Chapter 344 Midnight Knocking
Michelle, Candice, and Jack stared at the table in front of them.
There were three white-level protective suits.
Currently, at Cloud Peak Manor, whether for core members or ordinary warriors, the best protective suits were only gray-level. Compared to the white-level weapons that had become common among core members, they were a notch lower.
And the Thousand-Leaf Phosphorescent Armor blueprint that William had mastered was not yet made due to a lack of sufficient materials.
So when the white-level protective suits appeared in front of they three, their surprise outweighed their joy.
These three pieces of equipment indeed cost William quite a few valuable items, including Devil's Gold, which might be hard to come by in the future.
From a cost-effectiveness perspective, it seemed a waste to upgrade three ordinary-level pieces of equipment to white level by using Devil's Gold. However, to enhance the manor's strength after his departure, William felt it was worthy and necessary.
"The defense is quite good. I've tested it. The strength is enough to withstand the Edge of the Moon without any additional abilities and has self-repair capabilities. As long as it's not completely destroyed, it can restore itself after a period. You three are all melee fighters, and sometimes you have to fight desperately. These three pieces of equipment can provide you with some protection. However, don't rely on them excessively, especially you, Jack. Don't become dependent on equipment, especially defensive equipment, or you'll end up in trouble later on."
Jack scratched his head with a grin, nodded, and directly took off his original clothes, putting on the largest suit, looking very pleased.
Candice and Michelle were naturally happy, too. A good piece of defensive equipment could be life-saving at critical moments, especially since this equipment was white-level, a rare and valuable item.
The next item William took out caused another round of exclamations—a silver-level piece of equipment. "This is called Aqua Staff, and it's for Ms. Foster."
He tossed it to Lucy, who quickly took it and examined it carefully.
William said, "I made this Aqua Staff based on a wand, and the result is quite satisfactory." William looked at the wand, recalling the difficulties during its creation, and couldn't help but feel lucky.
Compared to the Shadow of the Deep Cold Ripple, made by mixing the three most powerful tails of the Three-Tailed Demon Frog with Devil's Gold, making the Aqua Staff was more of a gamble.
"There are only two skills, not many, but both are quite good." All individuals present were curious. Anything William deemed good was considered top-notch in their eyes.
"One passive skill, Harmony Aura." William remarked with a complex expression. He had been taken aback when the passive skill had first appeared after he had added Devil's Gold.
"A passive skill that enhances the effects of non-attack skills. This is almost like a gift from God for Ms. Foster." William's praise received unanimous agreement. This passive skill was tailor-made for Lucy, as all the skills Ms. Foster had mastered so far were non-attack in nature, meaning they could all be enhanced under this passive skill.
Ms. Foster's profession was already envied by many. As the apocalypse progressed and battles increased in frequency and intensity, everyone realized how important it was to have a medical professional.
With this skill, Lucy's stronger skills significantly improved the safety of her companions, which was good news for everyone.
"And the other skill?"
"What about the other skill?" Lucy asked eagerly.
William replied, "The other is an active skill, Tidal Surge."
It was an attack skill.
Everyone thought the Aqua Staff should ideally had non-attack active skill, especially since its passive skill enhanced the effects of non-attack skills.
Initially, William agreed, but after seeing the description of the active skill, he changed his mind.
This should be another large-scale attack skill, following Natalie's professional skill. When activated, it could create a wave that oscillates several times, attacking enemies within range. The more times the wave oscillated, the more times the enemies were attacked.
William had tested it once. The wave's width exceeded 60 feet, height around 30 feet, and moved a distance of 150 to 200 feet. The attack power within this range could flatten a building, showing its immense power.
With this skill, Lucy's role would no longer be singular. In battles, she could play a significant role.
She was the only other person besides William who had taken Insect Powder, with strong mental power. Lucy could use this skill three times in a short period, creating three massive waves. Such an attack force would make even William retreat.
However, in actual combat, Lucy would still primarily play a support role. But if the enemy ignored her, they would suffer.
William avert his eyes and turn to Ceil. "Here's a pair of shoes we confiscated. Take them, Cecil. They can boost your agility. You don't always have to absorb all the damage. In addition to agility, these shoes will also improve your jumping skills. Get used to them."
These were confiscated from the leader of the Kiel Knights, the rival force of the Burning Fury warband, which William had already eliminated.
Cecil took the white shoes with a smile and put them on immediately. Ceil felt something satisfactory that could be helpful in battle.
William then took out a few more items, distributing them to Tom, the Grayson siblings, Clarissa, and Brian, who wasn't present. Those who received white-level equipment got one piece each, while those who didn't received several gray-level pieces. On the surface, this seemed fair, but in fact, the items for those who had been with William were much better.
After distributing the equipment, William handed a backpack to Michelle, containing all his Level 1 and Level 2 Magic Crystals. These were reserves for the manor, and how to use them would be up to his subordinates after he left.
William waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's it for today. I'll be leaving for a while tomorrow morning. Not sure how long I'll be gone. As usual, Michelle will take over my duties while I'm away, with Candice as her deputy. Dismissed."
With that, William left the meeting room first.
With one night left before his departure, William planned to rest well, but before he could fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, he found Michelle standing there, staring at him with a complex expression.
