Chapter 59

【Mana Points: +400】

【Skill: Shadow Mana Return. This skill is a passive effect; as long as one stands within shadows, one can recover Mana Points by absorbing dark power. Recovery efficiency is 30 points per second.】

…

"Hmm?"

"Passive effect!"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow.

As long as one stands within shadows and darkness, one can rapidly recover Mana Points?

This effect seems somewhat interesting.

However.

The recovery efficiency is a bit low.

Recovering only thirty points per second means one thousand eight hundred points per minute.

And to recover his Mana Points from zero to full.

It would take at least four to five minutes...

Of course.

In many situations.

One does not need to recover from zero.

"Thinking this way."

"It seems somewhat useful."

Jiang Li stroked his chin and pondered.

If potions run out or in critical moments, Shadow Mana Return can play an important role; it is just that the prerequisite is a bit annoying: one must be within shadows or darkness.

If going out during the day, or finding oneself in an open place.

Then the effect of the Shadow Mana Ring would be greatly weakened.

"Ring of the Veiled Multitude and Shadow Mana Ring."

"If choosing one between them, the Shadow Mana Ring is still slightly more useful."

After a moment.

Jiang Li cast aside such thoughts; there was still one last option he had not checked.

"Shadow Ring?"

"Let's see what abilities you have..."

…

【Equipment: Shadow Ring】

【Level: Lv. 5 to equip】

【Quality: Bronze】

【Skill: Shadow Stealth, dive into shadows, allowing movement within shadows. While moving, one's agility is reduced to 50% of the original. Casting time: 3s. Duration: 15s. Cooldown: 30s.】

…

"Shadow Stealth?"

"Sss..."

Jiang Li lightly inhaled.

This Shadow Ring is very special; it carries no attribute bonuses.

However, the skill it possesses, "Shadow Stealth," is extremely powerful.

The Shadow Ring is somewhat similar to the Shadow Veil Ring and the Ring of the Veiled Multitude; all belong to concealment abilities.

But the difference is.

The Shadow Veil Ring causes oneself to become invisible within darkness, and one cannot move.

Whereas the Shadow Ring... directly dives into the shadows!

Although within the shadows, speed is reduced to fifty percent of the original.

But the flaw does not overshadow the merit.

Merely being able to move freely within shadows is enough to be called formidable!

Such an ability.

Whether used for ambush or escape, it is of the highest tier.

"The most regrettable thing is that it can only last ten seconds..."

The only thing Jiang Li was dissatisfied with.

Was the duration.

"If it could be increased to thirty seconds, or even one minute, then this ring would be invincible..."

Jiang Li couldn't help but think greedily.

And at this moment.

He suddenly felt his spirit lift, thinking of a way... "Increase? It seems not impossible?"

"I seem to have not tried secondary synthesis yet."

"If I gather three Shadow Rings and synthesize them to Bai Yin tier..."

"Could that extend the duration?"

Such thoughts arose in Jiang Li's heart.

The more he thought.

He felt it was even more likely.

"Counting this one here, which is not yet confirmed."

"I am still two Shadow Black Rings short of the three needed for synthesis."

"And one Shadow Black Ring requires three Shadow Veil Rings to synthesize, which means... I still need to buy six Shadow Veil Rings to synthesize two Shadow Black Rings..."

"I don't know if the trading market has that many..."

Jiang Li pondered for a moment. He still decided to search the market first.

Before this, he did not forget to confirm his choice.

【Ding!】

【Choice complete!】

【Congratulations, you have obtained: Bronze · Shadow Black Ring!】

He slid the Shadow Black Ring onto his hand.

Jiang Li acted quickly, moving from stall to stall to buy and trade.

Half a day later.

Jiang Li finally stopped.

"Huff..."

"Finally collected them all!"

Jiang Li wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Looking at the three million in money reduced from his backpack, his heart ached faintly.

However.

When he saw the six Shadow Veil Rings laid out neatly, his mood became cheerful again.

"Now let's synthesize!"

Jiang Li opened the synthesis window.

He first placed in three Shadow Veil Rings.

A new prompt immediately popped up before his eyes.

【Ding!】

【You have placed in: Iron · Shadow Veil Ring!】
