Chapter 469: 261 Talent Upgrade, Tour Begins
[Your Talent[Extraction]has been upgraded to Level 10!]
…
Talent: Extraction
Level: Level 10（0/5000 Trillion）（Demigod Talent Stone 0/10）
Mana cost: 1 Billion
Effect: Can extract attributes of monsters that have been dead for no more than 36,000 days.
…
Dean McKenzie glanced at his attributes after his talent upgrade.
The extraction time limit for death had increased from 360 days to 36,000 days!
It’s a hundred times increase!
If the increase continues at this rate, then the attribute allocation should also increase by a hundred times.
Which means, for a Demigod level template, the attributes Dean McKenzie can assign have increased from 1.44 billion to 144 billion!
At God Level, it will directly increase from 14.4 billion to 14.4 trillion, i.e., 1.4 trillion!
The figures assigned are gradually getting out of hand.
Dean McKenzie followed his usual routine to calculate how many attribute points he could now have, and gave up within less than three minutes.
“It’s a bit terrifying. If I keep growing at this rate, I feel like I’m going to run out of numeric units. I’ve already used one hundred million, what’s next?”
As a math dunce who learned his math from a physical education teacher, Dean made a strenuous effort to think and even retraced his memories from before the crossing, then realized: “Uh, I guess the PE teacher never taught that, never mind, this isn’t something I need to worry about now.
The system will sort it out when it’s time.”
While speaking, Dean took another look at his talent properties, and the upgrade requirement[Demigod Talent Stone]made him somewhat disappointed.
“I thought I could advance two levels in a row, but it seems that’s not possible.
However, even if I didn’t manage to level up this time, I should be able to in the next attempt.
I’ll just go take another walk down the streets, perhaps I could find a Demigod Talent Stone!”
Indeed, for several days following, Dean spent everyday strolling leisurely in the Charming Demon City in the hopes of stumbling upon a Demigod Talent Stone.
Unfortunately, Dean never managed to get his hands on a Demigod Talent Stone.
It’s not that he didn’t find one.
He did find one, but the price was just too unreasonable. Moreover, Dean wasn’t the only one interested in it.
His rich girlfriend wasn’t around either.
So, all Dean could do was watch helplessly as the Demigod Talent Stone that caught his eye was bought by someone else.
At first, Dean didn’t care too much when the other party purchased the Demigod Talent Stone.
After all, that object didn’t belong to Dean, and although he needed it badly, it was the basic rule of civilized buying – the highest bidder wins.
If they have the money, they get to take it away.
But what Dean didn’t expect was that the other party, after purchasing the talent stone, actually came to him and stared down at him from a superior position.
“Human?”
Only then did Dean realize that this guy appeared to be a human.
No, more accurately, a strange looking human.
He looked human on the outside, but inside was a demon. It was as if he was a demon cloaked in human skin, and what’s more, he emanated a powerful aura of death.
Being stared at by such a being, Dean couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
“What do you want?”
“You have an aura of death, are you a Necromancer?”
“Yes!”
“You are not allowed to leave the house on the day of the parade, or else I’ll kill you!”
Dean was instantly enraged by these words.
He was a peace-loving individual who didn’t appreciate being threatened, how could he tolerate this?
Dean was about to blow up, but the other person stepped up first, tossing a bag at Dean: “This is your reward!
Choose between money or violence!”
Dean was stunned, he looked inside the bag, it was filled with God’s Gold Coins, lots of it, at least twenty to thirty thousand God’s Gold Coins.
In an instant, the figure before him suddenly seemed more adorable.
“You’re testing me with this?
You should know that on the day of the parade, we can see the Charming Demon Princess, and there’s even a chance to be chosen by her. You have to add more, give me that Demigod Talent Stone too!”
It’s not everyday that Dean came across such a golden opportunity, so of course, he wanted to make more money.
However, this lush target didn’t seem as lush as Dean had thought. Upon hearing Dean demand for more money, the figure’s eyes turned colder: “No one can bargain with the Slothful Demons. What I’ve given you is the highest reward you can get. Say another word and I’ll kill you!”
When Dean saw that the figure was getting angry, and looked at the God’s Gold Coins in his hand.
He gave up the idea of slapping him dead on the spot.
After all, he had given him money!
Dean felt his moral standards were pretty high. It would be immoral to take his money and then kill him, and he might get kicked out too.
In Dean’s opinion, the biggest act of immorality he could accept was to take money and not do the work he promised.
And so, after watching the figure leave, Dean joyfully took the money and started window shopping again, planning to buy a Demigod Talent Stone.
He didn’t manage to buy any in the end.
Clearly, such Demigod Talent Stones were quite rare and hard to come by. If the opportunity is missed, it would be very difficult to get one.
“It seems I can only hope for a kind soul to deliver one to me later!”
In the end, Dean reluctantly gave up on purchasing the Demigod Talent Stone, but he didn’t keep the money either. He spent it all.
He bought a [World Tree Sapling] and a [Small World Core]!
After half a day of bargaining on these two items, he managed to bring the price down from 22,000 God’s Gold Coins to 20,000. He used all the money in the bag to purchase these two items.
With these two items, Dean could now upgrade his Land of Bone.
However, since his Small World was also sealed in the Charming Demon City, he couldn’t activate it for now. He’d have to wait until everything was settled here.
