Without thinking for a few seconds, Wang Zhifan made his choice and then opened the reward chest that had appeared in front of him for a while.

Inside the chest were six items: a black and red thorny headband that looked a bit rudimentary—specifically a rare-level Bear Race Mage Headband, a pair of black-gray fur gloves, and a pair of light gray fur wristbands, which are fine-level Fury Gloves and Frenzy Bracelet, and finally an item he was quite familiar with, a small light yellow scroll, which is a fine-level Warrior Skill Upgrade Scroll.

Among these items, the most precious Bear Race Mage Headband was merely glanced at by Wang Zhifan before he placed it in his personal space.

He immediately put on the Frenzy Bracelet and Fury Gloves, finding them fitting as expected, lightweight yet providing some protective sensation, and appearing simple, neat, neither flashy nor tacky.

Seeing nothing around him that could be considered an enemy, Wang Zhifan still felt an itch to try and trigger the berserk and fury effects of these two sets of equipment.

First, he took out the Wolf-Slaying Blade from his personal space and swung it a few times in the air but felt nothing unusual, confirming that trying to trigger effects by empty swinging was impossible. Then he slashed at a small bush beside him with the Wolf-Slaying Blade.

With that slash, before the branch of the small bush hit the ground, he suddenly felt an indescribable energy throughout his body, significantly enhancing his strength, making his body feel more agile and flexible!

"It can actually trigger!"

Wang Zhifan felt somewhat surprised at this moment, initially thinking that cutting at something like vegetation would be like cutting air, triggering no effects, but that wasn't the case.

With increased interest, he tried slightly cutting the stones and soil on the ground and also used the Wolf-Slaying Blade to slash at the surface of a nearby small puddle, finding that all these actions could trigger the effects of the Frenzy Bracelet and Fury Gloves!

At this moment, when Wang Zhifan opened his personal panel with his mind, he found that his panel status had significantly changed:

[Name: Wang Zhifan.]

[Status: Normal, Berserk 3 (9.7 seconds remaining), Fury 3 (9.7 seconds remaining).]

[Level: Lv2.]

[Experience: 61/100.]

[Profession: Swordsman.]

[Constitution: 18.]

[Strength: 24.]

[Agility: 17.]

[Spirit: 16.]

[Skills: Basic Blade Technique Lv3.]

[Equipped: Wolf-Slaying Blade (Rare), Wolfhide Armor (Fine), Frenzy Bracelet (Fine), Fury Gloves (Fine), Iron Mountain Belt (Rare), Unyielding Ring (Fine), Chapter of Obscurity (Rare).]

[Personal Space: Handgun (Fine), Bear Race Mage Headband (Rare).]

From the panel, he could see that he had already triggered 3 layers of berserk and 3 layers of fury. When he focused on the berserk field in the panel, a more detailed explanation popped up, "Increased attack and movement speed by 12%, increased physical damage by 21%," and the fury field says, "Increased strength by 4 points," which was also reflected in his current personal attributes, indeed increasing from the original base value of 20 to 24 points.

"These two sets of equipment are quite ridiculous; since their bonuses are so easily triggered, this 12% attack and movement speed increase, 21% physical bonus, and 4 points of strength can almost be maintained throughout a battle, making them entirely more powerful than some rare-level equipment." Wang Zhifan could only sigh in his heart at the unknown great existence that created these reward items, which knows nothing about attribute balance. This fine-level Frenzy Bracelet alone is already quite overpowered, and combined with the Fury Gloves, it is utterly the pinnacle of the peak, even though these bonuses disappear in ten seconds. But still, it's superior to the attributes of the vast majority of fine-level equipment, comparable to some rare-level items without breaking a sweat.

"It seems that in future combats, I need to stack up the buffs first before initiating an attack, striving to take down the target in one go." After testing the incredibly powerful effects of the Frenzy Bracelet and Fury Gloves, Wang Zhifan then took out the light yellow scroll, the only item left in the chest, to use it. But unfortunately, he didn't gain any surprise this time either, and the announcement on the panel was exactly the same as last time he used this scroll.

[You've used the Warrior Skill Upgrade Scroll (Fine), your class skill Basic Blade Technique Lv3 upgrade failed.]

Wang Zhifan didn't care much about this and immediately activated the return function on the panel, soon returning to the real world.

With a spirit daze, Wang Zhifan was already standing in his rented apartment; originally, when he entered the instance, he was lying in bed, but it was different now when he came back. From this, it can be known that the posture state upon return is related to the posture in the instance.

Walking to the bed and turning on the phone screen placed there, Wang Zhifan found that it was only about nine in the morning now, a time frame when most people's workday was just beginning, leaving him, an unemployed youth, a bit at loose ends.

"It would be great if I could run a few instances every day... No, my mentality is getting a bit inflated; I can't ignore the dangers of running instances!" Feeling somewhat bored, Wang Zhifan stored the equipment he didn't need to wear regularly back into his personal space, then sat at the laptop on his bedside table and started surfing the internet.

He first checked the player forum that he browsed for a while almost daily. After all, this forum has the official background of the Xia Country, and the information on it is more useful to him.

Before long, a message released by the Xia Country's official Special Administration Bureau caught his attention on the forum.

"Dear players, recently, our bureau has found a batch of foreign player criminals fleeing into major cities within our country, causing some adverse consequences. Our bureau is actively pursuing these foreign criminals and also hopes that players will pay more attention to foreign strangers around them and report any abnormalities by phone immediately. The report number is..."

"Moreover, some of these foreign player criminals are highly dangerous and have already committed major crimes. If any player accidentally encounters them, they must escape immediately and report; highly capable players may directly eliminate them. Our bureau will provide corresponding bounty rewards after verification... The currently known information of these dangerous individuals is as follows..."

The reason why Wang Zhifan was a bit attentive to this official information is that the Dongjiang City, where he is currently located, is undoubtedly a major city within the Xia Country. While it may not be on the top three city level, it is still among the top ten.

"Foreign player criminals... I wonder if there are any in Dongjiang City... But no matter what, I need to be prepared." The cautious nature of Wang Zhifan prompted him to retrieve the few pieces of equipment he had just put into his personal space, planning to maintain some level of combat readiness even in a daily state.
