Oddity [Imprisoning Bramble], Hidden Rat's Lingering Fear

Yu Yuan carefully put away the [Escape Key].

But in his mind, he was reassessing just how valuable [Spirituality Crystals] were.

His opinion of the [Curio Ladder] title path rose once again, too.

[Spirituality Crystals] were formed when the [Spirituality Collector] gathered the Pure Spirituality released after Spiritual Creatures died.

And the [Spirituality Collector] was a reward for earning the [Curio Collector] title.

All of it was tied to the [Curio Ladder] title path.

"The [Curio Ladder] only unlocks if you obtain a ranked Oddity during the beginner period..." Yu Yuan was no longer the clueless newcomer he had once been.

He knew that many players from higher Civilization Tiers helped newcomers in the Rock Tier.

But that help only became available after the beginner period.

Only by surviving the beginner period and passing the [Wasteland Trial] could a player unlock the [Friends] Access Level and contact higher-tier players.

Obtaining a ranked Oddity during the beginner period was next to impossible.

Just look at the invading players he had killed. Even the one from Stag Shelter, which ranked among the top five thousand, had used an unranked Oddity: the [Binding Bramble].

That alone showed how rare and precious ranked Oddities were.

The effects of the two ranked Oddities Yu Yuan now owned certainly lived up to their rankings.

Before long, the [Binding Bramble] finished strengthening.

But it looked completely different now.

It had originally resembled an unremarkable thorny vine.

Now the vine was predominantly black, with red and green veins spiraling around it.

The two sets of veins slowly brightened and dimmed, while the thorns growing along them glimmered faintly.

Those thorns were thicker and sharper than before.

Their very tips had even turned black.

Yu Yuan checked its information.
