Chapter 541 Viper Dagger (Seeking Recommendations! Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Nie Yan felt a little depressed. His luck didn't seem too good today, but he decided to continue. Now that he was here, he might as well hand in all thirty-six song score fragments.
When he handed over the seventeenth song score fragment, a crisp system notification sounded, and he leveled up, reaching level seventy-three.
When he handed over the eighteenth song score fragment, it was still an experience reward.
It was too difficult to obtain legendary items or a flying mount. After all, the probability of getting either was only 2%.
Again and again, the results always disappointed Nie Yan and Tang Yao.
"I think we should just call it quits. Getting anything at all is enough, let's not expect too much," Tang Yao said, feeling a bit down.
After four consecutive disappointments, Nie Yan realized how difficult it had been for Po Tian to obtain a sub-legendary piece of equipment in his past life.
On the fifth try, Nie Yan casually spun the Wheel of Destiny, and the final pointer landed squarely on the Special Item section.
With a ding, an item fell into Nie Yan's bag. Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat as he checked the item's stats.
Eye of Kilrogg: Special Item.
Item Description: The zealous goblin engineer Kilrogg crafted this item using his own eye. This item can clearly imprint any image seen into the user's mind and has a certain chance of seeing through stealth. When using this item, the player's movement speed is reduced to 50% of the original.
The Eye of Kilrogg is suitable for use during adventures. It can help avoid danger and is a very good item.
"Got a special item," Nie Yan said, sharing the item's stats with Tang Yao.
Tang Yao pondered for a moment, then said, "If you have a mage's Eye of Perception, the Eye of Kilrogg doesn't seem that useful."
The mage's Eye of Perception was also an adventure skill. For ordinary players, it might be more useful than the Eye of Kilrogg.
However, Nie Yan had his own unique insights regarding the Eye of Kilrogg.
"This thing is much more useful than the Eye of Perception," Nie Yan said with a mysterious smile. "I looked for similar items before, but I never found one. With this thing, I might be able to do some earth-shattering things."
"Earth-shattering things? What things?"
"Make Kuang Fa and Holy Flame die in their fortresses," Nie Yan said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"You're going to infiltrate their fortresses to hunt them down? Are you sure you can pull it off?" Tang Yao asked, shocked by Nie Yan's words.
"As a Grand Thief, I have a 30% chance. If I can successfully advance to Shadow Dancer, I have 50%. If someone cooperates with me, I have 90%," Nie Yan said. He immediately thought of Sun and the World Conquerors. With their cooperation, he would dare to go to the headquarters of Angel Corps, let alone Kuang Fa and Holy Flame!
"This is a dangerous game, you better think it through," Tang Yao said with a wry smile. Nie Yan was really crazy, daring to do something like this.
"I'll talk about it after advancing to Shadow Dancer," Nie Yan said with a smile.
After handing in all the song score fragments, Nie Yan checked his current experience points. He was already at 73, 79%! So fast! If he were grinding monsters, he didn't know how long it would take to get this much experience.
On the last Wheel of Destiny spin, Nie Yan watched the rotating wheel, feeling much lighter. This time, he came here and obtained the Eye of Kilrogg, which wasn't a loss. He would leave the rest to fate.
Nie Yan casually reached out and touched the Wheel of Destiny, not even paying attention to Pandora's Box. The wheel suddenly stopped, landing squarely on the Legendary Item section!
He looked at the Wheel of Destiny in disbelief, not even daring to believe his eyes. However, the Wheel of Destiny was indeed pointing at the Legendary Item section. He had actually hit the 1% probability.
With a ding, the sound of equipment dropping into his bag filled him with comfort. Nie Yan checked his bag, and in the corner, a golden dagger lay quietly. The dagger had a very peculiar shape. The curved blade resembled a venomous snake ready to strike. The blade was covered with golden scales, and the tip had two barbs, like a snake's fangs, emitting a chilling light that was deeply unsettling.
Nie Yan checked the dagger's stats.
Kraut's Viper Dagger: Requires 800 Strength, 1000 Agility, Level 70. (Cannot be used)
Item Description: A dagger made by the thief Kraut from a golden viper.
Item Attributes: Attack +1020, +15% Poison Damage, Strength +300, Agility +220, Focus +30. Attached Skill: Release Venom, after using this skill, the opponent will be paralyzed, unable to move or use any skills, lasting 5 seconds. Skill Cooldown: One natural day.
Restriction: Must be used by a Lawful Good aligned Thief.
A dagger with 1020 attack was quite good, but unfortunately, it was only a level 70 legendary item. After reaching level 100, this dagger would be a bit outdated.
However, it would take a long time for players to reach level 100.
Nie Yan's level was far ahead of the main group. Ordinary players were currently only around level 60, and none had reached level 70 yet. Don't underestimate the difference of less than ten levels. The total amount of experience required was vastly different. The higher the level, the harder it was to improve.
Nie Yan saw the name Kraut and pondered. Kraut was one of the eight thieves, known as the Viper. Many dragons had died from the venom he used.
Could this Viper Dagger be related to the Thorny Bird organization?
Just as Nie Yan was pondering, wondering if obtaining this Viper Dagger was not just luck, he heard Blamaire beside him say, "I brought this back from the distant Saturn Empire. When I found it, it was dull and lifeless, like scrap metal. Until now, it has regained its glory. It has chosen you. Take it and seek the radiance it holds."
"Respected Mr. Blamaire, where should I go?" Nie Yan asked.
"The distant Orcish Royal City, where they once fought. The Saturn Empire occupied it, but their stories still circulate. Find Chief Blaize, he will give you the answers you seek." Blamaire's every word had a profound meaning, concealing many things.
Nie Yan understood that sometimes, trying to squeeze more clues from NPCs was futile. Foolishly asking questions would only provoke resentment.
Nie Yan and Tang Yao exchanged glances. They had obtained two items here, which was already a profit. It was time to leave.
The two bid farewell to Blamaire and walked out of his house.
"Should we let Guo Huai and the others continue buying song score fragments?" Tang Yao asked. Overall, handing in song score fragments was quite profitable.
"It's too early to buy them now. Players can't enter the depths of the Dollen Mountains yet," Nie Yan said. Players would have to be at least level 100 or so before they could obtain Blamaire's song score fragments.
"Then I'll tell them to keep an eye out for it, and we'll talk about it later," Tang Yao said.
"Where are you planning to go next?" Nie Yan asked. Now that they were done, Tang Yao should go level up, otherwise, his level would drop.
"I'm going to prepare some consumables and then go level up in the wilderness. I'll go with you to search for treasure chests in a while," Tang Yao said.
"Then I'll go to the Thieves Guild first," Nie Yan said. He remembered that he still had a reward to collect from the Thieves Guild, and he hoped that the reward hadn't been taken by anyone else.
After Nie Yan and Tang Yao parted ways, they went their separate ways.
Nie Yan walked straight towards the Thieves Guild. After collecting the reward, he would also go to the master-level gem artisan to upgrade the special items in his hand.
Wearing a cloak, Nie Yan walked into the Thieves Guild. The hall of the Thieves Guild was full of people. In this vast crowd, he was just an inconspicuous figure, and no one would pay attention to him.
The Thieves Guild's main tower had been built into a fifty-story high tower. At the very top, one could receive some relatively rare tasks. There were two ways to get to the top of the fifty-story tower. One was to take the magic elevator, which only took thirty seconds, and the other was to go up the stairs, which required walking more than two thousand steps, taking at least ten minutes.
Nie Yan looked up at the main tower. The magic elevator went up and down, very fast, half-suspended in the air. Occasionally, one or two players went up, and some players came down. They were busy with their respective tasks, wishing they could use one minute as two minutes.
Nie Yan walked into the main tower, but he didn't take the elevator like ordinary players. Instead, he followed the spiral staircase, walking up one step at a time, slowly and steadily.
Through the windows of the main tower, he could see the beautiful scenery outside, a dense collection of magical buildings. Although many buildings were old, they still had a lot of charm. They stretched endlessly, with no end in sight.
The magic elevator flew past the edge of the main tower at high speed. The players sitting in the magic elevator could see Nie Yan climbing up the stairs, as slow as a snail. Climbing more than two thousand steps would take so much time!
"Haha, look at that idiot, there's an elevator but he's climbing the stairs," a thief around level 60 laughed loudly.
"That guy is really stupid, still going up."
Careless laughter came from the elevator, but Nie Yan pretended not to hear it and continued to walk slowly, feeling calm and relaxed.
These players couldn't possibly understand what he was doing, and he didn't need to explain it to them. He remembered a sentence: Walk your own path and let others talk.
