Chapter 48 - Pale Gold Equipment

...

  "Merger success, Cowhead Monster Equipment Chest quality increased, current quality: Purple!"

  He was left with only one more. Yi Qiu didn't hesitate and chose to merge.

  "Merger success, Cowhead Monster Equipment Chest quality increased, current quality is: Pale Gold!"

  A pale golden glow seeped out from his inventory. It wasn't eye-catching, but it gave off a majestic feeling.

  Yi Qiu touched his bald head. 6 Blue quality chests merged to form a single Pale Gold one. It seemed like one Cowhead Monster Playground would at most give out one Pale Gold quality Cowhead Monster Chest.

  Cowhead Monster Equipment Chest (Pale Gold):

  Quality: Pale Gold

  Type: Chest

  Chest Level: 5

  Chest Keyword: Cowhead Monster, Equipment

  Description: Opening this chest will give one a Pale Gold quality Level 5 equipment. This chest has risen to its highest quality and one will be unable to use the same name chests to raise it.

  Yi Qiu touched his bald head. As he had spent 10 days in the secret dungeon, the treasure offering cooldown was over.

  Yi Qiu opened his inventory and took out the Brass Knuckle Duster he had set aside for a long time.

  Brass Knuckle Duster:

  Origin: Azeroth

  Item level: 1

  Quality: White

  Durability: 25/35

  Attack: 1-5

  Attack type: Pierce

  Weight: 0.5kg

  Description: A knuckle duster made from brass. Due to poor maintenance, it has started to rust.

  Yi Qiu didn't have much need for knuckle dusters as they would change his attacks to piercing attacks.

  If the weapon's attack wasn't strong enough, the piercing attack would be weak against heavy armor.

  Yi Qiu didn't like to wear those random things on his hand as it affected his feeling.

  "Will you give the Brass Knuckle Duster as an offering?"

  "Yes!"

  A pale flame rose up from the Brass Knuckle Duster. Yi Qiu didn't throw it on the ground and just held it in his hands. He wanted to sense it at close proximity.

  There was no temperature. If he didn't feel that the Brass Knuckle Duster was becoming lighter and the flames were growing larger, Yi Qiu wouldn't be able to sense that this grey flame even existed.

  Finally, the Brass Knuckle Duster turned into a ball of grey flames.

  Yi Qiu clenched his left hand and a magical tremor spread out. Yi Qiu could sense that an indescribable thing was being summoned...

  "Ritual completed, you have obtained 10 minutes of luck buff (+3)."

  As expected, since the quality was low, the effect was much weaker too.

  Although the Brass Knuckle Duster quality was low, it was an item with stats and was recognized by the Integrated Network.

  14 Luck was barely enough. Yi Qiu first took out the Dragon Bloodline Dog-Head Man bloodline material. He had 3,240 coins. He only earned 500 from the entrance fee and 25 were taken as a service fee.

  Bloodline Material - Dragon Bloodline Dog-head Man:

  Quality: Blue

  Origin: Cthuma's Cave

  Keywords: Flame, Dragon Bloodline (Red Dragon)

  Bloodline Property: Fire (Blue), Strength (Blue), Stamina (Green)

  Bloodline Level: 5

  "Will you merge with bloodline material - Dragon Bloodline Dog-Head Man? Merging with this bloodline material will consume 1,340 coins."

  "Yes!"

  "Consumed 1,340 Integrated Network coins, bloodline merger will begin..."

  Yi Qiu could sense an aura surging into his body, but the Cow Head mark on his forehead seemed to reject it. In the end, the head disappeared.

  "Bloodline merger success. However, Bloodline Model did not accept it, Fire Breathing ability has failed."

  A red, blinding notification appeared on his retina screen. 

  Before Yi Qiu went to check why it would reject the Fire Breathing ability, his heart suddenly constricted, causing him to grab his chest and fall to the ground. His muscles were overwhelmed by a tearing pain...

  The high speed growth of strength didn't feel good, and the intense pain caused green veins to appear on his head!

  Sweat flowed profusely. The clothes that Yi Qiu just changed were now soaked...

  That intense pain came and went quickly. After it totally disappeared, a line of green words appeared on his retina screen:

  "Bloodline merger success, character strength increased."

  "Your Strength has risen to 14."

  "Bloodline merger completed."

  "Hu."

  Yi Qiu exhaled a deep breath. Even after having been through it many times, this intense pain was something he couldn't bear with.

  However, this pain made him feel real. He enjoyed this reality.

  As he was used to the 16 Strength after opening the Gate of Opening, thus he was still able to control the 14 Strength.

  Compared to the surging power after opening Gate of Opening, this feeling that came from his body felt purer.

  Yi Qiu touched his sweaty muscles through his soaking clothes. They weren't swelling and weren't as exaggerated as those bodybuilders, but he was able to sense the strength hidden within.

  The increase in strength would result in an increase in size. Yi Qiu felt that his clothes were a little smaller and they were much tighter.

  He looked at a mirror, and he felt like he had grown taller. He was roughly 1.7 meters now.

  He tossed his wet clothing to the side, wiping his sweat and continuing to use the Integrated Network interface.

  As the offering had only 10 minutes of buff, he took out the Hell Cowhead King Bloodline Material he just exchanged for.

  Bloodline Material - Hell Cowhead Monster King:

  Quality: Purple

  Origin: Cowhead Monster Playground

  Keyword: Stamina, Recovery, Durability

  Bloodline Property: Stamina (Purple), Quick Recovery (Purple)

  Bloodline Level: 5

  "Will you merge with bloodline material - Hell Cowhead Monster King? Merging Bloodline Material will consume 2,780 coins. "

  Yi Qiu frowned. He had only 1,900 coins left but he roughly understood the bloodline merger system.

  It would be double the previous cost, sometimes more, but not more than 3 times.

  As he had not enough, Yi Qiu gave up on merging with it. He was now left with his biggest reward from Cowhead Monster Playground - Cowhead Monster Equipment Chest (Pale Gold) which he hadn't opened.

  "Will you open Cowhead Monster Equipment Chest (Pale Gold)?"

  "Yes!"

  A pale gold light flashed. The Cowhead Monster Chest in his inventory disappeared and what replaced it looked like a glove.

  Cyborg Cowhead Monster King's Brassart

  Item Level: 5

  Quality: Pale Gold

  Type: Brassart

  Attack: 15-20

  Attack type: Pure

  Weight: 2.9kg

  Special effect:

  Cyborg Cowhead Monster King's rage: After being activated, the soul of the Cyborg Cowhead Monster King in the brassart will go berserk. Attacks will obtain a 40% buff and after a successful hit, the soul will rest for a moment (100 seconds), activating the effect will cause added consumption of durability.

  Cyborg Cowhead Monster King's soul strike: Each attack will have a 5% chance of activating the soul of the Cyborg Cowhead Monster King to deal a soul strike. If the enemy is unable to evade it (Soul evasion based on character level), they will be stunned (Stun duration based on physique, longest time is 3 seconds), and activating the effect will cause added consumption of durability.
