Chapter 278: Beginning to Harvest Faith

"Hot Topics of Each Issue" was forcibly cut off, and Wu Chang left the Crimson Courtyard directly. He did not stay in Yanjing for too long, and immediately took a flight back to Wanghai City.

He doesn't care about any future changes to the Administration and doesn't intend to interfere.

He had delivered the intelligence as soon as possible, and the Order Faction in the Wilderness Administration was also in a strong position. If they could not control the situation, it could only be said that the Order Faction was a hopeless case.

It is far better to take advantage of this time to improve yourself than to be overly involved in it and act as a babysitter for them.

Ultimately, your destiny is in your own hands.

When my true self was returning on the flight, Wu Chang was in Wanghai City, preparing for the next copy.

The Jinxiu Chamber of Commerce was very considerate. When they saw the small words on the "Hot Topics of Each Issue", they immediately gave him 100,000 corrupt silver coins.

Wu Chang really likes the straightforwardness of Jinxiu Chamber of Commerce, but he is also curious about who the boss behind the chamber of commerce is and what they want to do.

The Jinxiu Chamber of Commerce is a high-end force. Before it was promoted to the outside world through him, it had always been unknown and only a small number of players who specialized in bounty missions knew about it.

Even in the Administration, based on the intelligence Wu Chang has access to at this stage, there is very little mention of this force, not to mention the player forums.

No one has ever known who the owner of Jinxiu Chamber of Commerce is, who its members are, or how big it is.

People only know that the Chamber of Commerce has the support of many wealthy people in real life, has extensive connections, and is not short of money.

A small force that is not short of money. This setting seems to be fine at first glance, but in reality it does not stand up to scrutiny.

The advertising fees that Jinxiu Chamber of Commerce has spent on Wu Chang have exceeded 200,000 rotten silver coins. How many antiques do they need to collect to make this advertising fee worthwhile?
They invested so much money in him alone. If their purpose was really to collect antiques, then wouldn't the rotten silver coins they spent on collecting the antiques be tens of millions?

Except for special items such as the Omniscient Crystal, antiques that have been authenticated by the Abyss Game are real antiques and have no value except for their appearance.

It is normal for wealthy people to spend thirty or fifty thousand rotten silver coins to get a few pieces to play with, but the market in this area is not very big.

Judging from the current situation, Jinxiu Chamber of Commerce seems to be looking for something, but is using the guise of collecting antiques.

But if this is true, the four major organizations should have noticed them long ago and investigated them.

Wu Chang looked at the real ego's player name with a thoughtful look in his eyes. The identity of this top brother of his was a bit mysterious.

However, the world copy is imminent, and both the desolate world and the rational world will usher in drastic changes. Under the turbulent situation, even the biggest fish hidden deep in the water will have to surface.

I believe that it won’t be long before he can deal with the top guy on the list.

Wu Chang looked at the 20 corrupt silver coins in his account, silently thanked his sponsor in his heart, then turned his attention to the attribute panel and chose to improve space magic.

"Name of the technique: Advanced Space Magic"

"Level of skill: C"

"Space magic can be upgraded by paying decayed silver coins or absorbing space-attribute spiritual objects. This technique can be upgraded to A-level at most."

"To upgrade the skill to B-level, 120000 decaying silver coins are required."

Unlike the fragments of thunder magic that can be increased in quantity without increasing the price through the fusion of skills, the upper limit of the original skills is A-level space magic, which is very expensive. Even with the resources he has obtained by passing the levels perfectly, it is difficult to afford it without the support of the top brother on the list.

This is the disadvantage of lone wolf players. Even if they are lucky enough to obtain powerful skills, they do not have enough resources to improve them.

"Upgrade the technique."

With the disappearance of 120,000 decayed silver coins, the advanced space magic was upgraded to master-level space magic.

The upgrade of a skill from C-level to B-level will produce a qualitative change. The upgrade at this stage will not directly increase the attributes, but will completely transform the skill into the player's own ability.

The upgrade of the Thunder Magic Fragment from C to B allowed Wu Chang to truly gain a method of practice, and the same was true for space magic.

The improvement of space magic to the master level allowed him to completely master this magic and no longer be restricted by skills when using magic.

During the advanced space magic period, he could only transfer space through long-distance teleportation. No matter whether he had a full load of ten people when using it, and no matter how far he teleported, once it was activated, he would enter a one-hour cooling period.

In short-range one-on-one combat, it can only be used as a one-time trick and cannot be used as a regular means of attack.

But now, his long-distance transmission skill has evolved into teleportation, which not only increases the maximum number of people it can carry to 20 and the maximum transmission distance to 30 kilometers, but also allows him to return the cooling time through teleportation.

For example, when he uses it himself and the single use distance does not exceed one hundred meters, the cooling time of the transmission is only fifteen seconds.

During high-intensity combat, fifteen seconds of cooling is not short, but it is enough to serve as a means of regular attack and evasion, greatly improving his mobility in combat.

The original skills in space magic have also changed. The amplification value of "Efficient Space Utilization" has become 1000%, and the "Inner World" has become more solid and has a space blocking effect. Once you are pulled into the inner world, ordinary space escape props will lose their effect.

In addition to the improvement of old skills, Master-level Space Magic also brings a new ability.

"Skill name: Space Folding."

"Skill Description: You have come into contact with the true meaning of space transformation. You can freely change the spatial position of objects by stretching and folding space. Usage range: one hundred meters; maximum folded space: ten meters; cooldown time: depends on the degree of skill use, minimum 15 seconds."

"Note: When used in the inner world, space folding is amplified by efficient space utilization."

With his understanding of master-level space magic, Wu Chang quickly figured out how to use space folding.

Space folding is an advanced ability of teleportation, which has both offensive and defensive capabilities. When used in a small range, it can not only achieve a short-distance teleportation effect, but the effect can also be effective on enemy targets and attacks launched by the unit itself.

If used properly, it can make your attacks unpredictable and hard to defend against.

Only by mastering the folding of space can one be said to have a direct impact on space, rather than simply utilizing the rules of space.

Space magic is good, but it is too expensive.

To upgrade to the next level "Grandmaster Space Magic", 20 Corrupted Silver Coins are required.

Money is something that you will never have enough of, whether in or outside of the Abyss game.

In fact, if Wu Chang wanted to, he could raise a large amount of corrupt silver coins in a short period of time by just selling two pieces of equipment.

He had learned about items of various levels through the display pages of the trading house and the player forums.

The props in his hands were all obtained from difficult copies that were on the verge of getting out of control. The abyss erosion accumulated in the copy was greater, and the props effects far exceeded the average level of props of the same level.

Not to mention the growth equipment with huge potential, A-level equipment such as the Golden Throne and False Miracle, as long as he sent them to the auction house, it would not be difficult to sell them for hundreds of thousands or even millions of corrupt silver coins.

If he put growth items or A-level consumables like the Wu Qu Xingjun wood carving up for sale, they could be easily exchanged for millions of corrupt silver coins.

But the effects of the props in his hand are different. You can earn more Corrupted Silver Coins if you lose them, but if these props are lost, they are really gone.

Even for him, it would be difficult to produce props with similar effects in a short period of time.

Instead of seeking temporary gains and selling items with unique effects, it is better to wait for two or three more copies and gradually accumulate wealth.

After upgrading the skills, the next step is to allocate free attribute points.

After the Anthem Company copy, his level increased by four levels to level 28.

There are two ways to allocate attribute points. One is to add them all to the inspiration attribute and stack the inspiration to 200 as quickly as possible to meet the activation conditions of the "Virtual Reality Interactor".

But the risk of adding points in this way is that even if he reaches the maximum level and adds all free attribute points to inspiration, he still cannot get 200 points. He must gamble that he can find enough Bloody Testaments in the next dungeon.

Not only do you need a lot, you also need it quickly. Otherwise, even if you get enough, you won't have time to complete the job change before the world dungeon.

The second approach is to proceed step by step and allocate attribute points to weaknesses.

How much water a barrel can hold depends on its short board, not its long board.

His strengths are already long enough, but many of his attributes are not impressive among full-level players, and are even at a disadvantage, which will drag down the overall performance.

After thinking for a while, he finally chose the second option.

The Knight of Dispute is sufficient for use in the Wasteland, and the second job change is not imminent. Moreover, he has not deliberately added points along the way, and his inspiration and willpower have accumulated to the current values. Adding more points now will always feel like a waste of attributes.

Finally, he converted 20 free attribute points into 1 life point, 7 strength points, 7 agility points and 5 endurance points.

Wu Chang's final attribute panel is:

Player nickname: Doesn't eat beef.

Player Level: 28 (9810/14000)

Talents: salvation, evil spirit, transformation into ocean clan, guide of miracles, turning the void into reality.

After adding points, Wu Chang's minimum agility and endurance exceeded 50. When he entered the dungeon and cooperated with the Master of Breaking the Deadlock, his attributes were no weaker than the second attributes of other full-level players.

When his short board is longer than other players' long boards, his bucket number is developed.

Wu Chang turned his attention from the attribute panel back to reality, pushed the door to leave the bedroom in the other world, and looked at Irene who was sitting on the sofa watching a movie.

Ever since she gained complete human emotions, Irene has become obsessed with all kinds of film and television works and cannot extricate herself from them.

If it weren't for her innate virtues requiring her to maintain self-discipline, she would probably become a stay-at-home goddess lying on the sofa and watching TV series if no one was watching her.

Wu Chang coughed lightly, attracting Irene's attention. "Miss Irene, are you interested in going out with me to relax?"

Irene smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the commercial street?"

Wu Chang shook his head and said, "That's too close. I want to take you to a place where you can move freely without worrying about being discovered by others."

Irene suddenly realized, "Is it from another dimension?"

Wu Chang snapped his fingers, "Smart."

Perhaps because she was thinking about the plane she used to be in, Irene didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

Wu Chang originally thought that Irene was homesick, but Irene glanced at the laptop in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Is there electricity in that plane?"

Wu Chang tutted in dissatisfaction and replied:
"Yes, and the place we are going to is full of brainless and sensational dramas, spare tires, car accidents, and incurable diseases. I guarantee that you will enjoy watching them all in one go and immerse yourself in the experience of what it means to be unworthy of life."

Irene blinked and asked, "When do we leave?"

Wu Chang shrugged, took out a tablet, and said, "Right now."

He opened the video folder on his tablet, found a video titled "A Letter of Appreciation from the Star Leap Survivors" and clicked on it to play.

As the video played, a system prompt appeared in front of him.

"Players are opening up the fixed passage to the deserted plane - 75236."

"Attention, the current instance is a past instance. After the player enters the instance, the time flow rate between the past instance and reality is 1440:1. Every day you stay in the instance, 100 decayed silver coins will be consumed. If the balance is insufficient, you will be forcibly teleported out of the instance."

"Do you want to enter this past instance?"

The copy that Wu Chang was going to enter was the Silent Route.

Irene looked at the tablet computer and saw Li Yubin saying affectionately that he missed Wu Chang very much. She said in a faint voice:
"I feel the vibe you're talking about."

Wu Chang pretended not to hear and said, "Enter."

With a flash of light, Wu Chang and Irene came to a colorful corridor. At the end of the corridor were two doors, and the screens above the doors each displayed a scene.

The scene on the left is the port where you first entered the dungeon, and the scene on the right is the final sea area, where Irene's kingdom on earth is located.

This time, Wu Chang entered the Silent Route copy in order to gather the power of faith required by the All-Knowing Crystal, so he chose the port as the entry point.

Pushing the door open, Wu Chang and Irene passed through a pure white light curtain and appeared at the port.

"It is detected that the player has a previous identity in this plane. The player can switch freely between the current identity and the previous identity."

"Currently available identity: Lee Jae-se."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows. The Abyss game was quite humane. It preserved the identities used by his real walker and allowed him to switch freely.

Gaomu Province is a chaebol country, and with Lee Jae-se's status, things like harvesting faith can be much easier.

Since he can transform into Li Zaishe, maybe starting from the sea would be much more appropriate than at the port.

He checked the weather forecast and found that he had arrived just in time: the coastal area of ​​Takagi Province would be cloudy and foggy today, with heavy rain in the evening.

This kind of weather is perfect for him to perform.

He brought Irene to the reef below the cliff at the port and set up an occult ritual that could amplify abilities. At the same time, with the help of the power of Irene's kingdom of God, the two worked together to build an altar.

He stood behind the altar and activated the water thunder technique among the Five Thunder Techniques.

In the Five Thunder Method, water thunder is responsible for causing rain and calling wind and rain.

The mine method is both a thunder method and a water method. It can enjoy the ability enhancement bonus of the ocean clan's transformation. Combined with the ability enhancement of the altar, the coastal areas of Gaogi Kingdom are all covered by the mine method.

As Wu Chang activated his ability, the already gloomy sky suddenly became dark and as black as ink.

A strong wind suddenly arose, causing the sea to become turbulent.

Click!

A huge thunder like a tree root lit up in the sky, as if tearing a hole in the dark clouds, causing the rain contained in the clouds to pour down, and the raindrops connected into a curtain of water.

In less than two minutes, the weather changed from slightly gloomy to as if the end of the world had come.

People in the port screamed and fled back indoors, looking at the outside world through the glass, trembling.

If this is the case for those who remain in the port, one can imagine the situation of the ships still sailing on the sea.

There will be heavy rain and strong winds and waves in the sea area near the port today. Vessels that are weak in resisting winds and waves should not force their way to the port. They should follow safe routes and go to ports farther away.

But there are always some stubborn captains who refuse to believe and think that their ships are fast enough to enter the port before the rainstorm, such as the Wallow.

But the weather at sea is like a child's face, changing at any time. It was still early before dark and the rain clouds had not yet formed, but the rainstorm came suddenly without any warning.

Looking at the strong winds and huge waves around them, the old sailors have taken out the statue of Poseidon and started to worship, hoping to calm the anger of the sea.

Captain Hong Youze kept his commanding voice calm, and the hand holding the cigarette trembled constantly, causing the ash to fall off as soon as it formed.

He had been at sea for twenty years, and this was the first time he had seen such a strange storm. The waves were like those of young people who had been eating meat, eggs and milk since childhood. They were unnaturally high. The last time he had such an exclamation was when he met a second-grade kid from the neighbor's family before going out to sea.

The baby fat on the child's face had not yet disappeared, but he was already half a head taller than him, a complete freak.

Hong Youze broke free from the fear of the height difference and turned to the even more frightening high waves in front of him.

Behind the ship, a wave over fifteen meters high was rushing towards them. The wave was moving so fast that there was no time to dodge.

Oh my god, even a large cruise ship can't withstand such waves.

The first mate's trembling voice came from the side, "Captain, what should we do now?"

Hong Youze put out the cigarette in his hand and said calmly: "Inform everyone and leave a last message to the relatives. Don't type it. It's too late."

The first mate nodded. The captain's decision was as reliable as ever. If it were any other time, he would have praised him a little, but now, he had to save time and leave a few last words.

The waves were less than a hundred meters away from the ship. As the crew members were crying and cursing and leaving their last words, the roaring waves seemed to be soothed by an invisible giant hand and quickly subsided.

"Sea, the Sea God has appeared?" said the old sailor who was worshiping the Sea God in disbelief.

"Yes, it must be the Sea God General!"

"Record the video quickly!"

"A miracle!"

The old sailor's statement was supported by everyone, and the crew members switched to video to record the process of the huge waves calming down.

When the waves had calmed down halfway, the sharp-eyed first mate stared at the screen, zoomed in with two fingers, and shouted with wide eyes: "Look! Is there a person on the waves!"

Hearing the first mate's voice, everyone looked in the direction and saw a figure standing on the top of the wave. There was a simple raft under his feet, and he seemed to be surfing on the waves.

There was a golden light flickering behind the man, and feather-like golden light could be vaguely seen. Wherever the light passed, the wind and rain stopped, and the waves calmed down.

The crew held their breath and dared not speak, for fear that once they spoke they would discover that the Wallow had already sunk to the bottom of the sea, and that what they were seeing now was just a dying hallucination.

The huge wave came in front of the Wallow and dissipated completely, as if its responsibility was to take the people on the wave to the destination.

The raft on the waves landed smoothly on the sea surface without even shaking too much. The people on the raft shouted, "Throw down a rope!"

The commanding tone was domineering, but the crew members felt that it was what the other party should do.

They threw down a rope, and the other party grabbed the rope with one hand and almost ran along the hull to board the ship.

Looking at the young man with three open doors jumping onto the deck, a crew member asked the old sailor: "Will Poseidon have a sculpture of this size?"

The old sailor shook his head.

The young man in front of him didn't look like the Sea God General, but he looked strangely familiar.

Captain Hong Youze shuddered, suddenly remembering something, and asked, "Are you President Lee Jae-se who disappeared at sea more than 20 days ago?"

Wu Chang nodded and said, "I am."

Now all the crew members on the ship remembered that the man in front of them was Li Zai Shi, who saved the Star Leap with his strong management skills and unfortunately fell into the water while saving people.

Because of his actions, he was hailed as the Great Takagi Hero by the Takagi government, and the president even attended the memorial service in person to give a speech for him.

At that time, reports about him were everywhere, and every citizen of Takagi Country knew about him.

For a person to survive alone in the ocean for more than twenty days without dying, coupled with the scene of riding the waves just now, there is only one possibility.

That is, Li Zaishe was protected by the Sea God.

thump.

The crew members knelt down instantly. The one they believed in the most was the Sea God. How could they not kowtow to him when they could see the miracle with their own eyes?

Besides, they were able to survive mostly because of the help from others.

Feeling that the power of faith was flowing in a direction that it shouldn't go, Wu Chang immediately spoke out to stop the crew members from imagining things and said:

"Don't get me wrong. The god who protected me and allowed me to survive on the sea and sail across the ocean on a raft back home was not the Sea God, but a god named Everlasting Light."
