As soon as his hand grasped the necklace, some information about it appeared in his mind.
"Beginner Meditation Oasis (Upgradeable): Mental power natural recovery speed +25%. Beginner Meditation Exchange (Upgradeable): Absorb magic crystals to replenish mental power, exchange ratio 1 unit of mental power = 5 basic units of magic crystal."
Seeing the attributes that came with the necklace, Ye Zhongming couldn't help but break into a smile. This was like having someone deliver a pillow right when you were sleepy. Just a few hours ago, Ye Zhongming had exhausted his mental power, and he had yet to recover even a quarter of it. As a result, he couldn't use skills from either of his professions, fearing that a misstep would cause his mental power to deplete again, affecting his physical condition.
Now with this necklace, recovering mental power would be much easier. Not only could it increase the recovery speed, but it could also absorb magic crystals to make up for any deficiencies.
In other words, as long as he had magic crystals on hand, he wouldn't have to worry about mental power consumption!
This item, looking at it, shouldn't be classified merely as a white-level equipment, right?!
In Ye Zhongming's impression, equipment that had two skills was usually of epic quality! They were good items that radiated golden or purple glows. He had never heard of a piece of ordinary-level equipment having two skills.
In his previous life, the green-level sniper rifle he possessed only had two attributes and not a single skill! Even so, that rifle had made many in his combat team envious.
When confusion set in, Ye Zhongming calmed down. He quickly noticed something unusual.
Why was the property of this necklace displayed so precisely in his mind?
Fully quantified, this situation was called complete quantification, which only high-level crafting professions could master. In addition, certain scouting skills could also achieve this.
However, Ye Zhongming didn't meet either of these conditions. He had no scouting skills, and his craftsman level wasn't high. Logically, such clear data shouldn't appear.
But reality was contrary; this left him perplexed. After some thought, he could only attribute it to the necklace being somewhat special.
However, Ye Zhongming increasingly felt that the reason this necklace could have two skills might be related to the term "upgradeable."
He had once heard some legends about equipment being upgradable. Unlike professional advancements, upgrading equipment didn't require a promotion scroll but a potion called unsealing liquid. People had once claimed that such upgradable equipment was essentially sealed items, which needed unsealing liquid to fully unleash their power.
However, unsealing liquid was incredibly rare and valuable. The most common models only appeared in small quantities on level five or higher wheels. In his previous life, it was almost priceless; even if some occasionally appeared, they were never within reach of ordinary people, mostly crafted by alchemists and other professions, varying in quality. Whether they could be unsealed depended on luck.
It seemed this equipment fell into the category of upgradable items. To upgrade it, one would need the precious unsealing liquid, making the upgrading difficulty very high, which is why it was classified as white equipment.
Ye Zhongming estimated that if this equipment were upgraded to the highest level, it would definitely be an epic, or even legendary-level equipment!
As for now, while the equipment was good, its help to the wearer wasn't as exaggerated as he had imagined.
Beginner Meditation Oasis was a passive skill, and considering his mental power recovery speed, a 25% increase wasn't much. After depleting all his mental power, relying solely on natural recovery would take about twenty hours. With this passive skill, it would reduce that time by five hours, which was neither too much nor too little.
The other active skill, Beginner Meditation Exchange, made Ye Zhongming feel a bit annoyed after testing it.
