Chapter 91: A Good Find

Upon entering the room, sure enough, there were several new items on the desk.

Viktor didn't rush to check. Instead, he went to the bathroom to change his clothes and carefully cleaned himself before coming out again and sitting down at his desk.

Only then did they turn their attention to the items on the table.

They were found in a garbage dump, and even though they were carefully cleaned before being delivered, they still looked quite old, and the items varied greatly in type, especially the largest one, which looked like a ship's wheel...

Viktor was slightly stunned when he saw this thing, and for a moment he didn't understand why there would be a ship's wheel in the underground pipes of a mountain city.

However, it's worth noting that although not all of the six items the viper brought were equipable, this ship's rudder was one of them, and its stat bonuses weren't too bad either.

[Equipable item detected: The Old Captain's Rudder]

[Equipping this item grants the attribute: Sense of Direction Iv1]

You will always be able to clearly know your location and discern the direction in front of you.

[Requirements for absorbing equipment: Own your own ship and give it a name]

[Replace this equipment?]

A dry, interesting, and functional term.

Although it's a term that Viktor can't use for the time being, this ability is by no means useless.

Especially when arriving at an unfamiliar location, or trapped by some kind of maze or illusion, being able to clearly identify directions and determine location can help Victor gain a significant advantage in a short period of time by acquiring a large amount of information.

Moreover, as the saying goes, the fewer the words, the bigger the impact... This entry seems simple and has few descriptions, but how powerful the effect is and under what circumstances it can still maintain a sense of direction is something worth exploring.

Moreover, the conditions for devouring it are not difficult. It's just a ship. Even in a mountainous city like Morningstar City, it's not impossible to build one if you have the money... It's just that there's nowhere to use it.

The item is a bit old; the surface of the wood has turned black, the kind that couldn't be cleaned even after being thoroughly washed.

Victor was still somewhat disgusted, so he put the thing into his spatial bag, planning to find an opportunity to get Viper to help him get a ship, and then just devour it.

After discarding the remaining indigestible items, Victor continued examining the two remaining items.

[Equipable item detected: Refraction Ring]

[Equipping this item grants the attribute: Shadow Player Iv1]

You can manipulate shadows to some extent, changing the shape and movement of nearby shadows, but shadows must rely on real objects to exist, cannot act independently, can be dispersed by light, and do not possess physical destructive capabilities.

[Requirements for absorbing equipment: Place yourself in a completely dark environment for more than 24 hours]

[Replace this equipment?]

Withdrawal completed??

That was Viktor's first reaction!

He frowned slightly, carefully examined the ring's effect, and realized that he hadn't misjudged its effect, but... it didn't seem to reach the level he had imagined.

The attribute provided by this equipment is indeed a fairly powerful yet simple effect.

It allows Viktor to manipulate shadows without any aids; to be honest, it's a special ability comparable to bloodline powers... It doesn't require magic, which means it can be used in any environment; it doesn't require building magic runes, which means it requires almost no casting time, activating almost instantly.

However, this term has a fatal limitation.

That is, it lacks the ability to physically kill... Other limitations are actually not so bad, such as needing to attach to objects and being afraid of light, these can be avoided or circumvented. However, the defect of lacking the ability to physically kill is not something that can be easily made up for.

Once this weakness appears, it means that the ability of this entry can only be used for some auxiliary work or to scare people, and it immediately loses its greatest potential.

"Looks like it was all for nothing... If we want this entry to be useful, we can only hope that this flaw will be removed after the entry is upgraded."

Viktor shook his head, slightly disappointed.

But to be honest, I didn't have high expectations to begin with, so I quickly composed myself and took the remaining item to examine it:

[Equipable item detected: A beautiful comb]

[Equipping this item will grant the attribute: Charismatic Lv1]

You will always maintain a radiant charm, attracting the attention of everyone around you and making everyone who sees you believe you are a charming person, increasing your charm value by 50%.

[Requirement for absorbing equipment: Become the center of attention of everyone in a social setting, and remain so until the event ends]

Should I replace my equipment?

This strangely named alchemical artifact is exactly what it sounds like – a comb. However, it doesn't disappoint. It's made entirely of white jade with smooth, flowing lines and decorated with golden patterns that resemble flowers.

The comb teeth are distinct and each one stands straight and upright. It feels nice to the touch; it's truly a beautiful comb.

"This entry...is interesting?"

Viktor was somewhat surprised.

Perhaps because this is the beginning of the underground pipe cleanup, the items that Viper delivered this time were carefully selected, so the corresponding three entries are all quite good.

It's not just not useless, it's actually quite useful.

For example, the entry for "charming and captivating" is quite interesting.

Although Victor usually keeps a low profile, he will not refuse to show himself if given the opportunity.

Humility is a way to maintain stability in daily life, but if you don't show your edge when faced with opportunities, you'll only be seen as weak... You should know that the wizarding world is never peaceful and harmonious; competition is always one of the main themes among wizards!

This entry can amplify the opportunity to showcase oneself and make a more memorable impression... In fact, if it falls into the hands of a sociable person, it can be far more powerful than many advanced alchemical tools.

The only drawback might be that this state is uncontrollable... Attracting attention means attracting more scrutiny, and with more scrutiny, it becomes impossible to determine how much of that scrutiny is well-intentioned and how much is malicious.

Having high charisma can bring benefits, but it can also attract some malice.

However, this is not a problem for Viktor, because this effect is after equipping the item. He can choose not to consume the item and instead equip it when needed... This way, he can control whether he attracts attention at any time.

"Think about it carefully, if we use this thing properly, it might produce unexpected results."
