Chapter 840: Powerful Scholar Ring
But at this moment, he felt someone calling his name, confessing something to him, praying for something. It seemed that someone was still on his "special attention list".
Zhou Ning curled his lips and chose to return to the kingdom of God. Naturally, among the stars in the sky, there was a dim star that was flashing light of different colors.
He touched the star and saw a thin, chestnut-haired young craftsman praying. Next to him was a middle-aged man in his 60s wearing tattered clothes.
This is the craftsman Eric and his father. Behind them are several men of different ages, also dressed in tattered clothes. They should be the tribesmen Eric mentioned.
Through Eric's description, Zhou Ning learned that his father had recovered. In order to thank the "god" for his help, he brought a batch of sacrifices to confess.
What surprised Zhou Ning was that among these items there were some unknown strange objects and even talismans with relatively simple and rough workmanship, and he had no idea where they came from.
Zhou Ning pondered for a moment and decided to respond appropriately. Eric and his tribe were crucial to his future plans.
The next second, everyone present could see a brilliant light descend from the altar, forcing them to shield their eyes. When the light faded, they discovered the offerings had vanished. Instead, thick stacks of Victar were seen, with more constantly sliding down the altar. A conservative estimate put the number at tens of thousands.
Then came a loud and vast voice:
"Whatever is given for me in faith, I will give double. But rather than expensive sacrifices, I desire earnest prayers and occasional vows."
Devout prayers and making wishes from time to time?
Having just witnessed a miracle, Eric's father couldn't help but tremble. He had originally been skeptical of the God Eric spoke of, as some demons would exploit the wishes of others to corrupt them and harvest their souls. That's why he insisted on going to the Cathedral of Stars to see it for himself. Only now did his doubts fade.
At this time, Eric, who had already witnessed the miracle, hurriedly pulled the others to their knees, prostrating themselves on the ground, and led them in reverently chanting the name of the "Creator God of Light" in a somewhat unisoned manner:
"Thank you. Praise you, the Breaker of the Starry Sky, the Lord who controls the authority of knowledge and desire, the Traveler who travels through the vast river of time and space. The Great Creator God of Light."
No wonder Gleipnir in his previous life wanted Eric to be his follower... It really makes sense. Isn't this a natural born charlatan? Zhou Ning muttered to himself.
But then again, I'm probably the only righteous god who works so hard to listen to believers' prayers in person and even give them money.
Next, Zhou Ning listened to the confessions of several people and fulfilled several of his more urgent wishes before he chose to withdraw his attention and return to reality.
By this time, he was already feeling a bit exhausted. With his current status, he could only respond six or seven times a day, which consumed a lot of his spiritual energy. However, the improvement was quite noticeable. If he persisted in this step-by-step process for another month or two, he might be able to reach another level.
His current power of wishing is at an advanced level, and he doesn't know at what level he needs to "completely control" it. Sensing the impending crisis, Zhou Ning's demand for power is even more urgent.
Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and grabbed the three props he had obtained before from the void, and chose to check them.
The first is the Scholar's Ring obtained from the hooded lady in exchange for the Dark Tome.
Zhou Ning had some guesses about the identity of the lady. She was most likely a high-ranking member of the Knowledge Council. Only they could possess such props and they had an extreme thirst for knowledge and magic.
Zhou Ning picked up the ring from the table and tried to infuse it with spirituality to eliminate the spiritual imprint left by the previous owner.
Then he put it on his right index finger and it went in easily. At the same time, the system panel was once again flooded with prompt messages.
[You have reached the hidden conditions for activating the Quasi-Miracle Item: Scholar's Ring.]

[The Scholar's Ring has activated a new ability: Rapid Mastery. The holder can fully master a learned subject within a month. The holder's mental strength is increased by an additional +15.]
Item Name: Scholar's Ring

Effect 1: Except for a few special skills, you can quickly learn completely unfamiliar knowledge within six days.
Effect 2: Except for a few special skills, you can fully master a learned knowledge within one month. (reach the maximum level)
Effect three: ?????
Negative effects: Every previous owner of this item died in various accidents, and the holder will become unfortunate and teeter on the edge of madness.
This... this newly added ability is really amazing! Zhou Ning never expected that in addition to learning, this miraculous item would have such a perverted ability.
This also means that you don't have to worry about it at all, just idle and your skills will be automatically maxed out. This can save a lot of experience, and the experience that was originally stretched becomes much more abundant. As long as you are not in a hurry, you can invest all the experience into leveling up.
This is more than just a quasi-miracle item. To me, the term "miracle item" is not enough to describe its value.
I can already imagine a scene where, given time, all of my skills will be able to reach god-level!
As for the special skills, Zhou Ning also had some guesses. It should be authority and substitute. If these two abilities can be improved, it will not only be a miracle item, but a divine weapon... Zhou Ning is not greedy.
Afterwards, Zhou Ning turned his gaze to the staff dropped by Cumberland, looked at it carefully, and then shook his head regretfully.
Item Name: Mercedes' Scepter of Eternal Destiny
Item Level: Miracle Item
Equipment level: 117
Equipment limited: Followers of the Goddess of Life
Attributes: Spirit +49, Will +49, Strength -3
Effect 1: Consume a certain amount of vitality and spirituality to adjust the target's fate in a small range. The higher the opponent's status, the greater the consumption and the smaller the adjustable range.
Effect 2: Consume a certain amount of vitality and spiritual energy to build the prototype of your own kingdom of God and make it come.
Effect 3: Consume a certain amount of vitality and spirituality to establish a certain connection with the Goddess of Life through this staff.
Negative effects: Vitality and spirituality will be continuously consumed when used, and excessive use will easily lead to madness and loss of control.
I hadn't expected this item to be a miracle item. Cumberland's ability to alter fate stemmed from it. However, the fact that it was restricted to followers of the Goddess of Life and that it could establish a connection with her was enough to render it useless. The only thing waiting for it was its own dismantling.
Next is the last dark ring, and I guess it is also related to knowledge.
Item Name: Ring of Holy Light Knowledge
Item Level: Unknown Wonder
Equipment level: 52
Attributes: Spirit +13, Will +2
Effect 1: It can consume a certain amount of spiritual power to identify the information of the item.
Effect 2: You can communicate with targets who speak an unfamiliar language regardless of their language ability and knowledge reserves.
Effect three: Amplify the holy light and spiritual power slightly.
Negative effect: It will slightly reduce your luck.
This equipment is quite ordinary for him, so Zhou Ning would consider selling it or simply lending it to Jasmine temporarily.
