125: Chapter 125 Refugee Road Signs and the Mirror of Replication

Lin Tian read the introduction word by word, his pupils contracted slightly, and then the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curled into a somewhat strange arc.

"Good grief... Once the novice protection period on the Eternal Continent ends, it immediately switches to 'Battle Royale' mode? This is encouraging lords to follow the 'network cable' to engage in real-life PK..."

He could almost foresee what kind of bloody storm this item would stir up among the already fragile lords once it spread.

Those who had formed grudges in the channel, those who coveted others' resources, those who simply wanted to plunder for development...

With this thing, malice could be directly transformed into blades!

"Fortunately..."

Lin Tian weighed the heavy attack order token in his hand, his eyes becoming confident.

"With my territory, let alone others attacking, I'm actually hoping some blind fool will come knocking to serve as an experience pack and a transport captain."

In his mind, the "Legendary Black Dragon Lord" who had once bragged in the regional channel and wanted to get something for nothing flashed instantly.

That guy seemed extremely arrogant about his own "Legendary unit".

"Heh, Black Dragon Lord, is it?" Lin Tian sneered, carefully putting away the three attack order tokens.

"It's best not to provoke me. If he really dares to use this thing to teleport over... my fifty thousand brothers, and the bow in Lin Yin's hand, are not to be trifled with."

Calming his emotions, he looked at the second ball of light.

This ball of light was a warm, earthy yellow, the size of a watermelon; its light was soft, emanating a sense of "vitality" and "convergence" that belonged to the earth and the people, making one feel at ease.

He touched it, and the light dissipated.

Appearing were three palm-sized, ancient-looking brass drifter signpost models, engraved with crooked yet seemingly directional runes.

[Item: drifter signpost]

[Type]: Special Territory Buff Item (Effective after placement)

[Quantity]: 3

[Effect]: After being placed at a suitable location within the territory, this signpost will continuously emit a faint aura of "guidance" and "shelter". Within the effective range, it will irregularly attract drifters displaced by war and disaster from all over the continent to seek refuge. The quantity, quality (covering various talents such as farmers, craftsmen, scholars, down-and-out warriors, etc.), and frequency of the attracted drifters are positively correlated with the territory's current prosperity, prestige, and security level. It can slightly increase the territory's popularity and attractiveness.

[Description]: Population is the cornerstone of civilization. In the tide of destruction, there are always some lucky seeds longing to find new soil. It cannot bring immediate combat power, but it may bring you unexpected craftsmen, scholars, and even... hidden gems with special talents.

"drifter signpost... attracting population, supplementing various talents..."

Lin Tian nodded; this reward was very practical. Although it was not as impactful as the attack order token, its strength lay in its long-term benefits, capable of fundamentally perfecting the territory's social structure and improving the territory's lacking logistics.

"Get some drifters; farmers, blacksmiths, doctors, teachers... all are needed. A healthy territory cannot rely solely on soldiers."

Carefully putting away the three signpost models, his gaze finally turned intensely toward the third, and most special, ball of light.

This ball of light, only the size of an egg, constantly changed with iridescent colors, as if a miniature rainbow had been imprisoned within it.

It did not emit any powerful energy fluctuations; instead, it had a profoundness that was restrained to the extreme, as if it contained some kind of rule that touched upon the essence.

Lin Tian took a deep breath, held his breath, and touched it gently.

The seven-colored radiance swirled and quickly retracted.

Finally, it condensed in his palm into a palm-sized, ancient-looking small mirror, with a special material, its frame engraved with countless replication runes so fine they were hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and a mirror surface as smooth as the deepest night sky.

[Item: mirror of replication]

[Type]: Special Rule-type Item (Energy-driven)

[Effect]: By aiming the mirror surface at any inanimate, non-unique, non-mythical quality entity or energy condensate (such as spirit crystals, elemental crystals, etc.) and consuming the corresponding spirit crystals, a completely identical replica can be generated. The replica is identical to the original in attributes and effects, with no usage count or time limit.

[Consumption]: The amount of spirit crystals required for replication is directly related to the quality, rarity, energy content, and rule complexity of the replicated item, and increases geometrically. Replicating ordinary items consumes very little, while replicating high-tier equipment, rare materials, special buildings, etc., consumes an extremely terrifying amount.

[Restrictions]: Cannot replicate living beings, soul-bound items, rule-unique items, or entities that reach or exceed mythical quality.

[Description]: A creation left behind by an ancient being who touched the authority of "replication", containing a faint but certain paradoxical power of "creation". It cannot create something from nothing, but it can make "something" become "more". It is an artifact that can make wealth pile up like a mountain, and also an abyss that can deplete resources in an instant. Use with caution; your spirit crystal reserves may not withstand its "greed".

"mirror of replication... any inanimate, non-mythical quality item... can be replicated?"

The moment he finished reading the description, Lin Tian felt a rush of blood surge to his head, his breathing became heavy, and his heart pounded "thump-thump-thump," as if it wanted to break free from the constraints of his chest!

His hands even trembled slightly with excitement. This small mirror looked unremarkable, but the effect described was simply heaven-defying!

"Offensive epic equipment? Replicate! One for everyone!"

"High-level scrolls for saving one's life? Replicate! Use them like toilet paper!"

"gold crystal, wood crystal stone, space crystal, earth crystal... all elemental crystals? Replicate! As many as I want!"

Countless possibilities bloomed wildly in his mind like exploding fireworks!

If this mirror is used well, it's practically a bug-level artifact!

It can infinitely amplify his resource advantage, equipment advantage, and even the advantage of his Fusion Evolution talent!

"However... consume corresponding spirit crystals, and the consumption amount increases geometrically with the item's quality..."

After the ecstasy, Lin Tian quickly calmed down and grasped the key limiting conditions.

"'Consumption is slightly large'? The system description is really quite euphemistic. Replicating a gold-grade crystal probably eats up a lot of spirit crystals, right? Replicating a powerful piece of equipment, I'm afraid..."

He immediately realized that although this mirror was strong, it was also an out-of-hand "spirit crystal gold-swallowing beast".

With his current "huge wealth" of ten million Low-grade Spirit Crystal and twenty thousand mid-level spirit crystal, he probably couldn't replicate too many truly top-tier good things.

"As for below mythical quality... I haven't even seen the shadow of legendary equipment, and mythical is even further out of reach, so this restriction can be ignored for now."
