Chapter 101 Selection (Second Update)
Chapter 101
"There's a ghost."
Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly and keenly caught a hint of strangeness.
The unique words on the golden scales didn't surprise him.
After all, judging from what he had gained from the first level of the maze, the structure of the entire maze was closely related to that day.
However, what alerted him was the voice that had spoken in the wizard language.
"The language of the wizarding world... who left that sentence?"
Thoughts one after another popped up in Lynn's mind.
He knew that the strongest person he knew so far was the Master of the Furnace.
But could this sentence be left by the Lord of the Furnace?
He couldn't be sure and remained alert all the time.
As the saying goes, the more you know, the more you tend to feel awe and uneasiness.
Lin En was in this state. Because he had deciphered those strange texts and knew more of the truth behind the maze, he was cautious at every step and did not dare to be careless at all.
"However, no matter how cautious I am, I have entered the maze twice and passed the tests several times. This time I should get my rewards..."
Lynn took a deep breath and looked at the scale.
He had already confirmed the reward, which was not in danger, and if that was the case, there was no reason to give up what was his.
The golden scale is divided into two ends, one end is the price he must pay, and the other end is the treasure he can gain.
Lin En's eyes were deep, and he recalled the strange words on his chest in his mind.
On one side of the scale, his life was clearly marked!
"In that case, I will put myself on the scale."
Lin En licked his lips, connected his mental power to the scale, and conveyed his thoughts in that unique language: "I hope you can come up with something that is ten times the gain!"
The next moment, the balance of the scale was broken and a change occurred.
Lynn's figure appears on one end of the scale, symbolizing the value he provides.
According to the rules, the other side of the scale must give a tenfold equivalent return.
Soon, something appeared on the other end.
The first thing that catches your eye is Xiaolu's figure.
Lin En was not surprised by this, as he had already guessed it.
He vaguely understood that the reason why he was locked in the maze was probably directly related to Xiaolu.
However, next, balls of light emitting strange light appeared on the scales, floating nearby, giving off an ominous aura.
"What is this? You're not just trying to fool me with some junk, are you?"
Lin En frowned slightly, his eyes fell on those light balls, and doubts suddenly arose in his heart.
He probed his mental power into them and began to study the nature of these light balls.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes with a complicated look, and murmured in a low voice: "It's so domineering... this balance!"
Through his previous discoveries, he has roughly deduced the rule of the scale: to directly receive the reward of the fourth level, the price is to pay back ten times.
However, what is even more chilling is that even if you receive nothing, you cannot avoid calculating the cost!
Those floating balls of light were projections of all his actions in the maze.
Breathing, moving, and even maintaining a state of "not being hungry, not dying" are all counted as the cost of the scale, and it is still ten times the repayment! In other words, as long as you step into this maze, even if you do nothing and don't claim any treasures, you will be forcibly "harvested" by the scale! At this time, the other side of the scale has listed Xiaolu and Lin En's past behaviors as part of the cost.
But even so, the value of these things is not enough to restore the balance.
The end represented by Lin En was obviously much heavier than the other end, and the balance was tilted badly! "Let me see what else you can come up with..."
Lynn licked her lips, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
"After this transaction, I should no longer have anything to do with this scale, or even this maze."
Just as he was expecting more items to appear on the other end, a message suddenly came into his mind.
This time, the information was not conveyed in wizard language, but that strange written language.
Since Lynn was not proficient in this new language, he had to listen repeatedly and spent a lot of time to understand its meaning.
"Let me pick out what I want until the scales are balanced again!"
The moment he understood this sentence, Lin En was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Just choose whatever you want? This is great news, much more flexible than the Libra directly distributing rewards! Of course, Lin En quickly calmed down. He knew that this choice was conditional - he could only choose from the treasure house, rather than letting the Libra create something incredible out of thin air.
He stood there in thought and began to sort out his needs.
His most urgent goal is undoubtedly to break through and become a formal wizard, so as to completely get rid of the limitations of the seed of life!
To achieve this goal, he has been struggling in the furnace maze until now, and all his actions revolve around getting closer to this point.
So far, Lin En has gathered the three key resources needed to break through to become a formal wizard: Advanced Meditation Method: A mental method that helps break through the upper limit of human mental power.
Formal Witchcraft Template: The foundation upon which a wizard's core powers are built.
Auxiliary potion: buffers the risks during breakthrough and is used to assist breakthrough.
However, everything is ready except for one condition - mental strength!
Lin En's current mental power is only 28 points, which is still 12 points away from breaking through the human upper limit of 40 points under the bonus of advanced meditation!
The lack of these hard indicators meant that even if he had all the resources, he could not complete the transformation into a formal wizard.
So, after organizing his thoughts, what Lin En wanted most was an item that could enhance his mental strength!
He communicated his needs to the scales and waited quietly for the treasure house's response.
After a moment, the entire treasure house changed. Various items suitable for improving spiritual power began to emerge and were arranged in an orderly manner according to grade and category.
"Fifth-level items: Reno Agate Crystal, Pelops Fruit..."
"Level 4 items: Invitation to the Soul Forging Tower, Water of Belphegor..."
The dazzling array of items in front of him made Lin En a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Those high-level items were undoubtedly very attractive, and Lin En's heart couldn't help but get excited, but soon he realized the problem - although these things were good, they were not suitable for him at all now.
The efficacy of the high-level items was too overbearing. For a weakling like him who had not yet broken through to the level of a formal wizard, it was not a "medicine" but a "poison"! Even if the scales allowed for balance, he could not withstand the terrifying power at all.
“Those fifth-level items…” Lin En took a look at them silently and sighed in his heart, “They should correspond to the fifth-level wizards in the wizarding world, right?”
He shook his head, shifting his gaze away from the high-level column, and quickly scrolled down until he saw the area for secondary items.
The items in this column are obviously more suitable for him during his apprenticeship stage.
