Chapter 59: Chapter59-Divine Stone



"You\'re awake. How are you feeling?"

Noticing Lily\'s awakening, Helena quickly stepped forward and handed her a glass of water.

"Is there any discomfort?"

"Other than a slight headache, I\'m fine, Sister Helena. By the way, how long was I asleep?"

"Not too long, only three hours. And that was in the game world. If you had disconnected directly, we would have been really scared."

"I didn\'t expect to be so weak..."

Lily stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit guilty for causing everyone concern.

"It has nothing to do with your weakness. The spell you used against the Behemoth far exceeded your current level, so you ended up exhausted. You could have just dodged it, but you had to act recklessly. That headache must be terrible, right?"

John returned, holding a cup of clear spring water.

"Let this be a lesson. Next time, you won\'t dare to show off."

"I know... By the way, is the task completed?"

"For now, it\'s done. Thanks to you, the elves\' view of us has changed significantly. At least now, when we walk in their habitat, we won\'t be met with unwarranted disdain."

John smirked and turned to Exiled Immortal, saying, "Besides that, Exiled Immortal has made a friend, an elf girl who admires him?"

At this, Exiled Immortal\'s face immediately turned red, and he stammered, "No, no way! I just helped her out. I didn\'t mean anything by it!"

"But I saw that the elf girl seemed quite interested in you. She even asked for your name and gave you a pendant, which you\'re wearing around your neck, aren\'t you?"

Hearing this, Helena\'s eyes lit up, and she urged, "John, what\'s going on? Tell us quickly!"

"No, John, please don\'t say anything!"

"It\'s nothing much. Earlier, we both went to see the Elf Queen. On our way back, we saw a young elf girl who had climbed to the top of a tree for fun.

The tree was already showing signs of withering and looked unsteady, unable to support anyone climbing on it.

In that desperate moment, Exiled Immortal soared into the air and princess-carried the girl down from the treetop.

Oh, you should have seen it! The little girl\'s eyes were full of stars, looking at Exiled Immortal like he was her hero!"

"That\'s not true! John, stop making things up!"

"Hahaha! Look at you, so shy! What\'s the big deal? You\'re both at that tender age of budding feelings. It\'s perfectly normal to have a crush on each other, right?"

"I-I\'m a player! She\'s just an NPC. How can it be the same?"

Hearing this, Helena frowned and corrected him, "What\'s the difference? Whether player or NPC, aren\'t we all characters living in this world? I think you should seize the opportunity!

Imagine, the children you two could have in the future, half-human, half-elf—how adorable would they be?"

"Oh, come on, stop it, sis! If you keep talking, I\'m leaving!"

Obviously, at Exiled Immortal\'s age, he couldn\'t accept such matters yet. His face was embarrassingly red, and he kept glancing at John with a resentful look.

John chose to ignore him.

"Of course, besides that, I also discussed some business with the Elf Queen. As long as I finish creating the trigger magic trap, the Elf Queen will open the Whispering Forest dungeon to us."

"Finally, back to the main topic after all that... By the way, Lily, what rewards did you get? The rewards for the major event and the dungeon first clear were distributed together. Check them out."

"Really?"

Lily opened her inventory panel and took out two pieces of equipment, one by one.

[The Last Words of the Hungry] (Pendant)

Quality: [Epic]

Trait: [Significantly reduces the wearer\'s fullness and sanity.]

Attribute Panel: [Stamina -10, Agility -10, Wisdom -10]

Item Description: [These are the last words of a beggar who only wished to fill his belly before death, but even such a small wish remained unfulfilled. What a pitiable person.]

John: "???"

Seeing the attribute panel and traits of this equipment, John felt his scalp tingle.

With no beneficial traits and nearly all attributes at -10, this equipment was, without a doubt, the worst John had ever seen in his two lifetimes.

Yet, paradoxically, the equipment was still of [Epic] quality, which only further confused John.

"Maybe... this pendant is just a bad joke?"

This kind of situation wasn\'t unheard of for Exiled Immortal. Many games have purely troll items, but this equipment was exceptionally terrible.

"This is a treasure. Thinking it\'s a bad joke just means you don\'t recognize its value."

Hearing these words, John was stunned and asked in confusion, "Did any of you just hear a voice?"

"A voice? What voice?"

Helena turned her head to look at John, waved her hand in front of his face, and laughed, "You\'re probably just hearing things, right?"

"Could I have misheard?"

"You definitely didn\'t mishear. It was me speaking. Have you forgotten my voice already? And to think I taught you all my alchemy skills."

The voice reappeared, and this time, John heard it clearly.

"You... you can actually communicate with me?"

"Of course. Once awakened, I won\'t fall asleep again. I can see everything happening outside, and communicating with you is no difficult task."

"Let me tell you, sometimes you need to see beyond appearances to understand the essence of something. Like slime mucus, it\'s clearly an alchemical material from the lowest level monsters, yet many high-level alchemy recipes require it. That\'s what I\'m talking about. Don\'t judge a flower by its bud."

Hearing this, John thought the woman had a point.

Since it was a reward for third place in a major event, it couldn\'t possibly be worthless.

There had to be something special about it.

With this in mind, John said in a deep voice, "This equipment might not be as simple as we think. Can I borrow it to study for a while?"

"Of course, no problem. It\'s yours, John!"

"Just borrowing is fine. By the way, what\'s the other item?"

[Astrologer\'s Ritual Gown]

Quality: [Epic]

Trait: [When worn, the power of stellar spells is slightly increased, and the casting cost is slightly reduced.]

Attribute Panel: [Wisdom +75 points]

Item Description: [The most basic standard gown of the Astrological Tower, suitable for both men and women. Though the style is a bit old-fashioned, it is extremely comfortable, making it excessively favored by many astrologers.]

This item perfectly suited Lily\'s current needs.

The increased power of stellar spells and the reduced casting cost were extremely important for her.

And most importantly, the gown was truly beautiful.

With just one look, Lily was captivated by it.

The mysterious hexagram embroidered on the gown seemed to connect with the infinite starry sky.

"So, I\'m the only one who didn\'t get anything useful? Wait, I still have a blind box."

John pouted, took out the blind box from his backpack, and met the conditions to open it.

He reached into the bag and groped around. When he seemed to touch something, a long-missed system notification sounded in his ear:

[Ding, congratulations Host, you triggered the Kiss of Luck]

John\'s pinky finger seemed to touch some kind of metal. When he quickly pulled it out, his face instantly fell.

"Ugh! It\'s just a piece of broken stone."

"Broken stone? What are you talking about! This is a fragment of the Temple of Olympus, a very rare material that can be used to make many things!"

The woman\'s voice suddenly exploded in his ear, making John instinctively cover his ears.

"Sis, can you keep it down? Don\'t startle me like that."

"Who told you to be so unobservant? Mistaking a treasure for trash, calling a divine stone a broken stone? I\'m telling you, you must keep this safe. It will definitely come in handy in the future!

Oh, and didn\'t you say you wanted to resurrect a friend? I can completely use this divine stone as a material to create a brand new body for them!

My goodness! Using a divine stone from the Temple of Olympus for alchemy, this is something I\'ve always dreamed of!"
