Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Defying Fate

The equipment rules of the doomsday game clearly emerged in Fang Xiu's mind—

「Standard Equipment Slots: 11 slots」

- Weapon × 1

- Necklace × 1

- Ring × 2

- Gauntlets × 2

- Armors (Upper Garment/Head and Shoulder Piece/Trousers/Belt/Shoes) × 5

Once the equipment is placed in the slots, it will take effect without the need for actual wearing. Of course, you can hang ten gold chains around your neck to show off if you want, but the system only recognizes the one in the equipment slot.

"A love-struck fool deserves a bad end." Fang Xiu spat. He remembered that the original owner had given the only special treasure—the [Lucky Badge] that could increase the drop rate—to Su Wenya.

Now?

He stroked the two silver-grade treasures he had just obtained, and a ferocious smile curved the corners of his mouth.

 

The First Item: [Shadow Strike Dagger]

- Quality: Silver

- Special Effect: Backstab damage +30%

A cold light flowed along the blade's edge. Fang Xiu casually waved it—

"Whoosh!"

The bookshelf three meters away suddenly split into two halves, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.

"Not bad." He whistled, "Let's take a look at this one—"

 

The Second Item: [Talent Quality Upgrade Scroll]

- Can upgrade a talent below Grade C by one level

Without hesitation, Fang Xiu directly crushed the scroll and slapped it onto his newly awakened Grade F talent—

「Toughness」→「Steel Body」

- Grade: D → C

- Effect: Constitution +15 → Constitution +30, Physical Damage Reduction +5%

His muscles instantly swelled, and his bones made cracking sounds like popping beans. Fang Xiu could feel that now, even if a zombie bit him directly, his skin wouldn't be broken.

"That's more like it." He clenched his fists, "However..."

His gaze fell on the system prompt:

「Dimension interference detected」

「Compensation mechanism activated」

「Optional Rewards (Choose One from Three)」

1. Random S-grade talent (Consumes 2 units of dimensional power)

2. Random legendary equipment (1 unit)

3. Random legendary item (1 unit)

Fang Xiu's pupils contracted violently.

"Legendary grade?!" His voice trembled, "This is three grades higher than Platinum!"

In the doomsday game, the equipment grading is simple and straightforward:

Iron → Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum →?

And legendary items are definitely something that can crush Platinum-grade ones.

"Choose the talent!" He didn't hesitate. An S-grade talent meant the possibility of defying fate—

「Drawing in progress...」

「Obtained S-grade talent [Godslayer]」

- Damage to elite/chieftain-level enemies +50%

- For each elite enemy killed, all attributes +1

"Haha... Hahaha!" Fang Xiu suddenly burst into wild laughter, and the laughter echoed in the empty library, "Ye Tian! What can you use to compete with me?!"

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the corridor.

Five zombies crashed through the door, and their rotting faces were right in front of Fang Xiu's scarlet eyes—

"Just in time." He flicked his dagger, "I'll test this knife on you."

 

At the Emperor Hao Hotel in Shanghai

Tyrant suddenly frowned.

Just now, a golden prompt flashed across the system log:

「Player Fang Xiu obtained an S-grade talent」

"Interesting." He crushed the wine glass, letting the blood mix with the wine and drip down, "It seems that my toy... is more entertaining than I thought."

Outside the window, the moonlight was dyed red by the blood mist.
