Chapter 1019 - 570: Special-Level Power Fruit, Soul Extraction Bottle [Requesting Monthly Tickets][5K]_3

The effect of this Extraction Bottle amazed Zong Shen.

Speaking of which, he has already seen plenty of equipment with similar extraction capabilities.

These pieces of equipment all have very obvious growth traits.

First, there’s his [Ring of Strength Demon (Red)] and [Chronological Pocket Watch (Red)].

Then there’s the [Theseus’ Slaying Staff (Purple)] used by Favide.

They all possess similar extraction effects.

However, this [Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange)] cannot extract at a distance, nor can it extract automatically.

It only works after defeating an enemy, where you take it out and manually extract from the corpse.

But this isn’t really a drawback.

On the contrary, it’s actually an advantage!

If Zong Shen gets a chance to enter the battlefields of the continent’s indigenous people or the scenes where monsters fight each other, he can totally "pick up corpses."

Directly extracting from those corpses.

From this perspective, the Extraction Bottle’s trait is a big advantage!

And the exchange rate of the [Soul Exchange] is very interesting.

Absorbing a Purple body only yields 125 Soul Extraction Value points.

But to exchange for a Complete Purple Soul, it requires five times the amount, which is 625 points.

Luckily, the extraction value can accumulate up to 5000 points.

During frequent battles, it can be considered an additional way to obtain souls.

The value of a complete soul is beyond doubt; it is currently the only known item that can directly improve the talent of subjects.

Enhancing subjects’ talents, aside from using a Complete Soul, is not easy through other methods.

In the territory, currently, only Marie has improved her talent naturally.

Zong Shen’s analysis suggests it’s because she’s always responsible for internal affairs of the territory.

She keeps reading and learning, so she’s able to increase her talent.

This case remains isolated for now; it can’t be replicated or summarized into a clear path for talent improvement.

Like Korby and Favide, they also often have responsibilities in their own teams.

However, their talents haven’t noticeably improved.

Perhaps this so-called talent is related to administrative capability, but may not be directly associated.

The specific correlation of talent still needs exploration.

Compared to hoping for subjects’ natural talent growth, using a Complete Soul for talent improvement is simpler and more straightforward.

Therefore, the appearance of this [Soul Extraction Bottle] provides an additional way to supplement souls for the territory, greatly aiding in enhancing the overall quality of talent within the territory.

Since the end of the newbie stage, the probability of soul drops has become very low, so acquiring a complete soul is not easy, making the value of this Extraction Bottle self-evident.

However, there’s still a concern about whether the several pieces of equipment with extraction effects can be compatible and extract redundantly.

The known situation is that [Theseus’ Slaying Staff (Purple)] and [Ring of Strength Demon (Red)] cannot extract from the same target.

But the time extraction of the [Chronological Pocket Watch (Red)] can stack with the above effects.

So Zong Shen isn’t sure if the Extraction Bottle will conflict with his [Ring of Strength Demon (Red)].

It requires experiments to figure it out.

If the [Ring of Strength Demon (Red)] also extracts from wandering souls, Zong Shen will have to choose between extracting souls or gaining strength.

"Let’s put it away first, and test it out when we go after the goblins..."

Zong Shen thought about it and put the [Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange)] away first.

Anyway, he plans to launch an expedition against the Goblin Tribe in the coming days.

There will be ample opportunities to test the effect of the Extraction Bottle by then.

Try to exchange for several Complete Purple Souls.

As long as he has Purple Souls, Zong Shen can elevate the talents of those veteran warriors under his command to the Rare Level.

Then, using the [Heroic Badge (Orange)], he can convert those warriors into Heroic Level talents!

With refugee heroes and heroes from unclaimed territories supplemented into the territory’s logistical management vacancies, the number of combat heroes, however, hasn’t changed for a long time.

Now, with all obstacles cleared, veterans like Korby, Favide, Tasuya, Aisha, Madeleine, and Mapple will soon have a chance to become combat heroes!

Zong Shen placed the Extraction Bottle in a conspicuous position within the storage grid.

This is also where he places items and weapons he commonly uses.

The number of storage grids is continually increasing, and the number of items carried is growing as well.

In this case, deciding where to place different items has become a sort of skill.

Storing items in more accessible and visible positions makes them easier to retrieve.

After storing away the [Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange)], Zong Shen immediately stood up, stepping out of the hot spring pool.

Droplets of water slid off his strong body.

He glanced down to inspect himself.

His hand brushed over the faint scar on the side of his abdomen.

This was the mark left back in the mine when he endured a strike from the Calamity Battle Spear thrown by the Spider Web Monster Lord Leopold.

He pulled out a worn-out undershirt to wipe off the remaining droplets on his body.

Then he pulled out fresh undergarments and put them on.

Doing laundry was not an option, otherwise, the readers would say he’s wasting time again.

After putting on his undergarments, he didn’t bother with battle armor, just slipped on his war boots, put away his gear, and headed straight to the central district’s open space.

After confirming there was enough space, he took out the [Tier Five Earthshaker War Vehicle].

A colossal entity appeared before him!

Upon being summoned, the heavy magic energy mecha caused the ground on both sides to emit a groaning sound of strain.

The entire ground actually sank over ten centimeters!
