First, let's look at two pieces of golden equipment...
[ Tiger Head Greatsword ] Gold Tier: Physical Attack +800, Ignore Defense +20%, Additional Attributes: Strength +35, Constitution +35, Vitality +35, Additional Skill: Damage Amplification: Increases attack damage by 30% for 20 seconds, cooldown time of 2 minutes, Wear Requirement: Warrior.
[ Tiger Roar Bracelet ] Gold Tier: Physical Attack +350, Attack Speed +30%, Ignore Defense +10%, Additional Attributes: Strength +35, Agility +35, Constitution +35, Additional Skill: Attack Speed Boost: Increases attack speed by 30% for 20 seconds, cooldown time of 2 minutes, Wear Requirement: Physical class profession.
Looking at this Tiger Head Greatsword, Wu Shaochen was amazed. This weapon perfectly embodies the concept of damage. Wu Shaochen was reluctant to sell it. Why isn't this equipment for assassins? If a warrior were to wield it, their damage would skyrocket. If sold, it would likely set a new price record.
Fortunately, one of the two golden equipment pieces can be used by Wu Shaochen. Of the four silver equipment pieces, one is for personal use, two are for Wu Ziyin, and the remaining one can only be put up for auction.
[ Tiger Skin Leggings ] Silver Tier: HP +800, Physical Defense +60, Magic Defense +60, HP Recovery increased by 10%, Additional Attributes: Constitution +34, Vitality +33, Strength +34, Wear Requirement: Physical class profession.
[ Tiger Bone Necklace ] Silver Tier: Magic Attack +300, MP +300, Cooldown Reduction +10%, Luck +5, Additional Attributes: Intelligence +33, Spirit +34, Constitution +32, Wear Requirement: Mage, Priest.
[ Tiger Skin Belt ] Silver Tier: HP +900, Physical Defense +55, Magic Defense +55, Control Time Reduction -10%, Additional Attributes: Constitution +34, Vitality +33, Spirit +34, Wear Requirement: All professions.
Wu Shaochen can use the leggings, but with the Blood Bull Belt, they wouldn't be interested in the belt. Fortunately, Wu Ziyin can use it. The remaining Tiger Skin Armor is for Shield Guards and Warriors, neither of whom can use it. There are also two bronze equipment pieces that Wu Ziyin can use, so they were given to her, and the rest were sold.
The three bronze equipment pieces were put up for auction at 100,000 each. These are level 30 equipment with attributes almost catching up to level 20 silver equipment. There will surely be people interested in them. The bidding time for the silver armor was set to 30 minutes, as the bidding mode in the newbie village is 10 minutes and in the main city it's 30 minutes, the longest time before incurring additional fees. The Tiger Head Greatsword was put on hold for now, as putting it up for auction together with the silver equipment last time resulted in not being able to sell the silver equipment at a good price.
After checking the remaining items one by one, first was the potion. Unfortunately, it wasn't the unsealing potion Wu Shaochen was hoping for, but rather a [ Damage Potion ] that increases damage by 50% for 10 minutes. It's great for others, but not necessary for Wu Shaochen, as it doesn't increase poison damage. However, what pleasantly surprised Wu Shaochen was the scroll.
[ Skill Scroll ]: Enhances the quality of a designated skill, each skill can be enhanced up to three times.
"Skill quality?" Wu Shaochen was a bit puzzled. "Do skills in this game have different qualities? They all seem the same, don't they?" However, he quickly remembered the Skeleton Assassin he encountered before. Both of them used backstab, but the Skeleton Assassin's backstab was stronger.
"Could this be what they call different skill qualities?" Wu Shaochen wondered. However, he didn't know where to check the skill quality. The only skill he had encountered that was different was Immortal Body because it was golden, while the other skill books were all the same color.
"Only one way to find out." Wu Shaochen thought for a moment and then selected Immortal Body to use the scroll.
"Ding, the current skill quality has reached its maximum level and cannot be used."
Wu Shaochen expected this outcome because the other skills didn't have any color, only Immortal Body did. He was just testing his theory.
Apart from Immortal Body, Wu Shaochen's strongest skill was Void. He chose Void and used the scroll again.
"Ding, successful usage, skill [Void] quality enhanced."
Wu Shaochen quickly checked, the skill still didn't have any color, but the skill effect had improved.
[ Void ]: Clears all negative effects on oneself, entering a state of void where one cannot be targeted for 1.5 seconds, consumes 150 MP, cooldown time: 4 minutes.
The duration increased, cooldown time decreased, and it consumed an additional 50 MP. Overall, it was a significant improvement, and Wu Shaochen was quite satisfied.
Continuing to check the backpack, there was a Strength Fruit, which, when consumed, could increase Strength by 10 points. It was optional for Wu Shaochen, but he still ate it. He didn't need to sell it since he wasn't lacking money, and it was always good to have more of these attribute-boosting fruits.
There was one gem and one crystal left. The gem was used for socketing into weapons to increase Strength by 100 points, requiring the weapon shop owner to open an empty socket. As for the crystal, Wu Shaochen couldn't understand its purpose.
[ Damaged Source Crystal ]: Unknown item.
"This thing seems extraordinary if even the system can't identify it." Wu Shaochen thought to himself and put it back into the backpack. He had checked all the items and was quite satisfied. The next step was to bring those sealers over and open the seal passage.
When Wu Shaochen returned, these sealers were actually discussing whether or not to go back to Liu Family Village. It made Wu Shaochen so angry that he almost poisoned one of them twice. In the end, under Wu Shaochen's firm attitude, they obediently followed him to the seal location.
When they saw the massive corpse of the Tiger King lying on the ground, they finally became completely obedient, especially the one who jumped the most recklessly before. He didn't dare to say a word, fearing that Wu Shaochen would settle the score with him later.
Leading these people to the depths of the cave, when they saw the sealing array, these sealers, who were initially worthless in Wu Shaochen's eyes, suddenly became serious. They each took out the prepared materials and started working.
"It looks somewhat legit." Wu Shaochen commented and then turned around to leave. After all, he couldn't understand it, and staying here wouldn't be of any help.
And just as Wu Shaochen turned around, he suddenly felt like something was staring at him. He quickly turned back but didn't find anything.
"Is it an illusion?" Wu Shaochen thought to himself, then chuckled self-deprecatingly. Why was he becoming so suspicious?
While waiting outside, the system notified him that the "Tiger Skin Armor" had been auctioned off for 280,000. It set a new record for silver equipment, but that was expected since level 30 silver equipment had powerful attributes.
Wu Shaochen waited outside for more than ten minutes before a group of seal masters came out, dragging their exhausted bodies.
"How did it go? Was the sealing successful?" Wu Shaochen asked.
"It should be fine. There shouldn't be any problems," the leading seal master replied.
"Should be?" Wu Shaochen furrowed his brows and thought to himself, "You're telling me 'should be' for such an important matter?" He felt extremely unhappy, but then realized it wasn't his concern as long as the mission was completed. Whether or not they successfully sealed it was none of his business.
"Let's go then!" Wu Shaochen said, taking out a teleportation scroll and preparing to use it. However, the elderly leader said, "But we still need Young Hero to escort us back to Jinling City!"
"Don't you know the way back yourselves? You have so many soldiers protecting you, what are you afraid of?" Wu Shaochen replied irritably, then used the teleportation scroll without hesitation.
"Ding, the mission is in progress. The teleportation scroll cannot be used."
"Damn it, how many times is this now? Are they still trying to make money off teleportation scrolls?" Even though he had encountered this situation many times before, Wu Shaochen was still indignant.
He turned around and handed the teleportation scroll to Wu Ziyin, saying, "Ziyin, you try using the teleportation scroll."
"Okay." Wu Ziyin obediently took it and successfully teleported back to the city, much to Wu Shaochen's dissatisfaction.
"Main system, are you trying to target me because I'm fast?" Wu Shaochen complained. He could only helplessly accompany the seal masters back to Jinling City at a slow pace. What made him even more infuriated was that these seal masters were slower than turtles. It took them a full hour and a half to return to Jinling City.
