Chapter 473: Chapter 259 Extreme Evil Erosion, The Hidden Plot of Tianming Divine Palace_1
The amount of rewards inside the treasure chest was making Lin Xun’s head dizzy.
His first reaction was that this was utterly impossible - if this wasn’t a game glitch, then it must be a trap set up by the underworld game.
But no anomalies appeared late, and with a suspicious mind, he opened his inventory, which was piled up with newly obtained rewards.
Most of the rewards were materials, valuable casting materials that could be used to craft charms or set up barriers.
If this wasn’t a trap, he reckoned he wouldn’t have to worry about lacking charm materials for a long time.
Rough calculation suggested that the combined value of the materials in the chest reached almost a million spirit essence.
And this doesn’t even include the value of other item rewards.
"It feels weird that this underworld game is suddenly playing nice..."
It wasn’t that Lin Xun was a masochist. After being tormented in the underworld game for a while, this kind of thinking was normal.
He continued checking the remaining item rewards.
[’Guangya Pearl’*2 (Item): A magical pearl with healing power formed by numerous tiny Guangya crystals. Can be used for permanent enchantment on Epic and Legendary gears to enhance their healing bonus, usage requires relevant forging skills. ]
Lin Xun’s healing weapon was of poor quality, using such high-level enchantment gemstones seemed somewhat wasteful.
He could go to the library later to find a high-quality healing weapon and use ’Guangya Pearl’ to enhance the healing amount.
[’Red Blooded Coral’*2 (Item): A rare red coral from the Eastern Sea area, resembles tree branches, and is sturdy. After being blessed by the magical rituals of the Vermillion State’s Fire Worshiping cult, it has magical effects. For the devout believers of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’, this item can relieve some fatigue.]
Items for fatigue recovery in the underworld game are rare, and 99% of them have restrictions, that require related Shells to use.
This ’Red Blooded Coral’ was no exception, and only Shells with the ’Fire Worshiping’ prefix could use it.
Both of the healing Shells in his inventory were mana guzzlers, having two small blue potions would definitely relieve his desperate situation.
[’Picture of Playing Flute on Horseback’ (Treasure): An exquisite and antique painting from Vermillion State depicting a scene where a barbarian was playing flute under an ancient pine tree. Selling this item to a merchant will earn a lot of spirit essence. You can also give this item to a character in this scroll plot, which can greatly increase their level of favor towards you.]
"Treasure..."
This was the first time Lin Xun encountered a treasure-class item.
He had an item named ’Painting of Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl’ in his inventory that can be sold to a merchant for some spirit essence.
Not only can treasures be sold for money, but they also have an additional function of increasing favorability.
"If the favorability is raised to the peak, will a marriage and child-rearing system be unlocked?"
Lin Xun silently scoffed, and turned his attention to the last item.
[’Life Soul Bead of Sly Ghost’ (Special Item): A hereditary magical artifact from the Sly Ghost clan, possessed by the clan leader, which contains various demonic spells and combat experiences. Whenever a generation of clan leaders dies, this artifact is passed down to the next clan leader. Only those with the ’Sly Ghost’ lineage can smoothly use this item, learning the demonic spells and combat experiences within.]
Lin Xun knitted his eyebrows, this item didn’t seem to be useful to him at all... wait!
He suddenly remembered that he still had a young Sly Ghost locked up in the Dharma Temple.
"This is a Pokémon passerby!"
Lin Xun’s mind spun rapidly, and he already had a countermeasure in his heart.
Although he had killed its grandpa, it didn’t seem to hinder him from making the young Sly Ghost his Shikigami as well...
[While you’re busy checking your spoils, you suddenly hear a loud noise from outside the stone chamber, sounding like some mechanism turning...]
[You quickly leave the stone chamber, seeing dust and smoke rolling from collapsing stones from the walls on both sides of the mountain belly.]
[You thought it was an earthquake, and hurried to escape this place, only to find that the rumbling sound suddenly stopped and the cliff no longer moved.]
[When the dust and smoke settled, two colossal items had appeared on both sides of the mountain belly.]
[You look up, only to see two giant god statues, a male on the left and a female on the right, identical to the ’High Divine Spirit Command’ and ’Kami Musuhi’ that you saw in the main shrine.]
[The only difference was the gestures of the god statues, no longer standing majestically, but reaching out to the sky in despair and struggle...]
[Even though the faces of the god statues were vague, you could clearly feel that endless despair and pain.]
[You extended your hand unknowingly, imitating their gestures...]
[Malice sprouted and spread through your heart, deep despair and fear enveloped you...]
[You were corroded by an inexplicable force!]
[You’ve been tainted with the ’Extreme Evil Erosion’ status!]
[Under this status, all attributes of your Shell are reduced by 50%]
[At present, you can’t remove this negative effect, the ’Extreme Evil Erosion’ status will accompany you until the end of this Chapter!]
???
"Dammit! I knew something was fishy when the underworld game suddenly gave out a big gift!"
Lin Xun’s temple was throbbing, and he clenched his fists, just wanting to wrestle with the underworld game.
A 50% reduction in all attributes was not as simple as a 50% reduction in strength.
Although the underworld game didn’t show specific attributes in the panel, according to many Apostles’ tests on the forum, The Shell’s attributes include strength, constitution, stamina, agility, intelligence, energy, charm, luck, etc.
The negative effect caused by a reduction of all attributes by half was equivalent to a plummet in strength several times over.
