In the Hell Domain, Departure
In the afternoon, at the logistics department.
"I want to exchange for three pieces of Prison Abyss Ore, two Wish Crystals, and a Fusion Beast Crystal Horn."
"Besides that, I need five level 5 Life Crystals and four level 4 Crystals."
As soon as Chen Chu finished speaking, both the staff and the students in line behind him showed astonished expressions, because these materials were worth almost two thousand contribution points.
However, this was Chen Chu, the top young genius in the southern region, so it was normal for him to be extravagant.
Moreover, as a heavenly prodigy, the school and the authorities must provide many rewards and resources.
Thinking of this, the students behind him showed looks of envy.
As for jealousy, there was none, since these achievements were earned through Chen Chu's hard work; anyone who was not convinced could also try to walk the invincible path.
"Prison Abyss Ore is 300, Wish Crystals are 340, Fusion Beast Crystal Horn is 150, and for the Life Crystals, nine of them total 1220. The total comes to 2010 contribution points."
"Chen, you have a 40% discount privilege, so it will be 1206 after the discount. But your account only has 356 contribution points and 300 merit points…" The staff hesitated at this point.
Chen Chu calmly said, "Convert those merit points into contributions."
"That… you might take a loss," the staff reminded.
Although the conversion rate of merit points to contribution points is 1:3, the added value is much more precious.
"It's fine. A few hundred merit points can be earned back later."
"Alright then, please wait a moment."
Soon, several staff members pushed a cart out from the warehouse and struggled to place the materials Chen Chu exchanged at the counter.
There was no way around it; a piece of Prison Abyss Ore was as heavy as two tons.
If it weren't for these staff members having the cultivation of the third level of heaven, they wouldn't have been able to move them at all.
After putting the materials into the Xumi Bracelet, Chen Chu left the Martial High Base and rushed over to the depths of the Nine Ring Mountain Range, over a hundred kilometers away.
In an uninhabited valley, after confirming that no one was around, Chen Chu entered a dry cave and took out the Life Crystals to begin the conversion.
"You have converted high-purity Life Energy Crystals, gaining 149, 156…"
The nine level 4 and level 5 Life Crystals totaled 1085 attribute points, and when combined with the original 93 points, Chen Chu's attribute points surged to 1178.
Just as his attribute points broke through a thousand, the innate talent of the Golden Dragon with Vertical Pupils, the blazing flames of his avatar, and the Thunder talent all prompted for enhancement.
"The intermediate talent requires a thousand points to enhance?" Chen Chu's gaze landed on those talents.
Low-level talents require a hundred points to enhance once, and three times to upgrade; Chen Chu had long suspected that enhancing an intermediate talent starts from a thousand points.
As for whether it is a single thousand points that upgrades to a high rank or if it requires several enhancements, only further testing would reveal.
Of course, Chen Chu's goal this time was to improve himself comprehensively; the enhancement of talents could wait for later.
Chen Chu took out the Flame Crystal Battle Armor, a Wish Crystal, the Fusion Beast Crystal Horn, and the red ore obtained from McHus.
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary fifth-level cultivator’s battle armor would only incorporate one extraordinary material in a second forging because they couldn't refine more.
Once the extraordinary material and battle armor couldn't fully integrate, not only would the material's properties be lost, but the battle armor might even disintegrate due to conflicting powers.
This time, the Wish Crystal he planned to fuse could allow the battle armor to change size as desired to compensate for the weakness of insufficient extension after transforming.
