Chapter 61: Lot(1/2)
9 o'clock in the evening, in the lakeside dormitory, Su Xiao's residence.
The lights in the room are bright, and a variety of delicacies are placed on the dining table. Although the richness is not as rich as at the luncheon, it still makes people appetite.
Penny, Greenway, and Lady Luck were enjoying a delicious supper. To be precise, Penny invited her friend Lady Luck to have a supper, and Greenway was the one enjoying the meal.
In the past, Lady Luck was not familiar with Su Xiao, who was disguised as the Holy Flame Pharmacist, so even if she knew that Beni was in the next room, she was too embarrassed to come. But today, she is more familiar with her, and with Beni's invitation, she naturally came.
Su Xiao didn't enjoy the delicious meal. He was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with an ancient book on pharmacy and a cup of tea. It seemed like it was most of the night.
Any skill that is beyond the reach of others must be mastered at a corresponding price, either resource cost or time cost. For example, Su Xiao's potion science cannot rely solely on the inheritance of the alchemy secret book.
You have to put in enough effort.
In the past, when there was no title bonus, Su Xiao could read an ancient book and a cup of tea for a whole day, let alone the title blessing now. Yes, the promotion of the six-star title [Ancient Scholar] has been completed.
Advance to:
[ancient scholar]
Place of Origin: Samsara Paradise
Quality:★★★★★★★
Tip: After this title is upgraded to the ultimate quality, you can make a characteristic choice. This choice will be related to the final attribute direction of this title.
Category: Rare·Title
Title Effect 1: After a scholar (passive) wears this title, his reading efficiency will be +82.5%, his reading immersion will be +32.7%, and his knowledge imprint interpretation efficiency will be +10%, which greatly improves his knowledge mastering efficiency.
Title Effect 2: Inspiration (Passive), when mastering knowledge and ingesting it, your mental strength will be permanently increased (the more profound or mysterious the ingested knowledge is, the permanent increase brought by this bonus will be
the more obvious).
Introduction: Please do not explore too weird knowledge, although they are so fascinating. Of course, if your reason is beyond others, you may... try it with caution and awe, to explore the mysterious charm.
Knowledge, taste the mysterious sweetness.
Selling price: Unable to sell.
…
[Ancient Scholar] After being promoted to the seven-star title, the gain intensity has changed qualitatively. The first is the "Scholar" passive. After triggering this passive, Su Xiao felt that when he mastered the knowledge of pharmacy, his efficiency increased by more than ten times.
Yes, it's such an exaggeration.
As for the second passive "Inspiration", this is simply tailor-made for the interpretation of the Alchemy Secret Code. With the depth and mystery of the Alchemy Codex, Su Xiao can use the title of [Ancient Scholar] to improve his spirit every time he interprets it.
Force intensity.
What's even more wonderful is that Su Xiao's efficiency in deciphering the alchemy secret book is determined by the strength of his mental power. The higher the strength of his mental power, the more knowledge imprints he can decipher at a time.
The more knowledge imprints are interpreted in a single time, the "Inspiration" passive effect of [Ancient Scholar] will bring about a greater permanent increase in mental strength. In this way, a snowball effect will be formed, and the interpretation of the alchemy secret book will be greater.
Getting faster and faster, thus making the knowledge level of Pharmacy and Explosives higher and higher.
In addition to the gains in this area, Su Xiao also discovered that the title [Ancient Scholar] has another different characteristic.
The initial star rating of the [Ancient Scholar] title is six stars, and its level can be upgraded up to three times through conventional burning. In other words, the limit of the [Ancient Scholar] title is a nine-star title.
After upgrading [Ancient Scholar] to the nine-star title, you can make a characteristic selection. From the current attributes of the [Ancient Scholar] title and the content given in the introduction, there should be two final selection routes for this title.
1. Knowledge intake limit gain.
2. Gain in knowledge acquisition from the mystery system.
Of the two branch routes, Su Xiao naturally prefers the first. No matter how you look at it, the second option reveals the style of the ancient gods and the aura of the evil sect. The introduction of the title with crazy sanity points has already hinted at this.
"How do you understand these ancient books? I can recognize all the ancient characters in them, but they are too obscure when combined."
Lady Luck, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, spoke up and picked up an ancient book on the tea table to read. The more she read, the more confused she became.
"Meow."
Beini jumped on Su Xiao's lap, looking aggrieved. It meant that after finishing the supper just now, the goddess of luck asked her to play beast chess. In this regard, Beini was very confident. In the past, she had played with Bubu Wang, Eminem, and Ba.
Playing chess, Penny won nine out of ten games, but she lost miserably today.
"Mr. Shengyan, how many games of beast chess should we play?"
The goddess of luck placed the chessboard on the tea table. Seeing this, Su Xiao did not put down the ancient book in her hand.
"I'm not good at board games."
"It's boring to have nothing to do. It's only around nine o'clock in the evening."
"..."
Lidya Su said nothing.
"Mr. Sheng Yan, do you think you don't have any chips to win or lose? How about we get 10 soul coins per game?"
"Forget it."
"Oh~? Mr. Shengyan, are you afraid of losing to me?"
The goddess of luck smiled as she spoke. After hearing this, Su Xiao squeezed the book with one hand and closed it.
Two hours later, Lady Luck bit the nail of her thumb and stared at the chessboard. With the look of "this is impossible" on her face, she almost wrote that she lost more than 300 souls in a game of Beast Chess with 10 soul coins.
Coins, no wonder she is so doubtful about life.
"Damn it, I'm only one step away from winning."
Lady Luck angrily packed up the chess pieces, then breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's a pity that I can't play chess with Anna and the others recently. Why did I offend that guy?"
After saying this, the goddess of luck sighed, with a look of despair.
"Who did you offend?"
Su Xiao spoke like a casual chat.
"I..." Goddess of Luck hesitated for a moment, then said in a discouraged tone: "Actually, I offended an exterminator. You should have heard of him. It is said that he is the only exterminator left."
"Oh? What grudges do you have with that destroyer?"
Hearing this, the goddess of luck on the other side was immediately discouraged. She smiled a little awkwardly and said: "Fundamentally speaking, it's actually my fault. When I discovered that exterminator, he was still a new exterminator. Why should I offend him at that time?"
He, am I crazy, and why did he become stronger so quickly?"
Speaking of this, Lady Luck went a little crazy, and she continued to confide: "It's too late to apologize now. I can feel that the exterminator is not planning to kill me, but he is targeting me for other reasons.
, it’s over, I was targeted by a growing exterminator.
"So, you don't have any mortal grudge?"
"Of course not. With how vengeful those exterminators are, if they have a mortal grudge, the exterminators will most likely do nothing, just look for me all day long, and then kill me."
At the end of her sentence, Lady Luck let out a long and feeble sigh.
"I recognize that destruction method. He is one of my old clients. Maybe I can mediate between them."
"Really!"
The goddess of luck opposite suddenly became excited.
"certainly."
"If you can help me get through this, I will be very grateful."
There is a bit of joy in Lady Luck's eyes, and I don't know what she will look like when she discovers the truth.
After Lady Luck left and went back to the next room, Su Xiao looked at the time and it was almost eleven o'clock.
Tomorrow is the second day of the Arcane Celebration, but there is no movement at all from the assassins who have been booked at the Ashen Bunker. This makes Su Xiao wonder whether the assassins sent there were killed by the Arcane before they even got close to her.
The casters of the Eternal Star were dealt with.
If this is really the case, although it has no impact on the overall plan, after this incident is over, Su Xiaodong will go to the Death Ash Bunker again. After collecting money and failing to accomplish anything, he must give an explanation.
Su Xiao returned to the bedroom to rest. The next morning came quickly. He used the teleportation device to go to the island in the middle of the lake alone and began to check whether the various instruments and solar solution in the underground laboratory were stable.
Su Xiao's move was naturally passed on to Sefilia by the caster who monitored the island in the middle of the lake. Sefilia did not give any attitude towards this. Su Xiao, as the layout and user of this underground laboratory,
, come regularly to check the equipment here, and naturally you won’t be able to find any problems.
As the sky darkened, the Arcane Eternal Star, which had been bustling for another day, returned to a bit of silence. At the same time, there was a knock on Su Xiao's door.
After opening the door, Su Xiao saw the three disguised Caesars outside the door.
"The auction starts on time at eight o'clock. It's almost seven o'clock now. Let's get in earlier."
Violent Rat is very interested in this auction, or in other words, this guy is very interested in getting 600,000 soul coins for free.
The group of people took the rail train and arrived at "Li Guang Manor", it was almost half past seven.
The entire Liguang Manor, said to be a manor, is actually a group of buildings, divided into four major areas. Su Xiao walked to the second half of Liguang Manor, entered a magnificent building, and passed through a long long road.
Corridor, as the servant opened the thick dark red curtain, Su Xiao arrived at the auction venue.
The entire venue can accommodate about a hundred people. Although it is very large, the seats are not arranged neatly. This seemingly messy furnishing makes people feel at ease. It is said to be an auction venue, but it is not a traditional staircase.
The seating here is more like a banquet hall.
As for VIP rooms or VIP seats, Su Xiao didn't see it. As soon as he arrived at the venue, a waiter came up to him and gave him a number plate, representing the table he was at. This was obviously a first-come, first-served basis.
.
Not everyone is likely to come to this auction. The threshold has been set high enough, that is, more than a hundred people will participate. Adding more restrictions on top of this will inevitably make people feel disgusted.
Su Xiao sat down not too far away from the stage, next to him were Caesar, Toad, and Rat.
Beini first climbed onto Su Xiao's shoulder, then jumped onto its exclusive special seat, which was on Su Xiao's head, and began to look around.
"Meow."
Beni called out, meaning to ask Su Xiao to look to the right. Su Xiao looked in the direction indicated by Beni, and several old friends came into view.
The first thing Su Xiao saw was a flowing dress, and he was also looking at the Saint on his side.
Almost at the moment when their eyes met, Saint Virgin looked away calmly, as if she had not seen Su Xiao. The reason for this was because she still owed Su Xiao 250 soul crystal cores, and she felt guilty.
To be continued...
