Chapter 2082 Too modest? A lightning-fast slap in the face!
This wasn't just him overthinking things; it was genuinely a bit strange.
Strictly speaking, he had only known Fang Yun for a short time, less than two months.
Although their cooperation over the past month or so has been fairly smooth, ultimately, they are still boss and employee.
But now.
Fang Yun, the boss, showed him something so 'frightening' during their first meeting.
This made the mantis shrimp suddenly have some doubts—
Will I be able to walk out of this club smoothly today, buddy?
In his opinion.
Fang Yun's actions were practically tantamount to 'revealing everything'.
But the problem is.
What could a nobody like him possibly have that would warrant Fang Yun, a big shot, revealing his secrets on their very first meeting?
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.
but.
If you ask him if he wants to continue watching.
Then he will surely utter that classic seven-word mantra—
Please increase your efforts!
There's no turning back once the arrow is released.
He has now finished looking at two of Qiancheng's remaining stock.
Even if he realized something was wrong and wanted to run away at that point, it was already too late.
That being the case.
He might as well go all the way down this path and have his fun first!
As for whether I live or die after I've had my fill...
Whatever, I don't care anymore.
Looking at the mantis shrimp whose expression kept changing unpredictably.
Fang Yun didn't say anything, but he was secretly delighted.
He knew that the other person's mind was probably a bit confused at the moment.
But think about it.
No matter how familiar the two were before, this was their first time meeting in person.
Logically speaking, the first time two people meet in person, they should at most have a meal and chat, maybe even have a drink together, and that should be about it.
But Fang Yun completely defied expectations, pulling out a bunch of trump cards right off the bat.
Such 'unique' behavior is beyond the comprehension of even mantis shrimp.
Even if it were Fang Yun himself, he would probably be suspicious for a long time.
Why did he do that?
It's very simple; he wants to use the most straightforward and direct method to make the other person unwilling to leave!
For a player who is both a dreamlike living fossil and an arms dealer like Mantis Shrimp.
From the moment I stepped into the Cloud Club until now.
Everything Fang Yun showed him was exactly what he had always dreamed of!
An excellent working environment, a salary so high it made him question his existence, and colleagues whose fame was frighteningly great.
The key is.
He also has access to the most core and top-secret equipment in the entire Fantasy Westward Journey game, the equipment of Qiancheng!
Any one of these items could be a game-changer.
And when they are combined together.
without any exaggeration.
Let alone if you play Fantasy Westward Journey, even if you don't.
With this kind of treatment, you'd probably have more fun than anyone else!
And just as Fang Yun had predicted.
At this point, the mantis shrimp had clearly sensed that something was wrong.
But he couldn't bear to take his eyes off Qiancheng's equipment for even a second.
It is human nature to pry into secrets.
Especially top-secret information like the Thousand Cities Equipment, which has not yet been officially revealed in the Fantasy Westward Journey world.
The moment the mantis shrimp saw it with his own eyes, he knew he couldn't leave.
"How about it, do you want to continue?"
Look at the mantis shrimp, whose face was conflicted for a moment, but who finally made up his mind.
Fang Yun asked at the opportune moment.
"Look! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I miss it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well for the rest of my life!"
Faced with Fang Yun's question, the mantis shrimp, having already made up its mind, nodded vigorously and said without hesitation.
"Okay~"
Seeing that he was all in it.
Fang Yun smiled and didn't say anything more. He moved the mouse to the third piece of equipment.

"Thick...gift...crab!!!"
Thinking it had learned from past mistakes, Pipi Shrimp felt it was fully prepared this time.
But when the complete attributes of Qiancheng's armor came into view...
He couldn't help himself and blurted out, "A generous gift of crabs!"
He didn't understand.
This thing is so hard to get.
But how come Fang Yun got three pieces of equipment that were all exclusive, as if he were just playing around?!
The problem is that you only use dedicated components.
There are also differences between so-called specialized ones.
Many dedicated properties of junk are even worse than non-dedicated ones.
Top-tier items, on the other hand, are often designed to maximize their attributes, and the difference between the two is enormous.
And what about these three special items that Qiancheng showcased?
Top-notch, absolutely top-notch, and the very best of the best!
As an arms dealer, Pipi Shrimp is extremely knowledgeable about the initial attributes of equipment at all levels.
He remembered it clearly.
The standard defense of a non-specialized 160 armor is 249, with a maximum of 340.
According to this standard, the limit for dedicated applications is 340 * 1.1, which is 374!
And what about Fang Yun's armor?
The defense of 578 minus the 204 defense points added by 17 Moonstones equals exactly 374.
In other words, this is yet another monster-level armor that's already at its peak value right out of the box!
But that's not the most outrageous thing.
The most outrageous.
Based on the premise that the defense is already at its maximum level from the factory.
This armor even comes with an absurd double bonus of 48 points of Strength and 44 points of Agility!
Pipi Shrimp carefully recalled the maximum dual stats of the level 160 equipment in his mind.
It was ultimately discovered that the non-dedicated limit double addition of 160 points is 86 points, while the dedicated limit double addition is exactly 92 points!
In other words.
This armor not only had maximum defense right out of the box, but its stats were also maxed out...
This is a special level 160 armor piece with full defense and attributes, and it's also the most valuable one with both strength and agility bonuses.
Even without any blue text, it is enough to serve as the graduation armor for any top physics student.
But clearly, they don't think so themselves.
With both defensive attributes maxed out.
This armor also comes with three special effects: Weakness Strike, Exquisite Disguise and Indestructible, and a dizzying 1.19% Physical Critical Hit Chance!
Oh right, there's also the "Rain of Flowers" outfit...
It's impossible to evaluate; it's simply impossible to evaluate.
In Pipi Shrimp's eyes, this armor is more than just a graduation outfit.
without any exaggeration.
Even if new levels and new equipment are released in the future.
Without incredible luck and abundant resources...
Even Fang Yun would probably find it difficult to create a new suit of armor that could surpass this one!
At that moment, he suddenly really wanted to know.
Qiancheng possesses such a divine armor and the divine chain in front.
If they appear on the Martial God Altar, they will face an overwhelming attack from the enemy.
How long can he hold out?
Pipi Shrimp was really looking forward to it, but judging from Qiancheng's movements in the past two years, it might not be so easy to see him reappear on the Martial God Altar.
"How about that? It took me almost half a year to get this armor. I don't know how many resources I poured into it. It was so difficult!"
The mantis shrimp, stunned by the armor, could only utter a few words after initially exclaiming "A generous gift, crab!"
Fang Yun smiled and asked.
"...All I can say is, Brother Cheng, all your previous investments were worthwhile!"
Upon hearing this, Pipi Shrimp tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart and said in a deep voice, "This armor, or rather, including the helmet and necklace, is, in my personal opinion, an absolute masterpiece in the Dream World!"
"I don't know exactly how much resource you're referring to when you say 'a lot of resources' has been added, but from a player's perspective, with these three pieces of equipment, the position of the number one Tang Dynasty player in Thousand Cities Fantasy is unshakeable, past, present, and future!"
"It seems you have a high opinion of this armor."
Seeing that this guy was getting more and more excited as he talked, and even started to imagine that Qiancheng would continue to dominate the Martial God Altar.
Fang Yun waved his hand and said, "But whether I'm first or not is no longer important to me now. I just want to surpass myself, and even the slightest improvement is crucial!"
"There must be an improvement!"
Upon hearing this, the mantis shrimp was taken aback for a moment, then spoke without hesitation!
In his opinion.
No matter how powerful Qiancheng's equipment was before.
But in the face of these three god-tier level 160 exclusive equipment pieces, you have to be wary of anything, whether it's a dragon or a tiger!
Therefore, Fang Yun's claim of a tiny improvement was, in his opinion, an overstatement of modesty.
"Uh...you should see for yourself."
Seeing the mantis shrimp's confident expression.
Fang Yun didn't know how to talk to him for a moment, so he simply opened Qian Cheng's equipment menu and hovered the mouse over the armor he was wearing, indicating that he should see it himself.
And soon.
As Qiancheng's 'pre-graduation outfit' came into view.
Just a second ago, Pipi Shrimp was adamant that Fang Yun was being overly modest, but now he was completely dumbfounded.

"This...this...this!!!"
He stared blankly at the 150 armor, which was almost identical to the 160 armor in front of him from top to bottom.
At this moment, the mantis shrimp was in a state of extreme confusion.
Who is he?
Where is he?
What exactly did he see?!
A level 150 armor piece, yet its defense is only 10 points lower than a level 160 dedicated armor piece with full defense?
There's also the double addition below.
44力41敏也仅比那件160的分别低了4力3敏，四舍五入几乎没什么差别。
As for the blue text at the bottom...
Beast Power special effect + Disguise, Indestructible, and Level-less three special effects.
To the mantis shrimp, this wasn't just outrageous, it was dreamlike, absolutely dreamlike!
be honest.
The moment I saw this level 150 armor with no level requirement and 18 forging.
He finally understood.
Why has Qiancheng been invincible since his debut, and is still called a 'living legend' by many Fantasy Westward Journey players?
That's incredible! His hardware is amazing!
without any exaggeration.
This kind of hardware is present.
Even a newbie like him who has never participated in the Martial God Altar before could probably go up there blindfolded and kill everyone!
And once top-tier equipment encounters a top-tier strategic player like Fang Yun...
The sparks that burst forth were so stunning that it was impossible to imagine!
"I...I can't take it anymore, Brother Cheng. Can I have a break?"
Finally realizing that what Fang Yun had just said was true, Pipi Shrimp didn't feel embarrassed at this moment. Instead, he was breathing rapidly and felt like he couldn't catch his breath.
Some people might think his reaction was a bit exaggerated.
But don't forget.
He was a die-hard fan of Qiancheng and also a professional arms dealer who valued top-quality equipment above all else.
As a result, he not only successfully met his idol in person, but also saw with his own eyes the main equipment that had been shrouded in mystery for years.
How do you describe this feeling...
The four great joys of life are nothing more than this.
More importantly.
At this moment, he not only saw the main equipment that Qiancheng used to dominate the Martial God Altar, but also the brand new 160 equipment that he would use to continue to dominate the Martial God Altar in the future!
This was incredibly exciting for him!
"It's okay, you should rest for a while."
He nodded, noticing that the other person's expression was clearly a bit off.
Fang Yun didn't provoke him further, and pointed to the chair next to him, indicating that he should sit down.
soon.
The mantis shrimp plopped down in a chair and started frantically gulping water into its mouth.
Fang Yun then asked with great interest, "The level 150 armor you just saw was Qiancheng's main equipment when he served in the military. Judging from its attributes, it wasn't much worse than the level 160 armor, was it?"
"...basically speaking, there is no difference."
Upon hearing this, the mantis shrimp put down its water bottle, remained silent for two seconds, and then nodded.
But then he remembered something and continued, "But since you chose to update, Cheng-ge, it's definitely not just for the sake of simply increasing those resistances and attributes, right?"
"Yes."
Seeing that the other party reacted so quickly despite being so greatly stimulated, Fang Yun nodded in satisfaction. "You saw it yourself. These two suits of armor are not much different in other aspects. One is a weakness and the other is a beast."
"But apart from that, what really differentiates these two pieces of equipment in my opinion is that 1.19% physical critical strike chance!"
"Sure enough."
Upon hearing his words, the mantis shrimp nodded knowingly, then suddenly couldn't help but give a wry smile.
A 1.19% physical critical hit chance, which rounds up to about 1%.
For such a tiny increase in critical hit rate, Fang Yun invested so many resources, time and energy, and spent almost half a year farming for this piece of armor.
Is this... really worth it? (End of Chapter)
