Mysticism Can't Save the Unlucky, Spending Can't Change Fate (2-in-1)

The Junior Scavenger Title doesn't offer any stat bonuses like other titles; it's simply an honorary title. It's also specifically noted that when this title is worn, it's "only visible to a specific group of Awakened Individuals."

Bai Xiaowen ignored the title and instead carefully read the description of the Luck Coin.

[Flash's Lucky Coin: Select one of your loot items to obtain a copy. You need to pay the corresponding amount of Psionic Points for an estimate. If you do not have enough Psionic Points, the copying will fail, and the Luck Coin will not be refunded. 1 use, disappears after use.]

Compared to the previous mission reward Luck Coin, two things have changed: first, the restriction of "using it in the level completion settlement screen" has been removed; second, the restriction of "obtained during this Spirit Realm Adventure" has been removed. Of course, the latter is more important.

"Phew... As long as my previous idea succeeds, all the effort will be worthwhile. Since it can be used here, let's test my idea directly."

Bai Xiaowen took a breath and took out an item from his Storage Space.

[Book of Fate Revelation: S-Tier Item. Use to reveal your destiny, making you wiser in your Choice. Hint: Use before opening treasure chests. 1 use available.]

This is a precious S-Tier item obtained from the Elder of the Lobsterfolk, the Shadow Prophet Magik, in the Pale Mire of the Dead Spirit Lake Treasure Ground Space.

Bai Xiaowen used the Flash's Lucky Coin to directly copy the Book of Fate Revelation!

The Luck Coin radiated light, enveloping the Book of Fate Revelation. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi could clearly feel the Psionic Particles converging in waves.

In the void, a ball of light appeared, then gradually solidified. During this process, Bai Xiaowen's Psionic Points points also slowly decreased.

However... Bai Xiaowen now has hundreds of thousands in assets, so he's not worried about failing to replicate it. Even the most unscrupulous Spirit Realm Rules can't overvalue an S-Tier item; a few tens of thousands of Psionic Points would be the maximum.

Moreover, the Spirit Realm Rules tend to be conservative in their valuation of items. This Book of Fate Revelation might fetch an astonishing price at an auction, but the Spirit Realm Rules's pricing rules will not.

Ultimately, the deduction of Psionic Points stopped at 12,000 points.

Spirit Realm Rules Message:

"You have lost the item: Flash's Lucky Coin".

"You have obtained the item: The Book of Fate Revelation."

Two identical Book of Fate Revelation appeared in Bai Xiaowen's hands. Then, Bai Xiaowen took out Ahmose's Treasure Chest and placed it side by side with Moaitaihe's Treasure Chest.

Li Shuyi finally saw through Bai Xiaowen's intentions, and she said in surprise, "You want to..."

"Yes, I plan to use the Book of Fate Revelation to open these two treasure chests and do my best to obtain the pieces of the Venomfang Priest Set!" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.

Li Shuyi asked doubtfully, "Don't the Spirit Realm Rules increase the drop rate of items related to awakened individuals? Since these two are priests, they should be able to drop the other two set pieces, right?"

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "Related items generally refer to quest items... As for set pieces? The Spirit Realm Rules aren't that kind. If you have one set piece, it won't drop other pieces to help you complete the set? That's impossible."

"These two priests are only likely to drop pieces of the Venomfang Priest Set. Considering the abysmal drop rate of the set, it's definitely not a 100% guarantee. Otherwise, the set would be everywhere by now. To be honest, when Tiya dropped the first piece of the Venomfang Priest Set in the Wilderness Zone, along with a clue to the Silent Tongue map... I strongly suspect that it was the result of the Spirit Realm Rules manipulating things behind the scenes."

Li Shuyi was stunned. "Could it be that the Spirit Realm Rules are designed so that you can investigate the Silent Tongue?"

"To be precise, it was to make me destroy the Golden Snake Disc." Bai Xiaowen stroked his chin. "Could we draw some conclusions... that the Spirit Realm Rules, as a program, do not have the authority to directly interfere with figures in the Spirit Realm? Hmm, that's hard to say. Perhaps it's because of the special nature of the Golden Snake Disc that the Spirit Realm Rules are powerless against the Silent Tongue Sect and can only rely on the power of the Awakened."

Li Shuyi shook her head. "Let's put these things aside for now and open the treasure chest first..." She was a little excited, after all, the opportunity to collect more than two pieces of a set was very rare.

Bai Xiaowen smiled as he used the first Book of Fate Revelation, placing his palm on Ahmose's Treasure Chest.

In an instant, Bai Xiaowen's consciousness probed into the treasure chest.

Inside the treasure chest was an illusory space. Bai Xiaowen seemed to "see" beams of light flashing like comets within the illusory space.

By peering through the comet's surface light, one can see its inner layers. There are daggers, robes, boots, scrolls, potion bottles... The comet's light contained within these items varies in intensity; some shines brightly, like a small sun, while others are rather dim.

"These comets... all contain psionic items, which is also the complete list of items that the BOSS Ahmose might drop! The moment the treasure chest is opened, some of them will evolve into golden cards. The brighter the comet, the higher the value of the items it contains."

A sudden realization dawned on Bai Xiaowen; it seemed the Book of Fate Revelation could only help him this far.

The Book of Fate Revelation will help the Awakened One identify the most radiant and valuable item in the treasure chest when opening it, and will also indicate this when selecting gold cards.

Therefore, using the Book of Fate Revelation, S-Tier item, to open Leader Tier Golden Treasure Chest seems a bit wasteful, as it basically only gets you a piece of Gold Equipment. However, sometimes it can lock in the desired piece of Gold Equipment, and that use becomes invaluable.

Take the Bloodstained Treasure Chest obtained by defeating Zhao Zhixiong as an example. If you use the Book of Fate Revelation, it is possible to obtain Zhao Zhixiong's +7 gold weapon: the Falling Star Bow. Of course, the prerequisite is that the Falling Star Bow appears in the list of gold cards. If it doesn't appear at the bottom, then there's nothing anyone can do.

"A piece from the Venomfang Priest Set... it must be equipment! But which piece could it be? Let's rule out the robe for now. Among the remaining pieces, three have a particularly bright glow, suggesting they're likely Heroic Tier equipment of the same tier. A piece from the Venomfang Priest Set is essentially equivalent to Gold Equipment, so it must be one of these three..."

The three pieces of equipment are a crown, a dagger, and boots.

Bai Xiaowen attempted to lock onto three pieces of equipment using his "line of sight," but received a notification that he could only lock onto one item.

Finally, Bai Xiaowen settled on the crown—he glanced at it and found that its style matched the Venomfang Priest Robe he had acquired earlier.

Wow!

The treasure chest was opened, and golden cards appeared. On the back of one of the golden cards, a faint "eye" mark appeared.

Li Shuyi also saw the mark and exclaimed in surprise, "This is the effect of the Book of Fate Revelation? This golden card is a piece of the set?"

"I'm not entirely sure. With the X-ray vision just now, I couldn't see the item's name or specific grade, so I can only make an estimate. This card is a headgear item, and it's the one that most closely resembles a set piece."

Bai Xiaowen clicked on the gold card with the eye icon.

A green light flashed!

"You have obtained the green equipment: Venomfang Priest Crown."

[The Venomfang Priest's Crown (Bind on Equip)]

[Equipment Quality: Set (Green)]

[Equipment Slot: Head]

[Equipment Requirements: Base Strength 20, Base Agility 20]

[Attributes: Agility +3, Constitution +3]

[Additional Skills: None]

[Durability: 35/40]

[Note: Edjo's priests will never betray you.]

"It's out!" Li Shuyi exclaimed happily.

Bai Xiaowen also smiled. Ahmose's Treasure Chest had Battle Rating of C, and this was the only chance to draw it.

Then, Bai Xiaowen used the second volume of the Book of Fate Revelation again, and placed his hand on Moaitaihe's Treasure Chest.

The number of psionic orbs in Moaitaihe's Treasure Chest was significantly greater than in Ahmose's Treasure Chest, making the selection process much more difficult.

Bai Xiaowen first removed the non-equipment psionic orbs, and then removed the headgear and upper armor as well.

The four most radiant psionic gear orbs are shoulder pads, leg armor, boots, and a scepter.

"Which one could it be? If we consider the art style... the pants with snake carvings are the most likely. The Giant Serpent Scepter is also a possibility."

Bai Xiaowen began to ponder; both pieces of equipment seemed to be set items, so which one should he choose?

Finally, Bai Xiaowen settled on the pants.

"It's decided then!"

The reason is simple: Bai Xiaowen doesn't have Battle Specialty with Polearm Weapons. Even if you give him that Giant Serpent Scepter, he can't use it! Why would he specifically train for Polearm Specialty? He would also have to give up his current ranged role, which is not worth the effort.

As for Li Shuyi, although she has Polearm Specialty, it's impossible for her to use a scepter. An agile warrior wielding Polearm Weapons, especially one that emphasizes attack speed, would be too incongruous—after all, the attack speed of Polearm Weapons is very slow.

Since it's hard to distinguish between trousers and a scepter, let's choose the one that works.

With a whoosh, the treasure chest opened, revealing twenty-eight golden cards. The pants that Bai Xiaowen had targeted also appeared in the third card, with the eye pattern on the back faintly visible.

Bai Xiaowen then clicked on the card.

"You have acquired the Gold Equipment: Basha's Entanglement."

[Basha's Entanglement (Bind on Pickup)]

[Equipment Quality: Heroic Tier (Gold)]

[Equipment Slot: Legs]

[Equipment Requirements: Base Agility 20, Base Constitution 20]

[Attributes: Agility +3, Constitution +2, Armor +4]

[Additional Skill: Strangling Assault: Casts a spell in place for 1 second, leaving behind a difficult-to-detect trap. Enemies entering the trap's area will be ensnared by the Soul of the Basha, becoming Imprisonment and taking physical damage equal to 1% of their maximum Life Value per second for 6 seconds. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

[Durability: 41/45]

[Note: An ancient pact is calling, and the soul of the giant python Basha cannot resist.]

"Oh dear!"

Li Shuyi clutched her head and cried out, "Why isn't it a set?!!!!"

Bai Xiaowen also felt a sense of loss, but he understood that there was no use in feeling disappointed or regretful about what had already happened.

"Alright... it seems I'm not destined for the last outfit. These pants are pretty good too, they're top-notch."

First, its attributes are satisfactory, and then it has a decent skill, making it a top-tier Gold Gear. The only drawback is that the skill's activation depends somewhat on the opponent; once triggered, the effect is quite powerful.

"I know the pants are nice, but... I still really want to see the set bonus for the three-piece set," Li Shuyi said sullenly.

"Alright... stop making that face, you can have these pants." Bai Xiaowen remembered that Li Shuyi was wearing blue pants, and with these new clothes, her combat effectiveness would be further enhanced.

"My basic physical condition is not good enough; it's 3 points short," Li Shuyi said.

"It's alright, I have some Constitution Enhancement Potion here." Bai Xiaowen took out a bottle of orange potion and handed it to Li Shuyi.

This medicine is called "Dragon Rhino Physique Potion," also a Tier 1, Level 10 potion, theoretically increasing physique by 5 points, with a purity of 98%.

Although Li Shuyi is an agility-type DPS, she already has enough damage output, and moderately enhancing her survivability would be a good idea.

"You still have two chances to draw cards, let's draw first!" Li Shuyi took the potion and pants, "Maybe I can get the last piece of clothing."

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and smiled. To be honest, the probability was too low. He gestured with his lip. "Go ahead and try your luck."

Li Shuyi clicked on the second gold card.

A green light flickered. Their expressions simultaneously turned from surprise to seriousness. Could it be...?

"You have received food: Juicy Lettuce."

Li Shuyi: "..."

Bai Xiaowen: "..."

This card was undoubtedly a bad one. Holding that bright green lettuce, Li Shuyi almost wanted to throw it on the ground to express her frustration.

"Relax, even with the Boss Chest, you can't get Gold Equipment every time, right?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "There's still one last draw, choose."

Li Shuyi pouted and pointed to the last of the remaining 26 gold cards. "That's it."

A fingertip touched the back of the gold card, and the card flipped over.

The golden light receded, and then a green light shone forth.

Bai Xiaowen's smile froze. That unsettling light... it seemed somewhat familiar!

"You have obtained a green item: the Venomfang Priest Staff."

"That's fantastic!" Li Shuyi, who had been half-squatting to draw a card, jumped up excitedly after seeing that she had drawn a piece of the set.

"Yes... it's really amazing." Bai Xiaowen's expression changed again as he looked at Li Shuyi. First, a water-based draw, then a divine draw to turn the tables... this is definitely a script of a lucky guy pretending to be weak while actually being strong!

Bai Xiaowen recalled the S-Tier item he had used: the Book of Fate Revelation, and curled his lip.

Luck won't save you from bad luck, and spending money won't change your fate... In the face of a lucky player, no S-Tier item is as reliable as a lucky draw.

"Take a look! The additional attributes of this three-piece set must be very strong!" Li Shuyi urged.

Bai Xiaowen nodded. After collecting two or more pieces of the set, you can see some of the set bonuses even without equipping them. However, you can't see them when you only have one piece.

I peeked at the chapter description. Luck Coin can only duplicate items, not equipment... Did you all misread it?
