Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

Gut first hung up his coat, then took out a special food box from his pocket and placed it gently on the table.

As the balcony window was pushed open, Gut lay relaxed on the bed, bathing in the cool night breeze of the holy city, and browsed the system prompts at dusk.

With the successful completion of the magician assessment at the [Association Headquarters], the corresponding rewards for the second half of the main mission have also been settled.

Currently, the accumulated rewards in [System Space] are: 1 random item from another world, 1 talent entry upgrade opportunity, 2 extraction opportunities, and 1 cutting opportunity.

"I've personally experienced extracting and copying entries, but I haven't fully understood the upgrade opportunities and cutting opportunities."

Out of curiosity, Gu Te opened these two items and learned about them in detail.

[Talent Item Upgrade Opportunity (1 time/only valid for the host)]

[Effect: Specifies an activated and upgradeable talent entry, raising its grade by one, and improving the corresponding entry's effect (only effective for gold grades and below, excluding gold grades)]

[Talent item cutting opportunity (1 time)]

[Effect: Can cut the talent entry of any target, including the host. After cutting, the target will permanently lose the talent entry (only effective for gold-red grade and below). However, after cutting, only the host can choose whether to activate it.]

"That's it."

Looking at the system introduction, Gut began to think seriously.

Due to limitations, the best use of upgrade opportunities is with purple-grade talents, which can be upgraded to gold.

As for cutting opportunities

Compared with the other three items, this operating space is undoubtedly the largest.

Externally, it can achieve an effect similar to [Copy], strengthening itself while also achieving a weakening effect.

If you encounter an enemy in the future, you can consider cutting the enemy's main combat talent entry to greatly weaken the opponent's combat power.

It also has wonderful uses internally and for oneself.

In the future, it is inevitable that some gray entries with negative effects will appear, such as [alcoholism] on Haita and [old injuries] on Xinmeier.

At that time, you can use the cutting opportunity of the talent entry to directly cut out this negative entry.

It’s a pity that according to the restrictions, the cut entries can only be used by yourself and cannot be used by others.

Otherwise, you can try some more exciting moves.

For example, find a [Demon General], cut off the talent entry that increases physical strength on him, and then give it to a magician like the teacher.

Or, when facing a young and middle-aged enemy, you can cut out the talent entries related to aging from a dying old man, then copy them and smash them directly into his face, making him instantly old and weak.

Gut thought about it and decided to save the opportunity to cut entries and use it later when needed.

As for the opportunity to upgrade the entry

Logically speaking, it is better to use this kind of prop that can directly improve your strength as soon as possible.

But when Gut opened his own entry panel and took a look, he found that it was currently at the purple level, and it seemed that the only item he had was [Celiai's Beloved Disciple].

Moreover, this is a special entry. Its improvement is limited by the relationship between you and your teacher, and it cannot be improved through props.

But if it is used on a blue-grade entry, Gut would feel a little unwilling.

By the way, there are still two chances to draw entries.

Use them first. If you can get a good one, you won’t have to worry about it anymore.

Thinking of this, Gut immediately clicked to use it.

【Ding! 】

[Talent entry extraction opportunities x2 have been used. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent entries: Strong Intelligence (Blue), Captain's Patience (Blue)]

【Strong Intelligence (Blue)】

[Term Description: When you devote yourself wholeheartedly to a certain magical research, your IQ will increase.]

[Effect of this entry: When concentrating on studying magic, IQ increases slightly]

"Although the grade is blue, this talent entry is quite good. It's a panacea."

"If you add [Celiai's Beloved Disciple] and conduct magic research beside the teacher, with these two blessings, I'm afraid it will achieve a terrifying effect."

[Captain's Patience (Blue)]

[Term Description: Take off or restrain, that is the question, but this world will always reward those who are determined and patient]

[Effect: After activation, whenever the host does not take off for more than three days, they will receive a special bonus - Captain's Redemption]

[Captain's Redemption; Vitality slightly increased, body recovery slightly improved, resistance to mind control moderately increased (Note: When the caster is female or the mind control is seductive, resistance may be weakened to varying degrees)]

Gut:.

"It's so outrageous, it has a beauty that defies scrutiny."

After a long silence, Gut activated these two talent items one by one.

Although in terms of effect alone, they are all pretty good.

One is a panacea, and the other is also a talent item.

It’s a pity that neither of the two items is of purple grade, so the effect of the item upgrade cannot be maximized.

However, just when Gut was about to close the system interface and enjoy his midnight snack with regret, a miracle suddenly happened.

As several pleasant system prompt sounds rang out in succession, Gut put the food box in his hand back.

【Ding! 】

[Talent Entries: Paranoid (Blue) and Strong Intelligence (Blue) have complementary effects and will be merged into a new talent entry]

Merger Completed

[Entry Name: Magic Seeker (Purple)]

[Term Description: You don't believe there's an upper limit to the power of magic. Through your inherent paranoia, powerful wisdom, and the experience gained from long hours of study, you've successfully broken through the so-called upper limit of magic strength held by ordinary magicians, and your understanding of magic will approach that of the demons.]

[Effect: 1. Specify any magic spell. During the learning process, the magical talent will be greatly increased. 2. When the host cultivates a magic spell to the extreme, there is a chance to break the original shackles and raise the upper limit of the magic effect to the level of the demon clan.]

"Merged, right? It's just in time."

Gut looked excited. After confirming that this purple-grade talent was indeed worth upgrading, he chose to upgrade it without hesitation.

【Ding! 】

[Talent Item Upgrade Opportunity x1 has been used. The original Talent Item Magic Seeker (Purple) has been upgraded to Magic Transcender (Gold)]

【Magic Transcendence (Gold)】

[Term Description: You don't believe there's an upper limit to the power of magic; yet in your hands, whether it's human magic or the so-called curses of the demons, their brilliance seems to truly have no upper limit.]

[Entry Effect: 1. Specify any spell/curse. While learning, your magical talent will increase dramatically. 2. When the host cultivates a spell to its ultimate perfection, there's a chance they'll break free from its limitations, raising the upper limit of the magic's effects to a level even demons can't comprehend. (Once the host has mastered enough transcendent spells, this talent entry will change again.)]

"Another talent entry that raises the upper limit, and the name of the entry also has the word 'transcendent' in it."

Gut stared at the system's description of the entry, thoughtfully.

Since he had already obtained a golden entry called [Body Transcendence], when he saw this [Magic Transcendence] of the same golden grade, Gut couldn't help but have some associations.

In particular, there is a precedent for the system to merge related entries.

But unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Gut still didn't hear the system prompt sound again.

Could it be that to upgrade the item level further, simply combining the two gold items [Physical Transcendence] and [Magic Transcendence] isn't enough? It requires a third or even more gold-level [XX Transcendence] items to be combined?

Besides the body and magic, what else can be surpassed?

Golden Spirit?

Gut shook his head and threw away some strange memories in his mind.

No matter how you think about it, a hymn to human qualities like the golden spirit would never appear on a person like me, an old pervert with grooves who only knows how to go crazy in front of the teacher.

Perhaps there is another possibility for merger and improvement.

Gutt noticed that both entries were marked with brackets at the end, indicating that they could change again after reaching a certain standard.

Combining his currently known talent item level rankings, red-gold and red-gold, Gut came up with another guess that was different from the previous one.

That is the reason why [Body Transcendence (Gold)] and [Magic Transcendence (Gold)] cannot be merged yet, because they have not yet reached the standards for merger.

Maybe we have to wait until both entries change and become gold-red entries before we can merge them?

Two golden and red talent entries are merged into one red-grade talent entry?

Thinking of this, Gut couldn't help but shook his head and laughed at himself. He was thinking too much.

Perhaps, [Body Transcendence] and [Magic Transcendence] only have the same name, but have no actual connection, and cannot be merged at all.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for comprehending the path to godhood on his own. The special main quest, the path to godhood, is now open ahead of schedule!]

Gut: ???

"No, buddy? This is also possible?!"

[Special Main Quest: Path to Godhood (Phase 1)]

[Task Requirements: Through your own efforts, enhance any one of your golden talent items to a golden-red level]

[Mission Rewards: System Faith Module, God-Becoming Method, 1 Talent Item Upgrade Opportunity, 1 Cut Opportunity, 1 Copy Opportunity, 3 Extract Opportunities]

"This"

Looking at the faith module and deification method in the system rewards, Gut finally confirmed that this was for real.

I never thought that just a random guess would lead to me making a big profit.

Recalling the answer, it seemed that the [Red Grade] talent entry was truly a symbol unique to gods. The only time he had seen a red grade entry was when he spied on the [Goddess] in the sanctuary.

Apart from him, none of the outstanding people in the world, including teacher Celia, brave Xinmeier and bishop Haita, have any talent entries that can exceed the [Golden Red] level.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Gut took a few deep breaths of the cool air brought by the night breeze outside the window, and his excited mood finally calmed down.

"Becoming a god" means that an individual's power reaches its peak in the world, and is usually accompanied by infinite lifespan. It has a fatal attraction in any world.

But after calming down, Gut realized that he had only found the right path, and even taking the first step was still a long way to go.

So after a brief moment of pride, Gut adjusted his mentality back to normal.

Open the system interface and use up all the remaining rewards in the space tonight.
