My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 147: Equipment, Talents, Materials, and Items
[Rare Quality Mother Crystal x4, Epic Quality Life Spirit Crystal x1.]
Li Rui was surprised to find that he could actually extract these enhancement materials from the box.
The puppet administrator’s head was buzzing, even he didn’t know those things were actually enhancement materials.
"Ahem, please confirm your rewards on your own."
He contemplated that the employee manual didn’t say what should be done in such a situation, so he pretended not to see it.
Li Rui, of course, wasn’t polite with him, raised his hand and opened the box, only to see that it didn’t contain items, but spheres of light.
Curious, he reached out to touch the purple sphere on the far left.
Three options, each an epic piece of equipment.
[Equipment: Gladiator Boots, Gladiator Arm Guards, Gladiator Amulet.]
Products of the arena, each comes with aggressive keywords.
Li Rui pondered for a bit and chose the boots.
Because he already owned the epic sharp arm guards given by Kong Ji as a reward, one amulet reduces spiritual power consumption, while the other is a lifeline artifact, Zhenyue’s token, both are hard to replace.
[Gladiator Boots]
[Item Level: 25.]
[Quality: Epic]
[Attributes: Defense +13, Constitution +4, Spirit +4.]
[Special Effect 1: Physical Attack Increase by 8%.]
[Special Effect 2: Reduces stamina consumption by 10% when running.]
[Eternal: Yes.]
Besides gloves and arm guards, most armor doesn’t provide aggressive keywords, but these boots directly increase physical attack by 8%, making them rare and collectible equipment.
In contrast, Li Rui certainly hopes other armor can offer more aggressive keywords since the administrator’s coat has already provided enough defensive capabilities.
With this equipment, all attack boosts further increased: Thunder Attribute Attack +15%, Fist and Palm Class Attack +5%, Physical Attack +13%.
Now, the only white slots left are a ring and a neck necklace, and Li Rui plans to fill these two spots and start improving their quality, first eliminating the green excellent ones, then replacing blue rare ones, to achieve a full set of purple gear.
After taking the equipment, the sphere of light hadn’t disappeared, and a new prompt appeared before his eyes.
[Epic Talent - Battle Scarred]
[Effect: Based on the proportion of stamina and spiritual power consumed, your total damage increases up to 70%.]
[Eternal: Yes.]
A talent that directly provides battle boosts!
Li Rui couldn’t help but be stunned for several seconds before coming back to his senses, this is too good!
He suddenly remembered that he still had a talent quality enhancement ticket, so he took it out and applied it directly.
[Legendary Talent - Battle Scarred]
[Effect: Based on the proportion of stamina and spiritual power consumed, your total damage increases up to 120%.]
[Eternal: Yes.]
After Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, Li Rui acquired his second legendary level ability.
Theoretically, as the battle progresses, his damage will keep increasing, and this isn’t like a berserker’s talent that requires injury for enhancement, it’s an automatic increase as long as the battle starts, since stamina and spiritual power are bound to be consumed.
Later, if before being exhausted, he uses a Thunder Shocking Earth, with talent boosting over 100%, and after a critical strike, the damage would skyrocket.
He rubbed his hands together and looked at the next light sphere, which was also purple, but this time it wasn’t selectable, instead, there were numerous enhancement materials.
Epic Quality Spirit River Water x2, seven rare quality materials, and a large heap of white and green materials.
After the materials, consumables appeared, including various potions, but the most attention-grabbing were definitely high-quality tools.
[Xuanwu Shell.]
[Effect: Generates an impenetrable shell around to block any attack, lasting 5 minutes. The shell cannot move after generation. Cooldown time 12 hours.]
[Usage Times: 3/3.]
[Eternal: No.]
This is also a life-saving tool, a causal weapon, blocking all attacks, obviously the drawback is that it cannot move, but at crucial moments it can be used to buy time, or when severely injured, dive in directly to disengage, apply various potions, and come out ready to fight again, almost like a manual pause version of Everlasting Vitality, basically providing half an extra life.
The next light sphere, still purple.
[Skill Points x3, Free Attribute Points x33.]
Simple but effective.
Three skill points are enough to level both Hidden Dragon’s Head and Mist Control to lv3, and still save an extra point, not to mention the attribute points.
Finally, the large white light sphere is experience.
Li Rui took a deep breath and touched it with both hands.
[Experience +521310.]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
Good news: Leveled up three times in a row.
Bad news: 690 experience points short of reaching level 26.
Clearly, the arena offers great rewards in terms of equipment, items, talents, and materials; they are of high rarity and greatly enhance combat.
However, in comparison, the experience points are definitely not abundant.
The administrator patiently waited for everyone to claim their rewards and said, "Congratulations to everyone for winning in the brutal arena. The rewards after your hard-fought battles are even more...."
He stopped halfway because something felt strange to him.
Why did the contestants in the last four places all look happy, while the first place stared at me as if deeply offended?
He even thought he saw a hint of murderous intent in the gaze of the fair-looking person.
Li Rui was indeed pondering whether he could gain experience if he took down this administrator.
The puppet had evidently long prepared for this person’s style, so he sped up his speech.
"...joyfully thank all of you for participating, the Central Ruins Arena is always open for you. Until we meet again. Oh, and this is in recognition of your achievement for not dying once and winning."
Snap.
With a snap of his fingers, he was pulled into the air by several lines and vanished from this space, leaving a small cloth bag that fell into Li Rui’s hand.
He had scared off the arena administrator.
As the puppet left, the countdown began, and Li Rui, under the astonished eyes of the other four, opened the cloth bag to find a golden light orb.
[Talent Quality Upgrade Ticket x1.]
"Huh? Just used one, and here’s another."
"But there’s a reward for not dying even once? Why didn’t the guide mention it? Oh, because no one survives without dying even once, right?"
Li Rui muttered to himself as he was transported out of the Secret Realm.
....
In the dim underground sanctuary, beneath the statue of the Holy Mother Ignis, the long unconscious Demon Witch suddenly opened her eyes on the cushion.
"Thank you, Holy Mother!"
The Priest, originally guiding the followers, shouted loudly, "The loyal servant has returned to the mortal realm, and his Divine Power has risen again, we....."
He paused midway because Zago didn’t look well.
"We will continue to grow under the guidance of the Holy Mother, spreading the gospel across the world!"
There was supposed to be a lot of brainwashing rhetoric, but he discarded it all, dismissively said a few words, and disbanded the congregation, leaving only a small handful of people from this so-called cult who were its leaders.
"What happened to you?"
The cunning light was no longer in Zago’s eyes; he shook his head woodenly: "I failed."
"How could that be? Even the Little Holy Blade or the princess of the Redfield family wouldn’t necessarily win against you!"
"No, it wasn’t because of them."
Despair flickered in Zago’s eyes, "It was a demon."
...
Holy Protection High Court.
The Holy Blade was discussing with the elders the response strategy for the Secret Realm battlefield. As an organization from such a chaotic place, they had to be more cautious than the colossal entities of the world’s three great nations.
However, at this moment, a court staff member wearing a white robe came forward to whisper a few words.
"Everyone, my son has returned from the Central Ruins, may I be excused for a moment to...."
"Luo De, you’re too serious. Luca is a child of all of us, a young man favored by the gods like him is our shared concern. Why not call him over?"
The Holy Blade nodded and asked the staff member who brought the news to bring the Little Holy Blade over.
Then the higher-ups of the entire sanctuary saw a disheartened figure, the young prodigy lost the confidence and pride of the past.
"Luca, what’s wrong?"
Gaspero Rod was troubled by his son’s change, knowing that nothing good must have happened in the Secret Realm.
"Father, am I truly an outstanding Extraordinary?"
The elders of the sanctuary looked at each other, and someone spoke: "Of course, Luca, you’ve always been the best one."
"Not anymore."
Luca Rod shook his head calmly, "Someone beat me 12 times in the arena."
"....."
The entire sanctuary fell silent; they couldn’t imagine 25-level Luca being defeated repeatedly by the same person in a level 25 arena.
...
When Michael woke up, there was only the woman he adored most recently beside him. She leaned lazily against him and asked in a soft voice, "Dear Michael, tell me, did you win?"
All she got in return was a single word.
"Scram."
Like him, Bai Yang of the Bamboo Gang was also feeling irritable. If the first person he saw upon opening his eyes wasn’t his master, he might have erupted instantly, smashing everything in the awakening room to pieces.
On this day, several of the youngest prodigies in the chaotic land found their spirits crushed in the Secret Realm.
The news was so unexpected that it quickly spread within hours.
From then on, this land of constant strife gained a new, feared title: Foggy Evil Ghost.
