Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Golden Equipment, World-Shatter · Flowing Light Sword!

[Wow! Golden Legend: "Holy fack! The servers have only been open for a few minutes, right? And there's already golden gear? Bro, tell me how you got it! Don't make me beg you."]

[Top Up A Cent Cut It Off: "Didn't the officials say that for the sake of balance, the recharge function won't open until three months later? If there's no way to top up, where did this golden gear come from?"]

[Don't Eat Cilantro: "Big bro who got the gold gear, can we add each other as friends so I can take a look at the gear? In exchange, I'll let you see my legs."]

[AAA Building Materials Old Wang: "You upstairs, add uncle as a friend, uncle won't look for free, uncle's got money, uncle will buy you gear."] [T/N: FBI! OPEN UP!]

The chat channel in Yunbian Town blew up.

Lin Mo was just as fired up, "I didn't expect there to be achievement rewards too! And the rewards are this generous?"

In Divine Oracle, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 copper coins.

And the initial exchange rate the officials set between game currency and RMB was 1:1.

"An achievement reward of ten thousand yuan?"

"That's basically reimbursing all the money I spent buying gear! So good!"

Overjoyed, Lin Mo looked at the long sword in his hand shining with golden light:

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[World-Shatter · Flowing Light Sword] (Lv0)

— Quality: Tier 1 · gold

— Attack: +55

— Bonus Attribute: Agility +20

— Special Effect: Shatter (each attack of the wielder deals an extra 50 points of damage)

— Description: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a newbie for being poor.

— Note: Bound

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"From white quality to gold quality, the base attack went straight from 1 point to 55 points?"

"And the bonus attribute and special effect are this broken too!"

Seeing with his own eyes what it meant to upgrade from a crappy gun to artillery, Lin Mo couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.

"Golden gear is so strong!"

To avoid attracting too much attention, Lin Mo turned off the golden light effect of the Flowing Light Sword.

Then he finished equipping his gear.

With the remaining 19 evolution points, Lin Mo evolved four more times in a row, using them to evolve the Newbie Pants to Tier 1 · orange:

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Newbie Pants] (Lv0)

— Quality: Tier 1 · orange

— Defense: +18

— Bonus Attribute: Constitution +6

— Special Effect: Damage Reduction (reduces incoming damage by 20 points when the wearer is attacked)

— Description: While covering your shame, it can also provide you with pretty good defense.

— Note: Bound

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Orange gear was indeed quite good.

But compared to golden gear, it was obviously way behind.

Unfortunately, the 4 remaining evolution points were not enough to keep evolving.

"We'll leave it at this for now. With one gold weapon and one orange armor piece, that should be enough to handle the early stage."

After finishing his equipment, Lin Mo took another look at the title rewarded by the system:

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Gold Gear War God] (Title)

— Quality: White

— Attribute: Attack +1%

— Description: A symbol of honor for the first player in Novice Village No. 116, Yunbian Town, to obtain golden gear.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"A white-quality title already gives a percentage bonus?"

Lin Mo was a bit surprised.

Anyone who plays games knows that percentage bonuses become more and more valuable in the late game.

What's more, in the world of Divine Oracle, title attributes can be stacked infinitely. Every extra title means you're permanently one step ahead of others.

Equipping the title, Lin Mo opened the status bar and took a look:

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Gold Gear War God · Rulebound] (Lv0)

— Talent: Soul Fire (SSS-tier · Unique)

— Class: None

— Race: Human

— Reputation: 10

— Strength: 3 (1 Strength = 1 Attack)

— Agility: 23 (affects speed, crit, dodge)

— Endurance: 3 (1 Endurance = 1 Defense)

— Constitution: 9 (1 Constitution = 10 HP)

— Spirit: 3 (1 Spirit = 5 MP)

— Attack: 64 (includes the 11% attack bonus from Human race and title)

— Defense: 21

— HP: 90

— MP: 15

— Skill: Detection (E-tier, consumes 1 MP, can view the attributes of monsters whose level does not exceed your own by more than 3 levels)

— EXP: 0/100

—Money: 1 gold, 0 silver, 0 copper

[Description: Rookie, nothing more to say.]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

When other newbie players generally only had 4 or 5 points of attack and thirty to forty-odd HP.

Lin Mo's current stats could absolutely be called a crane standing among chickens.

"According to the official announcement of the level-rush event, the first ten players in each newbie village to reach level 10 can get rewards. The first place alone gets a cash prize of one hundred thousand."

To say he wasn't tempted would be a lie.

Although once Divine Oracle devours the real world, money will be no different from waste paper.

At least before that happens, money is still a good thing.

Lin Mo recalled, 'After Divine Oracle's servers have been open for three months, the officials will unlock the recharge function. If I remember right, at that time they'll launch a recharge event in sync.'

'Personal cumulative recharge of five million rewards one Forbidden Spell Skill Book.'

'Cumulative recharge of ten million rewards one Super Artifact.'

'Cumulative recharge of twenty million rewards one Guild Creation Order.'

'Cumulative recharge of thirty million rewards one bottle of Ultra-Rare Racial Blood Condensation.'

'Cumulative recharge of fifty million rewards one Hidden Class Change Scroll. The more you recharge, the more you get back.'

"Unfortunately, the crisis of Divine Oracle devouring the real world breaks out exactly ten minutes after the recharge function opens. After the crisis starts, the recharge entrance closes at the same time."

"With only ten minutes to recharge, a lot of whales didn't even react in time and never got to recharge."

Licking his lips, eyes full of desire, Lin Mo said, "If I can get all of the cumulative recharge rewards, then for me, the crisis of Divine Oracle devouring the real world won't be a disaster at all, but the starting point for me to step onto the peak of Divine Oracle."

Just one SSS-tier talent was far from enough.

After all, in the world of Divine Oracle, besides Lin Mo, there were nine other SSS-tier talent holders.

Lin Mo's goal was to eat them all alive and become the strongest in Divine Oracle.

So earning at least fifty million within three months was Lin Mo's primary goal in this life.

If this were his previous life, that would indeed be pure fantasy.

But right now, not only did Lin Mo have his memories from the previous life, he also held the only SSS-tier talent on the whole server in his hands.

"Earning fifty million in three months shouldn't be a problem."

"Let's start with the first-place reward of one hundred thousand from this level-rush event."

As he spoke, Lin Mo looked around.

He found that the town was already packed with people.

You had to admit, the officials choosing Friday night at eight o'clock as the server opening time was really scheming.

They scooped up both students and office workers.

At this moment, practically every NPC who could give quests was surrounded by people.

All kinds of voices rose and fell one after another.

"Big bro with the newbie sword in the back, put that thing away! It's poking my butt."

"Stop squeezing! My D-cup is about to be squeezed into an A!"

"Damn! I was just passing by, who the hell shoved me over here, let me out!"

Looking at it like this, trying to pick up a quest was as hard as ascending to heaven.

But this kind of thing was no problem for Lin Mo at all.

Lin Mo looked left and right, used a wooden stick to poke up a handful of dog poop from the ground, then raised the poop-covered stick and walked straight toward Aunt Li.

"Anyone who doesn't want to get shit on, make way!"

The players crowding around Aunt Li turned around and, seeing this, all dodged away from Lin Mo.

Just like that, Lin Mo smoothly picked up a quest from Aunt Li.

Then, under the contemptuous gazes of the other players, he swaggered off.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Retrieve the Eggs] (Normal Quest)

— Difficulty Rating: 10

— Quest Description: The eggs from Aunt Li's house are always being stolen and eaten by weasels that sneak in from outside the town. Please head to the Lv1 Shrub Forest north of Yunbian Town, kill weasels, and retrieve the eggs lost for Aunt Li.

— Quest Progress: 0/10

— Quest Rewards: EXP +50, Copper +8, Reputation +1, Aunt Li's Favorability +1

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

At first glance, this looked like just an ordinary quest.

But only Lin Mo knew, "If I remember right, as long as I complete this quest ten times in a row, which is to say collect one hundred eggs for Aunt Li, I can trigger Yunbian Town's only hidden quest."
