Chapter 335: Chapter 203 The Broken Apollo’s Bow, Red Candle Sword Box, and Valkyrie’s Armor_2
"You must be anxious. The divine tools will be available in a few days. I will give them to you as soon as they arrive."
"Team leader, there’s another urgent matter."
"Go ahead."
"I have a few divine tools that are currently in dire need of spirituality. Is it possible to exchange them with the organization for resources?" Lin Xun manifested the last three ’Mist Barrier Monster’s Crystals’ into his hands.
"Have you been participating in the Wars of the Gods in the game?" Li Xingyue supported her forehead, and said, "Of course you can exchange resources, but I don’t recommend you exchange spirituality."
"Given your talent, divinity is much more important than spirituality. It’s a waste to exchange divinity for spirituality. How much spirituality are you short on?"
Lin Xun thought about it. He had about 500,000 units of spirituality left. If he could exchange it for 3,000,000, he would almost certainly be able to purchase the ’Wrecked Apollo’s Bow’.
When he reported this number, his female boss took the divinity. What she said next surprised him:
"I will send you the spirituality by the ’Book of Communication’ within an hour, if it is not enough, let me know... I will keep these three pieces of divinity for now. Once you have enough quantity, I will apply for a legendary grade divine tool for you."
Lin Xun widened his eyes. 3,000,000 units of spirituality, his boss simply handed it over...his so generous boss, he couldn’t help but think there must a hidden intention behind this.
Li Xingyue glanced at him: "What are you thinking about? Consider these spiritualities as a loan. When you have enough, pay me back...I can’t stand your extravagant behavior, exchanging divinity for spirituality."
"What if I can’t repay the loan..."
"Then you can keep working for me. " Li Xingyue curved her eyes and smiled intriguingly.
...
After this trip to the office, he lost three divine tools and was in debt of 3,000,000 units of spirituality.
Just looking at the results, he couldn’t figure out whether trading three divine tools for 3,000,000 units of spirituality was a gain or a loss.
But Lin Xun did not doubt Li Xingyue’s promise; once he accumulated enough, he could get another legendary divine tool.
According to his boss’s character, even if he fell short by two or three, she probably would still make up the difference for him.
"...What a shame not to marry such a good leader."
Lin Xun returned to his rented house.
T The ’Book of Communication’ in the game received new messages.
[Star Glass: Just received news, Amos successfully won the position of the Apostle, becoming the 11th Apostle of the New World. Be careful under his presence, and don’t reveal your information. Remember! Remember!]
Lin Xun stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Amos was his immediate boss, and his promotion would benefit his subordinates.
Unless there were unexpected circumstances, becoming Amos’s agent was a certainty.
Now that Amos had succeeded in becoming an Apostle, his jurisdiction would only increase. Maybe he would even have room for promotion and be able to benefit from managing extra cities...
The message also contained an attachment.
[World-Roaming Small Spirituality*3: Unclear spirituality roaming in the murky world can be used to obtain 1,000,000 units of spirituality.]
Lin Xun added the three million units of spirituality to his account, and quickly opened the trade channel.
’Wrecked Apollo’s Bow’ was still up for auction, and its transaction price had only risen by 10,000 since he saw it an hour ago.
Having enough money in his pocket, he wasn’t in a hurry, and he quietly waited for the auction time to pass...
By the time it was noon.
There was only an hour left in the auction, and the ’Wrecked Apollo’s Bow’s’ transaction price had risen to 3,120,000.
Each time someone bid, they only increased the price by the minimum increment, and it took a long time before someone else bid higher.
It was clear that not many Apostles were paying attention to this weapon, and he stood a great chance of winning it.
Lin Xun exited the bid-watching mode and pressed the bid-increasing button.
Increasing the price by 50,000 in one go, he raised the transaction price to 3,180,000.
Renewing the transaction time to an hour with his increased bid, Lin Xun quietly waited. After a long time of no further bidding by Apostles, it seemed that his increased bid had deterred other Apostles who were not very interested.
Until the auction time ran out, no further bids were placed by Apostles.
[Current item auction ends, you have successfully won this item as the last bidder!]
[You have acquired the ’Wrecked Apollo’s Bow’ (Legendary Weapon)!]
Lin Xun opened up his inventory, and the long-awaited legendary bow lay there.
"This is probably the most expensive thing I’ve ever bought so far."
He equipped the weapon on the Valkyrie.
[Your Watcher ’Combat Angel—Valkyrie’ has equipped the ’Shattered Apollo’s Bow’ (Legendary Grade Weapon)!]
[She has become even more powerful!]
The Valkyrie’s own ’Long Bow of Chanting Winds and Rhyming Moons+1’ became redundant equipment.
Lin Xun listed this enhanced epic grade equipment on the Book of Trade, and soon recovered 130,000 spirituality.
The amount of spirituality in his pouch remained substantial. He decided to spend the leftover savings on some powerful arrows for the Valkyrie, as well as using Forging Stones to further enhance the equipment.
Just as he was about to purchase a powerful arrow, a piece of special equipment caught his eye.
[Red Candle Sword Box (Special Equipment): An exquisitely beautiful scabbard made of redwood. It seems to only accommodate short swords, but people do not know the endless mysteries it contains.]
[With this equipment, you will unlock a sub-equipment slot allowing swift switch of equipment placed in the Sword Box. Current Sword Box slots 0/3]
[Spiritual Value: 250,000]
Though frequently switching equipment in this infernal game can be tedious, common Apostles seldom have such a plethora of weapons to switch.
Even Lin Xun, a wealthy player with multiple Shells, couldn’t afford to have two or three pieces of equipment for each Shell to switch.
Any extra weaponry would have been sold long ago to recover spirituality. Common Apostles are not worthy of spare weapons...
Even if there’s a need to switch weapons, it’s just a matter of moving fingers a little more, hardly deserves to waste precious spirituality on it.
"This is exclusive equipment for the whales..."
Lin Xun is not a whale, but he is a show-off.
Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to buy this piece of special equipment.
The ’Abyss Lamp’ and the longbow were not compatible with dual wielding. The Valkyrie did need a slot for her secondary weapon.
[You have obtained ’Red Candle Sword Box’ (Special Equipment)!]
The Red Candle Sword Box had three slots, each able to hold one piece of equipment.
Lin Xun kept trying and found that not only weapons and special items, but also armor could be placed inside...but items like props couldn’t.
He put the ’Abyss Lamp’ into the Sword Box and equipped the Valkyrie with new equipment again.
"Isn’t this more expensive than raising a wife?"
"The Valkyrie is fully armed now, shouldn’t the Three-headed Lion get some equipment too?"
"No, the Three-headed Lion can’t use equipment... It’s not that I don’t want to buy them for you, it’s just that you can’t use them."
As Lin Xun was talking to himself, unbeknown to him, the Three-headed Lion in a corner was going crazy with confusion.
At this time, there was still more than 200,000 spirituality left in his item slots.
An epic grade armor caught his eye next.
[Valkyrie’s Armor (Epic Grade Armor): Made of pure gold, this armor is made indestructible by several spells cast on it. It is the legacy of a female warrior who once swept through the battlefield. Decorated with feathers and designed like bird wings, parts of the armor were hollowed out, making it exceptionally lightweight.]
[Once you wear this armor, your Shell’s speed will greatly increase.]
[Spiritual Value: 90,000]
"...It’s so cheap, it would be a crime not to buy it!"
Lin Xun earned spiritual value quickly, and he spent it just as fast.
As he kept on buying in the Book of Trade, soon his spirituality ran very low.
The Valkyrie received another powerful arrow. The remaining tens of thousands of spirituality were all spent on Forging Stones and enhancing equipment.
’Rebirth Scales of the Dragon Knigh’, was enhanced to +4 and its special effect, healing ability, was amplified.
The most surprising part for Lin Xun was the ’Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’. It didn’t have a special effect, but it had the awakening effect of ’Spirituality of the Giant Beast Chieftain’.
The enhancement of +4 caused the double critical hit to turn into a 2.5 times critical hit damage.
The rest of the equipment lacked special effects or awakening, and the enhancement improvement wasn’t significant. Lin Xun only upgraded them to +2 and then stopped.
These epic-grade pieces of equipment could be enhanced by blacksmiths, with only the cost of buying Forging Stones.
However, ’Chain Blade—Call of the Underworld’ and ’Shattered Apollo’s Bow’ had surpassed epic grade, hence weren’t within the blacksmith’s line of business.
To enhance these two new pieces of equipment, he inevitably had to give a part of his spirituality to the infernal game.
