My stats are higher than yours!

+3 Trait - Tranquility: When equipped with this ring, one's mind is more stable, thoughts are clearer, and one is less susceptible to external interference. It also provides additional resistance to mental and spiritual effects.

+6 Trait - Fire Element: When casting Fire Element, the intensity of Fire Element is increased by 20%.

What the hell!

This is a treasure!

I bet it's a ring that some mage used up and discarded. Who in their right mind would upgrade a silver-grade item that's going to be obsolete sooner or later? Only rich guys would do something like that!

To be honest, this ring's attributes are really strong. It grants +14 to the Spirit attribute, which is an incredibly powerful boost. It's the best of the best.

The attributes added by rings are usually combined. A pure increase to spirit, especially +8, is ridiculously strong. The enhancement attributes are also perfect, with six consecutive enhancements hitting spirit, totaling 14 points of spirit attribute, which is extremely powerful.

The two equipment traits are even more outrageous: one increases mental strength and the other increases psionic strength, both of which are top-tier upgrades for mages, making the equipment's price incalculable.

The only downside is that the +3 version's "Clarity" trait is too weak, but everything else is perfect. The +6 version's "Fire Element" trait is also very good.

Top-notch!

An exquisite ring used by a mage!

How much is this worth?

That's incredible! This thing must be worth at least six figures in psionic points, right?

Calm down! Calm down!

Bai Shuodong wasn't blinded by greed. He took out the ring and asked, "Are you sure you want to give this to me directly? This thing is quite valuable."

"Yes, yes, but I have a small request that I need your help with." Wang Dun nodded repeatedly, a smile appearing on his face.

"What request?"

"If you need more food, please go to the War Wolf Guild next door. They have quite a few strong members there, and you might even get some unexpected gains."

Wang Dun smiled, then quietly approached and asked softly, "Regarding what I gave you, you can tell them that I don't mind at all, dear."

"Oh~~"

Chapter Ninety-Nine: He seems to be wet.

“Mr. Bai, before you leave, I hope you can put on your equipment first. As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle, and a fine sword is a gift for a hero. A legendary figure like you should be even more splendid,” Wang Dun said with utmost sincerity.

"Oh?"

Bai Shuodong smiled.

He didn't say much, but simply put on the two newly acquired silver-grade ornaments. The boost to his mental strength and agility made him let out a pleasant sound.

Then, looking at his significantly improved attribute panel, he seemed to suddenly understand something.

This panel properties...

This balanced and powerful value...

"Furthermore, a wise and capable person like yourself should not be without the right to privacy."

Wang Dun's expression grew increasingly serious. He pulled Bai Shuodong to the sofa and said, "Although your current level is not high, you are a renowned Forbidden Traveler. How can you allow others to casually spy on your attribute values? This is an invasion of your privacy and an immoral act."

This guy is really something!

Great! Your advice is excellent!

I think you have a lot of potential!

"Yes, you're right."

Bai Shuodong continued to nod in agreement.

"Here's what we'll do. To ensure your privacy, I'll give you a jade slip. It contains a secret technique specifically designed to prevent prying."

Wang Dun took out a jade slip from his storage space and said with utmost seriousness, "Mr. Bai, this jade slip of mine is very special. The ability you learn by reading it does not belong to the spiritual realm, but rather to the comprehension of skills. This is also a knowledge comprehension tool commonly used by many mages."

What the hell!

There's such a thing?

They directly learned and mastered skills using jade slips. No wonder those mages were incredibly powerful! Their normal firepower was many times higher than that of a normal mage, and they were all terrifyingly strong!

"Hmm, this thing must be very precious, right?" Bai Shuodong asked, picking up the jade slip.

“It is indeed very valuable, so I hope that you can keep it after you finish studying it. The content can be re-recorded, and someone can repair it later so that it can still be used, but the upper limit of its capacity will be greatly reduced,” Wang Dun replied.

"Oh."

Bai Shuodong understood.

Jade slips are reusable, but each use reduces their internal storage capacity. Generally, the more powerful the ability, the more complex it is, and the more powerful the jade slip it needs to contain it.

The jade slips used by those mages are usually top-tier jade slips, while the jade slips he's currently dealing with are just secret jade slips containing simple anti-spy techniques that have been used countless times.

Bai Shuodong looked at the jade slip in his hand and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are there any restrictions on using this? Can it be used indefinitely?"

"Of course not."

Wang Dun smiled and explained in detail: "The essence of this thing is to feed a large amount of information into your mind. If you use it once in a short period of time, it won't be a big problem. But if you use it many times in a row... it will put a considerable burden on your brain. Even the mage with the highest mental strength cannot use it many times in a row."

"At this stage, the reason why top experts want to raise their children to be mages is because this kind of jade slip is most suitable for magic-based classes. Whether it is a warrior, tank, or assassin, their mental attributes are not high and their knowledge capacity is not enough, so it is difficult for them to learn too complex skills through the jade slip."

“The magic-based mages have the highest mental attributes and are the fastest learners using jade slips. While others are still slowly practicing combat skills, they have already mastered multiple comprehension skills.”

"As long as there is enough funding, the mage's growth rate is the fastest and the strongest."

"I see."

Bai Shuodong understood that as the amount of knowledge increased, the value of a mage was also rising. As top-tier whales, their overall combat power and growth rate were unimaginable to ordinary people.

Hmph, let's not compare ourselves to them for now, let's focus on our own things first.

He placed the jade slip on his forehead, and the memories inside instantly flooded into his mind.

[Note: A large influx of memories has been detected, triggering a short-term adaptation effect]

[Tip: Improved memory capacity]

uh~

Is that all the knowledge you have?

Not enough!

Bai Shuodong felt the extra memories in his mind and became familiar with the new abilities. He quickly mastered the skills he had learned from the jade slip.

[Hint: Congratulations on mastering the skill Concealment]

Concealment Technique

Skill Quality: ★

Skill Level: None

Skill effect: Conceal your aura and shield your strength fluctuations, making it impossible for others to detect your attributes and strength.

Just one one-star skill? Fly!

Bai Shuodong's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

This is normal, though. If the skill to be learned in this jade slip were two stars or higher, Wang Dun probably wouldn't have been willing to let him use it. It's only this kind of one-star skill, which is better than nothing, that he's willing to give to others.

To be honest, this skill isn't very useful. Its ability to shield one's aura of strength is terrible. In reality, it's like putting on a thin membrane, which anyone trying to spy on can easily break through.

Gan!

This is specifically designed to scam people!

Not for actual combat!

"Here you go."

"Okay! Alright!"

Wang Dun quickly packed his things away, his smile growing wider, as if he could already see an interesting future. He continued, "Mr. Bai, as a legendary psychic with the 'top-tier profession' of a forbidden walker, you can certainly be more 'confident' in your dealings with others."

"I believe that after mastering this concealment technique, you will surely become even more extraordinary."

"Of course, if someone is rude and deliberately tries to pry into your personal information, you don't need to tolerate it. After all... they are genuinely violating your right to privacy, wouldn't you agree?"

"Ah."

"The War Wolf Guild is over there. I'll show you the way. Once you get close, you'll have to walk the rest of the way yourself. As a member of a rival guild, it's not appropriate for me to go directly there."

"it is good."

Wang Dun led Bai Shuodong over there.

The two arrived near the War Wolf Guild. After Wang Dun gave directions, he watched Bai Shuodong leave, and the smile on his face gradually became difficult to maintain.

No!

You can't laugh yet!

40 seconds... at least hold it for another 40 seconds!

Hold on tight, Wuliang!
