Chapter 134 - 134: Mighty Tiger Boxing Gloves
Upon seeing that the boss was finally killed, Song Jian and his two companions exchanged glances and broke into goofy smiles. They plopped down onto the ground, with Lin Sheng even lying flat on the floor in the shape of a “big” character, his chest heaving as he panted heavily;
“We really did it, we really killed the boss, hahaha-” Gao Da Nian burst into laughter. Initially, he and Lin Sheng hadn’t taken the level 7 Elite -Level Boss too seriously. After all, outside the dungeon, the two of them had killed more than one level 5 Elite-Level Boss just on their own. But they didn’t expect that the monsters inside the dungeon were much stronger than those outside;
A level 7 Elite-Level Boss was even stronger than a level 10 Elite-Level boss outside. Before Song Jian joined the attack, these two had already resisted the boss’s attack desperately. Lin Sheng even considered giving up, ready to enter stealth mode at any moment, dragging out the battle until it ended, then leaving the dungeon;
The three of them didn’t care about the boss’s dropped items at all and just lay on the ground to rest. This battle had drained a lot of their energy. They had been tense throughout the entire fight, and with the extreme consumption, they didn’t even feel like moving a finger once they relaxed;
Only after a while, did the three of them manage to get up. As they looked at the items dropped by the boss, they broke into smirks;
“Wow, it even dropped the thing it eats with;” Lin Sheng smacked his lips;
“This gauntlet is only a green-quality weapon, that shouldn’t be right. I think it should at least be blue, or even sliver-quality, that would make sense!” Gao Da Nian rubbed the back of his head, saying somewhat unhappily;
“Heh, even the blue-grade materials itself dropped three. Yet the weapon turned out to be green-quality. I say, didn’t you damage the gauntlet with your rocket, Song Jian?” Lin Sheng gave a glance at the items dropped by the boss, and looked at Song Jian with a surprising face.
In the midst of the battle, the boss had indeed used its fists to withstand a rocket. Perhaps it got damaged then, causing the quality of boss’s gauntlet to decrease;
Song Jian frowned slightly, staring at the two fist-fighting gloves emitting a green glow;, he was somewhat puzzled;
“That’s not right, this green glow, it’s somewhat too deep, completely different from the glow emitted by ordinary green-quality items. It resembles the glow on the surface of my Zombie Overlord armor…”
Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Song Jian’s mouth. He reached out to grab the two gauntlets and said: “In that case, let me take this equipment. The rest are all yours.”
“Hey, hold on, you must be joking, Brother Song, don’t take it to heart. We three brought down the boss together, so the items should naturally be divided equally.” said Gao Da Nian as he hurriedly gestured this sentiment;
Lin Sheng also had a startled expression, which quickly turned somewhat awkward. He hastily said: “Yes, yes, it should indeed be split equally. We can’t let Brother Song suffer a loss!”
Lin Sheng then quickly picked up three pieces of blue luminous material. After a close look, each of them threw one to each other, and said: “They are all the same, let’s take one each.”
“Prime Linen Cloth (Blue), material, can be used to make cloth armor, defense increased by an additional 30%, success rate of cloth armor increased by 10%; Requirement: Possessing Sewing level 2”
This material, for the three of them, either they will keep it as it is, or they will sell it to the system store;
“Are you sure you don’t want these gauntlets?” Song Jian picked up two tiger-shaped gauntlets, shook them twice, and asked with a smile.
“Brother Song, it’s just a green-quality weapon, just put it away.” Lin Sheng waved his hand indifferently;
As for Lin Sheng and Gao Da Nian, a green-quality weapon wouldn’t warrant their attention at all. Mainly because neither of them could use it, and at this stage, players didn’t have much money, so it wouldn’t sell for much anyway; “Indeed, Brother Song, you did most of the work this time, so rightfully you should get more equipment,” Gao Da Nian said with a sincere smile and a nod. “Haha, this is a set! You guys are truly generous, just casually giving away two items of a set!” Song Jian laughed heartily and displayed the attributes of the gauntlets.
“Fierce Tiger Gauntlet (Left), off-hand weapon, set piece. Equipment effect: Attack 25-35, Strength +2, increase attack speed by 15%, Special effect: Fist Power, when dealing damage to a target, there’s a chance to increase explosive damage by 45 points.

“Fierce Tiger Gauntlet (Right), main-hand weapon, set piece. Equipment effect: Attack 31-40, Strength +3, increase damage to the target by 10%, Special effect: Fist Power, when dealing damage to a target, there is a chance to increase explosive damage by 45 points. For equipment: Power 7 points and Level 5; Can it be taken out of the game: No; Set attributes: Skill ‘Fierce Tiger Strikes’ can be used, Fierce Tiger Pounce, Fierce Tiger Swing Attack, and Fierce Tiger Domination.

“Set…a set? It’s a set weapon, my goodness. I want to change my profession to something like a puncher now.” Lin Sheng shouted with his mouth open wide, almost drooling.
The gauntlets’ attributes were incredibly strong. Even without taking into account the weapon’s own attributes, the three set piece skills already left one dumbfounded. Even a newbie, when equipped with these gauntlets, would immediately be able to rise to the ranks of elite players. Even for Lin Sheng and Gao Da Nian, the number of attack skills they possess probably wouldn’t reach three.
The unbelievable properties of the gauntlets made Lin Sheng and Gao Da Nian tangled up.
Although both of them had yet to learn about their chosen professions, they were already collecting equipment and skills that were suitable for their ideal occupations. Gao Da Nian seemed to have chosen a profession like a weapons warrior, and Lin Sheng chose to be a thief or a stealthy character.
“Da Nian, why don’t we give these gauntlets to you? But it will count as two of your picking turns,” said Song Jian to Gao Da Nian.
When it comes to item selection, the three of them weren’t a fixed team and never followed the ‘need before greed’ principle. They chose to have everyone pick one item each. If Gao Da Nian had picked the gauntlets now, then in future battles, even if equipment suitable for him dropped, he wouldn’t be eligible to pick them. Furthermore, these are two gauntlets, equivalent to two weapons, hence, they would need to use up two of his picking turns.
After some hesitation, Gao Da Nian shook his head. His skills required wielding a long-handled weapon like an axe to activate. Even if the properties of the gauntlets were outstanding, a change in weapon would decrease Gao Da Nian’s effectiveness until he became accustomed to it. Furthermore, he needed to spend time collecting punching skills. More trouble than it’s worth.
“Nevermind, I don’t want them, they’re of no use to me,” Gao Da Nian said, shaking his head.
“Lin Sheng, what about you?” Song Jian turned and asked.
“Brother Song, how about this? Give me the gauntlets, and in exchange, you can have my dagger,” said Lin Sheng. “However, for the picking turns, each of us should expend one.”
“In your dreams!” Song Jian rolled his eyes. Ever since he showed off the “Tusk Fang Stinger,” Lin Sheng had been staring at it with a drooling expression. His intention was as clear as day.
“Why not we sell them for some cash?” Song Jian suggested to both of them.
“Can any player afford such equipment now?” Lin Sheng asked with a furrowed brow. He shook his head and added, “Such equipment is very valuable. I doubt there are many players who can afford it.”
“Yeah, if we sell the set weapon for just a few Doomsday Coins, it would break my heart, I’d rather hold onto them,” Gao Da Nian sighed.
