Chapter 298: Bloodline Item |
[Single-player Mode (Realistic) has ended.]
[You have obtained the skill: Nameless Sword Art.]
[Your skill "Cotton Palm" has been upgraded to Lv.5.]
After the playing of that scene ended, Bai Mu returned to his community room.
Since items from realistic mode couldn't be brought out, the settlement of this mode was very simple. Without even looking, Bai Mu knew what improvements he had gained.
From the final settlement scene, Bai Mu learned that the Southern Hero ultimately survived.
Although the time spent with the Hero was less than 30 days, to Bai Mu, he was still a character who was both a teacher and a friend. Compared to the party that destroyed the Demon King, Bai Mu certainly hoped more that the Southern Hero could get a good ending.
Judging from the results, the Southern Hero should have returned to his hometown after the war ended and retired in such a quiet and peaceful place.
That kind of life would probably be very nice—living in the house where he grew up, occasionally drinking tea and enjoying the breeze in the courtyard, and perhaps brewing some tea when a few friends came to visit.
In other words, the time he could lie down and rest was, at the very most, only this much. After his Community Time ran out, he would be thrown into some unknown dangerous script by Paradise again.
If he wanted to live a retirement life, he still had to work hard. If one day he obtained a super item like the "Aladdin's Lamp" that could grant any wish in an S-grade script, he could probably wish to return to the real world and live a peaceful life.
After lamenting slightly, Bai Mu went to clean up his mailbox.
The Talismans and Alchemical Pills previously listed for sale in the market were all sold out. Deducting the costs, his net profit earned him a total of 4121 Points, which was still quite considerable.
The Job Change Item for the Constable profession was also sold, bringing in another 2600 Points. In addition, he claimed the regular Point reward from the "Paid Column", obtaining 460 Points.
As soon as he returned, his account gained 7181 Points. Adding the remaining Points from before, he instantly broke through the 10,000 Points mark.
So holding this huge sum of money, he once again came to the Trading Market, intending to consume a bit.
Currently, for him, the biggest improvement would undoubtedly be a bloodline.
In terms of skills, professions, and equipment, he was in the first echelon among players of the same level. Only this bloodline column was still blank.
Bloodline items were items as rare as job change items. From the time he entered the Paradise until now, he had only seen three bloodlines himself, namely "Special Infected", "Blood of God", and "Corpse Hatchling Pill". For the first item, his pockets were very tight at the time, so he only took a look. The Blood of God was used on Xiao Wei, and the Corpse Hatchling Pill was used on Witch.
His summons all had bloodline enhancements, yet he himself was still a blank slate.
Now that he was well-off, he could finally try to choose a suitable bloodline for himself.
However, the bloodline items in the player market all had serious price premiums. Deducting Xiao Wei's three thousand Points, his remaining seven thousand Points were still quite far from being able to buy the highest-grade bloodlines. Moreover, high-grade bloodlines all had various usage conditions.
For example, he found a "Tooth of the Progenitor". This thing could let a person acquire the "Vampire Progenitor" bloodline, greatly increasing base attributes and granting abilities like "Undying Body", "Regeneration", "Blood Embrace", "Embracement", etc. However, its usage requirement was that the player's level must reach A-grade or above, and both Spirit and Strength attributes needed to be above 50 points. In addition to this, it also required sacrificing 1000 fresh souls.
The selling price of this thing wasn't as high as imagined; it could be taken down with only ten thousand Points. Bai Mu could even buy it right now, but after buying it, he completely wouldn't be able to use it.
In the final analysis, it was only because its usage conditions were very harsh that the selling price was this low. If the usage condition was "None", this thing wouldn't be at this price; it might flip three or four times, or even more than four or five times.
In short, when selecting bloodline items, besides the effects, one must also pay attention to their usage conditions.
Actually, the two bloodline items Bai Mu obtained previously belonged to very high-quality types. After all, neither had usage conditions. Take the Blood of God for example; he estimated that if he listed it for ten thousand Points like that "Tooth of the Progenitor", it could also be sold, and it would sell faster than that thing.
As for the Corpse Hatchling Pill, because the side effects of the White Zombie bloodline weren't small, the price would be much cheaper, but he estimated it could also be quickly sold for around 2000 or 3000 Points.
Even so, with Bai Mu's available balance of 7000 Points, it was still more than enough to pick an excellent, usable bloodline for himself.
After browsing for a while, he finally filtered out two options.
One bloodline was called "Beta Mutant Serum", and the other was called "Weakened Hashirama Cells".
The prices of the two were relatively close, one at 6500 Points and the other at 7000 Points. Moreover, the usage conditions were both within Bai Mu's satisfied range.
The effect of the former was to let him randomly gain a Beta-level superpower. It was introduced in the item's description that the so-called Beta level belonged to the mid-level in the Mutant power system. The Mutant power system was divided into five levels in total: Epsilon, Delta, Beta, Alpha, and Omega.
According to the introduction, the ceiling of the highest-level Omega almost reached the degree of natural disasters, able to set off tsunamis and alter large-scale magnetic fields, enough to destroy the world.
Meanwhile, the lowest-level Epsilon might not necessarily possess any special abilities, and even if they did, they were extremely weak, completely useless whether in combat or daily life. Some even only played a completely negative role.
Beta was the middle tier. Although not strong enough to be abnormal, it would definitely be useful; one might gain super regeneration abilities, or eyes that could shoot scorching lasers, and the like.
The effect of the latter was more stable, not that random. After use, it could enhance the physical body's self-healing ability, strengthen Mana and various base attributes, and most importantly, one could acquire an ability called "Wood Release". Looking at the effect, it allowed manipulating plants to some extent and rapidly growing trees from the ground.
However, Wood Release was a bloodline ability that required consuming Mana and using practice and experience to upgrade. In the initial stage when just obtained, its effect would be relatively weak.
With Bai Mu's current attributes and Points, these two items were the most suitable.
If he intended to take a gamble, the Mutant was definitely the better choice. Among Beta Mutants, there were even superpowers that copied others' superpowers. If he randomly got that, then it really would be 'strong against the strong'. The lowest floor could also guarantee an "Animal-type" enhancement, gaining effects like a bearman or werewolf.
But after comprehensive consideration, Bai Mu felt that the Weakened Hashirama Cells were still better.
If asked why, it was because he had a series script related to plants on hand. In Dave's levels, there were so many Garden Plants, and he also had several mushroom-type items, which could produce some synergies with Wood Release.
Moreover, the buff of the Blood of God was also related to the environment. According to the introduction of Wood Release, when this thing was leveled up to the max, it could create forests out of thin air. That is to say, it could greatly enhance the Blood of God. For his current various combinations, it was very suitable.
