Upon hearing Zi's question, Sheyan whispered into her ear. "That's right.
"My final trump card is a secret. You can't tell anyone."
Zi snorted.
"If you don't believe me, it's fine if I don't tell you."
But judging from Zi's expression, it wouldn't be a big deal if he told her. But if he didn't tell her, something big would happen.
Under such circumstances, Sheyan earnestly explained.
"The secret of my final trump card is that I can break through the 50-point boundary and become a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter at any time. However, that would completely break my previous plan. Once I become a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter, I dare not say that I can defeat those two guys, but I can at least delay them for some time."
Sheyan's warm breath brushed against Zi's earlobe. She felt an indescribable sensation all over her body. Her cheeks flushed red as she had never experienced such an experience before. She hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at Sheyan with a complicated expression. Then, she turned around and walked away. But after a few steps, she turned back and said hesitantly.
"Take care of yourself too."
*****
When Sheyan parted ways with Zi, he gave her the embedded gem 'Lion's Heart'. Then, he reunited with Reef.
At the same time, Sheyan checked the attributes of his dark gold necklace. It was still '???' But there was an additional activation condition. Under the activation of the necklace's active ability, he had to plunder three powerful souls as a sacrifice.
It was also specially noted that if the plundered soul was different, the activated attribute would be slightly different. If the plundered soul was good at close combat, then the activated attribute would be inclined towards close combat. If the plundered soul was inclined towards magic, then the activated attribute would be inclined towards magic. If possible, then it was best to plunder the souls of similar monsters.
It also pointed out that the souls of contestants were also included in the category of powerful souls. Sheyan speculated that if the soul of a contestant was harvested, then the obtained attribute would likely be exclusive to the contestant.
Reef suddenly asked.
"Boss, have you noticed that we haven't received the notification for the next world yet?"
Sheyan nodded and replied.
"According to my conjecture, the realm's assessment of my strength should be at the level of a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter. With you as a Growth-Hunter, and our party consisting of only two people, the difficulty of the next world should be relatively simple. The reason why it hasn't given us any hints about this world until now is probably because the difficulty of our next experience in this world is relatively easy. "
Reef nodded and suddenly asked.
"Why did you let Zi go? You didn't even try to persuade him to stay? "
Sheyan smiled and replied.
"Because she will come back. You should have told her about my current situation, right?"
Reef curiously asked.
"How did you know?"
Sheyan pondered for a moment before replying.
"She's a proud woman. There are two reasons why she left the team this time. First, she probably wants to try to become an Awakener, but she doesn't have the confidence to do so, and she's not willing to accept our help. That way, even if we fail, we won't know. "
"Second, she knows that I'm at the critical juncture of becoming a Growth-Hunter, and I'm only 3 points away from achieving my goal. If she joins us, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the next world. If she leaves, she hopes that I can smoothly transition in this world, and obtain those 3 points without any surprises or dangers. Then, I can accumulate my energy and stamina, and return with all my might to become a Growth-Hunter. "
"Third, I reckon Zi owes someone a favor. She feels that she has yet to contribute anything to the party, and isn't willing to seek help from the party. Therefore, she wants to repay the favor with her personal identity. Don't worry, she will return once she's done with her matters. "
Reef was enlightened.
"So that's the case. Also, boss, we've reaped quite a lot of loot this time, should we deal with them?"
Sheyan pulled out the inventory list for a look. The party storage was indeed plentiful. The equipment category included:
+ 7 Chieftain's Treasure
Voldemort's Lust
Life monitor.
Deformed Horcrux (Dark Gold)
Apart from that, the equipment category was a dazzling lineup.
Pandora's Egg
High Energy Crystal x1 Soul Crystal
[Pandora's Egg] Crafting Material: Obsidian Claw] If Party Ace hadn't learned the 'Muscle Explosion' ability, their collection would be even more plentiful.
Among these things, Zi would undoubtedly keep the life monitor for Mogensha. Because Reef and Sheyan had 'Life-link', they did not have much need for the life monitor. Only Brother Black, who liked to play with his heart rate, could use it to compete with the enemy's mental fortitude.
Sheyan had previously used up all his utility points to warm Zi's eager heart, so he planned to cash in some utility points now. Apart from that, Brother Black had successfully upgraded his trousers, but Reef's' Steel Claws' required the advanced ability 'Claw Weapon Mastery (Specialist)' to support it.
Although there were relatively few people who needed it, the production rate was also relatively low. The last time Reef entered the realm, he didn't discover anyone selling it. Thus, he hurried over to take a look before entering the world.
Sheyan set up a stall in the market, and the name of the stall was quite impressive.
Hemorrhage!
His main selling items were the + 7 'Chieftain's Love', 'Voldemort's Egg', 'Deformed Horcrux (Dark Gold)', and 'Obsidian Claw' crafting material.
Needless to say, the value of these items was exorbitant. Those who could afford them would definitely bleed profusely. Even those who couldn't afford them would rush over to take a look at the dark-gold radiance. Naturally, the stall gained popularity.
Following that, Sheyan displayed the 'Deathmarsh Great Crocodile's Horcrux x2, which were extremely practical items.
The 'Deformed Horcrux (Dark Gold)' and 'Obsidian Claw' crafting material might not be sold, but these two Horcruxes were highly sought-after goods.
After a short while, Sheyan's first selling item was the 'Solid Core Tree Arrow' he found from planet Pandora. This item was purchased by a contestant carrying a bow, and the transaction price was 5000 utility points. Following that, he sold the 'Deathmarsh Great Crocodile's Horcrux, which wasn't cheap at all, fetching a price of 35,000 utility points.
At present, Reef had also found a stall selling 'Claw Weapon Mastery'. Moreover, this' Ability Scroll 'appeared to be an ability that was plundered and engraved after killing someone. After directly learning it, one would be able to reach lvl 5; an extremely exquisite item.
This Growth-Hunter appeared to be about to enter the world, and was in urgent need of items to enhance his battle prowess. After a long discussion, Reef agreed to trade 30,000 utility points, 'Deathmarsh Great Crocodile's Horcrux,' Mystical Ointment '(acquired from the Pirates of the Caribbean world, remaining usage: 17), and an honorary medicine dosage.
This price wasn't a clear winner or loser. After all, claw weapons were extremely rare, and the demand was low. Encountering a patient seller and spendthrift, it was possible to sell for 5-6 times the price. But to a seller who was in a hurry to cash in, this was undoubtedly a pretty good deal.
After Reef acquired the 'Claw Weapon Mastery + 5', the most direct enhancement was that when using claw weapons to attack enemies, his damage was evidently increased by 10%. Furthermore, his bleeding damage was increased by 33%. Apart from that, his blocking rate was also increased by 3%.
Nevertheless, upgrading the basic ability with the 'Mark of Mastery' was still a huge money-burning expense. Reef originally intended to upgrade his new shield and weapon to + 3, but when he saw the price of upgrading, he was instantly flabbergasted. He reckoned it was the fault of the equipment's' Rare 'special effect. If he didn't have the support of a powerful party, then he might end up in an awkward situation where he couldn't afford to use the equipment.
At this moment, it was already nearing the time to enter the world. Only then did Reef and Sheyan receive a belated nightmare imprint notification.
[Your current military rank is: Major.]
[You belong to the Silver Party: Party Ace.]
[Your party currently consists of: 1 Growth-Hunter, 1 contestant.]
[Your next adventuring world is: The Lord of the Rings world.]
[This world's progress will be based on party leader: no.1018's world progress. Party members' world progress and relationships will be preserved as much as possible, or substituted through conversion.]
[After calculation, your main mission difficulty is B +.]
Upon seeing the 'Lord of the Rings world', Sheyan and Reef's expressions turned rather queer. Especially Reef, who gazed at Sheyan with a rather fascinating expression. He couldn't help but blurt out.
"Luckily Zi left the party."
Sheyan ignored Reef's teasing. After a brief pause, he asked.
"Why is our main mission difficulty 'B +' only notified us so late?"
Reef asked in astonishment.
"Does the realm think we have a huge advantage in this world? That's why they notified us so late, and didn't give us any time to prepare? "
Sheyan nodded and replied.
"Very likely. Do you still remember the arrangements I made before leaving this world? I buried all the mithril and adamantine items that are useless to us, and had Melody bring them to the elders of Rivendell in the future to raise her status amongst her people. Furthermore, her divine twilight elf status.... oh, it seems like she's very successful. "
Reef's eyes instantly sparkled.
"That's great news, boss."
Sheyan smiled and nodded his head.
"That's right. If that's the case, then our journey to the Lord of the Rings world should be rather relaxing and joyous. Only ….. it seems like it's going to be hard for me to improve my curse-mix abilities. After all, based on the current situation, Saruman is still an unreachable and unchallengeable existence.
