MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Li Yao stepped out of the Royal District, and then gave the Banshee guarding the gate some small art pieces that could only be purchased in the High Elf Kingdom, causing her fondness for Li Yao to increase dramatically.

In life, the Banshee was also a High Elf, and although she has now become a Banshee of the Undead, she always considers the High Elves as her homeland.

However, when the High Elf Capital was slaughtered, she was left home and country-less – she didn’t dare to look back at the tragic scene. Receiving a gift from her homeland naturally made her very happy.

As a high-ranking female officer serving the queen, she, for the first time, personally escorted Li Yao out of the Royal District.

Li Yao waved goodbye to the Banshee, smiling. Fondness could not only be gained from doing tasks, those little art pieces, although worth only a few Gold Coins, could win favor with the queen’s female officers, making the cost worthwhile.

The advantage of being reborn is often not something appreciable by ordinary or even elite players. It is only when specific situations arise that its depths can be revealed. Of course, no one is currently rich enough to spend a few gold coins on such intangible benefits.

Li Yao found a secluded spot, unable to resist opening his bag.

Inheritance Crystal: Allows complete succession of a Dark Ranger’s legacy.

Note: The Inheritance Crystal personally conferred by the Dark Queen, only favored successors are given the right to use, violating this could result in a terrifying curse.

Designated User: Prairie Fire.

Li Yao shook his head, then directly input a trace of Magic Power. An icy, eerie chill rapidly spread throughout his body.

Li Yao immediately felt his body’s agility increase substantially. Attributes being secondary, agility was what he cared about the most. As long as he was agile enough, he could bring to bear more of his strength and tactics from his past life.

Li Yao looked at his status, which had now changed.

Prairie Fire (Elite Three-Star)

As an Elite, each star increases attribute bonuses by 15%. Due to his Creator’s Equipment, Li Yao’s rank was instantly upgraded to three stars.

Li Yao’s health, which was just about to hit one thousand, suddenly increased significantly, going straight to around one thousand five.

Of course, his enhancement was all-encompassing, covering attack power, armor, resistance, and so on.

This is a permanent attribute blessing. The greater the attribute and equipment upgrades, the greater the bonus effects. Not all elite players have the same attributes.

It also acted as a kind of curse. From now on, gaining experience and loot from low-level monsters was basically impossible. When accepting missions, only difficult tasks were available.

As for star ratings, under normal circumstances they have to be earned by completing missions. Only those who have reached three stars are eligible to accept Silver Hero missions.

Li Yao reviewed his attributes in detail and was very satisfied. After wrestling tirelessly, he has finally become a true Dark Ranger.

Li Yao was just a tad disappointed to not have obtained any new elite skills. He guessed that the queen had asked him to return once he hit level fifteen, probably for a skills mission.

Then, Li Yao took out another little gizmo.

Touch of Darkness 1/3

Grade: Epic Purple

Slot: Dual Hand Special Equipment

Agility: 15

Arm Agility: 25

Provides a 1% life leech effect on attacks.

Lifespan Siphon, absorbs 25% of the target’s health to heal oneself, with a 5-minute cooldown.

Life Deprivation, in a non-combat state, can absorb life energy from any living entity to heal oneself.

Equipment Level: 10

Restricted to Dark Ranger

Soul Bound: Prairie Fire

When Li Yao saw the Touch of Darkness meld directly into his hands, his agility increased slightly.

Li Yao grasped his Long Bow; it seemed extensions of dark fog in the shape of tentacles radiated from his hands, wrapping around the Long Bow. He tried drawing the bow and found his hand was more stable, his dexterity increased, contributing to stability and accuracy as well.

This is a special mechanism of the ancient gods. Some things cannot be reflected solely through attributes but require personal comprehension and pondering.

As for the 1% life leech, Li Yao’s standard interpretation or others’, might not see it as very useful.

At this stage, a high-level attack is generally four or five hundred; sucking four or five life points per attack seems negligible, but discarding the skill just as pointless.

But Li Yao was different. His high attack power, coupled with his three Arrow Towers and Fire Hawk, when combined, could bring his 1% life leech effect to a terrifying level.

The Lifespan Siphon was originally a Magician’s skill. It was a life-saving skill, no explanation needed.

As for Life Deprivation, Li Yao always felt there was some other use for it but at the moment, it only seemed to save him some bread.

And this wasn’t even a complete piece of equipment. However, Li Yao had no memory of this gear and neither any clues about it.

Overall, after a period of slow and steady development, Li Yao’s strength has finally experienced explosive growth for the first time.

“Boss, hey hey, you’re gone.” Candy called Li Yao.

“What’s up?” Li Yao answered helplessly, this employee was diligent, and had talent, only her mind was a bit slow.

“The Exploding Sheep you asked me to make, I’ve made enough.” The girl joyfully said.

“Hmm, very good, keep it up. And don’t report every time, just send them to me via mail when they’re done,” Li Yao responded.

“Okay, thank you, boss. I’ll be working hard,” Candy excitedly ended the call.

Li Yao shook his head, went to the warehouse, took out some Shining Fruit, and then ran to the auction house.

He was now flat broke and planned to sell a little depending on the situation.

“Lei, what’s happening on your side?” Li Yao connected to Zhao Lei’s communication channel.

“Big Fire, you wouldn’t know. The auction house ran out of Shining Fruit. There are announcements everywhere wanting to buy Shining Fruit. But despite the high demand, there’s simply no supply. Have the players lost their minds?!” Zhao Lei excitedly said, “If it wasn’t for you telling me to wait, I wouldn’t be able to resist selling!”

The situation was not at all surprising to Li Yao. Under normal circumstances and according to his knowledge, the daily output of Shining Fruit from the Dark Camp was only over a hundred sets.

The output from the Light Faction and Neutral Faction was similar. In reality, the actual daily output of Shining Fruit was not above five hundred sets.

The demand for Shining Fruit was astronomical. Even with this huge demand none of the players saw the issue. Having purchased a majority of the Shining Fruit available since the start of the game, Li Yao had almost all of the Shining Fruit from all three factions at dirt-cheap prices.

A group only needs pioneer one master level copy, which requires dozens of them. A set could only be used four or five times. Of course, right now the players hadn’t reached that far, hence their consumption wasn’t that high either.

But the number of players from all three camps had already exceeded 1.5 billion. Even if all the new additions were later joiners, that’s a conservative estimate of a hundred million level ten players.

Among these players, no one knew how many teams were fighting for the master levels after seeing the rewards Li Yao and his team got from pioneering the master levels.

It was evident how massive the shortage of Shining Fruit was.

“You can start selling a little bit now, don’t sell too much. One set at a time, post only ten sets, and first test out the market,” Li Yao said.

Zhao Lei immediately grew excited and said, “Then how much per set, 50 Silver per set?”

Li Yao immediately yelled, “Did you go mad? 50 Silver a set?”

“Ahem, isn’t it a bit of a rip-off? But right now there are people shouting 40 Silver a set, I think 50 Silver could be sold too…”

“You prodigal son, 50 Silver, I’d rather throw it in the sea than sell. Brother, could you have a dream a little bit? 50 Silver a set, why would I bother with that? Go ahead, 3 Gold a set, take it or leave it,” Li Yao interrupted Zhao Lei.

Ah, a mouth full of blood spattered out from Zhao Lei. Big brother, you bought them at 3 Silver a set, ok…?
