Fangzheng was extremely depressed.
Although his own strength, in this world, could be said to have broken through the heavens. Just like what he said to the idiotic king, he could easily destroy the country if he was provoked.
But the problem was that he was not the one leveling up, but the shield in his hand!
Not only that, but after experimenting, Fangzheng was left speechless to discover that there were only two ways to gain experience.
He could either smash the opponent to death with the shield, or let Laftalia and Lifana kill the opponent. This was because after he bought the latter, he seemed to have activated some sort of party system. Then, when three people formed a party, they would all be able to get experience.
Therefore, what leveled up was not Fangzheng's level, but the shield's level ….
In other words, this was actually a game that nurtured equipment. The player's own attributes did not exist at all ….
If Fangzheng used magic or the King's Treasure to kill the monsters, he could, of course, kill them. But he would not get any EXP ….
That's disgusting, alright?
Who knew how long it would take to level up this stupid shield!
Although he could fight empty-handed, cosplaying as Kusanagi Kyokushi once was enough. As for the Yagami …. Fangzheng was already past that age.
Speaking of which, this setting was meant to be a party. Obviously, the Three Brave Sect did not allow the four of them to be together on purpose …. But it did not matter. Fangzheng could not be bothered to mingle with the three of them. It would be better not to have such pig-like teammates.
But wait …. Using the shield to attack …. That's not entirely impossible.
At this thought, Fangzheng's eyes glinted.
"Laftalia, Lifana, let's go back to the city first."
"Yes, Master."
Although they did not know what was going on, Laftalia and Lifana obediently followed behind Fangzheng. They returned to the city. Then, Fangzheng brought the two girls to the bald uncle's weapon shop.
"Welcome …. Hey, bro, why are you back? Is there anything else? "
"Boss, do you have an axe here? The higher the grade, the better, like those long-handled battle axes. "
"Of course, but... you can't use weapons, right?"
The bald boss obviously knew that Fangzheng, as the Shield Hero, could not use other weapons.
"It's okay. I'm just doing an experiment. I'll pay for it."
"I know, wait."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the bald boss turned around, rummaged through the warehouse for a while, and took out a huge battle axe.
"This is the best weapon we have here. Hmm, it's a battle axe made from meteoric iron. It costs 30 gold coins, but because it's too expensive, no one has ever bought it."
"Have you ever thought of giving a discount?"
"Are you kidding? This is the work of a super famous master. Casually lowering the price will ruin his reputation."
"Alright."
Since the bargaining had failed, Fangzheng did not mind. He just shrugged and stretched out his hand again.
"Pa da!"
As expected, it bounced off before he could grasp the hilt.
"Boss, please do me a favor and stab this axe in here."
As he said that, Fangzheng pointed to the emerald in the middle of the shield on his arm. Although the boss did not know what Fangzheng wanted to do, he still nodded. He picked up the battle axe and inserted it into the emerald in the center of the shield.
However ….
"Pa da."
It bounced off again.
"Still can't use it?"
Fangzheng thought nothing of this. All he did was wave his hand and sit to the side.
"Wait for me."
As he said that, Fangzheng opened his personal terminal. Soon, an image popped up. He quickly reached out and tapped on it. A series of characters and codes appeared on the personal terminal, and then ….
"Beep beep!"
Accompanied by a warning, a red message box popped up.
[Connection Denied]
"Hehe, I knew it."
Looking at the message box [Connection Denied] in front of him, Fangzheng sneered. He had thought that this shield was similar to the skill book used to level up in online games, which meant that this shield must have its own system. Putting aside those three idiot players, he was the planner. If he couldn't handle the system, the first thing he would think of was to hack into the system and change the code!
But now … .you're not going to give me face?
"Beep beep!"
[Connection Denied]
"Beep beep beep beep!!"
[Connection Denied]
"Hehe."
Looking at the bright red warning, Fangzheng sneered again. He raised his left hand. Soon, a bright red First Flame appeared in Fangzheng's hand.
Then, Fangzheng looked at the shield in his hand.
"I'll give you a chance. You should know very well that even without your stupid shield, I can still easily save or destroy this world. If you don't listen to me, then I'll burn you into firewood. You're useless and annoying to me anyway. If you don't listen, I might as well burn you! "
"Ding."
[Connection Successful]
Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit.
Looking at the light green connection prompt in front of him, Fangzheng snorted softly and began to type on the keyboard.
That's why some things can't be treated nicely. Otherwise, it'll really think that you're a nobody.
"That …."
Seeing Fangzheng communicating with the shield beside him, Lavtalia and Lifana were rather surprised. Then, Lavtalia asked curiously.
Lavtalia asked curiously, "Excuse me … .who are you, Master?"
Although Fangzheng was dressed like a noble, he was completely different from the nobles that Laftalia had met before. Besides, both of them had witnessed what happened before. It was obvious that the man in front of them wasn't an ordinary person.
"Hmm? Didn't you tell them, bro? "
"It's not a good reputation anyway. It doesn't matter if I tell them or not."
Fangzheng said casually while typing on the keyboard.
"In this world, I'm the Hero of the Shield … .at least for now."
"Huh?!"
Lavtalia and Lifana widened their eyes in surprise when they heard Fangzheng's answer.
"The Hero of the Shield?"
"Hmm?"
There was no coldness or disgust in their voices. Instead, they seemed to be very excited. Fangzheng glanced at them and remembered that the bald manager had told him before that the previous Hero of the Shield was the savior of the demi-humans. His reputation on the human side had been greatly reduced, but in turn, his reputation on the demi-humans had been greatly increased.
But he was at a critical stage of modifying the code, so he didn't say much. He just shrugged and focused on his work again.
Just like back in SAO, for the sake of caution, Fangzheng did not modify the core characteristics of the "shield" system. He only converted some of the characteristics, added some of the functions of the weapon for modification, and then added his own modeling ….
All in all, the "shield" was still a "shield", and its attack method would not change. It was just that Fangzheng specially added another transformation skill to it.
It was just like the guns that Fangzheng made in the SAO world. Although they looked no different from real guns in terms of appearance and performance, they were classified as "non-flying items" in the system.
All in all, this was also a way to exploit the system's loopholes without triggering a bug.
"Done."
Fangzheng pressed the "Enter" key, then quickly closed the interface and stood up.
"Boss, please give me the lowest-level tomahawk."
"Huh? You're changing to the lowest-level one this time? "
"Can't help it. I'll just have to give it a try."
It was very difficult to compromise with the system. Although Fangzheng had tried to completely remove the level restriction, the "shield" system was quite unyielding in this aspect. However, the shield system was rather unyielding in this aspect. A Deputy Warrior would rather die than be humiliated. Fangzheng could obtain his body, but not his heart. Finally, Fangzheng had no choice but to give up.
In the end, the shield could only absorb the transformation of weapons of the same level, but not higher level weapons.
But for Fangzheng, that was enough.
"Here it comes. This is the lowest-level black iron tomahawk."
"Let's try it again."
"Okay."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the bald boss nodded. He picked up the tomahawk and once again stuffed it into the emerald in the center of the shield.
Then, as if it had fallen into water, the battle axe disappeared without a trace.
Following that, the shield in Fangzheng's hand suddenly flashed with a beam of light. Following that, it instantly expanded. The originally small shield had now become almost the size of an ordinary shield, and there was an extra handle on it.
"Let's try it."
Fangzheng moved the shield to the back of his left hand, then stretched out his right hand, gripped the handle tightly, and swung it forward with force!
"Super Disintegration!"
With Fangzheng's angry roar, a long handle suddenly appeared from the shield. Following that, the entire shield suddenly expanded and smashed into the ground like a huge axe.
"Wow!"
Seeing this scene, the bald boss could not help but cry out in surprise.
"Is that even possible?"
"Even if it's a shield, if it hits your face, it will still hurt, right?"
"Of course."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the bald boss nodded repeatedly.
"Some shields are heavy enough to crush a person to death."
Not only that, after the Super Disintegration, the edge of the shield also became extremely sharp, like a real blade. Of course, with the average person's stamina, it would probably be difficult to swing it. But for Fangzheng, he could easily swing it around with one hand.
"Sure enough, it's better to have a big one in hand."
Waving the shield and axe in his hand, Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction. After all, he was used to wielding a greatsword. If he did not use something to slash people with, he would feel a little uncomfortable.
"Well then, let's go."
After transforming the weapon back into its shield form, Fangzheng stood up and was about to leave.
But at that moment, Lifana suddenly ran to Fangzheng's side.
"Sir Hero! Master! Please, please let me fight with you! "
"Huh?"
Facing Lifana's sudden request, Fangzheng was taken aback. He looked at the white tiger cub in front of him.
"You don't need to fight at all?"
"But, I, I want to be the companion of Sir Hero of the Shield!"
"Me too …."
At that moment, Laftalia also raised her hand timidly.
"It's not that easy to become my companion …."
Facing the request of the two, Fangzheng pondered for a moment.
"Alright, then … I'll let you try it out first."
