Heroes' Prison Chapter 76

This time, Huang Yi didn’t exit the game. Blue Gear was considered quite exceptional, and many players might not obtain a piece even after grinding for over a week.

The boss who dropped this Blue Gear was still that Great Gardener, who had nearly become Huang Yi’s arch-enemy. The 10th-floor Great Gardener could use its whip to latch onto tree branches and dodge back and forth, making it very difficult to hit—a tough boss for many players.

However, Huang Yi didn’t engage in much struggle with it, as he promptly activated the Eye of Time to foresee its dodging direction, and without much effort, he killed it, causing the Blue Gear to drop.

Another set! Huang Yi had already found two types of sets in the Tower of Pantheons, one being the previously obtained Jewelry Set and now this Armor Set. But obtaining a full Blue Gear set was significantly harder, given how rare blue equipment was to begin with.

Huang Yi left that place and returned to Thornbush City, intending to reset the secret realm. Only then did he discover that he had exhausted his daily entries into the Tower of Pantheons.

Each player had only ten opportunities per day to enter, and Huang Yi would directly give up and reset if the boss drops were disappointing. Hence, he quickly used up all ten attempts.

For other players, this was an intimidating concept; hardly anyone would grind through all ten entries—too exhausting. And with low drop rates for good gear, most players would only run it once or twice, hoping for luck.

To some extent, the outcome of Huang Yi’s one-day grind equaled what other players might achieve in ten days.

At that moment, the Teleport Plaza in Thornbush City was crowded and noisy.

"Ugh, such bad luck! Worked so hard for three times, and didn’t get any good loot. Wasted my time!" A mage next to Huang Yi complained at this time.

"How many levels can you fight now?" a Swordsman friend of the mage asked.

"I can only fight up to the 10th level, and it’s quite a challenge. I’m level 25 now, and the drop rate at this level is so low. After grinding for a week straight, I haven’t even seen a Green Gear," the mage said dejectedly.

"Don’t look down on Green Gear; there are top-notch pieces, and some are even valued higher than Purple Gear!" the Swordsman retorted with a twist of his mouth.

"Really? Such equipment exists?" The mage expressed surprise, seemingly in disbelief.

Huang Yi became curious upon hearing this conversation. Normally, higher rarity equipment had better attributes, and at the same level, the attributes of a Purple Gear would certainly surpass those of Green Gear by far. It was unlikely for Green Gear to be better than Purple Gear.

"Of course!" the Swordsman nodded confidently. "I’m talking about the legendary Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring!"

"I’ve heard of the Overlord’s Contract Ring, and I have one myself, but what’s an Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring?" The mage was puzzled.

Huang Yi was also somewhat perplexed. The ring he was wearing on his finger was the Overlord’s Contract Ring, but he had never heard of an Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring.

"Let me ask you, how many pieces of Jewelry can one wear?" The Swordsman threw back a question.

"Four pieces! Two rings, one necklace, and one waist pendant. Why?" the mage responded.

"Then have you ever wondered why the set effects of the Overlord’s Contract Set includes a five-piece effect?" The Swordsman asked with a slight smile, posing another question.

"Huh? Let me see... Oh! What’s this all about? There really is a five-piece set effect! I never noticed before. Why is that? Players can only wear four pieces of jewelry, so why does this set have a set effect for five pieces?" the mage suddenly realized.

Seeing the mage’s expression, Huang Yi also checked his Overlord’s Contract Ring and remarkably discovered a five-piece effect—after collecting five pieces of Overlord’s Contract Jewelry, one could equip gear five levels above their own ahead of time.

Huang Yi had been aware of this five-piece set effect but had never thought much of it until now when he realized the conflict between having only four jewelry slots and the five-piece set effect.

"You’re in the dark about this!" the Swordsman said smugly, appearing highly knowledgeable. "Because within the Overlord’s Contract Set is a legendary component—the Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring! A storage ring is something everyone has, just a ring for storing items without any attributes. But the Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring is different; it’s an attribute-bearing storage ring! Countless players have managed to collect just four pieces of Overlord’s Jewelry but have never been able to obtain this final component. The drop rate is incredibly low! It is said that to date, less than a thousand players worldwide have found this ring. Other people’s storage rings have no attributes, but yours would. Wouldn’t such Green Gear surpass Purple Gear?"

"Hmm," the mage nodded in agreement. "Given this, the value of the Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring indeed exceeds that of Purple Gear. For those high-level players who have maxed out their equipment, this ring is even more valuable than Orange Gear!"

"Not just that! With the Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring, you can activate the five-piece set effect and wear gear exceeding your level by five. Imagine being able to equip level 30 gear at level 25. What an advantage would that give you among players of the same level?"
