Chapter 20 Beneath the Bustling City

【The Other Shore Flower of Rebirth】: When worn, it can block one fatal attack and increases magic resistance by 30%.

【Blood Jade of Rebirth】: When worn, magic consumption is reduced by 50%, the maximum magic power is increased by 10%, and magic power is restored based on 10% of the ratio of damage dealt to magic power consumed.

【Bloodline of Rebirth】2-piece set effect: After activating this bond, the mana gathering (casting) speed is reduced by 20%, and attacks have a 【life steal】 effect.

[Lifesteal]: Restores 1% of the damage dealt to the user.

In the bustling streets of Wiesdorf, Modie sat on a bench next to a melon stall, admiring two treasures in his hands.

According to the game's settings, Yvinel's two voice relics can be obtained through farming, and the set effects for white, green, blue, purple, and gold are all the same.

The only difference is that they have top-tier affixes that even the luckiest players can't get:

Critical hit rate, critical hit damage, mana regeneration efficiency, and increased magic damage are all present in the initial substats, and all values ​​are the highest that can be obtained through farming.

Every subsequent enhancement, whether it was because Ivinel had some kind of cheat or not, perhaps because she was the creator of this set of sound artifacts, all ended up on double burst damage, and the stats were maxed out!

thump -- thump -- thump --

The midday bells rang out from the distant church bell tower, echoing through every street in the city.

"Boss, how much is this melon?"

Mao Die had been lying in wait for a long time. Hearing the noise, he rose up and made a provocative statement towards his first target.

For no other reason than his possible status as an accomplice... The human remains on his desk hadn't been wiped clean yet; perhaps he mistook the blood from Furlyn's injury for watermelon juice.

The melon stall owner was square-shaped, with an honest-looking square face that suggested he was a decent person. He was also patting the watermelons in his arms with a simple smile.

"(The elephant roars) — One ten-star stone."

Star Stones are the culmination of gacha currency in the second game. Their name is inspired by the Primal Stones of Genshin Impact, the Star Stones of Honkai Impact, and the Star Sounds of the Rising Tide. Their appearance is a blue and pink crystal with the three superimposed on the same layer.

Although there's no need to draw cards anymore, it's a rare currency that even the commonly used trading currency, Lamo, can't buy... There's not even a unit of measurement used, is this boss a black-hearted merchant?

"What's up? Is your melon rind made of gold, or are the melon seeds made of gold?"

"Buy it or don't, are you just here to cause trouble?"

To speed things up, he disdained arguing with the boss and just wanted to cut the melon open as quickly as possible.

"Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe? Wind Chop..."

He chopped down the melons and the melon stand with a single palm strike, severing them all with his qi blade.

The bright red flesh of the melon oozed juice from the cut surface, quickly spreading all over the ground.

The surrounding crowd is like the black seeds of this melon; the cautious ones escape as quickly as fallen seeds, while the busybodies linger like seeds in the pulp.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mao Die confirmed yet another unsettling fact:

This melon isn't a raw, unripe one!

"Look, a greenhorn!"

But he insisted that this was a greenhorn, because he was there to cause trouble.

The melon shop owner's expression changed.

"You're trying to split my melon, aren't you?"

Even without his henchmen, the melon boss of this world was still incredibly brave, getting up to argue with Mao Die.

"How about I make you bleed even more?"

Mao Die was ruthless and didn't talk much. He pulled out his magic wand and went straight for it, pointing it at Mao Die's large stomach.

"Wind Rope..."

Without a sharp knife and without drawing blood, Mao Die had no choice but to show mercy in order not to cause too much trouble.

He used the silver wind to cover the other person's stomach, then tied it tightly...

All that could be heard was the melon boss's scream, which sounded like "Brother Hao," and Mao Die turned around with a wicked grin and fled towards the deep well not far away.

"Wind Enchant——"

He walked ahead, breezing with the wind, while the melon vendor scrambled behind like a dog.

He looked as if he were leashed, and with Mao Die pulling him along, he could only crawl with difficulty, using both his hands and feet.

"I'll try this wonderful item first."

Before jumping into the well, Mao Die first put on the two sound artifacts, in case he needed them on his way to find Furlyn.

After dressing, he grinned and looked at the melon vendor wriggling on the ground. With a flick of his cane and a chant, he began:

"Showing off will make you soar, Wind Up..."

The melon vendor leaped up in response, while Mao Die did a somersault.

"Gravity Zero..."

As he landed, he initiated a weightlessness attack, and then, just as the melon boss was late, he launched a series of copied attacks.

"I'm going to die, ugh ...

"It stinks! Shut up! Air Oscillate..."

Mao Die punched the melon vendor squarely in the face, breaking his large nose. The gushing blood choked him, preventing him from roaring in anger.

"I'll give you a chance to live: that blonde girl with orange eyes, the second young lady of the Cecilia family, are you in cahoots with the kidnappers?"

"Spare me, sir! I... I'm just running a small business, I was forced into this situation..."

The melon vendor, having been thrown and beaten, was unrecognizable. He shook his head desperately, out of pain and fear.

"What do you mean!"

Without any mercy, Maodie shoved the staff into his mouth full of yellow teeth.

"The second young lady and I inquired about the whereabouts of a cat. She said it had a round head and the air of a lion or tiger in its eyebrows and eyes."

Just as the younger brother was about to say he hadn't heard, those men in black suddenly jumped out...

"and then?"

Maodie pulled out his staff as a reward for his honest confession.

"These guys are street thugs. They say they're with a young master from the academy named Heissen. I've been paying them protection money all this time, how dare I disobey them?"

What? Huysen? What's he doing here? Does this guy want to die even faster?

"Stop explaining, get to the point!"

The staff was thrust back in, the exact same motion almost absurd.

"Without saying a word, they pounced on the second young lady and even ordered the servants to hold her down and slash her with a knife... Let me tell you, we wouldn't dare do that!"

As he was talking, the melon vendor actually scared himself into tears. Blood and tears mixed together, making him look rather pitiful.

"What happened next?"

Out of pity for the weak, and also out of helplessness in his tolerance, Mao Die pulled out his staff again.

Of course, each time it is pulled out, it is also to prepare for the next insertion.

"I dared not kill her, nor dare I save her; I only dared to lend a hand and hold her down a little..."

"really?"

To intimidate, the magic wand was shoved into the melon vendor's mouth again.

"Really? Really! It was just my bad luck. The Second Miss was fighting with them, but she was outnumbered and accidentally fell down."

She fell? Hmm, if that's the case, then she must have been injured at that moment.

The melon vendor's sudden kneeling and terrified reaction confirmed Mao Die's suspicions.

"The young lady's head hit the corner of the table, only causing a minor cut and a little bleeding. She... perhaps because she was from a well-to-do family and took good care of herself, she just fainted and was kidnapped."

"Telling the truth is the wise choice."

Mao Die pulled out his cane to confirm his approval.

"So they jumped into the sewer from this well?"

"That's right, that's right."

The melon vendor's head never stopped moving, and he even knocked a small dent into the stone slab that had never been worn down by water.

"You should pretend you know nothing about what happened between us down there, but you can embellish what happened up there yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"

The melon vendor continued to swallow the cane.

"I understand! I understand! I understand! Please, sir, have mercy!"

The melon vendor remained kneeling and kowtowing, his desperate cries like those of someone who had lost their parents.

"Hmph, whatever."

Maodie imitated its master's posture, tossing its head arrogantly and letting out a cold snort, "Wind up..."

With a wave of his cane, the melon vendor rose into the air and soared upwards.

"Wind Flow...Link Break..."

With another wave of his hand and a blast of air, the melon vendor landed safely by the well, preventing him from falling back into the sewer.

Meanwhile, Modie had already removed the sound shield and inserted his wand into the water, pressing it against the ground to sense the vibrations of sound waves in the air...

"Air Track Capture..."

The humid air vibrated, and tiny, invisible water droplets floated up and down with it.

And the enemy, according to Mao Die's keen sense of the wind, is right there in the dark, where you can't see your hand in front of you!

Go straight, turn left, turn right, then go straight again, heading north, and you'll be there to rescue the damsel in distress.

As for the darkness... he has night vision since he can transform into a cat, so he can just leave whenever he wants!
