CHAPTER 472: CHAPTER 165: DARK RACE TREASURY, DEATH POINT ALLOCATION
Primordial Altar.
In front of Qi Sheng floated two communication screens.
On the first screen was a Superdimension, dressed in light green clothes, with clear but lifeless eyes.
The other screen showed Jiuyin in an elderly and frail state.
After hearing Qi Sheng’s idea of Attribute Return, Superdimension nodded at this moment:
"The idea of Attribute Return is entirely feasible. This process can be understood as replacing body parts. Each time attributes are returned, part of the player’s physical body in reality is removed and replaced by a part of the player’s body."
"Until 100% return, the player’s real-world body completely disappears, leaving only the player’s body. Thereafter, consciousness transfers will allow players to travel between the two worlds, leaving only a projected shell in reality."
"The difference is that reality prohibits Life Soul areas, and players cannot use Life Soul Characteristics in reality. However, attribute abilities inherited can be used freely depending on the sacrificial power consumption. This perfectly solves the problem of players having insufficient lifespans."
After hearing Superdimension’s analysis, Qi Sheng looked towards Jiuyin.
Jiuyin also nodded at this moment:
"But one must consider the problem: the issue of lifespan can indeed be resolved through Attribute Return, but the possibility of death still exists."
"For example, if a player dies accidentally in reality, this kind of death is unrelated to lifespan. Have you thought about how to solve this?"
Faced with Jiuyin’s inquiry, Qi Sheng nodded:
"My thought with Guidance is to open an independent hunting area, which can also be understood as a hidden area, that only players who die abnormally in reality can visit."
"Players who die accidentally can team up in this area, no different from normal players, but temporarily won’t be connected to the area where normal players reside."
"If they must connect, it has to wait until the Black Tide thoroughly invades Earth, at which point players can acquire Life Soul Characteristics and also see their deceased relatives."
After detailed discussions with Superdimension and Jiuyin about handling deceased players, Qi Sheng had many new ideas.
But the specific plan has to wait until the Cultivation System is completed before it can be considered.
Closing the screens connecting to Superdimension and Jiuyin, Qi Sheng’s consciousness shifted to the Colorful Mist Coast Region.
...
Colorful Mist Coast.
Resurrected from a dormant state, An Shui looked around warily and suddenly felt that something was terribly wrong.
The recovery plan was not progressing according to his envisioned steps.
After Life Reconstruction, due to the lack of substantial Qi Blood Energy, his body regressed to an infant form, completely unable to contend with the group of guys surrounding him.
But what puzzled An Shui was.
The group of strangers, how could they know his identity, clearly aware that he was a member of the Dark Race.
They even mentioned that he possessed the secret to unlocking the Dark Race Treasury.
How could anyone other than himself and his deceased clansmen know this secret?
"Hey, hey, I’m asking you, where is your secret treasury? Quickly take the brothers to have a look inside." The player speaking brought his face closer to An Shui’s, pressing against its forehead, glared down into his eyes, and asked with a ferocious expression.
Enduring the humiliation brought by being flicked, An Shui knew he was already at a dead end.
Life and death were entirely in the hands of this group of guys. If he didn’t cooperate, the plan to destroy the world might fall apart before it even began.
Now the most important thing was to stay alive and then figure out how to escape.
And the secret on his body was obviously the reason why these guys hadn’t killed him yet.
Thinking quickly, after a brief contemplation, An Shui looked at the player in front and said:
"You must promise me, if you don’t kill me, I will take you to the Dark Race’s treasury."
"No problem, our Player Clan always keeps our word."
Hearing this, An Shui felt disdainful in his heart.
Promises between clans are meaningless and have no binding power; a change of mind is just a thought away.
Only one’s own strength is a bargaining chip in negotiations.
He asked for a promise merely to steady this group of guys, then figure out a way to break the impasse.
With thoughts churning quickly, he came up with a strategy.
The independent space treasury of the Dark Race contained abundant Dark Race Energy. Entering the treasury would do him no harm; at that time, he could utilize the Dark Race Energy in the space to perform a talent ability imprinted in his consciousness to turn the tide and achieve a counterattack.
With this in mind, he immediately said:
"I’ll take you to the treasury now."
With that said, An Shui pulled out a dark red necklace from his chest.
The nearby players gathered around, activating their Analysis Ability:
[Dark Race Reincarnation Space]:
Item Quality: 355
Item Description: One of 800 independent spaces crafted during the Dark Race Legion’s era, each belonging to different Dark Race Legions. Scattered across different Dark Race Commanders during cross-world wars, it serves as a place for the Dark Race Warriors’ life reincarnation reconstruction and resource storage.
...
Seeing the necklace in An Shui’s hand, players’ eyes lit up.
This thing turned out to be an item of 355 quality, higher than the one that Tongzi had.
Though they didn’t understand what "life reincarnation reconstruction" in the analysis meant, the key point was the part about it being a place for storing resources.
The regional voice channel suddenly exploded:
"Whoa, I want this necklace; how do we split it?"
"How about offering it to Emperor Zhao and splitting it evenly, with the Divine King as the notary?"
"I’m a college student; let me use it first."
"Don’t mess around, alright? The treasury hasn’t even been opened yet; it’s not time to divide the spoils. Keep calm and see what this guy plans to do next; strip him clean before thinking about the necklace."
