Chapter 27: Back to Dangyang City
The moment the announcement was made, the entire game was in an uproar.
On the world channel...
“D*mn it! What did I hear? A divine artifact? What is that thing?”
“Are you selling the divine artifact? I’ll offer one million.”
“One million, you can only buy nothing. Don’t think about divine artifacts.”
“Six Guan Bodhisattva, what are the attributes of the divine artifact? Send it out for everyone to see.”
“Idiot, the ranking board has opened. You can see it there. There must be some info on it.”
“F*ck, are the attributes of a divine artifact so strong? Oh my God, a divine artifact is several times stronger than all the equipment on my body.”
Zhang Shan did not have time to care about the commotion outside.
Equipping the divine musket, he checked the weapon’s attributes.
Arug’s long-barrelled hand cannon (divine artifact): physical attack 1000-1000, agility +100, equipment level (sealed). Currently at level 10, the seal on the divine artifact and equipment will gradually unseal as the player’s level increases. It will be unsealed once every 10 levels. Durability: never wear and tear. Bound to the player Six Guan Bodhisattva, not to be dropped.
Special effect 1: strong attack, physical attack increased by 10%.
Special effect 2: hot-blooded, attack speed increased by 10%.
Special effect 3: Holy Strike. When attacking, there is a chance to trigger the holy strike effect. It ignores the target’s defense, causing 10 times the damage, 1% triggering probability. 2
Special effect 4: Suppression. It has a suppression effect on the target’s equipment below divine artifact level, reducing the target’s defense by 50%. 2
Seeing this attribute, Zhang Shan was overjoyed. This divine artifact was indeed extremely powerful.
The attack power and agility attribute added up to 1,100. It was simply despairing to others.
The special effect was also very powerful. It focused on explosive damage, increasing the attack and the attack speed by 10% each.
Holy Strike and Suppression. As long as one triggered it, it would instantly kill the opponent. The other would lower the opponent’s defense, which was also the same as increasing one’s own damage output.
It was very powerful. After equipping Arug’s hand cannon, Zhang Shan was truly invincible.
Zhang Shan was focusing on looking at the attributes of the divine artifact. He suddenly remembered that Master Lu was still at the side and he had not thanked him yet.
“Master Lu, thank you for helping me repair the divine artifact. With it, I will definitely wipe out more demons and contribute to the development of the human race.”
“Very good. Young people should have the drive. Oh yes, I have something here. It’s something I obtained by accident in the past. It just happens to be of help to you, so I’ll give it to you.”
Zhang Shan took the item that Master Lu gave him.
Hm? It seemed to be a special item.
Hand of Midas (spirit artifact): special item, increases attack speed by 50%, durability, never wears out, bound after equipping. 3
Special items were extremely rare. Anyway, Zhang Shan had never heard of anyone who had them, let alone spirit artifact. Legendary master was really generous. 2
This Hand of Midas was awesome. Although it only had one attribute, it was extremely strong. The attack speed would increase by 50%.
The Hunter’s attack speed had been high, and with the 10% increase from his weapon, his attack speed was now about once per second. His general attack was twice as fast as the Strength-type.
If someone hit him once, he could hit them twice. The scene was very beautiful just to imagine it.
“Thank you, Master.” Zhang Shan was sincerely grateful. Not only did Master Lu help him fix the divine artifact, he even gave him a spirit artifact. It was like buying one and getting one free. He was a good person.
“Alright, you can go back first. The repair of the divine artifact just now had a huge impact on me. I need to go back and meditate carefully.” After Master Lu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Zhang Shan equipped the Hand of Midas and checked his character’s attributes.

...
It was very strong, especially his attack power, reaching more than 1,400 points. The others did not even have a fraction of his attack power, it was simply extraordinary.
Other than the attack power directly from his weapon, the passive skill that Zhang Shan obtained through his talent, Bestowing Power, and the weapon’s special effects, also increased his attack power by 10% each. The effect was obvious.
Although the attack power of other players would slowly increase as their levels and equipment increased, and closed the gap between them and Zhang Shan, it would be impossible for them to surpass him in terms of pure attack power. It was likely that no one would be able to do so in a short period of time, unless someone else obtained a divine artifact as well.
The only thing was that his HP was a little low. Although he was equipped with a cape, it was only a level 10 white-tier equipment that only added 500 HP. Previously, he had thought that it was not bad, and he could make do with it.
Now, compared to his attack power, it was a little unbearable. It was a pity that the Blue Cape had been sold to Wind Chimes. If he had been equipped with the Blue Cape, then he would truly be invincible. Even if he were to be ambushed by several enemies at the same time, he did not have to be afraid.
However, as long as he did not fall on the spot, and when he came back to his senses, would he not be able to kill each with a single shot?
Of course, it was just a thought. If he did not sell the cape to Wind Chimes, he would not be able to come to East Capital, not to mention he had to buy materials.
Moreover, Zhang Shan was the first to obtain a divine artifact. He was also rewarded with 10 skill points and 1,000 merit points. It was totally worth it.
Thinking of the skill points, Zhang Shan first filled up his Taming. Previously, he felt that he did not want to increase it because, for the level 1 Taming, the pet’s HP and defense were already good enough. It was enough to help him tank monsters when he was farming and leveling up.
Now that he had switched from gun to cannon, he would naturally not go and farm anymore level 13 demonkin. He could now go and farm higher-level monsters. That way, he would level up faster. 3
After completing Taming, the pet’s attributes had increased by 100%. Dumpling’s HP was already close to 6,000. Its attack and defense had also doubled. It was a piece of cake to tank monsters, even a weaker boss.
...
After earning more than 1,000 merit points, he would automatically receive the rank of sergeant. He could go to the Civil Affairs Officer’s place to receive his salary every week. Although it was only one gold coin, a mosquito’s leg was still meat.
He had already gained a lot from his trip to East Capital. As there was nothing much for him to look around, he would return to the city.
After returning to the familiar Dangyang City, Zhang Shan realized that he had spent more than half a day on the trip to East Capital. The entire Dangyang City had undergone a huge change, and the number of players had increased explosively.
The players who had entered the game on the first day had basically left the novice village. There were tens of millions of people, and they were split into 21 cities. Each city had one to two million people.
No wonder it looked like there were players everywhere.
