Chapter 118 Equipment Merge and Upgrade

Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Equipment Merge and Upgrade"Brother Xu, why did we let him go?" On the way back, Yuan Yao couldn’t help asking, "I think that guy really doesn’t look like a good person, and he might harm someone in the future."

Huang Junjie glanced at Xu Huo, "Someone like Wang Chaoqing, you can’t say he’s extremely evil, but he’s definitely not a good person."

They weren’t the type of relentless players who kill on sight; Xu Huo not dealing with Wang Chaoqing might have been for that reason.

"Leave professional matters to the professionals. The Special Affairs Office must be short-staffed." Xu Huo closed his eyes, but he wasn’t resting; instead, he was checking the game panel.

Lin Pei’s profession was a hunter, and his ability to track by identifying footprints was his trait; his potion slot was empty, likely because he used it all to increase his evolution rate; he also had one thousand and five White Notes, a ticket, plus two items.

One was the bow and arrow he had used before.

In simple terms, it’s a pair of bow and arrow with poor accuracy, but separately the bow can be used as a compass, and the arrow can act as a tracking hidden weapon.

Let’s not dwell on the bow for now; the flying arrow, however, is a potent and practical item that only requires two conditions to be met: touching the target and any object within the space where the target is located.

Lin Pei’s first use was inside Master Niese’s house, and the second time within the compound wall; while the house and the wall have different forms, both can be considered a space. He just needed to make contact with the target ahead of time and choose the location.

Within that space, the player can freely control the flying arrow to attack the target.

Had it not been for obtaining a super item in advance, Xu Huo might have actually fallen victim to this item.

Lin Pei, who set the trap to kill him, ended up inadvertently giving him a chance to rewind and start over. And because he had survived, it was he himself who ended up dying.

The reversal of fate made even Xu Huo sigh at the karma of sowing and reaping.

The second item was a torch that could stay lit for half an hour even when wet.

After checking the spoils of war, he continued to look at his own personal panel.

Although this game didn’t reward any new items, a tool upgrade opportunity was exactly what Xu Huo wanted.

Like potions, tools have varying levels of quality. The Sealed Box that Level D player Peng Fengnian gave him for installing the paper smartphone is a common item, whereas the paper smartphone itself is a Rank-B prop.

He currently has enough common items on his hands; what he is missing are more powerful props.

The "Fish Skin Armor" and "Bull Shield" obtained from the cannibal player Ma Yu of the Holy Sword Society are defensive items, while the "Arsonist’s Tool," "Archery Set of Mutual Detest," and "Crimson Sword" are offensive items, all with strict limitations that don’t allow for flexible use.

The "Crimson Sword" is a special item and not within the upgrading scope; the first two are clearly more practical, the "Arsonist’s Tool" being the most useful.

Xu Huo chose yes.

He raised an eyebrow. A single upgrade would typically result in a Level E item, but merging two compatible items could result in a Level D item. Of course, he opted for the upgrade.

After selecting yes, the two items turned grey, indicating the upgrade was in progress.

It seemed the upgrade wouldn’t be finished in a short while, so Xu Huo turned his attention back to the potions.

The POT and P1A injectors he obtained from Fenbei Town hadn’t been put into use, but these injectors were upgraded versions of the evolution agents, at least Level D potions, with likely much better effects than the mere Level E P0 Potion.

But he didn’t need the game’s evolution potions right now, so he planned to give most of these potions away.

The Playdough Station ticket from Old Eagle of the Holy Sword Society was a Level D Ticket; he still needed to complete two Level E instances to advance to Level D, so there was no need to rush directly to a Level D instance. He decided his next instance would be from the three Level E options.

Hundred People Art Gallery appeared to be a closed instance; his attention shifted between Brick Tale Town and Clown City.

A new message suddenly popped up on the panel.
