Chapter 413 Open the remaining two treasure chests
The discovery of the first diamond treasure chest put Lin Tian in a very good mood.
Although the amount of gold coins was ordinary, skill books and upgrade stones were hard currencies that met his current needs and could be used immediately.
This undoubtedly confirmed the value of the diamond chest, and also made him genuinely look forward to the remaining two chests.
"As expected of a diamond treasure chest, at least everything I got is usable."
He muttered to himself, then temporarily stored the [Random Skill Book for This Profession] and [Grade A Skill Upgrade Stone] in his storage space, without rushing to use them.
Good things should be saved for the most opportune time.
His gaze shifted to the second diamond treasure chest on the table.
Without hesitation, Lin Tian reached out and opened the second treasure chest with the same action.
【Ding! 】
You have opened the 'Diamond Chest'.
[Received: 1000 Gold Coins.]
[Obtained: S-Rank Talent Enhancement Stone x1.]
[Obtained: Skill Fusion Scroll x2.]
"[S-Rank Talent Enhancement Stone]? [Skill Fusion Scroll]?"
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow slightly.
He was seeing the names of these two things for the first time.
The former, in particular, directly involves "talent," an attribute that is considered fundamental to players in "Battle of the Realms" and is almost impossible to change.
He first looked at the so-called [S-grade talent enhancement stone].
It is not a regular shape, but rather a small piece of naturally formed, deep purple crystal containing a magnificent mist of light like a galaxy vortex. Just by gazing at it, one can feel a kind of throbbing that touches the very essence of the soul.
Beside it were two rolls made of unknown silver metal foil, with intricate patterns imprinted on their surfaces.
Concentrate your mind, and detailed information will appear:
[S-Rank Talent Enhancement Stone]
Rank: S
Description: A miraculous item containing a fragment of "primordial rules," extremely rare. Upon use, it will attempt to guide the user's innate talent to sublimate. There is a very low probability that the talent will be directly elevated to S-rank. If the user's original talent rank is lower than A-rank, it will definitely be elevated by one rank (up to A-rank). If the original talent rank is A-rank, there is a small probability of it being elevated to S-rank. Using it on S-rank and higher talents will be ineffective or may trigger unknown changes.
After reading the description, a hint of understanding flashed in Lin Tian's eyes, which then turned into indifference.
"An item to upgrade talent rank... it really exists."
He muttered to himself.
In the common understanding of "Battle for Supremacy in the Myriad Realms", talent is determined from the day one is born and is extremely difficult to change.
However, the appearance of this [S-grade talent enhancement stone] indicates that the system has not completely blocked this path, but has simply set it as a "miracle" with an extremely low probability and demanding conditions.
One can imagine the fierce and bloody struggle that would ensue among players if this stone were to fall into the wrong hands.
Especially for top players who don't have high talent rank but have lofty ambitions, or who possess special A-level talents and yearn to go even further, this is almost their only hope to break through their innate limitations!
It's no exaggeration to say that they'd go to any lengths, even at the cost of their entire fortune.
"but......"
Lin Tian shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Useless to me."
His talent—"Infinity"—has already surpassed the scope that the current system can identify, and may even have touched the root of some kind of rule.
This stone, which is like a divine object to others, is probably not even "ineffective" to him; he would even find it too bulky to put in his storage space.
Of course, it may be used as a special bargaining chip or research material in the future.
Setting the [S-grade Talent Enhancement Stone] aside for the time being, Lin Tian looked at the two [Skill Fusion Scrolls].
Information expanded:
[Skill Fusion Scroll]
Rank: A
Description: A scroll containing ancient alchemical and rune fusion techniques. Upon use, it allows you to attempt to fuse three B-rank skills you already possess, or three B-rank skill books, to create a completely new A-rank skill (or skill book). The success rate of fusion is closely related to the attribute correlation and system compatibility of the selected skills; the higher the correlation, the higher the success rate. A failed fusion will not cause the skills used as materials to disappear or the skill books to be destroyed, but the scroll will be consumed. The effect of the new skill generated by the fusion is random, but it will always fall within the A-rank category and may have some kind of inheritance or enhancement relationship with the original skill.
"A fusion skill?"
As Lin Tian read the description, a glimmer of interest, like a child seeing a novel toy, first appeared in his calm eyes.
He possesses a wide variety of skills of different ranks.
Besides the core S-rank skills, there are also many B-rank and A-rank skills that were acquired early on but were later replaced by higher-rank skills or used less frequently.
These skills may not seem outstanding on their own, but if they can be combined to create new and more powerful A-level skills, it would undoubtedly be an excellent way to reuse resources.
More importantly, the description mentions that "the effects of the new skills generated by the fusion are random."
This randomness, combined with his vast skill set and unconventional attributes, might spark unexpected brilliance.
Moreover, the "failure does not result in the loss of raw materials" setting greatly reduces the cost of trial and error.
"It can be used for playing around."
Lin Tian gently stroked the surface of the cool metal spool with his fingers, his mind quickly racing through several skill combinations that he might try to fuse.
For him, who pursues ultimate efficiency and power, this is not just a means of enhancement, but more like a "game" with the fun of exploration and creation.
Although the [S-Rank Talent Enhancement Stone] from the second treasure chest wasn't of much personal value to him, the appearance of the [Skill Fusion Scroll] provided a new and interesting way to become stronger, which made him quite satisfied.
Now, only one diamond chest remains.
Lin Tian turned his gaze to the last box on the stone table.
It stood quietly on the table.
The results of the first two boxes have already set extremely high expectations. What will this final, grand finale bring?
Without any hesitation, Lin Tian reached out and cleanly lifted the lid of the third and final diamond treasure chest.
The scene inside the box is revealed.
【Ding! 】
You have opened the 'Diamond Chest'.
[Received: 1000 Gold Coins.]
[Received: Source of Life ×1.]
[Obtained: Phantom Eye x1.]
Three items.
As always, a minimum of 1,000 gold coins.
The other two items, even just from their names, reveal their extraordinary nature.
The Source of Life appears as a drop of liquid perfectly sealed within a crystal-clear sphere.
The [Phantom Eye] is a strange crystal about the size of a thumbnail and as thin as a cicada's wing.
It presents a variety of iridescent colors, refracting different lights at different angles, sometimes as deep as the starry sky, sometimes as hazy as mist.
Inside the crystal, a miniature, lifelike phantom eye seems to be sealed, quietly "watching" the outside world.
