God’s Descent: Chapter 22
Nightingale and The Rose
“Thank you for your sincere advice by setting an example,” You Rongyi withdrew his gaze and looked at the gift package icon on the system panel. “However, this time, I do want to buy the gift package.”
Huang Jinghui: “!!!”
“No, Teacher You, why?!” Huang Jinghui was very puzzled. “This thing will only give you trash!”
“Because I can’t use any of the items here,” You Rongyi answered logically, “I’m only at level one, with a maximum of one hundred hit points. In a game where monsters can kill me with one hit, even if I buy potions, I won’t have time to drink them, probably won’t even have time to drink.”
“Compared to potions, weapons are more useful to me.”
That was entirely correct. Like when he was in the opera house before, You Rongyi was just grazed by a monster, his health hit bottom and he passed out. He indeed didn’t have time to drink potions.
Huang Jinghui pointed to the Wooden Hatchet on the panel. “Isn’t this weapon good enough?”
You Rongyi remained calm. “Are you kidding me? What’s the difference between a weapon that’s scrapped after one hundred attacks and trash?”
Huang Jinghui weakly replied, “…At least it’s F-grade…”
“Alright.” Under You Rongyi’s silent gaze, Huang Jinghui sighed and scratched his head in resignation. “You’re right, this weapon really won’t do. But I have to tell you, the chances of getting something good from the gift packages in ‘Gods’ Descent’ are very low. Most of them are junk.”
Huang Jinghui sighed. “If you’re going to buy it, be prepared to waste your one thousand star coins.”
“Yeah, I know.” You Rongyi looked at the roulette, decisively clicked on it, much to Huang Jinghui’s surprise. He held his breath instantly, unable to help but clasp his hands together in prayer—
—Please let it be a D-grade weapon, please, even an E-grade weapon would do!!!
【System Prompt: Player purchases a gift package using 1000 star coins.】
A gift package popped up on the system panel, emitting a pleasant ding-dong music. After the music stopped, the gift package popped open with a bang, revealing something inside.
【Gift package delivery!】
Huang Jinghui leaned forward nervously. “What’s inside?”
As the gift package opened and its contents spilled out, You Rongyi’s system panel immediately displayed a long string of explanations:
【Silver Long Chain with Scythe】
【Rating: Undetectable, Unknown】
【Function: Undetectable, Unknown】
【Expiration: Undetectable, Unknown】
【This weapon appears to be severely damaged and requires the player to forge and repair it before normal use】
The moment Huang Jinghui saw this panel, he let out a sky-shaking scream of despair. “It’s indeed garbage!”
The gift packages in “Gods’ Descent” often yielded items with all unknown attributes. These unknown items typically had values so low that they couldn’t even match those of F-grade items. They couldn’t be detected by the system and couldn’t be used normally, making them the lowest-grade items in the game, hence the term “trash.”
Under normal circumstances, Huang Jinghui would simply advise You Rongyi to discard it, as these trash items served no purpose other than taking up inventory space.
But now… Huang Jinghui looked at the trash in front of him with a complex expression, feeling helpless and at a loss for words.
A thousand star coins, just like that!
In the past, he might have just felt a bit of regret, but now, in this situation, star coins were life-saving. Huang Jinghui sighed deeply and, looking at You Rongyi’s calm face, he felt relieved again. After all, Teacher You earned it himself. If it weren’t for Teacher You’s hard work, he wouldn’t even have managed to scrape together these one thousand star coins.
You Rongyi, on the other hand, showed no disappointment or regret. His gaze fell on the weapon in his hand with a discerning eye.
The weapon had a peculiar shape—it was a silver long chain, about three to four meters long, with a heavy black scythe hanging from one end. The scythe’s blade was covered in bloodstains, rusty and warped, with several notches.
Indeed, the description in the system matched “severely damaged.”
You Rongyi had an indescribable sense of familiarity with this weapon—it seemed like he had once wielded this weapon, facing many players with blurred faces in an icy standoff.
“This weapon does have a nice design,” Huang Jinghui tried to console You Rongyi with some brainstormed points. “It’s similar to the famous weapon ‘Grim Reaper Chain,’ quite exquisite!”
You Rongyi raised an eyebrow, “Grim Reaper Chain?”
“Oh, right!” Huang Jinghui slapped his forehead. “I forgot you don’t know about these!”
Huang Jinghui explained, “In ‘Gods’ Descent,’ besides purchasing weapons from the system, players mainly rely on materials for forging. The top-tier game weapons are all forged from materials, and weapons rated above S-level in forging are considered famous weapons.”
“Grim Reaper Chain is one of the famous weapons, crafted by the player who was ranked first in total points at that time, ‘Traitor.'”
“Traitor…”
In the moment of hearing this name, You Rongyi murmured lightly.
He felt, without any apparent reason, a deep compassion, a kind of empathy with the name, an inevitable and fate-related compassion.
“The Grim Reaper Chain in the hands of Traitor,” You Rongyi looked directly at Huang Jinghui, “what is its function?”
Huang Jinghui answered, “Control.”
“Traitor had the talent of a control-type player, so the Grim Reaper Chain he crafted is a top-tier control-type weapon. The Grim Reaper Chain is currently the highest-rated control weapon known in ‘Gods’ Descent.’ The user can ignore the suppression from the opponent’s talent level and skill level, controlling all NPCs, players, and even Priests.”
“With Traitor’s talent skills, it can be said that there was no opponent.”
