Chapter 913 - 389: Plane Son (Part 2)
"Item Name: Demon-Breaking Mark Stamping Mold"
"Item Type: Special"
"Item Skills: Demon-Breaking Mark."
"Skill Description: Through research and improvement of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow Arrow mechanism, combining Mysticism and Industry, forming an improved Demon-Breaking Mark, which can mass-produce Demon-Breaking Bullets through a Steam Press."
"Item Skills: Silver Crossbow Arrow" (King’s Badge unlock)
"Skill Description: When mist containing the Demon-Breaking Mark, driven by Steam Root Power, will deal additional damage to the Transcendent’s source."
Wu Chang looked at the Demon-Breaking Steam Press Core in his hand, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Unsure whether it’s because of Julie’s presence, or because as an official Extraordinary Steam Engine, it uses human life to amplify effects and production capacity doesn’t look good.
The hidden ability of the Demon-Breaking Steam Press Core does not require Life or flesh to activate, it looks very normal.
But upon closer examination, its peculiarity is revealed.
The name of the hidden ability of the Demon-Breaking Steam Press should be a reference to the prototype of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow Arrow, and its effect is similar to the Demon-Breaking Crossbow Arrow, causing extra damage to specific types of targets.
It’s precisely because of the additional damage to the source, that makes the Executioner mowing down opponents on Bai She Avenue so easily, even if players are attacked by bullets, they might die suddenly even if not hit vitally.
The effect of the Silver Crossbow Arrow is strong, but the drive needed to activate it is the Steam Root Power.
And yet, this is where the problem lies.
Since entering the Steam Phantom Plane, every step that Steam Root Power influences the Plane Rules has been due to the Steam Council and Peace Church, and the Steam Explosive containing Steam Root Power also comes from the Steam Council.
On the surface, the Stilan official does not possess the methods to use Steam Root Power, so why would they set it this way in the hidden power of the Demon-Breaking Steam Press?
Is it that Stilan official also has something similar to Steam Explosive, or do they have a way to let the Root Power influence Plane Rules, just have not implemented it?
He put aside his speculation, and when the prompt "You have obtained an Industrial Crown Pearl" appeared, he threw the core to Cold Mountain and Sword Star, sharing the gains.
The requirement of the main quest two is to obtain at least one Industrial Crown Pearl, the more obtained, the higher the dungeon exploration degree will be.
Cold Mountain and Sword Star are meticulous in their work, both got the prompt, then handed the core to the Priest, helping the Priest complete the main quest two as well.
After all, without the Priest, it would indeed be difficult for them to sustain themselves in the slum.
While the three’s attention was on the Extraordinary Steam Engine Core, Wu Chang checked the gains from the two Blood-Colored Wills on the Executioner.
The two Blood-Colored Wills were dark red, with significant resentment.
The two Blood-Colored Wills provided Wu Chang with a total of 3 points of Life, 1 point of Endurance, 4 points of Inspiration, and 2 points of Will.
Besides that, the resentment of Jack of All Trades left Wu Chang with a colored gem.
"Item Name: Heart of Adaptation"
"Item Type: Consumables"
"Artifact Level: B"
"Item Effect: When a player activates the Heart of Adaptation, they will undergo adaptive modification of their physical body according to the current World Plane, granting a body more suited to act in that Plane, the effect will be lifted upon leaving the Plane."
"Note: A qualified Warrior must be able to adapt to fighting in any environment."
Wu Chang weighed the Heart of Adaptation twice, then stored it into his personal space.
The Heart of Adaptation, the effect equivalent to a single-use version of Jack of All Trades, is the most useful ability from Jack of All Trades.
Although Wu Chang hasn’t been to the Realm of Reason, nor has he received related information about the Rational Realm Dungeon, from the Steam Phantom Dungeon it’s not hard to see that Root Power and Plane Rules will be standard in high-difficulty dungeons of the Realm of Reason.
Jack of All Trades’ reincarnation in the Desolate Realm wasn’t outstanding, its combat skills were weaker than same-level combat type reincarnations, nor could it excel in survival compared to the Priest, that’s only because it didn’t enter the correct dungeon, the dungeon difficulty was too low, causing reincarnation’s specialties to be underplayed.
Dungeons with Plane Rules are the stages for Jack of All Trades to shine.
Just like in the Steam Phantom Plane, under Grimland’s heavy smog, even ranked players have their abilities greatly restricted, but Jack of All Trades, transformed into mechanical life, can freely act within Steam Rules.
Not only is combat not affected, it can even gain Steam Rules bonuses to a certain extent.
If used correctly, the Heart of Adaptation will not fall short of its B-Level Consumable Items rating.
Wu Chang’s attention turned to the Attribute Panel, the reward from the Gunslinger’s Blood-Colored Will was not an Item, but a Skill.
"Skill Name: Flesh and Blood Spear"
"Skill Level: A"
"Skill Effect: Fusing the firearm into one’s flesh, entering the Gunslinger Form, during the Gunslinger duration, reduces 1 point of Life maximum per minute, duration 24 hours."
"Status Name: Gunslinger"
"Status Effect: Condense any part of the body into a large variable-form firearm, load oneself or other source of flesh within, can transform into Blood Bullet."
"Blood Bullet: Based on different flesh loaded, Blood Bullet will condense different entries, choose one entry to retain as special effect of Blood Bullet. If using one’s own flesh as bullet, can retain two entry effects."
Although there were only two Blood-Colored Wills from the Executioner, the rewards from these two Blood-Colored Wills were exactly what Wu Chang wanted.
The Flesh and Blood Spear skill is his second A-Level Skill obtained after Blind Abyss.
