“Oh, it looks like you guys have good luck. There’s even a silver-quality equipment inside 1” The guide looked at the three of them in surprise, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes, secretly thinking: “Are the favored ones really so blessed?”

You should know that the reason why the casino has a big payout of three to one is mainly because the probability of losing in the final reward is higher. Many people win in the casino, but often don’t even get a single blue-quality equipment. If there’s a green-quality one, it’s considered good luck. Most of them are white-quality equipment.

What the guide didn’t expect was that this fighting club dungeon had been cleared countless times by NPCs in other places, but here, in this Zombie City, it was Song Jian and his friends’ first time clearing it, so the rewards were naturally different.

Soon, the guide took out a bead emitting a silver light from the treasure chest. This bead was only the size of a fingertip, round and smooth, like a pearl.

“It’s a hidden weapon, and its attributes are top-notch!” The guide glanced at the attributes of the bead in his hand, with a trace of greed in his eyes. Even at level 30, he found the bead’s attributes tempting.

“Soul Shattering Bead (Silver): Hidden weapon, off-hand weapon, equipped effect: Agility + 2, attack speed increased by 15%; Special effect 1: Causes 80 damage to targets within 30 meters, causing 3 seconds of stun effect; Special effect 2: Charging (passive), after equipping this item, critical hit rate increases by 1% every 60 seconds, up to 100%, after dealing damage to a target, it needs to be charged again; Special effect 3: This item can automatically return to the equipment slot 10 seconds after use; Special effect 4: This item has a guaranteed hit attribute, with priority; Equipment requirement: Level 10. Can be taken out of the game: No.”

“What a pity, this hidden weapon requires an off-hand equipment slot, otherwise, its rank could have been raised to the gold rank.” The guide shook his head slightly, with a somewhat regretful tone.

Ordinary hidden weapons are usually placed in the inventory, and most of them are single-use items, disappearing after being used. However, this “Soul Shattering Bead” has the attributes of equipment, placed in the off-hand equipment slot, can enhance attributes, and even has the ability to auto retrieve itself. It can be compared to a silver-quality off-hand weapon.

“Wow, this is a good item!” Gao Da Nian looked somewhat envious. Although his main weapon was a two-handed polearm, he could still place an item on his main and off-hand slots. Each player can freely switch between three weapons.

This equipment tempted Song Jian as well. He couldn’t use the chest armor he found earlier, so he gave it up, but this off-hand weapon, though it conflicted with his green-quality Guardian’s Sword, seemed like a shame not to take.

Seeing Lin Sheng’s eager desire, Song Jian smiled faintly, holding the “Soul Shattering Bead” and said, “There’s still equipment inside the treasure chest, let’s see what the next one is!’”

The opening of the treasure chest was still emitting a silver light, and the guide’s eyes showed shock. One reward consisting of three silver-quality equipment was unprecedented in the hundreds of battles they had seen.

“There’s another silver*quality equipment. Your luck is really…” The guide was somewhat speechless. Such gains even made him a little tempted.

The third piece of equipment was a small silver-lit briefcase.

“This is…” The guide s eyes were filled with astonishment as he stared intently at the small briefcase in his hand. “A portable, mobile alchemy workbench?” “Alchemy workbench?” Song Jian’s heart moved. He had learned two auxiliary skills, one was the blueprint for the “T-11 High-Explosive Hand Grenade”, which couldn’t be used due to lack of engineering at the time, and before obtaining the blueprint, Song Jian had learned alchemy first, even getting a potion formula for the Wealmess Potion. However, he still hadn’t crafted it due to a lack of an item like the Engineering Crafting Table.¹¹

“I didn’t expect that this dungeon would bring me both of the missing auxiliary tools. Should I choose the Soul Shattering Bead or this mobile, portable alchemy workbench?” Song Jian hesitated for a moment.

Lin Sheng wasn’t too interested in the alchemy workbench. He briefly looked at the workbench’s attributes, curled his lips, and gave up on the item, with his eyes fixed on the Soul Shattering Bead in Song Jian’s hand, showing a pitiful expression.

If the Soul Shattering Bead was placed in Gao Da Nian or Song Jian’s hands, it would at most be just another tool for drawing aggro, but in Lin Sheng’s hands, it could produce 200% of its effect. This equipment increased agility by 2 points and attack speed by 15%, and none of its special effects were useless, all of them were first-class.

Although the use of this Soul Shattering Bead would mean giving up an off-hand weapon, for Lin Sheng, he only needed a main-hand dagger for all his skills. This bead could even act as his trump card.

“Brother Song…” Lin Sheng looked at Song Jian pitifully, hoping he would choose the alchemy workbench.

“Silver equipment is common, but silver-quality workbenches, I haven’t seen one in decades. I didn’t expect one to appear here.” The guide shakes his head and speaks in a low voice.

Song Jian looked up at the guide, weighed it for a while, and eventually handed the “Soul Shattering Bead” to Lin Sheng.

“Thanks, Brother Song!” Lin Sheng was extremely happy. Although he couldn’t equip it yet, looking at the attributes of the “Soul Shattering Bead”, he couldn’t help but laugh foolishly.

“A level 10 off-hand weapon, not bad!” Gao Da Nian spoke enviously. His silver-quality chest armor was also a level 10 equipment, but generally speaking, in the same rank of equipment, weapons were worth more than armor.

“Congratulations, you might become an alchemy master in the future!” The guide laughed and handed the small briefcase to Song Jian.

Song Jian gave a slight smile, nodding at him. Up to now, he still didn’t know if choosing a silver-quality alchemy workbench was a wise decision.

Bang*

After the three silver-quality equipment were taken out, the treasure chest in the center of the ring suddenly burst, turning into light gold fragments and slowly disappearing in mid-air. As the treasure chest burst, the remaining items in it sprayed into the sky like a shower of celestial flowers.

“Wow, there are so many rewards!” Gao Da Nian was amazed, watching the dozen or so items falling slowly from the sky.

“They’re all w^Thite-quality items, mostly materials. Ugh, it’s so messy. There’s a bit of everything!” Lin Sheng randomly grabbed an item, checked its attributes, and frowned slightly.

‘Haha, let’s not divide these items, whoever grabs them first gets them. Haha!” Song Jian laughed heartily and leaped to grab an item and put it into his inventory.

“You guys are cheating!’’ Gao Da Nian let out a strange cry and pounced towards the falling items in the sky.

The guide gave a faint smile, looked at Lin Sheng’s back, and slowly walked towards the exit of the ring.
