Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Fuck!

As he cursed silently, Zi Liyuan helplessly realized that there was no solution to this matter.

Professionals had all sorts of strange and wonderful talents, so some special detection abilities weren't out of the ordinary, but the ability to sense the aura of items inside someone else's space was just freakish.

If anyone knew that each professional's attribute panel and space item awareness were manifestations of the Sea of Realms' powers, and that Number Two could actually peer through these rules to detect certain information, that was outrageous!

And with Blue Star's total population in the billions, who knows how many people possessed this peculiar skill?

Therefore, the fact that he had the Lord's Heart could easily get out, and when that happened, endless troubles were bound to arise!

Such a headache, the trouble caused by the Evil Organization hadn't been completely resolved, and now there was an even bigger pit waiting ahead.

"Since you know I have the Lord's Heart, you should also understand that activating my second talent is just a matter of time for me," he said.

Ask for the moon and you'll be repaid on the spot.

Number Two didn't go after the members of the four royal families or the children of the Ancient Noble Families. Instead, she came to him, and the intricacies of this shouldn't be underestimated.

With an attitude that not taking advantage of an opportunity made one a fool, Zi Liyuan naturally aimed to gain sufficient benefits.

Just the early activation of a bloodline talent, how could that satisfy him?

Number Two certainly understood what he meant, but she didn't have many bargaining chips in her hand, and helping him activate his bloodline talent was already the biggest one she had.

After hesitating for a while, Number Two tested the waters once more and said,

"Besides helping you activate your bloodline talent, I can also agree to one request within my capabilities. How about that?"

"Not interested, and your identity is too sensitive. Being in contact too much is bound to be a huge hassle," he replied.

Zi Liyuan kept a calm face at that moment, but his mind was racing, thinking about what valuable things he could extract from her.

Number Two was undercover in the Heretical Sect, and apparently she held a rather high position. She must have some good things in her possession that might enhance his current strength.

Ever since he saw the Spider Queen start to evolve, he had felt that Li Fengwen and the other three guys weren't very reliable. So now, he was eager to increase his own strength.

The system notification about the activation of the bloodline talent would surely take his strength to another level, but he still didn't think it was enough.

"Bloodline talent activation, one request within my capabilities, four boxes of demonic blood elixirs, one Fourth Order all-attribute enhancement scroll of 100%. These are all the bargaining chips I have," she said.

Number Two had no choice; she wanted to raise the quality of her talent as soon as possible to ensure her self-protection in the current version of reality and to be of paramount importance to her future power enhancement.

But she didn't want to sell herself to the royal family or the noble families. Her talent bloodline emblem was too special. If she joined those powerful forces, she would definitely be used as a blood bag.

Since Zi Liyuan didn't belong to any force and was just a common professional, obtaining the Lord's Heart from him meant there was no need to worry about certain unknown dangers.

Moreover, in this current version of reality, he was probably the only examinee carrying the Lord's Heart.

Therefore, Number Two laid all her cards on the table, making a desperate bet.

After stating all the resources at her disposal, Number Two considerately shared the data on the demonic blood elixirs.

[Demonic Blood Elixir (Silver): Swallow one to gain 1,000,000 experience points, effective for Third Order professionals and below.]

"Deal!"

Without any hesitation, as soon as Zi Liyuan saw the data on the demonic blood elixir, he immediately agreed to the trade.

Now that he was LV43, if he could level up two more times and reach LV45, all his skills could be enhanced again. His strength could surge by at least fifty percent!

Four boxes of Demon Blood Pills, six pills per box—that's a grand total of 24 million experience points.

Plus, with the remaining 3.8 million from previous level-ups, 27.8 million experience points would be enough to get him to LV45, and he'd still have enough to upgrade his skills.

There was no other way, as the Hell Demon Puppet's level was shared with his, which meant the experience needed for him to level up was double that of a normal profession!

LV43→LV44 would normally require 5 million experience points, while LV44→LV45 would need 6 million, so in total, leveling up two levels would require 11 million. Adding the Hell Demon Puppet's share, a whole 22 million would be used up.

Thinking about the experience required for future upgrades, Zi Liyuan's face turned somewhat dark—it was like a bottomless pit!

Opening the trading panel, Zi Liyuan didn't hesitate to take out the Lord's Heart and put it up for trade. He felt like it was burning a hole in his pocket and wanted to get rid of it sooner rather than later.

Number Two didn't beat about the bush. In fact, he let out a quiet sigh of relief, laid out the items one by one, and after confirming everything was correct, he pressed the trade button.

Zi Liyuan didn't even pay attention to the system's successful trade notification sound but immediately took out the Demon Blood Pills and poured them into his mouth. Only after hearing the system's notification sound again did a smile finally appear on the corner of his mouth.

After shooting up two levels, and then upgrading his main skills, he turned his attention back to Number Two.

"Do you have any more of this good stuff, Demon Blood Pills? I can trade you other items for them," he asked.

The Great Xia Empire's officials had no potions or items that could directly add experience points—this stuff definitely came from a Heretical Sect.

"No more. This stuff is produced in extremely low quantities, and consuming too much can have side effects..."

Number Two hesitated for a while before speaking, especially after seeing how Zi Liyuan had just devoured the pills and seemed to want more. He tried to say something several times but swallowed his words in the end.

The main thing was seeing how happily he ate them; it was better not to tell him how these things were made.

"What side effects?"

Zi Liyuan checked his attribute panel but didn't see any negative BUFFs, so he asked.

"If you eat too many, you can become possessed by demons. But, you would need to consume at least a hundred to experience side effects," he was told.

"Oh, then it's fine," Zi Liyuan said nonchalantly.

Looking at the Fourth Order universal attribute enhancement scroll, Zi Liyuan's plan became even more solidified in his mind.

Just as Number Two was about to deactivate the Silence Realm, Zi Liyuan stopped her.

"I have another trade proposition. I wonder if you'd like to hear it," he said with a smile on his face, reminiscent of a creepy old man luring a little girl with candy.

"Let's hear it," Number Two responded.

She had just obtained the Lord's Heart and was in a very good mood. She had finally collected all the materials she needed for her first talent promotion and was about to be able to upgrade her quality, so she was willing to listen to what Zi Liyuan had in mind for a trade.

Moreover, she might need to find more suckers like him in the future.

"How about another Lord's Heart in exchange for you to follow me?" Zi Liyuan suggested.

As soon as Zi Liyuan finished speaking, two pairs of beautiful eyes shot him death glares, sending a chill throughout his body and making him feel like he had a target on his back.

Shen Yurou was grinding her teeth as she looked at this POS, her eyes sharp as knives, filled with the fury of wanting to tear him to pieces.

Number Two was also staring daggers at him, as if she had just realized that he too was a POS, with a hidden anger brewing in her eyes.
