Chapter 920 - 537: Key of Destiny, Desire of the Overlord

"Gear, Key of Destiny..."

"Doesn’t that also mean there are connecting rods, crankshafts, toothed discs, and housings..."

He murmured to himself.

"Both times, the golden banner announcements revealed unknown items from the Fate System."

"So the puppet lord supported by the indigenous people, Jan Haisiz, who dispersed the clouds in the sky, should also have one."

Zong Shen thought of Jan Haisiz during the Frosty Winter challenge.

Chen Rui had mentioned that guy was supported by the indigenous people.

At that time, there were also two golden banners.

Zong Shen pondered for a while; his intuition told him that the items from the Fate System he held were definitely not simple.

If he could gather twelve pieces, perhaps they would have incredible effects.

After all, in the strategy notes, these items are capable of repairing world anomalies.

Though he still didn’t know what "world anomalies" referred to.

But no matter how he interpreted it, these items left him unfathomably impressed.

He placed the Key of Destiny and gear back into the storage box.

Placed them next to similar grid positions.

He walked steadily back into the fortress hall.

Sitting in his original position, he continued to check other acquisitions.

This time, he took out a golden badge imprint.

It’s only the size of a bottle cap.

The badge pattern is interesting, with a war axe and a sword at the center.

They intersect, implying both confrontation and friction.

Below are interlocking clenched arms.

Flame patterns are nearby.

The axe and sword, fists, are positioned above and below the badge.

Overall, it carries a clear war implication.

Apart from these, there are no overly fancy patterns.

This badge is the golden epic-level ornament equipment from this reward.

[Overlord’s Badge (Golden)]

[Quality: Epic Level]

[Effect: Charm +20, Strength +10, Strong Strike +4, Command +5]

[When using axe or sword weapons, gain an additional 10% slashing damage boost]

[Skills: Gilded Fist lv35 (can be activated when unarmed, making fists hardened with epic-level armor and resistance, converts strength to basic blunt damage during attacks, gains 1.5 times blunt damage increase, lasts 10 minutes, cooling time 2 hours)

Summon Overlord Long Halberd Armor Warrior lv40 (summons four lv40 Tier Five Warrior Overlord Long Halberd Armor Warriors, they are brave and tenacious warriors, lasts 15 minutes, cooling time 1 hour)

Passive Skills: Desire of the Overlord (for every 1000 subjects, Command +3.

Current Command bonus: 3)]

(This badge was left by an overlord during the Human Race dominance period. Unfortunately, that overlord never established his own kingdom, but within those limited years, he still wrote his own legend)

How to address this badge.

Actually, it’s somewhat similar to [Arthur’s Ring of Dominion (Golden)].

Just without such abundant skills.

But the passive skill [Desire of the Overlord] possesses growth potential.

It will provide additional [Command] bonuses according to the number of subjects.

For every 1000 subjects, Command increases by 3 points.

If the territory has 10,000 subjects, that’s a 30-point increase in Command.

It could add 300 Command Value to Zong Shen.

Additionally, it offers considerable attribute enhancements.

But the ornament slots on Zong Shen’s chest were already full.

After some consideration, he removed the [Shadow Talisman (Blue)].

Replaced it with the newly acquired [Overlord’s Badge (Golden)].

The [Shadow Talisman] was found in Sang Gu Shuying’s relic.

It was one of his personal accessories.

It came with a [Shadow Clone lv10] skill.

Along with agility and charm attribute boosts.

After the accessory change, Zong Shen’s attributes also altered.

His agility decreased by 6 points, charm decreased by 2 points.

Reduced to 45 points and 76 points, respectively.

Next came the attribute boosts from the [Overlord’s Badge].

Strength increased by 10 points, reaching 177 points.

Life Value also correspondingly increased by 50 points, turning to 1492 points.

Charm increased by 20 points at once, plus an additional 8 Command.

Among them, 3 Command came from contribution by the [Desire of the Overlord].

Thus, finally, Zong Shen’s charm reached 96 points.

Command Value also considerably increased, becoming [153/388]

[Command] Skill 28 points.

Every time an accessory is replaced, it triggers attribute change and renewal.

Now Zong Shen is heading down the path of the Strength Stream without looking back.

Moreover, his charm and Intelligence attributes are also not low.

Compared to these three major attributes, his agility of only 45 points looks rather lacking.

But that’s okay, anyway, there’s plenty of time ahead to strengthen slowly.

After putting on the [Overlord’s Badge (Golden)], Zong Shen continued to immerse his mind into the personal storage grid.

Those high-level resource treasure chests and high-level material treasure chests need no further mention.

Zong Shen had already opened them last time, he is well aware of their value.

Besides these chests, there were two [Heroic Badges].

Combined with the one he reserved last time, now he has three.

He already had candidates in mind for hero promotion.

These [Heroic Badges] came at just the right time.

Lastly, three rewards remained.

Including the upgrade certificate.

[Sixth-Level City Lord’s Mansion Upgrade Certificate]

[Complete the territory expansion task, after raising the territory to level six, use this certificate to upgrade the City Lord’s Mansion to level six (must ensure the City Lord’s Mansion remains undamaged)]

(You’re getting closer to your castle dream, upgrade quickly, it will give you a stronger home)

This upgrade certificate arrived just at the right moment.

In the morning, he had just upgraded the City Lord’s Mansion to level five.

Moreover, now his City Lord’s Mansion will be in a solid fortress form.

After upgrading to level six, apart from expanding the area of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The defense capabilities of the Lord’s Fortress will also improve further.

The appearance of this upgrade certificate also prompted Zong Shen to speculate anew.

Such special rewards tend to show preference for items.
