Facing this rank 7 scroll, Sheyan carefully inspected it once more, immediately expending 5 potential points to learn it. In the instance of learning, Sheyan instantly understood why this scroll had such a high requirement on physique!
Because following the disappearance of the scroll, an indescribable burning sensation spread throughout his body! He could clearly see his HP plummeting, and that excruciating pain caused him to be unable to concentrate! It should be that to learn this ability, one must first resist the evil energy of the scroll. If one's HP wasn't high, one might even lose one's life from learning this ability!
After learning, Sheyan understood the difference between scrolls that could be determined by rank and those that used color to determine the rarity of the scrolls! Because after learning the uruk-hai's notes, the first thing Sheyan received was: Rank 6 'Black Magic Mix technique (Incomplete)'. Following that, a long skill tree popped out from the nightmare realm with a 'shua la' sound! The details of the skill tree were as follows:
Tier 1: Summary of Debugging Experience lvl 1.
(The following skill tree is split into 3 branches, all of which are on the second tier of the skill tree.)
Tier 2: Uruk-hai Gene Mix: Strength of the Bear of Flesh Mix lvl 1.
Tier 2: Uruk-hai Gene Mix: Speed of the Corpse Feather Eagle Mix (Unlearned activation)
Tier 2: Uruk-hai Gene Mix: Wisdom of the Lolli-Tailed Fox Mix (Unlearned activation)
There were 4 more tiers of the skill tree, and a long list, but they were all '???'. Probably because it wasn't learned activation.
Summary of Debugging Experience: Raising this tier's passive ability, can increase the duration of all the following medicines.
Uruk-hai Gene Mix: Strength of the Bear of Flesh Mix: Extract the essence of the great bear, concoct a powerful medicine, temporarily increasing the user's strength by 2 points. Medicine effective duration is 120 seconds, consuming the medicine buff lasts for 15 minutes. Consuming the medicine can be directly enhanced through the nightmare imprint, the effects will not be interrupted.
Details: Concocting this medicine requires casting materials and medium, specifically: Great Bear Flesh Powder, Water, Test Tube.
Sheyan was stunned. He immediately inquired his nightmare imprint and discovered that water and test tubes could be purchased cheaply from the realm. However, the 'Great Bear Flesh Powder' required a special method to concoct from the flesh of a bear species. If he wanted to purchase it, the price wasn't too expensive, but he had to pay 1 achievement point to purchase 5 portions. Ever since he was warned by the conferring officer, he no longer dared to casually use his achievement points.
The good thing was that the method to make the Giant Bear Flesh Powder did not seem difficult, and there was a special explanation: You can try to make it yourself in any world. Hence, Sheyan set his sights on the present world. The + 2 strength bonus was rather impressive. To a frontline warrior like Sheyan, the increase in strength not only increased his offensive prowess, but more importantly, he could prevent himself from receiving that terrifying crushing damage!
Sheyan then strolled around the realm, regretfully discovering that he still couldn't find a suitable weapon. After pondering for a while, he spent another 3000 utility points and 4 potential points to activate the other two abilities of the second tier – 'Cadaveric Eagle Speed' and 'Intellect of Dissolving Tail Fox'. He discovered that the former would temporarily increase his agility by 2 points, while the latter would temporarily increase his intelligence by 2 points. The casting materials required were 'Great Bear Flesh Powder' and 'Fox Flesh Powder'.
Following that, Sheyan continued his training in the realm. After spending over 30 hours in the realm, his basic perceptive sense had increased by 1 point, and his basic close combat and endurance had both risen to lvl 3. Spending close to 2000 utility points, it was definitely worth it. But obviously, the further he progressed, the harder it was for him to improve through training. After reaching a critical point, it naturally stagnated.
During this period, Sheyan constantly checked out the market, but to no avail. Finally, when his time was up, he directly left the realm and returned to Hong Kong. While he was inquiring about the whereabouts of Uncle Dasi and the rest, he was also searching for beasts, bears and foxes in the market. But to purchase such rare and illegal items, one had to have a special channel. Although Sheyan was rich, he was unfamiliar with this place and had no connections. Even if he had money, he wouldn't be able to buy anything.
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't consider raiding the Hong Kong zoo. But such a matter would definitely make the headlines of the newspapers and news. In this era where news relied on snatching, 7-8 missing people wouldn't attract the attention of the public. Instead, if the zoo animals were mysteriously slaughtered or went missing, it would definitely attract considerable attention. At present, Sheyan had already started to realize the threat of other contestants in the present world. If not for the last resort, he would definitely not act against the zoo.
"Then … …" Sheyan's mind surged with two choices. These two people should have the ability to help him obtain the items he urgently needed. The first person was obviously Boss Huo whom he had saved during the auction in Singapore. But even if he approached him, Boss Huo might not be willing to help. More crucially, if other contestants were suspicious of the auction in Singapore, they would easily investigate Boss Huo.
Thus, Sheyan's current best choice was to seek the help of that rich mixed blood girl, Jessica. Didn't she want him to help her race? In exchange, she would help him obtain the meat of those animals. As for the previous conflict, if she wanted revenge, she would've reported it to the police long ago. It wouldn't be as peaceful as it was now. More crucially, Sheyan wasn't afraid of her vengeance. Even if there was a problem, who could stop her from leaving?
Thus, after resting for a day, Sheyan once again headed to the Scottish Piper bar and sat quietly in a corner. The boss, Peter, wasn't around. Sheyan didn't know if he purposely avoided him or if he didn't come to work today. But the bartender's gaze towards Sheyan was filled with trepidation, he didn't dare to look at Sheyan when serving him alcohol.
Less than half an hour after Sheyan sat down, he heard the signature sound of brakes outside. Very quickly, the mixed blood girl, Jessica, and the taekwondo expert, Miss Kim, rushed over. Jessica's right hand was wrapped in white cloth, it seemed like her injury hadn't healed yet. Miss Kim was limping, and behind them were 4 men in black suits and sunglasses. They seemed to be the bodyguards from the previous incident.
Miss Kim glared at Sheyan and gritted her teeth.
"You actually dare to appear in front of me?"
Sheyan sighed and replied.
"Wait till your leg is healed before saying such things to me alright?"
Hearing his words, Jessica was the first to chuckle. She revealed her neat and exquisite pearly white teeth, as she sat in front of Sheyan and said.
"Hey, your medicine is rather effective, even our family's private doctor is amazed."
Today, her appearance wasn't as wild as before, but was more like a pretty daughter from a humble family. Sheyan's gaze slid past her full breasts, his heart couldn't help but feel a gentle and charming sensation. He had an impulse to reach out and caress her, but his mouth spoke softly.
"You said you wanted me to help you race?"
Jessica was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes! You're willing to help me? "
Sheyan tapped the table with his finger and replied.
"Help me find a few things, I'll help you this time."
Jessica snapped her fingers and said with a smile of exultation.
"Yay, it's settled then! Tell me! What things? "
Sheyan pondered for a moment, then hooked his finger at her.
"You can't tell anyone what I'm looking for, if not, our agreement will be canceled."
"Ok." Jessica bluntly replied. Sheyan then listed out his request in full detail. This mixed blood young lady's eyes widened, as she asked in astonishment.
"What are you looking for these things for?"
Sheyan had already thought of an excuse, as he fished out a unique wine flask – 'Endless spirited vodka'. He shook it in front of her and replied.
"This is a secret."
Jessica glanced at her hand, and instantly understood.
"Oh, so ….. so your wine ….."
Sheyan laughed.
"This thing is rather troublesome to produce, because you drank some, I need these ingredients to replenish it."
Jessica nodded and straightforwardly replied.
"Alright."
She immediately fished out her handphone, tilting her head as she started speaking. The person on the other end of the phone was probably her housekeeper, as he kept replying. Jessica then sent a short message, and everything was settled.
"You can get it tomorrow afternoon." She confidently replied.
Sheyan spread out his hands, and very gracefully replied.
"Then, I'll be at your service anytime."
Jessica's lips curled into a smile, complementing her high nose and azure pupils, she actually exuded a sense of inexperience.
"Today at 9 pm, Eddie and the rest are organizing a race, I haven't beaten him yet."
Sheyan lifted the brandy in front of him and drained it, as he insipidly replied.
"There's always an exception to everything."
.....
The roaring engine, frantic screeching, street lights, vehicles, pedestrians, signboards, and a world distorted by the speed. This was how Jessica felt inside the Maserati. She had been screaming crazily all this while. This wasn't only because the Maserati was leading the underground race by a wide margin, but also because the thrill of high speed gave her an unprecedented experience. She felt a sense of excitement and craziness after a victory!
