Chapter 29: Perfect Grade Weapon

  "By the way, where are you going now?" After receiving the Tempered Bone Flower, Lin Chen and Xia Lu walked towards the outside of the Sunset Forest while Xia Lu asked Lin Chen with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

  "Now? I really don't know where to go now...", Lin Chen shook his head and replied.

  For Lin Chen, the most important thing now is to quickly improve his strength. After all, in his world, money is king. Although having money makes you a big shot, not having it doesn't necessarily put your life in danger. However, this world is different - it's a world where the strong are respected, and if your strength is weak, you may face life-threatening dangers at any time.

  It was just like going to find that perfect pharmacist, before Lin Chen was relying on his own little scheme, a moment of impulsiveness, now thinking about it is really frightening, although his own little scheme succeeded for the time being, but later that pharmacist didn't react afterwards? If he hadn't subdued Ares in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

  "Oh?" Hearing Lin Chen say that he currently has no goals and doesn't know where to go, Xia Lu's eyes lit up. "Then why don't you come with me to the Imperial Capital? This time, your help to me is also a good opportunity for me to repay your kindness."

  Her scorching gaze stared at Lin Chen, making Lin Chen feel overwhelmed. In fact, Lin Chen didn't know that Xia Lu, although she said she wanted to thank him for his help, actually mainly wanted him to guide her in alchemy.

  Considering that I really don't want to, and also don't have the time to teach others how to refine medicine, and although I did help Xia Lu, it was only helping Xia Lu after all. The people in the Marquis's manor, except for Xia Lu, no one wants to help her so-called brother collect Bone Flower, especially since they even lost a lot of guards just to help her brother collect Bone Flower.

  Thinking of this, when the time comes to return to Hou Jue's mansion, Xia Lu estimates that she will also be scolded by her family members. If she goes herself, it would indeed be somewhat inappropriate. However, although Lin Chen wants to refuse, thinking about the thief gang incident makes him unable to say no. The thief gang incident is clearly targeting Xia Lu, and if he leaves, Xia Lu might be attacked again while alone.

  "Never mind, let's just send the Buddha to the west...". Thinking of the unknown danger, Lin Chen secretly shook his head and whispered, "Actually, I'll be going to the Imperial Capital too, but I'm just passing by."

  "Just passing by?", Summer Lu was initially delighted to hear that Lin Chen was going to the Imperial Capital, but when she heard that he was only passing by, she immediately felt disappointed. However, since Lin Chen didn't want to stay in the Imperial Capital, Summer Lu couldn't persuade him otherwise and could only nod her head.

  After they had agreed, Lin Chen and Xia Lu walked directly out of the Sunset Forest, accompanied by an Ate. When they entered, there were magical beasts causing trouble, but when they left, with an Ate by their side, no magical beasts dared to cause any disturbance, so Lin Chen and Xia Lu didn't encounter any problems and exited the forest smoothly.

  When they walked out of the forest at sunset and returned to the small town, it was already late, so Lin Chen and Xia Lu decided to stay overnight and set off again early the next morning.

  It just so happened that when Lin Chen came out, the Ares by his side attracted a lot of attention. Although everyone mistakenly thought Ares was a level 4 magical beast, Fire Lizard, people who could keep a level 4 magical beast as a pet were extremely rare. Moreover, looking at Lin Chen's appearance, he didn't seem like a summoner either.

  Able to bring a fourth-level magical beast as a pet, the mercenaries and adventurers in the town couldn't help but notice Lin Chen and Xia Lu. However, Lin Chen chose to ignore these gazes.

  As for Xia Lu, as the young lady of the Marquis's residence, she had also developed an immunity to such gazes. Neither of them paid attention to the mercenaries and adventurers' stares, walking directly into the inn, ordering some food, and then each returning to their own rooms.

  Back in his own room, Lin Chen finally took out the mercenary greatsword rewarded from the space package. The broad sword was a high-quality equipment with decent attributes, at least its attack power was stronger than the iron sword in his hand. Looking at the greatsword in his hand, Lin Chen nodded and directly opened his skill panel, pulling out the synthesis panel of the casting skill.

  The iron sword was placed in the main equipment slot, and the mercenary's greatsword was placed in the secondary equipment slot. Lin Chen directly began synthesizing them, and after a loading screen lasting about two to three minutes, the synthesis of the weapons was finally complete. As expected, the iron sword had also risen from being a high-quality piece of equipment to a perfect one.

  "Flame-tempered Iron Sword (Perfect Grade), requires level 11, attack 45-60, has a 30% chance to add flame attribute damage, weight 5, durability 6/6". Lin Chen nodded silently as he looked at the greatly changed iron sword. For a level 15 character, having a perfect grade equipment was indeed rare.

  But Lin Chen looked at the other equipment on his body, and there were still many empty slots. He shook his head secretly, as a pharmacist, he had already collected a lot of medicinal materials and wouldn't be short of them in the near future. However, his equipment issues needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

  Equipment slots are divided into: helmet, weapon, clothing, pants, two wrist guards or bracelets, two rings, necklace, cloak, belt and shoes. In addition, there are three special equipment slots for a total of fifteen slots, twelve of which are equipment positions, while the other three special equipment slots are used to equip special items.

  Special items can be some props, or some special equipment. For example, the skill ring that came through and quickly increased the proficiency of skills, belongs to special equipment, was equipped by Lin Chen on his body, and it was precisely because of relying on the skill ring that Lin Chen could practice the two life skills of casting and medicine to the supreme level.

  I took a look at my own equipment, ordinary wolf skin armor, exquisite sheep horn ring and flame wolf necklace, plus the perfect flame iron sword, I only have four pieces of equipment on me. If I say that with this appearance, I am a top-level casting master, it would be ridiculous, and currently, my strength is low, so I can only put more effort into my equipment.

  "The problem with the medicine material is not that big of a deal now, let's focus on equipping ourselves first. Let's get a set of perfect-grade equipment to wear." Looking at his own shabby equipment, Lin Chen shook his head secretly. If he could get a set of perfect-grade equipment, he believed his combat power would also increase significantly.

  Lin Chen decided on the equipment and took out the materials from his package, refining a vial of Radiant Potion before heading out. Yatres, who was lying in Lin Chen's room, saw Lin Chen effortlessly produce a vial of potion and looked at it with shining eyes. Even after watching the Supreme Alchemist refine medicine a hundred times, Yatres still felt honored.

  Seeing Lin Chen go out, Yatse hurriedly got up and followed closely behind Lin Chen's back to go out. For Lin Chen, a vial of Brilliant Potion could complete the task and gain 2000 experience points, which was absolutely a worthwhile deal.

  Moreover, Lin Chen also wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could buy some materials for refining equipment. After all, for a top-notch caster like him, wanting to cast a perfect set of equipment shouldn't require particularly good materials.
