The clan badge was an item that Lin Rui obtained on the first day, actually not a strategic treasure, just a characteristic item.

Its effectiveness relies on a massive quantity to stack effects. As for the individual effects of the badge, they all depend on the grade of the embedded gem, the higher the gem tier, the stronger the badge effect. The effect of Tier Five Spiritual Gem is to enhance 500 points of Spiritual Energy Value, 1000 points of Life Value, and a whopping 150 points of Spiritual Defense Value.

Even if a common farmer dons this spiritually powerful clan badge, they could surpass the hardness of a Tier One Excellence Level Knight, nearly comparable to Tier Two. This level of enhancement is enough to astonish in any territory.

The power of this badge is beyond question, Soro said: "Lord, follow your will. This is the only Tier Five Spiritual Gem in the territory, it requires your individual allocation."

Upon hearing, Audrey immediately leaned over and patted her heaving chest, saying: "Me, me, me! Dear Papa, don’t you think the brightest badge in the territory suits being worn on my most elegant curve? No one is more suited to wear this badge than me!"

A violent aftershock hit, and countless muscle bullies in the territory instantly felt their blood boil, their eyes widened. In the fervor of the blood surge, many felt a bit hot around the nose.

Lin Rui also felt somewhat intensely shaken in this aftershock, it seemed this silly girl after all this time of fighting, her Charm had increased again. Her elegant curves made one’s heart tremble.

"Why do you, a ranged apostle, need this badge? I think Violet as a close combat knight is more suitable for it."

"No way!" Hearing this, Audrey jumped on Lin Rui, directly snatching the badge and hanging it in front of her majestic curve.

Once hung in this position, she confirmed no one would try to snatch it from here, then chuckled and said: "I don’t care whether this badge is strong or not. The key is that this badge is unique to show my position under only one person in the territory."

With her saying this, Lin Rui didn’t insist any further with her.

Obviously, with the rapid increase in the strength of the territory, strong individuals were like clouds, even Lord-level and Epic-level soldiers existed. In spite of being in the first echelon among Heroic Spirits, she subconsciously felt pressure from others.

Previously, she didn’t need such external items to prove she was the second in command in the territory.

A difference of a few hundred points in Life Value with a badge is no big deal given the territory’s powerful military. The Gulper, oh no, the Knight King can eat a few Life Fruits to compensate.

So Lin Rui stood up and said to her: "The badge is yours, now bring your summoned creatures and help me send the Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouch to the Goddess Pendulum."

Audrey immediately got up, snapped her fingers, and called out her summoned creatures. She then followed Lin Rui closely, poking her head out and asking Lin Rui: "Why do you keep making my summoned creatures carry stuff again? Lord, what exactly is this Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouch made from on the monster? Why have you never stored it in your personal space? But instead, let others carry it around, choosing trouble over convenience?"

With her silly mind, it’s evident she would never guess which part of the monster this is made from.

Lin Rui decisively ignored her inquiry; after all, given her nature, she wouldn’t stick to finding the truth anyway. If you ignore her, soon enough her attention will shift elsewhere.

If you were to tell her the truth, she might just bother Lin Rui for days on end.

Sure enough, she soon shifted her attention, chuckled, and said: "Lord, the gods have already withdrawn, so it means that Lucky Lady, no longer has surveillance tonight. Can we... hehehe tonight?"

Lin Rui frowned slightly, not because of this woman’s silly laugh, but because of the former part of her sentence.

The gods have detached, unable to easily project influence like before.

This does have a considerable impact on the Golden Pansy Domain.

The Goddess worshipped in the Golden Pansy Domain is not particularly powerful, unable to maintain her projection on the Golden Pansy Domain in times of difficulty.

Yet the Golden Pansy Domain needs frequent Krypton Gold enhancement beneath the Goddess Pendulum.

Lacking the absolute success rate guarantee of a household wife, now the Krypton Gold purely relies on probability.

He stood before the pendulum, took a deep breath, and commanded: "Begin, put all the items up. Chosen One, even without divine intervention, still has destiny on his side."

The first to be placed were twenty-three [Logistic Item: Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouches], Lin Rui, expressionless, chose to enhance all sacrificial items three times at once.

The Goddess Pendulum is the ultimate gold devourer.

Just the first common enhancement consumed two thousand and three hundred units of resources of all categories. It costs the same as a bronze treasure chest.

But the second enhancement soared directly to twenty-three thousand units of resources of all categories! Moreover, the success probability was only 50%. This already matched the recruitment scroll enhancement cost, but the success rate instantly halved. The conditions for enhancing logistical items are unmistakably more demanding.

It can be said that this sacred building, when placed in other territories, makes explorers terrified to use it.

But Lin Rui chose to enhance them all at once.

Golden light flashed, and the territory’s resources flowed away rapidly like water. In the blink of an eye, twenty-eight thousand units of resources vanished. A total of nearly fifteen thousand units of resources disappeared in a second.

Ordinary explorers who see this scene might have their eyeballs pop out.

However, Lin Rui’s lips curled into a smile. This success rate isn’t just fifty percent; it’s already infinitely close to eighty percent!

Audrey also gaped in astonishment, standing beside Lin Rui, tugging at his overcoat, poking her head out to scan around doubtfully, asking: "Lord, has Lucky Lady that green tea really withdrawn? How come her success rate is so absurdly high here!"

Lin Rui smiled and asked: "Isn’t it good that the Goddess continues to bless the territory?"

"Good? It’s a bad omen, alright? That woman’s personality is vile and voyeuristic. Who knows how many of my good things she’s messed up."

Lin Rui smiled quietly, not explaining further to her. If punishment is unknown, then deterrence is incalculable, with the Goddess intimidating her, at least she wouldn’t dare act too wildly at night.

Otherwise, who knows what she’ll do without restraint at night.

Subsequently, Lin Rui opted to continue with the enhancement.

In the third wave of enhancement, each Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouch cost as much as ten thousand units of resources of all categories!

Just this once, enhancing consumed all kinds of materials totaling two hundred and thirty thousand.

The Chosen One’s strong efficacy directly exploded, setting Luck Level to a fixed increase of four, stubbornly boosting the 10% success probability to about 50%, plus the unique protection effect of Lucky Lady, and Lin Rui’s exceeding ten points in Luck Value, resulting in this wave of enhancement nearly reaching a 60% success rate.

This sight made Audrey exclaim immediately.

It’s genuinely mind-boggling.

Now, she’s uncertain whether Lucky Lady, that green tea, has truly withdrawn or not.
