Chapter 139
As a token of encouragement, the bureau sent you a small gift, hoping it will help you climb the rankings.
"Huh? It was actually sent by that Elder Wang."
Shen Xing was somewhat surprised. "I didn't expect to receive this kind of treatment just for entering the rankings. I wonder what's going on here."
With a touch of curiosity, he first took the document.
Upon opening it, he found a property certificate for a detached villa in River Bay First Class, the one he currently lives in.
The personal information and name of Shen Xing have been filled in, and all the procedures have been completed.
In other words, the house is already registered in his name.
"Good heavens, is this the little gift Elder Wang was talking about?" Shen Xing exclaimed in surprise.
For these Pioneer, a house might not mean much.
But as the saying goes, it's a small gift but a big sentiment, which also reflects how much the Jiangcheng government values these outstanding newcomers.
Moreover, this isn't light at all; it's worth a full twenty million!
"Great, now I don't have to pay the mortgage."
Shen Xing smiled and then looked at the small black wooden box next to him.
I picked it up, opened the box, and saw a jet-black ring lying quietly inside.
Its surface has a dull, cold sheen, and it's unclear what material it's made of; there are also several cracks in it.
"What is this, game equipment?"
Shen Xing became even more curious.
Although the ring was broken, he instinctively felt that it was something special.
After a moment's thought, he decided to transfer the ring, along with another Stone Eye, to the game to check its attributes.
"Whoosh..."
The Flower of Mist on his arm began to slowly rotate, and a large amount of thick mist gushed out, covering the two items on the table.
After the fog dissipated, the items on the table disappeared.
Shen Xing took a deep breath and put her glasses back on.
"Buzz..."
The viewpoint shifted instantly, from the spacious and bright living room to a dark and oppressive Land of Mist.
He brought up his inventory and, sure enough, saw a black ring and a whitish Stone Eye inside.
First, he took out the ring and glanced at its attributes.
The Broken Shadow Demon Ring
[Quality: Unknown]
[Attribute Bonus: None]
[Description: An ancient magic ring, sealing within it a remnant of the Shadow Demon Dragon's soul. However, due to its age, the ring is damaged and has lost most of its power.]
[Effect: Releases the dragon soul power sealed within the ring, summoning the Soul of the Shadow Demon Dragon (Tier Three Boss ★★★) to descend upon the battlefield for 5 seconds.]
[Remaining uses: 4]
(Note: This magic ring contains limited energy; it requires a large amount of dark energy to recharge after each use.)
"!!!"
At this moment, Shen Xing was completely stunned!
What did he see!?
Summon the Soul of the Shadow Demon Dragon to descend upon the battlefield; and it's Tier Three Leader Rank monster!
What does this mean?
As mentioned before, Leader Rank creatures are the heads of an army, and their combat power far exceeds that of the Boss One Star.
What's more, this is a legendary creature—a dragon!
One can imagine how terrifying the Soul of the Shadow Demon Dragon summoned by this ring would be.
Although it was only a brief 5 seconds, it was enough for him to clear away all obstacles.
"I never expected that Elder Wang would actually give me such a strategic treasure. I owe him a huge favor..."
Shen Xing felt conflicted. He had originally thought that the property in Jiangcheng was the greatest gift he could receive.
Compared to this ring, it's utterly insignificant.
He couldn't help but recall what Elder Wang had said at the entrance to the Mist Void Realm.
The resources mentioned above will only be allocated to a small number of geniuses. If you want to acquire more resources and become stronger, then prove that you have the ability.
"In that case, I'll go all out and make a run at the leaderboard!"
"At least, we won't bring shame to Jiangcheng."
Shen Xing solemnly put the ring into his backpack, a surge of fighting spirit rising in his heart.
Then, he took out the other eye and checked its attributes.
[Stone Eye Gem]
[Quality: Purple]
[Effect: When socketed into equipment, it increases Agility by 15 and Hit Chance by 10%]
(Note: The eyes on the Transcendent Rank Stone-Eyed Flea can grant equipment additional abilities and seem to hide some special potential.)
"It really is a good item; it can increase so many attributes."
"If you socketed all of your equipment with that, the improvement would be terrifying."
Shen Xing pondered, deciding to embed the Stone Eye Gem into Hellscream's [Blackwater Greataxe] to increase its damage.
Just as he was pushing his wheelchair toward the blacksmith's shop, he suddenly felt something in his backpack vibrate slightly.
"Um?"
Shen Xing opened his backpack and searched through the pile of items, finally finding the source of the vibration.
The long, brass-colored rod with a metal ring at each end was the monocular telescope.
He took it out, held it in his hand, and examined it for a moment. "Why is this telescope shaking like that for no reason?"
I had seen some records of this on the forum before.
It is said that some equipment or props, because they have existed for a long time or contain some mysterious power, will develop a little intelligence.
For example, the ring that Elder Wang just gave him contains the soul of a Shadow Demon Dragon.
Could it be that the telescope in my hand is a similar piece of equipment?
Suddenly, Shen Xing realized something and looked at the [Stone Eye Gem] he was holding in his left hand. "Could it be that I'm sensing something from this thing?"
With a hint of uncertainty, he brought the telescope closer to the gem.
Sure enough, the tremors became even stronger.
"Goodness, it really is." Shen Xing became even more curious. "But why would this thing react to an eyeball?"
He held up the monocular telescope and looked at it from all angles.
At the end of the cylinder, there appears to be a missing lens, about the same size as the eye.
"Could it be...?"
Shen Xing tentatively pressed the Stone Eye Gem into the cylinder.
With a soft "click," the gemstone and the telescope fit together perfectly.
At that moment, a golden light shone on the surface of the monocular telescope, as if it had been activated.
[Ding! You have socketed a 'Stone Eye Gem' into 'Captain Jack's Spyglass', activating its hidden attribute!]
[Equipment Effect: 'Eye of Insight' maximum detection range has been increased to 3000 meters, and the special ability 'Insight' has been unlocked.]
"Hidden attribute!"
Shen Xing's eyes widened slightly, feeling incredulous.
Unexpectedly, the eye of the Transcendent Rank monster I casually killed last night turned out to be the key item used to activate this telescope.
No, who would have thought of that?
And the activation conditions for these hidden attributes are way too demanding.
If it weren't for an unusual energy point that happened to appear near his house, and a monster like the Stone-Eyed Flea inside, activating this hidden attribute would have taken who knows how long.
After mentally grumbling for a moment, he looked at the system notification in front of him again.
It must be said that the improvements brought about by this activation are quite significant.
The detection range increased dramatically from 1,000 meters to 3,000 meters, a several-fold increase.
In addition, a new special ability was activated: Insight.
"What is the purpose of this new ability?"
He raised the binoculars, brought them close to his eyes, and looked around through the lenses.
The scenery in my field of vision didn't seem to have changed much, except that it had become a little clearer.
However, when he looked intently at a nearby house, he was surprised to find that he could actually see through the wooden walls and into the house.
Several orcs were still fast asleep on their small wooden beds, completely unaware of what was happening.
"Huh? That's amazing?"
Shen Xing blinked, then tried aiming at the blacksmith shop next door. He saw the Cyclops holding a hammer, diligently forging something inside.
He looked around excitedly, as if he had discovered some incredible toy.
However, when he turned his binoculars toward the street, he came across Leina, who had just gotten up.
Her expression in the glasses was resolute, her full head of red hair neatly coiled at the back of her head, and her hands draped a cloak over her shoulders.
To Shen Xing's astonishment, a snow-white, voluptuous body with exaggerated curves appeared before him without warning...
Chapter 109: The terrifyingly rapid rise shocked Elder Wang!
Shen Xing stared wide-eyed at the snow-white reflection in her glasses, completely bewildered.
On the other side, Leina seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.
