C1 First Chapter
The July weather was so stuffy that it was like a sauna with steam all over it. In the overcast sky, dark clouds hung lazily in the air like half-cooked egg pancakes. They could only occasionally block out the hot sun, but they did not have the consciousness to turn into rain and moisten the land.
Lu Shan entered the courtyard of the Golden Age District while riding an old and broken 28 year old bike that could be sent to a museum for exhibition. He was sweating profusely. I looked back... Seeing that no one seemed to be chasing after them, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, picking up a large box of rice from the handlebars of the car, he ran up to the seventh floor with a thudding sound.
This was an online gaming studio. Including Lu Shan, a total of eight otaku were holed up in this less than 70 square meters house every day, playing online games and selling some gaming equipment in the game to help customers gain a little bit of income.
Lu Shan had just graduated from university this year. However, because the school he graduated from was the kind of ordinary school, which was not popular with employers, he hadn't been able to find a proper job for a few months.
Seeing that the balance in his bank account had shrunk to three digits, and if he couldn't find a job, he wouldn't even be able to pay the rent for the next month. And Lu Shan didn't want to return home dejectedly like this, so … He could only hang out in this game studio for a while!
After handing out the boxes of food one by one to the otaku, Lu Shan, who was sweating profusely, heard Wang Chao, the studio's boss, yell, "Lu Shan, hurry up! Why did it take so long to buy food today? "
Lu Shan frowned and said: "Oh …" "The car broke down in the middle of the road!"
He didn't tell the truth. On a whim, he caught a thief on the way, but it was like he had poked a hornet's nest, causing seven or eight people to jump on Little Hooligan.
Lu Shan saw that the situation was not good and used his broken car to knock over two Little Hooligan before running all the way. I took a long walk around the street before I came back...
If he were to speak the truth, the timid boss would definitely blame him for being nosy.
Fortunately, Wang Chao didn't ask any further questions and only said anxiously: "Alright, get on the plane … The Big Boss of the Heavenly Star Cave, the Star Dragon Beast, has just respawned. I discovered that the drop rate of this stardragon seemed to have something to do with the number of people fighting it. The more people fighting the Boss, the higher the chance of them dropping good items! "Quickly, I've been waiting for you …"
"Oh …" "Alright, here we are!"
When Lu Shan heard this, he immediately went to his seat. He put down his lunch box and quickly got to work …
It was said that in the past two days, there had been people who had gotten a few new equipment from this dungeon that had never appeared in the game before. Furthermore, one of the with the best attributes, the Berserk Ring, had sold it for a total of 18,000 RMB s!
This was especially tempting for a studio that was originally there to make money. Therefore, since last night, Lu Shan's Super Perfection Studio had been desperately trying to clear the Heavenly Star Cave instance dungeon.
Hurry up and send all the main accounts into the Heavenly Star Cave." Lu Shan saw a large group of players attacking a monster with a dragon's head and a cow's body.
Lu Shan tapped the big BOSS with his mouse and discovered that it was only left with a layer of bloody skin. He immediately fired all his firepower and threw all his skills at the big BOSS with his face covered …
With a "boom", Lu Shan's moves seemed to become the last straw that broke the camel's back. The gigantic body of the Star Dragon Beast fell to the ground, turning into countless pieces of equipment of different colors.
"Wooo — Handsome!"
Wang Chao glanced around and saw three pieces of purple-gold equipment lying on the ground. He couldn't help but shout out in excitement.
Normally, if a big BOSS were to drop a piece of purple-gold equipment, it would be equivalent to burning incense. But this Star Dragon Beast actually dropped three pieces of purple-gold. This luck was simply heaven defying! Ah … That's not right, what was the other thing that was emitting a seven-colored light?
Wang Chao rubbed his eyes and looked again carefully. He saw a rainbow light flash past and immediately became anxious. He stretched out his neck and shouted, "What was that rainbow colored equipment? Who took it away! "
"Brother Chao …" "It's with me!"
Lu Shan said: "This account has been set up to pick up things automatically, but I didn't manage to pick up anything else. I only picked up this one item! However … This thing is actually a Upgrade Box. "
"Upgrade Box! Aren't Upgrade Box only blue in color? How could there be a seven-colored one appearing!? "
Of course, Wang Chao didn't believe it. Upgrade Box couldn't even be considered equipment, they were just tools used by players to synthesize materials, bind their equipment, and level up their equipment. There was no difference between good and bad in this thing, its functions were basically the same.
That was why Wang Chao did not believe that the seven-colored equipment was a Upgrade Box. Afraid that Lu Shan was fooling him, he turned around and privately sold the "heaven defying" equipment through other channels.
"Holy shit!" Is it really a Upgrade Box? Rub... A lousy Upgrade Box, and he even got a seven-colored rune for a special effect! Is there something wrong with the programmer who developed this dungeon? Okay now... Since it's a Upgrade Box, then you can keep it for yourself! "
Wang Chao cursed in dissatisfaction before walking away with a dejected look … Upgrade Box could be killed on normal monsters, so no one would buy it. Not to mention a seven-colored one, even a nine-colored one wouldn't be worth much!
Lu Shan shook his head, then clicked on the Upgrade Box. The Upgrade Box that he had been using this account with was about to run out of HP. Now that he had used this account, of course he had to use it! As a result, when he opened it, he unexpectedly discovered that the number of times this seven-colored Upgrade Box had been used was (0/10).
Lu Shan couldn't help but be stunned... How could this Upgrade Box only be used ten times … Are you sure you aren't mistaken?
At this moment, another prompt popped up on the screen, saying, "This equipment can only be used after soul binding. Please choose whether to use soul binding — — [Confirm], [Cancel]."
"It can't be? Why must this thing be bound! " Lu Shan frowned, but still casually moved his mouse and was prepared to click on the word [Confirm] …
However, at this time, there was a loud 'bang' as the door behind him was kicked open. Then, a few men with wooden sticks and daggers rushed in.
Lu Shan turned his head around and saw that the people who rushed in were the same people who had chased him all the way here. His expression immediately changed.
F * ck … He was actually found by these people!
However, before Lu Shan could stand up, the guy with two dragons tattooed on his arm raised the stick in his hand and smashed it onto Lu Shan's head.
"Bang!" Lu Shan was hit by the stick. His head was thrown backwards and heavily smashed into the keyboard. The inferior imitation keyboard was smashed into pieces and the broken keyboard was dyed red with fresh blood.
At the same time, Lu Shan's right hand, which was holding the mouse, trembled. The word "sure" on the screen immediately trembled …
In Lu Shan's dazed state, he heard a cold voice in his mind: "Host has confirmed the soul binding Upgrade Box, data modeling program is activated …"
