Chapter 426 A Mini Artifact

The moment Shi Feng activated the Eye of Omniscience to appraise the item, he discovered that the appraisal would actually take ten seconds.

Shi Feng had used the Eye of Omniscience to identify countless unknown items before. Regular items usually took one or two seconds, higher-tier goods took two or three seconds, and even Mythril-rank items only required four or five seconds.

But this item needed ten seconds!

"I've really struck it rich," Shi Feng couldn't help but smile.

Accessories were inherently harder to obtain than weapons and armor. Many players in the Divine Realm had already reached level forty while still wearing accessories from around level twenty. Moreover, the quality of those accessories was generally low—most were Iron Rank at best, with Mythril Rank being considered impressive. That alone showed just how rare accessories were in the Divine Realm.

"Guild Leader, you're smiling so happily—what kind of treasure is this?" Huo Wu looked at the smiling Shi Feng, her curiosity growing even more.

"No idea," Shi Feng shook his head with a grin. "Still appraising."

After ten seconds, the system chimed with a notification—the appraisal was complete.

Shi Feng tapped on the deep blue crystal pendant to view its attributes.

"This is insane!"

Shi Feng's eyes lit up the moment he saw the pendant's stats.

Heart of Icarus, Necklace, Bronze Rank (Evolvable). Equipment requirement: all attributes 90 points. Equipment level: 20 to 50.

All attributes +8, Luck +5. (Current attribute level: 20) Innate skill: Divine Blessing—temporarily increases the player's Luck by 20 points for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 1 hour.

Evolution condition: Must absorb the souls of 100 Leader-level monsters to advance to Iron Rank. Current count: 0/100.

Although the Heart of Icarus was currently only Bronze Rank and its attribute bonuses were modest, 5 points of Luck was extremely valuable. The real showstopper, however, was Divine Blessing. An instantaneous boost of 20 Luck points essentially raised total Luck by 25.

Luck was the most precious attribute in the Divine Realm. It not only increased equipment drop rates from killing monsters but also boosted crafting success rates, providing significant benefits for life-skill professions as well. It was an attribute that never fell behind in value.

One point of Luck, at the current level range, roughly doubled equipment drop rates. While the marginal effect diminished as Luck stacked higher, 25 points of Luck should still increase drop rates by six or seven times over—which was terrifying.

As long as he activated Divine Blessing before killing a boss, pushing Luck to 25, the probability of scoring premium drops would skyrocket.

Previously, the Shadow's Blessing that Shi Feng had been wearing only added 3 points of Luck, and that alone had earned him substantial returns.

Normally, Leader-level bosses dropped Mythril Rank items at best, with Gold-grade drops requiring exceptional luck. But with 25 Luck points, taking down a single Leader-level monster could yield a Gold-grade item. Against a Great Leader, it was even better—one kill could net an Epic-rank item.

If you truly calculated the value of the Heart of Icarus, it probably surpassed even an Epic-grade item.

The only downside was that the equipment requirement wasn't low—all attributes needed to reach 90 points. In the entire Zero Wing guild, not a single member besides Shi Feng could meet that threshold.

"Killing 100 Leaders just to evolve it? That's a steep requirement." After reviewing the Heart of Icarus's attributes, countless ideas began swirling through Shi Feng's mind. Especially the Warfire set unique to White Fog Canyon—that was a 30-level Gold-grade set that countless guilds dreamed of obtaining.

The Heart of Icarus was still only Bronze Rank for now. If it could evolve to Gold-grade or even Epic-rank, the Luck bonus would likely increase even further. When that time came, running large-team dungeons would be an absolute breeze—it would practically be a mini artifact.
