Half an hour later, Su Yu returned to his rental house and connected the game helmet to the power supply.
Like a laptop, the game helmet could only be played for two or three hours at most without power, so it had to be connected to the power supply for a long gaming duration.
"This time, I've made a fortune! Not only did I acquire billions of resources, but I also weakened Skuru's power!"
Feeling quite pleased, Su Yu donned the helmet and entered the game.
After a grand CG sequence, Su Yu found himself in an ancient temple.
The walls of the temple were engraved with complex and mysterious runes, and in the center of the temple, a colossal sword, three times the height of a man, was embedded.
This was the login interface for "Evolution".
"Welcome to 'Evolution', adventurer. You have absorbed one hundred billion Spirit Power Values, would you like to convert them into spiritual energy coins?"
The usually cold game alert sound was laced with a hint of flattery and appeasement, an unusual occurrence that left Su Yu a bit disoriented.
"Convert all of it!"
"Ding, conversion successful, you have received one hundred billion spiritual energy coins!"
Seeing the column of spiritual energy coins displaying "10000000000", Su Yu, despite his nerves of steel thanks to his experiences, was left stupefied.
Spiritual energy coins are the common in-game currency.
At the beginning of the game, the off-the-line exchange price for spiritual energy coins remained high at 1:10 Flower Coins.
Furthermore, the value of the spiritual energy coins was quite stable; it never fell below 10:1, even in the later stages of the game, when most players were at levels 50 or 60.
"So, if I were to exchange all these spiritual energy coins for Flower Coins, wouldn't I be a billionaire?"
Su Yu felt his lips going dry.
However, the game prompt broke his reverie:
"Please select your occupation."
In front of the enormous sword in the temple, phantoms of the seven available occupations appeared.
"The mighty Warrior."
"The mystic Mage."
"The blade in the shadows, Assassin."
"The devout beliefs of the Priest."
"The unwavering shield of the Holy Knights."
"The twirling arrow, Archer."
"The balance of nature, Druid."
The seven spectral representations of the occupations, clad in splendid high-ranking equipment, showcased their respective skills at the temple's center.
Blades whirled, fire waves rolled, giant bears roared, holy light shone...
Through Su Yu's experienced perspective, it was clear that the quality of the equipment worn by each of these specters was high, at least of Epic quality.
Moreover, the skills being displayed were indeed rare within the game, so the presentation was not misleading.
"I choose Mage." Su Yu made his decision.
The Mage occupation had few spells available at the early stages of the game, and leveling up was rather difficult due to constantly having to sit down to recover after casting just a few spells.
But Su Yu had one hundred billion spiritual energy coins! There was nothing money couldn't solve.
Moreover, the Mage occupation was the one in which power could be increased most quickly by throwing money at it.
"Ding, the 'Mage' occupation has been selected. Please name your character."
"Hmm..." Su Yu fell into deep thought.
What should he choose for a name?
"Skuru Destroyer"?
That won't do — it was too blatant and could attract the attention of the governments around the world. After all, only the higher-ups of the global governments knew about the term "Skuru."
"I'll name him 'Nemesis'!" After some thought, Su Yu made up his mind.
"Name successful. You have gained one opportunity to randomly draw a 'Bloodline'. Would you like to draw one?"
"Draw."
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the common Bloodline [Forest Elf Blood], which increases spell power by 5% in forest environments. Would you like to spend 10 spiritual energy coins to draw again?"
"Draw again." Su Yu didn't hesitate.
The quality of Bloodlines is categorized as common (white), excellent (green), rare (blue), epic (purple), and legendary (orange).
As someone with hundreds of billions of spiritual energy coins, how could he be content with just a common Bloodline?
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the rare Bloodline [Troll Chief Bloodline]. Would you like to spend 100 spiritual energy coins to draw again?"
"Draw again."
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the excellent Bloodline [Frost Naga Bloodline]...."
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the epic Bloodline [Storm Dragon Bloodline]...."
Each time Su Yu chooses to draw again, the amount of spiritual energy coins required multiplies by 10.
Eventually, every time he clicked, it cost as many as ten million spiritual energy coins!
But, fortunately, once the cost reached ten million spiritual energy coins, it no longer increased.
"Goodbye, a detached house in Imperial Capital's fourth ring, draw again."
"Goodbye, ten luxury sports cars, draw again."
Even though Su Yu spoke these words, he didn't even blink an eye.
He kept on drawing, all for the sake of a legendary Bloodline.
Houses and cars were virtual objects — the most important thing was to have stronger power to ensure his survival in reality.
Finally, after drawing more than 200 times and spending over 20 billion spiritual energy coins, a burst of golden light exploded in the temple.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the legendary Bloodline [Star Bloodline]!"
"Finally, it's arrived! I must really have the luck of an emperor." Wiping off sweat, Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Based on the information Su Yu had, the people who possess a legendary Bloodline were very few in the world.
Amongst the approximately three billion people who entered the game, only 5 or 6 supremely lucky individuals managed to obtain a legendary Bloodline, and this was only after half a year of gameplay had passed.
In Su Yu's case, it took just over 200 tries to obtain a legendary Bloodline, making him extremely fortunate indeed.
After completing the drawing, the details of the [Star Bloodline] were displayed before his eyes.
[Star Bloodline (Legendary)]
Bloodline Talent:
1, [Star Transformation]: You can manifest your strength and skills into the real world.
2, [Point Star Hand]: You can use experience points and spiritual energy coins to enhance your skills and the items you obtain, improving their quality.
After seeing the talents of the [Star Bloodline], Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected of a legendary Bloodline! It's so powerful!
Setting aside the second talent, Su Yu was already very satisfied with the first one alone.
Other players had to reach Level 50 and complete a series of difficult tasks to materialize their strength in reality.
But Su Yu was different — he could bring his strength and skills into reality even at Level 1!
This gave him strong self-defense capability in the real world in the early stages!
As for the second talent, he would need to know more about the game before he could draw a conclusion.
