CHAPTER TEXT:
"Tomorrow's Outbreak~~~"
Regarding equipment attributes, Ye Zhongming had seen various ones before, such as the Rong Clan Holy Armor's set attributes, the modified attributes of the holy garment, and the attributes of the Black Solid Set. He acknowledged that they were all excellent, even top-notch.
However, equipment sets always had their limitations and specific restrictions. For instance, the Black Solid Set was specially designed for battle beasts, while the modified Rong Clan Holy Armor became exclusive to certain professions. Only in such cases could the set attributes be maximally utilized.
But this time was different; Ye Zhongming witnessed the alternative 'power' of a national specialty.
Increased strength, defense, recovery ability, earth attribute capability, reduced damage from earth attribute skills, and diminished gravitational effects... Just this passive ability, any one of them could elevate a piece of equipment to the top-tier status.
These were percentage-based boosts, meaning that as the survivor's evolutionary strength increased, these attributes would significantly rise, rendering them perpetually relevant and not outdated.
One already formidable attribute was concentrated in a single ability, and even Ye Zhongming couldn't help but be moved upon seeing it.
Even more impressive was the set attribute, which included the latter part of the earth's nourishment. Every one thousand four hundred and fifty hours, one could receive a gift of earth properties.
This gift was quite magical, as its source was easy to guess—only the land beneath one's feet—but comprehending it was not straightforward.
Because any piece of earth equipment displayed no properties for absorbing or storing energy, how was this energy absorbed? Where was it stored?
However, this wasn't the crux of the issue. The key was that this energy could accomplish numerous tasks.
For example, it could heal injuries, restore mental strength, repair equipment, eliminate negative states, and remove mark-type skills. If these methods weren't chosen or if there was leftover energy after using them, one could utilize the energy to enhance oneself, increasing the base values of all attributes.
This was the core of this ability!
Not to mention healing injuries, repairing damaged equipment, and other tasks typically requiring potions or specialized professions, the fact that this energy could universally enhance the base values of all attributes was simply a divine skill!
The cooldown time was extraordinarily long, close to one thousand five hundred hours, which posed a minor obstacle. Yet from another perspective, it indicated that this gained energy wouldn't be a mere trickle but rather an astonishing amount. Once all this energy was used to enhance one's body, how many benefits would it bring?
Moreover, this enhancement wasn't a one-time occurrence. As long as one continuously possessed the Earth Set, one could receive an enhancement every two months, which would amount to six times in a year, and sixty times in ten years...
Ye Zhongming dared not imagine further.
He understood that as long as the set remained, he would become increasingly powerful!
With the sniper rifle resting on his lap, feeling the benefits brought by the Earth Set, Ye Zhongming decided to activate the earth gift.
This space held some energy captive, and he could only rely on his body for combat. If he could enhance his body at this moment, it would undoubtedly strengthen his capabilities, making the subsequent battles smoother.
Upon activating this ability, Ye Zhongming immediately felt a surge of powerful energy rising from beneath him, directly flooding into his mind. This force was so overwhelming that it caused him to feel pain all over.
Ye Zhongming knew what he needed to do. He first repaired a piece of equipment that had remained damaged since he obtained it—the Lightwave Defense Garment.
This piece of equipment, acquired from the competition of death roulette, was among the highest level of protective gear available at the time; unfortunately, it was a damaged finished product that needed repair. The Treasure-Holding Gourd lacked sufficient levels, and Ye Zhongming didn't know how to repair it, so he had to set it aside for the time being.
