Regarding the transaction that just took place, Sheyan had taken advantage of the situation, but it wasn't a huge advantage. A light blue scroll + a useless nameplate in exchange for a dark blue scroll plus utility points and food, this sounded like a good deal, but from a practical point of view, it wasn't like that.
To a contestant who had just entered this world, it was obvious that using long range weapons was more advantageous than close combat. Contestants who focused on close combat would naturally face greater risks. This point could be seen from contestant no.1844, who was unlucky enough to die. Therefore, amongst the contestants who had survived the previous nightmare worlds, long range combatants were definitely the majority! The number of consumers naturally determined the value of the scroll. This was also the reason why when the legend was in full swing and a creature called Brother Spring swept through the divine continent, a level 35 skill book 'Summon Divine Beast' was sold for 2-3000 RMB, while a 'Ice Roar' was only a hundred RMB.
After completing the transaction, Sheyan packed up his stall, directly walking towards a man a hundred metres away to purchase a 'Basic Close Combat' scroll, spending 2400 utility points. Compared to learning in the realm through the nightmare imprint, he saved a few hundred utility points. Ever since he entered the nightmare world, he was born with 'Basic Footwork' and 'Basic Physique'. Therefore, after learning this' Basic Close Combat ', he fulfilled the learning requirements of this advanced ability. Therefore, he naturally expended his only potential point to learn this dark blue scroll.
Although this exchange wasn't the result Sheyan initially wanted, but to be able to learn a 'Basic Close Combat' and a 'Grappling' advanced ability was pretty good, it could be said to be both offensive and defensive. Sheyan still didn't understand why that golden watch was so sought after, but he didn't care, after all it was in his hands, he could slowly research it. After expending a potential point to learn the ability, Sheyan received a series of notifications:
All ability upgrades were divided into three stages. For example, basic ability upgrade from level 1 to 3 only required 1 potential point and a few utility points. Level 3 to 6, every upgrade required 2 potential points and more utility points. Level 6 and above, every upgrade required 3 potential points and a large amount of utility points. Furthermore, this was merely the upgrade of the basic abilities. He believed that if he upgraded the higher level abilities, the consumption of potential points and utility points would be even more terrifying.
For example, to upgrade a basic ability from Level 1 to Level 10, the number of points required was 1x3 + 2x3 + 3x3 + 4 = 22 points! If it was a higher level battle ability, then it would consume even more potential points! Every time you complete a mission, you will receive 1 to 5 potential points depending on the difficulty and mission evaluation. "

After settling this series of matters, Sheyan returned to his personal room. Because of the nightmare imprint's navigation, he didn't get lost at all. After returning to his room, he felt unbearably fatigued, as he collapsed onto the floor and fell into a deep sleep. The floor wasn't hard, as though it was made of organic material. The room's temperature seemed to be able to automatically adjust to a comfortable range. Hence, there wouldn't be any cold issues while sleeping.
When he woke up, Sheyan's spirits were brimming. He spent utility points to purchase food from the nightmare realm to fill his stomach. Through the nightmare imprint, he found out that the realm's training grounds were at least a few hundred years ahead of the present world. The comprehensive training was directly simulating a holographic image of an enemy to battle with. Apart from the enemy not being able to deal any damage, it was no different from a real fighting master! Sheyan obtained two new abilities – 'Basic close combat grappling' and 'Specialized close combat grappling'. Thus, he rapidly familiarized himself with this training process. Time swiftly passed by during this training process.
During the intervals of training, Sheyan would occasionally stroll around the market. He once discovered a 'Basic long range combat scroll' that was priced at 1500 utility points. His dream of wielding the Desert Eagle was still alive, he couldn't resist the urge to exchange for it. But when the transaction was about to be completed, and he touched the object, his mind resounded with a merciless notification from the nightmare imprint:
Warning: The host's genetic code is suspected to be abnormal, the compatibility with this basic ability scroll is only 0.316%.
Warning: The probability of this scroll being ineffective is 99.718%.
Sheyan was stunned for a moment, before canceling the transaction. His face was filled with tears as he walked back to the training grounds. His childhood dream of being nurtured by gangster gunfights and counter-strike, in the face of cruel reality, was quietly shattered like a fiery teenage fantasy … … .from behind him, a scolding could be heard.
"Idiot, scram if you don't have money!"
However, Sheyan suddenly thought of something else.
Since there was a possibility of extremely low compatibility between basic abilities, then naturally there was also a possibility of extremely high compatibility between basic abilities? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but try to search for other basic ability scrolls. But regretfully, basic ability scrolls were extremely rare, and he couldn't find any. Furthermore, the realm seemed to only sell those two basic ability scrolls, and hadn't refreshed yet.
A day later, when Sheyan was worrying about his rapidly shrinking utility points (mainly spent on the realm's training grounds), the nightmare imprint on his chest suddenly heated up, issuing a clear warning:
You have stayed in the nightmare realm for too long, there is still 0 hours 28 minutes 19 seconds left before the 30 hours deadline. Please choose to enter the nightmare realm or return to the present world.
If you exceed the maximum time limit and remain in the nightmare realm, then you will be penalized with utility points. When utility points reach 0, you will be forcefully returned to the present world.
Sheyan had previously faintly guessed that he could return to the present world, but he didn't have a clue. At present, under the guidance of the imprint, he arrived at a small door on the west side of the realm. After entering, it was like an elevator, the door closed and formed a sealed space. A red light flickered incessantly, very quickly the nightmare imprint transmitted a message.
"The equipments you obtained in the nightmare realm have been forcefully removed and stored in your personal storage. Upon returning to the nightmare realm, they will be returned to you."
"In the present world, regardless of whether you are active or passive, you cannot divulge any information about the nightmare realm to ordinary people."
"Try not to use any special abilities you obtained in the nightmare realm in the present world. Otherwise, there will be a huge hidden danger. "(Passive abilities exception)
"After leaving the nightmare realm, you can only enter again after 7 days."
"When the nightmare imprint heats up, you must return to the nightmare realm within 24 hours to accept a mission. Return method: While walking down the stairs, focus your mind on the nightmare imprint."
"Time in the nightmare realm is not synchronized with the present world."
"Your innate ability: 'Endurance' (passive) is classified as a hidden ability and has yet to be unlocked. You are unable to obtain the effects of this passive ability in the present world.
Although the message didn't mention the consequences of violating these rules, the strict and cruel intent was obvious. Sheyan who had witnessed the miraculous nature of this realm definitely wouldn't want to experience the consequences of violating these rules. After the message was sent, the small door once again opened. In front of Sheyan shockingly appeared a pitch-black and long staircase leading upwards. He took a deep breath and slowly ascended the stairs. Not long after, a bright light shone in front of him. After ascending another flight of stairs, Sheyan suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air!
Dim and swaying lights, newly constructed concrete stairs, and a messy fence that wasn't even completed yet! This was shockingly the place where Sheyan was previously chased into an incomparably sorry state. The ground was dripping with fresh blood, and there were even clear scratch marks!
This should be the so-called time asymmetry phenomenon. This was a theory proposed by Einstein in the past. That is to say, if a spaceship flew at close to the speed of light, then the time on the spaceship would flow slower. If the spaceship could reach the speed of light, then the time on the spaceship would be out of sync with the time on Earth. In ancient Chinese terms, a day in heaven is a year in the human world. Theoretically, it also existed.
Sheyan stood there sluggishly, gazing down at the spacious staircase. He couldn't help but raise his hand and carefully examine it. The previous few days and nights of experience, recalling it now felt like a rippling dream that wasn't real. His entire body was slightly trembling. Although he was excited to return to the present world, he was faintly worried about personal gains and losses.
Suddenly, clamorous voices and angry curses drifted in from below! Following that, Sheyan could see a large group of people rushing in from the entrance of the construction site. These people were covered in mud and looked extremely miserable. They were panting heavily and couldn't wait to spit out their tongues. In their hands were knives, watermelon knives, steel pipes, wooden sticks etc. They were Huashan Fei's hired thugs. Coincidentally, Sheyan was standing under the illumination of the staircase, like a lighthouse in the darkness. The thugs below had always viewed him as a thorn in their flesh, their sharp eyes immediately recognised him. Pointing over, they excitedly shouted out.
"That damned punk is right there!"
