Chapter 66: The Divine Artifact - The Demonic Power-Infused Divine Core
"Master, everything went very smoothly. Mo Xue has already obtained Panen's divine core and brought it back. As expected, the other party harbored ill intentions, or rather, the other party is most likely no longer the half-goat god Panen," Black Hand said respectfully.
Qin Muye, who was reading a book, was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected it to happen so quickly, but he quickly realized that a day had already passed, and the inside-outside coordination had been very efficient.
"This is Panen's divine core. Please take a look," Black Hand handed the divine core to Qin Muye.
At first glance, it seemed normal, filled with the essence of nature and vitality, making one feel as if they were enjoying a spring day, with the body and mind immersed in a sense of joy.
However, Qin Muye restrained this feeling. For him, this was not a good sensation. It was comfortable, but it felt like being lured by someone.
Demonic Power-Infused Divine Core
Rank: Divine Artifact
Attributes:
- Attack Power +50%
- Defense Power +50%
- Strength +50%
- Knowledge +50%
- Harvest from Farming, Foraging, and Hunting +100%
- Half-goat troop production doubles weekly
- Recruitment cost for half-goat troops halved
- Magic points cap +1 per day, Health points cap -1 per day
- Daily chance for troops within the territory to undergo flesh mutation
- All heroes and troops within the territory receive attribute boosts
Aside from the two problematic attributes, the rest were simply terrifying, especially the harvest doubling.
"Does this thing take effect immediately?" Qin Muye looked at his suddenly surging attributes with some hesitation.
"Yes, Master. As soon as it is obtained, it takes effect. The entire territory will be affected, even if it is placed in the inventory or the resource warehouse," Black Hand said helplessly.
Qin Muye's face darkened. The half-goat god Panen was truly despicable, daring to deceive him.
He hadn't expected it to take effect as soon as he obtained it.
"Throw it away!" Qin Muye said firmly.
It was a good item, but a trap. Just the daily decrease in health points indicated that the other party intended a blood sacrifice.
"It can't be thrown away. It seems to have already bound to us, Master. Please look," Black Hand said cautiously. After all, this was his fault; if he hadn't suggested it, they wouldn't have been stuck with this thing.
Qin Muye sighed, "A god is a god. This time, I'll cover for you, but next time, you need to understand that if it's not necessary, we don't need to provoke such beings."
He took the demonic power-infused divine core and immediately invested it in the Angel Investor event.
In the next moment, the divine and demonic powers affecting the entire territory vanished instantly, and the attribute boosts they had received disappeared as well.
"Master, your method is good, but if your return on investment reaches a hundredfold, won't the returned divine core also be a hundred times stronger?" Black Hand hadn't expected Qin Muye to do this.
Qin Muye rolled his eyes, "What's there to fear? When the time comes, I'll list it on the trading market. If someone buys it, I'll give it to them. If no one buys it, I'll keep it listed. If Panen wants it back, let him go to 'The Lord's Era' to ask for it."
"If all else fails, I can sell it in the store for some gold."
Black Hand was genuinely baffled. He really hadn't expected such a solution.
His fixed mindset had influenced him, making him respect and fear 'The Lord's Era,' which is why he hadn't thought of it.
But Qin Muye was different. He was a very straightforward person, just wanting to live and live well. He would use the rules if they could be utilized, follow them when they were beneficial, and find loopholes when they were not.
"Let Moxue, Xiayu, and the others go to Panen. If he wants the divine core, he should come and see me; otherwise, he can wait to die," Qin Muye said with a hint of annoyance.
"Wait, just seeing me will do. When the time comes, find an opportunity to lock him up in the dungeon, and then I'll go see him."
After some thought, Qin Muye decided to be cautious, as his life was the most important thing to him.
"Once he's locked up, let Moxue beat him half to death, and have Xiayu cast all sorts of debuffs on him before I go to see him."
He felt that locking him up wasn't enough; he needed to ensure the other party was incapacitated.
Since his strength was weak, he needed to be self-aware.
Being targeted meant malice, and malice meant an enemy, and an enemy meant danger, which needed to be avoided.
To avoid being targeted, one needed to ensure the other party couldn't target them again.
"Yes, Master," Black Hand had no objections to Qin Muye's orders and even considered being more ruthless.
After Black Hand left, Qin Muye sighed, "I am just a weak scholar, why must you force me into this?"
He remembered how glorious it was when he passed the imperial examination.
Now, he couldn't even step out the door for fear of his life, and could only hide and study.
Fortunately, he had endured nine years of compulsory education and ten years of hard study in his previous life, so this wasn't too much of a burden.
[Fang Miao refined the exotic water Qingming Cold Water and advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refinement. The Xu Jue evolved to a high-grade Yellow Rank. Your investment return +1. Your total return remaining: 9.3]
"The first exotic water? It directly increased my return by 1. It seems I am truly on the rise."
Qin Muye looked at the refreshed notification. Previously, his returns had only increased by 0.1 or 0.2, but this time, a direct increase of 1 was very significant.
[Fang Miao created a scalable divine ability, Four Seas Dragon Ascension. Your investment return +0.1. Your total return remaining: 9.4]
[Fang Miao won first place in the Talisman Master Competition. Your investment return +0.1. Your total return remaining: 9.5]
Time passed quickly in the investment world, and after obtaining the Qingming Cold Water, Fang Miao began to make rapid progress.
However, it wasn't all gains; there were also losses, such as being pursued by the Yinshen Temple, which was due to the Yuan Ying period residual soul talisman he possessed.
This world, Sky Breaking Summit, was a cultivation world with realms such as Body Forging, Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Yuan Ying, Soul Transformation, Tribulation Transcendence, and Great Ascension.
Emperor Mingtian was a peak Great Ascension cultivator, just one step away from ascending.
Unfortunately, he seemed to be missing something, so he remained at the peak Great Ascension stage.
"The three-year agreement seems to be approaching," Qin Muye suddenly remembered this.
Currently, he was likely to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. After that, he would go to confront his enemies, and once that was done, he would continue to level up in a new map.
This was just the beginning, not the end.
"After the three-year agreement, I can consider increasing my investment."
Qin Muye thought about whether he should invest his only intermediate treasure, the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate. After all, this would bring in significant returns.
As for other treasures, he had considered them, but who knew if he would face retaliation if he made too much profit.
Investors couldn't interfere with the investment scenarios, but The Lord's Era could.
Moreover, Fang Miao being the protagonist was just Qin Muye's assumption, with no solid proof. He could afford to lose the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate, but he would only make a significant investment if the situation was clear before the deadline.
