[Ding! Do you wish to open the platinum-grade exclusive equipment treasure chest in front of you?]

“Yes!” Jiang Bai answered frankly.

[Ding! Congratulations to player “Maise the God” for obtaining the platinum-grade exclusive equipment for Beastmasters: Beastmaster Spirit Ball.]

“A Beastmaster Spirit Ball!!!” Upon hearing the system’s notification, Jiang Bai was overjoyed! He didn’t expect to be so lucky today!

He wanted a Beastmaster Spirit Ball, and he got one!

For a moment, Jiang Bai’s heart was racing. He immediately opened the remaining gold treasure chest.

[Ding! Congratulations to player “Maise the God” for obtaining a gold-grade weapon: Blood Blade!]

[Blood Blade: A three-meter long crimson blade. Upon equipment, 10 points will be added to stamina, and 50 points to strength. The blade brings with it a life-steal property, as well as a skill “Rage”.]

[Rage: An additional attack will be added every three attacks.]

[Equipment Requirements: Level 15, 150 points of strength attribute.]

“Oh, it’s actually a warrior class weapon!” Jiang Bai’s face was filled with joy.

He remembered that this weapon could be considered one of the exclusive weapons for early-stage berserkers, a first transition class of the warrior class.

Almost every berserker player would like this weapon.

Not only would it increase stamina by 10 points, but it also increased the player’s strength by 50 points. It also had a life-steal effect.

On top of that, it had an additional skill “Rage” that would allow an additional attack every three attacks!

Though the requirements for equipping this weapon were quite harsh.

If one were to equip this weapon at the standard of level 15, one would probably have to spend all one’s potential points to increase the strength attribute. Otherwise, the attribute points of strength would not be enough.

Only the current Jiang Bai could achieve such a feat at level 15.

To him, this could be said to currently be the most suitable weapon for him.

Now, he was only at level 12, and his strength attribute was only at 130 points.

He planned to equip this weapon after reaching level 15.

Then, Jiang Bai threw this weapon into his backpack.

After opening the treasure chests, Jiang Bai took the platinum-grade Beastmaster Spirit Ball and immediately wanted to keep Ickes in it, but he was rejected!

No matter what he said, the other party refused to go in.

Rather, Ickes looked at him as if he was a fool.

“Please be good and go in. This is a platinum-grade Beastmaster Spirit Ball. It’s much better than the basic version from before. You’ll definitely like it after you go in!” At this moment, Jiang Bai was like a strange uncle trying to deceive a little girl. He kept shaking the Beastmaster Spirit Ball in his hand as if he was shaking a delicious lollipop.

However, Ickes didn’t fall for it at all.

Rather, the way she looked at Jiang Bai was like she was looking at an idiot.

Did he think she was stupid?

Or did she look that stupid?

These words were written on Ickes’ face.

Even if she were beaten to death, she would not enter Jiang Bai’s current Beastmaster Spirit Ball!

Let alone the fact that she had no intention of going in at all, even if she was really tired and wanted to rest, how could a mere platinum-grade Beastmaster Spirit Ball be worthy of her presence?

Seeing that Ickes still didn’t want to enter, Jiang Bai wanted to persuade her a little more.

However, Ickes directly stretched out her hand to grab the Beastmaster Spirit Ball in Jiang Bai’s hand, as if she wanted to crush it!

Seeing this, Jiang Bai’s expression turned pale with fright.

He immediately protected the Beastmaster Spirit Ball in his palm and took a few steps back, his gaze fixed on Ickes.

He could not help but curse in his heart, “This prodigal woman!”

Was this a joke?

This was platinum-grade equipment, something that could be sold for millions in the outside world!

Even in his previous life, it would still be worth tens of millions!

Yet Ickes was actually planning to crush it again?

If he allowed Ickes to crush it, wouldn’t he suffer a great loss?

When Su Muxue saw this scene, she giggled.

This was the first time she saw a pet in the game disobeying a player’s orders.

Su Muxue was quite curious about this.

After all, this was something that had never happened before in the other games.

“Could it be that this is a unique feature of Sword and Magic? Or does she have a mission exclusive to Jiang Bai? Or is it something else?” Su Muxue pondered.

No matter what, the lady was Jiang Bai’s familiar, so she didn’t have any other thoughts.

Therefore, under the circumstances that Ickes would rather die than submit, Jiang Bai could only give up temporarily.

Right now, he and Su Muxue were heading to the outskirts of the bamboo forest outside the novice village, to the edge of the town.

The wandering dragon-descent witch was there.

Jiang Bai wanted to complete the village chief’s mission as soon as possible to get the purple guild token as soon as possible, and head to the nearby town.

After all, only by reaching the town could a player’s journey be considered to have really started.

If they stayed in the novice village, even if Jiang Bai knew a lot of secret information from his previous life, he would not be able to use it.

Along the way, Jiang Bai was surprised that he did not encounter a single wild monster, which he found very strange.

Could it be that all the wild monsters along the way had been cleared by the players?

Even so, they should have respawned by now, right?

However, what made Jiang Bai even more speechless was that along the way, he had encountered a lot of players who formed parties to besiege him. If it were not for Ickes, he would have long been surrounded and killed by the players!

“What the hell Is going on? I don’t think I have a personal grudge against them, right?” Jiang Bai frowned.

Back when he killed young master Li and the others, it was because he didn’t have a choice.

To be honest, he was reluctant to casually kill ordinary players. After all, it would attract too much hatred.

Jiang Bai still hoped that he could develop in secret.

Feeling puzzled, he finally found the answer in the regional channel.

Instantly, Jiang Bai was enlightened and sneered in his heart.

He finally understood why.

It was all thanks to young master Li and the others again!

They knew that they couldn’t beat him with their strength, so they encouraged all the players in the novice village to attack him?

“Humph! They are really too naive!” Jiang Bai picked up all the pieces of novice equipment that were on the ground.

Since they wanted to kill him and share the benefits, Jiang Bai had no qualms about killing them again.

“I had no intentions of doing this, but you guys provoked me on purpose!”
