Sea of Death, inside the One-horned Sailboat's lounge, the magic array engraved on the floor suddenly lit up. Suddenly, a figure appeared. It was none other than Shifeng, who had just left the Divine Library.
"That was close!"
Shifeng rejoiced as he looked at the thick tome in his hands. When he recalled the Stone Guards that had suddenly gone berserk, he couldn't help but rejoice.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, and he would have crossed the line.
He had never thought that the Stone Guards would go berserk. The power of their spears was definitely at the Tier 3 standard. If a dozen or so of them attacked together, they could've killed him instantly.
Although it had been a close call, Shifeng could not help his excitement as he looked at the tome in his hands.
The Divine Library's books were treasures throughout God's Domain. Many first-rate Guilds drooled over the books on the first floor, not to mention the books on the second floor.
When Shi Feng called up the tome's system interface, the tome's Attributes appeared before him.
As expected of the Divine Library. Even the second floor has such a tome? Shifeng's lips twitched as he looked at the tome's Attributes, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This was because the ancient book he had obtained from the Divine Library was none other than the blueprints for the Basic Combat Device.
Combat Devices were special items similar to the Strengthening Device. The Strengthening Device could increase equipment's durability, but unlike the Strengthening Device, the Combat Device was a tool specifically used to strengthen players' combat power.
The boost to combat power was extraordinary.
The Combat Device did not increase players' Basic Attributes. Instead, it increased players' Life Ratings through powerful Mana.
The Combat Device had been created by the Ancient Gods. However, the technology had long since been lost. The Combat Devices one could find in God's Domain were only found in ancient ruins. Moreover, very few existed. The various large Guilds treated every Combat Device as a treasure.
Now that the Combat Device Design was before him, how could he not be shocked?
Even the Basic Combat Device Design was something that the various superpowers would go crazy over.
The Basic Combat Device could increase players' Life Ratings below Tier 3 by one rank. Although it wouldn't reach the same heights as Archaic Species, it was still a very powerful improvement. It was akin to upgrading a Lord to a High Lord, turning players into Bosses among players.
If an ordinary player equipped the set, they could easily challenge experts. If an expert player equipped the set, although they wouldn't be a match for peak experts, they'd still be slightly stronger than Refinement Realm experts.
Moreover, unlike equipment that came with battle arrays, battle arrays had many restrictions. Most importantly, there was a level restriction. Normally, players wouldn't be able to equip Level 50 battle array equipment once they reached Level 60. However, the Combat Device wasn't limited by level, and players could equip it at any level as long as they met the required tier.
The only downside was that it couldn't be used in Dungeons, Team Dungeons or Regional Dungeons. Even so, it was still in short supply on the market.
On the market, a Basic Combat Device sold for 200 Gold. Many players struggled to obtain one.
"As long as we can mass-produce them, we won't have to worry about Ling Yi's experts lacking in combat power." Shifeng grew excited as he looked at the Combat Device Design.
Although the materials required to produce the Basic Combat Devices were precious, they only cost 50 to 60 Gold to produce. The only problem was the Mana Stones required. Mana Stones alone took up a significant portion of the production cost. Moreover, Mana Stones generally only dropped from Team Dungeons' Bosses.
However, this wasn't a problem for Shi Feng. He just needed to synthesize the Mana Stones with Magic Crystals.
Currently, the Ling YI Society's elite and expert count was only slightly higher than that of a true first-rate Guild. In fact, the Ling YI Society had slightly more elite and expert players than some first-rate Guilds. The Ling YI Society was inferior to first-rate Guilds only in terms of its sphere of influence. However, this couldn't be helped.
Now, as long as he could mass-produce the Basic Combat Devices, the Ling YI Society could expand its sphere of influence in an extremely short time. They wouldn't have to worry about a lack of manpower or combat power.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng's desire for Kama Island's Manatite vein grew even stronger.
Even with the Ling YI Society's superior conditions, obtaining Magic Crystals through normal means was still far from enough. After all, there was a limit to how many Magic Crystals a region could produce.
If they wanted to obtain a large number of Magic Crystals, they would have to occupy an ore vein capable of producing Magic Crystals. This was also why the various superpowers were so desperate to secure such an ore vein.
Following which, Shifeng clicked to learn the Basic Combat Device's production method.
The books players obtained from the Divine Library could only be used by the player themselves. They couldn't be traded to others. Hence, the various large Guilds would normally send Lifestyle players to obtain these books. That way, they could put the books to good use. However, to obtain better books, some Guilds would also send powerful experts to obtain them. Afterward, they would invest a ton of resources into these experts, forcing them to produce the items listed in the books.
This time, his luck was pretty good. He had managed to pick a Smithing Book. If he had picked an Engineering or Alchemy Recipe or Design, he would have had no choice but to start from scratch. After all, it was better than letting a Lifestyle player learn nothing.
After learning the production method, Shifeng began to study the magic arrays on the Basic Combat Devices in the lounge. Meanwhile, the ship continued to sail forward.
Time passed quickly. With Blue Phoenix and the others leading the way, they avoided many unnecessary battles at sea. Finally, after a dozen or so hours, they arrived at an island filled with death energy.
The mountains on the island were crisscrossed with each other. From afar, it looked like a roaring beast. From time to time, there would be heart-palpitating roars from the island, echoing in everyone's minds.
Moreover, from a distance, Shi Feng noticed a large number of sea monsters around the island. Every one of these sea monsters was Level 60 or above. Just approaching the island would be troublesome.
"President Hei Yan, this is Kama Island. We still have other matters to attend to, so we'll be taking our leave," Blue Phoenix said as she looked at Kama Island. She couldn't understand why Shifeng and the others had come to an island filled with death energy and a lack of Mana. However, this wasn't something she should be asking about. After all, God's Domain had plenty of secrets. It wasn't unusual for them to come here for high-level quests.
"Thank you," Shifeng thanked Blue Phoenix as he looked at Kama Island.
If it weren't for Blue Phoenix's familiarity with the Sea of Death's inner region, it would've been difficult for her to reach the Sea of Death safely. Based on the battles she had fought along the way, even the One-horned Sailboat had suffered significant losses. If they entered a dangerous area, it was possible for them to be wiped out. After all, the Sea of Death was also a forbidden land for life.
After Blue Phoenix and the others left, Shifeng commanded his team to approach the island.
There were many sea monsters on the island's periphery, but for Aqua Rose and the others, who had the Legacy of the Sea, the battle was a walk in the park. In less than an hour, the ship docked at the shore of Kama Island.
After Shifeng finished his preparations, he set foot on Kama Island. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable fluctuation. Or rather, it was as if the entire world had rumbled. Following which, the sound of a system notification entered his ears.
