Inside the item list, two items radiating purple light lay quietly.
The one on the left was a building model, and the one on the right was also a building model, though they did not look the same.
He tapped the left one lightly.
"Gravity Field (Purple)"
"Category: Special Building"
"Construction: This special building is constructed from 'two purple-grade anomalous artifacts (Gravity Ball, Field Isolation)' and 'thirteen blue-grade anomalous artifacts,' along with several mysterious materials, all fused together by a special power."
"Function: Within the range of this building, gravity multiples can be freely adjusted, and the area can be divided into zones. The maximum gravity multiple is 100x."
"Remarks: Using this building requires the consumption of anomaly crystals or other energy. The higher the multiplier activated, the more anomaly crystals are needed."
Gravity!
Under a gravity environment, it would undoubtedly be excellent for tempering one's physique.
This was a special building?
Compared to the training equipment given away by the training ground, this gravity field was leagues ahead.
"After all, one was given for free, and the other was obtained through a fate draw. A big difference is natural."
"Those free training equipment are useful for ordinary people and low-level awakened ones, but for me and the other apostles, their utility is not as great. The training ground is mainly for durability."
Of course, there were also buffs.
However, buffs could be solidified onto other areas and buildings. Solidifying them onto the 'Gravity Field' should also be possible.
"This special building should be placed... outside, to maximize its value. Of course, the pricing needs to be considered carefully."
After all, there were maintenance costs.
He believed the apostles and the little leeks who hadn't joined yet would love it.
And the one who would love it most... well, it would undoubtedly be Brother Black Saber.
Fang You could already foresee Brother Black Saber spending twenty-four hours in the gravity field. This was entirely possible.
Brother Black Saber was also preparing to return.
To learn the skill 'Edge Accumulation.'
"Edge Accumulation (Purple)"
"Description: Attacks can gain a layer of 'Edge.' Edge can enhance the user's lethality and armor-piercing capability. The duration of Edge is 10s (Novice level), with a maximum stack of ten layers (Novice level). Simultaneously, all accumulated Edge can be consumed to trigger an 'Edge Burst,' greatly increasing attack power."
"Learning Requirements: Physique not below 20 points, Spirit not below 5 points, basic skills (Blade, Sword, Spear) not below Master level, and possessing a Novice level Master-grade slashing skill or an Intermediate level Expert-grade slashing skill, before learning."
As expected of a high-grade purple skill, just these learning requirements made Fang You gasp.
In fact, he almost met the conditions, just a little short.
Short of a slashing skill.
He wondered if he could meet the learning requirements by "borrowing" Brother Black Saber's 'Blade Slash'.
He wasn't that shameless.
This skill was intended for Brother Black Saber. His contribution points would be heavily in the negative again this time.
The other special building was called the 'Lotus Pond,' its function similar to the Gravity Field, but it trained spiritual power. The description was rather mystical.
"By sitting atop the Lotus Pond, calming one's mind and remaining unaffected by external influences, one can slowly increase their spirit."
This was very vague.
But it seemed more powerful.
Similar to the 'Gravity Field,' the 'Lotus Pond' special building was also constructed using two top-grade anomalous artifacts and over a dozen ordinary anomalous artifacts as its core.
"No wonder it's an SSR among purple grades. The construction cost alone is at least five, six, or seven purple-grade anomalous artifacts."
And the three gold-grade items...
Anomalous Artifact - Radiant Scepter!
Miracle Blueprint - Lighthouse of Dawn!
Special Building - Place of Inheritance!
However, he couldn't quite understand this special building.
"Place of Inheritance (Gold)"
"Category: Special Building"
"Description 1: Anyone can leave their insights within this building, including but not limited to 'Awakening Experience,' 'Combat Experience,' 'Skill Techniques,' 'Ability Usage,' etc. These insights, after the sedimentation of time, will transform into unique inheritances and be inscribed within the Place of Inheritance."
"Description 2: The specific effects of the Place of Inheritance will depend on the strength, quantity, and temporal sedimentation of the inheritors who leave their insights."
"The current Place of Inheritance is in a blank state and possesses no effects."
This left him baffled.
He had only a slight guess.
"A special building that allows one to leave behind inheritances to cultivate future generations?"
"Since it's gold-grade, its power is undeniable, but..."
"Firstly, it requires powerful individuals to leave behind their inheritances. Only if they are sufficiently strong can their inheritances be inscribed upon it."
"Secondly, it requires temporal sedimentation, and seemingly not a short period..."
Perhaps decades, or years.
However, for him, even a few months felt too long. How long had the 'Spark of Hope' been established?
Not long!
If it required such a long period of sedimentation, it would be a redundant building.
"But that's not right."
"There must be some usage I haven't discovered."
There were too many things to check, and he didn't have time to research this building for now.
After glancing at the descriptions of the scepter and the blueprint, Fang You opened the game log. If he heard correctly, there was a prompt earlier saying his... permission had been upgraded?
The last permission upgrade was so long ago. How long had it been since he last upgraded?
He scrolled back to the prompt and began to review it.
Instantly, his mouth fell open.
"This is a major version upgrade."
...
"Notification: Organization 'Spark of Hope' currently possesses ten Fate Apostles. Conditions met, 'Fate Savior' permission upgraded, 'Dungeon Shuttle' module unlocked, Fate Points +50."
"Notification: Salvation Game functions are now fully unlocked. Fate Points +50."
"Notification: Salvation Game fully activated. Novice Fate Card Pool concluded. Card Pool updated to: Beginner Pool, Intermediate Pool, Advanced Pool, Super Pool."
"Notification: ..."
Compared to the previous permission upgrade when he had three apostles, this time the changes were much greater.
His unique ability 'Heart of the Apostle' had its effects enhanced, its cooldown significantly reduced, and it could now grant free access to 'Skills' and 'Abilities,' instead of just 'Skills' as before.
A dungeon module had also been unlocked.
And,
"The Fate Card Pool has ended? Replaced by four ordinary card pools?!"
While Fate Draws were becoming increasingly expensive, the higher-quality items were also increasing. He was very satisfied with Liu Shang and Qian Mian, whom he had drawn this time.
A ten-pull yielded no "dud" items.
As for the ordinary card pools...
"Beginner Pool: A pool for padding numbers. Don't expect to draw anything good. A ten-pull costs 10 Fate Points."
"Intermediate Pool: A slightly useful pool. Don't expect to draw anything good if you're unlucky. A ten-pull costs 100 Fate Points."
"Advanced Pool: A barely useful pool. It's hard to draw anything good without washing your hands. A ten-pull costs 1000 Fate Points."
"Super Pool: Not unlocked. Unlocked when a 'Crimson-grade' item is drawn."
There were no more specific descriptions.
Fang You glanced at the Fate Points on the game interface and pressed for a 'Beginner Ten-Pull.'
Fate...
There was no vortex of fate, only a pool of water rippling slightly, from which ten rays of light shot out.
White, white, white... white, green!
More specifically: Physical Enhancement Potion x6, White Training Card x3, Green Training Card x1.
A guaranteed green?
"This probability is not right."
"What did I draw on my third Fate Draw previously?"
He seemed to have drawn Sister An, and two blues?
Drawing An Jianyou might have been lucky, but at least he got a blue-grade item. This beginner pool, however, yielded nothing.
"Maybe I'm just unlucky."
"Don't panic, let's try the Intermediate Pool again."
It wasn't that he couldn't control his spending, but rather that he needed to understand the new card pools to plan how to use his Fate Points in the future.
So he decided to try the Intermediate Pool.
100 Fate Points, which was already a bit pricey, equivalent to more than half a day's income for the organization.
It was only enough for one ten-pull.
Ding!
This time, more violent ripples appeared in the pool, with blue light... and purple light bursting forth!
"Skill Training Card (White)" x2
"Skill Training Card (Green)" x2
"Skill Training Card (Blue)" x2
"Skill Book: Blade Slash (Green)"
"Skill Book: Iron Bones (Green)"
"Offensive Anomalous Artifact Embryo Stone (Blue)"
"Seed of Skill (Purple)"
Three blues and one purple. Overall, not bad... not bad at all! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
"The probability of drawing high-grade items is still lower than before, but at least it's more reliable than the Beginner Pool."
"Looking on the bright side, this time I got a new skill, 'Iron Bones,' which is a very versatile skill. Its value far exceeds that of a green-grade item, and it's definitely more precious than an ordinary anomalous artifact."
"The Seed of Skill is also great, allowing me to inherit a blue skill. Four to five times, it's equivalent to many blue skill books. It's a blood profit."
"Compared to the Fate Ten-Pull that guaranteed high-grade items but might not be useful, some mid-to-low-grade items might be more valuable and have higher usage rates."
"It might not be that bad."
This was him forcing himself to think positively.
Otherwise, what could he do? Smash the Salvation Game?
He pondered for a moment, then looked at the now-illuminated 'Dungeon' module.
"Dungeon Shuttle"
"All acquisition of fate comes at a price. Transcend time and space, give your all, and save the past and the future."
"Description 1: Dungeon time-space is the intersection of fate strings and time lines. Only Fate Saviors can enter. Dungeons have specific tasks. There are no penalties for not completing tasks, but they may lead to unknown consequences in the real world."
"Description 2: Regardless of how much time passes in a dungeon, it is but a fleeting moment in the real world."
"Currently discovered dungeon 'Birth of the Spark.' Anchoring fate strings, entering time lines. Estimated time required: 3 days. Please wait..."
...
Huangdu, Investigation Headquarters.
Huang Hongtian was on a video call with Director Tang, reporting on some matters.
"The first batch of investigators to go to the 'Spark of Hope' base for learning and exchange is ready."
"Hmm."
Director Tang paused, "You said, how long has this organization 'Spark of Hope' been established? Some places seem very new, while others seem very ancient."
Huang Hongtian was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Do you think it's possible that anomalous entities... appeared in ancient times?"
...
ps: Although the monthly ticket ranking has dropped, I still owe one chapter by default. I'm just too weak to write. I've only saved a few hundred words today. I need to take it slow.
