Chapter 407: Combat Power

Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97

A pair of medium-sized boots appeared before Feng Bujue. The boots were tall enough to cover the ankles, and it was made from the supplest of leather. There were dark decorative trails on the shoes. They looked like clouds, but upon closer inspection, he saw that the thin lines were actually geometrical shapes.

“Hmm. Even though I’ve come into contact with items like one-shot-kill pistols before, this is my first official legendary equipment. That is honestly quite exciting,” Feng Bujue commented as he studied the boots. “But to think something of this quality will be so powerful. That is a bit much.”

He removed the Jazz Shoes, which had been with him since the beginning. At that moment, he felt that he had used it a lot already, and he had decided that it was about time he tossed it into the Magical Disintegrator.

“Jazz Shoes, don’t you worry. Your spirit will be inherited by the next legendary equipment.” Brother Jue used a tone dripping with Soph.o.m.ore Syndrome to bid farewell to the Jazz Shoes. He temporarily placed it in the storage and then happily put on the new boots. Feng Bujue gravely said, “With this and the combo that I’ve been slaving away to complete for the past few days, there won’t be any problems.” Actually, he was not yet as confident as he had hoped.

Before the final, let us take a look at Brother Jue’s current status.

It was clear that Brother Jue’s power level had reached a new height over the past five days. That was normal because his att.i.tude had changed. He treated the game as something he had to deal with seriously. This was the result.

The details on the new skills and items would be given later, so we will skip over them now.

We shall instead talk about something else: The 300+ Skill Points was everything Feng Bujue had left after his spending spree. He visited Thriller Box quite a lot and spent more than 30,000 Skill Points. The expenditure of his Game Coins was not low either. He purchased quite a few cheap good-quality equipment from the Auction House for obvious purposes.

In terms of mastery, when Feng Bujue reached Level 40, his General Ability also levelled up to B. His Marksmans.h.i.+p also increased to C in one of the scenarios. But the biggest change should be his summoning mastery. After the match on the morning of the 25th, four players from Underworld Frontline queued up for a scenario. It happened to be a long scenario, so Feng Bujue completed his personal quest of successfully summoning fifty creatures that night.

After he returned to his log-in lobby, the system informed him he had completed the first step and he was notified of the next step.

———

Have your summoned creature use their skill 1000 times.

Current progress 0/1000

———

The reward for completing the first step was the Level D summoning skill—Bason.

Now we shall look at this item and skill. In a highly technologically advanced scenario, Brother Jue combined his flashlight with an anti-gravity gun, and that turned into the Compound Anti-Gravity Gun. In a fairytale-inspired scenario, Brother Jue obtained a mushroom that could neutralize the most negative debuff, and that was the fly agaric. In a wuxia scenario, Brother Jue used the Stool of the Eighteen Bronze Statues (No. 5) to trade for a skill called Desert Wind Spinning Kick. (Using the Bell of Jin Gang, he found out one of the NPCs was a secularized Bronze Man, so he successfully made this trade.) In a tomb-raider inspired scenario, Brother Jue obtained the Pocket Watch of Deceit.

Other than these items taken from different scenarios, Madam Shadow’s Caress was an item he traded with a set of puzzle cards, and he combined that with his original Puzzle Card monkey, along with others he found in the scenarios. This was a pair of gloves. The skill Jaō Ensatsu Rengoku Shō and Kamekameha came from Thriller Box.

In conclusion, Feng Bujue’s current level, along with everything he was equipped with, was very strong.

If Dream Inc. had listed out the statistics of the Top 50 partic.i.p.ants in the finals and opened a public voting platform on the official website for the players to pick who would be the winner, Feng Bujue would definitely be among the Top 5.

(Hmm…I should consider that. The word count would fill up to ten chapters.)

But even so…Feng Bujue himself put up a cynical att.i.tude toward the compet.i.tion. He believed in Murphy’s Law. He was always prepared for the worst.

As they say, different situations call for different actions. To not prepare is to fail. Within a limited time, Feng Bujue had done everything he could to improve his character status and used all the available resources. Everything else was in the hands of something as unpredictable and finicky as fate.
