"Beep beep beep..."
As soon as the announcement ended, Su Mubai noticed his communicator ringing urgently.
The friend request section instantly skyrocketed from zero to 999+.
He had expected this, just not so quickly.
"Reject all."
With a thought, Su Mubai directly rejected all friend requests and set it so he couldn't be added through search.
Compared to these people, he was more interested in the rewards just issued by the system.
Waving his hand to summon two new skeletons, Su Mubai controlled his skeleton army to continue exploring while opening his backpack.
Immediately, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
The function of the Life Soul Stone was just as he imagined!
[Primary Life Soul Stone]
Special Item
Absorbing it will increase lifespan by thirty days.
Note: Whether you store the Primary Life Soul Stone in your backpack or warehouse, it will lose one-tenth upon your death, with a minimum loss of three days.
"So this is the item that can increase lifespan?"
The Primary Life Soul Stone was perfectly round, only the size of a baby's fist, emitting a gentle white glow.
Lifespan was Su Mubai's biggest concern.
He thought it would be difficult to find such treasures early on, but he got them so easily!
Just by solo-killing the Mist Candoia King, he was rewarded with six Primary Life Soul Stones.
That's a whole six months of life!
If the wealthy and powerful from the original Blue Star knew about this, they would go crazy.
But now, with everyone crossing over, the times have changed.
In the Game of Myriad Worlds, those people are just ordinary players.
In the early stages of the game, those who can obtain Life Soul Stones are undoubtedly the most powerful in each Newbie 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 into a smile.
[Cataclysm!]
[Target: Primary Life Soul Stone]
[Prompt: Please choose the promotion tier, Tier 1/Tier 2/Tier 3.]
"Tier 2."
Although Su Mubai knew he didn't have enough money, he still wanted to try after just acquiring a fortune of 6 Gold Coins.
What if?
[Prompt: Sublimating one Primary Life Soul Stone requires a total of 10,000 Soul Coins.]
[Insufficient resources, sublimation failed.]
Well, no "what if."
Gold Coins don't even qualify for promoting a Life Soul Stone.
"Soul Coins?"
Looking at the system prompt, Su Mubai murmured, "A more advanced currency?"
Such things are not to be considered in the Newbie Village unless a system announcement is triggered.
Su Mubai shook his head with a smile, and with a thought, activated [Cataclysm] again.
This time, he chose to promote the Life Soul Stone in his hand to Tier 1.
With the precedent of Copper Coins being promoted to Bronze Coins, he dared not promote all the Primary Life Soul Stones at once.
If something went wrong, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
[Prompt: Confirm promotion of one Primary Life Soul Stone to Tier 1 without cost.]
[Confirm]
[Cancel]
"Confirm."
[You have obtained a Mid-level Life Soul Stone.]
[Mid-level Life Soul Stone]
Special Item
Absorbing it will increase lifespan by 120 days.
Note: Whether you store the Mid-level Life Soul Stone in your backpack or warehouse, it will lose one-tenth upon your death, with a minimum loss of twelve days.
From the two levels of Life Soul Stones, it's clear that upon a player's death, not only do they lose one-tenth of their lifespan, but also one-tenth of their Life Soul Stones.
"The joy of getting free stuff is truly addictive."
Following the same pattern, Su Mubai promoted the remaining five Primary Life Soul Stones in his backpack to Mid-level.
However, he didn't rush to absorb them, planning to save them for later.
Six Mid-level Life Soul Stones only add up to two years of life, still not reaching over ten years.
Even if he absorbed them all, he wouldn't withstand a death penalty after leaving the Newbie Village.
Better to save them for now.
What if within this year, he gains enough Soul Coins to promote these Life Soul Stones another tier?
Crack, crack, crack...
The sound of bones colliding approached as several skeletons brought forward the items dropped by the Mist Candoia King.
With Hell-level difficulty and the first kill, the Mist Candoia King generously dropped a pile of items.
Aside from the system rewards, this was the first time Su Mubai saw a monster directly drop Silver Coins.
And it was a full thirty Silver Coins!
In addition, the Mist Candoia King dropped five pieces of equipment and two Skill Books.
Four of them were Silver-grade equipment, and the other was a backpack.
The rest were materials that could be used for Secondary Profession production and processing.
After a quick glance, Su Mubai waved his hand and promoted everything once.
[Enhanced Snake Skin Bag]: Contains 100 slots.
[Venomous Ring]
Ring Accessory
Level 5
Gold Grade
Durability 100/100
Spell Power +30
Agility +10
Spirit +10
Spell skills have a certain chance to inflict 150 points of poison attribute damage, triggering at most once every 10 seconds.
(When you can't win, poison them!)
Each player can equip five backpacks, and after equipping the [Enhanced Snake Skin Bag], Su Mubai's storage space expanded to 150 slots.
Items like Life Soul Stones can stack up to 100 per slot.
In the short term, the backpack should suffice.
Besides the [Venomous Ring], the other three pieces of equipment were for the Physical Class, so Su Mubai tossed them into his backpack.
He planned to sell all the unused items after leaving the dungeon.
As for the two Skill Books, they were only D-grade before promotion.
The Mist Candoia King was a Silver-grade BOSS.
From its drops, it's clear that high-level skills in the Game of Myriad Worlds are not easy to obtain.
Players who awaken high-level talents at the start indeed have a significant early advantage.
Unfortunately, neither of the Skill Books was for a Necromancer, so Su Mubai pursed his lips and tossed them into his backpack.
Just as he was about to summon skeletons again, he suddenly paused.
Looking at the skill [Summon Skeleton], Su Mubai had a thought.
[Cataclysm]
[Target: Summon Skeleton]
[Prompt: Please choose the promotion tier, Tier 1/Tier 2/Tier 3.]
"Tier 2."
[Prompt: Confirm spending 5 Gold Coins to override the previous promotion effect and sublimate the skill "Summon Small Skeleton" to a higher tier.]
"It's really expensive."
Looking at the price of 5 Gold Coins, Su Mubai frowned.
He suddenly regretted promoting those two Skill Books earlier.
Summon Small Skeleton is an F-grade skill, and even after sublimation, it's only D-grade.
Even so, it requires a full 5 Gold Coins.
Those two Skill Books were promoted to C-grade skills; how can current players afford them?
If sold at a low price, wouldn't that be a huge loss!
The Game of Myriad Worlds doesn't care if players are broke early on; in its judgment, sublimating an F-grade skill requires this much money.
"Money can always be earned again."
Gritting his teeth, Su Mubai chose to confirm.
With the [Cataclysm] talent, making money is easy for him.
And the skill Summon Skeleton practically represents all his current combat power.
With enough Gold Coins, sublimation is a must.
The next moment, the icon for Summon Skeleton in the skill bar changed slightly.
