Chapter 1: The Secret Realm
Maybe a second, maybe a long time...
Qiao Mai woke up suddenly, and lost consciousness the moment he stepped into the critical portal. Even when he woke up now, the dark and silent space around him suddenly plunged him into boundless fear.
“……………”
Struggling hard, Qiao Mai wanted to speak, only to find that he had completely lost control of his body, and the suffocating feeling made him desperate.
Slowly, a little white glimmer slowly appeared in Qiao Mai's consciousness.
"Ding, the player has completed the first bubble world experience..."
"Ding, the player has 8,231 pirate coins left, please decide if you want to exchange it now..."
Listening to the cold prompt sound of the system in his head, Qiao Mai was overjoyed, he had never felt that the sound of the system was so beautiful and beautiful.
"Sure, I'm sure... What the hell is this, system? ”
Qiao Mai asked urgently, but the cold system ignored him very calmly.
"Ding, the pirate warehouse has been opened successfully..."
The familiar exchange option of the warehouse appeared in front of Qiao Mai's eyes again, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. It's just that before he could recover from that excitement, the constant sound of the system made him stunned for a moment.
"Ding, it has been detected that the player has experienced and completed a campaign mission, and the player will be directly teleported to the Gaia continent after the redemption is completed... The current remaining redemption time is 2 minutes and 57 seconds..."
"Ding, it has been detected that players have experienced the bubble world less than three times, and players can spend additional Mandate Copper Coins or special currencies to open the qualification to enter the secret realm once..."
"Ding, you can get a random secret realm entry qualification by consuming 1,000 Destiny Copper Coins (other currencies), and consuming 5,000 Destiny Copper Coins (other currencies) can get a secret realm entry qualification that matches the player exactly..."
"Ding, the system prompts: The current player can enter the secret realm as the bronze secret realm, and the highest reward that can be obtained is: black iron permission of a certain civilization..."
"Ding, player, please decide if you choose to enter the secret realm?"
A series of prompts from the system directly made Qiao Mai stunned. Why was only one world being teleported to the continent of Gaia? What the hell is the secret realm? I even asked for money...
"Damn, why was I teleported away after just experiencing a world? system, is it your ghost..."
"Your uncle, did you deliberately engage in the master..."
Qiao Mai was anxious all of a sudden, but he couldn't move at all, so he could only keep denouncing the system in his head. It's a pity that even if he scolded the ancestors of the system for eighteen generations, the tsundere system didn't pay attention to him at all.
"Ding, please choose whether to enter the secret realm... Confirm countdown 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3..."
"Confirm, confirm... Rub..."
Seeing this scene, Qiao Mai was no longer able to complain, and seeing that the countdown had reached 2, he hurriedly chose yes. No matter what kind of place he is, it would be good to accumulate a little more before entering the Gaia continent, who knows what the Gaia continent is like. Even this egg-wrenching bubble world was just an appetizer before entering the Gaia continent, and Qiao Mai couldn't afford to have a beautiful and peaceful place, maybe it was much more nonsense than in this bubble world.
"Ding, the player chooses to enter the secret realm (bronze), please choose to enter randomly, or the system matches the player's attributes to enter... Select the countdown, 10,9..."
Forehead... Why do you have to count down? And all only give 10 seconds? Would you die if you give a little more time? Qiao Mai, who feels completely cheated by the system, is no longer able to complain. Thinking that it had already cost money anyway, Qiao Mai simply chose to match in. He wanted to see what the secret realm that matched him exactly what it looked like.
"Ding, the player chooses to match to enter the secret realm (bronze), and deduct 5,000 Mandate of Heaven copper coins... At present, there is a shortage of Mandate of Heaven Copper Coins, deducting 5,000 Pirate Gold Coins..."
"Ding, players will enter the matchmaking secret realm after the redemption is completed, and the current remaining exchange time is 1 minute and 23 seconds..."
Looking at the suddenly shrunken pirate gold coins, Qiao Mai's flesh ached. In fact, special currencies such as Pirate Gold Coin are much more valuable than Copper Coins of the Mandate of Heaven. At the very least, Copper Destiny Coins can't be redeemed at the system at all, except for basic consumables. The biggest role of the Mandate of Heaven Copper Coin is to supplement the player's consumption of survival in the game. As the environment changes, the amount of Copper Destiny Coins consumed by the player per hour increases.
In short, the Mandate of Heaven Copper Coin is a universal consumption currency, and if you want to get rare treasures, you can't just have the Mandate of Heaven Copper Coins.
"Exchange for three Flesh Essences..."
Qiao Mai, who had eaten two of these things, was extremely satisfied with the effect of this precious consumable. It's just that the explosion rate of this thing is too low. Although there is a chance to kill the Warrior and the above monsters, Iron Dance and Antonio, the two peak forces, have never seen this thing at all, so it can be seen that the explosion rate is really not high.
After exchanging the flesh and blood essence, there were only more than two hundred pirate gold coins left on Qiao Mai's body. Thinking that it was useless to go out of this thing, Qiao Mai simply spent it all and exchanged it for a lot of food in the system. Advocating Qiao Mai, who is the first in quantity, he exchanges the cheapest buns, bread and so on.
"End of redemption... Players will enter the Matchmaking Secret Realm (Bronze)... Countdown 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...."
"The system prompts that after the player leaves the bubble world, the shelter effect will disappear..."
"The system prompts that the highest level for players to enter the current secret realm is bronze..."
"The system prompts that the player has not entered the Gaia continent, and the bronze baptism cannot be opened... When the player leaves the secret realm, the bronze baptism will be completed immediately..."
"The secret realm has been successfully opened, and the teleportation begins..."
Qiao Mai, who heard the last few prompts from the system, turned white in an instant. But before he could scream, the boundless darkness completely enveloped him again, and he lost consciousness again.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Hmm... Where is this? ”
Qiao Mai suddenly came to his senses again. It's as if he's been here all along, never left. That eerie feeling made Qiao Mai feel palpitations inexplicably.
"Whew... Haha..."
There was darkness all around, and the perception was as powerful as Qiao Mai, and he could only dimly sense everything around him. However, the damp smell of dirt in the air made Qiao Mai realize that he was underground.
"Ding, the player is starting to enter the secret realm (bronze): Shingon Sect Underground Palace..."
"Once prominent, Shingon Buddhism is the most powerful monastic sect within a radius of thousands of kilometers. A superficial nine-character mantra was studied and practiced by the Shingon sect to the point of being unpredictable, and with the power of the supreme mantra, the Shingon sect became the leader of the righteous path at that time. When the Demon Dao was prosperous, the Demon Gate Zombie Dao led a group of demons to attack, and after a hundred days of war, the Shingon Sect was outnumbered and forced to retreat to the sect's underground palace..."
"Ding, the dilapidated Shingon Sect underground palace has buried many sect treasures and inheritance Dao methods..."
"Ding, there are currently 19 players entering..."
Seeing this, Qiao Mai had completely understood that the so-called secret realm was something similar to a treasure. No wonder, it costs money to get in.
However, Shingon Buddhism...
Thinking of the nine-character mantra on his body, Qiao Mai suddenly brightened. The so-called matching secret realm should be this.,The secret realm that is completely related to a certain skill or talent on your body.。
In other words, can you find other mantras of the nine-character mantra here?
Qiao Mai was overjoyed at the thought of this. Although he didn't find any other effect, he was saved several times by just one word trick. Thinking that he could collect other parts and let this skill break through the limit of level 5, Qiao Mai cried excitedly, the value of the 5,000 pirate gold coins.
Impatient, Qiao Mai began to fumble around in the dark space. Soon, Qiao Mai found the door to go out, this dark room was not big at all, and there was no furniture at all. Opening the door, a light blue light curtain blocked the door, and Qiao Mai squeezed it for a while and fell into it.
"Ding, the player has officially entered the secret realm: Shingon Sect Underground Palace..."
"Ding, the player is completely out of the bubble world, and the system shelter is completely canceled..."
"Ding, your character attributes have changed..."
As soon as he left the light curtain, Qiao Mai heard the system's prompt sound again. He looked back, and sure enough, the light curtain had completely disappeared, and there was no door. It's a weird place.
A foul-hearted Qiao Mai opened his character panel, and the system prompted that his character attributes had changed. Qiao Mai, who was confused, looked at the familiar attribute bar and was puzzled. The stat values have not changed, and the skills and character characteristics are still there.
It's just that when he focused his attention on the introduction column of the character's characteristics, the tragedy found that his awesome character characteristics (mysterious will) had completely changed.
Mystic Will (Bronze): Your powerful soul power has broken through the bronze boundary on its own, and the mysterious rules of the world are watching you. Your soul is attached to the will of terror. Every 10 minutes, you will gain the ability of Soul Blast, and you will be completely immune to all Soul Attacks of the same tier.
Soul Shock: Unleashes a powerful spiritual shock wave at a 3x3 meter radius around you. Deals true damage of Soul Attribute Difference *3 to each hostile target.
This trait, which made Qiao Mai proud, has been severely weakened, and the skill soul blast that used to automatically launch on every close enemy has become something that can only be used every ten minutes. The cooldown has increased tenfold from one minute, and it has changed from passive trigger to active release, but the damage has not increased at all.
Seeing this, Qiao Mai was already in tears. This makes him how to dominate the monster group in the future. However, the increased immunity to the same level of psychic attacks gave Qiao Mai a little comfort, but fortunately, it was still much stronger than the same trait obtained by other players.
Thinking about it carefully, combined with the previous system prompts, Qiao Mai figured it out. This perverted character trait should be a protective talisman given to him by the system to avoid death in the bubble world.
"It seems that for high-potential players, the system is still very concerned... Maybe this secret realm is also the result of the system opening the back door..."
Qiao Mai had no idea, his conjecture was completely correct.
If you want to enter a secret realm, you have to pay a huge price just to get the qualification to enter. Only by killing the champion or above will you be eligible to enter a secret realm. And to enter the secret realm, you have to pay a high entrance fee, not to mention the high risks that exist in the secret realm.
However, the high harvest in the secret realm makes all this effort completely worth it. There is a chance to get a World Permission Activation Order, which will make every player go crazy. And, Jo Mai shit luckily entered this treasure trove that all players coveted.
