My Salvation Game Became true?!-Chapter 175 - 171 Blue Rank Silver Scale Battle Armor

Chapter 175 -171: Blue Rank, Silver Scale Battle Armor (Seeking Monthly Pass) Chapter 175 -171: Blue Rank, Silver Scale Battle Armor (Seeking Monthly Pass) Aside from those who failed or did not awaken, everyone was immersed in excitement and joy.

It was not only because the rate of successful awakenings was high but also because… during the entire process, nobody died!

No one was lost, and the afflicted spirits, the confused minds, as long as they quietly recuperated, could all recover. That was no issue.

It was just like having sustained a major injury.

As investigators, who hadn’t been injured before?

With that, it became a world without sorrow.

Recalling the process of awakening, the investigators still found it incredible.

“I always heard that the Awakening Calamity was very dangerous and terrible, like being bitten by numerous Mysterious Evils, feeding the evil with one’s flesh, but today…”

“Are you trying to say that today’s awakening was easy? Isn’t it that the Awakeners’ location in Dong Huang is truly miraculous?”

The investigators were also awakening for the first time.

Past knowledge about awakening was based on hearsay; they had only heard how extremely terrifying it was, but this time… it was not exactly easy, but indeed different from what they had been told.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chang stepped up and asked for details.

An investigator thought for a moment and said, “Let’s talk about the two potions; the first one made the heart incredibly tranquil upon drinking, as if… as if entering a Sage mode.”

“After drinking the second one, it felt like something inside was ignited. I followed the instructions of Dong Huang, guarded my spirit, and quietly waited. After a while, it felt like falling into an abyss…”

“That’s when the awakening begins,” Yang Chang interjected at this point.

The investigator continued, “The subsequent process was somewhat similar to many descriptions by special-grade agents in the bureau. What I saw was a group of Mysterious Evils surrounding me, constantly attacking my rationality. Just when I thought I couldn’t hold on any longer, those mind assaults suddenly weakened.”

The investigator couldn’t explain clearly; after all, during awakening, one had to focus all their effort on sustaining themselves without the luxury of paying attention to anything else.

At this point, other investigators also gathered around, each adding to the conversation.

“My Awakening Calamity involved being continuously attacked by Mysterious Evils, my body almost covered in wounds. But it was also when I thought I was about to die that the force of the attacks suddenly weakened.”

“Mine was different. While I was continuously resisting the mental assaults, a blessing came to my heart. It seemed like I suddenly understood something. After that, I made adjustments, and I faced the Mysterious Evil onslaught in a more advantageous posture.”

“Now that you mention it, I also seemed to have an epiphany at a critical moment, which then turned the tide of danger to safety.”

“It’s like I understood a kind of… indescribable, but truly effective, method against the Mysterious Evil assaults of awakening.”

“It’s like receiving a legacy!”

“No, not just a legacy, it’s as if at the time of our awakening, there were invisible figures in the shadows, silently protecting us.”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

One person stated.

After a careful recollection, the others realized that this description was very apt, with mysterious and profound powers protecting them.

Was this the mystery of the Land of Inheritance?

“It might not only be the Land of Inheritance. Have you noticed, the towering stele at the center is engraved with name after name?”

“I did notice!”

And many of those names were unforgettable at a glance.

Li Ergou, Li Sanniu, Wang Erhei, Chen Gou Dan, and so on.

These names…

Were inscribed in such a place.

Suddenly, Yang Chang said, “Many soldiers have sacrificed their lives at this place.”

The investigators were stunned.

Turning around, through the huge rocks that surrounded it, they could still faintly see a small tip of the towering stele.

They were reminded of those names, flickering through their minds.

The investigators stood in solemn respect.

This was a legacy.

“We will carry the weight of this legacy and continue to move forward,” the investigators said.

The students of Dong Huang, placing their fists over their hearts, also silently swore in their hearts.

…

On the way back, the students had a multitude of thoughts.

The weight of the legacy needed to be constantly remembered, not to be let down.

Yang Chang was filled with immense respect and also wildly excited because this awakening gave him hope.

As a high-ranking official in the investigative bureau, he had access to data that other investigators did not—the data coming from every branch throughout Huang Country.

Two concerns were most troubling.

The first was the increasingly large number of Mysterious Evils.

The second was the high, cruel rate of awakening failures!

Ordinary investigators only knew that the process was dangerous, but in Yang Chang’s eyes, there were names, names of those who failed to awaken and died or turned into Mysterious Evils!

It was deeply shocking!

Among them were familiar names, those of the outstanding, the powerful, and even like him, formerly high up in the bureau with a high ranking in the training sequence.

But they died under the Awakening Calamity.

To die fighting against the Mysterious Evils, valiantly resisting the tide of Mysterious Evil, that was heroic. They, the investigators, were neither afraid nor daunted.

But if they were to die under the Awakening Calamity, it would be too frustrating, too aggrieving!

And even, there was some fear.

Not fear of personal failure, but… what if one day the leaders like Tang, Huang, and Captain Luo Sha, the pillars of Dong Huang, were to fail in their awakening?

He trusted Director Huang and the others, but he was even more aware of the dangers of Awakening.

No one dared to claim that they could grasp it with absolute certainty, and should they fail, death was the consequence they had to face.

Director Huang might not fear it, but his subordinates like Yang Chang were somewhat afraid.

The Investigation Bureau of Dong Huang Country couldn’t afford to lose them.

Now, Yang Chang saw a glimmer of hope.

“Director Tang is said to have withstood three Awakenings, while Director Huang has already shown signs of impending Awakening. The day of Awakening is approaching fast… under any circumstances, we must persuade Director Huang to perform his Awakening here,” he said.

“And the other investigators, the special-grade investigators… there are quite a few special-grade who have shown multiple signs of Awakening, but it was the lack of certainty that led them to purify and rid themselves of parts of the Mysterious within them. And now…”

“Compared to training the interns, this Awakening Ceremony is of greater importance!”

“Moving forward, we need to have a detailed discussion with the higher-ups of the Torch of Inheritance.”

But that was Director Huang’s job, as his rank wasn’t high enough.

What Yang Chang was most concerned about was the cost of Torch’s Awakening Ceremony—not how much the Investigation Bureau had to pay, but the extent to which the effects of this Land of Awakening could support multiple people, and what the operational costs would be.

He was worried that Torch would charge too little, having given a discount to their bureau for intern exchange.

In reality, the cost of holding such a ceremony was immense.

Given Torch’s selflessness, this possibility was not nonexistent and was quite significant.

The mystical and magical nature of the Land of Awakening wasn’t something that seemed likely to be run on simplicity alone.

In places unseen, there might be a great cost.

Yang Chang thought, “Anyway, I need to go back to the bureau, report the situation to Director Huang, and take a few investigators with me to have the bureau evaluate the results.”

“Just four days of exchange and learning seemed a bit short, as the initial plan was to return after ten days to half a month, but…”

Seeing the investigators’ visible progress, he felt the four days of training weren’t short at all.

They would definitely amaze the bureau.

Those who opposed internships at Torch, deeming the expense unworthy, would definitely…not be able to say another word against it.

…

Land of Inheritance.

Fang You was checking the information of the Land of Inheritance. Following the Awakening of sixty-five people, the benefits of ‘First-time Awakening’ had increased slightly, and it was close to being perfected—reaching its upper limit.

There was definitely an upper limit.

No matter how high the amplification of the Land of Inheritance was, it couldn’t guarantee absolute safety.

Its main advantage was that the guidance for Awakening could be stacked with the Land of Inheritance.

“The success rate of Awakening is good, but the chance of initiating Awakening is a bit low,” he lamented.

“Out of eighty-eight people, eighteen couldn’t initiate Awakening… even with the Land of Inheritance’s boosts significantly enhancing the effects of the Mysterious boiling potion.”

“Otherwise, it’s estimated that even having half of them initiate Awakening would be a lot.”

“This boiling potion is really subpar.”

All he wanted to do was give it a poor review.

Little did others realize that even a fifty percent chance to initiate Awakening was very high! A 100% rate of initiating Awakening? Unless one sided with the Evil God.

“But at least, this time no one died, confirming that this path is viable. The preliminary standard for Awakening is pretty much set and needs no adjustment,” he concluded.

“Next, we need to formulate standards for the second and third Awakenings.”

“We also need to use the guidance of the Junior Apostles to raise the benefits of second and third Awakenings as quickly as possible.”

With Qingmu and Tree Demons here, there was hardly any need for guards.

Fang You left a few people familiar with the affairs of the place and returned to the Secret Realm.

Upon arriving back at the Secret Realm base, Xiao Huan brought him yet another piece of good news.

“Master Wang Chui has completed the crafting of high-grade combat suits,” she reported.

“Combat suits?”

He thought for a while before remembering that he had previously, on purpose, used his ‘Ghastly Realm Guidance’ ability to find several blue-tier Strange Implements and instructed Wang Chui to craft them into suitable Strange Implement armor.

He couldn’t be blamed for his poor memory.

It might have been just a few days in reality, but for him, it was over a month, with so many things happening in between that he had pushed to the back of his mind.

Luckily, Xiao Huan was there to record and handle various matters for him.

He went to the Forging Workshop where Wang Chui, informed in advance by Xiao Huan, was happily awaiting him, pointing to his newly forged masterpiece with pride.

“Old Wang has certainly not failed this significant task, Master, please take a look,” he beamed.

“I named this Strange Implement ‘Silver Scale Battlearmor.’ Its main material is ‘Silver Scale Heart Armor,’ with additional integration of various precious Mysterious materials… not only have I greatly reduced the side effects, but it also possesses remarkable amplifying abilities.”

What lay before him was a suit of armor, seemingly composed of thousands of tiny scales. On touch, it was not hard but surprisingly soft and silky.

In the chest area of the armor, there was also a red Crystal Stone embedded, diffusing a faint red glow.

‘Silver Scale Battlearmor (Blue)’

‘Type: Strange Implement’

‘Ability One: The Silver Scale Battlearmor provides strong protective abilities, shielding the wearer from physical impacts, Spell assaults, and bites from Mysterious Evils while being self-repairing.’

‘Ability Two: Infused with precious materials, the Silver Scale Battlearmor offers a special amplifying ability. When the power core on the chest is activated, it significantly enhances the wearer’s strength, speed… this amplification lasts for a short duration.’

‘Side effect: The Silver Scale Battlearmor requires periodic feeding of a small amount of blood, but it doesn’t need to be the wearer’s blood.’

To have two abilities for a blue-tier item!

No wonder Master Wang Chui dedicated many days to it and is bald… no wonder Master Wang Chui has a foresight, no need to go bald again.

He took away six impressively strong-looking Silver Scale Battlearmors, ready to test just how powerful they really were.
