Chapter 276 The Ring of Thorns



To explain Gu Xinghe's situation in the simplest terms—

That is, his head hurts, and his muscles and nerves all over his body also hurt.

The former was mainly due to some kind of spiritual corruption he suffered at the hands of the Goddess of Thorns.

The effects included, but were not limited to, his rapidly declining sanity.

And now, the world in his eyes is a blurry, flowing mass of colors.

The latter was mainly caused by the game system forcibly breaking the spatial blockade and performing an unstable spatial teleportation on him.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe tried to take out a recovery potion from his storage space.

Just as he had guessed, after drinking the potion...

Gu Xinghe did not feel that his injuries were healing faster than usual.

Although I still feel pain all over my body, my perspective has become somewhat strange.

Under these circumstances, Gu Xinghe could barely manage to find that it was still within a tolerable range.

So, he looked at his player panel, wanting to see the data more clearly.

Just like the mark he had previously observed the Thorn Goddess had left on him.

At this moment, he was also able to "see" the panel in front of him quite easily.

This seems to provide further evidence to support his previous speculation that the Goddess of Thorns and the game system are of the same kind.

[Player: Gu Xinghe]

Game ID: 0628

Strength: (46.3) → 100.9

[Constitution: (47.5) → 103.2]

Agility: (45.7) → 101.5

[Rationality: 50/100]

【Skill】:

【Touch of the Mist [(LV.45)→LV.55], Mind Reading [(LV.45)→LV.50], Translation [LV.50], Potion Making [LV.41], Plant Blending [LV.38], Basic Swordsmanship [LV.35], Basic Mechanics [LV.35], Basic Horsemanship [LV.20], Advanced Mathematics [(LV.10)→LV.15], Teaching [(LV.1)→LV.10], Bartending [LV.2]】

In the previous "clash of domains" with the Goddess of Thorns.

Having absorbed a portion of the opponent's power, Gu Xinghe experienced a significant improvement in his basic physical attributes.

At this moment, under careful self-awareness.

Gu Xinghe even felt that what made up the internal structure of his body was no longer ordinary flesh and blood.

A certain thick, viscous substance that is neither fog nor water.

It seems to be gradually replacing his original flesh and blood, becoming the "substance" that makes up the basic structure of his current body.

Meanwhile, Gu Xinghe could see that the new skills he had learned at St. George's University—his teaching skills had been upgraded.

After a week of teaching practice by Gu Xinghe, this skill has been upgraded from LV.1 to LV.10.

Gu Xinghe felt a little regretful about this.

After all, his bartending skills have once again become the worst.

After Gu Xinghe finished browsing his player panel...

He looked again at the warning he had overlooked in the emergency—

Congratulations to the player for clearing the dungeon - St. George's University!

[Dungeon rewards are being settled]

Main Quest: 1/1

Side Quest: 3/3

[Quest completion rewards received: St. George's University faculty base salary (already issued), Radiant Badge (already issued), Doom Potion (already issued), Thorn Ring - Copy [Side Quest 1 and 2 rewards have been combined], Eye of Truth - Original]

Just by looking at the mission rewards, Gu Xinghe knew that this was the most generous reward he had ever received since clearing the game dungeon.

There are already three rewards for completing the main quest alone.

This is perhaps to comfort or reassure the professors who came to apply for teaching positions.

Principal Holmes would give each mathematics professor their "week's pay" on their sixth day of service.

So even before Gu Xinghe had completed the main quest assigned by the system, he had already received the reward.

The Radiant Badge and the Doom Potion can actually be considered "unique products" of the Thorn Cult.

Gu Xinghe had also obtained such items through Teresa.

However, Gu Xinghe did not obtain the "certificate of appointment" that the game system initially marked in the dungeon mission.

As the name suggests, this certificate is usually issued in special circumstances such as when a college professor leaves his post.

However, if the condition is normal resignation, Gu Xinghe thinks that perhaps no mathematics professor would obtain this proof.

Then, he looked at the Thorn Ring (replica) and the Eye of Truth (original), which were rewards from the side quest.

Although it is called a "ring", the design of the Ring of Thorns actually looks more like a crown.

The protruding spikes grew rampantly on the circular, ring-shaped crown.

This is a manifestation of the essence of suffering and calamity, and a terrifying curse for the wearer.

Upon seeing it, Gu Xinghe guessed that this might be part of the essence of the opponent's rules when the game system fought against the Goddess of Thorns.

Then, Gu Xinghe began to examine the Eye of Truth.

In retrospect, it seems that he orchestrated the death of that giant eyeball.

This can be seen from the fact that the remains provided by the giant eyeball are original.
