[You have consumed 3400 Evolution Points. Remaining: 22 points.]
[Greedy Hand (Legendary → Mythical): 500% chance to receive an additional loot drop. The additional loot has a 100% chance of upgrading by one tier.]
[Legendary Effect: You gain a ‘Greedy Space’ of 100 → 500 slots.]
[Mythical Added Effect: You can combine 10 items of the same tier (equipment or skill books) into a single higher-tier item (items synthesized this way cannot be used for further synthesis).]
—–
When Qin Feng first saw the system message, he was initially a bit disappointed.
The chances and quantities for obtaining additional loot hadn’t changed, nor had the probability of upgrading loot tiers.
The only difference was that the 100 slots in the Greedy Space had increased to 500.
But the new Mythical-level effect…
…was the ability to synthesize higher-tier items!
Even though it required ten items to create one, for Qin Feng, this was still an extremely overpowered ability!
This meant…
Qin Feng could now get equipment and skill books with a higher tier cap!
“In the past two and a half days, I’ve killed over twenty Platinum bosses and four Emerald bosses.”
“I’ve collected more than a hundred pieces of Emerald-tier loot and over twenty Diamond-tier pieces of equipment and skill books!”
Since Qin Feng’s current gear already had some special effects, he hadn’t changed much in terms of equipment.
He’d only learned a few new assassin skills.
But now…
Diamond-tier equipment and skill books could be combined into epic-tier items!
In Godforsaken Game, the higher the tier of a boss, the rarer it was.
For instance, Diamond-tier bosses were already the strongest bosses below the Epic level, and their numbers were extremely limited.
“The bosses in Godforsaken Game don’t respawn; they’re released…”
“Although I don’t know where they’re released from, the release rate isn’t fast.”
“For Diamond-tier bosses, finding three around a city every month is already pretty good.”
“As for Epic-tier… It’s lucky if a city or two combined finds one a month.”
This shows that even with the Greedy Hand, obtaining high-tier equipment and skill books would not be easy.
The number of bosses was simply too low!
Luckily, Emerald-tier bosses were still relatively common around major cities.
So in the previous life, many guilds relied heavily on Emerald-tier gear, and their strongest skills were usually Emerald-tier as well.
For Qin Feng, though…
He could now use the Greedy Hand’s Synthesis ability to combine Emerald-tier loot into Epic-tier items!
“Since that’s the case…”
“Let’s synthesize first, then convert!”
Qin Feng immediately took out ten Diamond-tier pieces of equipment, each from different classes. He wasn’t too concerned about the class type.
He then used the Greedy Hand’s synthesis ability right away!
—-
[You have consumed 10 Diamond-tier items (e.g., Flesh-Crushing Heavy Hammer, Blazing Arcane Robes, etc.)!]
[You have obtained ‘Jericho’s Frenzied Greatsword (Epic)]!
—-
A warrior-class greatsword.
“This looks… pretty good,” Qin Feng remarked, slightly surprised.
—-
[Jericho’s Frenzied Greatsword (Epic): Warrior-class weapon. Physical Attack +998, Armor Penetration +44%, Skill Range +19%, Base Attack Power +12%, Attack Speed -27%. Required Level: 18]
[Unique Effect: Damage dealt to front-facing targets increased by 119%.]
—-
As for this weapon…
Its front-facing damage was more than doubled!
No wonder it was named after “Jericho.” A real man fights head-on!
Too bad, Qin Feng wasn’t a warrior in this life, and he certainly wouldn’t give this weapon to anyone else.
“Sorry, Jericho.”
Qin Feng felt a little regretful but silently used the ‘Equivalent Exchange’ on the weapon.
—-
[You have lost ‘Jericho’s Frenzied Greatsword (Epic)’.]
[You have obtained ‘Apostle of the Witch: Livia’s Tear (Epic)’]!
—-
Using Equivalent Exchange, Qin Feng transformed the item into something usable by an assassin:
—-
[Apostle of the Witch: Livia’s Tear (Epic): Assassin-class Necklace. All Attributes +99. Required Level: 19]
[Unique Effect: All assassin skills’ levels increased by 7 (can exceed your current level), and reduces the base cooldown time of skills by 20%.]
—-
Qin Feng looked at the attributes and couldn’t help but sigh. No doubt about it—this was Epic-tier gear!
For an assassin player, this would be an explosive boost!
Even for Qin Feng himself, it was an immense improvement.
He immediately equipped the necklace, which looked like a drop of dark water.
—-
[Your ‘Shadow Step’ skill level increased from 10 → 17.]
[Your ‘Backstab Enhancement’ skill level increased from 17 → 24.]
[Your ‘Greedy Hand’ skill level increased from 1 → 8.]
[Your ‘Shadow Slash’ skill level increased from 4 → 11.]
…
—-
A series of system prompts made Qin Feng feel revitalized!
He glanced at the Greedy Hand, which had just evolved to Mythical:
—-
[Greedy Hand (Mythical): Level 1 → 8. 500% → 570% chance of an additional loot drop… You gain 500 → 570 slots of ‘Greedy Space’.]
[Mythical Added Effect: You can combine 10 → 10 items of the same tier into one higher-tier item (items synthesized this way cannot be used for further synthesis).]
—-
The chances for additional loot had increased, and the Greedy Space had expanded.
Moreover, the number of items required for synthesis could change with skill level. Unfortunately, even after a 7-level increase, it hadn’t reached a critical threshold, so it was still a ten-item synthesis.
“If it became nine items, or eight, it would be even more satisfying…”
Qin Feng’s desire for a higher-level Greedy Hand grew stronger.
Of course, the best scenario would be to reach level 45, summon the ‘Judgment Angel Ashashis’ to his hideout, and then all his skills would automatically level up with him.
That would be the ultimate boost for Qin Feng!
The increase in skill levels for his other abilities meant his overall damage output was nearly doubled.
If before, he could easily take down Platinum bosses…
Now, he could probably even wipe out Emerald-tier bosses in one hit!
The level-ups had improved his various attributes, including stealth attack, backstab damage, and skill-added effects!
And, don’t forget, the 20% reduction in base cooldown!
This was a cooldown property independent of Cooldown Speed, and despite only being 20%, the long-term effect would be far more powerful than a 100% Cooldown Speed boost.
With the base cooldown reduction, the final cooldown would first apply the base reduction, and then the cooldown speed would be calculated.
For example, Shadow Slash had a base cooldown of 12 seconds.
Originally, with Qin Feng’s 369% cooldown speed, the skill’s cooldown would be 2.56 seconds.
Now, with the 20% base cooldown reduction, the final cooldown was shortened to 2.04 seconds!
“I’ve been saving up Evolution Points these past couple of days without evolving any other soul-consuming skills.”
“Next, I can evolve the soul-devouring skills to increase my stats even further.”
“Also, the level…”
Qin Feng glanced at his stats panel.
His level was still 20, but his experience had accumulated enough to reach level 24 directly, and he was not far from 25.
After level 20, the experience required for leveling increases exponentially!
The gap between Qin Feng and other players was widening rapidly.
Qin Feng hadn’t leveled yet because once he did, his Evolution Points from defeating bosses lower than 5 levels below him would decrease…
But today, both the official game team and major guilds like the Sky Dome and Knight’s Temple Guilds had begun exploring further into the ruins, discovering bosses above level 20.
That meant Qin Feng could finally level up!
As for the lower-tier bosses, as players’ overall strength grew, many top-tier teams could handle them without help.
Qin Feng couldn’t be bothered to compete for scraps.
Why not lead the charge and feast on the meat?
Just then…
Qin Feng was observing how his skills had changed after equipping Apostle of the Witch: Livia’s Tear, when he received a private message from the player “Late Night Light Rain.”
[TN: I don’t know who this “Late Night Light Rain” is. It couldbe Lin Liyu the woman who always encounter high tier boss, or the girl who was ordered to kill Qin Feng but sided with qin feng and told who had the plan to kill him]
She excitedly relayed, “Master, I just got a message. Someone found a Diamond-tier boss, called ‘Nightmare Hellflower.’ Are you interested?”
Nightmare Hellflower?
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.
Wasn’t that the same Diamond-tier boss discovered by the North American diplomat Theodore in his previous life?
This boss carried the “Nightmare” affix.
If killed by it, players would be trapped in a nightmare for days, unable to wake up, and could not resurrect in-game!
Even more terrifying, the boss’s vine-like tentacles would hang the player’s body and drain all their tradeable lifespan!
And the area where this boss resided was a “Nightmare Zone” with a time flow speed 10,000 times faster than normal!
Once killed and hung up, there was a very high chance the player wouldn’t make it out alive…
This was the first major disaster event the official game team encountered!
“I thought they’d quieted down after I killed them once.”
“Looks like they’re still not giving up?”
“Well, it’s time to give the world a little shock from the East…”
Qin Feng’s lips curled into a slight smile.
