After confirming that there was indeed material leaked, Yin Kong re-entered the area of ​​the villa, picked up the dropped items, and retrieved the arrows he had shot.

Yin Kong discovered that he didn't need to consume stamina, or resin, like in the game, to collect the rewards dropped by the world boss.

However, these world bosses have all become one-time events and cannot be repeatedly farmed like in the game.

At this moment, Yin Kong was not quite sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

In addition to the basic experience, Mora, and affinity rewards, the drops from the [Imitator Blocks] also include an elemental crystal block called [Shadow Block], a character ascension material called [Radiant Crystal], and two new artifact sets.

【The Heart of Redemption】:

Two-piece set: Increases healing bonus by 15%;

Four-piece set bonus: When the wearer heals a character in the party, they will gain the [Invigorate] effect. During the [Invigorate] effect, each instance of healing (including overflow) increases the damage of the healed character's next attack by 8%. This damage increase can be stacked if the healed character receives multiple heals during their attack interval, up to a maximum of 18000 damage. Only one character in the same party can have the [Invigorate] effect at a time. The effect will still trigger even if the wearer is in the background of the party.

[Apostle of Darkness]:

Two-piece set: Increases elemental energy recharge efficiency by 20%;

Four-piece set bonus: Increases critical hit rate by 12%, and when there are multiple enemies around, the critical hit rate can be further increased by a percentage of the number of enemies, up to an additional 36% critical hit rate increase in this way.

These two sets of artifacts should be the ones that drop from all weekly dungeons and world bosses.

These are all decent artifacts, especially the [Heart of Redemption], which seems quite suitable for Shinobu.

Or rather, it can be used by almost all healer characters, as it can convert their healing output into decent support.

As for the [Apostle of Darkness], even if you don't fully utilize its special effects, its Elemental Recharge and Crit Rate are relatively versatile attributes.

If you can collect a complete set, it should be usable.

Of course, besides these two sets of relics, Yin Kong also inquired in his heart whether these elemental crystal blocks and breakthrough materials could be transformed into materials they could use.

Unfortunately, the result was naturally negative.

“These materials are like the many demons of this world, their origins are completely different from ours, so we naturally cannot use them.” Just as Yin Kong was disappointed, Zhong Li changed the subject and added, “However, if it were you, Traveler, perhaps you could find a way to make them your own.”

Yin Kong was taken aback and asked in confusion:

"Me, me?"

Zhongli nodded and said:

“That’s right, Traveler. Your physique is very special. It seems to be able to contain all power without any impact. Not only the elemental and abyssal power of Teyvat, but also the spiritual and demonic power of this world, so this shadow power should be no exception.”

Chapter 176 The Walking Treasure Chest

In fact, Yin Kong was quite resistant to the so-called power of shadow.

After all, this thing doesn't seem to be the power of the abyss. Although the power of the abyss is a taboo in Teyvat, it is still mysterious and powerful.

Most importantly, it has a high enough level of sophistication.

The power of the abyss played a crucial role in how Lonely Nyarl was able to elbow the Great King, leaving him partially paralyzed.

It's even possible that the reason the Archmage fled to Teyvat was to escape the Abyss, which is why he was so vigilant against the power of the Abyss.

In comparison, the power of shadow...

Not to mention that these demons are all distorted and abstract in appearance, just as Kagome said, they smell as filthy and foul as sewers.

"Perhaps it's simply because it's been contaminated."

Zhongli said meaningfully.

He could sense that these shadow powers were mixed with too many impurities; otherwise, they wouldn't have such a strange and distorted appearance.

If it's pure shadow power, it's probably like this—

Noticing Yin Kong's scrutinizing gaze, the [Barbatos Baby Form], which had been lying on the ground idly sharpening its claws, tilted its head in confusion and let out an adorable "meow".

This little guy contains almost pure shadow power, only mixed with a portion of demonic power.

From this perspective, she is probably more suitable for the title of "Shadow Apostle" than "The Ever-Changing Witch" or even "Kurabane Onimaru" who is still casting a spell in the fountain.

"It's okay, go play."

Watching the magical cat frolicking in the yard, seemingly wanting to grab its tail and start a fight, Yin Kong shook his head slightly and continued to count the remaining spoils.

Yin Kong suddenly let out a soft exclamation, because he was somewhat surprised to find that, in addition to the dropped items, after solving the [Imitator Blocks], he had also successfully unlocked an achievement—

What does it mean for a villa to stand up?

In the game, achievements are divided into different categories, including those related to the main storyline, exploration of the open world, combat, and the construction of the Dust Song Pot...

One of the series is called "Encounters in Another World." As the name suggests, the achievements in this series either require visiting a friend's world to complete them or completing certain challenges with other players online to unlock them.

It's worth mentioning that in this series, almost every world or weekly boss has a shared achievement worth 10 Primogems.

Yin Kong's recent achievement belongs to this series.

However, Yin Kong returned and killed the demon five minutes after everyone else had left. Even so, can it still be considered that they challenged the BOSS together?

Isn't this judgment a bit too broad?

"I guess it must be because of that mother and child."

Zhongli reminded.

Judging from its name and location, this demon must have a very close relationship with that mother and child.

Perhaps, this demon's original power was not limited to this.

However, the fact that the mother and son chose to turn themselves in and were then taken away by the police weakened its power to some extent.

If that's the case, then it seems reasonable that although the demon was killed by Yin Kong's three arrows, it was judged as a joint challenge.

Of course, none of that matters. What Yin Kong cares about is the endless list of achievements.

His eyes lit up as he looked at the remaining world bosses on the map:

If each different world boss grants a shared challenge achievement, wouldn't these hideous demons be like walking rough stones?

No wonder Yin Kong couldn't see any treasure chests in this world. He had misunderstood. There were treasure chests here, they just had a rather unique appearance.

Moreover, they are all precious treasure chests that give ten Originium!

Before today, Yin Kong thought that it was a bit too crowded for a small town like Beika Town to have fourteen or fifteen world bosses entrenched there.

This was only after those two enormous creatures had cleaned it up; otherwise, it would have been even more "lively."

It seems that the density of world bosses is still too low.

How can a mere dozen or so treasure chests be enough for such a large area?

That wretched [Wuyu Onikiri Maru]! He made me lose so many treasure chests!

Upon thinking of this, Yin Kong felt his fists harden instantly:

A spring, right? Resurrection, right?

Once he finished dealing with his work, he pulled you out of the spring and even plucked your wings off!

After putting the surprise attack on the agenda, Yin Kong's thoughts returned to the task of hoeing the earth.

To open these precious treasure chests, he needs to bring along a "friend" to play online.

The first people Yin Kong thought of were Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha.

After all, the boy and girl are not only involved in this matter, but they also possess considerable combat abilities.

Even if an accident occurs during combat, it is sufficient to protect oneself.

If it were an ordinary person like Ms. Yoko, he would have to be constantly distracted to protect her.

The only problem is that these two young people are still fighting in the Warring States period. They finally get to return to the modern world for a short rest, and now they want to drag them along to help them grind exploration progress? That seems a bit unfair...

While Yin Kong was pondering, he also received a message from Jiuqi Ren:

Vermouth has arrived.

After cleaning up the scene, Yin Kong immediately teleported back to the pharmaceutical factory.

Rum had already left. After finalizing the general plan for the division, he had to return to the Public Security Headquarters to deal with the armed helicopters and the issue of his men being knocked unconscious by criminals.

When Ah Ren led Vermouth into the luxurious office, they saw Yin Kong tickling the [Barbatos Childhood Form].

"It seems I don't need to introduce myself."

Vermouth lowered her eyes and said:

"Yes, it is a great honor to meet you."

Although she had expected it, not seeing the [Ever-Changing Witch] still left her with a touch of indescribable sadness.

Even though their time together was not pleasant and only lasted a few days, her connection with the "Ever-Changing Witch" was closer than anyone else's.

"I'm honored? I'll take that as the truth." Yin Kong shook his head and asked, "Although the possibility is a bit low, how much do you know about Karasuma Renya?"

Vermouth probably didn't expect Yin Kong to be so direct.

To outsiders, this big star's state of mind is undoubtedly very contradictory.

Although she hated the Black Organization and even hoped that the "silver bullet" would destroy it as soon as possible, she did not hate the organization's BOSS, Karasuma Renya, and was actually quite loyal to him.

At least when it doesn't involve Shinichi Kudo and Ran, he is a rare find in the organization, a true sake man with both exceptional intellect and strong execution skills.

However, despite her inner resistance, Vermouth's body betrayed her perfectly:

"Fifty years ago, due to his deteriorating physical condition caused by aging, the BOSS had to take a mysterious drug to keep himself in a near-death state..."

"So, it really was just a false memory?"

To Vermouth's surprise, Yin Kong shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to continue.

Chapter 177 Tracking

"No need."

Yin Kong shook his head, indicating that Vermouth didn't need to continue.

The reason is simple: the 99-year-old Karasuma Renya could not possibly be the frail, dying woman she remembered, nor could she possibly be taking medicine because of physical decline.

His problem lies in his soul, not his body. Karasuma Renya, who has mastered the power of the devil, could easily crush a grown man like Vodka into a pancake with a single punch, even if he didn't look like a demonic muscleman.

Moreover, the changes in the traces on Rum's "Book of Bewitching Hearts" also show that Karasuma Renya's situation was probably not so bad at the beginning of his retreat from the limelight.

According to Zhongli's speculation, at that time, he was probably only feeling increasingly strained when using his strength, so he probably hadn't fully realized the seriousness of the problem.

It wasn't until about a decade ago, after more than thirty years of continuous deterioration, that his soul finally sank to the brink of collapse, and he couldn't even bear to waste the little power he had left to write and draw in the Book of Bewilderment.

Of course, Yin Kong had anticipated this.

After all, judging from the situation of the Black Organization, Karasuma Renya had no intention of sharing his demonic power with anyone else.

Even the existence of mysterious forces was carefully concealed.

Since Rum's memories have been erased, Vermouth's situation is unlikely to be much better.

This Karasuma Renya is probably a true master of the art of survival. Even with the black-clad organization he founded himself, he is extremely cautious and unwilling to reveal any of the truth.

"Were those all just false memories?"

Vermouth covered her head in disbelief; even she found it hard to accept.

But reason told her that, given their current situation where they were at each other's mercy, Yin Kong had no reason or need to deceive her.

"So, what are your plans next?"

Vermouth was also taken aback when she heard Yin Kong's question:

"Now that things have come to this, do I really have any other choice?"

Yin Kong nodded slightly. After all, he hadn't even gone for the kill with Gin, let alone Vermouth, whom he perceived as someone who walked the line between right and wrong.

“You can choose to stay in the organization and help me complete some tasks, but if you prefer life in prison, I will fully respect your opinion.”

Vermouth said helplessly:

"It seems I have no other choice."

Surely no one in this world really enjoys going to jail?

Moreover, Vermouth is quite self-aware; if she were to be captured, her best option would be to commit suicide immediately.
