Chapter 1210: Invisible Killer [End]
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After looking through the first two items, Zhang Heng shifted his gaze to the third item. This was also the item he was most familiar with. He had already seen its rough attributes at the auction; furthermore, bought and used it more than once in the game.
[Name: Escape Dagger]
[Rarity: C]
[Effect: Teleport to a designated location within a 20-meter radius. Remaining usage: 3. Cooldown: 60 seconds. Wear the dagger and lock onto the target location. Focus and activate.]
This was the jumping dagger that Zhang Heng was familiar with. He had previously displayed this C-grade item at the auction. In the end, it was sold for more than 2,000 points. In exchange, it was quite expensive for only a 3 three-time usage item. However, even though Ding Si only commented that there was a slight premium in trade, when it came to using it, no one felt that the price was not worth it.
In the game, the jumping knife was usually used as a tool to quickly cut into the battlefield, and once it was attacked, the jumping knife could not be used. However, as a tool with supernatural powers, [Escape Dagger] did not have such a restriction; thus, it became the real [Escape Dagger].
Not only could this C-grade item be used to quickly cut into the battlefield and launch sneak attacks like in the game, but it could also be used to escape in times of danger. It was the perfect life-saving tool that almost all players dreamed of. After all, no matter how valuable the points were, it was not as valuable as their own lives.
By now, Zhang Heng had finished looking through three game items, two of which were C-grade and one D-grade. It wasn’t a bad harvest, but one had to know that he had killed Loki, the famous god of lies and pranks in Norse mythology, and thus, in terms of popularity, was more than half a bar higher than the White Horse Knight, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
However, the drop rate he had displayed was far inferior to that of Plague, the White Horse Knight. After killing Plague, he had provided Zhang Heng with a B-grade item and a C-grade item, while Loki had only dropped two C and one D-grade. More importantly, it was all unclear for [Pet Wire]. At least two C-grade items, [Escape Dagger] and [Adventurer’s Lamp], didn’t seem to belong to him.
Therefore, Zhang Heng picked up the fourth item and frowned.
[Name: Leaf full of life (Fake)]
[Rarity: F]
[Effect: A drink made from the leaf would help its drinker feel comfortable. If there are any illnesses, they can be slightly alleviated. There will also be a small increase in spirit, but in reality, it will not make the drinker healthier. The effect lasts one hour. PS: No Matter who the Creator is, it will be very boring.]
This F-grade item was the one that Zhang Heng bought that suited Loki’s style the most. He believed that no one else would be shameless enough to create something like this to play with others other than the god of lies and pranks. All the descriptions were basically useless.
After Zhang Heng took it, he immediately soaked it in a cup of water and drank it. He had to admit that the appearance of this leaf was pretty good, especially when it was in the cup. It looked very elegant when fully stretched out, not to mention how green it remained even after it was put in the cup. It did not seem to be affected by the hot water at all.
However, after Zhang Heng took a sip, he realized that the effect of this thing was too weak. Not to mention using it as a temporary adrenaline, even if he wanted to use it as a temporary Yunnan Baiyao, it was difficult to achieve the desired effect by relieving the pain in one’s body when one was injured. As described in the description of the medicine, it could only be used to make people feel comfortable.
Zhang Heng even suspected that the reason for its existence was that Loki had created it to mock the various health supplements that were now flying around everywhere.
However, when he thought of this, Zhang Heng’s expression changed because he realized that he seemed to understand how to use this item.
So, Zhang Heng said goodbye to the bartender and reached into the metal bucket at the side, taking out the [Pet Wire] that he had thrown in earlier.
He discovered a row of teeth marks at the bottom of the metal bucket, and the other parts of the area seemed thinner.
“You have no teeth on a piece of metal wire. How did you manage to gnaw on it like that?”
Of course, [Pet Wire] didn’t know how to speak. It was still as lazy as before, but it was no longer listless due to boredom. It was more like it didn’t want to move after it had had its fill.
Therefore, Zhang Heng was about to throw it back into the tule wooden box to be left alone, but he was stopped by the bartender. “I’m unfamiliar with its habits, but I can sense that it doesn’t like to be locked in a confined space. If you really want to develop a relationship with it, even though I think it’s a bit silly… it’s best that you don’t lock it in the box.”
“Thank you.”
After saying that, Zhang Heng copied Loki and stuffed [Pet Wire] into his pocket. Then, he took the other three items that had just been appraised.
At this time, the bartender said, “This time, you completed the regular dungeon much earlier than before. After that… do you have something to do?”
“Summer vacation is coming. I’m ready to go home, so I’ll finish playing this month’s game ahead of time.”
Even though the bartender had helped him in the abandoned underground subway line before, Zhang Heng still didn’t fully understand the relationship between the two, so he didn’t reveal his upcoming Greenland trip.
So the bartender gave him another deep look and stretched. “Alright, looks like we’ll see each other again in a month or so.”
“Have a good holiday.”
“Have a good holiday. I’m going to buy a new ice bucket after work,” the bartender muttered.
When he walked out of the bar, Zhang Heng knew that everything could come to an end temporarily, whether it was the proxy war or the regular dungeon. He was finally going to welcome the long-prepared trip to Greenland, which was the beginning of everything. All signs pointed to the place where his parents had met him.
In other words, that was probably his hometown. Although the place where the expedition team had gone was said to be devoid of any human habitation within a hundred-mile radius, it was hard to imagine that a baby could survive such a harsh natural environment, and because of that, Zhang Heng needed to go there personally to find out the answer.
He had a feeling that this trip would change his life completely. However, Zhang Heng also knew that he had no way out. His emotions had been exhausted, and some things could not be avoided just because he wanted to.
Before that, though, he still had one last thing to do.
