Chapter 17 - Blitzkrieg

　　Inside the safe zone, in a small secret room, five people gathered together, carefully and with full attention around the mutated treasure chest. 　　Under the dim light, everyone's eyes were thievingly bright. 　　"Haha." 　　"Hahahaha!" 　　"Hahahahaha!" 　　It wasn't three people who were laughing, only Shan Gu was the only one, laughing like a silly son of a landlord's family. 　　"Brother Bai, you'll be my brother from now on! How much is a piece of primary talisman paper? I'll send you a thousand tomorrow! Next time we go to the secondary space, we'll bring three to five hundred of them with us, and when we see someone who doesn't look good, we'll throw them! Throw it as hard as you can, just throw it!" 　　"Idiot." Ji Caiyi glared at him. 　　Shan Gu looked at her, "Don't you think this is cool? Brush, brush, a flurry of throwing talismans, throw them in the faces of those damn subspace monsters! Blow him up!" 　　"Doesn't throwing charms require spiritual energy?" Si Yin, who had already slowed down, asked weakly from the side. 　　Ji Caiyi let out a cold laugh as Liu Zhiyuan nodded seriously, "It's needed." 　　"Uh......" Shan Gu revealed a contemplative expression, then turned his head and looked at Bai Muye with a serious face, "Brother Bai, I think it, you need to make up for it!" 　　Bai Muye rubbed his hands together, "Open the case!" 　　Shan Gu's attention was immediately diverted and he excitedly said, "Open open open!" 　　Si Yin and Ji Caiyi were also looking forward to it. 　　The Intercity Replica was held once a week, and the things opened out of the treasure chests were varied and in a wide range of categories. 　　Skills, elixirs, materials, weapons ...... and sometimes even cash exchange coupons. 　　Simple and rough. 　　No matter what it is, the value is almost around fifty thousand dollars. 　　But today's was the Mutant Treasure Chest! 　　It was worth, at around half a million dollars! 　　It was ten times that of an ordinary treasure chest. 　　No matter what could be opened, it certainly wouldn't be bad. 　　Several people looked at Liu Zhiyuan with bated breath, he was the captain, opening a chest like this, he had the final say. 　　Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Bai Muye: "Today we were able to get the treasure chest, the person with the most credit is you, you open it!" 　　"The person with the most credit is Caiyi, without her, it's impossible for us to succeed." Bai Muye looked at the crowd with a serious face. 　　There was actually a sentence he didn't have the heart to tell everyone, he had black hands! 　　Although the old man didn't allow Bai Muye to come into contact with the virtual warehouse too early, that didn't stop Bai Muye from playing some small games through his personal brain. 　　The experience of opening those boxes was simply a black history of raffle draws. 　　The hand is not generally black! 　　Euro Emperor? 　　It never existed in his case. 　　"Without your talisman, it's impossible for me to grab the treasure chest ah, so it's better for you to open it." Ji Caiyi excused herself. 　　"Aiya you guys are really inkless, or I'll open it!" Shan Gu said anxiously from the side. 　　Ji Caiyi glared at him and suddenly smiled, "It's fine for you to drive, but ......" 　　"But what?" Shan Gu's hand was already on the treasure chest. 　　"If you open a skill book that both you and I can use ......" 　　Before Ji Caiyi finished speaking, Shan Gu laughed out loud, "Skill books? You're overthinking it, aren't you? Besides, how can there be such a coincidence? If you open one that you and I can use, it's yours!" 　　As he spoke, he had already opened the box casually, a light flashed, and inside lay a book quietly. 　　"Crap it's really a skill book?" 　　Shan Gu's eyes widened, casually took the skill book out of the box, only glanced at it, and smacked himself, "My day!" 　　"No swearing!" Ji Caiyi glared at him and stretched out a hand, "Bring it." 　　Shan Gu instantly put his hand holding the book behind his back and playfully said, "Sister, Miss Caiyi, let's talk about it, shall we?" 　　Ji Caiyi sneered, "There's nothing to discuss." 　　Shan Gu reluctantly handed over the book in his hand to Ji Caiyi and said in a depressed manner, "I've got this crow's mouth!" 　　Ji Caiyi was actually joking with Shan Gu, friends since childhood, all too familiar with each other. 　　However, after receiving the book, and only glancing at it, her eyes immediately widened and she exclaimed, "Medium Grade Blitz? Gosh!" 　　Storm Strike! 　　A rather excellent passive skill! 　　Dramatically increasing the chances of a Blitz, although it would consume a large amount of spiritual energy when a Blitz appeared, this kind of skill, however, was something that all Spirit Warriors needed! 　　It was one of the few universal basic skills. 　　Not to mention Shan Gu and Ji Caiyi, even for Liu Zhiyuan, the Blitz skill was of great use. 　　To make an analogy, if Liu Zhiyuan learned the Blast Technique and happened to strike it when he was fighting against the Evil Spirit Octopus, then even without that power talisman seal, he would be able to break the Evil Spirit Octopus's defense as well! 　　Shan Gu sighed and grunted, "Yes, the middle grade Blast Art ...... brother this hand luck, there is no one else ......" 　　Whew! 　　Ji Caiyi let out a long breath, hesitated, but still handed the book to Shan Gu, "You learn it." 　　Shan Gu shook his head and said with a meaty face, "Forget it, there will be another opportunity later, moreover, through this battle today, I realized that it's more suitable for you to learn it than for me to learn it." 　　Ji Caiyi looked at Liu Zhiyuan again. 　　Liu Zhiyuan said, "It's more suitable for you to learn." 　　Bai Muye asked with some doubt, "Can't we all learn together?" 　　"Of course not!" Shan Gu looked at Bai Muye and said, "The skill books obtained in the virtual world are all learned by only one person. When unlocked through a secret key, the content of the skill will go straight into the mind, forming an indelible memory. Then the skill book will disappear." 　　Si Yin said at the side, "Skill books in the virtual world are all disposable consumables." 　　Ji Caiyi said, "Good Attribute Martial Skills are worth their weight in gold, especially the Master Grade ones." 　　She raised this mid-grade Blast Technique in her hand, "This skill book, if it was in reality, five million might not even be able to buy it!" 　　Bai Muye was a bit surprised, a mid-grade skill book only, actually worth so much? 　　Ji Caiyi had a bit of excitement in her eyes, "Even in the virtual world, in my opinion, it's worth much more than half a million. We are really lucky today!" 　　Shan Gu said, "Of course it's more than that, the chances of the treasure chest opening a skill book is extremely low itself, let alone a mid-grade one. In my opinion, it's worth, at least, around eight hundred thousand." 　　Bai Muye was a bit staggered, thinking that this was still a mid-grade skill book that could only be learned by one person, and the price was so high. 　　Then how much must the Rune Seal Master's Treasure Book ...... left behind by the old man be worth? 　　The merit skill books, like the rune seal master's skill books as well as the rune seals, ranged from lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and all the way up to master grade, with perfect grade being the highest quality! 　　And on the Rune Seal Master's Treasure Book, all the Rune Seal Arts were Perfect Grade! 　　This wasn't something that Bai Muye had imagined, but the Rune Seal Master's Treasure Dictionary had a clear elaboration on the rune seal arts above it-- 　　"When a rune seal reaches the highest quality of perfection, there is a qualitative leap in power!" 　　Regarding this sentence, there was also an explanation in the treasure codex. 　　"The rune seal itself is 'reduction', recording the laws on top of the rune paper, 'reducing' all sorts of arts and spells, 'reducing' all sorts of divine abilities. " 　　"By the time it reaches a master-quality rune seal, it is transcendence!" 　　For example, if a talisman master drew a fierce tiger talisman that could reach master level quality, then the fierce tiger that this talisman would transform into upon activation would possess a power that surpassed that of a real tiger! 　　"Perfect quality for creation!" 　　Bai Muye hadn't been able to fully comprehend the meaning of this sentence. 　　Could it be that a perfect quality Mighty Tiger Talisman Seal could still create a whole new species and turn it into a Dragon Lin Saber-Toothed Tiger? 　　But no matter what, the value of that talisman master's treasure book of his was certainly incalculable! 　　Ji Caiyi looked at the crowd, ''Let's do it this way, I won't push back, I do want to learn this skill book in particular. I'll turn around and give everyone two hundred thousand dollars in each of their accounts according to the value." 　　Shan Gu: "Wow! Miss is generous!" 　　Then he shook his head and said with a smile, "There's no need for that, right?" 　　"It's necessary." Ji Caiyi said seriously, "This is the first time we really enter the battle copy to fight the treasure, later we will also enter the sub-dimensional space, if we can't set the rules down, then sooner or later, one day, each of us in our hearts, may be uncomfortable or even give birth to opinions." 　　Liu Zhiyuan said, "Caiyi is right, the rules need to be set down, but ...... the average distribution is already a bit unfair to Muo Ye." 　　Shan Gu nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, today I kind of finally understand the value of a Rune Seal Master." 　　Si Yin said weakly from the side, "I won't participate in the distribution, I didn't do anything, and I can't do anything well ......" 　　"We're a whole, you'll do well in the future!" 　　Bai Muye said with a smile, then looked at Liu Zhiyuan: "Captain, how did you guys distribute in the past?" 　　Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "We haven't played this kind of replica before, but we have participated in some small competitions, and the rewards weren't even that high, they were all evenly distributed. But this time ......" 　　"Then let's follow this rule from now on." Bai Muye said, "We are a team, relying on individuals alone, none of us can get the treasure chest today. I think it's good to distribute it evenly, Caiyi took the skill book but compensated us with a high price." 　　Ji Caiyi shook her head repeatedly, "No, not a high price, it really isn't high at all! And ...... I don't lack money." 　　Bai Muye: "......" 　　Excessive oh, show off the rich huh? 　　Just like to be friends with this kind of people who do not lack money! 　　With the rules thus set, Ji Caiyi then learned this mid-grade Blast Art in the envious eyes of Shan Gu. 　　Afterwards, the few people quietly slipped out of the secret room and entered a training copy, where Ji Caiyi alone singled out a group of imps. 　　Ji Caiyi, who had transformed into a ghost, was like a god of death, becoming an imp reaper! 　　The Medium Grade Blast Technique was indeed powerful! 　　Almost an average of two or three attacks would produce a bludgeoning effect. 　　The chemical effect created by high sensitivity and high bludgeoning shocked everyone. 　　Inside this training map, there were several level 5 Imps, and surprisingly, they were all taken out by Ji Caiyi alone! 　　Although he was hung up a bit, this was something Ji Caiyi couldn't have done before. 　　Shan Gu shattered beside Bai Muye: "In the future, I'll definitely get a master level Blitz, no, I'll get a perfect level one! And it's going to be obtained inside this virtual world! Don't even have to learn it, hahaha!" 　　"You're dreaming, right? The best skill books inside the virtual world are top grade." Ji Caiyi glanced at Shan Gu and struck out without mercy. 　　She then fell back on giving Bai Muye a brief lecture on the relevant knowledge about virtual skill books. 　　Realistic skill books, regardless of whether they were beginner mid-grade or upper-grade, had to go through a long learning process from introductory to proficient and then to pure fire. 　　Even the smartest person couldn't learn it once and be perfect. 　　It was just like the talismanic seal arts that Bai Muye had learned from the Talisman Master's Treasury. 　　With his drawing skills, those talismanic seals he drew now were of a higher quality than the primary level, but at most, they were on the upper side of the intermediate level, and there was still a long way to go before they were of the top quality. 　　This was still his foundation being too awesome, if it was any other rune seal master apprentice, being able to draw a beginner's lower grade rune seal in a short period of time would already be considered a success. 　　So for everyone, compared to slowly honing and improving their skills little by little, they definitely preferred to acquire them from the virtual world. 　　No need to learn, directly mastered! 　　It was a dream come true! 　　But the problem was, not to mention perfect quality skill books, even master level ones were almost impossible to appear in the virtual world. 　　"The skill books in the virtual world are all made by powerful spirit warriors or rune seal masters in the virtual world, little by little, by hand!" 　　"So the output rate is very low!" 　　"Generally speaking, those who can craft disposable virtual skill books are at least at the Sovereign Master realm." 　　"And those who can produce a top-grade virtual skill book would have to be at least a Grandmaster." 　　"As for the Grandmaster and Perfect Grade ...... huh, it's estimated that one would have to be a God-level existence." 　　Ji Caiyi smiled and said, "A great person of that level would be too idle to run to the virtual world to make disposable skill books? Even if people do make them, it would definitely be for their own use!" 　　Liu Zhiyuan added with a serious face, "A disposable master level skill book, even if there is a god level existence that can produce it, the virtual world may not be able to carry it ......" 　　Shan Gu said somewhat helplessly, "I'm just saying, bragging, do you guys want to hit me like this ......" 　　Bai Muye felt that he had benefited greatly from this knowledge, which he really hadn't had much exposure to before. 　　He had often paid attention to those high-level leagues over the years. 　　The reward for the winner of the Flying Immortal Star High School Student League was usually a high-level top-grade skill book plus other cultivation resources. 　　For the Empire's high school student league, the champion reward would be a master grade skill book. 　　According to what Liu Zhiyuan had just said, the master grade skill books should be physical books that were cashed in offline. 　　As for the perfect grade, when put into any top tier mansion, it was also a heavy weapon! 　　It was almost impossible to appear outside. 　　So for this guy, Shan Gu, to still want to get his hands on a Perfect Grade skill book was indeed dreaming. 　　Coming out from the training copy, Ji Caiyi had an excited look on her face and seemed to be somewhat unfulfilled. 　　Liu Zhiyuan glanced at her with some concern, Ji Caiyi instantly understood and smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, I'll control myself!" 　　At this time, Bai Muye suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, and when he turned his head, he actually saw Yao Qian. 　　Yao Qian was sitting on a bench, wearing a trench coat and a bowler hat, waving his hand at Bai Muye. 　　"Who is that person?" Shan Gu asked curiously. 　　"Someone I just met." Bai Muye said casually, then glanced at a few people, "I'll go say hello to him." 　　Liu Zhiyuan nodded, "Go, that's it for today, let's see you tomorrow!" 　　The crowd then exited from the virtual world. 　　Bai Muye came to sit beside Yao Qian and asked somewhat strangely, "Why haven't you left yet?" 　　Yao Qian looked Bai Muye up and down, and suddenly hemmed and hawed, "So your name is Bai Muye, and ...... I found out your secret!" 　　Bai Muye skimmed his mouth, stood up, turned around and left. 　　"Hey hey hey, don't go don't go, just kidding with you." Yao Qian was speechless, thinking that I am at least a famous top intermediary master in this Hundred Flowers City! 　　Give me some face, okay? 　　Bai Muye stood still and turned to look at him. 　　"Tonight's high school level inter-city copy, that mutated treasure chest was taken by you guys, right?" Yao Qian looked at Bai Muye and asked. 　　Bai Muye nodded, there was nothing to hide about this, and it couldn't be hidden. 　　At that time, there were a total of two of their teams in the city center square, and since Wan Xiong's group didn't get it, naturally it was them who took it. 　　"The person who played a decisive factor, was you, right?" 　　Yao Qian looked at Bai Muye with a burning gaze. 　　That look, like his wife's when she looked at expensive jewelry.
