Chapter 21: The Great Swordsman

  "Out of equipment again?" Upon hearing the prompt, Lin Chen opened his own package and found a ring emitting a faint green glow inside. This surprised Lin Chen, who didn't expect to have such good luck recently, consecutively obtaining top-notch equipment.

  "Magic Ring, increases magic attack power by 22-36, additional attribute MP recovery +2, weight 1, durability 9/9."

  "It's actually a ring that recovers magic power? It's truly rare." Looking at this exquisite-grade magic ring, which happened to increase the recovery speed of MP, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile secretly.

  The so-called MP Recovery +2 may seem a bit abstract in this real world, but it can increase a person's magic recovery speed, which is absolutely not wrong. The so-called MP Recovery +2, according to the game data, that is, every second increases 2 points of MP, this attribute is still pretty good, although in the later period one move will cost hundreds of points of MP, it is indeed a bit inadequate, but in the early period it is still very good.

  "Here, I've had this thing lying around unused, so you can have it," Since it was a magician's equipment and only a fine-grade item at that, Lin Chen didn't intend to keep it for himself. He handed the magic ring over to Xia Lu in front of him.

  "What's this? Why?" Having just killed a third-class magical beast, Lin Chen suddenly took out a ring and gave it to himself, leaving Xia Lu somewhat perplexed.

  "This is a magician's equipment, I just remembered that I had such an item, and it was useless to keep it for myself, so I gave it to you. With this on, our safety factor will be higher," Lin Chen said, forcing the ring into Xia Lu's hand without hesitation, unable to say that he had obtained it from killing monsters, so he could only say that he had just remembered having such an item.

  Since Lin Chen was indeed giving it to himself, Xia Lu didn't know what aspect she had thought of, her face slightly reddened, and she silently nodded and put on the ring in her hand.

  However, after putting on the ring, Xia Lu only then felt the power of the ring and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "This is!? A high-quality magic equipment!?"

  "No way! I can't accept such a valuable equipment from you!", feeling the power of this exquisite magic ring, Xia Lu hastily took off the ring. Although she was reluctant to part with it, there was no other choice. The thing was too precious for Xia Lu to dare accept, after all, Lin Chen had used so many high-grade potions for her before, and Xia Lu already felt guilty about it.

  "It's just a fine piece of magical equipment, don't mind it so much," Lin Chen said with a wave of his hand, seemingly not putting the thing that would make most people in the world envious at heart. "Besides, in the Sunset Forest, increasing strength is equivalent to increasing one's chances of survival. With this ring, our safety factor will be higher, and your combat power is stronger than mine, so naturally I need to let you become even stronger."

  “……”, Hearing Lin Chen's words, thinking that he needs to strengthen his power, after all, this relates to the safety of two people's lives, so, hesitating for a moment, Xia Lu nodded and said: "Then I'll accept it, thank you".

  "Let's go, it's getting late...", Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction as Xia Lu put on the magic ring. The two continued to head deeper into the Sunset Forest, and any magical beasts that could be handled would charge over, while those that couldn't would detour around them. The two of them ventured deeper without any danger.

  After walking for a day, it wasn't until evening that Lin Chen and Xia Lu found a cave. After killing the three-stage magic beast Rock Bear inside, the two directly occupied the bear's den, took out some dried meat and other food, and roasted them in the setting sun forest. Roasting meat in the setting sun forest was a very dangerous thing to do, as the smell of meat would definitely attract many magic beasts. If they attracted a fifth-stage or higher magic beast, that would be big trouble.

  After eating, Lin Chen let Xia Lu sleep inside the cave while he himself slept at the entrance of the cave. When it was midnight, Lin Chen opened his eyes and made sure that Xia Lu had fallen into a deep sleep before taking out the materials from his package and starting to refine the medicine.

  It's okay, today I've collected a lot of materials, and when I crossed over, there were still some leftover materials in the package that can be used to refine some medicine.

  He spread out the skill panel, put down the materials in proportion, and after busy for dozens of minutes, a dozen or so bottles of various potions appeared before him. Lin Chen secretly shook his head, without relying on the Qiankun furnace, he could only refine legendary potions now, and even two of them were just epic grade.

  "With these medicines, it should be safer now?" Looking at the dozen or so bottles of medicine in front of him, most of which were legendary medicines, Lin Chen nodded to himself and put them all away. After refining these medicines, the materials in Lin Chen's package had been completely consumed.

  "I wish I could equip this sword one day...", Lin Chen couldn't help but gaze at the Seismic Chaos Sword emitting a seven-colored glow in his package space with some reluctance before exiting, muttering to himself.

  A divine-level weapon, its attributes made Lin Chen drool, and it was unlikely that he would have the opportunity to forge a divine-level weapon again in the future. However, the level requirement of this divine sword made Lin Chen stop in his tracks, at least for the time being.

  After refining the medicine, Lin Chen also fell asleep. The next day, the two woke up, washed and continued to venture deeper into the Sunset Forest until noon when they saw a small hill in the distance with several wooden houses on it, which should be the residence of the perfect-level pharmacist.

  "We're here...", looking at the house on the small hill not far away, Xia Lu said with a joyful expression, but Lin Chen secretly furrowed his brow. This pharmacist was a bit too arrogant, wasn't he? As a wanted man, even if he hid in the Sunset Forest, he shouldn't have built his house in such a conspicuous place on top of a small hill, should he?

  "Alright, let's take a look", although he was surprised in his heart, Lin Chen could only nod and say, since they had already walked this far, it was natural to go over and take a look. Besides, what business did it have with him where others lived?

  After walking up the mountain, Lin Chen and the other person finally got a clear look at the house. It was a bit simple and there were only a few small wooden houses. They looked around but didn't see any so-called medicinal herb garden, which furrowed Lin Chen's brow.

  "Who is it!?", just as Lin Chen and Xia Lu were approaching, a loud shout rang out, followed by a tall and majestic middle-aged man in his late 40s or early 50s, who rushed out with a large sword on his back, emitting an overwhelming aura.

  "Level 62", looking at the man's level, Lin Chen secretly felt a sense of heaviness. Such a high level was indeed the strongest he had seen since coming to this world. A great sword master? No wonder it was a master-level combat occupation, really very strong.
