“These two Magical weapons are not bad indeed.”

A rare smile appeared on Lu Jin’s face after he was done putting away the items.

Lu Jin’s words made Xu Xiaotian and Tang Yan curious. However, as they were Lu Jin’s bodyguards, it was not good for them to ask him about it. Hence, they could only watch from the side.

On the other hand, Lu Shixue did not have such reservations. She looked at Lu Jin, who was sizing up the weapon in his hand, and asked curiously, “Is the quality very high?”

“It’s not bad. It’s Grade ‘C’.” Lu Jin looked at Lu Shixue and Tang Yan, who could not help but step forward. He smiled and said, “Take a look and you’ll know.”

Lu Jin then sent the data of the three weapons to Lu Shixue, Tang Yan and Xu Xiaotian. He had no intention of hiding anything.

The Coat of Silver Moon: Rare

Defense: Grade ‘B’

Endurance: Grade ‘C’

Effects: Basic Shadowmeld (One’s aura would be hidden and would not be easily detected.)

The Shield of Wind Scales: Magical

Defense: Grade ‘C’

Endurance: Grade ‘D’

Effects: Intermediate Hardiness (Impact would be weakened.) Intermediate Iron Wall (Defense would be enhanced.)

The Sword of Lake Light: Magical-type

Attack: Grade ‘C’

Endurance: Grade ‘C’

Effects: Intermediate Sharpness (Attack would be increased.) Basic Lightning (Lightning attribute would be added to Attack, with a small chance of paralyzing the target.)

“These two Magical weapons are too powerful!” After Tang Yan had finished reading, she could not help but click her tongue. “It’s fine if their Grade is ‘C’, but their effects are actually intermediate. The Magical weapon that was auctioned at the City of Light Auction House had only two basic effects.”

Magical weapons and equipment were different from Rare ones. They could have two effects, and there was a certain chance of having intermediate effects. However, the chances of having intermediate effects were very low. More than 90% of them were basic effects. In fact, those basic effects were the most ordinary ones. It was rare to have an attribute effect like Lightning.

“This Rare-type coat isn’t bad either. Although it’s Rare-type, its Defense is Grade ‘B’. It also has the Rare effect of Shadowmeld. It’s considered superior among top-grade equipment,” commented Xu Xiaotian.

As a First-Class Bodyguard of Fantasy Light Group, the Rare-type attire that he wore were only of Grade ‘C’, and the effect was only the most ordinary Basic Hardiness. It could only reduce the damage slightly. Compared to the Rare effect of Shadowmeld, it was far inferior in combat.

Tang Yan nodded in agreement. She had to admit that the Coat of Silver Moon was much better than their attire.

Xu Xiaotian and Tang Yan’s words made Chen Kemeng, who was watching from afar, envious.

Magical equipment was extremely rare in the City of Light. Even in the hunting teams of the three major groups, there were less than 50 pieces of Magical equipment. Those were accumulated over many years. More than 90% of the Magical equipment was ordinary, and less than 10% was of superior quality.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment in Fantasy World were not eternal. Sometimes, due to intense battles, the weapons and equipment would be damaged. There was no way to repair them. Hence, from time to time, they would be destroyed in battle…

Just as Chen Kemeng was feeling envious, Lu Jin gave Xu Xiaotian the Shield of Wind Scales and gave Tang Yan the Coat of Silver Moon. He put away the Sword of Lake Light.

“CEO Lu?” Xu Xiaotian and Tang Yan looked at Lu Jin in confusion.

“You two deserve these.” Lu Jin said directly. “The two of you spent a huge amount of Basic Restoration Potion to stall the monster. These two pieces of equipment will be your compensation.”

“CEO Lu, these two pieces of equipment are too precious. They have far exceeded the price of the potions.” Xu Xiaotian rejected Lu Jin’s offer. “Besides, we are your bodyguards. It was our duty.”

“That’s right. Please take back these weapons,” Tang Yan said.

Lu Jin shook his head as he did not accept their refusal. He looked at the two of them and smiled. “Listen to me. You said that you two are my bodyguards, so it’s good for me if you become stronger. I might encounter such a battle again in the future, so just keep them for now. If you feel apologetic, you can treat them as a loan from me.”

As an advanced internal beta tester, Lu Jin knew very well about Fantasy World. Fantasy World was not a single-player game, but a team game.

Xu Xiaotian and Tang Yan were both rare experts. It would be a pity he didn’t rope them in.

The most important thing was that when the two of them are stronger, it would be more convenient for his endeavors. After all, he still had a lot of crystal residues. If Xu XIaotian and Tang Yan had that same strength when a stronger mutated monster appeared, he would be the one in trouble.

“Then, we will borrow these two pieces of equipment from you, CEO Lu. When we are no longer your bodyguards, we will return them to you.”

Xu Xiaotian and Tang Yan understood what Lu Jin meant and did not reject him. After all, they did not want to get embroiled in Lu Jin’s battle and be defeated easily.

“He’s giving away those weapons just like that?” Chen Kemeng was impressed by Lu Jin’s actions. If it were her, she would definitely not have given them to anyone other than her trusted aides. She then walked up to Lu Jin and congratulated him. “Congratulations, CEO Lu. It’s rare to get two Magical weapons at once in the City of Light. Your strength has increased considerably.”

“I’m just lucky this time.” Lu Jin smiled.

With the Sword of Lake Light, his strength had indeed increased greatly. At least in terms of Attack, he was comparable to a Junior Adventurer.

“Perhaps.” Chen Kemeng smiled faintly. She did not believe a single word of Lu Jin’s. Then, she immediately changed the topic. “I wonder if CEO Lu intends to sell those materials. If you’re willing to sell them, our arena is willing to offer a price that will satisfy you.”

Magical weapons and equipment were the foundation of every major group. As the fiancé of Xia Qingyao, the CEO of the Fantasy Light Group, Lu Jin could not sell them, so Chen Kemeng did not harbor any hopes for that.

However, it was different for materials.

Each of the three major groups of the City of Light had their own strengths. Among them, the Sun and Moon Group specialized in crafting items and could create many Rare or even Magical items.

There was a shortage of items in the City of Light. Although many groups and families were trying to develop that area, they could not compete with the Sun and Moon Group.

The major groups in the City of Light and even the Fantasy Light Group had no choice but to buy from the Sun and Moon Group. The condition of purchase was that the Fantasy Light Group sold the various materials obtained to the Sun and Moon Group. According to the quantity and quality of the materials sold, the quantity and quality of items that the Fantasy Light Group could buy would be different.

Therefore, the Fantasy Light Group never stopped their people from selling materials to the Sun and Moon Group. In fact, they even welcomed them.

“Selling materials?” Lu Jin hesitated.

He might not be able to use those materials, especially the Magical ones, for now, but with the Special Item Lottery, he might obtain a formula or an item blueprint. It would be difficult to purchase Magical materials then.

“CEO Lu, don’t be in a hurry to reject me.” Chen Kemeng seemed as if she had read Lu Jin’s mind. She said confidently, “The price I’m offering is a price that no major group in the City of Light can offer.”

“A price that no other group can offer?” Lu Jin was instantly curious.

“This is also a secret of our Bestial Battle Arena.” Chen Kemeng smiled plainly. “CEO Lu, do you know why all the Senior Adventurers in the City of Light, and even the managers of the major groups, keep coming to our arena?”

“Don’t tell me it’s not for rapid advancement?” Lu Jin shook his head. “No, the monsters that Senior Adventurers need can’t be provided by the Bestial Battle Arena. They must be here for something else.”

“CEO Lu is right.” Chen Kemeng smiled. “They are indeed here for something else. To be exact, they are here for the Sacred Grounds of our Bestial Battle Arena!”

“Sacred Grounds?” Lu Jin thought of the younger Lu Jin when he heard that. He could not help but ask, “Is there anything special about that place?”

In the Bestial Battle Arena, he did not see anything special nor did he feel anything special. However, the younger Lu Jin had stayed there for an entire day, which was really strange.

The Sacred Grounds that Chen Kemeng mentioned might really have something to do with it.
