Of course, to Sheyan who had already disregarded the police, his previous crimes were merely out of curiosity. To put it bluntly, it was to kill time during the dull process of concocting ingredients. As for the pungent smell of blood, the stench of burnt flesh, and the filthy environment, Sheyan chose to ignore them. The ability he learnt was obtained from the 'Uruk-hai's notes'. Who was the author of the notes? The fallen wizard Saruman! Therefore, the cruel and bloody process of concocting was needless to say.
After killing Yi Wufu, Sheyan received 12 potential points. Adding to his remaining 1 potential point, he now had 13 potential points to upgrade his rank 6 ability 'Black Magic Concoction (Incomplete)' by a small margin. Sheyan originally wanted to upgrade the first tier of 'Concoction Insights', but he realized he had already reached his limit. The nightmare imprint notified him: Before obtaining the other 'Concoction Insights', this was the highest limit of the ability tree. After further investigation, Sheyan found out that almost all ability tree branches below the eighth rank could only be upgraded to lvl 3 at most.
Following the relevant notification, Sheyan upgraded the 'Uruk-hai Gene Fluid: Cadaveric Eagle's Speed Concoction and' Uruk-hai Gene Fluid: Intellect Fox's Wisdom Concoction to lvl 2. Then, he unlocked the third tier of the concoction skill tree. The details were as follows:
Tier 1 – Concoction Insights lvl 3.
Tier 2 – Uruk-hai Gene Fluid (Bear, Eagle, Fox) each of the three great medicines lvl 2 (Agility and Intelligence + 3)
Tier 3 – Concoction Support Specialization (To be activated), Concoction Curse Specialization (To be activated)
Very obviously, the third tier's two options branched off, giving the wielder the choice of continuing to support his teammates or weakening his enemies. This was within Sheyan's expectations. A majestic rank 6 ability, how could it only have a support ability?
Sheyan had only expended 4 potential points previously, and currently had 9 potential points remaining. To activate the third tier's two skill branches, it was more than enough. He invested 4 potential points into 'Concoction Support Specialization' and 'Concoction Curse Specialization'. Thus, he activated the two passive abilities.
'Concoction Support Specialization lvl 1' description: Increases the shelf life of concocted medicine to 24 hours, duration increased by 100%.
'Concoction Curse Specialization lvl 1' description: Increases the shelf life of concocted cursed medicine to 24 hours, duration increased by 25%.
These two passive abilities finally solved Sheyan's biggest problem. Finally, he avoided the awkward situation of a battle... Following the activation of the third layer of the innate tree, the fourth layer of the innate tree appeared before Sheyan. Similarly, there were two branches that required activation:
Tier 3 – Concoction Support Specialization Specialization lvl 1
Sheyan's, Sheyan's to concoction Sheyan, 'Concoction' concoction
Sheyan 'Sheyan's' Sheyan's','s's's's's, 'Sheyan's's's's's's's','s's's's's's, treat ''s's's's's's, you's's's's's's's's''s's' ''s to his't'.... of his of of his of his, his his his his his his.
Sheyan was already pounding his chest and stamping his feet in regret. In the previous Starship Trooper world, he had decisively given up on his two mission rewards. That added up to a total of 8 achievement points!!!
Everything stemmed from when Sheyan wanted to upgrade his skill tree's' fourth tier, 'Concoction Uruk-hai'. His nightmare imprint transmitted a clear notification:
"Warning: Your upgrade will consume 2 potential points and 2 achievement points! Please confirm if you wish to continue? "
"Warning: Achievement points obtained through transactions cannot be used here!"
Sheyan still had ways to obtain 2 potential points. To him, 2 achievement points didn't seem like a big deal at the moment. But ….. but!!! This was only the fourth tier of the skill tree! This also represented an extremely terrifying fact. If he wanted to upgrade the higher level abilities below, then there was no doubt that he would have to spend Merit Points. At that time, the amount of Merit Points he would have to spend would probably be an astronomical figure!
Furthermore, achievement points were a symbol of one's status. Once one's status dropped, one's status would plummet as well. Sheyan seemed to have accumulated 56 achievement points (2 points missing from the previous calculation), but in reality, he could only use 6 points. Unless ….. he wished to be demoted from 2nd Lieutenant to Staff Sergeant!
Naturally, if his achievement points dropped below 50 points, to Sheyan who was about to form a party, it would be an unbearable loss. Without a strong party, his cohesiveness would drop by at least 50%. After forming a party, it would be even more impossible for him to give up his important status as a 2nd Lieutenant. Once he was demoted to Staff Sergeant, he would lose the qualifications to form a party. There would only be one outcome, and that was the complete disbandment of the party.
Sheyan shook his head, tossing this intense regret to the back of his head. Since the matter was irreversible, then there was no need to be tangled up. Doing well in the future was the proper thing to do. Sheyan first consoled and thanked Jessica, before entering the nightmare realm.
The realm remained the same. Gentle rays of light, organic like walls, and an indescribable mysterious feeling. Sheyan couldn't help but touch the elastic and warm wall beside him. He suddenly recalled the Mother Nest he had entered before, and couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought. Who knew what the Mother Nest would become if it continued to evolve? Wouldn't it be similar to the nightmare realm?
But he quickly shook his head, tossing these distracting thoughts out of his head. At present, Reef had yet to enter the realm. His current priority was naturally to check out the 'Elite Hydralisk rare acid gland' related messages. Regrettably, although there were many messages to purchase it, there were only a few that were related to appraising it. Furthermore, without exception, they all demanded exorbitant fees. The price range ranged from 5000 utility points to 12000 utility points. In short, none of them matched Sheyan's expectations.
"I knew there wouldn't be such a good thing in this world." Sheyan laughed bitterly as he shook his head. He then ran to the realm's official appraisal office to submit an appraisal request. After paying 1500 utility points, he waited for the results. Unexpectedly, roughly 5 minutes later, a notification popped up.
"Warning: Appraisal failed."
Sheyan spat out a mouthful of blood onto the screen. The result was actually 'Appraisal failed'!! There was actually such a fraudulent situation. Fortunately, the appraisal fee was fully refunded. After retrieving the acid gland, Sheyan anxiously confirmed that it wasn't damaged before heaving a sigh of relief. But then, he sunk into a dilemma. After returning to his personal room, Sheyan hesitated for half a day. Suddenly, he noticed a hunchbacked Jinkuang carrying a tattered sackcloth bag sneaking in. His sneaky appearance, was no different from a mouse that had stolen an egg.
After entering, Jinkuang gulped down a stomach full of tap water, comfortably burping. Then, he fished out a cigarette butt from the sackcloth bag, and started smoking happily. Sheyan was speechless and powerless as he protested.
"Hey, what are you doing. What I'm smoking is someone else's secondhand smoke butt, and now I'm being forced to smoke your secondhand smoke … … .is this considered fourth hand smoke pollution?"
Jinkuang completely ignored his master's existence, and started counting the loot in the sackcloth bag in high spirits. Sheyan suddenly recalled that this guy had used an appraisal report before, his eyes sparkling as he asked.
"Oi oi oi, David. Do you accept 500 utility points job?"
In the next second, Jinkuang appeared in front of Sheyan. His eyes were sparkling, and his hands were spread out in a begging posture.
"My dearest master, I'll accept any job that can increase my income."
Sheyan was about to hand over the hydralisk's acid gland to Jinkuang, but his heart suddenly felt a sense of danger. Casting a malicious gaze towards Jinkuang, he retrieved the hydralisk's acid gland and spoke from afar.
"Don't come near, I'll test you first. What is this thing? You're violating the rules! "
Jinkuang opened his mouth, tiptoeing for a long time. He then took out a pair of reading glasses and posed like Sun Wukong's' fiery golden eyes'. Finally, he slapped his thigh in enlightenment.
"Isn't this the pig's heart and lungs sold in the market? Wash it clean, cut some red and white radish, mix some soy sauce, vinegar and green onions, and eat it. It can at least finish 3 bowls of rice! "
Sheyan was speechless.
"… ….."
Goblin Jinkuang beamed with delight as he continued.
"How is it, I'm right!"
Sheyan very powerlessly replied.
"I'm very certain of your strength now, but I still have one last question. 3 bowls of rice is 3 bowls of rice, why must you 'finish' 3 bowls of rice?"
Jinkuang laughed sinisterly.
"Don't you think that word is very powerful? Oi oi, my dearest master, why did you leave, where's the job we agreed on? … … .at least leave me that lump of pig's heart and lungs, I can at least save a week's worth of groceries! "
*****
Sheyan once again returned to the realm's appraisal office. He helplessly sighed, and then took out the hydralisk acid gland to request for appraisal. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
