Surviving the Eternal Night: I'm a Monster Who Can Make Wishes

Chapter 157 Quality Equipment, Promotion Requirements for Subordinates

Mei Tingxue no longer hesitated.

Step forward and open the three treasure chests one by one.

They obtained five gray level 5 equipment pieces, two white quality equipment pieces, and over a hundred units of gold and other resources.

Li Wu Hui took all the gold.

The remaining resources will be given to Mei Tingxue as a reward.

"No regrets, really no need. The golden treasure chest I received as a reward last time already far exceeded my contribution. I really can't accept these."

Mei Tingxue quickly waved her hand and said.

"Upgrade the safe house quickly. In a while, you might be asked to go out with the Morning Dew Saintess and the others to search for treasure chests. You need to be strong enough so you don't hold them back."

"Besides, aren't you one of us now?"

Li Wu Hui looked at Mei Ting Xue and smiled.

Mei Tingxue then nodded seriously.

"I understand, I'll go back and upgrade the safe house now."

Then she turned and left.

Only then did Li Wu Hui begin to carefully examine his new equipment.

Frostfang Helmet (Gray 5th Rank Quality): Tough, protects against blunt force, arrow and frost damage.

When health drops below 40%, immediately gain a temporary shield equal to 30% of maximum health. While the shield is active, you are immune to all slowing and freezing effects. Cooldown: 40 seconds.

Black Iron Warlord's Breastplate (Gray 5th Tier Quality): Heavy, protects against all basic damage.

Standing still for more than 1 second restores 2% of maximum health per second; moving retains 70% of the restoration effect for 3 seconds. When health is below 30%, all health restoration effects are doubled.

【Blood Oath Heavy Shield (Gray 5th Rank Quality): Heavy, protects against blunt, impact and piercing damage. Each successful parry grants 2 stacks of "Blood Oath Mark" (maximum 6 stacks). Each mark provides 4% damage absorption and 3% parry success rate.

Actively releasing this ability consumes all marks. Each mark grants a shield equal to the number of marks consumed multiplied by 6% of the caster's maximum health to the caster and one ally within 12 meters, lasting 10 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds.

【Sky-Splitting Saber (Gray 5th Rank Quality): Heavy, sharp, normal attacks have a 40% chance to trigger "Sky-Splitting Slash" to deal 180% attack damage, ignoring 35% of the target's armor, 1.5-second cooldown.

After three consecutive "Sky-Splitting Slashes" hit the same target, the next attack will be a guaranteed critical hit and will inflict the "Sky-Splitting Bleeding" effect, causing the user to lose 5% of their current health per second for 3 seconds.

【Starfall Crossbow (Gray 5th Rank Quality): Tough and accurate, requires no physical arrows. Each shot consumes 0.5% of the user's maximum health to condense "Starfall Arrows", which can fire 3 shots at once, each dealing 70% of the user's attack power as damage.

Arrows hitting the same target will stack "Starfall Marks," which will automatically detonate after 3 stacks, dealing area damage equal to 120% of the user's attack power.

【Eternal Night General Armor (White Quality): Indestructible, protects against all types of damage, and gains 6% damage reduction for every 10% decrease in health (up to 30%).

When health drops below 10%, "Undying Will" is automatically triggered—health will not drop below 1 point for 5 seconds, and the user is immune to all control effects during this period. Cooldown: 180 seconds.

【Judgment Holy Sword (White Quality): Holy, indestructible. Normal attacks have a 50% chance to trigger "Judgment" to deal 200% of attack power as holy true damage. Damage is doubled against undead and demon enemies.

Unleash "Wrath of the Holy Judgment" to deal Holy True Damage equal to three times the caster's attack power to a 5-meter cone-shaped area in front of them, and cleanse all negative effects from friendly units within the area. Cooldown: 20 seconds.

"The equipment is all very good."

"Especially the two white-quality pieces of equipment."

Li Wu Hui pondered for a moment.

Equip the Frostfang Helmet, the Night General's Armor, the Judgment Holy Sword, and the Blood Oath Heavy Shield.

Switch back to the Patrol Leg Armor and continue with the Patrol Armor four-piece set.

[2-piece set: Gain a shield equal to 20% of your health, and extend the shield duration by 30%.]

4-piece set bonus: Gain 5% damage reduction for every 10% decrease in health (up to 25%).

This reduces your health to below half.

The equipment alone can provide 55% damage reduction.

In addition, after the passive effect of the Chosen One is triggered, there is a 40% damage reduction and invulnerability!

That's a full 95% damage reduction.

It's incredibly hard!

Li Wu Hui's eyes lit up.

He immediately changed into his new gear, still in full black armor, but with the addition of starlight embellishments to the black chest area, making him even more imposing and extraordinary.

There's also the Judgment Holy Sword, which is significantly better than the previous Oathbreaker Steel-Cutting Longsword!

I underwent a major equipment upgrade.

As for the remaining equipment...

Li Wu Hui didn't want to keep it either.

It was handed over to the Holy Maiden of Morning Dew, who was allowed to distribute it as she saw fit.

My equipment is all sorted out.

Now we need to solve another problem.

Li Wu Hui's powerful subordinates are now severely lacking in strength under the current circumstances.

However, Li Wu Hui had never paid much attention to their progress in strength before.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but mainly he wanted even just a high-quality gold-level Abundance Elf or an Eternal Night Bishop.

They also couldn't trigger the promotion requirements panel at all.

It seems to be due to insufficient accumulation.

However, it should be possible now.

As the Morning Dew Saintess mentioned a couple of days ago, after the world undergoes a major change and a future monster civilization descends.

She felt that her skills had improved, making things much easier.

Li Wu Hui's gaze swept over the four people.

Finally, he looked at Verna.

He planned to start with Verna, who was the weakest but had considerable potential.

"Verna, come forward."

"Yes, Master."

Verna Yongye obediently stepped forward.

As Li Wu Hui's will solidified.

A panel popped up.

[Eternal Night Bishop (Gray Quality)]

[Real Name: Verna Eternal Night]

[Promotion Requirements: Requires the devout faith of over ten thousand people, and the ability to build a wondrous lair of the Eternal Night Monster alone within the Eternal Night, attracting ten destined individuals to devoutly worship the Eternal Night. [The strength of these ten destined devout believers determines the power level of the Eternal Night Bishop after promotion.]

"The defeated seem to be born to be followers of the Bishop of Eternal Night. After resurrecting ten powerful defeated individuals, we can then order them to voluntarily be drawn to and worship Eternal Night."

Li Wu Hui murmured to himself.

In his mind, he could only assign a maximum of ten blue-quality defeated individuals to accomplish this task; any more would consume too many of his control points.

"Velna, now that you have time, you can create wonders yourself during the Eternal Night period. If you need any resources, just apply to Hidden Scale or Morning Dew Saintess."

Verna Yongye's eyes lit up!

She bowed respectfully, revealing the advantages of her elegant and voluptuous figure.

"Thank you, Master. Verna will definitely become stronger so that she can serve you well."

Li Wuhui turned his head away, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

The bountiful fairy Freya stepped forward knowingly.

A panel popped up.

【Abundant Elf (Gray Quality)】

[Real Name: Freya Morishin]

[Promotion Requirements: A hundred trees can form a forest, a thousand trees can form a grove. Planting one hundred Abundance Trees will allow you to advance; planting one thousand Abundance Trees will push your potential to its limit, propelling you to a purple-quality Abundance Sprite!]

This is the promotion requirement.

That's quite straightforward.

Moreover, in this era, magic is much stronger, so the Abundance Elves no longer need to spend several days or even ten days accumulating three times the magic to plant trees, as they did before.

Now, it only takes two or three days to accumulate enough magic power.

It would be even better if there were equipment that could accelerate mana regeneration.
