Chapter 152 New Function (Second Update)

  Too expensive!

  With Lin Xiao's current wealth, he can only refine a few dozen middle-grade spirit pills and not even one high-grade spirit pill.

  "It's expensive here!" Xiner said discontentedly as soon as she heard Lin Xiao's complaint. "Go ask around, the price of finding an alchemist to refine pills is several hundred times more expensive than this! And the effect of their refined pills can't compare to the perfection of system-refined pills!"

  "Where am I supposed to find an alchemist to ask about it?" Lin Xiao made a bitter face, "No matter what, one medium-grade spiritual dan costs me 1,000 2nd-level Small Thousand Boundary Points, this is too expensive."

  "One piece!" Xīn'ér suddenly burst out laughing.

  "What's wrong?" Lin Xiao asked with a puzzled expression.

  "Of course not," Xīn'ér stopped laughing and said, "Who told you it's just one? I'm talking about a whole furnace. Refining a furnace requires 1,200 small Qi boundaries. Generally, when a Dan-refining master refines a furnace, they can refine 3 to 8 Dan medicines. But with the system's refining method, one furnace can refine as many as 24 Dan medicines. Isn't that impressive?"

  "24 pieces?" Lin Xiao hastily calculated an account in his heart.

  1,000 2nd-level Small Thousand Boundary Points can get 24 mid-grade Spirit Pills, which means one pill requires almost 42 points of 2nd-level Small Thousand Boundary Points. Calculating it this way, it's actually not expensive.

  In fact, if Lin Xiao had been told from the start that a medium-grade Spirit Dan required 42.2 small thousand boundary points, he would probably still have thought it was expensive. But with the previous comparison, he suddenly felt it was much cheaper.

  "Exactly! It's not expensive at all, and the refined elixir made by the system is absolutely top-notch among mid-grade spiritual elixirs, enough to rival ordinary high-grade spiritual elixirs. You're still complaining about the price?"

  Lin Xiao smiled slyly and didn't refute Xiang Er's words.

  Seeing Lin Xiao like this, Xiang Er didn't bother scolding him anymore and directly introduced other medicinal pills.

  "Although you don't need elixirs higher than Brilliant Elixir for now, I'll introduce two more to you, which can also serve as a basic knowledge primer."

  Lin Xiao nodded slightly, with a serious expression.

  This made Xiang Er very happy. If Lin Xiao had put on an air of being completely carefree and not caring, she would have been angry.

  "A type of elixir one level higher than the Ling Dan is called the Jin Dan. Unlike the Ling Dan, the Jin Dan is divided into nine levels, with the ninth transformation being the highest. Some top-grade ninth-transformation Jin Dans can even bring people back from the dead, turning white bones into flesh and blood. Even if you've taken your last breath, as long as your soul hasn't dispersed, it can still save you. Of course, such a top-grade ninth-transformation Jin Dan is not something that ordinary people can see, let alone possess."

  When Lin Xiao heard Xiner's introduction to the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, he couldn't help but feel a burning passion in his heart.

  If I could have a few more Nine-Turn Golden Elixirs, wouldn't that mean having a few more lives?

  "The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is a general term for this type of elixir, and its effects vary depending on the different original materials used. Some replenish one's vitality, some repair the physical body, and some even repair the soul. There are all sorts of effects, but in the Multiverse System, no matter what function it has, the price is always the same."

  "One-turn Golden Elixir unified price is 10 points, first-level Thousand Boundary Power. Two-turn Golden Elixir unified price is 1000 points, first-level Thousand Boundary Power. Three-turn Golden Elixir unified price is 10 points, second-level Thousand Boundary Power. Four-turn Golden Elixir unified price is 1000 points, second-level Thousand Boundary Power. Five-turn Golden Elixir is 10 points, third-level Thousand Boundary Power. Six-turn is 1000 points, third-level Thousand Boundary Power. When it comes to the seventh-turn Golden Elixir, you'll need to pay with Great Thousand Boundary Power. You don't need to know about these for now, I'll just tell you this much."

  Listening to Xīnér's continuous output of numbers, Lín Xiǎo felt that his future would probably be spent desperately busy for the sake of boundary power. One Golden Elixir required tens of thousands of boundary power, and the exchange rate between 3rd-level small boundary power and 1st-level medium boundary power was not 1:100, but a terrifying 1:10,000. 10,000 points of 3rd-level small boundary power could only be exchanged for 1 point of 1st-level medium boundary power. With Lín Xiǎo's current wealth, let alone refining one Golden Elixir, he couldn't even exchange for 1 point of medium boundary power.

  "The burden is heavy and the road is long!" Lin Xiao murmured with a sigh.

  "As for the Golden Elixir, it's the legendary Panacea. The Panacea is divided into nine grades, with the first grade being the lowest and the ninth grade being the highest. As for the price, I'd rather not say, lest you lose heart."

  It seems that she realized that she had somewhat hurt Lin Xiao, and Xiang Er also stopped introducing the price of the elixir's refining. Anyway, Lin Xiao can't even refine high-grade spiritual elixirs now, let alone elixirs.

  "As for the elixir, that's all I'll say for now. Don't look at the expensive price, when you can enter those vast worlds one day, you'll know how cheap the system is."

  "What's with this 'Vast Expanse of the Universe'?" Lin Xiao shook his head, laughing and crying at the same time. He hadn't even entered the Middle Thousand Worlds yet, so talking about the Vast Expanse of the Universe was a bit too early.

  "The first function is like this, you should be clear about it now?" Xiang'er asked.

  "Ah, completely clear now." Lin Xiao nodded and said: "It's just that I suddenly found out that I'm really very poor."

  "Hehe, then let's work hard!" Xinger smiled and continued: "Next, I'll introduce you to the second feature. Regarding the main storyline, it's not necessary for me to say much. You just need to know that every time you enter a new world, you will receive a main storyline task. Whether or not to accept it is up to you. The rewards for completing the main storyline tasks are usually an upgrade in one of your skills or all of your skills, as well as some precious medicinal materials that can be used to refine pills or some magical tools. Apart from this, the main storyline itself will not reward any skills."

  Lin Xiao nodded and took note of what Xiang'er had said.

  "The third function is a reward given by the system to 2nd-level permission hosts. However, if you perform poorly in a world, such as being forced to return soon after entering, the reward will likely be very bad and may only be some currency with different denominations. On the other hand, if you perform well, the reward you receive will also be good. The only thing to note is that the rewards in the ten treasure chests after returning will definitely be items that exist within the world you experienced, and things that do not exist in this world will not appear."

  "For example, this time you experienced the X War Police world, your performance was very good. After you return, the reward of ten treasure boxes should contain some good things, such as directly upgrading your skill level or upgrading the quality of the skills you have learned."

  "The rank and level are different. For example, the Splitting Technique you're learning now is a relatively low-level technique. Even if you reach level 3, it can only split into ten clones with strength equivalent to three times that of an ordinary human, which is basically useless to you. If its rank were to increase by one grade, it would be completely different."

  "If I were to divide the skill of duplication into ten levels, then the duplication technique you're currently learning is basically the worst one in the second level. Once it's upgraded by a level, it'll become the worst one in the third level, with an effect that far surpasses upgrading by one or several levels."

  Lin Xiao listened attentively, nodding from time to time. After Xiang'er finished speaking, he couldn't help but look forward to the reward after his return, and wondered what he would win.

  "If only all ten treasure boxes were mine." Lin Xiao couldn't help but think with some greed.

  I hate this kind of choice, what if I choose a bad one and the other nine treasure chests open to reveal even more generous prizes inside, how regretful would that be!

  But now it's still early for Lin Xiao to return, he has only been in this world for a little over a year, and there are still more than three years left before the five-year limit.

  "The second and third functions don't need much introduction, but the fourth function needs to be introduced properly, otherwise I think you might consider giving up using it for now, right?"

  Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded honestly and without hesitation.

  "It's too random and dangerous, if I were to draw a relatively safe 1st-tier world, that would be fine, but what if I accidentally drew a highly dangerous 3rd-tier world? I'd be done for!" Lin Xiao said.

  "Wrong, utterly wrong!" Xīn'ér retorted to Lín Xiāo's words without mercy. "With your current cultivation level, it's fundamentally impossible for you to draw a 3rd-level Thousand Worlds. Although the probability is random, the system will also select worlds for you to adventure in based on your cultivation level. You are the system's chosen host; the system won't give you a dead-end path."

  "Really!" Lin Xiao suddenly said, "In that case, it's worth a try, but I'm entering the Zhongqian world now. Even if it's just a 1st-level Zhongqian world, isn't it a bit too early?"

  When she heard this, Xiang'er thought for a moment and also nodded her head. "It's still a bit early now, but when your cultivation reaches the 5th rank of Yuan Wu Zhe, it'll be about right. At that time, as long as you're careful, you basically won't have too much danger in the 1st level of the Thousand Worlds. As for the 2nd level of the Thousand Worlds, you might encounter some dangers, but isn't there still a chance to revive once? When the time comes, make good use of it, and as long as you're not too greedy, nothing should happen."

  "This function is mainly to cultivate your sense of adventure. From the time you obtained the Multiverse System until now, you have basically not encountered any life-or-death crises. Don't try to argue, that one time you were ambushed in the GTA5 world doesn't count as a life-or-death danger, after all, you could have left at any time if you wanted to, so it doesn't count."

  Lin Xiao opened his mouth, but in the end he closed it again with a bitter smile.

  "The adventure function provides a one-month time limit, during which you cannot be forced to return. You must wait until the end of the month before the system will automatically bring you back to the system space. Only under such circumstances can you experience some life-or-death difficulties. However, for your safety, the system still gives you one chance to revive and start over."

  Since things have been said to this extent, what else can Lin Xiao say?

  But to be honest, Lin Xiao felt a sense of excitement and passion when listening to Xiang Er's introduction, as if that wasn't such a bad thing after all.
