Chapter 954: The Lord of Greed’s Cornucopia, the Mirror of All Forms

"Do you know the Lord of Greed?"

Zong Shen asked tentatively.

As the de facto first lord, Alpha's knowledge is unquestionable.

Moreover, being able to exist with such a special identity for such a long time is enough to prove that Alpha itself is not simple.

Presumably he should know something about the Lord of Greed.

After all, these items related to the Lord of Greed all flow into the hands of contemporary lords through the channels of the lord system!

It is absolutely impossible to say that the Lord System knows nothing about the Lord of Greed!

Zong Shen discovered early on that the channels of the lord system often put some equipment and items left behind by ancient powerful men.

Including but not limited to treasure chests at each level, announcement rewards, and challenge redemption.

It also proves that those strong men in the past are actually under the control of the lord system, and the legacy of the ancient strong men is more like an indirect inheritance.

Coupled with the experiences of the successive lords of the Endless Continent, from the establishment of the country to its destruction.

It makes this land seem like a hodgepodge.

Containing countless relics and the legacy of powerful men, they are like seeds. No one knows what kind of fruits they can bear until the last moment.

Zong Shen didn't know why he thought of these things in cooking.

Obviously this series is like the process of creation.

The mysterious supreme being is adding materials to the cauldron of the Endless Continent.

All kinds of delicious auxiliary materials, spices and seasonings are piled up in endlessly.

The lords in each batch are the fresh ingredients of the current period, but if they cannot withstand the test of cooking in the fire, they will eventually become the bottom side dishes.

In the future, the supreme being will continue to add main materials to it.

Until a certain batch of main dishes is amazing enough, then a good meal will be freshly cooked.

But with so many factors stacked together, who can know the final result?

Zong Shen was thoughtful and raised his eyebrows slightly. Thinking like this was a bit like thinking too carefully. People should not think too much.

Fortunately, Alpha's response brought him back to his thoughts in time.

Alpha nodded matter-of-factly.

"certainly."

"The Lord of Greed is a big shot."

"He is a top powerhouse who has amassed wealth and pursued profit and greed to the extreme. He has touched the field of related theocratic laws."

"Some of the small things he left behind, such as pots and pans, should still be circulating in the Endless Continent and are controlled by the supreme administrator."

Alpha shrugged and blinked again, indicating that he couldn't say anything.

Zong Shen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Zong Shen has become somewhat accustomed to things like divine authority, laws, supreme authority, and managers that were previously unknown to the lord.

He has become the supreme veteran among the lords.

It seemed like Alpha should recognize the cornucopia in his hand.

Just when Zong Shen was about to pick up the basin and ask him what those four words meant, the strategy module finally came to fruition.

(Based on query and combined translation of multiple text systems

The meaning of these four words: greed and profit-seeking

Judging from existing data, it was once a motto accompanying the rise of the Lord of Greed, and it was also an interpretation of the nature of the Lord of Greed’s power)

…

"Greedy and profit-seeking..."

"It turns out that as long as you persist in pursuing what you want, can you reach heights that are beyond the reach of ordinary people?"

"However, throughout the ages, countless epochs have changed, and countless dimensional worlds have flourished. I don't know how many greedy and profit-seeking characters have been born among them. I am afraid that this is the only one who can reach the extreme."

Zong Shen thought carefully in his heart.

In fact, greed exists in the hearts of all living beings.

This is true whether it is intelligent life or non-intelligent life, or even small cells.

Devouring, growing, and demanding are all shadows of greed. Even the very existence of life is closely related to greed.

From a human perspective, greed is not a bad quality.

Because life itself is inseparable from claiming and plundering.

As an essence that relies on and is closely related to life, greed is also difficult to say good or bad. At least in many aspects, greed is the driving force.

Of course, excessive greed can also completely devour rationality.

Zong Shen didn't understand this very deeply. He was just an ordinary person who was good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

There is no lofty heroic sentiment, and no far-reaching philosophical mission.

His goal has always been pure, that is to live...live well.

The demands are not high, but it is extremely difficult to achieve in such a situation.

Shaking his head, Zong Shen focused his eyes on the cornucopia in front of him.

Now that he already knows that the Lord of Greed has a lot of background, he should have some expectations for the cornucopia in his hand. After all, this is an object that he exchanged for real money and silver challenge points.

As for the experience, legacy, and thoughts of the Lord of Greed, they are not important.

If there is a chance, I will definitely come into contact with related things again in the future.

After figuring this out, Zong Shen felt suddenly enlightened.

It is the instinct of most people to pursue the secrets of the past, but excessive indulgence may not lead to great gains. Some things should be kept in mind, and some things should be allowed to take their own course.

Seeing that Zong Shen's eyes suddenly became clear, Alpha's mouth curved slightly, and he became more and more optimistic about Zong Shen!

In his opinion, Zong Shen not only has his own strength and development speed that have reached a level that is difficult for the lords of the same period to reach, but his character, experience and open-mindedness of thinking are also first-class. Even if such a character is not the darling of the original world's will, he is still You will surely be able to ride the wind and waves to achieve your goals!

Zong Shen didn't know that his evaluation in the heart of the mysterious businessman Alpha had improved a lot. In fact, his open-mindedness and experience only came from the accumulation of information and understanding.

The more things you know, the greater the pressure will be on your shoulders, but at the same time, your mind will become more open-minded and your horizons will be much broader.

While the lords at the same time were still worrying about self-protection, Zong Shen was already spying on the secrets of the Supreme Being, trying to find a way to break free from the shackles of control.

This is the gap, people are really different.

Different experiences, different insights, different breadth of information, and different stages of life will bring about completely different temperaments and perceptions.

The strategy module only brings information advantages.

But the impact of information is by no means as simple as it seems.

It is not just a process from learning to obtaining, it is also a way for Zong Shen to quickly absorb information.

He ended his thoughts and mental construction, and narrowed his eyes at the cornucopia in front of him.

Golden subtitles appear along with the system's item information introduction.

[The Lord of Greed’s Cornucopia (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[Active effect: Wealth appreciation (load dinars or other materials of appropriate volume to pour out double the amount. This effect can only be used once every 168 hours)

Treasure surprise (you can get a treasure surprise every 720 hours, and you can randomly get 99999~999999 dinars or items from Excellent to Shining Level VII)

Turning stone into gold (you can put materials, equipment, and items of appropriate size into it, and there is a 50% chance that it will obtain a quality upgrade. This effect can only be used once every 720 hours)

Wealth Traction (This effect can be activated once every 168 hours. It will randomly pull a treasure from a radius of 100 kilometers to the cornucopia, including but not limited to dinars, equipment, accessories, and magical objects. The size cannot exceed the cornucopia. Volume, cannot forcefully pull items that are bound by shields, magic circles, or closed terrain)]

[Passive effect: Accumulating wealth and treasures (every second of your life with a cornucopia of treasures will be arrogant, you will get 1 dinar every second)

Wealth is power (by donating all wealth items of suitable size, including dinars, accessories, gems, etc. to the cornucopia, you will receive limited-time combat power blessings. The specific blessing ratio is from 1% to 999%. Your own strength is different, and the donated The cost is also different)]

(The Lord of Greed’s cornucopia can help your wealth grow rapidly, and has the well-deserved function of amassing treasures and amassing wealth.

This basin and your money bag were both used by the Lord of Greed in the past, so they have related abilities and effects.

Compared with that money bag, the cornucopia is even more arrogant.

From the moment you own it, your wealth will continue to increase every minute and every second)

…

The cornucopia does exactly what its name suggests.

Simple, crude, and arrogant!

Not to mention other effects for the moment, just the passive effect called [acquire wealth and treasure] is full of arrogant temperament.

Every second he will receive 1 dinar.

That works out to 60 dinars per minute.

3600 dinars per hour.

86,400 dinars per day.

2,592,000 dinars per month.

31,104,000 dinars per year!

…

The Pension Party was overjoyed, this was much more arrogant than the [Interest] given by the [Lord of Greedy’s Money Bag (Orange)]!

Moreover, the wealth gained through the [accumulation of wealth and treasure] effect can be put into the money bag to earn interest, and the children and grandchildren will be endless.

As long as Zong Shen can endure loneliness, he can easily accumulate massive wealth!

As for other effects, they are also quite impressive.

[Wealth increase] is equivalent to turning one pot of money into two pots. In addition to dinars, those precious materials can also be effective, provided that it cannot be larger than this pot.

[Treasure Surprise] is also a prostitution-type effect. A dinar is randomly drawn, and there is a chance to get items whose quality level does not exceed the Glory Level VII.

[Midas into gold] can give the items put in it a 50% chance of getting a quality upgrade, and you can try to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, and its effect does not limit the original level of the item, provided that the volume of the item cannot Exceeds the volume of the cornucopia.

The last item among the active effects, the [Wealth Traction] is even more domineering. It is no exaggeration to say that it is no different from an open robbery. It randomly draws some dinars or treasures from an area within a hundred kilometers. , although this effect is also random, but the items that can be regarded as treasures by the cornucopia must be of a high level. Even in the worst circumstances, they can still draw a sum of dinars, and they will not lose money anyway.

There are only two accompanying passive effects. In addition to the extremely arrogant [Acquire Wealth and Treasures], the effect called [Wealth is Power] is also very simple.

From the literal meaning, it is not difficult for Zong Shen to see that this is a skill that "spends wealth and eliminates disasters". The cornucopia provides a channel to obtain temporary combat power gains by donating wealth, and the gain ratio ranges from 1% to 999%.

In other words, as long as Zong Shen is willing, he can get nearly ten times the enhancement!

And the amount of wealth he contributes depends on his basic strength.

This is also normal. The higher the basic strength, the higher the increased income, and the greater the cost of wealth that needs to be dedicated!

From this point of view, although this effect cannot be wasted, it will definitely work wonders in certain life-and-death crises!

"You can redeem such a good thing with just tens of thousands of challenge points..."

"This deal is really profitable!"

Zong Shen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, just the effect of [accumulating wealth and treasures] has already made a lot of money!

Even from a long-term perspective, the value of this cornucopia is no less than those of demigod-level items!

"Then other people's limited-edition redemption items are also valuable, aren't they?"

"No, I remembered..."

Zong Shen was thinking about this and suddenly remembered the system note that appeared when he opened the [Limited Redemption Category] list:

[The limited items/types/quantities available for this redemption category are all determined by the lord’s comprehensive score. Each lord has exclusive limited items. Some lords will have multiple redeemable items, and some lords will encounter When there are no redeemable items]

This remark highlights the special nature of Alpha’s [limited redemption category].

In other words, Zong Shen was able to redeem the cornucopia because his own overall score was high enough to redeem these items.

Secondly, it cannot be ruled out that it was because he had come into contact with items related to the Lord of Greed that contributed to his obtaining the cornucopia.

No matter what, this situation is a huge good thing for Zong Shen.

He dismissed the prompts and attribute lists in front of him and opened the storage compartment.

Both the lord and the heroic talents recruited under his command have the privilege of carrying storage compartments, but there is still a big difference between the two.

The storage compartment of the former can not only be used for quick storage and storage, but also has the ability to collect unlimited dinars. No matter what denomination it is, dinars can be collected and converted into a series of balance numbers.

Moreover, lords can withdraw dinars of different denominations and quantities at any time according to their wishes. Hero-level talents can also quickly collect dinars and convert them into balances, but there is a certain upper limit.

These are all situations that Zong Shen knew before.

It is precisely because of this that he firmly believes that the emergence of the dinar, a universal currency, is definitely the work of the lord system!

At this moment, in his storage compartment, the balance of dinars was increasing bit by bit, slowly but surely realizing the increase in wealth.

"It feels so good to make money even while sleeping!"

Zong Shen couldn't help but sigh!

He collected the [Lord of Greed’s Cornucopia (Special)] with his backhand.

The Alpha Temple is quite special. No recruiting props can be used here, not even [Wealth Increase] and [Treasure Surprise] can be activated.

Prove that this should be an independent restricted area.

He can only try the other effects of the cornucopia after the exchange is over.

After putting away the cornucopia, Zong Shen looked at another item floating in front of him, which was an oval mirror, about the same size as a dressing mirror.

The frame is movable and can change the angle of the mirror.

It comes with a base underneath, which can be placed stably on the ground or table.

The mirror surface is smooth and clean, but it is dark gray, and it does not reflect human figures like ordinary mirrors.

Zong Shen stared at the mirror, but he felt as if it was too deep to see through.

In addition, there are carvings of a narrow eye on the upper and lower sides of the frame.

Looking at it will produce a vivid feeling.

These two carved eyes looked like real eyes, giving Zong Shen a vague sense of voyeurism.

As for other aspects, there are no characteristics, and there are no too complicated patterns.

At this time, the mysterious businessman Alpha still did not forget his responsibilities.

He began to speak and introduce Zong Shen.

"This mirror has a very powerful auxiliary ability."

Hearing Alpha speak, Zong Shen also pretended to cooperate and kept nodding.

On the surface, he was listening to Alpha's introduction, but in fact he was pondering and researching on his own. He just listened to a few words. The real detailed research required the strategy module.

But he was more of an introduction service purchased with points. Even if he was just showing off, he couldn't act too unscrupulously in front of Alpha.

Although the mysterious businessman Alpha appears to be polite and respectful on the surface, Zong Shen actually understands that Alpha's means and strength are not something he can covet.

Even though Alpha now has responsibilities and is restricted and assigned by the lord system, Zong Shen does not dare to take it lightly to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.

Alpha was in his own mysterious palace and could only vaguely detect Zong Shen's vague will and mood. He could detect what Zong Shen was pondering in his mind, but the details were unknown.

Here, Zong Shen would like to praise the lord system for protecting the privacy of personal thoughts and will, according to what Alpha mentioned before.

There were several generations of lords who were completely under the state of mind monitoring. However, the development progress of those generations was invisible and unable to reach a certain height. Since then, the lord system no longer monitors the mind.

Once any intelligent life loses its freedom of thinking, it is equivalent to having its future potential and creativity stifled.

Seeing Zong Shen's lack of reaction, Alpha then added.

"The function of the Mirror of All Forms is very simple."

“You can look at some situations through it.”

"Includes people or things."

"Of course, it cannot effectively observe areas where there is strong interference and magic circle protection and shielding."

"But most places can use it for observation."

"The mirror will feed back the situation of the place you want to view in real time in the form of a real-life picture."

"As far as I know, its previous owner used its characteristics to peek into the privacy of many noble ladies..."

"Hoo ho ho ho!"

"Of course, I believe you will not be so dirty. Its own strategic value and information acquisition value far outweigh this little desire for snooping."

When the mysterious businessman Alpha said this, he seemed to think of something interesting and suddenly laughed for a while.

Zong Shen understood clearly that this mirror was a powerful monitor.

It reminded him of the legendary magic mirror.

You can use mirroring to explore the world without leaving home.

Of course, a truly heavily guarded place cannot be explored.

Places such as royal palaces and the castles and manors of great nobles are all equipped with special means of shielding magic values ​​and space interference to prevent spell prying and illegal space movement.

But even so, this also means that most areas can be under Zong Shen's supervision.

It's just that Zong Shen hasn't carefully checked its attribute effects.

It is not yet known what the detection range of this mirror is and what the detection conditions are. If it is a wide range of search insights, an efficient retrieval mechanism is indispensable.

These doubts can only be answered by the strategy module.

Although Alpha is knowledgeable and his introduction is basically correct, he cannot be so detailed. Originally, the lord needed to further explore the detailed usage and characteristics of the items, but Zong Shen has a strategy module, which is equivalent to mastering detailed instructions. Naturally, there is no need for such trouble.

Seeing that Zong Shen was indifferent and looked disapproving, Alpha stopped saying anything and just remained silent with a smile.

At this time, Zong Shen had already picked up the [Mirror of Ten Thousand Appearances (Gold)] and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.

Golden subtitles appear next to the mirror.

[Mirror of All Appearances (Gold)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Active effect: Mirror reflects everything (relevant locations can be retrieved through thoughts, and the mirror will show the situation of the location in real time for 20 minutes. It can penetrate non-magic influences and buildings, but cannot penetrate magic shields and magic The maximum display range of the shield and strong interference area does not exceed the area of ​​30,000 kilometers around the user. Each time a location is displayed, it needs to be used after an interval of 24 hours. The maximum depth of underground exploration is no more than 150 meters, and the depth of the sky is no more than 150 meters. The maximum exploration depth shall not exceed 4,500 meters, and the specific depth shall be based on the ground level of the exploration area as the standard)

Mark of the Universal Mirror (can mark up to 120 locations or people, and has the authority to detect marked locations and characters within a distance of 100,000 kilometers. This skill has no cooldown and no limit, and the detection rules are basically the same as those of the Mirror)

Mirror link (can be linked to any mirror object. After the link is completed, it becomes a split mirror. The main mirror and split mirrors can communicate, communicate and view each other at any time by displaying each other. The maximum effective link distance is 300,000 Kilometers, the maximum number of storyboards that can be linked is 12, the link has no cooling, but you need to wait a few seconds each time you initiate contact)]

[Passive skill: Mirror Insight (holding the Mirror of Ten Thousand Phases can quickly connect to any mirror within one kilometer around itself and display the live scene corresponding to the mirror. 2. It is also effective for stealth skills of no more than seven levels. , but this effect will also be affected by magic interference, shielding and shields)]

(If God gives you a pair of eyes that can see all things, then don’t just use them to peek under your skirt——

——The great philosopher, your most reliable strategy module says so

The effect of this mirror is extremely practical. Not all places will have magic interference effects or have special magic shielding devices installed.

It gives you a pair of eyes like a flying bird, allowing you to see a wider world and pictures

The three active effects are quite practical, covering the effects of directional investigation, universal investigation, and link communication.

That passive effect is also very simple. It is equivalent to having a large group of mirror scouts within three kilometers of oneself.

Every mirror will become your eyes

And the concept of mirror is not limited to the mirror.

Smooth floors, water surfaces, even reflective armor, metal utensils, and even tableware such as spoons and forks may meet the link requirements of Mirror Insight and provide you with real-time picture feedback.

With that said, you should be able to understand its value, right?

As for peeping, this guide doesn’t think it’s necessary. You might as well just use [Prophet’s Sharp Eyes] to confront them. Of course, if you are happy to pee, that’s up to you.)

…

"so smart?"

“Isn’t this equivalent to a super-precision spy satellite with built-in building penetration?”

"Although it cannot penetrate the area blocked by magic power, such a function is already quite outrageous!"

"Not to mention the super practical small-scale detection skill called [Mirror Insight]."

Zong Shen's eyes lit up, and he was obviously very interested in the [Mirror of Ten Thousand Phases (Gold)] in his hand.

Who doesn’t want to have the ability to see through all things?

It's a pity that this thing has strong restrictions on ruin exploration.

For example, it can only explore a depth of 150 meters below the ground level in the area, and most ruins are in deeper strata.

Even in those shallow ruins, there is a high chance of magic interference.

Taking the first ruins that Zong Shen explored, the demon hunter's temple and dungeon, what blocked the entrance to the dungeon was a sarcophagus made entirely of high-quality [Diamon Stone], and [Diamon Stone] It is a type of magical material that naturally contains magical energy and is often used in the manufacture of magic items and buildings.

It can also play the role of magic interference. Although the interference of [Magic Stone] is not strong, it is enough to affect the insight of [Mirror of Ten Thousand Phases (Gold)].

Therefore, it is not difficult to prevent being penetrated by the [Mirror of All Forms (Gold)].

As long as one is willing, most magic snooping methods are difficult to achieve results.

However, even with these basic limitations, the function of [Mirror of Ten Thousand Phases (Gold)] is already amazing enough for Zong Shen.

Speaking of magic spying, Zong Shen remembered something very important.

That is, his territory has not yet deployed magic interference devices.

This means that interested people can unscrupulously peek into his territory and any privacy!

[Mirror of Ten Thousand Phases (Gold)] is not the only magic detection method and prop. There are endless similar snooping methods, but its observation distance is exaggerated. In fact, there are indeed spellcasters who specialize in detection spells. By.

There are also some magical objects with similar effects to [Mirror of All Appearances (Gold)].

Then Zong Shen should really be more vigilant in this regard and no longer be as careless as before.

In fact, his territory has related isolation buildings.

For example, [Red Gold Barrier Pillar (Gold)], when the [Red Gold Barrier Shield] is turned on, not only has a defensive function, but also can isolate the enemy from prying eyes and prohibit the enemy's space transmission, and can detect non-one's own space fluctuations and have the ability to actively disrupt Ability.

However, if the [Red Gold Barrier Shield] is kept open, a certain amount of magic energy will be consumed every moment. If it is left open for a long time, the daily consumption of magic energy will not be a small amount.

So it is only suitable to be turned on during wartime.

Under such circumstances, Zong Shen was going to get some magic interference devices.

Magic energy interference is not a complicated principle. It essentially disrupts the elemental magic within a certain range, making the elements chaotic and unable to be absorbed.

When a place is in a state of magic interference, space teleportation and spell casting will be affected. At the same time, it can also isolate magic prying eyes, but it does not affect normal physical vision. It is a very common passive security method.

Not to mention, even the castles of Bosbon and Baron Bezos have similar arrangements, which can be said to be a "standard" behavior.

It was also time for Zong Shen to fill the gap in this area.

There is no need for more, he only needs to ensure that the important buildings and workshops in the lord's fortress and the core area are shielded and protected.

And you have to be careful, some workshops and buildings that involve magic operations cannot interfere with magic. You can only use other methods, such as using mid-to-high-level [Magic Stone]. Such magic materials can be used for external coverings and can also be isolated. peep.

Of course, there are actually special anti-peeping buildings, but Zong Shen hasn't had the chance to get one yet.

In any case, he has noticed this matter and will naturally prepare relevant measures.

At worst, he would walk into the castle himself, or simply return to commuting on his mount within the territory. Movement efficiency was important, but safety and privacy were even more important.

Due to the influence of the mysterious palace, Zong Shen cannot test its effect personally for the time being. He can only store it in the storage compartment first and wait to try it later.

The next item is a skill book.

Speaking of which, Zong Shen himself had not seen such items for a long time.

This skill book is not thick, about the length of two palms.

There is a faint golden light shining on the cover, which is not conspicuous, but only highlights its preciousness. On it are written "Spiritual Vision" and four large characters in the common language of the human race in the Endless Continent.

Other than that, there are no patterns or patterns.

Just seeing the cover, Zong Shen knew that this thing must be a skill book produced by the lord system, rather than the classics used by aborigines to learn and master magic and combat skills.

The former can be used directly and quickly without spending any energy. As long as it meets the usage requirements, you can directly master the skill.

Of course, the skill level you just learned is LV1. You need to activate this skill to increase the skill level, or directly use the [Skill Experience Book] to quickly upgrade.

The Aboriginal classics are different. They need to be truly learned and understood, and then mastered through repeated practice.
