After a lot of fuss, Lin Ye finally acquired a set of brand-new equipment.

Altogether, there were five pieces: a Priest Robe, Crown, Bracers, Shoes, and a staff.

As Orange-level equipment, this set brought Lin Ye impressive attributes and strength bonuses.

At Level 35, having such a set was more than enough to be the envy of others.

Even descendants from ordinary noble families might not be able to change into an Orange set every ten levels like Lin Ye.

After all, aside from levelless equipment, most gear would become outdated.

Diligently saving up for a set of priceless Orange equipment might only last a few years before needing replacement, which is indeed wasteful.

So, even the wealthy wouldn't spend on luxurious gear during transitional stages.

As for Lin Ye, he's an exception.

He's well aware that the Alliance's unconditional gifts are a kind of 'rich nurturing.'

It's evident the higher-ups hope this approach ensures Lin Ye remains rational and refuses other temptations.

Lin Ye thinks the higher-ups are somewhat overcautious.

But it doesn't matter; after all, he's gained substantial benefits, and such a set of equipment would cost billions.

"Not bad!"

Lin Ye weighed the staff in his hand, highly satisfied.

This staff is called the 'Staff of Redemption's Hope,' which is a typical staff for Priests with a high Healing Strength bonus.

Equipping it grants an immediate 10-point boost in Healing Strength.

Even just considering the numbers, even Orange gear from Level 40-50 pales in comparison.

However, the drawback is that this staff offers almost zero Spell Strength enhancement!

That means it's purely an auxiliary staff, an excellent item for Healers and Priests focused solely on healing.

For those in semi-support roles who also focus on output, it lacks a bit.

But it doesn't matter; Lin Ye could equip another staff focused on output.

As long as the strength attribute reaches five times the level, dual-wielding two-handed staffs is possible. Ordinary Priests wouldn't waste Free Attribute points on strength, but Lin Ye has no such worries.

With his stats, even wielding a heavy siege hammer in one hand is no problem.

Lin Ye can certainly procure another output-focused equipment to use.

After all, it's awkward for him to keep asking the Alliance for gear.

Having given equipment worth billions, it's a bit shameless to ask for an additional staff.

"Oh, I have a gift for you."

Just then, Chen Daosheng suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Teacher, why the sudden gift?" Lin Ye immediately declined, not daring to accept.

"Don't decline, it's just a token of my appreciation, please accept it!" Chen Daosheng, disregarding Lin Ye's refusal, directly took a staff out of his Spatial Bag.

"This is..."

Seeing the staff, Lin Ye was somewhat stunned.

Because it was a well-known Magic staff at Level 30, although only Purple quality, its utility did not lose out to ordinary Orange gear.

It was the top-grade equipment for civilian Magic Professionals at Level 30.

"This 'Raven Staff' comes with the attribute of trading 1 point of Spell Strength by sealing 100 Mana Value for an hour,"

Chen Daosheng introduced to Lin Ye.

Although other attributes and traits of the staff were quite ordinary, this one feature of trading Mana Value for Spell Strength raised the Raven Staff's value considerably.

Despite its pros and cons, the staff's per Mana Value output matches that of Orange quality gear.

Mana insufficiency can be resolved by stocking up on Mana Potions.

Overall, this staff's value lies in its output.

Especially for most Magic Professionals who can't acquire top-tier equipment, this staff offers a cost-effective way to compete with pay-to-win players and gifted anomalies.

The key is that this staff is one of the rare non-bound equipment, so there's quite a bit circulating in the market. Although its price exceeds that of typical Level 30 Purple gear, many Professionals at this level can still afford it by clenching their teeth.

Yet even so, the value of this staff nears the ten-million mark.

"Teacher, how could I dare let you spend..." Lin Ye hesitated to accept the staff.

"Relax, this staff is something I used, but I don't need it now, just borrow it. You can return it when you have better gear."

Chen Daosheng said with a smile.

At this point, it would be discourteous for Lin Ye not to take it.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Teacher." Lin Ye took the staff offered by Chen Daosheng.

It must be a lie...

If Chen Daosheng had such gear, he wouldn't have been so destitute after losing his job in his last life.

Even if he couldn't access Secret Realms, selling the 'Raven Staff' would have secured him a stable life, sparing him the hardship from illness-related work loss.

But seeing Chen Daosheng afford such a staff for gifting made Lin Ye quite happy.

It proved that in this life, Chen Daosheng wouldn't worry about money.

As an Alliance official, it's not surprising he can buy equipment at discounted rates.

Lin Ye accepted the staff.

This staff from Chen Daosheng saved Lin Ye from the hassle of acquiring another staff.

Moreover, the staff's drawback that involves sealing Mana Value is negligible for Lin Ye.

After all, he's got plenty of Mana!

If it weren't for such features being capped, Lin Ye might have swapped hundreds of points into Spell Strength for fun!

Of course, using Rule Coin to slightly 'overclock' could likely temporarily ignore the Spell Strength cap.

As for how to do it specifically, testing is necessary.

With his gear ready, Lin Ye could embark directly.

"I'm about ready. I can set off!" Lin Ye said, putting away the staff.

Chen Daosheng seemed shocked by Lin Ye's words.

"You mean to say you're going alone?"

"I'm enough on my own!" Lin Ye grinned.

In usual circumstances, he might consider assembling a team to farm attributes and talents,

but now, he's heading for the Space Mage's Second Transformation, how could he bring tag-alongs on such a mission?
