Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Mission Rewards (Long Chapter - Monthly Pass Request)

[The reward for this task is: one random C-level peak Transcendent item/ability or a one-time use B-level Transcendent item.]

[Due to obtaining a five-star rating for a single task in your first high-privilege mission, congratulations on triggering a super invincible lucky critical hit.]

······

Indeed, it still has the taste of the system.

He Ao couldn’t be bothered to complain anymore.

[Please choose one of the following two options]

[1. In addition to the original task reward, randomly select three ordinary C-level items/abilities, and choose one from among them.]

[2. Upgrade the original task reward, randomly select three damaged B-level Transcendent items/abilities (capable of exerting B-level strength to a certain extent), and choose one from among them.]

In summary, these two options were asking He Ao whether he wanted two less impressive items or one better item.

Based on the system’s consistent habits, the things offered in these two options should be approximately the same, with the focus solely on how He Ao would choose.

However, this time the system did not arbitrarily pick a few seemingly plausible options for He Ao to guess the true strength of these items; instead, it directly provided clear item levels.

He Ao glanced at the two options, knowing that he already had enough Transcendent items, and as his strength improved, he began to encounter B-level entities among the Transcendent individuals of the Talent Sequences. Two C-level items might not be enough to deal with a B-level enemy at a critical moment.

Better to have quality than quantity.

Therefore, He Ao directly chose the second option.

[Upgrading your reward now]

[As you hold high-level player privileges, a higher-privilege reward library has been unlocked for you. Upgrading, please wait.]

This time the wait was a bit longer, and He Ao sat up from the bed, glancing out the window at the sky above the bedroom.

At this moment, the sun had already risen halfway up the sky, its bright light spilling over the tranquil city.

This Copy World had lasted longer than any previous one. He Ao had spent nine days in the Copy World, and it was now past nine in the morning.

Finally, the system’s reward upgrade was complete, and He Ao returned his attention to the subtitles in his field of view.

[Upgrade complete.]

[Please choose one of the following three options:]

[1. The Forged World Tree Branch:

Plant this branch into the soil, and every morning dewdrops will form on its leaves, which can only be harvested by humans.

Each drop of harvested dew will, to an extent, accelerate the body’s self-healing abilities, and upon reaching a certain quantity, it can also affect B-level experts.

Please note, consuming the dew produced by the forged World Tree Branch carries a certain probability of growing limbs that do not originally belong to you, or attracting the attention of the Life Goddess. The more you consume, the higher the probability.

Please note, the Forged World Tree Branch will absorb all nearby life as its nourishment. Please do not approach it lightly.]

[2. The Fake Master Bracelet (Damaged):

This bracelet belonged to a B-level Talent Sequence Transcendent who considered himself a Martial Arts Expert.

Upon using this bracelet, you will receive the ’Fake Master’s Blessing’, temporarily obtaining the physical qualities of a B-level strength-oriented Talent Sequence Transcendent.

Please note, possessing this bracelet will lead to severe cognitive dissonance, resulting in skewed perceptions of your current identity and power structure. Long-term possession may lead to madness.]

[3. The Supersonic Levitating Warplane:

A Federation warplane developed by Yiwis Space System Company to combat B-level exotic beasts; the main battery of this warplane is damaged, but the backup battery is usable.]

This time, the system provided rewards with fairly detailed explanations, specifying the effects of use and the accompanying costs, unlike before when it just gave a rough indication.

In the past, He Ao would have had to rely on rewards to see such explanations, but now they were given away for free.

However, the explanations and background information provided for those rewards were more detailed than such generalized explanations.

Strictly speaking, high-level players, while facing increased danger, had indeed unlocked many higher-tier privileges.

Armed with this information, He Ao could better determine whether the rewards suited him.

He Ao’s gaze rapidly swept from top to bottom.

When he saw the "replica of the World Tree Branch," he was momentarily unable to keep his composure.

In the last mission rewards, there was also a "forged page from the Book of Knowledge," which had been fabricated in imitation of a good friend; this time, it was in imitation of the Life Goddess.

What kind of fake goods factory was the system running?

However, He Ao wasn’t particularly surprised to see an item related to the Life Goddess, like the "replica of the World Tree Branch," appearing among the rewards.

According to the system’s rules, every time a Copy World was settled, an item related to that instance would appear in the rewards.

Even without this fake branch, there would be other items related to the Life Goddess.

He Ao’s gaze quickly ran over the detailed information of the "replica of the World Tree Branch."

The advantages and disadvantages of this fake branch were quite clear.

The advantage was that there was no limit on the number of uses; as long as there was enough time, it could eventually accumulate enough dew to treat a C-level injury.

The disadvantage was that this dew might turn people into monsters and might also attract the Life Goddess’s scrutiny.

Besides, the information provided by the system actually hinted at another drawback of the item: "It requires the sacrifice of life."

Firstly, the amount of dew produced by this branch was unpredictable, but it was particularly noted that the branch would absorb life.

Many Transcendent items from the Copy World actually followed some principle of equivalent exchange.

The dew that could heal injuries quickly was probably derived from the life absorbed by this branch.

Therefore, the root ability of this branch was not "generation" but "transmutation."

While the power of this branch was strong, the problems it brought would probably be numerous, and it would attract the Life Goddess’s attention.

He Ao skipped over this reward and looked at the second one.

The "Fake Master Bracelet" appeared to be another counterfeit item, but this time it wasn’t completely fake.

Although Martial Arts were mentioned multiple times within this bracelet, it was fundamentally a Transcendent item and not a Martial Arts-related object.

What He Ao actually cared about was the first sentence of the bracelet’s introduction, "Self-cognition" as a Martial Arts Expert with a Talent Sequence.

Why would a Talent Sequence Transcendent self-identify as a Martial Arts Expert?

One possibility was that the Talent Sequence Transcendent had gone mad and didn’t even know who they were, leading to such cognitive distortion.

Of course, another possibility was that the Talent Sequence Transcendent’s "cognition" had been altered by a Higher Being, causing a difference in perception, which usually resulted in the ultimate conclusion: falling into madness.

He Ao did not know if this power to change cognition existed. If it did, it seemed quite terrifying.

A person whose cognition had been altered would find it difficult to detect the change, silently marching towards madness and death.

He Ao carefully examined the detailed information of the "Fake Master Bracelet."

The function of this bracelet was quite straightforward; it directly granted the user the physical attributes of a B-level Power Type Talent Sequence Transcendent, effectively elevating the user to B-level. However, its side effect was also very straightforward, possibly leading to cognitive disarray in the user.

But for a Talent Sequence Transcendent, such cognitive disarray could be very dangerous.

Based on what He Ao currently understood, once a Talent Sequence Transcendent experienced cognitive disarray and could not maintain their true self, they were highly likely to go insane and mutate into a crazed monster.

The Talent Sequence was not a "docile" power.

He Ao thought for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the last option.

The final one was a technological product, a "Supersonic Levitating Warplane."

Vian’s memory contained information about these types of warplanes.

After all, the Federation had only a few technological items capable of contending with B-level, and Vian had some understanding of them to some extent.

This warplane was a hundred meters long and generally shuttle-shaped, with a top speed exceeding 15 times the speed of sound, driven by a nuclear battery, and equipped with the Federation’s most advanced combat weapons.

If this warplane were in one piece, it would indeed be a great thing.

However, the problem lay in the fact that the main battery provided by the system was already damaged, leaving only the backup battery.

The backup battery of this type of warplane was generally a high-performance compressed battery, which could only maintain the warplane’s flight at the lowest cruising speed for ten minutes.

This battery was originally designed to ensure that the warplane could return smoothly in case of nuclear main battery failure.

Of course, it could indeed be used in actual combat, but at full power, it was estimated it wouldn’t last even a minute.

He Ao’s gaze retracted from the three reward options.

This time the system’s selection of rewards seemed a bit more random, not strictly choosing one from each of the previous ’Talent Sequences,’ ’Martial Arts,’ and ’Technology’

This time, although the second reward option was somewhat related to Martial Arts, it was actually a Transcendant item, so this time there were two Transcendent items and one technological item.

Although the reward phase still retained some of its original appearance, it had actually changed a lot in reality.

Among the three options, He Ao still prioritized the elimination of the warplane.

The warplane was too large and attracted too much attention and, lacking a professional maintenance system and a stable energy source, it wasn’t suitable for He Ao’s current situation.

Then there were only two items left, the false branch and the Master Bracelet.

He Ao hesitated for a moment before making his choice.

[You have chosen ’The Fake Master Bracelet.’]

[The reward has been dispatched, please check carefully.]

The reason for choosing the bracelet was simple: while the healing effect of the fake branch was attractive, it was an auxiliary item, which wouldn’t significantly boost He Ao’s combat power for the time being.

Moreover, it had a fatal flaw: its ’life absorption’ was non-discriminatory, so even if He Ao stood beside it, it would absorb part of his life, and to collect the dew, one would have to do it in person.

That is to say, the person collecting the dew would likely have part of their life absorbed, and if that person weren’t strong enough, they could even be directly drained to a husk.

Paying a price with each use, the cost of such continuous payment could be terrifying when added up.

Furthermore, according to the system description, the dew that would be effective on B-level required a sufficient amount.

So what constituted a sufficient amount?

Following the principle of equivalent exchange, perhaps when the branch absorbed a life total equivalent to that of B-level, it could then produce the corresponding dew.

This meant that using this branch would inevitably lead to causing indiscriminate, large-scale death.

Well, that sounded somewhat illegal.

Therefore, on the whole, He Ao thought the branch wouldn’t be very useful to him at the moment and also posed a risk of breaking the law.

By comparison, the Master Bracelet was much more straightforward and brutal—it didn’t require the sacrifice of life, directly granting B-level power.

Of course, it came with the cost of cognitive errors.

However, through the system’s description, He Ao had already made a rough guess about this ’cognitive error.’

As the system’s text fully appeared, He Ao felt a weight on his wrist, and a green jade bracelet appeared on his wrist.

The bracelet didn’t seem large, but He Ao felt it was slightly heavy, estimating its weight to be around ten kilograms.

As the bracelet appeared, a piece of information also emerged in He Ao’s mind, which was the information that came with the bracelet.

The information stated that using the bracelet could gain B-level strength for three minutes, and after use, the body would enter a state of exhaustion, requiring a seven-day wait for the next charge.

As for the contamination and cognitive errors, there wasn’t a single mention.

In fact, since the bracelet appeared on his wrist, He Ao had felt a noticeable external force attempting to interfere with his thinking.

This force had embedded itself in his thoughts, trying to influence his cognition, making him believe he was a Martial Artist.

To this, He Ao nodded.

He was indeed a Martial Artist.

When the force sensed the change in He Ao’s thoughts, it paused temporarily for two seconds, as if experiencing some kind of lag.

But quickly, the force recovered and tried again to influence He Ao’s cognition, making him believe he was a Transcendent of the Talent Sequences.

To this, He Ao acknowledged.

Because he actually was a Transcendent of the Talent Sequences.

This time, the force again froze in place, halting for more than ten seconds.

Eventually, it seemed that He Ao’s condition exceeded its range of understanding, and it began to attempt to forcefully jumble He Ao’s thinking.

However, this level of disturbance was not much different from some basic contamination.

He Ao had a slight resistance to this kind of contamination, so the force’s disturbance barely affected him.

Actually, when He Ao read the system’s introductory information, he had already made some guesses.

Since the bracelet came from a Transcendent of the Talent Sequences who had changed the cognition of power systems, its own cost was also to change the power system cognition of the user.

Then it’s very likely that its cognition change was meant to induce Talent Sequence Transcendents to believe they were Martial Artists or to induce Martial Artists to believe they were Talent Sequence Transcendents, thus leading to a cognitive error.

But in this world, Talent Sequence Transcendents and Martial Artists were not two opposing forces, and He Ao was both a Talent Sequence Transcendent and a Martial Artist.

He had not only Talent Sequence and Martial Arts powers, but he also had a C-level technological armor suit, which he didn’t just possess—he could also repair it himself.

Kids make choices; adults have it all.

And as the power of the bracelet calmed down, new system subtitles also appeared in He Ao’s vision.

[Detection: Your accumulated Exchange Stars have exceeded 5, Super Exchanger mission has been initiated.]

[Current progress of the Super Exchanger mission: 5/12]

Only at this point did the subtitles in front of him completely disappear.

At the same time, the countdown to the next Copy World also appeared in his vision,

158:19:15

The interval between this Copy World was still seven days.

He Ao rubbed the space between his eyebrows and began to tally up the gains from this Copy World.

In his mind’s Divine Sense, ten strands remained. Although he used most of them in the final battle, there was still a good amount left.

His Soul had been strengthened once again.

Just as he was about to open his personal attribute panel to check, his wristband vibrated.

It was a notification from the Research Institute.

He Ao thought it was a message from someone, but it turned out to be a push notification.

Since when did the Research Institute start doing this sort of thing?

His gaze shifted to the title of the push,

[Shocking! Eighteen-Year-Old Beauty and Mysterious Uncle Actually Did This on a B-level Transcendent Train!!]

He Ao: ¿
