Super equipment

Jaxon declined Goldenleaf University's offer to drive him home and instead pushed his cart back to his residence alone.

Compared to buying a car, Jaxon wasn't in a hurry to buy a house. For one thing, housing prices were exorbitantly high, especially in places like Goldenleaf University, where they could reach three to four thousand per square meter, and in some cases, even exceed ten thousand per square meter. Jaxon was still in the early stages of his entrepreneurial journey and didn't have much money to spare for such an expense.

Moreover, he was quite content with his current living situation. Although he was renting, his landlord was kind, the rent was affordable, the surrounding environment was decent, and most importantly, he had the entire large apartment to himself. Naturally, he saw no urgent need to buy a house.

After tidying up, Jaxon once again crossed over into the game world.

Jaxon's figure reappeared at the edge of the forest behind the mountain. He glanced behind him but didn't see the familiar little creature. He breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt a tinge of disappointment. The little creature was quite mischievous, but its nature wasn't bad. After spending some time playing with it, Jaxon had actually grown fond of it.

Upon returning from the back mountain, Jaxon was called over by the village elder.

"The time is right. You should set off now. It's quite a distance to the county town, and the journey isn't very safe. You need to leave early," the village elder said.

With that, the elder took out a small pile of items from beside him and handed them to Jaxon. "These are prepared for you by everyone in the village. Take them. With these, you'll be much safer. Unless you deliberately seek death, it would be difficult for others to kill you."

The reward arrived before the mission even began!

Jaxon quickly took the items and used his Appraisal Skill without delay.

Brightheart Chainmail: Gold Tier (Forged by Sun Yulin): Attributes: Defense +80, Strength +30, Constitution +40, Attached Skill: Damage Absorption (Active Skill). Damage Absorption: When attacked, it can reduce 50% of the damage received. It can be used once per hour, and the uses cannot be stacked.

What a loss!

When Jaxon saw these pieces of equipment, he was so excited that his eyes turned red, but at the same time, he felt a great deal of regret.

It was obvious that the villagers, knowing he already had a weapon, boots, and a tunic, had not prepared those three items for him. Instead, they had prepared other things, allowing him to fully equip himself from head to toe.

Had he known this, Jaxon should have stored those three items every time he returned to the village. That way, he could have obtained three more pieces of equipment, and they would have been Gold Tier items.

Gold Tier equipment! The attributes were significantly higher than those of Silver Tier or Bronze Tier items. To lose out on three such items, Jaxon naturally felt a great sense of regret and a significant invisible loss!

While Jaxon was filled with regret, the village elder took out a jade pendant and handed it to him, saying, "These items were prepared for you by others. Since you are representing our village in military service this time, I, as the village elder, must also show my appreciation. Take this jade pendant. I acquired it during my early years of wandering outside and have kept it with me all these years. Now I pass it on to you."

Jaxon happily accepted the jade pendant.

Another piece of equipment!

White Crane Jade Pendant: Legendary Tier: Attributes: Luck +10, Charisma +10, Critical Strike Rate +10%, Weakness Attack Damage +30%, Skill Proficiency Growth Speed +20%, Equipment Drop Rate +20%, Life Skill Level +1 (Note: This attribute does not take effect if the skill level reaches Master level).

Legendary Tier! It was actually a Legendary Tier item!

Jaxon was so excited that he trembled all over. His previous feelings of regret had long dissipated. He never expected to obtain a Legendary Tier item today. It was second only to divine artifacts in rarity, and there were not many of them on the entire continent. And now he had one!

What excited Jaxon even more was that the attributes added by this pendant were all hidden attributes. Hidden attributes did exist, but they were not displayed on the attribute panel, and ordinary equipment simply could not add any hidden attributes.

Thus, this piece of equipment was truly invaluable and definitely lived up to its Legendary Tier status.

The village elder was indeed extraordinary in his generosity!

Jaxon, who had previously been somewhat discontented with being assigned to military service, no longer harbored any such thoughts. No matter the outcome of this military service, he had already gained a great deal!

"Thank you, elder, thank you so much," Jaxon said excitedly to the village elder.

"Alright, alright, it's time for you to leave," the village elder said to Jaxon. "Remember, you must perform well and not bring shame to our village."

"Understood!" Jaxon replied loudly. "Rest assured, I will not bring shame to our village!"

"That's good," the village elder said with satisfaction.

Jaxon turned to leave, but after taking just a few steps, he stopped and turned back to the village elder, asking, "Grandpa Elder, what is the name of our village? I wouldn't know how to report if I don't know the name."

Jaxon had been here for some time and had truly not known the name of the village. It had only just occurred to him to ask this question.

"The name, you say," the village elder slightly rocked in his lounge chair, his eyes half-closed, and his voice somewhat ethereal. "Our village is called Hermit Village!"

"Hermit Village?" Jaxon pondered the name, feeling that it was not an ordinary one.

However, he didn't think too much about it. Village names couldn't really say much. Some villages had very casual names, while others had very imposing ones, but that didn't mean that people from villages with casual names were inferior to those from villages with imposing names.

Watching Jaxon's figure recede into the distance, the village elder's voice faintly echoed, "It has been a long time since anyone from our village has gone out. I wonder if people outside still remember us old folks. I'm getting old. I hope this young man won't disappoint us."

As Jaxon walked, he reviewed his attributes. Compared to when he first arrived in this world, his attributes had undergone a complete transformation.

Of course, most of these impressive attributes came from his equipment. His own level was still a meager three.
