Chapter 79 The Pain of Wealth

  As expected, the pointer stopped at the largest area, which was the resource reward.

  [The hunter has obtained 5,000 Paradise Coins]

  "That's it?"

  Bai You suspected that he had drawn the worst reward. It was not easy to obtain the Scarlet Voucher. In the end, only three people survived in that dungeon.

  And even with such a valuable reward, Bai You drew 5,000 Paradise Coins, which was the price of a good green equipment.

  "..."

  Bai You turned the pointer again. He no longer had any other hope. Another 5,000 Paradise Coins was not bad.

  Bai You comforted himself silently and looked at the pointer on the roulette wheel.

  The pointer slowly moved down and was about to stop at the green resource area.

  However, suddenly, the pointer finally accelerated and slowly stopped at the smallest area on the roulette wheel.

  This area did not flash, but its value could be seen from the area it occupied.

  [The hunter has obtained the energy key (inherited item)]

  [Warning: This item is relatively dangerous and can only be used after returning to the exclusive room]

  Holding this thing called the energy key, Bai You felt the energy in his body throbbing.

  "Is it related to my professional inheritance?"

  Bai You looked at the key in his hand. Although it was called the Energy Key, its appearance was very ordinary. It was just a stone key.

  "Did the pointer move at the end just now?"

  Bai You recalled the scene just now. If the card draw just now was his luck, he didn't know what crazy things would happen next.

  "I hope it's because of the professional attraction."

  Bai You sighed and felt that his future hope was slim.

  ...

  Not long after, Bai You returned to his exclusive room. Before using the Energy Key, he decided to improve his mechanical expertise.

  [Mechanics (Knowledge Skill Lv.12)]

  [Mechanical Expertise (Passive Lv.4), improvement requires Soul Crystal (Small) × 1, 1000 Paradise Coins. ]

  After a long world progress, the accumulation of knowledge is enough, and now it only needs to be improved.

  Bai You chose to improve continuously.

  The Soul Crystal shattered and merged into Bai You's body. He closed his eyes, and a series of figures appeared in his mind.

  Some of them were fighting with various mechanical items, and some were using various equipment to make machinery. Finally, they merged with Bai You's figure.

  It turned out that I had already understood these.

  After spending 6 Soul Crystals (Small) and 6,000 Paradise Coins, Mechanical Expertise was upgraded to Lv.10.

  Mechanical Expertise (Passive Lv.10): Increases the attack power of mechanical creations by 28%, and the proficiency in using mechanical creations.

  Lv.10 Additional Ability: Mechanical Heart (Primary), which can transform animals into mechanical units.

  [Mechanical Expertise (Passive Lv.10), upgrade requires Soul Crystal (Medium) × 1, 5,000 Paradise Coins.]

  When a mastery skill reaches Lv.10, it will gain an additional ability, which varies from person to person and cannot be improved in Paradise, requiring self-understanding.

  Bai You has some ideas about the skill of Mechanical Heart. After wearing the Dark Phantom, his Charm has reached 15 points, catching up with the Strength and Agility attributes.

  This is the result of him not spending attribute points on the Charm attribute.

  Bai You speculates that the attribute of Energy Affinity will improve his temperament and increase his Charm attribute.

  When communicating with races that like natural energy, Bai You's Charm attribute is more useful. When Bai You first met the owner of Spring Season Restaurant, Treeman Huairou, he was offered a free meal.

  With a high charm attribute, plus the two skills of summoning mastery and manipulation, maybe he can try to develop mechanical summons in the next world.

  …   

  After level 10, if you want to improve your mechanical expertise, you need to use Soul Crystal (Medium).

  Bai You only has one Soul Crystal now, and it can only improve your mechanical expertise by one level.

  Bai You chose to spend 500 Paradise Coins and asked to decompose the Soul Crystal (Medium). One medium Soul Crystal can be decomposed into 8-10 small Soul Crystals, but small Soul Crystals cannot be combined into medium Soul Crystals.

  [You get 6 small Soul Crystals (Partially damaged due to unknown reasons)]

  "Awesome."

  Bai You was stunned. Even the decomposition of Paradise Soul Crystals could go wrong. His luck was really invincible.

  Bai You now has 7 small Soul Crystals. He can spend 6 to raise his magic essence to level 10, and the remaining one to maintain Hao Jin.

  After choosing to upgrade again, Bai You felt that the energy in his body was abnormally agitated, and then blood flowed out of his nasal cavity.

  The upgrade was completed, but the energy did not stop.

  "Bai You, use that energy key!"

  Qing Bi saw that Bai You was in a bad condition and hurriedly reminded him.

  Bai You took out the energy key and activated it with mana.

  This action made the energy in Bai You's body even more violent. His body was damaged and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, in which fragments of internal organs could be vaguely seen.

  The outer skin of the stone key was broken, revealing its true appearance. This is a key made of metal. It does not look elegant, but is full of mechanical wildness.

  At this time, Bai You could no longer hold on, and his eyes went dark and he passed out.

  After a long time, Bai You woke up.

  Everything in front of him was very familiar. It was the place where Bai You inherited the profession of mechanical priest.

  At this time, he was leaning in the pool where he was when he transformed his physique.

  "Finally woke up."

  A white-bearded old man appeared in front of Bai You. It was the energy projection that gave Bai You the inheritance before.

  "I didn't expect that after so long, there are still so many soul stone resources in the void. Should I say it is worthy of being the reincarnation paradise?"

  Bai You tried to get up, but unfortunately failed and fell back into the water again.

  "Don't rush to get up. You have used too many soul stones in a short period of time, and your body is not adapted to it."

  The old man briefly explained the situation to Bai You.

  Bai You's energy life physique adaptability is already very strong, but this time it happened to improve the professional skill of magic.

  The riot of energy was very harmful to Bai You's body, so he couldn't hold on.

  "The Paradise Camp is almost as wealthy as we were back then."

  The old man was very experienced in dealing with the aftereffects of the Soul Stone, and it seemed that this situation had occurred many times in the past.

  "I haven't asked for your name yet, senior?"

  "Victor Creskov, no need to be polite, just call me Victor."

  Victor said so, but Bai You still respectfully called him Teacher Victor.

  If he hadn't inherited this profession, he wouldn't have been able to reach his current strength.

  Victor smiled bitterly after hearing this.

  "I hope you won't hate me in the future, most mechanical priests don't have a good ending."

  Bai You didn't care much. Maybe the road ahead would be difficult, but it would definitely not be ordinary. To live a life of glory and glory, that was his wish.

  Victor said no more, he began to sprinkle some kind of powder into the pool, and said to Bai You:

  "It just so happens that your current state is suitable for awakening an ability."

  "What ability?"

  "Life, mana, and energy blend with each other."
