33: Possessing a treasure is a crime

Chapter 33: A Treasure Brings Trouble

Lu Ran’s head buzzed and then exploded.

This equipment actually made it onto the global equipment rankings?

Is it that terrifying?

Seeing the prompt inquiry counting down,

Lu Ran quickly asked, “This equipment is on the global equipment rankings. What does it mean to be asked to display personal information?”

“Hide!” Liu Xinxin immediately shouted, “Choose to hide first! Do not display it!”

Lu Ran quickly followed suit.

He could probably understand that if he chose to display it, his personal information would be visible on the equipment rankings!

“An Level 18 Undead Mage with equipment on the global equipment rankings—that’s practically seeking death!” Liu Xinxin patted her chest, saying with lingering fear.

For other high-level experts, the equipment rankings were a place to show off and gain fame.

But for Lu Ran, it was absolutely a death wish!

“The hades' crystal skull’s attributes aren’t particularly great, and the additional 5% Undead skill damage isn’t much either; it’s just because it suits your abilities. For it to make it onto the equipment rankings, it must mean that the other attached passive has an extremely high comprehensive score! What exactly is its effect?” Ye Hongyi analyzed.

Lu Ran immediately shared the passive panel as well.

After a few seconds, Ye Hongyi and the others’ eyes instantly lit up.

“Holy cow, there’s a passive like that?”

“No matter how terrifying the burst damage, it won’t instantly kill Lu Ran; instead, he’ll enter an Yin-Yang Realm state, and his health will even recover when the duration ends!”

“This is simply a life-saving artifact!”

“Ten seconds is enough time for Lu Ran to prepare and endlessly summon creatures.”

“This means that if Lu Ran doesn’t want to die, no one can kill him!”

“Don’t forget, Lu Ran also has the Treasure Gourd I gave him!”

...

The three spoke one after another.

The passive effect was indeed explosive, no wonder it made it onto the equipment rankings.

Not only for Lu Ran, but for any high-level professional, this effect was equivalent to a second life!

“Good stuff, good stuff, haha… This is Heaven protecting our Dragon Xia. As long as Lu Ran doesn’t die, Dragon Xia will eventually suppress the Global!” Lei Tai laughed excitedly.

As the president of the War Flag National Protection Army, Lei Tai’s guild also bore the responsibility of guarding the borders.

The National Guardian Army had fought countless battles against foreign enemies!

No one understood the cruelty of this world better than Lei Tai.

In a digitized world, might makes right. If a nation is not strong, it will be swallowed up by other countries!

This is also why, after the Global digitization, many small countries were either annexed and disappeared, or merged into other countries.

And now, as long as Lu Ran doesn’t die,

Lu Ran alone could make Dragon Xia suppress the Global!

At the same time,

In the dungeon halls of various main cities,

More and more people had discovered the changes in the equipment rankings.

Suddenly, an Epic equipment parachuted into the rankings, occupying such a high position as Level 5!

Its effect also caused a Global sensation!

“Yin-Yang Realm, what an amazing effect!”

“Isn’t this like a second life? No need to fear being instantly killed by an assassination.”

“As expected of a Titan Epic, awesome, awesome, awesome!”

“My goodness, a divine artifact, absolutely a divine artifact!”

“How much would that be worth? Who dropped this?”

...

Everyone’s questions remained unanswered.

Because when they clicked on the ranking details, the owner’s personal information was hidden!

[hades' crystal skull]

[Owner: ?]

[Level: ?]

[Profession: Undead Mage]

[Country: Dragon Xia]

Except for the profession and country, which could not be hidden, the name and level were completely hidden, showing only a question mark.

This directly caused a commotion among various major forces.

For a time, major guilds began to issue bounties, and even the mercenary guild saw countless equipment commissions appear.

The goal was only one: to buy this equipment!

Anything that could make it onto the global equipment rankings was not trash, but no matter how powerful the additional abilities of other equipment, you still needed to be alive to use them!

Relatively speaking, various high-level professionals, and various influential forces or guild leaders, valued their lives more!

After all, there was no resurrection in this world.

And as long as one possessed the hades' crystal skull, it was equivalent to having a second life!

There was no need to worry about being instantly killed by a burst of damage!

How much is a life worth?

Immeasurable!

Moreover, the hades' crystal skull had no profession restrictions; all high-level individuals could equip it!

As for the additional 5% Undead skill damage, it was not important!

In a short time, the commissions for various quests, which were essentially purchase prices, had already soared to tens of billions!

This wasn’t really a commission, but rather various bigshots trying to attract the owner of the equipment to buy it from them!

After all, the other party’s identity was completely hidden, and no one could find them.

And when Lu Ran and the others arrived at the dungeon hall to prepare to clear dungeons, they also saw this scene.

As well as various commission quests flying around.

The price was still climbing, making Lu Ran secretly click his tongue.

It was fortunate that he had hidden his personal information.

Otherwise, an Undead Mage in his teens, carrying such a heaven-defying piece of equipment,

One could imagine what awaited him.

“Let them be. Anyway, since you’ve hidden it, no one can find you. Also, don’t display the appearance of the hades' crystal skull. Just keep its appearance hidden.” Liu Xinxin instructed Lu Ran.

Lu Ran nodded solemnly.

He wouldn’t dare expose this thing even if it killed him!

Lu Ran understood the meaning of “a treasure brings trouble” for the first time so deeply!

“Alright then, let’s continue grinding. Let’s try to get you to Level 20 today. Although it’s quite difficult, we’ll do our best.” Ye Hongyi said.

Then, she traded a large pile of platinum team contracts to Lu Ran to reduce the experience penalty for each dungeon.

However, Qin Wuyao could not continue grinding with them.

Qin Wuyao was not yet Level 15, while Lu Ran was already Level 18.

Lu Ran needed to run Level 15 dungeons, and Qin Wuyao couldn't enter them.

Fortunately, Qin Wuyao didn't mind, as the core of the team was Lu Ran, and Lu Ran’s leveling was the most important.

After she returned, the high-level professionals Qin Lie arranged for her also leveled up quickly.

In the afternoon, Imperial Capital.

Yu Qingcang finished his work and received a notice from above for a meeting.

He rushed over quickly.

He found several blond-haired individuals in the conference room who were not from Dragon Xia.

Besides them, some high-ranking officials from above were already seated.

When Yu Qingcang arrived, one of the blond-haired individuals spoke to Yu Qingcang arrogantly, “You are Yu Qingcang, the president of the Tiandao Alliance?”

His Dragon Xia language wasn’t standard enough, but it was clear he had practiced.

“Yes, how did you enter Dragon Xia territory?” Yu Qingcang asked directly.

All cross-national teleportation points in Dragon Xia had been closed.

All foreign professionals in Dragon Xia had also been repatriated.

What were these people doing here?

“We are members of the Storm Guild. We had an appointment a few days ago.” The blond-haired man immediately said.

“You still haven’t answered my question. How did you get in?” Yu Qingcang said coldly.

At this moment,

Another high-ranking official beside him said, “They entered by applying for special envoy status and obtaining temporary cross-national teleportation authority. Do you remember the trade we proposed after they cleared the Black Dragon Mountain Range?”

Only then did Yu Qingcang remember.

At that time, the guild that achieved the Global first clear of the Black Dragon Mountain Range was Storm, commonly known as Storm, the number one guild in Eagle Nation.

Dragon Xia hoped to acquire several team dungeon equipment from the Black Dragon Mountain Range through purchase or exchange.

They hoped that by obtaining several powerful pieces of equipment, they could play a decisive role in taking down the Black Dragon Mountain Range and obtaining more equipment.

But at that time, the Storm Guild directly refused.

He didn’t expect them to come proactively now.

Yu Qingcang raised an eyebrow, looking playfully at the arrogant and smug Storm Guild members across from him.

Because Dragon Xia no longer needed the Black Dragon team dungeon equipment!
