Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Yang Yu unwrapped the layers of cloth, revealing a gentle golden light shining through the fabric’s seams.

Anyone touched by the light felt as if their soul had been purified.

When Yang Yu unveiled the final layer of cloth, a sharp long sword with a hollow center appeared.

[Dark Breaking Blade

Quality: Epic

Light Attribute Attack

Attributes: Additional Attack Power +200, Strength +120, Strength +12%, Intelligence +50, Intelligence +5%, +500HP

Passive Skill [Breaking Darkness]: +20% damage to Demons, Undead Race, Dark Magic users, etc.

Active Skill [Holy Light Surrounding]: Activate the potential in the Heavenly Stone, enveloping the blade in Holy Light, dealing an additional 500 True Damage to Demons, Undead Race, Dark Magic users, etc., lasting 10 minutes, with a 24-hour cooldown.

]

This was a highly specialized weapon, and with it, Yang Yu would no longer need to worry about hitting air with normal attacks against ghosts.

Even more surprising for Yang Yu was the next piece of equipment.

Yang Yu flipped over another piece of cloth, revealing a box inside. Opening it, he found a bracelet-like object resting inside.

[Reverse Wheel

Quality: Epic towards Legendary

Attributes: +200 Basic Strength, +20% Strength.

Passive [Power Potential Activation]: This is a piece of equipment with mysterious powers, subtly changing a person’s physique and unleashing their potential. After equipping, Strength increases by 1 point every 18 hours, (regardless of how much Qi Li Ore or equipment made from Qi Li Ore you possess, the maximum attribute growth limit is Level X10)

Active Skill [Transcend]: User’s Strength becomes 9999 for 3 seconds.

]

Yang Yu thought he was seeing things and checked the panel again, but it indeed stated that the user’s Strength becomes 9999 for 3 seconds.

There were no side effects or probabilities; it simply became 9999 in 3 seconds.

Wow.

With the addition of 200 Basic Strength and 20% Strength, plus such an impressive passive, it completely outshined some of the Legendary accessories in the giant dragon’s vault.

Adding the 3-second burst of 9999 Strength, along with the lightweight design that could easily fit around the arm and wrist, it was simply perfect, and Yang Yu couldn’t find any flaws.

To get such a top-tier piece of equipment in other games, Yang Yu would have to spend countless days and nights.

The crafting of such an item couldn’t be separated from the nature of Qi Li Ore itself, and Brian Redbeard’s forging skills played a crucial role.

Yang Yu’s grin widened uncontrollably, unable to contain his laughter. His mood was like finally drawing what he had been longing for for ages, casually obtained with a voucher from the operations team, and it wasn’t just one item, but a bunch of coveted treasures.

This couldn’t be described as just feeling elated; it was like soaring to great heights.

If not for the crowd around, Yang Yu would have burst into a silly dance on the spot to celebrate.

Yang Yu understood Brian Redbeard’s eagerness because creating such an item was an unparalleled honor for him.

Brian Redbeard wiped his nose, his face full of pride and satisfaction, saying cheerfully:

”Seeing your gaping smile, I knew you had an eye for this stuff.

I’ve also crafted other Epic equipment and a number of promising prototypes.

Come with me, I’ll give them all to you.”

Rubbing his cheeks to calm down, Yang Yu followed Brian Redbeard into the Blacksmith Shop, under the envious gazes of the others.

With a sweep, Yang Yu collected all the prototypes and Epic-quality equipment into the System, and immediately took out materials exchanged from the giant dragon to give to Brian Redbeard.

Yang Yu would never think he had too many high-quality pieces of equipment.

Forging is a long process, and with so many materials given to Brian Redbeard, even if he slacked a bit, he would definitely have crafted a few decent pieces of equipment the next time Yang Yu visited.

Yang Yu’s worry, though, was unnecessary.

Seeing the abundance of materials from Yang Yu, Brian was already grinning from ear to ear.

It was the right time to forge while the momentum was hot; he aspired to ascend the peaks meant for Dwarves, and he wouldn’t just stop there.

The materials from Yang Yu would probably be spent quickly, and then Brian would eagerly wait for Yang Yu to come back and sponsor him again.

Brian Redbeard warmly hosted Yang Yu, and after filling his stomach and wiping his mouth, he rushed to the workbench, analyzing the materials Yang Yu provided and comparing their properties to known materials. Then he set to work with a clang.

Meanwhile, Yang Yu left the Dwarf settlement, amid the envious and jealous looks from other Dwarves, happily heading to the nearest adventurer’s guild.

Most capable adventurers were lured away by the giant dragon’s task, leaving the adventurer’s guild empty.

Yang Yu walked briskly, tearing off the task from the bulletin board, issued by the giant dragon.

[Task: Subjugate [Evil Dragon]

SSSSS-level

Note: This task is very dangerous and is best undertaken by a large group.

Task Requirements: In a certain sea area of the Ocean Duchy, traces of the Evil Dragon have been found. The S-Class adventure group [Raging Dream] has already fallen victim to her might.

The Evil Dragon’s power is rapidly escalating, and it is hoped that everyone can swiftly subjugate her before it becomes irreparable.

The Evil Dragon may have some extremely powerful offspring, and it’s imperative to subjugate the main body.

Hint: There might be clues at the S-Class adventure group [Raging Dream]’s stronghold. When investigating, make sure to let professionals handle it to avoid destroying clue integrity.

Reward: All who contribute to subjugating the Evil Dragon will receive a reward with a minimum value of a piece of Legendary Equipment. Depending on contribution, the reward can be as valuable as a full set of Legendary Equipment.

After the subjugation, the giant dragon will evaluate your actions and distribute rewards accordingly.

If there are any questions, you can publicly challenge the giant dragon, who guarantees fairness and justice.

Glancing quickly at the task, Yang Yu’s quest log displayed the task with the same content.

A piece of paper floated down from the bulletin board and an identical task was posted.

This task was similar to the Magic Beast invasion, and if left unchecked, would cause greater calamities. Thus, anyone could take this task and compete to see who could complete it faster and better.

After completing a series of procedures at the front desk, Yang Yu and his companions left the adventurer’s guild, which was quiet and empty.

The city of Makuder was quite large. Having visited both the Dwarves and the adventurer’s guild, by nightfall, they still hadn’t left Makuder. At the city’s fringe, they found an inn to stay and planned to set out in the morning.

Yang Yu wanted to use the time before leaving the city to distribute the prizes he received from the Dragon God Conference.

The distribution wasn’t done yesterday, partly due to the late hour and partly because he wanted to discuss matters with Gordon and Lang Yi...

Thinking it would be safe as long as they didn’t leave the city, Yang Yu postponed the distribution to today.
