Chapter 1365: Chapter 1367: Inlay Chapter 1365: Chapter 1367: Inlay Bosses of the Dominion level have a chance to drop epic-grade items, but the probability of these items being of exceptional quality is very low. However, if a golden-quality item drops, the chance of it being of the superior Dark Gold Quality is much higher.
Song Jian walked up to the corpse of the mutated fearsome wolf beast and didn't pick up the spoils of war right away; instead, he carefully examined the body of the beast. At this point, the flesh and bones of the mutated fearsome wolf beast had already turned into sand-like grains as fine as the tip of a needle. These grains were a strange gray color and extremely hard; Song Jian couldn't even crush them with his fingers.
“This isn't a body of flesh and blood at all anymore; it has transformed into another kind of material…” Song Jian thought to himself.
After studying it for a while, Song Jian had no idea why this situation had occurred. Furthermore, after transforming into a sand-like substance, the transparent flames that usually burned them did not appear, which surprised Song Jian. Could it be that the Chaotic Force could even change the rules within the game?
Unable to figure it out, Song Jian decided to focus his attention on the loot that had dropped.
“Eyes of the Fearsome Wolf, Dark Gold Quality, Inlay item, Attributes: can be inlaid in any socket, after inlaying, Strength +10, Constitution +12, Agility +15, Dark Vision +10, Farsight +50; can trigger the skill 'Bloodthirst'. Skill effect, once activated, the user will gain a 30% bonus to attack speed, movement speed, and convert 12% of the damage dealt to enemies into the user's Vitality Points. This state lasts for 30 seconds with a cooldown of 30 minutes; Item description: This item is a mutated organ that occurred within the body of the mutated fearsome wolf beast. After leaving this world and handing it over, it can improve your Assessment World clearance rating!”
“So it's both an inlay item and a mutated organ that can enhance my clearance rating?” A smile appeared on the corner of Song Jian's mouth. Ordinary mutated organs didn't have item attributes; they only had the property to enhance the clearance rating. This eyeball was worth much more than the usual mutated organs and could possibly raise my clearance rating by one level!
Song Jian thought about it; the attributes the eyeball improved were average, but the inherent skill Bloodthirst was very powerful. If he had had this skill during his battle with the mutated fearsome wolf beast, he wouldn't have risked using the “Sky-opening” sword move, which he had not yet fully mastered.
At this moment, the Hexagram Array Diagram on his Night Slayer still lacked three talismans; this was the perfect opportunity to inlay the eyeball into the fourth talisman's position.
With this thought in mind, Song Jian slowly brought the eyeball close to the Hexagram Array Diagram near his chest. The Hexagram Array Diagram, which had already blended into his skin, started to emerge and radiate dazzling light. Of the six points, three already had talismans inlaid, while the other three points were just dim sockets.
The eyeball in his hand soon transformed into a red stream of energy and entered the Hexagram Array Diagram. Bizarre energies circulated continuously within the Hexagram Array Diagram, and a red multifaceted crystal appeared on the fourth point of the Hexagram Star.
A hot sensation suddenly came from his chest and spread throughout Song Jian's body. Every pore seemed to be radiating heat outward. The sensation came quickly and vanished just as fast; after a short while, it had completely disappeared. Checking his attributes, he indeed saw a new “Monster Eye Talisman,” with the listed attributes being those of the Eyes of the Fearsome Wolf.
Just then, Song Jian noticed that the human-shaped monsters in the remaining intact Life-sustaining Capsules were also slowly awakening. However, their recovery was not swift, and at the moment, they were only twitching unconsciously.
A smile formed on Song Jian's lips; although he hadn't fully recovered, dealing with these human-shaped monsters that didn't even reach the strength of an Elite Level Boss didn't require strenuous effort. The Sky-breaking Sword in his hand thrust fiercely into the Life-sustaining Capsule, instantly clouding the vital fluid within. The monsters inside didn't even open their eyes before their bodies began to convulse violently. In no time at all, Song Jian received the system notification for a successful kill:
Due to the vast disparity in strength, these monsters did not drop any loot, but the increased clearance rating was still awarded. After killing these monsters, Song Jian's clearance rating was finally raised by one level again.
However, this time the rise was only a minor level, unlike the previous enhancement, this time it was equivalent to going from B level to B+ level.
Song Jian smiled slightly, as long as he could ensure the acquisition of asteroid fragments and successful completion of the main assessment quest, his passing grade would be at least an A level.
“What a pity, it looks like this Golden Side Quest won't be completed after all. Otherwise, the passing grade could at least reach S level, or even SS level!” Song Jian thought with some regret.
Golden Side Quests are a matter of chance rather than choice; once discovered, one should do everything possible to complete them, even if it means abandoning the main quest. After all, failing the main quest simply means waiting another three months, but Golden Side Quests aren't guaranteed to appear in every Assessment World.
According to Song Jian's understanding, that group from the Alien Clan would probably give up the main quest and go all out to complete this Golden Side Quest. If it were him, he would likely make the same choice.
“Exploring ruins is clearly just the first part of the quest. Who knows what lies hidden within them–I really want to take a look!” Song Jian sighed, and after a thorough search of the testing grounds with no further findings, he continued to move forward. He could now faintly sense the presence of weak radiation emanating from deep within the base. This radiation had no effect on his sturdy body, but typical creatures exposed to its influence for an extended period would undergo uncontrollable and bizarre cellular mutations.
These mutations could lead to detrimental changes in ordinary creatures, like tumors or cancer, or they might result in beneficial mutations, improving intellect, enhancing physical qualities, or causing various other changes!
Just then, the voice of the Thunder Eagle Beast echoed in Song Jian's mind.
“Song Jian, a group of human race examinees from our faction are advancing towards this area for exploration. In just over ten kilometers, they'll discover this base!”
At this moment, the Thunder Eagle Beast was not standing guard at the outskirts of the base as Song Jian had expected. After finding out it was unable to shake the ropes securing the supply boxes with its strength, the mutated Thunder Eagle Beast Patsha took to the skies for a high-altitude reconnaissance of the surroundings.
With its powerful vision, it naturally spotted the group of human race examinees on the ground who seemed to be in quite a disheveled state.
“So many are still alive?” Upon seeing the images transmitted by Patsha, Song Jian was quite surprised. After all, his estimate was that even a formidable defense warrior like Teer had perished, and it was likely that the remaining human race examinees had been driven out–with perhaps only Doya, adept at transformation spells, left. Unexpectedly, there were still five examinees remaining.
“It looks like the Alien Clan has also focused all their attention on the Golden Side Quest. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let so many survive!” Song Jian shook his head, thinking to himself.
“Never mind them, if they find this place, let them come here on their own.” Song Jian sent a message to the Thunder Eagle Beast and then put the group of examinees out of his mind, continuing on towards the deeper parts of the base.
