VRMMO: THE UNRIVALED

Chapter 1436: Practicing Medicine



Chapter 1436: Practicing Medicine

The snow where the minotaur boss had crashed onto slowly became dyed in red. Right beneath its still warm body were all kinds of magic stones, enhancement gems, items, and a golden skill book. This Sovereign Rank boss was a generous giver, I see.

Rustle rustle…

I walked up to the boss and scooped up the loot. Then, I spread them out in front of me so that I could get a better look at it. There were two weapons—a bamboo green jade flute and a red sword with cool-looking flames circulating around it—a cyan-colored iron shield, a pair of leather-armor wristguards, and a crimson ring.

The core players of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Blazing Hot Lips, Snowy Cathaya and more came over. This was a joint effort, so everyone who even touched the boss got the opportunity to roll for a piece of equipment or two.

I picked up the bamboo green jade flute first and gave my wrist a shake. Its stats immediately appeared to us as a hologram—

……

I let out an "oh" before raising the jade flute into the air. "So, this is a magic weapon that deals 15% extra damage. The Top 10 mages with the highest battle contribution points will be rolling for it!"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes, Lian Xin, Moonlight Stone, Shadow Chanel and more all qualified to roll for the equipment. There was the sound of dice clattering against the ground, and a few seconds later it was revealed that our mage, Yu Tong, was the proud winner of Ripples of Life!

"Here…" I passed the jade flute to Yu Tong and shot her an encouraging smile. "Keep this up!"

A happy Yu Tong switched out her existing scepter for the Ripples of Life instantly. She then brought the jade flute to her mouth and gave it a tentative blow. Her robe and hair started rippling on their own, and waves of magical light gathered around a person. Then, Galaxy Storm exploded right beneath her feet. It sure looked pretty impressive.

Stranger of Three Lifetimes asked Yu Tong with deep sisterly love in her eyes, "Yu Tong, it’s been ages since you went to Ancient Sword. When are you coming back to Blazing Hot Lips? Aren’t we your real home?"

Yu Tong blinked once before replying, "You were the one who sent me to Ancient Sword, Sister Momo… Also, Lu Chen and Eve treat me too well. I would feel guilty if I were to leave now…"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes covered her forehead. "Sigh, no wonder they say a daughter who is married is like spilled water…"

Eyes Like Water added, "Yeah. She’s even blowing his flute now…"

Yu Tong blushed as red as an apple. "I don’t understand what you’re saying at all!"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes simply rolled her eyes. "Sure you don’t…"

……

This was getting out of hand, so I quickly picked up the other weapon and examined it. It was a fiery sword with an unusually wide blade and a single rune imprinted on its surface. When I grasped its hilt, I could feel a vast energy surging into my body. Its stats were also a match for the sensation it gave me. It was the loot drop of a Sovereign Rank boss after all—

Omnislash (Sacred Armament, Outstanding★★★★★★★★)

Introduction: Before the three realms were separated, humans used to be able to look up to the sky and know there exists an immortal realm beyond the nine heavens. For eons, countless eons sought for a way to ascend to the Heaven Domain to no avail. One day, a simple blacksmith’s mother fell gravely ill, and the only way to save her was to obtain a spirit herb that exists within the Heaven Domain. He decided to forge a divine weapon that could slash open the Primordial Gate and opened a way to the Heaven Domain. That was how the Omnislash was born. In the end, the blacksmith was able to destroy the Primordial Gate and open up a path to the Heaven Domain, but he himself couldn’t withstand the great power of the Omnislash and was killed. As a result, the divine weapon became known as a cursed weapon who killed its owner. It is said that the wielder of the Omnislash shares the same lifespan as the world.

……

"Holy fuck…" Gui Guzi was almost salivating. "This Sacred Armament sword has an even higher Attack than Boss Broken Halberd’s Chill of the Nine Provinces! Its passives are slightly weaker, but that’s about it! This is amazing!"

I was almost salivating myself. This Sacred Armament was definitely more powerful than all the existing Twelve Divine Armaments. However, the Twelve Divine Armaments could evolve to become stronger weapons, so they were still the greatest weapons in the world.

"So… Chengfeng is busy, so I’m rolling on behalf of him, okay?" I said while rubbing my palms together.

Lin Yixin shot me an exasperated glance. "What are you planning…"

"Nothing? Anyway, all Top 10 metal-armor players with the highest battle contribution points, go go go…"

It wasn’t long before the results were revealed. Li Chengfeng had hit the boss a couple of times because he was forced to leave and deal with the Northern Alliance, so he was just barely in the Top 10. Lin Yixin, He Yi, Gui Guzi, Eyes Like Water, Xu Yang, Heaven’s Rain, and Purple Marquis qualified as well.

I grabbed my dice excitedly and tossed it on the ground. A while later, it revealed a score of 77!

I wiped away some sweat. In my opinion, any dice roll with a score over 50 was a victory in its own right!

Lin Yixin threw her dice so hard that it actually bounced off Gui Guzi’s nose before landing on the ground. Her score was only 7! Well done, Little Gui!

He Yi threw her dice gracefully—45!

Eyes Like Water—71!

Heaven’s Rain—54!

Purple Marquis threw his dice steadily and scored—95!

"Hahahaha…" The vice leader of Snowy Cathaya was famous for his steadiness, but even he couldn’t help but burst out in laughter and dance on his feet. "95! I’m so lucky today! It might just be a dice roll, but we still beat Ancient Sword and got a Sacred Armament sword from them, not to mention that it’s the seventh best weapon on the Weapon Ranking! Hahaha!"

I lowered my arm. "Fine, this sword goes to Purple—"

However, a steady voice interrupted me, "Wait, Lu Chen! I haven’t gotten my turn yet. I may be in the last place of the Top 10 metal-armor players, but you can’t deny me my right to roll, bro…"

I turned around and saw Xu Yang grinning at me while carrying a shiny ringed blade. Damn, I nearly forgot that he was one of the players who qualified to roll for the item too.

"Say, what grade is your current blade, brother Xu Yang?" I asked him.

"It’s a basic Immortal-grade weapon. It’s awesome, isn’t it?" Xu Yang said.

We nearly threw up blood at the self-praise. "Yes, yes, now roll the dice, hero…"

For some reason, Xu Yang maneuvered his dice behind his ear before tossing it like it was a shot [1]. It landed dozens of meters away and rolled a little further across the snow.

We raced over to see what number he rolled, and the outcome shocked all of us. As it turned out, Xu Yang had rolled a 96! It was only 1 point higher than Purple Marquis, but that was all he needed to win the Sacred Armament!

……

"Oh fuck me…" Purple Marquis slapped his thighs and cried, "I would rather I never got a high score in the first place! My poor heart…"

Meanwhile, the delighted winner couldn’t stop himself from grinning ear to ear while accepting the Omnislash from my hands. Starting now, Xu Yang had as much Attack as a super-tier player because the Omnislash had an even higher Attack than my Chill of the Nine Provinces. Speaking of my weapon, I couldn’t help but look forward to its next evolution. A Divine Armament of the twelve that does not evolve was a sad weapon, you know?

Now that the weapons were distributed, it was time to look at the non-weapons. I picked up the dark cyan-colored shield and brought up its stats screen. It was more astonishing than I thought—

Shield of Medicine (Ancient Immortal-grade, Outstanding★★★★★★★★★)

Defense: 28,500

Magic Resist: 28,000

Stamina: +2,950

Strength: +2,850

Agility: +2,800

……

My eye nearly goggled when I saw its Outstanding Property. "Practicing Medicine… This is so good! It restores 50% HP to the user instantly, and it regenerates 10% HP per second for 10 seconds… this shield might as well be a portable super priest!"

After that, I lowered the heavy shield and declared, "So, who wants this pocket doctor? The Top 10 magic knights with the battle contribution points may roll for the item."

I also sent a message to He Yi: "I know you don’t need this shield, but don’t forfeit, Eve. If you do win, you can give it to Little Gui later. This shield is too good to give away to another guild, and it’s not like Yiyi has many experts who can use it to its maximum potential anyway. Like seriously, can you imagine a second-rate expert like Zi Chuanyu using it? What a waste it would be! This shield would be so much more useful in our hands…"

He Yi nodded and teased me a little. "You always make me do such shameless things…"

I replied, "Oh, don’t you worry about that. I’m going to roll for the item too, and I’m not even a magic knight!"

He Yi: "..."

……

Out of all the metal-armor players who attacked the boss, only 7 of them could equip a shield. Our competitors were two middle-aged uncles from Blazing Hot Lips, and Zi Chuanyu and another middle-aged uncle from Snowy Cathaya. Gui Guzi, He Yi and I put our heart and soul into the dice before throwing them, and I would like to think that it made all the difference. I managed to win the Shield of Medicine with a score of 89, which I then privately traded to Gui Guzi. If Gui Guzi was a cockroach before, now he was an unkillable cockroach thanks to Shennong Tastes Grass and the Shield of Medicine!

That was all we got. Clear Perfume won the Ancient Immortal-grade leather armor wristguards, and Lin Yixin the crimson ring with an excellent 150% Attack and 9% lifesteal stats. She then gave it to her greatest general, Purple Marquis. The skill book was just a Rank 8 Encourage, and it was claimed by a tactician from Snowy Cathaya.

We took a moment to recuperate and prepare ourselves after the loot distribution was finally done.

……

Meanwhile, after I stepped out of the snowy valley, I learned that Li Chengfeng and the Dragonlight Cavalry had successfully beaten back the heroes of the Northern Alliance. Despite losing nearly 9,000 men, they were able to inflict even greater damage to the enemies, and the Northern Alliance withdrew after learning that the boss was killed. That was how they worked. They preferred to avoid profitless battles if at all possible.

Rustle rustle…

It was at this moment Chaos Moon trotted up to me and reported, "Lu Chen, I receive word that almost all 99 necropoleis are fully cleared. It won’t be long before the screen blocking the way to the Sainthelm Ruins is removed, and we’ll be able to march forth to the origin point of the Purgatory Legion…"
