While the Temple of Dawn was bombarding the Posthumous Child King City with powerful equipment outside, the area around Ye Zhongming became neglected.
Of course, this was temporary, as the commotion outside was too loud, and the Guardian of the Sacred Pool and others were at the palace entrance checking the situation.
The demand for the purple crystal ball’s mental energy gradually decreased and approached a halt, which made Ye Zhongming feel relieved. However, for someone with keen senses like him, he felt hesitant.
At this moment, Ye Zhongming had already learned the name of this equipment, but he was unsure if it was the same as before the homogenous enhancement.
“Brown Bone Law Pearl, recognition rate 7%, ability unlocking level three, unlocking ability choices…”
Receiving such a prompt made Ye Zhongming feel utterly confused, as it was different from the roulette equipment on Earth. He didn’t understand what recognition rate meant and why the homogenous enhancement only yielded a mere seven percent. He had no idea what ability unlocking level entailed, whether it was similar to a seal or if there was a difference.
Perhaps this was due to it being equipment from the Blue Secret Realm?
Ye Zhongming set aside his doubts and continued to read the information that came to his consciousness.
“Choice 1: Reflective Body, create a charging doppelgänger with half the physical capabilities of the main body, fully controlled by the main body, which can wear weapons and equipment. If the doppelgänger dies, the main body permanently loses ten percent of its physical attributes. Using the doppelgänger requires charging the Brown Bone Law Pearl, with the charging duration proportional to the intensity of use.”
“Choice 2: Green Contaminated Bottle, modify a bottle-like object to become a container holding green contaminated gas. After charging with the Brown Bone Law Pearl, it can release this gas, creating a death zone. The container's capacity relates to the recognition rate and ability unlocking level.”
“Choice 3: Heavenly Shield, create a massive charging defensive barrier to prevent any form of ranged attack except mental energy attacks. The defense consumes corresponding energy based on the intensity of the attack, and when the energy is zero, the barrier disappears. Charging frequency: once per day.”
“Choice 4: Insufficient recognition rate... Insufficient unlocking level...”
“Choice 5: Insufficient recognition rate... Insufficient unlocking level...”
...
“Choice 10: Insufficient recognition rate... Insufficient unlocking level...”
In addition to the explanations for the abilities themselves, there was additional information about this equipment.
Ye Zhongming glanced at it and felt somewhat emotional.
This equipment was good, but its relationship with recognition rate and ability unlocking level was too significant.
A piece of equipment with ten abilities—this quantity might only be found in equipment of the Sea King Crown's level on Earth. Ye Zhongming speculated that it was the embryo of colorful equipment.
However, despite its goodness, the recognition rate and unlocking level determined that Ye Zhongming could not fully possess this equipment at the moment. This was unprecedented; he couldn’t even put it into his space.
It simply didn’t respond!
The energy required by this equipment was mental energy. To utilize the ten abilities it could possess, he needed to have energy, meaning he had to continuously replenish his mental energy.
Just now, that thing absorbed almost eighty percent of Ye Zhongming’s mental energy; aside from activating it, it was also replenishing some energy.
Ye Zhongming had no doubts about this, as he could clearly feel the energy belonging to other life forms in the Brown Bone Law Pearl when it was charging him. The energy was previously abundant, to the point where even if Ye Zhongming had been drained dry, he couldn’t compare to it.
Ye Zhongming speculated that this object had a previous owner, and that owner was far stronger than him, leaving behind a significant amount of energy in the pearl. He didn’t know how many years had passed, yet it remained so plentiful.
