Maple City's Underground Research Institute. In front of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, there was a pile of treasure chests.
Among them, there were more than 20 Normal-level bronze treasure chests, seven Elite-level silver treasure chests, and the most eye-catching were the three gold treasure chests, which were the legacies of the three undead army leaders.
The first one Bai Xiaowen opened was Lord March's gold treasure chest.
After touching the treasure chest, Bai Xiaowen received a notification.
[Your team's contribution to killing Lord March of the Red Leaf Hill is 81%. The rest of the damage is caused by the Spiritual World storyline characters. The loot score will be reduced accordingly.
"Combat Rating: B, you've received two draw chances that won't be empty."
You have received 4,050 psionic points.]
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, the score did not drop too much." Lord March of the Red Leaf Hill was a Level-5 leader, and Bai Xiaowen was a Level-3 hero. A Level-B score was relatively normal.
Before drawing the loot card, Bai Xiaowen also received a special item from March's treasure chest.
[Fief Order (Red Leaf Hill): This is the Gorse Empire's fief contract passed down from generation to generation in Red Leaf Hill. This item is guaranteed to be dropped and will not be included in the loot draw list.]
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi each drew one.
Bai Xiaowen drew a "Four-Star Equipment Enhancement Card." He had drawn this thing before. It was very useful when he was trying to upgrade his equipment to + 7.
Of course, this thing was very useful for rich awakened ones. However, it was basically useless for beginner awakened ones who lacked psionic points. Fortunately, it could be traded and could retain its value to a certain extent.
Li Shuyi drew a longsword.
[Red Leaf Hill's Glorious Longsword]
[Grade: Hero (Gold)]
[Equipment Position: One-handed]
[Equipment Requirements: 15 Base Strength, 20 Base Agility.]
[Attribute: Additional Attack Power 8 ~ 16]
[Skill: Blood Drain: Drain the enemy's blood and deal magic damage equivalent to the user's level * 5. Heal the user's HP by the same amount.]
[Durability Description: The first generation of Hong Ye Territory used this sword to open up new territories. However, in the hands of the last generation of Hong Ye Territory, it was merely a ceremonial sword.]
"This sword is so strong!" Li Shuyi's eyes widened when he saw the additional skill, [Blood Drain]. "Damn it, how could a Magician like March drop such a good item? I didn't kill Ma Qi, so I can't pick it up … What a pity. "
Li Shuyi shook his head repeatedly, stroking his towering chest and sighing.
Bai Xiaowen carefully looked at the name of the sword. His eyes also widened.
"Wait … wait a minute." Bai Xiaowen patted Li Shuyi's shoulder. "Don't be sad … look at this sword again. What's so special about it?"
"No, no … The more I look at it, the sadder I get." Li Shuyi sighed.
"Are you stupid? There's no indication of 'bound after pickup' at the back of the sword!" Bai Xiaowen knocked Li Shuyi's head. "Moreover, there's no indication of 'bound after equipping' either! This is a top-grade Gold equipment that doesn't need to be bound! "
Li Shuyi exclaimed in surprise. He carefully looked at the [Red Leaf Lord's Glorious Longsword]. There was indeed no indication of binding at the back.
Bai Xiaowen directly assigned the sword to Li Shuyi. It was not until Li Shuyi received the Spirit Realm prompt that he recovered from his surprise. "You've obtained the Gold Equipment [Red Leaf Lord's Glorious Longsword]."
"Great, I can equip this sword with my right hand and put the original [Refined Rapier] with my left hand," Li Shuyi said with a smile.
There were two types of weapons: two-handed weapons (one needed to use both hands to fight) and one-handed weapons. Generally speaking, one-handed weapons had lower attack power than two-handed weapons of the same quality in a plane of the same difficulty.
However, there were also advantages to equipping a one-handed weapon. One could equip a light or medium shield with one's off-hand to block the enemy's attacks. Many tank-type professions would do this.
If a two-handed weapon was equipped, the attack speed would be slower, but the damage would be higher, resulting in a higher chance of crippling or insta-killing. In addition, skills like [Whirlwind Slash] had a wider range and higher damage. Lastly, two-handed weapons were more convenient to parry the enemy's close-range attacks. Therefore, they were the best choice for a violent warrior.
Agility-based warriors or assassins had another option, which was to "dual-wield a one-handed weapon"! Just like Li Shuyi, one could use a one-handed weapon in each hand to attack.
By doing so, one would sacrifice part of one's defense (one's ability to parry attacks would be weaker, and the chances of success would be lower). Moreover, the accuracy of one's attacks would decrease (that is, the percentage of attacks that were not dodged, parried, or blocked by the enemy) and the accuracy of one's vital points would decrease. These decreased statistics would not be shown on the battle interface, but the impact would be real.
However, dual-wielding a weapon also had its advantages, and that was the increase in attack speed! Every level of combat could increase one's attack speed by 5%.
With Li Shuyi's current Level-5 single-handed swordsmanship, if he dual-wielded a one-handed weapon, his attack speed would increase by 25%. The first attack he launched on the target would cause two waves of damage.
Although there would be negative effects such as a decrease in hit rate and vital point attack rate, that was only for the enemy in their normal state. If the enemy was hit by a control skill and became a stationary target that could not be resisted or dodged, these negative effects would not exist.
Therefore, Li Shuyi's choice of dual-wielding a weapon was inevitable.
Next, Bai Xiaowen opened Lich Abizell's golden chest.
The team's kill contribution rate was 73%. Li Shuyi's damage output was off the charts, reaching 39% due to the activation of [Devil's Fire Dance]. This was also the first time that her kill contribution rate exceeded Bai Xiaowen's in a Boss battle.
Although the storyline character Bandit's 27% kill contribution rate decreased the battle rating, Lich Abizell was a Level-6 Boss. Compared to Lord March, his battle rating was higher. After going back and forth, the battle rating remained at B and did not drop.
It was worth mentioning that Lich Abizell also had a special item that was guaranteed to drop: [Undead Plague Plan].
Bai Xiaowen opened the plan and skimmed through it. It was more or less as he had guessed. It was quite grim. The residents of Red Leaf Hill, whether in Red Leaf City or in the villages outside of the city, were all infected with the Undead Plague virus. Once it broke out, the entire Red Leaf Hill would become a paradise for the undead.
