Chapter 215: Abundant Harvest

Continuing to look further down, the reward for the top three hundred contributors is one flat peach each.

【Underdeveloped Qingse Flat Peach: An immature fruit borne in the Queen Mother of the West's flat peach orchard in heaven; consuming it increases lifespan by 300 years and all attributes by +3. (Ignores the per‑level attribute increase limit.)】

A fruit that can increase lifespan and attributes, and Chen Shicheng immediately noticed the final note.

Just like his current Ao Blood Tattoo, this flat peach can ignore the attribute increase limit per realm, meaning his attributes, which are already at the limit, can gain an extra +3!

It seems this so‑called attribute limit isn't set in stone; the conditions to raise it are harsh, requiring a primordial spiritual root from ancient legend.

Further down are the rewards for the top one hundred: each person receives a so‑called custom‑made piece of equipment.

However, this "custom" may be somewhat exaggerated; it's not tailored to personal needs, but rather assigns you a piece of equipment that is relatively most useful based on your traits.

Likewise, depending on each person's contribution, the equipment quality varies; his contribution is first, so he receives an immortal‑artifact‑grade item, while ranks two through one hundred likely get spiritual‑artifact‑grade, and lower ranks may fall to magic‑treasure‑grade.

Even so, this greatly boosts players' power; after this mission, they are likely to experience a surge in strength.

【Azure Silk Step-Cloud Shoes (Immortal Artifact): Standard equipment of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals; movement‑type skill true essence consumption –50%, movement‑type skill level +2, plus the skill "Ascension": within each natural month, you may use the Southern Heaven Gate to teleport once to any corner of the Earth Immortal Realm.】

All the abilities attached to this shoe‑type immortal artifact concern movement‑type skills, and it also includes a transport skill: Ascension. Compared to the Yinxiang Incense he currently holds, although it can be used only once a month, its transport range covers the entire Earth Immortal Realm.

What does that mean? It means he can leisurely stroll around every country in the world.

Who would have thought? In real life he's hardly left his province a few times, yet in the game he can freely travel abroad—talk about turning the world upside down.

One can only say, no wonder it's equipment of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals; even a low‑level deity, by virtue of the Southern Heaven Gate's power, can cover the whole Earth Immortal Realm.

Moreover, unlike the previous plate and compass, this equipment completely solves Chen Shicheng's problem of being unable to upgrade Compress Earth to an Inch due to lack of merit points; equipping it lets him use it right away—truly perfect.

Satisfied, he put the shoes on his feet, turned off the immortal artifact's flashy special effect, and continued scrolling down.

After equipping, only a title remains— the exclusive title for first place in the Breaker formation mission.

【Power to Turn the Tide: Players who participate in the Breaker formation mission and contribute the most can obtain this title; it can be displayed before the ID on the official forum to showcase their contribution, and in the game they may freely choose whether to show it above their head.】

He was quite puzzled.

Compared to the nearly ubiquitous "Breaker" title, this one adds a function that can be displayed in the game.

But how to describe this function? It's like some cheap, shoddy pay‑to‑win mobile game—aside from making you look a bit "NB," it has no real effect, and might even earn you secret curses of "S. B" from other players. Moreover, the title can't be worn casually, because entering the game with it exposed amounts to revealing that you're a "son of a rat," and your disguise falls off at once.

But on second thought, this title also serves as insurance for his alter ego: normally he uses "Breaker" on the forum, while in the game he wears "Power to Turn the Tide," making it impossible for anyone to confuse the two.

Now it's secure!

Now the basic and extra rewards have been tallied, but there's still a main event unopened—the mysterious reward for the final strike that destroys the Four‑Element Exorcism Array disk. 【Mystery Gift Box: Upon opening, you receive one related item based on a random item you currently possess.】

That's it?

Chen Shicheng was somewhat surprised.

The value of this gift box is hard to gauge; opening it likely links to miscellaneous items in your storage slot, then randomly yields something worthless.

Of course, there are other ways; he tried moving everything on his person into his storage bag, then handed it to La Tiao, leaving only the Stealing Heaven Pendant on him, let it run far away, and opened the mystery gift box.

But the result was somewhat disappointing; his little trick didn't fool the gift box's judgment, and it still randomly selected an item from his storage bag.

【Mystery Copper Piece (Five): A fragment shrouded by mysterious power, its specific details cannot be ascertained; gathering three pieces reveals their content, visible only to Returnees.】

The value of this copper piece cannot be defined before three are collected.

However, an item that even the relic Eye of Bai Ze cannot appraise must have some value; what exactly it is can only be shown after obtaining a copper piece.

Chen Shicheng shook his head, retrieved the equipment from his storage bag, then took out Mystery Copper Pieces Five and Six and put them together.

"Ding!"

The two copper pieces with consecutive numbers merged into one upon contact; although there was a visible crack in the middle, Chen Shicheng tried to bend them twice but couldn't separate them.

Moreover, after the two pieces were joined, their rough shape could be discerned—likely the bottom part of a token.

Judging by size, the whole token should consist of six copper pieces combined; any further information cannot be discerned.

So, was the mystery gift box a gain or a loss? "Here, the true essence in the Blood Killing Pearl is already full."

Just as Chen Shicheng was still judging the copper piece's value, the general shoved the Blood Killing Pearl into his arms, bringing him back to his senses.

"Oh, thanks." He casually slipped the Blood Killing Pearl into his dantian, then Chen Shicheng glanced at the players on the scene.

Around the altar at this moment, countless players stared blankly into the void before them; obviously, like him, they were tallying their own gains.

"Since things have come to an end, I too must return to report to His Holy Majesty. What about you—are you staying or..." The general stood beside him, followed his gaze, and said while eye‑eyeing the players giggling foolishly.

"Staying here would be pointless anyway; I'll go on with my own affairs. Until we meet again."

Chen Shicheng shook his head, prepared to leave with La Tiao, but after just a few steps he suddenly remembered something, turned back, and called out to the general.

"Right, the altar's remains here should still be worth something; another wave of players will come later, so if possible, hand over the cleanup duty to them." (End of chapter)
