Chapter 47: Perfect Settlement, All 3 Pieces of the S-Rank Set Completed
The numbers on the countdown stone door stopped jumping the moment 100% progress was achieved.
Golden patterns surge outwards from the ash heap in all directions, like living vines climbing the walls and eventually converging into the stone gate.
The floor of the entire stone hall transformed into a giant golden magic circle.
In the center of the magic circle, a semi-transparent control panel slowly rose up.
The Sacred Nexus is activating...
[Loading the Eden Realm control module...]
[Loading complete.]
[Congratulations to the Explorer Team for successfully conquering the S-rank dungeon, Eden's Lie, for the first time.]
Overall Rating: Perfect (S)
[Due to achieving the "hidden purification" condition and no casualties throughout the battle, the evaluation reward has been increased.]
Final Reward: 2 S-Rank Treasure Chests.
Zhao Lei stared at the glaring "Perfect (S)" on the panel, his mouth agape for a long time.
"Two S-rank treasure chests! Brother Yan, am I seeing things?"
"That's right," Shen Xinglin put away his spear and leaned against a stone pillar. "It was worth taking that punch."
"It's more than worth it!" Zhao Leiguang slapped his thigh, and his nose seemed to stop stinging.
"This is a huge win! Only we can pull off an S-rank mission. Anyone else would be lucky to survive, let alone expect a perfect rating!"
Lin Chuxue also breathed a sigh of relief. The minty taste of the magic potion was still lingering in her mouth, but seeing the treasure chest made her feel that everything was worthwhile.
Su Yunqing looked at her half-empty supply bar and showed a relieved expression.
Xiao Qianyu did not participate in the discussion. She walked to the side and turned on the external communication channel.
The signal was connected very quickly.
"This is the first squad of the Zhenguo Dragon Guard, captained by Xiao Qianyu." Her voice was steady, showing no sign that she had just experienced a high-intensity wilderness clearing.
A deep, steady male voice came from the other end of the channel; it was Li Tianshan.
"speak."
"Report: The exploration mission for the S-rank dungeon 'The Lie of Eden' has been completed."
Li Tianshan paused for a few seconds on the other end, his breathing clearly audible.
"Casualties?"
"none."
"Task evaluation?"
"Perfect, S-rank."
This time, Li Tianshan remained silent for an even longer period. So long that Xiao Qianyu thought the signal had been lost.
"...Okay." When Li Tianshan's voice rang out again, it carried an undeniable force.
"Make a complete record of the combat log and return to base immediately. I'll have the logistics department prepare a victory celebration banquet for you."
"Yes."
Communication was cut off.
When Xiao Qianyu returned, Lu Yan had already dragged two treasure chests radiating golden light out of the virtual interface, which were now suspended in mid-air.
All eyes turned to it.
"Brother Yan, the usual." Zhao Lei rubbed his hands together, looking expectant. "We trust your luck."
Without saying a word, Lu Yan reached out and placed his hand on the first treasure chest.
The treasure chest lid popped open, and a soft holy light shone out.
As the light faded, an elegantly designed crown floated silently in the air.
The main body of the crown is made of moon-white metal, inlaid with tiny green crystals, with a larger gemstone at the very center, exuding the breath of life.
The Crown of Purity in the Garden of Eden
[Quality: S-Rank - Epic]
Location: Head
[Applicable Profession: Therapist]
【Set Name: Eden's Healing Set (2/6)】
[Attributes: Greatly increases mental strength, reduces skill cooldown, and grants invulnerability while casting healing spells]
[Set Effect Preview (Activate with 6 pieces): ???]
Su Yunqing's breathing paused for a moment.
Super armor effect!
For a healer who needs to stand still to cast spells, she knew all too well what this meant. It meant that in critical moments, she would no longer have to worry about her healing being interrupted by enemy area-of-effect attacks, and could withstand the damage to pull her teammates back from the brink of death.
The value of this entry even surpasses that of the previous breastplate.
"The second one."
Lu Yan's hand moved toward the second treasure chest.
The golden light was even more dazzling than before.
The moment the box lid was opened, everyone felt a warm current flow through their bodies, and even the fatigue from the battle dissipated somewhat.
Within the light, a pair of white boots appeared.
The Steps to Redemption in Eden
[Quality: S-Rank - Epic]
[Location: Legs]
[Applicable Profession: Therapist]
【Set Name: Eden's Healing Set (3/6)】
[Attributes: Greatly increased movement speed, reduced stamina consumption, and the ability to move slowly while casting spells]
[Set Effect Preview (Collect 6-3): Activates "Holy Healing Domain".]
"You can move while casting a spell!" Lin Chuxue exclaimed in surprise, "That's too much!"
Mobile spellcasting is the ultimate ability that many spellcasters dream of.
Zhao Leiguang's eyes widened in amazement. "Sister Yunqing is about to take off! From now on, in raids, we'll stand in front taking the hits while she runs behind, healing us as she goes, like a mobile fountain."
Lu Yan took out the two pieces of equipment and handed them directly to Su Yunqing.
"your."
"This..." Su Yunqing looked at the three-piece set in front of her, unsure of what to say. She was well aware of the strategic significance of putting these three pieces of equipment together.
"Take it," Xiao Qianyu said. "Team improvement is the top priority. You are the team's survival guarantee."
Su Yunqing no longer declined and solemnly accepted the equipment.
As she donned the crown and boots, the moment they resonated with the breastplate on her body, three soft green lights flowed around her, eventually converging at her chest to form a tiny mark of healing.
A new prompt automatically pops up on the system panel.
[Eden's Healing Set (3/6) effect activated: Healing Domain]
[Holy Healing Aura: Passive Effect. Generates a healing aura with a radius of 30 meters centered on the wearer. All friendly units within the aura recover 1% of their maximum health per second and gain 10% damage reduction.]
Zhao Leiguang stared at the faint green halo visible beneath Su Yunqing's feet, his mouth agape.
"I take back what I just said. This isn't just a mobile fountain, it's a fucking mobile fountain base! From now on, if anyone dares to touch Sister Yunqing, I'll be the first to fight them to the death!"
His words may be rough, but they make a valid point.
A healer with built-in area-of-effect healing and damage reduction auras, the ability to cast spells while moving, super armor during casting, built-in resurrection, and group instant healing—their tactical value cannot be measured by common sense.
As long as Su Yunqing's mana doesn't run out, the first squad will have almost unlimited endurance.
"Let's go." Lu Yan closed all the panels and was the first to walk towards the stone door that had been completely opened.
The area outside the door was no longer a cramped passageway, but a bright spatial teleportation node.
He glanced at the bewildered villagers behind him, then at Martha holding the child's body.
"What will they do?" Su Yunqing asked.
"Once the hub is activated, the rules of the secret realm will be reshaped," Lu Yan explained. "This place will revert to being a normal low-level resource point, and they will be able to survive."
As for rebuilding after the collapse of faith, that's their own business.
The first team did not linger and entered the teleportation node one by one.
A flash of light, and the underground stone hall returned to silence.
Only Martha, holding her child, sat beside the pile of trampled ashes, remaining seated for a long time.
