Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 60 The Wasteland Fire Ring
"Let's all activate our ability crystals, and then... go home!"

The phrase "the gun moves like a dragon" is actually quite inspiring. Although we are only temporarily residing in Xicheng, we have lived here for quite some time, and the environment outside the city is so brutal. After killing insects all day, anyone would feel a sense of warmth when they think about life in Xicheng.

Indeed, for us wanderers, Xicheng is home.

Everyone lowered their heads and began to activate the supernatural crystals.

I activated the Sonic Beast's ability crystal first, and after a flash of light—

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Wasteland Cloak] (Quality: Blue)!

……

cloak?

I was slightly pleased. Cloaks and capes are things that players really like and that look cool. As a player, if you're going to roam the wilderness with a longsword in your hand, you'd be embarrassed to go out without a swaying cape behind you.

Inside the interdimensional storage space, a tattered cloak with a pale blue sheen lay quietly. Although the cloak was tattered, the hood was intact and could cover one's face, giving it a low-key yet luxurious and understated feel.

Upon inspection, the attributes were only average among blue-grade equipment.

【Wasteland Cloak】(Quality: Blue)
Rank: Second Tier

Defense: 25
Strength: +20
Specialty: Evasion +15
Strength required: 100
……

I was overjoyed. Although the stats of this Wasteland Cloak were just average, I had never equipped a cloak before, so all the upgrades provided by the Wasteland Cloak were starting from scratch. It was a huge win!
"Wow~~~"

A gust of wind blew by, and the cloak was already draped behind him, instantly giving him the aura of a master.

Afterwards, I took out the purple BOSS power crystal. I was a little excited and activated it directly. Immediately, I heard a very loud ding-dong sound!

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Wilderness Fire Ring] (Quality: Purple)!

……

Purple? A ring?!

My heart nearly stopped for a second! Is this the reward for being the biggest contributor to the first kill of the purple boss? This reward is just too generous!

Excited, he quickly took out the Wasteland Fire Ring. The ring was not exquisite, but had an ancient feel to it. The pendant on the ring was a ruby ​​so small that it could only be seen with a magnifying glass. But upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was not a ruby ​​at all, but a flame. This was probably the so-called "Wasteland Fire".

After a brief glance, the ring's attributes appeared—

[Wilderness Fire Ring] (Quality: Purple)
Rank: Second Tier

Strength: +30
Agility: +27
Blessing: Critical Hit Chance +4%
Blessing: Lifesteal +4%
Burst Skill: [Wilderness Flame] Summons the Wasteland Flame from the ring to protect the body, granting invincibility for 3 seconds. Consumes 50 Yuan Energy Points. Cooldown: 2 hours.
Details: A magical ring crafted by ancient artisans and sealed with a wisp of wildfire.
……

'Awesome...'

I was dumbfounded; this attribute is truly unparalleled!

In Star Abyss, ring slots may refresh two fixed blessing attributes: critical hit and life steal. The occurrence range of these two attributes for purple equipment is between 1% and 4%. As a result, the Wasteland Fire Ring has both attributes maxed out, making it undoubtedly a top-tier item.

In addition, there is even a burst skill that summons the wasteland fire!

This is absolutely shocking!
Invincibility skill, as the name suggests, makes you invincible when activated...

Although the invincibility period only lasts for a brief 3 seconds, true masters can do a lot within those 3 seconds. For example, I can activate a bio-electromagnetic pulse within 3 seconds to blind the enemy, and then enter a bio-optical invisibility state to escape. This is actually similar to the invincibility effect in Hearthstone!
In short, the appearance of the Wasteland Fire Ring undoubtedly gave me a sense of confidence, the confidence to go to the meeting alone, or at the very least, to use invincibility to escape, and in my youthful impetuosity, to use invincibility to kill!
This ring is extraordinary; it is undoubtedly the strongest piece of equipment in Star Abyss right now, bar none!

Moreover, its attributes are so exceptional that even for a long time to come, the purple ring will likely remain unmatched.

but……

I didn't wear the Wasteland Fire Ring directly; the purple light was too conspicuous and couldn't be hidden.

……

"What did everyone get?" Gunshot Like a Dragon asked, looking at the crowd.

"A blue robe imbued with spiritual power, not bad," the Milk Tea Life-Extending Immortal chuckled.

"Blue equipment is worth it."

"My purple ability crystal also yielded blue equipment, a ring with 2 points of critical strike chance, which is quite good," said the spear-wielding expert.

The others also responded, and most of them were equipped with blue gear.

Soon, everyone's attention fell on me. I was the one who caused the most damage to Razer, so my chances of getting a super rare item from this purple ability crystal were the highest.

However, I didn't intend for everyone to know that I had obtained a purple item.

"Blue cloak, for increasing evasion."

I turned around and said, "Look, it's already on."

"Cough cough..."

"The blue cloak is also quite nice; it will make you even more powerful," said the spear-wielding dragon.

The others actually gave me sympathetic looks.

Indeed, after spending so many bullets and effort, all you get in the end is a blue cloak. It's a bit hard to admit, but that's how it's set up in Star Abyss. Dealing more damage does increase the chance of getting a top-tier item, but it doesn't mean it's 100% guaranteed to be a top-tier item.

"Go back."

With a deep breath, Qiang Chu Rulong led everyone back.

I held the submachine gun close to my chest, remaining fully alert. As for why I didn't reveal the purple ring, the reason is simple: don't use your wealth to challenge human greed. My current equipment is mostly blue, which is enough to make many people envious, but not enough to warrant taking the risk.

But if people knew I had a purple ring, and such a super rare one at that, things would be hard to say. After leaving the Wailing Hive and getting into the truck, the trailer swayed and began its return journey.

The sun was setting outside, and by the time they returned to Xicheng, it would probably be dark already.

"Ding Han".

Gunshot Like a Dragon: "How many explosive grenades did you use in total?"

"Four in total, not many."

"Row."

He quickly gathered four grenades from the others and handed them to me, saying with a smile, "It was a very pleasant collaboration this time. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again next time."

"Okay, thank you!"

I accepted the grenade.

"We should be thanking you."

Gunshot Like a Dragon said, "To be honest, if we hadn't invited you, it would have been almost 100% impossible to succeed in conquering this place. We underestimated the power within the Wailing Hive, underestimated the strength of the Liskarms, and never expected that we would need to wipe out a lineup of two bosses in the end."

I smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

The members of the Crimson Sky Alliance cast friendly glances at me. The reason was simple: although it seemed that I was the biggest beneficiary of this campaign against the Purple Thunder Serpent, having obtained a top-tier ring like the Wasteland Fire Seed Ring, the real beneficiary was actually the Crimson Sky Alliance.

Gun Out Like a Dragon is an ambitious man. He accepted a mission from a high-ranking NPC to become the behind-the-scenes boss of the Xicheng player black market, gathering player power, all in order to strengthen the Chixiao Alliance. At this time, the Chixiao Alliance had taken the first kill of the purple BOSS, and this news would soon spread throughout the dark web. For the Chixiao Alliance, this kind of boost in popularity was something that money couldn't buy. This is why Gun Out Like a Dragon is so grateful to me.

……

"drop!"

A WeChat message from Lu Xiaobei: "You're still not back? I'm starving..."

Following that was the expression of a little girl rubbing her sleepy eyes.

I replied, "I'm on my way back, but it will take at least two and a half hours to get to Xicheng. I'll probably be at the internet cafe around 7:30. Do you want to wait for me? If you do, I'll treat you to hot pot."

"Then we have to wait..."

She excitedly sent a voice message: "I'll wait for you until the end of time! Until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble!"

I was speechless. Was it really worth it for a little food?
The journey was bumpy, and everyone was quiet.

Only the Milk Tea Life-Sustaining Immortal looked up at the sky and said, "The sky here is still so nice, but the weather forecast says that the weather in Xicheng is not good these days. Typhoon 'Ginkgo' is about to make landfall."

"Don't worry too much."

Another player from the Crimson Cloud Alliance said, "Ginkgo won't log in until tomorrow afternoon. Let's go back to Xicheng today and not go out tomorrow. We can stay in bed with our girlfriends and play on our phones."

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Gunshot Dragon asked.

"no……"

The player looked at everyone in astonishment: "We players have descended into the Star Abyss World, and in many ways we're at a disadvantage. Is it really that hard to pick up a girl, guys?"

The milk tea-fueled immortal touched his nose: "I don't have any."

Gunshot Like a Dragon: Speechless. "I don't have any either."

I was embarrassed and didn't say anything. Of course, I didn't have any more. I only had a 23-year-old beautiful boss and a very aloof female tenant.

Speaking of the female tenant, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen Lin Qingying. She gets off work late and goes to work a little later than me, so our schedules seem to have diverged.

……

We arrived in Xicheng around 7 p.m.

Only then did I switch back to normal mode and casually equip the Wasteland Fire Ring. In an instant, my overall combat power level skyrocketed to 1502 points, far surpassing other players at this stage. The reason for the surge in combat power level was probably related to 4 points of critical hit, life steal, and 3 seconds of invincibility!

Night fell, and the wind picked up.

The wind outside made the internet cafe's sign whistle and sway constantly.

"Lu Xiaobei, let's go eat, quick!"

"okay!"

She was already prepared, wearing a white coat and a red scarf, looking absolutely stunning. She rushed out and said, "I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"Come on, order as much beef as you like!"

"you said!"

Soon after, the two rushed into a beef hot pot restaurant and ate and drank to their hearts' content. After they were full, I took Lu Xiaobei back to the internet cafe before returning to my own place.

……

The living room was pitch black at night.

Lin Qingying hadn't come home yet. I glanced out the window; the wind and rain had already begun to rage.

　The issue of excessively high housing prices in Chapter 26 has been revised. The rent is now 800. It should be noted that the prices in this book are not based on 2003. Ding Han's low salary is because Lu Xiaobei is stingy. For example, Ding Han's next salary will be 6000.

　　In addition, the issue of the overly kind character in Chapter 32 has been corrected, and the content in Chapters 47, 50, 51, and 52 regarding the female lead being too much like a female tenant has been completely revised. I just finished reading that book, and I might have been unconsciously influenced by it. All revisions are now complete. I welcome everyone's continued criticism. Please remember to criticize in the chapter comments, not in the lobby. The lobby is the face of this book and needs to be kept clean. My hands are very dirty.
