BXBX NOVEL Chapter 63
He would think about it once he was outside.
He put on the white-gold destiny epaulet on his chest.
[Destiny epaulet: only those who have passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials can obtain it. After wearing it, in addition to being respected, all expenses will be reduced by 50%, and there is a possibility of obtaining other effects.]
“It’s not bad.”
At this moment, a system notification came.
[Ding. As you’ve reached Level 20, the third move of the Ode of the Phoenix, Phoenix Possession, has been activated.]
[Phoenix Possession: the third move of Ode of the Phoenix. Releases Phoenix Possession, receiving fixed damage. Effect: after chanting for one second, you’ll receive the blessing of the phoenix’s strength. For the next 15 seconds, your movement speed will be increased by 500%. Every attack will deal 5,000 fixed damage and a second burn effect. Mana consumption: 500. Cooldown time: two days.]
“If I had obtained this skill before I came here, I wouldn’t have been so tired from fighting Gluttony.”
Chu Bai sighed.
He then turned his attention to the equipment dropped by Gluttony!
A dark demon weapon and a gold weapon.
There were a bunch of other things too.
[Blade of Brutality. Grade: Gold. Usage requirement: it has not been appraised and can’t be used.]
[Gluttony Armor. Grade: Dark Demon. Usage requirement: it has not been appraised and can’t be used.]
Chu Bai kept the equipment.
Then, he saw a skill book.
[Ruling Strike Skill Book. Usage requirement: swordsman, assassin. You can get the skill, Ruling Strike, after using it.]
Chu Bai crushed it without any hesitation.
[Ding. You’ve received the skill, Ruling Strike.]
[Ruling Strike: a joint skill between a swordsman and assassin, it’s a powerful instant stab type skill. Effect: lunges forward in a straight line up to a maximum of ten meters. The lunge will be completed in 0.1 seconds. The first unit that it hits during this period will be dealt damage equivalent to attack power and be stunned for two seconds. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]
F *ck!
Chu Bai was stunned when he saw the skill!
There was no lack of crowd control skills in any game!
However, crowd control skills, especially those that made people unable to move or attack, were considered to be more advanced than speed reduction, magic suppression, and knock-up skills. Even if they were knocked-up, in theory, it was possible to adapt in the air.
Once the stun effect hit the target, the target would be unable to resist for two seconds.
Therefore, in theory, control skills like stun either had a long cooldown or a short stun duration!
The two-second stun and 30-second cooldown were ridiculous.
In addition to Holy Light Glint that Lil Xue’er had obtained, Chu Bai now had the crowd control skills that he had been lacking.
“Tokens?”
Chu Bai saw a pile of recovery potions and a few tokens.
“So many of them?”
Chu Bai picked up one first.
[Guild building order: can be used to build a guild. This is the first guild building order in the entire server. Usage: one.]
“It’s actually a guild building order.”
The guild building order only dropped from yellow-gold bosses and above. The drop rate was extremely low!
Only with the guild building order could a guild be established.
This was something that all the players were desperately trying to find in the early stages of the game!
After all, a guild would be bigger if it was established first. Moreover, the earlier a guild was established, the more guild rewards it would receive.
Chu Bai kept it.
Then, he looked at the other two tokens.
[Warzone prohibition: after use, all players in a warzone can’t leave the starter village for a day.]
Both were warzone prohibition tokens.
“What’s the use of this?”
Chu Bai casually threw them into his spatial ring.
In the end, Chu Bai found something that was emitting light in the pile of gold coins and medicine bottles.
Chu Bai held it in his hand.
He could not tell what it was, but it looked like a stone.
[Reincarnation. Grade: Sacred Seal. It’s one of the seven ultimate hidden items in Fate. It possesses unimaginable power and seems to be a key to someplace. However, no one knows how to use it. It is very mysterious.]
“It’s an ultimate hidden item again.”
This was the second one Chu Bai had encountered.
The first one was Broken Glass.
If Broken Glass meant resurrection, then what did this thing mean?
He could not understand.
...
Chu Bai placed it into his spatial ring.
“Just this?”
Chu Bai did not give up. He squatted down and used his gathering skill on Gluttony.
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
“There’s indeed something!”
Chu Bai’s eyes lit up.
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
[Ding. You’ve successfully collected the item, fresh meat.]
[Ding. Your gathering skill has been upgraded to Level 3.]
Chu Bai looked at the item in his hand.
[Fresh meat. Grade: undetermined. It comes from the body of Gluttony, and it may have some effects after cooking.]
...
Chu Bai was speechless.
F*ck you!
He could not eat this, right?
Lil Xue’er sniffed Chu Bai’s hand out of curiosity.
“Don’t smell it.”
Chu Bai quickly kept the fresh meat.
“Wuuu...”
Lil Xue’er called out to Chu Bai in confusion.
Then, she licked her lips as if she was hungry.
“It’s raw. It’s not delicious,” Chu Bai said.
Then, Lil Xue’er nodded.
However, she called out again.
Chu Bai understood what she meant.
She probably meant that it could be eaten after it was cooked. Lil Xue’er wanted to eat it.
“No, I’m not letting you eat that.”
“Wuuu...”
Lil Xue’er then lowered her head in dejection and rubbed against Chu Bai’s ankle to express her goodwill.
“Be good. I’ll let you eat something else when I have the chance, okay?”
Chu Bai touched her.
“Wuuu!”
Lil Xue’er cried out happily.
Chu Bai then squatted down and continued to use his gathering skill.
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
...
[Ding. Gathering failed, gathering skill proficiency increased.]
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
...
Chu Bai spent five minutes doing this!
Hundreds of failures!
With the one minute of rest, Gluttony’s body was about to disappear.
Chu Bai quickly picked up the pace.
[Ding. Gathering failed, gathering skill proficiency increased.”
[Ding. Gathering failed, gathering skill proficiency increased.]
[Ding...]
...
At this moment, a system notification came.
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, please note that the system has made 20 system announcements when you were tired. Your ID was emphasized. Asking for praise!]
Chu Bai did not hear it clearly because this system notification overlapped with the continuous gathering notifications.
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, please note that the system has made 20 system announcements when you were tired. Your ID was emphasized. Asking for praise!]
This time, Chu Bai heard it clearly.
F*ck!
Was it so human-like?
However, he was focused on gathering the items, and there were only 20 seconds left.
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, please note that the system has made 20 system announcements when you were tired. Your ID was emphasized. Asking for praise! Getting angry!]
Chu Bai did not say a word, but his sweat was dripping down.
It was the last ten seconds.
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, just praise me.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, just praise me.]
“I’ll give you a bad review if you keep talking.”
Chu Bai said directly. Although he did not know how to give a bad review, he just said it.
The system chimed in: [Shocked!]
It was the last five seconds now.
[Ding. You’ve successfully collected Goddess Tian Xue’s white underwear.]
[Ding. Your gathering skill has been upgraded to Level 5.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
At the last second, he tried to use it again.
[Ding. You’ve successfully collected a mysterious parchment scroll.]
