Chapter 706: Chapter 32: New Equipment

Many companies organize staff retreats periodically, especially state-owned enterprises, which basically amount to paid trips to reasonably scenic locations for a few days stays.

However, when adding "special" before "retreat", the Third Era probably meant it wasmore than just a simple vacation.

Yet, at the moment, Bratis Continent was in the midst of a huge crisis, and Li Yu didn’t have the time to go on a retreat.

Once the affairs of the Wing Tribe had settled, perhaps he would be able to take advantage of his annual leave and the retreat rights.

But currently, Li Yu was refocusing on improving his work performance.

Besides another promotion, his biggest gain this time was an additional 12,000 faith points, plus an extra promotion gift.

Li Yu immediately drew his promotion gift.

"—[Destiny’s Protection] (3 stars)

Shields the user from one fatal attack."

Good news, it was a three-star piece of equipment. Although it was a one-time use, the effect was quite impressive with strong versatility. Bad news, Li Yu couldn’t use it himself.

When the courier arrived, Li Yu opened it and found a somewhat coarsely made Roman gold coin weighing about fifty grams.

Li Yu weighed it in his hand, then casually placed it on the desk before opening a second package, which contained nine [Sequence Divine Stones].

The Transformation Technique let Li Yu feel the power of divinity once again.

Although each activation of a new divine attribute carried a hint of gambling, after weighing the investments and the potential rewards, Li Yu decided to make the activation of divinity one of his main goals for the future.

And unlike equipment, divine attributes were part of his own abilities, making them less restricted in use.

Therefore, after receiving this month’s share of faith points, Li Yu immediately ordered another batch of [Sequence Divine Stones].

The activation of divine attributes consumed more as he progressed; not counting the first deity activation, Li Yu used one [Sequence Divine Stone] for the second attribute and three for the third.

By the time of the fourth divine attribute, the need for divine stones surged to nine, spending a total of 7,992 faith points from Li Yu’s reserves.

However, with the over six thousand faith points he had left from last time, Li Yu still had about ten thousand faith points on him.

These were not enough to activate the fifth divine attribute in one go, as that would need twenty-seven stones.

Subsequently, Li Yu browsed the Forging House app again, where a new piece of equipment listed on the homepage caught his eye.

Its name was "Uncertain Life Simulator beta version," priced at a steep 9,999 faith points.

According to the markings on the homepage, it was a four-star piece of equipment.

Li Yu clearly remembered that he had not seen this equipment on the homepage just half a minute ago, which meant it was a new item recently added to the shelf.

The price of 9,999 faith points, relative to its four-star rating, was actually not expensive, one might even say it was very reasonable.

However, the disclaimer of it being a beta version, and the suspect "Uncertain" prefix, might pose some problems.

Still, Li Yu clicked to purchase immediately.

All four-star equipment was unique. In the words of Hephaestus, four-star equipment resulted from the collision between rule and chance, and was impossible to replicate.

Once sold, there would be no restocks whatsoever.

Li Yu had previously taken a fancy to several four-star pieces of equipment, but due to not having enough faith points, he could only look on.

Moreover, they often disappeared from the shopping cart not long after.

Therefore, if you wanted a piece of four-star equipment, besides saving enough faith points, you also had to be quick.

That’s also why Li Yu hadn’t even checked the details before placing the order immediately.

Because if this gadget really was what he speculated it was for, it probably wouldn’t have lasted even a few minutes on the mall’s page.

And at the same time that Li Yu placed his order, his phone also vibrated.

It was a QQ message from a small group of seven people that Li Yu had just recently joined.

Including Li Yu, there were only eight people in total, and they usually didn’t talk much.

Until just now when a group admin named Dog Manager said, "Did you guys see that? Something interesting just popped up in the mall, and it got snapped up in less than half a minute."

"What was it?" asked a group member named I Am God.

"Life Simulator."

"Damn... When did the Equipment Department become so amazing? They managed to create something like this. How much does it cost? Just let me give up on it."

"9999."

"That cheap... Must be fake, right? 3-star?"

"Don’t know, four-star. I just clicked on the details, didn’t get the chance to see it yet," Dog Manager said.

"You saw it, why didn’t you order first? 9999 belief for four-star equipment, looks like it wouldn’t be a loss," a member named Don’t want to go to work chimed in.

That was Shi Yitong’s QQ number.

"I just spent all my belief this month," Dog Manager said, "I’ve been hoarding stones recently to avoid wasting belief, so I exchange them for stones as soon as I get them."

"..."

"Allow sadness"

"Allow sadness +1"

"Allow sadness +2"

Later, Shi Yitong privately messaged Li Yu, "Are you there? I’m done with the equipment I borrowed from you, I’ll send it back tomorrow."

Li Yu replied, "Okay, Do I need to provide an address?"

"No need, I’ll send it through the company’s internal mail, it’s safer," Shi Yitong said. "Just give me your employee number, and then you need to approve my mailing request on the OA, it should arrive by tomorrow night at the latest."

After ending the chat with Shi Yitong, Li Yu waited for about half an hour before he received the last piece of equipment he had bid on.

It was an electronic dictionary, at least a decade old by the look of it; Li Yu seemed to recall such items being in vogue when he was in elementary school.

But now, it was just like the Electronic Pet Egg hanging around Miss Rabbit’s neck, both had become tears of an era.

However, the electronic dictionary developed by the Equipment Department was definitely not meant for studying or playing monochromatic games.

Li Yu picked up an equipment card that came along with it.

[Uncertain Life Simulator Beta Version]Four-star.

Congratulations, lucky buyer, it indeed possesses the function you imagined, but fate is constantly changing, and even true gods cannot fully predict what might happen next.

Therefore, the test results are for reference only, and should not be overly relied upon.

This is also the reason we named it the Uncertain Life Simulator. Additionally, in the thousands of tests carried out by the Equipment Department, the Simulator periodically encountered malfunctions preventing further simulation.

With the technology we currently possess, we are unable to analyze the reasons for the malfunctions, nor can we fix them, thus we only offer it in a beta version. As for a more stable version, don’t hold your breath as its successful development is nearly impossible.

The predictions of the [Uncertain Life Simulator Beta Version]accompany this message.

Sincerely, Equipment Department.
