He tentatively walked toward the three corpses, trying to get a closer look at the glowing objects inside them. However, as he barely approached, the rays of white light suddenly shot towards him.
It felt as if something had flown into his body.
Then he saw that three items had appeared out of nowhere in his spatial backpack.
-
「Prop Name」: Recognition of the 'Poor Family's Filial Son'.
「Prop Level」: None.
「Prop Restriction」: No occupation restrictions, single-use consumable item.
「Prop Effect」: Upon activation of this prop, a pillar called 'Morality' will appear beneath your feet, which you can raise or lower at will, reaching up to 1000 meters high.
The pillar can last for a maximum duration of 1 hour.
When you stand on top of the pillar, you are immune to all attacks, and nothing can harm you.
「Prop Description」: This item can only be acquired in a certain C-level secret realm and has a special method of acquisition.
-
「Prop Name」: Recognition of the 'Tomb Guardian who guarded the general's tomb for decades'.
「Prop Level」: None.
「Prop Restriction」: No occupation restrictions, single-use consumable item.
「Prop Effect」: After activating this prop, you can enter a state of feigned death. In this state, you don't need to breathe, eat, or excrete, and all of your body's abilities temporarily go dormant.
The state can last for up to 1 hour.
While in a state of feigned death, your consciousness can leave your body, allowing you to be aware of your surroundings. Any impending curse or boss aggro will be instantly negated upon entering this state.
Any negative buffs received before the feigned death will be cleared after recovering from this state.
「Prop Description」: This item can only be acquired in a certain C-level secret realm and has a special method of acquisition.

"..."
Seeing these three items suddenly appear in his backpack, Chen Miao was somewhat stupefied. At the same time, the secret realm's mission panel also indicated that he had completed all the side missions and had successfully obtained the full approval of the three NPCs.
Who would have thought!
He had assumed that his side mission had surely failed—after all, the people were dead, so whose approval could he get?
But unexpectedly, it seemed that approval did not have to come just from verbal acknowledgment. As long as you killed them, you could also obtain their approval? Or was it that only the village chief's approval was verbal, while these three NPCs required force to gain their approval?
But these matters were no longer important now.
Chen Miao earnestly looked at the panels of the three items that had appeared in his backpack. How to put it, they were all one-time use items, usable only once, but the effects were very impressive.
The first item belonged to the invincibility category.
It allowed one hour of invincibility and could also raise a kilometer-high pillar. This could be very useful if one fell off a cliff or in a secret realm that required elevation.
One hour of invincibility is very useful most of the time.
It gives you more time to think about how to break the game, or it offers you an hour to write a will in peace—and after you finish writing, you can even revise it, correct any typos, and ensure your will is flawless.
The second item was also very impressive.
It was another life-saving item, and notably, all three appeared focused on preserving the player's life, as if they were afraid he would die. This item's function was simple: it enabled you to feign death.
It's not invincibility.
In a feigned death state, you can still be fatally injured; you just don't need to eat or breathe.
And it only lasts an hour.
Although your consciousness can drift outside your body during that time, it seems that this item will be useful in very few scenarios, such as if you inadvertently provoke a boss who is too strong for you to defeat, you could use this prop to feign death and reset the boss's aggro.
Being a single-use item with not so impressive effects, its value seems somewhat diminished.
The last item had the shortest description on the panel.
「Hundred Ghosts make way for you, honor you, and obey your commands.」
It sounded like an item for a supernatural secret realm. Using this item, you could command the surrounding ghosts to fight for you—a tool generally not needed except in supernatural secret realms.
It belonged to a special category of items.
Such items that are mostly useless in many situations tend to be difficult to acquire and are likely valued highly.
Because in most cases, items without apparent use usually imply that they can be extremely useful in specific situations, and this small chance of usefulness can often save your life.
...
"Not bad,"
Chen Miao nodded approvingly after a quick review of the three items. Just as he looked toward the burly man running toward him, ready to speak some parting words, a flash of white light suddenly appeared before his eyes.
After the blinding white light faded,
he found himself standing on the ground again.
The familiar road, the deepest part of the Land of Extreme Cold, he had cleared the secret realm and successfully returned home, to his new home.
At the same time—
A settlement panel popped up in front of him.
「Ding, settlement announcement.」
「Congratulations to Supernatural Occupation player Chen Miao for smoothly clearing the C-class group secret realm 'Poor Family's Filial Son' with a 100% perfect completion rate; however, as he is not the first player to clear it perfectly, he will not receive any perfect clearance rewards.」
「The list of people who cleared this group secret realm: Chen Miao, Cockroach. All others failed and did not clear it successfully.」
「Player Chen Miao will receive the following rewards——」
「Player Level Experience +100%.」
「Various C-class materials, 1w Star Coins, special items*3.」
"... Cockroach?"
Chen Miao looked at the panel with a slightly odd expression. Although the burly man had never told him his name, the settlement panel had fully revealed the man's information—he hadn't expected such a sturdy man to be named Cockroach.
And it wasn't a nickname, but a name recognized by the system.
Just like Lord Miao.
Unless, like Hungry Monkey, he had been called by a nickname from a young age and never had a real name of his own.
