Chapter 351: The Netherfruit and Ascension to Epic
Chapter 351: The Netherfruit and Ascension to Epic
[You have successfully used the Scientist-Physicist Conversion Certificate to obtain the rare profession: Physicist.]
[You have used the Netherfruit to elevate your rare-level Physicist profession to the Epic-level Physicist profession.]
[You have used...]
Qin Muye had five vacant profession slots, and he filled them all with Physicist, Chemist, Biologist, Computer Scientist, and Mathematician.
As for the Netherfruit, it is actually a plant fruit formed by combining pure Netherwater and the Fairy Queen Conversion Certificate. By injecting enough magic power, the Nether Fairy Tree can produce the Netherfruit. Consuming it can elevate a profession by one rank, which Qin Muye specifically created for himself.
His Scholar and Fairy Master professions had already reached the Epic level, and now all his professions were at the Epic level. The fairy heroes under his command were also at the Epic level, making his lineup extremely luxurious.
"There's no feeling at all. I just took on so many professions and gained so many talents. Shouldn't the protagonist usually feel dizzy and overwhelmed?" Qin Muye looked at his densely packed talents and his incredibly high knowledge attribute, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Although his other attributes were also high, he primarily focused on knowledge, so his knowledge attribute was far ahead of the others.
"Enhancements in logical thinking have been too numerous, filling in all my gaps. If I were more scientific, it would be even better." Qin Muye knew he couldn't fully utilize these enhancements because he wasn't scientific.
However, it was fine. The talents provided by these professions were quite complementary to Qin Muye, especially with the Scholar and Sage professions as the core, continuously expanding his capabilities in learning and research.
"Now, looking at it, the Fairy Master profession seems a bit redundant." Qin Muye smacked his lips. Although advancing to the Epic level had its benefits, it was a bit out of place among his other scholarly professions.
"I wonder if the additional talents and enhancements every 10 levels from these many Epic-level professions can stack?"
"If they can stack, wouldn't I gain 9 talents and undergo 9 enhancements every 10 levels???"
Qin Muye suddenly felt a bit stunned. This meant that with enough stacked Epic-level professions, he could rival a Mythic-level unique profession.
"Oh, if they were all Mythic-level professions, that would be even better."
Multiple Epic-level professions stacking indeed could match a Mythic-level profession, but the problem was that winning with a multitude of professions wouldn't be very glorious.
As for creating Mythic-level professions, that was a bit difficult. Qin Muye couldn't replicate the Mythic profession of a Qi Practitioner in the short term. Unless he obtained a Mythic-level profession conversion certificate, it was out of the question.
After learning the professions, he began to continue crafting the Ocean Hat divine artifact, with efficiency at least a hundred times faster than before.
What was once a source of frustration now flowed like a spring of inspiration, with a constant stream of ideas. He also multitasked, continuously calculating various formulas and methods in his mind.
"Phew~ With one hammer, I forge a stellar civilization; I am indeed powerful." Qin Muye's judgment of his own strength was not based on physical power but on his knowledge.
After a few hours of intense work, a brand new divine artifact emerged.
"Too quick, I finished this way too fast." Qin Muye was a bit taken aback. According to his estimates, the Ocean Hat divine artifact should have taken at least two months, but he completed it in just three days.
The primary reason was the sudden addition of five Epic-level scholarly professions, which significantly boosted his efficiency. The complementary nature of these professions led to such a powerful burst of productivity.
"Never mind, let's test it first. If it succeeds, I'll turn all the divine artifacts into devices. That way, they can form temporary domain traits, making battles more powerful." Qin Muye thought for a moment. Since his efficiency was so high, he might as well take advantage of it.
During the next two months, he would let the Black Hand take the lead, using the time for large-scale resource conversion and system plundering.
The Divine Emperor Shen You's expression flickered with unusual light. He hadn't expected the Demon Soil to initiate contact with him and reveal their intention to annihilate the alien insectoids.
However, he knew that this was absolutely not a good sign. First, the Demon Mechanic Emperor of the Heavenly Beyond was wiped out, and now they had set their sights on the Insectoid Overlords.
If even this threat were to be eliminated, would the next target be his Da Yan Dynasty?
This was not an impossibility. The other party's actions were extremely ruthless, and they had carried out such deeds shortly after arriving.
Of course, the most important thing was that the other party was not just seeking passage but a deeper level of trade. The items they wanted had shifted from various resources to cultivation techniques, literature, and classics, and they had even generously opened up some things that seemed unattainable to him.
This was too generous, so generous that Emperor Shen You began to have strong doubts.
Therefore, he was skeptical about this cooperation.
"Your Majesty, we must be cautious. The Demon Soil is treacherous and unpredictable. Their actions are probably not as simple as they seem on the surface," Bai Lu, who had been promoted to Chief Minister, advised.
"I know, but these things are truly extraordinary," Emperor Shen You sighed, pushing the list given to him by the Black Hand over.
Bai Lu respectfully took it and quickly scanned it, his eyes nearly popping out. "This, this is too incredible."
His voice trembled as he passed the list to the others, then calmed down and continued, "The Demon Soil must have some grand scheme; otherwise, they would never give up these things."
The list contained techniques rather than finished products, indicating that the other party was truly investing heavily. If they were to hand over these techniques, the Demon Soil would no longer be the sole monopolizers.
"Yes, the Demon Soil's ruler must have gained a great deal of benefits from the Sky Scar. As you can see, the Demon Soil, which was originally just a city, now spans as far as the Eastern Sea," Emperor Shen You said helplessly.
The Sky Scar was the time passage.
The dramatic changes in the Demon Soil startled him and filled him with regret. If he had known, he would have entered the Sky Scar himself, which might have advanced his Da Yan Dynasty further.
"Let's set this aside for now. Has there been any progress on the remains of the evil spirits?" Emperor Shen You quickly regained his composure and asked.
The evil spirits he referred to were the Terminators. The large number of 6th and 7th-rank Terminators had shocked him, but after being eliminated by Qin Muye, many remains were collected.
With his extensive experience, he recognized that these were puppets and wanted the Ministry of Works to replicate them. If they could mass-produce evil spirit puppets capable of matching 9th-rank Sorcerers, or even 10th-rank Imperial Sorcerers, they would be able to protect themselves, if not conquer the world.
However, the cabinet ministers looked at each other, and finally, Bai Lu, as the Chief Minister, steeled himself to say, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works has made little progress. These evil spirit remains are quite peculiar and do not resemble our grand and majestic artifacts. It will take more time."
"The Ministry of Works seems to have become somewhat lazy in recent years," Emperor Shen You could hear the lack of progress in Bai Lu's words.
He had noticed that the Ministry of Works, while not achieving much, had also not made any significant mistakes. There had been no progress in new weapons or artifacts, but they had completed their annual quotas.
The phrase "lack of ambition" aptly described the situation.
Hearing Emperor Shen You's evaluation, everyone felt a tightening in their chests. This was not a favorable assessment, and the Ministry of Works might undergo a significant overhaul.
This involved the interests of everyone present. In the six ministries, the cabinet ministers, including Bai Lu, had their own stakes. Without these stakes, where would their factional interests come from?
However, Emperor Shen You was different from other emperors. He held supreme power for thousands of years, and even though his ministers had significant power, it paled in comparison to his.
Emperor Shen You observed the expressions of the cabinet ministers and finally said helplessly, "Supervise them more closely. I will invite the experts from the Demon Soil to teach us their techniques. Let's allow this cooperation."
He had blocked the external threats, but the internal power struggles had become a specialty. Now, he could only first secure the various technologies from the Demon Soil and then gradually change the current atmosphere. This was not something that could be changed overnight. He was a politician, unlike Qin Muye, who was a scientist.
Therefore, Emperor Shen You had to consider various influences and public opinion, rather than relying solely on strong-arm tactics.
