Sheyan and Sheyan didn't encounter any troubles along the way back. Once again, they returned to the abandoned Ndipaya village. It seemed like it had just rained here, as the fire that engulfed the village was extinguished. Spirals of green smoke were still rising from the ruins, as though the soaring flames hadn't alarmed anyone. Not a single fresh footprint was left on the damp soil.
With a single glance, Sheyan noticed a shocking silvery glimmer at the spot where the 'II' Plaga Host collapsed. Overjoyed, he grabbed the key and fled back! It could be said that he was fleeing like a boar rushing like a wolf; incomparably shameful. Nevertheless, in the face of immense benefits, he couldn't care less about losing face. Once he was safe, Sheyan couldn't resist the urge to summon his treasure chest. Right now, he desperately needed something exciting to stimulate his dispirited state of mind.
[You received 10,000 utility points.]
[You received the Ndipaya recipe 'Ancient Gysi'. You grasped the method of combining a stalk of 'Scarlet Saliva Grass' and a 'Greenspot Grass' to concoct this unique medicine. Ancient Gysi can restore 100% of your HP within 12 seconds, and dispel all disease effects on your body. This medicine does not share a cooldown time with other medicines.]
The next notification instantly roused Sheyan's spirits. He had finally obtained his first equipment in this hidden world!
It was actually the gigantic mask on the head of the Ndipaya Masked Shaman.
[Ndipaya Gigantic Majestic Mask]
[Origin: Resident Evil, Origins (Hidden World)]
[Equipment rarity: Dark-green (set 1/3)]
[Material: Striped Ebony + Peat layer + Flagellate + Human blood + Mutated powder]
[Addons: Gems (slots x2)]

[Equipment usage requirements: Strength 30 points, intelligence 40 points, spirit 40 points] [Basic Meditation lvl 8]]
[Durability: 191200]
[Details: In combat, this gigantic heavy mask will become a burden to you. Movement speed will be reduced to 15 points (equivalent to 15 points of agility). If your movement speed is below 15 points, it will be calculated according to your original movement speed]
Equip: Because this heavy and huge surface has a strange power, it can greatly increase the defensive power of your front side. Therefore, any defensive power on your back will be weakened to 0. All damage dealt to you will not be reduced. This special effect takes precedence.
Equip: Your frontal Defense is increased by an additional 100%. All attacks directed at you have a 60% chance to absorb half of the damage.
Equip: 33% increase in duration of your damage over time ability; 33% increase in MP cost for your damage over time ability.
Equipment: Intelligence + 3, Spirit + 3, Physique + 10
Equip: Agility -8
[Special effect: Crude – The crude craftsmanship of the Ndipaya natives determines the fragility of this mask. If the user receives a direct attack from an enemy, there is a 50% chance of doubling its durability.]
Special Effect: Rare. This mask is produced in the hidden world and is very rare. Therefore, the materials used to repair it are very precious. If you want to repair it in the realm, in addition to paying 500% of the repair fee, you must also pay a merit point!
[Ability: Prayer – For hundreds of years, this shield has been worshipped by the Ndipaya natives as part of their faith. Therefore, after expending a certain amount of MP, your prayer will be answered.]
[After activating prayer, your maximum MP will be forcibly reduced by 25%. Correspondingly, your abilities will receive a minimum of 2.5 seconds and a maximum of 5 seconds of additional chanting time. After the chanting time ends, your damage to enemies will be increased by 25% – 50%, based on the duration of the chanting time.]
[Prayer will restore the MP lowered after 60 minutes. Only one ability will receive a 'Prayer' boost after each prayer. Once released, it will cease to be effective.]
[Set effect:????] (You must acquire the remaining Ndipaya Prestige set to activate this property)
[Set effect:????] (You must acquire the entire Ndipaya Prestige set to activate this property)
[Description: This is a mask that has been worshipped by the Ndipaya natives for many years. It is a symbol of their status. Once you encounter an enemy wearing this mask, be doubly wary of them. The freakish nature of these natives is beyond your imagination.]
If it wasn't for the fact that its original owner was a loser who had consumed the 'Stairway of the Sun' and was devoured by the virus and had completely lost his memory and turned into a terrifying creature, he definitely wouldn't have casually left the mask aside and allowed you to obtain it so easily!

A set! It was actually a set!
This was the first time Sheyan acquired such a quality equipment in the realm. Prior to this, he had seen two sets of green grade pistols in the marketplace. If one were to look at them separately, their individual attributes could only be considered as a relatively good black grade equipment. However, the combined attributes of the two pistols was extremely perverse. [When equipping this weapon, there is a 5% chance of stunning the opponent for 2 seconds!]
One must understand, this bonus was applied to both pistols simultaneously! If he fired both guns at the same time, the chance of stun would increase to 10%. Furthermore, he had to take into account that the firing speed of pistols was usually quite fast. With the various enhancements from Agility, Basic Ranged Combat, and Firearms Mastery, if he focused on firing speed, firing two or three shots per second wouldn't be a problem.
Back then, when the seller displayed the actual combat shooting ability, the stun rate of the enemy could reach 2 seconds every 10 seconds. In a battle with contestants, the effect was astonishing, and thus it was sold at an extremely high price.
In other words, under normal circumstances, the activated properties of a set equipment would be exceedingly formidable.
Furthermore, based on the attributes of this set equipment, it could be said to surpass the pinnacle of silver storyline grade equipment, and was only second to dark-gold grade equipment. To a mage type contestant, the greatest threat to them wasn't from close combat, but from long range snipers and mage type contestants. Under the circumstances of a party member shielding them from the front, it would be an exceedingly challenging matter to sneak behind them.
Therefore, just the defensive properties alone were already exceedingly superb, what more the 'Prayer' property? This was an ability that wasn't beneficial to a contestant in a PVP battle, but it was a superb ability for storyline missions. By paying the price of an additional chant time and a temporary 25% MP reduction, one could raise the might of one's abilities by a maximum of 50%!! How profitable would that be? One must understand, perhaps this enhancement wasn't obvious in the early stages, but after becoming a Growth-Hunter, an additional 50% increase in the might of a magic type ability, signified an increase of at least 30 points in MP to achieve the same effect!
This was merely the current value of this mask, Sheyan hadn't factored in its value after it became a set equipment! This item was completely different from the useless dark-gold grade accessory he obtained previously! The two major aspects of its enhanced survivability and ability might, were what every mage type contestant lacked!
It could be said that with such a piece of equipment, entering this world would be a worthwhile trip.
After obtaining this item, Sheyan very naturally … … .just like how a male couldn't help but cast a few glances at a pair of long black stockings … … .he began to covet the whereabouts of the other two set equipment.
Although Sheyan knew the chances were slim, there wasn't much wrong in thinking about it right?
According to the description of this equipment, this' Ndipaya Gigantic Majestic Mask 'wasn't merely a protective equipment, but a symbol of status and authority. Therefore, under normal circumstances, as long as the owner wasn't in a state of combat or infected state, it should be kept in the residence of a Ndipaya Shaman. Moreover, it should be kept within the distinctive treasure chest of the Ndipaya Shaman. If only I possess the ability of invisibility, then I can infiltrate.... wait!!!
Wait wait wait wait!
Invisibility! That's right, invisibility!!!
These two words were like a bolt of lightning flashing through the dense dark clouds of the sky, completely clearing up Sheyan's previously blocked train of thought!
I'm not the first motherf * cker to arrive here, infiltrate deep into the heart of the Ndipaya Marshland, and steal the 'Stairway of the Sun'.
The original Bernard Fokke and his descendant, Little Lord Fokke, had traversed thousands of miles across the sea, and succeeded in obtaining the 'Stairway of the Sun'. When they first arrived here, they definitely couldn't match up to our trio! Black magic was mainly based on curses and killing. Without top-notch support spells like invisibility, this signified that they couldn't stealthily infiltrate with invisibility....
Since they couldn't invisibility....
Then, how did those two damned bastards succeed in stealing the 'Stairway of the Sun', and escape unscathed??
Thinking of that, Sheyan immediately flipped open Bernard Fokke's nautical manual. That guy's manual recorded the coordinates of Port Qom as XXX, XXXX.
Following that, the remaining pages were torn apart, revealing a series of words:
Remnant pages, unable to be read.
Evidently, the remnant pages should've recorded how an ordinary human (Bernard Fokke was an ordinary human when he arrived here), infiltrated deep into the heart of the Ndipaya Marshland, and wasn't captured by those vicious natives. Finally, he managed to escape unscathed, and conquered a vast territory!
Regrettably, Sheyan initially assumed that the nautical manual had been preserved for too long, and these pages were inadvertently lost.
But now, it seemed like those crucial pages had been torn apart by Little Lord Fokke!! He wanted to use such an extreme method to protect this secret of the Fokke family!!!!

Hahaha, how many people had guessed that Sheyan had overlooked this blind spot in his train of thought? Oh, the following is even more splendid.
