"First of all, let's talk about that guy's condition." Duan Qing shook his head and said: "Judging from his performance last night, that man's condition is a bit... not normal."
"……How to say?"
"You are a new sword player, and you are also a player with extremely strong sensitivity. If nothing happens, if you maintain this state until the end of the game, there will be only a handful of enemies who can defeat you." Duan Qing analyzed slowly: "But... the guy last night, his energy and energy were very abnormal."
"Abnormal? But he performed very well."
"It's not so much good, but...his performance was a little too good."
Withdrawing his wagging fingers from the woman's eyes, Duan Qing's voice gradually became lower: "Maintaining a high level of mental concentration for a long time... There are not many such people, but according to my previous understanding of that beautiful girl, He probably doesn’t have such near-god-level spiritual strength.”
"Judging from last night's game, his moves and withdrawals, the transition between attack and defense, and the timing of parries and counterattacks...are almost all appropriate. Without video, I can't give a detailed analysis. He did it, but in such a perfect state, even the former... former Sky-Breaking Blade could not achieve it." Duan Qing said hesitantly: "If this is his true level, then your loss is not unfair at all. , but if it’s the possibility I guessed…”
"What's possible?"
"...No, it's nothing."
After thinking for a while, Duan Qing gave up his thoughts: "After all, there is no evidence, so I'd better not say anything casually. You only need to know that the other person's mental state is much better than yours. It's enough." Explanation...I can’t say it now.”
"Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. But..." The woman under the cloak looked at the other party quietly for a while, then nodded hesitantly: "I can feel the strength of the opponent. "
"Then let's talk about equipment." Duan Qing straightened his hair: "About this aspect... there are still many things worth mentioning."
"...Has there been any change in his weapons and equipment?"
"Of course, and it changes a lot."
Duan Qing raised his head and recalled: "This idea has appeared since I watched that game. Except for some special methods, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to increase his attribute values too much in a short period of time. If you want to achieve this effect, apart from working hard to level up, the only other way is to arm yourself with a lot of good equipment. In the current free world, the full level is still level 50, so you can improve yourself by adding points. method, there probably won’t be much room, so I asked... Well, someone named Flowing Flowers checked for me privately, and found out the equipment used by Liangchen Meiyu in the game that night. .”
He showed a different look: "Guess what I found?"
"……What?"
"Good things, all of them are good things." Duan Qing stroked his palms and praised: "Even a guy like me would covet a large set of epic equipment."
"..."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Don't be sad. This can also be regarded as someone's ability."
Duan Qing patted the woman on the shoulder: "With money and ability, anyone can afford a large set of equipment that suits them, and then transform themselves from an ordinary player into a master in another form. St. James was like that before, and I believe you have experienced it, so this failure, to a certain extent... can be regarded as repaying a debt."
"Without good equipment, no matter how good a player is, it will be difficult for him to achieve results." Duan Qing concluded: "This is part of the foundation."
"...Okay." The woman frowned and nodded: "What does he have?"
"Epic-quality armor has average attributes and only one effect, but the immunity to frost and fire attribute damage written on it is enough to kill half of your life." Duan Qing shook his hand and at the same time He turned his attention to several members of Red Soul who were patrolling below again: "Epic quality shoes, increase movement speed, and can be charged. That's how the disappearing steps you encountered at the beginning appeared."
"You mean... that initial slash was not the effect of his weapon?"
"I've never heard of any company that has the effect of teleporting behind the enemy with its draw sword?" Duan Qing said with a smile, "Isn't this a little too unscientific?"
"..."
"However, his weapon is worth talking about." Without giving the other party time to think, Duan Qing immediately changed the subject: "His weapon... seems to be called Colorful Rainbow, right? Every time he attacks, he can give The enemy attaches a negative effect. In addition to the duration being six seconds, the probability and type of the negative effect are also random..."
"What?"
Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes lit up in the bushes, and he reached out and grabbed Duan Qing's arm: "So... is this the effect of his weapon?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, if it attracts you... Oh, forget it."
Helplessly putting down the hand covering his forehead, Duan Qing took the lead in jumping out of the bushes surrounded by musk oxen, and before the players under the mound noticed him, he struck them with the sword shadow in his hand. on the head. A small battle broke out immediately at a buffalo herd habitat near the Battle of Tania Station. After hearing the sound, the Red Soul boss codenamed Aqiang who rushed there found only a few discarded corpses and four corpses lying around. Except for the running Talga musk ox, the rest achieved no results.
As a result, the new search range was expanded further, until it collided with the empire's fringe troops.
"Okay, it should be safe now."
Looking at several members of the Red Soul who were fighting with the Imperials in the distance, Duan Qing retracted his gaze, and then, with the cloaked woman's rather embarrassed expression, he slowly sat down on one of the large trees with leafy branches. At the root of the tree: "What did I just say... Oh, right, that guy's equipment, right? Don't be surprised, I haven't finished talking yet."
"He also has a ring called Jialanka's Cunning." Duan Qing's voice became deeper: "The effect is... every time the target of the attack has a negative status, the wearer's attack power will be temporarily increased by 10 .”
Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes condensed.
"Based on the results of last night's game and your personal experience, the negative states that this guy can produce include poison, bleeding, wind erosion, burning, frost, and petrification. The trigger probability is based on my statistics. Decreasing in sequence, but compared to the negative states that have appeared in the free world, the number he has triggered is much smaller." Duan Qing said slowly: "So... if you are lucky, he alone can trigger it now The effect is that his attack bonus can reach a very terrifying 60 or even higher, so it is understandable that there has been a scene where people and rocks were smashed together."
"At that time... I had three states attached to me." Xue Ling Huan Bing recalled: "But even if it was only 30, his attack power was enough to crack mountains and crack rocks."
"Although I don't know how he got this epic equipment together, I have to say... these things have greatly improved him." Duan Qing sighed and said, "So to a certain extent, your The defeat is not entirely your fault."
"...It's impossible for him to get so much equipment by himself." Xueling Huanbing's eyes gradually became serious: "Could it be...that our guild is secretly supporting us behind the scenes?" Are you following him?"
"People of your level don't even know about your guild's affairs?" Duan Qing looked at the other party in surprise: "How many things did he get before the war, and what preparations did you get... These should all be on the table. Right?"
"..."
"Hey, it seems your guild is a strange guild."
Looking at the silent and gloomy face of the other party, Duan Qing sighed with enlightenment: "We are also members who have the hope of advancing to the semi-finals, but the difference in treatment is so big... Well, of course, this may also be caused by him outside. Something like a mysterious organization or something like that..."
"...I know you are comforting me. I'm fine." Xue Ling Huan Bing twitched her lips: "This is not the first time this has happened. I'm used to it."
"No, no, this is indeed possible." Duan Qing's voice suddenly became louder and louder, and there was a strange light in his eyes: "Think about the previous match between Duan Shanhe and Luo Ri Gu Yan, Luo Ri Gu Yan That necklace of cigarettes, in the information you collected before this... there must be no such necklace, right?"
"...Speaking of which, it seems that I have never seen that necklace before." Xue Ling Huan Bing's silent eyes finally showed a trace of fluctuation: "Where did he get it from?"
"Even if the players have the support of the guild and can get help from resources, without so much equipment for them, they are helpless." Duan Qing analyzed doubtfully: "Those of us who have been to the Emerald Tower, People who have climbed Falling Star Mountain and finally spent some time in the battlefield dungeon have not seen many epic-quality weapons and equipment, let alone ordinary players and ordinary guilds. There are so few tasks and opportunities to obtain them. It is even rarer to want their effects to be coordinated. How did your family achieve the transformation of the whole body of Liangchen Meiyu? Have you Wings of Freedom really reached the level of ruling the free world? "
"... When he gave me this frost sword before, I really didn't see any regret on his expression." Xue Ling Huan Bing looked at the long sword at his waist: "It seems... he There are indeed some ways to easily obtain high-level equipment.”
"Mysterious businessman? Black market? And what kind of royal museum in your empire?" Duan Qing said thoughtfully: "Have you ever been to that place?"
"There are indeed many good things in there, but they are all prohibited from being bought and sold." Xueling Huanbing replied: "Because they are items used by outstanding figures in the empire in the past, their value is far higher than what we players think. Even if it is for the so-called glory, the royal family of the empire will not sell them. We don’t know how he took out the hammer last night, Saint James, but last night The things used by Liangchen Meiyu should not be in the collection of that museum."
"Those things have been coveted by players for a long time, and many people have also made some complete introductions and explanations online." Looking at Duan Qing's eyes, the woman slowly explained: "Unless they have privately hidden equipment. , otherwise I should be able to recognize it."
"Is it a businessman who resells equipment?" Duan Qing thought for a while, and then shouted again: "The same guys we often encountered during the qualifiers who sold equipment to us?"
"Is it...them?" Xue Ling Huan Bing asked dubiously.
"Those people should be organized, otherwise how could they get so many goods?" Duan Qing continued: "Now that we have reached the finals, rich professional players have grabbed a lot of them. For them... It should also be a great opportunity, right?”
"...I have never heard of any organization like this, at least no one has come to me to promote it." Xueling Huanbing slowly shook his head: "And...even if such an organization does exist, they How did you get so much epic-quality equipment?”
"Well..."
The summer wind blew past the two people, bringing the lush leaves mixed with the distant sounds of fighting into the sky in front of the two people. The man who looked up at the flying leaves was silent for a while, and then restarted himself after a while. The voice that paused before said: "Probably...in the city of Tania."
"……What?"
"I don't know if you have heard of the word melting pot before when you were in Tania." Duan Qing said slowly: "I have heard of this thing in the underground black market, those underground power organizations, and even the Cabin Castle , they used to make a living from that thing, and they collected equipment that others didn’t need… in exchange for more useful things.”
"That furnace seems to have such a function." Duan Qing said: "It... is probably the source of these equipment."
"...What does that furnace look like?" Xue Ling Huan Bing suddenly asked in a low voice.
"How do I know? Since we were kicked out of the principality for investigating the sewers, we have rarely had the opportunity to get close to the underground center." Duan Qing replied: "And even Queen Maggie, who has the best relationship with us now , and they don’t seem to want to take us there to have a look, and coupled with the current guarding by the city guard..."
"……is that so."
The woman sighed slightly, but her eyes became more and more serious: "Maybe... I should go and take a look."
"Why, what clues did you think of?" Duan Qing's eyes lit up, and then gradually dimmed: "But...you still have a game tonight, so you probably don't have much time to investigate."
"Are you referring to the semi-finals of the team competition?"
"Yes." Duan Qing replied: "There are also two semi-finals of the individual competition, which should be scheduled for tonight. In order to keep up with the progress, the alliance...has ignored everything."
"...Will you still come to explain?" Looking at the battlefield still smoking in the distance, Xue Ling Huan Bing murmured.
"Of course." Duan Qing replied with a smile: "Because..."
"If I go back now, I'll probably suffer a lot."
