Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Bloodthirsty Pupil and Fierce Feather Bow

After finishing all that, Char turned his attention to the necklace at the very center of the altar.

It was the item that appeared on the altar along with the Praying Power after the task settlement, which was the equipment rewarded by the task.

This was a necklace resembling a carved Wild Boar Tooth, made of an unknown type of metal, in a black iron color with faint traces of blood within.

The pendant was also black, though it was unclear how it was dyed, with a carved, hollow eye in the middle of the long tooth, appearing blood-red.

From a distance, it looked like a black long tooth with a blood-red eye in its center.

It had a wild, somewhat sinister flavor.

[Bloodthirsty Pupil]

[Attributes]: Strength +2, Constitution +2

[Skills]: Bloodthirst (Level 1)

[Introduction]: A necklace made from a tooth dropped by a Bear Goblin chieftain and a small amount of precious metal, it enhances the wearer’s strength and constitution, and grants the power of bloodthirst. The downside is that long-term wear can make the wearer impulsive and bloodthirsty, but the effect is rather mild.

Char initially thought the rewarded equipment would be as smelly as a nail head hammer, especially considering the name “Bloodthirsty Pupil” was obviously related to “bloodthirst” and Bear Goblins.

Unexpectedly, the necklace was not only odorless but also good-looking, which gave Char a pleasant surprise.

Char reached out and picked up the necklace, and as soon as he touched it, he felt a strange power entering his body, which delighted him.

He had been a bit worried that he might not meet the requirements for the Bloodthirsty Pupil equipment, but now there was no need to worry.

Instantly adding four points to his attributes and acquiring the “Bloodthirst” Level 1 skill greatly enhanced his own strength.

While not yet ready to combat Level 4 adventurers alone, he could now barely manage against most Level 3 adventurers, even though he only possessed the “Universal Arrow Skill” and his attributes had not yet reached the level a Level 3 archer should possess.

After putting on the Bloodthirsty Pupil, Char didn’t rush to leave the Prayer Room.

Next, he planned to use a piece of the Prayer System he had never used before — equipment.

Equipment was also a major consumer of Praying Power in the game, though in the game, it wasn’t the players who wore the equipment, but the Magic Pets, and of course, the equipment would only be displayed in the equipment slots, not on the Magic Pets’ images.

In reality, Char figured that Magic Pets probably couldn’t wear the equipment, but he and his future subordinates certainly needed it, and as the number of his subordinates increased, so would the demand for equipment. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The reason he had waited until today to start praying for equipment

was firstly because Praying Power had been too precious before; he had wished he could split a strand in two for use, not having enough Praying Power to squander.

Secondly, at the time, it was clear that praying for Magic Pets was more helpful.

Now, having been extremely lucky to recruit such a powerful Magic Pet as the Clover Mantis, he didn’t need to recruit more Magic Pets in the short term and naturally had spare Praying Power to pray for equipment.

As an archer, even his dagger and necklace were magical items, yet his main equipment, the bow and arrow, was still just ordinary, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Soon, Char summoned the Prayer System and selected equipment.

Equipment prayers weren’t as random as Magic Pet prayers and Plant prayers; though it was another matter whether he could pray for good items, he could still choose which part of the equipment and type he wanted.

In this regard, the system was still quite user-friendly.

Now, Char chose a bow and arrow.

‘Hope it yields something good!’

Looking at the altar shining with the Prayer Light, he silently prayed in his heart.

Equipment obtained by wishing with Prayer Fragments could be divided into three levels.

The least impressive gear would probably be the Wild Boar Dagger and Bloodthirsty Pupil. Their increased attributes are limited, generally including only a Level 0 Skill or Level 1 Skill.

Most of the time, the gear obtained from prayers is of this level.

Higher-level equipment is a low probability event.

As for the highest-level equipment? That’s an extremely low probability event; in reality it’s unknown, but in the game, the studio set the probability at 0.1%.

It takes incredible luck to wish for such items; the only way to increase the likelihood is to use higher-level Prayer Crystals for praying.

For Char, even the guaranteed minimum draw would be acceptable, but since there was a chance for better equipment, how could he not fantasize about it?

In the dazzling Prayer Light, a beautifully crafted bow and arrow appeared on the altar, along with a fine quiver.

The longbow was predominantly emerald green, but its ends were red and carved into feather shapes, making them look like two red feathers.

[Fierce Feather Bow]

[Attributes]: Strength +4, Agility +6, Constitution +3, Perception +4

[Skills]: Fierce Feathered Arrow (Level 2), Fire Bird Power (Level 2)

[Introduction]: This Fire Attribute longbow can fire arrows that deal small-scale lethal damage and can also add fire attribute damage to regular arrows.

What a surprise!

He truly hadn’t expected to actually wish for higher-level equipment!

At that moment, the text in front of him suddenly flickered and then changed.

[Fierce Feather Bow (Bronze)]

The system seemed to have updated in that instant, assigning ratings to different equipment and establishing a level system.

He immediately glanced at the Wild Boar Dagger and Bloodthirsty Pupil; both were of Black Iron Level.

After thoroughly testing the new equipment he had acquired, Char started to get busy with other things.

First, he chose the right wood to make flower pots, which he would later use to grow flowers.

To decorate the cart and give it more of a homely feeling, his first thought was to plant various flowers and grasses.

With Betty around, he wasn’t worried about not being able to keep them alive.

To grow flowers, he needed pots and, in the forest, his only available material was wood.

Other materials, like clay, could be used to make pottery, but he didn’t know how to do that.

Besides flowers and grass, there were also previously hunted animals like deer heads, which could be made into trophies to decorate the interior.

Of course, the best method was to find a settlement of an intelligent species and trade with them.

It didn’t matter whether this intelligent species was human, elf, dwarf, or half-orc.

Previously, he had been somewhat resistant to this, only daring to interact with other intelligent species when protected by Lantern Firefly, as he always felt uneasy without a strong sense of security.

Though he knew engaging with native forces bore a very low risk of life-threatening danger.

If he, a Level 2 archer with a magic pet of Challenge Level 2, could face a life-threatening danger just from buying some items, then ordinary people in this world might as well not exist!

After all, most people in this world didn’t possess his capabilities, and if his risk resistance was this weak, it was even worse for others.
