All in all, killing a Gold-grade Boss had given him decent rewards. First, he had obtained a large amount of EXP. Currently, Li Cheng needed to upgrade his own level by leveling up most of his troops. The difference in strength between them was massive.
Moreover, the Shadow World was a special map. There were level one trash monsters and many Mythical-grade monsters here. Hence, Li Cheng planned to level up all of his troops to their maximum levels.
The Frost Dragons, in particular, required a lot of EXP to level up. Just one Frost Dragon alone required more EXP than all of a normal Lord’s troops.
Apart from EXP and contribution points, what surprised Li Cheng the most was that his shadow points could also be amplified 10,000 times. One had to know that for such a large-scale event, his points could also be exchanged for many top-tier equipment and troops.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng opened the Shadow Shop. Since he had entered the event map in advance, he naturally had to plan his journey well. Li Cheng felt that with the 10,000-times increase, he had a chance to empty the shop again. However, the previous times he did that were from the Church of Light. This time, the shop belonged to the Shadow World.
[Ding, dong! Please, select the item category!]
[1. Army type. 2. Materials. 3. Equipment. 4. Consumable items…]
Li Cheng opened up the various lists and began to look through them. The first was the army type. The most trashy among them were the level two Ghost soldiers, an ordinary close combat type of soldier that did not have any special features.
However, Li Cheng saw something special. In the last column of the low-level Ghost, he discovered a message.
[Low-level Ghost. Points required for exchange: 100. Remaining quantity: 120 trillion]
Li Cheng was very sure that in his previous life, he definitely did not remember there being a ‘remaining quantity’ column. On second thought, was this a hidden message? Could ordinary players see it?
The goods on the Shadow Shop were limited. Li Cheng also understood that even the most trashy military types could be exchanged online. Hence, the quantity of each item could not be infinite. The rarer the military type, the lesser the number of said type could be exchanged for. However, no one knew the exact number!
Thinking of this, Li Cheng continued browsing through the shop. Naturally, he was not interested in low-level soldiers. He scrolled down to the bottom of the army type list, looking for the most precious type of soldier.
[Level 12 Shadow Assassin. Points required for exchange: 200,000. Remaining quantity: 500,000]
[Hint: If you purchase all the Shadow Assassins in one go, you won’t obtain the soldiers. Instead, you’ll obtain the recruitment authority of that soldier type.]
When he saw the last message, Li Cheng was extremely certain that this was a hidden message. He really did not expect that the shop access that Lillian had obtained would not only allow him to open the shop at any time but would also allow him to see many extremely useful hidden messages!
The importance of the recruitment authority was needless to say. It was much more useful than the 500,000 soldiers. Although he would not be able to obtain that many soldiers in a short period of time, 500,000 soldiers would still be consumed.
It was different with the recruitment authority as it gave one the ability to continuously recruit those soldiers. In that case, accumulating 500,000 soldiers was just a matter of time.
Li Cheng knew that Shadow Assassins were an extremely powerful type of soldier. As a type of soldier that could be exchanged for during events, their attributes and skills had been publicized on the forums in his previous life. They had top-notch mobility and stealth.
If Li Cheng remembered correctly, they were a rare type of soldier that could be permanently invisible. Their attacks also had a very high critical strike bonus. Their weakness was that they were just like the other assassin soldiers—they were too fragile!
However, they were not to be underestimated. In every large-scale event in his previous life, every alliance and every guild would do their best to exchange for such a type of soldier. It was definitely not something that could be exchanged for by a single person. Naturally, no one had ever received the right to recruit those soldiers. This time, Li Cheng did not intend to let it go. What he wanted was all his!
After closing the army type interface, Li Cheng opened the equipment column. There were a lot of different types of equipment listed. The most garbage equipment at the top was naturally trash equipment. Li Cheng immediately scrolled down to the bottom of the list.
[Phantom Pearl (Mythical-grade, Tier 2). Soldier equipment, 10 billion contribution points.]
When he saw this equipment, Li Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. This name was too familiar to him. As a super large-scale event that was happening in the entire world, how could there not be powerful Mythical equipment?
The attributes of this Phantom Pearl were extremely powerful. It could also be said that it was the exclusive equipment of the Shadow Assassin. If the Shadow Assassin was equipped with this pearl, it could activate its remaining two skills.
One of the skills was that the Shadow Assassins could escape into the Shadow World, making it an invincible skill. Whenever there was danger, they could simply cross over the normal plane and escape into the Shadow World. By then, even a God could not do anything to it!
The other skill was also the most perverse one. Its effect gave the Shadow Assassins the ability to not reveal themselves when attacking. What did this mean?
This meant that one would get attacked without being able to see their opponent who was still invisible. In other words, one would not have the ability to fight back, unless it was a large-scale AOE skill that was released into the air, the only kind of attack that could pose a threat to the Shadow Assassins. However, there were not many troops that had such a skill.
Naturally, Li Cheng did not intend to let go of this equipment. Just as Li Cheng was about to buy it, a few new pieces of equipment suddenly appeared in the equipment catalog in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, but he remained calm as he looked at the items.
[Shadow Armor (Mythical-grade, Tier 1). Hero equipment, 1 trillion shadow points. Only Shadow Princess Lillian can use it.]
[Shadow Helmet (Mythical-grade, Tier 1). Hero equipment, 1 trillion shadow points. Only Shadow Princess Lillian can use it.]
[Shadow Boots (Mythical-grade, Tier 1). Hero equipment, 1 trillion shadow points. Only Shadow Princess Lillian can use it.]
[Shadow Shoulder Pads (Mythical-grade, Tier 1). Hero equipment, 1 trillion shadow points. Only Shadow Princess Lillian can use it.]
[Shadow Gloves (Mythical-grade, Tier 1). Hero equipment, 1 trillion shadow points. Only Shadow Princess Lillian can use it.]
[Hint: the above equipment are gifts prepared by the Shadow Dragon for Shadow Princess Lillian. You must buy it at the same time. If you want to buy it, you have to have the required amount of points. This is also a test from the Shadow Dragon for you!]
Looking at the information of these equipment, Li Cheng’s pupils suddenly shrank. These equipment were naturally invisible to other players, and they were actually a set of Mythical-grade equipment!
One had to know that a full set of equipment was very rare. If one managed to gather an entire set, there would be a special set effect. As for the appearance of a full Mythical-grade set, it could only be said to be abnormal. Most importantly, these equipment were exclusive to Lillian!
