Chapter 193 - 132: Distribution of Extraordinary Artifacts and Wang Biao’s A-Level Promotion

Chapter 193: Chapter 132: Distribution of Extraordinary Artifacts and Wang Biao’s A-Level Promotion

Before the two could even process what was happening, their hands had subconsciously shot out to catch the objects.

Zhang Meng and Huang Mao stared blankly at the objects in their hands.

It was because they looked so incredibly strange...

One was about the length of a chopstick and milky-white, resembling a spike carved from some kind of animal bone.

The other was a palm-sized, circular piece of bone. Its purpose was a mystery; anyone who didn’t know better might have mistaken it for a small dinner plate.

Just as the two, thoroughly confused, were about to ask what they were, two streams of information flooded into their minds.

In an instant, the confusion in their eyes vanished, replaced by utter, incredulous shock.

After a long moment, they slowly raised their heads and looked at Chen Chong.

"Chen Chong... my brother... you... I... this... just..."

"This... This is an Extraordinary Artifact? Brother Chong, are you... giving this to me?"

Seeing them so shocked they’d lost all composure, Chen Chong chuckled.

"Of course. They’re for you."

These were two of several Extraordinary Artifacts he had forged from the scraps left over from creating an Extraordinary Weapon. Their ratings weren’t particularly high, but they were more than enough for ordinary people like Zhang Meng and Huang Mao.

After careful consideration, Chen Chong had also determined that these were the Extraordinary Artifacts best suited for the two of them...

[Item Name: Snake Venom Bone Spike]

[Rating: C+]

[Source: A-Level Extraordinary Creature Blood-tooth Python · snake bone]

[Description: A bone spike infused with a toxin. Inflicting even a minor wound on a target will inject a non-lethal poison, incapacitating them for a short time.]

[Note: Use requires sacrificing some of the user’s own blood. The higher the target’s Extraordinary Level, the weaker the toxin’s effect. The toxin is non-lethal even against ordinary creatures, merely incapacitating them. The effect will gradually wear off over time.]

...

[Item Name: Protective Bone Disc]

[Rating: B-]

[Source: A-Level Extraordinary Creature Blood-tooth Python · snake bone]

[Description: Can release a small energy field around the user to defend against external attacks.]

[Note: Use consumes Spiritual Power. The field’s range can be increased by consuming more Spiritual Power. If an attack exceeds the field’s limit, it will collapse instantly.]

...

Neither the Snake Venom Bone Spike nor the Protective Bone Disc was of much use to Chen Chong or Xu Jun.

But these two were part of the team, yet they weren’t even close to being Transcendents.

If they ran into danger, they had no way to protect themselves.

With these two items, they would at least have some fighting capability and a way to save their own skin.

He had forged several low-level Extraordinary Artifacts from those scraps, none of which were useful to him.

Besides Zhang Meng and Huang Mao, he planned to give the rest to some of the others.

After all, even though the team had grown significantly in size, its overall strength was still too weak. They couldn’t pull ahead of the other groups.

Even if he couldn’t turn everyone into a Transcendent, having them equipped with these artifacts was far better than leaving them as defenseless, ordinary people.

"Brother..."

Zhang Meng’s face was flushed with excitement, and for a long moment, he couldn’t form a complete sentence.

Huang Mao’s eyes were red-rimmed; he was so moved he was on the verge of tears.

They had heard all about Extraordinary Artifacts from Xu Jun and had been incredibly envious.

But they both knew their place. They understood how valuable these things were and had never dreamed of asking for one.

They never expected Chen Chong to give them something so precious without a second thought. He truly saw them as his brothers!

It would be a lie to say they weren’t moved.

Now, when they looked at Chen Chong, their eyes were filled with nothing but gratitude.

The respect and trust they felt for him deepened even further.

Chen Chong then produced another Card—the Top-Level Enhancement Card!

He held the Card in his hand and looked at Qi Zhen. After a long moment, his brow furrowed, and he turned to hand it to Wang Biao instead.

"Use it."

Wang Biao took the Card, confused. But as soon as he perceived the information within it, his expression changed dramatically.

"Sir, this treasure is too valuable. I couldn’t possibly..."

"You’ve already used two Enhancement Cards, so you should know that this type of Card can only be used by those who have been recruited."

Chen Chong cut him off with a raised hand, his tone perfectly level.

"There are too many threats right now. I need an assistant who is strong enough to provide me with the greatest possible support. Or do you not want to help me?"

Wang Biao was left speechless. He quickly clasped his fist, knelt on one knee, and said in a solemn voice, "I was wrong, Sir!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he cast aside his hesitation. With a single thought, the Card in his hand dissolved into a stream of light.

To an outside observer, Wang Biao’s appearance hadn’t changed at all.

But he alone knew that an earth-shattering transformation had taken place inside him.

Wave after wave of power surged through him. His body felt lighter, his thoughts became more agile, and his five senses were sharpened to an unbelievable degree.

He could clearly hear the faint rustle of grass in the wind outside the house!

It was a feeling of being completely reborn, something he had never experienced before.

Meanwhile, Chen Chong used his Identification Skill on Wang Biao.

[Name: Human]

[Type: Transcendent]

[Rating: A-]

[Abilities: None]

[Description: A Transcendent with excellent physical strength and attributes. However, due to special circumstances, has not yet comprehended any Extraordinary Abilities. Arm strength and eyesight are particularly outstanding; perhaps these two areas of potential could be specially cultivated.]

’A- Level?’

’That’s not bad at all.’

’But the ’Abilities’ section is listed as ’None’...’

’It seems Enhancement Cards can only boost one’s physical constitution; they can’t grant Extraordinary Abilities. They’re just one-time use consumables.’

’Those two previous Cards—the Power Enhancement Card and the Comprehensive Enhancement Card—must have been overwritten by this Top-Level Enhancement Card.’

’However, given the nature of these Cards, even if they were overwritten, the previous effects should have stacked. That would have raised the upper limit of this Top-Level Enhancement Card’s boost, which isn’t a bad outcome.’
