The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 285

Chapter 285

Upon Sheyan's application, the realm once again accepted the undertaking without hesitation .

Yet for every good news, there were bad news . The bad news was that the appraisal fees had been raised from 1,500 utility points to 4,000 . Fortunately, he had enough to spare . This time's appraisal indicated a waiting duration; when Sheyan went up to check, he realized he had to wait for at least 2 and half hours to 7 days . Feeling tremendously disappointed in the realm's work efficiency, he resentfully accepted reality .

Because when Reef returned, they would probably face a long and arduous battle . That was why Sheyan was currently afraid of expending every second in training himself, only scouting around the marketplace for any cheap pickups . Sadly, most people had the same thing as him; thus in this mutually undermining environment, getting a cheap bargain was wishful thinking .

At this moment, he suddenly felt a tugging at his shirt . Lowering his head, he got a huge fright . A star wars robot greeted him, its head radiating green glows .

"Beloved master, I've finally found you . "

Sheyan instantly rolled his eyes, he had been fooled by the appearance; but when the slut Jinkuang projected his voice, all veils were uncovered . His distinct duck voice exposed him easily . How many others did that slut offended in this marketplace to be forced to use a star wars robot, and where the hell did he even get it?

"Cash cow, a fatty cash cow!" Seeing there was nobody around, Jinkuang pooled closer, the robot radiating with delight .

"Someone needs that arachnid shell urgently . You must give me a percentage, commission!"

Hearing that, Sheyan's heart flushed with delight . Even though a zergling carapace was a commonly seen material, that dark blue ones were still rarely seen . If not for him possessing his unyielding Innate ability, and without that natural slaughter tool his 'Prometheus III Flamethrower''; he may not even have found a dark blue zerling carapace in the Starship Troopers world . But that wasn't important, the important word was 'urgently' .

Very rapidly, Sheyan was now standing in front of the interested buyer . He had a massive build, and was rather pleased with Sheyan's goods . It seemed like he had abundance on hand, and thus they very quickly completed the trade . Sheyan's potential points was now 6 points and his utility points 8,300 points . He now had the means to upgrade his Rank 6 'Black Art mix technique (Damaged)' .

The two skill branches of the fourth tier were both relatively important, but to fully activate them, it required 4 achievement points . Currently, Sheyan possessed 56 achievement points; if he were to invest everything required by the tier 4 skill branch, then he would be left with 52 achievement points . This goes to say that Sheyan could no longer approach with the method of abandoning the main mission to evade risks, or if he had other plans in mind . If not, the achievement level could easily be penalized to below 50, and he would lose his status as a 2nd Lieutenant .

Yet Sheyan considered one fact; that was for the establishing party mission, it most likely would be the only possible route available . There shouldn't be an outrageous scenario for them to disband the party and engage in the mission again . It would be a mission that would affect them in the long run, one that inevitably required an all-out effort! Hence, he gritted his teeth and decided to gamble . He then activated both branches of tier 4 of the skill tree, 'Uruk-Hai gene mix: Blended mix / Curse mix' . Once he saw their descriptions, he released a deep breath . The 4 achievement points were not in vain!

Uruk-Hai gene Mix: 'Blended mix lvl 1' - You acquired a new inspiration in concoction, allowing you to now compound and blend two of the gene mixes together, allowing their effects to overlap .

Details: Previously, once your body possesses the buff effects, unable to receive other gene mix effects .

(For example, after blending bear's strength and fox's intellect, the resultant effect would be strength & Intelligence + 3 . Previously, if one used the bear's flesh mix and then use the fox's intellect mix, the initial +3 strength would be replaced by the +3 intelligence . )

Uruk-Hai gene mix: 'Curse mix lvl 1' - You acquired a new inspiration in concocting . You can now make advanced refinements to a completed gene mix, allowing the gene mix to become a pollution bomb . By throwing out the gene mix, the landing area will explode with a huge area of poison contamination effect . Any enemies within the radius will be contaminated, and the effects will last even if the enemy escapes from the contamination zone . Effect duration lasts for 15 minutes . (For example, a bear's flesh gene mix would result in a pollution bomb of 3 strength) .

Details: Your current level is unable to work with a blended mix .

Details: The pollution effect may be negated by certain abilities .

Details: Pollution bomb similar requires the same relevant materials .

Observing the list of information, Sheyan nodded in satisfaction . The only bad news was that for now, this rank 6 'Black Art mix Technique' would be unable to receive anymore upgrades . That was because the price in doing so was exceedingly great . For the tier 3 skills to advance to lvl 3, it required the tier 2 (Bear/Eagle/Fox) skills to raise to lvl 3 first! For them to even reach from lvl 1 to lvl 2, he approximately used close to 20 potential points already! As for the tier 4 skills, needless to say, it required the 2 skills of the tier 3 branch to reach lvl 3 . Don't even mention potential points, it even required achievement points from there onwards .

While brooding over this, Reef finally returned to the realm . After a hurriedly settling his issues, he then arranged a meeting point with Sheyan . Reef was still that same taciturn and dispirited like, as if uninterested in anything . Upon meeting, he straightforwardly traded with Sheyan . It was indeed that equipment forged out from the black grade troll's leather with heaps of dark blue grade zergling carapace .

This equipment appeared rather crude, having the slight flavour of a Spartan armour . Simple, crude, durable and tough . It was pretty bold and powerful . It was mainly that troll's leather, with the zergling carapace sheltering the vital organs like the heart, with dried tendons from wild beasts used to weave the materials together . It was like wearing a shell over the body, Sheyan swiftly examined its attributes .

************

Frankly speaking, this black grade equipment had pretty shameful attributes . Firstly, it only had once beneficial attribute, while it had two negative attributes . It's saving grace was that passive ability, it was pretty unique and could release a burst shot effect in a split second . Moreover, the two attribute +2 bonus to strength and agility was pretty handy . Of course Sheyan would rather have a physique +4 one, but one shouldn't wish for too much .

But what gave him a pleasant surprise was when he wore on the 'Barbarous Crust Armour' . It shockingly transmitted a notification .

"The Troll's Soul (Horcrux) within the +5 silver storyline accessory resonates with the black grade equipment 'Barbarous Crust Armour' . "

"+5 silver storyline accessory's passive ability 'Pain Accumulation' is upgraded, no longer requires damage to trigger effect . "

"Black grade equipment 'Barbarous Crust Armour' received an upgrade . Chances of triggering the passive ability 'Zergling Rush' is now 30% . "

"Once you unequip and break the resonance, upgraded effect will disappear . "

It seemed like the resonance was because of the troll's horcrux, moreover the core of both equipments originated from the mountain troll . Unwilling to delay the matter any longer, Sheyan had been anticipating the establishment mission for pretty long . They were now prepared physically and mentally, once again ascended up to the peak of the nightmare realm . Everything followed accordingly to the standard procedures .

After Sheyan entered the party name 'Ace'; even though he already knew of the notification, he still couldn't keep his excitement as he breathed deeply .

"Confirm establishment of party?"

"Yes!"
