Because the Realm had made it very clear that if there was a request that it could not fulfill, or if it exceeded the merit points that Sheyan and the contestants deserved, the request would be nullified. It was impossible for the Realm to pester Sheyan and the contestants like flirting with girls. If flirting didn't work, they would switch to flirting; if flirting didn't work, they would switch to kissing; if kissing didn't work, they would switch to hugging; if hugging didn't work, they would switch to holding hands … So, Sheyan considered it carefully.
"I'm already a Colonel, and my achievement points are close to that of a Major General, so can I ask a few questions first?"
This was Sheyan's military rank advantage, so the Realm could not deny it.
The Realm replied, "Yes, but I can refuse to answer questions that exceed your authority, or charge a corresponding fee for certain questions."
Sheyan nodded his head and replied.
"Are all the questions about Bind forbidden?"
"Yes," the Realm replied. "That question is free."
Sheyan continued.
"Then, I killed a guy called Fate before. What's the name of his ability that seemed to be able to control the luck of others and cause bad luck to befall them? This question doesn't involve a higher rank than mine, and it also involves a hostile Realm. That guy's military rank is lower than mine, so you should be able to answer it, right? "
[Searching data … Please wait a moment. Data is being restored. Estimated time to search is 60 minutes. If you can provide relevant node information, the search time will be greatly reduced.]
"… What do you mean by relevant node information?"
[Things that can be related to Fate, such as personal belongings, evidence, etc.]
Sheyan's eyes lit up.
"Zi, that ring of yours is a '+ 7 Stark's Energy Component' (high-quality). Show it to the Realm. It's a relic of his."
The ring on Zi's finger suddenly glowed with a soft light. Soon, a series of notifications were transmitted.
[Location successful. Data entering …. The ability of contestant A801C71 is called the 'Power of the Dead'. It's a unique ability of the 'Final Destination' world.]
"'Power of the Dead'?" Sheyan pondered for a moment before asking, "What's the Realm's evaluation of this ability?"
[If you want the correct answer to this question, you'll have to pay 10,000 utility points,] the Realm replied.
Sheyan simply waved his hand and said, "Here.
"Here you go. Can you answer now?"
"The Power of the Dead is rated as an * * ability. The way to learn it is to gain the trust of an important storyline character, the Coroner, in the Final Destination world (the relationship has reached the level of Worship), and learn it here. Because it is not difficult to learn but difficult to improve, it is rated as an * * ability."
After reading the realm's reply, Sheyan felt that his 10,000 utility points were worth it. He then asked:
"How difficult is it to revive a teammate?"
"Very difficult."
After hearing the Realm's answer, everyone's faces darkened. Sheyan also closed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he pulled Sanzi in front of him and said a few words to him. Sanzi looked very surprised after hearing that. He hesitated for a moment before speaking to the Realm.
"Now, it's time for me to make my first request."
"Please state your request, esteemed Chosen One." Although the voice of the Space was still a mechanical synthetic voice, it had strangely added the word "Respectable"! Sheyan cursed the Realm in his heart for looking down on him. He was already a Colonel, yet he didn't receive any honorifics. Sanzi wasn't even a Growth Hunter ….
Sanzi took a look at Sheyan and mustered up his courage.
"My first request is that I want to master the Power of the Dead ability."
Reef and Zi were shocked when they heard Sanzi's words. It turned out that Sheyan had been planning for so long because he wanted the Power of the Dead ability!
To be honest, Bind's ability could be said to be extremely strange. He could kill people without leaving a trace and was extremely detestable. But if one were to put themselves in Bind's shoes and use this ability to harm others, one would definitely raise both hands in approval.
There were two reasons why Sheyan wanted Sanzi to bring up this request.
Firstly, based on his calculations, if he wanted to ask the Realm to bestow him a * * ability for no reason, their previous contributions were still not enough. That was to say, the Realm had a 50% chance of giving them the ability, but there was also a 50% chance of rejecting them. Therefore, he wanted Sanzi, the Chosen One, to earn extra impression points.
More importantly, Sheyan definitely hoped that he would emerge victorious in every battle. All the good abilities would be his, and all the awesome equipment would be his. But in reality, how could that be possible? Every contestant had their own opportunities. The only difference was whether they could grasp them in time.
Of course, Sheyan wanted to have the Power of the Dead ability, but he also felt that this ability was extremely feminine and could take the enemy's head from thousands of miles away. It did not match his current identity as an MT and his actual fighting style.
Sheyan's current style was very much like that of a blood-soaked general who swore to take the enemy's head even in the midst of an army of ten thousand. Meanwhile, the 'Power of the Dead' was like smearing some dichlorvos on Diao Chan's butt. His opponent would not even know how they died. The two styles were completely incompatible.
Sheyan also felt that a certain level of Intelligence and Spirit was required to fully display the lethality of the Power of the Dead, which was the main reason why he asked Sanzi to bring up this ability.
***
After Sanzi made this request to the Realm, the Realm replied without any fluctuation in its voice.
"Dear Chosen One, your request can be fulfilled, but you will have to pay a fee of 20 achievement points and 50,000 utility points."
Sheyan couldn't help but raise his suspicions.
"Didn't you say that it's not difficult to learn? Why do I have to pay extra? "
The Realm ignored him completely, and repeated the same thing to Sanzi once more.
Party Ace lost a member for the first time in the 2012 apocalypse world, but they also went on a killing spree! Everyone received a lot of achievement points, so it was not a problem for Sanzi to come up with 20 achievement points.
It was worth mentioning that Sanzi had always been a real military officer. Zi and Reef had also realised the power of a real military officer after they met Sanzi, so they had also been clearing their reserve military ranks. Now, all three of them were real military officers.
Therefore, Sanzi simply chose to "pay" and received a magic scroll: "Power of the Dead".
The description was very simple: [A scroll containing the powerful power of the God of Death. After learning it, the owner will have the power to change the fate of others!] The prerequisite for learning it was to master level 4 "Meditation", level 4 "Astrology", and level 4 "Spellcasting Material Appraisal".
Among them, "Meditation" was an advanced version of "Meditation". Astrology was also a compulsory course for a summoner like Sanzi. Whenever he had time, he would divine the location of a good pet or the success rate of his next capture. However, the level 4 "Spellcasting Material Appraisal" was blank. He would probably have to buy it back in the Realm to meet the learning requirements for "Power of the Dead".
Apart from that, the Realm also wretchedly set the scroll to be soul-bound. The meaning was self-evident. This reward was given to the chosen one. The others didn't have this honor, so they only had the right to look at it ….
Strictly speaking, the fact that Party Ace was able to learn "Power of the Dead" so easily was because they had a great advantage.
This ability didn't sound like it had high requirements, and anyone could learn it. However, to gain the trust of an important storyline character, the Coroner, and reach the level of 'Worship' in their relationship, was an extremely tedious process!
The Coroner was a loner. He did not have any relatives, friends, or close friends. Everyone was indifferent to him. The only way to build a good relationship with him was to complete the missions he proposed.
The missions he proposed were not difficult, but they all required specialties from other storyline worlds! There were all sorts of strange things that weren't too expensive or hard to find. For example, snot flavored candies from the Harry Potter world, hardtack biscuits from the StarCraft world, zombie chicken from the Resident Evil world, a roll of toilet paper from the Titanic …
Therefore, to complete a mission, even if you were lucky, you would have to wait until you returned from the Final Destination world, then go to the Realm market to buy the items, then return to the Final Destination world to complete the mission... Okay, to raise your relationship with the Coroner to 'Worship', those with high Charisma would only need to complete a dozen or so missions...
Someone once tried to bring a large pile of things that the Coroner might like to the Coroner, but the Coroner could see what you had on you. He did not want anything you brought with you. What he wanted was your sincerity in running away. Although you could directly complete the mission from afar after accepting it, you would have to go back to the Coroner if you accepted the mission again!
The requirements for learning "Power of the Dead" were not high, right? It was indeed possible for any contestant to complete the mission as long as they wanted to. The key was that the process was so time-consuming that it made people roll their eyes!
The second request was made by Sheyan himself. He wanted to bring the demon Freddy, who was living in the body of his servant, Old Charlie, out of this world.
He allowed the demon Freddy to leave a seed in Old Charlie's mind. Whenever he needed to use the demon's power, Freddy would be able to be reborn through the seed. However, this ability had a limited number of uses. The seed could only be used three times before it completely withered, and after each use, it could only be used again in another world.
