Nie Yan’s gaze scanned every corner between the trees, finally stopping on a small tree at the foot of a cliff, and then his eyes could not move away anymore.
This small tree was only as high as his knee, with many branches, resembling a jade sculpture, crystal clear and dazzling. In the middle of the leaves grew a red fruit, like a cherry, delicate and dripping with beauty.
This was the Red Urn Fruit. Nie Yan never expected such a treasure to appear in a low-level map!
Nie Yan still clearly remembered the price of the Red Urn Fruit on the website in his previous life. Each fruit sold for hundreds of gold coins, and each Red Urn Fruit had different attributes.
Nie Yan walked to the edge of the cliff and carefully picked the Red Urn Fruit. Fortunately, he had learned the harvesting skill; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to collect it just by touching it, which would have been a huge loss.
Red Urn Fruit: Rare fruit.
Description: Consuming this fruit increases the player’s Willpower check by +2 permanently.
Limitation: Each player can consume only up to three fruits; any more will have no effect.
The Red Urn Fruit could permanently increase a player’s attributes, and combined with its rarity, it was no wonder it fetched hundreds of gold coins.
Nie Yan considered for a moment. Encountering such a rare opportunity, naturally, he would consume this Red Urn Fruit himself; only a fool would sell it.
+2 Willpower was a decent boost. Willpower was related to a player’s resistance against debuffs such as diseases, poisons, and curses. Increasing Willpower would be very useful both in player-versus-player combat and in defeating monsters, considering that many player classes and monsters had debuff abilities.
Nie Yan put the Red Urn Fruit into his mouth. It melted instantly, turning into a warm stream flowing into his abdomen.
He checked his Willpower attribute, which had increased from 0 to 2.
Having two points of Willpower at a low level was still very useful. After consuming the Red Urn Fruit, Nie Yan wasted no more time and walked deeper into the jungle.
After walking on a small path between wild grasses for about five minutes, he entered deeper into the jungle. The trees were more massive and lush, and the light became dimmer.
Dead leaves covered the ground, extending far into the distance.
Between the dense trees, a beam of light pierced down, appearing even purer and brighter in the darkness.
In the middle of the beam stood a stone-carved pillar about one yard high. On the tip of the pillar lay a thick book. The pages, eroded by wind and rain, were somewhat old and torn, seemingly telling of its ancient era.
Nie Yan still remembered that this book was called the “Chronicles of Coexistence,” which narrated all the historical events that occurred during the age of coexistence.
The Chapter of Courage was hidden within this “Chronicles of Coexistence.”
Nie Yan walked to the book and stretched out his right hand toward it. As his fingertips touched the book, it automatically opened, pages flipping rapidly.
“You have discovered this thick chronicle book in the Secret Forest. When you touch it, a mysterious force enters your body. ‘What is this?’ you wonder with curiosity. After the pages open, they are filled with mysterious words sculpted in silvery tin. These are the sealed histories of the Coexistent Era, written in three languages: the Koshart Giant Tongue, the Old Common Tongue, and the Dragon Tongue. You memorize these histories in your mind.”
System: You have learned the Koshart Giant Tongue.
System: You have learned the Dragon Tongue.
System: You have learned the Old Common Tongue.
System: You have acquired the Chronicles of Coexistence Index.
Atlantean Continent had over 300 languages. Previously, Nie Yan had only learned the Common Tongue, the human language. Now, with three new languages added, he checked his information panel and found a new entry: Chronicles of Coexistence Index. This entry described events occurring in various eras.
This information was very valuable, as it could assist Nie Yan in completing many tasks and identifying many items.
With this Chronicles of Coexistence Index, completing tasks related to the Coexistent Era would become much easier, Nie Yan couldn’t help but think.
“‘Huh?’ You are surprised to find that the Chronicles of Coexistence also contained a frontispiece. You pulled out the frontispiece from the chronicles. The dark golden frontispiece had a line of silvery tin words: ‘shdugeusgdk’—in the Koshart Giant Tongue: Chapter of Courage.”
Finally found it, Nie Yan thought with delight, checking the attributes of the Chapter of Courage.
Chapter of Courage: Book III, Volume I of the Book of Order, a legendary item fragment.
Item Description: Holding the Chapter of Courage grants the divine inheritance. Your mission is to spread the glory of the gods.
Item Attributes: For every five levels gained, the holder receives an additional 2 attribute points and 1 skill point. Focus +15, Willpower +15, Tenacity +16, Jump +15, Reflex +15, Speed +16. Skills: Super Insight, Divine Arbitration. Super Insight allows you to know the opponent’s information and identify equipment, providing an additional Perception Check +10. Divine Arbitration, when activated, grants total spell resistance, +500 HP, and an advanced life shield absorbing 60% of damage for five minutes. Skill cooldown: 10 natural days. Current cooldown status: 1/10. (This skill cannot be used inside instances.)
Usage Restriction: This item is restricted to Lawful Good users.
Note: The item’s effects activate immediately upon being placed in the backpack.
For a moment, Nie Yan’s hands trembled slightly. He had seen the attributes of this item online before, but holding it in his hands gave him a completely different feeling. Divine Arbitration was probably the skill used by the guild leader of the Holy Roman Empire, Ban Xing De Hu Li (Half-Awake Fox), who single-handedly killed 200 players. Just the total spell resistance was extremely powerful. With Ban Xing De Hu Li’s already excellent equipment, combined with total spell resistance, plus an additional 500 HP and an advanced life shield, his strength was absurdly overwhelming, truly capable of slaying gods. However, the cooldown time for the Chapter of Courage was also very long, requiring 10 natural days. In other words, it would take 10 days to fully recharge. Players would not use this skill lightly unless it was a critical moment.
Besides Divine Arbitration, the other attributes were also very strong, especially the additional 2 attribute points and 1 skill point gained every five levels, which was incredibly satisfying. Among the professions Nie Yan knew, only Shamans, Paladins, and Dark Knights received 7 attribute points every five levels, but their attribute points had to be evenly distributed between intelligence and strength. Single-stat focused Paladins, Shamans, and Dark Knights were practically useless. A Thief gaining 7 attribute points and 2 skill points every five levels, Nie Yan understood exactly what this meant.
Combined with the other attributes, Nie Yan instantly became one of the top experts. The Book of Order was truly worthy of its name as a legendary item.
Nie Yan placed the Chapter of Courage into his backpack and checked his attributes. All his attributes immediately surged.
Once Divine Arbitration’s cooldown was complete, this magic, which could only be recharged every 10 natural days, would possess almost invincible destructive power.
However, from now on, when fighting monsters or engaging in player-versus-player combat, he had to be careful. If he died, the Chapter of Courage would drop unless he could collect the first six chapters of the Book of Order, synthesizing them into Volume I of the Book of Order, to prevent losing it.
Although Nie Yan had obtained the Chapter of Courage, he did not relax his vigilance at all. After placing the Chapter of Courage into his backpack, he took out a Return Scroll and began to activate it.
System: This location cannot activate the Return Scroll.
