79: Chapter 79 This knife is mine now.

Pegasus, members of the Five Great Guilds, and ordinary players remained glued to the livestream after Fu Hao and his party entered the legendary dungeon.

"Big Brother, do you really not regret this?"

"No regrets."

Pegasus's desire for the legendary dungeon was no less than that of the other guild leaders, but compared to the unknown risks within the dungeon, he valued Mecca's equipment more. With the success rate of clearing the dungeon unknown, obtaining equipment of known value was clearly the safer bet.

Fu Hao had originally thought that Pegasus, as a "pay-to-win maniac," would be keen on adventure, but he hadn't expected that ever since Pegasus used "Strongest Luck" to crazily upgrade items, he had actually started to avoid any behavior involving "gambling on luck."

"However, if I didn't have this thing, I definitely wouldn't have given up on the legendary dungeon." Pegasus gazed at the "Item Perception" in his skill bar, his eyes soft.

This hidden skill, which he had never revealed to anyone, allowed him to see the true attributes of equipment within his field of vision. The higher his level and the stronger his insight, the higher the level cap of the equipment he could analyze.

"Strongest 1 Second" had been forced into the public eye due to its effects and penalty mechanism, but he intended to keep "Item Perception" a secret forever.

Looking again at the eight pieces of equipment he had obtained from Fu Hao, Pegasus was filled with emotion: "I never dreamed that I could get my hands on eight top-tier pieces of equipment so easily."

A week ago, when he used "Item Perception" to scan the equipment of the leaders of the Five Great Guilds, he found that the "Moon Earrings" worn by Mecca made it impossible for him to look away:

<Moon Earrings>

Grade: Mythic

Usage Requirement: Level 300

* Critical Hit Rate +20% under moonlight

* When worn simultaneously with "Sun Earrings," all elemental attacks are converted to non-elemental

Although the first special effect had strict restrictions, for Pegasus, who specialized in elemental magic, the second effect, "Non-Elemental Conversion," was a rigid necessity.

Because he already possessed the "Sun Earrings." However, if he wanted to buy them from Mecca, he would have to expose the existence of "Item Perception," which might arouse the suspicion of other guild leaders and even cause them to hide their trump cards.

As for seizing them through PK, he had no certainty of victory, nor could he guarantee a drop; the risks far outweighed the rewards.

Just when Pegasus was at his wit's end, Fu Hao's "generosity" changed everything.

He precisely picked out the "Moon Earrings" from the 11 pieces of equipment and deliberately left behind the legendary-grade "Puppeteer Gloves."

It was both a gesture of gratitude toward Fu Hao and a way to cover up the existence of "Item Perception" (if he monopolized all 8 top-tier pieces of equipment, it would inevitably arouse Mecca's suspicion). As for the remaining 7 pieces, he planned to sell them back to Mecca at a reasonable price, which would maintain a superficial peace while also netting him a small profit.

"Come on, let me see how strong you really are." Pegasus, having closed his equipment tab, focused on watching the livestream. At this moment, Fu Hao and his party were in a fierce battle with the King Slime.

"The coordination is truly perfect; this is what a real 'treasure-hunting team' looks like."

Fu Hao was even more at ease in team battles than when soloing: drawing all aggro, calmly taking damage, and allowing the DPS players to simply focus on dealing damage without thinking. He was practically the "perfect tank" for the damage dealers.

But the more terrifying value of Fu Hao in the team was the massive profit brought by the "Drop Rate 777%." When he saw the "Experience Potion," Pegasus was shocked once again.

"Big Brother, have they all turned into vampires?"

Witnessing the mutation of Alan and the others, Pegasus actually breathed a sigh of relief. Just 20 bottles of experience potion could make a fortune; if they farmed hundreds more, the gap in combat power between him and Fu Hao's party would widen even further.

Anyway, Fu Hao wasn't short on money, but if Alan, Yukina, and Zeus also possessed financial power matching his, catching up would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Fortunately, the current drop volume was still within a controllable range, especially when he saw Fu Hao picking up his teammates' equipment, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Hahaha, this kid... always manages to create surprises."

"Oh no." The moment he saw the "crimson flame katana," Fu Hao's heart tightened.

[ "Trial Maniac" donated 50 yuan. (No way, how could this sword be here) ]

[ "Jin Hao" donated 50 yuan. (How much equipment dropped) ]

[ "Class" donated 50 yuan. (Successfully stripped the four guild leaders) ]

- "What's going on?"

- "Does this count as a PK drop?"

- "Requesting public equipment info."

"Impossible... maybe it's just equipment with the same name. Vampires have intelligence; maybe they upgraded it themselves..." Fu Hao tremblingly opened the equipment details:

<crimson flame katana (+5)>

Grade: Legendary

Usage Requirement: Level 280, Sword Mastery Lv.20

Attack Power: 2,450 ~ 4,210 Durability: 94/120 Weight: 160

* Attack Speed +100%

* Critical Hit Rate +100%

Description: A legendary blade forged by an unknown master. Even if there is the strongest sword in the world, there is no sword as beautiful as the first in the world.

"It's over! It really is hers." The simple yet cheat-like attributes, combined with the description of "the most beautiful sword in the world," confirmed without a doubt that it was Yukina's sword.

[ "Jin Hao" donated 50 yuan. (Goodbye, troll sword) ]

[ "Snow" donated 50 yuan. (In memory of troll sword +10) ]

[ "Yukina's Fan" donated 50 yuan. (Believe that Fu Hao will return it!) ]

- "Return? Return what?"

- "Anyone else would have pocketed it, but maybe not Fu Hao."

- "If he returns it, it's a 'National Favorability Certification'."

- "If he doesn't return it, I'm unfollowing!"

Amidst the debate of "to return or not to return," Fu Hao fell into deep thought.

"Isn't it untradeable? Why did it go directly into my inventory? How am I supposed to return it now... Could it be that equipment dropped after monster-fication no longer belongs to the player's binding? If I turn into a monster, can I also drop equipment?"

Even if it were feasible, he faced three major problems: Where to find vampires? How to precisely drop the designated equipment? Without a drop rate bonus, he would need to die 20-30 times.

"Sigh, I guess I'll have to be the villain this time." Fu Hao had originally wanted to return it, but helplessly decided to "steal from the thief."

"Since I'm stealing from the thief, I have to have some fun." He silently unequipped the "troll sword" and equipped the "crimson flame katana."

- "???" × 999

Amidst the screen full of question marks from the viewers, Fu Hao imitated a classic scene and announced with an exaggerated tone:

"This sword is mine now!"
