Chapter 71

"Get the gill spores!"

Sun Yuan prayed as he walked over quickly and picked up a light orb.

A few seconds later, the light dissipated, revealing a ring.

The material of the ring seemed to be made from the roots of some ancient tree, presenting a soil-like brown color. It was very unattractive and seemed to have a slight earthy smell.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the equipment: Touch of Nature.]

Sun Yuan's eyebrows raised. In the mobile game, after killing this boss, he obtained two pieces of equipment: the gill spores and the Touch of Nature.

It seemed there was no discrepancy.

He then played with the ring, a smile appearing on his face because, although the equipment's quality was not high, it was very practical.

Name: Touch of Nature Ring.

Type: All-in-one offensive and defensive accessory.

Quality: Rare.

Equipment Effect: After the ring is activated, it can summon three ancient tree roots within a fifteen-meter radius around the wearer.

The roots can be used to entangle and bind enemies, restraining them.

Can be used ten times within 24 hours.

Note: Binding is a form of art!

Sun Yuan tried on the ring, finally putting it on his left middle finger.

"It's just too ugly."

Sun Yuan sighed. For someone who was very particular about aesthetics, this ring was truly unappealing.

However, the tactical effect was genuinely strong.

Using such a movement-restricting item effectively could turn the tide of battle and lead to a surprising victory.

For example, if he were fighting other players and three ancient tree roots suddenly sprouted from the ground, entangling the opponent's legs, how could they avoid his attacks?

Although Sun Yuan had killed the boss, he remained cautious, constantly scanning his surroundings. He then approached the second light orb and picked it up.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the equipment: Gill Spores.]

It was a mushroom, about the size of a baby's fist, entirely red, with pinhole-like pores on its cap.

They were densely packed, looking quite eerie. If someone with trypophobia were to hold it, they might die on the spot.

Physiologically, Sun Yuan also felt a bit uncomfortable, but he was relieved in his heart because it was very important.

In the "Spore Invasion" version of the game, there were dozens of epic-level equipment pieces, but if Sun Yuan had to choose the most practical, he would definitely choose the gill spores.

Name: Natural Gill Spores.

Type: Healing equipment.

Quality: Dragon Slayer.

Equipment Effect: The gill spores can purify various toxic gases in the air, allowing you to breathe the purest oxygen.

Additional Special Effect: Because the gill spores occasionally shock the air, producing plasma ozone, inhaling too much at this time can cause extreme excitement and insomnia.

Note: Players wearing me will feel as if they are in nature, breathing the freshest air, no matter where or when.

Sun Yuan was very satisfied after reading the equipment description.

With the large-scale invasion of spore creatures on Earth, spore forests would grow in cities, and these species would proliferate, releasing large amounts of spore gases into the air.

At that time, the entire city would be shrouded in a green mist.

If players entered these 'polluted' areas without protective measures and inhaled the spore-laden mist, they would be infected and parasitized, becoming spore people within half an hour.

There were also many such spore mist zones in the Tower of Gods, and some monsters themselves emitted spore mists. Therefore, players needed to get a gill spore or at least a gas mask to avoid dying in the spore mist.

Of course, the most important thing was that Sun Yuan needed a gill spore to perfectly clear the Tower of Gods, which was why he had to kill the fungal giant.

If the boss dropped nothing, Sun Yuan wouldn't bother fighting it.

Sun Yuan put the gill spores into his backpack and began to clean up the battlefield. He first went to Li Minglu's corpse, which had been flattened by the fungal giant, picked up a severed arm, and removed the crossbow bolt from it.

Name: Single-Arm Crossbow Bolt.

Attribute: Close and mid-range ranged weapon.

Quality: Fine.

Equipment Effect: Ordinary iron crossbow bolt, limited damage.

Note: Ambush is my specialty.

Sun Yuan glanced at the attributes and tossed it into his backpack.

To be honest, although this weapon could surprise an enemy with a sudden shot, its quality was too low.

As a beta tester, Sun Yuan felt he should have some aspirations.

At least, he should aim to gather a full set of Dragon Slayer equipment.

For Zhen Yu's self-defense!

If she were still alive!

Sun Yuan continued to search the bodies and found a yellow ape vest, but he already had one.

Since the effects of this equipment do not stack even if worn twice, he could either give it to a team member or sell it cheaply to other players.

Sun Yuan continued his search and suddenly heard a faint groan, which made him tense up and immediately grip his Thunder Slash Blade.

Sun Yuan looked around and found that it was Zhao Caiwei who had made the noise.

"She's still alive?"

Sun Yuan immediately ran over, knelt beside her, and placed his right index and middle fingers on her neck.

She had a pulse.

"Such a tough cookie!"

Sun Yuan sighed, confirming that there were no more collectibles in the palace. He then lifted Zhao Caiwei's back with one hand and her legs with the other, carrying her in a princess carry, and walked toward the golden light curtain.

...

In the Silver Horse channel, the gods were very satisfied.

[Of course he won, feels good!]

The Just Dark Demon God sent a satisfied emoji, casually tipped a divine coin, and then added a comment: [Just not enough deaths.]

[The death rate is already high. Out of a thousand players, less than twenty are still alive. What more do you want?]

Princess of Thousand Gold commented: [Sun Yuan is too relaxed. He should be under more pressure.]

The princess originally planned to tip dog food, but upon checking her wallet, she found that the free dog food provided by the system had already been used up.

Forget it!

She would tip it tomorrow after receiving more free dog food.

[Not bad, not enough pressure from death.]

The Black Dragon Queen of Apocalypse agreed: [Game Administrator, you should increase the difficulty of the Tower of Gods.]

The latter part was clearly directed at the Silver Horse.

[Agreed]

An account with the nickname "Ashen King" spoke for the first time: [I hope he passes the trial, transforms into flames, and illuminates this dark and corrupt world.]

The Silver Horse, who was watching, couldn't help but frown at these two comments.

The difficulty was already very high, and Sun Yuan and Jin Baisnow were its top candidates. Losing one would be heartbreaking.

Of course, it wouldn't lower the difficulty out of sympathy, or it would be reported and eliminated by other horses.

Moreover, if the difficulty was too low, the gods would lose interest.

If the channel's popularity didn't rise, the Silver Horse would introduce a hellishly difficult Tower of Gods.

In short, the players' lives were determined by popularity. If Sun Yuan couldn't bring popularity and improve the channel's ranking in the interstellar alliance broadcasts, he could be used as cannon fodder.

Speaking of which, you all seem very satisfied with the comments, but why aren't you tipping?

You're not all as stingy as the Princess of Thousand Gold, are you?

[The Black Dragon Queen of Apocalypse tips Sun Yuan a divine coin.]

[The Black Dragon Queen of Apocalypse leaves the channel.]

[Ashen King leaves the channel.]

[The Pure Saintess leaves the channel.]

The Silver Horse was anxious as it watched the three gods leave, especially the Pure Saintess, who seemed to appreciate Sun Yuan.

The third game was about to start, so why didn't she continue watching?

Was it because Sun Yuan killed other players, angering the saintess?

However, the divine coins were in the gods' pockets, and the Silver Horse couldn't do anything if they didn't tip. It could only pray that Sun Yuan's performance would be excellent enough to win them over.

...

After Sun Yuan passed through the golden light curtain, his hands felt lighter.

Because Zhao Caiwei was gone.

Sun Yuan frowned and looked around.

What he saw were enormous primitive spores, as large as ancient trees, towering and blocking the sunlight, making the place cold, damp, and oppressive.

The wind blew, and the dampness spread.

Sun Yuan felt like he was about to mold.

Ding.

[You have a system announcement and two new tip notifications. Please check them promptly!]
