Chapter 21

In New World, apart from those who learned Beast Taming Techniques, everyone had three pet slots for pets that could fight.

When the Beast Tamer’s Beast Taming Technique was upgraded to the max, it could control hundreds of pets of various sizes, but it required enough Spirit to control these pets.

Moreover, pets could also be used for possession.

After possession, the character’s attributes would increase according to the pet’s quality, level, and attributes.

A pet could at most increase all of the owner’s attributes by up to 45% of its stats.

For example, Vermillion Bird was of the highest level.

Lin Chen opened all 100 dazzling eggs in one go.

He had set up a spirit beast base in Sky Moon City, recruited 30 top-notch beast tamers, and spent 60 million gold coins. If he had no use for pets himself, he could temporarily leave them here.

Lin Chen threw all the Perfect quality ones into the base first.

It should be explained that although there were at most three pets that would fight, there was no upper limit to the number of pets that one could own.

Lin Chen went through ownership confirmation with every single pet.

Then, he clicked on the spirit beast base and set up the maintenance fund.

A hundred spirit beasts would cost a million gold coins every month in maintenance.

If it was in the past, Lin Chen would definitely not be able to afford it.

But now, it didn’t matter.

Then, Lin Chen began to check the quality of these pets one by one.

His luck was not bad.

At least, it wasn’t very unlucky.

However, no more mythicals appeared.

100 dazzling eggs gave him 10 extraordinary pets.

Among them, there were six Legendaries and four Epics.

Lin Chen chose two for himself and three for Liu Mengyao.

The three pets given to Liu Mengyao had a reasonable class combination. The Epic-ranked pet would replace her Stegosaurus, and the other two would have different Warrior and Mage classes. This way, Liu Mengyao would not have to worry about not being able to deal damage when she faced solo missions in the future.

As for Lin Chen himself, he planned to DPS until the end!

Therefore, he chose another mage pet.

[Yuki Onna]

[Owner: Forest Dawn]

[Quality: Epic]

[Overall Growth Rating: SS]

[Level: 1]

[Constitution: 120]

Strength: 80

[Spirit: 160]

[Agility: 120]

[Free Attribute Points: 10]

[HP: 1440]

Physical Attack: 800

[Magic Attack: 2880]

[SPD: 1.2 yards per second]

[Talent Skills: High Virtue Like Water, Frozen Body, Heart of Tranquil Water]

[High Virtue Like Water: When there is water nearby, Yuki Onna’s spells will have a 10% chance to stun the enemy for a second. All damage dealt by Yuki Onna will be increased by 10%.]

[Frozen Body: Yuki Onna will reduce the surrounding temperature (passive). Active: After Yuki Onna uses it, Yuki Onna will enter a frozen state. Her body will be covered in thick ice. All attacks will be useless against her. Lasts for five seconds. Consumes 300 mana. Cooldown: 30 seconds!]

[Heart of Tranquil Water: Immune to any negative states that affect her rationality. She will not be bewitched or controlled. Puppet Techniqueswill not have any effect on her!]

This was a water attribute pet.

Moreover, it was more crowd control based, but the growth coefficient of magic attacks had also reached 18. It could completely be used to deal damage. Moreover, it had a very strong life-saving talent and an immunity to negative statuses.

Lin Chen could use it.

As for the last pet, Lin Chen no longer chose a magic-type pet.

[Flying Rat]

[Owner: Forest Dawn]

[Quality: Epic]

[Overall Growth Rating: SS]

[Level: 1]

[Constitution: 120]

Strength: 120

[Spirit: 80]

[Agility: 160]

[Free Attribute Points: 10] historical

[HP: 1440]

[Physical Attack: 1440]

[Magic Attack: 800]

[SPD: 7.88 yards per second]

[Talent Skill: Concealment, Spreading Wings, Poison Immunity]

[Concealment: Flying Rat can hide its body and reveal itself after being attacked or actively attacking. Concealment lasts for 1 minute. Mana Cost: 100. Cooldown: 1 minute (Possession can be used)]

[Spreading Wings: Flying Rat’s movement speed will permanently increase by 5 yards per second. When flying, it will double this bonus.]

[Poison Immunity: Immune to all poison damage.]

Without a doubt, this pet was used to save his life.

The Assassin class Flying Rat was actually not very strong in terms of damage output. Among its innate skills, it did not have any talent in terms of damage output. However, the Constitution Coefficient of the Flying Rat had reached 12, and the Agility Growth Coefficient had reached 18. After possessing, Lin Chen could be still invisible, and his various attributes could increase by about 40%. This was already not bad.

A Level 1 Flying Rat’s speed had reached nearly 8 yards per second. This was very terrifying!

As a Wind Mage, other than his spell damage, Lin Chen’s speed was his lifeline.

After deciding on the pets, the next step was to appraise the equipment.

As there were no Level 110 or Level 120 crafting blueprints, so far, everyone could only forge Level 100 crafts.

Lin Chen directly used high-level appraisal talismans and worked for more than half an hour before finally appraising all 2,000 sets of crafted equipment.

His luck was pretty good.

There were actually eight nine-star crafted equipment!

However, what made Lin Chen speechless was that none of them could be used.

But it didn’t matter.

Lin Chen took out the Heavenly Artisan Crystal and directly extracted the attributes from other equipment.

Nine-star crafted equipment did not have the effect of a set.

Sets had three attributes, namely stats, traits, and special skills. Crafted equipment could usually have four stats. Apart from the stats, there could be three enchantments.

Moreover, the Heavenly Artisan Crystals would definitely be used on enchantments with full attributes.

Therefore, many players would choose to wear six pieces of crafted equipment when they were not in possession of a suitable equipment set.

The key was that crafted equipment could also be designed according to one’s thoughts.

The only disadvantage was that crafted equipment did not have special skills.

In short, they all had their own advantages and disadvantages. It all depended on how people chose their equipment.

Lin Chen would definitely not change his equipment set. A four-piece set meant four special skills. It was too appealing.

Hence, Lin Chen obtained four pieces of crafted equipment for his and Liu Mengyao’s non set equipment slots.

[Red Moon Belt]

[Quality: Mythical]

[Level: 100]

[Attributes: Constitution +250, Spirit +500]

[Enchantment 1: Skill chanting time reduced by 30%]

[Enchantment 2: Skill effect increased by 20%]

[Trait 3: AOE damage taken reduced by 5%]

Without a doubt, this equipment was for Liu Mengyao.

Every enchantment’s attribute was maxed out for her!

In the past, every enchantment on this equipment was worth hundreds of thousands, not including the cost of the nine-star crafted equipment itself. If it was included, this equipment could be exchanged for a house in a third- or fourth-tier city.

[Cloak of Worship]

[Quality: Mythical]

[Level: 100]

[Attributes: Constitution +250, Spirit +500]

[Enchantment 1: Mana consumption reduced by 20%]

[Enchantment 2: Status effect immunity probability increased by 10%]

[Enchantment 3: Healing effect increased by 15%]

Again, these enchantments had the maximum attributes possible. The combination of the two pieces of equipment could increase the effect of Liu Mengyao’s healing skills by 30%. Originally, if a healing skill could only add 10,000 HP, it could now add 13,500 points.

It could be said that these two pieces of equipment were enough for a Priest to graduate!

Lin Chen’s own equipment was also top-grade nine-star equipment.

[Wind Belt]

[Quality: Mythical]

[Level: 100]

[Attributes: Spirit +550, Agility +200]

[Enchantment 1: Skill chanting time reduced by 30%]

[Enchantment 2: Skill effect increased by 20%]

Enchantment 3: All skills increase by one level]

..

[Mage’s Crazy Cape]

[Quality: Mythical]

[Level: 100]

[Attributes: Spirit +550, Agility +200]

[Enchantment 1: Increase the effect of Storm Force Field by 50%]

[Enchantment 2: All skills increase by one level]

[Enchantment 3: Increases Skill Damage by 15%]

These were the two pieces of equipment that Lin Chen had tailor-made for him.

Coupled with the effect of the set equipment, all of Lin Chen’s skills had reached Level 13. The enhancement was huge. Coupled with the two enchantments of skill enhancement and skill damage increase, Lin Chen’s current damage output could catch up to that of a fire mage.

Lin Chen immediately took the four pieces of equipment and strengthened them.

All strengthened to +18!

Then, he put on his crafted equipment.

Lin Chen opened his attribute panel.

[Forest Dawn]

[Class: Mage (Wind)]

[Level: 115]

[Experience Points: 200 million / 1.5 billion]

[HP: 17,000]

[Mana: 170,000]

[Magic Attack: 79,000]

[Physical Attack: 1800]

[SPD: 34.2 yards per second]

[Constitution: 1700]

[Spirit: 15,800]

[Strength: 1200]

[Agility: 3120]

His magic attack was just 1,000 short of reaching 80,000.

He estimated that when he reached Level 120, he would break through the threshold of 80,000.

If Lin Chen changed classes to FIre Mage now, he would be able to break through 100,000 magic attack.

In addition, Lin Chen’s speed was really terrifying.

It was almost 100 meters in 3 seconds.

He was truly a man like the wind!

When Lin Chen was done, Liu Mengyao went online.

Lin Chen handed her the equipment and her pets. At the same time, he put all the things that Zhang Chunlin had mailed into the warehouse and even paid for them. Lin Chen said to Liu Mengyao, “Another 500 Supreme-grade treasure maps have arrived. Let’s continue digging and bring our pets to level up!”

“Alright!”

Liu Mengyao nodded but said, “Can we stop after we bring them to Level 100? I want you to take me to the Heavenly Palace.”

“No problem!”

Lin Chen naturally agreed.

Now the crafting was done, and there were enough pets.

Lin Chen’s account could not be upgraded much more. He could do something else when he had time.

The things that could be dug out from the Supreme treasure maps were of little significance to Lin Chen now, so he did not have much hope. However, this was often the case in reality. The more one wanted something, the more they would not come.

Now, Lin Chen had no expectations, yet in the end, he obtained 10 Eternal Crystals from the 200 maps.

He even dug up an incomplete page of the array formation!

[Broken God Slaying Array Remnant Page]

[This is one of the remaining pages of the God Slaying Formation that formed the Level 9 City Protection Array. Legend has it that the God Slaying Formation is powerful and has the ability to trap a Heavenly God. Therefore, it was broken into six pieces by the Heavenly Gods. This is only one of them.]

Good lord, the God Slaying Formation!

Level 9 City-Protecting Array!

This was good stuff!

Lin Chen quickly put it away.

At the same time, he sent a message to Zhang Chunlin. “Help me keep an eye on the God-Slaying Formation’s incomplete pages. If there are any, help me collect them. You can decide the price. I’m willing to pay ten times the price!”

Lin Chen had to get this array formation.

If there were no remnant pages on the market, he would continue to dig.

In New World, apart from those who learned Beast Taming Techniques, everyone had three pet slots for pets that could fight.

When the Beast Tamer’s Beast Taming Technique was upgraded to the max, it could control hundreds of pets of various sizes, but it required enough Spirit to control these pets.

It should be explained that although there were at most three pets that would fight, there was no upper limit to the number of pets that one could own.

Lin Chen went through ownership confirmation with every single pet.

Then, he clicked on the spirit beast base and set up the maintenance fund.

A hundred spirit beasts would cost a million gold coins every month in maintenance.

If it was in the past, Lin Chen would definitely not be able to afford it.

But now, it didn’t matter.

Then, Lin Chen began to check the quality of these pets one by one.

This way, Liu Mengyao would not have to worry about not being able to deal damage when she faced solo missions in the future.

As for Lin Chen himself, he planned to DPS until the end!

Therefore, he chose another mage pet.
