Chapter 932: Divination Tarot Card - Hanged Man[Fragment] (Gate of Truth)


[Item Four]

[Option One: Muscle Regeneration, B-level Quality, Talent]

[Option Two: Divination Tarot Card - Hanged Man[Fragment] (Gate of Truth), Dark Purple Quality, Equipment]

[Option Three: Divination Tarot Card - Hermit[Missing] (Gate of Truth), Quality Light Gold, Equipment]

"So I got two more Divination Tarot Cards again? And one of them is even an unprecedented Light Golden Quality Tarot Card..."

Zhang Yanhang initially just felt that Multiple Choice was somewhat considerate, which is why two Tarot Cards were concentrated in one option. But now it seems like it's more than just considerate; it's heartwarming to the point where his back almost melted. Just one Lord's Treasure Chest allowed him to pull out four Divination Tarot Cards.

"It seems that after advancing to the Fourth Tier, the strength of Multiple Choice has indeed been greatly enhanced, otherwise, it definitely wouldn't be able to accomplish such a feat."

However, the energy consumption Zhang Yanhang experienced when making choices was still similar to before, meaning all the energy value in his body was completely drained.

But fortunately, he no longer needs to frantically pop pills to restore energy value. After all, he can now rely on the Heaven and Earth Devourer skill to automatically recover dozens of energy points per second. It only takes a few minutes to fully recover.

"Moreover, this time, the Divination Tarot Card in the option occupies the item's talent slot. So, the question arises: since the talent I least wanted was retained, and both the soul points and weapon slots were also kept, was the Ash Source in the first item slot occupying the artifact or equipment slot?"

After all, Zhang Yanhang only has one last item slot left unchecked, and naturally, one must be sacrificed. If possible, Zhang Yanhang would prefer to receive an artifact.

Since a single piece of equipment pales in comparison to an artifact that can provide permanent benefits, however, the specifics will have to be left to fate. Considering his identity as the Heavenly Destiny Master, everything is likely planned out perfectly by Multiple Choice, so he's probably not worried.

Just like the current Tarot Card options, under the intervention of Multiple Choice, everything is arranged in the best way possible.

One can only say that awakened beings of the Destiny System are unreasonable by nature, as reasoning with destiny, in itself, is not reasonable.

This time, in the first option of this item slot, the B-level Muscle Regeneration, being the most basic Initial Talent, is something Zhang Yanhang definitely wouldn't choose, and even holds in disdain. So, he immediately started checking the Attribute list of the Divination Tarot Card - Hanged Man.

[Set Effect Two: Sinful Judgment (Three-piece set unlock attribute)]

[Introduction: The Hanged Man is one of the 78 cards in the Tarot, ranked 12th among the 22 Major Arcana, directly opposed to the 21st Tarot - World. He is the upside-down world, unique, doing what he wants, not driven by his own nature like the Fool, but through a deep understanding of the world.

The Hanged Man is upside down, implying a different perspective of viewing the world and a different mode of thinking.

The expression of the Hanged Man is calm, he is willing to sacrifice himself, even if his body is destroyed, his soul will exist eternally. He deeply understands that even in the worst conditions, patience will lead luck to eventually change.

Due to the upside-down nature, the Hanged Man views the world from a reversed angle, his joy and contentment are on a spiritual level, even though the body suffers, and success is uncertain, he enjoys it.

From a secular viewpoint, no one knows why the hanged man chooses this path of cultivation, whether it be voluntary or forced, potentially suffering physical torture, or perhaps enjoying spiritual elevation.

But all the above has nothing to do with this counterfeit product, mistaken in production and printing from a small workshop.]

"I remember the Hanged Man's prototype is Prometheus, the fire thief, so the Hanged Man primarily symbolizes the noble spirit of sacrifice, willingly sacrificing himself for the betterment of the world, often mentioned alongside Justice, making it a quite favorable Tarot Card."

However, how it's favorable, Zhang Yanhang believes, is more reflected in its Additional Attributes compared to the introduction.

"Ever since leaving the Goblin Plain, it has truly been a while since obtaining any equipment that can increase energy value recovery speed, and this time, finally awaited a related Divination Tarot Card. Despite being just Dark Purple Quality, it already boosts energy value recovery speed by 30%. Presumably, once upgraded to Light Golden Quality, it will further increase."

Indeed, Zhang Yanhang is already contemplating Light Golden Quality matters. As the three-card set of the first upgrade condition, namely Strength, Justice, and Hanged Man, have all appeared, it's just a matter of completing the Lord's Treasure Chest to immediately proceed with upgrading. By then, the Energy Value Recovery Speed provided by the Hanged Man is bound to soar significantly.

"Moreover, this 30% is just the Tarot Card's own boost. Once the set effect is activated, it will allow me to gain more Energy Value Recovery Speed bonuses."

Energy Value Recovery Speed is indeed quite critical for the current Zhang Yanhang, as it pertains to the automatic growth rate of the Heaven and Earth Devourer skill.

If the energy value recovery speed can be greatly increased, then let alone gaining two or three meters in a day, it might even become three or four meters or even five or six meters a day, thereby significantly increasing his strength limit. After all, the larger the size of his strongest attack method, Fatian Xiangdi, the stronger the power it can exert.

So, undoubtedly, Zhang Yanhang is quite satisfied with these three Divination Tarot Cards: Strength, Justice, and The Hanged Man, but he does not know if the next Divination Tarot Card - Hermit will provide any useful additional attributes. Thinking of this, he immediately opened the attribute list of the Divination Tarot Card - Hermit to check.

[Set Effect One: Blind Foolishness (Two-piece set unlocks attribute)]

[Set Effect Two: Soul Tower (Three-piece set unlocks attribute)]

[Description: The Hermit is one of the 78 Tarot cards, ranking as the 9th among the 22 Major Arcana cards. He is the oldest card among the 78 Tarot cards, a lonely spiritual guide, standing alone on a snow-capped mountain, away from the crowd, temporarily saying goodbye to the external world to awaken the inner self.

The Hermit is an old man, age representing his wisdom of life. He wears a cloak, standing at the snow-covered mountain top, bowing his head in contemplation, with a lantern held high in his right hand, symbolizing truth. Inside the lantern is a shining hexagram, the Seal of Solomon, with a faint glow representing the subconscious.

The seemingly weak light appears somewhat helpless in the desolate and dim snowy night, but for the old man, it is truth, and also hope. The lantern does not illuminate what's ahead, symbolizing not just blindly pursuing distant dreams while ignoring the truth nearby.

The cane in the old man's hand is the same playful stick in the Fool's hand, the magician's tool connecting heaven and earth, and the lance of victory pursued by the Chariot. By this time, after ignorance, passion, and prosperity, it has become so ordinary, the fervor of youth is long gone, left with only endless loneliness.

But all the above content has nothing to do with this improperly manufactured and misprinted counterfeit product from a small workshop.]

For this Divination Tarot Card - Hermit, Zhang Yanhang's understanding is that when a person enters old age, although he has the ability to change some things, due to the lack of passion he didn't do so, choosing to retire instead, even though knowing that making changes would be the right thing to do.

Zhang Yanhang can truly relate to such a mindset, after working all his life, now he finally retired, do they still want to drag me back to work like a horse? Wouldn't that be working me to death?

To put it another way, after working all my life, can't I just enjoy life?

Therefore, for Zhang Yanhang, it is absolutely impossible to engage in any laborious work after retirement. He will just enjoy life every day, living a leisurely yet joyful daily life.

Of course, there are those whose destiny is to work like a horse, having nothing to do after retirement might easily lead to rapid onset of dementia and premature demise. If that's the case, then indeed it's a life destined to work till death — typically known as a laboring life.

"As for the additional attributes, previously it was the energy value limit, now there's the life value limit. Seems like in the Fourth Tier, completely narrowing the gap in energy value limit is impossible, it will only keep widening.

The Light Golden quality Divination Tarot Card - Hermit, being an old man, logically should have a very short remaining lifespan, but due to being counterfeit, it instead adds to the life value limit, providing a 10% boost.

Though they are both Light Golden quality, the Divination Tarot Card - Hermit can, by itself, rival the life value limit boost provided by eleven initial state life rings."

Every time he encounters this kind of situation, Zhang Yanhang can't help but feel the urge to badmouth the life rings, because indeed, the life rings somewhat fail to live up to their name.

According to Zhang Yanhang's experience, once the Divination Tarot Card - Hermit activates the set effects, it could likely match thirty or even forty life rings, but subsequent tarot cards might only be obtained when opening Ashen Treasure Boxes.

[Item Five]

[Option One: Micro Nuclear Fusion Reactor (Magnetic Energy Embedding), Red Quality, Equipment]

[Option Two: Small Nuclear Fusion Reactor (Flesh Transformation), Legendary Quality, Equipment]

[Option Three: Mutated Ancestor Virus Liquid (Divine Attribute Gathering), Legendary Quality, Artifact]

"Legendary?! What kind of quality is this? Didn't we always use colors to define qualities before? How come suddenly there's a Legendary quality?"

Zhang Yanhang previously had been eagerly anticipating that the next qualities might be something like crimson or black, considering there are still a bunch of colors after red.

In fact, under normal circumstances, just splitting orange and red into light red, red and dark red results in six qualities, enough for use in three ranks. Yet the Ashen World suddenly transitioned into a never-before-seen Legendary quality, it can only be described as quite absurd.

"Moreover, since a Legendary quality has already appeared, wouldn't it logically follow with an Epic-grade quality next?"

From Zhang Yanhang's years of gaming experience, there's a high probability that such a thing may occur, but he still couldn't understand why the Ashen World's quality system deviated to introduce the Legendary Quality, to say the least, it is rather outrageous.
