Chapter Thirty Blue Ring

  "What's wrong, still thinking about Murong Xiangxiang from earlier?"

  Walking on the road, Xin Yu smiled and said, without showing any unhappy expression.

  I shook my head and said, "It's not that I miss her, I'm just thinking, when can I get a blue piece of equipment like that? The attributes of blue and green equipment are too different, the additional attributes have even reached double digits."

  "It doesn't really matter, equipment will always be available somehow, you can't rush it."

  I took a glance at Xinyu's slender and beautiful figure, smiled and said: "You're not in a hurry at all, what is Sister Lin raising us for? Is it to make money or take us out to play? If we can't get equipment, how are we supposed to repay her?"

  "Just casually saying, don't be so serious, let's go upgrade and get equipment"

  Xin Yu walked ahead of everyone else, her small leather shoes clicking "clack clack" on the blind path.

  Back in the room, I immediately turned on my computer and went online. After putting on my headset, I reappeared outside the small hut next to the graveyard. The two monsters I killed this morning had already respawned, and from a distance, I could even see that the Clear Fragrance Flower at the center of the monster's lair had also respawned.

  Continuing with the method from this morning, the skull warriors in front of me turned into experience points one after another. Watching my experience bar slowly rise gave me a great sense of accomplishment.

  "Whoa!"

  System Prompt: Player Murong Xiangxiang requests a voice chat with you.

  "Huh? What's this guy doing opening the comms device?"

  "Ah? Xiangxiang, is there something?"

  "Of course there is, did you go out just now, Qingcai?"

  My heart suddenly "thudded" and I tensely said: "Yes, went out with a colleague for a bit."

  Murong Xiangxiang smiled slightly mischievously: "Not colleagues, but girlfriends, right?"

  "I couldn't help it: 'Xiang Xiang, I know that girl just now was you, and the MM with me is really my colleague, don't think wildly!'"

  Murong Xiangxiang let out a "heh" and laughed: "Lin Fan, you seem to care a lot about my opinion of you?"

  "Ah..." She already knew my real name... I was sweating profusely, and dealing with these women made my scalp tingle. After thinking for a moment, I continued: "Xiang Xiang, I'm just stating a fact, the one who's overthinking is probably you!"

  "Alright alright, let's not talk about that beauty, what are you doing now?"

  "Kill monsters, complete quests."

  "Wow, you're still killing monsters while chatting with me? You're really something! Ah, I didn't even notice, when did you become the number one expert in our city?"

  "If it's not powerful enough, I won't be able to hit the equipment. If I can't hit the equipment, I'll just go drink northwest wind."

  "Lin Fan, are you a professional player?"

  "Of course, are you a student?"

  "That's right."

  I swallowed hard and said, "You must have a lot of money, this month alone you've spent several thousand on games."

  "Do you have money?" Murong Xiangxiang's tone was strange, and she continued: "If I had the money, I would buy all your equipment, and I wouldn't be afraid of you laughing at me. After buying so much equipment, my living expenses for this month would become a problem."

  "You still go eat KFC, a whole family bucket is almost 80 yuan?"

  "That's just normal consumption, you're being too serious..."

  ……

  Like this, I killed monsters while chatting with Murong Shanshan. After repeated practice, I became more and more skilled. Whether it was luring or killing monsters, I became extremely proficient. The distance of luring monsters that ordinary people couldn't control had become effortless for me. Even the running position and insertion between monsters had become so familiar that I was amazed at myself. With my not-so-high agility, I could run out of a group of monsters without taking any damage, which was so strange that it almost scared myself.

  Through Da Shan, I learned that Murong Xiangxiang is a sophomore student who just turned 21 years old. Her family seems to be quite wealthy, as they spent nearly a thousand yuan on her birthday dinner alone, which explains why she's so generous with her spending.

  "Lin Fan, isn't it just three days since my birthday?"

  "What's it to you, are you implying something?"

  "What do you think?"

  "Well, I have a level 3 white warrior's belt here, and I'll bear the pain to give it to you. Do you want it?" I replied extremely calmly.

  "Come on, don't be so petty!!"

  "That... girl should be reserved..."

  "Uh... I just woke up... I completely forgot what I said earlier..."

  "...…", 5555, too gangster!!

  It wasn't until nearly 7 o'clock in the evening that I finally collected all 20 Qingyu flowers, and my level rose by two levels at once, directly from level 18 to level 20. After killing four pieces of monsters, I reached level 19, but in order to reach level 20, I had to kill a full 15 pieces of monsters, which shows how difficult it is to upgrade.

  After gathering all the task items, I hurriedly came to the tomb guardian's room and applied the Qingyu flower directly to his chest.

  "Ding!"

  System Prompt: You have completed the task of the Tomb Guardian, gaining 55,000 experience, 5 gold coins, reputation +250, and obtaining the item "Tomb Guardian Ring".

  My heart skipped a beat, another ring? I hastily opened the package to take a look.

  Tomb Guardian Ring (Blue Equipment)

  Strength +15

  Vitality +12

  Agile +16

  Special Effect: When equipped with this item and attacking an opponent, absorbs 3% of the damage dealt as HP.

  Required level: 20

  ……

  I rubbed my eyes and looked again before I was sure - this really is a blue ring!

  Strength and physical strength have increased significantly, and agility has also increased by as much as 16 points. Most importantly, there is a special blood-sucking function. With my current attack on skeleton warriors, I can hit around 180 each time, so every attack can recover about 6 points of blood. Coupled with the effect of tomato sauce, fighting skeleton warriors almost doesn't require using health potions at all.

  I've added all the points to strength, it's almost become a habit for me. Among all the physically damaging professions, the swordsman has the highest attack output. Since I want to be a high attack output profession, I might as well just go all out and be a full-strength swordsman. The aspects of agility and defense can be made up for with equipment anyway. With my current status and luck, getting top-notch equipment is absolutely no problem.

  The tomb guardian NPC has disappeared, the skull warriors have returned to their original chaotic state, and there is nothing left to guard. I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. This situation means that others will no longer be able to receive this quest, nor can they obtain the same blue ring, at least not easily!

  I equipped the ring and immediately checked my own attributes and equipment:
