[Ding~ Congratulations on completing the Snake King Island Secret Realm Quest · Saving the Injured with Player Liuli. Rewards obtained, EXP +80000! Gold Coins +8000! Reputation +16000 (including the title's double bonus)! SS-rank Skill Book +1! SS-rank Magic Scroll +1!]
The generous rewards from a rare-race Golden-rank Secret Realm Quest on the Divine Oracle Continent came one after another.
Especially for Ning Xi, her SSS-rank talent, Supreme Emperor, had a tenfold reward increase effect.
Therefore, the quest rewards she received were ten times what Lin Mo obtained above.
Another ten SS-rank Skill Books!
Another ten SS-rank Magic Scrolls!
They had obtained quite a few SS-rank treasures from this trip to the secret realm, Lin Mo looked at Ning Xi and said, "Looks like you're getting closer and closer to having an SS-rank skill in every slot."
Ning Xi smiled, "I'm still behind compared to Brother Lin Mo having SSS-rank skills in every slot."
Hearing this, Lin Mo felt a chill down his back.
There was indeed a difference.
But Ning Xi had the tenfold reward increase from her SSS-rank talent, Supreme Emperor.
Her SS-rank skills were equivalent to ten S-rank skills for an ordinary player.
And in reality, the highest rank of skills in Divine Oracle was only SSS-rank.
The rewards from the secret realm quest itself were still secondary.
The most important thing was: once a secret realm was cleared, it would permanently disappear. Therefore, every secret realm in the Divine Oracle world had a unique, exclusive first-clear reward.
Only the first-clear player could obtain it.
Just like when Lin Mo had previously cleared the Black Dragon Palace, the Divine Oracle Supreme Race's Golden-rank Secret Realm, which had been unlocked by Ling Xue through her SS-rank talent, Dragon Seeking Art.
The unique reward he obtained was the Black Dragon Clan's SS-rank limited-edition Divine Artifact, Black Dragon Emperor's Ring.
The soul of a secret realm lay in this unique reward!
As mentioned before: in the later stages of his previous life, the limited-edition Divine Artifacts that appeared in the Divine Oracle world!
Hidden classes!
Forbidden spells!
More than 90% of the top-tier resources all came from secret realms.
In other words, they came from the unique rewards for clearing those secret realms first.
[Ding~ Players Rulebound and Liuli, congratulations on clearing the Snake Clan Golden-rank Secret Realm, Snake King Island. Please choose one person to claim the unique first-clear reward of the secret realm!]
Such an opportunity was naturally given to Ning Xi, who had the tenfold reward increase.
Thus...
[Ding~ SSS-rank talent Supreme Emperor tenfold reward increase effect triggered. 983,654 Reputation consumed. Congratulations, you have obtained the tenfold secret realm first-clear reward: Epic-rank Pet · Queen Medusa +1 (This pet is unique and cannot trigger quantity enhancement. Quality enhancement has been automatically triggered. Queen Medusa's quality has been increased to Legendary-rank)!]
"Brother Lin Mo, we got a Legendary-rank pet!", Ning Xi said happily.
What counted as a top-tier item?
Anything that was almost impossible to obtain through normal means at the current stage, and even for a long time in the future, could be called top-tier.
Even before Ning Xi's tenfold reward increase was triggered, an Epic-rank pet alone would already be a top-tier divine pet that countless players across the entire server dreamed of at this stage.
Not to mention a pet whose quality had been increased to Legendary-rank after Ning Xi's tenfold enhancement.
You had to know.
At the current stage, according to official Divine Oracle statistics, even players who owned Elite-rank pets were only one in a hundred.
Players who owned Rare-rank pets were even rarer, one in ten thousand.
Across the entire enormous Beast Clan secondary main city of Inferno City, which had tens of millions of players, there were no more than ten Epic-rank pets.
And they were all low-level bloodlines.
But the one before Lin Mo and Ning Xi was the Snake Clan Lord of the rare races of the Divine Oracle Continent, Queen Medusa.
When they killed Queen Medusa earlier, Lin Mo could have used the SSS-rank Magic Scroll [Guaranteed Hit · Divine Hand] to capture Queen Medusa.
But that would have bound her, making it meaningless.
Lin Mo couldn't use her himself.
And he couldn't give her away.
But the Queen Medusa obtained through the secret realm reward was unbound.
That made a completely different difference.
Whether a pet was powerful or not mainly depended on its talent.
Ning Xi opened the pet space and looked at Queen Medusa's talent.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Medusa's Eye] (Queen Medusa Exclusive Talent)
Quality: Legendary-rank
Talent Effect 1: Each time Queen Medusa attacks an enemy, she has a 70% chance to petrify the enemy for 1 second (targets petrified by Queen Medusa can receive damage during the petrification period)
Talent Effect 2: Queen Medusa and her owner deal +50% final damage to enemies in a petrified state
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
It was still different from the [Advanced Petrification] talent Queen Medusa had before.
After all, Advanced Petrification granted complete immunity to physical and magical damage, which was too unreasonable.
As a racial lord talent.
It naturally couldn't be inherited by a pet.
And as a Legendary-rank, high-bloodline pet positioned as a mage.
Combined with this Legendary-rank talent that had a high chance of petrifying enemies and greatly increased final damage against petrified targets.
Queen Medusa was destined to be an extremely powerful magic pet.
Of course, even if Queen Medusa herself wasn't powerful, it didn't matter.
As long as her owner was powerful, it would be the same.
Because the +50% final damage against petrified targets from her talent also applied to her owner.
At this moment, Ning Xi asked, "Brother Lin Mo, who do you think this pet would be best suited for?"
Ning Xi wasn't being selfish.
She didn't immediately think of giving it to her younger brother, Ning Fei.
Instead, she asked Lin Mo for his opinion.
However, Lin Mo didn't hesitate at all and immediately said, "Little Fei!"
Because Lin Mo remembered that in his previous life, Ning Fei had eventually obtained an SS-rank talent through Ning Xi that refreshed all his skill cooldowns whenever he killed an enemy.
Combined with Ning Fei's high-burst Assassin class, he was practically Jing Ke from Honor of Kings before her rework.
But against agile opponents with lots of mobility, or thick-skinned tank-type opponents, if he couldn't kill them quickly, it would greatly disrupt Ning Fei's attack rhythm.
If he combined that with Queen Medusa's petrification to lock down enemies and increase damage.
It would perfectly make up for Ning Fei's weakness.
Thus, Ning Xi sent Queen Medusa to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo: "?"
"Why are you giving her to me?"
"You give her to Little Fei," Ning Xi said, "Just tell him you got her."
Lin Mo understood.
Ning Xi was giving him a chance to show off in front of his brother-in-law.
Lin Mo couldn't help sighing, "Where could I find another wife who's so gentle, considerate, beautiful, and understanding?"
Ning Xi covered her mouth and laughed, "Then Brother Lin Mo better cherish her!"
"Of course!"
Thus, Lin Mo sent Queen Medusa to [Shadow].
As expected, after clearing the secret realm, Lin Mo also successfully obtained the two things he wanted most, which were also the main purpose of this trip to the Snake King Island Secret Realm, God Refining Cauldron Map Fragment, Snake Clan Treasure Ruyi.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[God-Sealing Map] (Fragment)
Description: During the ancient war a thousand years ago, the Beast Clan's great mage hid the Beast Clan's supreme treasure, the God Refining Cauldron, in order to protect it, and recorded its location in the God-Sealing Map. This is one of the fragments of the God-Sealing Map.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Lin Mo weighed the God Refining Cauldron map fragment in his hand and muttered, "If nothing unexpected happens, Nether and the others should have already obtained the fragments from the four main cities of Shadowfall, Blood Moon, Rakshasa, and No Hope."
"Now, they're only missing the one in my hand."
Ning Xi said, "Brother Lin Mo, then what should we do next to get the four map fragments in Nether and the others' hands?"
Lin Mo clearly already had a plan.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
He said three words, "Show our hand."
