Chapter 365: Kind Tyc.o.o.n’s Suggestion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The news of Happy clearing the royal mausoleum alone quickly spread through the game!
Some people said that Happy had obtained nearly one hundred masterpieces during his trip. Others claimed that Happy did not just take loot from the ninjas, but also General Puppets, Ninja King’s clone, Ninja King, and even Old Swordsman. Nation Protecting Divine Sword and the heirloom seal was probably all part of his collection as well.
There was also people saying that Ninja King and Old Swordsman might drop demon vessels and even ultimate techniques.
Anyway, all sorts of rumors pushed Happy to the middle of a thunderstorm again, and many of the people challenging the royal mausoleum became uneasy.
After all, the rewards from the royal mausoleum were incredibly great! With just one round, a person could get extraordinary rewards from normal ninjas! Besides, Happy seemed to have been able to deal with even Ninja King and Old Swordsman, so who would actually believe that he would easily give up on the resources from the royal mausoleum?
If anyone else were in his place, they would definitely stay inside and refuse to leave. They would definitely occupy the resources in the royal mausoleum with a firm hand.
And it was the same case for Happy!
The rewards he gained in one day were incredibly astonis.h.i.+ng.
In his previous life, no one had been able to occupy most of the resources in the royal mausoleum by themselves. Happy, however, had killed Ninja King and the General Puppets. He had also s.n.a.t.c.hed the heirloom seal from Old Swordsman’s hands.
When he left the royal mausoleum, he totalled up his rewards. He had forty-three middle-grade equipment, fourteen middle-grade weapons, thirty-two high-grade equipment, twenty-six high-grade weapons, one hundred and forty sets of Soaring Eagle Swords, one Nation Protecting Divine Sword, one Golden Boots, and seven high-tier martial art manuals. Among them were two for Shadowless Knife, one Shadow Sword Technique, one Dual Saber Art, two Great Yan Dynasty Saber Techniques, and one Stormy Shadowless Kick.
Last time, Ninja King had only dropped a damaged Golden Armor when Old Swordsman attacked and killed him, but this time, Happy obtained the real Golden Armor.
[Golden Armor (grade one masterpiece):
[Defense 800, reduces internal damage by 20%, retains posture unless instant damage to user surpa.s.ses user’s personal defense or 1,000 points. Actions will not be interrupted. Increase dodge rate by 20%. Increase Body Movement by 10. Gather all five parts and overall defense increases by 200. Provides additional 30% damage if user retains posture. Increases an additional 10 Body Movement.]
Aside from Golden Armor, Happy had one pair of Golden Boots, one Stormy Shadowless Kick manual, which was mentioned above, two Vajra Stones, and one Golden Glove, which was a grade one masterpiece.
Such loot could be described as sumptuous.
Happy headed to a nearby city after his trip. The moment he found a commission shop and was prepared to trade the items with Phoenix Dances, however, Kind Tyc.o.o.n sent a messenger pigeon.
Kind Tyc.o.o.n’s words made it clear that he was very eager.
[Brother Happy, you finally came out of the royal mausoleum. How are your rewards?]
[Normal.]
Happy’s answer caused a certain merchant in Beijing to stand stunned for a few seconds in front of his counter.
[Hehe, Happy, you truly know how to joke. How can your rewards be normal when you cleared the royal mausoleum alone?]
[What I earned is just money as a laborer, unlike you, Tyc.o.o.n. You can get hundreds of millions by just creating one third-echelon masterpiece.]
Happy was no longer in a hurry to get the third-echelon Clear Abyss since Ninja King was much easier to deal with than Stone King. He could kill him in less than thirty minutes. While he might have an easier time if he had Clear Abyss, it would not help him fight against Old Swordsman. Old Swordsman’s damage was not something Ninja King could compare to.
Perhaps Kind Tyc.o.o.n had noticed the change in Happy’s tone, for he replied swiftly.
[Hehe, you must be joking. I wrote a letter to buy your masterpieces this time.]
[I know. I haven’t got one hundred of them yet. I’m going to challenge the place again tomorrow. Once I have enough, I’ll contact you.]
[No, what I mean is that we can make the trade today. One grade one masterpiece is comparable to ten high-grade masterpieces. I believe that you should have Nation Protecting Divine Sword and Golden Armor Set parts as well. If you got Golden Armor, it would be the best. I will pay you 1,800,000 taels of silver for each grade two weapon, and each weapon of the lower grade will be 700,000 each. For that grade one Nation Protecting Divine Sword, I’ll pay you 4,000,000, and as for Golden Armor, you can set the price.] Kind Tyc.o.o.n swiftly voiced his thoughts.
There was a list of figures packed densely together on the letter. Judging by the looks of it, Kind Tyc.o.o.n had already set his mind on getting the Golden Armor Set from Happy’s hands.
Happy was quiet for a long time.
Even though he wanted to deny the fact that he killed Ninja King, when he thought about how he planned to head to the royal mausoleum the next day as well, he knew that there was no harm in him admitting to it. He could not hide the truth forever.
[Tyc.o.o.n, let’s just maintain our previous deal. At the very latest by tomorrow at this hour, I will trade you one hundred high-grade masterpieces. I won’t sell the Golden Armor Set or Nation Protecting Divine Sword.]
[Hmm… then can you tell me Golden Armor Set’s attributes?]
[There’s no problem with that.]
Happy answered without hesitation, but he did not show it off in the commission shop like what Kind Tyc.o.o.n had done. Instead, he used words to describe Golden Armor Set’s attributes in a letter and sent a messenger pigeon over.
After nearly half a minute, Tyc.o.o.n replied. [Now I want Golden Armor even more. Are you sure you don’t want to trade it with me? I can trade it with my third-echelon Clear Abyss. Think about it.]
It had to be said that Tyc.o.o.n’s suggestion tempted Happy.
Even though he was the only person who had Golden Armor right then and third-echelon weapons were not something that Tyc.o.o.n had in possession alone, the cost to refine the third-echelon Clear Abyss far surpa.s.sed Golden Armor Set’s value.
Also, most people were still in Mystical Realm, which meant that there were plenty of people whose abilities were on part with each other. One third-echelon weapon could allow Happy’s advantage to be a step ahead of the others.
He thought about it, but then still tactfully rejected Kind Tyc.o.o.n’s suggestion.
Happy had never had something as luxurious as Golden Armor Set in his previous life. As of right then, since the heavens had decided to give him such a good chance, there was simply no way he could let it slide.
A third-echelon Clear Abyss was a grade two masterpiece. A few months later, it would become a weapon of little value. While it had a high echelon, its quality was not high.
Golden Armor Set was, however, a supreme grade armor that all martial artists dreamed of having.
A fourth-echelon Golden Armor was worth cities!
And a full fourth-echelon Golden Armor Set was priceless!
Happy had a good opportunity, and he had a strong urge to gather the full Golden Armor Set, even though he knew just how hard it would be.
Despite that, he still wanted to try.
[Ah, what a pity. If I had Golden Armor, I’m confident I could raise it to the third echelon. Tsk tsk, think about it. It’ll have an increase of 150% in its attributes! 2,000 defense! Golden Armor would become such a domineering equipment!]
Happy’s heart trembled.
[How?]
Kind Tyc.o.o.n replied in a very mysterious manner. [Hehe, it’s a secret.]
Happy could say nothing to that.
[When you decide to trade, I’ll tell you.]
