"Not a bad haul!"
Xiao Chen was satisfied and was about to leave the dungeon. Little did he know that by clearing out these remaining small monsters, he would directly change his fate.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard an urgent broadcast:
"Warning!"
"Warning!"
"An unknown existence is watching you."
"Leave the dungeon immediately!"
"No, don't leave the dungeon, whatever you do, don't draw that being's attention to the Blue Star Plane."
Xiao Chen was a bit puzzled until he saw a blood-red eye suddenly appear in front of him.
The eye seemed to be embedded in the sky, incredibly natural. But the red eye was nothing like a normal human's, filled with eeriness and danger.
"Damn, isn't this a hidden BOSS?"
Almost instinctively, Xiao Chen grabbed his bow and arrows, and a few arrows were already shot out.
"Holy crap!"
The system broadcast can swear too?
"You have attacked a mysterious existence!"
"-1"
"You have gained +1 mysterious blood."
Xiao Chen's instinctive attack seemed to make the eye instinctively close as well.
Once the eye closed, it didn't open again.
"What the hell is going on?"
Isn't this a dungeon? How could an eye just pop up?
Xiao Chen had never heard of such a thing happening.
"You have obtained a drop of mysterious blood, a special controlled item will be submitted to the plane."
"???"
What the hell, can it be like this?
"You have received a special contribution reward, all attributes +100, gold coins +1000."
"You will receive special attention from the plane."
What the hell is happening?
"Special contribution, and this is all the reward?"
He said this subconsciously, even though this reward was enough to make him happy for a long time.
"You have obtained your life-bound weapon!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was stunned on the spot.
Can you even negotiate for this?
And what is a life-bound weapon?
Xiao Chen quickly opened his backpack and saw a wooden bow inside.
[Ordinary Wooden Bow (Exclusive Weapon, Non-tradable) Equipment Level: None
All Attributes +10 Attack +30 Attack Range +5 Attack Speed +0.1 Experience Bonus 10%
Effect 1: 10% chance of a critical hit, Attack +100
Upgrade Requirements: Experience 10000, Gold Coins 1000, Black Iron 10, Beast Tendon 1]
Weapons can be upgraded and require experience?
I have to say, the things he encountered today completely exceeded his understanding.
He quickly opened the forum and searched for a long time before finding information related to life-bound weapons.
"There have been a total of 21 life-bound weapons issued in this world, with 14 still in existence."
Only those who have made outstanding contributions to the world can receive the reward of a life-bound weapon.
In Tiannan City, there is one person with a life-bound weapon, and that is Xiao Yan.
"Damn, did I make some outstanding contribution?"
"Does helping a few newbies level up count? But I charged them money!"
"Or is it because of that strange drop of blood?"
Xiao Chen didn't know what to say, he felt like his fate was about to change.
A life-bound weapon, is this something he should possess?
Search "pawread.com" for the original.
If he suddenly made a small fortune, Xiao Chen would be particularly happy.
But if he received something so exaggerated, Xiao Chen would be a bit worried.
Xiao Chen opened the marketplace and compared ordinary weapons, realizing that the life-bound weapon was too overpowered.
Even a weapon of ordinary rank had skill effects, increased attack speed, and attack range!
And an experience bonus!
Of course, Xiao Chen didn't dwell on it for long and immediately switched his equipment to the life-bound weapon.
Since it was a reward from the plane, there must be a reason for it.
Such a thing, why not take it for free.
"Anyway, there's no rush to level up, I'll just keep using this weapon from now on."
The ordinary life-bound weapon still had a gap compared to the bronze bow he was using.
After equipping the life-bound weapon, his attack decreased by 770, and his attack range decreased by 5 meters.
But these didn't matter because the life-bound weapon could be upgraded.
Moreover, he was forced to submit a drop of mysterious blood, and the system rewarded him with 100 all attributes, so Xiao Chen's overall strength was actually about the same as before.
With the life-bound weapon, Xiao Chen sold both weapons in his backpack.
The two weapons together fetched 2000 gold coins.
Now, Xiao Chen had 3125 gold coins.
The materials needed to upgrade the weapon weren't hard to find; the marketplace even had them.
After equipping the weapon, Xiao Chen discovered that the weapon would take away 20% of his experience.
Fortunately, the life-bound weapon itself had an experience bonus, otherwise, it would be really unbearable.
After returning to the guild territory, Xiao Chen immediately gathered a group of people to level up.
This time, he directly gathered ten people.
Each person still paid two hundred gold, and Xiao Chen's total gold coins quickly surpassed five thousand.
Xiao Chen was already familiar with the process, and this time he was even more efficient.
"All of you stay on the city wall, don't worry about anything, and don't talk to me unless necessary."
Xiao Chen was now focused on his life-bound weapon and didn't have time to deal with others.
After a long time, Xiao Chen's weapon finally gained ten thousand experience.
He realized that this experience was taken from his own experience pool.
In other words, killing monsters below level fifty wouldn't give the life-bound weapon any experience.
How should I put it, it's quite a rip-off.
Originally, he thought he could quickly gain experience by farming low-level monsters like Xiao Qiang.
With enough experience and materials, Xiao Chen directly upgraded the life-bound weapon.
[Your life-bound weapon has been successfully upgraded.]
[Black Iron Bow (Exclusive Weapon, Non-tradable) Equipment Level: None
All Attributes +40 Attack +200 Attack Range +10 Attack Speed +0.2 Experience Bonus 20%
Skill 1: 10% chance of a critical hit, Attack +400
Skill 2: 10% chance to ignore the opponent's defense
Upgrade Requirements: Experience 1000000, Gold Coins 10000, Fine Iron 10, Mithril 10, Beast Tendon 1]
The upgrade to the next tier significantly enhanced the life-bound weapon.
However, seeing the upgrade requirements left Xiao Chen speechless.
One million experience, ten thousand gold coins, it's more expensive than a summoned beast!
With four thousand gold coins left, Xiao Chen originally planned to buy an Undying Crystal Core for Xiao Qiang.
Now, he might need to reconsider.
The 0.2 increase in attack speed significantly improved Xiao Chen's monster farming efficiency.
Now, he could almost shoot once per second.
The additional skill also increased his output considerably.
Now, Xiao Chen's strength couldn't be judged by basic attack alone; the various bonuses combined were quite formidable.
Xiao Chen somewhat understood why Xiao Yan was so powerful; having a life-bound weapon was a huge advantage.
Upgrading the weapon to bronze level required ten thousand gold coins.
If he wanted Xiao Qiang to advance as well, it would take twenty thousand gold.
For now, changing other equipment was out of the question, and he couldn't afford bronze-level skill books or public skill books.
Xiao Chen felt he was on the most challenging path to improvement.
