Beep beep.
Bai Pu’s wristwatch, the sound of a video call rang.
Bai Pu glanced at the number; it was Li Ling.
"What’s up?"
"Gangxin, didn’t you ask last ti to keep an eye out for items for the Enhanced Leader Treasure Chest? I’ve got a lead here."
In the video, Li Ling was wearing a small suit, looking quite formal, and she sent Bai Pu a screenshot.
[High-Energy Scanner: B-level Silver Artifact. After use, it can scan spoils treasure chests below the Lord Level (not including Lord Level), but the spoils card itself will not leave any mark. Disappears after use.]
Bai Pu was invigorated: "Where did it co from? Does the other party have any trade demands?"
Li Ling replied, "The other party only wants spiritual points, asking for 100,000."
One hundred thousand spiritual points were a sky-high price for many Awakened.
"100,000 spiritual points is doable. But when you negotiate, pay a little attention to strategy; don’t let them suddenly back out and raise the price." Bai Pu said.
Li Ling nodded in understanding: "Don’t worry, I have experience in this area."
After hanging up the video call, Bai Pu felt much better.
Soon he would be able to open the treasure chest of King Christian IV of Denmark and draw that Danish royal heritage war axe—Asrat!
This heritage war axe itself wasn’t much, but it might bring Bai Pu benefits related to the talent tree, much like the "Rune Text Clay Tablet."
In a cheerful mood, Bai Pu clicked on the Reputation Roulette (B-level) and proceeded with drawing.
Whoosh—
The pointer spun rapidly, and after Bai Pu shouted "stop," it slowly ca to a halt.
Finally, the pointer landed in the "Equipnt" zone.
[You have acquired the equipnt: Steam-Powered Bionic Boxing Gloves.]
The light dissipated, and a pair of gloves floated in front of Bai Pu. These gloves resembled human hands, very thin, with a refined tallic sheen on the back of the hand and the knuckles.
Bai Pu pressed his palm against them, and the attributes of the gloves imdiately appeared.
[Steam-Powered Bionic Boxing Gloves (Sealed)]
[Equipnt Quality: Hero Level (Gold)]
[Equipnt Requirent: Basic Power 30, Basic Endurance 30]
[Equipnt Location: Hands]
[Attributes: Power 8; Hand Armor 20]
[Additional Skill: Steam Power: Passive, enhances attack power by an additional 15 points when attacking empty-handed. Power assessnt for throwing skills 15. When actively activated, delivers a steam heavy punch, causing moderate damage and destroying the target’s shield. Cooldown ti 12 hours.]
[Durability: 60/60]
[Explanation: Steam and steel are more advanced than flesh and blood!]
This equipnt was clearly more suitable for professions like Martial Monk, Fighter Family, and others specializing in empty-handed combat. Bai Pu inadvertently thought of soone, that was Crazy Zen.
Crazy Zen originally could have been Bai Pu’s friend, but his ambitious desire to revive the Xu Family destined them not to travel the sa path.
Bai Pu equipped these gloves himself. Without saying much, just the 8 power was a remarkable boost. Anyway, this thing had bionic skin and did not affect Bai Pu’s use of weapon equipnt, though it didn’t provide the bonus for empty-handed attacks while using weapons.
"My Bag of Limited Wishes... still has about ten days of validity left. At present, I haven’t obtained the rest of the Immortal King set’s components. Perhaps when it’s ti to wish, I’ll only be able to wish for one set component."
Bai Pu now had plenty of Radiant Dragon Stones, enough to serve as a base material for upgrading the set.
However, when Bai Pu attempted an upgrade, he received a prompt from the Spirit Realm Will that the [Immortal King’s Set] must be fully assembled with four pieces before the base material can be upgraded.
Bai Pu could only think of ways to acquire them, but unfortunately, when Li Ling inquired with several forces that owned components of the Immortal King Set, either they already repeated the three pieces Bai Pu had or regarded them as non-sellable items and were collecting them, too.
Speaking of non-repeating pieces, there were indeed two, aside from the one [Immortal King’s Iron Breastplate] held by Xilou in the Superstar Alliance, there was also one [Immortal King’s Iron Shin Guards].
But Superstar Alliance definitely wouldn’t trade with Bai Pu, be it over past grudges or due to the limitations from the Divine Envoy.
Another faction that owned the [Immortal King’s Iron Shin Guards] had already completed the four-piece set, and they were being worn by an Advanced Awakened mber, so trading with Bai Pu was impossible.
Suddenly, Bai Pu saw a prompt from the Spirit Realm Will in his view:
[Your teammate: Blood Spider is attempting to summon you to her current world: Heart Demon: Great Wilderness River World. Based on the spiritual points spent by Blood Spider, this teleportation will be valid for 8 hours.]
[Within 8 hours, you can open the teleportation channel to Heart Demon: Great Wilderness River World, and only you can pass through.]
"8 hours? Seems it’s not urgent."
Bai Pu and Blood Spider had an agreent that if there was an ergency, they would choose the shortest validity period, which was the 30-minute one.
If he saw the 30-minute validity, it would an Blood Spider was under pursuit by a powerful enemy, and not a mont could be spared. Bai Pu would respond to the teleport imdiately, with no ti to handle real-world matters except perhaps leaving a note for Li Ling.
Since there was an 8-hour validity, it wasn’t so urgent; at least Blood Spider wasn’t in life-threatening danger in the short term.
Bai Pu thought for a mont and took out the Bag of Limited Wishes, opting to use it directly.
He reached inside the bag, imagining a piece of equipnt in his mind.
The bag glowed.
Bai Pu’s palm touched an object, and he quickly pulled it out.
Instantly, the [Bag of Limited Wishes] dissipated like a stream of particles. A new piece of equipnt, radiating green light, appeared in Bai Pu’s hand.
[Immortal King’s Iron Shin Guards (Sealed)]
[Equipnt Quality: Green (Set)]
[Equipnt Requirent: Basic Power 40]
[Equipnt Location: Feet]
[Attributes: Foot Armor 30, Movent Speed 7; Power 4, Endurance 8]
[Additional Skill 1: Unshakable: Passive, wearer gains a 25-point power assessnt bonus (passive).]
[Additional Skill 2: Earth Shatter: Wearer stomps the ground heavily, causing a shattering effect on the surrounding earth for 30 seconds. Enemies within the Earth Shatter range receive continuous shock damage. Cooldown ti 12 hours.]
[Durability: 80/80]
[Explanation: Mountains leveled, seas dried, only I remain immortal.]
"Huh... These shoes are a bit different from the other three set components I already have."
Bai Pu noticed instantly the 40 basic power equipnt requirent, and the significantly improved additional attributes, along with a high durability, reaching the level of outstanding equipnt produced in the Advanced Spirit Realm.
Clearly, the base material for these shoes wasn’t ordinary.
Could be a top-grade base material!
Essentially equivalent to having been upgraded with Radiant Dragon Stone directly.
After all, the [Bag of Limited Wishes] was worth 185 wish power, equivalent to 185,000 spiritual points. In line with the Spirit Realm Will’s usual conservative valuation of equipnt, the price of a single piece of green set is certainly not below 185,000 spiritual points.
Thus, it enhanced the base material quality of the set.
"Having t the four-piece set requirent, I should upgrade the other three set pieces with Radiant Dragon Stone together... as long as the ti doesn’t exceed 8 hours."
