The Demon-Sealing Slash is incredibly convenient for clearing out elite monsters with a bit more health.
A single sword strike can deal over 100,000 damage.
Even a fourth-tier elite monster couldn't withstand a single blow from Su Bai.
The battle ended in an instant.
After some trial and error.
Underneath the monster's corpse, Su Bai found a finely crafted silver carving knife, a half-rotten heart, and a tattered book.
【A Bloodstained Engraving Knife (Invisible)】
【tool】
[Level: Rare]
[Level: 25]
[Effect: +15% carving success rate, -30% mana cost, when carving puppet-type items, there is a 1% chance that the finished product will have the 'Substitute Death' trait.]
【Substitute: Passive - When taking a fatal attack, the damage received can be transferred to a puppet with the 'Substitute' trait】
[Invisible: This item's durability cannot be repaired]
[Durability: 360/360]
[Note: Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A... I have thirty lives!]
[Requirements: Rune Carver/Enchanter/Array Master/Alchemist]
...
This carving knife doesn't provide as much of a base bonus to the rune carver's skill as the one he's currently using.
But it possesses an extremely precious characteristic.
Create a substitute puppet.
Unfortunately, the 'invisible' equipment suffix limits the effectiveness of this item.
Otherwise, it would be even more monstrous than a divine artifact.
In the game, there is a very small chance that equipment will randomly have additional suffixes when it drops.
Suffix entries usually provide additional attribute bonuses.
But correspondingly.
It will also reduce the base stats of equipment/items.
Moreover, suffix entries mostly appear only on individual equipment pieces and special items.
It will not appear in the set.
A small number of equipment/items will always have a certain suffix attribute attached when they drop.
This carving knife is one of them.
Irreparable.
This means that its effectiveness has been significantly reduced.
The probability of a carving knife successfully creating a substitute puppet is only 1%. Given the durability limitations, it's considered lucky if a carving knife can successfully create even one substitute puppet.
but.
Making even one would be a huge profit.
Later on, these substitute death items became incredibly expensive and extremely rare; most people couldn't even buy them...
The Puppeteer's Rotting Heart
【Props】
[Level: Inheritance]
[Note: After use, you will receive an exclusive job change quest for the hidden class - Puppeteer. After completing the quest, you can change jobs. This class is characterized by survivability, control, and agility.]
[Requirement: None]
...
The first kill was very lucky.
Perhaps it was influenced by the good fortune that Su Siyao exuded.
This kill not only yielded a carving knife with an extremely low drop rate, but also a hidden class change item.
Puppeteer...
Su Bai didn't recall ever hearing of anyone who was particularly good at it.
That's right, this profession isn't the only hidden one. Like the Berserker Orc, it's a semi-public special profession, and it seems there's more than one way to change to it.
However, the Puppeteer's class strength is only average compared to other classes.
Its main characteristic is its flexibility and versatility.
The operational limit is very high.
However, top players who can reach its full potential usually have their own career plans and may not be willing to gamble their entire future to practice such a skill.
So its positioning is rather awkward.
Of course, items that are associated with the word "hidden" can still fetch a good price at this stage.
The Puppet Repair Manual
【Props】
[Level: Excellent]
[Note: This is a crafting manual on how to repair puppets. Reading it will increase your 'Puppet Crafting' skill proficiency by 3000 points and unlock the crafting methods for 'Rotten Puppet' and 'Performance Puppet'.]
...
This puppet experience book was originally Su Bai's target... but the former two are rarer and more precious, and he didn't expect to get it in one go.
Puppet creation is an exclusive skill of mechanical alchemists, one of the two major branches of alchemy.
By the way.
Another branch of alchemy is potion making.
However, compared to potion masters, mechanics are the 'orthodox alchemists' recognized by the vast majority of people.
This lineage originates from the ancient Titans, who created the most advanced mechanical civilization in the world. However, according to legend, their technology ultimately violated a taboo and was erased by the world's rules. All the Titans vanished without a trace overnight.
Along with the civilization they created.
Today, the remaining traces of its civilization are merely the tip of the iceberg of its glorious past.
However, even so, the Titans' heritage played a significant role in enabling this world to develop such a strange technology tree as 'magic technology'.
Mechanics have been active in every important period of human history.
Magical weapons
War Colossus
Ocean-going warships...
These marvels, capable of changing the course of the world, were all created by mechanics.
It is conceivable that
How crucial their impact on the world is.
...Su Bai wasn't thinking far ahead at the moment; he was only interested in the two puppet-making blueprints that came with the experience book.
Especially the latter.
Performing puppets.
Those were the freaks who were performing on stage just now.
If he could make a few performance puppets, he could simply place them in the theater and let them perform on stage whenever he entered the Lost City again.
And all the performance rewards the puppet receives will be credited to him.
He won't waste much exploration time.
You can get another reward for free.
It was undoubtedly a huge profit.
However, after actually obtaining the book of experience, Su Bai suddenly noticed the former.
Rotten puppet...
The description states that this item is made from corpses.
In that case, it shouldn't be affected by the death aura from the east, right? Wouldn't that make it a top-tier mining tool?!
"An unexpected bonus."
Su Bai was delighted.
There were a few resource points in the warehouse, but none of them contained anything particularly rare. He didn't waste time searching them—the various limbs and organs in the warehouse were all just ordinary goods, and the special merchants in the cemetery were too lazy to recycle them, so there was no need to take them.
Return to the meeting point.
Nine Lives and Inkfish had already come out a step ahead.
Su Bai didn't ask about their haul. The theater's men's and women's dressing rooms didn't have anything particularly good. They mainly produced costumes for various performances, but the quality wasn't as good as those in the wealthy area.
There was a valuable treasure hidden inside that secret door.
Not long after.
Ning Hongchen and Su Siyao's search yielded results.
The two women each held a trombone and a violin, like musicians preparing to perform.
"Hey, this is really something! This instrument can even have special effects. Shall I play a piece for you?"
Ning Hongchen said happily.
