Bound\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The major story mission “Faith War” is complete]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[All participating players have received 30,000 experience points, 5,000 contribution value, 30 resurrection coins, 1 luck lottery ticket, and an exclusive blue rare title “Guardian of Faith”]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the sun rose again, all players who participated in this unprecedented story battle received a new system notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission… was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the system messages flash before their eyes and the large rewards credited to their accounts, all players were excited…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many couldn’t wait to equip the new title, and then a line of blue text appeared under their IDs—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guardian of Faith”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, having a title made all the difference; it looked much more pleasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war came suddenly but ended just as swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The army of thirty thousand, the most elite troops of the Half-Beast Royal Court, were almost entirely wiped out in less than two days within Black Dragon Castle and the Dark Mountain Range…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the fleeing Half-Beast troops experienced a day and night of players’ pursuit, leaving only a few lucky ones who hid deep within the Dark Mountain Range, escaping thanks to the limited range of players’ activities…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, only a few lucky ones managed such a feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast majority of Half-Beasts were turned into player experience points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Black Dragon Castle heading south, the path was littered with gear left by fallen Half-Beasts, as well as players focused on looting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players looted so much equipment that their hands became numb, and they were already desensitized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of the chase, they desired the heads of Half-Beasts more than their equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because… there were just too many Half-Beasts killed this time, and their equipment had become completely devalued, long since worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, the high experience points and game mall lottery tickets were more enticing to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the prize pool opened up, more than one Luck King had drawn a gold-tier legendary item, envying many non-Luck players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the poor quality of Half-Beast equipment was also a reason players weren’t interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without remaking it, only beginners would consider using such quality gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps at the game’s launch, everyone treated them as treasures, but now that better ones could be exchanged in the mall, nobody cared for these trash items anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, offering these junk items to the Goddess was also a good option, as you could trade them for a bit of contribution value from the generous Goddess…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the war, many players gathered in an inconspicuous corner near Black Dragon Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They avoided the line of sight of NPCs like Alice, joyfully carving sacrificial arrays and offering unusable Half-Beast equipment, along with damaged gear, to the Goddess through glitches in the game system to surreptitiously earn some contribution value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accumulate little by little, and it’s still quite delightful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… after the war ended, Eve soon found a big pile of junk popping up in her Divine Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Eve welcomed it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She repaired it a bit with Divine Power, altered the appearance, added some effects, then tagged it with a touching price, and put it all up in the system mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to say that all the gear obtained by players was trash would be inaccurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the items dropped by Half-Beasts, there were indeed some rare treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most famous among them were the Priest Robe dropped by the Half-Beast’s Chief Priest and the Lion Heart Sword of Lionheart King Imsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two items, after system appraisal, were Silver Upper-tier equipment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, silver-tier equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although both Half-Beasts were Gold Professionals, their equipment was still of silver level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all… the scarcity of Half-Beast resources was well-known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these two items among silver equipment were still very good, much better than the plain Half-Beast Priest Robe Li Mu acquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, the Half-Beast’s Chief Priest’s robe came with the effects [Accelerated Meditation] and [Enhanced Perception].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even by system evaluation, it was undoubtedly a purple epic equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the system description of the Lion Heart Sword was even more remarkable—a Divine Artifact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Divine Artifact passed down among Half-Beasts, the King’s Sword symbolizing the royal power of the Half-Beasts—the Lion Heart Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was only of silver level, it indeed contained traces of Uller’s Divine Power, possessing the effects [Sharpness], [Intimidation], and [Freezing].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three effects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To gauge the quality level of equipment, it’s enough to see how many effects it has.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those without effects are common white tier, one effect is blue rare, two effects is purple epic, three effects is gold-tier legendary… As for more, players hadn’t seen them, so they naturally assumed three was the max.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm… all rights of equipment evaluation interpretation belonged to the official game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short… this was a Silver Upper-tier gold-tier legendary equipment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Lion Heart Sword might be less impressive than other gold-tier legendary items in the exchange mall… it was indeed a genuine gold-tier legendary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And… it’s of silver tier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said this was, up till now, the most incredible equipment to appear in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because this piece of equipment was obtained by hundreds of players, dividing it wasn’t easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussions, they could only distribute the contribution points through auctioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, considering that this was a Silver Upper-tier equipment, unprecedented and far exceeding the exchange limits of the mall, more limited than limited editions… no player was sure of its actual value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… after player discussions, they decided to find a time for a server-wide auction, and the highest bidder would win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Eve learned of this, she did not intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a silver-level equipment. Though it was indeed powerful, ultimately, there was only one, and it couldn’t disrupt the game’s balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, high-level equipment could only be fully utilized by those of high levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be remarkable if players wielding this sword could even exhibit a tenth of its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it’s just a piece of equipment; it’s not an entire golden suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the attack power soared, there was still a risk of downfall due to carelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the appearance of the Lion Heart Sword did give Eve a new idea:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As players grow, they’re bound to encounter more such rare items. Perhaps… I should also prepare a binding function? Or… a recognizing master function?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Segis World, weapons that could recognize a master were all Divine Artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they needed to be at least Half-God Artifacts or above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Lion Heart Sword, a sub-Divine Artifact, was indeed a Divine Artifact, it didn’t have the master recognition function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such Divine Artifacts were the most common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… this idea could work! Call it binding! Weapons would be integrated into the game system, marked as personal, and players could transport their weapons upon death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Additionally, apart from the player themselves, other players would not be able to harness the weapon’s bound effect, similar to the recognizing master effect of Divine Artifacts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, maintaining the game system like this would consume more; though not much more, it shouldn’t be in vain…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… let’s do it this way. There could be a binding maintenance buff for equipment; players could bind equipment but would need to deduct some experience points or contribution value to maintain the binding; yes… that’s the necessary maintenance for binding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, this shouldn’t be explicit; it should be covert. During player binding, just prompt that binding weapons could impose certain mental burdens, possibly leading to slight reductions in experience point and contribution value acquisition!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really am a genius!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1267,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.252Z",1,"novelbin.me","f551ea29797835b9a0b82e50f1f995b93afee2caef7abe5ab936f79208bff33d","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-267","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-265",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
