In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhifan returned from the dungeon world to his bedroom in reality.
Nowadays, the dazed feeling when entering and leaving the dungeon has become increasingly subtle for him, clearly a change brought about by his improved strength.
He materialized right next to the window, able to see the clear blue sky outside, with sunlight bright and beautiful, casting a warm glow on him.
"Itâs just past two in the afternoon... looks like about an hour has passed in the real world."
Turning his head to pick up the phone from the bedside table, Wang Zhifan thought to himself, confirming real-time had become a habit for him after finishing a dungeon.
"Letâs first check the state of the ring, I guess those two pieces of gear are gone..."
Wang Zhifan then raised his left hand and looked at a sapphire ring. When he concentrated his Spiritual Power on this piece of gear, he found he could still probe the storage space it linked to, but it was now empty, the Sinful Greatsword and Darkness-avoiding Cloak that should have been inside had disappeared without a trace.
"Heh, really stingy... itâs just two extraordinary-level items, and they wonât let me take them..."
Although he had expected it, seeing the truth with his own eyes, Wang Zhifan couldnât help but criticize the transcendent game.
Before leaving the dungeon, he had told Xiaoqiang that he might lose two pieces of gear, referring to them, since the Sinful Greatsword and Darkness-avoiding Cloak donât belong to the playerâs dungeon rewards, more like items within the dungeon, thereâs a very high probability they canât be taken out of the dungeon, even if Wang Zhifan put them in the Space Ring.
"But at least the modification Xiaoqiang made to this ring was retained, which counts as a nice unexpected gain."
In his worst-case scenario, Wang Zhifan had considered that after leaving the dungeon, the transcendent game would erase the modification effects from his gear too, but it seems thatâs not the case. Modifying gear acquired from the dungeon is feasible, as long as you have the ability or channel to do it.
After confirming a matter he cared about, he then started to tally the main rewards of this dungeon.
First, he took out a pair of gloves from his portable space. In appearance, these were silver-gray half-finger gloves with wrist guards, which means they are a combination of gloves and wrist guards, but the glove part isnât the type that wraps all fingers. Most of the fingers were completely exposed.
"One piece of gear, occupying both the glove and wrist guard slots, I must say itâs a drawback... but this design is great for wearing rings."
Holding this piece of Epic Layer gear and looking at its understated appearance, Wang Zhifan turned his gaze to the gloves and wrist guards he was currently wearing, evaluating whether they should be replaced.
[Glove of Destruction (Rare)]
[These nearly invisible gloves allow your magic damage to pierce through 20% additional resistance, and your melee attack damage is increased by 15%.]
[Giant Strength Bracelet (Rare)]
[Wearing this bracelet increases your strength attribute by 15%.]
"These two pieces of gear mainly provide me a 15% melee damage bonus and a strength attribute bonus, whereas the Epic Layer Heroâs Gauntlet offers a flat 10-point boost to all attributes, a 15% boost to all attributes, guaranteed crit on melee attacks, a 50% crit effect bonus, 30% resistance penetration for all, and the insanely annoying awe-inspiring Xiaoqiang effect for enemies... Without a doubt, the Heroâs Gauntlet outclasses the combined benefits of both, so they can retire honorably."
After a simple comparison, Wang Zhifan took off the Glove of Destruction and the Giant Strength Bracelet, which didnât match well with the new gauntletâs design, and put on the silver-gray Heroâs Demon-slaying Gauntlet. He also unequipped and reequipped the rings on his fingers, except for the Ape Kingâs Fury Ring; its critical strike bonus was made redundant by the gauntlet.
As soon as the gauntlet was in place, he immediately felt changes in his body, such as increased agility and strength, clearer thinking, and a wider range of perception, all immediate effects brought by attribute enhancement.
But he didnât immediately pull up the attribute panel to check; instead, he took off the Invisible Deceitful Clothing and Demon Dragon Battle Armor he was wearing and put on the newly acquired Demon Kingâs World-Ending Armor.
The Demon Dragon Battle Armor is an extraordinary-level equipment with comprehensive functions, mainly its flying Fire Wings, defensive Fire Shield, and offensive Fire Breath. The gear itself is quite good, but compared to the Epic Layer Demon King Battle Armor, itâs no longer suitable for Wang Zhifan.
Because Wang Zhifan has now trained in the top-tier Lightweight Wind Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill, although the level isnât very high yet, he can rely on himself to fly unrestrainedly at high speed in the air, more flexible and reliable than the Fire Wings ability. As for the Fire Shield, it seems redundant against Wang Zhifanâs various defenses, such as Force Field Defense, Blank Belt Spatial Defense, Invisible Deceitful Clothingâs invisible defense. Moreover, the Fire Breath ability has even less presence, not mentioning Wang Zhifanâs various powerful attack methods. Even for fire attacks, the Demon Dragon Ring he wears is an alternative.
Looking at the attributes of the Demon Kingâs World-Ending Armor, its âMaster of All Demonsâ effect provides constant astounding Defense; it can be simply understood that if the enemy lacks penetration, this piece of gear allows Wang Zhifan to become immune to all types of damage except for light attribute damage. Probably only rule-based attacks can break its static defense.
On the attack side, this gear is even more monstrous than the Demon Dragonâs Fire Breath. A maximum 3000-meter radius Annihilation Aura, what concept is that? It can be almost understood as a limitless large-scale insta-kill skill! In the future, Wang Zhifan wonât need to use Ice Source Power to clear the field; activating the Aura likely wipes out all enemies.
