Chapter 491 - Talent  

After watching Fang Heng and Mo Jiangwei leave, Mo Jianghe gulped down a mouthful of wine.

It was difficult to learn the art of sealing, and it was even harder to master it!

In addition to outstanding talent, it also required constant practice.

Once the talent was mediocre, the achievements were bound to be limited.

In the face of talent, it was hard to find even one person out of a million who could make up for the lack of talent with diligence.

He had seen many people who had a brief period of enthusiasm.

Especially that brat Mo Jiawei!

…

Next door, Room 2235.

There were more than thirty players scattered in the room.

The players here were all much younger.

Fang Heng was still secretly shocked by what he saw.

Each of these people had spent at least 100 King of Gods’ points to learn the sealing technique.

It seemed that in the advanced game world, the method for players to obtain King of Gods’ points was not as difficult as he had imagined.

Mo Jiawei exchanged a few words with Teacher Cheng, then returned to Fang Heng’s side with two wooden cups and some casting materials.

The most basic sealing technique was relatively simple.

Using a special mix of casting ink, a simple sealing rune was carved on a piece of paper.

After the rune was carved, it would be effective for a few minutes. The person who sealed it would need to use the rune to seal the object.

Mo Jiawei looked around curiously. He noticed that a student was sitting on a futon beside him in a daze, so he patted him.

“Brother, how long have you been here?”

That student looked at Mo Jiawei and sighed. “More than three years.”

“So long?”

Mo Jiawei was a little surprised.

“Three years is nothing. I’m considered young here. Most of the people here have practiced for more than five years.”

“Ah?”

“What’s so good about it? Talent is limited. For those of us with talent ratings below excellent, we can only slowly get through it. It’s still considered good here. As long as we pay the money, we can study for 10 years.”

“Oh?” Mo Jiawei answered casually, “I just came here. How should I learn it?”

“It’s quite simple.” The student pointed at the bottle on the low table in front of him, “After learning the basic sealing technique, you can try to seal this bottle into the card. Every time the seal is successful, you will gain some experience points for the sealing technique. When you reach Level 10 for the sealing technique, you will have completed it.”

“Is it very difficult?”

The student looked at Mo Jiawei up and down, “That depends on the person.”

“Eh, I don’t quite understand. Can you explain it to me?”

The student sighed, he said, “To put it bluntly, it has something to do with talent. The stronger the talent, the higher the success rate of completing the seal and the more experience points you get after successfully sealing. The gap in talent would become more obvious. What’s your talent again?”

“Talent score: 55 points. Normal.”

“That’s all? With your talent, no matter how hard you try, you’ll need at least 20 to 30 years to get started.”

“Ah? It can’t be that bad, right?” Mo Jiawei rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands and said unwillingly, “Let me give it a try.”

The rune of the most basic seal was also very simple. Mo Jiawei bit his finger and gently dipped it in the special casting ink in the bowl. With a stroke, he drew a clear sealing rune on the paper.

“Pa!”

The rune paper was stuck on the bottle.

A faint light flashed.

The bottle disappeared and a cup appeared on the pattern on the card.

“Haha! It worked!”

“What the f*ck? This works?”

That student was also shocked and he looked at Mo Jiawei with a strange expression.

This kid’s luck was too good!

With a talent rating of 55, theoretically, the success rate was around 1%.

He actually succeeded on the first try?

“Pu!”

Mo Jiawei had just picked up the sealing paper. Before he had the time to examine it carefully, the card in his hand exploded with a “Pu” sound.

The wooden cup that fell from the air was steadily caught by the student. “Your luck seems to be pretty good. Take your time to learn it. The sealing technique is different from other things. The requirement to advance is very troublesome. You need to be patient.”

Mo Jiawei looked back at Fang Heng with a bitter face.

“Let me give it a try.”

Fang Heng imitated Mo Jiawei. He bit his finger and quickly dipped it in some ink. He quickly wrote a rune and stuck it to the cup.

“Pa!”

The cup remained where it was.

A game hint quickly swept across his vision.

[Hint: Judgement failed. Player’s seal was incomplete.]

“Tsk, failed.”

Judging from the sealing technique information that poured into his mind, biting his finger and using his own blood could slightly increase the probability of completing the seal.

It did not seem to be of much use.

Every production probably required mental strength and vitality, and even some HP.

Fang Heng lowered his head and calculated.

This way, he would have room for manoeuvre.

Fang Heng thought of the zombie clone in the game world.

His talent was limited?

It didn’t matter, he could make up for it with hard work!

Thinking of this, Fang Heng patted Mo Jiawei’s shoulder and said, “Old Mr. Mo, don’t waste time. Let’s go back to the game first. We still have a lot of things to deal with.”

After saying that, Fang Heng put down the wooden cup in his hand and walked to Teacher Cheng who was standing at the edge of the podium.

“Hello, Teacher Cheng, sorry to trouble you. May I bring some of the rune paper and the casting materials needed to make medicinal ingredients back for practice?”

Teacher Cheng glanced at the young master of North River Heavy Industry behind Fang Heng. He nodded and said, “Yes, you can. Normal paper will do. As for the casting materials, they have a limited shelf life and need to be used as soon as possible. By the way, how much do you want? I’ll register it.”

“Um…” Fang Heng pondered for a moment, then exchanged a look with Mo Jiawei. “Let’s take five tons first.”

Teacher Cheng raised his head in surprise. “Huh? What did you say?”

…

District 8.

Late at night.

The ground was full of coal.

At first, Fang Heng used a glass cup.

Later, Fang Heng found that the glass cup was too fragile and the entire storage room was filled with the sound of glass breaking, so he changed it to coal ore.

[Hint: Your zombie clone failed to seal the coal ore.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone failed to seal the coal ore…]

He waited for a full eight minutes!

The twenty zombie clones stuck seven rounds of seals. Finally, a hint appeared in front of Fang Heng.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has completed the seal on the coal ore. You have gained 0.001 experience points for basic sealing techniques.]

Only 0.001 experience points?

“Isn’t this a little too much…”

While he was muttering to himself, a line of game hints refreshed once again.

[Hint: Player has completed the sealing technique for the first time.]

[Hint: Player’s skill-occult ritual (binding soul seal) has activated a new special ability.]

“Eh?”

Fang Heng let out a soft “eh” sound. He could not help but reach out his hand and look at the mark on the back of his hand before opening the skill description.

Skill-occult ritual (binding soul seal).

Level: Tier 1.

Skill description 1: After mastering this skill, you can synchronize your basic attribute skill into the game world. Current synchronization rate: 100%.

Skill description 2: You can directly enter the game through the ritual seal.

Skill description 3: Skill-low-efficiency energy storage.

Special ability 1 (Main World): Outside of the game, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

Special ability 2 (Vampire Apocalypse): You will not be affected by the distortion of the Vampire Apocalypse game world. In the Vampire Apocalypse game, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

Special ability 3 (Zombie Apocalypse): You will not be affected by the distortion of the Zombie Apocalypse game world. In the Zombie Apocalypse game, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes.

Special ability 4 (Nightmare Hell): You will not be affected by the distortion of the Nightmare Hell game world. In the Nightmare Hell game, you will receive an additional 10% increase in all attributes and your sealing talent will receive an extremely weak increase.

Fang Heng was stunned.

Special ability 4 was a new ability! It did not appear before!

It was triggered after he completed the seal!

It was slightly different from the previous few skills, skill 4 had an additional talent upgrade?

As he was thinking, a game hint appeared in Fang Heng’s vision.

[Hint: You have completed the sealing technique. Through skill-occult ritual, your sealing technique talent has increased by 0.001.]
