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!”
