Chapter 721. Ring Of Heroism
Once Jack exchanged for the divine gem, he had only 33,570 scores left. He now went back to the list and looked for items that he could afford with this amount.
During his previous observations, he saw several unique-grade equipment. This equipment required scores ranging from 25,000 to 55,000. There were also unique-grade weapons, which cost 45,000 to 85,000 scores. Unique grade accessories were also available, ranging from 30,000 to 80,000 scores.
With his remaining scores, no chance for him to get a unique-grade weapon. He could only select from the cheapest portion of equipment or accessories.
After some thinking, he decided to go for the accessory. He just got Sword Fiend set equipment, if he took one unique equipment and equipped it, he would lose the benefit of Sword Fiend's full set. Additionally, his two rings were still both rare-grade. It's time to replace one of them.
After making some selections, he used his scores to exchange for a ring that cost 30,000 scores. His remaining scores he used to get another Recall Plate. This plate only cost 3,000 scores and was a rare-grade item but it was lumped together amongst the unique-grade items. Red Death recognized the plate, it was the same as the one Jack had given her but she still didn't understand the use. The description of the item didn't say much.
Jack reviewed the ability of the unique ring he had just gotten.

Jack replaced his Recovery Ring with this new Ring of Heroism. He then admired the new ring on his finger. As he did so, Leavemealone spoke from the side, "Are you done? If so, step aside!"
"Oh, sorry!" Jack immediately moved aside so Leavemealone could use the selection interface.
"Master, please. You first," Leavemealone said to Domon.
'Damn it! He is so rude to me but so courteous to my gramps,' Jack thought annoyingly.
Domon accepted his disciple's offer. He went and scrolled the selection. Jack came to his side, which earned a glare from Leavemealone.
"What? I'm going to help him choose. He will be clueless otherwise," Jack uttered with annoyance.
"Afei, where is that universal something that you said we should get?" Domon asked.
"Ah, no need to worry about that," Jack said. Jeanny had said she would get the book. She would just copy it for Domon later. Jack had seen something more suitable for Domon and it was the right amount for his scores. "Take this one," Jack said as he helped Domon scroll the list.
"King of Beast bloodline?" Domon read the item Jack recommended. It cost 30,000 scores.
"Yeah, it's a super rare grade bloodline," Jack said.
Most of the bloodlines that Jeanny had asked their guild members to look around the Sangrod Empire were all rare grades. They couldn't find any super rare grade. Jack had only seen one bloodline that was super rare grade in the exclusive exchange list of the Hunters Association's gold hall, which cost an insane amount of hunter points. Although this King of Beast bloodline was the same grade as that one, Jack had a feeling this bloodline was a much better one. Hence, he proposed for his grandfather to get it. Otherwise, there was no telling when they could get a super rare bloodline again.
Domon followed Jack's suggestion. He used his scores to exchange for that bloodline. However, he didn't use it immediately. Jack had sent him a silent message to keep it first and to give it to Jeanny. If possible, they should make a copy as well.
After Domon, Leavemealone went next. He chose the same item as Domon, King of Beast Bloodline. Jack didn't know if he did that out of respect for Domon or if he truly wanted that item. He had more scores than Domon, so even after getting the bloodline, he still had a decent amount of scores. He used it to get the Universal Technique Book Jack had mentioned before.
"What standard skill are you going to get with that book?" Jack asked him.
"None of your business," Leavemealone said crudely.
"Haon, you can only choose one skill. You should choose wisely," Domon said.
"Yes, master. I plan to choose the Beast Form skill from the Beastmaster class. What do you think?" Leavemealone replied.
"If I may give my opiniona?|"
"No one is asking for yours," Leavemealone cut Jack's words curtly.
'@#$*a?| F*ck this asshole!' Jack cursed within.
"Hma?| That will enhance your physical prowess, I think it is a good pick," Domon gave his opinion.
"It is a good one, take it from this expert who has had the experience of using that skill," Jet said. "your martial art capability will be improved even further when you transformed."
"I see. Thank you for your input, senior Jet," Leavemealone replied.
"So polite. You are a good lad, unlike somebody," Jet said.
Jack, '@#$*'
Jet was next. He browsed the selection. Jack tried to give his opinion but Jet shooed him away. After some while, Jet made his choice.
Instead of an item, he chose a pet egg. The pet was called Crimson-maned Lion, a medium-sized rare elite pet that cost 20,000 scores. His bear pet was only elite grade, now that he found a much better one, he did not hesitate to replace it.
Jack found it weird for a lion to be born out of an egg. But then again, his Therras also didn't look like the type of creature that came out of an egg. He guessed the egg was the game system to let pet owners get their pets without the hassle of taming process. Jet had no more scores to get the universal technique book, but it should be fine. Now that he was also part of their guild, he would get one once Jeanny made enough copies.
Jet moved away from the selection list and Paytowin came forward. After careful consideration, he inputted his selection. A glowing large metallic ball appeared on his hand.
"What is that?" Jack asked.
"It's a power core for a techno golem," Peniel was the one who answered. " Techno golem consisted of many different parts. A power core can be said to be its most important part, its heart. Most of its attributes came from this power core, some high rarity cores also give the techno golem access to an additional skill."
"Yeah, this one is a unique grade core, its name is Power Core of Courage. My Brave King will become even stronger with this!" Paytowin exclaimed.
"I think that will be the case," Peniel agreed. "Your techno golem is around special elite grade, but with this power core, it should have power rivaling rare elite monster."
"I spent twenty thousand scores and get a rare elite helper, you spent thirty thousand scores and get the same grade. Doesn't seem fair, does it?" Jet commented.
"What do you know? A techno golem had the potential to become stronger with different parts," Peniel argued. "If he assembles all his golem with unique grade parts, its strength will rival a mythical-grade pet."
Jeanny made her selection next. As planned, she got the universal technique book. After that, her points were not enough to get any of the higher rarity goods, so she just spent her scores to get two super rare accessories.
Red Death went next, she used all her scores to get one of the cheapest unique equipment. A pair of light armor boots. It was even red in color, complementing her name. She was now the first one to wear a piece of unique-grade equipment. Jack asked if he could check the boots' specs, to which Red Death asked him to buzz off.
Since their scores were limited, Grace and Giant Steve did the same as Jeanny, picking up the universal technique book before spending her remaining scores on a couple of super rare accessories.
The last was Mihos, who unexpectedly closed the selection display.
"You are not going to take anything?" Jack asked. "The scores cannot carry over to the next run, can it?"
"I've done this ancient battleground countless times," Mihos replied. "I can't get the unique or legendary items nor do I have an interest in the other meager goods. I'm just joining this run to see how you outworlders fight."
Since Mihos had closed the selection interface, the system considered all of them had completed their exchange. They were then transported back to the hall with the device. Callan and Pallas were still there.
"How do you all fare?" Callan asked.
"We all got good stuff!" Jack uttered.
Jeanny was more courtly. She said, "Thank you for allowing us to use this facility, your holiness."
The others followed and thanked the divine priest after seeing Jeanny's lead.
"You are welcomed," Callan replied. "Now, I don't want to be rude, but as you know, our place does not welcome outsiders. You can stay and enjoy our gardens for the rest of the night, but I'm afraid I must ask you to leave before midnight. The zone portal chamber will allow you to go back to your countries."
Everyone felt it was a pity they had to leave, especially Jeanny. She desperately needed the mana cores produced from this ancient battleground. She had checked just now using her divine skill. The universal technique book was a super-rare grade technique book, it cost 1,000 mana cores to copy. While the King of Beast bloodline cost 2,600 mana cores to copy, around the cost of copying a unique technique book. While the divine gem cost 1,200 mana cores.
The 4,600 mana cores they had collected were not even enough to copy each of these items once!
