Chapter 786: Chapter 551 “A Special Task” _1 Chapter 786: Chapter 551 “A Special Task” _1 As Colin’s thoughts turned, he directly used the “Special Grade Item Draw Ticket”.

Soon…

A streak of golden light emerged in his line of sight.

Colin squinted his eyes slightly and saw a familiar design of a golden artifact’s information appeared before him.

[Name: “Force · Attraction”]

[Quality: Extremely Rare.]

[Status: Barely usable (Integrity 17%).]

[Energy Level: Class A.]

[Effect: Upon holding and activating the card effect, the user can temporarily control the concept of “gravity” within a 10m radius. The desirability of the effect depends on the item’s status and the cardholder’s proficiency…]

[Note: One of The Seventeen Gold Cards from the “Card Divine Kingdom”, capable of combining effects with other “Force” series…]

[In an interview, a “Mr. Kattu” who didn’t want to reveal his name pointed at a celestial body not too far away and said: See that moon up there? I just pinched it…]

[Status repair conditions: Consume Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty One Points to repair to 19%, which will strengthen the effect intensity.]

[The item has been stored in the “Storage Room”, please check.]

…

“Gravity…”

Colin held the newly acquired Golden Card with a strange expression… It wouldn’t really be just these card-type items in the company’s internal golden artifact draws these days, would it?

He thought about it and seemed that so far, every golden draw yielded a card.

As for drawing a Golden Card, it wasn’t upsetting, but he wasn’t the same person he was when he first joined the company, especially after knowing some insider details about the draw tickets…

He was very clear about one thing.

Once the company started giving out super-level items, there was definitely a big catch waiting behind it.

Especially considering the mission just completed, which provided him with more than double the expected bonus Points and a Golden Clearance Certificate, plus his understanding of Lady Rabbit’s habit of issuing missions.

A vague sense of anxiety began to stir within Colin.

“But what’s given is given; I can’t exactly give it back.”

With the Golden Card in hand, Colin willed it into action and pointed forward, causing a ping pong ball and other various items, big and small, including the rack itself, to rapidly move and compress around the ping pong ball at a distance of several meters.

Everything within ten meters seemed to be affected…

However, just as everything squeezed together, Colin stopped using the item.

“You can choose which objects to attract and which to repel, but it takes a bit of effort to control. Plus, the ‘gravity’ endowed on an object’s size also determines the effect: the smaller the object, the higher the precision needed, the larger the object, the simpler it is to operate. However, lack of proficiency might reduce the effectiveness of the skill…”

After making a simple judgment, Colin suddenly heard the flapping of wings from outside the window.

It was the half-wild pigeon, which has been missing since eating one of its eggs.

It was chasing a male pigeon and flapping its wings on a landscaping tree outside the window. Just as it was about to catch up, Colin beckoned with a gesture and a gravitational pull took effect. The pigeon flew backwards and landed in his hands.

“Not bad.”

Colin, holding the plump pigeon that had fattened up from scrounging for food somewhere this winter and was now struggling in his hand, reflected on the feeling of using “Gravity”, feeling that the item was indeed very powerful…

As he contemplated, Colin tossed the pigeon into the air and produced another golden card, “Force – Repulsive Force”.

In a snap, the pigeon shot sideways and started tumbling, only to be pulled back by “Gravity”. Colin tried out multiple different usage scenarios in a few back and forth movements.

“The power of these two gold cards can cancel each other out or be used in combination, but the proficiency and precision required are quite high. Though, the ‘gravity’ attributed to an object will significantly diminish the effect when there’s not much around to attract…”

While waving his hand back and forth, pulling the pigeon like a yo-yo, Colin quickly familiarized himself with the Gold Card.

Of course, if the Golden Card’s status and precision were improved, theoretically, Colin could gather stars with a speck of dust, but now, applying gravity to something the size of a lychee pit was his operational limit.

Anything smaller made it difficult to lock on to the target.

While Colin was using the pigeon for his experiments, the pedestrians in the corridor below seemed oblivious to it all.

After trying out for about three to five minutes, Colin grabbed the pigeon again: “Next time you come to my window to relieve yourself, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

After muttering to himself, the merciful Colin—unwilling to kill—still threw it back outside.

“In a couple of days, I can go to Shana to practice with the ‘gravity’ card and even test it out in real combat inside the ‘Mist Disaster’.”

Colin started repairing the Golden Card.

Before long, after spending a total of just over eighty thousand Points and four Gold Mission Vouchers, Colin repaired its integrity from 17% to 49%.

[Status repair conditions: Consume 72140 Points to repair to 59%, and the effect intensity, range, and other aspects will be further enhanced.]

“What a ripoff; working myself to death to earn some Points, and two or three repairs later, nearly one-fifth is gone…”

Colin looked at his remaining Points, totaling over four hundred thirty-thousand, and could not help but complain.

Repairing this Golden Card with Points was not something an average employee could afford.

However, after repairing it to 49%, the effect’s range had increased to a diameter of one hundred fifty meters, and the gravity was much stronger than before. Moreover, an Inherent Skill had been added.

[Inherent Skill “Strong Aggregation – Celestial Body Creation”: Endows oneself or a specific object with a super-strong gravity effect, attracting all nearby objects to achieve protection or sealing.]
