Note: During its forging, the Ethereal Divine Stone was fused into it. The divine shadow wings will shift back and forth between reality and illusion, making them difficult to hit... A pseudo super divine artifact is terrifyingly strong; this was also Xiao Xing's first time hearing of and seeing equipment of this Rank.

The higher the Charisma, the better-looking this type of equipment is. Once a character wears it, they naturally appear more handsome and charming. Just by standing in the city with these wings on, one could instantly become the most eye-catching guy in the entire city.

The bonuses to attributes and defense were also incredibly high, even higher than the luck necklace.

Besides that, there were two special effects; the damage absorption was even higher than the dragon scale inner armor.

However, when a player's equipment has the same effect, only the one with the highest value takes effect—they do not stack. Therefore, by wearing the wings, Xiao Xing could only absorb 50% of damage.

Super Evasion was also extremely powerful. Even if he stood there without moving, if an opponent slashed at him 10 times, at most only 5 would hit.

Because of the addition of the Ethereal Divine Stone, the wings would shift between reality and illusion; that's where the 50% evasion came from.

Flight is a must-have for all wings, so there was no need to say more about that.

High-Speed Flight was also very strong. As long as he had enough mana, he could sustain it for a long time. If his mana recovery was fast enough, he could even keep it active indefinitely.

Additionally, the wings could protect him, adding an extra invincibility state.

As for the final ultimate skill, one could tell it was extraordinary just by the description. This was a large-scale destructive skill, an indiscriminate strike like a rainstorm. Enemies within the attack range had no way to avoid the attack unless they used defense or escape skills.

Xiao Xing immediately equipped them and took a look; they were incredibly handsome.

Behind him, two wings over a meter long emitted a brilliant eight-colored rainbow glow. Due to the Ethereal Divine Stone, the wings and his body flickered in and out of existence, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.

However, although the character flickered, it did not affect any social interactions besides evading attacks.

After putting on the wings, his agility and defense received significant boosts. As his base attributes grew, the attribute bonuses he received would become even higher.

He was determined to get those treasures that increased attributes. Improving base attributes not only strengthened the game character but would also reflect more strength in reality.

Today's Golden Finger had already been used, so those jade liquids in Yuantai Ling's hands had to be set aside for now. The urgent priority was to go back and buy shops.

At this Early Stage of the game, it was impossible for other players to have reached the Rank of Baron. Even if they had, they wouldn't have enough gold coins to buy shops for the time being.

However, those guilds moved very quickly, especially those Super Guilds; their commercial presence in reality was that of absolute behemoths.

Even before the game's open beta, they had already seen the infinite business opportunities within. With many financial syndicates investing, money was not an issue at all.

The problem was that in the Early Stage, no one was selling gold coins yet. They could only rely on their guilds' massive gold-farming teams to quickly collect gold.

Xiao Xing used his mount's Space-Time Leap to return directly to Star Sea City. However, he had already put away his winged equipment, so he didn't cause any commotion.

He arrived at the city's real estate exchange. Inside was a large hall with a counter, where a female NPC was sitting and sleeping soundly.

“Little sister, I want to buy property.”

Seeing the sleeping woman, Xiao Xing called out.

But after waiting a while, the woman showed no sign of waking up, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

“Wake up.”

Xiao Xing walked over and patted her cheek, intending to wake her up forcefully.

He didn't know what this woman had been doing all night. Her body was leaning against the chair behind her, head tilted back as she snored loudly, with snores coming from her nose from time to time.

“Ah! What are you doing?”

The woman was startled awake and immediately jumped. When she saw Xiao Xing, she showed a wary expression.

She was thinking that this person was so close to her; had he taken advantage of her while she was asleep? Thus, the look she gave Xiao Xing was very unfriendly.

“Buying property.”

Seeing her wake up, Xiao Xing didn't say much and directly displayed his noble title.

Buying property in the game was very simple. Once the required noble title was reached, as long as one had enough money, the transaction could be completed instantly.

He wanted to buy up most of the shops, guild headquarters, and manors in every city, then sell them to players when they had the ability to afford them.

As for ordinary houses, he wouldn't buy them. Those types of houses were generally bought by low-to-mid-tier players for resting; the space was very small, almost only enough for the character to rest.

Houses could quickly restore stamina. As strength increased, stamina also increased; when fatigued, it would take a long time to recover just by meditating.

Many players would buy houses to rest in order to save money, as they couldn't afford to constantly buy high-end cuisine for recovery.

Especially for those doing business in the city, having a house for quick recovery meant they didn't have to wait half a day meditating when fatigued.

There were also Blacksmiths, Chefs, Alchemists, and so on; crafting items also consumed stamina. Since they worked in the city, buying a house was very convenient.

Xiao Xing didn't want to buy those kinds of houses. He wanted to fleece the wealthy and Super Rich Players; spending their money gave him peace of mind.

“Oh, so it’s Lord Viscount here to buy property! Come quickly and take a look, we have all kinds of houses here.”

After seeing Xiao Xing's title, the woman quickly opened the virtual map, appearing extremely enthusiastic.

She had been working here for almost two years and had only sold a few houses.

She was used to no one coming to buy property, so for over a year, she had been making accessories at night to sell for money and sleeping here during the day. Since no one came anyway, she could get paid just for sleeping—why not?
