[Heart of Primary Power] is an oval as big as a knuckle, showing a clear red color.

It looks a bit like a ruby, but its inside is as fluid as blood.

The [Heart of Advanced Power] is larger and has a hexagonal shape.

It doesn't look crystal clear, and the blood-red substance inside is more viscous.

Strictly speaking, these hearts of power are also jewelry equipment.

After he changed his clothes, his corresponding strength attributes also changed significantly.

Zong Shen's strength attribute was originally 135 points, of which [Heart of Primary Strength] accounted for 6 points.

After taking it off, it becomes 129 points.

Then it was replaced with [Advanced Power Heart] which increased by 18 points.

In the end, his strength attribute became 147 points, and his health points were also increased to 1407 points.

This health value is almost comparable to those of level 35 hell two-headed dogs.

As for the replaced [Heart of Primary Power], Zong Shen planned to give it to his warriors.

Such an ornament is very suitable for soldiers who are known for their strength.

If there is really no suitable candidate, selling it is also a good choice.

Such simple and crude jewelry equipment that directly increases basic attributes is worth a lot of money in the [market], and it is not even available in points redemption.

Because jewelry equipment is different from any weapons and protective equipment.

Its biggest feature is that it can increase the basic attributes of various items.

Some equipment also comes with additional skills.

Therefore, even if Zong Shen eliminated the [Heart of Primary Power], it can still be exchanged for a large amount of resources when it is now on the market.

After checking these two pieces of rare equipment, Zong Shen easily mastered the architectural drawings of the second-level stone road.

He did not check the detailed properties of this architectural drawing, because this kind of building is a basic building.

It is enough to leave everything to Mariel, and she will make reasonable arrangements for construction based on the actual development situation.

The same is true for the two water mage recruitment scrolls. This is not the first time I have seen them.

So there is no need to devote too much attention to it.

All that's left is a potion and a group magic rune.

The bottle of medicine is contained in a small sealed test tube.

It is a light red liquid with some turbidity inside and black particle precipitates.

[Blood Bath Potion (Green)]

[Quality: Excellent grade]

[Effect: For every 1% of health lost, the attack will increase by 0.5%, lasting for 3 minutes. After the duration is over, it will enter an overdraft state, and the health recovery effect will be reduced by 30%, lasting for 10 minutes]

(A high-quality potion made with rough refining techniques, with slightly more impurities and obvious side effects. It may come in handy at critical moments)

Obviously this thing is an alchemical potion.

The effect is somewhat similar to the mad dog state of those ax warriors.

When you are injured, you may be able to use this potion to launch a counterattack.

Putting away the potion, he took out the magic rune.

It looks like a white pebble, with magic runes engraved all over it.

These runes exude a sea-blue halo and are filled with magical power.

The last time I saw magic runes was on the shore of the island in the middle of the lake.

The [Group Flying Rune] used by Jiang Yi.

This kind of magic rune can be used repeatedly, and its functionality is obvious.

Zong Shen took the magic rune he had drawn and played with it carefully.

Use your thumb to rub the rune marks dented on the surface.

Put it in front of your eyes and start to see the specific effects.

[Group Stealth Rune (Blue)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Can select up to 20 friendly targets to enter the third level stealth state, lasting 10 minutes]

[Number of uses remaining: 5]

(Practical magic runes, suitable for special tasks such as team assassination, lurking, and raiding)

This magic rune is similar to Jiang Yi's flying rune. It can be used 5 times, and the maximum selectable target is 20 allies.

The attached stealth state has reached the third level, which can deal with most mainstream detection spells.

In addition, it is a group-effective rune, which makes the actual value of this group stealth rune exceed the excellent level.

Zong Shen sorted these items into categories, and now he has opened the two treasure chests that he had forgotten for several days.

A [Magic Heat Ball] was used in the lord's small building, which made the entire hall very warm.

Zong Shen took off his bearskin coat. He had no plans tonight.

It is snowing heavily outside, and ice flowers have condensed on the windows, forming a thin layer of ice.

Like a hazy window screen, it reflects the warm orange light in the house.

Now Zong Shen's level is still LV26, but the experience value has increased a lot, becoming [80065/95150], which is still more than 10,000 experience points away from LV27.

The higher the level, the more time it takes to improve.

Correspondingly, the strength improvement benefits obtained from levels have become smaller and smaller.

Zong Shen currently still has 2 attribute points and skill points that can be allocated.

And 20 points of assignable weapon proficiency.

He has always been accustomed to stocking up on attribute points during this period, adding at least three or four points before adding them.

But while he was free, he planned to add up these two attribute points.

Now Zong Shen’s four attributes are as follows:

[Strength: 147], [Agility: 41], [Intelligence: 54], [Charm 78].

Compared with basic attributes, he lacks allocable skill points.

Because the way to obtain attribute points requires more skill points.

Including various elementary to advanced attribute books, jewelry equipment, and reading books can effectively improve the four basic attributes.

The allocable skill points depend on each upgrade and the improvement of the wisdom attribute.

So Zong Shen chose to add these two attribute points to intelligence, making the intelligence attribute 56 points.

His magic value and magic damage base have also been slightly improved.

This way he has 4 skill points that can be allocated.

Considering that the portable storage space was already somewhat stretched, Zong Shen decided to add 2 skill points to [Item Management] and changed it to level 8, so that he would have 68 portable storage spaces.

As for the remaining 2 points, he chose to add them to [Persuasion] and raised it to level 4.

The effect of this skill is very subtle. According to the prompt, it can make one's views more easily accepted by others, and can also effectively reduce the hostility of the natives and increase the speed of developing favorability.

As the exchanges with the indigenous people become closer and closer, Zong Shen is also preparing for more frequent contact with the indigenous people in the future.

Regardless of the effect of [Persuasion], even if it has only a small effect, it is still an important variable. After all, this thing is equivalent to a weakened passive version of impression enhancement, and you will not suffer any loss if you upgrade it to a few levels.

In fact, the twenty-four passive skills provided by the lord system cover many aspects.

Many of these passive skills have extremely incredible effects.

The most important point is that these effects exist independently and are effective.

For example, [Shield Defense], if you click it to a very high level and you and the natives hold the same shield, your shield will be stronger and less likely to be damaged.

Another example is [Riding], which allows you to naturally master proficient riding skills, not only limited to horses, but also all kinds of weird riding animals.

There is also [Tracking], which is the top detection skill, it will provide you with additional trace information.

These are just some examples, in fact every passive skill has its own uniqueness.

There are even some life-changing effects, such as [Healing], [Rescue], and [First Aid].

However, these passive skills need to be advanced to a higher level before they can effectively exert their effects. This is why it is more difficult to obtain skill points than attribute points.

Therefore, the seemingly weak lord actually only lacks time to develop.

After adding attribute points and skill points, Zong Shen added all 20 points of assignable weapon proficiency to [Two-Handed Weapons]. Now he has 125 points of two-handed weapon proficiency.
