Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website!

Unknown if it was because of Xiao Min's words, but the water steward seemed to be in a hurry to leave after finishing her statement.
Ye Zhongming shot a glance at Xiao Min but said nothing.
Looking at the remains of the undead lifeforms not far away, the water steward's eyes flickered. Deep down, she felt that being a craftsman was indeed a good profession, but why didn’t the craftsmen of the five rings society possess skills like Ye Zhongming?
“Equipment rankings?”
To be honest, although this list was provided for free to major factions, it seemed to come at no cost, but its impact was significant. The rankings had been accepted by more and more evolvers and major factions, and the reputation of the five rings society had grown widely because of this list.
The enormous fame brought by this advertising effect was what the five rings society valued the most; it was the foundation of their business.
This effect had already manifested in the competition with the Ogre Chain. Due to their greater fame and recognition, the five rings society had suppressed their opponents in many areas, making evolvers more willing to trade with them.
The acquisition of benefits made the five rings society pay more attention to this list. They were doing everything possible to keep the data on it more detailed and accurate.
The Ogre Chain had also begun to release their rankings, but it hadn’t yet gained any significant traction. The five rings society had taken precautions; they began to be dissatisfied with merely using the list to expand their fame and aimed to make the national rankings the most authoritative!
Only in this way would they not fear competition from any opponent. At that time, the Ogre Chain’s rankings would either have to plagiarize the five rings society's or simply withdraw from this field of competition.
“Indeed, the equipment rankings.” The water steward said, “We discovered a very magical machine somewhere. It has no attack or defense capabilities; its only function is that after paying a certain price, it can display equipment of golden level and above.”
This short sentence shook Ye Zhongming.
How could there be such a type of equipment?
“It’s actually not surprising. No matter what we hold in our hands, whether it’s a gray-level dagger or a seven-colored war knife, they are all not what we originally possessed; they are all... accessories that appeared after the roulette. So having such a machine that can detect roulette equipment across the entire national area or even the planet is not surprising.”
The water steward explained.
To be honest, when she first learned about this, she found it hard to believe, but the reality had made her submit to the magic of roulette equipment.
“All equipment... can be detected?” Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes. Although his expression didn’t change much, he felt a bit wary inside.
Doesn’t this mean everything about him will be exposed?
In future battles, others would know his equipment inside and out, making things very difficult.
“Yes, everything can be.” The water steward puffed out her chest.
“What about attributes?”
At this moment, Ye Zhongming's voice turned cold as he analyzed the potential impact this might have on him and Cloud Summit.
“Those can also be.”
After saying this, the water steward saw the raised brow of Ye Zhongming and felt a tremor in her heart. She quickly explained, “It’s like this; this machine can only currently detect equipment at the golden level in great detail. It can display specifics like skill data. However, for higher-level equipment, such as seven-colored or purple levels, it cannot do the same. The purple equipment can only show the number of skills, while the seven-colored equipment will only show a few words in the name…”
“You mean, seven-colored equipment has appeared now?” Ye Zhongming keenly caught the hint in the water steward's words.
The water steward hesitated for a moment but still nodded.
