[Target Three-Star: Hello, what style of pet beast equipment would you like to have made? Standard or customized? Please send over all necessary data for your pet beast, the main functions of the equipment required, the style you want, etc. in advance.]
[Vincent: I want a tool that can store energy. Let me tell you my requirements. I have only one strict requirement, which is that the tool must store a large amount of energy. All other functions are optional. Oh, and the energy it stores must be death energy.]
After Vincent sent it, there was no response from the other party for two to three minutes.
“What’s the matter? Can’t it be forged?”
Just as Vincent thought the deal was off, a message finally came from the other party.
[Target Three-Star: Yes, it can be done. However, this will be my first time manufacturing a piece of pet beast equipment with a death attribute. If you don’t trust me, you can choose to cancel your reservation, and I will refund you.]
[Vincent: No problem as long as you refund me if the creation fails.]
[Target Three-Star: There will indeed be a refund. So, what kind of style do you want?]
[Vincent: Something easy to carry and preferably good-looking.]
[Target Three-Star: …Could you be more specific? I can give you several options.]
[Vincent: Do you have any samples?]
[Target Three-star: **.JPG, ***.JPG,
The other party sent over a dozen photos at once. After comparing them,
Vincent finally chose a necklace. This necklace was very delicate and caught Vincent’s eye on first sight. It matched perfectly with Evan’s appearance.
Moreover, there was another reason. Normally, registered pet beasts need to be distinguishable from unregistered ones, and the most common method is adding a necklace.
It was definitely not because of Vincent’s particular taste.
[Vincent: **.JPG, this one.]
[Target Three-Star: Do you have any materials ready for the forging process?] [Vincent: No.]
[Target Three-Star: If you have the materials and can transport them to me, you only have to pay the forging fee and design fee. Without the materials, I will prepare them based on the situation. The price of the materials will then increase by 5% of the market price. Moreover, if you lack the materials but wish to designate a certain material for me to make the tool, the price of the materials will increase by another 5%.]
“I totally forgot about the need for materials to forge.”
Initially, Vincent wanted to let the forgemaster prepare the materials, but then he remembered what Aiden Winter said during the day about giving him a tenth of the resources collected during this exam.
That was a whole Devil’s Domain’s worth of resources. There must be suitable materials for forging in there.
The Life Secret Realm was only a few days away. Vincent figured he could barely manage Evan during these few days.
[Vincent: I don’t have suitable materials for forging right now. Can I collect them in a few days?]
[Target Three-Star: No problem. This reservation fee is regarded as a deposit. Material fees, forging fees and design fees are deducted from this deposit. The extra will be refunded or the deficit will be supplemented. Just a friendly reminder that you can contact me to cancel and get the deposit back within one month. I can’t help you if it has been over a month.]
Vincent exited the forum and put away his phone. Still feeling a little fatigued from the energy absorption, he fell soundly asleep in no time.
[Selectable Mysterious Realms: Water Mysterious Realm, Life Secret Realm, Miracle Secret Realm.]
“I choose the Simulation of Miracle Secret Realm.”
Upon waking up, the first thing Vincent did, without even opening his eyes, was making his choice.
The moment the simulation was activated, a large amount of Vincent’s mental power was drained. Consumed by overwhelming emptiness and confusion, his thoughts became blurry and his mind went blank, leaving him unconscious for a long while.
When he finally woke up from his daze, he felt a splitting headache. His mind was like an unfathomable abyss, making even the simplest thoughts impossible to process.
Half an hour later, he finally recovered a modicum of his thinking speed, and immediately took out a Mental Power Potion from his Space Bracelet to drink.
Upon consumption, a cooling sensation spread into his mind, reviving his stalled thinking process, and the excruciating pain also greatly diminished.
“Why was my mental power absorbed this time?
Vincent was covered in cold sweat, the pillow and quilt soaking wet.
“The power Phoenix gave me was to halve the physical energy consumption during the simulation, but it didn’t reduce the mental energy consumption. So it means I paid the full amount of mental power.”
“If I hadn’t contracted with Yvonne and received a boost in mental power, I might not have been able to withstand the consumption this time.”
“Wait, maybe if I hadn’t received the boost, I wouldn’t have been able to initiate the Miracle Secret Realm simulation at all.”
After resting for a while, Vincent continued with the simulation.
[Simulation Options: Slime, Three-tailed Fox]
“Choose Slime!”
Vincent still chose Barry this time because he had already become accustomed to Barry’s body, and Yvonne wasn’t particularly strong at the moment.
With each activation of the Miracle Secret Realm costing a billion, he had to play it safe.
[Randomly Acquired Attribute: Acute Hearing (White)]
[Acute Hearing (White): Your hearing is extraordinarily sensitive; you can hear faint noises and detect movements from afar.]
[Simulation begins: ]
[Upon entering the Miracle Secret Realm, you find that you have become the Life-Death Slime King and have arrived at the fork of the first level.]
[In the first fork of the Miracle Secret Realm, you need to choose between “Riddle-solving” and “Event”. After pondering for a long time, you, believing your intelligence to be as high as 250, naturally find the riddles a piece of cake, and decisively chose “Riddle-solving”.]
[As you move towards the “Riddle-solving” fork, your vision goes black. The next moment, you find yourself in a small town.]
[Upon arriving in town, a piece of information appears in your mind.]
[There are three people in town, named A, B and C respectively. A always tells the truth, B always lies, and C sometimes tells the truth and sometimes lies. You need to find all three of them and identify each person’s identity. You can only ask one question per person.]
[You think for a while, then grab the three people in the town and line them up. You ask the first person, “Who is to your left?”]
[He answers:
[You ask the second person, “Who are you?”]
[He answers: “C.”]
[You ask the third person again, “Who is the person in front of you?”]
[He answers:
[Based on their answers, you understand who each person is.]
“I’m laughing; it’s really simple, not puzzling at all! ”
“This Discernment doesn’t seem very useful. According to its description, it only works after a conversation..”
