Chapter 443 Cicada Awakening

"Yes, I want all of these."

In the corner of the tea shop, Xu Yue's tone was calm, but it sounded particularly pleasant to the ears of the black businessman opposite. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a wealthy forging master, and he is decisive in his dealings.

Even for him, the profit that the three dark purple high-quality props could bring after all being sold is by no means a small amount. Moreover, at this level, pure paradise currency trading is no longer the first choice for black merchants. Buying and selling items, and then buying and selling them, is the best way for him to always be able to find rare items and make a lot of money.

"Since Master Xinhuo is satisfied, let's talk about the price. Hellfire and Cicada Jue exchange for three pieces of finished soul-melting equipment of dark purple quality. As for the Creation White Lotus, it is considered a gift, and it is only exchanged for a reservation service for soul-melting forging. I’ll prepare the materials and souls myself, what do you think?”

"Not very good."

Scanning the three props lined up on the round table one after another, Xu Yue shook his head.

To be honest, although the pricing of the black merchants is slightly overpriced, it is definitely not a big deal. Although the dark purple quality soul-melting equipment has the possibility of being upgraded to light gold equipment, the consumption of various resources required in the process is also high. It can only be described as an exaggeration.

At least for Xu Yue, the value of these three props is far greater than the soul-melting equipment that can be mass-produced in a time-consuming manner. However, since it is a transaction, haggling and calculation are naturally inevitable.

If nothing unexpected happens, his subsequent transactions with black merchants will not be limited to this one time, so he cannot give in too much.

First looking at the crystal skull on the round table, Xu Yue lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a trace of disgust visible to the naked eye between his eyebrows.

"Without the bloodline of the Ghost Rider, the fire of hell is just a double-edged sword that hurts others and ourselves, and it's sin? Oh, except for those professional healers who are trained by large forces, who can survive in the paradise is not covered with sin? Bloody? Who is not full of sin?"

"With such harsh control conditions, this thing must have been hoarded by the previous owner for a long time."

"As for Cicada Jue, the effect is good, but there are very few contractors who can reach the master-level technique at the low level, and with the well-known economic situation of the technique department, there are even fewer who can afford a satisfactory price."

"So...three props, in exchange for a finished soul-melting equipment of dark purple quality, and a soul-melting forging service for any equipment."

After the words fell, the black businessman on the other side who had never spoken to refute quietly replied:

"Master Xinhuo, you know this is impossible, at least two pieces of finished soul-melting equipment, and a second soul-melting forging service, this is the bottom line..."

The bottom line has not yet been finished. After seeing the introduction of the equipment displayed by Xu Yue, the black merchant immediately changed the subject.

[Dragon Scale Heavy Armor +12]

Origin: Dragon Valley

slightly………

……………

"Well, if it's this, it's not non-negotiable..."

Obviously, as an excellent businessman, the bottom line of the black businessman is quite flexible.

Looking at the various introductions of the Dragon Scale Heavy Armor, Hei Shang's sitting upper body could not help but lean forward slightly. +12 purple armor with full rating, rare dragon transformation effect, 3 special enchantments, and one dark purple and one Two top stones in light gold.

The current value of this heavy armor is no less than that of ordinary light golden equipment. If it is forged by soul fusion, the overall value will probably double again, at least compared to the three items in his hand. big.

Without any hesitation, the black merchant slowly pushed the props on the round table towards Xu Yue.

"Deal, the soul-melted dragon scale heavy armor + any soul-melted forging service in exchange for these three items!"

"By the way, I shouldn't need to provide additional souls for the heavy armor."

"I will handle the weapon soul on my own, but..."

Glancing at the props placed in front of him, Xu Yuewan made no intention of raising his hand to pocket them, but continued:

"These are not enough."

After a moment of silence, the black merchant did not try to bargain, but silently took out another exquisite card that exuded a deep purple light from the space.

【World road sign】

Quality: purple

Type: Consumables

Effect: After use, the next mission can be changed to a world that is more in line with the user's development system.

Tip: Except for employees, this permission can only be used once per level.

Rating: 150

Introduction: Go and find it, there is a treasure that is most suitable for you buried deep in this world.

…………

"Dragon scale heavy armor + two reservation services for soul-melting forging."

As the world road sign appeared, Xu Yue's eyes brightened slightly, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his indifferent mouth.

"Deal, the Dragon Scale Heavy Armor will be completed in three days. Then you can go directly to the store to collect it. As for the soul-melting forging, you can always make a reservation with Ah Fu."

"I'll take these four things away now, no problem."

Looking at each other, the black merchant shrugged and nodded repeatedly.

"Of course, no problem, you can do whatever you want!"

………………

Ten minutes later, the skill upgrade hall will be opened.

After completing the transaction with the black merchant, Xu Yue immediately went straight to the skill upgrade hall. In addition to the evil spirit control he learned from the spiritual code, the passive skill Cicada Jue he had just acquired also needed to be strengthened.

When he was promoted to the second level, the green-quality beast intuition could no longer keep up with his combat rhythm, so now he was in urgent need of another higher-quality perception passive.

In the increasingly fierce rhythm of close combat, the role of vision and hearing is often greatly reduced, and what is more worthy of reliance is basically one's own powerful fighting instinct, or special early warning senses such as 'cicada sense'. In terms of technique system, even if it is just a fraction faster, the gap in between is a chasm between life and death.

"Learn cicada sleep!"

In the skill upgrade warehouse, following Xu Yue's movements, the ancient book in his hand quietly shattered, turning into countless illusory words and images that crazily poured into his mind.

The spreading darkness quickly obscured all vision. When light appeared in front of Xu Yue's eyes again, what he saw was a vast sea of ​​white clouds.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, a tall figure wearing a purple Tang suit, Yuan Tingyue, was standing. As he was fisting and walking, misty clouds began to be attracted by the opponent's movements. They flowed and entangled at will with the swing of force, and finally formed a A seemingly endless vast Tai Chi cloud map.

For a moment, the edge of the cloud and mist Tai Chi, which was hard to see, seemed to occupy the entire world, but when Xu Yue looked intently, he could still see the tall figure calmly practicing boxing skills above the sea of ​​clouds.

I don't know how much time passed, but the boxing figure suddenly stopped moving, raised his head slightly, and a pair of eyes that were so indifferent that no emotion could be seen suddenly came into his eyes. When their eyes met, Xu Yue suddenly saw Risheng. The moon sets, the cold comes and the heat comes...

"You can predict something without seeing or hearing it. This is sincerity. The cicada will wake up before the autumn wind moves."

[The hunter has learned the ‘Cicada Awakening’ skill]

[Please select the skills that need to be upgraded next]

……………

In the slightly cramped skill upgrade warehouse, Xu Yue's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened. Listening to the familiar sound of the paradise prompt in his ears, the confusion in his eyes instantly disappeared without a trace.

"See the heaven and the earth to understand oneself, and be sincere to predict..."

"The martial arts... is a bit more mysterious than I expected."

Recalling the wonderful feeling he had just experienced in the skill illusion, Xu Yue's eyes flickered. The skill learning mechanism of Samsara Paradise allows the contractor to experience the essence and source of the skill immersively, so as to directly transfer it as quickly as possible. master.

The essence of Cicada's skill is the special realm that is created after the skill reaches a certain height. In some ways, it is similar to the 'Heaven and Earth Retreat' ability he realized when his Halberd Technique reached the master level. .

Therefore, in the brief experience of the illusion just now, Xu Yue clearly felt another path and height of skills. Although there was no obvious improvement in combat power for the time being, it would be of great benefit to his future growth in skills. Benefit, even the vibration perception ability that I had previously understood on my own has also gained considerable benefits.

From this point of view alone, Cicada feels that the value far exceeds the price Xu Yue paid and is worthy of his continued improvement.

"Paradise, enhance cicada sleep!"

[To upgrade Cicada LV1 (passive skill), you need to pay 5000 paradise coins, yes/no to pay. 】

The high price of 5,000 points came into view, but Xu Yue remained calm. You must know that when he upgraded the 'Demon Seed Planting' before, the first-level fee was as high as an even more exaggerated 8,000 points of paradise coins.

With the continuous income support from the furnace and forging shop, this consumption is still within his tolerance, so... he directly upgrades to ten levels in a row.

[Cicada Jue (passive skill) has been upgraded to LV.2]

…………

[Cicada Jue (passive skill) has been upgraded to LV.10]

After being promoted to LV.10, in addition to the most basic perception enhancement, Cicada Jue also has an explosive skill called 'Shocking Cicada', which can greatly enhance nerve reflexes in critical moments. For melee combat, the reaction speed is It is the boundary between life and death.

Simple and crude, but quite powerful.

"Keep improving!"

[Cicada Jue (passive skill) has been upgraded to LV.11]

…………

[Cicada Jue (passive skill) has been upgraded to LV.20]

[Your skill (Cicada Jue) has been upgraded to Lv.20. When this skill is upgraded to Lv.20, you will receive additional rewards. Please choose one of the following options. 】

1. Nerve reflex +4%

2. ‘Shocking Cicada’’s backlash against itself is reduced by 50%

3. The trigger conditions of ‘Shocking Cicada’ have been appropriately reduced

………

The three additional options were lined up in front of Xu Yue. Without too much thought, he directly selected the first additional reward without hesitation.

Again, nerve reflex speed occupies an absolute priority in melee attacks. No matter how powerful the attack is, it can only be said to be truly effective damage when it accurately hits the enemy. Otherwise, it is just some damage. Just fancy and useless work.

Compared to the explosive technique of 'Shocking Cicada', which can only be used at critical moments, he prefers to continuously improve his constant strength under normal conditions.

"continue!"

[Since Cicada Jue (passive skill) has been upgraded to LV.20, the upgrade fee has been increased to 10,000 paradise coins. 】

[Tip: The balance of Hunter Paradise coins is insufficient and the upgrade failed! 】

"Well……"

The cold paradise prompt directly interrupted his pleasant journey of skill upgrading. Looking at the number of paradise coins in the balance that was less than 3,000 points, Xu Yue couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

After leaving the X-Men world, through world rewards and box-opening profits, he still had more than 100,000 Paradise Coins left in his hand, but now, in just a moment, very little was spent. .

From this, we can see how inexpensive Paradise Coins are. For regular contractors, if they only rely on the basic rewards, or if they only intend to upgrade a high-quality skill to the full level, they need to carefully calculate and accumulate several derivative worlds, so that they can barely gather the required resources.

Of course, this part of the contractors does not include Xu Yue. When faced with insufficient balance, he only needs to call for off-site assistance. After all, behind him, there is a furnace forging shop that constantly consumes a large amount of resources.

Soon, the huge sum of 200,000 Paradise Coins was sent directly by Afu, and Xu Yue, whose balance was refilled, also started the process of upgrading Chan Jue again.

[Cicada Jue (passive skill) has been upgraded to LV.21]

…………

[Cicada Jue (passive skill) has been upgraded to LV.30]

[Your skill (Cicada Jue) has been upgraded to the full level. When this skill is upgraded to the full level, you can get additional rewards. Please choose one of the following options. 】

1. Every other week, the hunter can take the initiative to make a prophetic warning and "see" the biggest source of crisis in the next three days in advance.

2. Blessings and disasters are interdependent, and disasters are interdependent. After surviving a fatal crisis, the hunter can then foresee a good fortune that is beneficial to himself. (This effect can only be activated once in each world. The greater the crisis, the stronger the foreseeable fortune!)

3. In the meditative state, the hunter can have a more detailed prediction of the passively perceived source of the crisis. (This effect will be activated one week after each activation)

………

After reaching the maximum level, the additional rewards of the skills have become significantly stronger and have their own characteristics.

Option 1 enhances the autonomy of Chanjue's foresight, option 2 is more conducive to his resource plundering, and option 3 makes Chan feel that the foresight effect has become more in-depth.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yue finally chose the third additional reward. Any crisis that can be sensed by Chan Jue is basically a threat to his life, so compared with the first two, more detailed and in-depth intelligence is obviously more important to him.

With this ability, as long as Xu Yue is not seeking death, most ambushes and encirclements will be useless to him, and even traps and dangerous places will be detected by him in advance, and the safety factor can be said to be rising sharply.

So far, after spending 200,000 Paradise Coins, Chan Jue has finally been upgraded to the maximum level by him.

[Cicada Jue: LV.MAX (Passive) has reached the maximum level]

Effect 1: Super sense, the realm of transformation, a feather cannot be added, flies and insects cannot fall, greatly improve the skin's extreme perception of various crises in the outside world, appropriately strengthen the control of one's own body, and can automatically offset and resolve 33% of the enemy's physical attack force.

Tip: Permanent nerve reflex speed +10%

Effect 2: Shocking cicada, when encountering a fatal crisis, it will enter the ‘Shocking cicada’ state, the nerve reflex speed will rise to the current physical limit, and the super-sensory offset ability will double.

Tip: The shocking cicada effect can last up to 3 seconds, with a cooling time of 8 to 24 hours. The longer it lasts, the more severe the strong backlash after the end.

Effect 3: Prophet, invisible and inaudible, can be prophetic, the hunter perceives the fusion of heaven and earth, can identify the malice against itself, and has an 80% chance of predicting the crisis that will cause fatal damage to itself 6 hours in advance.

Tip: In the meditation state, the hunter can have a more detailed prediction of the source of the crisis perceived passively. (This effect will be activated for a week each time.)

……………

Scanning every effect of the cicada perception skill carefully, Xu Yue couldn't help but show satisfaction. It was a great value for money to exchange for this special passive with almost full life-saving function with only hundreds of thousands of Paradise coins.

However, everything is a blessing and a curse. Although Chanjue's prophetic effect is powerful, you must not rely on it too much. Otherwise, once you develop the habit of avoiding danger, you may not be far from the real desperate situation that cannot be avoided.

The best way to deal with it is to foresee, understand, and then crush it head-on with an unstoppable momentum!

What can't kill him will eventually become a resource for him to go further.

As his thoughts flew, the huge amount of evil spirit in Xu Yue's body also surged, and just when it was about to overflow from his body, he was forced to suppress it after he came to his senses.

Raising his hand to close the Chanjue skill introduction in front of him, he continued:

"Paradise, improve evil spirit control."

[To improve 'Evil Spirit Control LV.8 (Passive)', you need to pay 30,000 Paradise Coins, yes/no to pay. 】

"30,000?!"
