Repairing the Lotus Lantern, a True Bringer of Fortune! (Continued)
"This is the first time I've ever seen a backpack with such high-quality gold packaging."
"Let me see your attributes."
Shen Xing clicked on the details and took a look.
[Dragon-Patterned Bag]
[Quality: Gold]
[Additional Attribute: All attributes +200]
[Effect: A backpack made of ancient animal hides, containing 160 storage slots]
(Note: Extra-large capacity, extra-large space—owning it is like carrying a mobile warehouse!)
"160 slots of space, plus additional attributes—no wonder it's a gold-quality backpack!"
Shen Xing was overjoyed.
After all, the highest-grade item he had was a purple-quality [Silk Backpack], which not only had no attribute bonuses but also only 40 storage slots.
This gold-plated backpack is several levels above the rest.
"Indeed, such a large storage space indicates that there are quite a few resources inside."
"Besides, since this guy is a lone wolf, he'll probably carry all the good stuff with him; we might find some surprises."
With a hint of anticipation, he opened his backpack.
In an instant, a barrage of notifications flashed before my eyes.
[Received: 13,287,200 Soul Stone]
[Received: 74242 Greater Soul Stone]
[Received: 1,679,200 Kingdom Silver Coin]
[Received: 387 Kingdom Gold Coin]
[Obtained: 3172 Bright Elite Soul]
[Obtained: 138 Dazzling Boss Soul]
[Obtained: 14 Brilliant Boss Soul]
[Obtained: Overlord Soul *2]
[Obtained: Lava Gauntlets (Gold) *2]
[Obtained: Skill Book - Magma Eruption (Gold) *1]
[Obtained: Skill Book - Split Metal and Shatter Stone (Gold) *1]
[Obtained: Chaos Origin Crystal Fragment *8]
[Obtained: Unknown Fragment *1]
[Get...]
At this moment, even Shen Xing, who had seen many storms, was briefly shocked.
Wow, that's outrageous!
"This guy is way too fat!"
The astonishing value of this batch of materials needs no further explanation.
Those tens of millions of Soul Stone are secondary, after all, Shen Xing is now a man with two hundred million Soul Stone.
Most importantly, there are various other resources, including a total of eight [Chaos Origin Crystal Fragment]!
Moreover, what is shown above is only a part; there is much more equipment and weapons that have not yet been displayed.
"Great! This guy really brought all his wealth with him; I'm getting all the benefits this time!"
Shen Xing was extremely excited, and then quickly began to sort and categorize these resources.
He first integrated the more than one hundred pieces of blue, purple, and gold equipment together.
There were also more than a dozen purple outfits.
It seems to be a light armor that I redeemed from the Points Shop, called [Thousand-Legged Centipede Foot Armor].
Its appearance is very creepy; it looks like bones stacked together, covering the entire body.
"Not bad. All these light armors can be given to the orcs, and the other equipment can be distributed to the various unit types according to their needs."
Then, he found dozens of weapons among them.
They also range in quality from blue to gold, encompassing various types of weapons such as longswords, battle axes, spears, bows and arrows, and gauntlets.
"These spears are for the Black Moon Knight, the bows and arrows for the Silver Moon Knight and the skeleton archers, and the battleaxes can be distributed among the orcs..."
Shen Xing quickly devised an allocation plan and continued to organize the various resources according to their categories.
In addition, he found two skill books.
It seems to belong to a warrior or mage. No one in the territory can use it right now, so I'm planning to put it in the trade channel.
Finally, Shen Xing found something special among this huge pile of resources.
It appears to be a fragment from something, only the size of a thumb, and has a jade-like color.
"Huh? This fragment looks kind of familiar?"
"Could it be... from that lamp?"
Thinking of this, Shen Xing's breath hitched slightly.
Suppressing his excitement, he carefully took out the fragment and examined it in his palm.
Its surface has petal-like patterns, making it look like a broken lotus flower.
At this moment, he was 100% certain that this thing was a fragment from the Lotus Lantern!
"Good heavens, we actually found a fragment of the Lotus Lantern among Conrad's belongings! It's like finding a needle in a haystack!"
Shen Xing became more and more excited as she thought about it, and she could hardly contain her smile.
According to the system description, this Lotus Lantern was destroyed after a major battle.
All seven fragments need to be collected to restore its former divine power!
Each time you collect all the Lotus Lantern, its power will increase significantly!
The importance of this Lotus Lantern is self-evident; thanks to it, Shen Xing escaped danger several times.
Lotus Lantern deserves much credit for even taking the top spot on the last rankings!
And now, they've actually obtained another fragment, which will further enhance the power of the Lotus Lantern.
"This is incredibly lucky!"
"Conrad, wish me luck!"
Shen Xing couldn't help but sigh, this guy didn't come here seeking revenge, he came here to deliver treasure to him!
Not only did it bring the Red Dragon Sovereign, but it also brought an entire Lava Dragon Legion, contributing a great deal of resources and treasures to its cause.
It also allowed him to successfully absorb the Red Dragon Origin, causing his strength to increase dramatically!
Now, they've even found fragments of the Lotus Lantern among Conrad's belongings—it's incredible!
"Next, we'll attach this fragment and see what changes occur when the Lotus Lantern has both fragments!"
With a hint of anticipation, Shen Xing opened his right hand.
The Lotus Lantern, with its simple and ancient design and several chips along its edges, appeared in my palm.
Then, he brought the fragment close to one of the gaps.
At that moment, the Lotus Lantern seemed to sense something and began to tremble slightly.
The fragment was also drawn along, automatically flying towards the gap.
"Click--"
With a crisp sound, the fragments and the Lotus Lantern fit together perfectly, and the cracks on them quickly disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, an incomparably bright and sacred green light burst forth!
"Buzz—"
Everyone instantly lost their sight, and all that remained before them was a vast expanse of white.
The gray fog covering a radius of five kilometers was instantly dispelled at that moment.
Even the light from the Moon in the Sky and the Bonfire was suppressed by this green light.
As their vision gradually returned, they slowly opened their eyes.
Suddenly, a Lotus Lantern, entirely emerald green and shaped like a seven-petaled lotus, appeared, slowly rotating in the air.
A pure emerald flame burned at the wick, its light bright but not dazzling, as if carrying some ancient Civilization's legacy.
At the same time, a series of notification messages flashed before Shen Xing's eyes.
[Ding! You have successfully collected the second fragment, repairing the 'Unknown Lotus Lantern' and restoring some of its power!]
[The range of the Lotus Lantern's flame has been increased to a diameter of 5000 meters, and the invincibility time of the 'Lotus Flame Barrier' has been extended to 7 seconds!]
['Lotus Flame Spatial Escape' Maximum carrying capacity increased from 100 to 150, maximum teleportation distance increased from 10 kilometers to 20 kilometers!]
[Activate new ability: 'Lotus Flame World Cleansing' (Releases intense flames that sweep across a radius of 10 kilometers)]
Instantly removes all abnormal statuses from allies and instantly removes all buffs from all enemies.
It also deals massive true damage to creatures of darkness, the undead, and necromancy, and puts them into a 'weakened' state for the next 30 minutes, reducing all their attributes by 30% to 80%.
Cooldown time: 24 hours.
[Hidden Quest: 'The Lost Lotus Flame' progress has been updated]
[Current task progress: 2/7]
[...]
"As expected... each fragment collected makes the Lotus Lantern even more powerful!"
Shen Xing stared at the prompt in front of him, a smile almost impossible to suppress on his lips!
This restoration project directly increased the range of the permanent flame of the Lotus Lantern from three kilometers to five kilometers.
The invincibility time of 'Lotus Flame Barrier' has been increased by two seconds, and the teleportation distance of 'Lotus Flame Spatial Escape' has been greatly increased.
Especially the latter two enhancements to his survival abilities significantly boosted Shen Xing's survivability!
Of course, the most important of these is the newly activated special ability— Lotus Flame World Cleansing!
