The latest broadcast announced that tomorrow marks the 515 event, the day with the most benefits. In addition to gift bags, this year's "515 Red Envelope Frenzy" is definitely something to watch out for. Who wouldn't want to grab a Red Envelope? Set your alarms!
Wandering pointed to the first treasure, a bronze ring emitting a faint purple glow. "This is called the Mel Ring, suitable for Mi Xiaonan. I won't go into details about its principles, but its function is to reduce energy depletion. For example, after you use Thunderstorm, Mi Xiaonan, your Force conversion to Chakra loses about seventy to eighty percent of its energy. You need to continue converting Force into Chakra. With this ring, you can lower your Chakra consumption. I initially wanted to introduce the next item, but seeing your expressions, it seems you have no interest in it, so never mind."
"Thank you, senior." Mi Xiaonan eagerly reached for it. Cui Ming commented that although a Doran Ring might not be very useful, it was beautiful and looked great on a practitioner—much better than wearing a diamond or platinum ring.
Wandering placed a hand on Mi Xiaonan's wrist. "Choose one of three; this isn't a giveaway. Your expectations are too high."
Mi Xiaonan reluctantly withdrew her hand.
Wandering then pointed to the second item, a bracelet made of beads resembling amber. "This is called the Catalyst Bracelet, and the beads are known as Catalyst Stones. This bracelet is suitable for Ding Ze; it can accelerate the conversion of Force into energy. It's quite an excellent item and will allow your Force to continuously transform into energy. This was originally my treasure for twenty years, but it no longer serves me."
Cui Ming asked curiously, "Why not?"
Wandering smiled as Li Qing answered for him. "Because the senior's Force capacity and regeneration ability have already reached their peak; he can't use it all up and only wishes he could consume more due to his limited physical capacity." Wandering's body resembled a reservoir, but due to human limitations, he could only utilize a faucet's worth of water. Thus, he could never exhaust the reservoir's supply, rendering the bracelet meaningless for him. However, for someone like Ding Ze—an attacking powerhouse with insufficient Force capacity and recovery ability—it would be considered a top-tier treasure. Mi Xiaonan wouldn't benefit from it either since she needed to convert Chakra; her Chakra capacity was fixed and grew slowly over time. Her goal was to exhaust her Chakra completely. As for Cui Ming and others like Li Qing and Beiyue, they had no concept of Force depletion unless they were injured; it simply wasn't part of their understanding.
Wandering turned his attention to the third treasure—a bow-shaped talisman. He gazed at it for a while, clearly lost in memories. Cui Ming chimed in, "Senior, if you can't hold back any longer, just say it; we’d like to hear."
"Mind your own business." Wandering snapped back from his reverie and shot a discontented glance at Cui Ming before continuing his introduction. "This talisman was left by my teacher. Although he only taught me the basics, I hold immense respect for him. You might not know his name, but you certainly know his nickname—he's known as the Arrow God in the Honor Hall of the Alliance."
Everyone nodded in recognition; they all knew who Arrow God was. He had accomplished one monumental feat: killing a Dark Flame Dragon. At that time, there was a crisis when a talented summoner with malicious intent summoned this powerful creature from a hellish planet—the Dark Flame Dragon appeared above Hero City. Only three individuals remained in Hero City at that moment, one of whom was Arrow God. After hours of battle, Arrow God managed to slay the dragon; however, no one knew how it happened because the other two had perished and Arrow God had been rendered unconscious during the fight. Upon discovering the dragon's corpse, various injuries inflicted by Arrow God were found alongside evidence that the other two had been average fighters; thus, credit naturally went to Arrow God as one of the three greatest masters at that time.
As dark flames slowly eroded Arrow God's body while he fought against them with his Force, he eventually regained consciousness but chose not to recount how he killed the Dark Flame Dragon. Instead, he entrusted his treasure to Wandering—who was under eighteen—tasking him with finding an upright and brave owner for it because he had promised those who gifted him treasures that they would be passed down.
Arrow God died at just thirty-five years old—a tragic early demise—and could be considered one of the most promising practitioners in a century; unfortunately, he gained fame early but also met an early end.
"Wandering Path" said, "This amulet is incredibly powerful; its name is 'Light Whisper.' It has only one function: it can cut through the protective 'Force' of weapons like 'Beiyue's Greatsword,' dealing significant damage to the target. No matter how strong the opponent's 'Force' or protective 'Force' is, it can break through, even against dragons. The only limitation is that it only aids enhancement-type or physical weapons; it offers no help to practitioners of the 'Magic System' who use energy." Unfortunately, Wei Wei is of the 'Transformational System,' and if her bow fell into Fanxi's hands, it could be described as terrifying.
Cui Ming and Li Qing both said, "This one." Upon hearing about the three treasures, it was clear that 'Light Whisper' was the most valuable. Its worth was immeasurable, certainly a top-tier treasure, even making Ding Ze's 'Mysterious Amulet' seem insignificant in comparison. No wonder the Arrow God could slay the Dark Flame Dragon; after all, the Dark Flame Dragon was nearly immune to both magic and physical attacks, an invincible existence.
Wandering looked at Beiyue, who nodded and asked, "Enhancement type?"
"Yes," Wandering Path replied. "You're the only one here who can use it."
Beiyue turned to Cui Ming. "Cui Ming is also enhancement type and not lacking at all."
Wandering was taken aback and quickly said, "No, Cui Ming won't do. Not to mention that Poker cards are ordinary items with poor effectiveness against breaking protective 'Force.' Just look at Cui Ming's character; there's no sign of integrity or kindness."
Beiyue countered, "I disagree with that. Although Cui Ming has some cunning strategies, it doesn't define his character. I haven't known him for very long, but it's definitely not short either. Cui Ming is a person with principles. If you say he isn't kind, please provide an example. On the contrary, when I traveled to the Eastern Continent with Cui Ming, he showed kindness in how he treated others. He has never killed indiscriminately or acted rudely towards ordinary people. Even during tough economic times, he only went to the casino as a card king and made a few thousand dollars because he knew that Dawn City had strict laws where bad people ended up in jail—there were no extortionists to worry about. As for integrity, I won't deny that Cui Ming has his own interests at heart; he cares more about his friends and family than about alliances or city-states."
Li Qing added, "Integrity depends on your perspective. When we encountered the Pirate King at sea, Cui Ming's bottom line was that if the pirates spared the escorters, he would consider not taking action."
Cui Ming hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, mainly I understood Wei Wei's bottom line. If she fought back, we couldn't just stand by and watch; hence we set a bottom line. Moreover, 'Light Whisper' is definitely a treasure; Beiyue, if you take it, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for you while for me it would just be adding frost on snow."
Beiyue shook his head. "No, if there are rewards for champions, they should go to you. Whether I'm the captain or a boss, fair rewards and punishments for team members are fundamental. Everyone put in effort to achieve victory; however, I believe that your contributions are the greatest and you deserve it."
Ding Ze and the other three completely agreed with this point. In terms of strength alone, the Fire Cult would be unable to compete; they wouldn't even pass Ding Family's threshold. However, giving this treasure to Cui Ming felt like wasting a precious gem.
Wandering sighed. "Actually among the five of you, Cui Ming is the most suitable master for 'Light Whisper,' not Beiyue. In your normal state, Beiyue can strike a powerful blow every three seconds; however, 'Light Whisper' has nothing to do with your attack power but is proportional to your attack speed. Each time an attack hits an opponent's protective 'Force,' it will tear through it and deal some damage to their body. But Cui Ming is merely the most suitable among you five; he isn't necessarily the best master—the best master would be Leopard Woman. With her deadly penetration combined with 'Light Whisper,' it would be quite terrifying. Cui Ming's Poker cards are ultimately too ordinary; even with 'Light Whisper' helping him, he cannot inflict fatal damage on opponents. Simply put, Cui Ming can only cause superficial wounds and make them bleed without achieving a one-hit kill tactical goal."
Ding Ze laughed and said, "Senior, your words are quite contradictory. On one hand you say 'Light Whisper' has nothing to do with power but relates to speed; on the other hand you say Cui Ming's Poker cards are too ordinary. So what exactly is 'Light Whisper's' function—related to power or speed? If it's speed, then Cui Ming is definitely the first choice; his card-throwing speed surpasses that of any sharpshooter."
"But he's short," said Wandering Path. "The flying cards can only travel a little over thirty meters. Look at the Competition Match; fifty meters is the standard, and all the Archers have reached or exceeded that. Even Ding Tai's throat-cutting teleportation has a range of thirty meters, while your Ding Ze's teleportation has reached over forty meters."
Mi Xiaonan replied, "My friend Mi Big Head said that Cui Ming's flying card doesn't travel far enough not because of a lack of control over power, but due to the characteristics of the Poker cards themselves. Mi Big Head calculated that the main reason for the interference distance is the thickness and smoothness of the Poker cards. He has promised to make a batch of the most professional flying cards for Cui Ming, ensuring they weigh the same as regular cards, are as smooth and flat as one, and have only one-third the thickness of ordinary cards."
Wandering looked at Mi Xiaonan for a long time before turning to Cui Ming. "Hey, it's time to be humble and polite."
"We're brothers. They encouraged me to enjoy a feast, and I won't refuse. We don't need to be modest; we will give things to those who are most suitable. Originally, I wanted to take it down and pass it on to Beiyue. But now that you mention it, Light Whisper is truly a treasure tailored for me; I can't refuse it without feeling guilty towards them."
Wandering Path said, "Alright, let's discuss the issue of virtue again."
Li Qing expressed dissatisfaction, "Senior, Cui Ming has helped you a lot; how can you say that? He's already brought it out."
Mi Xiaonan added, "Exactly, you're the number one hero in the alliance."
Beiyue said, "Senior, we don't want to deceive you; otherwise, I would have taken Light Whisper first and then given it to Cui Ming."
Wandering hesitated for a long time before looking at Cui Ming. "You must guarantee that you will pass Light Whisper on to someone virtuous—definitely not someone like you."
"I agree." Reputation means nothing now; there's no need for further explanation. Cui Ming reached out, but Wandering pressed his hand down. After much hesitation, he finally let go and said, "In a meditative state, contact with the treasure for one to two days will allow you to familiarize yourself with it before you can use it. It belongs to the enhancement-type treasures and doesn't require much exploration."
