After leaving the clinic, Sheyan's legs were still wobbly. After finding a steakhouse for a hearty meal, the first sentence he uttered was:
"Dammit, if I'm still in such a state when I'm infected with a rank 3 disease, I'm dead for sure! Motherf * cker, I've underestimated the difficulty of an S rank ability! "
Reef and Mogensha chortled in unison. Mogensha lit up a cigar and puffed out a smoke ring before asking.
"Boss, why don't we think of a way to invest in a hospital? I know of a diamond mine and an oil mine in Somalia, but I've never been interested. "
Sheyan's thick black brows furrowed, as though two blades were chopping against each other. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and replied.
"Oil can be eliminated first, because we don't have the intermediate links for transportation. If the production is too small, we won't be able to earn anything. If the production is too large, it will involve tankers and other intermediate links, involving people and materials. Moreover, oil is a strategic resource that can easily be sealed off by major countries … … .instead, we can consider diamonds. Can Reef help us contact a distribution channel? "
Reef nodded and replied.
"No problem."
At this moment, Brother Black suddenly recalled something. He wanted to understand the attributes of the rank 2 disease Sheyan just learned, 'Bronchitis'. Sheyan straightforwardly displayed it.
[Rank 2 branch disease: Bronchitis lvl 1]
[This ability can only be used on enemies who already possess the 'Cold' disease. Ability that affects the same tier: Influenza. "
[When an enemy who already possesses the 'Cold' disease is affected by 'Bronchitis', the onset period is 5 minutes]
[Effect: Every 25 seconds, the enemy has a 25% chance of experiencing the negative effect of 'Violent Coughing'. This effect can be triggered simultaneously with the negative effect of 'Cold']
[Violent Coughing: During this period, the enemy will be unable to move, attack or cast spells. Duration of 2 seconds. After three episodes of 'Violent Coughing', the next 'Violent Coughing' will cause the enemy to suffer an additional 150 points of bleeding damage for 15 seconds]
[When the enemy is affected by 'Bronchitis', when the negative effects of 'Cold' (sneezing, shivering, headache) take effect, there will be a 10% chance of triggering 'Violent Coughing']
[You can choose to activate or deactivate this branch ability at any time. Activating and deactivating this ability requires 10 MP]
"This branch ability can coexist with certain virus branch abilities."
[When the enemy leaves the infected area of your virus, the effect of your virus will continue to take effect on them for 10 minutes.]
"Please quickly invest Achievement Points to strengthen this branch ability so that you can unlock a higher-level Talent Skill Tree!"
Although he really wanted to strengthen his' Bronchitis' ability, this rank 2 ability required a total of 6 achievement points to activate. Even if he reduced it by 50%, it would still require 3 achievement points!
At present, Sheyan only had 102 achievement points left. Even if he wanted to continue investing points in 'Bronchitis', he felt powerless. Only now did he realize that his need for achievement points could be described as thirsting for them.
Fortunately for now, the consumption of the two 'Disease' effects wasn't too great. It wasn't to the point of 'not being able to use them'.
At present, it was time for the nightmare realm to re-enter. The trio then returned to the nightmare realm.
First, they received a piece of good news. The Xenomorph Skull Shield that Reef had displayed on the shelves had actually been purchased!
Bear this in mind, Reef's intention was to display his goods and not to sell it off. Hence, he marked out a price that far exceeded his expectations.
80,000 utility points + 50 potential points.
According to Reef's own estimation, he would be perfectly satisfied if he could sell it for 50,000 utility points + 25 potential points. Yet someone actually bought it at the price he marked out. He reckoned that person must have encountered a life or death situation, and was in urgent need of a spendthrift to convert his non-combat strength into combat strength. From this, one could tell how expensive an MT equipment was.
As for the two green equipment, they similarly received great popularity. Fortunately, Sheyan had marked out a perverted display price of 9999999. If not, they would've been instantly purchased by the rich. Even so, there were no less than 20-30 people who contacted Sheyan through the realm messages (similar to a recorded phone call). Sheyan's personal mailbox was stuffed to the brim.
With a sudden influx of funds, Brother Black and Reef naturally rushed out to spend. As for Sheyan, he could only remain in his personal mailbox to deal with the messages. Ever since Sheyan's military rank was promoted, the realm messages had been neatly floating above his desk in the form of illusory envelopes. It looked similar to the computer technology in Avatar.
With a gentle swipe of his finger, the silver-grey message floating at the top floated in front of him like a thin book. Then, with a flick of his finger, it would open up. 3D words would float out of the message along with the voice of the message's owner. It was as if he was talking to him face to face.
If Sheyan wasn't interested in the message, he would simply swipe his finger like Fruit Ninja. The message would then ripple in the air and vanish.
After reading through several messages, Sheyan's lips curled into a faint smile. Evidently, the value of these two green grade equipment had exceeded their initial estimation. Based on their current estimation, it had exceeded their initial expectations by 10% -20%. If used properly, then the value of these two pieces of equipment would far exceed the original plan.
"Eh? What's this? " After reading through dozens of realm messages, Sheyan suddenly realized that beneath the pile of messages, there was actually a faint smear of blood red! Not knowing why, an indescribable feeling suddenly surfaced in his heart. With a tap of his finger, the blood red message that was buried beneath was revealed. Then, with a swipe of his finger, he opened it up.
Instantly, the blood red message floated up, as it flew to an empty space beside Sheyan. Like a brush, it dazzled one's eyes, before finally forming into a 3D projection. It was shockingly Demondream!
Demondream's appearance was undoubtedly extremely miserable. Her hair was disheveled, one of her arms was broken, and her face was blackened by smoke. A horrifying hole had appeared on the right side of her chest. Amidst her mangled flesh, one could even see the scenery behind. Even the stubborn and unyielding expression on her face, had turned into desolation.
She stabbed a dagger deep into the ground, half kneeling as she raised her head to Sheyan and lamented.
"Seaman, I was wrong! Back then, I was the one who advocated abandoning you guys, so as to obtain more time to develop. I thought I could contend against Glory Party with that. Zi was originally inclined to ally with you guys, but under my interference, she had no choice but to abandon you guys. Therefore, if you have any grievances or grudges, direct them at me! "
"Now, Glory Party has invaded our world, and intends to annihilate our entire party! Archeaphill is dead, Yuan Zhan has betrayed us, Sable has betrayed us, and Deadsouls user Morda has been slain! I reckon I won't live for much longer. Only Zi is still resisting them. Although Zeus has yet to act, she won't be able to last till the end of this world! "
"Therefore, I beg of you, please save Zi! The Metals Professor and Glory Party definitely won't let you off. If Zi can survive, then your chances of surviving their ambush will greatly increase! I've already activated the'S 'rank tool:' Space-Time Wormhole '. If you accept it, you can use the' Space-Time Wormhole 'to locate our world! "
"Apart from that, I reckon by the time you read this message, I'll already be dead. However, through my military privilege, I've set up a will – if Zi survives and leaves this world, then she can randomly inherit one of my assets! This inheritance includes equipments, items, achievement points, utility points, basic attribute points etc. The rewards will definitely be generous … ….. "
"Lastly, if you meet Zi again, please tell her that although she will never accept it, my feelings towards her have never changed. I hope I can be a man in my next life … … .farewell, Seaman!"
After Demondream's final words, her 3D holographic image swayed chaotically, before finally vanishing from Sheyan's sight. Concurrently, Sheyan received a notification.
[Unknown target has unleashed the'S 'rank tool:' Space-Time Wormhole '.]
[You can freely choose if the tool is effective. If you choose yes, then you will be forcefully transported to the nightmare world of the unknown target.]
Sheyan immediately used his military privilege to inquire.
[Can the 'Space-Time Wormhole' transport party members?]
The following reply was rather straightforward.
[Yes.]
Following that, Sheyan received another notification.
[You received the will of Growth-hunter No. 89912 (deceased): Protect Growth-hunter No. 4421 from the current mission world. After success, you can randomly select one of the equipments, items, achievement points and utility points of Growth-hunter No. 89912 as your inheritance. Do you wish to accept the will?]
[Warning: 'Space-Time Wormhole' duration will end in 15 minutes. Please make your choice quickly!]
Sheyan took a deep breath and shut his eyes. Then, he swiftly notified Mogensha and Reef, hoping that they would return as soon as possible. Mogensha and Reef were originally out on a shopping spree. Soon after, they returned and cast doubtful gazes at Sheyan. (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.)
