Chapter 1960: Chapter 1960: Schemes and Calculations
Li Yao tossed the Light Group to the Enchantress and said, “At last, we’ve found something worthwhile. This item should be kept well; it’s quite rare and crucial at your current stage.”
Primordial Bead
Quality: Golden Legendary
It can slowly nourish the body and replenish lost origins (for below race level, replenishes 3% of each minor level daily, for race to faction level, replenishes 0.5% daily).
Increases original replenishment by 10% when obtained.
Equipment Condition: No need to equip, just place it in the backpack to activate.
Equipment Rank: Elite Class
“This is a great item, I think you need it more than I do.”
Although its properties are simple, its effect is absolutely significant. And it’s just a golden item, but if she were to trade it for an ultra-rare weapon, there would surely be many who wish to exchange.
This item is too important and crucial, meaning that even if one’s luck is terrible, the origin can gradually be replenished, and one can steadily reach faction level, which is invaluable.
Once the origin is replenished, upgrading ranks is more than just a simple step up.
“I don’t need it anymore; my goal this time is to reach world-class. The first effect is useless, and as for the extra 10% gain, it doesn’t matter to me. Don’t hold back, the item I have is far superior to this bead.” Li Yao said, raising the fragment in his hand.
Rule Fragment (Small)
Grade: Dark Gold Legendary
Condensed a small part of the rule fragments from the world of spreading the fire.
The description is simple and doesn’t explain its use, but everyone knows how precious this item is.
It’s said that Rule Fragments are a great treasure even for deities. Whenever they are discovered, they will surely be fought over.
For Demigods, it is the key to becoming a god, enabling faster comprehension of their godhood and position, very crucial.
For those who have entered sainthood, it is the key to achieving demigod status.
And for the world-class, just comprehending a bit of the rule’s power and mastering it allows one to reach sainthood.
This means it’s something everyone desires but cannot easily obtain.
“My mentor said to bring it to her if found, and she promised to return with something even better for her disciples later, but she didn’t hold any expectation of us getting this.” The Enchantress frowned.
“Naturally, your mentor is already high world-class; once she reaches the peak and achieves sainthood, this is a crucial item. But unfortunately, people at their level, though daring enough to venture into small dimensions, have too many ties and avoid overly dangerous places. The rewards, though plentiful for us, are just chicken ribs for those at their level.” Li Yao shook his head.
“You’re aiming to reach world-class this time, right? You’ll soon be able to use it,” the Enchantress said.
“Becoming world-class isn’t difficult, but it’s still a long way before I can use Rule Fragments. Besides, a small fragment isn’t critical for me,” Li Yao said, fiddling with the fragment. “I’m planning to give it to my mentor; although she seems to have caught up to the other leaders in strength, death has caused irreversible damage. She needs this to stabilize and increase her power, and even though I’ve branched out independently, the support of the Undercity is still crucial. It’s hard to face challenges without something substantial to show.”
“After sending the Flying Fortress last time and this time the fragment, your first heir is secured,” the Enchantress said. “You’re right, whether her identity or your mentor’s, it’s crucial to solidify this relationship.”
“My mentor is quite proud; just watch, when I give this, I’ll surely receive more in the future,” Li Yao smiled. Even the cold-blooded Butcher had instructed her to bring back the fragment. Other mentors would undoubtedly demand their disciples to venture into sub-dimensions and acquire it, many offering rewards to motivate their heirs.
Otherwise, why have disciples, why spend so much to open sub-dimensional portals? Just for helping the disciples grow? What a joke. It cannot be denied there are such mentors, but more do it for themselves.
Last time when I met the Queen, she knew I was about to enter a sub-dimension and directly gave me a coordinate and even patiently explained some precautions about sub-dimensions.
But after we parted ways, the Queen never mentioned having me bring back Rule Fragments. Who am I? Currently the no.1 among new recruits, if anyone has a higher chance of obtaining fragments, it’s me.
But she never brought it up, as if there was no such thing, only told him about the uses of some precious sub-dimensional treasures, such as World Fragments, advising not to miss out.
Carefully storing the fragment, Li Yao felt relief; now he has become a great Lord, able to flourish even without the Queen’s assistance, why care about any reward.
“So, what should we do now?” the Enchantress asked.
“The other party is hiding underground and can’t come out, what can we do? This place is sealed; we can’t destroy it. Let’s head up,” Li Yao said as he walked towards the exit.
The Enchantress’s eyes showed doubt but followed along.
Getting out this time took much less time, soon reaching outside the building.
“What’s your plan? It’s not as simple as you say, is it?” the Enchantress asked.
“Of course not, the Salary King is monitoring Amon, and Amon surely understands the Salary King’s seals. If we talk, the Salary King will certainly hear. I estimate the Grand Clock Tower is already a dragon’s den, and going to ring the bell now is practically suicide,” Li Yao sneered.
“That serious?” the Enchantress frowned.
“More serious than that. After years of rivalry, both Amon’s and the Salary King’s plans are terrifying. How do you know what good intentions the Dance King has? Perhaps he just wants us to scout the way; we’re not necessarily the ones to actually ring the bell,” Li Yao said, continually moving through the buildings.
The Enchantress followed behind Li Yao, frowning, “This situation is chaotic.”
“Chaos is also an opportunity; just follow me and enjoy the show,” Li Yao laughed. “I don’t care what schemes either side has; it’s none of my business, as this collapsing world will inevitably die. Why worry about their victories or losses? As long as we achieve our goals, you’re just here to watch the show. It’s not over till our rewards overflow.”
The Enchantress was speechless, hadn’t they gained plenty already? Not satisfied yet? She also realized how coincidental that such a precious chest appeared in the sealed underground place.
It didn’t make logical sense, too suspicious, clearly Amon was intentionally diverting attention, or he had another purpose.
However, Li Yao stepping out of the game and playing his own made her curious, wondering how Li Yao will intervene and gain benefits…
