The artifact glowing with that dark gold light finally revealed its true form under the expectant gazes of the crowd: +6 Chieftain's Beloved Equipment Rarity: Dark Gold Grade Source World: Any world where contact with Native Americans is possible Category: Pigment Material: Unknown Attachable Devices: None Equipment Slot: Waist Equipment Type: Accessory Weight: 12.4 grams.

Equipment Usage Conditions: Base Eloquence Lv7 / Or Military Rank of Private First Class or higher (including PFC) Equipment Effect: Charisma/Intelligence +6 points.

Equipment Effect: Your spell casting success rate is increased by 3%.

Passive Ability: Blessing of the Native, every time you fail a spell cast or have it interrupted, you will refund 33% of the mental power consumed.

Passive Ability: Additionally increases the wearer's Base Eloquence and Base Prayer by two levels; this increase cannot apply to Contractors whose Base Eloquence exceeds Lv10.

Note: Wearing this accessory does not grant additional bonus draw attributes, only basic rewards.

(See previous text for details.) Active Ability: Graffiti.

You discover the true purpose of the Chieftain's Beloved.

You use it to draw on your own face.

A cooling sensation washes over you, and simultaneously, you seem to gain the acknowledgment of Mother Earth.

Consequently, your Charisma and Intelligence will each increase by 3 points for a duration of 30 minutes.

However, you notice that this unstylish yet practical "cosmetic" also contains a certain toxin, so your Stamina will temporarily decrease by 6 points for 60 minutes.

You may also use this item on an allied unit, but doing so will put the Graffiti ability on a 60-minute cooldown.

Description: This Dark Gold item was originally used by the tribe's chief before going to war or embarking on a major hunt.

The chief would smear colorful war paint on his face with it, hoping to gain the protection of the wild.

Description: The equipment grants a +6 base reward, and the wearer gains an effect that reduces all incoming damage by 4.8%.

Description: The equipment grants a +4 extra attribute bonus, and the wearer gains the special effect of Intelligence +3, Spirit +3, Charisma +3.

(Rare draw attribute) Among these three items, Reef was most drawn to the Soul Vessel of Tony (Scarce), persuaded by the description stating, "This weapon soul will achieve an exceptionally high degree of compatibility no matter what equipment it merges with." This was because Reef was quite fond of the black equipment known as Birmingham "Stuka" Hand Crossbow Holster, perhaps stemming from his real-world expertise in such matters.

He had scoured the entire market for it but had never encountered a soul vessel with high compatibility for that holster.

Perhaps due to the extreme rarity of this equipment, in the tentative simulation process of merging it with other soul vessels, Reef couldn't even achieve a compatibility probability above 50%! This was the most regrettable and vexing aspect for Reef.

But when Reef retrieved the Soul Vessel of Tony and initiated a simulation, he discovered the compatibility between the two reached an astonishing 95%! Even better: the Birmingham "Stuka" Hand Crossbow Holster, being a black item, seemed to have virtually nothing to do with magic, meaning the final difficult hurdle was also cleared.

Since Reef liked the item so much, there was no reason not to let him have it, so naturally, he let him take it to upgrade the black equipment, the Hand Crossbow Holster.

As for the Secret Treasure Map "Dead Sea Scrolls," it was naturally left with Fang Senyan.

Depending on the situation in the next world, if time permits, it might be worthwhile to open it for a stroke of luck—the two unscrupulous team members unanimously agreed that this was Fang Senyan's concern.

As for that dark gold accessory, all three shook their heads with wry smiles.

There was no way to blame Fang Senyan's bad luck; accessories were the rarest equipment subset, bar none.

Drawing an accessory could only be described as good luck, but drawing such a Dark Gold accessory with such a narrow target audience meant its consumers were clearly limited to Contractors following a summoning path.

This was akin to an author writing niche literature: writing too detailedly invites accusations of padding, and even the most exquisite writing only earns a sigh looking up at the grandmasters! But no matter what, selling this Dark Gold accessory cheaply was absolutely out of the question.

As the saying goes, sell the item to someone who appreciates it; in fact, if a wealthy buyer like the powerful leader of the Symbiotic Society had appeared, this thing might have fetched a sky-high price.

So, Fang Senyan handed the item to Gold Mine, instructing him to strictly adhere to the maxim, "One might not make a sale for three years, but when one does, it sustains for three years." Don't strike a deal until the opportunity is ripe; even if it means letting the item sit until it molds, it must never be sold cheap at a bargain price! Naturally, everyone then went about their own business, which need not be detailed here.

We shall only touch upon the highlights: Firstly, after Reef's Hand Crossbow Holster was upgraded to a Silver Plot Item, the extra effects it gained brought him an unexpected surprise.

Not only did the thrown darts see significant improvements in range and accuracy, but what made eyes water was the addition of the line: "When the thrown darts inflict continuous damage on an enemy, 50% of the damage inflicted will continuously heal the shooter!!" With this attribute appearing, the Birmingham "Stuka" Hand Crossbow Holster immediately transformed from a borderline useless item into an indispensable gem! Reef immediately leveled up his Base Ranged Combat to Lv4, choosing the extra characteristic boost of +10% to ranged attack damage.

Coupled with the blue ring he wore, his Base Ranged Combat instantly jumped to Lv6, at least boosting the damage bonus of thrown darts by 40%! As a result, after practical testing, every dart thrown could continuously restore close to 60 health points to Reef! And at this moment, the holster held four darts, and since becoming a Silver Plot Item, the dart generation rate had also become 1 per 30 seconds.

This meant Reef's survivability had been further enhanced! And the longer the fight dragged on, the more advantageous it was for him! Overjoyed, Reef tossed his remaining Universal Points and Potential Points into the Guild Warehouse, then immediately went back to training Base Ranged Combat.

Next to successfully advance was the "Barbarian Demon Eye" worn on Fang Senyan's finger (attributes reference previous text).

After merging with Ban Niu's soul vessel, the enhancements, while not as lucky a success as Reef's, were quite substantial (only changes are listed below): Ring: Barbarian Demon Eye.

Equipment Rarity: Silver Plot "Equipment Effect: Strength +3. "Equipment Effect: Spirit -2 (originally -4), Base Ranged Combat -1 (Owner does not possess this ability, so this attribute cannot take effect). "Equipment Passive Ability: Soul Irradiation.

When you attack an enemy, this empty eyeball occasionally fragments the enemy's soul, inflicting 15 (originally 10 points) of defense-ignoring damage." "Equipment Ability: Horn's Fury.

Charge violently at an enemy target instantly, range 1040 meters (originally 835 meters), stunning the enemy for 3 seconds, inflicting damage equal to the numerical value of Strength + Stamina (originally no damage).

During the charge, your movement speed is deemed the maximum limit for the current world difficulty, and you are immune to all slowing effects. "Only when your Strength is greater than the target's (originally when achieving crushing superiority) can the 100% hit rate of Horn's Fury be guaranteed.

If your Strength is less than the target's, the hit rate of this ability will decrease accordingly." "Regardless of whether you hit the target, you will be stunned for 03 seconds after Horn's Fury ends (lowered from 16 seconds) (the stun duration is determined by your current Strength value; higher Strength means shorter stun duration; exceeding 50 Strength results in 0 seconds of stun).

Cooldown time increased to 240 seconds (from 180 seconds)." While waiting for the fusion time of the Barbarian Demon Eye and the soul vessel, Fang Senyan also managed to purchase the dark blue scroll for "Advanced Ability: Blade Mastery Lv4." The prerequisite for learning this scroll only required Strength and Agility to reach 20 points, and Base Melee Combat to reach Lv4.

Fang Senyan had long met these learning conditions.

Once Advanced Ability: Blade Mastery reached Lv4, his destructive power became quite astonishing, presenting an effect that seemed mild but was actually irresistible.

Based on Fang Senyan's tests in the training room, the power of his long sword had increased by another 20%.

And Base Melee Combat also increased to Lv7, with the extra bonus draw being an enhancement of 10% to melee attack damage.

In fact, Fang Senyan didn't originally want this Lv7 extra attribute.

He had even considered de-ranking and re-ranking to try for another rare attribute associated with Base Melee Combat Lv7: Disarm.

If he were to advance to Lieutenant, he could successfully view this potential rare attribute.

This attribute had a 50% chance, upon blocking/dodging an enemy's attack, to disarm them of their weapon for 15 seconds; if the enemy had no weapon, it would disarm their armor; if the enemy was an octopus-like creature such as the Hichimu, possessing neither weapon nor armor, triggering the effect would reduce the enemy's defense by 10%.

This was also quite substantial.

However, Fang Senyan clearly remembered that in the Avatar world, Morganza had unreservedly handed over a large amount of Pandora Crystals, and during the final reward selection, he chose the one most suitable for Fang Senyan, essentially receiving no return.

Even the reward for activating the Crimson Key was useless to him at that time.

Precisely because Morganza had contributed so much silently, Fang Senyan felt he absolutely had to conserve his funds to satisfy his request...

After all, what's good for one is good for all; the entire team growing stronger and advancing together is the ultimate way.
