No wonder...

No wonder equipment is only ranked after level among the four major categories for professionals!

After all, it was because the attributes given by the [Eternal Rest] set before were too few, leaving me unsatisfied.

Previously relying solely on high-level skills' inherent damage initial value to face various bosses, Yikes could wipe out the Destruction Sword with a flick of the finger.

The sandworms in the ruins of the Desert Sea can also survive with a sliver of health after taking a full hit of the Divine Fire Celestial Expedition.

It was because the damage was not quite enough.

Try resurrecting Yikes now and see if he can withstand Lin Yi's eighth-level Purple Cloud Tribulation Sword?

The answer is definitely not, and he'd even be heavily injured!

Lin Yi opened the skill bar.

In the universal skills bar, he found a new skill, [Snap], acquired by triggering the set effect!

[Snap]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Level: Basic]

[System: Universal]

[Cost: None]

[Chanting Time: None]

[Cooldown Time: None]

[Effect: Snap your fingers to deal damage to a target of your choice.]

[The damage dealt is determined by the total skill damage embedded in all Energy Infusion Slots. Current damage ratio: 0.001%]

[The type of damage dealt depends on the type of damage embedded in your Energy Infusion Slots. If there are multiple types, it will always choose the type that deals the most damage to the target.]

[The damage from this skill is triggered instantly, resolved immediately, with no projectile limitation.]

[This skill can apply to multiple targets at once. When selecting multi-target effect, the damage will be evenly distributed among all targets, and the damage type will preferentially choose based on different targets' resistances.]

[This skill cannot be leveled up or specialized. The skill becomes ineffective when the All Heavens Destruction Set is removed.]

After reading the skill.

Lin Yi felt he seemed to have obtained an astonishing skill.

[Snap], rather than a skill.

Is more like a "normal attack" in the game.

It has no cost, reading time, or cooldown.

The most defying part is, the amount of damage inflicted by Snap totally depends on the total damage of skills embedded in the [All Heavens Destruction] Set!

Although the current rate is only one in ten thousand.

It can only be used for clearing mobs or sneak attacks, relying on its no-projectile, instant damage mechanism.

But when the entire set is assembled, this ratio will multiply dramatically.

Meanwhile, the number of embedded skills will also increase.

It is foreseeable that as long as one assembles the set and has enough embedded skills, one Snap will obliterate everything!

A normal attack is a nuclear explosion!

Ultimate kill: A serious punch!

This set of equipment is truly too suitable for me!

Even if this set of equipment were acquired by others, it would probably feel ordinary, and most professionals would consider it trash.

But that's also a good thing.

If others think it's trash, it's easier for me to acquire.

Need to pay more attention to obtaining other set components in the future.

Hmm...

And also.

Once the Desert Sea Gold Rush dungeon is repaired.

I'll have to go back in again.

At the bottom of the Desert Vortex, there are two pieces of golden treasure.

The Hand of Annihilation is already so outrageous.

The other item named [Seed of the Primordial Fire] should also be extraordinary.

At this moment, on the Kasanis Starship separated by unknown layers of dimension barriers from the Blue Star World.

Sand Pirate King Roger shivered.

He couldn't help but embrace the glass bottle he had just salvaged from the vortex bottom.

Inside the bottle, a cluster of golden flames was continuously burning.

Always some crafty commoners trying to steal this king's treasure!

...

Upon entering the mission hall, Lin Yi immediately saw Nangong Ling waving at him from not far away.

Beside him stood a masked individual with a cold aura, dressed entirely in black.

It was none other than the Corpse Collector Captain Luo Xiao, whom he had a brief encounter with at the door of the Swarm Heart dungeon.

"You're here, you're here!"

"Captain Luo, your mission had been on the mission hall board for quite a while. Who would have thought the one to finally accept it would be him?"

Nangong Ling laughed.

When Luo Xiao saw Lin Yi, a glimmer of surprise was evident in his eyes.

"Lin Yi, we meet again."

He extended his hand, and Lin Yi reached out to shake it.

Hmm, still couldn't feel a living person's warmth, like shaking hands with a corpse.

"Been busy with job transitions recently, haven't had time to visit you."

Luo Xiao shook his head: "It's fine, our place is heavy with yin energy, most people avoid it if they can."

"Just didn't expect fate to bring us together again."

Seeing the two finish their small talk, Nangong Ling fittingly intervened: "Junior Lin Yi, the Sunset Silver Sundial you need for your fourth transition mission had been on the mission hall board this whole time. I saw it by chance some time ago but didn't commit it to memory."

"Alright, Captain Luo, I'll let you explain the remaining mission details to him."

Luo Xiao nodded, looked at Lin Yi, and spoke in a low voice: "I'll keep it brief."

"The incident started about a fortnight ago when a frontier camp at our Xia Nanjiang Province sent a distress message to the Xia Professional Alliance Army's southern command."

"The distress message indicated misdeeds by professionals from the Curry Country along the border."

"That region has long been plagued by neighboring countries with unscrupulous activities, and upon receiving the aid request, the southern command dispatched a thousand-man unit for reinforcement."

"However, half a day later, the reinforcement unit and the frontier camp garrison all went missing."

"Subsequent investigations revealed signs of a Descent Abyss invasion at the original frontier camp location, resulting in the emergence of a new Descent Abyss level-zero dungeon."

"The garrison and reinforcement unit were all killed by the abyssal energy erupting from the Descent Abyss dungeon."

"The scene was littered with corpses."

"Upon Shenxiao top management learning of this new level-zero Descent Abyss dungeon with a potential difficulty exceeding Extinction Level 1."

"To fill the gap left by the Swarm Heart Descent Abyss dungeon, they immediately dispatched dungeon transplant research experts to recover this dungeon."

"Along with them were over a dozen of my elite subordinates."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi questioned: "This kind of task also involves your corpse collectors?"

Luo Xiao and Nangong Ling exchanged glances, seemingly making a decision, and Luo Xiao finally spoke in a low voice: "To those who don't know us, our role is corpse collection."

"But in reality, we are the hidden intelligence department of Shenxiao."

"You could consider us a special operations unit directly under the academy's top leadership."

"Disguises, infiltrations, assassinations, bodyguard duties, intelligence gathering are all part of our duties."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi quickly nodded.

An organization has a part that can show up in public glamorously.

There must be a part that can't be seen in the light.

Just like Konoha's Dark Department and the "Root."

On the surface, corpse collectors seem only to collect corpses and handle aftermath work.

But in reality, this is what it is.

"What happened then?"

Luo Xiao's expression turned cold, and he spoke in a chilling voice: "The complexity of this incident exceeded my initial expectations, and we are completely unaware of the specific current situation."

"Because those I dispatched to secretly protect the Shenxiao Dungeon reclamation team have also gone missing!"

"Now... we might really have to collect corpses for our own people!"
