11: Radiant Holy Set

Awakened Ones undergo a class change every 30 levels, and once successful, they can enter higher-level maps or dungeons.

Killing monsters there will yield equipment of the corresponding level; this is a consensus among everyone.

However, after reaching Seven Turns, leveling up becomes extremely difficult.

But whether killing BOSSes or doing quests, equipment above level 210 will no longer drop.

This means that after Seven Turns, everyone's equipment attributes are almost the same, and humanity's combat power will be greatly balanced.

This situation continued for decades.

It wasn't until two years later, when a legendary figure from the Eagle Country, wielding a level 240 exclusive weapon, slew an Eight-turn Paladin from India, that other countries suddenly realized.

It turned out that self-made equipment could break through the level 210 equipment cap. During that period, all countries publicly released their research findings on self-made exclusive weapons.

They only hoped that their own countries could produce talents who could quickly advance the exclusive weapon blueprints beyond level 210.

Unfortunately, by then, it was all too late.

Crafting sustainable, upgradeable exclusive weapons not only required extensive design and deduction but also demanded that the exclusive weapon accompany its user from low-level to high-level.

For a country, gathering the necessary materials for an exclusive weapon was easy, but getting someone from level 30 to level 240 was simply not something that could be done in a short time.

That Eagle Country powerhouse, relying on his weapon advantage, virtually swept across the globe.

And now, Lin Ling's rebirth is destined to break this monopoly by the Eagle Country.

In his previous life, he had thoroughly studied the exclusive weapon core data released by the country. After his rebirth, he spent another three years, and with the financial support of the Ya Zi Guild, he finally designed a set of exclusive weapon equipment that could be upgraded continuously starting from level 30.

He did not make this data public at all; the blueprint limit for the Ya Zi Reserve Team could only be upgraded to level 120.

This was Lin Ling's fallback, his retreat route for himself.

Of course, Lin Ling's primary goal right now is still the Novice Tournament dungeon.

After all, that's where he can find the core materials needed to craft his exclusive weapon.

Lin Ling continued to check the items on the ground, and soon, a hint of pleasant surprise flashed in his eyes.

There were quite a few scrolls among the equipment.

Scroll-type items have always been valuable, especially in the early stages; a single magic scroll could easily sell for a six-figure sum.

Among them, magic scrolls and teleportation scrolls are relatively common. Magic scrolls allow for one-time use of magic skills that the user does not possess, while teleportation scrolls can transport the user to a specified or random area.

Lin Ling casually picked up a scroll and opened it, and information about the scroll immediately appeared on the system panel before him.

[Wind Scroll]

[Category: Consumable Buff Item]

[Description: After use, speed increases by 50%, lasts for 2 minutes.]

[Level Requirement: None]

[Special Effect: When used out of combat, high-speed movement will automatically dodge obstacles.]

After reading the scroll's attributes, Lin Ling couldn't help but curl his lips; this kind of buff scroll was the cheapest.

Just then, a red light suddenly flickered on the system panel in front of Lin Ling.

An urgent notice from Xuanfu Base City quickly appeared.

[Urgent Notice: Xuanfu Base City is under attack by an unknown Undead Grand Magus! All personnel below Five-turn, return to the Base City safe zone as quickly as possible!]

Lin Ling: "???"

Where did an Undead Grand Magus come from?

Damn it, they're not talking about me, are they?

Lin Ling's eyelids twitched wildly, but he ignored it and continued rummaging through the equipment.

A strange box suddenly caught his eye.

"A blind box actually dropped?"

Lin Ling picked up the box, a hint of joy appearing on his face.

[Item: Mysterious Box]

[Category: Special Item]

[Description: A box collected by a BOSS, any item may appear inside.]

Lin Ling was no stranger to blind boxes; he had obtained a few in his previous life. These things seemed mysterious but rarely yielded good items.

"Open!"

Lin Ling's thought moved, and the blind box immediately opened, while a system message popped up on the screen in front of him.

[Congratulations! You have obtained: illusionist mask (Legendary)]

[illusionist mask (Legendary): When worn, can change your appearance and hide your information. If the opponent's level does not exceed yours by 100 levels, they will be unable to use Peering Eye to view your information.]

"I actually got a Legendary-grade item, but it's not very useful. It only protects me for the first few dozen levels. As long as I have more than 3 Forbidden Spells, even a Seven Turns boss won't be effective."

Lin Ling said, and started rummaging again. Suddenly, a milky white glow lit up beneath the white equipment at his feet.

This white light instantly pulled his attention back from the illusionist mask.

He reached out and grabbed at the milky white aura, and a staff was immediately pulled out by him.

[Yaoguang Staff (Sacred)]

[Category: Weapon]

[sacred set]

[Level Requirement: 10]

[Durability: 1000 / 1000]

[Magic Damage + 600]

[Strength + 50, Intelligence + 60, Agility + 50, Stamina + 50]

[Health + 2000, Mana + 2000]

[Accuracy + 10%]

[Collect all nine pieces to trigger set effect: Intelligence + 100]

[Collect the full set to gain active skill: Yaoguang Burn, reduces target's health by 5% per second, lasts for 10 seconds.]

[Collect the full set to gain passive: When equipped by a Mage, total Intelligence attribute increases by 20%]

Looking at the equipment attribute page, Lin Ling's breathing quickened.

He originally thought he would at most get a perfect set, but he didn't expect to get a sacred set.

The attributes of the sacred set were leagues ahead of the perfect set.

With this sacred set, any novice could walk unchallenged in the novice zone.

Soon, the entire sacred set was found by Lin Ling.

[Yaoguang Mage Hat (Sacred)]

[Yaoguang Necklace (Sacred)]

[Yaoguang Mage Robe (Sacred)]

[Yaoguang Left Bracer (Sacred)]

[Yaoguang Right Bracer (Sacred)]

[Yaoguang Trousers (Sacred)]

[Yaoguang Ring (Sacred)]

[Yaoguang Mage Boots (Sacred)]

Weapons and accessories primarily added damage, defensive pieces primarily added defense, and other attributes were almost identical for each piece of equipment.

When Lin Ling put on all the equipment, the milky white aura on his body receded a bit again. If one didn't look closely, it was as if he was truly wearing a set of glowing white equipment.

Lin Ling recovered from his ecstasy and immediately called up his attribute panel.

[Name: Lin Ling]

[Combat Class: Full-Time Mage]

[Level: 10 (99.99%)]

[Health: 6500, Mana: 21660]

[Physical Damage: 3200, Magic Damage: 6940]

[Defense: 2950, Speed: 80 yards]

[Stamina: 650]

[Strength: 640]

[Intelligence: 1188]

[Agility: 800]

[Accuracy: 90%]

[Available Attribute Points: 40]

Looking at his attributes, Lin Ling was completely stunned.

Every time a Professional levels up, in addition to gaining 4 free attribute points, all attributes automatically increase by 10 attribute points.

Moreover, depending on the class, corresponding specialized attributes will receive additional increases.

But even so, the average attributes at level 10 rarely exceeded 300.

Even some high-talent warriors whose stamina converted to health at a 1:20 ratio, if a level 10 warrior's health reached 4000, it was already top-tier, while Lin Ling's health reached 6500 with the sacred set's buff.

This health was already comparable to a level 30 warrior with no equipment.

His physical damage reached 3200, while the strongest Assassins and Archers at level 10 had a maximum physical damage close to 1000.

His magic damage was even close to 7000. If he wasn't wearing equipment, at level 10 he would only have 280 Intelligence and magic damage of merely 1400.

The sacred set directly brought 5540 magic damage. Even without Forbidden Spells, he was absolutely off to a perfect start right now.

Lin Ling's mana, with the set's buff, even exceeded 20,000. Of course, this was still a long way from the 1,000,000 mana needed to cast Forbidden Spells.

"I have Forbidden Spell magic, and what I lack most now is mana. When my mana stacks to over one million, I'll truly become a Forbidden Spell Mage."

Lin Ling thought to himself and immediately added all 40 attribute points to Intelligence.

Just then.

A black triangular fighter jet suddenly swept across the distant sky, seemingly searching for something.

Lin Ling's expression changed slightly, and he quickly gathered the equipment on the ground.

PS: Let me explain the attribute settings. 1 Strength = 5 Physical Damage; 1 Intelligence = 5 Magic Damage + 5 Mana; 1 Stamina = 5 Health + 5 Defense (Warrior 1:10); 100 Agility = ? Speed. I will basically calculate the values according to the equipment. If there are any mistakes, please don't mind too much. As long as you can understand it and enjoy reading it, that's enough.
