[Armament Name: Cloak of Shadow]

[Quality: Xuan-level lower grade]

[Occupation: General]

[Combat power attribute requirements: Extreme Physique Coefficient: 1.8, Extreme Sensitivity Coefficient: 1.8]

Rune Circle: Level 1

[Rune Skill 1: Shadow Step, after the user activates the rune skill, he can get an increase equivalent to 0.5 limit sensitivity coefficients in the next two minutes, and the body method comes with a phantom trace effect, and the qi cannot be locked. This runic skill can be activated up to three times per day. 】

[Rune Skill 2: Shield of Darkness, after activating this rune skill, the user can obtain an external defense mask with a base resistance of 120 for one minute.] This runic skill can be activated up to twice a day. 】

……

The above are the relevant attributes of the shadow cloak in Xu Bai's hand.

It is extremely rare for a low-grade Xuan-level weapon to be able to have two rune skills, and the vast majority of low-grade Xuan-level weapons only come with one rune skill.

For the attributes of this shadow cloak, Xu Bai is quite satisfied!

Shadow Step can instantly increase his speed and explosiveness by a small level, and the Phantom Trace effect can make his body more elusive, and he can't be locked by the enemy, these two effects are superimposed, whether in melee or long-range attack, it can play a very good role in confusing the enemy;

The Dark Shield can provide him with a good body protection medium, and its base resistance of up to 120 points cannot be broken at one time even if it is a shadow attack launched by the Shadow Cat, which is equivalent to providing him with a key life-saving skill.

This is definitely a good piece of equipment with both offense and defense, and in Xu Bai's opinion, it is even comparable to some middle-grade Xuan-level weapons.

A piece of equipment with such an obvious effect on Xu Bai's body can be called a tiger with wings. Once the two rune skills are activated at the same time, then he will directly rise to a level in both attack and defense, and his combat methods will be more flexible.

It can be said that after this "strongest contender" task, the value of all the gains added up was completely unexpected, and defeating the shadow cat became the biggest turning point.

"If I had this Shadow Cloak at Nebula Middle School before, that little shadow cat wouldn't have hurt me, and it would have been much easier for me to kill it..."

Thinking about it, Xu Bai sighed and smiled happily and put the shadow cloak back in its place.

Then he touched his already gurgling belly, shook his head and smiled, took out a few ingredients from the storage space, walked quickly into the kitchen, and began to make lunch.

From morning to noon, after several hours of fierce fighting, his body was very exhausted, and his stomach was already hungry, and now he had to treat his stomach well.

By the time Xu Bai Meizi had a full meal, it was already more than half an hour later.

Back in the living room to sit, Xu Bai began to sort out some of the more fragmentary items in his storage space, such as Yuanshi and Pei Yuandan.

After the "Strongest Competitor" quest ended, the 30 reward points he obtained had all been exchanged for 90 low-level source stones and 30 Peiyuan pills.

And from the slender and tall young man before, he got a total of 46 low-level source stones and 17 Peiyuan Pills.

After being promoted to the realm of the trial, he was rewarded with 50 low-level source stones and 20 Pei Yuan Dan, plus those source stones and Pei Yuan Dan that he had not used up, after carefully counting, there were a total of 258 low-level Yuan Stones, and Pei Yuan Dan had 112.

It seems like a lot, but it's actually not enough.

After using the Advanced Pei Yuan Gong to open up the three dantian lifelines, Xu Bai's efficiency in cultivating the Yuan Qi and condensing the Yuan Yuan was greatly improved, but at the same time, the speed of consuming the Yuan Stone was also increasing exponentially.

Now, if he cultivates for ten hours a day, then he needs to consume close to 30 low-level Yuan Stones and 5 Pei Yuan Dan in the process.

In other words, the current 258 low-level Yuan Stones were actually only enough for him to use for about ten days. For Xu Bai, this inventory is not safe, and both items must be accumulated enough for him to cultivate for at least one month to be considered passable.

In the early stage of the apocalypse, in addition to going out to hunt the blood demon virus infection, most of the rest of the time will be used to cultivate vitality and practice various combat skills, so the demand for Yuan Shi and Pei Yuan Dan is very high, and they must ensure that they have enough inventory, otherwise it will affect the growth of their own strength.

In the future, competition between those with armed capabilities will be ubiquitous, and if you fall behind, you will fall behind step by step, and you may have to spend double the hard work afterwards to have a chance to catch up.

Xu Bai knew this very well, so the focus of his next task was to find a way to earn more Yuan Shi and Pei Yuan Dan back.

To do this, it is necessary to get out there and trigger more ad hoc tasks. At this stage, basically completing any task will have a great chance of obtaining these two regular cultivation things.

So much so that in the near future, with the opening of various major war zones, Yuanshi and Pei Yuandan gradually began to circulate among those with armed ability, and even replaced money in peacetime as two special items with stable transaction value.

After tidying up the Yuan Stone and Pei Yuan Dan on his body, Xu Bai immediately sat cross-legged in the living room, first took a Pei Yuan Dan, closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, and then began to concentrate on refining the two low-grade Yuan Stones in his hand, and slowly inhaled the pure Yuan Qi that had been quenched and purified into his dantian life core.

Xu Bai must hurry up and condense his second Origin Natal Element!

The blood-scarcity virus infection outside is getting stronger all the time, and the boss-level blood-scarcity virus infection will soon be born, and the number will not be small.

To deal with them, it is far from enough to rely on only one Origin Life Element, just like dealing with the previous Shadow Cat, Xu Bai, with the blessing of the Origin Life Element, has already consumed most of the life element power in his dantian life core with all his strength to chase the life of the three shadows.

If he dealt with two or three mutant creatures of the same level or even stronger strength at the same time, with the reserves of life element power in his current dantian life core, it would definitely not be enough to fully support it.

Without the blessing of the power of the life element, Xu Bai's combat power would be reduced by at least one-third, or even more, and the power of the various combat skills and body techniques he used was also much inferior, which was extremely deadly at a critical time.

In addition, now Xu Bai's dantian life core level is at the beginning of the first stage, in order to successfully promote to the middle of the first stage, and then obtain the blessing of a more powerful life element, he must condense the three origin life elements in his own dantian life core, and then perfectly fuse them together to condense the power of life elements with a higher level and stronger power, otherwise even if his various combat power attributes continue to improve, he will not be able to give full play to the lethality of this body.

The four combat power attributes are the foundation of those who are armed and the source of strength; The strength of the life element determines the upper limit of the maximum explosive power of a person with armed ability in battle.

With the same combat power attribute, the side with the inferior power of its own life element often can't beat the side with more and stronger life element power.

Of course, this is not an inevitable result, and the specific situation must be comprehensively judged by the strength and weakness of various practical skills of both sides.

In any case, the power of the life element has a huge effect on the actual combat performance of every armed person, especially for a person like Xu Bai who has rich combat experience, his various fighting methods have almost been integrated, and it is not easy to go further.

The advantage is that he doesn't need to spend a lot of time improving his various combat skills like those newcomers outside, and now as long as he directly focuses all his energy on cultivating his vitality and condensing the nascent Origin Destiny, it is the most efficient way to improve his combat power.

When the dantian life core of the armed ability is at the beginning of the first stage, it is not difficult to condense the new origin life element, generally after condensing the first origin life element, it takes twice as long to condense the second origin life element, and the same is true for the third origin life element.

After successfully opening up the three dantian lifelines and greatly improving the efficiency of refining the Yuan Stone, Xu Bai was confident that he would be able to condense all his three Origin Life Elements within seven days, and whether he could break through the Dantian Lifecore Realm to the middle of the first stage at that time depended on whether there was a suitable opportunity.

This is important. As mentioned earlier, the real test will not come until seven days after the catastrophe is in full swing.

All the changes before this are just a trivial foreplay, which is equivalent to warming up many armed people and letting them adapt to this fierce and cruel rhythm of survival.

……

Next, Xu Bai, who was completely immersed in the cultivation state, began to breathe up regularly, his chest rose and fell, and the two low-level yuan stones in his hands gradually glowed with a faint silver glow, and a trace of invisible air flow that could not be captured by the naked eye was sucked into his mouth...

Before you know it, an hour has passed.

On the ground, the prompt sound of the armed coat of arms sounded in Xu Bai's mind:

"The first comprehensive performance evaluation has ended!"

Hearing this, Xu Bai opened his eyes, and the two low-grade yuan stones that he originally held in his hands had turned into white sand and gravel like particles.

The cold, emotionless voice of the armed heraldic continued to sound:

"The number of armed ability people participating in the comprehensive performance evaluation in the Earth Theater this time is: 1758908 people!"

"Among them, the number of armed abilities who have passed the assessment and successfully promoted to the realm of the trial is: 1120042 people!"

"Note: Those who fail to pass this assessment will be eliminated directly if they receive a lower than two-star assessment in the next round of comprehensive performance evaluation!"

After listening to these two prompts, Xu Bai's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in his heart: "Fortunately, this data is not much different from the previous life..."

According to the data listed by the armed emblem, a total of nearly 1.76 million armed ability people on the entire earth participated in this comprehensive performance evaluation, of which more than 1.11 million people were successfully promoted to the first stage of the trial, and more than 700,000 armed ability people failed the assessment, with a pass rate of about 61%.

If these 700,000 armed ability people who fail the assessment fail again in the next round of comprehensive performance evaluation, then they will be directly eliminated, which means that they will be directly deprived of their armed ability by the armed heraldic and become ordinary people. In that case, in Xu Bai's opinion, there is not much difference from death.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to survive this world-destroying disaster.

However, after a while, those ordinary people who survived by luck still have a chance to become new armed people, and it depends on whether they can seize the opportunity at that time.

Xu Bai also knew that among the first batch of 1.1 million armed ability people who were successfully promoted to the realm of the trial stage, including him, there were actually not many guys who had won a five-star evaluation, and there were definitely three digits, and he was just the first armed ability person to obtain a five-star evaluation within the scope of his own division.

Among those people, there should be no seven-star evaluation, but there are still a few demons who have won six-star evaluations, and Xu Bai knew one in his previous life, although the relationship is not very good.

Although the earth is just an asteroid, there is no shortage of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Whether it is the top special elites in the troops of various countries, or those internationally renowned boxing stars, or those hidden martial arts masters, and the children of sects with ancient inheritances, once they are allowed to obtain an external gold finger like the armed emblem, the destructive power generated is far beyond those who are transformed by ordinary people with armed abilities.

Many guys who are inconspicuous in the era of peace, after entering the apocalyptic era, are like a hidden dragon out of the water, breaking free from the shackles of secular morality on them, showing far more adaptability than ordinary people, and it is easy to become the focus of the armed heraldry.

From this point alone, they are actually not much worse than Xu Bai.

In the near future, these people will also be Xu Bai's main competitors.

Xu Bai never underestimated the people of the world, even if he had the huge advantage of being reborn; He knows exactly how tough his opponents really are, and he will go all out to improve his strength from the start.

Of course, he is not afraid of any kind of competition, on the contrary, he is even looking forward to playing against the top powerhouses in his memory.

In his previous life, he tried his best, but in the end he could only look up at some existence on the clouds; And in this life, no matter how much it costs, he will only make himself an admirer of others!

The thought passed in a flash, and just as Xu Bai was about to continue refining the Yuan Stone, the prompt tone of the armed heraldic interrupted him again:

"Note: From now on, the system is officially opening up five new features of the Armed Emblem, which are as follows:

1: Mall redemption function

2: Regional channel communication function

3: Multiplayer team function (3 players/5 players)

4: Private voice transmission function

5: Trading Function! ”

"Reminder: On the main page of each new feature, the specific requirements and related restrictions of the function are listed, so please check for yourself."

Hearing this, Xu Bai's face showed a sudden expression, patted his head and said, "I actually forgot about this matter, and I really opened these functions at this point in time..."

Immediately, Xu Bai opened his armed crest, found the page where these new functions were located, and quickly scanned them up and down.

First of all, he clicked on the main page of the mall exchange function, and a virtual projection of color pictures immediately appeared in front of him, representing different classification options, namely: main weapons/weapon accessories, armor, accessories, hidden weapons, elixirs, combat skill inheritance cheats and auxiliary supplies, a total of seven categories.

Xu Bai was familiar with these things, he roughly browsed the items displayed on the various category pages, there were not many things to choose from, such as the main weapon page, the highest value was the best mortal-level weapon, not even a Xuan-level weapon.

Among them, there is a top-grade mortal-level weapon: the Golden Scale Knife, which Xu Bai can use, but its exchange price actually reaches 600 points mall transaction volume, you must know that Xu Bai only has a total of 400 mall transaction volumes, and he can't afford to buy this knife after spending it.

Everything is expensive!

Xu Bai didn't have any surprise or resentment about this, as a person who came over, he had long known that the things in the mall were not cheap, especially the exchange price of equipment, for those who were just starting out with armed ability, they were basically only dry eyes.

At the current stage, most of the armed ability can only exchange some low-quality equipment from the mall, such as medium-grade mortal-level weapons, and the price is generally around 100 points of mall transaction volume.

In addition, generally every three days, the mall will update the shelves, put on the shelves some better quality things, and of course, the exchange price is also higher.

With the Falling Star Bow and the Shadow Cloak, Xu Bai didn't need to change his equipment for a short period of time, and the top-grade mortal-level armed glaive knife in his hand was enough to deal with the melee combat in most of the current situations.

Therefore, after calculating what he could buy with the 400-point mall transaction coupon, he first spent 200 mall coupons to exchange for a brand new set of high-grade mortal-level armed black-scale battle suits, and then spent 100 mall coupons to exchange for four sets of stainless steel arrows (a group of 50), and the last 100 mall coupons were used by him to exchange for four of the cheapest pills, each with a price of 25 mall coupons, which were:

Solid pills that can quickly replenish physical strength;

blood clotting pills capable of quickly treating trauma;

Guiyuan pills that can recover from internal injuries;

It is a good pill that can eliminate mental fatigue and resist mental damage to a certain extent.

These four pills are all necessary for those with armed ability to walk the rivers and lakes, although the quality of the pills exchanged with the 25-point mall transaction voucher is very low, and the effect is average, but it is enough to deal with most of the emergencies at the current stage.

To do this, Xu Bai then turned on the regional channel communication function of the armed heraldry, and a black-and-white main page similar to an online forum was projected on the screen, with three classification page options, namely: 1 discussion area, 2 reward area, 3 complaints and suggestions.

These three category pages, the discussion area will develop into a place for people with armed abilities to be flooded and complained, and the bounty area is a place where the armed emblem is used to publish some public bounty tasks, and those with armed abilities in its limited mission area can choose to accept this kind of task, but be prepared for fierce competition.

As for the third so-called complaint suggestion page, you can completely ignore its existence, and you will not have any response unless a miracle happens.

Xu Bai first entered the discussion forum page, which was already very lively, venting and scolding, calling friends to find a team, deliberately setting up a trap to harm people, and all kinds of surprising remarks, etc., which were not much different from the Internet irrigation forum in peacetime, Xu Bai took a casual look and left this messy page.

As for the bounty area page, the Armed Emblem has not released any bounty tasks at present, and even if there is, if it is not a task with a very high return and is very familiar to him, Xu Bai will not do it.

Because there are too many variables in this kind of task, no matter how strong the individual is, it is difficult to avoid being secretly attacked by other competitors, which is not a problem of one or two.

And once these tasks are started, the armed heraldic will often set up a lot of small traps in it, often the pay is not proportional to the gain, Xu Bai knows how deep the water inside is, and he can avoid it as much as possible without touching it.

The other three new additions are simple, and as the name suggests, it's all about teaming, trading, and sending private messages. The only thing they have in common is that they all need to spend a certain amount of mall transaction volume as the so-called service fee... In fact, the open function of the armed coat of arms,None of them are really free.,Even posting a post in the discussion forum costs 1 point mall transaction volume.,It's not an exaggeration to scold it for MDZZ.。

Seeing this, Xu Bai suddenly had a strong desire to earn mall transaction volumes, of course, the way is also very simple, just go outside and kill those bloody virus infections, and a little kill value can be exchanged for a little mall transaction volume.

"Well, let's not cultivate the vitality first, it's better to go outside for an interview and try the specific power of the Falling Star Bow."

Thinking about it, Xu Bai turned off the function page of the armed emblem, and his eyes fell on the big bow that shimmered with a faint dark gold rune light on the coffee table again, and a confident smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
