Chapter 339 - 345: Advancing Inheritances
Summoning consumes 5000 Spiritual Qi, shared by everyone.
When the space slowly parted like a water surface.
A short and thin figure appeared, draped in a wide black robe, wearing a black hat, black gloves, and a face mask hiding everything except a pair of deep eyes, with no inch exposed from head to toe.
He held a rope, pulling out a strange-looking creature from the distorted space behind, "Esteemed guests, welcome back. I am number 90024."
Jiang Nan politely greeted, "Hello, Mysterious Merchant!"
According to the order, Hang Yu went first, followed by Zhao Ming, Xu Tianhua, and others.
Everyone was prepared days ago, gathering Crystal Stones and calculating needs, then handing them over to let the leader captain make unified purchases, saving much time.
After all.
The Mysterious Shop only opens for two hours each time.
With so many people here, it’s impossible for everyone to buy a round of goods.
Because, even if each consumes only a minute, it could only satisfy one hundred and twenty people.
Moreover.
The Mysterious Merchant brings many goods each time, but they are not unlimited.
Thus, lining up earlier increases the chance of buying good items. Hang Yu prioritized shopping for himself, Zhao Ming, Xu Tianhua, followed by Jiang Nan and other core members and captains.
Once Hang Yu’s team finished shopping.
Other teams took their turn, and how much they could buy was none of Hang Yu’s concern.
Hang Yu personally prepared Crystal Stones worth about seventeen thousand White Crystals, his entire personal funds, which would be spent on himself or his Favored ones like Dog and Bai.
Moreover, under Hang Yu’s lead, the team raised forty-five hundred White Crystals, shared from the team’s usual funds, with everyone contributing a bit, primarily for items related to team or territory needs.
Hang Yu also received a substantial sum from Teacher Su.
Primarily to help Su Yunbing and the Cyan Dragon Team buy items, plus fee-based procurement.
Hang Yu wasted no time and directly asked the Mysterious Merchant, "I want Soul Covenant, Favored Contract. Do you have them? At least 10-level contracts!"
The Mysterious Merchant instantly replied, "Of course, I do!"
[Favored Contract], 10-level contract, Green Upper Grade Quality, priced at 120 Green Crystal Stones.
[Soul Covenant], 10-level contract, Green Upper Grade Quality, priced at 200 Green Crystals.
Hang Yu nodded satisfactorily.
He had previously purchased a Favored Contract from the Mysterious Merchant once.
Last time, he bought an 8-level contract, costing only 100 Green Crystals. This time, it’s a 10-level contract, so it required spending a bit more Crystal Stones. But this expenditure was worth it.
Hang Yu planned to bind the Jackal Wolfman Yeno and Yegu with the team.
But the Jackal Wolfman, being cunning, fickle, and capricious, could only be used securely by signing a Favored Contract, recruiting Jackal Wolfman scouts for Deserted Valley Town.
As for Soul Covenant?
This item belongs to large multiplayer contracts.
Well, it can be roughly understood as a guild application order, essential for establishing large forces or organizations. Once such a covenant is signed, teams of hundreds or thousands will be influenced by the contract’s power. Although it creates some mild constraints, it also brings many conveniences.
This is a required item for building large forces in the Spirit Realm.
Level 10 covenant isn’t high; it can bind no more than a thousand people.
Only dragging in formally assessed personnel, this Soul Covenant is entirely adequate!
Its price is much higher than the Favored Contract, less so in carrying publicly. It can initially be patched up, get the three contracts first, and deal with any refunds later.
All set!
Next is considering himself.
Hang Yu hoped to enhance his strength as quickly as possible.
The best way to improve strength, none other than Skills, Equipment, Secret Medicine!
Of these, Equipment has limited Durability and may become obsolete; Secret Medicine usually offers permanent basic Attributes enhancement, so relatively speaking, the most cost-effective and sustainable option is undoubtedly the Skill Stone.
The proverb goes, skills are never too much.
Especially when, once inheritance is gained, Attributes are permanently increased.
Certain special High Tier inheritances, besides increasing Attributes, can permanently transform life forms.
Hang Yu quickly made an internal summary.
"I currently possess 3 Second Tier inheritances, 1 Otherworld inheritance, plus several skill fragments..."
"Namely: First Tier inheritance ’Archer’, Second Tier inheritance ’Berserker’, Second Tier inheritance ’Gale Messenger’, Second Tier inheritance ’Combat Expert’, Flashing Mage fragment ’Flashing Skill’, Secret Researcher fragment ’Spiritual Research’..."
Recalling by memory.
The inheritance sequence is as follows.
Archer → Sniper → Divine Archer!
Barbarian → Berserker → Frenzy Lord!
Scout → Gale Messenger → Rapid Shadow Warrior!
Fighter → Combat Expert → Iron-blooded Instructor!
Hang Yu has limited resources and funds.
He could concentrate resources and Spiritual Qi to forge a Third Tier inheritance for battle power boost!
Thus, "Frenzy Lord" and "Rapid Shadow Warrior" offer the highest cost-effectiveness!
Because these two inheritances provide the greatest boost to direct combat power.
Frenzy Lord significantly enhances Strength, Constitution Attributes, group battles, and range attack effects.
Rapid Shadow Warrior greatly boosts agility, speed Attributes, and generates substantial enhancement in 1v1 duels.
As for Iron-blooded Instructor? Though it has its unique aspects, especially in survival ability enhancement and control skills excellence, for Hang Yu currently, the practical boost doesn’t surpass the previous two.
The Archer inheritance is only First Tier now.
Perhaps trying to push for Second Tier Sniper.
Third Tier Divine Archer is sharp indeed, but remote attack usage ultimately has lower frequency than melee, and because it is still separated by Second Tier Sniper, its priority ranks lower unless none of the three inheritance skills are available, only then slightly consider it.
Other than that.
According to Hang Yu’s knowledge.
Flashing Mage’s three skills are: Flashing Skill, Transfer Skill, Spatial Perception.
Secret Researcher’s three skills are: Spiritual Research, Intelligence Research, Magic Research.
The former is a rare Space Series inheritance, if there’s an opportunity to grasp it, surely can’t be abandoned. The latter is an ordinary First Tier Magic Professional inheritance. However, due to its decent Spiritual Power enhancement, Skill Stone prices wouldn’t be high; if spare money is on hand, it might directly be taken.
Hang Yu already had a priority and plan in mind, and he immediately told the Mysterious Merchant, "I want to see the Skill Stones for Frenzy Lord, Rapid Shadow Warrior, Iron-blooded Instructor, Sniper, Flashing Mage, Secret Researcher."
Hang Yu swiftly listed a series of inheritance titles.
This left many people astonished.
Could it be all for his own needs?
If so, Hang Yu is too outrageous; how could one person possibly master so many inheritances? Not to mention, just the Spiritual Qi expenditure alone is unimaginable!
Moreover, each skill from mastery to proficiency requires time to practice, the higher the level of skill, the more practice time is needed, if simultaneously forging too many inheritance sequences, scheduling enough time for cultivation threatens difficulty!
However, it feels like it truly is Hang Yu buying Skill Stones for himself.
Because everyone who fought alongside Hang Yu knows Hang Yu’s capabilities very well.
The probability of him possessing these inheritances or related preliminary inheritances is exceedingly high... that’s also the reason why he is so strong!
The Mysterious Merchant also showed surprise.
Yet a professional merchant wouldn’t inquire into his customer’s situation.
Besides, as the strongest Spirit Realm merchant doing business across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, what scene hasn’t been witnessed? So he promptly started rummaging, while introducing simultaneously.
"The array of inheritable skills you inquired is extensive; some are even Third Tier inheritances, even here, I can’t definitely have all covered, after all, being number 90024, my supply capacity is limited."
"Still, for what you desire, I have at least half!"
While speaking.
The Mysterious Merchant revealed a range of Skill Stone information.
Hang Yu scanned through them at a glance, finding many missing, yet it was enough to significantly enhance strength.
