Chapter 267

The dark red two-handed sword was glowing with a golden light . The mixed aura made it feel slightly bewitching .



[Name: Arrogant Word]

[Type: Sharp Weapon, Heavy Arms]

[Rarity: Legendary]

[Attack: Powerful]

[Attributes: 1 . Arrogance, 2 . Wildness]

[Effects: None]

[Prerequisites: Strength B- Two-Handed (B+ Single-Handed) Sharp Weapon, Heavy Arms (Master)]

[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]

[Remarks: Arrogance will only understand the arrogant ones!]

. . .

[Arrogance: When the sword slashes at an enemy, +1 Strength or Agility for the next attack]

[Wildness: When facing an enemy twice your size, Stamina consumed -30% . When facing an enemy five times your size, Stamina consumed -60% . When facing an enemy 10 times your size, Stamina consumed -90%, Attack +1]

. . .

"Arrogance and Wildness?"

Kieran squinted his eyes when he saw the two attributes of the great sword .

As soon as he saw its Powerful Attack, he had already made his decision, but the double attributes only solidified it .

Kieran wanted to keep the [Arrogant Word] . It would be his main weapon of choice from now on!

Any player out there would have bought and upgraded the corresponding skills to Grand Master for a Legendary weapon .



Compared to a Legendary weapon, a Grand Master basic skill was not a big deal .

Kieran counted all his non-useable items .

He had a [Crushing Spiked Club], two [Pitch-Black Ring]s, a [Skeleton Ring] and a [Piercing Dagger] . He took a screenshot of each of them .

The [Crushing Spiked Club] was a no-brainer now that Kieran had [Arrogant Word] .

The [Pitch-Black Ring]’s attribute overlapped with Kieran’s Transcendence [Undercover] options, so he would put it up for sale as well .

Kieran considered keeping the [Skeleton Ring] if the number of controlled dead bodies could increase more, since all dead bodies’ attributes were unable to surpass F+ .

He was leaning more towards hand-to-hand combat compared to using a dagger during melee combat though, so he decided to sell the [Piercing Dagger] .

When the screenshots were sent to Lawless, his friend was shocked .

. . .

Lawless: Another generous reward!

Lawless: U r really something, 2567!

2567: I need a [Sharp Weapon (Heavy Arms)] Skill Book and some items that could fight positive energy and holy aura .

2567: Help me trade points for the rest!

2567: Be fast and you’ll get commission as usual .

Lawless: No problem! Everyone is still at the Harvest Inn causing a ruckus . It should be easy to sell such good items!

Lawless: As for items that can fight positive energy and holy aura, that’s something one can only find by luck . You can’t search for them . You can substitute them with alchemy consumables though . Is that okay?

2567: Sure .

. . .



Kieran was not surprised by that .

Items that could fight positive energy and holy aura would have to be at least Magical Rank after all .

It would be impossible to search for an item with special requirements .

Substituting it with alchemy consumables was a viable way though .

After finishing talking about business, Lawless immediately messaged Kieran again .

. . .

Lawless: You coming for a drink?


2567: I think I might need to keep my head clear for a while .

Lawless: Drinking is also a way to calm down . Why are you so nervous?

Lawless: I’ve just contacted Lemour . She promised to contact her mechanic friends to forge me new heavy artillery!

2567: That still doesn’t mean I can sleep peacefully . I always tend to rely on myself .

Lawless: Improving urself is a virtue, but so is trusting ur comrades!

2567: I’d prefer to be stronger in front of my comrades .

Lawless: Fine!

Lawless: But do note this…

(After a slight pause, Lawless went into BS mode again . Kieran was smart enough to end the conversation while Lawless was still in trance . Then he contacted Hanses . )

2567: How’s the [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card]?

Hanses: Settled, of course!

Hanses: The fella was willing to sell out, but the price…

(Kieran raised his brow . Obviously, Hanses had been hanging out with Lawless long enough to get affected by his bad habit of sharing only some information and saving the rest to tease him . Luckily, Kieran knew how to deal with that . He just went silent .

After staying quiet for more than 10 seconds, Hanses could not hold back anymore . )

Hanses: U won’t make a lot of friends if you act like this!

2567: The same goes for u, if u keep behaving like Lawless!

Hanses: I’m better than u, u dull fella! U r a youngster, aren’t you? Stop acting like an old geezer killing the mood! No girls will like u!

2567: What’s a girl? Are they edible?

Hanses: . . .

Hanses: Have you eaten ur integrity as well?

2567: Yeah, with a little sauce on it . It was quite crunchy .

(Kieran did not mind fooling around with Hanses, considering he was the one who had started it . He would actually love to, but as time flew by, he needed to end the conversation quickly and get back to business . )

2567: [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card]?

Hanses: 1,000 Points

Hanses: I don’t think it costs that much . [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card]s are as common as chicken bones…

2567: Deal!

2567: Get the points from Lawless . He is selling my things .

. . .

Kieran replied right away, not denying Hanses’ statement .

Just as the description of the [Single Player Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card] claimed, it was useless for a coward, but priceless for a warrior!

Most players were leaning towards the former, but there were a few people who entered the dungeon world willingly .

Truth be told, Kieran would not object to such a method . Every interval between dungeons was time for the player to grow .

If the player could fully utilize that time, they would gain more advantages when they entered the next dungeon .

Even though those advantages might be trivial, they were enough to lead to a different course of action .

Quality over quantity . Kieran knew that rule very well, but sadly, he could not implement it .

Because of his own personal reasons, he could not afford to do so, as he needed to accumulate strength quickly .

Kieran had already accumulated a certain level of strength, but the Killer Organization’s interruption had prolonged his journey once more .

After all, he was no different than a normal human being . If he died at the hands of the Killer Organization, that would be the end for him .

Kieran exchanged a few more words with Hanses and then went offline .

When he took care of his physiological problems, he went back to his game lobby .

His PM tab was pinging with new messages .

Lawless, Hanses and… Blacksmith?

"Blacksmith?"

Kieran was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the name .
