The killing process was simple and crude: Pei Guang wasn't the type who liked to chatter, especially since these people didn't truly die, but just went to a new map.
Therefore, Pei Guang having Something Unto Death take action was very clean and efficient; it was a case where as soon as everyone had gathered, they were all sent to the new world without even a greeting.
Pei Guang wasn't interested in what The Family thought: right now, looking at the several Family Heads who had been smashed into paste and had dropped equipment and materials all over the ground, his entire expression was one of seriousness and happiness.
Previously, because it wasn't Pei Guang who wanted to kill Sunday, Sunday's death didn't count as a player kill, so nothing dropped for Pei Guang.
But these people were all killed under Pei Guang's command.
At the same time, because he had raised Something Unto Death's favorability earlier, Something Unto Death currently counted as one of Pei Guang's people for the time being.
After passing various characteristic checks, these Family Heads killed by Something Unto Death successfully dropped items for Pei Guang.
Unlike the various special effects and materials from before, this time he really dropped equipment, equipment with attributes.
Most of these Relics were just blue and white rarities; just this familiar glow almost gave Pei Guang photosensitive epilepsy.
A small portion glowed purple, and amidst this purple glow, there was one shining golden light.
"Equipment... dropped?"
Dropping equipment officially for the first time made Pei Guang's heart race.
He tried hard to recall every detail of the drop, wondering why equipment had only dropped here throughout his entire journey.
While thinking, Pei Guang's hand reached toward that single speck of golden light amidst the blue and white.
After holding the equipment glowing with golden light in his hand, he obtained its information.
[Congratulations player for obtaining Relic: Genius's Gravity Walker]
[Genius's Gravity Walker: When worn, allows free movement in any environment as if walking normally.]
[Main Stat: Defense +8.6%]
[Sub-stats: Effect RES +4.3%, Attack +21, Defense +16, Attack +4.3%.]
[Remark: Feet slot of the Genius of Brilliant Stars set. Special effects will be obtained when equipping two or four pieces of different slots. Relics can be enhanced using other Relics; after enhancement, the Main Stat will increase significantly, and there is a small probability that Sub-stats will obtain partial increases.]
[Congratulations player for obtaining a Relic for the first time. Killing Elite units and above guarantees a Relic drop; killing ordinary units has a very small probability of dropping a Relic. Please explore the rest of the content on your own.]
Looking at this last prompt, Pei Guang paused for a moment.
First time obtaining a Relic? Does that mean if he had managed to get this stuff earlier, he could have unlocked the Relic system long ago?
However, on second thought, he had only been in this universe for a little over a month; calculating carefully, it was just a beginner's tutorial and a novice village.
In the first dungeon, he gained various skills, and in the early stages of the second dungeon, he gained the ability to drop gold coins, so obtaining equipment in this dungeon was also very reasonable.
As a player, his means of improvement were limited to those few things.
As the dungeons became stronger, he had indeed reached the point where he needed equipment to strengthen himself.
But looking at this attribute... Defense attribute? If this were a normal game, Pei Guang would look down on this attribute: damn it, he just wanted damage output!
But in the real world, Pei Guang still hoped for more defense and HP; only by surviving could there be damage output.
This was reality, not a game with turns or time limits for clearing stages. As long as he survived, he would have countless ways to kill the enemy.
Of course, this was just Pei Guang comforting himself: simply because the so-called damage attributes hadn't appeared, he was consoling himself this way.
Moreover, looking at the appearance of these sub-stats, they should also be enhanceable, and the sub-stats seemed to have both fixed values and percentage increases.
Although he could see his body's numerical values, Pei Guang had always treated the numbers as just a reference. However, calculating roughly based on these attributes, if he could gather the four pieces of equipment mentioned above and focus on a single attribute, that single attribute could at least double.
As for the maximum... that would depend on the specific values.
Thinking of this, Pei Guang picked up the surrounding blue and white rarities. After a cursory glance, he looked at them with disdain and used them directly as fodder.
The enhancement method was very simple: holding the Relic to be enhanced and following the system prompts, these blue and white items were used for enhancement.
It was only after using up almost all the blue and white items that Pei Guang realized this equipment's attributes had only changed once.
Watching the Defense change from 8.6% to 11.6%, Pei Guang began to make rough calculations.
"A three percent increase per change? Does it take the trash Relics dropped by so many people just to enhance it by one level? This demand is a bit high... However..."
Pei Guang looked at the introduction regarding Relics: Elite units and above are guaranteed to drop them, while ordinary units have a small probability.
Based on this description, Pei Guang felt that if he wanted to enhance, he still had to set his sights on ordinary units. Even if the probability was low, as long as the base number was large enough, enough enhancement fodder could drop.
"Phew, looks like this is a... long-term process? And with this drop rate, looks like I have to keep the purple Relics too?"
After salvaging all the trash, Pei Guang took a rough look.
There were quite a few purple Relics: clothes, gloves, helmets… basically the standard four-piece equipment set.
Although they were all purple Relics, he still seriously looked at the attributes, but when he saw the attributes of these Relics, he became even more excited.
Max HP, Defense, it had everything, even equipment that increased Crit Rate.
Pei Guang didn't know how Crit Rate and Crit DMG would manifest, but just looking at it...
Judging by the Defense percentage attribute, purple Relics were a bit worse than gold ones, but right now he only had one gold Relic, so he wasn't in a position to be picky.
However, what Pei Guang valued most was Max HP, because the insect eggs obtained from killing the Giant True Sting earlier increased Max HP by a little every day, and this increased portion could benefit from the Relic attribute bonuses.
Therefore, in Pei Guang's view, Defense stats were weaker than Attack stats.
Of course, if there were Crit stats, Pei Guang would wear them too: even if it was just a one percent Crit Rate, it was fine.
After all, what if it critted?
