Thank you, Brother Xiaoming, for the 5888, and thanks to the other brothers as well!
“Type B Treasure Chest (Small).”
When these words appeared, Ye Zhongming thought of the offering box he obtained from the Gate of Sacrifice. It seemed that most of these box-type items were graded using A, B, C, and D.
He opened it directly, and the box disappeared, leaving a beautifully crafted white jade pendant in Ye Zhongming's hand.
“Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant, Ability 1, Spatial Magnetic Field: Creates a magnetic field that causes deviations in metal-based ranged attacks directed at the wearer.”
“Ability 2, Time Charging: The Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant charges over time when not activated. The longer the time, the higher the defensive capability.”
Defensive equipment?
Ye Zhongming felt a little brighter; his earlier mood had lifted somewhat after receiving a damaged piece of equipment.
The difficulty of obtaining defensive gear was significantly higher than that of offensive gear, and good defensive equipment was even rarer. Although this Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant was only of silver grade, both abilities were quite good. The first ability was essentially bulletproof capability, which would be very important later on. Five years into the apocalypse in his past life, almost everyone had a piece of bulletproof gear to avoid unnecessary deaths. Sometimes, it wasn't about having strong abilities; a low-level evolver with a good weapon could take out a high-level evolver from a distance.
Moreover, Ability 2 was what Ye Zhongming valued most about this piece of equipment. As long as the charging time was sufficient, it could effectively withstand a fatal ranged attack!
Of course, he could also see the drawbacks of this equipment from these two abilities: it couldn't withstand consecutive attacks; otherwise, its defensive power would gradually diminish until it became useless.
However, it was understandable; without such a drawback, this piece of equipment, based solely on its two abilities, would surely be worth a green or even blue grade, rather than just silver.
He considered giving this equipment to Park Soo-young, but Teacher Park firmly refused, feeling a bit embarrassed about the resources pouring into her from Cloud Summit Villa recently. She and the others all felt that the person in Cloud Summit who needed defensive equipment the most wasn't Teacher Park, but Ye Zhongming.
In the end, there was no choice; Ye Zhongming had to wear the equipment himself. However, he did give the guardian ring to Park Soo-young, at least providing her with an additional self-defense capability.
With the gain and loss of the first two pieces of equipment, Ye Zhongming picked up the third reward with a bit of anticipation.
Stabilization Statue?
“Stabilization Statue - Fork King: After use, creates a Fork King sculpture at a fixed position. It can be activated as needed to resurrect the statue into the Fork King for battle. Requires magic crystal energy support for use and activation.”
Although the introduction roughly explained the function of this item, specific details like how much magic crystal was needed for use and activation, any level restrictions, and the combat power of the Fork King would have to wait until the time came.
After these three rewards, the challenge concluded. Before they were transmitted back to Roulette Mountain, the brain child and the earth yellow pill approached the corpse of the level seven existence to sniff it. The earth yellow pill soon lost interest, while the brain child didn't care at all, squatting next to the corpse and devouring it.
It had been hungry since Red Hair came to help at Cloud Summit. The previous defensive battle had only slightly satisfied its hunger, and now this guy could finally fill his belly… although the meat was a bit sour.
The scene was somewhat unfamiliar to the people of Cloud Summit Villa, but fortunately, the time came, and everyone was transmitted back.
Ye Zhongming glanced around the platform and found that other factions had basically completed the challenge as well, but their situations were much worse than that of Cloud Summit Villa, with noticeably fewer people, indicating they had suffered losses here.
