Chapter 2139 Silver Ancient Tome
I want this book. The rest of the items are yours, Shi Feng told Late Autumn as he picked up the Silver Ancient Tombe and stored it in his bag, acting as if he had no interest in the four other items in the treasure chest.
The four other items were indeed valuable at this stage of the game, especially the Level 70 Dark-Gold helmet for Shield Warriors. Even superpowers experts would drool over such an item. However, even combined, these four items werent worth nearly as much as the Silver Ancient Tome.
Gods Domain had all kinds of Ancient Tomes to offer. Some contained clues to items, while others could cause devastating destruction. This Silver Ancient Tome could improve players natural response time.
Normally, a players neural response time
depended on their real-world body. Players typically had to use specialized training methods to improve their natural reaction time, as well as have the innate talent to do so. Otherwise, their success would be limited, regardless of how hard they trained.
However, the Silver Ancient Tome broke this rule and could forcibly improve a players response time in Gods Domain.
Of course, the improvement was minor, and the Silver Ancient Tomes effects varied from person to person, but even a minor improvement could significantly impact a players performance in the game.
This tome was a special item that could make up for a players congenital deficiencies. Even though the tomes effects werent as substantial as a boost to physique, each Silver Ancient Tome had sold for tens of thousands of Gold during Shi Fengs previous life. Some of the superpowers elderly experts had even traded Fragmented Legendary items or Basic Bloodlines to get their hands on one of these tomes, trying to make up for their deteriorating reaction time.
Shi Feng was actually quite surprised to get his hands on a Silver Ancient Tome so early. If he gave it to one of his Guilds Refinement Realm experts, it wouldnt be long before they broke through to the Flowing Water Realm. After all, improved neural response time would indirectly improve players combat standards. In fact, when the various large Guilds recruited internal members, they typically prioritized players with above-average response time.
Currently, Zero Wing had four experts stuck between the Refinement Realm and Flowing Water Realm: Fire Dance, Aqua Rose, Gentle Snow, and Violet Cloud. If they could use the Silver Ancient Tome, they might become Flowing Water Realm experts very quickly.
Once they reached the Flowing Water Realm, combined with their abilities in the Truth Realm, theyd finally blossom into bona fide peak experts.
After Shi Feng stored the Silver Ancient Tome, Late Autumn gave the Dark-Gold Treasure Chest a hesitant look.
Guild Leader Black Flame, this item is a piece of Level 70 Dark-Gold Equipment, Late Autumn said as he examined the helmet for Shield Warriors. He then turned to Shi Feng and said sincerely, Our Purple Shadow adventurer team has only avoided annihilation because of you. Accepting such an item is too much.
At this stage of the game, even the various superpowers madly contested for Level 65 Dark-Gold Equipment, not to mention Level 70 Dark-Gold Equipment. Moreover, this was a helmet for MTs. It was far more valuable than ordinary equipment of the same level and rank.
Ive already told you that I only wanted one item from the treasure chest. Moreover, it is only Level 70 Dark-Gold Equipment. It is nothing to Zero Wing, Shi Feng responded. Seeing the Cursemancers guilty expression, he chuckled and continued, If you really cant bring yourself to accept it, why dont you help me out with something else? Then, you can consider the helmet your compensation.
He didnt know much about the Purple Shadow adventurer team, but based on the teams performance and camaraderie, he could see that its members were righteous people. Otherwise, they likely wouldve split up and fled from Bright Dawns expert team.
That was one of the reasons that Shi Feng had chosen to help them. At most, he might have saved any other team from Bright Dawns bullying; he wouldnt have allowed them to keep the Boss and treasure chest.
Compensation? Late Autumn was inwardly surprised, looking at Shi Fengs calm expression. This Swordsman had offered a piece of Level 70 Dark-Gold Equipment as if it meant nothing to him. Moreover, Late Autumn could tell that Shi Feng was telling the truth. Immediately, he replied, That wont be a problem. Guild Leader Black Flame, please tell us what you need us to do. Our Purple Shadow adventurer team will assist you with everything we got.
Im heading to the Bottomless Abyss to take care of something. Id like your help in clearing out the mobs. The whole affair will take roughly half a day. How about it? Shi Feng asked.
The Bottomless Abyss was the lowest-leveled God Mode Regional Dungeon in Gods Domain. Not only did an abundance of monsters call the Dungeon home, but they were also quite challenging to deal with. Without enough strength, most teams would find themselves on a one-way trip if they tried to enter the Dungeon.
Initially, Shi Feng had planned to clear out the monsters in his path by himself. Mobilizing the Guilds main force to help him would only be a waste of time and resources. With Zero Wings current predicament, the Guild couldnt afford such an operation.
However, since the Purple Shadow adventurer team had volunteered its help, he was more than glad to accept. From what he had seen thus far, Purple Shadow was quite strong overall. Although the team couldnt compare to Zero Wings main force, it was close to rivaling other first-rate Guilds main forces. The only real difference between Purple Shadow and a first-rate Guilds main force was their equipment.
Youre heading to the Bottomless Abyss? Colorful Fruits jaw dropped, and she stared at Shi Feng in astonishment.
For the players grinding in the Ancient Undead Country, the Bottomless Abyss was a forbidden land, yet Shi Feng had originally planned to head straight into the beasts maw by himself.
The various major powers had already attempted to enter the Bottomless Abyss, but every one of them had returned in defeat. Some of those teams had even been comprised of experts, led by peak experts.
Alright! Although Late Autumn found Shi Fengs request surprising, he decided to go through with his promise. Are we setting off now, then?
Mhnn, the sooner we get there, the better. Shi Feng nodded.
In that case, lets rest and recover. Well set off in one minute, Late Autumn announced, glancing at his teammates conditions.
Commander, are we really going into the Dungeon? Colorful Fruit whispered, sounding worried. Even the Windwolf adventurer team retreated after less than an hour!
Windwolf was the fifth ranked adventurer team in the Dark Night Empire and much stronger than Purple Shadow overall, and they hadnt even made it a full hour in the Bottomless Abyss. Moreover, only half of the team had escaped the Dungeon alive. Because of this, the empires adventurer teams had begun to fear the Regional Dungeon.
Asking them to spend half a day in the Bottomless Abyss was no different than asking them to commit suicide.
Of course, were going. Ive already promised him our help, Late Autumn said. Besides, were in just as much danger now as we would be in the Bottomless Abyss. We might as well take out chances.
Currently, more than 20 expert teams were targeting them. It was almost guaranteed that they wouldnt all make it out of the Psychedelic Forest alive. Since that was the case, they might as well try their luck in the Bottomless Abyss.
After giving the matter some thought, Colorful Fruit found Late Autumns reasoning sound. Since both paths led to death, they could at least try to establish a friendship with an expert like Shi Feng.
Once the Purple Shadow adventurer team had rested, Shi Feng led them toward the God Mode Regional Dungeon.
About five minutes after Shi Feng and his new companions left the area, a team with an averaged around Level 67 found the Dark-Gold Treasure Chest. These players weakest piece of equipment was Level 65 Fine-Gold rank, and some of its experts even wore multiple pieces of Epic Equipment. Every member of the team radiated an imposing aura, as well. Overall, this was certainly no ordinary adventurer team.
Boss, those people have already left. By the looks of it, theyre heading toward the Bottomless Abyss, a bald, Level 68 Assassin in blue reported to the stalwart man in a suit of crimson armor. They should only have departed recently.
Theyre heading to the Bottomless Abyss? A wise decision, the crimson-armored man said, chuckling. Its a pity that they caught our attention. Notify the other scouts. Well give chase immediately!
