[Item Name: Fallen Cross] [Description: A greedy Priest attempted to use the power of the Holy Church to sacrifice and resurrect his undead girlfriend. After failing, his Dao heart collapsed, and the cross was cursed and contaminated.] [Skill: Purify] [Using Purify will greatly restrain evil spirits. Under the radiance of holy light, it burns those corrupted souls and can purify the dark side of human nature. It cannot be used on the user (the degree of purification depends on the user's level).] [Cost: Using Purify will trigger a backlash of painful emotions from the loss of a loved one. Frequent use may cause schizophrenia.] [Remarks: Please do not be a slave to your emotions, although we often get carried away.]

The introduction was much shorter than that of the 'Cursed Red Skirt'.

The item description for the 'Cursed Red Skirt' was definitely not something that could be summarized in one or two lines.

It seemed that the Elder Priest's item was not as high quality as the 'Cursed Red Skirt'.

The next moment, Qin Shang understood after a quick thought.

This thing was most likely a dungeon reward the Elder Priest received when clearing the [Forty Thousand Train], right?

The information in the description was probably coupled with the background story of the [Death Train]. It was unlikely to be a coincidence.

Moreover, the effect of the [Purify] skill had a significant restraining effect on evil spirits.

The Elder Priest could have completely used it in Carriage No. 3.

At the very least, he wouldn't have been chased by the spectral shadow like a stray dog.

Another reason the Elder Priest died to the spectral shadow when they last fought was.

It was that the old man didn't have time to complete the skill's casting animation.

Coupled with the backlash from the recently used skill, the [Purify] he released probably couldn't reach its peak effectiveness...

At the same time, Qin Shang also glanced at the consumables he received as a reward when he cleared the dungeon.

[Holy Cross (Consumable); A cross from the Holy Church] [Function; Purify] [Using Purify will greatly restrain evil spirits. Under the radiance of holy light, it burns those corrupted souls and can purify the dark side of human nature. It cannot be used on the user (only effective against enemies at the Order Realm level).] [Cost; As it is a consumable, there is no cost.]

Huh!?

The description for this item seemed identical to the Fallen Cross?

But it seemed even more awesome...

Although the functions were similar, the Holy Cross consumable clearly indicated its power level.

It directly told the player that it could target evil spirits or players below level 3.

This meant that if he encountered a boss in a dungeon in the future, he wouldn't have to panic against anything below level 3.

"Hiss! No wonder in Carriage No. 3, even though the Elder Priest and the Sheriff didn't notice 'El's' rule about attacking passengers, they were still unharmed after being attacked by 'El'."

"They even managed to drive the vengeful spirit away for a while..."

I get it, the Elder Priest probably had this before entering the dungeon.

Qin Shang also remembered the Elder Priest saying at the time.

It was a consumable, and he didn't have any more in stock...

Consumables like the [Holy Cross] might be given as consumable rewards in any dungeon whose background story was related to the Priest.

So, before entering the [Death Train], the Elder Priest had one or two [Holy Crosses] in stock.

However, he used them all up in Carriage No. 3.

During the settlement phase, because he cleared the [Death Train] and was also the Team Leader, he received item rewards as well.

Thus, he obtained this [Fallen Cross].

Its function was similar to the consumable version of the [Holy Cross], but it could be used continuously.

At the same time, seeing the item Qin Shang took out, the Red-robed Cult Master merely glanced at it casually when driving and then withdrew her gaze.

With the Red-robed Cult Master's knowledge, she could naturally tell at a glance that the red skirt Qin Shang took out was no ordinary item.

"It really is an item..."

The next moment, she freed one hand to drive while reaching out with the other to touch Qin Shang's red skirt.

Qin Shang's expression stiffened.

Seeing this woman's jade hand fumbling around impudently, he immediately lost his temper.

Who knew if she would go for his 'eggs' if she fumbled a bit more.

He quickly threw the red skirt onto the woman.

The Red-robed Cult Master then chuckled and picked up the thin red skirt.

She thought to herself, this kid was so calm and collected just now, but unexpectedly he was a shy young man who couldn't handle teasing.

In just over ten seconds, her attention shifted from Qin Shang to the red skirt, her eyes widening in surprise.

"A Priest-class item with Void abilities that ignores physical attacks? And it even comes with an item skill?"

"This isn't the reward for a player in the Ordered realm; even many players in the Order realm wouldn't have such a treasure."

Huh!?

Qin Shang's heart leaped at her words.

The Red-robed Cult Master had been a Path of the Gods player for a considerable time.

Her level was at least in the Order realm.

The reward for a newbie player like himself clearing a beginner dungeon was eliciting such an expression from an experienced Order realm player.

Qin Shang immediately realized he had likely struck gold.

The Red-robed Cult Master harbored no ulterior thoughts. After checking the item's attributes, she returned the red skirt to Qin Shang without hesitation.

For a fleeting moment, Qin Shang noticed a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

He almost thought the woman had taken a liking to the 'Cursed Red Skirt.'

As if reading Qin Shang's thoughts, the woman softly said, "Items from the Ordered realm don't offer much help to players in the Order realm."

"Although the item's skill and uniqueness are rare even in the Order realm, making it hard to replace."

"However, in true Order realm dungeons, or in the eyes of Order realm players, these skills are somewhat redundant."

"Except for the passive skill, Rollback, which traps the player in a time loop, offering a bit more room for error during dungeon exploration."

After speaking, the Red-robed Cult Master added, "However, as a Con artist, this skill will become rather redundant once you reach level two."

"Of course, the five seconds of Void immunity to physical attacks is still quite powerful..."

With that, the Red-robed Cult Master gave a charming smile and exclaimed with a tut, "Now I'm even more interested in the dungeon where you met 'Grandpa Niu'!"

"It seems to be at least a corrupted A-rank dungeon; otherwise, it wouldn't drop such an exceptionally good item."

"And for a newbie to clear a dungeon of this caliber, you've certainly got some skills, kid."

It was indeed a corrupted dungeon, but not A-rank, it was B-rank...

Qin Shang replied in his mind.

The next moment, the Red-robed Cult Master didn't dwell on the dungeon's details and continued, "Since you have an item too, I'll take this opportunity to explain some common knowledge about items..."

"When using an item, you need to focus your attention on it, like your red skirt."

"Activating the second form's skill by wearing it isn't complicated. You don't even need to physically put it on. You can try it... just a thought, like imagining yourself wearing the skirt, and it will automatically be worn by you."

"Yes, just like that..."

As she spoke, the Red-robed Cult Master smiled playfully, casting a teasing glance at Qin Shang in the passenger seat.

Hearing the woman's explanation, Qin Shang subconsciously imagined himself wearing the red skirt.

Before he could react, a splash of crimson appeared in his vision.

He then looked down, his face completely flushing red.

The 'Cursed Red Skirt' was now on him...

The Red-robed Cult Master's teasing gaze was directed at this very sight.

So this was how items were used!

Damn, this is so embarrassing...

His first time cross-dressing in life, and someone actually saw him...

However, after putting on the 'Cursed Red Skirt,' Qin Shang's pale blue fluorescent screen displayed two new skills.

They were [Void] and [Night Vision].

Both had a five-minute cooldown.

Void was likely the skill that made the skirt grant immunity to physical attacks.

[Night Vision] was a Priest skill.

The next time he explored a dungeon, he wouldn't have to worry about the environment being too dark and fumbling around without a Priest teammate.

It was just that the design of this red skirt was too embarrassing.

If it were a multiplayer dungeon, having Qin Shang cross-dress in public...

Psychologically speaking, as a straight-laced guy, he instinctively felt some resistance.

Immediately, Qin Shang willed it and removed the skirt.

He then re-communicated with his Character Card to put the 'red skirt' back into his inventory.

"The usage methods for other types of items are basically similar."

"Depending on their different functions and forms, you just need to imagine the scenario of using them, and the item will immediately appear in the corresponding position."
