Unyielding Heart, a Tier-One Treasure
Because of the rather complicated plot, even Chen Changhe spent more than three hours completing the entire instance.
The three Dark Phantom dungeons combined took nearly ten hours.
"It really is both mentally and physically exhausting!"
Chen Changhe sighed deeply.
Despite his overwhelming success, he still had to patiently follow the storyline of the dungeon to complete the mission.
The rewards from the subsequent two dungeon runs were far less than those from the first time I entered the Dark Phantom dungeon.
Both the dungeon rating and the dungeon drops are much lower.
After clearing the Dark Phantom dungeon for the second and third time, Chen Changhe obtained a total of fifteen Tier 1 Unit Card, five Tier 2 Unit Card, resources, and a certain amount of Rosen Coin.
In addition, there is a first-class treasure called "Unyielding Heart".
This is a rock-shaped ornament that looks plain and unremarkable.
The added attributes are also quite ordinary; apart from increasing strength by 1 point, the only notable increase is the 3-point boost to leadership.
In the world of the Rosen Secret Realm, treasures that increase leadership are relatively rare.
Its value is much higher than that of other treasures of the same level.
If that's all there is to it, this treasure is equivalent to some ordinary level-two treasures.
Its greatest value lies in its additional skill, "Unyielding Soul".
Unyielding Soul: After the wearer endures attacks from each other, 1 point of their health is forcibly locked.
Once the Unyielding Soul effect is activated, the treasure will automatically be destroyed and cannot be repaired.
Forcibly locking a small amount of health isn't anything special on its own.
It's just a little bit of health; even a tiny touch would kill it.
However, when combined with some items that quickly restore health, it's like having half a life left.
Even if its other attributes are slightly inferior, its value still surpasses that of the vast majority of level-three treasures.
Chen Changhe immediately put on the Unyielding Heart.
Now, as a hero, Chen Changhe has several treasure slots on his body.
He can enhance his strength by equipping various treasures in the treasure sockets.
After leaving the Phantom of the Dark Phantom, Chen Changhe originally planned to go to the final dungeon Battle of the Glory King.
But then he realized that to enter the Battle of the Glory King instance, he had to officially join the City of Glory.
Only heroes appointed by the City of Glory are entitled to enter the Battle of the Glory King instance.
Chen Changhe had no choice but to give up.
While the Battle of the Glory King instance is quite good, it's not worth him joining a city-state for it.
Once you join a city-state, you will form some kind of connection with that city-state.
Although from the outside, the administrators of City of Glory seemed to have no ill intentions towards Chen Changhe and his so-called extraterrestrial demons, and had been turning a blind eye to them.
However, Chen Changhe was unsure of his true thoughts.
He wouldn't easily form this kind of connection with the natives of the secret realm unless absolutely necessary.
"Speaking of which, the City Lord Token of these city-states are all quite valuable treasures."
Each city-state has a system of various official positions.
Hero Unit that obtain official ranks will receive a certain degree of attribute enhancement.
City-states can also gain additional performance or unit nests by constructing certain functional buildings.
And all of this is based on the City Lord Token, which is controlled by the city lord.
Even the lowest-level City Lord Token is a level 5 treasure.
A post on the Gods’ Forum once mentioned that many years ago, a human god entered the secret realm for training.
Ultimately, he obtained a level nine treasure-level City Lord Token and established a level nine city-state.
When he completed his mission and left the secret realm, the City Lord Token automatically merged into his Divine Domain, improving the quality of his Divine Domain.
Not only did he retain all the functional buildings within his city-state, but he also further enhanced them.
Before entering the secret realm, that person's aptitude was only average, and they barely managed to get into a third-rate university through College Entrance Examination college entrance examination.
He originally possessed only the aptitude of Lesser Divine Power.
After entering the secret realm, he was like a cheat code, and after leaving the secret realm, he was admitted to the Fuxi Academy, one of the Eight Super Academies.
That one is now a powerful Greater Divine Power, only a hair's breadth away from becoming Main God.
"I wonder if I'll be able to obtain City Lord Token of level nine or higher quality."
Most of the gods and humans who enter the secret realm are able to obtain the City Lord Token and establish their own city-state later on.
However, the grade of a city-state depends on luck.
Most of them are only level 5 treasure-quality City Lord Token, which can only be used to establish the lowest level of small city-states.
City-states of level seven or higher are extremely rare.
There are very few level nine city-states.
"It is said that there are Holy City above the ninth-level city-state level."
"If I can obtain Holy City- level City Lord Token and establish Holy City, the final transformation effect on the Divine Domain will be astonishing."
It is virtually impossible to obtain Holy City- level City Lord Token through ordinary means.
Throughout the history of the Rosen Secret Realm, very few city-states have reached the level of Holy City.
The establishment of each Holy City is the result of continuous accumulation over a long period of time.
Only through continuous conquest and annexation, and by constantly merging the City Lord Token of other city-states, can one reach the limit and become Holy City.
However, Chen Changhe has the ability to Life Sacrifice.
As long as he persists in Life Sacrifice.
Obtaining the City Lord Token of Holy City- level city is not impossible.
Since we can't enter the Battle of the Glory King instance, there's no point in staying in City of Glory any longer.
Chen Changhe prepared to continue on his way.
However, before leaving, he planned to visit the City of Glory.
During this period, he acquired a considerable number of Unit Card and resources.
There's a trading market in the City of Glory that's quite suitable for heroes, Chen Changhe is going to take a look.
After all, relatively safe city-states like City of Glory are few and far between.
Once he leaves this place, it won't be so easy for him to trade with other heroes.
After a simple registration, Chen Changhe entered the City of Glory.
He quickly found the hero trading market in the City of Glory.
The place he found himself in resembled a bustling market, with a large number of oddly dressed heroes moving around in the area.
This scene involuntarily reminded Chen Changhe of train stations on Earth during the Spring Festival, where crowds of people gathered and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.
"Such prosperity exists even in a level seven city-state."
"What about a level nine city-state, or even Holy City?"
The total combat power in the Rosen Secret Realm is actually not low.
Aside from not being controlled by a deity, it is no less powerful than a typical Main God Divine Domain.
"Goblins, Tier-One Goblin Warriors, Greenskins unit, of good character, gentle and refined, bulk orders receive preferential pricing..."
"Human spearmen, a large number of human spearman Unit Card, all level 3 or above, all experienced veterans..."
"Kobolds, Kobold Miners, skilled not only in combat but also in mining. Hurry, first come, first served..."
The hawking cries rang out incessantly, deafening and making one dizzy.
If Chen Changhe hadn't improved his physical attributes so much, he wouldn't have been able to stay here for more than a few minutes.
Chen Changhe discovered that most of the troops sold here were low-tier units.
Aside from some high-level units, the most popular units are production-type units like Lesser Dwarves.
Lesser Dwarves are a branch of the Dwarves.
However, most Dwarves are physically strong and incredibly powerful.
The Lesser Dwarves, on the other hand, are much thinner and weaker, making them less likely to become a powerful fighting force.
Even so, Lesser Dwarves, who inherited the Dwarves's crafting talent, remain a very popular production unit.
