Chapter 168 - Chapter 168: The Ancestral Gem And The Invincible Level

Ling Yi looked at the effects in detail twice before he finally understood the item.

In simple terms, it was a resource item. When a five-man party gave all the benefits to one person, and the exp and gold coins were distributed by that person, the benefits would be maximized.

In other words, the entire team would have an extra 50% of exp and gold coins!

If he focused on training one person, it would be equivalent to saving half the exp and gold!

‘It’s a pretty good item. As long as I increase the return rate, it’ll be equivalent to a cheat!’

Ling Yi’s gaze shifted down to check its price.

As expected, it was 10 million gold coins.

He then checked the current number of gold coins and Night Stones. After a careful calculation, he realized that if all the Night Stones were exchanged for gold coins, it would be just over ten million.

“Since there are currently no other items that he wants to exchange for the Night Stones… Then I’ll exchange them all for gold coins.”

After completing the exchange, he gritted his teeth and bought the S-grade item.

This is a resource-type item. It can definitely bring him more than 10 million gold coins in return!

Ling Yi firmly believed.

After buying it, he quickly checked the mutation potential of the gem.

[Ancestral Gem — Mutation Potential: Medium]

“Forget it, forget it. I’ll be satisfied as long as the return coefficient is higher… System, mutate!”

[Confirm to mutate [Ancestral Gem]? (16 mutant points required)]

“I’m sure,”

The [Ancestral Gem] in front of him quickly became clear after a moment of blurriness. Ling Yi quickly opened it to take a look.

There was only one change—

Return of 50% → Return of 200%

“Not bad, not bad. It’s a pity that there are only four spots.” Ling Yi nodded, but his face still revealed an obvious smile.

Even if it was only 100%, it was an absolute qualitative change.

200% was even more so!

He quickly went upstairs to the small cubicle, wanting to experience the effects of the [Ancestral Gem] with Lin Shurou.

The latter was currently playing with Ling ‘Er in the spring, and when she saw him, she didn’t shyly cover her body. Instead, she looked at him with curiosity and asked, “What’s wrong? You’re in a hurry.”

“Hehe.”

Ling Yi chuckled and briefly explained the effects of the [Ancestral Gem].

“This… There’s such a thing on God’s Path?” Lin Shurou’s snow-white face was full of surprise.

“Come on!”

He took out the item. It was a smooth, water-blue gem that looked like a cobblestone, and it was extremely bright.

Seeing this, Lin Shurou placed her fair hand on Ling Yi’s palm and interlocked her fingers with his.

Ling ‘Er’s eyes were wide open as she looked at the scene in surprise.

The moment their palms touched, a mysterious force surged into Ling Yi’s heart.

He felt that he could now transfer exp and gold coins to her!

Then he began to try to transfer exp to Shurou— The next second, he saw a blue light flowing from his palm to Lin Shurou’s palm.

“Hey, hey, hey!”

Lin Shurou seemed to have seen something, and her little mouth suddenly opened wide. “I leveled up! It kept rising! Just how much exp did you send over?!”

“One hundred thousand.”

He only had 100,000 exp left in his EXP Pool. If he had known that he would get this item in the future, he would have saved more.

Very quickly, all the exp in his EXP Pool were used on Lin Shurou.

In the next second, a message he had been waiting for finally appeared.

[Ancestral Gem: You have gained 20,2468 exp!]

Ling Yi couldn’t help but smile when he saw this.

Using 101,234 exp to exchange for 202,468 exp was undoubtedly a very profitable deal!

If it wasn’t for the fact that the exp could only be used by himself and couldn’t be used for other operations, he would have transferred it to Lin Shurou again to double it!

“What’s your level?” Ling Yi asked out of curiosity.

“It just rose to 39… I still want to fight in the level 30 – 39 Region rankings.” Lin Shurou had already tried it. After merging with Ling ‘Er, she could enter the arena and fight with other people as usual.

“Regional ranking? Your compatibility?”

“Hehe, it’s already at 60%.”

“So fast? It’s only been a few days and it’s already doubled.”

Ling ‘Er finally found a chance to interject when she heard Ling Yi’s words. She said, “Right now, we’re still in the stage of deepening our understanding of each other. Our compatibility is indeed rising quickly. After this stage, it’ll be more difficult to increase as we go on. There’s even a possibility that we’ll be stuck at 99% for the rest of her life.”

“Oh, I see.”

Ling Yi did a simple calculation in his heart.

A 60% compatibility would increase all of Ling ‘Er’s attributes to 60%. If Ling’ Er’s attributes were 500, then after Ling ‘Er entered Lin Shurou’s body, Lin Shurou’s attributes would increase by 300!

With such high attributes and her Water-type combat Skills, she had a chance of winning the regional ranking.

Seeing Ling Yi in deep thought, Lin Shurou explained, “With Ling ‘Er’s help, I think I can give it a try. If I can reach the invincible stage, then I won’t be killed so quickly in the future when we face an invincible enemy.”

“This… I don’t think it matters, you’re my Support anyway.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Lin Shurou rolled her eyes and said in a serious tone, “The damage of an invincible player is 10 times that of a normal player, but a normal player can only deal 10% of the original damage to an invincible player. The difference is huge!”

“I know. It’s because of this huge gap that it’s called the invincible level… Forget it. Don’t listen to me. At the end of the day, it’s up to you.”

“Oh right,” Ling Yi added, “Since you’ve improved your strength to this level, come with me to fight the main road Boss when the sun rises.”

“Ah, no problem!” Lin Shurou readily agreed!

…

When the sun rose and the two of them were still eating breakfast, the doorbell outside the courtyard rang.

Ling Yi walked out of the house and into the courtyard. Through the gap of the large metal door, he saw the Phoenix Sword Saint, Nangong Li, standing outside.

When the other party saw him, she directly said to him outside the big iron gate, “You discovered the function of the statue in the secret realm. I’m here to give you a reward.”

“Oh?”

Hearing that they were here to deliver his reward, Ling Yi immediately quickened his pace and went to open the gate.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Li smiled and continued, “After some discussion, the higher-ups have decided to reward you with a total of one million gold coins,”

“With these, you wouldn’t have to be worried about food and clothing for the rest of your life.”

She stretched out her hand, and an interspatial bag appeared on her palm.

“There,”

She passed the spatial bag to Ling Yi and said, “There’s a million gold coins in here. The interspatial bag is my gift to you.”

“Ah? This…”

“Take it, I still have questions for you.”

Ling Yi’s mouth twitched.

He knew it. Things like giving rewards could be directly posted on the forum chat interface. Why did the general from the headquarters have to come personally?

“What is it?” He asked as he took the interspatial bag.

“It’s not a big deal. It’s just some personal issues, just that…”

Her red eyes quickly glanced around, and a hint of gossip appeared on her delicate face. She asked in a low voice, “What’s your relationship with Yunji? ”

“Huh?”

“Wasn’t she always with you in the dungeon? Don’t tell me you don’t know each other.”

“Oh, yes… Good friend and neighbor, I guess.”

“You guess? You’re not sure?”

“The future is uncertain.”

“So it’s like that…”

Nangong Li nodded her head thoughtfully, then waved her hand and left.
