[Celestial Goddess’s Tear] [Type: Pendant] [Grade: Celestial]
[Item Level: ???]
[Lv. Required: 0] [Durability: N/A] [Proficiency: 0%]
[Origins: Unknown]
[This item cannot be discarded or destroyed]
“....”
Yin Xian held the pendant in his grasp. No matter how hard he tried to pull it off his neck, it would not break. He even tried to unequip it using the game's system, but all he got was a notification that said---
[A mysterious force is preventing that action from being executed]
“....”
“You little rascal, how do you take this off--- huh?”
To his surprise, the blue-haired girl disappeared after forcing this pendant upon him.
“You gave me this thing that could be the end of me, and then you run away as if it no longer has anything to do with you?! Unreasonable! Selfish! Shameless!”
However, no matter how much he cried, the fact that the pendant won’t leave him will not go away.
“Well, at least nobody knows that I have it---”
[World Announcement]
[Hero ‘{Spoiled} Little Brat’ has obtained a Celestial-Grade piece of equipment-- the ‘?????’-- becoming the first person to have obtained a Celestial-Grade item!]
[Congratulations, Hero! You have been awarded 10,000 Achievement Points for your sensational achievement!]
“Uhhh….”
Yin Xian stood there dumbfoundedly, his eyes widely staring at the announcement.
“Fuck! I swear that I am going to stop playing this shitty game!”
“Wait! Wait! Wait! How can you quit on me when I just chose you as my new master?!”
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“Huh?”
Yin Xian looked at the pendant with amazement. The equipment talked? And it even sounded like that blue-haired girl from before?
“Master, allow me to introduce myself. I am Lumi, guardian of the Celestial Water while also being the Goddess of Life.”
“…”
He was speechless.
“May Master bless his exalted name upon this little one?”
“... Does my name even matter? I’m not coming back after today, anyway…”
“Eh?! Why?!”
“Why, you ask? With my name broadcasted to the entire world, I’m sure that the Gods must have seen it too. Who knows, maybe the Gods are already heading towards this location as we speak… No matter how powerful I am, there is no way I can fight against Gods at this moment.”
“Master will be fine. There are plenty of Celestial-Grade items in this world, so they will not care if only one was found. Besides, nobody else in this world other than Master and I knows about the true appearance of the Celestial Water.”
“Even if that is true-- why would I listen to you? If you didn’t force this upon me, then we wouldn’t be having this talk right now. Also, I didn’t get any effect even after wearing it. So much for a Celestial-Grade item, whatever that even means...”
“There is no effect because Master’s proficiency with it is zero at the moment... ”
“Haaaa… Whatever, I’ll deal with you later...” He sighed. If something as absolute as this game’s system was unable to do anything about her, then what else could he--- a mere player--- do?
“For now, I have a failed quest to turn in. As for that Madam Passion who’s the main culprit here, I’ll also have to deal with her.”
He turned to walk towards the exit, about to head back to the village. Meanwhile, the world outside of the Luminous Cave was in complete mayhem because of the latest World Announcement.
[Mad Dog: Celestial-Grade? I have never heard of such a thing.]
[Synonym: Me too! I did not know such an item grade had existed before today!]
[77ss77: More importantly, who the hell is this Little Brat? What kind of idiot names himself/herself a little brat?]
[Pixel_Guns: And that ‘Spoiled’ title... LOL!]
[GeeGee: The highest item grade known so far is the Heaven-Grade, and we only found out about it because of an NPC. This Celestial-Grade, could it possibly be higher than the Heaven-Grade?]
[777: Do you know how ridiculous-sounding you are right now? The first ever Supreme-Grade was found just today after 7 months since the game launched, and you’re telling me someone found something above the Heaven-Grade that we have only heard stories about, and it was even found by a no-name?]
[GeeGee: Then how the hell do you explain this Celestial-Grade?]
[777: For all we know, there could be other item grades in-between Supreme-Grade and Heaven-Grade!]
[Synonym: That’s very logical. Because this game came with no information or guide, we can only learn more about it by exploring it little by little. And unless someone finds a Heaven-Grade item and compares it to a Supreme-Grade item, then we will never know.]
[ProfoundBroker: If anyone of you that are reading this has information to this Little Brat-- no matter the detail, please contact me. I am willing to pay however much you wish for that information.]
[Troll_Land: He’s my cousin, actually. I'll strike a deal for you. 100 Gold for his real-life name.]
[Expert_At_Farting: He’s a core player in my clan with a Godly Legacy. Join the ‘Divine Gate’ clan if you want to meet him.]
[Kind Maiden: What I want to know is--- which faction does this Little Brat belong to?]
The chat suddenly stopped moving. Everybody there froze just to think about that question.
Which faction did this player belong to? That was an excellent question.
If it was true that this Celestial-Grade item surpasses even the still mysterious Heaven-Grade, then that faction could topple every other faction without even needing to move! An item that surpasses even a Heaven-Grade, that would be something to be fearful of… Emperor or not!
