Chapter 25 Post-War Settlement
There are all sorts of things, some good and some bad. Psionic points are the currency that psionicists use for transactions, similar to money, and the more the better.

Bloodstone is a mineral unique to this world, and its drop rate is ridiculously low. So far, even after opening hundreds of treasure chests, Ye Mingqiu has only managed to get four.

Blood Crystal

Type: Mineral

Description: The ore is as red as blood, and seems to exude a vibrant life force.

I don't know what this thing is for, but it doesn't look simple. It's definitely not a piece of junk mineral. Ye Mingqiu had previously opened a treasure chest and found a necklace, a Blood Crystal Necklace.

The Blood Crystal Necklace is a creation of Blood Crystal Stones, and the amount of Blood Crystal Stones is not high. It is just that through a certain technique, the Blood Crystal Stones are transformed into a usable state, thus giving the Blood Crystal Necklace the powerful ability to increase health by 100 points.

Ye Mingqiu guessed that the blood crystal stone might be more precious than the blood crystal necklace, and that as long as the blood crystal stone could be fully utilized, the profits would be even greater.

But
Gods exist in this world!

If nothing unexpected happens, blood crystals are something used by gods, and mortals cannot use their power.

God?

Ye Mingqiu gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. A god who can enslave humans must possess extremely strong power. Even with the suppression of the Spirit Realm Trial, the god is not someone he can contend with. Those gods are at least overlord-level units, beings that surpass the monarch level.

The templates for inhabitants of the spirit world, ranked from weakest to strongest, are: Ordinary, Elite, Leader, King, Overlord.

The ruler of a country is a monarch, but after the Great Zhou Dynasty, the monarch's power was divinely granted, and he became the Son of Heaven. Gods must be above monarchs. Ye Mingqiu believed that gods were most likely the template of overlords, and absolutely could not be enemies with them.

This world is probably full of hidden depths!

【Riding Specialty】

Category: Skill Book
Effect: Upon use, you will directly gain a level 1 riding perk. If your riding perk level is greater than or equal to 1, it will be converted into increased riding experience.

Special skills book?

There's not much to say, just use it. Anyway, special skills don't take up skill slots. Having more special skills means having more abilities, and who would complain about having too many skills?

【Successfully used】

You have gained the Riding Perk (Level 1)

In an instant, a flood of riding experience and memories rushed into Ye Mingqiu's mind. He felt dizzy and lightheaded. His brain needed time to process the new memories. Skills should never be learned in battle, otherwise, it would expose huge weaknesses. Only by comprehending skills could he become stronger in the face of battle.

Ye Mingqiu has a high level of mental attributes, but due to various factors, he has been in a slump and suppressed. When he realizes that he has become stronger and has power, and no longer needs to numb himself and not pursue certain things as before, his mental shackles are naturally broken.

The sense of freedom after losing his shackles caused his spiritual power to burst forth instantly. This bursting spirit combined with his instinctive killing intent in battle, releasing a surging wave of killing intent that ultimately formed the skill: Killing Intent Wave.

This is the origin of the killing intent fluctuation.
Bronze wine cup

Rank: First Rank

Quality: Bronze
Category: props

Special effect: Drinking alcohol

Drinking: Drinking the wine in the cup increases your Spirit attribute by 3 points for one hour. Once the bronze wine cup is empty, it takes 24 hours to replenish. It's a very good item, with a significant effect in actual combat. Unfortunately, its usefulness in Hell-level dungeons is limited. Since Ye Mingqiu fights for several hours at a time, drinking beforehand will cause the effect to wear off during the fight, and drinking while fighting without prior preparation makes it easy to expose weaknesses.

However, it should be quite effective in real-world competitions, since you can prepare in advance and drink alcohol beforehand to boost your attributes.

Of course, if the competition is strict and pre-match enhancements are prohibited, then drinking can take place after the battle begins. The referee can't just prevent players from using equipment, right? Although the bronze goblet is special, it is indeed equipment and can be used in actual combat.

However, very few people use this kind of equipment, not because it is ineffective, but because the drop rate is so low that almost no one owns it, not even mages.

"Sigh, if only I could change my weapon." Ye Mingqiu sighed helplessly as he looked at the bronze spear in his hand.

Unfortunately, the treasure chest didn't drop any suitable long weapons. Ye Mingqiu could accept spears, halberds, or similar weapons, but unfortunately, there wasn't a single one. Only swords, axes, hammers, and clubs were dropped. Even a staff was dropped, but there was no suitable long weapon.

Isn't this too unlucky?

There's nothing we can do about it; that's just how things are. It's normal to get the permanent character wrong when drawing cards. Have you heard the story of "Thirty-one volumes of the Sky, each with a cotton name"? Ye Mingqiu is in a similar situation now. There's no pity system in the treasure chests, and you need to spend special items to draw specific characters, which he doesn't have. There's nothing he can do about it.

"Whoo~"

Ye Mingqiu breathed a sigh of relief. There was still a long night ahead, and it was hard to guarantee that the enemy wouldn't take advantage of the darkness to launch a surprise attack on the city.

He turned and looked at the city gate. The road was littered with severed limbs and remains, broken weapons were stuck in flesh, fragments of chariots had broken the legs of horses, and the black steed lay on the ground convulsing, emitting weak and pitiful cries.

A dozen or so soldiers stood on the city wall, looking at their general who was gazing at them, waving and awaiting his triumphant return. This was a miracle in the history of warfare, a miracle of one against ten thousand, but his imposing aura was so overwhelming that the soldiers dared not approach and disturb the man.

"We held on, we won."

Ye Mingqiu said.

After a brief silence, cheers gradually rose on the battlefield, but they were not loud and were accompanied by sobs. Too many compatriots had died in the war, and the fighting had exhausted their physical and mental strength, leaving them with no energy to cheer.

Without the added advantage of the war, and without Ye Mingqiu standing on the front lines and bearing most of the pressure, they wouldn't even be alive today.

This is war.

There is no right or wrong, only life and death; kill the enemy and live, or be killed by the enemy and die.

Ye Mingqiu led his troops back to the city. The dilapidated gate had lost its ability to defend itself and was now just a pile of fragments. Someone had to watch the gate at night, otherwise the enemy might come in without them even knowing.

A few minutes later
"Is that all these people?"

Ye Mingqiu asked.

"That's all. Many men escaped while the general was defending the city, and many others died in battle. There are only a little over a hundred brothers left," a centurion with a missing arm replied.

"Well, I see."

Ye Mingqiu nodded, then took out some dry rations from his storage space and distributed them, saying, "Brothers, you've worked hard. Eat well. There might be another tough battle tomorrow. Tonight, let's arrange for a night watch. Four people per group. If you spot an enemy attack, shout loudly. Wait for me to come out of the city to fight the enemy. Don't be afraid."
