Chapter 2173: A Nostalgic MMO ⑦
The event dungeon I challenged together with Aoi-chan was, as she said, extremely easy at first, allowing us to progress through the floors smoothly.
However, as expected, things started getting rough around the 20th floor. Aoi-chan mentioned that reaching the 30th floor was doable for a well-equipped Tier-4 Class, so for a Tier-3 Class like mine with just decent gear, even getting to the 30th floor was quite a struggle.
That said, Aoi-chan was a Tier-4 Class with a high level and solid equipment, and from the 20th floor onward, it felt like she was just mowing down everything.
Even though my character was Tier-3, its high durability allowed me to group up enemies while Aoi-chan wiped them out with high-powered AOE magic. The strategy worked really well.
However, after passing the 30th floor, enemies that could withstand Aoi-chan's magic began to appear, and even I started having trouble enduring their attacks.
[……It seems like going any further would be difficult. Shall we head back after clearing this 35th floor?]
[Yeah, at this point, it’s just taking more and more time. My character also leveled up by about 25 levels, and the EXP gain was really nice. The limited box…… is this the last one?]
[Yes, it seems we receive them based on the highest cleared floor when we exit the dungeon.]
As she answered my question, Aoi-chan spoke to the NPC inside the pair dungeon and selected the option to end the dungeon run at this floor.
Thereupon, instead of a door leading to the next floor, a different door appeared, and stepping through it brought us to a small results-confirmation room. Talking to the NPC there rewarded us with items based on the cleared floor, granting us 50 limited boxes each along with some premium items.[Fifty per person huh? That’s quite a lot.]
[Even completing all the event daily quests only gives about 20, so this dungeon is clearly the most efficient.]
[Since we have them, should we go ahead and open the limited boxes?]
[That sounds good. I was thinking of selling them to upgrade Kaito-san’s equipment, but since we already got a good amount of money from storage items, it seems better to open them and experience the event.]
Selling them would fetch a decent sum, but not enough to upgrade both my and Aoi-chan’s equipment, so we decided to just open them normally.@@novelbin@@
Selecting the limited box from my inventory and using it……
<C○○-san has obtained the Heavenly God’s Accessory from the Limited Box>
……Unn? Just now, a World Announcement, which broadcasts rare item drops to the entire online game, suddenly appeared. The character name was censored except for the first letter, and on my game screen, I saw the message "Heavenly God’s Accessory obtained"…… Eh?
[K- Kaito-san!? T- That’s one of the accessories I was just talking about!!!]
[Eh? For real? W- Well, I thought that might be the case when the World Announcement popped up but…… Ehhhh!?]
[……Kaito-san’s luck also carries over into online games huh.]
[A- Ahh, I see, could this be thanks to Shiro-san’s Blessing?]
I had just pulled an insanely rare item in a single try, which made me realize, this might be due to Shiro-san’s Blessing.
(No, strictly speaking, that game world is considered a separate realm, so I have adjusted it so that my Blessing does not affect it.)
Eh? Ah, I see.
[……I just got a message from Shiro-san. Apparently, her Blessing’s luck boost doesn’t apply to this online game.]
[So, you got it with your own luck? That’s incredible. That accessory comes in several types, and they’re all ridiculously strong…… What kind of effect does the Heavenly God one have?] ŕAΝó𝖇Еʂ
[Errr…… whoa, this is insane…… +20 to all stats, HP doubled, 30% reduction in both physical and magical damage, and a 5% chance to nullify damage on hit…… For a single accessory slot, that’s…… Yeah, no wonder the top-tier players are desperate to get this.]
For an incredibly rare item obtainable at an absurdly low probability, its performance was truly astonishing. Each one of its four effects was powerful on its own, and for tank roles in particular, it was the kind of gear you'd do anything to get your hands on.
[This is amazing. If we were to sell this, I think we'd probably get enough money to buy frontline-tier equipment.]
[Yeah, there's nothing written here that doesn't scream OP. Well, the effects also synergize well with my Class, so I might be better off just using it myself.]
[Agreed. Equipping it should make you significantly stronger…… Actually, with that kind of gear, it might even be worth adjusting your stats and skills toward a tank build.]
[That’s true, that could work too. Well, I’ll think about that later. For now, let's deal with the rest……]
When I advanced to a Tier-3 Class, I was given a one-time opportunity to reset and reallocate my stats and skills. So, as Aoi-chan suggested, shifting to a tank build was a real possibility. Judging from our dungeon runs, Aoi-chan's firepower was overwhelmingly high, so it would probably be best if I focused on tanking while she handled the offense.
For now, I was just happy to have obtained such an incredible item through sheer luck. It wasn't exactly a rare drop, but getting high-rarity gear like this was always exciting.
As I reminisced about the fun I used to have playing, I opened another Limited Box.
<C○○-san has obtained the Demon God’s Accessory from the Limited Box>
And then, another World Announcement popped up…… Huh?
<Afterword>
