Ashen God-Chapter 667 - 666 [Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth)]

Chapter 667: Chapter 666 [Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth)]

But as he mused, Zhang Yanhang suddenly recalled a possibly relevant incident, "I remember that in the description of the Demon Ape Leg Armor, there was a plot about Azikasa Baofeng Saint Silvado looking after other retired Elves’ children in the Sunset Red Youthful Elder Leisure Entertainment Park.

Then Azikasa Baofeng Saint Silvado helped that cat-eared high elf girl by catching a ’Dark Energy Leopard’ from the ’neighboring forest,’ which although theoretically should be more active in some Shadow Realm, it sounded like it could possibly be linked to demonized creatures to some extent.

If it really was because of this Dark Energy Leopard that there was a connection, then that would indeed be quite reasonable; well, perhaps just barely reasonable."

Although Zhang Yanhang also felt this reasoning wasn’t very reliable, he really couldn’t think of any other reason.

After finishing his thoughts, Zhang Yanhang quickly shifted his attention back to the choices, even though he would definitely choose the highest quality Light Gold[World Tree Juice (Blood Dilution)], Zhang Yanhang still took a glance at the previously unseen Purple Quality[Wood Elf Blood (Magic Energy Reagent)].

After checking, Zhang Yanhang found that this was just a weaker version of Dark Purple Quality[High Elf Blood (Essence Extraction)]and not worth obtaining, so he quickly started looking at the next option.

[Item Four]

[Option One: Scalia Alien Species Giant Cavalry Spear, Dark Purple Quality, Weapon]

[Option Two: Hallheid Deformed Heavy Hammer, Light Golden Quality, Weapon]

[Option Three: Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth), Blue Quality, Equipment]

"Ah, multiple choice truly lives up to its name, with an inclusion of a Divination Tarot Card option as unexpected as ever amidst two weapon-related options, mixing a Divination Tarot Card of Blue Quality in with Dark Purple and Light Golden quality weapons, which is indeed preposterous.

Based on my previous experiences of opening treasure boxes, the quality of items in the box is surely related to the quality of the dropped treasure box itself.

Like this Dark Purple quality treasure box dropped by the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Peppa, in the past, it should only have been able to unveil items one quality tier higher or lower, that is, in the range of Purple Quality, Dark Purple Quality, or Light Golden Quality.

But now, due to the activation of the options, multiple choice forcefully inserted a Divination Tarot Card of Blue Quality, lower even than the theoretically lowest quality."

Although Zhang Yanhang didn’t know if other less fortunate Awakeners would ever get items two quality grades below the treasure box, he felt that even if it were possible, it would be an extremely low probability, and more likely, it wouldn’t have happened at all.

Yet now multiple choice forcibly made the impossible possible by pushing a Blue Quality[Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth)]into the box.

But although [Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth)] is indeed important, Zhang Yanhang still decided to first check out the Scalia Alien Species Giant Cavalry Spear and Hallheid Deformed Heavy Hammer, mainly because he had never seen them before, so he couldn’t resist checking out their attribute list.

After checking, Zhang Yanhang found that although both the Scalia Alien Species Giant Cavalry Spear and the Hallheid Deformed Heavy Hammer sounded impressive, they were just two ordinary weapons without any very powerful skills; their inherent skill strength and additional attributes were rather ordinary.

They weren’t enough to make Zhang Yanhang give up [Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth)] for them, although a Light Golden Quality weapon could be used as an upgrade material for the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist.

But compared to the upgrade material, without a doubt, the [Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth)] was more important to Zhang Yanhang, even though it was only of Blue Quality.

So, after checking the attributes of the Scalia Alien Species Giant Cavalry Spear and Hallheid Deformed Heavy Hammer, Zhang Yanhang immediately started to check the most important [Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth)] attribute list.

[Introduction: The Star is one of the 78 cards of the Tarot, ranked 17th among the 22 Major Arcana cards, a card deeply imbued with hope. Under the illumination of the Star of Hope, Sirius, the Goddess of Hope pours holy water from the Holy Water Bottle into the pool signifying the subconscious.

She knew how desperately people needed hope, so when one bottle of holy water ran out, she poured another. Only with hope could people find enough motivation to accomplish many things; hope was the source of human vitality.

The dawn’s early light was finally about to arrive, the long night was about to vanish, and the myriad of stars would bring you endless hope and luck, guiding you towards a bright future.

But all of the above had nothing to do with this counterfeit and misprinted product from a small workshop.]

"Compared to the descriptions of items from the Demonized Swamp, the blurb of this ’Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth)’ is somewhat nonsensical.

But that’s quite normal for tarot cards, being nonsensical is to be expected, after all, they were made to be confusing that’s what makes them good fodder for hoodwinking."

Of course, Zhang Yanhang was referring to the ordinary tarot cards of the Main World, the tarot cards from Ashen World like ’Divination Tarot Card·Star[Fake] (Gate of Truth)’ might actually possess some transcendent power and weren’t just small divination games meant to bamboozle people before the Spiritual Qi Recovery.

"This ’Divination Tarot Card·Star’ and the other three tarot cards—Fool, Emperor, and Chariot—in terms of additional attributes are really consistent, typical of counterfeit products from an underground black workshop. The description says the Star could provide me with endless hope and luck, but the attribute bonus it actually provides is a 5% Critical Strike Rate bonus.

Maybe hope can’t be quantified, but couldn’t you enhance luck instead of just slapping on a Critical Strike Rate bonus, as much as I do need the Critical Strike Rate bonus right now?"

Previously, due to swapping out the Green Ten-piece Set, Zhang Yanhang had reduced his Critical Strike Rate by 3.5%, and now the Critical Strike Rate bonus provided by the ’Divination Tarot Card·Star’ just happened to fill that gap, and even offered a bit extra, which was indeed quite nice.

Also, since he had always wanted to trigger critical hits and Double Strike when using All Four Elements are Void, he had been thinking of increasing his Critical Strike Rate, but didn’t expect to obtain a new piece of equipment that could enhance Critical Strike Rate so soon. Multiple Choice really treated him well.

After checking the attribute list of the ’Divination Tarot Card·Star,’ Zhang Yanhang quickly opened the last Item, where ideally he should be able to get some new equipment.

[Item Five]

[Option One: Wild Boar Skin Ring, Purple Quality, Equipment]

[Option Two: Exotic Bracelet, Dark Purple Quality, Equipment]

[Option Three: Demon Pig Leg Ring, Light Golden Quality, Equipment]

"This Demon Pig Leg Ring is somewhat preposterous, why on earth does it have the same prefix name even though it is Light Golden Quality, whereas before it was a Dark Purple Quality Demon Pig Arm Bracelet? Shouldn’t there be at least some distinction due to different qualities?"

Regarding this issue, Zhang Yanhang felt that it definitely needed to be addressed by the High Elf Apprentice Blacksmith; however, considering that she already had Azikasa Baofeng Saint Silvado on her back, maybe Azikasa Baofeng Saint Silvado could take some responsibility too.

"And besides, aren’t leg rings something that only women wear? An arm bracelet might be normal for me, but a leg ring might indeed be a bit perverse."

Honestly, aside from the stereotype that only women wear leg rings, Zhang Yanhang was always confused about what leg rings were for. Were they supposed to tighten the thigh muscles? But wouldn’t tightening the thigh muscles affect the power structure of movement? So, it just left him utterly bewildered, completely clueless about the purpose of leg rings.

Furthermore, from a certain perspective, Zhang Yanhang actually disliked leg rings, because when he looked at the thumbnails, he always mistook them for thigh-high stockings, or rather, he often mistook them for garter belts.

Whenever he clicked in excitedly, he would end up disappointed to find only the suspenders and no stockings, which was quite frustrating.

After being deceived multiple times, Zhang Yanhang gradually became confused about the purpose of leg rings. He felt that they were utterly useless, serving only to deceive him or mistakenly draw his attention to weird places.

"But although leg rings normally don’t have any practical use, this Demon Pig Leg Ring is, after all, of Light Golden Quality equipment, and it definitely needs to be used. After all, others who wear leg rings usually don’t wear pants, but I’m different—I wear pants. So, I shouldn’t really care much about the leg ring.

Besides, worst case, I’ll just activate hide after wearing it, since I don’t need the leg rings for any defense bonus anyway, just for the additional attribute effects."

Also, a long time ago, Zhang Yanhang had obtained something similar in his equipment from the Raccoon City Police Department Special Weapons and Tactics Team—a thigh holster which he had used for some time. So, from that aspect, he could slightly accept wearing a leg ring.

Of course, accepting doesn’t mean he wouldn’t despise the regular, useless kind of leg ring. Indeed, the plain leg rings, which have a rather ambiguous function, aren’t as useful as a thigh holster that has a practical use.

"Speaking of which, what exactly are these Exotic Bracelets and Wild Boar Skin Rings?"

Driven by strong curiosity, Zhang Yanhang first checked the attributes list of the Exotic Bracelet, and as the name plainly suggested, it was just a bracelet for the foot.

If Zhang Yanhang could explain the purpose of leg rings with something like thigh holsters, he truly felt that foot rings were completely useless and indeed only worn by women.

Of course, if you include electronic monitoring ankle bracelets, then the range of wearers for foot rings might be broader, including various groups like LGBTQIAPK...

Honestly, when Zhang Yanhang first saw this abbreviation, he thought it was some app package, only to later realize it referred to various genders.

In any case, although human gender is broad, free, unrestricted, and undefined... regardless of the gender, after committing a crime, everyone indiscriminately needs to wear electronic ankle bracelets and equally enjoy the thrill of electric shocks. Zhang Yanhang felt this was truly egalitarianism, especially for the United States, the world’s largest prison state.

So, because in recent years the electronic ankle bracelet is what Zhang Yanhang remembers most about foot rings and is also the most widely used, he really does not have a good impression of foot rings.

Also, for the reasons mentioned above, Zhang Yanhang also genuinely felt he did not need a foot ring. If he had one, he worried he might not be able to resist the illusion that he was actually a criminal.

Therefore, compared to foot rings, he genuinely believed leg rings were far better. After all, leg rings were originally invented to hold up stockings, and stockings were invented for men. So, theoretically, a man wearing a leg ring could be considered part of a fashion cycle. Yeah, that’s probably normal, sort of.
