Chapter 298 Wealthy and Arrogant
Previously, Eric was solely focused on passing the trial, and even when he was promoted to Abyssal Blade, he casually chose a level 20 dark gold weapon.
Crystal Palace, being one of the strongest forces in Divine Realms: Legends, has continued its legacy since the ancient cataclysm.
Just by interacting with the big shots in the Throne of Immortality, Eric had already fully experienced the profound heritage of Crystal Palace.
One can only imagine how rich the treasures within Crystal Palace are.
The Crystal Palace exchange system automatically opens for Divine Realms: Legends players after they achieve the first clear of a hundred-player dungeon. However, just exchanging for an Adamantite Artifact requires extremely high Crystal Palace reputation. In Divine Realms: Legends, Crystal Palace's reputation is notoriously difficult to obtain, let alone reach the reputation needed to exchange for Epic Level items.
If it weren't for this mission, Eric wouldn't have had the chance to exchange for any Epic Level items, and he wouldn't even have seen them, let alone witnessed the Holy Relics he had never seen before.
"I wonder what Holy Relics are in Crystal Palace's treasury," Eric thought with anticipation, selecting to display only Holy Relics in the system menu.
Two Holy Relics were displayed.
One was Flowing Starlight, a two-handed staff, requiring 3000 strength points, 8000 intelligence points, and 200,000 contribution points.
The other was Heavenly Frost Flying Snow, a two-handed spear, requiring 10,000 strength points, 4000 intelligence points, and 250,000 contribution points.
Although he couldn't see the specific attributes, just seeing the required contribution points and the minimum equipment requirements left Eric in awe.
"Can anyone really equip these Holy Relics?" Eric was deeply skeptical.
10,000 strength points were simply earth-shattering, and even at his peak, Eric was far from reaching that.
After looking at the Holy Relics, Eric switched the display to Epic Level.
Immediately, a plethora of items appeared in the system menu, over ten thousand items, and Eric wished he could take them all to enrich the guild warehouse.
If the guild warehouse had so many Epic Level items, not to mention occupying Silvervale City, even dominating Eldoria City wouldn't be a problem, but that was just wishful thinking.
Eric currently had 6800 contribution points, enough to exchange for only one item.
However, finding a suitable item for himself from over ten thousand items was not a simple task.
"Forget about weapons, let's start with armor," Eric thought. He had the Demonic Weapon Abyssal Blade, and the Obsidian Level Infernal Shadeblade in his hand was definitely sufficient. To further enhance his strength, he needed to replace his Dark Iron and Mithril Level equipment.
There were so many pieces of equipment that it was hard to choose.
However, Eric had his eye on a few good chest plates that not only significantly increased strength and agility attributes but also provided some intelligence boosts, which was exactly what Eric needed.
The equipment levels ranged from level 20 to 80 and could be upgraded to level 100 Epic Level equipment.
One was called Purple Fire Armor, requiring 5000 contribution points, primarily boosting strength with some intelligence.
Another was called Ruthless, requiring 5300 contribution points, primarily boosting agility with some intelligence.
The last one was called Bloodlight Chestplate, requiring 6000 contribution points, with balanced strength, agility, and intelligence attributes, and a design that Eric really liked.
However, after buying it, it would be impossible to exchange it for any other equipment.
"Let's look at other things first."
Eric thought for a moment and then clicked to view accessories, with a minimum equipment requirement of level 20. Crystal Palace's contribution points were very precious and had to be used wisely.
After browsing for a while, Eric suddenly saw something very familiar.
Stargate Ring.
However, this Stargate Ring was more advanced, being an Epic Level item, far superior to the Dark Iron Level Stargate Ring, capable of storing two thousand slots of items, and requiring 4500 contribution points.
But using an Epic Level item for this purpose was too extravagant, and Eric was reluctant to buy it.
"Isn't this the legendary ring? How is it among the Epic Level items?" Eric then saw another familiar name.
Ring of Seven Luminaries.
Eric had done some research on the history of Divine Realms: Legends. The Ring of Seven Luminaries was crafted by the ancient deity, the Goddess of Dawn, and it sealed seven incredibly powerful forces. Each of these forces was comparable to divine power, and mastering all seven would grant even a mortal the power to destroy the world. It was said that the legendary Godslayer Title was achieved by wearing this ring, which granted the power to slay ancient deities.
"Could it be a replica?" Eric didn't believe that the Ring of Seven Luminaries in Crystal Palace was the genuine article.
Because Epic Level items didn't possess world-destroying power, not even Holy Relics could achieve that. From what Eric knew, the Ring of Seven Luminaries was a divine artifact.
But even a replica would be extremely rare.
A replica, in essence, was a weakened version. While it couldn't destroy the world, it would still retain its essential functions, just with varying degrees of power.
Eric checked the contribution points again, and it required 8000 points, comparable to half a legendary item fragment.
"Are you kidding me? Is this brand effect?"
Eric couldn't help but curse Crystal Palace for being too greedy. It was just a replica, yet it required 8000 points, while other Epic Level rings only required up to 6000 points.
"8000 points of contribution, it seems I can't exchange for it." Eric was tempted, but with only 6800 points, he could only sigh.
After browsing for a long time, Eric finally decided to exchange for the Bloodlight Chestplate. As for the Ring of Seven Luminaries, he would have to save up for it later.
System: Exchange Bloodlight Chestplate, requires 6000 contribution points, current contribution points 6800, do you want to exchange?
Eric immediately selected yes.
System: Detected that the player's Crystal Palace reputation has reached 3000 points. You can use gold coins to pay for 20% of the contribution points. Do you want to choose a gold coin payment?
"No way, there's a gold coin payment benefit?" Eric was delighted, feeling hopeful about exchanging for the Ring of Seven Luminaries.
1200 contribution points required 1800 gold coins, meaning one contribution point equaled 1 gold 50 silver, which was much more expensive than buying Epic Level items on the market.
An Epic Level item on the market cost around a thousand gold.
6000 contribution points would be equivalent to nine thousand gold, eight to nine times more expensive than the market price, a significant markup.
But for Eric, the opportunity was rare, and if he could use gold coins to pay for part of the contribution.
Eric was naturally very willing.
Eric then chose to exchange for the Ring of Seven Luminaries.
20% of 8000 contribution points was 1600 points, which equaled 3200 gold coins.
Ordinary players would be thrilled to have a few silver coins, and having twenty or thirty silver coins would be considered wealthy. Gold coins were something they probably had never seen.
On the market, gold coins could be exchanged for credit points at a ratio of one to ten thousand.
3200 gold coins were equivalent to over three million credit points. Even a top-tier guild wouldn't spend three million credit points on an Epic Level item, let alone three thousand gold coins.
Rosewater would definitely call Eric a "spendthrift."
But Eric didn't hesitate, spending most of the five thousand gold coins he had, which were originally meant for buying a stall in Eldoria City. Now, buying a stall was out of the question.
After the exchange, Eric had a purple-gold crystal ring in his hand, embedded with seven different gemstones, emitting a faint purple aura, looking incredibly luxurious and mesmerizing.
