30: Chapter 28 Two Magic Artifacts 30: Chapter 28 Two Magic Artifacts Xiao Jie looked at the corpse and could not help but feel relieved, he was glad they had hired these four militian this ti, or else the one to have taken the “Big Move” might have been one of them.
Otherwise, they would have been sucked dry.
These 2,000 coins were well spent.
“Everyone, don’t be discouraged, Old Liu died for Ginkgo Village, his death is as heavy as Mount Tai, we should inherit his will, and live on better to protect Ginkgo Village.
Gentlen, please take Old Liu’s body back and bury him properly, I will definitely report his heroic actions to the village chief.”
Watching the militian carry away Old Liu’s body, the two of them couldn’t wait to pick up the monster’s corpse.
As expected, the Tree Demon Derivative had dropped two materials.
[Demon Blood Black Wood (Material/Rare)
Item Introduction: Black wood that has been soaked in demon blood, extrely hard and seemingly possessing a hint of mana, is an excellent material for crafting magic artifacts.]
[Spirit Essence Tree Core (Material/Rare)
Item Introduction: The core of a ginkgo tree, for so reason contains a faint divine power, even though the tree has died, this divine power has not dissipated, is an excellent material for crafting magic artifacts.]
These two pieces should be what the Old Village Chief wanted.
Each taking one, they went straight to the village chief’s house to report.
When they arrived at the village chief’s house, Xiao Jie narrated the fight in an exaggerated manner, naturally highlighting their roles, as for those militian, they were only on the sidelines, playing a supporting role to set the atmosphere.
I Want to Be Immortal listened with a red face, while Xiao Jie narrated quite naturally.
The ga had a high degree of freedom and NPCs were very intelligent, so being a smooth talker was also very important.
The sa task, with different reports, could indeed affect the outco.
After listening to Xiao Jie’s narration, the Old Village Chief nodded with satisfaction, “Well done both of you, now that the Tree Demon is gone, our Ginkgo Village can finally rest easy, the bravery of you two heroes will never be forgotten by Ginkgo Village.”
System Prompt: Completed the adventure quest [The Old Village Chief’s Request], your reputation in Ginkgo Village increased by 200 points, now at 200/300, (Friendly).
“Oh yes, did you find anything from that Tree Demon Derivative?”
“Indeed we found two treasures, please have a look, Old Village Chief,” Xiao Jie said as he and I Want to Be Immortal traded the two materials to the old villager.
“Ah, wonderful items!
Please wait a mont, I will start crafting magic artifacts right away.”
They watched as the Old Village Chief took out tools and promptly crafted two magic artifacts.
“These materials left by the demon are truly extraordinary, I’ve crafted a sword and a talisman, each of you may take one.
For demon-suppressing and ghost elimination in the future, they might be of help.
Take a look—”
Two equipnt pickup prompts imdiately popped up for them, and they were free to choose one.
[Black Wood Sword (One-Handed Sword/Excellent)
Attack: 19 Chop, 17 Stab, Magic Strength 1.
Weapon Effect: Blood of Ebony.
Consus 10 life points to grant your weapon the ‘Soul Slash’ property, which can deal damage to ghost-type monsters, lasting for 60 seconds.
Item Introduction: A longsword made from Demon Blood Black Wood, not only is it exceptionally sharp, but it also carries a hint of mana, which can slightly enhance the power of spells.
Additionally, the sword body, soaked in demon blood, can gain the power of Soul Slash by the nourishnt of fresh blood.]
[Divine Wood Talisman (Amulet/Excellent)

Item Introduction: A protective talisman crafted from the Spirit Essence Tree Core, the residual divine power in the core can repel the forces of demons and ghosts, protecting you from the invasion of demon ghosts and evil gods.]
Both items were great, Xiao Jie praised in his heart.
However, he didn’t make a choice straight away.
He turned his gaze to I Want to Be Immortal beside him.
“This adventure was triggered by you, you choose first,” he said to I Want to Be Immortal.
Although both were great, rules had to be followed, the adventure was triggered by I Want to Be Immortal, it was as if he had shared an adventure quest with him, and although it was help provided, it was correct for I Want to Be Immortal to choose first.
“Ah, how could I possibly take first?”
“Co on, just pick and stop talking nonsense.”
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” I Want to Be Immortal hesitated for a mont, then decisively chose the Black Wood Sword.
This weapon had the Soul Slash effect, aning that with this sword, one could now deal damage to ghosts, sothing that had deeply scared him after hearing Wang Kai’s story about the Night Ghost.
That creature was immune to physical attacks, and ordinary players couldn’t contend with it, but now with this sword, at least he would have a chance to fight back.
This choice, however, didn’t surprise Xiao Jie, for in any ga, weapons were usually the priority.
The Divine Wood Talisman was also good, granting a dispelling spell and adding 5 points to the spirit attribute, and since he used a knife himself, it was not a bad outco either.
Even though no monetary reward was received, this one magic artifact was enough to leave Xiao Jie satisfied.
After leaving the village chief’s house, both of them were quite thrilled with the gains from this unexpected adventure.
“If you co across anything like this in the future, feel free to co to ,” Xiao Jie said, having noticed that this I Want to Be Immortal had good luck.
Who knew, maybe he would stumble upon more fortune and it was essential to book his help early.
“Definitely, definitely,” I Want to Be Immortal replied eagerly.
He was also very grateful to have such an expert help him take on the quest.
Otherwise, if he had rashly gone to chop the tree, he might already be dead by now.
After saying their goodbyes, he went off to attend to his own matters.
Right, I still have five attribute points to add, Xiao Jie rembered.
He checked his current attributes,
Constitution: 9.
Endurance: 8.
Strength: 8.
Agility: 12.
Advanced Attributes—
Spirit: 12 5.
Spiritual: 10.
Perception: 9.
Faith: 7.
It was still uncertain whether the ga offered items for resetting points, so assigning attribute points needed to be done very carefully.
It would be terrible if points were added wrongly.
As for his strategy in distributing points, Xiao Jie had already given it so thought.
In the early stages, priority should definitely be given to basic attributes.
With no spells, relying entirely on physical output, it was natural to stack up the basic attributes.
Strictly speaking, all four attributes were very important for a player.
Constitution directly related to the length of the health bar and the player’s survival ability, so it was a must-add attribute.
Strength affected physical damage, and also couldn’t be too low.
Endurance related to Physical Strength as well as the capacity to carry weight, which was also essential.
With no Physical Strength, you can’t run away or jump far.
Then there was Agility, and this speed was all too important—high Agility ant you could run away if you couldn’t beat the opponent, but with low Agility, you couldn’t even run.
Of course, future attribute distribution would definitely have to be more focused.
Based on his understanding of the ga, Xiao Jie felt that there could be two main types of training: Strength-based and Agility-based.
A Strength-based approach ant heavy armor and a heavy sword, relying on strong defensive power and destruction power to clash head-on with monsters, wearing heavy armor to withstand the damage and using heavy weapons to take down the enemy face-to-face.
The advantage of this approach was a high margin for error.
You could take a hit or two without too much worry, and the skill requirent wasn’t too high.
However, the downside was a lack of flexibility, and it placed high demands on the equipnt.
Without good armor, it would likely be very frustrating.
To wear heavy armor, you also needed high Endurance, which ant that Constitution, Endurance, and Strength all needed to be increased, potentially leading to a scarcity of attribute points.
For the Agility-based approach, it followed the evasion path, aiming to avoid getting hit by monsters as much as possible—provided you don’t get hit, you won’t die.
Thus, an Agility-based player didn’t need heavy armor, aning less Endurance was necessary, and there would be lesser demands on attribute points later on, making it easier to transition.
If transitioning to a Magic System later on, it would be necessary to add points to advanced attributes, making them extrely scarce.
An Agility-based build only needed to improve Constitution and Agility, saving a lot of attribute points.
Therefore, Xiao Jie was planning to take the Agility-based route.
However, the other three attributes couldn’t be too low either.
Strength had to be increased to at least 20 to easily handle most swords.
Endurance also had to reach 20, having enough Energy to release Combat Skills for fighting.
Since he would eventually have to add points anyway, Xiao Jie decided to start by shoring up his weaknesses.
He added 1 point to Constitution and 2 points each to Endurance and Strength, thereby bringing all three attributes up to 10, reaching the level of an ordinary adult.
Constitution: 10.
Endurance: 10.
Strength: 10.
Agility: 12.
Checking the ti, it was nearly dark, so Xiao Jie logged out of the ga.
He moved his body and could distinctly feel that it seed to have beco stronger.
After taking off his clothes and looking in the mirror, his previously slightly pale and lean body now looked more well-proportioned and even showed so muscle definition.
Good, after leveling up a few tis and increasing all four basic attributes to 20, his physical condition would definitely crush an ordinary person, and he could at least reach the level of an athlete.
