[Note: Science has already revealed to us that consciousness determines reality. Now, with the patience we normally reserve for children, we view those self-deluding people who refuse to face this fact, stubbornly toying with 'solid matter'—Eleventh Level Spiritual Warlock, Soralis, a fervent spiritualist]
[Price: 15000 Game Currency points]
A price of fifteen thousand?
Li Ang squinted his eyes; the game marketplace refreshes daily, and each player's list is different,
according to screenshots on the forum, the most expensive item some players have refreshed is something similar to a dueling disk from "Yu-gi-oh",
called the [Duel City Foldable Portable Dueling Disc], which comes with three and a half semi-complete decks.
Users can insert decks into the dueling disk and shuffle them randomly, able to draw a card after a certain period,
accumulating energy by drawing land cards (a concept from Magic: The Gathering, equivalent to energy points),
summoning monsters and engaging in battle.
During this period, one could also use magic cards, trap cards, and various card combination effects to achieve incredible outcomes.
Purchasing a piece of equipment is equivalent to possessing an extremely powerful and potentially limitless power system,
though the equipment requirements are just too stringent—the user's innate intelligence, perception, and charisma must simultaneously exceed or equal 7 points, with acquired scores not counting.
This means, the user must have a genius-level brain, predator-like acute perception, and a face striking enough to astonish the world even before becoming a player,
to qualify for this equipment.
The difficulty is imaginable.
And this equipment's marketplace price reached a terrifying thirty-five thousand points.
When that player uploaded the item screenshot to the forum, it immediately sparked widespread discussion; some thought it was not cost-effective, the price overly inflated;
others felt it was practically a boon for genius newcomers, able to possess combat power comparable to second-tier players with a single piece of equipment;
but soon, that poster edited the post to deletion, and their account was also deactivated—most people speculated that a large organization had contacted the poster, willing to pay a significant fee to commission them to purchase this [Duel City Foldable Portable Dueling Disc] from the marketplace.
This is not uncommon in player forums; the black market section continuously sees players uploading lists of items they refreshed today, checking if anyone wishes to pay a commission to have them purchase equipment and such.
"[Portable Dueling Disc] is a power system ready for immediate use, and it also comes with three and a half semi-complete decks. Together it only costs 35,000 Game Coins.
Whereas this [Psychic Ability Crystal Guidebook · Beginner] alone sells for 15,000 Game Currency points,
and the prerequisite usage condition is sacrificing three perfect-level supernatural items!
Calculating at one perfect-level item for 10,000 Game Coins,
the cost of the psychic ability guidebook even reaches a staggering 45,000 Game Currency...."
Li Ang quickly thought, the appearance of the [Psychic Ability Crystal Guidebook · Beginner] in the item list is that of a crystal material book, with two lines of Otherworldly script written on its cover,
and a finely crafted metal chain securing the crystal book tightly.
"Moreover, 45,000 Game Currency is merely the prerequisite usage condition.
From the description, the psychic guidebook crystal is like the [Alchemist's Travel Diary], it is a data book documenting cultivation methods,
just reading it is useless; an immense amount of time and effort must be spent on learning to truly grasp the power system.
If one cannot learn it, there is no place for refunds..."
Li Ang exhaled a slow breath of turbid air, murmuring: "But, it is indeed tempting.
There is not much left in the Alchemist's Travel Diary to explore, enhancing Alchemy sense mainly lies in my repeated daily exercises and explorations.
While this beginner-level psychic guidebook directly documents psychic abilities from level 1 to 4, if learned fully, it is equivalent to suddenly gaining dozens of skills, and they do not occupy skill slots..."
The probability of refreshing cultivation methods in the deathmatch game marketplace is extremely low,
each cultivation method is a top-level secret of major forces—such as the "Nen" learned by Bai Haozheng, the "Sword Gang" circulated within Sword King Court, and the "Magic Circuit" system of the Bell Tower.
Li Ang's Ripple Breathing Method obtained long ago can also be counted as a power system (just without tips on usage techniques, entirely relying on Li Ang's exploration),
unfortunately at that time his own strength was too weak to negotiate with major forces; otherwise, the Ripple Breathing Method could have been sold for a high price.
As for Spiritual Energy.
Just as the item description states, it is the art of tapping into the mind's potential.
Spiritual Warlocks can employ mental power to achieve a variety of incredible effects.
For instance, moving heavy objects, creating flames out of thin air, communicating across space, torturing an enemy's soul, and even astral projection, foreseeing the future, twisting present reality and rewinding time...
The potential is in no way inferior to Alchemy, Swamp God Power, or the Origin of Life.
The most crucial aspect is that Spiritual Energy can offset Li Ang's deficiency in attack methods, 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
and also provides an outlet for the bug nest.
Spiritual Energy derives from the mind, and the mind originates from biological energy, which must be rooted in a living organism's physical body, affected by the health of the entity's body, spirit, and mind,
Intelligence, perception, and charisma are significant components of mind energy, while strength, agility, and constitution also influence the composition of mind energy.
All sentient living beings possess Spiritual Energy,
Ordinary beings without Spiritual Energy training will never unlock their mind's potential,
whereas Spiritual Warlocks can use this power embedded deep in their consciousness to bend and alter reality.
Every brain worm in the bug nest is a highly developed, quick-thinking, deeply conscious advanced creature,
they, too, can become Spiritual Warlocks...
