Perception Necklace

Qu Qingfeng was genuinely delighted.

He immediately called the school's Finance Office.

He told them to skip all procedures and directly transfer 100,000 Nova Coins into each of their accounts.

"Ding!"

[ZhiFuBao Account: 100,000 Nova Coins received!]

A short while after the call ended,

Lin Mu and Su Xiaoxiao received their transfer notifications one after another.

Although Su Xiaoxiao's family was not short on money,

this was still the first time she had earned so much through her own "ability."

The young girl was secretly overjoyed.

Lin Mu looked calm on the surface, but he was excited as well.

With a total of 400,000 in hand, it counted as a decent amount of startup capital.

In his previous life, he had worked himself to the bone for over a decade and still had not saved that much Renminbi!

"Come on! Follow me!"

Qu Qingfeng waved a grand hand, his face glowing red.

He personally led Lin Mu and Su Xiaoxiao toward the Logistics Office, full of swagger.

From the way they looked,

anyone unaware of the situation might have thought they were heading off to inspect the armed forces.

The Logistics Office.

It was still the same teacher responsible for handing out beginner equipment.

But at this moment,

he no longer wore that deadpan, indifferent expression from before.

The moment he saw Principal Qu personally leading in two "heavyweight" new students,

Teacher Li sprang out of his chair.

His face instantly bloomed with a fawning smile, and his waist nearly bent to a ninety-degree angle.

"P-Principal! Why did you come here personally? Oh, Lin, Su, please come in, please come in!"

As he spoke, he frantically pulled out two bottles of obviously high-end bottled water from beneath the counter.

He eagerly handed them over.

"You two are truly the pride of our Second Vocational College! An SSS-Rank evaluation! Tsk, tsk, I wouldn't have dared imagine it!"

Lin Mu accepted the water without saying anything.

Su Xiaoxiao politely thanked him.

Qu Qingfeng cleared his throat, clasped his hands behind his back, and slightly raised his chin.

With a hint of boastfulness, he said,

"Old Li, according to the school's reward policy, let these two students each choose one Fine Grade piece of equipment. Bring out the best things you have and let them pick properly!"

"Alright! You got it! Don't worry, Principal!"

Teacher Li nodded and bowed as he swiftly opened a specially made alloy door behind him.

The steel door opened.

A soft blue glow shone out from within.

Pieces of equipment emitting extraordinary auras

were displayed inside by category.

Weapons, armor, accessories—the selection was fairly complete.

Though there were not many of them,

every piece had been polished to a gleaming shine. They were clearly the Logistics Office's finest stock.

"You two, these are the best batch of blue equipment in the school's inventory! Pick whatever you like—take whichever one catches your eye!"

Teacher Li rubbed his hands together, smiling so hard his eyes narrowed into slits.

Su Xiaoxiao's gaze swept back and forth across several pieces of equipment.

In the end, it settled on a Priest robe glowing with soft Holy Light.

[Holy Light Guardian Robe] (LV.5, Blue)

Defense: 15-20

Intelligence: +2

Constitution: +2

Special Effect: Non-holy damage received is reduced by 5%.

"Principal, Teacher, I'll choose this one."

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the robe, joy written across her little face.

The robe's attributes were well-balanced.

Not only did it provide decent defense and bonuses,

it also had a practical damage reduction effect, making it very suitable for her support class.

"Good eye!"

Qu Qingfeng nodded approvingly.

"Priests really do need to prioritize their own survival. Not bad, not bad!"

Teacher Li hurriedly took down the [Holy Light Guardian Robe] and respectfully handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao lovingly stroked the robe's soft fabric.

Then, delighted, she put it into her storage space.

Lin Mu ultimately chose a stone pendant.

The pendant was a dark reddish-black throughout, with an ancient, simple design and an outer ring wrapped in a special dark-red material.

[Silent Black Stone Necklace] (LV.5, Blue)

Constitution: +2

Special Effect: Perception range increased by 3 meters.

Those attributes

were practically meaningless for most classes.

And it would even take up an equipment slot.

"I'll take it." Lin Mu pointed at the stone pendant.

"Uh..."

Teacher Li and Qu Qingfeng both froze for a moment.

In their eyes, this necklace was truly unremarkable.

Especially for a Necromancer like Lin Mu.

Logically, he should have preferred equipment that boosted summoned creatures' attributes,

or directly increased spell power.

"Lin Mu, are you sure?"

Qu Qingfeng could not help asking.

"Won't you look at anything else? Like that [Shadow Staff]. It's blue too, but it provides a slight boost to shadow spells."

Lin Mu shook his head.

"No need, Principal. This is the one I want."

After being modified, his [Withered Wood Staff] had such an absurd mana cost reduction effect

that there was no need to replace it for now.

Seeing Lin Mu insist, Qu Qingfeng could not say anything further.

After all, geniuses always had ideas of their own.

Teacher Li handed the [Silent Black Stone Necklace] to Lin Mu.

The instant Lin Mu took the necklace, a thought stirred in his mind.

Talent [Description Tamperer], activate!

The necklace's detailed description appeared before his eyes.

[Silent Black Stone Necklace]: A necklace polished from unrefined Black Stone mixed with Red Stone. It contains a faint power of Shadow protection. When worn, it increases Constitution by 2 points and perception range by 3 meters.

Lin Mu's gaze fell on the words "unrefined Black Stone."

"Change 'unrefined' to 'refined'!"

Buzz!

The necklace's descriptive text blurred slightly before becoming clear again.

[Silent Black Stone Necklace] (LV.5, Blue)

Constitution: +2

Special Effect: Perception range increased by 12 meters.

The detailed description changed as well.

[Silent Black Stone Necklace]: A necklace polished from refined Black Stone mixed with Red Stone. It contains a fairly strong power of Shadow protection. When worn, it increases Constitution by 2 points and perception range by 12 meters.

It worked!

The corners of Lin Mu's lips rose almost imperceptibly.

A perception range of 12 meters!

He only needed to modify it once more tomorrow.

Then it would become 92 meters!

It would be an absolute top-tier tool for scouting and counter-scouting!

"You two have chosen your equipment. The school has basically given you everything it can."

Qu Qingfeng clapped his hands, smiling broadly.

"From here on, it's up to you."

"Especially you, Lin Mu. For the [Wailing Cavern] challenge, be sure to... know your limits. Safety first!"

Though he said that,

his eyes were filled with anticipation.

What if...

What if this kid really created another miracle?
