Chapter 897: Chapter 898 Interest_1
The final boss dropped a dozen pieces of equipment, among which one radiated a purple-red glow, indicating it was an epic piece of equipment. There were also two dark gold quality pieces of equipment and one dark gold quality skill scroll;
Song Jian first picked up the epic equipment. Glancing at it, he realized to his surprise that it was something he could equip—a shoulder guard with an unusual design;
“Magic Dragon Shoulder Armor: Leather shoulder pads, item level 50, epic quality, equipment effects: Defense +217, Resistance +198, Strength +21, Agility +25, Constitution +28, Spirit +30, Life Leech +15%, Special Effect 1: Evil Dragon Roar (Passive), when taking damage, the attacked will trigger Evil Dragon Roar, receiving 1000 points of damage and trembling for 3 seconds. During this trembling, they cannot move or attack, this effect can be triggered only once every 120 seconds; Special Effect 2: Magic Dragon Protection (Passive), protected by the breath of the Magic Dragon, reducing all incoming damage by 15%, and increasing anti-critical hit rate by 3%; Special Effect 3: Increases the chance to hit the target by 3%, with a certain chance to cause a guaranteed hit effect; Equipment Requirement: Level 40; Can this item be taken out of the game: No”
The attributes added by this piece of equipment were equivalent to four pieces of Song Jian’s current Ant Emperor Ancestor Set, and even after swapping out one piece, despite the loss of one set bonus attribute, the Magic Dragon Shoulder Armor greatly enhanced Song Jian’s strength, much more than the eight-piece Emperor Ant Suit, so he didn’t hesitate to replace it;
The remaining two dark gold quality pieces of equipment were a cloth helmet for a Mage and a pair of boxing gloves for a fighter. Although Song Jian couldn’t use them himself, he could throw them into the guild warehouse for other players to exchange with Contribution Points;
As for the dark gold quality skill scroll, even Song Jian was somewhat envious. It was a transformation scroll that allowed players to become an Abyssal Dragon;
Unfortunately, this skill scroll was specifically designated for Abyssal Druids to use, unavailable to other classes. This must rank as a top-tier ability amongst the first-order combat powers for the Abyssal Druid class, and if he were to sell it to Abyss players, it would command several million Doomsday Coins, impossible to acquire for less;
Hesitating for a moment, Song Jian eventually sighed and chose to have it devoured by the Thousand Swords Art;
Actually, the best course of action for Song Jian would have been to sell the Skill Book and exchange it for seven or eight gold quality Skill Books. The proficiency gained for the Thousand Swords Art from so many gold quality Skill Books would certainly exceed that from one dark gold quality Skill Book by a great margin;
However, if Song Jian sold the book, it would provide an independent faction player with a strategic skill capable of turning the tables, a threat to the human faction far too great to overlook.

After an internal struggle, a flash of white light appeared in Song Jian’s hand, the Skill Scroll vanished, and the proficiency of Thousand Swords Art increased by about one-fifth;
As for the remaining spoils of war, Song Jian merely gave them a cursory glance before tossing them all into his inventory bag. Just then, a system prompt followed;
System: Congratulations to player Song Jian for clearing the Abyssal Shadows (Level 5 Secret Challenge) on Hard difficulty, awarding 1000 points of human reputation, 10,000 Doomsday Coins, and 5 million Experience Points!
A flash of golden light appeared, and Song Jian’s level went up by one instantly;
Previously, Song Jian was already at over eighty percent of his experience bar. Having cleared the Abyssal Shadows dungeon on Hard difficulty alone, Song Jian was already on the verge of leveling up. The reward of 5 million combat experience points was like the final straw, pushing him over the edge to gain another level;
Now at level 41, Song Jian allocated the newly acquired skill point into the already maxed Sword Shadow Clone, bringing it up to level 2 and greatly enhancing its attributes;
The clone’s inherited attributes increased from the original 30% to 40%, but the skill was still only able to use level 1 abilities and couldn’t utilize the special effects and abilities of equipped items;
After settling everything, Song Jian suddenly noticed that his communication channel was flooded with call requests. When he opened it, he saw that Wang Qi had sent over a dozen requests;
“Wang Qi, what’s up?” Song Jian accepted the call and asked.
“Lord of the city, you, you really cleared the difficult level of the Abyssal Shadow dungeon?” Wang Qi’s voice came through the communication channel, incredulous.
“What, didn’t you get the system prompt? Haha!” Song Jian laughed;
Usually, Song Jian rarely participated in guild activities, so no one had an exact understanding of his strength. Everyone knew that Song Jian was powerful, but just how powerful was something no one knew;
“That’s a forty-person dungeon, forty people!” Wang Qi was almost crying: “Our elite team has been working on it for over a month and only reached the third boss! You, you alone took half a day to take down all six bosses, how, how is that possible!”
Each member of the elite team was personally recruited by Wang Qi. He was clearer about their strength than anyone else. The forty-person elite team could only make it as far as the third boss before they were unable to continue, which shows how difficult the dungeon with the difficult level was;
When Song Jian said he wanted to take a look, Wang Qi really thought it was just to look. He didn’t expect that Song Jian would actually clear the entire difficult level of the dungeon on his own.
Just then, Wang Qi suddenly thought of something and hastily asked, “Boss, you’re not planning to clear the true difficulty level of the Abyssal Shadow dungeon on your own, are you?”
Song Jian hesitated for a moment and then shook his head in the communication channel, “With my strength alone, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to clear the true difficulty level of the dungeon!”
If the first three difficulty levels of the dungeon increased step by step, then the true difficulty level compared to the difficult level was skyrocketing geometrically, a nightmare, hellish level of difficulty;
Song Jian, having cleared the difficult level dungeon on his own, had used all his tricks, narrowly surviving to defeat the six bosses. If he were to face the true difficulty level, with his strength alone, it would likely be very difficult to clear.
When Wang Qi heard Song Jian say this, his heart sank. The elite team of City of Hope couldn’t even get past the third boss on the difficult level, let alone the true difficulty. Even if they joined forces with Song Jian, they would probably just hold him back;
“With that said, let’s push back the territory expansion campaign,” said Wang Qi with a sigh.
Without completely destroying the level five dungeon, it was impossible to take full control of Doomsday City. The territorial expansion had to be postponed.
“Oh, by the way, Lord of the city, a Sky City appeared about twenty kilometers from Doomsday City, and many people have found treasures inside. Do you want to check it out?” Wang Qi suddenly said: “I’ve already collected a lot of information about Sky City. You can have a look when you get back.”
“Sky City?” Song Jian was startled, remembering the four-winged angel who had fought alongside him in Abyssal Hell, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile: “Has Xiao Yong regained his memory?” When the angel egg hatched, Wang Qi had told Song Jian right away, but Song Jian also knew that the newly born Battle Angel had no memories of Kekaul, and it would take a long time to regain its past memories.
“Not yet, but Xiao Yong says there are very powerful monsters inside Sky City, very dangerous!” Wang Qi said;
Song Jian nodded. In the game, risk and reward were proportional. The stronger the monsters inside, the greater the benefits to be gained. Thinking of this, he became very interested in this newly appeared Sky City;
