Chapter 178 Skeleton King’s Ring

Xiaofeng’s expression was stiff. He did not know what the consequence of taking Xiaobai out would be or whether this would offend Goddess of Light. She was definitely the most horrible NPC that Xiaofeng had known in all games.

Goddess of Light said nothing. No one could tell her emotions from her peaceful expression. Her eyesight lingered on Xiaofeng’s body for a while and then turned to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai curiously looked at Goddess of Light with her head tilted to one side. She seemed to be a new-born baby who felt strange and confused about everything. She only felt close to Xiaofeng, beside whom, Goddess of Light was the only other person she did not feel scared at.

Suddenly, Goddess of Light took back her eyesight and rose one of her tender hands which looked like carved ivory, gently pointing at Xiaofeng.

“Hey! Due to the space ban, your pet space can’t be opened temporarily. The ban duration is unknown.”

A system prompt sounded by Xiaofeng’s ears, which immediately made his expression change.

“You!”

Xiaofeng was shocked not only because Goddess of Light was so horrible that she restrained him from summoning any pet with a gentle move but also because she took away Xiaobai from him; thus, he could not summon Xiaobai again!

“After Holy Messenger reaches Mythical Level, I will remove the ban.”

Goddess of Light interrupted Xiaofeng’s words and said peacefully. Then, she stepped into a teleport that appeared suddenly and left away. She behaved superiorly from beginning to end and gave Xiaofeng no chance to talk.

Xiaofeng’s expression was gloomy. Goddess of Light went too far, but he could not resist her, so he had to accept it.

Looking at the stunned Xiaobai, Xiaofeng touched her head and finally eased his mind.

Xiaobai could gain her experience point and level up in the holy pool, so Xiaofeng did not have to train her deliberately. Besides, although she was restrained from getting out of the pool, for the time being, she could get free after reaching Mythical Level, which was also a good thing for Xiaofeng.

After playing with Xiaobai for a while and waiting for her to go back to the holy pool, Xiaofeng went to buy some rare potions since he passed by there.

“Wait, brother Xiao. I have something for you.”

When Xiaofeng was about to leave after giving the potions to Qian Duoduo, the later stopped him.

“What?” Xiaofeng asked in confusion.

They were now in the main building of Treasure Pavilion in Tianlong City. It was lively over there except for the fourth floor, where they stood, because others were not allowed to enter the floor. The female players of Treasure Pavilion also worked on this floor.

Treasure Pavilion’s branches had been opened in more than ten main cities. Qian Duoduo could not take care of so many branches on her own. Actually, she could hire NPCs with powerful abilities, such as searching for the information on the consigned equipment. They were equal to the humanoid trading system. However, she still needed to arrange at least one player in each branch, to host the auction or record the information of commodities.

The information on commodities in each branch was not interoperable. After all, those were artificial chambers of commerce instead of system trading banks. Therefore, many kinds of information needed to be sorted by players, including sending the best equipment to the main building for auction, or transporting the unmarketable equipment to other major sales cities with good sales volume.

For example, a shield warrior equipment was not marketable in some main cities with few visitors because of its high price. At this moment, managers should collect the related information so as to consign the equipment in Shengshui City, Tianlong City, and some other popular main cities. In these main cities in the popular instance zones, high-level equipment was largely needed. However, some ordinary and simple equipment was not easy to sell there. Then, managers should send them to some ordinary main cities.

Xiaofeng had never been to Qian Duoduo’s studio before and did not know how many players she had hired. As new players would join her from time to time, he estimated them to be around 20 players, all of whom were quiet and earnest or temperamental and pretty female players.

Generally, commercial buildings were bought by players from the game system, so, the purchasers could decide which area of the building to be open for the public. Take the main building of Treasure Pavilion for an instance, the first and the second floor were used as the exhibition hall and the trading area which players could enter freely, while the third floor was an auction house which only players with tickets could enter.

The fourth floor was a private area where only the designated players could enter. Apart from Qian Duoduo and her staffs, Xiaofeng was the only one allowed to enter there freely. Even Shangguan Aochen and Nicholas Brothers had no right to get in.

It was not the first time for Xiaofeng to enter the fourth floor. Although he tried to hide his identity every time, as the only outsider and male player among the staff, he still attracted a group of female players’ attention over there.

Although he had little communication with them, he heard them talk about him more than once. It seemed that Xiaofeng had arisen their interest.

“Look, the mysterious guy is here again.”

“He isn’t our staff, right? I have never seen him before.”

“Yeah, who is he? There is no player name over his head, and he also does not belong to our studio. How can he enter the fourth floor freely? I have seen him a few times on this floor.”

“Yes, he is close to our boss. She is always happy to see him.”

Someone said secretly. They were curious about Xiaofeng’s identity. The boss they mentioned certainly referred Qian Duoduo.

“Shh, lower your voice. He is a mysterious expert.” A beautiful female player alarmed carefully and she was the one who sent the Fast Ring to Xiaofeng when he bought it at the first auction of Treasure Pavilion.

“A mysterious expert? Chu Xin, do you know who he is?” Some other female players hurriedly surrounded her.

“I dare not speak out his identity, but I can tell you that he is really powerful. You know the No. 1 room in the auction house of our main building has never sold a ticket to others. This room is kept for him. Besides, you know the first guild token that has shocked the whole district. He got that and sold it at our Treasure Pavilion’s auction!”

“What? He is the permanent owner of the most mysterious No. 1 private room?”

“The guild token! The one that has been sold for one billion?”

“Besides, I once overheard our boss’s words that the rare potions in short supply are offered by him!”

“Wow! Even the rare potions are from him. You don’t know how many players have tried to bribe me for getting the rare potions in private.”

“So do we! Who is this mysterious guy? Chu Xin, tell us, please!”

“No, no! I really can’t tell you. The boss will fire me.”

...

A group of female players passing by and talking about the mysterious guy naturally attracted Qian Duoduo’s attention.

“What are you talking about over there instead of going to work?” Qian Duoduo immediately became serious. In fact, she was the youngest, but should show out her majesty of a boss.

“Just go. Our boss is getting angry. I dare not to bother her at this kind of moment.” The female players quickly rushed away.

“Brother Xiao, it seems you forgot what you came here for.”

Qian Duoduo helplessly looked at Xiaofeng and issued a transaction application to Xiaofeng.

“Em? Golden Equipment, I have forgotten it.”

Qian Duoduo had three things to trade with Xiaofeng, two of which were two pieces of Golden Equipment at level 20, Golden Skeleton Armor and Skeleton King’s Ring. These two were dropped with the immortal earring, Circle of Life, when Xiaofeng killed Golden Skeleton King. However, due to his level not reaching the standard to equip it at that time, he gave it to Qian Duoduo. Without Qian Duoduo’s reminder, he would have forgotten that he had reached level 20 and could equip with it now.

Golden Skeleton Armor was a full-body armor, whose top and bottom were in a set. Although it was a heavy armor, its attribute was much better than the superimposed power of Skeleton Breastplate and Skeleton Cuisse. With its skill of weakening ring of light, it could reduce the surrounding enemies’ DNF for 10%, which made it really a piece of good equipment. Xiaofeng put it on at once and gave Skeleton Breastplate and Skeleton Cuisse he took off to Qian Duoduo.

The best thing was still Skeleton King’s Ring, a ring of gold type! Because the ring was rare and Xiaofeng happened to need a ring, he could not wait to check the information on its attribute.

Skeleton King’s Ring

Quality: Gold

Type of Equipment: ring

Equipment Level: 20

Equipment Requirements: none

Effect:

Fanatic Aureole: 1 Health Point regeneration per second for surrounding friendly creatures

Command Aureole: 1 Mana Point regeneration per second for surrounding friendly creatures

Undead Aureole: Increase 10 points of DNF for surrounding friendly creatures

Xiaofeng was stunned because Skeleton King’s Ring was too powerful that it had three skills! Although all of the skills were auxiliary skills, each one of them was powerful. At the primary stage of the game, it was invincible!

First of all, it seemed that 1 Health Point or Mana Point regeneration per second was not a big deal, but in one minute, there would be 60 points regeneration, which was 15% of Xiaofeng’s total Health Points (around 400 points)! Besides, for those ordinary players with small amounts of Health Points, 60 points should account for tens percent of their full points. The regeneration effect was indeed amazing.

As for the aureole that could enhance one’s DNF, 10 points seemed to be a small amount, but ordinary players at the current stage just had several tens points of DNF; therefore, 10 points were a big upgrade!

Perhaps, in the later game stage when the average level and equipment of players were enhanced, the effect of this aureole would not be so impressive. After all, it was just equipment at level 20, but at the current stage, it was absolutely invincible for a team!

Xiaofeng was very satisfied and wore Skeleton King’s Ring. The golden skeleton appearance of the ring looked good. Then, Xiaofeng turned to observe the third item traded by Qian Duoduo.

“These are... Space Stones?”

Xiaofeng was familiar with these stones because it was him that had given them to Qian Duoduo when he cleaned up his backpack. He got these stones at the bottom of Muguang Lake. There were totally 128 pieces of stones, which he dug out from the stone slab used to make Transmission Formation. Now, the stone slab was still in his backpack. Back when he found these stones, he did not know the usage of them, so he simply gave them to Qian Duoduo.

“Haven’t you asked me to check the usage of this material?” Qian Duoduo said.

“Well, you checked it out now?” Xiaofeng asked curiously.

“Yes, this is a kind of high-level material. One of my staff found out its usage during completing her daily tasks. It’s valuable, so I was not willing to sell it. Maybe, it will be useful for you.” Qian Duoduo looked at the Space Stone in Xiaofeng’s hand reluctantly.

“How can I use it?” Xiaofeng asked at once. He thought that as a part of the material of Transmission Formation, these stones might have some relation to Transmission Formation.

“The most basic usage of them is to enlarge your backpack from the NPC in the warehouse. One Space Stone could enlarge your backpack by 10 squares, but this is a waste using them this way. It had some more significant usage!” Qian Duoduo said seriously.

“What’s it?” Xiaofeng remembered when his backpack was enlarged to 100 squares, the NPC boss had told him that once he got some Space Stones, he could continue to enlarge his backpack. At that moment, he thought his backpack was big enough, so he did not take the words seriously. But now, 128 Space Stones could enlarge the space of his backpack by 1,000 squares.

“In fact, the Space Stones are the core material to build Transmission Formation, and nearly all the guilds need to have a Transmission Formation in their encampment. However, so far, except for you, no one else has even a piece of Space Stone.”

Xiaofeng came up with an idea in his mind and looked at Qian Duoduo. He finally realized her purpose.
