Chapter Twenty-Five: A Reward from the Devil
In a burst of intense dizziness, Xu Ye only felt that his health and abnormal energy were rapidly recovering, and it didn't take long for them to return to full value.
After a while, the dizziness gradually disappeared, and Xu Ye slowly opened his eyes:
"Well, I'm ······ Where?"
Xu Ye finds himself out of the world of X-Men and has been transported into a strange (ě) strange (xīn) space.
The space was about the size of a classroom, and the walls around it and above were covered with crimson fleshy layers that were constantly wriggling and emitting faint red fluorescence, and in some places there were even disgusting tentacles growing in the air, swinging irregularly in the air.
Look at the ground again, the ground is covered with a thick layer of dark red gravel, like clotted blood, and like red-hot iron filings. The scorching air was filled with a disgusting smell of rotten flesh and sulfur.
"This is the Tower of Glory - Taki World, the mission settlement hall. A cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
Xu Ye was taken aback, turned his head to look, and what caught his eye was a black mist more than three meters high, and the sound just now came from this fog.
"Uh, okay. I didn't expect the taste of the Tower of Glory to be quite heavy, hehe, I mean, the décor of this hall is really ······ It's unique. ”
Given that the other party was most likely the manager of the Tower of Glory, Xu Ye didn't want to complain about the environment here, but this hall was really not in line with the aesthetics of normal humans.
"It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable, because the world of Taki is originally a small planet belonging to the Abyss plane. ”
"The Abyss Plane?!"
Xu Ye suddenly remembered that the dark red earth he observed when the spaceship approached the Taji world did not look like the environment that a normal human world should have.
"Yes, the Abyss Plane has a unique law of reincarnation, and any living creature that stays here for a period of time will gradually be reincarnated as a demonic creature. ”
The voice in the black mist paused, and continued:
"And it is precisely because of the law of reincarnation here that those who have taken a fancy to this place have dragged this planet out of the abyssal plane and transformed it into the first world of the Tower of Glory, dedicated to helping newcomers reincarnate into four-dimensional lifeforms. ”
"So, where have all the aborigines here?" Xu Ye nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked, "I haven't seen a single demonic creature in the Taji world before. ”
"Most of those demons died in a civil war thousands of years ago, and only a small number of high-level demons are still alive here. Later, the planet was transformed into the world of Taki, and the surviving demons joined the Tower of Glory. ”
"Looks like you're interested in demons. ”
With that, the black mist quickly dissipated, revealing the figure of a tall and terrifying monster:
I saw that this monster had three eyes and four arms, a huge mouth and fangs, a head with two horns, two wings on its back, and a majestic body like a black rock, and its whole body was covered with finger-thick cracks, and the dark golden magma was faintly visible in the cracks.
"You, you, you, are you, that's, the legendary, the devil ?!!"
Xu Ye saw a living demon for the first time since he was a child, and he didn't know whether to be scared or excited for a while.
"No, I'm not really a demon strictly speaking. The monster simply sat down on the spot, just at such a height that he could be at eye level with Xu Ye: "My true identity is actually the world will of the Taji world, and this appearance is just my embodied form." ”
"Will of the world, is it true that this planet also has an independent personality consciousness?"
"Yes, each layer of the world of the Tower of Glory has its own personality consciousness. As long as the Evolver receives a high enough rating in the quest world, he or she can meet the Will of the World in the Quest Settlement Hall, and the Will of the World will personally issue the quest rewards. ”
"So, it's my honor to see the Will of the World?"
"That's not true, it's just that physical rewards like hidden rewards and special rewards can only be issued by the will of the world. ”
Hearing this, Xu Ye suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly opened his backpack to check it, but fortunately, he had no less loot in the mission world, so he breathed a sigh of relief. (As for the clothes on his body, long before the final hunt, he had already changed into the rookie suit of the Tower of Glory)
Regarding Xu Ye's behavior, the will of the world did not express any opinions, and it was probably no surprise for a long time:
"Okay, everything that needs to be explained has been explained to you, now it's time to get back to business. ”
"Oh, are you going to give out task rewards?" At the mention of the word reward, Xu Ye suddenly smiled.
"Yes. But before I can do that, I'll have to take back the temporary stat enhancements and cosmetic adjustments that the Tower of Glory has provided you. ”
After that, with a wave of the world's will, a black light swept by, Xu Ye only felt a pain in his head, and his originally clear thinking instantly became dull, and at the same time, his body sank, as if he had fallen into a quagmire.
Open "Personal Data Information" to view, and sure enough, it was beaten back to the prototype:
Basic Information (Partial):
[Life Level Index: 1.08 (-0.58)]
Basic Status (Partial):
[HP: 110/110 (-110)]
[HP: 22/22]
[Mental Power: 22/22 (-44)]
Basic Attributes:
[Constitution: 11]
[Soul Strength: 11 (-22)]
[Strength: 5]
[Intelligence: 18]
[Dexterity: 6 (-12)]
"It seems that I have become accustomed to high soul strength and high agility attributes, and now that I have been suddenly beaten back to the prototype, I will not be used to it immediately. ”
While thinking about it in pieces, Xu Ye took out the glory terminal and took a photo, only to see that his appearance had also changed from a blue-eyed and blonde handsome guy to his original ordinary appearance.
"Don't worry, when you get to the first layer of the world, you can spend a sum of glory points to strengthen your attributes again. Even as long as you have enough glory points, it is not difficult to change your appearance permanently. ”
The Will of the World said casually as it summoned a huge translucent screen out of thin air:
[Main quest completion: 100%]
[Side quest completion: 17%]
[Hidden Quest Completion: 100%]
[Special Mission Completion: 100%]
[Mission Evaluation: Perfect]
"Well, yes, yes, in my impression, there are very few newcomers who can get the highest level of perfect evaluation, it seems that you are in luck. ”
After that, the world will gesture changed, and the content on the screen suddenly changed:
[Main quest reward: 1000 glory points× 3=3000 glory points, 1 skill point]
[Side quest reward: 1000 glory points× 1×50% = 500 glory points]
[Hidden Quest Reward: 1 Skill Point, Hidden Reward (Choose 1 of 2)]
[Special Mission Reward: 1 Skill Point, Special Reward (Choose 1 of 2)]
[Newbie Mission, All Rewards Doubled]
"Wow, all the rewards are doubled!" Xu Ye excitedly lit up: "In other words, I got a total of ······ for this mission"
[Hint, you have earned: 7000 glory points, 6 skill points]
At this moment, Xu Ye almost couldn't help but want to dance, although he didn't know what the purchasing power of 7,000 glory points or 6 skill points meant, but he believed that for newcomers, this was definitely a lot of wealth.
"Well, a great start, I hope you can make good use of it. World Will nodded and said, "Alright, now let's claim your hidden reward." ”
With that, the content on the screen changes again:
Hidden Rewards (Choose 1 of 2):
A. Choose any purple destiny item (rare quality) from the mission world.
B. Randomly obtain a destiny item from the mission world, with a 30% chance of getting a gold item (legendary quality), a 50% chance of getting a purple item (rare quality), and a 20% chance of getting a blue item (excellent quality).
"By the way, what level of red special quality items are counted?" Xu Ye suddenly thought of his variety suit, so he asked.
"You've got a red quality piece of equipment, and you're really lucky! Red quality means that the value of the item is uncertain or low for the time being, but it has a lot of potential. ”
The will of the world did not feel impatient at all because Xu Ye had too many questions:
"With enough patience and resources, almost all red quality items can eventually grow to the point where they can compete with dark gold items!"
"Well, I'll choose to reward A. Xu Ye said thoughtfully.
"Okay, so you can now choose any of the following rare quality rewards, or just tell me what type of reward you want, and I'll help you figure it out. ”
As he spoke, the screen changed again, and a reward display page appeared, listing hundreds of pages of rare equipment, rare materials, rare consumables, rare skill books, and more from the world of X-Men!
"I want Katie the Phantom Cat's ability to penetrate matter!"
There is no need to think about this at all, Xu Ye blurted out.
In the mission world, Xu Ye used Katie's ability to penetrate matter, and he didn't know how many difficulties he overcame. He knew very well that without Katie's ability support, he would not have been able to get this level of perfection at all.
Now that there is a chance to get this ability, how could Xu Ye let it go!
What's more, from a strategic standpoint, Katie's Matter Piercing ability is more valuable than Wagner's teleportation ability!
"Well, I'll see, if it's rare, this should be the one that best meets your requirements. ”
As he spoke, World Will put his hand into the fleshy layer of the ground, and after groping for a while, he immediately took out a purple skill book and threw it to Xu Ye:
【Atomization】
[Type: Active Skill]
【Skill Cost: 10 Abnormal Energy】
[Maintenance Skill Cost: 20 energy per second]
[Quality: Rare (Purple)]
[Level: 1 (Max Level 5)]
[Skill Effect: Atomizes the body, which can penetrate any solid matter.] After atomization, the releaser can expend stamina to move freely in any direction, but will still be affected by force fields such as gravity. 】
[Note: After atomization, it cannot penetrate energy.] It can carry up to 10 kg of substances other than itself and atomize them. After atomization, it is temporarily impossible to breathe]
"That's it! That's it!"
Xu Ye held the skill book in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but want to open the skill book to learn this skill now.
"I can see that you really like this skill, but don't rush to use it just yet. The Will of the World said in a still cold voice:
"With all the rewards for Starter Missions doubled, you now have two options: first, you can claim a new Hidden Mission reward again, and second, you can forgo the chance to claim it again to take your first reward a step higher!"
