Qin Xiao transmigrated into a world where dimensional secret realms had merged. It was an alternate urban world where the entire populace made contracts with beasts. After turning 18, everyone woul...
Qin Xiao found it interesting because it really was interesting.
When they saw Qin Xiao stop and look at a certain item, the mother and daughter looked over in surprise.
"Huh~"
"This thing is so interesting, is it really that amazing?"
Qin Xiao stroked his chin. "The Imperial Temple wouldn't lie, would they? They must have tested it and someone has already used it."
The two women nodded and looked at Qin Xiao.
"Are you planning to redeem this?" Ye Qingya asked curiously.
Qin Xiao hesitated, "It's hard to say. Other sustainable resource types seem pretty good, and they're a stable source of income. This thing seems to be a one-time thing."
Ye Qingya and the other woman both nodded, feeling that it might not be a good deal.
The item that caused them such a dilemma is a very interesting one.
Mirror Contract: Forged from the rules of a certain secret world, the user can specify the talent level or one talent skill of the contracted party through this contract, and the contracted party will randomly obtain one of the contracted party's talent skills in reverse.
Simply put, this thing seems to be some kind of rule-based treasure.
A contractual relationship can be used to exchange certain abilities or talents between the contractor and the contracted party.
No, it shouldn't be an exchange, but a replication; it's a win-win situation.
Qin Xiao found it interesting because he thought about his own talent, which was only a pitiful blue.
Is it possible to create a more advanced version using this?
And that's not even the most important thing. What he's really interested in is whether this thing can replicate his talent skills.
You should know that all of his talents and skills were created by the system.
Twins, the flow of life, charm, and the demon realm space—these are all extraordinary.
However, Qin Xiao still felt there might be doubts about this aspect; it wasn't that he looked down on this thing.
Can a demigod-level item replicate one's own talent?
But deep down, I was also a little tempted. If it were really possible, I would sign a contract with Sister Qingya directly.
Once her talent is upgraded to orange level, Qingya will also gain a terrifying talent skill.
But if it fails, it will be troublesome.
Putting aside whether there will be any damage, just getting a talent rank is of no use whatsoever.
Whether he is talented or not is of little significance to him.
Whether it's increasing the chances of awakening new talents or accelerating cultivation speed, none of it really matters to him.
As a result, the resources available to this demigod are greatly reduced.
I'm so conflicted, so very conflicted.
Qin Xiao then looked at the other resources, including secret stone veins, spiritual roots of heaven and earth, the corpses of demigods, and weapons—there was everything imaginable.
Any one of these things can be exchanged for a large sum of money, and if done well, it can be developed into a unique and stable source of income.
For example, this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root is an energy-form 'plant', somewhat resembling a slightly translucent white plum tree.
Both flowering and fruiting require the absorption of spiritual energy. Flowers have the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit, and can provide a slight chance for enlightenment. Fruits can temporarily increase the cultivation speed of those below the demigod level.
This is a hot commodity, although I don't know how much psionic energy it requires or how high the conversion rate is when it blossoms and bears fruit.
However, it shouldn't be considered too bad, considering it's a demigod-level resource.
We don't know what his secret realm is like yet, but this thing will be nurtured in the secret realm.
It could serve as a stepping stone for him to open up external markets, or even as a unique product to establish his 'brand'.
Damn it, Qin Xiao was speechless when he thought about this.
He had initially thought this was a free benefit from the academy, but now he felt a slight sense of displeasure.
Why didn't they give out two more spots? I don't even need the spirit crystals.
Wait a minute, what an idiot! I can use spirit crystals to exchange for them later!
Spirit crystals are so useless, although I plan to let Qingya and Huanhuan each have one to try first.
However, Ye Qingya and the other two women clearly did not want it, feeling that it was not a good fit. Why not exchange it for this resource?
With this in mind, Qin Xiao understood.
Although the exchange rate is unknown, it is likely that these spirit crystals, which can help people comprehend the rules, are much more useful to some people than some demigod-level resources.
With that in mind, Qin Xiao no longer hesitated and decisively chose the mirror contract.
I won't be satisfied until I get my hands on this and give it a try.
Although it's a bit of a disadvantage that my skills might not be copied, at least I can improve my talent by several levels, so it's still barely acceptable.
Now that the idea of exchanging spirit crystals for resources has been brought up, it's much easier to accept.
To put it bluntly, he's a spendthrift; even if it's 'wasted', he can accept it.
Consider it paying the price for my own recklessness.
Seeing that he had chosen this item, Ye Qingya didn't say anything more.
Looking at Qin Xiao, she said, "Little Qin, who are you planning to form a contract with? Mu Yueming should be the best choice. Her talent is probably terrifying, and her talent skills must be quite good as well."
Qin Xiao was touched by what he heard, but a premonition told him of the hidden risks.
This is... a life-or-death question!
"Ahem, what are you saying? I don't have much of a relationship with her, and this kind of thing is far too private."
Whether she agrees or not is another matter, but I don't want to sign this kind of contract with her. Wouldn't we be completely exposed then?
Ye Qingya smiled enigmatically, "Oh~ that's a divine heir, aren't you even a little tempted? It might be a terrifying golden talent, a chance to rise to the top in one step."
Ye Qingya knew that her behavior made her look like a jealous woman and was affecting Qin Xiao's future development.
Reason told her that she should support Qin Xiao, and even actively find ways to help her man achieve his goal.
But those words just slipped out of her mouth.
Once such a contract is signed, the two souls have no secrets from each other.
It was even more intense than dual cultivation, soulmates, haha, which made her feel sour and very unhappy.
Qin Xiao quickly shook his head, "Talent is talent, but it doesn't have as much impact on me as I imagined."
He was telling the truth. Rather than trying to acquire higher talent, he was more interested in trying to see if he could mirror his skills onto someone else.
He would definitely choose Ye Qingya; how could he give her to an outsider!
Thinking of this, Qin Xiao spoke again.
"By the way, let's try this treasure later, after I get the designated awakening of the Divine Temple's talent skill."
He didn't offer much explanation; he was just doing it for insurance purposes.
If you really can't get your own skill randomly, or can't get a mirror image, at least there's a guaranteed reward.
Otherwise, it would indeed be a loss.
Once the designated skill is awakened, even if things go poorly, Ye Qingya will still be able to obtain that skill.
Although it increases the denominator of the random probability, it's still worth it.
