Chapter 672: Terrifying virus infection

Three evolvable options shimmered with surreptitious radiance before Sheyan’s eyes, impressing a deep reverence with a single glance.

Sheyan was utterly flabbergasted when he saw these notifications! Not only did they require a frightening 40 achievement points, the list comprised of much information that needed to be digested and analyzed.

Obviously, of the three innate skill trees, option ‘A’ focused on support weakening, ‘B’ on heavy offense and ‘C’ as a balance between both. Nevertheless, with a towering 40 achievement points gate, even though Sheyan possessed a ‘Stairway of the Sun’ body and could reduce costs pertaining to improving viruses aspects by 50%, he still needed frightening 20 achievement points to activate. Don’t even talk further about advancing along the skill tree.

Hence, this fundamentally implied that at the initial phase of activating the first option innate skill tree, one shouldn’t think about activating another one for a long long time.

If investing achievement points could rapidly and effectively translate into battle capabilities suited to him, Sheyan definitely had to make a choice.

Apart from that, Sheyan also hadn’t forgotten about ‘Chris Redfield’s Lucky Bracelet’, which contained an advanced ability he could learn. At this phase, a shortage of achievement points would undoubtedly constrain Sheyan’s development. Yet, achievement points were that tough to obtain, and true achievement points couldn’t be traded!!

After acquiring his ultimate reward, Sheyan no longer dared to tarry further. 1,000 utility points per hour were still relatively exorbitant.

He quickly sat up and gifted Old Aram with loads of miscellaneous goods in his personal interspatial storage; like rum, sackcloths, knives etc. Proceeding from there, he directly stepped out of Port Qom’s area and selected to leave this hidden world, thus returning to the nightmare realm.

Because a hidden world didn’t issue any main missions, there wasn’t a phase for summary evaluation. Sheyan only felt his vision darken and felt a sense of weightlessness, as though he was drifting along a pitch black lake for an extremely long while.

When he reopened his eyes, he had returned to his personal room. As usual, Jinkuang was snoring loudly, seemingly deep in hibernation.

As for Brother Black and Reef, they were currently training and tempering their capabilities in the realm. When they were alerted of Sheyan’s return from the party notification, they simultaneously greeted him; of course, to inquire about his personal safety, his harvest and so on.

Approximately 10 minutes later, the trio congregated within a public party room to make an inventory of the harvest acquired from this hidden world. Due to his excessive stayover in the hidden world, Sheyan had already sold off all his ‘Golden Sand’, ‘Diamonds’, ‘Gold Ore’ and other precious treasures.

Noteworthily, Sheyan managed to find a total of 3 diamonds of various carat during his exploration, with each selling off for minimally 40,000 utility points and 80,000 utility points to the maximum. If not for these treasures tanking the blow, solely Brother Black and Reef’s medical fees would already land their economic status in red. Therefore, when Sheyan unexpected returned with nearly 20,000 utility points left, it was already considered pretty amazing.

The last matter was to confirm the harvests he acquired.

Two ‘Deathmarsh Greatcroc Souls’, four ‘Silver Beetles’ and two ‘Golden Beetles’ where he acquired some during his exploration of the ruins, one ‘Pandora’s Egg’, one ‘Lionheart’, one dark-gold grade object ‘Ndipaya Evolved Leech (special)’, two dark-green set equipment, the soul equipment ‘Gold Pearl of the Caribbean Sea’, and his secret variated rank 9 ability ‘Pestilence Monarch’.

Note: He wasn’t able to bring out his herb medicines and raw materials. Just like if Sheyan directly retrieved the sapling ‘Stairway of the Sun’ and the ‘meteorite’ fragment without the acknowledgment of the nightmare realm that he acquired ‘xxx’, most probably he wouldn’t be able to bring them out as well.

As Reef and Brother Black listened to Sheyan’s narration of his experiences, they both felt waves of heart-shattering astonishment. Never could they have expected, the ultimate conclusion and rewards could only be acquired by returning to Port Qom! As for the final clue, it was actually all along held by the aged old and obsolete Old Aram.

A series of discussions later, they felt that with Sheyan’s current urgent deficiency of achievement points, they could consider selling away the silver and golden beetles to gain roughly 10 achievement points. As such, it should be possible to unlock the first skill tree of the ‘Pestilence Monarch’ ability.

As for the ‘Gold Pearl of the Caribbean Sea’ and the ‘Pandora’s Egg’, their properties were both categorized as undecided, and it was best to sell off once they could fully evaluate them. Besides, if they sold them now, they probably wouldn’t fetch a high valuation and ease their desperate situation.

Regarding the dark-gold grade item, the ‘Ndipaya Evolved Leech’, it was absolutely not leaving them. A deadly weapon of both offense and defense definitely must stay.

Thus, these were the remaining items that could be exhibited:

‘Lionheart’, Reef’s previous silver storyline grade shield ‘Alien Skull Shield’, and the two dark-green set equipment, the ‘Massive Ndipaya August Mask’ and the ‘Ndipaya Marshcrow August Gloves’.

Frankly speaking, the two dark-green set equipment would undoubtedly fetch an extravagant valuation. Sadly, they were still lacking the final piece to assemble a full set. Moreover, this set was crucially from a hidden world, meaning assembling a full set was undeniably harder; likely surpassing the difficulty of obtaining a dark-gold grade equipment. Hence, with the current situation, it would be hard to avoid buyers attempting to haggle over the price.

Nevertheless, after experiencing a hidden world, the trio now recognized the importance of cash flow. While utility points could be obtained in massive amounts at times, the rate of squandering was equally terrorizing at times. Thus, the trio reached a forthright consensus on dealing with the two dark-green set equipment.

A transaction method that suited the general aspect of the party the most. They decided to sell one to store up reserves in utility points, while the other, they would barter it off in exchange for pieces of equipment the members currently lack.

Of course, if Reef managed to sell off his silver storyline ‘Alien Skull’ shield for a splendid pricing, they could be more greedy with their dark-green set equipment and milk the cow as much as they could. However, if they still lacked utility points by the next world, it would undoubtedly translate to them having to take a loss in this aspect.

This time, it seemed like the trio had exited their world relatively earlier. As a result, the entire marketplace only displayed a sparse crowd of contestants.

Prior to this, Reef and Mogensha had been utterly concerned over Sheyan, dreading a mental crumbling notification like – [ Your party leader has died ].

Thus, they bitterly awaited. Right now, seeing that Sheyan had safely returned and even obtained a bumper harvest, they quickly returned to the real world.

Fortunately, Sheyan merely tarried a few days longer than the other two in the nightmare world. Thus, it was merely several hours of wait for the duo, and didn’t really count as a long wait.

Author’s note: Take note of the party storage operation mode. Once the trio’s separating distance exceeded a fixed distance (based on world difficulty, normally 3-8 kilometers), the storage would be deemed as one’s private storage.

TL: I think what author is trying to say is, if there is a long distance between them, the contestants cannot use the party storage to communicate by passing things or sharing items.
