IUD-CHAPTER 78: STIGMA (LV.1)

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.

…

When Fang Li laid eyes on the Moonlight Dagger, his gaze immediately sharpened.

The dagger emitted a shimmering silver glow from its entire length. Its blade boasted an incredibly sleek edge. The hilt bore a distinct crescent moon symbol as if it had been forged from pure moonlight, radiating a captivating aura.

Fang Li's attention was completely captivated by this weapon.

As someone focused on combat and with little prior experience in weapon usage before entering the Main God's Dimension, Fang Li had chosen a dagger to complement his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

While longer weapons may offer a range advantage, it was challenging for someone like Fang Li, lacking weapon expertise, to accurately strike the Death Line with such a weapon.

Thus, he opted for a dagger, which offered a shorter length, increasing the chances of precise strikes.

Throughout his adventures in the Dungeon World, Fang Li had become proficient in various methods of killing, and his proficiency with the dagger had grown.

"Since that's the case, I might as well stick with a familiar weapon."

With that in mind, Fang Li immediately set his sights on the Moonlight Dagger before him.

"Rather than prioritizing attack power, increasing attack speed is more suited to my style. Coupled with the afterimage effect that slows down opponents' reactions, it becomes a fatal flaw in the presence of my Mystic Eyes."

Without much hesitation, Fang Li decided to participate in the auction for the Moonlight Dagger.

He clicked on the image of the Moonlight Dagger on the interface, revealing its current auction status.

The bidding price for the dagger was steadily rising.

2000…

2100…

2200…

2500…

Fang Li found himself momentarily stunned.

"Has it already surpassed 3000 Exchange Points?"

He hadn't anticipated that a niche weapon like a dagger would increase in value so quickly.

Nevertheless, Fang Li raised the bid to 3500 Exchange Points. The numbers on the bidding sheet ceased their ascent.

After a brief pause, the numbers jumped again, this time reaching 3600.

Observing this situation, Fang Li smiled faintly and swiftly raised the bid to 3800.

Once again, the numbers on the bidding sheet came to a halt.

Clearly, nobody expected such a swift and determined bid.

With no other bidders in sight, the countdown appeared on the interface in front of Fang Li.

If no further bids were placed within the next ten seconds, the Moonlight Dagger would become his.

However, as the countdown reached 3, the number on the bidding sheet increased once more, reaching 3900.

Notably, Fang Li remained unfazed by this development and maintained his smile.

"It took them quite a while to raise the bid, and they only increased it by 100 Exchange Points. This should be the limit for the current bidder."

With that thought in mind, Fang Li confidently raised the bid to 4000.

This time, the bidding sheet remained still.

Then, the Main Divine Envoy seated beside Fang Li began to loudly curse.

"Even a niche weapon like a dagger is being bid up to 4000 Exchange Points. Who is this nouveau riche?"

Fang Li nearly choked on his own saliva when he heard this. He never expected that the person competing with him was seated right next to him. It was truly a surprise.

But then again, it was a matter of the highest bidder prevailing, and the wealthy could afford to be extravagant. Disregarding the grumbling Main Divine Envoy beside him, Fang Li resumed browsing for Equipment with a relaxed expression, in search of more treasures.

To his delight, he stumbled upon another valuable find.

…

Snowflake Ring

Category: Accessory

Rank: Fifth-Rank

Effect: All Attributes +5

…

Snowflake Ring, with just its single attribute enhancement effect, instantly rivaled half of the titles Fang Li had tirelessly obtained. Such a remarkable item couldn't be overlooked by Fang Li.

Naturally, he couldn't miss out on such a valuable item.

In the end, Fang Li spent another 4000 Exchange Points and successfully won the auction for the Snowflake Ring.

Following that, Fang Li proceeded to buy another accessory.

…

Black Ring

Category: Accessory

Rank: Fifth-Rank

Effect: All Attributes +2, equipped with personal space, can be used to store items, space size is 1x1x1.

…

While the attribute enhancement effect wasn't as impressive as the Snowflake Ring, the inclusion of personal space was an essential feature for the main characters of many novels and series in Fang Li's previous life and couldn't be disregarded.

After yet another fierce competition, Fang Li splurged 4000 Exchange Points once more and obtained this bracelet.

In total, Fang Li spent 22,000 Exchange Points to complete his set of Equipment.

Being able to gather all the Equipment during the early stages, with most of them being top grades within the same rank, Fang Li could truly take pride in his achievement.

It should be noted that for any other main Divine Envoy, it would be impossible to assemble such a set of Equipment before reaching the late stage of the Fifth Rank.

Thanks to the bountiful rewards from the first world, Fang Li had successfully bypassed this obstacle and wouldn't have to worry about Equipment issues, at least until he leveled up.

As for the Equipment acquired through the auction, the Main God Space would automatically transfer them to the personal residence of the main Divine Envoy based on their Serial Number, ensuring its security.

"I've spent nearly half of my Exchange Points in one go…"

While this realization brought a sense of relief to Fang Li, he couldn't help but wear a wry smile. However, being able to convert Exchange Points into strength was of utmost importance.

"Now that the Equipment issue is resolved, let's take a look at the Skills."

Fang Li clicked on the Skill interface.

Skill Crystals instantly materialized on the interface, each containing a sealed Skill.

The auction sections provided information about the sealed Skills.

With the Equipment matter settled, Fang Li was also interested in Skills, but with a sense of accomplishment in his heart, he perused this category somewhat casually.

As a result, Fang Li promptly dragged the interface to the top. The Main God Space's settings were user-friendly, with items of greater value ranked higher.

By dragging the interface to the top, Fang Li naturally encountered the most valuable Skill currently being auctioned.

In the next moment, the information about that Skill entered Fang Li's field of view.

…

Stigma (Lv.1)

– Active Skill.

– Increases STR by 100%.

– Increases VIT (Endurance) by 100%.

– Increases AGI (Agility) by 100%.

– Greatly enhances the User's power.

– Usage time and Skill Rank will burden the user.

– Skill Rank can be upgraded.

…

As Fang Li's gaze landed on such a Skill, his casual expression froze instantly, and his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but lean closer to the interface.

After a long while, Fang Li let out a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with determination.

"This Skill, I absolutely must obtain it!"
