Zhang Mu himself did not know what kind of reward he would get for his successful promotion. Even in the future, no one had successfully completed this task. Even a senior Epoch agent merchant had spent several years to slowly grind his way up.
Therefore, Zhang Mu was also looking forward to it.
"Complete verification of inventory in the Epoch Store and distribution of promotion rewards."
Exciting moments!
"Basic mission rewards: 2,000 fourth-order crystals, 20 units of mental power recovery potion, and one epoch tattoo opportunity."
"Epoch Tattoo: Professionally produced by the Epoch Store, tailor-made, and provides a range of options based on the Epoch Merchant's completion of the hidden promotion tasks."
It turns out that the basic reward for the hidden promotion mission is the sum of twenty epoch missions. It seems that I won't have to worry about recovering my Yuan Crystals and mental strength this time.
However, he had never heard of this Epoch Tattoo. He cast a puzzled look at No. 37, but No. 37 did not communicate with him at all at this time. He just thought that the Epoch Store was handling official business.
“Drip…drip…drip…”
A beam of light enveloped him, and Zhang Mu felt as if he was being scanned from head to toe.
"Based on the physical condition of No. 001, two era tattoos have been tailored for you. Please choose."
At this moment, two lifelike tattoo patterns appeared in front of Zhang Mu's eyes. They were made of the energy projected by the surrounding stars. They were so real that Zhang Mu was dazzled.
On the far left was a tall stupa with extremely clear patterns carved on it, depicting the faces of many Arhats and Vajra. However, when Zhang Mu blinked his eyes, the kind-looking Arhats carved on the stupa immediately turned into a group of hideous-looking Yakshas and Rakshasas, which made him feel a chill down his spine.
On the right, there is a river with no end in sight, shrouded in a layer of fog, and it is impossible to see what is on the river.
At this moment, the voice of the mechanical list sounded at the right time, explaining to Zhang Mu.
"Buddha-Demon Pagoda: One thought can make you a Buddha, another thought can make you a demon. This pagoda is a mixture of Buddha and demon. I don't know if it is the Buddha suppressing the demon, or the demon swallowing the Buddha. People with this tattoo are very easily affected by negative emotions. Only when the Buddha and the demon are balanced can they not lose themselves. Becoming a Buddha or a demon is not a problem.
You again.
Effect: Only when the Buddha nature and the devil nature are balanced, can one choose one of his awakening abilities and raise it to a higher level.
"Crossing the Forgotten River: A river leading to the underworld, where soul guides ferry people across the river.
Effect: Sacrificing one third of one's soul, the tattoo bears the mark of the netherworld. The tattooed person can call upon a soul guide once to take away the soul of an evolved creature that is not higher than one level of his own and use it for his own use. Only one person can be controlled at a time. "
Zhang Mu felt a sudden rush of heat in his heart after hearing the explanation of these two terrifying tattoos, but he quickly calmed himself down.
The function of the Buddha Demon Pagoda is to elevate one's awakening ability to the early fourth stage, but the price to pay is that the user needs to be absolutely calm, always keep his original heart, and not be disturbed by the tattoo.
As for Du Wangchuan, he is even more domineering. He can forcibly subdue an evolver who is one level higher than himself, that is, the early fourth level. Although he can only control one person at a time, the highest level among evolved creatures now is only the early fourth level.
However, it also has a hidden limitation, which is that it can only be used twice. Once used for the third time, his entire soul will be engraved with the mark of the underworld, and then the one who is taken away by the soul messenger ferrying on the river will be him.
Zhang Mu is now in a dilemma. Based on his situation, the Epoch Store has really given him two options that are very suitable for him now, but this also makes it difficult for Zhang Mu to choose.
Which one should I choose?
It's really torturous to choose between two era tattoos.
Zhang Mu recalled every detail that the mechanical list had just told him, and he suddenly found a word that he had just overlooked.
Including this era tattoo, all of them are the basic rewards for this promotion mission.
That means there will be at least one extra reward.
"No. 001, have you chosen a tattoo pattern?"
Hearing the urging of the mechanical list, Zhang Mu frowned, but still spoke out his thoughts.
"You said this was a basic reward?"
"Yes."
Zhang Mu said slowly, "That is to say, there are extra rewards, right?"
The voice of the mechanical list hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Yes, the additional reward will be added to the basic reward.
We will inform you after the rewards are distributed.”
"Tell me in advance."
Zhang Mu's words were rejected by the mechanical list, "Sorry, number 001, this is not in compliance with the rules."
At this moment, No. 37, who had been standing silently, suddenly said, "Tell him."
Zhang Mu looked at No. 37 gratefully, and the latter nodded calmly.
With the permission of No. 37, the mechanical list quickly informed Zhang Mu of the additional reward for this promotion mission.
“Extra reward: A fifth-level evolution potion, which has a fifty percent chance of enabling an early fourth-level evolutionary creature to advance to the fourth-level peak. If it fails, it will also increase the user’s foundation.
Fixed user: No. 001 myself. "
When Zhang Mu saw the last restriction of this tempting extra reward, he heaved a sigh of relief and gradually calmed down. He looked at the mechanical list in front of him and said, "I give up the extra reward. I want both tattoos."
Zhang Mu had his own reasons for making this decision.
It is indeed difficult to advance from the early stage of the fourth level to the peak of the fourth level. If he had developed normally, he would definitely be in urgent need of this thing now.
But now this thing is completely useless to him.
For him, who is in the early stage of the third stage, even if he has some great opportunities in the Era Battlefield, it is simply a pipe dream for him to make up for these few years and catch up with that group of people.
Especially when Zhang Mu saw that it restricted the user to only himself, he completely gave up the idea of using it. It even lost its final function of helping other human evolutionists advance.
The value of this unit of advanced potion is indeed far greater than the Epoch Tattoo, but Zhang Mu still decisively gave it up.
The right one is the best.
Mechanical List seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then decisively agreed to Zhang Mu's request. Zhang Mu guessed that it was No. 37 who secretly ordered it.
"No. 001, I agree to your request. Are you sure? The value of the extra reward is greater than the basic reward. Please decide carefully."
Zhang Mu took one last look at the bottle of advanced potion, then took off his shirt, naked, and spoke in a calm but firm tone.
"I'll give up the extra reward and choose two tattoos instead. The Buddha and the Demon are in the front, and the Crossing the Forgotten River is in the back."
"bring it on!"
