Chapter 13 – Chen Yuan, who can't understand the game
After some thought, Chen Yuan went to check the official website.
A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.
A few minutes later.
"Pfft, poor players!!"
Chen Yuan gloated.
He was so happy, it was indescribable!
It turned out he had been overlooking one issue.
Although he was a player too, essentially, his character was a monster character.
So he was using a monster template.
Monsters can't wear equipment, so their attributes are naturally much stronger than players.
Players gain 1 point in all attributes per level, and only after reaching level 10 do they redistribute attributes based on their class.
But Chen Yuan's Parasitic Dragon gains 5 points in all attributes per level, not counting attribute bonuses.
The most explosive part is.
Chen Yuan's character gains 2 points of attack for every 1 point of Strength.
While a player's character gains only 1 point of attack for every 1 point of Strength.
Chen Yuan's character gains 20 Health Points and 1 Defense point for every 1 point of Constitution.
While a player's character gains only 10 Health Points and 0.5 Defense for every 1 point of Constitution.
It's clear that players' attribute bonuses are only half of Chen Yuan's.
This was something Chen Yuan had never considered.
He saw that he had 20 points of attack at level 1, so he thought a level 5 weapon with only 15 points of attack was trash.
But the truth was, when players reach level 5, if they don't wear any equipment at all.
They only have 50 Health Points, 25 Mana Points, 5 Physical Attack, 5 Magic Attack, and 2 Defense.
Since 0.5 Defense doesn't display, the game system simply rounds it down.
Poor players.
Looking at it this way, a weapon with only 5 points of attack selling for two or three hundred seems reasonable.
After all, there are many players in this game, and the drop rate for equipment is too low.
"So, my three pieces of Silver Equipment should sell for at least 1500 each, and with the set attributes, averaging 2000 each isn't impossible!"
This was the price Chen Yuan estimated based on the Exchange's transaction records.
A level 5 weapon with 5 points of attack sells for 300, so his weapon with 15 points of attack should sell for around 900.
But the fact is, at the same level, the higher the attributes of the equipment, the harder it is to obtain, and the rarer it is.
Just like now, the Exchange is only selling Common Equipment, not a single piece of Bronze Equipment.
So it's perfectly normal for the price to double according to the normal incremental pricing.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan prepared to put the equipment in the Auction House, starting at 1500, with a buyout price of 4500.
Even though the Auction House charges a 10% fee, putting the set up at the same time can fetch a better price.
But when he was about to put the weapon up, he was stunned.
"Why does this weapon show as wearable? I'm only level 1!"
A level 5 weapon, yet it shows as wearable at level 1.
Chen Yuan was really baffled, it was supposed to be a simple game.
In his hands, it turned into something he didn't understand at all!
He thought and thought, but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Forget it, I'll just equip the weapon."
Equipping the Wolffang Longsword, Chen Yuan's attack power increased from 20 to 35.
For someone at level 1, this was a significant boost.
"Hey, it's all thanks to this 'Hand of Faith', otherwise I'd be just like any other wild monster, a useless one."
Hand of Faith?
Speaking of Hand of Faith, Chen Yuan remembered he seemed to have completed some kind of faith achievement back then.
He opened the achievement panel.
"Wow, turns out it's all thanks to you!"
[Achievement] Devout Believer: Your resilience allows you to withstand greater power than your own, reducing equipment requirements by 10.
Chen Yuan hadn't expected the reward for this achievement to be so incredible.
He hadn't figured out the game, but the game had figured him out perfectly.
