Wang Teng relaxed his mood, black ripples appearing in his pupils, and soon a translucent panel appeared with a talent introduction.
[Lifebound Talent: Unequal Exchange.]
[Unequal Exchange: Can initiate exchanges with any target, capable of obtaining unexpected things.]
This explanation is somewhat too vague, looks like I'll have to research it more to figure out the effects.
After putting away the panel, Wang Teng had a thought and switched to the chatroom channel.
I wonder what talents others have awakened?
"Haha, I've awakened! My talent is a E-level talent—Copper Wall and Iron Wall, when activated, physique increases by 50%!"
"Haha! Isn't it just a turtle shell awakening? Mine is a D-level talent—Spiritual Attack!"
"No matter how strong your Copper Wall and Iron Wall is, can it block spiritual damage? Haha, I'm invincible!"
"Sigh, why is mine an F-level talent—Taste Enhancement, it enhances taste by 5 times when activated, but what's the use? Damn it!"
"Mine is also the worst F-level talent—Chest Muscle Enhancement, boohoo~"
The chatroom was bustling with noise, Wang Teng wanted to see if anyone else, like him, had awakened an SSS-level talent.
With nearly ten million people in Yan City alone, everyone like dragons, it's impossible that no one has awakened an SSS-level talent.
Thinking of this, Wang Teng went back into the chatroom channel.
"Hey girl in front, want to join me? I'll protect you, hehe."
"Is that Brother Qiang! What talent did Brother Qiang awaken?"
"Hehe, I awakened a C-level talent—Powerful Mountain Pulling, which doubles power upon activation and comes with an oppressive effect."
"Oh my! A C-level talent, not only increases stats but also comes with a bonus effect, that's amazing!"
"Yeah! Truly a reincarnation of a conqueror!"
"Brother Qiang~ Little sister is willing to stay by your side forever like Yu Ji!"
At this moment, the chatroom was full of praise for the great Su Qiang.
"So far, only one person has awakened a C-level talent, it's so hard to get a good talent!"
"Has anyone awakened an SSS-level talent?"
Everyone eagerly awaited.
"Thirty years on the east of the river, thirty years on the west, don't mock a youth's poverty!"
A familiar avatar flashed, appearing in everyone's view.
"My talent is the unique SSS-level talent—Endless Extraction!"
"It's you?! SSS-level talent? Want me to bring you a plate of peanuts?"
"I knew you wouldn't believe it, take a look, what is this?!"
[Name: Li Ao]
[Lifebound Talent: SSS-level Endless Extraction]
"This is... a genuine SSS-level talent!"
"Brother Li Ao, little sister is sworn to serve you for life!"
"Damn it! People really make me mad, my talent is just trash!"
Someone said enviously.
Wang Teng saw this, silently activating his talent.
[Unequal Exchange activated]
"I want to exchange for the SSS-level talent—Endless Extraction."
[Exchange failed!]
Seeing the result, Wang Teng was stunned for a moment.
Could it be that SSS-level talents cannot be exchanged?
[Friendly reminder: Zero-cost purchase is prohibited! You need to offer an item for exchange.]
So that's how it is!
Freebies are impossible; he had never done anything for free in his life.
What to exchange?
Wang Teng looked around, his eyes lighting up.
He picked up the half-eaten box of instant noodles and said firmly:
"Exchange!"
Swish!
A white light flashed, and the half-box of instant noodles in Wang Teng's hand disappeared.
[Unequal Exchange activated successfully.]
[Unequal Exchange enters cooldown, time 24 hours.]
[This Unequal Exchange consumed 88 points of Luck Value.]
[Friendly reminder: Luck Value can recover to its initial state over time, at a rate of 1 Luck Value per day.]
[Congratulations, you have acquired the SSS-level talent—Endless Extraction.]
[Endless Extraction: Gain unexpected rewards by touching any item.]
SSS-level talents always have such mysterious introductions.
It really works!
Wang Teng already understood how to use this ability.
As long as he targets something, he can forcibly exchange it.
And he can use any item for the exchange!
The only thing being consumed is Luck Value.
88 points of Luck Value for an SSS-level talent, Wang Teng doesn't know if it's a loss or gain!
But at least his Luck Value can recover over time.
Meanwhile on the other side.
"Plop!"
"What's the matter? Whose instant noodles got thrown to me?"
Li Ao stood up in the room, with an unhappy expression.
"Brother Li Ao, what does your SSS Level Talent do?"
Upon hearing the gentle voice in the chat channel, Li Ao finally calmed down.
He casually swiped and shared the talent description in the chat channel.
"Talent: Half a Box of Instant Noodles, can satisfy hunger, fried food, to protect your health, please do not use often."
"Hahaha! Half a box of instant noodles being called an SSS Level Talent?"
"It's actually an instant noodle talent, truly deserving!"
"Ahhh! Where's my SSS Level Talent? Who threw this half box of instant noodles at my house?"
"No way, I just saw it was Endless Extraction."
"Me too, this is really crazy!"
...
"Everyone, don't disclose your talents, there's great terror in here!"
Wang Teng entered the chat room, saw countless people spamming, and immediately exited.
There turned out to be great terror in the chat channel, he absolutely couldn't expose easily.
The fact that he obtained two SSS Level Talents, he would never tell anyone!
More importantly, his two SSS Level Talent abilities were both auxiliary functions and couldn't enhance combat power.
Currently, with 44 points of combat power, he had the strength of a chicken, barely able to protect himself.
Besides, he still hadn't figured out the exact function of the new SSS Level Talent, Endless Extraction.
Suddenly, that mechanical voice echoed again!
[Announcement: All personnel awakening complete, next, you will choose major game instances for exploration!]
[Game task: Survive!]
[Time limit: Seven days.]
[Hint: Real-world items cannot be brought into instances.]
Buzz~
As soon as the hint ended, a translucent panel reappeared!
[Option A, enter the 'Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' world.]
[Option B, enter the 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' world.]
[Option C, enter the 'Celestial Dragon Eight Books' world.]
[Option D, enter the 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' world.]
...
Wang Teng looked at the familiar novel worlds, his eyes shining.
"Which world will everyone choose?"
"I'll go to whichever world Brother Qiang chooses! Brother Qiang has the highest combat power, and now with a newly awakened C-Level Talent, he will only grow stronger in the future!"
"Yes indeed! Brother Qiang, we're with you!"
The crowd continued to discuss, all flattering Su Qiang.
Su Qiang, hearing the compliments, felt elated and full of pride.
"Everyone, I will first choose to enter 'Celestial Dragon Eight Books', to see how dangerous it is and pave the way for you!"
With that, he chose C, his body transforming into streams of information, disappearing without a trace.
Everyone silently anticipated in the chat channel.
Soon, all records of Su Qiang in the channel were cleared.
[Warning: This is not a game! This is not a game!]
[ID 440***********6654, Su Qiang has been killed!]
[Real-world status: Deleted.]
The next second, everyone heard this cold announcement.
Everyone fell into endless silence.........
In the blink of an eye, the much-anticipated Su Qiang was killed.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
The brutality of the Martial World was much greater than they imagined!
Soon, Su Qiang's relatives confirmed his disappearance at home.
This information reminded everyone that this could truly result in death!
Everyone felt fear.
[The Martial World is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, to prevent a similar incident, everyone will receive the skill—A Glimpse.]
[A Glimpse: Can investigate the comprehensive combat power of characters, cannot view if exceeding your own by 1000%.]
[Hint: If no choice is made within ten minutes, you will randomly enter one of the major worlds.]
The voice abruptly stopped, and the chat channel became chaotic again.
"Everyone, don't panic, although the Martial World is dangerous, we can form teams! There is strength in numbers!"
"Yes, our talent attributes, combined, may not necessarily be inferior to those martial artists!"
"E-level Talent—Shadow Stealth, seeking a team!"
"F-level Talent—Taste Enhancement, seeking a strong player to guide~"
Soon, everyone began forming teams with each other.
Those awakened with D-level Talents received endless attention.
Wang Teng watched all this silently, unmoved.
He definitely didn't want to expose his talent abilities publicly.
Everyone formed teams and gradually entered the various Martial Worlds.
The voices in the chat channel were also slowly diminishing.
Wang Teng knew more and more people were teaming up and entering the Martial Worlds.
In the last ten seconds, he took a deep breath and slowly said:
"I choose the 'Celestial Dragon Eight Books' world."
[Celestial Dragon Eight World officially opened! Feel free to cause a stir!]
