Chapter 66: SS-tier passive skill! A massive harvest and a huge boost!

Two skill books, four pieces of equipment, and a monster material resembling a heart.

The moment the chests were opened,

Li Yao's attention was immediately drawn to one of the skill books.

The pages were ancient and yellowed, yet they faintly exuded a deep red glow.

If he hadn't seen wrong earlier, this skill book had come from the 'Rating +1' clearance chest.

The reward for breaking the historical clearance time could only be triggered once every six months by each practitioner.

Come to think of it, that made sense.

If not for this restriction, Li Yao would definitely have intentionally slowed his clearing speed to refresh the time again and again, thereby farming the rewards.

Precisely because of this,

this chest could be considered the one with the highest grade Li Yao had ever obtained.

"It's definitely more than S-tier."

Li Yao stated with certainty, while looking at the skill book.

【Goblin Slayer (SS Passive Skill): Endless Slaughterer, the root of fear for the Goblin race. Increases all damage dealt to Goblin-type creatures by 30%; increases all damage dealt to non-Goblin-type creatures by 15%.】

"A passive skill?!"

Li Yao couldn't help but exclaim.

It was no wonder Li Yao was so composed; if it were anyone else, they would have screamed even louder.

You have to understand,

skills are divided into passive and active.

Active skills are more like weapons;

they can amplify one's own strength and multiply one's combat power.

Passive skills, however, are more like one's foundation.

Once possessed, they are in effect at all times.

Things that enhance one's foundation have self-evident value, and their drop rate is infuriatingly low.

Let alone an SS-tier passive skill, even A-tier or B-tier ones would cause people to fight tooth and nail for them anywhere.

This Goblin Slayer book

displayed the power of an SS-tier skill before Li Yao in a simple, unadorned manner.

The first attribute didn't actually matter much, as it could only be triggered in specific scenarios.

The most crucial part was the latter one:

a 15% damage boost against all non-Goblin groups.

There were no restrictions; as long as damage was dealt, it was unconditionally boosted by 15%.

Unlike equipment, skills don't become obsolete; this attribute would follow Li Yao forever.

"This is the real deal."

"The kind of thing that truly separates top-tier practitioners from ordinary ones."

"The kind of thing ordinary practitioners can't touch in their entire lives."

Li Yao sighed.

Even if he were asked to trade his entire 【Kingship】 set for this skill book, he would be one hundred percent willing!

Speaking of the 【Kingship】 set,

Li Yao hurriedly looked at the four pieces of equipment lying quietly on the ground.

Two were Gold-tier, and two were Platinum-tier.

Master difficulty has a high probability of dropping Silver equipment and a low probability of Gold.

Nightmare difficulty has a high probability of dropping Gold equipment and a low probability of Platinum.

The fifty-fifty probability was the reason Li Yao had praised Qin Yue's luck.

However,

what made Li Yao feel uncomfortable was that although these four pieces of equipment had excellent attributes, none of them belonged to the 【Kingship】 set.

Among them,

only one piece was barely suitable for Li Yao to wear himself.

【Summoning Master Waistband (Waist)】

【Quality: Platinum】

【Equipment Requirement: Level 15】

【Equipment Attribute 1: Stamina +40, Spirit +40, Agility +40】

【Equipment Attribute 2: Summoning Expert (Passive): Summoning-type skills require no chanting time.】

【Durability: 180/180】

Li Yao found it hard to evaluate this piece of equipment.

His summoning technique had been upgraded by the Hex system into Chess Piece Summoning.

Summoning chess pieces didn't require chanting time to begin with.

The only reason Li Yao wore it was for the high four-dimensional stat boost, which lived up to the name of Platinum-tier equipment.

"I can find an opportunity to ask around,"

"about what other Summoners think of this attribute."

Li Yao thought to himself, then looked at the final item.

【Goblin King's Heart (Boss Material)】

【Refining Conditions: Level 20, Alchemy LV7, Forging LV4, Spirit Melting LV1】

【Description: Core crafting material for the Grand General's Sword and the King's Ring. Contains the supreme resentment of the Goblin race. Difficult to refine. Has a chance to drop in Goblin Lair (Nightmare), Evil Land (Master), and Ingestion Cave (Master).】

"It finally came."

Li Yao smiled with satisfaction.

He had heard of the Evil Land; it was a super-large dungeon on the northern border of the Dragon Nation, near Jindu, a place one would only encounter after the Fourth Advancement.

In there, Goblins were considered the weakest group, and there were many other evil things.

"But which dungeon is this Ingestion Cave?" Li Yao wondered.

However, he didn't dwell on it; the world was vast, and there were plenty of dungeons he hadn't heard of.

After counting the loot, Li Yao looked at his attribute panel.
