Chapter 700 Four Pillars: Exploring the Mundane
"Hmm... where should I head to next?"
Leaving the Enlightenment Material Cache, Valyr began to roam the courtyard making up the Gates of Enlightenment as he began to rummage through some thoughts in his mind.
Of course, those thoughts were none other than the information he had obtained from the system regarding the important buildings within the Gates of Enlightenment, wanting to find out if there were any other things the place could offer.
"I've already gone to the knowledge repository that's specific to my class," said Valyr to himself as he continued to stroll throughout the place.
"I've also gone to the place where I could grab skills, as well as the place where I could obtain rare materials."
"Of course, the last one gave me more than what I bargained for." Valyr let out a slight chuckle at the thought.
Continuing to think about the matter, the young man began to frown. "Well, there isn't really any point in going to the three other knowledge repositories since I don't have classes necessary to use them..."
"And from the looks of what the information gave me, there's only like a couple more important buildings within the courtyard."
"Hmm..." Stopping in his tracks, Valyr closed his eyes as he pondered over his plans.
Thankfully, it did not take long for him to come to a decision.
"Yeah, I'll go with that."
Nodding in agreement with the plan he had finalized in his mind, the young man began to head not towards the few remaining important buildings in the courtyard...
But instead towards the other mundane buildings that made up the courtyard in the first place.
As for the train of thought that brought him to such a conclusion...
'Since the information I have more or less tells me what those buildings have to offer, why not check out the other buildings in the courtyard to see if they have something that might be useful to me?'
And so, he proceeded with his plans.
...
"Well then..."
"That was more eventful than I thought."
Resting at the center of the courtyard, Valyr leaned on the edge of a nearby wall with a smile on his face as he looked at the items that he had retrieved after he had executed his plan.
To be honest, the young man expected that he would only find mundane items in most of the buildings, considering how their information wasn't included on what he had gotten from the system.
Fortunately, reality told him otherwise, with the decorations and items stored within such buildings telling him another part of what used to make up the Gates of Enlightenment.
From items made out of precious metals to banners that seemed to have been created by master painters and calligraphers, almost all of the buildings were filled to the brim with such items.
Of course, at that point, Valyr more or less understood that the mundane buildings he was going through were actually the buildings of the higher-ups of the Gates of Enlightenment.
After all, he was certain that those in the lower rungs of the Gates of Enlightenment would not have easy access to most of the items in those buildings.
"Anyways, let's take a look-see at what we have..."
In total, Valyr had come across three items throughout his exploration of the buildings that aroused his interest.
Two of them were accessories he could equip, while the other one was a pill with a unique effect.
"I'm surprised a pill like this would exist in the starter planets." Taking out the small golden pill he had retrieved from his spatial bracelet, Valyr activated his identification skill on it to be reminded of its effects once more.

[Pill of Fortuitous Encounters] (Item)
Rarity: Legendary
Once a dream of an alchemist in the past, the alchemist had been successful in concocting this pill near the very end of its lifespan.
Culminating the experiences of all the fortuitous encounters they've gone through, the alchemist condensed the intangible luck contained within those experiences into a pill, allowing those who ingest this pill to obtain part of the luck they used to have.
To that alchemist, only those who have gone through enough fortuitous encounters would find themselves at the top.
Ingesting this pill increases the user's LUK stat by 20 points.

"You can definitely say that again." Faintly smiling at a passage he had read from the item's description, Valyr closed the screen he had brought up before consuming the pill in one gulp.
Ding!
[Due to the effects of the Pill of Fortuitous Encounters, your LUK stat has increased by 20 points.]
Briefly checking his status screen to see if the pill had truly taken effect, Valyr then moved his attention towards the two accessories he had obtained, retrieving them from his spatial bracelet.
"[Superior Analysis]."

"I guess the 3rd High Official guy was never able to give these two rings to the two Premier Guardians," murmured Valyr as he faintly chuckled at the items' description.
Then, without any delay, he equipped both rings on his hands, instantly feeling a substantial improvement to both his health and mana.
Giving himself some time to acclimate to the increase in his stats, Valyr slowly got up before heading towards a specific portion of the courtyard.
"I suppose I shouldn't delay heading towards the remaining important buildings any longer," said the young man to himself.
"It's about time for me to head to the Chambers of Enlightenment."
