Chapter 1 No Title

During the return journey, Fang Senyan and the other encountered no trouble. They arrived again at the abandoned Dubaiya village. It appeared to have just rained, as wisps of smoke still rose from the ruins where the raging fire had been extinguished. It seemed the towering flames hadn't alarmed anyone; not even a fresh footprint was left on the damp earth.

Fang Senyan immediately spotted a glint of silver where the mature Infected Type II had fallen. Overjoyed, he grabbed the key and fled back the way he came! It could be said that he fled headlong like a startled rabbit, utterly disgraced. However, in the face of such immense profit, he couldn't care less about losing face. As soon as he was safe, Fang Senyan couldn't wait to summon the treasure chest and open it. He truly needed something exciting to stimulate his flagging spirits.

"You have obtained 10,000 universal points."

"You have obtained the Dubaiya recipe: Gu Gu Ji Si. You have mastered the method of combining a red saliva grass and a green-spotted plant to create this special medicine. Gu Gu Ji Si can restore 100% of your health and remove any disease effects within 12 seconds. This medicine does not share a cooldown period with other medicines."

The following notification immediately invigorated Fang Senyan because he had finally obtained the first piece of equipment to enter the hidden world!

It was actually the huge mask from the Dubaiya Mask Priest's head that had been dropped.

Dubaiya Giant Majestic Mask
Origin: Biohazard Origin (Hidden World)
Equipment Rarity: Dark Green (Set 1/3)
Material: Striped Ebony + Peat Nipple Whip Algae + Human Blood + Mutation Dust
Attachable Devices: Gems (with *2 slots)
Equipment Position: Head
Equipment Type: Headdress
Warning: To unleash the full power of this equipment, the wearer's DNA must be analyzed and locked. Once equipped, a soul-binding effect will occur, making it impossible to trade with others.
Weight: 1250 grams
Equipment Usage Requirements: Strength must reach 30 or more, Intelligence 40 or more, Spirit 40 or more, and Basic Meditation must reach LV8.
Durability: 191/200

Equipment: Once combat occurs, this heavy, gigantic mask will become a burden in battle, reducing your movement speed to 15 points (equal to the movement speed of 15 points of Agility). If your movement speed is less than 15 points, it will be calculated according to your original movement speed.

Equipment: Because this heavy, gigantic mask has a strange power, it can greatly enhance your frontal protection, so any defensive power on your back will be reduced to 0. All damage to you will not be reduced. This effect has priority.

Equipment: Your frontal defense is additionally increased by 100%, and all attacks against you have a 60% chance to absorb half of the damage.

Equipment: The duration of your continuous damage abilities is increased by 33%, and the spirit power consumed by your continuous damage abilities is increased by 33%.

Equipment: Intelligence +3, Spirit +3, Constitution +10

Equipment: Agility reduced by 8 points.

Special Effect: Simple Dubaiya The simple craftsmanship of the Dubaiya people determines the vulnerability of this mask. If the owner receives a direct attack from an enemy, there is a 50% chance that its durability consumption will be doubled.

Special Effect: Rare. This mask comes from a hidden world and is very rare, so the materials used to repair it are very precious. If you want to maintain it in space, in addition to paying 500% of the repair fee, you must also pay one point of Merit!

Ability: Prayer. Over hundreds of years, this shield has been worshiped by the Dubaiya natives as part of their faith, so when you expend a certain amount of spirit, your prayers will be answered.

After activating Prayer, your spirit power limit will be forcibly reduced by 25%. Correspondingly, any of your abilities will gain a minimum of 2.5 seconds and a maximum of 5 seconds of additional chanting time. When the chanting time ends, the damage you deal to enemies will be increased by 25-50%, depending on the chanting time.

The spirit power limit reduced by Prayer will recover after 60 minutes. Each prayer can only give one ability a prayer bonus, and it will be invalid after release.

Set Effect: ? ? ? ? (You must obtain the remaining Dubaiya Majestic Set piece to activate this attribute.)

Set Effect: ? ? ? ? (You must obtain the complete Dubaiya Majestic Set to activate this attribute.)

Description: This is a mask that has been worshiped by the Dubaiya people for many years. It is a symbol of their status. Once you encounter enemies wearing this mask, be extra careful with them. These guys are more perverted than you can imagine.

If its original owner was not a failure who was devoured by the virus after taking the "Stairway to the Sun", had completely lost his memory and turned into another terrifying creature, he would never have put this mask aside so casually and allowed you to obtain it so easily!

……

A set! It's actually a set!

This was the first time Fang Senyan had obtained equipment of similar quality in space. Before that, he had seen two green-quality handguns on the market that formed a set. If they were disassembled, the attributes of a single gun could only be considered a relatively good black equipment, but the set attributes of the two guns together were very abnormal ※※※※ When equipping this weapon, there is a 5% chance to stun the opponent for 2 seconds in the attack!

You need to know that this bonus applies to both guns equipped at the same time! If both guns are fired at the same time, the chance of stunning is increased to 10%, and you must also consider that the rate of fire of pistols is usually quite fast. With the support and strengthening of agility, basic ranged combat, and firearm specialization, if you fully pursue the rate of fire, there is no problem in firing two or three shots per second.

In the actual combat shooting displayed by the seller at the time, the probability of stunning the enemy even reached the abnormal effect of stunning the opponent for 2 seconds every 10 seconds, which was amazing in the battle with the contractors, so it sold for a very high price.

This means that usually, the attributes activated by the set are very powerful.

And the set Fang Senyan obtained at this time can be said to be beyond the top silver plot equipment and second only to dark gold equipment in terms of attributes alone. For legal contractors, the biggest threat to them is usually not from melee combat, but from ranged snipers and legal contractors with the same ranged attack distance. With teammates covering in front, it is quite difficult to go around behind them.

So, the protective attributes alone are already extremely good, not to mention the prayer attribute? This is an ability that is not conducive to the contractor's PVP battle, but it is an excellent ability when passing through plot missions. Just pay the extra chanting time and temporarily reduce the 25% spirit power limit, and you can increase the power of your abilities by up to 50%!! What a great deal is this? You must know that perhaps this improvement is not obvious in the early stage, but when you become a colonizer, the additional 50% power of the spell-type ability at least means increasing the edge point or even more spirit power to achieve the same effect!

This is just Fang Senyan's analysis of the value of this mask at this time, not including the value after it becomes a set! This thing is not much different from the somewhat tasteless dark gold ornament obtained before! The two major points of survival and skill power that it strengthens are what every legal contractor lacks!

It can be said that getting such a piece of equipment basically makes this trip worthwhile.

After getting this thing, Fang Senyan very naturally, just like a man who can't help but glance at long-legged black silk, he would naturally... consider the whereabouts of the other two sets.

Although Fang Senyan knew that this opportunity was very slim, it would not be a big mistake to think about it, right?

According to the description on this piece of equipment, this Dubaiya Giant Majestic Mask is not only a protective gear, but also a symbol of status and power. Then, under normal circumstances, as long as it is not in a combat state or the owner is infected, they should be treasured in the homes of these priests, and still in the Dubaiya's distinctive treasure chests. If I could have the ability to be invisible, I could sneak in... Wait!!!

Wait wait wait!

Invisibility! Yes, invisibility!!!

These two words suddenly flashed across like a bolt of lightning in the dense clouds in the sky, completely clearing the clogged thoughts in Fang Senyan's mind!

I'm not the first one to come here and delve into the hinterland of the Dubaiya swamp, stealing the Stairway to the Sun. The original Bernard Forke, and later his descendant, Lord Little Forke, are both models of crossing the ocean and succeeding from afar. The strength they had when they first arrived here could definitely not catch up with our trio! Black magic is mainly based on curses and damage, and there are no top-level auxiliary spells such as invisibility, which means that they cannot sneak in secretly...

Since they can't be invisible...

Then, how did these two damn guys successfully steal the Stairway to the Sun and then retreat unscathed?

With this thought, Fang Senyan immediately opened "Bernard Forke's" nautical manual again. The coordinates of Kumu Port recorded on this guy's manual were xxxxxxxxxx.

Then the following pages were torn off, showing a series of: Remnants, unreadable. Obviously, the remnants torn off here should have recorded how an ordinary person (Bernard Forke, who came here at that time, was an ordinary guy) went deep into the hinterland of the Dubaiya swamp without being caught by those vicious natives, and was finally able to retreat unscathed and conquer a great kingdom!

Unfortunately, Fang Senyan thought at the time that these things were due to the long time the nautical manual had been kept, and these pages were accidentally lost. Now it seems that these key pages should have been torn off by Lord Little Forke. "He wants to use this extreme method to protect this secret of the Forke family!!!!!"
