131: Exchange of Wonderful Items

Lin Ye appraised it.

The effect of this wondrous item was excellent.

It was worthy of such complex runes.

Wall of Lamentation: After use, it can greatly strengthen the surrounding defense.

It had to be said that this was simply too suitable for the current situation.

The Wall of Lamentation could not be used for individual defense; it was too cumbersome, but it was very suitable for defense.

Lin Ye directly chose to exchange it with Gray Mist City.

“Good heavens, your luck is truly amazing,” Qin Hu said, fiddling with the Wall of Lamentation.

“Brat, don’t be so frivolous with treasures,” Qin Long said, snatching the Wall of Lamentation back from Qin Hu.

Then he said to Lin Ye, “The White Mist City treasury has quite a few treasures. The City Lord has approved you to choose a treasure whose value exceeds fifty percent of this one.”

“Alright!” Lin Ye was overjoyed.

He had indeed come at the right time. Was this the Son of Destiny?

Before he had his destiny, Lin Ye’s luck was ordinary.

Hunting mutated beasts and opening boxes also yielded normal results.

After he gained his destiny, all good things came his way.

Passing through layers of guards, Lin Ye arrived at the Gray Mist City treasury.

Qin Long introduced, “The White Mist City treasury doesn’t have many wondrous items right now, only six. You can choose yourself; the introductions are next to them.”

Lin Ye nodded.

He secretly muttered to himself that it should be called Gray Mist City.

He carefully surveyed the six wondrous items.

Excluding the three that weren’t suitable for him, the remaining ones all felt pretty good.

Bai Hu’s Feather: Transforms into a Bai Hu, protects its master, and increases speed.

Black Blood: A strange liquid wondrous item that can percentage-wise corrode the enemy’s defense.

Green Leaf: Percentage-wise increases healing amount.

Without a doubt, the effect of each wondrous item was beyond imagination.

The runes of wondrous items were naturally formed and aligned with the laws, so they were much stronger than runes carved by ordinary people.

And their effects were strange.

Among them, the strangest was undoubtedly Green Leaf.

The shortest introduction revealed the most terrifying effect.

Percentage-wise increasing healing amount was simply the dream wondrous item for all healers.

The specific amount was unclear, but as long as it could increase by thirty percent, it would make people fight tooth and nail for it.

Lin Ye asked Qin Long, and this Green Leaf could actually increase the healing amount of a Star Level by twenty percent and a Gold Level by seventy percent.

Moreover, the Wall of Lamentation was nowhere near enough to exchange for it.

“So why was it brought out? Just for me to look at?” Lin Ye silently wept.

Qin Long said, “This is because the Star Level healing-type powerhouse sent by our Xia Kingdom hasn’t arrived yet, so it’s placed here just in case. You don’t need to think about it.”

Lin Ye could only sigh at the sight of the leaf.

But to say how regrettable it was, it wasn’t actually that regrettable.

After all, he wasn’t a healer.

It was just pure covetousness upon encountering an excellent wondrous item.

Without a doubt, he could only choose between the next two.

Lin Ye chose Black Blood.

Bai Hu’s Feather was not particularly suited for him.

He didn’t lack defense or displacement.

Black Blood could weaken defense, and it was also percentage-based.

It could weaken a Star Level’s defense by twenty percent and below Star Level by forty percent.

It was also quite good.

Choosing this item also came with a price difference compensation, and Lin Ye received dozens of top-grade star stones as compensation.

Leaving the treasury, he returned home.

Lin Ye began to test the effects of Black Blood.

As a unique liquid wondrous item, its method of use was also very unique.

After recognizing its master, by infusing Star Power into the Black Blood, the Black Blood could automatically target enemies, cling to them, and corrode their defense like a maggot attached to bone.

Moreover, it could also produce a substance that had a paralyzing effect.

He tried it on himself, and it was indeed so.

And its stickiness was very strong, comparable to taffy.

“This Black Blood feels bouncy and elastic to the touch; the texture is really good.” Lin Ye squeezed the Black Blood. Although it was called Black Blood, it was more like a slime.

Putting away the Black Blood, Lin Ye made it transform into a bracelet and wore it on his right arm.

Lin Ye took out the one-time wondrous item rewarded by the official.

This was a fruit.

The method of use was not to swallow and digest it.

Instead, after consumption, Star Power was used to activate it in the stomach, and then the runes within the wondrous item would frantically operate.

By relying on resonance, it strengthened the physical body, spirit, and Star Power.

Lin Ye rented a guidance room.

He judged that this wondrous item could not make him break through all at once.

However, during its use, the operation of the wondrous item required a lot of Star Power.

With the Primordial Grade Gas Source Flow, he could continuously activate the effect of the wondrous item.

The reason it was a one-time wondrous item was that once it stopped operating, the runes inside the fruit would collapse.

Lin Ye secretly speculated about a possibility.

Could it be that as long as he continuously supplied Star Power, this wondrous item could work permanently?

At that time, it would no longer be a one-time item, but a permanent one.

And continuous supply was not a problem for Lin Ye.

The Primordial Grade Gas Source Flow could continuously absorb the surrounding Star Power.

As long as the surrounding Star Power was sufficient, he would be a perpetual motion machine.

With anticipation, he swallowed the wondrous item into his stomach.

He activated it with Star Power.

A low-frequency energy wave came from the operating wondrous item.

The cells completely rejoiced in this energy wave, constantly absorbing Star Power and strengthening the physical body and spirit.

Lin Ye even felt that the Star Power was somewhat in short supply.

Fortunately, the Gas Source Flow was powerful enough.

“What’s going on? Why is the Star Power concentration in the guidance room dropping so fast?” The staff outside were a little startled.

What kind of big shot was inside, to be so terrifying?

“Increase Star Power output! We can’t bring shame to our company,” the leader commanded.

...

Fifth day.

Lin Ye had a blast absorbing inside.

But the wondrous item ultimately couldn’t bear the load.

After diligently operating for five days, it collapsed.

Lin Ye felt a bit regretful that he couldn’t realize his dream of permanent operation. What a pity.

He brought up his panel, and in the level column, the progress for Eighth Tier had already reached eighty percent.

The gain in Star Power was secondary; the main thing was the breakthrough in his physical body and spirit.

The specific amount still needed to wait for testing.

After paying for the excessive use of the guidance room, Lin Ye rented a testing ground.

Various testing instruments specifically designed for Star Level.

The instruments were naturally not pure technology, but a comprehensive application of rune equipment and technology.

First, strength.

He activated Muscle Master and unleashed Cannon Fist.

“Boom~”

The data on the testing instrument jumped wildly.

0.1, 0.5, 1.6...

Until it reached 4.

“My current strength is actually four times that of an ordinary Star Level,” Lin Ye was shocked.

When a Star Level breaks through, they undergo an unprecedented transformation, and their base index is one hundred times that of a Ninth Tier.

And now, he was only using Cannon Fist and Muscle Master, and it was already four times that of a Star Level.

This was without using Mind Stream, Dragon Transformation, or his battle armor.

If all were used, it would already be a hundred times that of a Star Level.

Dragon Transformation tripled it, Mind Stream doubled it, and the battle armor quadrupled it.

It was already nearly a hundred times.

Of course, the base value of a Star Level here was their pure strength test without using any means.

So Lin Ye didn’t underestimate Star Level either.
