Chapter 70 LV2 drops an aura; can it drop the highest-level equipment?
Jiangcheng Base Logistics Warehouse.
The searchlights shone brightly on the open ground, where several heavy-duty transport vehicles came to a stop one after another.
The rear panel of the carriage was lowered, and what poured out was not a regular supply box, but a series of burlap sacks with thick canvas bottoms.
Old Yan, the head of the logistics department, was wearing a coat and holding a thermos. He had been called out of bed in the middle of the night and was not in a good mood.
"What kind of junk have they seized at the front in the middle of the night?" Old Yan muttered as he walked forward and casually tore open the seal of a burlap sack.
Just one glance.
The thermos slipped from my hand and fell to the ground, spilling hot water mixed with goji berries all over the floor.
Inside the sack, there were countless thumb-sized Soul-Suppressing Stones, with dozens of pigeon-egg-sized Holy Spirit Stones scattered on top, emitting a soft white light.
Old Yan rubbed his eyes, grabbed the edge of the sack with both hands, and almost fell in.
"This...!" His tone changed, and he turned to Xiao Qianyu beside him, shouting, "Captain Xiao, why did you go on a robbery?"
After Xiao Qianyu signed the form, she handed it over: "From Peach Blossom Paradise."
Lei Zhan jumped down from the back carriage, carrying a newly replaced dark gold shield, and approached Lao Yan.
"Old Yan, stop acting like you've never seen anything like this before. This is just an appetizer." He patted his chest armor. "See? The whole team is fully geared with A-grade sets. If we hadn't run out of weight, we would have brought back those lower-grade pieces too."
Old Yan's fingers trembled as he gripped the handover form, the papers rustling. In his five years in logistics, this was the first time he'd encountered a situation where he had to carry sacks of Holy Spirit Stones.
"Alright, hurry up and put it into storage." Xiao Qianyu interrupted Lao Yan's outburst. "Prepare a list for the military tomorrow."
Lu Yan did not participate in the ensuing commotion. He followed the tree-lined path of the base back to his single dormitory.
Closing the door shut out the noise from outside.
The interior furnishings are simple: a bed, a desk, and a high-spec tactical terminal.
Taking off his mud-covered coat, Lu Yan leaned back in his ergonomic chair and pointed his hand into the air.
A pale blue light screen unfolded before my eyes, and my personal attribute panel popped up.
Name: Lu Yan
[Occupation: Aura Master]
[Level: 50]
The golden experience bar has reached the very end.
As the leader of a large-scale team dungeon, the Thousand-Year Corpse Locust provides extremely generous experience points that allow players to skip the last few experience hurdles and reach their current level cap.
Looking down, you'll see a glowing plus sign in the status bar.
Five free talent points.
Today things took a turn for the better.
The 100x drop rate aura has been upgraded.
[100x Drop Rate LV2], a golden light was flowing around it.
After reaching level 50, the aura ability was surprisingly unblocked.
Lu Yan lightly touched the icon with his index finger.
The light screen rippled like water, unfolding a complex skill tree branch diagram.
On the left is a long line containing five small talent nodes.
[Drop Rate Enhancement I: Drop rate increased by 20%]
[Drop Rate Enhancement II: Drop rate increased by 20%]
……
Connecting the five nodes together will ultimately provide an additional 100% drop rate bonus.
In other words, if all talent points are invested on the left side, his current 100x drop rate will directly double to 200x.
Kill one monster and get a 200x drop rate!
It was incredibly tempting, but the experienced Lu Yan looked to the right. He knew that a talent with an effect equal to the extra hundredfold drop rate was definitely not a simple talent.
My gaze shifted to the right and landed on another branch.
The skill tree on the right is unusually clean, with only a single, isolated main node.
There is no preparation or prerequisites; all talent points must be invested at once, 5 points each, to unlock them.
Lu Yan squinted and read the line of instructions word by word.
[Quality Upgrade: Increases the drop rate of items up to 1 grade level.]
The original aura effect forcibly upgraded the equipment by two grades. The highest possible upgrade is Mythic grade equipment.
With this talent added, the span becomes three levels.
What does this mean?
A common piece of equipment that originally dropped as a Silver item was upgraded to Epic after being baptized by an aura, bypassing Gold and Dark Gold.
This is terrifying enough.
What truly warmed Lu Yan's heart was the supplementary description hidden at the very bottom of the skill description.
It can reach the highest level.
Supreme.
These two words are currently missing from the Awakened Ones database, falling into a blind spot where no such word can be found.
Humanity has explored the Stargate Secret Realm for so many years, paying countless blood and flesh prices, and the highest level of equipment they have reached is "Myth".
Whether it's the Western White Eagle Empire or China's top military forces, their ultimate goal is nothing more than to collect one or two mythical items with powerful rules and mechanisms.
Beyond mythology, there is something else?
Lu Yan recalled the incredible attributes of those mythical equipment.
The 【饕餮】's unconditional monster-plundering mechanism allows you to turn the enemy's strengths into your own.
The unlimited vulnerability and healing reduction from [Withered Heart] completely negate the BOSS's healing and damage reduction.
These things have already reached the bottleneck of equipment. What kind of scene awaits at the "Supreme," which transcends mythology?
Tampering with the rules of the secret realm?
Ignore spatial judgment?
Or should the wearer be directly granted... divine authority?
This allure of power that transcends dimensions is an irresistible poison for any ambitious person.
Western powers have long relied on their monopoly of high-level secret realm resources to swagger and bully others on the international stage.
If China were to pull out a "supreme" piece of equipment, it could absolutely change the balance of offense and defense!
Without any further hesitation.
Lu Yan pointed his fingers like a sword and placed them on the lonely node on the right.
The five accumulated talent points transformed into streams of light, all of which were poured into it.
The light screen trembled violently, bursting out with a dazzling golden halo that illuminated the entire dimly lit dormitory.
A system notification sound rang crisply in my ears.
[100x Drop Rate LV2: Drop rate increased by 100x. Item quality is forcibly upgraded by three major tiers (maximum obtainable: Supreme-level equipment).]
Lu Yan let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair.
The lettering on the panel stabilized.
He closed his eyes, and the schedule in his mind began to rearrange itself.
The supplies in the Jiangcheng base warehouse are enough for the logistics department to make a big deal with major guilds and conglomerates. The return on investment will be much faster than expected.
With money, you can buy tickets to higher-level secret realms.
The previous Pirate Realm and Peach Blossom Realm only yielded items at the level of legendary to epic. Even with the three major upgrades, the probability of getting "Supreme" items in these pools was extremely low.
To verify the effectiveness of this new talent, we must knock on the doors of those high-risk restricted areas that are classified as S-level or even SS-level.
Those death zones that even top guilds dare not easily venture into, where the casualty rate often exceeds 80%.
Lu Yan thought that for him, having a ready-made secret realm would be both safe and a great way to obtain a lot of equipment.
"Let's head to the Pirate's Lair first thing the next morning and go again!"
