Chapter 284: Chapter 182: Arrow of Slaying the Dragon_2
[You step into the ’Eyeball Laboratory’....]
[Bennett with a bird-beaked mask is operating experimental instruments at the lab table, from the looks of it, he has learned the knowledge of ’Eyeball Fusion’ and is attempting the related experimental techniques.]
[He sees you come and promptly puts down his work, asking if you need to undergo an eyeball transplant?]
[You nod, pulling out ’The Eye of the King of the Shadow Demon’ and hand it to him...]
[...]
The transplant surgery didn’t go smoothly this time.
Lin Xun got two ’Eyes of the King of the Shadow Demon’.
He wanted to know the exact effect of ’Dark Shadow’ first, so he only implanted one into the Mage’s Shell’s eyes.
However, the Mage’s Shell did not obtain the special effect of the ’Dark Shadow’.
He didn’t believe in ill luck. He attempted the eye transplant again and again, but the result was the same every time.
On Bennett’s reminder, he learned that there could be two possibilities for this situation.
The first is that the unique power in the eyeball is too weak to support the shell to comprehend the special effect, perhaps another same eyeball could solve the problem.
The second is that the powerful force within the eyeball is not compatible with the shell, causing the shell unable to assimilate the power within the eyeball.
Lin Xun could only try to transplant different shells continuously, which exhausted Bennett.
When both eyes were transplanted into the dancer’s shell, he finally succeeded in understanding the ’Dark Shadow’.
[’Dark Shadows’ (special effect): the underworld shadow demons can hide their bodies rapidly in the dark, making it impossible for people to catch their shadows. As the eyes of a shadow demon contain the essence of their power, naturally, they have the same effect.]
[Obtaining this effect will enhance your stealth skills, making it difficult for others to expose you.]
[This enhancement effect is linked to the current environment’s light intensity, in a dim environment, your stealth effect will get greatly strengthened.]
Lin Xun was a mix of happiness and worries.
He was happy because the most practical stealth ability finally got enhanced, granting the dancer another chance to appear on stage.
He was anxious because the ’Dark Shadow’ was not much help in slaying the Underworld Demon Boss.
Unless the dancer could kill the Boss with one hit, the figure would still be exposed after the attack, wasting a little soul strength.
"If the Mage had stealth skills that could match the enhancement effect of the eyeball, we could capture the Demon Boss easily."
After the Mage released his skills, he could disappear and run away and then cast spells from a safe distance... Acting in such a cycle is no different than joining the ’Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect’, it’s just like cheating.
However, the enhancement effect of the eyeball is tied to the brightness of the environment. If it’s in a bright place, the enhancement effect would greatly decrease.
After contemplating for a while, Lin Xun still couldn’t figure out a strategy against the Demon Boss.
He deliberated for a while and finally decided to use the most primitive method - power through it.
If he can’t beat the Boss, it means he’s not strong enough. When faced with ultimate power, there’s no need for any restraint abilities or restraint tools at all.
"Perhaps the Demon Boss is one of the bosses that must be hard-pushed, there’s no skipping."
At this time, he still needs more than half an hour to restore his soul strength to two points.
If he wanted to rebuild the Mage’s shell and fight the Boss again, he needed to wait another half hour.
He counted the spirit essence in his pocket, which amounted to five hundred and ninety thousand, a significant amount of money.
The contribution of these ’Mist Barrier Zombies’ couldn’t be ignored, as they greatly increased the thickness of his wallet.
With so much spiritual essence and coming up against a bottleneck, it would be unacceptable not to enhance his strength.
Since his soul strength hasn’t fully recovered yet, Lin Xun teleported back to the library.
[...]
[You step forward and touch the ’Book of Trade’ as ordinary wandering souls resonate with it...]
In the strategy section, the Underworld Game automatically shields items related to the Chapter’s content.
Reliance on buying and selling items in the ’Book of Trade’ is not realistic.
However, where there are rules, there are loopholes. The Apostle Council kindly launched a related service for the registered Apostles.
On the Apostle forum, there is a channel in the item trading section for purchasing specific items.
The officials made a fortune by earning from both buying and selling channels and became immensely rich...
Lin Xun browsed the Book of Trade.
As he hasn’t yet completed the fourth difficulty, all the items on sale in the books did not exceed this difficulty.
There are only a few epic level items in the Book of Trade. He scrolled through all the top-tier items, and he only saw three Epic+ level items.
Compared to the value of an Epic level weapon worth tens of thousands of spiritual essence, there were only two pieces of Epic+ level armor in the Book of Trade, one sold for three hundred and eighty thousand and another for four hundred and fifty thousand.
The sword named ’Sword of Victory and Oath (Replica)’ of Epic+ level was hung with a price of a series of 9’s, only 1 spiritual essence away from a million...
"Who do they think they are... Selling so expensively, which apostle of the fourth difficulty can afford it?"
Lin Xun grumbled while looking for arrows for the Valkyrie.
Most of the equipment he had was Epic level, having two pieces of Epic+ level weapon or armor wouldn’t bring a qualitative improvement.
It would be better to buy some powerful arrows for the Valkyrie with the spiritual essence, which could bring a greater enhancement.
Lin Xun had plenty of savings, so he directly search for the arrows by descending order of price, only interested in the most expensive and powerful arrows.
After looking at the arrow at the top, he directly closed the sales channel.
"Who are they looking down on... Does a 29,900 spiritual essence arrow match the Valkyrie?"
He switched to the auction channel and continued to search for arrows.
There are not many arrows for sale in the auction channel, with differing prices.
Suddenly, one arrow caught his eye.
[Arrow of Slaying the Dragon (Epic-level arrow): An average thick arrow with spots of blood, the arrowhead not sharp but rather blunt. This seemingly ordinary arrow has slain numerous dragons, deeply stained with dragon blood.]
