Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

"Drip drip..."

As soon as the announcement ended, Su Mubai noticed his communicator ringing urgently.

The number of friend requests instantly jumped from zero to 999+.

He had anticipated this, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"Reject all."

With a thought, Su Mubai rejected all friend requests and also set his account to not allow people to add him as a friend through search.

Compared to these people, he was more concerned about the rewards that the system had just distributed.

With a wave of his hand, Su Mubai summoned two new skeletons and continued exploring while controlling the skeleton army, all the while opening his backpack.

Immediately afterwards, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.

The Soul Stone's effect was exactly as he had imagined!

[Basic Soul Stone]

special items

After absorption, it will increase lifespan by thirty days.

Note: Whether you put the basic Soul Stone in your backpack or warehouse, you will lose one-tenth of it when you die, with a minimum loss of three days.

"Is this the item that can extend lifespan?"

The primary life-soul stone is perfectly round, only the size of an infant's fist, and emits a soft white light.

Lifespan is Su Mubai's biggest concern.

He thought it would be difficult to find such treasures in the early stages, but he didn't expect to get them so easily!

I only killed the Misty Tree Python King, and I was rewarded with 6 low-level Life Soul Stones.

That's a full six months' lifespan!

If the wealthy and powerful people of the original Blue Star knew about this, who knows how crazy they would go.

However, nowadays everyone is time-traveling, and times have changed.

Those people in the multiverse game are just ordinary players.

Those who can obtain Soul Stones in the early stages of the game are undoubtedly the most powerful beings in each starting village.

“For me, this is more than just six months of life.”

Looking at the primary life soul stone in his hand, Su Mubai's lips curled up slightly.

[Catastrophe!]

[Target: Basic Soul Stone]

[Hint: Please select the promotion rank: Tier 1/Tier 2/Tier 3.]

"Second level."

Although Su Mubai knew he definitely didn't have enough money, he still wanted to give it a try since he had just received a huge sum of 6 gold coins.

What if?

[Note: Upgrading a basic Soul Stone requires a total of 10,000 Soul Coins.]

Insufficient resources led to failure in the refinement process.

Okay, whatever.

Gold coins aren't even qualified to be upgraded to Soul Stones.

"Soul Coins?"

Looking at the system notification, Su Mubai murmured, "A more advanced currency?"

Unless a system announcement is triggered, you can forget about getting this in the newbie village.

Su Mubai smiled and shook his head. With a thought, he activated [Catastrophe] again.

This time, he chose to upgrade the Soul Stone in his hand to the next level.

Having witnessed the precedent of copper coins being upgraded to ancient bronze coins, he dared not directly upgrade all the primary life soul stones.

If something really goes wrong, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.

[Prompt: Confirm whether to upgrade a basic Soul Stone to the next tier without consuming any resources?]

【confirm】

【Cancel】

"confirm."

You have obtained a mid-grade Soul Stone.

[Intermediate Soul Stone]

special items

After absorption, it will increase lifespan by 120 days.

Note: Whether you put the intermediate-level Soul Stone in your backpack or warehouse, you will lose one-tenth of it when you die, with a minimum loss of twelve days.

As can be seen from the two levels of Soul Stones, when a player dies, they not only lose one-tenth of their lifespan, but also one-tenth of their Soul Stones.

"The pleasure of getting something for free is simply addictive."

Following the same example, Su Mubai upgraded all five remaining primary life soul stones in his backpack to intermediate level.

However, he didn't rush to absorb it, but instead planned to keep it for later.

Six intermediate-level life stones can only increase lifespan by two years, still not reaching ten years or more.

Even if he absorbs it all, he still won't be able to withstand a single death penalty after leaving the starting village.

It's better to save it for now.

What if we acquire enough Soul Coins within this year to upgrade these Soul Stones to the next level?

clack clack...

The sound of bones clashing drew near, and several skeletons approached, carrying items dropped by the Misty Tree Python King.

With Hell difficulty and a first kill, the Misty Tree Python King generously dropped a bunch of items.

Aside from the system rewards, this was the first time Su Mubai had ever seen a monster directly drop silver coins.

And it was a full thirty silver coins!

In addition, the Misty Tree Python King also dropped five pieces of equipment and two skill books.

Four of the items are silver-grade equipment, and the other is a backpack.

The rest are some materials that can be used for secondary production and processing.

After a cursory glance, Su Mubai waved his hand and upgraded everything.

【Reinforced Snakeskin Bag】: Contains 100 compartments.

[Highly Poisonous Ring]

Rings and jewelry

5 level

Gold

Durability 100/100

Spell Power +30

Agility+10

Spirit +10

Spell skills have a certain chance to inflict 150 points of poison damage, and can be triggered at most once every 10 seconds.

(If you can't beat them, poison them!)

Each player can equip five backpacks. After Su Mubai equips the [Reinforced Snakeskin Bag], his storage space is expanded to 150 slots.

Items like Soul Stones can be stacked up to 100 per slot.

For the time being, the backpack should be enough.

Apart from the [Poison Ring], the other three pieces of equipment were all physical damage items, which Su Mubai simply tossed into his backpack.

Once the dungeon is cleared, sell all the items you don't need.

As for the two skill books, they were only D-grade before the promotion.

The Misty Tree Python King is a Silver-level BOSS.

Its drop rate shows that high-level skills are not easy to obtain in the game.

Players who awaken advanced talents at the start of the game do have a significant advantage in the early stages.

Unfortunately, neither of the two skill books was for necromancers. Su Mubai pursed his lips and tossed the skill books into his backpack.

Just as he was about to summon the skeleton again, he suddenly froze.

Upon seeing the skill "Summon Skeletons," Su Mubai's mind stirred.

[Catastrophe]

Objective: Summon skeletons

[Hint: Please select the promotion rank: Tier 1/Tier 2/Tier 3.]

"Second level."

[Hint: Confirm that you wish to spend 5 gold coins to overwrite the previous promotion effect and upgrade the skill "Summon Little Skeletons" to a higher tier.]

"That's really expensive."

Looking at the price of 5 gold coins, Su Mubai frowned.

He suddenly regretted those two skill books he had acquired before his promotion.

Summoning skeletons is an F-rank skill, and even after being upgraded, it's only a D-rank skill.

Even so, it still takes a full 5 gold coins.

Those two skill books you just learned will be C-level skills after you upgrade them. Where can players afford to buy those now?

If we sell at a low price, wouldn't we suffer a huge loss?

The game doesn't care if players don't have money in the early stages; in its rules, upgrading an F-level skill requires that much money.

"Money can be earned back after it's spent."

Gritting his teeth, Su Mubai chose to confirm.

With the [Cataclysmic] talent, making money is a piece of cake for him.

The skill of summoning skeletons almost represents all of his current combat power.

With enough gold coins, it's time to upgrade.

The next moment, the icon for summoning skeletons in the skill bar changed.
