Equipment Effect (Unique): When summoning creatures, the Charm Attribute's bonus to summoned units is increased by 10%.

Description: I am willing to silently guard by your side until my consciousness fades — Your Maid, Ruisi.
Selling Price: Cannot be sold after equipping.
...
This is a pendant for the Summoning System. Generally, equipment related to the Summoning System is hard to find buyers for, but once a suitable buyer is found, it can sell for a high price.
The chest got off to a good start, which put Su Xiao in a good mood. He picked up the chest dropped by the Immortal One, who also used a blade. If something came out of it, he would most likely be able to use it.
[You have opened the chest 7%.]
[You have obtained Masterless Blade (Holy Spirit Rank Weapon).]
...
A rust-covered long blade appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This was the weapon of the Immortal One, likely forged by a blacksmith. Its name was quite interesting: [Masterless Blade].
The Immortal One left behind no deeds—just a name carved on a stone pillar, a broken body, and a rust-covered long blade. Born for slaughter, died for redemption. That was all there was to the Immortal One.
Although [Masterless Blade] was rusted, it was a Holy Spirit Rank long blade with a rating as high as 915 points. Su Xiao stored the blade in his storage space; this weapon could not be sold.
Only three chests remained, all of which were the main event. The chests from the Archbishop and Qisi had high value, and the final growth-type equipment chest might also bring surprises. If a white-quality growth-type equipment came out, that would be a fortune.
Growth-type equipment was not necessarily better with a higher initial quality. Su Xiao had long noticed this. Growth-type equipment with too high an initial quality either had harsh growth conditions or was somewhat inexplicable.
White-quality growth-type equipment had one advantage: the growth conditions were simple and straightforward. As long as resources were sufficient, it could be upgraded to a very high quality in no time.
Setting aside the growth-type chest for now, Su Xiao opened Qisi's chest.
[You have opened a Holy Spirit Rank Chest (21%).]
[You have obtained Redemption Vow (Blue Quality Equipment / Holy Spirit Rank Vow Item).]
[Redemption Vow]
Origin: Doom Town
Quality: Blue / Holy Spirit Rank
Category: Bracelet / Holy Spirit Rank Vow Item
Durability: 7/23
Equipment Requirement: Redemption Church Reputation above 18,000 points, Agility Attribute 15 points or more.
Equipment Effect: Blood Wine (Passive): Slightly increases health recovery speed.
Note: Due to the Hunter's high Endurance Attribute, this effect cannot be applied.
Item Effect: If this bracelet is brought to the Redemption Church in Doom Town, it can establish initial trust with the blacksmith inside the church, who will forge equipment for you free of charge.
Note: There are currently two important personnel in the Redemption Church: the Blacksmith and the Serpent Sisters.
Rating: 1000 points (Holy Spirit Rank items range from 700 to 1000 points.)
Description: Friendship lasts forever.
Price: 627,000 Paradise Coins.
...
Seeing the attributes of [Redemption Vow], Su Xiao nodded thoughtfully. The Serpent Sisters had likely reformed... ahem, they should have defected to the Redemption Church and were now acting as substitutes for the Saintess.
As for the Saintess's whereabouts, she had probably left Doom Town to travel through the Light and Dark Continent. Although the Saintess seemed quiet, she actually had a heart that yearned for freedom and was curious about new things.
Su Xiao had killed the Archbishop, Qisi, and the Resentful Orphan, and had also burned the Ancient God's vessel. At that time, the darkness surging around Doom Town had nearly dissipated, presenting an opportunity to leave Doom Town.
The value of [Redemption Vow] was hard to estimate; it depended on how it was used. If used well, luring the blacksmith into Reincarnation Paradise would bring endless benefits. Just like Lide, who, after arriving in Reincarnation Paradise, established a long-term cooperative relationship with Su Xiao, benefiting both parties.
Thus, in the eyes of those in the know, the value of [Redemption Vow] exceeded that of a full-rated Holy Spirit Rank equipment.
Getting good items in a row made Su Xiao a bit uneasy. He picked up the Archbishop's chest. For some reason, a hint of apprehension arose in his heart, and the feeling that his luck was about to run out grew stronger.
The chest opened, and a blinding light flashed. It was a flash!
[You have opened a Holy Spirit Rank Chest (35%).]
[You have obtained Divine Bone (Holy Spirit Rank).]
[You have obtained Ancient God Soul Blood (???).]
[You have obtained Dark Confession (Skill Scroll · Active Type).]
[Dark Confession]
Type: Skill Scroll · Ancient God Exclusive Skill
Prerequisite: True Endurance Attribute 95 points, True Intelligence Attribute 164 points, Willpower 83 points or more.
Skill Effect: Forms a Dark Domain, lightly suppressing all enemies within a 10-meter radius, dealing 32 points of erosion damage + 12 points of True Damage per second.
Note: The Dark Domain will persist. Only by passing all three judgments of Willpower, Endurance, and Intelligence can this suppression effect be lifted.
Dark Wandering: To be developed.
Original Sin: To be developed.
Dark Convergence: To be developed.
Note: This ability has been converted. It can be released by consuming Mana Points, Dark Energy, etc. The consumption will vary based on the skill level, starting at Lv.1.
...
Seeing this scroll, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. He had actually obtained the Archbishop's ability. Back then, the Archbishop had faced three opponents alone precisely because of the powerful suppression of Dark Confession.
The current Dark Confession was very weak; it needed to be raised to around Lv.70 to reach the Archbishop's level. The Archbishop's Dark Confession dealt 4,300 points of erosion damage + 530 points of True Damage per second and restricted mobility.
When the Archbishop used Dark Confession, it also had effects like Dark Wandering, Original Sin, and Dark Convergence, making it very difficult to get close to him.
Putting away the Dark Confession skill scroll, Su Xiao already had one piece of Holy Spirit Rank [Divine Bone]. He could just store it; after collecting three, he could synthesize [Divine Miracle].
The use of [Ancient God Soul Blood (???)] was unknown. This was left behind by that powerful Ancient God, and caution was needed when studying its effects.
Only one chest remained, the growth-type chest. Su Xiao pondered for a moment and decided not to open it for now. He would wait until the Lucky King state ended before opening it, aiming to get a white-quality growth-type equipment.
"Bubu."
"Woof."
Su Xiao tossed the Seven Stars' Scarlet Card to Bubu Wang. He wasn't very interested in the Scarlet Card; what it could produce was too random, and it might end up being a bulk deal.
Bubu Wang excitedly activated the Scarlet Card. A blood-red vortex appeared, offering three draws. Judging by its expression, it was clearly determined to prove that the Scarlet Card could also yield good items.
Half a minute later, Bubu Wang lay on the bed.
"Phew~"
Bubu let out a long sigh, its dog face full of insights into dog life. Who would have thought that the murderous Killing Bee had a hobby of cosplay.
"Phew~"
Bubu Wang sighed again, successfully going into seclusion.
Ignoring the self-isolating Bubu Wang, Su Xiao waited for the Lucky King state to end before decisively opening the last chest.
