I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 272-2: Bountiful Harvest from the Easter Egg Chapter, the Greedy Wolf Star Lord Shell (2)

When Lin Xun entered the game again, it was already noon the next day.

[Apostle, you have successfully interpreted the Easter Egg Chapter and obtained the Random Summons Qualification for Easter Egg Chapters!]

[From now on, you will have a chance to receive random summons to Easter Egg Chapters. You can choose to refuse the summons or agree to join other Apostles’ Easter Egg Chapters.]

Usually, it was civilian Apostles and Apostles of the New World who used random summons.

Designated summons required inputting the other party’s soul imprint. Civilian Apostles had very few Book Friends, and some civilian Apostles didn’t even have any Book Friends at all in order to hide their identities.

As for the New World, due to internal rules, members did not reveal their soul imprints to each other, so they usually opted for random summons as well.

In Easter Egg Chapters, an Apostle’s soul imprint would not be displayed publicly. For instance, in the Outer Demon Invasion Chapter, each Apostle was referred to by code names like Greedy Wolf Star Lord or Breaking Army Star Lord.

Lin Xun opened his inventory to look over the four items.

“With rewards this generous, hopefully I’ll be lucky enough to get picked a few more times for random summons.”

First was the reward for the overall interpretation rating…[Star Lord’s Crowned Diadem (Legendary-Grade Item): The ceremonial crown of the Northern Dipper Star Lord, topped with golden extensions and twelve strands of white jade beads hanging in front.]

[By using this item, you may freely choose one blessing from the Seven Star Lords. The effect of that blessing will be massively enhanced, and the blessing state will persist for one entire chapter. Ending the chapter early will not interrupt the blessing.]

Below the item description were the seven blessing effects of the Star Lords. The effects were largely similar to the buff states of the Seven Celestial Palaces, some increased physical or spell damage, some boosted defense or healing…

However, the buffs of the Celestial Pivot Palace and Celestial Sphere Palace had been modified: the former increased stamina (fatigue value), the latter enhanced maximum health.

For Yin Linlin, Shangguan Yu, and the others, having an enhanced Star Lord’s Blessing last an entire chapter would yield an enormous benefit. With this item alone, they could reliably earn an S-grade rating in a main chapter.

If luck was on their side, they might even achieve an S-grade rating in a Nightmare difficulty Chapter.

For Lin Xun himself, the most useful was likely the Blessing of the Wealth Storage Star Lord of the Celestial Measure Palace, which increased monster loot drop rates.

[Golden Tortoise Shell of the Celestial Pivot (Epic+ Grade Item): When the Northern Dipper’s Celestial Pivot takes human form, it becomes the Greedy Wolf Star Lord. In beast form, it is the Golden Tortoise Dragon. This thick tortoise shell is the shell of the Golden Tortoise, containing a trace of extremely faint dragon bloodline, granting it incredible defensive power.]

[By using this item, you will generate a sturdy Golden Tortoise Shell barrier. Before the shell is destroyed, you will not take any damage.]

When he tapped the item description, it triggered the prompt to devour it with the Little Dragonkin’s Hermit Bloodline skill.

The Infernal Game showed that the Little Dragonkin could consume the faint dragon bloodline within the shell to strengthen itself.

Aside from the dragon bloodline, the defensive power of this item wasn’t of much use to Lin Xun.

The Palace Master of Iya could release talisman barriers to block damage. It was just that in this chapter, the Extreme Evil Corrosion debuff had caused all of the Palace Master’s attributes to plummet by more than half, drastically weakening all abilities except shikigami.

But as long as he endured through this chapter, the Palace Master would revive at full power, and the Absolute Barrier Seal of the Ten Directions would become Lin Xun’s strongest defensive technique.

After much hesitation, he tapped the Little Dragonkin’s skill Hermit Bloodline.

[The hidden hermit power deep within your bloodline gradually awakens. The withered bloodline grows unbearably hungry, yearning to devour any remaining dragon-blooded items to strengthen itself.]

[Do you wish to devour Golden Tortoise Shell of the Celestial Pivot (Epic+ Grade Item)?]

[You open your fanged jaws wide toward the heavy tortoise shell. The faint golden blood within it turns into shimmering threads of light that are drawn into your body…]

[Devouring in progress…]

[The horn on your skull thickens further, the fangs at your jaw grow sharper, and the dignified aura of the Hermit Lineage radiates from your shell…]

[Devour successful!]

[This devouring was not enough to upgrade the shell’s quality. Please choose one shell skill to enhance its quality…]

Since the Little Dragonkin’s shell was already Epic+ grade, the Infernal Game did not automatically upgrade the shell like last time but instead offered the option to improve skill quality.

Except for the yokai art The Dreamer Awakens First, which was already Epic+ and could not be upgraded, he could pick any two of the other skills to raise to Epic+.

The Little Dragonkin’s Dark Dragonfire Breath and Hermit’s Descent were both still at Epic grade, while auxiliary skills like Art of Qi Divination and Art of Transformation were only at pitiful Rare+ grade.

After a brief consideration, he chose to upgrade Dark Dragonfire Breath and Hermit’s Descent.

These two skills had very high usage frequency and were the Little Dragonkin’s main offensive methods, while Art of Transformation (which allowed humanoid transformation) and the scouting skill Art of Qi Divination were much lower priority.

[Shell Skill Dark Dragonfire Breath has been upgraded from Epic grade to Epic+ grade!]

[Shell Skill Hermit’s Descent has been upgraded from Epic grade to Epic+ grade!]

[You have become stronger!]

With the already powerful dragon breath and transformation skills newly enhanced, he finished upgrading the Little Dragonkin and looked to the remaining two items.

[Northern Dipper Heaven’s Sword Technique Manual (Legendary-Grade Item): An ancient book. When you open it, no text is visible, but the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper flicker upon its pages. As the seven stars repeatedly flash, they unleash endless sword energy. Ordinary people flipping through this tome would be wounded by the starlit sword gales!]

[After using this item, you will learn the legendary-grade skill Northern Dipper Heaven’s Sword Technique!]

[Northern Dipper Heaven’s Sword Technique (Legendary-Grade Skill): By mastering this skill, you will be able to remotely wield bladed weapons and control them as though they were extensions of your own body.]

[By using this skill, you do not need to charge up, but it will consume 99% of the remaining true essence (stamina) within the shell. You will unleash an unmatched Seven-Star Sword Gale that will annihilate any enemies targeted by the blade!]

“A legendary-grade ultimate move…”

Using up all your stamina to release a legendary-grade Seven-Star Sword Gale, this was undoubtedly another trump card-level ultimate skill.

A move meant for mutual destruction like this was something most Apostles would probably never dare to use lightly. If you spent 99% of your stamina and still failed to kill the boss, and then took just a couple of more hits, you’d collapse into unconscious exhaustion and have your wandering soul ejected…

But this skill was perfectly suited to an Apostle like Lin Xun who had multiple shells.

Among the advanced shells in his shell slots capable of learning this skill, there were only three: the Earth Giant, the Ninja Master, and the Head of the Ogiwara Clan.

The Ninja Master’s shell had the highest quality, already at legendary-grade, so by rights, it would be the best candidate to learn this skill.

However, the Ninja Master already had the Heaven and Earth Flash innate to the Dragon Jade, a special move attached to a legendary-grade weapon whose power was only slightly weaker than an ordinary legendary-grade skill. Teaching it the Sword Gale would be somewhat redundant.

Moreover, the side effect of this skill was simply too severe. After using it, the shell could no longer be controlled and had to be switched out immediately to avoid collapsing from exhaustion.

“Should I have the one-armed Clan Head learn it and just use that shell as a cannon to fire this attack?”

Lin Xun thought about it for a long time but still couldn’t decide, so he simply looked to the final item.

[Life Soul Casket of the Greedy Wolf Star Lord (Legendary+ Grade Item): A massive casket inlaid with seven Northern Dipper stars. Within it slumbers the life soul of the Greedy Wolf Star Lord.]

[By using this item, you will obtain an unclaimed Star Lord shell!]

[The shell will be generated based on your own Apostle data, creating a Greedy Wolf Star Lord shell with 99% compatibility. The shell’s quality will be determined randomly, ranging from a minimum of Ruined grade to a maximum of Legendary grade!]

[The generated Greedy Wolf Star Lord shell will automatically learn its true name and then randomly acquire between zero and three shell skills.]

[This item has been bound to your soul. It cannot be traded, gifted, discarded, or dropped.]

Lin Xun’s eyes widened as he exclaimed in shock.

“A shell item?!”
