With the Demon’s Smile earring equipped, one possesses the charm of a demon, attracting the opposite sex’s attention and favor. The likelihood of being attacked first by the opposite gender humanoid bosses is reduced.

Spirit Puppet, consuming 5% of your health to parasitize a friendly summoned creature, gaining its full combat strength plus a 100% attribute bonus from oneself, cooldown time half an hour.

Equipment Requirement: Must possess Dark Power
Li Yao took a deep breath and immediately put it on himself. Selling it? That would be a joke; impossible.

As far as the attributes of this equipment are concerned, this earring is universal, suitable for both men and women.

The attributes it adds are quite substantial, especially the special effects.

The Spirit Puppet is, in fact, the same ability as that of Bixuboxu, which constantly switches bodies, in other words.

In dangerous situations, Li Yao could activate this ability to arbitrarily control a friendly summoned creature.

These summoned creatures include his own pets and his teammates’ pets.

He could not only wield their full combat strength but also gain an attribute bonus from himself.

It would be a very crucial skill for both survival and combat. It could be said that with this skill, Li Yao effectively had an extra life. And it also substantially increased his combat power and flexibility.

Of course, there are plenty of overpowered skills and equipment, and if Li Yao wanted to, it wasn’t impossible to obtain them.

What Li Yao truly valued was the first special effect, the Demon’s Smile.

This special effect seemed rather inconsequential since it did not increase attributes or save lives and did not seem very useful.

Of course, that’s in terms of attributes. But Li Yao actually liked this special effect very much, not because it could attract so-called attention from the opposite sex.

More importantly, it meant that when encountering many formidable humanoid NPCs of the opposite sex, even if they were hostile, they wouldn’t attack him proactively.

Many would see this as superfluous since nobody would provoke such bosses. If one truly provoked them, they had to be eliminated at all costs, making this attribute quite useless.

However, Li Yao knew very well that after wearing it, it would be much easier for him to accept quests from opposite gender NPCs and even boost their affection much more easily.

As a practical example, even though he seemed to have close relationships with the queen and her ladies-in-waiting, the relationship was only amicable. To truly max out the friendship and reap more benefits would take who knows how long and require too much effort.

Especially with someone like the queen with a unique personality, who was also a super boss, making her even more unpredictable. But having this necklace made it much easier to increase affection levels.

More crucially, the fact that hostile NPCs wouldn’t attack him indicated a hidden piece of information, which was that the two parties had entered a neutral state, and the hostility had been removed.

This meant that it was even possible to take on quests in enemy factions, be it the Light Faction or even those in sub-dimensions. Of course, that wouldn’t be simple or easy.

But at least it offered a possibility and a premise.

Moreover, the NPC Li Yao intended to swindle, if he remembered correctly, appeared in female form at this stage.

And aside from those other attributes, Li Yao wouldn’t sell the earring. After all, this was the first time he had ever come across equipment for the ear slot.

This type of equipment was even rarer, and only started appearing after level forty.

“If it were you guys, would you sell it?” Li Yao said as he continued to search the body.

The three girls looked disappointingly but understood. After all, such kick-ass rare equipment wouldn’t be sold by anyone who got it.

The second item didn’t disappoint Li Yao either. It was a schematic for crafting Advanced Flash Grenades, which he promptly learned.

The third item was a cloth armor crown clearly intended for Priests, and specifically for female use.

Although it was purple, the attributes were very good. The special effects of enhanced healing and damage output made it top-notch epic gear, seemingly tailor-made for the light-hearted Xia.

In the end, Li Yao couldn’t resist the girls’ persuasion, yes, even Bing Yu urged Li Yao to sell it to the light-hearted Xia. After thinking it over, since keeping it was pointless, he decided to sell it at a high price.

All that was left were some common items, gemstones, Gold Coins, and so forth.

With their loot sorted, the four set off towards the graveyard to meet up with several others.

They were all in good spirits and chatted leisurely along the way.

The light-hearted Xia suddenly remembered something and asked, “The bosses of the ancient gods are so tough, getting a first kill is incredibly difficult. Most people basically can’t get it.”

“Yeah, my mom says the same thing. Our studio made its name in the ancient gods’ realm because of the first kills our two teams got on those bosses. But there’s this freak who treats first kills like eating and drinking.” Little Kitty’s eyes twinkled with stars.

“Who is that? Sounds amazing.” The light-hearted Xia inquired nonchalantly.

“Prairie Fire, who else? He’s my idol. Right now, Prairie Fire is universally acknowledged as the number one in skill. Not even the toughest alien players can beat him. Moreover, he’s got a ton of first kills, and the internet is full of his Hunter tutorial videos. Otherwise, do you think there would be so many Hunters around? They would have changed professions long ago.” Little Kitty exclaimed excitedly, “The pity is, the guy’s too arrogant. I send him dozens of friend requests every day and all get ignored. It’s so annoying.”

Li Yao’s step faltered slightly as the corner of his mouth twitched.

“There really are a lot of his videos online, and it seems like each one has a lot of views,” said Bing Yu after doing a quick search.

“My gosh, are you sure you’re Earthlings? Playing ancient gods and not knowing Prairie Fire? Impossible. And what do you mean by ‘quite a lot’ of views? My idol has a bunch of videos topping the view charts, okay? No one surpasses him,” Little Kitty said excitedly.

“Eh, we started playing later, and we just play within our little circle. We don’t watch competitions or have time to hang out on forums,” the light-hearted Xia explained.

“No wonder. Sister Bing Yu, as a Hunter, you should watch more of my idol’s videos; it would definitely improve your skills a lot. It’s just too bad my mom won’t let me change professions, otherwise, I’d be playing a Hunter too,” Little Kitty said, giving a glance at the silently enduring Li Yao. “And don’t let this guy fool you, his skills are way inferior to my idol’s, he’s all talk. Also, his attire is just a copy of my idol. It’s so tacky, you know.”

Li Yao was speechless and could only continue to say nothing.

“Aside from Prairie Fire, are there other experts who can solo bosses and discover exploits?” the light-hearted Xia inquired.

Little Kitty thought for a moment, “Discovering exploits is a technique that Prairie Fire himself came up with and utilized. To this day, apart from my idol, no one else has been able to come forward at the same level as the boss. Even super experts like my dad say they can exploit low-level bosses easily, but peers of the same level are just too difficult.”

A glint of light flashed in the light-hearted Xia’s eyes, but as she had said, she didn’t have much of an idea about Prairie Fire. Therefore, even with some doubts, she couldn’t be certain, and delving into these matters was pointless. She was a smart person.

If this Hunter was indeed Prairie Fire, he must have had a reason for changing his identity. So, she deftly changed the subject…
