End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

After bidding farewell to the two envoys, Jeremy waited for an additional half day.

That very evening, Howard and Benjamin finally arrived, bringing with them a substantial number of gemstones.

"Though the two envoys have departed, they left us with a critical task. When you unlock the platinum treasure chest, we must be present to observe the entire process."

Howard, while saying this, handed Jeremy a secure safe.

Jeremy nodded, taking the safe from him.

Jeremy was acutely aware that the gemstones provided by the military headquarters and federal authorities were certainly not without strings attached.

Even though the military headquarters and federal authorities might not necessarily intend to seize the rewards from the platinum treasure chest, they undoubtedly wanted to know what kind of rewards lay within.

"If you are ready, you can proceed to open the platinum treasure chest now." Howard said, striving to maintain a calm tone, though Jeremy could discern the excitement in his voice.

Benjamin remained silent, but the expression on his face clearly indicated his high anticipation.

Jeremy retrieved all the gemstones from the safe, then took a deep breath.

As all the gemstones were gathered near the platinum treasure chest, Jeremy extended his hand and opened the chest.

The moment the platinum treasure chest was unlocked, a dazzling silver light forced Jeremy, Howard, and Benjamin to close their eyes.

The dazzling burst of light quickly faded away.

The platinum treasure chest vanished as well, leaving behind a skill book and a long sword where it had once been.

Without hesitation, Jeremy activated the Eye of Omniscience skill.

When the Eye of Omniscience skill displayed the detailed information of the skill book and the long sword before Jeremy's eyes, he was rendered speechless by astonishment.

[Name: Platinum Skill Book]

[Level: None]

[Type: Skill Book]

[Equipped Skill: Spatial Seal]

[Skill Description: The Spatial Seal skill has three modes of application. The most direct method is to seal the enemy into an unknown space during combat, with the duration of the seal depending on the enemy's level and their equipment.

The second method involves using it on oneself and allies, in this scenario, the user and their allies will enter an unknown space to evade imminent damage.

The third application method is to use it on equipment and items. In this case, any equipment below level 70 and items lacking divine power will be sealed in the unknown space until the user lifts the seal.

A special note: The unknown space generated by the Spatial Seal skill is exclusively owned by the skill's user. No other individual can enter the unknown space without the user's permission.

The unknown space can be destroyed by external divine forces. By destroying the unknown space, external divine forces can extract or eliminate the people or items hiding within it.]

At first glance, the Spatial Seal skill appears to be quite ordinary.

However, upon examining the skill description, Jeremy discovered that the Spatial Seal could affect all equipment below level 70.

This also means that if a monster lacks divinity and intelligence, as long as its level is below 70, the Spatial Seal skill can almost always take effect quickly and be impossible to counter.

Moreover, the Spatial Seal skill is extremely versatile in its application.

It can be used as an offensive skill, and it can also serve as a defensive skill.

The most crucial aspect is that when facing items that are difficult to carry, the unknown space created by the Spatial Seal skill can provide substantial assistance.

After thoroughly reading the skill book on the Spatial Seal, Jeremy briefly explained the key information about the skill.

Howard and Benjamin were both visibly stunned after hearing this information.

"Can the Spatial Seal skill actually work against all monsters below level 70? Does this mean we can easily deal with the monsters in the industrial district?"

"Considering that the majority of monsters in the industrial district are below level 40, with only a few exceeding level 50, these monsters should have no resistance against the Spatial Seal skill." Howard asked Jeremy, his excitement barely contained.

Jeremy nodded in affirmation.

"I believe there shouldn't be any issues with what you said. However, after learning the Spatial Seal skill, it's necessary to practice a bit to unleash its full potential."

Jeremy cautiously remarked, leaving himself some room for error.

Howard smiled and shook his head, saying, "I completely understand that. You don't need to feel too pressured. Even if you learn the Spatial Seal skill now.

I won't immediately force you to single-handedly eliminate all the monsters in the industrial district. Both Mayor Benjamin and I will continue to support you."

As Howard finished speaking, he glanced back at Benjamin.

Benjamin, naturally, nodded with a smile as well, since he was counting on Jeremy to keep his daughter safe in the upcoming actions.

"Then, I gratefully accept your kindness. Let's quickly take a look at the attributes of that piece of equipment."

Jeremy said, shifting his gaze to the longsword. The Eye of Omniscience instantly revealed the sword's attributes before Jeremy's eyes.

[Name: Longsword of the Undying]

[Level: 58]

[Type: One-Handed/Two-Handed Weapon]

[Attributes: Max HP +70%, Attack Power +45%, Skill Damage +50%, All Attribute Damage Resistance +200]

[Equipment Skills: 1. Curse of the Undying, 2. Resentment of the Forgotten]

[Skill Description: 1. Curse of the Undying is categorized as a passive skill. When the wielder employs the Longsword of the Undying to launch attacks against an adversary, each successful hit accumulates corresponding curse attributes on the enemy. Once these curse attributes reach a critical threshold, the enemy will incur true damage calculated as a percentage of their maximum health.

The damage inflicted by Curse of the Undying scales with the wielder's level. Should the wielder's level exceed that of the enemy, the damage dealt by this skill can escalate to 100% of the enemy's maximum health.

Resentment of the Forgotten is designated as an active skill. During combat, when the wielder wields the Longsword of the Undying, they can actively trigger Resentment of the Forgotten when the enemy is in an abnormal state.

This skill can plunge the enemy into a state of mental collapse and simultaneously inflict damage on a divine level. The higher the enemy's divinity, the greater the damage inflicted by Resentment of the Forgotten.]

After reading the description of the Longsword of the Undying, Jeremy found himself utterly speechless.

This piece of equipment, in terms of both level attributes and skills, was a perfect match for Jeremy.

Moreover, the active skill Resentment of the Forgotten possessed by the Longsword of the Undying could even inflict damage on deities. The higher the enemy's divinity, the greater the damage dealt.

If Jeremy could elevate his level above 50, he could potentially use the Longsword of the Undying to confront the designers of the apocalypse game directly.

After all, the designers of the apocalypse game were beings with exceptionally high levels of divinity.

It took Jeremy quite a while to regain his composure after the initial shock.

Jeremy condensed the attributes of the Longsword of the Undying into a more simplified version.

He also discreetly withheld information about the two skills possessed by the Longsword of the Undying.

He then shared the simplified information about the Longsword of the Undying with Howard and Benjamin.

Despite Jeremy downplaying the equipment, Howard and Benjamin were still utterly astonished upon hearing his description.

"You actually acquired a level 58 piece of equipment?! I remember that the highest-level equipment possessed by the military headquarters is only level 49." Howard exclaimed.

While Howard found the attributes of the Longsword of the Undying already exceedingly impressive, he was even more astounded by its level.

It's important to note that level 50 is a critical milestone, as surpassing it allows for the third class change. The third class change is crucial for significantly enhancing human capabilities.

For equipment, reaching level 50 is also a remarkably significant benchmark.

Equipment that surpasses level 50 can almost achieve an instant kill effect when facing monsters below level 50.

Benjamin was even more overwhelmed than Howard, he was rendered completely speechless by the revelation.

"After all, it came from a platinum-level treasure chest, and it only provided two rewards. It's natural for the skill book and equipment to be exceptionally powerful."

Jeremy offered as an excuse in the face of Howard and Benjamin's extreme astonishment.

Although Howard and Benjamin accepted Jeremy's explanation, they still believed that Jeremy's combat power had significantly increased with the acquisition of the spatial seal skill and the Longsword of the Undying.

Once Howard regained his composure, he patted Jeremy on the shoulder.

"With these two items, you are undoubtedly the main force in Moonlight City against the apocalypse game. I will follow your lead in the upcoming operations." Howard declared.

"Moreover, I will order my subordinates and the Black Dragon Squad led by Ella to follow your commands. I don't think they would object to that."

"After all, their levels are all below 40. When facing someone with level 58 equipment, they wouldn't dare to question you." Howard continued.

Howard was thoroughly convinced. He had firmly decided to follow Jeremy from now on.
