Chapter 36: The Treasure
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Several Verdant Eagles charged at him from different directions.
Ling Yi couldn’t dodge in time and had no choice but to activate the Earth Shield to protect himself.
He saw a glimpse of a box and was sure that it was the treasure box he was looking for. He wasn’t far from it and amidst the chaos, he managed to run closer, closing the distance between him and his objective.
His fingers finally grazed the chest!
This was the lowest-level wooden treasure chest. The wood outside looked old, and the color was faded due to the elements. There were also green algae growing on it.
Ling Yi casually flipped the lid off and just as everyone had said, an unremarkable black bracelet lies inside.
“This is it!” Ling Yi quickly picked it up and kept it in his bag.
[You have obtained the E-grade treasure ‘Dream Micro Star’!]
Ling Yi didn’t delay any further.
He immediately used the teleportation talisman.
...
Ling Yi’s figure reappeared on the campsite.
“Haa…” Ling Yi immediately let out a long sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, exhausted.
Other players were sitting down or lying down on the clean grass around him.
Ling Yi didn’t know what they were doing, but he wasn’t curious enough or bothered to care.
“All in all, everything went as planned.” He looked at the remaining 2 hours and 57 minutes flashing on his interface and smiled with satisfaction.
He still couldn’t defeat the level 15 Main Road Boss. But even so, Ling Yi couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment for being able to obtain a treasure from its back in just three minutes.
In fact...
If the Wind Maestro had not dodged his [Starfall], he was confident that he could kill it with one strike.
Unfortunately, it was smart enough to dodge.
Shaking his head and sighing, he opened his backpack and began to check the treasure that he had just obtained.
[Dream Micro Star]
[Grade: E]
[Type: Bracelet]
[Effect: Constitution +7]
[Special Skill: Increases the wearer’s star slot by 1]
During the last two days, Ling Yi spent most of his free time browsing information on the forum. That’s when he found out about a certain item in the beginners’ map that could increase the player’s star slot.
The main reason why this treasure was labeled as “mysterious” was because of how rare this item was, and the fact that not many people knew the upgraded formula to this treasure.
“Treasures” were the only accessory on God’s Path that could increase a player’s attributes.
Each player can only equip one accessory at a time.
Furthermore, there were different synthesis formulas between treasures.
For example, the world-famous Wolf Fang necklace synthesis formula:
Breezy necklace (E) + Wolf’s Fangs x5 → Wolf’s Fangs necklace (D)
These formulas were called the upgraded formula. It is a list of recipes that are used to upgrade the rank of your accessories.
Other than the [Dream Micro Star], all the other well-known E-grade accessories’ upgrade formulas had been discovered. Naturally, everybody believed that this particular treasure would also have its recipe, but the problem was nobody had discovered it yet.
Over time, this treasure had also become more and more mysterious as it was passed down by word of mouth.
“The effect is the same as the information.”
Ling Yi didn’t have any expectations for the E grade treasure itself. He was more concerned about its potential for mutation.
He looked down.
[Dream Micro Star (E-grade Treasure) – Mutation Potential: Medium.]
“Tsk.” He muttered in a disappointed tone, “I went through all that for a medium.”
Ling Yi frowned and sighed. “Then again, I don’t need any specific attributes at the moment. An additional star slot is good enough.”
The reason why he wanted to obtain this treasure was all because he wanted more star slots.
Although there were many types of treasure with their advantages and disadvantages, Ling Yi felt that the treasure that could increase the star slot was the best for him.
He didn’t dawdle and quickly mutated it.
[Are you sure you want to mutate the Dream Micro Star? (16 mutation points required)]
“I’m sure!” Ling Yi nodded in confirmation.
The mutation had happened according to his expectations.
Even if he found the formula, he could still combine them and advance it even further after mutating it...
A moment later, the blurriness disappeared, and he immediately clicked on it.
[Dream Micro Star]
[Grade: E]
[Type: Bracelet]
[Effect: Constitution +7 (+5)]
[Special skill: Increases the wearer’s star position by 1 (+5).]
After he finished reading, Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction, “It’s alright. At least now it can give me more star slots.”
He took out the bracelet from his rucksack and put it on his left wrist.
Since his right hand was more dominant, it would be better to use it on his left hand, just to prevent it from getting damaged.
The black bracelet was very thin, only two millimeters wide. If one didn’t look carefully, one would think that there was a black string tied around his wrist.
He looked at the panel again. His physique and star position had changed.
Physique 3 → Physique 15 ( ↑12 )
Remaining Star Slot 4 → Remaining Star Slot 10 ( ↑6 )
His Physique determined a player’s resistance and health. According to the game, this referred to defense and HP.
Although 12 points wasn’t a lot, it still made Ling Yi feel much safer. This was the most reassuring attribute.
And these 10 Star Slots ...
He looked at the [Ice Emperor Summon] in his backpack and felt a little excited.
“How strong can this summoned beast be after I mutated it?”
Ling Yi took a deep breath.
Then, he clicked on [learn] eagerly.
[You have learned the skill ‘Ice Emperor Summon’!]
[Ice Emperor Summoning] was a 10-star skill. After learning it, his remaining 10 star positions were all filled up.
Now, his remaining star position became 0 again.
“Alright, it’s time to officially go and farm some experience.”
Other than the Dream Micro Star, up until now, every mutation had gone exactly as he expected it.
However, even if its mutation potential was lower than expected, the effect of its mutation still met his minimum requirements, which gave him an additional five Star Slots.
It was time to test out his new skills and to continue to level up quickly.
He took out the teleportation talisman from his backpack and used it again.
The second time, he came to the Zephyr Canyon!
...
A warm breeze blew past his body.
The weather in the canyon was pleasant.
Looking at the group of Wind Elementals charging toward him, Ling Yi was about to shout out the words “Ice Emperor summon” when suddenly, a bone-chilling cold came from behind him.
Ling Yi was shocked and quickly turned around.
Behind him, a two-meter-tall, one-meter-wide, oval-shaped, snow-white mirror of light had appeared in the air.
A cold mist was being emitted from the mirror as if a world of ice was just beyond its glassy surface.
“Don’t tell me...” Ling Yi’s eyes widened in shock. He realized that this was most likely his “Ice Emperor Summon”.
But… He hadn’t activated it yet. Although… The beast doesn’t seem to have been unleashed yet either.
Before he could think about it, a white, crystal clear foot poked out of the mirror.
The foot paused in the air for a moment, then stepped on the ground lightly.
It?steps?in the air.
‘It can fly!?‘ This simple step made Ling Yi’s eyes light up.
He felt joy in his heart.
And in the next moment, the summoned beast he called “Ice Queen” walked out of the mirror.
