Chapter 394: Chapter 278 Hundred Flowers Brewed Cloak

"If that’s the case, then is the ’Following the Way of Heaven’ Skill something I could also upgrade in the future?"

He summarized the pattern of events and then opened the System Store interface to check again. Sure enough, he found a new item listed inside, the very Magic Beast Secret—Thunder Strike.

"Magic Beast Secret... The price is 100 points! Oh man, why are beast secrets so expensive in the game, and still so extortionate here too!"

Zhang Xiaoman was very dissatisfied with the System’s prices. He thought that spending 100 points on a pet skill was a foolish move unless one were a fool.

Unfortunately, Jin Bao couldn’t enter the Original Realm now, otherwise, he could have summoned him over and then checked the attribute change of the Thunderstorm Skill.

Setting this matter aside for the moment, Zhang Xiaoman began to look at the remaining two items.

Speaking of which, it was quite coincidental that both of these items were also on board the Dawn.

The first item was the Jade Scroll, which originally contained the System Elf’s will. Later, it was used by him before the Awakening to play the recorded images to deceive others.

Zhang Xiaoman immediately left the Original Realm Space and called the Dawn to his side, from which he retrieved the two items.

First was the Jade Scroll which, after upgrading, should be called Jade Soul.

[Jade Soul]

—A type of advanced recording material. It is made from Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and can not only record more content but is also safer for preservation, making it a cherished item among cultivators above the Golden Core Stage.

The appearance of this item didn’t look much different than before, only that its color was fuller and more rounded.

To Zhang Xiaoman, it did not feel much better than the Jade Scroll; frankly, it was just like upgrading from a small USB drive to a larger one.

He casually injected a wisp of Dark Energy into it and checked whether the recorded image was still present. Finding that it was not lost, he finally felt somewhat reassured.

Zhang Xiaoman opened the Store interface and checked the price of the Jade Scroll; Like Baozi, it was very cheap, just costing 5 points.

At this point, a new idea struck him. Since this Jade Scroll could simulate real scenes, could he not buy it and use it for other purposes?

For example, recording the process of fights with monsters to show to newcomers, which could help them become more familiar and knowledgeable about alien species.

Even more so, Zhang Xiaoman thought of many other functions.

It was just like the contribution evaluation criteria he had considered before. If Star Alliance members could carry such an item during battles in the future, wouldn’t that perfectly replicate the process? This would be much more useful than any camera.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he made a mental note to try them out one by one when he had time later.

Casually stuffing Jade Soul back into the drawer, Zhang Xiaoman turned his attention to the last item in this upgrade, which was also one of the items he most commonly wore.

[Hundred Flowers Brewed Cloak]

Armor 40

Spiritual Power 7

Constitution 2

——With the essence Qi and fragrance of a hundred flowers, it refreshes the heart and spleen; it is indeed a premium product among the Hundred Flowers Brew.

The cloak, this item had finally been upgraded again; in Zhang Xiaoman’s collection of extraordinary items, it could be considered veteran level.

Starting from a white quality wine-stained cloak, it was upgraded step by step, and now, it had become a blue-level item.

In this upgrade, the cloak’s name had changed, from "Hundred Flowers Brewed Cloak" to "Hundred Flowers Fine Brewed Cloak," with an extra word added.

Its overall attributes had increased; the armor increased from 30 points to 40, spiritual power from 5 to 7, and constitution from 1 to 2.

However, this upgrade didn’t include any other special effects. Zhang Xiaoman guessed that if it were to jump from the blue level to the purple level, then new attributes or other enhancements might appear at that time.

Overall, it was still quite satisfactory; two points of spiritual power equaled a 20-point increase in the Dark Energy limit. Moreover, with constitution being an attribute that the higher, the better, it undoubtedly again enhanced Zhang Xiaoman’s strength.

But one thing that depressed him was that after the upgrade, the cloak had increased in size again. Initially, Zhang Xiaoman could barely squeeze it under his clothes when wearing it, but now it seemed impossible to do so.

This meant an awkward situation arose; due to the cloak being too large, it was natural that he couldn’t stuff it into his clothes as before; he had to keep wearing it outside all the time.

But this looked a bit silly; after all, this wasn’t a game where you flaunt around a cloak on the streets every day—what kind of thing was that?

This was somewhat troublesome; wearing the cloak felt too much like a teenage fantasy, yet not wearing it meant missing out on the attributes.

Zhang Xiaoman was conflicted for a moment but eventually simply tossed the cloak back into his bedroom aboard the Dawn, as he didn’t need it now. If he ever truly needed it later, he would just wear it temporarily.

After dealing with the results of this upgrade, Zhang Xiaoman felt it was quite a bargain; he was very satisfied with the upgrades to several skills, and overall, it wasn’t a loss.

...

On the beach by the Seven-star Lakefront, the sound of insects never stopped; the ecological environment here had gradually matured.

The greenery grew more lush, and some rabbit even had a litter of kits, although it was now deep into the night, its charming beauty was hard to conceal.

Zhang Xiaoman floated above the lake surface using anti-gravity, sitting by the cabin door, quietly admiring the scenery for a while.

He stared distantly, lost in thought about his current resources and the upcoming development plans for the Star Alliance until he finally came back to reality after a long time.

"It’s almost 10 pm outside, how time flies..."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at his wristwatch, then stood up and went back into the vehicle, piloting the Dawn to come again before the Final Gate.

Using the Eye of the Starry Sky, he summoned this gate radiating a milky white glow and walked straight into this space that belonged to him, finding the snail being used as a punching bag.

His purpose this time was to try using Contracted Spirit on the creature before he headed home.

Placing his hand on the snail’s shell, Zhang Xiaoman silently activated his skill—a wave of spiritual will also passed through its hard shell.

Actually, for this Contract attempt, he didn’t hold much hope, because the signing of such a Contract needed both parties to be willing.

Although Zhang Xiaoman could kill the snail at any time, he felt that the creature probably wouldn’t respond to him.

After all, it wasn’t like Jin Bao, who could communicate with him, and considering he had used it as a punching bag all day, this didn’t seem like a scenario that would make it willing...
