Smack!
Lu Ran caught the Sea-Calming Trident in his hands.
He could even feel the warmth still lingering on it.
He couldn’t wait to open the attribute panel and take a look.
But before he could even look,
he received a notification:
[Your equipment, ‘Dwarf Sacred Artifact · Fánàn’s Sea-Calming Trident,’ has entered the 2nd place on the Global Equipment Rankings. Do you want to display your personal information?]
Oh?
Lu Ran’s eyes lit up.
The name of this thing has already changed!
Just like the Elf Wings, which have the prefix ‘Elf Sacred Artifact.’
Now, this weapon has the prefix ‘Dwarf Sacred Artifact.’
So it really is a sacred artifact-level item!
And it’s classified as a Dwarf Sacred Artifact.
Probably because it was forged using the Dwarven Forge.
And it’s now ranked second on the Global Equipment Rankings!
The number one spot is still held by his Elf Wings.
Two sacred artifacts, occupying the top two positions on the global equipment rankings!
Looking down on the whole world!
Lu Ran chose to hide his personal information, and then looked at the attributes.
【Dwarf Sacred Artifact · Fánàn’s Sea-Calming Trident】
【Slot: Weapon】
【Quality: Primeval Epic】
【Level: No Restriction】
【Class: No Restriction】
【Intelligence: 1850】
【Stamina: 1300】
【Magic Defense: 1370】
【Physical Defense: 1370】
【Bonus: Increases base damage of all skill types by 20% (Dwarven Forging exclusive enhancement)】
【Bonus: Provides passive ability ‘Do As You Please’ (Dwarven Forging exclusive enhancement)】
Lu Ran was a bit stunned.
Looking at this, the four core attributes have indeed increased a lot, even higher than those of the Elf Wings!
That’s normal.
Because the Elf Wings are, after all, a cloak slot item.
The Sea-Calming Trident is a weapon slot item, so it naturally provides more attribute points.
Also.
Originally, it only increased water-type skill damage by 10%, a completely useless attribute for Lu Ran.
But now, thanks to the Dwarven Forging, it’s been changed to increase all skill type damage!
And the increase percentage has become 20%!
A 20% increase to all skill type damage!
What an incredibly exaggerated and terrifying boost!
A formerly useless attribute has now brought Lu Ran a massive improvement!
But strangely enough.
The passive below is still ‘Do As You Please,’ with no change.
Though it also has the Dwarven Forging exclusive enhancement mark next to it.
“So, what got enhanced is the effect of ‘Do As You Please’?” Lu Ran thought curiously.
But ‘Do As You Please’ itself isn’t a damage-boosting passive.
Instead, it allows Lu Ran to freely control the area of effect and shape of his skills.
So how could it be enhanced further?
Filled with curiosity and questions, Lu Ran opened his skill panel to take a look.
【Passive: Do As You Please】
【Effect: Increases the area of effect for all the wearer’s skills by 100%! Also allows the wearer to freely adjust the area of effect and shape of their own skills.]
Oh?
Lu Ran’s eyes lit up.
So there is a change!
Originally, ‘Do As You Please’ just let him freely adjust the area and shape of his skills.
That was already pretty amazing for Lu Ran.
But now, Lu Ran’s skill area of effect is increased by 100%!
Doesn’t that mean it’s doubled?
Even for an ordinary class holder, a skill that originally spanned tens of meters could easily reach nearly a hundred meters!
A control-oriented magic class could even lock down a melee or ranged enemy from a distance until they die!
The enemy wouldn’t even have a chance to touch you!
With such an exaggerated effect, applied to Lu Ran, it becomes even more ridiculous!
Because Lu Ran’s skill range is already terrifying on its own!
Now with a double increase, it’s not just a matter of a few dozen meters more.
Lu Ran swallowed hard.
He looked towards Liu Xinxin and the others.
“So? How are the stats?”
“Did it make it onto the global equipment rankings? What place?”
“The original ‘Do As You Please’ effect is still there, right? It would be bad if that got replaced!”
“Show us already!”
…
The three of them had been waiting impatiently for a while.
Lu Ran didn’t try to hide it, anyway, it’s not really a secret.
On the global equipment rankings, anyone can check the attribute details!
“It’s ranked second on the global equipment list, right after the Elf Wings. The attribute boost is naturally great, and on top of that, the Dwarf King specifically adjusted it for my Necromancer class,” Lu Ran explained as he showed them.
The three looked and their eyes also lit up.
“So the useless attribute that increased water skill damage got changed!”
“And the damage increase went up to 20%!”
“Nice! The ‘Do As You Please’ effect changed too?”
“Whoa, the area of effect doubled?”
“For others, double is just double, but for Lu Ran, double isn’t that simple…”
…
At this point,
Liu Xinxin asked, “Lu Ran, what’s your skill area of effect at now, after all the bonuses?”
Lu Ran opened his attributes panel to check.
He said, “There are some differences between skills, but not much. The maximum coverage area is now three hundred kilometers.”
That means double would be six hundred kilometers!
Over a thousand li (unit of distance, about 500 meters per li)!
“It was such a clever coincidence that we got the Sea-Calming Trident back then. It gave you the ability to control your skill range. Otherwise, if you casually tossed out a Bone Storm in the wild, covering over a thousand li… that would be…” Lei Tai said, half laughing, half crying.
Liu Xinxin nodded in agreement.
She said, “We’re also lucky that Qin Wuyao pulled you into the Tian Dao Alliance back then. Otherwise, if the country hadn’t recruited you early, and you got used to being wild, and then turned out to have bad intentions… Longxia would have been in big trouble.”
Ye Hongyi added, “If my brother had bad intentions, it wouldn’t just be Longxia that suffers; the whole world couldn’t escape it! Give him enough time to grow, and eventually, there wouldn’t be a problem with his skills covering the entire globe.”
Hearing this, their heads were all spinning.
Skills covering the entire globe!
With no cooldown and infinite stacking!
It’s impossible to imagine how terrifying that would be!
Meanwhile.
Around the world.
The appearance of the second sacred artifact, claiming the number two spot on the global equipment rankings, caused a huge uproar!
And moreover, the number one and number two spots, both sacred artifacts, belong to the same mysterious Necromancer from Longxia!
Within Longxia’s borders.
Every instance dungeon hall noticed this.
“Another sacred artifact appears, following the Elf Wings!”
“Whoa, it’s still that Necromancer big shot’s item, that’s so awesome!”
“Impressive, impressive. I’m convinced.”
“Isn’t that the Sea-Calming Trident from before? How did its attributes change? And its ranking went up?”
“Dwarven Forging? What’s that? Aren’t the Dwarves in a forbidden zone?”
“Whoa, the Necromancer big shot went to the Northwest Sand Sea? That’s a forbidden zone!”
“We’re still grinding dungeons, and this big shot is already going into forbidden zones.”
“That’s the difference in level!”
…
For a time, discussions about the reforged Sea-Calming Trident were rising and falling.
Of course.
The topic of conversation ultimately revolved around the Necromancer big shot.
Amidst the noisy atmosphere of the hall
only a woman wearing a veil and a cloak stood quietly.
After a few seconds,
she slowly looked up, a striking brilliance shining in Nana’s beautiful eyes.
She murmured to herself, “I told you, he wouldn’t stay unknown forever. The Northwest Sand Sea… found you!”
