Volume 1 The Beginning of the White Capital Chapter 90 The Molten Ring
These three items were the prizes that Chen Yuan picked out after hesitating among countless rewards.
'Life Executioner' cost 800 points, 'Steel: Ancient Essence' cost 500 points, and 'Lava Core Elixir' (Broken) cost 300 points, just enough to spend all the 1,600 points on hand.
I have to say, this is very much in line with the style of an obsessive-compulsive person.
With the exception of 'Steel: Ancient Essence', which is the top potion in the Strange Realm, both 'Life Executioner' and 'Lava Core Elixir' (Broken) can only be of the lower to average quality in the section they are in.
The 'Life Executioner' axe has a price tag of 800 points for Legendary Equipment, which is only slightly higher than the 'value' of a small number of Special Rare Equipment in the same division.
According to common sense, the equipment at the bottom of this legendary rank is often either defective or spicy in the attribute, but on the contrary, the attribute of this axe is still very good in Chen Yuan's eyes, and the strength is moderate and the gain is not low. As for why the price tag of this axe is so low, Chen Yuan estimates that it should be related to the equipment requirements and effects of this axe.
The forest elves advocate the harmony of life, and generally do not like this kind of equipment that restrains the 'living' way, let alone that it is just an axe rather than a spear or scimitar, and at the same time, the tenacity exemption requirement of up to 6 points is enough to dissuade the vast majority of forest elves.
Even if the 6-point tenacity exemption is reached, according to the description of the first passive effect of this axe, Chen Yuan can basically guess whether to accept a certain judgment under the high probability, and once it fails, it is estimated that the consequences are quite serious, and it is Chen Yuan's perversion of 11 points of tenacity immunity that can make the original curse judgment become a buff.
As for the other 'Lava Core Elixir' (mutilated), it was obvious that it was 'reduced' due to its quality, and the increase in the instability and difficulty of 'Judgment' and the weakening caused by defeat almost condemned this flask to death.
Chen Yuan felt that in terms of the urine nature of the forest elves, even if it was a complete 'lava core potion', it was estimated that they would not want to exchange it, and from the surging fire element energy after starting it, Chen Yuan roughly sensed the type of 'judgment', and once it failed, the attribute deducted hit the weakness of almost all the forest elves.
In fact, Chen Yuan felt that the original price of the three items he selected must be more than the current number, that is, these three items were either out of the way, or they were not suitable for estimation and dropped to the current value, otherwise Chen Yuan would really not be able to pick up the leaks.
Other people come to redeem rewards for one piece, and a small number of them are two, and it is estimated that it is the first time that Chen Yuan plans to eat three pieces in one go.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan found that his points were not very sufficient after picking for a while, so he planned to find some out-of-the-way items, and this strategy proved to be quite good, at least now these three rewards have enhanced his own strength, Chen Yuan is still very satisfied.
After selecting the axe and equipment, he put a card in the special buckle clip on the back of the shield, and Chen Yuan walked out of the prize point with a happy mood.
When Chen Yuan obtained the 'Newborn Equipment', he thought about the problem of obtaining a master-hand equipment in the future, so he specially designed two clips on the back of the shield to place weapons with handles, such as swords or spears, of course, the axe is no problem, but I didn't expect it to be used today.
"John is out." Wall was the first to notice Chen Yuan and walked out.
The mood is particularly good, and Chen Yuan's steps are rarely a little more than usual.
"Far beyond expectations, I didn't expect that even the rewards of the second stage would be quite good."
"With your expression, you can tell at a glance that you must have chosen a good thing."
"Permanent buff potion? Or the weird gear in the inventory? ”
Chen Yuan's face froze, was this all guessed by Eve?
"What's so surprising, we've seen the things in the inventory three times, and most of them are only good for our forest elves, and if you can make a human defender look at them, nine times out of ten are those things and potions that are out of the way."
Since he was guessed, Chen Yuan had nothing to hide, so he pulled the axe away from the shield and showed it in front of everyone.
Anyway, sooner or later, I have to tell the others, and now it's good to take it out so that there will be some saliva left over from the 'pre-war meeting' in the evening, even if I don't say it.
"Oh, it's this axe!"
"Eve, you've heard of this axe, too."
"Haha, 'Life Executioner'! In the end, it was John who replaced this axe. ”
A group of people gathered around, and it seemed that they had all heard of the name of this axe, among which Wall seemed to know a lot of information, and Chen Yuan immediately asked.
"What's wrong with this axe?"
"The 'Life Executioner' is the trophy that our forest elves fished from the 'Fountain of Life' back then, and I heard that it was the weapon of a certain 'Black Abyss' lord in the battle with the 'Black Abyss' hundreds of years ago, and it became what it is now after falling into the 'Fountain of Life' hundreds of years after it was fished up."
"However, although the original dark aura has been purified, I heard that this axe still carries an evil curse, and the previous price tag is 1000 points, so no one dares to bet on this weapon."
"John, you are bold, and you just swapped it out."
Exactly like what Wall said, this axe did carry a 'curse', but Chen Yuan didn't care about this, but this axe was soaked in the 'Fountain of Life' for hundreds of years, which made Chen Yuan a little concerned.
I'm afraid there are some secrets in this axe...
"Speaking of which, a hundred years ago, the quasi-legendary forger of our Forest Elf Clan had identified this axe."
"It is said that the original quality of this weapon is not low, and after being soaked in the 'Fountain of Life' for so long, I am afraid that some changes have occurred inside, but I don't know what kind of opportunity is needed to draw it out."
Wall thought about it and said a few more words, but because it was only a joke at the beginning, he didn't remember it very clearly.
"So... It doesn't matter, I chose it anyway. Curses aren't a big deal, my related stats are high enough to be directly immune. The attributes of this axe are my appetite, and I don't lose my choice. Chen Yuan continued.
"Now that everyone has finished choosing the reward, let's go back!"
"Go your own way, relax, don't mess around, come back as soon as it's time to gather, and we'll have a meeting when we return to the mother tree in the evening."
Eve gave a friendly 'reminder' to her teammates as usual, and in fact, her eyes were completely focused on the Wall trio.
"Alright, disband."
The group walked to different forks in the road, the sun had just risen, the sky was good, and Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to go to the 'place of meditation'.
Moving forward along the sea of flowers, Chen Yuan found a quiet open space and took out the two bottles of potion in his hand.
Raising his head and taking a sip of the 'Steel Ancient Essence', Chen Yuan sat cross-legged and began to perceive subtle changes in himself.
At first, the body seemed to be a little 'tighter', and suddenly a mass of 'air'-like energy began to withdraw from the body and converge on the body surface, and after a while, the body that became 'tight' regained its original flexibility, and a set of transparent 'armor' that only Chen Yuan could see had covered Chen Yuan's whole body.
'As a result of the effect of 'Steel Ancient Essence', you will gain a layer of transparent armor made of metal elements, which will have an additional 10 equipment armor and 10 all elemental resistance when attacked'
Not bad.
Chen Yuan felt that his defense ability had improved a little, and he was very satisfied with the effect of this bottle of potion.
Not only did it not affect his flexibility and speed, but at the same time, he could also have an invisible layer of protection, and Chen Yuan took another step forward on the road of stacking the thickest armor and being beaten the most viciously.
"Then, it's the turn of this bottle of 'defective product'..."
Shaking the crimson medicine bottle in front of him, the liquid inside seemed to be a molten fire element that could not be suppressed by the releaser.
Although he had already learned from the books about the problems that needed to be faced when the elixir of this type of attribute was 'determined', Chen Yuan still did not dare to guarantee a 100% success rate, which would be better if it was a complete version, but the mutilated version would have a great chance of getting out of control.
"I hope it's not so hot."
He raised his head again and drank it all, and in an instant, a scorching and violent breath erupted in Chen Yuan's stomach as the potion deepened.
"Ahem! ... Cough! ... This bottle of medicine is poisonous! ”
Choked so that he couldn't speak clearly, Chen Yuan could only try his best to endure the burning sensation in his abdomen that was gradually rising, praying that the so-called 'judgment' would pass quickly.
'Due to the effect of 'Lava Core Elixir' (Defective), you will receive a 'Judgment', and the Pain Judgment will be passed, and the Elemental Resistance will be passed.....
'If you fail to resist Fire Erosion, you will continue to take a certain amount of Fire Damage.....
Gradually, the pain began to intensify, and the burning sensation in his stomach began to make Chen Yuan's health point slip, but fortunately, the value of the drop was not even as much as Chen Yuan's recovery of health per second, Chen Yuan ignored it after glancing at the blood deduction report.
Ten minutes later, the pain began to disappear, and Chen Yuan's originally flushed face began to return to normal.
'Survival Decision Passed'
'You have passed the 'Judgment' of 'Lava Core Elixir' (Broken) and have successfully obtained the blessing of 'Lava Land'
'You have successfully mastered the transcendent specialty 'Molten Ring' and have gained some memories of it'
Molten Ring (Transcendent) (Passive) (LV.3): The scorching fire elemental will protect you at all times. When the 'Molten Ring' is not displayed, it will deal (7+17% Constitution) Ignition Elemental DMG per second to all enemy targets within a radius of 3 meters. After manifesting the 'Molten Ring', the aura's damage radius is doubled, the damage dealt by the fire elemental is increased by 30%, and every 5 seconds, it will also give the self the power to use the 'Burst Scorch' once, designating a fixed location within the aura's damage radius, and the burst fire elemental will blast the location after a slight delay, creating a high damage and continuously killing all enemy targets in a small area.
.....
With the help of the relevant memories obtained, the proficiency of the new specialty that Chen Yuan had just started skyrocketed, and his level also increased by two levels.
In terms of type, the new transcendent specialty is undoubtedly a type that is both offensive and defensive, with a small and medium-range passive aura covering skill that can effectively and continuously kill all enemies near the user, and can also allow the user to have the ability to explode at a fixed point every 5 seconds, which can sneak up on a wave of ruthless enemies when they are unprepared.
Just like 'Absorbing Touch', this extraordinary specialty can compensate for and improve Chen Yuan's area of effect damage, both in terms of adaptability and the specific buffs it brings.
