CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: [BERSERK BLOOD WARRIOR] CLASS

Ethan let out a sigh, glanced at the iron pot a few times, and said slowly, "I can’t go back empty-handed, I’ll just take something—better than nothing."

Grimmount’s eyes narrowed a little, and he said casually, "Go ahead and take something, but not this iron pot, I still need it. Anything else is fine."

Ethan suddenly looked up at Grimmount, wearing a look like he’d been found out.

Grimmount smiled with pride, picked up the iron pot, and said, "Don’t think you can fool me. This iron pot is what you’re looking for, right? I haven’t even checked it carefully."

Grimmount had already taken off the iron pot and the chain hanging it, leaving only a long, rusty iron bar, which Ethan grabbed without hesitation.

When he stretched just now, he had already confirmed that this iron bar was the long knife he was looking for!

Grimmount’s eyes went wide at Ethan’s move.

He’d been played!

Ethan put the iron bar straight into his storage, then smiled at the angry and helpless Grimmount.

Grimmount steadied himself, looked at Ethan thoughtfully, and said slowly, "Did you get scammed, and then, not wanting to lose face in front of me, just grab a piece of trash?"

"This way you keep your pride, and you also make me think I missed something good."

"Smart, but lucky for me, I’m smarter, and I saw through it."

After he finished, Grimmount watched Ethan’s face and saw him frowning at his watch.

Right away, Grimmount felt his guess was right, Ethan was doing exactly what he said.

Just as Grimmount thought he had it all figured out, Ethan took out the long, rusty iron bar and smeared the leftover mixed monster blood on it.

Thin orange light slowly came off the bar, and it began to shake, while the rust that had built up over who knows how long fell off bit by bit.

Seeing all this, Grimmount froze on the spot, his face blank.

Orange light!

Could it be an Orange-quality weapon?

Even he only had a few Purple-quality weapons on him right now!

Instinctively, Grimmount licked the corner of his mouth, let his eyes move to Ethan, then quickly looked away.

Ethan suddenly said, "Relax, it’s not an Orange-quality weapon. It’s a long knife that used to be Orange-quality."

As soon as he finished, the faint orange glow slowly faded, and a strong blue glow rose from the iron bar in Ethan’s hand.

By now, it was clear this was a long knife.

Grimmount let out a breath. It was just a Blue-quality weapon, at worst it made him feel the pinch a little.

There was nothing he could do about it, he hadn’t noticed anything.

Ethan put the long knife back into [Inventory] again. This time, its info finally showed up.

[Damaged Blood-Drinking Long Knife]

[Quality]: Blue-quality (upgrade method unknown)

[Equip Requirement]: Defense greater than six points

[Equip Effect]: Bloodthirst. Draws the user’s blood to enter Bloodthirst state: lose 1% HP per second, -3 Defense, +3 Strength, +3 Speed, when the user’s HP drops to 10%, -6 Defense, +6 Strength, +6 Speed.

[Description]: This used to be a growth-type Orange-quality weapon, but sadly after a great battle it lost its original quality and no longer grows. Even so, it is still the best long knife in Safe Zone 9527.

Ethan looked at the info on the [Damaged Blood-Drinking Long Knife] and was a bit surprised.

This long knife has only one equip effect, but it is very strong and also very risky.

Trading 3 Defense for 3 Strength and 3 Speed is a good deal, but only if there wasn’t the 1% HP loss per second.

And when your HP is at ten percent, if you keep using this [Bloodthirst] effect, it can last at most ten seconds.

Ten seconds of being a real man!

In these ten seconds, you get +6 Strength and +6 Speed, for a total of twelve attribute points.

But the price is the constant loss of HP and a weak defense, and if Ethan is really at ten percent HP and uses this long knife’s [Bloodthirst], the enemy would only need one slash to kill him.

However, what matches Ethan’s expectations is that this long knife can raise its quality, which means it can be repaired.

But right now he doesn’t know how to repair it, maybe later he can get Intel from others on how to fix it, or kill monsters and get related Intel as drops.

As for Grimmount, when he saw the long knife clearly, his pupils widened a little, clearly thinking of something.

He lowered his voice and said to Ethan, "I really don’t know if you’re lucky or unlucky. This long knife ended up in my junkyard, no wonder I was so unlucky to run into you."

Ethan looked at Grimmount, clearly, Grimmount knew about this long knife.

Grimmount said this long knife was famous, not only because it used to be an Orange-quality weapon and had growth, but also because none of its owners ever met a good end.

Therefore, this long knife is also called the "Demon Blade."

Ethan didn’t care much about that, he wanted more to know if there was a way to repair it.

Grimmount shook his head with a smile and said, "Repair it? No hope. Even if someone knows, you won’t be able to get the Intel. Good thing it’s this long knife, otherwise I’d be heartbroken."

Ethan quietly put the [Damaged Blood-Drinking Long Knife] into his [Inventory]. Even if he can’t repair it for now, he can still treat it as his trump card.

If he runs into a crisis where he has to gamble, this long knife can come into play.

Next, it was time to ask Grimmount about some hidden class matters, but if he asked directly, Grimmount would surely say nothing.

So Ethan took out the item shop lady’s deep blue hair and put it in front of Grimmount.

Grimmount’s eye twitched, but he quickly went back to normal, looked at the hair, and said, "Elise’s hair? What are you doing with this?"

Ethan smiled and said straight out that he wanted info about hidden classes.

Grimmount still tried to act like he knew nothing, until Ethan shared the intel he had and said:

"Good timing—later we can ask the equipment shop owner if they know how to fix that long knife."

"The equipment shop owner is a pretty good man, and I’m afraid I won’t have the heart to see him kept in the dark and knowing nothing, and if I slip up and say something by accident, that will cause trouble for you."

Grimmount took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

He felt a bit of regret now, wondering why he didn’t just say nothing in the sewers and kill Ethan on the spot.

If he had, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.

The equipment shop owner is far weaker than him, he just doesn’t want the Safe Zone’s admin to learn about this, since that guy has always wanted to drive him out of the Safe Zone.

Killing someone inside the Safe Zone already caused a bad impact, if Ethan says anything more, the admin will seize the chance and team up with others in Safe Zone 9527 to expel him.

Grimmount still has something very important undone, and he must make sure it can keep going smoothly.

So Grimmount had no choice but to give in.

He looked at Ethan with a resentful look and said slowly, "You really stop at nothing, how can there be someone like you!"

"I’ve only seen this level of shamelessness before on one guy I really hated."

"Sigh, tell me your talent, I know some Intel on hidden classes, and I’ll pick the one that fits you best, and after that never show up in front of me again, I’m begging you."

Ethan defended himself and said, "It’s not that bad, not that shameless, if you hadn’t done anything wrong, I wouldn’t have any way to do this."

Ethan knows what is right, what is wrong, and what is kind, he just tends to do what benefits him.

He has no morals, so others can’t guilt-trip him.

Then Ethan revealed his blue-quality talent, [Pain Resistance].

Grimmount looked at Ethan in surprise, he had thought Ethan’s talent was strong, but it was only a blue-quality talent.

Ethan asked, curious, does the quality of a talent make a big difference to power?

Grimmount nodded and didn’t say much more, and he told Ethan that over at the No. 9527 admin, there is a class change called "Berserk Blood Warrior," which fits Ethan’s talent very well.

But the admin hates players, is cold, and never talks to players.

Grimmount glanced at that deep blue strand of hair and said to Ethan, "But the admin has a good relationship with Elise, you can try asking Elise for help."

"Sigh, I really didn’t expect Elise to be that curious, if not for her, you’d have no evidence at all!"

The item shop owner, Elise?

Ethan had never seen the admin, and the player forums also had no posts about the admin.

It seems the only way is to start with Elise.

Thinking of that necklace with a special function, and how Elise reacted when he pressed the gem button, Ethan felt he really could give it a try!
