Chapter 90
Suda didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. He had just thought that the broken golem would not exceed 5 gold coins, and the other party offered this price.
From 2 gold coins to 5 gold coins, doubling the amount doesn’t happen this way!
4 gold coins can be collected, but Suda really cannot collect 5 gold coins in a short time. If he wants to collect more gold coins, he has to look for retail investors. The auction only lasts for a certain period of time, and by the time he collects them, the opportunity will be gone.
Suda is just one of the heirs of a chaebol within a civilization, not a civilization itself.
Before, each target that Ye Bai sold strategy guides to was an entire civilization. Only by gathering the power of a political entity could he raise so much game funds in a short period of time.
At this stage, Suda, who can come up with 4 gold coins, is indeed the richest man in Larn City. Of course, he is no longer the richest man after Ye Bai came.
"Five gold coins once! Five gold coins twice! Five gold coins twice!"
Seeing such a high price, no one bid anymore. The auctioneer on the stage brought down the hammer with a smile on his face. Such a high price was beyond his expectations. It was more than enough to buy a discarded golem in good condition.
Suda, who was sitting in the back row, was impatient, like an ant on a hot pot. However, every time he tried to raise his sign, he would receive a system prompt:
[Your current gold coin balance is insufficient. False bids may lead to unknown consequences. Do you want to continue bidding?]
Although the system does not specify what the unknown consequences will be, almost all StarCraft players are already aware of the All-Worlds Favorability System, and every time this prompt appears, it means that caution is required.
It's easy to imagine that once the false bid is exposed, the auction guards will definitely hunt him down, and he won't be able to get the golem without paying.
"make a deal!"
Finally, with the auctioneer's final hammer, the golem's ownership was decided.
"Well, congratulations to our distinguished guest No. 233 for winning this precious [Klin-97] Alchemical Golem!"
Suda's face turned pale, and the frustration and annoyance in his heart was difficult to describe in words. He had always been good at using money to gain an advantage, but now he felt the same way. Even though he had assets on several planets in reality, he could not afford to buy items that a noble NPC could easily buy in the Ten Thousand Worlds.
The auction continued, and Suda did not leave early until it ended. He walked unwillingly towards the direction of guest No. 233.
The light in the auction was dim, and Suda's race did not have the [Night Vision] talent, so he could not see what the NPC looked like. He had to wait until the auction was over to confirm who had bought the golem. Suda had not considered the possibility that the person who could afford 5 gold coins might be a player.
Even though there are now channels provided by various forces to exchange star coins for gold coins from all realms, they are all offline transactions. Which player would dare to double the price in an auction?
Little did he know that Suda had really wronged Ye Bai. The items at the auction were not cheap. Ye Bai knew that Suda was a player who had been given a task and was determined to get the golem. Moreover, he must have the confidence to be able to enter the auction, so he mentioned a price to express his intention to buy.
She had originally expected that the auction would continue to raise the price a few more times, but she didn't expect it to come to an end right away.
——Ye Bai had underestimated the wealth of the current players. After all, she could earn 10 gold coins by killing a BOSS, but after the transition, players who wanted to kill BOSSes above level 20 would need to form a group.
Of course, you might have spent an extra gold coin or two, but that's how auctions work. If you can't estimate your opponent's bottom line, there's no way you can avoid making a small loss.
For Ye Bai, obtaining the key item for the second-level professional mission only cost five gold coins, which was a great deal of money.
After the auction ended, Ye Bai, like other buyers, followed the auction staff to pay and pick up the goods.
Ye Bai couldn't help but curl his lips as he glanced at the two players who didn't leave immediately but looked over here stealthily.
“Guest, this is the collection you purchased.”
The auctioneer brought Ye Bai to
"Here are five gold coins."
Ye Bai paid 5 gold coins to the auctioneer, and he still had 24 gold, 18 silver, and 55 copper coins left. He would earn it back once the trade route was opened.
The moment he reached out and touched the broken golem, Ye Bai received a task prompt:
[You obtain the historical clue 'Unexpected Experimental Results', you gain 10 historical experience points, you gain 10,000 experience points]
That's it!
Ye Baimo put it into his space backpack and then walked out of the back hall.
As she walked through the corridor, her red velvet dress changed again, becoming a plain silk long dress. Compared to when she entered, her fashion sense was much lower and she was also much less noticeable.
So much so that Ye Bai walked past Suda and the other man who were waiting at the door, and they had no idea that that was one of the customers they had previously noted as a possible buyer of the golem.
There is no legendary item that is not powerful, even clothing.
After leaving the auction, Ye Bai opened the relevant certificates and records that came with the auction golem.
There is no need to go to the Golem Registry in Larn City like Suda did. The certificate records clearly state when, where, and why the golem was destroyed.
The clues to tasks in the Ten Thousand Worlds never come from just one channel.
If Suda had the money to attend the auction like Ye Bai did, buy the golem first, and then find a historian to study the golem on his behalf, he could also obtain historical clues about the "supernormal collapse".
The place where the golem's destruction occurred was called 'Lucky Goddess Alchemy Laboratory'.
There are a large number of alchemy laboratories in the city of Larne for alchemists to rent. Ye Bai set off for this alchemy laboratory according to the address above.
The task of triggering the golem must be completed in that alchemy laboratory.
If Suda could see the address, he would immediately recognize that this laboratory was the one he investigated based on the clues.
There are three quests in the series of "Reforms Caused by Traitors", which will appear in the main cities of the three major factions in each server.
To be precise, the three hidden professions are all first-level hidden professions, and they can also be accessed by other players, and even complete the job transfer of the hidden profession.
After completing the first transformation, unless you have mastered the strategy like Ye Bai, players with normal thinking will continue to strengthen their original profession. For example, a Whisperer can go to the Chaos School to find the mentor who misled Leto according to the previous task prompts when he reaches level 40, and complete the transformation there to be promoted to the stronger advanced profession "Secret Invoker".
For someone like Ye Bai, taking these three hidden professions as consecutive three-transfer professions can form a new and powerful hidden profession system.
Because completing all of it requires a great deal of coincidence and luck, once successful, it is definitely the strongest profession in the world.
If it weren't for this holographic "merger" of all realms, Ye Bai would not have chosen this profession.
Just like Suda, whom I met in Larn City today, who also triggered the quest through a normal and complex quest chain, as players gradually reach level 20, even if hidden quests are difficult to trigger, there will always be lucky people who can come across them. Ye Bai's level increased quickly, so he just had time to snatch the quest from Suda.
If there is no 'server merging' setting, when the Chaos Main City mission on the Blue Star server is taken away by someone else, Ye Bai will have no choice but to give up this route and advance normally.
However, now that the entire universe is merged, even if the Chaos Main City mission on the Blue Star server has been completed ahead of time, Ye Bai can try on other star servers. He can always find an unfinished server. It's just a matter of paying a few gold coins for the transfer fee.
After walking two blocks, Ye Bai arrived at his destination.
"Welcome to the Goddess of Luck's Alchemy Laboratory. What can I do for you?"
This is also a feature of the main alchemy city. Because alchemists spend all their money on buying materials, it is basically difficult for those who are not great alchemists to have their own private laboratories. Therefore, in the inner city of Larn, a large number of commercial alchemy laboratories rented out to the outside world have emerged, which are more than restaurants and hotels.
"I want to rent lab number 9. 9 is my lucky number."
Ye Bai said that he looked like a real alchemist.
"Oh, of course, no problem. Lab 9 happens to be vacant right now. The rental fee is three silver coins a day. It provides standard experimental materials, some of which are free, and some are not free, with a corresponding price list. If you want to rent it, you only need to pay the fee for one day first, and then you can settle the bill on a daily basis."
At this point, the cashier took out another piece of paper with the names of several insurance companies on it: "Also, which company's damage insurance do you want to purchase?"
"I recommend the latest insurance from the Cole family. It only costs 52 copper coins and can cover losses up to 30 silver coins." The cashier winked at Ye Bai and smiled, "Although there is a protective magic circle and the goddess of luck will favor you, it's an experiment and you always have to be prepared for unexpected events..."
In the city of Larne, where an experimental explosion occurs every other day, the construction industry and insurance business are equally developed in addition to the experimental rental business. The latter two have long provided these laboratories with one-stop compensation and renovation services.
"I'll buy it." Ye Bai nodded in agreement. Seeing the cashier's subtle look, she chose the most expensive insurance that cost 1 silver coin and gave the other party 4 silver coins.
Holding a 'key' that was similar to a door card, Ye Bai used it to open the door of Laboratory No. 9.
The layout of this laboratory is not much different from that of an ordinary alchemy laboratory, and obvious signs of renovation can be seen on the walls, windows and other places.
After closing the door, Ye Bai placed the broken alchemical golem in the central alchemical reactor and connected it to the maximum mixed energy.
This quest process can be found in the post-investigation file about the escaped magician. During a discussion about golems, he asked, "Will the golem's resistance be increased if mixed energy is connected to it?"
Normally, this is a point that no beginner would raise, just like asking whether it is possible to increase the power of an electric shock robot.
However, due to a slight malfunction in the reactor of this alchemy laboratory at maximum mixing energy, an accidental coincidence occurred.
This golem possesses a special power - absorbing external magic damage and releasing it again.
If the magician had not left here due to the experimental accident, he would probably have discovered the secret of the golem.
The alchemical reactor is a very expensive and sturdy instrument. Even if an experimental accident occurs, it can be reused after repair. After all, it is a key part of the mission and is probably subject to system causal interference.
As Ye Bai repeated his hype, suddenly, with a "click", the reactor automatically shut down due to energy overload, and the alchemical golem that was originally judged to be completely damaged, began to emit a layer of faint blue light on its surface.
The remaining 'eye' on the broken half of the head lit up red at this moment, shining directly on Ye Bai.
['Lawbreaker' job change trial begins]
Following a system prompt, a long health bar appeared in front of Ye Bai. The golem in front of him was not only a quest item, but also the trial BOSS for Ye Bai's level 40 job transfer.
【Disintegrate Golem】
Level: 40
HP: 40000/40000
Skill: Disintegrate Return
Weakness: Circuit abnormality
Due to the special nature of the disintegrating golem, there is very little information. After using Insight, the basic information clearly appears in front of Ye Bai.
Compared to other level 40 bosses, the Disintegrating Golem has much less health, but it is set to be in a damaged state, and its weakness [Circuit Abnormality] is not a weakness in combat, but a limitation.
The circuit anomaly caused a 'about to explode' debuff to be placed on the Disintegration Golem, with a timer of 10 minutes.
If the player has not triggered other quest chains and faces a level 20 Disintegration Golem, its damaged state will be more serious and it will automatically lose health when attacked. All the job-changing player needs to do is to survive the golem's attack for ten minutes. After it is damaged, he can obtain [Disintegration Power] and complete the job change.
Now, in order for Ye Bai to complete this job transfer task, he has to defeat the golem before the explosion in 10 minutes, otherwise it will be considered a job transfer failure.
“Chi!”
After rolling to avoid the attack from the one-eyed Disintegrating Golem, Ye Bai used the Snow Sword to chop down the Golem that could only rotate slowly.
'-1'
Such exquisite damage can only be inflicted by the Snow Sword's extremely low physical attack and the Golem's extremely high physical defense.
After triggering the special effect, Ye Bai immediately released three fireballs in succession at the golem, triggering three "burning" effects, followed by a [Fire Burst] that could trigger an explosion through the number of burning layers.
'-214', '-215', '-217', '-647'
Fire spells have the highest pure output damage among all spells. Under normal circumstances, with Ye Bai's current damage, a combo can deal at least 4,000 points of damage to other normal monsters. At this time, all of them are blocked by the golem with super high damage.
But this is just the beginning.
It didn't take long for Ye Bai's combo to cause damage to the golem. The disintegrating golem, which could only use its single eye to shoot energy waves at first, suddenly launched a fireball exactly the same as the one she had just attacked when it 'looked' at Ye Bai again.
“Boom boom boom!”
Three consecutive fireballs hit Ye Bai at an extremely fast speed, with no CD, no mana consumption, and followed by a flame explosion.
'-184', '-289'
Facing Ye Bai, who was still protected from spellcasting by physical attacks, the Disintegration Golem's attacks were unstoppable, a true 'spell machine gun'. Even though Ye Bai had been prepared and dodged the damage by rolling, he was still hurt by a fireball and a flame explosion.
That's right, the ability displayed by this "professional mentor" at this time is the core characteristic of "disintegration and return" of Ye Bai's second-level profession [Spellbreaker].
Simply put, it means to treat others in their own way.
The Spellbreaker is a class of spell tanks, with extremely high basic spell resistance, and can "return" the spell attacks it suffers, consuming only psychic energy, but because it is a return, there is no CD.
If you choose this profession as your first career, its strengths are self-evident. However, its disadvantage is that the prerequisite for return is to withstand spell attacks first, which requires sufficient health and resistance support. In addition, it is easy to be restrained by physical professions.
And if it is used as the second job of the Whisperer, there will be another earth-shaking enhancement.
Ye Bai's offensive never stopped. The Disintegration Golem had extremely high magic resistance. In addition to the rays equivalent to normal attacks, it faithfully reflected the skills Ye Bai released at it like a mirror, and there was no cooldown version.
Fortunately, the Disintegrating Golem has high magic resistance, and Ye Bai is no worse. After swimming in the River of the Dead, he not only gained a lot of health but also a lot of resistance.
Even though he couldn't move around in the alchemy laboratory environment and had to endure some damage, the damage Ye Bai received overall was not as high as that of the Disintegrating Golem.
After all, players are flexible. Ye Bai's attacks combine his proficiency in various skills. In addition to fireballs followed by pyroblasts, there are also many combos such as ice cones followed by lightning chains to trigger continuous electric damage.
But on the other hand, the Disintegration Golem would only repeat the skills that Ye Bai had used on it. As long as he could dodge one or two of the key skills, Ye Bai would suffer much less damage.
Finally, after continuous upgrades and the use of recovery potions, and a round-based war of attrition, Ye Bai completed the killing of the disintegrating golem in a dangerous 9 minutes and 32 seconds.
Ye Bai's level was raised to 40, and he used 6 bottles of life recovery potions.
This level of consumption can be said to be economical. If Ye Bai had not gained anything in the divine realm, he would have needed to consume more props, and both the advanced spell damage scroll and the advanced defense scroll were indispensable.
“Click!”
As Ye Bai took away the last drop of blood of the disintegrating golem, a crack appeared in its chest again, and brilliant light flew out and merged into Ye Bai's body.
[You completed the 'Lawbreaker' job change trial]
[You have successfully changed your job to 'Lawbreaker']
[You gain the occupational feature 'Disintegration Return']
[You gain 1 skill point]
Ye Bai felt a subtle feeling surging through his body.
Compared to the lack of reaction during the first transformation, Ye Bai had an indescribable strange feeling after the second transformation. Of course... it wasn't much, and it was nothing compared to the intense feeling when he upgraded his talent.
Ye Bai thought about this question several times, but he had no idea. Next, Ye Bai subconsciously wanted to open the newly upgraded skill panel to take a look, and then his eyes caught a glimpse of the golem remains on the ground.
Suddenly, Ye Bai's expression changed, and then he quickly opened the door of the laboratory and left quickly.
After only a few steps——
"Bang!"
There was a shock wave from behind, and a muffled sound came from Room 9, which had just been left.
The defense and alarm equipment were triggered, and both the laboratory staff and the golems patrolling outside took action skillfully.
Even though Ye Bai has completed the job transfer task, the [Circuit Abnormality] characteristic of the Disintegration Golem is still there. It is very honest and unambiguous. It will explode in 10 minutes if it says so.
Otherwise, Ye Bai wouldn't have spent money to buy the most expensive insurance before...
Because the large amount of insurance purchased before was borne by the insurance company, Ye Bai only spent 5 silver coins to deal with the compensation issue. Under the subtle and gloomy gazes of the laboratory cashier and the insurance company appraiser, Ye Bai left the Goddess of Luck Alchemy Laboratory.
After the incident was over, Ye Bai opened his second-level class panel. The previous Whisperer had been replaced by the Spellbreaker:
【Lawbreaker】(Level 2)
Occupational characteristics: Full system disintegration return, magic bloodline
Effect: Mastered all magic attributes basic damage (-60%); Mastered all magic attributes return position +1; Comprehended the professional skill [Spell Return]: Return 80% of the spell effects and damage received (additional equipment effect), the return skill has no casting time and no cooldown time.
Description: The most versatile mage, now transformed into the nemesis of all mages.
Current professional skills: None
Skill Points: 1
This is the terrifying panel of the Spellbreaker who changed his job from a Whisperer!
Compared to ordinary spell breakers who only have one return slot, after Ye Bai changed his job from a whisperer, all the spell systems he mastered in his previous job got a slot, which means that Ye Bai can store all the magic he currently masters, including fire, ice, earth, wood, lightning, light, gravity, and mind, a total of 8 return skill slots.
Even if ordinary spellbreakers can return spells, they can only record one magic skill at a time, and releasing it consumes psychic energy. The mana bar and health bar are in a tense state, and they have to take a beating before they can make a move.
It’s nothing like Ye Bai now. Her first-level magic bloodline is still there, and she can still release her previous skills even if she is not hit.
Coupled with his extremely high spell resistance and health, Ye Bai can be said to be the player who is least afraid of being besieged in the entire game.
Moreover, as long as these 7 spell slots are used well, Ye Bai can use them to "pre-store" various more powerful skills, leaving them in the critical moment to bring a little "Spell Breaker Surprise" to the enemies he encounters.
Finally, Ye Bai added the newly acquired skill points to [Professional Characteristics Enhancement], which increased the basic damage of the magic characteristic from '-60%' to '-65%', and the damage returned by the spell from 80% to 90%.
Although the damage returned by spells has been weakened, if Ye Bai's spell strength is taken into account, it is still very impressive. In this case, even if she faces the same siege as the Makul Group did back then, she is confident that she can survive it safely, and even fight back...
Ye Bai withdrew his thoughts. Now that he had completed the second transformation, everything was over. It was time to leave Larne City.
Of course, before leaving, Ye Bai went to the Merchant Guild first.
Now that he is here, as a responsible lord, Ye Bai must open up a trade route along the way.
