Chapter 35: These Long Attribute Lines Are Seriously Brutal |
Where is this?
Just as Vivian was feeling confused, her gaze suddenly caught another figure within the space.
It was a young-looking woman with a slender figure and stunning beauty, possessing long, radiant golden hair. Her lively golden eyes blinked at Vivian.
She wore a robe adorned with dazzling gemstones and metallic ornaments, and a cloak woven entirely from gold coins—making Vivian subconsciously swallow.
The person before her gave Vivian a deep understanding of what true luxury meant.
“So who is she?”
But the moment that thought appeared, a name surfaced in her mind.
【Goddess of Waukeen】
【The deity governing knowledge, protection, travel, and trade.】
This was the first time Vivian had truly seen a god, and the impact on her young mind was immense.
At that moment, the goddess pointed lightly toward Vivian.
Golden light entered Vivian’s body.
Vivian felt as though some special change was occurring within her.
“Th-this is?”
Before she could react, she suddenly felt dizzy.
When Vivian regained her senses, she saw the bracelet in her hand emitting a dazzling light.
This light illuminated the dim room as if it were broad daylight.
“Damn, that’s a huge effect!”
Seeing the commotion caused by identifying a legendary piece of equipment, Jiang Chen was startled.
In fact, from the beginning, Jiang Chen had expected that identifying equipment would cause some kind of disturbance.
That was why he had deliberately chosen a secluded place—to avoid attracting attention.
Now it seemed his thinking had been correct.
The reason was simple—when identifying high-quality equipment, most games had a common trait.
They would broadcast it to the entire world.
But since this game had no chat interface or global announcements, Jiang Chen guessed it would reflect it in other ways.
For example, flashy visual effects indicating the birth of a treasure.
And now, it turned out he was absolutely right.
“Good thing I had the foresight, otherwise this kind of commotion would definitely bring trouble.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked at the bracelet.
【Grand Mage Casas’ Bracelet (Legendary)】
【HP +130, MP +100, Strength +13, Intelligence +28】
【3 times daily, no cost required, casts 5-Ring spells: (Summon Elemental LV5, Flame Strike LV5, Stone Wall LV5)】
“Holy—!” Jiang Chen subconsciously rubbed his eyes and cursed.
“This luck is insane!”
The attribute distribution from the identification left Jiang Chen stunned.
After playing games for so long, honestly, this was the first time he had experienced such luck.
Although it wasn’t truly perfect-tier attributes, Jiang Chen knew himself well—given his terrible luck, getting this kind of result was already unbelievable.
“Although the distribution leaned toward HP and Strength, plus a long attribute line… it’s still pretty good.”
Actually, long attribute effects were quite useful in the early game.
But legendary equipment could already be considered endgame gear.
As levels increased later on, long attribute lines would become less valuable.
Jiang Chen had roughly calculated the damage in this game—5-Ring spells typically dealt around 7,000 to 8,000 damage, while stronger spells could reach 15,000 to 16,000.
This was also what made his class so broken—his 1-Ring damage could rival 5-Ring spells.
Based on his estimates, if those HP and Strength points had instead been allocated to Intelligence, it would’ve increased by at least 100.
If placed into MP alone, it would’ve increased by at least 1000.
That kind of boost would make his damage skyrocket.
But Jiang Chen was satisfied.
The probability of all attributes being perfectly allocated into useful stats was lower than winning the lottery.
“But this is already good enough.”
“At least for now, the long attribute effects are still useful.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked at another bonus.
【Congratulations to the Player for identifying a legendary-quality equipment using gold coins. Due to exceptional luck, you have received a blessing from the Goddess of Waukeen.】
【Blessing of Waukeen (Knowledge): Intelligence +20】
【Blessing of Waukeen (Wealth): Gold Blessing (When using active skills, you may consume gold coins to increase skill damage. Every 10 gold coins increases damage by 1%, up to a maximum of 100%.)】
Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised by this blessing.
“So this blessing has a chance to trigger when identifying legendary or higher equipment?”
“Is it a one-time trigger, or can it happen multiple times?”
“There’s no explanation from the developers at all.”
In the end, Jiang Chen could only treat it as a hidden reward or achievement bonus.
But right now, what he wanted to know most was how much his strength had increased.
Putting on the bracelet, Jiang Chen immediately opened the character panel.
【Vivian Violet】
【Magic Ring: One-Ring】
【Class: Peace Princess】
【HP: 330, MP: 650, Defense: 23, Strength: 15, Agility: 14, Intelligence: 100, Perception: 24】
【Skills: C4 Shaping (Merged Skill: Corrosion Curse) LV1 - Weapon Blessing LV1】
【Divine Gifts: Goddess Blessing (Knowledge) - Gold Blessing LV1 - Montage Technique (LV1)】
【Equipment: Misty Moon Dream (Rare) - Source of Magic (Exquisite) - Grand Mage Casas’ Bracelet (Legendary)】
【Overall Combat Power: 5700】
Looking at the panel, Jiang Chen subconsciously swallowed.
“5700! Damn, these long attribute lines hit hard.”
He had expected that with this set of equipment and the newly obtained blessing, his stats would increase significantly.
But he never expected the increase to be this massive.
Based on his estimates, his combat power should’ve been around 4500–4600 at most.
Yet it jumped straight to 5700.
“Let me test it.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen opened the quest panel, moved the cursor to the bracelet, and clicked to unequip it.
5700 → 3400
“Pfft!” Jiang Chen nearly spat.
“Damn, that’s over 2300 combat power inflated!”
He was certain the long attribute line alone contributed over a thousand.
As if thinking of something, Jiang Chen put the equipment back on and opened the Leaderboard.
【Eternal Era Combat Power Leaderboard:】
【1st Place: Human, Combat Power 5700】
【2nd Place: Dragon Race, 4500】
【3rd Place: Dark Elf, 3700】
……
Seeing the rankings, Jiang Chen slapped his thigh and almost burst out laughing.
“Haha, I bet the other players’ brains are buzzing right now.”
