Chapter 60 - 59= Inventory (Asking for follow up and data!)"—1
Mu Yuan was dumbfounded.
His original plan was to let Dead Bone experience life-and-death battles and push to its limits.
Now, there had indeed been ferocious battles, but Dead Bone was far from its limit. As a Lord, he could clearly sense Dead Bone’s condition- yes, it was quite exhausted, but it was still far from its breaking point.
But why did it end so suddenly?
He was just starting to enjoy it!
“If I had known this, I wouldn’t have ordered Bone Two to make the sneak attack.”
The reason he ordered Bone Two to interfere was, naturally, to get more rewards from passing the Secret Realm. After all, it was just him and his troop against the realm’s guard.
This was following the rules.
Unexpectedly, before he could fully enjoy the thrill of the fight, the Challenge
in the Secret Realm already chickened out.
Who just said this was an infinite stage?
Oh, it seems like nobody said it, it was his conclusion from observing the girl
next door.
Mu Yuan didn’t feel annoyed, after all, he had dodged a bullet.
He began to select his prizes.
“Hint: You have won 3 Soul Crystals.”
“Hint: You have received a special treasure ‘Initial Perfect Breakthrough
Stone’.”
“Hint: You have obtained ‘Experience Stone- Thunderbolt Warrior (Rare)’.”
This was the reward for the fifth challenge.
“Hint: You have obtained 5 Soul Crystals.”
“Hint: You have obtained 3 ‘Initial Perfect Breakthrough Stones’.”
“Hint: You have obtained the Miracle Blueprint for the ‘Thunder Magnetic Coil
Tower (Rare)’”
“Hint: You have obtained the ‘Flower of Self-healing (Rare) – a cultivation sequence treasure.”
“Hint: You have received the special treasure ‘Elixir of Life.
As he finished selecting his rewards, the rules of the Secret Realm began to
wind down.
The fallen Skeletons returned one by one.
The cracked ground healed in an instant, pristine as before.
The scattered remains of the guardian, broken armor, and shattered weapons
all transformed into light and disappeared.
The only thing left was a certain Slime, still holding a broken spear shaft in its arms, emitting a grumbling roar.
The next moment, Mu Yuan was teleported out.
Once the realm was cleared, he lost the opportunity to challenge it again.
Glancing at a still-dazed Jiang Luoxing and another female player with a hood
over her face, Mu Yuan had no intention of striking up a conversation.
He’d already completed his ruse, why would he stick around?
Of course, it was time to return home, manage his resources, and put this batch of goods to good use.
Seizing the opportunity while they were still stunned, Mu Yuan turned and walked away, leaving the two in the distance with an impression of his handsome, lofty, mysterious, and invincible silhouette.
“Wait, boss, I haven’t added you yet!”
Watching Mu Yuan disappear into the Time-Space Vortex, Jiang Luoxing, eager to cling onto him, suddenly came to his senses and let out a mournful cry like a prairie dog.
The waiting area was silent.
It was as if nothing had happened, but the two who had witnessed the invincible Slime and the glitch-like Skeleton General took a while to calm down.
Liu Miumiu looked at Jiang Luoxing.
“Do you know him?”
“Sure, I am an old acquaintance of Brother Mu!
“Could you tell me more about him, like what his ID number is?”
Jiang Luoxing patted his chest in agreement, but as he spoke, his voice trailed off.
It seemed, he might, probably, perhaps knew nothing about Lord Mu. His origin, his background, he knew nothing.
All he knew was that this big shot liked to pretend to be a novice.
He didn’t even have a clear picture of what Brother Mu looked like- Brother Mu wore full body armor, helmet, visor, even goggles throughout the event, fully armored to the teeth!
Consequently, apart from the name ‘Mu Yu’, he had no other information.
So what had he been talking about before?
Jiang Luoxing was confused.
He could only wait to go back and ask if the others had heard the name “Mu
You”.
At this moment, Liu Miumiu had already left, and Jiang Luoxing was still dazed
in the Secret Realm.
Suddenly,
Buzz—
The Door of Time and Space in the distance started to rotate. Jiang Luoxing was startled, then showed a look of joy, “Has Brother Mu returned?”
But a moment later he was profoundly disappointed, it wasn’t Brother Mu.
It was his big rival, the annoying guy with the ID Yu She.
“Yo, you’ve finally come in. I’ll let you see how awesome I am.”
Player Yu She brushed his fringe aside and spoke.
But his rival Luo Xing seemed indifferent.
“Boring, not interesting. There’s nothing worth watching about this challenge.” And he left directly.
Yu She:”???”
After leaving the Secret Realm, Luo Xing’s consciousness returned to reality.
He opened the forum, looked at the players who were still passionately discussing the strongest newcomer, and sneered.
“Humph, you don’t understand what strength really is!”
He typed furiously on the keyboard, wanting to vent his anger on these ignorant players.
But in the end, he felt that his description could not reach even a fraction of God Mu’s. These extremely ignorant players only believed in their biases. At this thought, he lost interest and deleted the few hundred words he had typed.
“Whatever, when the Lord Trial begins, you’ll see who is the real invincible one.”
Baijiang City, Baihe Villa District.
Mu Yuan sat in front of his computer and stretched, “Finally done, I sure did work myself hard.”
At this moment, with his game character back in safe territory, he could finally rest.
Mu Yuan had to admit, there were inconveniences with controlling the game from a computer, but for new players, the benefits probably outweighed the disadvantages.
Consciousness Descend, facing terrifying enemies directly, ordinary people may even find it hard to breathe.
If they entered the game with their real bodies, it would be even worse. Players might be crushed by daily difficulties like food and accommodation before even facing any monsters.
After all, who could bear to eat wild fruits and half-cooked game, and live in a drafty wooden house?
Mu Yuan opened a can of chilled beverage, downed a few gulps, and then started to admire his gains from this trip.
“Hmm, I’ve got quite a few Soul Crystal Coins from this trip. After purchasing Remnant Souls for Little Skeleton and others, I’ll buy another batch of Black Ironstones and get the Mage Tower and Blacksmith’s Shop constructed.” “I’ll recruit the 46 Wandering Souls first to accumulate Evolution Points as soon as possible.”
After busy with these, Mu Yuan then started to check other items.
Four Perfect Breakthrough Stones, an Experience Stone, a Miracle Blueprint, and two treasures.
■Perfect Breakthrough Stone (Initial): Can increase the chance of troops breaking through major ranks and allow troops to gain additional basic ability improvements in the breakthrough process. This Perfect Breakthrough Stone can only be used for the first and second rank breakthroughs.’
The former was optional to Mu Yuan since it was not difficult for his troops to breakthrough.
But the latter…
“A chance to gain more improvements during major rank breakthroughs? I’ve never heard of it!”
After all, he was just a Greenhand.
For the Second Generation Lord, Perfect Breakthrough Stone might be common knowledge, but to him, it was a blind spot.
What he didn’t know was that such special treasure was rare even for the Second Generation Lords. They don’t usually insist on having it. In contrast, the real Great Lords might search everywhere or buy Perfect Breakthrough Stones to cultivate their generals.
“This Breakthrough Stone is quite suitable for me.”
Duo Lai and Dead Bone could soon reach the ninth rank Great Perfection. If there was a chance to make them stronger, Mu Yuan was all for it.
The other treasures, the Experience Stone was similar to the Heritage Stone, except that it only inherited combat arts and experience, without any skills, so the improvement from the Experience Stone is much less than the Heritage Stone. But the advantage is that the Experience Stone does not solidify the profession, and there are no side effects after use.
As long as players can bear the mental burden, they can use as many Experience Stones as they like.
“I can use this Experience Stone myself. Although it’s not the Grodo class experience I want the most, the combat arts of the Thunderbolt Warrior…are better than nothing.”
“However, the biggest gain from this Secret Realm Challenge is not the Breakthrough Stone, not the rare Miracle Blueprint, but this special treasure called the ‘Elixir of Life’.”
It’s indeed the most valuable treasure in the whole Challenge Secret Realm, bar none!
