Chapter 3228

Seeing the first item on the faction list, Su Xiao knew he had come to the right place.

How many scroll fragments are in the Sand World is hard to determine accurately. Using the Nightmare World as a standard, there are a total of 23–30 scroll fragments there, including those once held by Dudu Gugu and the Skeleton Gambler.

The Sand World is far more vast than the Nightmare World, and it differs fundamentally from the Nightmare World. Here, one must consume scroll fragments to normally maintain everything currently in existence. It is estimated that the scroll fragments here might be more numerous than in the Nightmare World, but not to an exaggerated degree.

Estimating this way, searching the whole world for scroll fragments, or going to fight the Sun Monarch to the death to seize them, is really not as good as developing within the Sun Church. There are 21 scroll fragments here. If no one comes to snatch them, Su Xiao has the confidence to take them all.

Let others go to the Sun Monarch to seize scroll fragments; Su Xiao will silently watch from the sidelines and make a fortune in silence within the Sun Church. This is the most secure choice.

If they really fight until their heads are broken and blood is flowing, Su Xiao wouldn't mind going to watch the excitement; there might even be unexpected gains.

Setting these thoughts aside for now, Su Xiao continued to check the faction list. There are hundreds of items in this list, which shows the depth of the Sun Church's foundation. Scrolling down the list, item after item appeared before Su Xiao's eyes.

If completely damaged, one can replace it with new set parts for free using the fragments.

There is a huge pile of items below, and the first 20 are all good things. Unfortunately, Su Xiao only has 4,756 reputation points.

He pondered for a moment and decided to exchange for the 【Sun Church Set】. This set has nine pieces in total, and one only needs to wear five to fully activate the set effects.

Or rather, this set has two different characteristics: melee/Sun Miracle, which commonly means melee and ranged.

The melee set is: Bucket Helmet, Cruel-series melee weapon, Cruel Leather Armor, Black Trousers, Cruel Leather Shoes.

The ranged set is: Bucket Helmet, Holy Ring Pendant, Faith Robe, Legging Cloth, Threaded Velvet Shoes.

Within the Sun Church, those wearing lean black leather armor are the melee type, and those in gold-black robes are the ranged type.

Regardless of whether it is the ranged set or the melee set, one must wear the Bucket Helmet. Without the Sun Bucket Helmet, the set effects cannot be triggered.

With these two set combinations, the melee type has Cruel-series weapons, and the ranged type has the 【Holy Ring Pendant】, each with its own advantages.

【You have consumed 500 reputation points.】

【You obtained Sun Bucket Helmet (Holy Spirit-grade, Set, Head).】

【You obtained Cruel Saw Blade (Holy Spirit-grade, Set, Light/Heavy Weapon, Switchable).】

【You obtained Cruel Leather Armor (Holy Spirit-grade, Set, Upper Body Armor).】

【You obtained Black Trousers (Holy Spirit-grade, Set, Lower Body Armor).】

【You obtained Cruel Leather Shoes (Holy Spirit-grade, Set, Footwear).】

Su Xiao checked the attributes of the 【Sun Bucket Helmet】 in his hand. The one he was wearing now

was the 【Church Knight Bucket Helmet】. The appearance of the two was exactly the same, but the abilities inherent to the equipment were different.

Church Knight Bucket Helmet - Equipment Effect: Mind Restraint (Passive). After wearing this equipment, the maximum Sanity value is temporarily reduced by 50%, but it can significantly suppress the rate of Sanity value decrease.

Sun Bucket Helmet - Equipment Effect: Mind Indomitability (Passive). After wearing this equipment, the maximum Sanity value is increased by 50%, but the rate of Sanity value decrease will increase.

Between the two effects, the former reduces Sanity damage and increases corresponding resistance, allowing the Sanity value to slide down more slowly. The latter increases the maximum Sanity value, but the corresponding resistance is reduced, and it is possible for the Sanity value to plummet.

Both bucket helmets can serve as core parts of the set. This is clearly an internal philosophy of the Sun Church, a change that appeared with the passage of time.

The Sun Church of the past required that Sanity value did not necessarily have to be high, but one's heart had to be firm. Now, it is that Sanity value must be high; otherwise, a firm heart is useless.

Su Xiao prefers the latter, which is wearing the 【Sun Bucket Helmet】. This is the bucket helmet characteristic decided by the Sun Church in response to the environment, making it more suitable for the present. Some things are not better or stronger just because they are older. There is a classic saying: "My lord, the times have changed."

Su Xiao checked the remaining four pieces of the Sun set. For the next period of time, he would have to wear this set. To make a fortune in silence within the Sun Church, this was a must.

The defense of the 【Cruel Leather Armor】 is quite good, with exceptionally high resistance to Light, Sun Miracles, Fire, and Beasts, and its resistance to Darkness and Erosion is also not low. From this, it can be seen that the things Sun believers usually do are very dangerous; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to produce such excellent armor.

It is worth mentioning that the 【Cruel Leather Armor】 is different from the 【Night of the Wild Hunt】 Su Xiao is currently wearing. It is not a long leather coat; the 【Cruel Leather Armor】 is a short leather coat that swings to a position slightly below the belt, with a slim-fit style.

The 【Black Trousers】 have similar characteristics to the 【Cruel Leather Armor】, but with higher resistance to Beasts. The beast resistance mentioned here is not the conventional beast, but those monsters that appear due to mental beastification. Resistance to the attacks of these monsters is collectively referred to as beast resistance.

The 【Cruel Leather Shoes】 slightly increase running speed. Clearly, Sun believers are often chasing something.

The final 【Cruel Saw Blade】, which is the weapon, at first glance, is a heavy blade nearly 1.3 meters long, 12 cm wide, and nearly 2.3 cm thick. It has a slight recurve arc, and the edge is full of sharp saw teeth. It is long and heavy enough that one swing would surely split the prey in two. Judging from the length of the handle, holding it with both hands is more comfortable.

The design of this 【Cruel Saw Blade】 is very ingenious. A section at the end of its handle can be rotated half a turn. As long as you rotate the end half a turn and then draw the blade from behind, you can pull out a saw-edged long blade 112 cm long. This is a weapon more suitable for one-handed use, with a faster slashing speed.

The width of this saw-edged long blade is about 3 cm, and its thickness is similar to a normal long blade. The remaining part of the 【Cruel Saw Blade】 is like a scabbard. After inserting the saw-edged long blade back in and turning the end handle, it becomes a heavy, two-handed saw blade again.

This design of the 【Cruel Saw Blade】 indicates that Sun believers usually encounter enemies of various sizes. When encountering large enemies, they use the heavy long blade/two-handed grip form of the 【Cruel Saw Blade】. When encountering agile ones, they draw the internal saw-edged long blade to hack the enemy to death with a faster slashing speed.

The Cruel-series saw gun/saw spear/saw hammer, etc., all have similar designs. The saw gun among them has three forms: after retracting, it is a short melee gun; after unfolding, it is a long spear; after folding into two pieces, it is a short gun + a primitive version of a shotgun. One hand holds cold steel to prevent being approached, and the other hand uses the primitive shotgun to blast the enemy into a hornet's nest.

The 【Cruel Saw Blade】 is a weapon in the Holy Spirit-grade set, but do not underestimate its lethality. When dealing with mentally beastified enemies, this weapon will carry high amounts of True Damage + defense reduction effects. The more you hack, the weaker the enemy's defense becomes.

In addition to the attributes of individual pieces, after Su Xiao wore all five pieces of the 【Sun Church Set】, he also activated two set attributes.

Set Effect 1: Mind Amplification (Passive), maximum Sanity value increased by 50 points.

Current Sanity value: 539/545 points.

Set Effect 2: Justice of the Sun (Passive), when you fight in coordination with other Sun believers, for every additional Sun believer beside you, your True Strength, True Agility, True Stamina, True Intelligence, and True Charm attributes will each increase by 2 points (due to the Hunter's personal reasons, the Charm attribute increase is ineffective).

Notification: This set effect can increase True Strength, True Agility, True Stamina, True Intelligence, and True Charm attributes by a maximum of 10 points!

Notification: When the set effect reaches its maximum value, a stronger Sun Power buff will be activated. Sun Power will nourish your body. After you are injured, the recovery speed of your Health value will be determined based on the severity of your injury (the more severe the injury, the higher the recovery intensity brought by this effect).

Set introduction: Justice's... gang fight?
