CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53 ALMOST DIDN’T REACT! (3/5)_1

The first ability alone was so powerful that Chen Mo dared not even imagine the strength of the remaining two.

He immediately looked at the second ability.

〖Death Imprisonment〗: Units you kill cannot be resurrected (except through the unit’s own innate resurrection abilities).

A pure killing skill! Truly worthy of the Ring of Death.

〖Resurrection of the Dead〗: 3/3. Upon your own death, you can consume 1 point of stored Energy to resurrect yourself. Upon the death of another, you can consume 3 points of stored Energy to resurrect them. Energy recovers at a rate of 1 point every 24 hours (recovery speed is unaffected by any haste effects). Resurrection Level: SSS!

Resurrection skills had different grades, corresponding to the integrity of the corpse.

An F-Class resurrection skill required the corpse to be more than 90% intact for resurrection. In other words, bringing back a few severed limbs was useless; the majority of the original body was required.

The SSS-level, however, disregarded integrity; you could perform a resurrection with just a tiny piece of flesh.

Of course, the time limit for resurrection was also 24 hours. Once death had exceeded 24 hours, not even gods could save the deceased. Perhaps only a divine-grade resurrection ability could achieve that. Currently, no resurrection ability of this caliber had appeared; it existed only in speculation.

Therefore, an SSS-level resurrection was currently the most powerful type of resurrection ability available.

As an Artifact-level Equipment, it was only natural for Chen Mo’s Ring of Death to possess top-tier resurrection capabilities. It was an accessory-type item with no level or class requirements. Its attributes wouldn’t offer significant combat bonuses but would primarily provide various resistances.

The three resistance abilities granted by the Ring of Death were incredibly potent, and the three additional special effects were formidable, to say the least. Whether it was the Instant Kill Attack, powerful curses, the prevention of resurrection, or the SSS-level resurrection ability, each one taken alone was an incredibly overpowered ability. All of them combined truly justified the "Bound" status of the item.

It is said that bound equipment either possesses higher attributes than unbound equipment or has more affixes. And this was indeed the case.

After slipping on the ring, concealing its artifact glow, and hiding its attributes, Chen Mo now appeared quite ordinary. No one would imagine that this plainly dressed individual was wearing equipment worth a king’s ransom.

After calming himself, Chen Mo transformed into a young woman with the air of a superior. This was a persona based on a movie character from his previous life. Since it wasn’t unusual for Professionals to wear any type of clothing, Chen Mo chose a white outfit he found appealing for his transformation. Before setting out, he tested his voice, which perfectly matched his intended feminine persona. Only then did he revert to his usual appearance and leave.

Naturally, he wouldn’t leave home directly in disguise; that would defeat the entire purpose of the transformation. After traveling a fair distance from his home, he found a secluded spot to change his appearance.

Once everything was ready, he, now in the guise of a young woman who herself adopted a rather masculine, devil-may-care style, was dressed in white. Casually twirling a fan, he arrived at the Myriad Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

The receptionist at the Myriad Heaven Chamber of Commerce glanced at Chen Mo. At first, it was difficult to determine their gender. The face was more feminine, yet the chest appeared flat. This person exuded a striking, heroic aura, clearly no ordinary individual. The receptionist immediately hurried over to welcome them.

"Ahem... Honored guest, how may I assist you?"

Still unable to determine their gender, the receptionist addressed them simply as "honored guest."

This was Chen Mo’s first time entering the Myriad Heaven Chamber of Commerce building. He couldn’t help but take a closer look around. The building’s architecture was in a very traditional Chinese style. Inside, the decor was opulent. The pillars were crafted from precious Nanmu wood, each entwined with a golden dragon, exuding an imposing and majestic aura. As for the merchandise displays, each cabinet was artfully arranged with various antique porcelain pieces, complemented by screens adorned with poetry and paintings serving as backdrops, further enhancing the refined, high-class atmosphere.

Chen Mo, in his traditional, aristocratic youth attire, did not seem out of place in the slightest.

"I’d like to sell a few items first. Could you find someone to appraise them?"

"Selling items? Certainly. This way, please."

The receptionist quickly and courteously led Chen Mo to a nearby counter. Behind the counter, an elderly man was appraising a collection of items.

"This is Elder Rui, our four-star Lifestyle Profession Appraiser. Elder Rui’s valuations are generally very accurate. If you have any items you wish to sell, you can show them to him."

Chen Mo nodded and dumped two pieces of golden equipment, two yellow Skill Books, and two rare-quality items on the counter before Elder Rui.

"Level 20 golden equipment... hmm, not bad, not bad at all. The attributes on these two pieces are quite sought-after; they’ll sell easily and fetch a good price! Each can be valued at 6,000,000. If you were willing to sell them yourself and take your time, you could likely get 8,000,000 for each."

"No need. Your valuation is fine."

"These two Skill Books are also excellent—highly practical and in great demand. Each can be valued at 3,000,000 without a problem."

"As for these two items, they both have standard market prices. The ’Delicious Fruit’ typically sells for 1,000,000, so our purchase price would be 900,000. This invitation, however, has become quite scarce recently, and we’re completely sold out. We can offer double its original purchase price, so 1,600,000 for it."

Since he had come to the Chamber of Commerce to sell items, Chen Mo naturally understood that they wouldn’t acquire anything if there wasn’t a profit margin for them. Seeing that Elder Rui’s offers were quite fair, Chen Mo had no intention of haggling.

"Very well, let’s go with your prices."

"Excellent. We’ll transfer the funds to you right away." Elder Rui then prepared to ask for Chen Mo’s account details.

Suddenly, a voice cut in from nearby, "Wait! I’ll take that invitation for 2,500,000!"

Chen Mo turned to see a girl about his own age. The girl was more cute than pretty, with a round face, large eyes, and fair, delicate skin. Her physique, however, seemed somewhat underdeveloped, giving her a distinctly loli-like appearance.

"Sister, please sell me this invitation for 2,500,000!"

Hearing himself addressed as ’Sister,’ Chen Mo almost failed to react. Remembering his current disguise as a young woman, he managed an awkward smile and said, "I’ve already agreed to sell it to this gentleman. You can try buying it from them."

"Once it’s in their hands, it’ll go straight to auction! The last one they had, just the day before yesterday, started at a base price of 1,000,000 and ended up being sold for 10,000,000 after a bidding war! That rotten kid from the Zhao Family snatched it from me! It makes me so mad!" As she spoke of the auction, the girl grew visibly agitated, her small face puffing up with anger.

"Sister, you haven’t taken their money yet, right? Please, just do me this favor and sell it to me for 2,500,000! I only need this last piece to complete my set. Please? My proficiency exam is the day after tomorrow!"
