Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Upgrade, New Simulation
------------
Author's note:- In the last chapter, there was something I forgot to mention.
------------
The reason why Lin Chen hadn't chosen the Talent of Alchemy Genius is because he estimated that the talent had reached its limit, and the reason why he successfully became a fifth-grade alchemist this fast was because of the Comprehension Enhancement talent.
------------
After reminiscing about the content of this simulation, Lin Chen started to wait for the reward.
In this simulation, there wasn't much useful information he got or any better talent at the start of the simulation. He had already decided what to choose in this reward session.
[Ding, reward settlement completed. The host can choose three of the following rewards.] Sometime later, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[Blue talent: Wind Charge.]
[Cultivation: Peak-stage Great-Grandmaster, Peak-stage Golden Elixir {with Supreme foundation (Extraordinary Bone talent upgraded to Purple)}.]
[Experience {Marrow-Cleansing, combat exp, muscle memory, technique proficiency, practicing experience {Spear intent Level 6, Sword intent level 4, Stick intent level 1, etc.}, breakthrough exp, cultivation exp, etc.}]
[Resources {87.3 million value of spirit stones (including silver and gold), Invisibility Clock, etc.}]
[Detailed memory of everything you saw.]
When Lin Chen saw the rewards, without wasting any time, he made his choice:
Cultivation: Extreme of Qi-Refining, Peak of Great-Grandmaster realm, Experience, and Resources.
When he made his choice, a gentle and powerful energy was born in his body and began nourishing his meridians in a gentle way. His talent began to improve slowly and smoothly as time passed.
A while later,
Lin Chen's cultivation reached both the Extreme of Qi-Refining and Great-Grandmaster realm.
At that moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
[Ding, the host has ranked 1st in the entire Yongcheng City. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: The Great Burning Heaven Technique.]
[Ding, the host has ranked 1st in the entire Qingcheng County. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: The Talent, The Master of Talisman Dao (Gold).]
[Ding, the host has ranked 1st in the entire Taiping Dynasty. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: The Book, Introduction of Talisman.]
[The Great Burning Heaven Technique: This is an ultimate technique for Fire Spiritual Root. After devouring spiritual flames of heaven and earth, it can increase the grade of Fire Spiritual Root, or it can even allow the body to be born with a Fire Spiritual Root if the practitioner doesn't have one. Many other features for the practitioner to discover.]
[The Master of Talisman Dao (Gold): This is a Genius of Talisman that appears only once in a million years and has the potential to become the Master of Talisman Dao. It can be an unrivaled genius of Talisman even in the Upper Realm.]
[The Book, Introduction of Talisman: This book has recorded all formation techniques from Tier 1 to 9 from past and present.]
When Lin Chen saw the rewards, he was shocked—not because the Combat Ranking System worked in reality, but because he received so many valuable rewards. He began to ponder why he got so many valuable rewards.
After a while, he thought of his Luck, which he had in an unknown amount. He thought that his Luck should be more or less around Red Talent level, or else he would have gotten rewards even more valuable than this.
After a while, Lin Chen put this matter aside and focused on the rewards this time.
There was a clock in his storage space, and it was called the Invisibility Clock.
The reason is, this clock can cover up the person who wears it and make him invisible for a day. But it has a downside: after an hour of wearing it, its effect begins to fade away, and he can be seen by Mahayana realm or stronger cultivators. As time passes, its effect continues to weaken. It has a cooldown of one month after each use.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen focused on the other rewards, and at last, the vast hill of spirit stones.
He said to the system, "System, upgrade to Level 9 and introduce the new feature."
[Ding, upgraded to level 9 successfully. The upgraded functions are explained below.]
[Level 9]
[Can definitely draw a Purple talent, and Green talent draw is removed.]
When Lin Chen saw the new feature, he was very satisfied with it.
After a moment, he said in his heart, "System, start simulation."
[1 Spirit Stone consumed. The value of remaining currencies: 46.2 million Spirit Stones.]
Lin Chen saw that this time a Spirit Stone was consumed, and he recalled the instructions of the simulator at the start.
