Chapter 61 Crimson Equipment

This time the Vampire Knight didn’t create any feed, but the previous feed hadn’t expired yet. It was just that after such a cycle, the effect would be slightly reduced.

But no matter how much it decreased, allowing it to exchange health percentages with the Boss was absolutely unacceptable. Ye Xiu and the others had already charged forward after the Vampire Knight completed its combination, continuing their encirclement. Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian continued to be their audience on the side.

Repeatedly, the Vampire Knight's health was finally about to drop to 10%, but no one was worried about its red blood state. This was because the Vampire Knight's red blood berserk mode, which produced new feed, wouldn't replace the old feed. Theoretically, it could bite all five people into feed, so hitting anyone would restore health.

But now, with Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's operations, the Vampire Knight's bat swarm transformation was useless. This change in skill settings didn't need to be considered.

The red-blooded Vampire Knight roared and struggled a few times, but finally died under the trio's attacks. With a thud, everything it could drop fell out. Ye Xiu glanced over and didn't see the scarlet Vampire Light Sword, but he wasn't too disappointed.

This was an orange weapon, extremely dependent on luck. If you didn't treat it with a calm mind, it was easy to doubt your character and lose hope in life.

"Wow! Double purple eggs!" Su Mucheng exclaimed in surprise at this moment.

Ye Xiu was taken aback. "Double purple eggs" was a saying in Glory, specifically referring to equipment drops from a monster that included two purple items. By analogy, "double blue eggs," "triple purple eggs," and "quad orange eggs" could all be used, as long as you actually encountered them.

The probability of a "double purple egg" was naturally not high, but among the equipment that the Vampire Knight could drop, Ye Xiu only needed the Vampire Light Sword. As for the rest, even if it dropped eight purple eggs, he wouldn't be excited.

"It's a shield and a cape," Tian Qi said after looking at them.

Only knights could use shields after job advancement. Generally, there were two basic attributes: defense enhancement and damage absorption, both of which improved survivability. The one dropped by the Vampire Knight was his Vampire Emblem Shield, with 20% defense enhancement and 12% damage absorption, plus an additional attribute: converts 2% of damage received into health.

"Not bad," Ye Xiu praised. "Give it to that... what's-his-name!" Ye Xiu was referring to Tian Qi's partner. Qian Shengli was a knight and Mu Yunzhen was a swordsman, but Ye Xiu couldn't remember which one was the knight, so he just said "what's-his-name."

"There's also a Vampire Cape, +15 to stamina, +15 to strength, 2% lifesteal on melee damage," Tian Qi said. This "lifesteal" and the "blood conversion" on the shield were antonyms. Lifesteal converted damage inflicted on the opponent into your own health, while blood conversion converted damage received from the opponent into health.

Capes were accessories that usually had basic attribute bonuses and a special effect. Currently, all five of them were physical attack classes, so anyone could use this strength-boosting cape. However, Tian Qi hadn't done anything in the fight against the Vampire Knight, so he was too embarrassed to ask for it and gave up. Yue Zhongmian, on the other hand, became feed, allowing the three experts to focus on attacking the Boss, which was no small contribution, but he was too ashamed to calculate this merit and also gave up.

Su Mucheng's Wind Following the Dusk was a ranged character, so the 2% melee damage lifesteal was completely wasted, and she also gave up.

In the end, only Ye Xiu and Tang Rou were left. Ye Xiu didn't care about these low-level equipment and gave up immediately. Tang Rou was confused: "Why is everyone giving up?"

"I'm ranged!" Su Mucheng's reason was the most reasonable.

"Ahem..." Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian didn't say anything. If no one really wanted it, they wouldn't mind rolling for it.

"You use it!" Ye Xiu said.

"You guys can all use it, right?" Although Tang Rou was a newbie, she knew that physical classes needed strength and magic classes needed intelligence. She couldn't have played for so many days without understanding these basic things. This cape could obviously be used by everyone, but they all gave up, and the competitive Tang Rou didn't want to take this advantage.

"Let's roll for it!" Tang Rou said.

"Alright, alright, let's roll, let's all roll, whoever rolls the highest gets it." It was a small matter, and Ye Xiu didn't dwell on it.

Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian wanted to decline, but Ye Xiu was quick. Since they had all given up earlier, they couldn't use the roll command, so they used the command in the chat channel to roll. Ye Xiu rolled first, a magnificent 100, directly killing everyone without any dispute.

"Uh..."

"It's yours." Tang Rou had also given up earlier. The cape was dropped on the ground and no one picked it up.

Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian were in tears. They still wanted to decline, and if everyone continued to insist, they would reluctantly roll! But as expected of Expert Bro! Whatever he did, he was so extraordinary, so unforgiving to others...

"It's mine," Ye Xiu said, having Lord Grim pick up the cape. Although it was low-level equipment, he wouldn't mind it or dislike it, right? He picked up the cape and immediately equipped it. This vampire's outfit was more like a cloak than a cape. From behind, Lord Grim looked exactly like the Vampire Knight.

Ye Xiu opened the character panel and casually looked at the appearance. He didn't care too much. He had worn all kinds of outfits over the years.

"Continue, continue," Ye Xiu shouted, and the team continued to advance. Since the hidden Boss had appeared, records were no longer important. Everyone had run this dungeon many times and was familiar with it, so they easily cleared it.

Without much rest, they continued for the second time. This time, there was no hidden Boss, so everyone immediately entered record-breaking mode. Ye Xiu directed the entire process, striving for zero mistakes and perfect cooperation. However, Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian were slightly inferior in skill and equipment, and there were always some areas where they couldn't keep up. The current dungeon records were also painstakingly set by the various guilds at level 27, so breaking them couldn't be done carelessly.

In two consecutive dungeon runs, Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian each made some mistakes, both big and small, during the tense record-breaking process. As a result, the scores they achieved were only a hair's breadth away from the record. This result was too embarrassing. They both knew that if they reduced their mistakes slightly, they would have already broken the record.

"Cough... Expert Bro, it seems like the two of us aren't good enough. Should we have you switch to someone else to break the record?" Tian Qi said awkwardly. Burial Grounds could only be run four times a day, and the five of them currently had one run left.

Yue Zhongmian was a hundred times unconvinced, but there was nothing he could do. The fact was that he and Tian Qi couldn't keep up. But if the team slowed down the pace to make it easier for the two of them, they wouldn't be able to meet the requirements for breaking the record.

"Switch people? Aren't you the one who wanted to break the record?" Ye Xiu asked Tian Qi.

Tian Qi was in tears. He finally remembered that he was the one who asked if they could break the record, but now he was the one backing down. He was really spineless. Even Yue Zhongmian took the opportunity to despise him: "Yeah, Tian Qi, you're really useless."

"Damn!" Tian Qi cursed, "We'll definitely do it this time."

The two of them cheered up and entered the dungeon for the fourth time. Concentrating and focusing all their attention, combined with their previous experience, their performance was finally smooth all the way. They were both delighted. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the final Boss. This was an easy part for the two of them, where it was more difficult to make a mistake than not to make a mistake. Finally, when the Boss fell, the long-awaited system announcement popped up: Congratulations to players Lord Grim, Tian Qi, Yue Zhongmian, Soft Mist, and Wind Following the Dusk for breaking the record for clearing the Burial Grounds dungeon, with a time of 23 minutes, 54 seconds, and 71 milliseconds.

This score was only slightly improved compared to Tyrannical Ambition's previous record, but with Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian dragging them down, improving by more than a minute was already good for this team configuration. Currently, when the major guilds competed with each other, improvements in scores were calculated in seconds.

It wasn't surprising that the record for Burial Grounds was broken, but the fact that Lord Grim's name appeared made it very different. The first reaction of the guild leaders was: which guild hired someone to break the record again? Blue River of Blue Brook Guild and Ye Du Han Tan of Tyrannical Ambition both immediately sent messages to ask.

Ye Xiu's reply to them was: Just casually leveling up.

The two guild leaders were in tears! They casually broke their record while leveling up. Was this a demonstration or something?

Besides them, there was also Liu Hao. His Grievance also hadn't logged off. What was he doing? Playing in the arena with Steamed Bun Invasion.

Liu Hao just casually messaged Grievance, and learned that Steamed Bun Invasion was actually playing in the arena again. An idea struck him, and he ran over to fight Steamed Bun Invasion again. Direct contact with Ye Qiu wouldn't reveal anything, so it was better to start with the people around him. Liu Hao thought this was a good idea.

Playing against Steamed Bun Invasion in the arena was also quite tiring for Liu Hao. He had to hide his strength! But he didn't want to hide it too much, so he tried to create close matches every time. Steamed Bun Invasion wasn't weak, so it was hard to control. Liu Hao was also working hard. While carefully fighting, he was also trying to get some information from Steamed Bun Invasion.

Steamed Bun Invasion was very forthcoming, but the problem was that he didn't know anything himself. He wasn't even very familiar with Glory. He described the dungeon runs unclearly, and couldn't even name many of the skills that others had used. In the end, he just described how powerful he was.

Liu Hao analyzed the information he had extracted from the newbie's mouth in a very obscure way, but couldn't make heads or tails of it. Suddenly, a system notification flashed, and the name that was extremely sensitive to him quickly caught his eye.

How could this be???

Liu Hao was surprised. Wasn't this Steamed Bun Invasion the main member of Ye Qiu's record-breaking team? Why wasn't he called this time? Liu Hao came to find Steamed Bun Invasion to play, partly because of this reason: following Steamed Bun Invasion might allow him to join the team.

"Why... why didn't the God call you to break the record?" Liu Hao asked Steamed Bun Invasion.

"Remember, to win in the arena, the first thing you need to do is to focus. You're too unfocused," Steamed Bun Invasion taught.

"Damn!!!" Liu Hao was angry. What was this guy? How dare he teach him!
