Franklin and Cacus together contributed a total of 2,000 gold coins to Su Mubai.
However, gold coins could only be considered the least valuable among the items they dropped.
Perhaps because Franklin was a magic-type boss, the attribute gems he dropped were mostly related to spirit.
This could be considered good news for Su Mubai.
Yet, what he cared about the most were the remaining items.
After the piles of gold coins were collected, three final items remained on the ground.
Aside from the pitch-black staff and the exquisite skill book Su Mubai had initially spotted, there was also a pair of ice-blue trousers.
"I can finally replace these verdant trousers."
Su Mubai felt a mild surge of joy. The pants he was currently wearing were still ordinary equipment dropped by minor monsters in the Misty Forest.
The only downside to leveling up too quickly was that equipment failed to keep pace with his progress.
He had originally planned to find a shop in the city to buy a set and make do with it after completing his promotion.
However, the trial assigned by Situ Ji left Su Mubai with no time to prepare.
Nevertheless, it had no significant impact, as low-level equipment offered very little enhancement to Su Mubai anyway.
His greatest boosts still came from the [Death Codex] and a few pieces of equipment of Epic grade or higher.
Furthermore, in the game of Myriad Realms, equipment of Epic grade or higher would automatically scale its base stats every 5 levels in accordance with the player's level.
Therefore, equipment of Epic grade and above offered the best cost-effectiveness for Su Mubai.
[You have obtained Epic Item "Ice-Blue Magic Trousers".]
[You have obtained Epic Item "Forgotten Staff".]
[You have obtained Grade A Skill Book "Summon Shadow Knight".]
"It's a pity that Death Wither didn't drop."
Su Mubai felt a trace of regret; he had somewhat coveted Franklin's ultimate move.
As an AOE skill, both its prestige and its effect looked vastly superior to [Advanced Corpse Explosion].
Even so, he was already thoroughly satisfied with the bountiful rewards from this quest.
Cacus had contributed a mount, and having been exploited twice by Su Mubai, he directly yielded a mythological-grade mount.
Franklin was no slouch either; counting the [Crown of Curses], this fellow had also contributed three pieces of Epic equipment.
Upon his death, the equipment requirements for the [Crown of Curses] had changed as well, becoming similar to those of the [Whispering Death Robe].
Even the equipment level requirement had been elevated from Level 10-120 to Level 10-200.
The skill [Summon Shadow Knight] was also quite impressive, further enriching the variety of troops Su Mubai could summon.
This troop type was even more suited to acting as a tank than the Skeleton Warriors.
For some reason, the two pieces of equipment dropped by Franklin did not require appraisal.
Still, this was hardly a bad thing, and Su Mubai did not dwell on it.
Glancing briefly at the requirements and general stats of the two new pieces of equipment, a thought stirred in his mind, and he immediately initiated his ability.
[Cataclysm]!
[Target: Ice-Blue Magic Trousers.]
"Ascend by one tier."
[You have obtained Legendary Item "Frost Guard".]
[Frost Guard]
Trousers · Cloth Armor

1. [Frost Guard]: Active skill. Condenses frost energy to encase oneself in ice, entering a brief state of relative invulnerability.
Instant cast, lasting up to 10 seconds, cooldown 10 minutes.
*(Frost Guard, worthy of trust.)*
Observing the luxurious attributes of [Frost Guard], a flash of delight crossed Su Mubai's eyes.
Although this Legendary equipment came with only a single skill, it was the extraordinarily rare invulnerability skill!
While it was only relative invulnerability, it could still save his life at a critical juncture.
According to the information provided by Myriad Realms, the Land of God's Prohibition contained no skills that granted absolute invulnerability.
The limit of the invulnerability skill [Frost Guard] was that it could perfectly withstand the full-force attack of a Level 200 Legendary creature.
If the attack far exceeded this threshold, [Frost Guard] ran the risk of being shattered; the greater the excess, the faster it would break.
However, Su Mubai was only Level 20; this skill would be more than sufficient for quite some time.
Replacing the [Verdant Trousers] directly with [Frost Guard], Su Mubai then turned his gaze toward the [Forgotten Staff].
This was a weapon wielded by a Lich, and it was undoubtedly far more suited to Su Mubai than the [Withered Wood Staff].
[Cataclysm]!
[Target: Forgotten Staff]!
"Ascend by one tier."
[You have obtained Legendary Item "Lament of the Forgotten".]

*(Oblivion is the most thorough liberation.)*
"Summon Space +50!!!"
Su Mubai's attention was instantly captured by this affix, and his excitement was clearly written all over his face.
In the game of Myriad Realms, additions and subtractions were calculated before percentages.
This meant that this single attribute alone would increase the size of Su Mubai's skeleton legion by 1,000!
With this affix present, the other attributes no longer mattered.
Even if this staff provided nothing else, Su Mubai would have equipped it without a moment's hesitation!
The only thing worth noting was the equipment requirement for [Lament of the Forgotten].
"Advanced Hidden Class?"
This was yet another entirely new term, and Su Mubai involuntarily stroked his chin.
It seemed hidden classes had tiers as well.
He just wondered how they were specifically graded; was his exclusive hidden class, [Lord of Death], the highest tier?
When the game of Myriad Realms descended, although it provided a massive amount of basic data and information, there was still a vast amount of content that players needed to discover on their own within the game.
Su Mubai mentally noted this information and then equipped the staff that suited him far better.
As for the [Withered Wood Staff], it could naturally retire.
"Lastly, it's your turn."
Fixing his gaze on the skill book, Su Mubai's eyes gleamed with sharp focus.
Compared to equipment, the value of high-grade skills was clearly much higher.
[Cataclysm]!
