Chapter 241: It Wasn’t Shameful
In the huge Arena, the Black Armored Gnome Arthur was preparing at the side.
Arthur was in the final round of the Dark Rider Tournament.
After going through the preliminaries, the public semifinals, and five days of competition, Arthur defeated all his opponents—who were all gamers—and proceeded to the final round.
During this period, Arthur spent close to a few million Renminbi to buy game currency to overhaul his personal equipment.
The huge Trident obtained from the Ancient Gods battle was reforged into batches of weapons and armor using the Large Furnace.
Though the Trident was huge, it was only reforged into five sets of armor and weapons.
These pieces of equipment could be used as special rewards for the gamers.
The reward for the Dark Rider Tournament was a set of Legendary Equipment.
Arthur spent a fortune to ensure he had quality and cool-looking equipment.
They were a Helmet, Breastplate, Pauldron, Plate Leggings, Combat Boots, Couters, and Gauntlets. Arthur chose a Single-handed Sword, which was longer than the Short Sword.

The Breastplate had the highest defenses. The remaining Helmet, Pauldron, and Plate Leggings were a bit inferior. The weapon attributes were higher than Arthur’s current weapon:

(Already soul-bound to Arthur)
In the game, Arthur’s equipment was number one.
Arthur was the only gamer who assembled the five-piece set bonus. As for the special effects…
“Arthur, have you tried the special effects? Is the damage really effective?”
Before the start of the tournament, NotWearingPants, who was his support group, asked this question as he helped Arthur to relax.
“Should be. I can feel the power of the next attack getting stronger.”
Arthur nodded, and Peasant asked, “Could it be a psychological effect? I didn’t see any special effects. Normally, equipment sets will have special effects. Take a look at DNF and WOW. They have special effects.”
“What do you know? This is a brand new game. It’s understandable if it doesn’t have special effects.”
Sylvanas slapped Peasant and said to Arthur, “Arthur Bro, buck up. This is the last opponent. He isn’t your match!”
“No, Dragonborn is very strong. Based on their prowess, I feel he’s on par with Arthur.”
Sylvanas glared at BurningChestHair and said, “What do you mean on par? How can a novice gamer like Dragonborn be compared to Arthur? With this set of equipment, he can single-handedly challenge the BOSS in the normal difficulty Instance Dungeon!”
“After comparing equipment, Dragonborn doesn’t have any chance. I feel I’m on par with Arthur. We’ll have a brawl without equipment and see who’s better.”
BurningChestHair was indignant. Sylvanas took out her bow and said, “If you want to fight Arthur Bro, defeat me first!”
“I can’t win, I can’t win.”
Seeing Sylvanas with her bow, BurningChestHair gave up.
Someone shouted that Arthur had completed his preparation.
Only one-third of the spectator seats were filled. Many of them were students from Technical and Mana Schools, the nobles who were there to support Onionhead, and the gamers who wanted to watch the finals.
The gamers even set up bets. Sherlock wasn’t interested in gambling, so he didn’t bother with them.
It was understandable why the finals weren’t popular.
After the preliminaries, all the contestants were from Eternal Kingdom, so there wasn’t much interest. But there was an exception—Baron Andrew.
The highly jealous Devil sat on the platform and exuded an extremely sour aura. Sherlock only glanced at him because he could feel Andrew’s intense jealousy.
The tournament commenced.
The finalists were the Black Armored Arthur and the Silver Armored Dragonborn.
They fought fiercely once they came onto the platform, both of their combat skills flawless.
The set equipment had psychological effects. It caused Arthur’s strength to increase tremendously. Both of them were fearful, but before long, Dragonborn was killed.
The battle only lasted for ten minutes.
The first battle between Arthur and Dragonborn ended with clear results.
Arthur’s support group cheered wildly and congratulated him for being the Dark Rider. As for the Legendary Equipment reward, Arthur had one set already. The reward equipment would most like be sold for money.
Arthur didn’t seem to have made any loss.
The members of Springfield Flower Kindergarten weren’t disappointed. Losing to Arthur wasn’t shameful. The most important thing was that their chairman obtained the second prize! However, the reward for the second prize was disgraceful!
