MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1712 1712: Ode to Light

Heart of Illusion: A gem blessed by divine light, the Illusion Crystal shines with a golden brilliance and will not fail when used to enhance equipment levels.

Usage Level: None.

Required Profession: Master-level Blacksmith.

"Wow! This is…"

Seeing the gem in Vainglory's hand, everyone couldn't help but brighten up.

Damn, this is actually a gem for enhancing equipment levels.

The required level for equipment has always been one of the most perplexing attributes for players.

If the required level of the equipment is too high, players can't use it, which is frustrating to look at. This situation is relatively easy to resolve; there is a type of material in the game that can lower the required level of equipment without reducing its attributes. Although it's a bit pricey, it's not considered rare.

On the other hand, if the required level of the equipment is too low and the attributes don't match, that's truly worrying. Compared to the previous situation, this one is far more frustrating.

The main focus of equipment updates is the required level.

The higher the level, the higher the primary attributes of the equipment. Even if a ancient equipment has a required level of only one, its primary attributes certainly can't compare to that of a level fifty plain item.

In the game <<Rebirth>>, the leveling speed is not fast. At first, everyone didn't notice, but as time goes on, the importance of equipment level becomes more apparent.

To this day, most players in <<Rebirth>> have surpassed level sixty, yet equipment levels have remained stuck below forty. Lower-level monsters yield no experience, and higher-level ones can't be fought, leading to a state where players desperately crave for equipment upgrades. The gem that can enhance equipment levels is thus highly valuable.

No wonder Vainglory quickly tucked it away upon seeing its attributes; he is the one among the entire Quan Zhen Sect who is most desperate for an equipment level upgrade.

Others in the Quan Zhen Sect may also have lower-level equipment, but in terms of weapon levels, they are mostly at the forefront of the game. Only Vainglory has a weapon level of just twenty. While its attributes are decent enough to make many envious, he can't compare himself to ordinary players. Among the Quan Zhen Sect's group of exceptional players, Vainglory's feelings can be easily imagined.

After all, the output of a Pugilist is already not high; without a decent weapon, Vainglory is indeed in an awkward position.

"What a shameless little chick, learning to hoard equipment now!"

Ming Du smirked and raised an eyebrow at Vainglory, this shameless brat still had the nerve to call others unscrupulous.

"What unscrupulous!" Hearing Ming Du's words, Fearless interrupted with a dark face: "This isn't a dungeon. The items dropped by wild map bosses belong to whoever picks them up, so little chick, you just take it!"

"Exactly! Old Li, what are you talking about? You already have a top-tier ancient equipment, and you're still complaining about a kid's weapon being a piece of junk?"

With Fearless's words, the others glared angrily at Ming Du.

Although the Quan Zhen Sect members are known for their sharp tongues and questionable morals, they are quite loyal to their friends.

The value of this gem is something everyone knows, but its significance to them pales in comparison to Vainglory's need.

Everyone understood why Frost Blade had a meltdown earlier; if such a mature and stable guy could get emotional, how much more could a young, immature kid.

"I didn't say anything…"

After being berated by everyone, Ming Du protested, "I was just lamenting how little chick has grown up…"

"Pfft! Rubbish!"

The group collectively gave Ming Du the finger. If it weren't for Fearless stepping in, Ming Du's personality might have had him rolling for it against Vainglory.

Of course, it's not that Ming Du isn't loyal, but rather that he's clueless… He fails to notice what others pick up on. Despite being older, his emotional intelligence isn't much different from Vainglory's. Just like how he mocked Frost Blade earlier; who would say such things with a mature mindset?

Games represent the world, and the world isn't just about fighting; it's about understanding social dynamics. Helping those around you learn how to navigate relationships is also a part of being a friend, like Wang Yu… When he first entered the game, he was a naive rookie, but now, under the influence of the Quan Zhen Sect, he has become quite the savvy player.

Unlike Wang Yu's more reserved nature, Ming Du is rather reckless, so he needs constant reminders.

With the Heart of Illusion in hand, Vainglory felt elated.

Master-level blacksmiths are hard to find among enemy factions, but there are two in the Quan Zhen Sect, so he can upgrade his equipment right away. The thought of no longer having to flaunt his level twenty equipment filled Vainglory with excitement. Although he didn't express his gratitude in a sappy way, he was still grateful to Fearless.

Rather than saying Fearless is good at reading people's hearts, it would be more accurate to say he knows how to get things done… Just a casual remark managed to win over the rebellious Vainglory. At this moment, if Fearless told Vainglory to go die, he likely wouldn't hesitate.

Vainglory was happy, but the others still looked gloomy.

Damn, they fought so hard against these two bosses, and not only did they drop a bunch of trash, but the only somewhat valuable item couldn't even be sold. This was really not worth it.

"Damn it, a divine race boss, and this is all it drops? How embarrassing!"

"Yeah, dropping a weapon that no one can use!"

The Quan Zhen Sect members began to voice their disdain for the bosses.

"Hehe!"

Just when everyone was dissatisfied with the bosses, Wang Yu suddenly started laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Did you find some good equipment over there?" Seeing Wang Yu's smile, the others couldn't help but ask.

There were two bosses that had just been killed, and one was right in front of Wang Yu.

"No!" Wang Yu shook his head, "Just a pile of trash gear."

"Then why are you laughing?" Everyone was puzzled.

"The equipment is trash, but I got a not-so-trash skill book." As he spoke, Wang Yu casually held up a golden skill book. At the same time, the attributes of the skill book were sent to the team chat.

"Ode to Light, Volume One": Ancient skill. Devout followers of the God of Light can use the power of light to resurrect all fallen teammates within the skill's range.

Usage Level: 65.

Required Profession: Bishop.

Item description: The most loyal follower of the God of Light, Archbishop Duraste, received a divine calling while pursuing the God of Light, which he recorded, becoming the lifelong goal of all future followers of the God of Light. Unfortunately, after thousands of years of transmission, only the first volume remains.

"Ode to Light? Isn't that just a resurrection skill?"

Ancient skills are rare, with only a handful for each profession, but since everyone just witnessed the skill, which is simply a resurrection spell, Fearless already knew it, so seeing the words "ancient skill", no one felt particularly impressed.

However, after reading through the entire description of the skill, everyone collectively gasped in surprise.

After a moment, they exclaimed, "What the heck, this is actually the legendary group resurrection skill!!!"
