Yi Chen, with a body weak and frail, widened his eyes and looked up at the Duke with an expression of benevolence.
"Duke, what exactly is this iron chain?"
"My original intention was to add a sense of reality to the gamble, to increase the level of pain. It was to be put away after use. Who would have known that you, my boy, would directly absorb it.
Just like the Gentleman's Skin you are wearing from the 'Mysterious Skin Market',
this iron chain also comes from a specific Source Epidemic Area—the 'Suffering Monastery'. However, this item is never sold or leaked to the outside world. Even high offers can't buy it; I just 'happened' to find it when passing through the Monastery's area.
I never expected your body to match the iron chain this well. We'll call it even, consider it a gift from me."
"This… Thank you, Duke!"
This was momentous, directly elevating Yi Chen's 'Pathological Traits' by a large step, and it matched even better with his physical body.
