The situation of the Eye of Vitality seems quite normal.

The semi-metallic, semi-biological style purple armor that Gu Xi got before, was pretty much the same situation.

Although the number of these Eyes of Vitality seems a bit much, they look as if they were directly dug out from the Octopus-headed Undead Mage.

But it doesn’t seem worth such attention from his Converted Undead subordinates.

”Is there any problem with these?”

”Look, my lord.”

While speaking, the Skeleton Shooter handed his bow to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi took it and found that a piece of the Eye of Vitality had been installed right in the center of the Skeleton Shooter’s longbow.

Gu Xi looked over curiously and was momentarily stunned.

Gu Xi clearly remembered that when he converted the Skeleton Shooter, he chose a longbow with decent attributes for the Skeleton Shooter.

By decent, it referred to a quality that’s still okay, a Blue Armor.

At that time, Gu Xi didn’t know where the longbow came from; he couldn’t use it himself, so he just used it on the Converted Undead.

After the conversion was completed, the Skeleton Shooter kept holding the bow, and Gu Xi didn’t pay much attention to its attributes.

Now as the Skeleton Shooter handed the bow to Gu Xi, he was somewhat surprised.

He discovered that this longbow had actually turned into a piece of Purple Equipment.

And it was obvious from the longbow’s attributes that its transformation into Purple Armor was due to the Eye of Vitality.

”How many Eyes of Vitality did you use?”

Gu Xi immediately realized why the Skeleton Shooter came to him.

”One.”

As Gu Xi looked at the longbow and saw the eye wink at him, a thought crossed his mind.

”Earlier, we got a large amount of purple armor from the Octopus-headed Player, go get one for me to see.”

While giving the command, Gu Xi was also examining the Eye of Vitality in his hand.

The reason the Skeleton Shooter recovered the distributed items was entirely due to being startled by the current situation.

If it were just ordinary blue inlay pieces, they would have just kept them.

But if putting one of these on turns Blue Armor into Purple Armor, it’s either a deceit or a divine artifact; with such a thing encountered, the Skeleton Shooter didn’t believe he could just keep it to himself.

Gu Xi understood the Skeleton Shooter’s thoughts too.

He was quite generous with his own people.

For the trophies they got, Gu Xi would only take away Purple Armor, while for gold coins, negative energy, and deceitful energy pearls, Gu Xi would decide based on his mood, sometimes splitting half or sometimes none at all.

The Skeleton Shooter taking away Blue Armor or materials for enhancing equipment was no big deal.

But something that can directly enhance to Purple Equipment, and in such quantity, needs an explanation if not given to Gu Xi.

As he awaited for his subordinates to deliver the retrieved purple armor used as sacrifices, Gu Xi examined each of the Eyes of Vitality.

Gu Xi noted that in the description of the Eye of Vitality, there was no mention of upgrading equipment to Purple Armor.

There were only descriptions about enhancing equipment or enhancing the player themselves.

It could even be consumed.

This differs from the items Gu Xi previously obtained for upgrading equipment to Purple Armor.

Importantly, these Eyes of Vitality were somewhat plentiful.

Who would have thought that such a good thing would amount to more than a dozen.

After looking through all the eyes, and even having a brief staring contest with one eye, Gu Xi placed them aside.

At this moment, several pieces of acquired purple equipment were brought before Gu Xi.

Upon seeing these purple pieces, Gu Xi couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

Previously, Gu Xi didn’t think these purple items were useful, at least in terms of attributes, not fitting Gu Xi’s style, and the negative effects were absurdly strong, so he simply sacrificed them to the White Bone Obelisk or used them at the Blacksmith Shop as materials.

The situation over at the Blacksmith Shop is unclear for now, but the consumption at the White Bone Obelisk is quite substantial.

Gu Xi thought they had been used up by now.

Now it seems the situation is still okay.

Upon receiving one piece of purple equipment, Gu Xi first examined it thoroughly.

This was a helmet.

The kind that was half-metal, half-biological, Purple Quality, mostly made of pure silver, with only three areas having biological features.

One area was the face mask location, where two freely moving octopus tentacles hung down.

Another area was the helmet skirt position, where seven vertically aligned eyes were arranged.

The last area was inside the helmet, which seemed to be lined with porcupine skin, full of spikes.

As Gu Xi lifted the helmet, both the tentacles and eyes fixated on his every move.

It was precisely because of such an eerie sight, coupled with weak attributes and extremely strong negative effects, that Gu Xi looked down on these purple items.

However, at the moment, Gu Xi reached out and began plucking the tentacles from the helmet.

Upon removing the octopus tentacles, the helmet’s quality quickly fell to Blue Quality.

This didn’t catch Gu Xi’s attention.

Subsequently, Gu Xi inserted a piece of the Eye of Vitality back in.

As a result, the helmet, which had just turned back to Blue Quality, reverted to Purple Quality, though its new attributes were distinctly different from the old ones.

Clearly, the quality of a single Eye of Vitality does not match the effect of two tentacles.

The two removed tentacles, as if having lost their vitality, had no attributes or use.

This taught Gu Xi that these items are one-time use; once removed, there’s no putting them back together.

The reason the Skeleton Shooter and others could obtain so many Eyes of Vitality was definitely because the Octopus-headed Undead Mage had these Eyes of Vitality embedded in their body.

There is a difference between enhancing the body and enhancing equipment.

Otherwise, these already used Eyes of Vitality wouldn’t have any effect left.

After roughly understanding the usage of the Eye of Vitality, Gu Xi’s interest in them diminished.

He himself was not lacking in Purple Armor and, with the uncertainty of no other issues arising from the Eye of Vitality upgrades, this item seemed rather pointless.

The enhanced purple gear had poor efficacy, with negative effects that were off the charts.

Judging by the Octopus-headed player’s usage, a large batch of Eyes of Vitality or tentacles might be needed to ensure the Purple Armor’s effectiveness, but using too many of these items would turn the negative effects into something lethal, leaving no trace behind.

Gu Xi had Orange Armor and ways to handle the negative effects, but he saw no need for these items.

You could say he simply didn’t take them seriously.

Gu Xi thought for a moment, intending to have the Skeleton Shooter distribute them among themselves.

But just then, Dominic also arrived with his subordinates.

Upon seeing Gu Xi, Dominic loudly pointed toward a direction.

”My lord, we have discovered something over there.”
