Chapter 227: Chapter 208: Flame Staff
When Lin Yi and the others used the Teleportation Array to leave the Lizardman Tribe, the system notification began to flood the World:
[Hundred Races Event]: Led by the captain "Feng Hua," with team members: "Gifted," "Famous Clan Super Cool," "Little Bean Sprout," "Mute," "Zhan Chen," "Mirror," "Lemon Bunny," "Stable as a Mountain," "Red Eyes," they solved [Decision in the Mist], rescuing the Lizardman Race from crisis. The Lizardman Race has returned to the Hundred Races.
[World Event]: New race available: Lizardman Race. All players of Level 10 and above have one chance to change races; more races will be opened gradually in the future. You only have one chance, so choose wisely.
System: Congratulations on completing the special mission [Decision in the Mist], reward: one random Epic Equipment of current profession; Level +1.
At this point in the game, there was a peculiar phenomenon.
When the name Feng Hua once again appeared on the World screen, players’ perceptions of the event had undergone a radical transformation.
Now players reacted to Feng Hua’s "abnormality" with questioning or amazement.
However, up to now, when the Lizardman Race incident made headlines, you couldn’t find any player questioning Feng Hua on the forums.
Among the top ten hot topics on the gaming forum, unsurprisingly:
Currently, the introduction of the new race (Lizardman Race) occupies the first position.
Whereas the discussion about Feng Hua became quieter.
It seems that unknowingly, Feng Hua’s actions had become normalized by people.
Some joked: If one day, these weren’t done by Feng Hua, it might actually spark heated discussions.
At this time, the second popular topic wasn’t about Feng Hua, but about a new member of Feng Hua’s team called "Mirror."
A lot of information about "Mirror" in the Newbie Village and after leaving the Newbie Village was ’dug up’.
Many were curious about how this sudden appearance "Mirror" managed to join Feng Hua’s Mercenary Corps.
Because of the covetousness for the [Creation Mercenary Corps], many wanted to know what Feng Hua’s recruitment criteria were?
For players, being able to join the [Creation Mercenary Corps] was definitely something worth bragging about.
If Lin Yi lifted the recruitment restriction of the mercenary corps, it was predicted that players trying to join would definitely scramble for it.
The third hot topic involved players’ discussion about the Endless Tower in the Netherworld Domain, which finally delved into speculation about Feng Hua’s strength.
The content revolved almost entirely around the topic of global server shared by the Endless Tower.
And among them were many pieces of information about the gaming content from abroad transmitted from foreign countries.
While players from other countries discussed Feng Hua’s achievements in the Hua Country District, Hua Country District players also paid close attention to every move made by other countries.
Among them was a player from the United States District: ’Satan J.’
He undoubtedly was the subject of the most controversy and discussion among various countries.
Because from the feedback of United States District players, this ’Satan J’ held a status in the United States gaming district that was no lower than Feng Hua’s in the Hua Country District.
Moreover, this ’Satan J’ was also the global ranking number one player in terms of game Level and the first player to reach Level 30.
The various speculations about him never ceased since the start of the game, which was quite similar to Feng Hua’s performance in the Hua Country District.
So many were discussing whose strength between Feng Hua and this Satan J was superior.
Before the global server was opened, it was very clear that the only way to prove this was through the Endless Tower’s ranking.
Right now, Satan J’s ranking could be described as leaving everyone in the dust, currently having reached the 9th level, while the second place had only reached the 6th level.
In contrast, up to this moment, Feng Hua in Hua Country remained inactive.
There were many speculations as to why Feng Hua wasn’t attempting the Tower, but people never doubted Feng Hua’s strength.
Now, players in the Hua Country District were eagerly looking forward to Feng Hua demonstrating his strength.
As all players rushed to the Lizardman Tribe, on the way to Cyan Dragon City Lord’s Mansion, Gifted couldn’t help but grumbled:
"Just one Epic Equipment, compared to that Vice City Lord, this system is too stingy."
Famous Clan Super Cool, however, responded with a smile:
"Yo, now your standards are high, even Epic Equipment doesn’t catch your eye."
Gifted glanced at Famous Clan Super Cool and teased:
"Sounds like you would be interested."
But to Gifted’s disappointment, Famous Clan Super Cool proudly said:
"Actually, I’m quite satisfied, take a look."
Then he shared the information of the Equipment he received:
[Flame Staff]
Weapon
Tier: Epic
Magic Attack: 118－217
Spell Crit: +15%
Critical Strike Damage: +30%
Intelligence: +22
Accurate: +22
Luck: +22

Additional Attribute 1: Flame Damage Bonus +20%
Additional Attribute 2 (Passive): All Fire Skills damage adds a burning effect, causing the target to lose 50+ (current Level) HP continuously for 5 seconds; can trigger once every 10 seconds.
Additional Attribute 3: Reduces all Fire Magic chanting time by 50%.
"Let all evil be reborn in the baptism of flames."
When everyone saw the equipment attributes, even Zhan Chen couldn’t help but exclaim:
"This is completely tailored for you!"
It’s known that the hidden profession inherited by Shuai Diao Zha, Flame Prison Dharma King, is obviously a fire specialist just by the name.
Now with the addition of this equipment, it’s like adding wings to a tiger.
Tian Ci was dumbfounded:
"Damn, is this epic equipment disguised as legendary equipment?"
Even Lin Yi was surprised. Just this one piece of equipment is enough to enhance Shuai Diao Zha’s strength by several notches.
"The attributes are indeed top-notch."
Lin Yi glanced at the equipment in his backpack that was rewarded by a mission: [Great Mage Robe] Lv26 Epic
In terms of attributes, it wasn’t as superb as Shuai Diao Zha’s, but it was still much better than the level 18 epic one he was wearing.
Then Lin Yi put on the equipment, and everyone suddenly brightened up:
"Wow, Feng, this equipment looks cool on you!"
Red Eyes couldn’t help but say:
"Looks good."
The little girl was even more surprised, tugging Zhang Xinying:
"Sister Ying, look, Brother Feng looks so handsome now."
Zhang Xinying looked over, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
But she said:
"It’s okay."
...
The rest of them all approved of Lin Yi’s equipment.
It did look much better than what Lin Yi wore before.
Lin Yi’s previous magic robe was mainly in a dark color scheme.
But now this one was predominantly white.
The edges of the robe were inlaid with gold, giving a refreshing feeling.
Especially those mysterious patterns outlined with gold thread on the robe, which dramatically changed the temperament.
As expected, as the name suggests, Lin Yi really looked more like a Great Mage now.
Lin Yi himself didn’t care much; as long as the attributes are good, it doesn’t matter whether it looks good or not.
Amidst the laughter and chat, they soon arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.
But unexpectedly for Lin Yi, standing next to Babylon was an unexpected person, who looked at Lin Yi with a mysterious smile: Andre.
When seeing Lin Yi, Babylon greeted him moodily and said:
"Vice City Lord Andrew has told me everything; come with me."
Babylon then said to Tian Ci and others behind Lin Yi:
"Everyone, please wait here. I need to discuss something with your leader."
Upon hearing this, Tian Ci and others had no choice but to comply since the City Lord himself had spoken:
"Okay."
However, Lin Yi spoke discontentedly:
"They were involved in this too, why can’t they come along?"
"Well..."
Babylon glanced at Lin Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Then come with me together."
Andre, smiling, looked at Lin Yi and said:
"I didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon."
Lin Yi chuckled:
"Indeed, I didn’t expect Vice City Lord Andre to be so interested in this matter."
Then Lin Yi bypassed Andre and followed Babylon to the back of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Andre watched Lin Yi walk past him, the smile on his face turned gloomy but only for a moment, and then he returned to normal and followed behind.
In an open area behind the City Lord’s Mansion, Babylon pointed to the open space and said:
"Put it out here."
Lin Yi was a bit surprised:
"Here?"
Babylon had a look as if to say, why not?
Thinking about Babylon’s Demigod-level strength, it should be more than enough to handle a mere level 60 BOSS.
Then Lin Yi, without much thought, took out that scroll and said:
"Then I’ll start now."
