43 -43: The Butcher’s Bone-Breaking Knife_1

Mu You took out his phone and opened up the game ‘Fool’.

When he first got this knife, a prompt immediately popped up in the game.

[You’ve obtained the ‘Butcher’s Bone-Breaking Knife’.]

[Butcher’s Bone-Breaking Knife: A knife that can cut through bones like mud, inflicting high damage to flesh.

Active effects.

Demagic: The Bone-Breaking Knife can penetrate magic shields and defensive spells.

Cripple: Reduces the movement and attack speed of creatures hit by the knife by 85% for five seconds.

Bleed: Wounds inflicted by the Bone-Breaking Knife constantly bleed and cannot be healed quickly.

Heaviness: The knife is hard to wield due to its weight.

After each swing, it requires a long time to recover (This effect is nullified when wearing the ‘Butcher Wolf’ skin).]

Mu You was pretty satisfied with the knife’s properties, especially the ‘Demagic’ effect.

Now he understood why the little girl’s magic shield was ineffective.

The knife could penetrate the shield directly.

Magic shields were the primary defense of wizards.

A knife that could directly penetrate shields was absolutely a bane for mages!

“Meow?

It’s a rare level weapon, where did you get it from?” Cola suddenly asked, looking at the knife in his hand.

“Rare?

How can you tell?” Mu You was surprised.

The game had never displayed the grade of items; it only showed their names and descriptions.

He thought there were no quality levels in the Star Spirit World.

“Look at the color,” Cola said.

“Color?” Mu You carefully examined the Bone-Breaking Knife again, and only then did he notice a faint blue glow emanating from the blade.

However, it was barely visible.

“Blue light represents a rare level?”

Mu You suddenly remembered his Pumpkin Lantern.

When it was turned on, it also emitted a faint blue light.

So did that mean the Pumpkin Lantern was a rare treasure too?

Also, his Mithril Bow was surrounded by a silver-white glow.

Could it be the legendary silver level?

And what’s above that, gold?

Diamond?

Starlight?

“What grade is this?” Mu You hurriedly took out the Mithril Bow and asked Cola.

“This is white, that’s common level,” Cola replied.

“Common?

Isn’t that the worst grade?” Mu You was a bit stunned; he thought it was precious silver, but it turned out to be a common white. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

“Not the worst, the worst is the black iron level which is black,” Cola said.

“What other colors are there?” Mu You decided to get a straight answer.

“Above black iron is white common, then green fine, blue rare, purple epic, and gold legendary,” said Cola.

Cola meowed, “The highest is legendary, and there are only a few in the entire Star Spirit World.

Actually, even epic ones are rare.

Rare level equipment is the most high-grade treasure ordinary people can get.

Especially weapons, they are always harder to come by compared to other equipment of the same grade!”

“That valuable?”

Mu You was surprised, the knife was even more valuable than he imagined!

Similar to his Pumpkin Lantern, this knife also needed to be used in combination with a skin.

It could show its full potential when wearing the ‘Butcher Wolf’ skin.

Mu You clicked on the ‘Butcher Wolf’ text.

[Butcher Wolf: One of the advanced skins of the werewolf, the Butcher Wolf has a special understanding of flesh and life.

As long as the heart is not extinguished, the flesh will not perish.

The more severe the injury, the stronger the recovery ability!]

Once Mu You had finished speaking, he was stunned.

“This isn’t a Butcher Wolf, it’s a Wolverine!” he thought.

No wonder the little girl’s free-spirited bombing didn’t kill him.

The attack didn’t hit the right spot – the wolf’s weakness is at the heart!

Unless you attack the heart first, it wouldn’t matter if you ground him to dust; it would all be in vain!

This werewolf sure was unbelievably strong!

With an almost undying ability, coupled with its unpredictable chain claws and the deadly bone-breaking knife…

Luckily, Mu You had managed to get his hands on the knife, effectively declawing the werewolf.

The gap between him and the werewolf was closing rapidly!

However, it was not enough!

After witnessing the battle strategy of the werewolf and the little girl, Mu You’s desire to grow stronger intensified.

On his way back, Mu You had made up his mind: he would find the witch in the game to learn black magic!

The witch was the most powerful NPC he had met so far in the game, and it was his only quick option for leveling up.

Otherwise, he would have to stick to the conventional leveling up strategy, completing tasks which takes too long.

By the time he grows stronger, the werewolf might find him first.

As for the potential dangers of learning black magic…

he would wait until he met the witch to decide.

Mu You tidied up his room and flopped on the bed, booting up “Fool”.

Once he logged in to the game, he was still in his little log cabin.

Donning the invisibility cloak and controlling his character as usual, he patrolled the entire village, looking for traces of the wolf and the little girl.

Although he hadn’t yet communicated with the little girl, after surviving a life-threatening battle together, he felt they had some sort of warrior camaraderie.

If he found her, perhaps she could provide some information about the ‘wolf’ and the ‘organization’.

The good thing about having a complete map was that he could stroll around without using any energy.

Unfortunately, despite a thorough search, he couldn’t find a single trace of the wolf or the little girl.

It appeared that after surviving a life-or-death battle together, both of them were not in the mood to play the game.

“Never mind, let’s head to Black Forest!”

Mu You guided his character out of the village gate.

[You want to head to the Black Forest over a hundred miles away.

However, the journey is long.

If you have no means of transport, it would take a lot of time and energy.

Maybe you can talk to the Beastkeeper in the village and rent a mount.]

Mu You agreed, realizing he couldn’t walk over a hundred miles without exhausting himself.

He decisively decided to find the Beastkeeper!

[You turned back to the village and found the Beastkeeper’s house, enquiring about renting a mount.]

[The Beastkeeper tells you that he currently provides four types of mounts for rent: Griffin, Chocobo, Water Rhino, and Little Donkey.]

[The first-tier mount is the Griffin.

Griffins are the most common flying mounts in the empire; they have a lion’s body with sharp claws and the head and wings of an eagle.

They are the quickest and safest, with considerable combat power.

Rental price: 10 years of lifespan per hour.

Deposit: 700 years of lifespan.]

[The second-tier mount is the Chocobo, a bird naturally born to run.

It can cover long distances in a day.

While it lacks fighting ability, it can easily outrun pursuers with its superhuman speed.

Rental price: 6 years of lifespan per hour.

Deposit: 400 years of lifespan.]

[The third-tier mount is the Water Rhino, a heavy-duty amphibious rhinoceros.

Its tank-like hide allows it to ignore attack, while its large size and weight allow it to act like a war chariot, crushing all obstacles and creatures in its path.

Its movement speed is slow, but it provides high safety.

Rental price: 4 years per hour, Deposit: 200 years of lifespan.]

[The last-tier mount is Little Donkey, a common domesticated animal with high traction.

It is fit for short-term riding but not built for speed.

It has no combat abilities or means of self-defense.

It is the slowest and least safe option.

Rental price: 1 year per day, Deposit: 10 years of lifespan.]
