Chapter 161: Chapter 160: The Wine Factory is Profitable (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)

The rewards for this [Periodic Task] were few, but there were quite a lot of spoils to be obtained.

He Feng managed to snatch a flag, which turned out to be [Epic Equipment], from a Sea Clan [Player].

Now, He Feng had two [Epic] level weapons. Unfortunately, the flag had usage requirements that He Feng couldn’t meet.

So it had to be dismantled.

Li Changhe and Mr. Bai watched the dismantling with cringing expressions.

Li Changhe also had some gains - two Fantasy Species materials. He did not know if they could be dismantled into [Sequence Gene]. At any rate, the materials would be useful for Li Changhe to upgrade his [Equipment].

As for selective rewards, one had to choose from [Title], [Skill], and [Equipment]. This was more detailed than the standard lottery draw.

Li Changhe pondered over his options while applying medicine to his wounds.

With the [Title] [Hundred-Headed Shooter], Li Changhe’s combat style would be more fitting for an archer. The increased long-range damage, coupled with the [Worm Mechanical Bow], would make Li Changhe a highly efficient mortar.

Li Changhe could also switch to [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers] whenever he needed to face group attacks. He could switch between the two titles with a 24-hour gap, but having a third one would be wasteful.

So he decided not to swap out his [Title] just yet.

Li Changhe was hesitant about the [Equipment] options. All of Li Changhe’s equipment had been destroyed, especially the [Great Wall Mountain Armor], which was torn apart by the hounds. Yun Ting spent a long time in the lake before finally piecing together a full set. It was unknown if the previous effects would remain after [Reforging].

His [Ghost Face Mask] had several cracks, and the flames no longer appeared. The mask, which could change his appearance and voice, needed to be reforged.

The [Tang Composing Broadsword] had several fist-shaped indentations, and its twelve consecutive slash effect was useful. It also needed to be reforged.

The [Bone-crushing Chopper], originally a task item from the Tomb of the Dead, needed to be preserved. It needed reforging as well.

Broke the chain of [Wind Demon Old Lead], this lead ball... Let’s skip on the reforging this time and upgrade it!

This cost Li Changhe 200 game coins.

All that was left for Li Changhe to use was the [Worm Mechanical Bow].

How destitute and pitiful he was!

But he would soon have materials from two Fantasy Species to strengthen his [Equipment] further. He might even get an [Epic]!

He wasn’t in a hurry for the [Equipment].

So he decided on [Skill]. If he was lucky and got a powerful attack [Skill], Li Changhe’s combat strength would improve tremendously. His current melee strength was too weak. Though [Fierce Tiger Climbing Hard] was an excellent skill, it was not sustainable. In Mr. Bai’s basement, Li Changhe practiced punching 1000+ damage, but he had never again used [Fierce Tiger Climbing Hard] to kill a [Player].

Most of the time, Li Changhe relied on [Horizontal Blade] and [Octopole Fist] close combat [Skill] for fighting. After all, a single punch consumed 20% of his physical strength - a high price to pay. [Breath of Thunder] also consumed a percentage of physical strength.

Li Changhe would have to wait until his Physique Features or Strength Trait unlocked a quick physical recovery effect.

Otherwise, with his limited energy and physical strength, Li Changhe could only manage two punches at most. If his physical strength value was too low, he would exhaust himself to death.

"I’ll go with [Skill], then. More choices won’t hurt." Li Changhe tapped on the option in his mind.

A flash of golden light appeared on his hand, followed by a card.

[Revenge Counterattack Skill Learning Card]

[Skill Type: Auxiliary Skill]

[Effect: Receive damage and strengthen the next attack (calculated based on the amount of damage taken)]

[Consumption: Requires 10% energy value to activate, lasts for 10 seconds]

[Learning Conditions: Accomplish ’Heavy Killer’ ’Deathmatch Killing God’ achievements, 10 or more Physique points, no required personality inclination]

[Notes: Have you ever seen a sandbag-sized fist?]

Li Changhe’s brows furrowed, and he asked He Feng next to him, "Box, do you want this skill? Want to trade?"

This skill would greatly complement He Feng’s [Beast Fury Mad King] and would deal massive damage. He Feng already had the power to negate death once and strengthen his next attack.

If he took a double dose of the damage from this [Revenge Counterattack],

He could probably deal 6000+ damage with one shot. Why would he need to worry about insufficient damage output then?

With [General Mountain], the number one gunman would be He Feng!

However, He Feng shook his head after taking a look, "I don’t have the ’Deathmatch Killing God’ achievement, so I can’t learn it. Plus, I chose a [Title] for my reward, so we can’t trade. You should learn it."

Mr. Bai shook his head too, "It’s not suitable for my combat style, and I don’t meet the learning conditions either."

Li Changhe could only use it for himself. Although it wasn’t the best skill, it would still improve his combat capabilities. The fact that it didn’t consume physical strength was a huge bonus.

When engaged in close combat, after being beaten to a pulp, Li Changhe could activate [Revenge Counterattack] and strike with [Fierce Tiger Climbing Hard]. It would at least strengthen his close-combat prowess.

"The only question is whether this kind of attack bonus can be applied to long-range attacks." Li Changhe frowned and pondered. If so, Li Changhe could even become a nuclear arrow Immortal when necessary.

Or maybe he could apply it to a soul-entering shot with a lead ball?

"Let the lead ball go! I can’t stand watching it anymore," Yun Ting complained in his mind.

...

Soon, Mr. Bai’s off-road vehicle arrived at the rental building where Li Changhe was staying.

After Mr. Bai’s surgery, Li Changhe’s pain had been blocked for a long time. With the help of medicine, Li Changhe should be able to sleep well.

"You should rest early. After the [Sun Halo] event, many [Players] have left Yanyun. But we can’t guarantee that someone won’t try to steal their identity." Mr. Bai looked at the old residential area and said with a frown, "You should also find a new place. I heard this place is going to be demolished."

"Really?" Li Changhe was taken aback. He then counted the budget he had for a new place, realizing that the preparations made against the curse of the [Tingdaros Hound] had cost most of it, but it was enough to rent a new place.

"It seems I need to find a new house." Li Changhe shook his head but didn’t seem too concerned.

"Come check out my place when you have time. It’s good to live closer to each other as allies," said Mr. Bai. "I heard our [General Mountain] got new members? You even got yourself a ’Hidden Pile’ identity? Trying to make it bigger, huh?"

"Among them, the only one we can really trust is Wang Er," He Feng interjected. "He also has a [Great Wall] Hidden Pile identity. We should avoid getting too close to the others - who knows if they’re members of other [Player Organizations]?"

"I get it. So it turns out that we have only four people we can trust in [General Mountain], which is us three and Wang Er." Mr. Bai nodded.

"Out of the four trustworthy people, all three of you have connections to [Great Wall]? So I’m the only one who’s with Qin Jiu?" Mr. Bai realized, "What’s the point of calling it [General Mountain]? We should just rename it to Winery."
