Chapter 453: Chapter 269: This Game Is Awesome (Update 1)_2
The priest narrowed his eyes at Liuzi before shifting his attention to the Goddess of Art next to him.
Upon seeing her, his pupils immediately dilated.
Priests also possess their own blessings, which grant them divine revelations and allow them to see the true visage of the gods.
In this moment, he beheld the vast true form of the Goddess of Art behind her, golden powers woven into a perfect pattern, and he instantly realized she was a being on par with the Goddess of Mercy.
Devoutly kneeling before the Goddess of Art, he sincerely said, “I apologize for not recognizing your identity just now, great Outer God. I have no intention to speculate on Your purpose for descending upon this place, but I am willing to follow all Your arrangements.”
“Then bring out the best equipment!” the Goddess of Art demanded without any politeness.
...
“Well...” the priest sighed, “I’m sorry, we can’t offer much, but I can give you some advice.”
He invited Liuzi and the Goddess of Art to sit down, and the priest began to explain the situation here, offering quite a few useful tips.
Most of these tips were common knowledge to seasoned adventurers, but for the players, they were treasures worth their weight in gold.
Afterward, the priest thoughtfully produced a map and carefully handed it over to the Goddess of Art.
“This is a topographical map of the surrounding areas of the City of Judgment, a result of our painstaking exploration. It would sell for at least fifteen Gold Coins, but I’ll give it to you for free.”
After giving their sincere thanks, Liuzi left with the map, feeling that the Goddess of Art was quite useful.
Especially in a game setting where True Gods are involved, the presence of the Goddess of Art could bring many benefits.
Apart from her show-offish demeanor that was a bit irritating, everything else was fine.
On the map, Liuzi noticed that the locations of nearby dungeons were marked, and there were quite a few of them.
Some dungeons were too dangerous, filled with extremely powerful monsters, and previous adventurers wouldn’t risk their lives for money, at most they would clear some nearby monsters, but they wouldn’t venture deep within or clear out its core.
However, danger also meant high-quality items, as the generation of items was also related to the environment. The more dangerous the place, the higher the probability of high-quality items appearing.
Leaning over Liuzi’s shoulder, the Goddess of Art looked at the map for a while and then said, “Where shall we go next?”
After silently picking up his loot, Liuzi quickly found a usable set of gear and then rushed toward the next room.
He kicked open the door, and the foul stench that met him made him frown, but he then gripped the dagger in his hand and forcefully beheaded the monster in front of him.
As the battle unfolded, Liuzi felt himself becoming more adept, what had once been terrifying monsters now turned into shiny experience packs, and the items they dropped further stimulated his senses, making him more excited.
When one monster fell, an object fell out of its body—a short sword glowing with a green light, accompanied by a crisp sound.
Ding-dang~
The sound, like the music of heaven, made Liuzi’s body tremble, and he immediately gripped the dagger in his hand.
This was a magic weapon.
The quality of a regular weapon depends on its materials and the method of forging, but a magic weapon twists the Laws themselves, endowing the weapon with even more extraordinary effects.
Wielding the short sword, Liuzi discovered that as he swung it, small red dots appeared on the monster’s body, and when he attacked those spots with the short sword, even without much strength, the monster would instantly die.
Examining the short sword, Liuzi saw the effect it displayed:
[Decisive Short Sword]: When only this dagger is equipped, all your damage is reduced to 0, but when you attack an enemy’s weak point, there is an effect of a one-hit kill. This special effect is ineffective against higher-level monsters.
After reading its effects, Liuzi marveled that, indeed, a magic weapon could completely change the mechanics of the game.
Having equipped the Decisive Short Sword, Liuzi continued to charge deeper into the dungeon, and before long, he felt a warm current welling up.
He leveled up.
With a level up, a player’s physical fitness would further improve, and although he couldn’t see specific numbers, Liuzi still had a palpable sense of becoming stronger.
This feeling made him even more excited, and after swapping out a batch of gear, he rushed forward again, heading into the next room.
Three hours later, the boss of the first dungeon, a cyclops with a single eye, lay defeated before Liuzi.
The creature had astonishing strength and could launch stones from a distance, but its movements were relatively slow.
Such an enemy would normally be tough to handle, but with the Decisive Short Sword in hand, Liuzi clearly saw red dots flickering on the creature’s body.
Seizing the right moment, he leapt onto the creature’s head and pierced its eye with a sword. The enormous giant fell to the ground with a painful roar, a multitude of items spewing out of its slowly disintegrating body, covering most of the room.
Standing in the room, Liuzi closed his eyes, savoring the aftermath of the intense battle, and couldn’t help but say, “This game is amazing.”
