Chapter 646 - 471: I Want Both Inscriptions and Cards
After the ogre fell, the flames on its body gradually went out.
That also proved they had truly defeated it.
Because in the City of Eternal Fire, all living magical beasts are burning; once they die, the flames extinguish.
When its flames were completely gone, everyone finally felt at ease approaching and surrounded it.
"If we carry this boss back, we can definitely show off to the seniors."
"And I feel like the whole corpse should trade for quite a lot of good stuff at the exchange station."
But when everyone took out their processing tools, they found that even going all out, it was hard to leave much of a mark on the ogre’s corpse.
Even with its tenacity dropping somewhat after death, they still seemed to have no way to deal with this guy.
It probably needed someone with Long Ren–level strength using these tools and spending a long time to separate it on a large scale.
Li Pu didn’t think too much about it. He walked to the ogre’s head and squatted down.
Every ogre has horns growing from the top of its head, big or small, long or short.
He’d handled ogres before, and usually their related items were the horns on their heads.
He reached out and pressed down on the top of its head. As expected, this ogre was no exception.
Among ogres it was a relatively odd one; its horns were flat and broad, particularly inconspicuous.
But running a hand over it, he could feel a hard structure there.
The information of the related item immediately flooded into his mind.
[LV1 - Fire City Fire (A)] 132/100
Passive effect: Greatly increases mastery over fire attributes
Attribute requirement: None
Type requirement: None
Race requirement: Human Demon-type + Cursed-type
Previously, neither the fire zombies nor the bat-flames had provided any related items.
So from this first related item in the instance, Li Pu gleaned some information.
These magical beasts whose bodies were on fire didn’t seem to be species that are naturally aflame like fire elementals or fire pincered scorpions, but rather had been afflicted by some curse from the Fire City.
You could tell because this skill clearly increases fire attribute mastery, yet has no attribute requirement at all.
Obviously, that ogre just now had no fire-attribute methods, so even owning this skill was completely useless to it.
Li Pu figured there were three ways to use this related item.
Either let the straw man acquire it and fuse it into [Willpower], since it’s also a passive.
Or let the straw man acquire it and fuse it into [Small Fireball]; that skill is only B-rank, the lowest rank among all its skills.
Otherwise, let Bu Bu acquire it and then give it to the straw man through throwing.
Li Pu himself leaned more toward the first and second options, especially the second.
But since the straw man wasn’t with him right now, he could only hope its shelf life wouldn’t be too short.
Because on-site disassembly was inconvenient, after some discussion they decided to have Qian Shanshan put the ogre into her storage space first and sell it at the exchange station after they left. As for Li Pu, he pre-booked its head horn in advance and didn’t take a cut of the money.
In order to store the full ogre, Qian Shanshan practically emptied her entire storage space to barely squeeze it in.
"Everyone, don’t forget there’s still something here."
After dealing with the ogre, Li Yilou reminded them.
He was holding the ogre’s big basket, trying to lift it, but alas, he had the will but not the strength.
"Some of the bricks inside are high-quality magical equipment."
Liu Sha Fa explained.
It turned out that some seniors in the past hadn’t been able to beat this ogre, but had luckily gotten the bricks it carried on its back, so everyone was familiar with them.
"Damn, it really is a three-no product."
Long Ren’s luck was pretty good. He casually picked one up and found it was indeed magical equipment.
The so-called "three-no product" referred to magical equipment that had no requirements for the summoned beast.
Those words made Li Pu’s heart stir, because three-no magical equipment was equally suitable for him to use personally.
After on-site counting and sorting, they found that the basket of bricks contained a total of 8 pieces of identical magical equipment.
The rest were just ordinary bricks, same as the ogre’s tools—things with no real value.
The bricks were bound with a unique-owner rule, meaning each person could own at most one piece.
Li Pu easily got one of them.
"Nice stuff."
When he held it in his hand, his face showed delight.
[Stone of Human Demon (A)]
Attached effect: Increases own Strength and Spiritual Power
Attribute requirement: None
Type requirement: None
Race requirement: None
Boosting Strength is always a good property, and even more so for Li Pu.
With his fighting style, he never thought his Strength was too high.
But the true value of the [Stone of Human Demon] lay in its ability to increase Spiritual Power.
Effects like that were extremely rare.
For summoned beasts, increasing Spiritual Power often yielded benefits in many aspects.
For example: sharper perception, higher energy cap, greater power for certain skills, stronger resistance in some areas, and so on.
For a Summoner, it was even more important.
It affected both Summoner skills and contract progression.
This was the first time Li Pu had encountered magical equipment he could use himself that increased Spiritual Power, so it was quite precious.
In other people’s eyes, it looked like he put it into his storage space, but in reality he directly bound and equipped it, letting it merge into his body.
"Hoo..."
Apart from his Strength increasing, a wave of comfort also immediately spread out from his head.
