Chapter 290: I won't feel guilty when I kill you later



Not long after, the SS-grade shield was delivered to Mike's mailbox.

The other stats weren't important. As an SS-grade piece of equipment that couldn't be upgraded and was only level 300, it was just a shield-defensive, not offensive.

Mike didn't expect the shield itself to have any extraordinary attributes.

What Mike valued most was the shield's perk-[Perfect Block].

[Perfect Block]: When carrying shield value, facing an enemy's attack, holding the shield can enter a perfect block state. Using a specific stance to meet the attack can reduce the damage to the shield value by 30%. Additionally, shield value can offset true damage.

Each perfect block consumes 1 point of durability!

Current durability: 1000

To trigger a perfect block, there are two prerequisites:

1. Mike must have shield value.

2. He must perfectly shield himself with the shield to trigger it!

Once successfully triggered, the benefits are immense!

30% damage reduction and the ability to use shield value to block true damage.

These two points are extremely beneficial for Mike at this stage.

While eating lunch, Mike's LoneWolf badge vibrated slightly.

You have two new unread messages.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Mike glanced down:

Master Fool: Good news and bad news

Master Fool: The good news is, Force of Nature has become SSS-grade equipment. Awesome!

Mike hadn't even had time to celebrate.

Master Fool's next message hit Mike like a ton of bricks, nearly giving him a heart attack.

Master Fool: The bad news is, Force of Nature has a small defect that needs some resources to fix.

Mike's hand trembled slightly as he gritted his teeth and typed a message.

Thor: Just tell me the price.

Master Fool: Not much, 600,000 Lord merits.

Six hundred thousand Lord merits!

Mike fell silent.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to spend the money, but... Mike didn't have that much!

Master Fool looking for a kickback?

The thought crossed Mike's mind, but he shook his head.

She wasn't that kind of demon.

She was a fool, not that scheming.

Besides, Mike had the Eye of Truth; he could tell if it was true or false at a glance.

"Shadow Nine, I need to go back to my private space."

Mike said quietly to Shadow Nine as he walked towards the restroom.

Seeing Mike head to the restroom, the students in the cafeteria's C section buzzed with excitement, whispering among themselves.

"Look, Mike's going to see Thor!"

Spend whatever it takes to get this equipment's attributes back!

A level 300 SSS-grade Force of Nature could provide Mike with 120,000 Intelligence and

60,000 Spirit!

The strength of SSS-grade equipment was ten times, even a hundred times that of SS-grade

equipment!

Putting away the Force of Nature's attribute panel, Mike noticed Master Fool's expression was a bit strange, as if she had something to say but hesitated.

Mike was straightforward, "Just say it, it's fine."

Master Fool stammered, "Actually, at first, the reforging went smoothly, and the Force of Nature successfully upgraded to SSS-grade equipment, but it was the lowest tier. I got greedy and, in a moment of weakness, forced the Force of Nature's grade up another level..."

Master Fool offered two solutions:

1. Spend 100,000 Lord merits, and the Force of Nature's grade would slightly drop but remain

SSS-grade.

2. Spend 600,000 Lord merits, and the Force of Nature would become the top-tier SSS-grade equipment, retaining its current attribute bonuses, and the perks would be even stronger!

"I'll spend the 600,000."

Mike didn't hesitate.

He earned and saved money to spend it!

"I'll find a way to get the rest of the money, even if I have to borrow from Shadow Nine or find

other means. Don't worry about it."

With that, Mike was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Master Fool called out, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "I'll cover the

cost!"

"No need."

Mike shook his head, "I don't want to owe you anything."

Huh?

Why did Thor seem different today?

Before Master Fool could feel touched for three seconds, Mike's next words shattered her

defenses.

"So I won't feel guilty when I kill you later."

Master Fool: ...

In the end, she had misjudged!

Mike turned and left gracefully, muttering to himself, "Master Fool actually has 600,000

Lord merits. I need to find a way to get it from her before she returns to the abyss..."

The reason Mike didn't take Master Fool's 600,000 was that he believed, since she had that

much, he would eventually get it from her.

Taking it now would mean owing her a favor.

No way!

A dignified human potential Supreme Being couldn't do such a thing!
