"You’re awake? I’ve already healed your wounds."
As the emaciated Assassin player opened his eyes, Wang Zhifan spoke. He was curious how this person would react after being rescued—would they imdiately vanish into stealth, or would they reflexively launch an attack?
However, the situation wasn’t as intense as Wang Zhifan had imagined. He then saw the Assassin player’s surprised look at him for a second, and then look at themselves, before getting up slightly feebly from the ground.
"Thank you, I thought I was done for."
The emaciated Assassin man, wearing a mask and clad in black, sincerely thanked Wang Zhifan.
"No problem, it was just a small favor."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhifan smiled slightly, remaining hidden behind the conical hat under the moonlight, while putting the small speaker in his personal space.
"Is there anything you’d need to do?"
Seeing his mysterious savior, the emaciated Assassin man proactively asked, appearing to dislike owing favors.
"No need, I saved you just on the way, you don’t need to do anything for , nor provide any reward."
Wang Zhifan shook his head slightly after hearing this, then suddenly rembered sothing and asked:
"Can you tell your player level?"
"Lv26."
The emaciated Assassin player answered without much hesitation.
"Level 26... hmm, seems the dungeon difficulty is sowhat similar to the previous one..."
Wang Zhifan pondered slightly. He had always been curious about the dungeon’s difficulty level. Now, he had so rough understanding, thankfully it wasn’t as challenging as he had worried at the beginning.
"Alright then, hopefully, we’ll et again."
Soon, Wang Zhifan planned to part ways with this person. After doing this good deed, he had other matters needing attention and couldn’t stay for a chat.
"Are you planning to visit that equipnt stash?"
Before Wang Zhifan could turn to leave, the emaciated Assassin man suddenly asked.
"Yeah, have you been there?"
Wang Zhifan focused his gaze back on him.
"Hmm... I got severely injured in that warehouse after being surrounded by monsters. By the ti I arrived, the equipnt had almost been destroyed by monsters, leaving only scraps. The best thing I found in there was this, if you want it, take it. Just get a craftsman to repair it, then you can normally use it."
The emaciated Assassin man shared so relevant information with Wang Zhifan, then took out a white rare-level ring from his personal space, handing it to Wang Zhifan as if intending to give it to him.
[Ring of Light (Rare) (Slightly Damaged)]
[...]
Wang Zhifan glanced over the ring, quickly recognizing it from the treasure trove, except now it appeared damaged.
"I ntioned I don’t need a reward, but I still appreciate the intel."
He shook his head at the emaciated Assassin player, then turned back and continued in his intended direction.
Seeing this, the Assassin man didn’t say much. He returned the rare-level ring to his personal space, then quickly disappeared.
Soon after, using the Wind Concealing Conical Hat to also enter stealth, Wang Zhifan arrived at his mory’s stash containing a warehouse full of rare-level equipnt. Like the Assassin man said earlier, the place was now a complete ss, with only monster corpses and destroyed equipnt deliberately left in tatters by the monsters.
"Seems he was right... the monsters in this dungeon must be affected by sothing, even chewing on equipnt."
Originally intending to increase his rare-level item reserves here, Wang Zhifan lanted slightly but wasn’t too upset, as rare-level equipnt was becoming less helpful against his needs. Even if the equipnt was intact, it wouldn’t significantly benefit him, he was rely visiting on the way to collect sothing.
As for picking up scraps to have a craftsman repair them, he lacked interest, finding it ti-consuming compared to simply finding elite monsters and selecting their equipnt.
Thus, in the forthcoming ti, Wang Zhifan returned to his rhythm of searching for high-level monsters in the Rogge Town ruins, using his powerful perception like radar scanning nearby valuable monsters, approaching under stealth upon spotting a target, then killing them instantly to select equipnt. Sotis, he’d use the Spirit’s icy force for instant kills, other tis the Wolf-Slaying Blade for a quick slice, avoiding Thunder Dragon Fury altogether to prevent triggering lightning chaos unnecessarily for mass monster cleanup.
This scenario made Wang Zhifan realize not all situations call for high-level equipnt. Sotis, supposedly ordinary equipnt ets the reality’s needs better, deciding to keep the Wolf-Slaying Blade for retirent, performing tasks Thunder Dragon Fury inconveniently handles.
After substantial effort through the night, Wang Zhifan’s personal space gained several rare-level pieces, gathered post-killing elite monsters, these items not particularly strong in type or attributes, but often choice was limited, not wanting fine layers, leaving only these.
