Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Illusory Spirit Feather Boots! (1/5)_1 The second yellow Skill Book was a Level 20 Passive skill book for stealth-type professions. It could greatly increase damage dealt from an enemy’s back. For stealth-type professions, sneaking up behind others was relatively simple, so this Passive skill was highly practical. None of these four items are useful to me. After examining the two pieces of equipment and two Skill Books, Chen Mo was somewhat speechless. However, given the wide range of professions, the chance of getting four items he could use was slim. On the other hand, items generally had no Level restrictions. Chen Mo immediately turned his attention to the two Rare Grade items dropped by the BOSS. [Delicious Fruit • Rare Grade] [Item Effects]: Feeding it to a pet increases its growth value by 10 points. [Item Introduction]: A special fruit loved by all pets, rich in nutrients, with a delicious aroma that pets can’t resist. Pets, huh. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to raise one when I have the chance. Pets were crucial combat assets for professionals. After the third-transition, one could learn the soul-contract skill. After entering a soul-contract with a pet, one could gain the blessing of the stars equivalent to the pet’s star level. This meant that if one had sixteen stars after the third-transition and their pet had five stars, they would have a total of twenty-one stars. As mentioned before, upon achieving more than five stars, the corresponding attribute points per star changed from 5 to 10 during an upgrade: 15 points for eleven stars, 20 points for sixteen stars, and 25 points for twenty-one stars, and so on. In other words, with sixteen stars, one could gain 16 x 20 = 320 freely assignable attribute points per Level. With twenty-one stars, each Level granted 21 x 25 = a whopping 525 freely assignable attribute points. The difference was obviously substantial. Therefore, after the third-transition, there was a marked difference between professionals who had a good pet and those who did not. Of course, while a pet’s key role only came into play after the third-transition, its star level also increased step by step, like that of a professional, and breaking through each growth phase required substantial resources. This progression required an increase in the growth value, a process that was very time-consuming, leading some people to start raising pets early. If one was financially well-off, they could help their pets grow by constantly feeding them items that increased their growth. However, breaking through each growth stage required not only growth value but also other items to assist in increasing the pet’s rank. This delicious fruit was currently in high demand, and its supply was low, so the selling price was quite attractive. Chen Mo hadn’t looked into the specific selling price yet, so for the moment, he just tucked the item away and turned his attention to the next one. [Castle invitation • Rare Grade] [Item Effect]: Welcome to the Dark Night Duke’s Castle. Possessing this item allows entry into the special dungeon, Dark Night Duke’s Castle. [Item Introduction]: Reportedly, the Dark Night Duke specially issued this invitation for honored guests to visit his castle and view the Blood Clan’s treasures. But bear in mind, it’s no ordinary place, so you should think twice before you enter. A special dungeon invitation. I believe this dungeon drops the Blood Clan’s Suit. Special dungeon invitations were usually associated with dungeons that dropped special set equipment, unlike the regular equipment set Fang Datong had worn. Special set equipment dropped in special dungeons was untradeable, so those wanting to collect these sets had to grind through these dungeons on their own. If they failed, it was as good as wasting an invitation. So there was a great demand for invitations. Moreover, acquiring a full set at Level 5 didn’t mean one wouldn’t need more upon reaching Level 10. To upgrade the set to the new Level, one had to re-enter the dungeon. This was entirely different from upgrading normal equipment using Equipment Upgrade Stones. One could freely choose the challenge Level each time they opened a special dungeon. Generally, the Level jumped every 5 Levels. The Blood Clan’s Suit offered a high recovery effect and a substantial boost to Health. It was quite popular among professionals who could both deal and take damage. Unfortunately, Castle invitations were somewhat rare and not something the average person could easily obtain. Despite being envious of the set effects, they could only look on with envy. The selling price for this kind of invitation was pretty good. The Blood Clan’s Suit isn’t much use to me. I’ll probably sell it. After looking at the content of the invitation, Chen Mo put it away. What he was most interested in came next. An SS level Gift Pack and an SSS-level Gift Pack. Chen Mo was eager to see what they would produce. He opened the SS level Gift Pack first. Naturally, he decided to save the best for last—the SSS-level Gift Pack. As Chen Mo opened the Gift Pack, The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded in sync. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You are opening an SS level Gift Pack. You have a chance to get dark-gold grade equipment, black Skill Books, or Legendary items. Please choose an opening method.] [Method One: Unbound Opening. Rewards obtained after opening are non-binding and can be freely traded, but Level restrictions are unknown. Profession restrictions are unknown. Attributes are equivalent to normal drops.] [Method Two: Bound Opening. Rewards obtained after opening are binding and cannot be freely traded, but they will definitely fit your current Level and profession applicability. Attributes may vary.] There’s an option to choose the opening method? Chen Mo fell into deep thought. Choosing the first method was akin to making a fortune all at once. After all, such high-grade items had incredible value. On the other hand, choosing the second method could potentially give him some useful help and further improve his strength. Especially since SS level treasures were very rare. After careful thought, Chen Mo decided to choose the second method. His current strength was not weak, and money could be made sooner or later. By selling off the unused items he currently possessed, he could amass enough funds for Yiyi to stop working so hard, though it wouldn’t be enough for her to live a luxurious life instantly. However, there was no rush. For now, it was important to let Sister Yiyi stop working and take a good rest. He could always earn more money later to improve her standard of living as a way of repaying her. Treasures of the SS level were really hard to come by; not every encounter with a powerful BOSS could be dealt with so easily. Following Chen Mo’s decision, The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded again. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have successfully opened the SS level Gift Pack. Congratulations on obtaining the bound equipment ’Illusory Spirit Feather Boots • dark-gold grade’!] [Illusory Spirit Feather Boots • dark-gold grade] [Profession Restriction]: None [Equipment Requirement]: None [Attributes]: Increases movement speed by 200%, Dodge rate by 50% [Equipment Special Effects]: Illusion, Feather Flight [Illusion]: You can transform your entire body or deploy a barrier to conceal your true appearance.
