Chapter Ninety-Two: Heading to the Trading Hall to Purchase a Silver-Tier Set

Yang Feng found several tasks at the university’s trade hall, most of which involved collecting beast materials. He handed in the materials he had acquired and received a total of 200 points in return. Earning points through task completion was one of the main ways students at Qingbei University accumulated points.

Afterward, Yang Feng made his way to the Daxia Trade Hall. He sold all his remaining items there. He hadn't considered auctioning them—since the price difference wasn’t significant, he didn’t want the hassle. With that time, he’d rather clear more dungeons. Silver-tier equipment was more valuable than bronze-tier, and with several pieces of bronze and silver gear plus some materials, he earned a total of 500,000 Daxia credits.

Yang Feng’s total assets now stood at 700,000 Daxia credits, and his points had reached 150,000. Because he had refreshed his dungeon clear record twice, his points had actually increased rather than decreased. Yang Feng wandered around the Daxia Trade Hall once more, but found nothing he needed.

In the end, Yang Feng spent 700,000 Daxia credits to purchase seven beginner skill books. “Seven skill books might still not be enough,” he murmured to himself, and headed to the university’s trade hall. There, beginner skill books were also for sale, priced at about 1,000 points each. With an exchange rate of one point to one hundred Daxia credits, each book cost about 100,000 credits. After some thought, Yang Feng bought ten more, spending 10,000 points.

“Seventeen beginner skill books should be enough,” he thought. After buying the books, he browsed other items. Some equipment was not available at the Daxia Trade Hall. He soon spotted a silver-tier weapon called the Sword of Divinity.

The Sword of Divinity wasn’t a weapon dropped from dungeons but was forged by an artificer known as Master Iron. Artificers were support professionals specializing in crafting equipment for adventurers.

[Item: Sword of Divinity]
[Tier: Silver]
[Effect: +500 Spirit]
[Requirement: Usable by professionals level 20 and above]
[Artificer: Master Iron]

There were no other bonuses—just a substantial increase in spirit by fifty percent. Compared to other silver-tier equipment, the Sword of Divinity seemed somewhat lackluster. Thus, most mage-type professionals wouldn’t choose to buy it. Among silver-tier weapons, the Sword of Divinity was something of an oddity; only certain support professions like Seers, who needed vast reserves of spirit, would consider it.

Yang Feng’s spirit was already at 1,500. With skill amplification, it could reach 1,800. Summoning a single silver-tier Crow Warrior consumed about 600 spirit. Originally, Yang Feng could only summon three at a time, but with the Sword of Divinity, he could summon a fourth. The higher his spirit, the faster his recovery. Most importantly, the power of his Fireball skill increased with his spirit. So, boosting his spirit was essentially enhancing his abilities.

For Yang Feng, the Sword of Divinity was more practical than other silver-tier weapons. Priced at 4,000 points, it was more expensive than its counterparts, but Yang Feng didn’t hesitate. He bought it directly. After spending 4,000 points, a beautiful white longsword appeared in his hand. Instantly, his spirit rose to 2,000. He could feel a surge of spiritual energy flowing from the sword into his body.

In less than half an hour, Yang Feng had spent over 10,000 points. He had 140,000 left—seemingly a lot, but it was disappearing quickly. As for gold-tier weapons and equipment, each cost at least ten thousand points. Even with 2,000 spirit, it wasn’t enough, so Yang Feng kept searching for more gear.

“What’s this?” he soon wondered, as he found a robe for mage-type professionals.

[Item: Robe of Divinity]
[Tier: Silver]
[Effect: +300 Spirit]
[Requirement: Usable by mage-type professionals level 20 and above]
[Artificer: Master Iron]
[Description: This item is part of a set]

It turned out that this, too, was forged by Master Iron and only boosted spirit. Soon, Yang Feng noticed the item’s final description—it was part of a set. He was surprised. He remembered his teacher in high school once lecturing about sets: rare equipment collections that, when complete, granted extra bonuses.

The Robe of Divinity was priced at 3,000 points—a thousand less than the Sword of Divinity. Without hesitation, Yang Feng purchased it. He didn’t worry about the cost; he had enough points for now. Soon, the Robe of Divinity was draped over him, and his spirit jumped to 2,300. Checking his attributes, he found no additional bonuses.

It seemed he was still missing a piece of the set. Yang Feng opened his phone and searched for the last piece. The trade hall app on his phone had a search function. Entering “Master Iron” in the search bar, he quickly found another item forged by the master.

[Item: Chain of Divinity]
[Tier: Silver]
[Effect: +300 Spirit]
[Requirement: Usable by mage-type professionals level 20 and above]
[Artificer: Master Iron]
[Description: This item is part of a set]

The Chain of Divinity was priced at 6,000 points—an exorbitant sum for a silver-tier item. Its cost far exceeded other silver-tier equipment, but Yang Feng cared little for the price; completing the set was his priority. Without hesitation, he bought the Chain of Divinity and put it around his neck.

After assembling the set, a faint white glow emanated from him, immediately drawing the attention of others in the trade hall.

“A set? Did someone actually complete a set?”
“That white glow… it must be a silver-tier set!”
“I’ve never heard of any silver-tier sets before.”
“Did you forget the set forged by Master Iron?”
“You mean the one that only boosts spirit?”
“That set has been in the hall for three years!”
“No way, someone really bought it?”
“He must be out of his mind.”
…

The crowd looked at Yang Feng as if he were a fool. Spending nearly 20,000 points on a set that only raised spirit—what else could that be but foolishness? What use was so much spirit? Wouldn’t it be better to have more attack power? Most mage skills weren’t greatly affected by spirit, after all. So they couldn’t understand why Yang Feng would buy such a set.

But Yang Feng didn’t need to explain himself. After putting on the Chain of Divinity, his spirit reached 2,600.
