This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Ye Yiyi carefully took the colorless crystal that was shining with light.

"Huh? Is this piece much bigger than last time?"

Then he looked at the light curtain.

[Large Blessing Crystal of the Betrayed]

Item Description: The soul of the knight returns to the earth, giving a large blessed crystal to those who remove the curse.

Used at the Holy Monument, it increases the number of uses of the Cursed Bottle and the amount of Blessed Drops restored.

A large, colorless blessed crystal contained the respectful greeting of the leader of the Eagle Wing Knights:

All members of the Eagle Wing Knights! Salute to the heroes who fight against the curse! ! !

"This……"

After Ye Yiyi finished looking at the light screen, her cheeks suddenly turned red.

"I didn't do anything, actually... destroying spiders is the job of the skill minions. I just finished off the enemies, uh..."

"Are you shy, hero?" Lilylu asked innocently.

"Who is shy? Who is shy? Who is shy?!"

Ye Yiyi glared at the little goblin, took out a piece of goblin mint and stuffed it into her mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Even food can't stop you from talking, right?"

"Wow... It's too much. Lilylu can't eat it all." The little goblin held Ye Yiyi's fingers, stuffed the big mint into her mouth, and let out a happy cry.

"Humph!"

Ye Yiyi snorted coldly, let the little goblin go for the time being, and glanced around again, glaring at a passing skilled servant, and then looked at the saint with a smile in her eyes.

"Well, Lilylu and I met a skilled slave from the Land Kingdoms era up there. His name is Rusty Mountain. Do you want to go talk to him?" He changed the subject with a wandering look.

The Saint replied with a smile in her eyes, "Lilylu has already told me. Unfortunately, I am not here in my true form and cannot leave the area covered by the Holy Monument's light. I can only ask you, Lord Hero, to say hello to it on my behalf."

"Um, is there anything else you want me to convey?"

"Besides that, I hope it can obey the king's orders and provide as much help as possible to the unsung heroes.

"Well, what else?"

"That's all for now. The Skillful Slave is a creation of the Skillful Divine Machine. It knows what it should do."

"Okay, I'll pass on the message." Ye Yiyi nodded and looked at Lilylu again.

"What about you, Lilylu? Now that you're free, are you planning on going back to the mountains to find your friends?"

The little goblin swallowed a big mouthful of mint leaves, nodded, and spoke in a slurred voice.

"The Saint Lady has assigned Lilylu a mission. Lilylu will go back and tell her friends. From now on, everyone can settle down in the Cursed Palace."

"That's great." Ye Yiyi nodded and turned to look at the Saint, "Then I'll go find the Rusty Mountain Seat first."

The Saint bowed slightly, "My Lord Hero, I will await your arrival in the Hall of Curse."

"Okay, I'll come find you then."

The saint turned into a point of light and disappeared beside the holy monument. Ye Yiyi was going to see Xiushanzuo and happened to say goodbye to Lilylu.

He boarded a passing skilled servant and returned to the main gate along the same route he had come from, and relayed to Rusty Mountain what had happened and the words of the Saint.

By the way, he also returned the key to the exhibit storage room to the other party.

He needed the key in order to find the location of the BOSS room. Now that the BOSS is killed, the key must be returned to him.

Unexpectedly, Rusty Mountain refused. It frankly stated that the curator had moved all the combat weapons in the exhibition hall to the battlefield in order to assist in the war against the curse.

This also includes the exhibit storage room, which is now empty. It can be used as a storage room for Ye Yiyi.

Ye Yiyi was confused after hearing this, and thought to himself that the director of the Weapons Expo really had a strong martial spirit. No wonder he had walked through two exhibition halls and three floors of offices without seeing any weapons except the Ferocious Severed Fang.

Then Xiushanzuo gave him a transparent crystal and told Ye Yiyi that if he met a strong enemy, he could smash the crystal on the spot at any time.

At that time, Rust Mountain will open the door of the exhibition hall and launch an ultra-long-range, ultra-saturated, destructive attack towards the location where the crystal shattered!

However, ten thousand years have passed, and now there is insufficient energy, so such an attack can only be launched once.

If Ye Yiyi still needs similar help, he will need to go to the underground world to find a foundry and find a replaceable large power core for the Rust Mountain.

"This is all the help I can provide to you, sir hero." Rusty Mountain said this, with a slightly ashamed tone.

As a creation of the kings, it was a pity that he was unable to follow the kings to participate in the war. Ten thousand years later, he could still make use of his remaining energy, and Rusty Mountain Master immediately expressed his willingness to take on the responsibility.

With this, the matter at Rusty Mountain came to an end.

On the way back to the holy monument on the skilled slave, Ye Yiyi took out the crystal and took a look at it.

【Attack Beacon】

Item Description: A transparent crystal gifted by the skilled servant Rusty Mountain.

It is a proof of friendship and responsibility.

　If you smash it, it will emit invisible waves and tell the receiver the location coordinates.

A devastating blow is coming!

My hero, I am here to clear the obstacles for you!

"This thing looks a bit like a tender white branch." Ye Yiyi pondered for a moment and kept the crystal properly.

He sat down next to the holy monument, but was not in a hurry to go to the Cursed Temple. He decided to digest the spoils first.

First take the Cursed Bottle, then pick up the large piece of Blessed Crystal and bring it closer.

Crystals flew up from the air and fell into the bottle, merging into the blessed drops of water.

Since then, the amount of blessed drops in the Cursed Bottle has increased to 6, and the recovery amount has also increased.

Glancing at the screen, the name on it changed to [Cursed Bottle +1]

Increasing the recovery amount is equivalent to upgrading the Curse Bottle, which is exactly the same as in the game.

"The battery life has increased again." Ye Yiyi put away the bottle with satisfaction.

Then he took out the fragments of the universal cauldron that had been purified by the saint.

[Universal Cauldron Fragment 4]

Item Description: Lost for many years, the fragments of the universal cauldron still contain "records".

By fusing it with other fragments, you can increase the variety of props you can create.

The following items can be crafted:

Concentrated feces

——Beast Summoning Bait

——Antidote

"Great, great! This is the concentrated manure I want!" After watching the light screen, Ye Yiyi clapped his hands repeatedly, overjoyed.

The most useful piece of the universal cauldron fragment he was looking for was this "concentrated feces".

This item can be obtained by collecting pure natural feces from various creatures and concentrating and extracting them.

This concentrated feces can quickly accumulate a "highly toxic" level just by holding it in your hands.

If you put a little effort into the raw materials, such as using dragon feces, you can change the abnormal attribute of "highly toxic" to "fire poison".

In addition, there are various toxin variants such as "dampness poison", "nerve poison", "corruption poison", etc.

No matter what kind of enemy you face, choosing this item according to the type can cause great physical and psychological damage to the opponent.

It is a must-have item for home and travel!

Bring the fragment close to the universal cauldron, and with a "pop" sound, the fragment flew out of your hand like a magnet and merged into the universal cauldron.

After putting away the universal cauldron, he entered the part that Ye Yiyi was most looking forward to.

"What era is it now? Are you still playing with knives and guns?"

Taking out the thick volume of "Questions on Stopping War", Ye Yiyi studied it and gained some understanding. Then he unfolded the pages and placed them directly on his forehead.

He didn't need to study it himself. He just needed to let go of his thoughts and the rich knowledge would flow into his head.

Soon, a lot of knowledge about "observation, exploration, and questioning" appeared in Ye Yiyi's empty brain.

At this moment, his brain was like a toilet that had been blocked for many years and was suddenly flushed open by a high-pressure water gun!

A sense of clarity emerged, and Ye Yi looked around. The world was still the same world, but he seemed to be observing the world from a completely new perspective.

A desire to explore the unknown and understand everything bursts out from the depths of the soul.

"So this is the magician's perspective, observing everything, exploring everything, asking everything, understanding everything. This is the original pursuit of intellectual life." Ye Yiyi seemed to understand something.

Then he opened the light curtain to check. On the personal panel, under the column of "Concentration Practice", the words "Stop the War and Seek the Answer" appeared, with an additional 5% progress at the end.

And below that, there is a new entry for "Spell Slot".

Spell Slots: 3 (2+1)

"There are three spell slots in total. This should be the one that comes with 12 points of concentration, and the two that are developed through concentration cultivation."

Ye Yiyi was not surprised by the extra entries. In the game, except for the mage and clergy who started with concentration cultivation and had spell slots, other origins did not have spell slots.

Only by mastering the method of concentration can one open up a place for magic.

People like "Shiwushizhe" have the most miserable background. They have nothing on their body except the crotch cloth.

Of course, as compensation, "Nothing to Lose" has the strongest opening feature in the entire game.

That is, it gains the characteristic of adding 10% to the soul echo.

"But what does this 5% mean? There's no such progress bar in the game."

Ye Yiyi thought about it for a while and didn't understand what it meant. He looked down and found that the concentration value column had also changed.

The mana from 12 points of concentration totaling 80 points has now been increased to 100, with the upper limit increased by 20 points.

In addition, there is one more personal characteristic, the effect of which is to increase the upper limit of concentration value and slowly restore the concentration value.

Ye Yiyi thought about it, but still didn't understand what the 5% of this practice meant.

But he didn't hesitate, but excitedly took out the living amber wand, intending to try out the wonderful magic.

The [Book of Stopping War and Seeking Inquiry] comes with 5 magic chapters. The only one he can cast currently that meets the requirements is the [Magic Arrow].

【Magic Arrow】

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 7

Required intelligence: 10

Item Description: The most basic magic.

Concentrate your mind and use the staff to shoot arrows made of magic power.

To use magic, you must equip a staff.

And memorize the magic in advance at the holy monument.

"I need to memorize the magic first..." Ye Yiyi stared at the holy monument for a while, recalling the instructions of the magic arrow in his mind.

Soon, he felt that the empty space in his brain was gradually filled with knowledge.

"This should be considered a successful memorization. Let's give it a try!"

Ye Yiyi stood up excitedly, holding the Living Amber Wand in his right hand and concentrating his mind.

The spell bit in his brain was mobilized with concentration, and he subconsciously waved his staff. A somewhat illusory milky white arrow appeared out of thin air and then shot forward.

A passing skilled slave was unfortunately hit, and the magic arrow hit its bronze body and then broke, leaving no trace.

The skilled slave didn't react at all, not even turning his head.

The power of this magic arrow is not even enough to tickle, and it is not as much as the damage caused by his kick.

Ye Yiyi's joyful expression froze on her face, and then she couldn't help but look at the staff in her hand, and then she found the problem.

“Uh… the magic can be used because the intelligence requirement is met, but the 20 intelligence requirement for using the staff is not met.
