Chapter 1163: Peerless!

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

“All attributes +15” essentially meant a staggering amount of free attribute points for Sheyan — an amount in the hundreds! More importantly, that was only the first property of the equipment!

The second property was: [ When the owner is affected by any negative statuses which affect movement speed, Defence will increase by 15 and HP will increase by 500. If the negative status is caused by a contestant, the buffs are doubled. ]

The third property was: [ The owner’s movement speed will have a guaranteed minimum limit. This special effect has domain precedence. This special effect ensures that the owner’s minimum movement speed will never be lower than 75% of maximum movement speed. ]

And the fourth property was: [ Reduce 10% of all damages. If the damage is caused by a contestant, the reduction becomes 15%. ]

Sheyan carefully read the description of the “Colonel’s Blood Boots”. A storm was already raging in his heart. All four properties of the boots were phenomenal; each one of them could be the main property of a dark gold equipment. It seemed like Lieutenant General Mungo had not lied to him.

Sheyan could not help asking further, “What would it cost me to get these boots under normal circumstances?”

Lieutenant General Mungo checked this and answered, “High-rank Blood Equipment is not so easily obtained. Take you for example. Even if you enter a Bloody World now, I’m afraid you can only buy Second Lieutenant-rank Blood Equipment first. After that, you’ll have to kill other contestants in the Bloody World to collect achievement points and Bloody Invitation Letters, which are necessary for upgrading Blood Equipment. You can then upgrade the Second Lieutenant-rank Blood Equipment to First Lieutenant-rank, and so on. Of course, the rank of your Blood Equipment can’t be higher than your military rank.”

(TL Note: Military Rank: Second Lieutenant < First Lieutenant < Captain < Major < Lieutenant Colonel < Colonel < Major General < Lieutenant General < General)

Sheyan could not help but frown. “Why is it so troublesome?”

Lieutenant General Mungo laughed as he called in a busty female secretary. “It can’t be helped. Apart from the 100% success rate during upgrades, upgrading Blood Equipment is just as hard as upgrading other types of equipment. My secretary has just calculated that if you want to obtain this pair of ‘Colonel’s Blood Boots’ under normal circumstances, you’ll have to prepare five Bloody Invitation Letters and accumulate 164 achievement points. And you’ll also need a lot of luck.”

“Luck?” Sheyan exclaimed in astonishment, “Didn’t you say that the upgrading has a 100% success rate?”

“I did,” Lieutenant General Mungo nodded, “But the specific properties acquired after the upgrades are random!”

“Look at the template of the ‘Colonel’s Blood Boots’ we provided you. All four properties on them were carefully selected from among hundreds of different properties. But when you upgrade through the battlefield, you won’t get such a privilege. According to the latest statistics given by my data officer, the probability of getting such a gorgeous pair of ‘Colonel’s Blood Boots’ at the first try with pure luck is 0.0719%. Well, that’s not too low, is it?”

After listening carefully to Lieutenant General Mungo’s explanation, Sheyan paused for a moment and asked, “Then…can I only choose the boots?”

Lieutenant General Mungo hesitated for a short while before he answered, “To be honest with you, the resources we provide for the Realms aren’t enough to satisfy the quota to trade for high-rank Blood Weapons, but there are still several other options. If you don’t like the boots, you can also choose one from the cloak, helmet, necklace or ring.”

Lieutenant General Mungo’s momentary hesitation did not escape Sheyan’s eyes. Sheyan immediately questioned, “Is that right? Is there really nothing else? Let me take a look at the list in your hands.”

Lieutenant General Mungo smiled bitterly. Although he hesitated, he still handed over the list in the end. There were a list of items on it, but what was strange was that there were percentages behind the items.

“Boots (37%), Cloak (32%), Helmet (26%), Necklace (31%), Ring (31%).”

With Sheyan’s IQ, he quickly deduced that the percentages should be the proportion of the Big Ben Research Institute’s quota this year that needed to be consumed to make that particular piece of equipment. But Sheyan soon found at the back of the list the words “Armour (107%)”!

Sheyan immediately seized these key words and told Lieutenant General Mungo as he handed the list back, “I choose the armour.”

Mungo sighed. “My friend, that’s a complete misunderstanding. Those on the list I’ve shown you are all high-rank Colonel Blood Equipment, while what you see here is a high-rank Major General Blood Equipment! It can only be worn by an official Major General!”

Sheyan hesitated for a while, but he immediately realised that there was nothing to hesitate on. The armour that could only be equipped by an official Major General consumed more than 100% of the contribution quota of the Big Ben Research Institute. That was to say, not only would it take up all the contribution quota this year, it would also eat into 7% of next year’s quota! Even more insane was the fact that the contribution quota it consumed was almost three times that of a Colonel-rank Blood Equipment!

Sheyan retorted resolutely, “So? Promoting to a Major General isn’t that far away for me. Why can’t I have a Major General-rank armour? I currently have 241/1000 achievement points. If I make the deal with you, I can reduce the achievement points needed for the next promotion by 60%.”

“This means I only need 160 achievement points more to promote to a Major General. I’ve brought some unknown mysterious items back from Uplos in this trip, so I realistically only need 120-130 more! Please tell me a reason why I can’t choose the ‘Major General’s Blood Armor’?”

Large beads of sweat trickled down the side of Lieutenant General Mungo’s face. He wiped away his sweat and told Sheyan that he had to ask the people upstairs about this. Sheyan previously still harbored some suspicion that the man might have been trying to bait himself into selecting the ‘Major General’s Blood Armour’, but now it seemed like Mungo had really made a mistake….

Taking advantage of Lieutenant General Mungo’s absence, Sheyan immediately turned to Mungo’s busty female secretary and asked, “Can you ask Major General Fiji to come here? I have something I need to talk to him about. Time is tight. Please hurry up!”

The secretary seemed to be one of the rare elites who had developed chests and a developed brain at the same time (ED: lol). She immediately showed Sheyan a sweet smile and said, “I’m sorry, Colonel. Major General Fiji had already taken a spaceship to the Sydney Advance Base due to what happened just now. We can’t get in touch with him for the time being.”

Sheyan had actually put forward this request as a smokescreen. He wanted his request to be rejected by her. He immediately followed up with, “Fine. Then give me the details of this ‘Major General’s Blood Armour’. If you can’t even fulfill this request, I have reasons to believe that I’ve been treated unfairly, and I’ll immediately fly to the Sydney Advance Base!”

The tactic Sheyan utilised was a frequently-used strategy in sales. First, he put forward a request which was obviously impossible for the other party to agree to. After the other party refused, he then put forward his real request. Because of the previous rejection, the other party would have a delicate mentality. Considering the consequence of consecutive rejections, it would be hard for them to reject his real request.

This strategy is also useful in dates….

Should we find a room?

No!

Ok. How ’bout a kiss?

….

Bingo!

***

The busty female Lieutenant pondered on it and realised that if Sheyan went to the Sydney, she would probably be sent to military court. If she showed him the information, she would probably only end up in Mungo’s bed.

She chose the lesser of two evils. She agreed to Sheyan’s request.

Sheyan got his hands on the data of the ‘Major General’s Blood Armour’. There was not much detail. The defensive bonus, equipping requirements and material quality of the ‘Major General’s Blood Armour’ was probably standardised, so the information only listed the properties that he could choose from.

Option A was already so powerful that Sheyan was instantly shook: [ All attributes +30 (unique). This property will take priority over all other similar effects on any other equipment. That is to say, if the owner’s other equipment has the property of “all attributes +1”, “all attributes +5”, etc., they will all be made invalid by this property. ]

Option B also made Sheyan’s jaw drop: [ ‘Blessing Aura’ LVL 1 (The level of aura type abilities will increase following upgrades to the rank of the Blood Equipment. The effect listed here is only the most basic effect) – The owner’s HP is increased by 500. The HP of allies within 500 meters is increased by 250. The owner can specify the allies who will enjoy the aura buff. ]

Option C was somewhat similar to Option B: [ ‘Curse Aura’ LVL 1 – The probability of all enemies within 100 meters of the owner performing the lowest damage limit is increased by 30% (for example, if an enemy’s damage range is 201-301, then the lowest damage limit is 201). Whenever an enemy performs an explosive strike on the owner, 10% of the damage from the explosive strike will be converted to healing effect. ]

Option D also made Sheyan’s eyes light up: [ ‘Divine Punishment Aura’ LVL 1 – All enemies who cause damage to the owner will be punished by the will of the God of War, and immediately suffer 5 true damage. ]

But the one that shocked Sheyan the most was Option E, because Option E had two major features.

The first feature was that it had the word (rare) behind it!

The ‘Major General’s Blood Armour’ could have four properties on it at most. The “rare” tag meant that if he chose Option E, it would occupy the space of two properties, so there would only be a maximum of three properties on his ‘Major General’s Blood Armour’.

The second feature of Option E was that it was a passive ability, but when it was activated, it needed to consume utility points!

The name of Option E was:

‘Peerless’!
