Sheyan was still quite tired. In the previous world, he first had to fight a battle of wits and courage with the mastermind behind the scenes, and then he had to try his best to achieve the maximum level of mission completion. It would be strange if he wasn't tired!
There were a lot of things piling up at the moment. Fortunately, he did not have to give an answer right away, so Sheyan planned to take a good rest before thinking about what to do next.
He could not help looking at the reward he had just received, the liquid metal enhanced life-form (prototype). He wanted to know the specific attributes of this thing that he had painstakingly obtained, and whether it was worth all the trouble he had gone through to get it.
What appeared in front of Sheyan was a silver, viscous droplet-shaped liquid substance about the size of a watermelon. From time to time, a vortex-shaped glow would appear on its surface. When Sheyan touched it with his finger, it would slightly wrap around his finger and then release it. It felt like dough sprinkled with flour.
After inquiring about it through the nightmare imprint, a clear description of it was immediately given.
[Liquid metal enhanced life-form (prototype): This is a brand-new combat weapon developed using liquid metal as the blueprint. The life-form has been branded with your soul imprint. After attaching it to you, it can change its form according to your will. However, because it is only a half-complete form, it currently only has a buff effect. The details are as follows:]
[Order your liquid metal enhanced life-form to attach itself to a weapon. Your weapon will have a special effect equivalent to an additional + 3 enhancement. In addition, if the life-form reaches a key level (4, 7, 10) after attaching it, it will have an additional special effect. The additional special effect will be randomly selected to attach to the weapon.
Once the additional special effect is generated, it will be solidified within 72 hours. Even if the weapon is re-attached many times, the additional special effect will not change during the solidification period.
[Order your liquid metal enhanced life-form to attach itself to a piece of armour. The piece of armour will have the special effect of increasing HP by 500 and absorbing 10% of all damage.]
[Hint: Each attachment of the liquid metal enhanced life-form will consume 5,000 utility points. Cooldown time is 12 hours.]
Sheyan was naturally eager to try out this special effect. He looked at the liquid metal enhanced life-form in front of him. With a thought, the life-form wriggled like a snake and began to spread and spiral towards his pair of 'Planetary-Grade High-Energy Mechanical Power Gloves'. It seeped in through all the gaps. In the end, the liquid metal enhanced life-form completely disappeared. A layer of silvery-white metal appeared on the surface of the gloves, as if it had been plated.
When he looked at the glove again, he found that it had received a new description:
[Planetary state High Energy Mechanical Power Gloves + 3 (Temporary Enhancement), attack increased by 10-40 points.]
Sheyan checked his current utility points and potential points. After completing the transaction with Five Wheels, he should have enough. So, he decided to try upgrading his miner's gloves to lvl 1 in the Realm.
Although strengthening equipment was a very difficult task, and many people even lost everything in it (it could be understood as the difficulty of strengthening legendary weapons), it wasn't too difficult to strengthen equipment to + 1.
Sheyan placed the miner's gloves into the enhancer, and discovered that the realm had indeed neglected the temporary enhancement effect. The fee was also from + 0 to + 1. Therefore, this enhancement didn't consume much effort this time.
After upgrading, Sheyan discovered an additional attribute on the equipment.
+ 4 Temporary Special Effect: When you successfully grab an enemy with Tactical Throw, your Strength will be increased by 10%. This effect lasts for 30 minutes.
This special effect has domain precedence.
[Warning: Once the temporary enhancement effect is removed, this special effect will also be removed.]
As soon as Sheyan saw that the temporary special effect had domain precedence, which was second only to the domain precedence, he knew that the liquid metal enhanced life-form really had a chance to evolve into a divine artifact. The fact that it had such a high precedence was enough to explain the situation.
Now that he had confirmed that the liquid metal enhanced life-form was indeed very valuable, and that it had already displayed strength equivalent to a piece of dark gold equipment, Sheyan was determined to continue with this series of silver missions.
Just as he was about to return to the real world to have a good rest, the nightmare imprint suddenly heated up. It sent him a message.
[Dear Lieutenant Colonel, your achievement points have exceeded 200 points. Please report to the Hall of Honour as soon as possible.]
When Sheyan heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Mogensha, Zi and Reef were all experienced and knowledgeable in other aspects, but when it came to military ranks, Sheyan could be said to be the best in the whole party. Only the others could ask him for advice.
Although Sheyan was already quite tired, after a little hesitation, he still went to the Hall of Honour.
Ever since Sheyan was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, he had his own exclusive office area. He no longer had to queue up with others. When he arrived at the Hall of Honour, a dazzling light automatically radiated from his chest, and he was directly transported to the office. The people around him were of course envious, but there was nothing they could do.
After Sheyan sat down on the chair, the remote connection automatically started. He was already quite tired at the moment. He yawned twice in a row. Fortunately, it didn't take long for an indifferent robotic female voice to come from the other side.
"Contestant No. 1018, your current military rank is Lieutenant Colonel. Your achievement points have exceeded 200 points. During the celebration of the 1,300th anniversary of the founding of the Empire, you have met the relevant conditions and received an additional promotion opportunity. Would you like to participate?"
Sheyan was stunned for a moment before replying.
"What do you mean by an additional promotion opportunity?"
The robotic female voice explained coldly.
"You are currently a Lieutenant Colonel. To be promoted to Colonel, you need 275 achievement points. If you meet the conditions for an additional promotion, you can be promoted to Colonel in one go!"
Sheyan immediately began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.
The so-called additional promotion condition must be completed by completing the relevant mission. Under normal circumstances, the reward of a Golden Side Mission was usually only 30 achievement points. The reward of a top-level Golden Side Mission was at most doubled to 60 achievement points.
Of course, although the difficulty of a Golden Side Mission was quite terrifying, there were still other equipment and items as rewards in addition to achievement points. The difficulty could not be calculated based on achievement points alone.
After a rough calculation, under normal circumstances, the difficulty of a mission that rewarded nothing but 75 achievement points was almost on par with the difficulty of a low-level Golden Side Mission.
But after listening to the robotic female voice, since it was an additional promotion, it should be a special privilege. The difficulty of the mission would naturally be reduced. Even if it was only reduced by one level, Sheyan should still be confident in completing an 'A' difficulty mission. After all, whether it was his equipment or his attribute points, they could be said to be at the peak level of a Growth Hunter!
With this in mind, Sheyan felt that this mission was quite promising. After further investigation, he found that although he could not obtain specific information about this additional promotion mission, he could still obtain general information.
For example, this mission was, of course, only a single person could participate in it.
Another example was that this was an unusual mission. Intuitively speaking, when one entered the relevant world to carry out the mission, the flow of time there would be accelerated. Months might have passed in the relevant world, but after returning to the Realm, only a few hours would have passed for his teammates in the Realm. He could still proceed to the next world with them.
With this in mind, Sheyan naturally accepted this additional promotion mission. However, the specific content was not explained in detail. Sheyan was only asked to be prepared. He would be notified to enter the Realm to complete the mission in the near future.
Sheyan was about to leave when several messages flashed on the electronic screen on the table. Most of the messages were about the 1300th anniversary celebration of the Empire. He hurriedly gave up, but one of the messages caught his attention.
[The cross-realm auction is currently being held. The auction is only open to contestants above the rank of Lieutenant Colonel or Reserve-duty General. Sheyan, would you like to join?]
Sheyan was overjoyed to see this. In the trading market of this Realm, the chances of high-quality equipment appearing were getting rarer and rarer, and even if they did appear, the price would often be sky-high! Zi once saw a dark blue cloak with three attributes that all increased Intelligence. The cloak added 37 points of Intelligence, and the seller directly quoted a price of 400,000 utility points for it ….
When Sheyan saw this prompt, he decisively chose to participate, even if he had to pay 5,000 utility points for the entrance fee. His vision suddenly blurred and he was teleported to a venue the size of a basketball court. Hundreds of people were sitting in the venue, but he could not see their faces clearly.
The auction item was suspended in the middle of the venue, and the detailed information of the auction item was displayed in front of the seats.
The rule of the auction was naturally that the highest bidder would win.
More importantly, even if the participants did not have enough cash, they could try to barter for other items, or take out their valuables as collateral. The auction house would then appraise the items for loan or sell them directly. The way to participate in the auction was quite flexible.
The item being auctioned at the moment was a high-grade item that Sheyan had missed before – the Philosopher's Stone from the world of Harry Potter!
This thing was only 30 meters away from Sheyan at the time, but if Sheyan had been greedy for that distance, he would have died without a burial place. He did not expect that this item would appear in front of him in such a way! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote.
