Chapter 332: Chapter 315 What are you pretending to be?

"Boss~"

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Xia Kai pounced over with a sycophantic expression.

"You little rascal, why are you acting like you’ve had an aphrodisiac?"

Liu Zheng pushed him away with disgust.

"Hehe, because it was a big harvest. Look."

Xia Kai took out four items, a rune, a false eye, a hand pistol, and a potion.

Liu Zheng took them all and the item descriptions popped up one by one.

"Name: Blood Rune"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: When you land a critical hit on a target’s organs, you can recover a small amount of health."

"Note: Don’t ask me whether intestines count as organs!"

"Name: Peeping Eye"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: Increase perception by 2 points, chance to see through hidden attributes on the surface of items."

"Note: What is this? Let me press it and see."

"Name: Refined Hunter Pistol"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: Every third shot increases the power of the next shot by 20%."

"Note: Is that why you always miss the first three shots?"

"Name: Enlightenment Potion"

"Type: Consumable"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: After use, increases player’s perception and spirit by 5 points for 10 minutes."

"Note: I gave this to you for writing thesis, not for throwing imparty!"

"Indeed a big harvest."

He nodded.

Although they were all fine-quality items, three out of the four were equipment and the effects were quite practical, which was quite good.

"Choose one for yourself."

Liu Zheng said.

If it weren’t for Xia Kai, the player, others probably wouldn’t have noticed these things.

"Can I have this hand pistol?"

Xia Kai asked cautiously.

From a practical standpoint, the hand pistol was definitely the most valuable.

The effect of "20% increased power for the next shot" paired with some special bullets could create a synergy greater than the sum of their parts.

Moreover, he did indeed lack a decent weapon.

Not to mention, it was a ranged weapon, which suited his cowardly character well.

"Sure."

Liu Zheng nodded.

It was just a fine-quality weapon, and even as a ranged weapon, he wasn’t short on them.

If he really wanted one, he could just ask Amelia or Beethoven, and they would surely provide it.

"Thank you, boss, hehe."

Xia Kai’s face was beaming.

"Just a fine-quality equipment, is it worth that much excitement?"

Liu Zheng said speechlessly.

Even though he knew that the difficulty in Metropolis’s instance was abnormal and so was the drop rate for items, it wasn’t like coming across spring rains after a long drought, right?

"Boss, you don’t know, in Hell’s Game the drop rate for equipment is very low. An old hand I know has cleared three instances and only got three pieces of equipment, and one of those was exchanged with a completion reward."

Xia Kai explained.

"You’re so well informed, is he your real dad or something, telling you everything."

Liu Zheng mocked.

"Of course, he must have his own secrets. But the low production of equipment should be true."

Xia Kai said confidently.

"Hmm, seems like it."

He thought about the numerous items he had obtained; equipment was indeed scarce, mostly consumables, and most were one-time use.

"Lao Dou, where’s my stuff?"

Liu Zheng didn’t dwell on this matter and looked towards the helmet man.

"Dang dang!"

The helmet man knocked on his helmet and then dragged out a box from behind him.

By the looks of the box, it should also be something from Carcarens Academy.

The helmet man opened the box, inside of which there was a Divine Son’s umbilical cord, three Holy Grails, and a large Blood Gem.

"Hm? I thought there was no stock left of Blood Gems?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"Oh, that’s what Lao Dou and the others got from killing three strange guys."

Xia Kai explained.

"Then why is there only one piece?"

"Don’t know, after those three guys were killed their bodies vanished, and this Blood Gem was the only thing left on the ground."

Xia Kai spread his hands.

"Alright, it’s still an unexpected gain."

He nodded and packed everything away.

"Where is the Twisted Saint’s body?"

He asked again.

"Dang!"

The helmet man pulled the body of the Twisted Saint from under his cloak.

"Why is there only so little left?"

Liu Zheng furrowed his brows.

The body of the Twisted Saint in front of him had shrunk by at least half compared to what he had seen through the statue.

"On the way back, a blood-red moonlight suddenly shone down. Half of the Twisted Saint’s body directly melted, and it reflected that moonlight back."

Xia Kai explained.

"Good going, did the Moon Demon try to possess the Twisted Saint’s body?"

Liu Zheng smacked his lips.

Not a bad idea at all.

If possessing a human would lead to a reduction in strength, then the loss while possessing the body of a Twisted Saint would undoubtedly be minimal, and the strength could even increase.

Fortunately, the Twisted Saint was strong enough to bounce it back.

"Well done."

He praised the Twisted Saint.

Of course, there was no response.

Speaking of which, who would the Moon Demon seek to possess next? Not Beethoven, right?

If so, Liu Zheng could legitimately bust his Moonlight Holy Sword.

"Lao Bei, if you don’t hold up your end, don’t blame a brother for not being righteous."

Liu Zheng showed a smile that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

"What about the woman?"

Liu Zheng asked.

He had just noticed that Yuserna’s daughter was missing.

"Yuserna tried to activate the mechanism of the Secret Library and was slain by me on the spot."
