As soon as Shifeng set foot inside the Shrine, he felt as if he had arrived in a different world. Birds chirped, flowers bloomed, and vegetation flourished. This was a garden, not a Shrine at all.
"Fallen Angel!"
Shi Feng immediately discovered the Fallen Angel, who had killed him once, in the garden.
Her black wings, enchanting and perfect figure, long and slender legs, as well as her jade-like skin and flawless face. Only Sharlyn, the Great Priestess, could compare to her. All other women would pale in comparison to her.
"Human, you sure are fast." The Tier 5 Fallen Angel's emerald eyes looked at Xiang Shifeng. Giggling, she said, "You adventurers are truly blessed by the heavens. You were born with an Immortal Soul. Even we would find it difficult to kill you adventurers."
Shifeng could still feel chills running down his spine when he recalled the scene of the Fallen Angel instantly killing him.
Very few players in God's Domain could compare to her near-perfect combat techniques.
If not for him knowing that there were only rewards and no punishments in the Shrine, he would've long since fled the place.
"My name is Serena. Come over. You have come to the World Summit normally this time, so I will not kill you," Serena said as she beckoned. Serena waved her hand, smiling as she said, "Since you can make it here, it proves that you are quite capable. I can give you two choices."
"Two choices?" Shifeng asked curiously.
"Although I call it a choice, in reality, there are two rewards." Serena nodded slightly. "The first is to obtain the Bible of Darkness that has always been here. The second is to pass a small test. Not only will you obtain the Bible of Darkness, but you will also obtain these items."
Serena lightly waved her hand.
Suddenly, three seven-colored Treasure Chests appeared in midair.
The first chest contained a large number of Soul Crystals. Based on a rough estimate, there were over 100 Soul Crystals inside.
In the Dark Den, Soul Crystals were the foundation of all development. If Shi Feng obtained over 100 Soul Crystals in one go, he could definitely improve his Shelter's strength by a large margin.
The second chest contained a black stone tablet. It looked somewhat similar to the Chapter of Darkness. However, the tablet's name was the Chapter of Shelter, and it could directly upgrade a Shelter by one rank. The highest upgrade possible was a Large Shelter.
"There's even such a good item. The Epic reward is truly amazing." Shifeng was extremely excited.
It was extremely difficult to upgrade a Shelter in the Dark Den. Aside from needing a large number of Soul Crystals, one also needed to complete a series of quests. The amount of manpower and resources required to achieve such a feat was frightening. Even District One's Shelter had yet to be promoted to a Large Shelter. One could just imagine how difficult it was to achieve such a feat. Only Shelters backed by large Guilds would be able to gather all of the Shelter's resources. Only then could a large shelter be built.
Now that Shi Feng had the Chapter of Shelter, he could immediately upgrade his Medium Shelter to a Large Shelter. This would be a massive boost to Zero Wing's District One Shelter.
However, when the third Rainbow Treasure Chest was opened, the Shifeng was completely stunned.
"Magic Device Blueprint!" Shifeng stared intently at an old design in the third Rainbow Treasure Chest, itching to snatch it immediately.
"Oh? I never thought that a human like you would know about this item. Since you know about Magic Devices, you must know the significance of the Magic Device Blueprint. Its value is only slightly lower than the Bible of Darkness. However, to you humans, Magic Devices are far more valuable than the Bible of Darkness. " Seeing Shifeng's reaction, the Fallen Angel Serena smiled in satisfaction. "Speak. Which reward do you wish to choose?"
Shifeng could not help but fall silent.
Magic Devices were a product of God's Domain's magical civilization at its peak. They were the pinnacle of alchemy, forging, and engineering. They were also the symbol of the end of the Demonic God Era. Even the lowest-ranked Bronze Magic Device could raise a player's strength to a whole new level, not to mention a Magic Device Blueprint.
Even the lowest-ranked Bronze Magic Device Blueprint. It was enough to trigger a Guild war.
In the past, when a Mysterious-Iron Magic Device Blueprint appeared, over a dozen kingdoms and over a hundred large Guilds had fought over it. There was no lack of Super Guilds among them. In the end, a Super Guild had obtained the Magic Stone Empire's Magic Stone Empire, which had suffered an unimaginable number of casualties.
As for the second-rate Guild, Shadow, it had not dared to participate in the war, only watching from the sidelines.
Now that a Magic Device Blueprint was placed before them, how could Shifeng not be jealous?
Magic Devices were devices that could be installed on weapons. Only one could be installed on each weapon. It was somewhat similar to the Mana Armor Kit. However, Magic Devices did not increase any Basic Attributes. Instead, they could increase a weapon's strength.
After God's Domain's third evolution, both players and monsters would suffer a decrease in their combat power due to injuries. Only, while players could rely on healers to recover, the consumption of their weapons was unavoidable. This was especially true when fighting high-level monsters. It was extremely difficult for weapons to affect the combat power of Lords, whose skin was as tough as pig iron, unless the weapon's quality was extremely high.
Meanwhile, Magic Devices could strengthen weapons. Not only could they become sharper, but they could also grant special statuses such as Lightness, Heaviness, Hardness, Illusion, Paralysis, and so on. These statuses significantly increased a player's combat power.
Most importantly, Magic Devices were not Consumable items. They could be disassembled like embedded gemstones. Whether it was a Level 1 Common Weapon or a Level 200 Epic Weapon, they could be replaced at will.
Hence, players were scrambling for Magic Devices.
However, the production of Magic Devices was extremely difficult. They were also extremely rare. Even after reaching Level 100, many players still did not have a Magic Device of their own. Even Shifeng, who had reached Level 100, only used Mysterious-Iron Magic Devices. Moreover, he was the Guild Leader of a second-rate Guild. The other independent experts only had a single Bronze Magic Device.
If he could obtain the Magic Device Blueprint now, it would definitely become one of the Ling YI Society's trump cards.
"Have you made up your mind?" Serena asked as she toyed with the Magic Device Blueprint. Smiling, she said, "Time waits for no man. You only have three minutes to consider. If you do not choose, then you will have chosen the first option. You may leave once you obtain the Bible of Darkness."
"Screw it!" Shifeng's heart burned with passion as he looked at the Fallen Angel. "I choose the second option."
Whether it was the Chapter of Shelter or the Magic Device Blueprint, neither was easy to obtain. In fact, obtaining the Magic Device Blueprint was even more difficult than obtaining an Epic item. Otherwise, Magic Devices would not be so rare.
"Good. I knew you were a smart person. Let's begin, then." Serena smiled in satisfaction.
Serena waved her hand. Suddenly, the entire garden disappeared. Instead, the garden transformed into a volcanic hell. Molten lava covered a radius of 30 to 40 yards. The temperature was so high that ordinary players would most likely slowly burn to death. Only players with high Fire Resistance like Shifeng could survive in this environment for extended periods. Meanwhile, the gravity had also increased by three times, greatly affecting players' mobility.
