SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Wrathful Dragon Light Armor Set! Powerful Boost! Heading to the Alchemy Department!

TL: Etude Translations

“What is this…?”

Looking at the full set of equipment in the box, Zhou Yi was somewhat stunned.

Unexpectedly, aside from the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus, an S-Rank natural treasure, the Snow Dragon Legion had also included an extra gift…

[Equipment: Wrathful Dragon Belt]
[Quality: Gold ☆]
[Attributes: Strength +21, Constitution +19]
[Level Requirement: Level 18 or above]
[Race Restriction: None]
[Profession Restriction: None]
[Set Effects:
1. Two-Piece Set: Strength +10, Attack Speed +10%.
2. Four-Piece Set: Strength +10, Constitution +10, Attack Speed +15%.]

[Equipment: Wrathful Dragon Leg Guards]
[Quality: Gold ☆☆]
[Attributes: Agility +20, Constitution +18]
[Level Requirement: Level 18 or above]
[Race Restriction: None]
[Profession Restriction: None]
[Set Effects:
1. Two-Piece Set: Strength +10, Attack Speed +10%.
2. Four-Piece Set: Strength +10, Constitution +10, Attack Speed +15%.]

Under the appraisal technique, the attributes of this set were laid bare.

The quality was at least Gold One-Star.

Additionally, as a complete four-piece set, the light armor equipment in the box included a chest piece, belt, leg guards, and a ring.

If Zhou Yi wore the full Wrathful Dragon Light Armor Set, the cumulative enhancement would provide: Strength +45, Constitution +46, Agility +31, and Intelligence +20 in four-dimensional attributes.

Moreover, there was a 15% set bonus to attack speed.

Judging by the four-dimensional attribute boost, it was clear that this Wrathful Dragon set primarily amplified Strength and Constitution, making it ideal for melee professions.

For Zhou Yi, who had transferred to a Saint Knight, this set was especially suitable.

“This is just too perfect…”

After learning from Teacher Wang Hui that possessing the Medal of Outstanding Contribution could grant him 2,000 credits, Zhou Yi had planned to browse the school’s online marketplace that evening to select a set of Gold-Grade Light Armor.

Unexpectedly, an entire set had been delivered directly to him.

“Could this be because of my good luck?”

With a self-deprecating laugh, Zhou Yi stopped overthinking.

He first removed the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus from the box. Then, with a thought, the remaining equipment was transferred into his backpack space.

Naturally, the original White-Grade equipment and Forest Ring stored inside were taken out and placed on the coffee table.

“Xiao Hei, take these items for recycling.”

Student levels increased rapidly, and equipment turnover was even more frequent. To ensure that unused equipment was properly handled, Suhang University had a dedicated equipment recycling system.

Once recycled, the equipment would also grant a certain amount of credits.

As Zhou Yi spoke, two mechanical claws extended from the hovering mechanical sphere, Xiao Hei. With a swift motion, they grabbed the equipment on the table and flew down the pathway leading to the villa’s open-air training grounds.

Next, the equipment would be collected by professionals during the maintenance of the training ground.

“Now that the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus has arrived, it’s time to arrange for the Alchemy Department to collect the materials and refine the Extreme Cold Pill…”

Zhou Yi pulled out his phone, extending his right hand to grasp the screen.

With a quick wave forward, the phone’s display transformed into a holographic projection in mid-air.

Soon…

Zhou Yi logged into the school’s official website through the hologram and navigated to the alchemy module.

After a brief search, the information about the Extreme Cold Pill appeared on the holographic projection:

“Extreme Cold Pill, S-Rank Elixir.
Effect: After consumption, it transforms the user’s constitution into an Ice Constitution and significantly enhances ice-element affinity.”

“This is it!!!”

Zhou Yi’s eyes lit up, and he immediately selected the option to provide his own materials for refinement.

However, just as he clicked to place the order, a pale blue popup message appeared abruptly:

“Elixirs rated A- or higher must be discussed in person with an alchemist at the Alchemy Department.”

“I can’t even place an order online…”

“Forget it, I’ll just go to the Alchemy Department directly.”

Zhou Yi could understand this requirement.

After all, elixirs rated A- or above ranged from a minimum of A-Rank to a maximum of S+ Rank! Refining such high-tier elixirs required numerous A-Rank natural treasures.

For example, the Extreme Cold Pill he intended to refine utilized the S-Rank Extreme Cold Ice Lotus as the primary ingredient, supplemented by the A-Rank Ice Crystal Grass, and several B+ and B-Rank natural treasures.

Given the complexity and significance, an in-person consultation was entirely reasonable.

Additionally, alchemists capable of refining S-Rank elixirs would need to personally assess the materials.

…

Similar to the Magical Pet Market, the Alchemy Department was located in the southern part of Suhang University.

However, unlike the open-air market of the Magical Pet Market, the Alchemy Department was housed in a standalone building.

The building towered over 100 meters high with a total of 16 floors.

A massive alchemical emblem was engraved on the ceramic-tiled facade of the building.

This was the Alchemy Department of Suhang University.

Logically speaking, with Suhang University’s student and faculty population totaling only about 6,000, such a large building seemed unnecessary.

The reason was simple.

Years ago, a former university president of Suhang University sought to ensure students and faculty had access to superior elixirs while reducing costs.

He recruited numerous high-tier alchemists from across Zhongxia Country to serve at the university.

The influx of elite alchemists created a stir among the alchemy community in Ning’an City.

Many local alchemists flocked to Suhang University to seek guidance.

Over time, Suhang University became a hub for outstanding alchemists.

The university, delighted by this development, decided to construct a dedicated building for these alchemists.

This building also served as the Ning’an City Alchemists’ Association Headquarters, a role it maintained to this day.

…

Soon, a tall and slender figure arrived at the imposing building.

Zhou Yi, carrying a password-protected case, entered the first-floor lobby of the Alchemy Department.

This case was the one sent by the Snow Dragon Legion.

Inside, besides the S-Rank Extreme Cold Ice Lotus and the A-Rank Ice Crystal Grass, it also contained the S-Rank natural treasure Dragon Condensing Fruit that he had obtained from the system treasure chest earlier that morning.

He planned to see if he could also have the fruit refined into an elixir.

As soon as Zhou Yi stepped into the lobby, a strong herbal aroma filled his senses.

Unlike the bitterness of common medicinal herbs, this fragrance carried a distinct, refreshing quality that was surprisingly pleasant.

Glancing around, Zhou Yi’s gaze landed on the information desk situated in the center of the lobby.

He strode forward immediately.

A girl, appearing to be in her early twenties, was stationed at the desk.

She had delicate features and wore a classical alchemist uniform with a hint of vintage elegance.

Noticing Zhou Yi approaching, the girl quickly replaced her expression with a professional smile and greeted him:

“Are you here to join the Alchemists’ Association, classmate?”

Zhou Yi shook his head.

“I’m here to request an alchemist to refine a batch of elixirs for me.”

“For elixir refinement, you can place an order directly on the school’s official website…”

Before finishing her sentence, the girl quickly realized:

“Are you requesting the refinement of A- or higher-tier elixirs?”

“Yes.”

Receiving a confirmation, the girl’s demeanor instantly became more respectful.

After all…

Elixirs rated A- or above weren’t something an average student could afford to refine.

“Please wait a moment. I’ll issue you a number token. Take it to the 10th floor directly.”

As she spoke, she handed over a cold, silver-white metallic token.

“Thank you.”

Accepting the token, Zhou Yi wasted no time heading toward the elevators in the lobby.
