Done in an instant.
The three pieces of equipment, emitting a faint golden glow, landed with a thud in Chen Yu's hands.
They were heavy.
Hei Dou, chewing on a jerky stick, also came closer.
"They're made?"
The three pieces of equipment emanated a mysterious power.
Chen Yu reached out and put on the bracers.
Instantly, a surge of power seemed to flood his limbs, his fists clenching as strength poured out uncontrollably.
Chen Yu then shed his burlap shirt and pants.
After he donned the Adventurer's Chestplate and Legplates.
Boom!
A torrent of power burned in Chen Yu's chest like a blazing flame.
Chen Yu walked out of the room with a sharp glint in his eyes.
This surging divine power!
I am the King!
"Boss, can you not be so chuunibyou?"
A faint whisper drifted over. Hei Dou looked at Chen Yu, who was stretching his arms upwards with great fervor, and curled his lip in exasperation.
"The Adventurer Set, the lowest-tier set, and yet seeing you in it, I almost thought you were wearing an Emperor's set."
"Can't I be happy for a bit? You damn cat, you really kill the mood," Chen Yu shot Hei Dou a glare.
Hei Dou wasn't wrong.
After putting on the Adventurer Set, there wasn't actually a huge noticeable difference.
It just made him feel a lot more at ease.
Its defensive capabilities were far superior to the burlap clothes.
He could also feel some amplification of his strength.
Chopping wood and mining should be more efficient.
If others knew, they would likely have no idea how to react. Wearing a perfect three-piece set, yet thinking about chopping wood and mining. If they obtained a perfect set, they would probably be too excited to sleep for half the night.
He lowered his gaze to his chest.
The Adventurer Set was primarily in shades of brown and gray.
On the chestpiece was a bright silver round shield.
There was also one on the legplates.
On the chestplate, legplates, and bracers, there was a diamond-shaped mark surrounded by wind.
"What is this mark for?" Chen Yu pointed to the emblem. Just then, Kuka, carrying several units of wood, returned to the camp. He saw Chen Yu's Adventurer Set through the window.
"The Adventurer Set, boss, you're awesome!"
Kuka leaned against the window, giving a thumbs-up, then nudged towards the insignia.
"That Gale Mark symbolizes freedom. Adventurers revere freedom, so most adventurer gear bears this brand, which can reduce the equipment's weight and make adventurers more agile. It's only found on gear of Rare rarity or higher."
"You actually recognize this," Chen Yu smiled.
"Boss, I'm a novice mage, after all," Kuka said with a smile. "The Adventurer Set is already considered a top-tier set among Black Iron grade equipment. It's perfectly usable even when you reach Bronze grade."
"Huh?"
Chen Yu was stunned.
Black Iron?
Bronze!
Seeing that Kuka seemed knowledgeable, Chen Yu waved him over.
As soon as he entered the room, Kuka gasped.
"Boss, your camp is really nice. This is an Earth-elemental camp, right? I've always liked Earth-elemental camps; they're solid, and the most dignified when upgraded."
Chen Yu was puzzled: "What is an Earth-elemental camp?"
Kuka explained: "It's the primary material used for upgrading your camp. Whatever elemental fragments are used the most, that's the element it belongs to."
The primary materials indeed seemed to be Earth Elemental Fragments.
Thus,
Not all camps require a large number of Earth Elemental Fragments. No wonder Jiang Yaqing had sold him Earth Elemental Crystal Fragments back then.
She probably didn't have an Earth-elemental camp; she was likely Fire-elemental.
Then, needing Fire-elemental camp fragments, she had still been willing to offer him seven Fire Elemental Crystal Fragments in aid. It was truly touching.
He'd have to fleece her again next time.
This was Chen Yu's "love" for her. Others had no opportunity for Chen Yu to "fleece" them.
"What were you talking about earlier, Black Iron and Bronze?"
"Grades," Kuka said, proudly patting his chest. "Above Black Iron are Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Obsidian, representing personal strength. I'm not very skilled, but I'm a Black Iron grade novice mage."
Chen Yu's mouth twitched.
What was this guy so proud of?
He was at the bottom rung, so why did he act like he was the greatest in the world?
Noticing Chen Yu's gaze, Kuka seemed to guess what Chen Yu was thinking and explained.
"Boss, don't look down on Black Iron grade. Many people can't even reach Black Iron in their lifetime; they remain only Rotten Wood grade. Black Iron is above Rotten Wood."
"Uh..."
It didn't seem much better.
Just an entry-level stage.
However, this grading system made Chen Yu feel a bit interested. If people like Kuka were Black Iron, then he should at least be Bronze grade.
Stubborn Bronze.
It didn't sound much better either.
"So, it seems the Adventurer Set is quite good," Chen Yu patted the silver heartguard on his chest. Kuka said earnestly, "It's top-notch. Some Bronze grade individuals might not even be able to get this Adventurer Set. And, from what I see, you have the three-piece set."
"Yes."
"The three-piece set should trigger set attributes."
"Oh? What attributes?"
"The attributes triggered by all sets are different. You can check for yourself."
How could he check this?
Chen Yu frowned and tentatively clicked on his personal page.
[Cave Reminder: Adventurer Set, three-piece set activated]
[Luck +10]
Luck.
What was this stat for?
"Kuka, do you know what the Luck attribute does?" Chen Yu tilted his head.
Kuka, who was still surveying the camp, stretched his neck to look at the side room of the two-bedroom dwelling. He thought that if he did well, he might be able to move in there.
Looking at it this way, working for Chen Yu was truly blissful.
Good food, good lodging.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop looking. That room doesn't belong to you yet," Chen Yu reached out and flicked Kuka on the head. "What are you craning your neck to look at? That wooden post outside is your home."
"Heh, aren't I working towards it?" Kuka chuckled.
"Then you better work hard," Chen Yu said with a raised eyebrow. "Tell me, what's the Luck attribute for? Is it good?"
"What, Luck!"
Chen Yu hadn't expected Kuka to react so strongly. His small bean-like eyes widened to the size of peanuts, showing just how shocked he was.
"Boss, are you invincible with your set attribute being Luck?"
"Yes."
"How much Luck?"
"10 points."
*Gulp.*
Chen Yu watched Kuka swallow, his eyes filled with disbelief. He said solemnly and with conviction.
"Boss, you're invincible!!!"
