IUD-CHAPTER 77: EXTRAVAGANT SPLURGING

As mentioned earlier, in Main God Space, Skills cannot be exchanged between Main Divine Envoys. They must visit Dungeon Worlds one by one and strive to learn various Skills to enhance their individual strengths.

However, there are instances where the acquired Skills prove impractical or fail to meet the necessary conditions, rendering them unattainable.

It would already be a huge blow for anyone to obtain a Skill through great difficulties only to find out that it cannot be used. If Main Divine Envoys were to give up after that, wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?

Thus, a special Item is sold in the Main God Space to address this issue.

Skill Crystals: These special items can seal the skills that the user gives up on. By using them on already sealed skills, the user can acquire the skill. They are valued at 5000 Exchange Points.

The skills being auctioned in the auction house are precisely these sealed Skill Crystals.

Therefore, Main Divine Envoys from different Planes have the opportunity to learn skills from the Dungeon Worlds of other Planes.

Fang Li, being a Main Divine Envoy, naturally became interested in skills as part of his strength. However, his first priority is browsing the Equipment category since he lacks it the most.

"Let's directly browse the Fifth-Rank Equipment. After all, I cannot wear any high-rank equipment."

The rank of Main Divine Envoys greatly influences their strength. If their rank is low, it becomes impossible for them to wear high-rank Equipment or upgrade their skills to higher levels.

Taking Fang Li's Slaughterer Skill as an example, it is an upgradable skill.

Skills like this can be upgraded once using Skill Points for each rank promotion of the Main Divine Envoys until reaching the highest First Rank. At that point, the upgradable skill can be upgraded to the highest rank.

Apart from affecting Equipment and Skills, the rank of Main Divine Envoys also influences their Attributes.

A Fifth-Rank Main Divine Envoy can raise their combined Attributes to 100 points. Excluding bonuses from Equipment, Skills, Class, and titles, reaching a total of 100 points for all four Attributes is the limit for a Fifth-Rank Main Divine Envoy.

If one wants to further increase their Attributes, they need to level up. To level up, one of the conditions is to upgrade the combined Attributes to a maximum of 100 points.

After reaching 100 points in combined Attributes, the acting Divine Envoy can start the Promotion Quest. Completing the Quest allows them to level up and reach a higher realm.

Currently, Fang Li only has a meager 9 points in combined Attributes. Without considering bonuses from Titles, he is still far from the maximum of 100 points. Even if he uses all ten free Attribute Points, he would only have 19 points. Leveling up is not a consideration for now.

Therefore, apart from Fifth-Rank Equipment, any other high-rank Equipment, even if looked at, can only cause envy and is not worth considering.

With this in mind, Fang Li begins browsing through the auction items in the Equipment category.

"This one looks promising."

"This one seems suitable as well."

"This one won't do, it's not a good fit for me."

"They even have Equipment like this. Who put it up for auction?"

"So many people are bidding for this item. It must be valuable. I'll place a bid too."

"Oh my, they are aggressively raising the bid. Are they trying to intimidate a rookie like me?"

After careful selection and bidding, Fang Li spends a whole hour and finally chooses four pieces of Equipment.

…

Fimbulvetr Robe

Category: Upper Garment

Rank: Fifth Rank

Effect: Has a certain chance to release a cold attack when attacked, causing a freezing effect.

…

Black Leggings

Category: Lower garment

Rank: Fifth rank

Effect: Restores one-tenth of Stamina every ten minutes.

…

Light Wind Gloves

Category: Hand protection

Rank: Fifth rank

Effect: Increases attack speed by 10% and provides a certain degree of defense.

…

Rotating Steps Boots

Category: Footwear

Rank: Fifth rank

Effect: Increases movement speed by 20%, jump power by 20%, and grants a significant boost in speed during the retreat.

…

A Main Divine Envoy can equip a total of seven pieces of Equipment, including weapons, upper garments, lower garments, hand protection, footwear, and two accessories.

Thus, Fang Li used a total of 10,000 Exchange Points to participate in the auction and acquire four pieces of Equipment: an upper garment, a lower garment, hand protection, and footwear.

The Fimbulvetr Robe cost 3,000 Exchange Points.

The Black Leggings cost 2,000 Exchange Points.

The Light Wind Gloves cost 2,000 Exchange Points.

The Rotating Step Boots cost 3,000 Exchange Points.

Having spent one-fifth of his savings in an instant, Fang Li couldn't help but pause and feel a twinge of embarrassment in his heart.

"I've already spent 10,000 Exchange Points on just four pieces of Equipment. It's evident that Equipment with enhancement effects comes at a high price."

"Just imagine, if it were First-rank Equipment, how much would a complete set cost?"

"No, I can't even fathom it."

Fang Li couldn't help but wryly smile at such thoughts.

He failed to consider that the equipment available for auction were mostly high-quality items within the same rank. Naturally, they wouldn't come cheap.

Setting that aside, the set of Equipment Fang Li acquired would greatly benefit him when worn.

For instance, the hand protection and footwear provided bonuses to attack speed and movement speed, which were precisely what Fang Li needed.

Fang Li was well aware of his role.

He was a speed-type Divine Envoy.

Not just any speed type, but a peak speed type.

With the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li didn't require enhanced attack power. As long as he could perceive the Death Line, a single strike along that line would cause significant damage to anyone or anything, regardless of the opponent's defense.

The same applied to defensive power.

By focusing on speed and honing his skills, who would be able to land a hit on Fang Li once he truly became elusive in the future?

Perhaps specializing in speed would make it challenging for Fang Li to survive in the early stages. However, once his fighting style truly took shape, he would become a Death God capable of entering and leaving at will.

"Of course, I still need a weapon."

After all, even if Fang Li didn't prioritize attack power, many types of equipment in the Main God's Dimension possessed unique effects in various aspects.

"If there's a weapon with a good effect, I should purchase it."

As he thought about that, Fang Li's attention was drawn to something.

Displayed on the auction interface was a weapon currently being bid on.

…

Moonlight Dagger

Category: Weapon

Rank: Fifth rank

Effect: Increases attack speed by 20% and creates afterimages during attacks, causing the target to react slower to some extent.

…

Seeing this weapon, Fang Li's eyes lit up with excitement.
