Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 79 The Armor of the Hymn (Supplement 15)

Three consecutive rings startled the listener!
"Finally done!"

Cai Cai said excitedly, "Brothers, let's open up the superpower crystals and see what good stuff comes out!"

So, I glanced at my extradimensional storage space and found a blue robe inside. Ignoring that for now, I reached out and took out the BOSS power crystal and opened it immediately!

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

……

'Holy crap, a blue breastplate?!'

The moment I saw the equipment name, I was overjoyed. I was currently wearing a Tier 1 green Unsleeper Breastplate, which was of a very low grade and was green, which greatly affected my personal stats and overall appearance!
So, he hurriedly took out the Hymn Armor, and after his gaze lingered for three seconds, strands of text and numbers floated out!

[Hymn Armor] (Quality: Blue)
Rank: Second Tier

Defense: 45
Strength: +20
Blessing: Damage reduction +4%
Blessing: Fortitude-I, increases defense by 50 points.
Blessing: Resilience, increases your maximum health by 1000 points.

Strength required: 250
……

"Depend on……"

I frowned. Aren't these stats a little too good?!

Not only does it have 45 points of defense and 20 points of strength, this Hymn Armor actually has three top-tier attributes!
In addition to 4% damage reduction and 1000 maximum health, it also has a top-tier armor attribute of "Sturdy-I"!

In Star Abyss, equipment has a certain chance of having armor-enhancing attributes. Based on the attribute's quality, similar to attack attributes, it is divided into three tiers: "Sturdy-I", "Rock-II", and "Divine Armor-III". The armor added by these attributes is related to the quality and tier of the current equipment, forming a well-organized three-tier system.

Although the armor stat from the Anthem Armor is only the most basic "Sturdy-I", it is already quite important to me at this stage. As long as I stack my armor high enough, enemy attacks will feel like tickles, including bullets and bombs!

Armor is a god-tier attribute that must be stacked up; the only thing it can't defend against is psionic attacks and nuclear explosions.

"Clap!"

I immediately replaced the Sleepless Breastplate with the Hymn Armor, which significantly boosted my defense and health! My maximum health has now reached 11600 points, and my armor has reached 307 points. Keep in mind that most players' melee attack power is only between 300 and 400 at this stage, so their melee attacks definitely won't hurt me.

There's no way around it, I'm just that confident when I'm dressed in all blue!
Immediately, he turned his attention to the second spoils of war he had acquired on this trip, a spirit robe that shone with a blue light. After a brief pause, its attributes appeared.

【Hymn Robe】(Quality: Blue)
Rank: Second Tier

Defense: 29
Spirit: +18
Blessing: Damage reduction +2%
Blessing: Resilience, increases your maximum health by 400 points.

Spirit required: 150
……

Clearly, the attributes of this Hymn Robe are far inferior to those of the Hymn Armor, but if we don't compare it to top-tier items, its attributes are quite remarkable: 29 armor, 18 strength, plus 2% damage reduction and 400 maximum health, all of which are effective attributes for the two major mental classes, Psionicist and Star Speaker. Calling it top-tier is not an exaggeration!
"I feel comfortable..."

At this moment, AAA全民可飞 suddenly laughed: "I got a Tier 2 green cloth bracer! Awesome! It added 9 points of strength. This is really satisfying..."

"congratulations!"

Cai Cai laughed and said, "I was lucky too, I got a green ring that adds 2% critical hit rate! I heard that critical hit rate can boost shooting accuracy, right, Ding Han?"

"Ok!"

I nodded emphatically: "The critical hit rate on the player's attribute panel does indeed boost shooting stats; I've verified this many times."

Zhang Ruolin happily put on a new blue shield. She was quite lucky; she got a Tier 2 blue class-specific equipment!
"Let's go, the countdown to the dungeon closing has started," Cai Cai said to everyone.

"go!"

Everyone filed out, and the moment they stepped out of the dungeon portal, they found themselves in a dark alley on Jiankang Road. Cai Cai whistled and led the way out, making it look like a group of people were hiding there to pee.

"Hey guys, what's up?"

AAA, who is known for his shrewdness, said with a smile, "Let's add each other on WeChat so we can share information later."

"That's a good idea," Cai Cai nodded with a smile.

I didn't say anything, I just showed everyone my QR code and had them scan it.

After Kotoba no Niwa scanned my WeChat QR code, her face flushed slightly. She then wrote "Newbie here, paying respects to the master" in her contact information. Her WeChat name was Kotoba, and her profile picture was of a very pretty anime girl who vaguely resembled her.

I nodded and smiled at Kotoba no Niwa without saying anything, but she pursed her red lips and lowered her head, not daring to look at me.

original……

In Star Abyss, as long as your level is high enough and your strength is strong enough, you can really feel like a big shot. Although I didn't feel anything special myself, the players I came into contact with were almost all very respectful to me. Is this a world where strength is the only thing that matters?

For a moment, I felt somewhat dazed.

We're leaving!

Cai Cai waved her hand: "Brother Han, let's have dinner together again next time we have time!"

"Okay, everyone be careful!"

"okay!"

So the three of them got into a taxi and left, leaving only Zhang Ruolin and me on the street.

"It's almost late at night, what are your plans?"

Zhang Ruolin looked at me: "Have you gone back?"

"There's no rush yet."

I shook my head: "I need to take a taxi to the old town, go to the player black market to get rid of some unwanted equipment, and also find out when the ammunition will arrive, and place an extra order while I'm at it, as I used up quite a bit this time farming the Bone Hymn."

"Well, I'll go with you."

"Alright."

So the two hailed a taxi and headed to the players' black market.

……

late at night.

"Old horse!"

Inside the trading market, I grabbed Old Ma. "Ding Han, damn it..."

Old Ma was speechless. He was about to explain that his surname wasn't Ma when he saw Zhang Ruolin's beautiful face. He immediately lost the desire to explain and asked, "What?"

"Let me show you something good!"

Sitting on the bench, I took out the hymn robe: "Give me an estimate, and I'll make my move if the price is right."

"Holy crap, a robe?!"

Old Ma's gaze lingered for a moment, then his eyes widened in shock: "This thing... a second-tier, dual-attribute blue robe, what a treasure! It's practically nonexistent on the market right now, at least not in Xicheng. How much are you planning to offer?"

"It's up to you to decide based on the market price."

"This number?"

Old Ma made a "6" gesture.

"Snapped!"

I slapped his hand away and said, "Do you think I'm some newbie? Get your attitude straight and give me a price that's in line with the market, or I'll post on the dark web forums and rip you off!"

"I'm sorry..."

Old Ma was exasperated: "Are all haters this arrogant these days?!"

He made another gesture and said, "9, that's the most I can offer. Otherwise, I won't have any profit to make. Besides, while second-tier blue equipment is powerful right now, it will be obsolete in a month at most. It's just transitional equipment. 10 is the maximum I can offer."

"Ah."

I nodded: "This price is about right, shall we pay?"

"OK!"

Old Ma had someone deliver cash.

After I took the money, I took out another 3 star coins and gave them to him, saying, "This 3 is for me to replenish five explosive grenades and 5000 Howler bullets. Also, when will Zhang Ruolin and I's ammunition expire? We're waiting to go out of the city to fight the enemy!"

"Don't worry, the higher-ups are urgently requesting more stock!"

Old Ma said, "The Dark Tide and Xicheng are fighting so fiercely right now, it's not easy for us to source goods either, let's all try to understand each other."

"Remember to prioritize supplying us, after all, we're old friends."

"That is required……"

……

It was late at night, around midnight.

Zhang Ruolin took a taxi to drop me off downstairs, and then returned to her own place.

When I went upstairs and opened the living room door, I found that the lights were still on inside. Lin Qingying was flipping through and comparing two documents, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was troubled by something.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" I asked.

"I'll go to sleep after I'm done with these things."

She looked up at me and said, "You've been so busy these past few days, it's rare to see you."

I was a little unsure how to answer, so I sat down next to her, took out a stack of star coins from my pocket, placed them on the coffee table, pushed them in front of her, and said, "This is 1.6 in total, here you go."

"What's this?" she asked, looking puzzled.

“You rented my room for ten times the price before, but I didn’t move out, so I should return the 1.6 yuan to you. Besides, I was indeed short of money back then, otherwise I definitely wouldn’t have been defeated by your ten times rent.”

"..."

She stared at me blankly.

"Take it quickly, otherwise I'll feel embarrassed to continue living here."

"Ah."

She finally nodded slightly and then put the money into her bag.

"I have to work tomorrow, so I won't stay up with you. I'm going to sleep."

"it is good."

Her gaze remained fixed on the documents as she continued working.

I returned to my room, and perhaps because I was too tired, I fell into a deep sleep soon after my head hit the pillow.

When people are tired, they sleep very well. I woke up to the sound of an alarm clock, got dressed immediately, and went to the living room. I saw that she had gotten up even earlier than me and was taking clothes out of the washing machine and hanging them on the clothes rack on the balcony.

The clothes in her hands... looked like underwear. When I looked over, she seemed flustered. She quickly hung the clothes up and said, "What would you like to eat? I'll go downstairs to buy breakfast."

"Whatever you eat, I eat."

"it is good."

She pushed open the door and fled as if she were escaping.

I touched my nose. When young men and women live together, many things are simply unavoidable. In fact, her underwear and my clothes were almost hanging together. The balcony is so small, there's no way to avoid it.

……

The two walked downstairs side by side and happened to see Li Xiang.

"Ding Han, same place tonight, you pay for the game coins, King of Fighters '97, let's settle this once and for all?"

"You scoundrel!!! Do you think I, Ding, am afraid of you???"

Lin Qingying left without expression, pretending not to know us.
