Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Looking at the rewards, Lin Yi felt that the most generous ones were actually 45 points of true attribute and 70 complete soul crystals.

Normally, even if you manage to shatter the original world, the true attribute bonus that the Reincarnation Paradise gives to the contractor will usually not exceed 20 points, and there will be other types of rewards to dilute the increased attribute value.

For example, Paradise Coins, or other types of equipment, etc.

45 points of true attribute is a huge boost even for someone like Lin Yi, who is in the top tier.

After all, the further you go, the greater the difference that each point of real attribute brings.

Then there's the [Master Trial Certificate for Basic Healing Skills]. How many Soul Crystals + Paradise Coins are needed for a Master-level ability? Not to mention Master-level abilities between level 12 and 20.

Moreover, this thing can skip the promotion stage, which is very convenient.

This item is usually only obtainable in war-themed worlds because it is extremely rare in low to mid-tier levels.

Although high-level contractors may have access to acquisition channels due to their privileges, at that level, even if not everyone has all the basic abilities required by a master, they at least cover 70-80% of the skills.

Therefore, for the vast majority of high-level experts, obtaining another Grandmaster Certificate would drastically reduce its marginal benefit, making it like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

After confirming his acquisition, Lin Yi immediately contacted the Blue Merchant Guild and Reed, indicating that he had some ore to sell.

"Reed, I have a batch of high-purity 'Void Refined Gold,' 'Star Vein Stone,' and 'Energy-Absorbing Crystal,' all of pretty good quality. Same as always, 40% off. Do you want some?"

"60% off? Send me the list, I want as much as you have. If the payment isn't enough, I'll use my inventory to cover it."

Lin Yi had expected Reed's reaction. These top-grade ores, especially the finest ones refined by the miners of Apocalypse Paradise, were an irresistible temptation for a master like Reed who pursued the ultimate in forging.

The 60% discount was practically a giveaway, but in return, it earned Reed's full support and priority for forging rights—a very worthwhile deal.

Immediately afterwards, he contacted Lan Jin: "President Lan, I have a large quantity of 'Phantom Iron,' 'Refined Mithril,' and 'Inert Stardust,' plenty to go around. Is the Lan Chamber of Commerce able to afford the package price?"

"Eat! You must be able to finish this! Please wait a moment! No, where are you? I'll bring people over myself! They'll be right there! Please reserve this for our Blue Merchant Guild! The price is negotiable! We'll definitely satisfy you!"

Unlike master blacksmiths like Reed, these low- to medium-quality but abundant ores were precisely the lifeblood of the guild's operation.

They are not the most premium materials, but they are essential raw materials for building mainstream equipment.

For an organization like the Blue Chamber of Commerce, which is rooted in the middle and lower-level contract workers and relies on a large circulation volume and a stable supply chain for survival, such a batch of reliable and astonishingly large quantities of basic ore is no less significant than a gold mine.

This is the core hard currency for consolidating market position, seizing market share, and even influencing regional pricing power.

Lin Yi replied briefly, saying that he would send the location later, and that he had other urgent matters to attend to.

Seeing Lin Yi's reply, Lan Jin's heart finally settled down—he knew that this big deal, which was enough to elevate the Lan Chamber of Commerce to a higher level, was basically secured.

After estimating the quantity of ore Lin Yi had sent, Lan Jin began instructing his subordinates to raise funds.

After informing the two, Lin Yi took out several treasure chests that had fallen from the Thorn Worm Star.

Perhaps due to the special circumstances of this world, the drop rate of treasure chests this time is quite pitiful.

Apart from personally killing enemies or helping Su Xiao obtain a few treasure chests, no treasure chests were dropped by enemies killed by the swarm.

Lin Yi first took out the epic treasure chest dropped by the Great Chief of the Sun Tribe. Its surface was engraved with a burning sun totem emblem, which stood out among the many treasure chests and did not require any effort to identify.

You have opened an epic treasure chest (55%).

You have received 80000 Paradise Coins.

You have obtained 5 Soul Crystals (Complete).

You have obtained the 'Blazing Arbiter'.

【Blazing Sun Arbiter】

Origin: Corona Temple

Quality: Epic
Category: Longbow

Durability: 95/95
Attack power: 215~310
Equipment requirements: 95 points of true agility and 80 points of true strength.

Equipment Effect 1: Eclipse Focus (Passive): Each time the bowstring is fully drawn and charged for more than 1 second, the arrow will be transformed into a [Light Energy Arrow], which will deal an additional 50~100 points of burning damage upon hitting the target and apply a "Eclipse Mark" for 15 seconds (up to 3 stacks).

Equipment Effect 2: Holy Flame Burn (Passive): When dealing damage to a target with "Eclipse Mark", each mark causes the target to suffer burn damage equal to 10% of attack power per second for 3 seconds.

When the target has accumulated 3 stacks of "Eclipse Mark", the next [Light Arrow] will detonate all marks, dealing area-of-effect light energy explosion damage equal to 300% of the attack power (radius 5 meters) and removing the marks.

Equipment Effect 3: Light Energy Purification (Passive): When using [Blazing Sun Arbiter] to kill elite or boss-level enemies, there is a high probability of removing one negative status effect from yourself and restoring 5% of the maximum health of all friendly units within 10 meters.

Rating: 698 points.

Introduction: "At the summit of the heavens, forged from the sun's corona, the bow of judgment burns away all filth." — Inscription at the Temple of the Sun

Price: 381400 Paradise Coins

The stacking and detonation mechanism of the Eclipse Mark, combined with the high attack speed archer playstyle, can perfectly unleash its power, achieving continuous and high burn damage, and delivering a considerable burst of damage when the mark detonates.

Meanwhile, the percentage-based health loss effect provided by the passive skill [Holy Flame Burn] and the team support capabilities brought by [Light Energy Purification] are extremely useful, greatly enhancing the overall value of this bow.

Lin Yi instantly simulated the best use case for this bow in his mind: facing a boss with high health and defense that requires continuous output, or in a large-scale protracted battle, a high-attack-speed archer can use this bow to become a nightmare for the enemy to continuously lose health.

At the same time, archers can also become a stable support unit in the team, greatly increasing their value.

Unfortunately, for archers who pursue a nuke build, the core mechanics of this bow are too cumbersome.

Their combat philosophy is "one arrow to decide the fate of the world," striving to unleash all damage in the first attack or in a very short time to kill the target instantly.

In this system, the subsequent damage that requires multiple attacks to stack marks is far less efficient than a one-time devastating strike.

Therefore, this bow is indeed somewhat awkward for a nuke-style archer.

This is not to deny its strength—its high equipment rating of nearly 700 points is the strongest proof.

Overall, this bow is relatively easy to obtain. Most archers follow an attack speed suppression build, and those who insist on a nuke build are ultimately only a relatively niche group.

You have opened an epic treasure chest (45%).

You have received 50000 Paradise Coins.

You have obtained 3 Soul Crystals (Complete).

You have obtained the 'Zerg Detection Tower' building blueprint (Epic).

You have obtained the 'Skyhorn Ore Worm' alchemy blueprint (Epic).

Zerg Detection Tower

Origin: Spiny Star
Quality: Epic
Category: Architectural Drawings
Construction Requirements: 40 Psionic Crystal Clusters, 12 Insect Mother Neural Cords, 200 Hardened Biomass
Durability: 15000/15000
Visibility range: 3000 meters in radius (ignores terrain and normal stealth)
Building Effect 1: Pulse Scan (Passive): Releases a psionic pulse every 3 seconds, revealing all stealth/camouflage units within range and marking their location for 10 seconds. Marked targets take 15% increased damage from Zerg.

建筑效果2：活体甲壳再生（被动）：脱离战斗后，每秒恢复1%最大耐久值；被摧毁时，60%概率孵化1只「自爆毒蛉」攻击最近敌人（造成2000点范围腐蚀伤害）。

Rating: 685 points

Description: It was cultivated from the sensory organs detached from the Zerg mastermind.

【Skyhorn Ox Mineral Insect】

Origin: Geocentric fungus carpet karst cave

Quality: Epic
Category: Alchemy Blueprints

Synthesis Requirements: Core Worm Embryo ×1, Refined Titan Steel Ingot ×25, Rock-Eating Bacterial Spore ×90, Lava Core ×3
Health: 8000/8000
Mineral load: Can carry 8000 units of ore.

Drilling speed: 5 m/s (ignoring rock formations with a hardness of ≤7)
Ability 1: Crystallized Mineral Jaw (Passive): When biting minerals, attacks on rock/mineral units have an "Armor Shatter" effect, which can increase mining speed.

Ability 2: Earth Vein Resonance (Active): Releases resonance waves underground, which can detect rare mineral veins within a radius of 50 meters.

Ability 3: Symbiotic Creep (Passive): When moving within a creep area, health regeneration speed +100%. Rating: 680 points

Description: A high-level miner in the Zerg race.

The value of the [Skyhorn Ox Miner] blueprint is obvious: a ore load of up to 8000 units, a drilling speed that ignores hard rock, plus the [Earth Vein Resonance] that actively detects ore veins—it's practically a mobile, small, and highly efficient mine.

Whether it's large adventure groups, logistics-specialized contractor organizations, or forging masters like Reed, there is a very high demand for these "biological miners" that can greatly improve resource gathering efficiency and safety.

Its core value lies in its terrifying mining capabilities. Lin Yi is certain that once this blueprint enters the market, it will fetch an astonishingly high price.

But the Zerg Detection Tower blueprint is a completely different story.

In terms of its functional strength alone, it is absolutely a benchmark for top-tier defensive buildings, with an ultra-wide field of view of 3,000 meters in radius that ignores terrain and stealth, high-frequency pulse anti-stealth scanning, increased damage against Zerg, and the self-destructing poison leech that can still ambush people after being destroyed.

As a defensive building, its functionality is top-notch.

The problem lies precisely in its "origin" and "suitability"—it is too "picky" about food!

For 99% of contractors or factions, this blueprint is just a piece of waste paper, or at most a collectible with research value.

Its usage conditions greatly reduce its practical application value.

Selling it to the Chamber of Commerce would likely only result in it being acquired at a low price as a "rare biotechnology sample," and it would be difficult to sell it for a price commensurate with its epic rating.

However, for Lin Yi, this blueprint was just icing on the cake; whether it was good or bad was not that important to him.

[You have opened an Abyss Treasure Chest (there is a low chance of obtaining Abyss items upon opening).]

You have obtained the Blood of Mutation (a product of the Abyss).

[You have obtained Dark Ascension (Active Skill Scroll; due to the corruption of the Abyss, this skill scroll will undergo certain changes in its properties).]

【Mutated Blood】

Source: Abyss Corridor

Category: Disposable Consumables/Special Materials
Purity: 92.3%
Effect 1: Flesh Reconstruction: When used on yourself or a friendly unit: Instantly restores 80% of maximum health, but continuously loses a total of 120% of maximum health over the next 60 seconds (average loss per second).

During the period of loss, physical defense is converted into an equivalent amount of attack power (the upper limit is no more than 200% of the base attack power).

When used on enemies: Deals true damage equal to 40% of the target's current health, but if the target is not dead, it inflicts the "Abyssal Aberration" status on them.

Loses 2% of maximum health per second, but gains +30% attack power until death (cannot be dispelled).

Effect 2: Forbidden Forging: When used as a core material for Epic or higher-grade equipment/potions, the finished product will always have 1 random Abyss attribute (which may be a buff or a curse), and the base effect of the finished product will be increased by 25%.

Rating: 698 points

[Dark Sublimation]

Type: Active Skill

Skill Effect: Wither (Active): Consumes 30% of maximum health to unleash life essence and enter the "Abyss" state for 20 seconds, during which 5% of maximum health is restored per second.

During this period, parts of the body become abyssal materialized, immune to all physical control effects, and enemies will take 1.5% of their maximum health as erosion damage per second after an attack.

When the state ends, the user will suffer a backlash based on the total damage dealt during the skill's duration.

Backlash damage = Total damage × 10% (minimum not less than 50% of maximum health).

If the backlash results in death, the body will explode and deal backlash damage equal to 300% of the damage dealt to enemies within a 10-meter radius as erosion damage.

Prerequisite: True physical strength attribute ≥ 100 points.

Synopsis: What is called sacred is nothing but illusory light. True ascension requires the soul to be reshaped in the abyss.

What came into view was a viscous liquid imprisoned within a transparent crystal—[Aberrant Blood].

It is not an ordinary red, but rather a color that is constantly changing, a mixture of dark red and purplish-black.

Simply holding it in your hand evokes an impulse to either "integrate" or "destroy" it, attempting to erode the holder's will.

Many blacksmiths would be extremely eager to use this top-tier material with abyssal properties, perhaps because they could forge some amazing things.

Alternatively, they could be sold to contractors who specialize in Abyss research for a decent price.

As for [Dark Sublimation], most people wouldn't dare to use it.

The backlash damage from [Dark Ascension] is at least 50% of maximum health. If the total damage dealt during this period is high, the backlash damage can be astronomical.

This means that users must ensure they are not killed within 20 seconds, while also accurately calculating the total damage to ensure they are not instantly killed by the backlash at the end.
That final self-destruction felt more like a malicious mockery from the abyss—even in death, it wanted to take others down with it.

A trump card? No, it's more like a suicide move to drive the last nail into his coffin.

If this skill were in another amusement park, it might have been wasted on Lin Yi. But coincidentally, in the Reincarnation Paradise, the most popular skill is precisely this kind of self-destructive skill.

For the contractors of the Paradise of Reincarnation, their own survival is far less important than ensuring that their enemies die!
Any price is worth paying if it can drag the target down to hell with them.

For contractors of the Paradise of Reincarnation, the moment they activate [Dark Ascension], they don't need to "ensure they don't die".

What they need to do is, after activating [Dark Ascension], use the 20 seconds of ignoring physical control to forcibly drag their pursuing enemies to their doom in a desperate situation.

As for the backlash? That 50% or even higher backlash damage is likely just the prelude to that final "BOOM" in the eyes of the initiator!

Ideally, all enemies could be eliminated before the backlash arrived. But what if they couldn't? Then let the self-destructing fireworks be the final attack.

Lin Yi immediately thought of those lunatics from the Symbiotic Alliance; this thing was a perfect match for them.

It's worth noting that the Symbiotic Alliance also has undead classes similar to Blackblood, which are particularly suited for self-destruction.

After putting away the two items, Lin Yi took out the last treasure chest, which was also an [Epic Treasure Chest (100%)].

This thing has a 10% chance of yielding a Saint-level equipment, and Lin Yi bought it to try and take advantage of that chance.

You have opened an epic treasure chest (100%).

You have obtained the Tear of the End (a one-time use item).

You have obtained the Divine Blood Potion (Holy Spirit-level Potion).

Tears of the End

Origin: Temple of the End

Quality: Holy Spirit Level
Category: Consumables
Effect: Targets an enemy unit, dealing true damage equal to 300% of the target's missing health (no upper limit). If the target is not killed, permanently reduces their maximum health by 30% (irreversible).

Rating: 980 points (Holy Spirit level standard: 700-1000 points)
Brief introduction: Those who use it will eventually witness the end of themselves and their enemies.

[Divine Blood Potion]

Origin: Paradise of Reincarnation, Fourth Alchemy Workshop
Quality: Holy Spirit Level
Type: Permanent Enhancement Potion

Effect: After drinking, permanently increases health by 2000 points and physical base defense by 10 points.

Note: By drinking it, even mortals can steal the authority of the gods.

Lin Yi's pupils contracted slightly as he instantly understood the terrifying nature of the [Tears of the End].

The true damage of 300% of the target's lost health implies a simple yet deadly logic—when the target's health drops to 25% or below, this attack will always trigger an instant-kill.

This is the ultimate trump card, enough to turn the tide in a desperate situation.

The [Divine Blood Potion] permanently increases health by 2000 points and base defense by 10 points. This potion, which directly strengthens one's essence, is a coveted treasure for any contractor.

At Lin Yi's level, a 10-point increase in basic defense is essentially equivalent to his physical strength undergoing a minor evolution and transformation. (End of Chapter)
