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

"Then where should I go to find you after I get the token back?"

"Find a way to stay in the Knight Country, and I'll come find you when the time comes."

Ye Yiyi took out another bag of coins and threw it to the other party.

"And by the way, help me collect all kinds of intelligence within the Knight Kingdom, such as the major oath-taking knight orders, as well as various ancient ruins and ancient battlefields, with the ancient battlefields being the most important."

Timothy weighed the purse and looked up curiously.

"Sir, are you planning to do that?"

"You'll know when the time comes. How about it? Are you willing to help me?"

"my pleasure!"

Timothy raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a terrifyingly confident smile.

"Heh~"

Ye Yiyi chuckled and waved the Moonlight Gun, and the "color painting" was released, painting Timothy with a striking orange.

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

"I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Chapter 513 A great harvest of gems.

After parting with Timothy and others, Ye Yiyi followed the map and prepared to head to the northernmost ruins.

The female knight wants to go to the Butterfly Knight's camp to check the situation.

Timothy went with her, planning to rest in the camp for one night and then return to Iron Gray City after daybreak.

Without Ye Yiyi's company, even if the Highlanders had the greatest courage, they would not dare to walk at night in the forest full of dangers.

However, Ye Yiyi did not have too many concerns about this. It would be better to say that he walked at night just to experience this unique atmosphere.

And look for strange prey that appears in the dead of night.

The giant horse, wrapped in a light black mist and waving its thick limbs without making any sound, galloped through the misty crystal forest like a ghost.

The towering crystal columns, the clusters of crystals blooming like flowers, the scattered fireflies, and the tall crystal treetops that blocked out the sky, all bloomed with a faint glow containing a bit of magic, dimly illuminating the deep forest.

Among the strange and intricate crystalline roots, a four-legged monster the size of a wolfdog, with a back covered with a large number of crystalline spikes like a porcupine, was fleeing in a hurry.

The ghost horse followed closely behind, and the fireflies flying along the way were frightened and flew away.

Not long after, a strange insect wrapped in cold white flames suddenly soared into the sky and swooped down at a high speed from high in the sky.

The cold white flames left a bright streak in the air, like the glowing tail of a comet.

The flames passed over the running beast at high speed. With a "crack!" sound, the fleeing beast crashed heavily into a crystal cluster and then fell to the ground quietly.

The pitch-black horse stopped beside the little beast, and a suspended arm made of silk thread emerged from nowhere and silently picked up the unconscious little beast.

"Sixth one tonight."

The being, riding on the back of a large horse, wearing a wide-brimmed pointed hat and shrouded in black mist, took the small beast and skillfully broke open the crystal cluster growing on its back, and took out a milky white gem the size of a quail egg from it.

A light curtain invisible to ordinary people quietly jumped out.

【Intelligence Gem】

Item Description: It is said to be a gem that has metamorphosed from ordinary stone and is extremely rare.

Used for qualitative enhancement of weapons.

A damage modifier that increases the "Intelligence" attribute of a weapon.

The beast of jewels feeds on stone and is a sublime life form within stone.

Their backs are said to produce exotic gemstones with special powers.

"Is it the Intelligence Gem this time?"

Looking across the light curtain, Ye Yiyi frowned slightly and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"It's a shame this one grew so big, but the gems it gave were such rubbish."

The dung beetle dispersed the spiritual fire from its body, waved its thin wings and landed on the shoulder from the air. It lowered its head and looked at the little beast covered with crystals, seeming a little puzzled.

"Brother, should this stone lizard be as big as possible?"

"Yes, the bigger the better."

Ye Yiyi sighed slightly, nodded and replied:

"The larger the size of the Linlang Gem Beast, the higher the probability of producing high-quality gems. However, that is only a probability after all, so this situation also occurs."

He raised the beast and the gem in his hand and gestured to the dung beetle.

"A large beast of Linlang produced a rather ordinary gem. It's like firing a 648 and only getting blue sky and white clouds."

"Blue sky and white clouds?"

The dung beetle tilted its head in confusion, completely confused as to what that had to do with the sky and the clouds.

"To put it simply, it means bad luck. Just understand it that way."

Ye Yiyi shook his head, handed the unconscious Linlang Beast to the puppet hand, and placed it in a crystal root.

Of the five gems found before, two were for strength, two were for skill, and one was for faith.

Including the intelligence gem I got now, there are exactly six, but they are all ordinary gems.

It was not like the "ripe gem" he found from a small beast when he first entered the forest.

"The first time was indeed a burst of good luck. Now it's completely different from before."

Ye Yiyi muttered and pulled the trigger at the unconscious Linlang Beast.

"Buzz!"

The bowstring vibrated, and blue light symbolizing abundant vitality poured down from the sky.

After the previous experience of picking gems, Ye Yiyi discovered that even if he didn't kill the Linlang Gem Beasts, he could still take the gems from them.

However, the Linlang Beast did not die after losing the gem.

After using the vitality therapy on it, the Linlang Beast quickly recovered its vitality. Apart from being mentally depressed due to being frightened, it did not show any adverse conditions.

This made Ye Yiyi extremely surprised.

In other words, the gems produced by these gem beasts are all renewable resources!

But he didn't know how long it would take for the Linlang Beast to produce gems again.

"If it doesn't take too long, I can come and harvest every once in a while!"

In this way, he now had an additional way to stably produce various types of enchanted gems.

Of course, the best way is to keep the Linlang beasts in captivity and observe how they produce gems and what patterns there are in the gems they produce.

After figuring out a pattern, he would then conduct targeted training to produce the specific gems he needed.

"But that would take too much energy and time."

So he didn't intend to do it himself.

He planned to consult Alice, a former biological researcher, first, and then entrust the relevant research and training work to someone he could trust.

"Perhaps Doss could do the job?"

Ye Yiyi thought about it and rode his horse away from here, continuing to move forward in the deep forest.

"But the technology that can stably produce various enchanted gems is no less valuable in this era. If it were to be leaked, Nados would probably be hunted to death."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yiyi gave up the idea of ​​letting Doss train him.

Without his constant protection, Nados would never have been able to keep this job.

"It seems I need to find someone who has research in this area and whom I can trust to do it."

But how hard is it to find such a person?

At least apart from Alice, Ye Yiyi couldn't find anyone to hand it over to.

But seeing Alice's current state, Ye Yiyi was really worried about her leaving the Cursed Hall.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to give up the idea.

"After all, this is just a soul-like thing, not a home cultivation..."

"As long as I have enough gems to upgrade my weapons, I can just farm the Beast of Brilliance or kill the elite monsters that drop gems. I won't be short of gems in the later stages."

"In any case, let's put this matter aside for further discussion."

He shook his head and summoned the Crescent Moon again, looking for the next trace of the Linlang Beast.

Heading northwest, he collected materials along the way, looking for the emerald gem beast to collect gems. When the night ended and the sky was getting light, Ye Yiyi had already reached the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Stone Crystal Forest.

There are no longer any traces of humankind here, and all that is left as far as the eye can see is the ancient, wild land that has not been visited by anyone for thousands of years.

From the middle of the journey, Ye Yiyi's probability of encountering the Linlang Beast increased greatly.

Among them, the number of large-sized Linlang beasts has also increased a lot, and there is even a Linlang beast that is larger than Virgil.

The beast Ye Yiyi didn't let the dung beetle take action. Instead, he took out the big dragon hammer and rushed forward, hitting the opponent's forehead hard, knocking him unconscious to the ground.

Then he found a very rare gem from the giant crystal cluster behind him.

【Thunder Crystal Gem】

Item Description: A large gemstone transformed from ordinary stone.

It is an extremely precious treasure.

Used for qualitative enhancement of weapons.

It can grant a qualitative enhancement of "Roaring Thunder" or "Lightning".

A crystalline gem imbued with the essence of lightning power.

It is a precious offering used to worship the ancient dragon species.

It is said that it is also the embodiment of the power of the ancient thunder and lightning gods.

"Roaring Thunder and Earth-Descending Lightning. The former benefits from Strength and Faith, while the latter benefits from Skill and Intelligence. They are extremely rare gemstones with dual-correction lightning properties."

Looking at the gem in his hand, which was as big as a fist and had a lot of blue arcs flashing on its surface, Ye Yiyi thought in his heart.

Double-correction enchantment gems are naturally rarer than single-correction enchantment gems, and are also more powerful.

"What a burst of luck!"

Satisfied, he put the gem away, then took off his wide-brimmed hat and smoothed down his afro-like hair.

In addition to this extremely precious gem, he also received several ordinary gems and three rare gems.

Ordinary gems are gems that can improve a single attribute correction of a weapon, or grant a single attribute enchantment correction effect.

The former are like "skill", "strength", "intelligence" and "faith".

After being embedded into the enchantment slot, it can improve the correction level of this attribute.

The latter are gems such as "Lightning", "Magic", "Fire", "Deep", and "Holy".

After inlaying, it can give the weapon corresponding attributes.

But correspondingly, after inlaying the gem, the original attribute correction of the weapon will be cleared, and it will only receive the correction blessing of a single attribute.

For example, the "Thunder Gem" can enhance the quality of "lightning" or "thunder".

The qualitative change of "Thunder and Lightning" requires belief correction, and the qualitative change of "Lightning" requires skill correction.

Then, here is a straight sword with attribute corrections of Strength D, Skill D, Intelligence D, and Faith D.

After inlaying the lightning gem into it, select the "Lightning" qualitative change.

Thus, the three corrections of the straight sword except for the technique were cleared.

Now, the only skill left to adjust the attributes of this straight sword is skill C.

In contrast, using double-correction gems for inlay can leave two attribute corrections after clearing other attribute corrections.

In terms of damage bonus, double correction can beat single correction because of the extra correction!
