Chapter 347: The Disappearing Fishing Rod Embroidery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Journeying toward the Emerald Plain had gone very smoothly. Although more than a hundred Spirit Orbs and tickets were wasted, Qin Ruo was eventually allowed to reenter the Great Tree Forest.

On Level 1 of the Graveyard of the Gods, the Amethyst Orc and Qin Ruo rushed out simultaneously, ripping through an opening in the space. For a moment, they had scared off all the nearby players who all began to run away…

“What a joke!”

Qin Ruo had entered the Graveyard of the Gods with a red-tag status and broken through to Level 5 of the Graveyard of the Gods. He was also a Champion well-known as the Winter Demon. Furthermore, he possessed an Amethyst Orc, which had the strength of a Tier 5 Miniboss, and a Pet with terrifying speed as well as Field Commander strength. None of the Demon Faction players would dare to come close…

In fact, several Angel Faction players were very excited!

Once they spotted Qin Ruo, they were like perverted lechers who saw a beauty, and they advanced closely toward him. Qin Ruo ignored them and used the map to locate the nearest Bloodthirsty Tree. He then ascended and vanished into the air before the others who were watching like fools. He had completely disappeared…

“That guy’s crazy.”

“Even if he doesn’t want to team up with me, there’s no need to seek death in such a manner?”

Several players from the Angel Faction then walked away in a depressed mood.

With the help of the Amethyst Orc’s ultra-quick speed, Qin Ruo reached the nearest Lost Merchant with ease. Thereafter, with the Lost Merchant’s guidance, he managed to determine Mickel’s specific position.

He rushed madly!

He rushed madly all the way!

Within the remaining hour of the Amethyst Orc’s time, Qin Ruo was finally reunited with his old friend, Mikel—but this time, Qin Ruo did not continue to reminisce with Mikel about old times…

Without hesitation, he rushed to the vicinity of the nearest Bloodthirsty Tree. One person and one monster, they simultaneously entered the Bloodthirsty Tree’s range of attack. After they fed the Bloodthirsty Tree, they quickly collected the Soulblood.

With the addition of the Amethyst Orc, the speed of feeding the Bloodthirsty Tree had doubled!

In less than a minute, they took possession of the first Soulblood (originally, it would have required 180 seconds, but it could be that the Bloodthirsty Tree absorbed HP from some players before).

Having the Amethyst Orc with 100,000 HP as a good blood cow, it was just right for Qin Ruo to save time on repeated rest, speeding up the successful condensation of the Soulblood…

Qin Ruo knew that there was not much time left for the Amethyst Orc, so he summoned Little Poochie to accept the Bloodthirsty Tree’s “test”. He stood outside the Bloodthirsty Tree’s attack range and supplied blood to Little Poochie.

Halfway through, Little Poochie with its 3,600 HP came out to rest once. It had been feeding the Bloodthirsty Tree for more than one minute and fifty seconds…

The second Soulblood then fell into their hands.

While they collected it, the Amethyst Orc and Little Poochie quickly took the chance to rest to recover their HP. Although their speed had gradually slowed down, the process was still faster by almost a third than when Qin Ruo used his own body to feed the Bloodthirsty Tree.

An hour later, the Amethyst Orc reached its time limit, and it disappeared again.

In Qin Ruo’s hands was a total of 30 pieces of Soulblood!

Unfortunately, without the Amethyst Orc, the speed of collecting one piece of Soulblood dropped, and it now took a little more than four minutes. Only a maximum of 13 to 14 pieces of Soulblood could be collected per hour.

At that moment, there were only 12 hours left to the closure of the event in the Graveyard of the Gods.

While resting, Qin Ruo made some calculations in his head…

Taking into account the time between resting, eating, and going back and forth Mikel’s place, Qin Ruo was left with about 10 hours only. There were 140 pieces of Soulblood in addition to the 30 in his hands; it was already considered not bad. Once he shared them equally, everyone could collect up to nearly 3,000 points!

‘This should be enough.

‘Phew, I finally accomplished the mission.’

Qin Rou bowed his head and exhaled in relief…

Suddenly!

His gaze fell on the magic robe embroidered with dark gold patterns on his chest.

Bloodthirsty Robe:

Dark Gold tier

Defense +30

Magic Defense +18

Water Element Magic Damage increased by 8%

Water Element Condensation Speed increased by 5%

Water Element Magic Effect increased by 10%

Absorption of Water Element Magic Damage by 10%

Max HP increased by 200

Level requirement: 40

Limited to Aquamancers

Of course, Qin Ruo did not just decide to admire the Dark Gold Equipment on his body on a whim. He was suddenly reminded of the Demigod-tier old man, whom he had encountered on Level 2 of the Graveyard of the Gods, and the reward he had given Qin Ruo.

‘That fishing rod embroidery—was it not a chance to restore HP to max?

‘Why is there no effect?

‘Did it explode together with the Falling Sakura Snow Robe?’

Qin Ruo suddenly recalled the scene where he was fervently looting equipment from the Spirit Sovereign’s cave. His backpack was full, and he was not able to take that dagger. At that time… it seemed that the Spirit Sovereign had launched multiple magic attacks on Qin Ruo.

However, it was very strange. Back then, his own Darkfrost Shield had shattered after two hits. It would be reasonable to say that the Spirit Sovereign’s Magic Attack was more than 400. The remaining three attacks would have definitely obliterated 2,050 HP off of him.

Instead, at that moment, he had the chance to take what Little Poochie had found…

Squeak!

“Could it be that…”

Did the opportunity to regain max HP given to him by the old man already take effect at that moment?

Qin Ruo opened his mouth and quickly determined the possibility.

He was correct! It had to be true. Given the Spirit Sovereign’s power and its enraged state, it would have been impossible for him to have any room for escape just by using multiple magic tactics.

It seemed that the opportunity had been used.

Qin Ruo felt a slight sense of loss…

However, his heart soon stirred, and he quickly rummaged through his backpack. He retrieved a black ring which he had forgotten all about, from the bottom corner of his backpack.

Little Poochie had found it in on the lid of the treasure chest…

‘I almost forgot about this little thing.

‘Let’s go back and identify it again.’

Qin Ruo did not care about it very much. He put the ring back into his backpack and hurriedly continued to collect the Soulblood.

Taking a break from collecting Soulblood, Qin Ruo consumed a bottle of Great Tree Sap again and went offline to grab a bite. At the same time, he shared news of the acquirement of his own Divinity with Xiaoxiao.

Qin Ruo did not forget to instruct Xiaoxiao to keep it a secret for him—he understood the meaning of being faultless as an ordinary man, but having a treasured item had now become a crime for him.

He had paid a great price and sacrificed much with the others to obtain the Divinity, so it was justified for him to possess it. However, he still had not reached Tier 5 after all. If the news was leaked out, it would inevitably attract the unnecessary attention of League Masters and Supreme Champions, which would be troublesome.

If someone wished to acquire it at a high price, and Qin Ruo refused to sell, he would obviously offend a League or two.

Therefore, the news had to be sealed within the knowledge of a limited few. Apart from Slayer’s Heart and Subjugator, he could no longer disclose the matter to more people.

Despite the fact that Divinity had become the hottest topic on the official forum and the focus of countless players’ attention, Qin Ruo’s Divinity was destined to remain unknown until he officially stepped into the Tier 5 domain.

***

While Qin Ruo was on Level 1 of the Graveyard of the Gods, the five individuals— Subjugator, Judge, Fateless, Black Rock, and Snowleaf—had grown a little restless.

It had been more than a dozen hours since he entered the Graveyard of the Gods until now, and during this time, Qin Ruo did not even report back the slightest information. Although the longer Qin Ruo stayed in the Graveyard of the Gods, the more points would be accumulated for them, and these points could be exchanged for an even larger quantity of better things. However, the period of waiting indefinitely without any news… was really difficult to bear.

Another group of people had also tried to reenter the Graveyard of the Gods. During the final hours of the event, they intended to find the Tier 5 Boss’ treasure mentioned by Qin Ruo, or perhaps, to obtain some equipment from players of the enemy League…

Unfortunately…

In the end, very few players ended up on the first four levels!

At that time, most players had gradually withdrawn from the brutal competition of the Graveyard of the Gods… and diverted their attention into hatching their pets. The emergence of more and more powerful pets had allowed more players to see the hope of advancing to Tier 5 and widen that powerful channel for themselves.

With the exception of strong and powerfully-equipped players, few were still willing to stay in the Graveyard of the Gods, where an extremely formidable Tier 5 Boss and a Tier 6 monster only remained.

Alas…

The five individuals were not very eager to enter the Graveyard of the Gods and later became bored. One by one, they arrived in Savis Town through the warp portal and sincerely returned to Champion’s Restaurant to drink—the first four levels were of no interest to them (no team, no treasure chest, and Boss that could not be lured away). Level 5 of the Graveyard of the Gods was too dangerous. To go alone would be 100% asking for trouble.

***

As the event of the Graveyard of the gods entered its countdown stage, an extremely exhausted silhouette appeared in Savis Town through the warp portal more than ten minutes after.

“Sigh.”

Looking up at the peaceful blue sky above the town, Qin Ruo released a long exhale. In pain yet gratified, he sighed ruefully. “Next time, even if I’m beaten to death… I won’t take on such work.”
