I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1118: Drop Rate_1 Chapter 1116: Chapter 1118: Drop Rate_1 Being able to level up twice already made Song Jian feel surprised, even without the reward of this epic treasure chest, he felt the mission was well worth it. But who doesn't hope for more and richer rewards?

Song Jian took the epic treasure chest and was about to open it when he saw the veteran soldier Vayne descending from the rocks with some difficulty, propping himself up with a crutch and slowly walking away into the distance, his hunched figure looking somewhat desolate.

All his comrades had fallen in battle, leaving only him, severely wounded. If it weren't for his desire to avenge his comrades, Vayne might have followed them long ago.

Having lost his right leg, his life would probably be tough from now on!

“Vayne, are you interested in settling in the City of Hope?” Song Jian suddenly shouted, “The invasion of Abyssal Hell has already begun, and humanity might face total annihilation; I hope you could come to the City of Hope and continue to fight for humanity!”

Vayne stopped, turned his head, and smiled, “I am just a severely injured old soldier, and I've also lost a leg, I'm afraid I can't be of much help to you.”

“Your battle experience is a valuable asset,” Song Jian shouted. “You can help me train new recruits, they're all good lads who need someone to guide them and impart some battlefield experience!”

On Vayne's wrinkled face appeared a smile. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, “Alright, if you don't mind having a disabled old soldier as a burden, I am willing to share some battlefield experience with those recruits. Those little tricks might save their lives in future battles!”

Song Jian smiled, nodded, and glancing at Vayne's disabled right leg, said, “Although the City of Hope is just a city newly established, there are also a few master engineers who have settled there. We'll get you a mechanical right leg, guaranteed to be better than the one you had before…”
“Hahaha, I'm looking forward to it!” Vayne laughed happily.

Back at the City Lord Mansion, Song Jian opened his mission reward, the epic treasure chest. Inside this palm-sized box there was only one item, which appeared to be a badge.

“Falcon Medal (Epic), Accessory, Item Level 65, Equipment Effect: All attributes +15, Critical Hit Rate increased by 3%, Critical Damage increased by 10%; Special Effect 1: Hero (Passive), increases the prestige of the human faction by 3000 points, resilience increased by 5%; Special Effect 2: Afterimage (Passive), during combat, there is a chance to trigger an afterimage effect, making it impossible for the target to lock onto your figure, increasing your own evasion by 10%, this effect lasts for 10 seconds with no cooldown; Special Effect 3: Inspire (Active), once used, all attributes of oneself and teammates within 100 meters increase by 15%, and movement speed by 30%, lasts for 20 seconds; this skill can only be used once per hour; Item Description: This is a treasured collection of an old soldier, the highest honor earned with blood and life, it records the loyalty and risks of a lifetime of a soldier! Equipment Requirement: Complete the corresponding mission, obtain the approval of the medal's former owner; Can be taken out of the game: Yes.”

Seeing the attributes of this badge, Song Jian's eyes lit up instantly; it was an item that could be taken out of the game, and an epic-level item at that, which was simply unbelievable.

One ought to know that most items that could be taken out of the game currently were low-level items, like basic potions, white-quality equipment, and the like. Not to mention epic-level, even gold or silver-level items that could be taken out of the game were extremely rare.

In the real world, some people even specialized in collecting these items, and each one was priced sky-high. After all, bereft of equipment bonuses, players' strength in the real world had greatly decreased, making them prone to misjudging their own and others' capabilities in a fight, which could lead to loss of life.

In the real world, if this epic-level equipment was used well, it could definitely turn the tide.

Song Jian glanced at his accessory slot and, after a moment of hesitation, removed the Claw of the Harpy and replaced it with the Falcon Medal.

After all, the Claw of the Harpy was only a level 40 silver-grade piece of equipment, and its special effect was too specific, being effective only against Harpies. Whether in terms of attribute bonuses or effects, it was far inferior to the Falcon Medal.

Once he equipped the Falcon Medal, Song Jian first disabled the medal's quality glow. Without its luminance, the Falcon Medal appeared unremarkable, as though it were just an old, useless medal that had been lying around for a long time. By now, Song Jian was somewhat eager to test out the effects of the medal.

Just then, Wang Qi walked into the City Lord Mansion with a grave expression and said to Song Jian, “My Lord, traces of Abyss creatures have been discovered one kilometer outside the City of Hope!”

“Abyss creatures? Within a kilometer range?” Song Jian's eyebrows rose as he said, “If I remember correctly, all the instances within ten kilometers have been destroyed by us. Where did these Abyss creatures come from?”

“I'm having it investigated…” Wang Qi said, “The Abyss creatures that appeared this time are of only one kind, and their numbers are not great. I suspect they didn't come from a nearby Abyss Fortress but rather strayed accidentally from the main force!”

With that, Wang Qi shared the properties of the discovered Abyss creatures with Song Jian.

“Abyss Hyena, common quality, level 45, Vitality Points 12000/12000.”

After a glance, Song Jian nodded slightly. Abyss Hyenas were among the lowest ranking creatures in the Abyssal Hell, usually just food for other Abyss creatures. Under normal circumstances, these level 45 creatures could only survive in the most hostile areas of Abyssal Hell.

Wang Qi's conjecture made sense, but they still needed to investigate thoroughly. If they found an Abyss Fortress that had evolved from an Abyssal Instance, they would have to destroy it on sight.

The Abyss creatures currently dispatched were mostly just scouts, or to put it more bluntly, cannon fodder. The truly terrifying Abyss creatures had not yet emerged. They had to wait until the Abyssal Passage became more stable and wider; only then would the more fearsome creatures of the Abyss appear.

At that moment, a buzz came through the guild channel. Song Jian opened it to find that one of the guild members sent to investigate the Abyss Hyenas was boasting about a piece of equipment they had just acquired.

“Hey, brothers, we killed over a dozen Abyss Hyenas and they dropped three level 40 gold equipment pieces, along with quite a few silver-grade items. The drop rate of these Abyss creatures is simply astonishing, and the quality of the spoils is unbelievably high!”

As he spoke, the player shared the stats of a level 40 gold-grade piece of equipment, instantly drawing many onlookers. It was worth noting that most of the guild members were below level 45 at the time, so a level 40 gold-grade piece was a significant improvement over what most were wearing, which was also why he would show it off.

Song Jian was startled. Over a dozen monsters had dropped three gold-grade pieces; the drop rate was indeed frightening. Could it be that the Abyss invasion storyline had increased the loot drop rates? If that was the case, the Abyss invasion wouldn't be a disaster for the players but a feast!

With that thought, Song Jian turned to Wang Qi and said, “Send out more people to scout the surrounding Abyss creatures and see just how high the drop rate is for hunting these beings!”
