Chapter 234 - 234: 234: Star Artifact Feast, Treasure Acquired!
Of course, the gemstone fragments in the virtual world could not be taken out, but the system had already counted how many fragments each War God had.
After entering his identification number, Lin Zhen finally found the number of gemstones he owned.
After the crazy killing spree by the riverbank, Lin Zhen’s gemstone count skyrocketed again, currently possessing 1,850 red gemstone fragments, 174 blue gemstone fragments, and 55 yellow gemstone fragments.
If all these were exchanged for Star Artifacts, there would be 185 Lower Grade Star Artifacts, 17 Middle Grade Star Artifacts, and 5 High Grade Celestial Devices.
“Hello, Mr. Lin Zhen, how may I help you?” a sweet customer service voice came over the line.
“Can the gemstone fragments be exchanged using the decimal system?” Lin Zhen asked again.
The so-called decimal system is to exchange ten red gemstone fragments for one blue gemstone fragment, and ten blue gemstone fragments can also be exchanged for one yellow gemstone fragment.
“Yes, sir, you can exchange them,”
“Then let me exchange all of them for yellow gemstone fragments.” The Lower Grade Star Artifacts were no longer of much use to Lin Zhen, he needed High Grade Celestial Devices.
In less than five seconds, Lin Zhen’s gemstone fragment count changed, the red gemstone fragment count reset to zero, the blue gemstone fragment count remained at nine, and the number of yellow gemstone fragments became ninety.
Looking at these nine blue gemstone fragments, Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment. Turning them into cash would only amount to nine hundred million, which was of no use to Lin Zhen at the moment. If he could exchange them for a Middle Grade Star Artifact, it would be somewhat useful, but he was one fragment short.
“Can I make up the difference with cash and purchase one blue gemstone fragment, then exchange it for a Middle Grade Star Artifact?”
“You cannot.”
“Then can I add a Lower Grade Star Artifact and exchange it for a Middle Grade one?”
“Sorry, sir, you cannot.”
Lin Zhen had no choice, “Then exchange these for nine Lower Grade Star
Artifacts.”
“Alright, the virtual system will select for you nine times. You have an 80% chance of selecting a Lower Grade offensive Star Artifact, a 19% chance of selecting a Defense-type one, and a 1% chance of selecting an Auxiliary-type one. Do you want to choose manually or randomly?”
“Choose randomly.”
Soon, a grid appeared in the dialog box, a burst of light flashed, and nine Lower Grade Star Artifacts appeared inside.
Lin Zhen scanned them and saw that there were eight offensive class Star Artifacts, among which four were longswords, two were knives, one was a spear, and one was a staff.
There was one defensive class Star Artifact, a heavy armor.
“Lower Grade Star Artifact exchange completed. Please enter your address, and the Star Artifacts will be delivered soon.”
After leaving his address, Lin Zhen spoke to the customer service, “Please exchange my yellow gemstone fragments into Star Artifacts.”
He had ninety yellow gemstone fragments, which could be exchanged for nine High Grade Celestial Devices.
“Alright, the virtual system will select for you nine times. You have an 80% chance of selecting a Lower Grade offensive Star Artifact, a 19% chance of selecting a Defense-type one, and a 1% chance of selecting an Auxiliary-type one. Do you want to choose manually or randomly?”
“Choose manually.”
Last time’s random selection was a bit of a pitfall, so Lin Zhen didn’t want to try his luck again with random selection. He wanted to test his own luck. “Alright, the Star Artifact roulette is ready, sir, you may begin.”
A huge roulette wheel appeared in front of Lin Zhen, with a pointer in the center and a total of 100 squares around it.
The square at the top had an auxiliary Mental Defense-type Star Artifact.
Apart from this Star Artifact, there were various weapons in the remaining eighty squares and defensive Star Artifacts in nineteen squares.
Lin Zhen clicked to start spinning, the roulette wheel spun a few rounds, and finally landed on a longsword.
Lin Zhen shook his head slightly, as the Star Artifacts on the wheel changed after drawing one, restoring back to a hundred.
This time, Lin Zhen didn’t bother to see what Star Artifacts were available and clicked to spin again.
The result of this spin was better, as Lin Zhen obtained a Star Artifact soft armor.
Soft armor is a vest-type defensive Star Artifact, very thin, and although not as strong defensively as heavy armor, it is light and wearable under clothing without being noticeable.
Lin Zhen was quite satisfied with this Star Artifact, as he could keep it.
After acquiring the soft armor, Lin Zhen successively drew five attack-type Star Artifacts, which were basically future Star Shift tools.
It wasn’t until the eighth draw that Lin Zhen got a Star Weapon Spear called Broken Jade. It was 3.1 meters long, weighing 900 kilograms, with a huge spearhead and two blood grooves. The dark spearhead exuded an ancient, solemn killing aura.
“Not a bad spear, it’s considered good among High Grade Star Artifacts. It’s a perfect replacement for my Tyrant Spear.”
After obtaining this spear and star armor, Lin Zhen was satisfied and casually clicked for the final spin.
After the pointer turned for a while, it finally stopped at the topmost position!
“Congratulations to Mr. Lin Zhen for obtaining a High Grade auxiliary Star Artifact – Lightning Wings. The draw is over, and all prizes will be delivered within three hours.”
As the draw ended, Lin Zhen stared blankly at the last auxiliary Star Artifact he had won.
A pair of bright silver giant wings that could be worn on his back, providing some defense.
However, their main function was not defense, but flight!
“Lightning Wings can absorb the power of light and thunder to advance. They are a flying type auxiliary Star Artifact that can increase the user’s flying speed and are retractable.”
Seeing this, Lin Zhen almost wanted to burst into laughter.
“It’s actually the Lightning Wings, a treasure from Earth! The one-and-only precious item, which is itself a High Grade Celestial Device but has a growing potential. It can absorb lightning and radiant power to advance, and for me, its potential is limitless!”
“These fools from the War God Alliance didn’t know that it could grow because no one could infuse the power of lightning and radiance. So, when they defined this Star Artifact, they defined it as a High Grade Celestial Device based on its current state, not knowing that it could theoretically reach the speed of light when fully grown!”
Lin Zhen excitedly paced back and forth on the ground. Since his rebirth, he had faced many things with calm indifference because in his previous life, he had seen and even possessed these things. However, he had only heard of the Lightning Wings in his last life.
The Lightning Wings also came from the Leo Meteor Shower and fell to Earth.
After passing through several people’s hands, it wasn’t considered a treasure and even appeared in an auction. In the end, it fell into the hands of a visitor from an extraterrestrial civilization.
That person eventually advanced to the Constant Star Stage and relied on the Lightning Wings to dominate amidst his peers.
His motto was: I come as I please, and I leave as I please; no one can hold me back.
But even that person only mastered radiant power, not to mention the resonant light quantum power, so he didn’t even unleash the sub-light speed potential of the Lightning Wings.
If both lightning atom and light quantum powers can be mastered, the speed of the Lightning Wings can be boosted to the speed of light.
Currently, the Lightning Wings only slightly increased the user’s speed, which is why they were defined as a High Grade Celestial Device.
After anxiously waiting at home for more than an hour, all the Star Artifacts were delivered.
After signing for delivery, Lin Zhen put away all the other Star Artifacts, wore the Star Artifact soft armor under his clothes, played with the Broken Jade Spear for a while, and then put it in the Space Ring.
Finally, he picked up the Lightning Wings.
This retractable treasure would be extremely thin and almost invisible when placed on his back.
Living in a villa, Lin Zhen didn’t have many neighbors. He got up and went to a secluded place, wearing the Lightning Wings on his back.
As soon as he put them on, the Lightning Wings emitted a humming sound and suddenly merged into Lin Zhen’s body!
“This is the treasure recognizing its master!” Lin Zhen’s eyes widened. Whether it’s a High Grade Star Artifact or a Top Quality one, they usually can’t recognize a master and can be used by anyone. They are considered lifeless objects.
Among the stars, Star Artifacts are considered standardized weapons and generally don’t have uniqueness.
Only growing artifacts may have the possibility of recognizing a master, but Lin Zhen seldom heard of actively recognizing one. If the Lightning Wings actively recognized Lin Zhen as their master, it could only mean one thing Lin Zhen’s attributes were too compatible with the Wings.
“Even though you are a High Grade Star Artifact, I will definitely cultivate you into something greater and let you accompany me forever!”
Lin Zhen waved his arms, twisted his body, and could hardly feel the existence of the Lightning Wings. He could only see a pair of hidden wings when he scanned his back with spiritual power.
With a single thought, the Lightning Wings emerged outside his back, not clashing with the Star Artifact armor or even damaging his clothes.
“Open!”
The huge wings unfolded, each extending over five meters long. They were as thin as cicada wings yet incredibly tough.
Lin Zhen rose into the sky, stepping on the clouds.
With a few flaps of the Lightning Wings behind him, Lin Zhen suddenly accelerated.
Hovering at high speed over the villa area and rising to a height of a thousand meters, Lin Zhen still felt like it wasn’t enough.
“Although this speed is fast, it’s still far from the Star Realm Experts. I haven’t even reached the speed of sound yet. Since these are the Lightning Wings, I should be able to infuse my lightning and radiance powers.”
“I currently have three types of elemental particles of lightning and radiance Lightning Ion, Lightning Photon, and Charged Particle. Let me try the power of
Lightning Ions first.”
With a thought, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star started to operate, and threads of power began entering the Lightning Wings.
Lin Zhen had already resonated with these two elements. With a thought, the Lightning Wings were immediately enhanced with elemental powers!
The power of lightning and radiance flickered on the Lightning Wings, and the speed instantly skyrocketed!
“Yahoo!”
Lin Zhen didn’t expect it to be so fast, and he couldn’t control it. He suddenly shot down from the sky towards the ground.
A little girl by the window of a distant villa saw a meteor falling from the sky and immediately prayed with her hands together: “There’s another meteor falling. Oh, True God of the Stars, please protect Earth from any more catastrophes..”
