Chapter 75 - Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument
Ling Yi didn’t expect this.
When he used the [Random Ancient Tablet voucher], there were no fancy or flashy special effects.
Instead, he only obtained a random item the next second he used it.
[You have obtained a Legendary Ancient Tablet: Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument!]
He opened his rucksack and found a shiny stone tablet inside.
He went to check its effects.
[Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument (Unique)]: One of the three legendary monuments. It will take effect as long as it is placed on the ground. Any living being can drip their blood on it and obtain a year of spiritual protection.
1. During the spirit protection period, when the player who dripped their blood dies an abnormal death in the main world, he would be reborn in the stone tablet in the most perfect and healthy state. After rebirth, the spirit protection will disappear.
2. “Spiritual protection rebirth” can only be effective once on any living being.
3. Units below level 80 can not destroy the stone monument.
The effect was relatively long-lasting.
Ling Yi carefully examined it for two minutes and finally understood its effects.
Simply put, it was a rebirth tablet.
One drop of blood for one year.
If the rebirth effect was not used in the first year, he could drip it again in the second year, and he would be protected for another year, and so on.
The rebirth’s effect would only take effect once per person. After being reborn, the user will not be able to use it anymore.
And the so-called “abnormal death” it was referring to was deaths that did not happen naturally, like age. These unnatural deaths include being killed by someone, illness, poisoning, hunger, choking, and so on.
There was no way to resurrect someone who had died naturally.
“Mmm… It’s alright, I guess.”
After thinking to himself, Ling Yi thought that it wasn’t bad.
The monument wasn’t something that players would usually go for.
After all, many players were more interested in making friends with people who had resurrection skills.
However, it was more precious to ordinary people.
Most ordinary people did not have the opportunity to come into contact with players with resurrection skills. And even if they did, those players might not even care about you.
Kidnapping and other crimes are meaningless to people with “superpowers” after all.
When he opened his mutation system, he found that it had a “medium” potential mutation, so Ling Yi decided to mutate it.
After the mutation, he noticed that only two things had changed.
One was the duration of the effect had changed from one year to a lifetime.
This meant that everyone didn’t have to drip their blood once a year. Instead, they could protect themselves for the rest of their lives.
Second, the “indestructible by anyone below level 80” effect had been upgraded to “indestructible by anyone below level 100”.
This meant that only level 100 players or monsters could destroy it.
“Alright, next…”
Ling Yi looked at the mutated Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument in his rucksack and touched his chin. He was thinking about where he should put it.
This was a unique and rare item, so he wasn’t afraid of people finding out it was mutated.
And besides, nobody would know. Everyone would only think this was the item’s original effect.
“Mmm…”
After a moment’s silence, Ling Yi decided it would be better to let the Shenxia officials manage this.
He felt it wasn’t very reliable to leave it to the Divine Union, nor did he have the energy to keep it for himself.
He would be at ease if he left it to them.
…
Soon nighttime came, and the sky was filled with stars.
Lin Shurou and Ling Yi were hanging out in the living room when the news was being broadcasted on television.
“Shenxia Treasure Alliance has obtained a new B grade treasure fusion formula, contributed by ’01’. From the public…”
“It’s the same person that appeared on the World Announcement earlier today! Who is this allusive ’01’ who manages to create a 10 Star Skill?…”
“According to Shenxia’s officials, player ’01’ also contributed an unprecedented legendary ancient tablet. Currently, the public vote is being held to decide on a suitable location for the tablet…”
In one day, the forum name ’01’ became a hot topic in Shenxia.
“Who is this ’01’? He somehow made many amazing feats in one day!” Lin Shurou exclaimed. Her blue eyes filled with curiosity. “And are the ’01’ who contributed to the formula, the 10 Star Skill, and contributed to the ancient monument the same person?”
“I guess,” Ling Yi calmly said, “On the forum, Shenxia Treasure Alliance already confirmed with the guy. It’s the same person.”
The evening news was basically all about him and nothing else.
He picked up the ice water on the table and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls, feeling refreshed.
“They really are the same person.” Lin Shurou’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise, “That’s amazing. Not only did he discover the fusion formula, but he also fused a 10 Star Skill… I think he’s probably a level 80 or 90 veteran player, or maybe he was one of the first million players to enter the God’s Path 20 years ago.”
“If that’s the case, he should be around forty or fifty years old, right? He’s probably an uncle.”
Ling Yi squinted his eyes at her, feeling somewhat insulted by her theory. “I don’t think so,”
Lin Shurou turned her head and smiled at him, revealing her white teeth.
“Speaking of which,” She changed the topic. “Things are getting more exciting, huh? A mysterious newcomer in District 66 and today, this ’01’ appeared out of nowhere. It feels like a new trend is coming.”
“Maybe God’s Path is about to open up a new large-scale event?”
“… I’m not sure.”
Hearing Lin Shurou mention the event, Ling Yi suddenly remembered that his district had never experienced a newbie event.
Today is the fourth day, and the Beginner’s Event will be held on the seventh day…
‘I don’t think I need to make any preparations?‘
The so-called Beginner’s Event was an event targeted at the new players that would appear on the seventh day of each server opening.
At that time, outside the camp of each district, there would be a giant tower that reached the sky.
Each level had a corresponding monster, and the players only had to try their best to defeat them and continue to climb up.
The higher the floor, the better the rewards.
One day after the start of this beginner’s “activity”, God’s Path “event” function and “arena” function would be officially open to them.
They had only passed the fourth day and what people often call the “grinding” period in God’s Path.
As he recalled the contents of the beginner’s event in his mind, Ling Yi examined himself again.
He realized that his current combat power was too far to be considered a “beginner”.
Since the other players had a more challenging time leveling up, he doubted any of them could reach level 10 by the end of the week. They couldn’t compete with him at all.
He was definitely going to get first place!
While Ling Yi was still thinking about this, Lin Shurou suddenly turned her head and asked him, “Oh, that’s right. Did you vote for the monument?”
“Hm? I did.”
“Which one do you recommend?” She blinked her big eyes curiously.
On the laptop in front of her was the official voting interface.
She seemed to be hesitating where to place it.
“Of course, it’s our Firefly Town.”
Although Ling Yi could decide where to place the monument all by himself, he still felt that it was better for the public to determine since it was something that would serve the public.
He could place the ancient monument anywhere, as long as it was within Shenxia’s territory.
