“Alright, I’ll take a look.” Bai Qiu nodded.
He really hadn’t checked what the Lord-level monsters had dropped.
Given his usual luck, he subconsciously assumed he wouldn’t get anything good.
So he simply ignored it, automatically overlooking materials like Life Cores and branches, and instead focused on a blueprint card.
After reading its description, his face filled with disbelief.
It actually… dropped?!
He had managed to grind out one of the rarest drops just by killing monsters?
Mental Power Potion Crafting Blueprint (C-)
Description: After consumption, the Mental Power Potion permanently increases mental power attributes. The effect lasts for 1 hour. At most one bottle can be consumed every 24 hours. It becomes ineffective once spirit power reaches C- rank.
Required Materials: Dreamy Blossom ×5, Life Branch ×1…
Note: This potion has relatively strong effects. Please consume with caution!
King’s Seed (C)
Description: A seed that can randomly grow into an offensive-type plant, with a maximum growth potential of C rank. It is a good choice for cultivating into a guardian plant.
Endless Vitality (C-)
Description:
Passive Effect: After learning the Endless Vitality skill, increases injury recovery speed by 20%, reduces stamina consumption by 15%, and boosts stamina recovery speed by 15%.
Active Skill: Upon activation, consumes a large amount of the body’s nutrients and energy to accelerate healing, increasing recovery speed by a thousand times for 30 seconds!
Cooldown: 7 days
Insight Necklace (C-)
Description: Enhances the wearer’s power of comprehension.
Bai Qiu was stunned by his own luck.
He hadn’t expected to obtain items that surpassed the dungeon’s grade—and they all looked quite good!
He immediately took out the four items.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes lit up—they clearly hadn’t expected Bai Qiu to get such valuable drops either.
“Ahem, since we now have ten items in total, how about we divide them according to the number of people—each person takes two items. Does that sound okay?” Ning Xingxue suggested.
Bai Qiu frowned and looked at her.
It was obvious she had included Zhang Shiyao in the count—but that wasn’t what they had originally agreed upon…
Ning Xingxue clearly understood Bai Qiu’s personality.
She explained, “We did agree that the four of us would split everything evenly, that’s true. But in this dungeon, both Shiyao and you contributed far more than anyone else. If we split it equally among just four people, it wouldn’t be fair to you.”
Zhao Daqiang and Huang Qi both nodded in agreement.
Ning Xingxue added, “More importantly, all these items are valuable to us. If we split them four ways, there would still be two items left over. Selling them on the marketplace right now would only mean letting them go cheap. It’s better for the five of us to divide everything evenly and save the trouble.”
“After all, Brother Bai, it’s one thing that you put in so much effort yourself—but without little sister Shiyao’s command and support in the final wave, that fight wouldn’t have been easy, right? And even A Yuan contributed. You brought two combat units into the fight—if you still split everything evenly with us, that would be too unfair!” Huang Qi said.
“Exactly. We already felt pretty embarrassed splitting things evenly with you before. No matter how thick-skinned we are, we can’t keep following the old agreement this time!” Zhao Daqiang added.
Bai Qiu frowned and thought for a moment.
In the end, he agreed readily. “Alright then, since you insist, we won’t refuse.”
“However, since you’re willing to give me two extra picks, I’ll let you choose first before I take anything,” Bai Qiu added.
He decided to let Ning Xingxue and the other two pick first as compensation.
“Uh… alright!” After thinking it over, they agreed.
In the end, they decided that Ning Xingxue—who had provided the dungeon entry card—would pick first, Zhao Daqiang second, Huang Qi third, and Bai Qiu and Zhang Shiyao would pick fourth and fifth.
They would choose in two rounds.
After settling the distribution rules, Ning Xingxue didn’t hesitate at all and immediately chose the Mental Power Potion Crafting Blueprint, prompting Huang Qi to complain:
“Damn, you really aren’t holding back just because you’re picking first!”
“Hehe, since the rules allow it, I’m not going to pretend to be polite. But once I make the potions, I can sell them to you at a discount!” Ning Xingxue said with a grin.
During this, she glanced at Bai Qiu and, seeing his calm expression, confidently put away the blueprint.
Zhao Daqiang chose the Skill Card: Thorn Summon.
Laughing, he said, “Awesome! I can finally summon helpers too. I thought I’d be the lowest-level one forever!”
“Congrats, congrats!” Ning Xingxue said.
Indeed, among the three of them, Zhao Daqiang had been the only one unable to summon helpers.
After leaving the dungeon, his growth speed would definitely have lagged behind hers and Huang Qi’s.
Huang Qi said sourly, “Brother Qiang, don’t celebrate too early. Thorn Willow Trees can’t exactly move around…”
“Hahaha! So what? It’s an elite-level Thorn Willow Tree, little bro! When the time comes, I’ll rent the Sword of Hatred too and grind out a top-tier achievement. I’ll just sit there and let monsters come to me—no matter how many there are, they won’t beat a single willow tree!” Zhao Daqiang said boldly.
Indeed, in terms of mobility, his setup was clearly inferior to Huang Qi and Ning Xingxue’s.
But in terms of raw power? Sorry—an elite-level Thorn Willow Tree could even contend with the Dragonfang Lord.
Farming normal and elite monsters would be like child’s play.
“Damn… I forgot about that. This is bad—I’m going to end up at the bottom of the pack!” Huang Qi exclaimed.
Thinking about it, his progression would definitely fall behind!
At this point, Ning Xingxue had already summoned a total of seven Dragonfang Cavalry Skeletons, completely surpassing him in numbers.
After thinking it over carefully, Huang Qi looked at the Endless Vitality Skill Card and ultimately chose that skill.
Bai Qiu nodded.
As a melee class, the Endless Vitality skill was indeed extremely cost-effective.
A thousandfold recovery speed lasting for thirty seconds meant that each second of recovery was equivalent to fifteen minutes of normal healing progress.
This kind of quantitative change could truly lead to a qualitative transformation!
For example, if an ordinary person had their arm severed, as long as the limb was still viable, it could be surgically reattached and regain some function—but there would definitely be lasting effects.
With the Endless Vitality skill, however, if an arm were cut off, you could simply reattach it, pour some healing potion over it—no need for stitches—and within a few seconds, it would be completely restored!
Moreover, the skill’s passive effect was comparable to his C-rank Battle Continuation, and that alone already provided significant benefits.
When it was Bai Qiu’s turn to choose, he thought it over carefully before selecting the Insight Necklace.
The description of the Insight Necklace was very brief, and its effect was somewhat vague and hard to define.
Because of that, no one else had considered choosing it at first—except Bai Qiu.
However, after witnessing the power and allure of magic, he believed that the necklace’s value to him might far exceed that of any other item.
As for Zhang Shiyao, she chose the Gale Boots.
And just like that, the first round of selections came to an end.
