However, you couldn't just craft this item—at least, not at a low level. You could only use certain materials to mitigate the strain, but the rest had to be brute-forced. Making just one of these could easily take half your life.
Zhang Deming played with the talisman for a long time with a joyous expression before carefully stowing it away in his storage bag.
'Something so precious should, by all rights, be kept in a vault. But given this thing's function, it would be completely useless if I just left it in storage.'
Zhang Deming emptied the rest of the contents from the storage bag. There was nothing else worth noting.
'If it weren't for the Substitute Talisman, this guy's storage bag would have been even cleaner than my own. At least I still have a good number of Tier One Spirit Nurturing Pearls I've crafted, along with other materials.'
'The previous owner... really cleaned it out thoroughly!'
'Still, this one Protective Talisman made the whole thing worthwhile.'
