542: Chapter 422: Strengthening Stone Gift Pack (Two in One) _2 542: Chapter 422: Strengthening Stone Gift Pack (Two in One) _2 “You again?”
He glared, feeling sowhat frustrated.
Once again, he opened the attribute panel of the Eye of the Starry Sky and saw that the Skill Enhancent level had beco 2.
At the bottom, a new attribute had been added:
Accelerated Absorption: Absorption speed increased by 100%.
“This…
doesn’t seem very useful, does it?
It ans instead of absorbing one point per second, now I absorb two points per second?”
Zhang Xiaoman felt a bit powerless to complain.
Although this ability increased his absorption speed, it wasn’t very useful for him at the mont.
However, there was nothing he could do since what was done could not be undone.
He had no choice but to accept it and quickly proceed to the next enhancent.
He crushed another Strengthening Stone, but the System’s notification left him sowhat speechless.
Once again, the random selection landed on the Eye of the Starry Sky Skill.
Zhang Xiaoman clutched his forehead, only now realizing that he couldn’t really bla the System for always randomizing this Skill.
After all, Strengthening Stones could only enhance Skills or items tagged as “not upgradable”, and considering all his Abilities, only two t this condition—with a 50% probability, it would be hard not to randomize it.
“Hmm…
What Ability will it be this ti?
Range?
Or duration?”
Zhang Xiaoman sighed and shifted his gaze back to his attribute panel.
“Eye of the Starry Sky…
has added an attribute…
hmm…
it’s called Plunder?”
[Plunder]: When absorbing the corpses of Alien Species, you can plunder all the Essence they lost in the previous 1 minute.
“Huh?
This seems pretty good.”
Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but squint at the sight of this attribute.
If he hadn’t misunderstood, with this attribute, as long as he absorbed within 1 minute of killing a monster, he would be able to perfectly extract all of its Essence and maximize the acquisition of points.
This was without a doubt a very good ability, effectively increasing the amount of points he could absorb.
According to Zhang Xiaoman’s speculation, when an Alien Species dies, the Essence contained within its body would be absorbed by the universe.
If the corpse was severely damaged, this process would markedly accelerate.
Which ans, if he killed a monster and didn’t absorb for a long ti, he might not be able to do so later.
Zhang Xiaoman still rembered that when he killed Iron Head Fish, the slight delay before absorbing resulted in only a pitiful amount of points left when he got back to it.
“What kind of na is Plunder?
It’s the universe that stole my points, I’m just taking them back…”
He muttered sarcastically, though he was still quite pleased internally.
One minute wasn’t a long ti, but every point recovered mattered and could add up.
Moreover, he could likely strengthen this attribute in the future.
After several enhancents, he might achieve perfect absorption.
After all, points were sothing he would never consider too many of.
After a few rounds of enhancent, he finally got a satisfying result.
Zhang Xiaoman’s mood also improved a lot.
He then took out the remaining two Strengthening Stones, used force with both hands, and crushed them both.
“Random enhancent in progress, please wait…”
“Enhancent complete!
Ultimate Item—North Star has been successfully strengthened!
Enhancent effect: Energy reduction.”
“Random enhancent in progress, please wait…”
“Enhancent complete!
Ultimate Item—North Star has been successfully strengthened!
Enhancent effect: Permanent fixating.”
Looking at the results, Zhang Xiaoman was very pleased.
Two enhancents had finally landed on the item he wanted most.
The first one was Energy reduction, which presumably applied to a particular Skill.
Zhang Xiaoman searched through the abilities associated with the North Star Ring and found changes in the Eternal Veil.
“I’m…
the original 20 points of Energy consumption dropped to 0?
Just this?”
Upon seeing the attribute panel, he felt as though he had been cheated.
The Eternal Veil Skill didn’t change at all, except for the pure reduction of 20 points of Energy required to activate the Skill, now proudly becoming a Skill without any Energy consumption.
But was he soone struggling with that 20 points of Energy?
Feeling cheated, Zhang Xiaoman then focused on the second enhancent.
[Master of the Stars]
〖Ultimate〗
not upgradable
Master of the Stars: Possesses all abilities of other Star Rings.
Current activation: 4/6
Master of the Mind—Energy damage inflicted is doubled; immune to all psychic attacks.
Master of Life—All your recovery effects are doubled, immune to toxin effects.
Shadow Lord—Nothing can track you; immune to all curse-type attacks.
(Permanently solidified)
Guardian Master—All damage received is halved; immune to all Law-type attacks.
(Permanently solidified)
—Endless terminal, eternal dominator, the starry sky calls out your na, Master of the Stars!
Permanently solidified, this directly solidified an ability from the Eternal Star Realm, and Zhang Xiaoman imdiately felt he got a huge bargain.
Of course, the so-called huge bargain was relative to him only.
If he were to give away all the rings right now, then this solidified effect would beco aningless.
However, what suits him best is always the best, and for Zhang Xiaoman, this attribute was a great surprise for the ti being.
This ti, the new ability he gained was from the Holy Star Ring, nad Guardian Master, not only could it reduce all damage taken by half, but it also made him immune to Law-type attacks.
Zhang Xiaoman had not yet encountered what Law-type attacks were, but he liked the idea of all damage being halved very much.
Now, with Guardian Master combined with Magic Shield, and the effects of the Iron Armor Spell, he felt that his defensive power must have increased to a very high level.
As for how high, since there had not been a test yet, it remained to be seen.
However, according to his estimation, previously about 20 points of Dark Energy were sufficient to block a shot from a police handgun.
Now, if a bullet were to be fired at him, he felt that he probably wouldn’t even be penetrated by it.
After all, the effect of the Iron Armor Spell was decent, sothing Zhang Xiaoman knew.
This skill, which also cost about as much Dark Energy and Constitution Enhancent, specialized in defense, was capable of blocking that kind of ordinary handgun bullet.
“Not bad, this ti, it has added an extra layer of insurance for my upcoming action in Sheep Village.”
He was in good spirits; having used the five Strengthening Stones, he finally had an ability that could make a significant difference in combat.
After enhancing his power, Zhang Xiaoman stepped out from the Original Realm Space.
By now, it was alti, and they probably all went to the canteen to eat.
He went to his office, where several dishes had already been arranged on a small round table.
These had been specially brought over by Ye Fei.
Zhang Xiaoman now seldom went to the canteen at alti.
With the developnt of the Star Alliance, many newcors arrived, and everyone held great reverence for him as the Star Lord.
So, whenever he went to eat, the others in the canteen would feel sowhat nervous, and nobody dared speak loudly, which wasn’t what he wished to see.
Besides, as the leader of an Extraordinary Organization, it wouldn’t be quite right for Zhang Xiaoman to always join everyone for als in the canteen, despite it being approachable.
Thus, he simply had Ye Fei and the others cook separately for him.
“Hmm, today’s food tastes really good.
This fish must have been caught in Seven-star Lake, right?
The flavor is indeed excellent.
It seems Ye Fei’s culinary skills have improved again.”
Now in a good mood, Zhang Xiaoman found the food particularly delicious, quickly clearing all the dishes on the table.
“Now that I’m done eating, it’s ti to get down to business…”
He casually cast a Cleaning Spell, which instantly made all the dishes and utensils on the table spotless, then stood up and opened his wristwatch.
“Star Rank, send out a notification imdiately.
All Holy Temple mbers on the island, except those on a mission, gather at the Inheritance Hall in one hour.
I have a mission to announce.”
PS: So skills were written a long ti ago, and many may have forgotten them, so I’m posting the attribute panel to prevent confusion.
