The Death List Novel - Chapter 525
Chapter 525 Contribution Points
[Apostle 70053 has detected that there is a Wood Legendary Artifact Soul in the Spiritual Equipment. You can pay a certain price to replace the Pseudo-Godhead in the Thorn Crown of the Unfused Equipment and reset the item settings.]
“Can a soul that has already fused with spiritual equipment be taken out again?” This prompt made Qin Lun feel very strange, but he quickly felt relieved.
There were many times when equipment and artifact souls were not compatible. Apostle’s equipment was essentially a kind of spiritual item, and equipment was just a host for artifact souls. Logically speaking, all the Laws, abilities, and attributes that Apostle’s equipment possessed were given by the artifact soul.
However, equipment of legendary quality and below was too weak, and it would dissipate as soon as it was taken out, so it was very difficult to replace it. Only Legendary grade equipment, including Sub-Legendary grade equipment, had a high density of artifact souls, and could withstand this kind of replacement. However, after the replacement, the original equipment would lose its spirituality and would be completely scrapped.
Qin Lun didn’t need to think too much about the Wood Legendary Artifact Soul mentioned in the prompt message. He knew that it was referring to Ayala, the Legendary Tree Demon. Kieran would not do such a foolish thing if he scrapped a legend that was easy to deal with and went to another legend that didn’t know the actual effect.
However, the Ayala Weapon Box was very special. One had to know that there wasn’t only one weapon soul in this weapon box. It had two weapon souls. Apart from Ayala, there was also a sub-legendary Ice Elves, who had suffered an injury to his vitality. It is worth considering if the removal of Ayala is accompanied by the non-need for end-of-life weapons cassettes.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun once again sank his consciousness into the death list and began to inquire about a few questions he was concerned about. About half an hour later, he finally found out all the information contained in this prompt and couldn’t help but hesitate.
After inquiry, he found more information. First of all, this type of artifact soul replacement in the starry sky was not a normal service. Normally, there were very few opportunities for it to appear. Ordinary Apostle might not even have heard of it.
Tool Soul Replacement Service had to meet many special conditions, the first of which was to reject most of the Apostle. It required Apostle to have a third rank title. Qin Lun’s current contribution was more than four hundred. The Universal Title had been upgraded to the “Common Crew” of the custom Qin military merit title. It was also the second rank and fourth rank of the Broken Universe. It failed to meet the service requirements.
If the title requirements were not met, the Tool Soul Replacement Service would only appear on extremely special unfused equipment. The so-called unfused equipment was the Thorned Crown Magic Cube, which required Apostle’s ability to specify items.
This type of unfused equipment was actually a special reward from the starry sky. Only when Apostle made extraordinary contributions in a mission world would the Shattered Star Cube give this type of unfused equipment the Magic Cube, deliberately providing Apostle with a high-quality equipment that was extremely suitable for him.
Tool Soul Replacement was to prevent Apostle from obtaining high-quality equipment, but he did not like the ability attributes set by the starry sky. Therefore, Apostle had to replace a familiar Tool Soul with the equipment he already had.
Secondly, after Qin Lun found out that there were two artifact souls in the Ayala Weapon Box, it would not be replaced by the “Pseudo-Godhead” formed by the Thorn Crown. Instead, the divinity in the Thorn Crown was split into two, one part fusing into Ayala, the other part into the Ice Elves.
On the one hand, Ayala’s artifact soul would coordinate with the Thorn Crown, and on the other hand, it would repair the missing spirituality of the weapon sheath, preventing it from decreasing from Legendary Quality to Dark Gold Equipment.
Thirdly, the other piece of information that Qin Lun had obtained from this prompt was very interesting. There was a price to pay for soul replacement. This price was not broken crystals or anything else, but contribution points.
Qin Lun had never known that the Contribution Points that originally represented titles were actually a Apostle currency that could be consumed. In fact, he spent a lot of time on this aspect of the inquiry process.
Originally, the contribution points that represented titles were a consumable currency of Apostle, and it was also a high-value currency. However, there are many restrictions on the use of contribution points. Apart from certain exceptional circumstances, only those who have reached the third rank can use contribution points.
Apostle, who had truly reached the third rank, was basically a veteran expert who had entered the second rank for a long time, even if it wasn’t a high rank Apostle. Every Apostle had one or two pieces of Legendary equipment on him. One of the most important roles of contribution points was to repair equipment and recharge it.
For example, Qin Lun had used a Secret Silver Arrow to defeat Hawkeye Clint in the Divine Comedy World. After that, even though the arrows were recovered, the magic energy within them had already been exhausted and needed to be recharged.
Qin Lun knew that there was such a charging service in the Broken Star System, but he had never used it himself. He only thought that he could use the Broken Crystal Charging, but he didn’t expect it to be a Contribution Points. In this way, he would have to pay attention to the frequency of using the Secret Silver Arrow before reaching the third rank.
Apart from recharging the equipment, the contribution points also had many other functions. Qin Lun summed it up. Most of the time, it was a service that needed to be repaired by the laws of the shattered starry sky. This could be said to make sense. The contribution points were Apostle’s contribution to the starry sky, so it was reasonable to use them to pay for the Laws of the starry sky.
A similar equipment repair service was a kind of Law Repair. Of course, requiring equipment repairs to be done in the Broken Universe was also very expensive. With a mere 10-20 points of contribution from an ordinary Apostle mission, it was simply impossible to make up for the depreciation of equipment.
Therefore, Qin Lun guessed that Apostle who had reached the third level would rarely choose such a service unless they were Legendary grade or extremely core Dark Gold equipment. As for the blue, purple, and even ordinary dark gold equipment, they might just have to find the blacksmiths in Apostle City to repair them.
Although the quality of the equipment would decrease, the value of the equipment was not high, and it was not worth using contribution points. It was better to spend tens of thousands of broken crystals to buy a new one.
No wonder there were so many Apostle entering and leaving the mission world every day, but the price of Devil’s horn’s equipment did not fluctuate too much. The damage to his equipment was also very serious, not to mention that once Apostle died, most of his equipment would be recovered by the starry sky.
Of course, although contribution points belonged to money, the title of contribution points would not fall again with the consumption of contribution points. It would only rise continuously.
The final result of Qin Lun’s inquiry was that he would need to spend nearly 300 Contribution Points to complete the artifact soul replacement, which was almost three-quarters of all Contribution Points.
This was indeed a huge price. One had to know that he had accumulated more than ten mission points to obtain these contribution points. If it was an ordinary Apostle, it would probably require more than twenty missions.
Even though he was a little unwilling, Qin Lun thought for a while and agreed to pay contribution points to replace the artifact soul.
After obtaining Qin Lun’s consent, the Thorn Crown Magic Cube slowly opened and a emerald green thorn crown that emitted a gentle green light floated out.
At the same time, the Ayala Armament Casing also floated in the air from its storage space. The two items appeared to be somewhat transparent and illusory, as if they were not in the space they were currently in, and had been pulled into another dimension of space and time by the starry sky.
Very quickly, a small ball of milky white light separated from the thorn crown. This white light appeared pure and holy. Even though it was separated by a layer of space-time membrane, it still gave people an inexplicable sense of sacredness. It should be the divinity of the thorn crown.
At the same time, a ball of green light appeared on the other side of the Ayala Weapon Box. However, compared to the Thorn Crown, this green light was only the size of a broad bean, and within it, a small sapling-shaped plant could be vaguely seen, making it look very inconspicuous.
As the Ayala artifact soul left the weapon casing, the holy white light between the two items slowly split into two parts. The larger part merged into the Ayala tree demon artifact soul and dragged it into the thorn crown. The smaller part merged into the original Ayala artifact casing.
However, when the holy white light merged into Ayala’s artifact soul, another hint appeared in Qin Lun’s mind.
[Apostle 70053, Ayala has detected a sleeping Tree Demon consciousness in the artifact soul. After fusing with divinity, it is possible for the consciousness to awaken. Do you want to erase the existence of the consciousness and restore it to a pure artifact soul?]
“Erase!” Qin Lun’s expression darkened. Without hesitation, he gave the order. Originally, he thought that the Blood of Dissection had erased the consciousness of the Legendary Tree Demon after obtaining control of the Ayala Weapon Box. He didn’t expect it to just fall into a deep slumber.
Even though the Tree Demon was now completely under Qin Lun’s control and could not resist him even if he woke up, Qin Lun was still unwilling to take on such a variable.
Upon receiving Qin Lun’s instructions, the sapling inside Ayala’s artifact soul slowly faded away and turned into a ball of pure green light that fused into the thorn crown. However, this time, Qin Lun did not receive any item settings. Since he had chosen the Ayala Tool Soul, the Thorn Crown’s future attributes were fixed and could not be reset.
After the two pieces of equipment fused with each other’s artifact souls and divinity, they slowly left the illusory transparent state and landed in Qin Lun’s hands. The Thorn Crown Magic Cube also disappeared into the air at the right time.
With the loss of the Ayala Tool Soul, the appearance of the Ayala Armament Box had also changed. The Tree Demon’s face on the front of the weapon box had completely disappeared. The non-gold and non-wood outer shell was now covered with a layer of pure white frost. It was suffused with an icy cold aura, as if it had just been taken out of the freezer.
The Thorn Crown that fused with Ayala’s artifact soul did not change much. However, the originally somewhat withered vine crown now seemed to be glowing with new spring, and there was a layer of fresh and tender greenery on it, revealing vigor and vitality.
After coming into contact with the object, Qin Lun couldn’t wait to check the description of the two items on the death list.
Weapon Box [Wind Chasing Frost] (Composite Equipment)
Quality: Legendary Tier 1
Material: Star Meteorite Iron, World Tree Branch, Frost Gem, Elemental Burst Bead, etc
Weight: 2600 g
Perception: 8 points; Spirit: 7 points;
Tool Soul: Frost Great Elves
Main Equipment: Wind Chasing Frost; Accessory Combination Equipment: World Tree Ice Bow, Frost Ghost Claw
Equipment slot 1: vacant; Equipment slot II: vacant
Item Laws: Dry Glacier, Ice Arrow
Dry Glacier: This equipment can absorb water molecules from nearby areas in a very short period of time, causing the ground to dry up and crack, freezing and releasing frost elements stored in the equipment at one time, freezing the area completely.
Ice Arrow: The World Tree Ice Bow automatically forms an ice arrow by consuming the user’s mana or the ice elemental stored in the weapon casing. Apart from physical damage, the ice arrow also inflicts frost damage. After breaking, it will form frost spattering on the target.
Equipment Description 1: The two equipment slots of the Ayala Weapon Box belong to the embedded equipment column and can accommodate any two pieces of equipment with a volume of five units. The shape of the equipment bar is not fixed and can be changed according to the shape of the equipment.
Equipment Description 2: Dry Glacier is an active skill that requires the weapon casing to be converted to land-on mode. After releasing the Frost Elemental at one time, the equipment requires three natural days to replenish the Frost Elemental. Dry glaciers require Apostle to have earth element affinity and be recognized by the Wind Chasing Frost Ice Elves.
The main equipment of the Weapon Box, Wind Chasing Frost, was no different from before. The additional skills were the same as Wind Chasing Frost. There were three abilities: Moon Night Runes, Frost, and Wind Chasing Frost.
However, the quality of the equipment had recovered from Violet Gold to Legendary Rank, and Ice Elves had grown into Frost Great Elves. Furthermore, it was no longer a sub-legend, but a direct Legendary First Order. It seemed that the small ball of divinity that had fused together had formed a qualitative change to the Wind Chasing Frost.
However, due to the lack of Ayala’s weapon soul, the original green gift ability had disappeared. The amplification of perception and spirit decreases, strength and agility attributes are no longer reduced, and there is no longer a continuous regeneration gain for HP and Spirit.
The original additional equipment, the Ayala longbow, had turned into the World Tree Ice Bow. With the addition of an ice arrow ability, its power seemed to have increased a little.
Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the most important skill in the weapon box, Dry Glacier, was still there. He was afraid that the loss of an artifact soul would affect this skill. From the looks of it, it was indeed a waste for the two legendary artifact souls to focus on one piece of equipment.
After taking a rough look at the weapon box, Qin Lun’s attention was completely attracted by the other Thorn Crown.
Saint Thorn Crown (Unique World Treasure)
Quality: Legendary Tier 3
Material: Holy Thorn
Weight: 120g
Weapon Soul: Sacred Tree Demon
Increase All Attributes by 5 Points
Item Laws: Green Gift, Thorn Avatar, Holy Lake
Green Gift: The Green Gift Laws allow Apostle to receive feedback from nature and accelerate the restoration of energy and vitality by absorbing the life aura of the surrounding plants, increasing it to 400% from its original level.
Thorn Avatar: Apostle can create a Thorn Avatar exactly like himself by separating the Saint Thorn Crown from his body. Thorn avatar’s stats are 70% of the main body’s stats. Apart from bloodline abilities, you can also use any skill equipment of the main body (similarly limited by equipment requirements).
Holy Lake: After Apostle wears the Holy Thorn Crown, the Holy Thorn Crown will conceal itself in Apostle and create a Holy Lake of Life. The Holy Pool has a current HP or Spirit equal to Apostle’s, and can only choose one of the two. After selecting one of the items, it would take an hour for the Laws to be transposed to another item.
Equipment Description 1: Green gift is a passive ability. The Ayala Weapon Box will automatically absorb the life aura of the surrounding vegetation and feed it back to the owner.
[Equipment Description 2: Thorn is the main body of the Saint Thorn Crown. Only one Thorn can be formed at a time. The duration depends on the energy of Apostle. The cooldown time is a natural day.]
Equipment Tip: After forming the Thorn Clone, the Saint Thorn Crown has been separated from Apostle’s body, so the Saint Lake can no longer be used.
Equipment Requirement: Apostles have more than 50 Perception Points and wood element affinity to use the Green Gift and Thorn avatar. Only after possessing a high-level magic core or a high-level virtual magic net can one use the Holy Pool.
After reading the introduction of the Sacred Thorn Crown, Qin Lun was very satisfied. The Tree Demon Weapon Soul that had fused with most of its divinity and gathered together the Saint Thorn Crown’s main body actually had a Legendary Third Grade.
The green gift that Ayala’s artifact soul possessed did not disappear. Instead, it was transferred to the Sacred Thorn Crown. However, the increase in attributes was no longer a single perception and spirit. It had become a full attribute of 5 points. It did not disappoint the Legendary Third Grade’s quality.
Although he no longer had the ability to save his life, the new Holy Lake was clearly more in Qin Lun’s favor. With 1627 HP and 2273 Spirit Points, choosing HP was equivalent to having an extra life. If he chose his energy, he would have a stronger and longer-lasting skill output, comparable to a Tier 2 Magician’s magic power.
Qin Lun curiously put the emerald green thorn crown on his head, causing his scalp to feel a faint tingling pain. After putting on the Sacred Thorn Crown, the spikes on the surface of the thorn slowly pierced into his scalp, and the entire Thorn Crown began to merge into his body of Laws.
At the same time, a strange change happened to the virtual magic core in Qin Lun’s body. A circular pool appeared at the bottom. The pool contained about half of the golden liquid. The original magic core floated on the pool like a fountain statue. It slowly rotated, reflecting gorgeous colorful light. It looked beautiful.
After the Sacred Thorn Crown completely fused into Qin Lun’s body, a dark green thorn pattern appeared in the center of his seal hall. This was the first magical rune on Qin Lun’s body other than the Apostle Soul Seal on his right hand.
So far, Qin Lun had opened all four Magic Cubes he had obtained in the previous world. He had obtained a Legendary Tier 3 item, three Dark Gold equipment, a skill scroll, and a consumable item.
Apart from the Sacred Thorn Crown, which was difficult to measure, the other items combined already had a value of more than 300,000 broken crystals. It could be said that he had obtained the most from the Magic Cube in all the mission worlds.
“It’s time to go out for a walk!” Qin Lun stretched, stood up and pushed open the door.
“Master, you’re awake!” When he arrived at the living room, Qin Lun discovered that Didi was the only one in the room.
“Who went to the training ground with Frank?” Didi’s big eyes flashed, as if he had his own mind reading skill. He didn’t wait for Qin Lun to ask a question before answering directly. However, his relationship with Schiff still didn’t seem to have improved, and now he didn’t even call his name.
“By the way, Master, Lord Kelly left you a message earlier, telling you to call her back when you wake up!” Seeing that Qin Lun was a little lazy, Didi said seriously.
“Kelly? What is this woman looking for me for?” Qin Lun took the projector helplessly, feeling rather regretful in his heart. Ever since he became a lost affiliate, Kelly seems to have found a free workforce, the rhythm of using him as a mule.
