Along with the potion devouring Kane and the others, they once again returned to the Mist.

The surroundings turned back into a vast white fog, which rolled and surged all around.

"Indeed, acting in a living World Fragment is much more interesting."

Kane couldn’t help but remark after emerging.

"Who knows if the crisis events we encounter in those living World Fragments afterwards will be as troublesome as this time."

Upon hearing Kreya’s words, Kane turned and said with a smile, "Perhaps it could be even more troublesome, who knows."

"Does this world dispersal come with rewards?"

Longbei was concerned about this issue.

Hearing Longbei’s words, Kane shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "It’s not that there are none, but rather they should be settled together after we complete this exploration."

"Last time, it could be settled immediately because that reborn Dungeon had immense value, this time this Dungeon can at most be considered somewhat rare."

Upon hearing Kane’s words, Longbei nodded, "As long as there are rewards."

"Alright, alright, let’s continue exploring. Synesthesia hasn’t yet felt fatigued."

Saying this, Kane began to walk into the Mist ahead.

Calculating fully, they’ve only been walking in the Mist for less than half a month.

There’s still some time before Synesthesia gets fatigued, so exploring must continue.

......

As Synesthesia fell into fatigue, this time spent in the Mist was longer by a few days than the last.

Kane and the others were preparing to retreat from the Mist.

This Mist journey finally led them to encounter a living world.

A spiritual world.

But except for this piece of living World Fragment, the second half of the month did not lead to any further encounters.

Indeed, encountering a living world is much rarer than encountering dead World Fragments.

"Get ready, then let’s exit."

Upon hearing Kane’s words, the group nodded.

Soon, their figures vanished in the thick white fog.

Exiting the Mist, they directly returned to the Platinum Country.

Having just retreated.

The air before them began to pour out Mist.

The Mist wrapped itself into two bundles.

"Is this our overall harvest from this time?"

Looking at the two fog bundles before him, Kane raised a question.

Then the fog bundles shattered, revealing the contents within.

An unknown metal emitting a faint silvery-white glow, with visible intertwined patterns on its surface.

The other item was an irregular Crystal Stone the size of a fist, appearing as if newly unearthed.

The entire Crystal Stone displayed a faint gray hue, with turbid energy surging within.

Kane extended his hands and accepted the two items.

It can be confirmed, their rewards from this harvest were these two items.

The only known fact is that part of the contribution comes from them resolving a world’s crisis event.

If only the useless worlds were eliminated, the contribution might be worth only half an item, or even less.

Kane examined the silver metal in his left hand.

Opted for identification.

[Rising Iron]

[Consumable]

[Color: Tri-color]

[Effect: Used on Equipment, limited to melee weapons, Armor. The Equipment used must be gold.

After use, the Equipment will be enhanced to tri-color level, gaining vertical improvements without much alteration.]

[Description: Sublimated metal, minerals condensed from rules, capable of allowing forged Equipment to attain a leap in Personality.]

This item is equivalent to a tri-color Equipment.

Moreover, it can upgrade gold-level Equipment, though limited to melee weapons and Armor.

At least it allows free choice.

But upon careful thought, at the level of gold and colored, the Equipment that appears seems to be fitting Equipment.

Such an item likely appears because their contribution was insufficient to obtain a fine piece of tri-color Equipment, hence the alternative.

Mainly to see if the attributes of Equipment enhanced using this item are satisfactory.

Afterward, Kane directly informed the group of the item’s attributes.

The group began discussing distribution.

Everyone has gold-grade weapons in hand.

Since it’s limited to melee weapons and Armor,

then Lilu and Meizike are temporarily excluded, and Kane currently has little need for Armor.

The only ones needing Armor are Kreya and Longbei.

After discussion, it was decided to give the item to Longbei to upgrade his Shield.

Being a Tank without a good Shield is indeed inadequate.

In previous battles, Longbei repeatedly relied on his body to withstand attacks due to the Shield’s inadequacy.

His lifetime skills, at the tri-color stage, can only perform at about 70%.

The ultimate reason was not having a good shield.

At the tricolor stage, a golden-level shield already began to show signs of internal reformation.

Even Meizike could knock the shield askew with a punch.

Taking advantage of the gap while Longbei was preparing to use this metal.

Kane also appraised the ore in his other hand.

[Gray Crystal Ore]

[Magic Materials/Consumables]

[Color: Tricolor]

[Effect: After use, it can dye a mineral vein, upgrade its level, and cause the minerals produced afterward to exhibit unique effects.]

[Description: A massive crystal meteor drifting through the void, obtained by extracting the core crystal. It possesses strong energy and unique effects.]

Looking at the colorful magic materials in his hand, Kane had never considered using it as a consumable.

Obviously, Kane was intending to use this material to charge a magic stone, yielding his first tricolor magic stone.

Afterward, Kane told everyone about the attributes of this material.

Without a doubt, this item belonged to Kane.

At this moment, Longbei decided to upgrade the golden shield given by Aiklonen to the tricolor level.

"After thinking it over, this shield is still the best to use, after all, it has accompanied me for so long."

As Longbei spoke, he tapped the dark red small round shield on his arm that could change.

Seeing that Longbei had made up his mind, Kane handed him the metal emitting a silver light.

"Here, it’s up to you now. It’s time to carry a shield that matches your status, lest you say we’re picking on you."

Hearing Kane’s teasing, Longbei rolled his eyes and made a gesture to dispel it.

Ever since they upgraded to the tricolor, they frequently sparred with each other in the training ground.

And Longbei often suffered from having a weak shield.

So he would occasionally grumble.

Looking at the dark red small round shield in his hand, Longbei couldn’t help but recall the days of training under Aiklonen.

Before leaving, the little black shadow for defense training given to him was still stored in his space equipment.

Although it was no longer useful.

He couldn’t help but recall the old days and shook his head with a laugh.

He sighed, "Have we advanced to such a place already? It feels like yesterday was still here."

Hearing Longbei’s sigh, everyone smiled with relief.

Recalling their journey together.

Longbei sighed, taking the silvery white metal handed to him by Kane, channeling magic power into it, and placing it on the dark red small round shield in his hand.

As magic power flowed into the silvery white metal, it began to surge along the surface’s texture.

It conformed to the small round shield below, disintegrating and transforming into lines wrapping around its surface.

Each strand of metal thread seemed like stitches mending a hole.

Continuously pouring into the dark red small round shield.

The originally dark red metal began to lighten, and with the influx of silver metal, the overall hue transformed into a silvery metallic color, with a faint red sheen on the surface.

The small round shield also developed spiral patterns and a simple hammer emblem with a lightning bolt striking through it.

It seemed to be Longbei’s symbolic emblem.

Longbei looked at the newly refurbished shield in his hand, stroking its texture like it was his most cherished treasure.

Feeling the newest shield in his hand and the cold sensation of the patterns on it.

Seeing Longbei’s infatuated expression, Kane smiled helplessly and walked over to pat his shoulder.

"Don’t you want me to appraise it for you?"

"Of course I do. Come on, come on, my good brother, help me appraise it quickly."

Longbei quickly snapped out of his trance and handed his brand-new shield to Kane.

Kane accepted it, feeling its weight in his hand.

It’s undeniable that the shield has substantial weight, suggesting it might change weight with the user’s intent.

Feeling the cold metallic touch on the surface.

Kane began the appraisal.

[Comprehensive Protection]

[Shield]

[Color: Tricolor]

[Attributes:]

[Durability Repair]

[Eternal Immortality] (Time will leave no mark on it, enabling the equipment to resist the passage of time.)

[Physical Attack Reflection] (All received physical attack damage will be reduced and reflected back to the attacker.)

[Magic Damage Reflection] (All received magic damage is reduced, and magic attacks are reflected back as energy bullets.)

[Divinity Resistance] (All damage caused by divine power will be weakened.)

[Skill: Heart Extension] (The shield’s shape and size will change freely according to the user’s intent, with changes occurring instantaneously.

The extent of change follows the consumption of magic power.)

[Description: A shield casually crafted by a god, bestowed upon one of his demigods, and created an unparalleled legend.

Through the sublimation of its metal, this shield was imbued with the attributes of a divine artifact.]

Indeed, it was upgraded from [Comprehensive Defense], with all attributes essentially being enhanced golden-level versions.

But regardless, it certainly suits the current Longbei.
