Chapter 160: Golden Town: The Promised Land (3k First Update)

"Ho, a quite interesting treasure map."

"Appraising this thing will also cost a bit of Magic Power."

The fairy flapping her wings sat with her legs crossed, while the 【Treasure Map of the Mysterious Sea】 in Bai Cangshu's Backpack floated in the air, shimmering with radiance.

【Do you wish to spend 3000 Dimension Points to appraise the item: Treasure Map of the Mysterious Sea?】

"Yes."

In the Infinite Dimensional Space, a powerful Reincarnator can be said to spend money like water; no matter how many resources you earn, you can spend them all within the Space.

The fairy received the Dimension Points and tapped lightly with her finger; golden Magic Power fell into the treasure map like a golden speck of light, and subsequently, a circle of golden light waves rippled out from the treasure map.

【Appraisal complete.】

【You have obtained the item: Golden Town · Promised Land (Special Item · Rare)】

【Golden Town · Promised Land】

【Quality: Rare (Special Item)】

【Description: A special treasure map circulated in the Pirate Derivative World and its variants, pointing to the legendary Golden Town.】

【Effect 1: Before deployment begins, spend 1 C-rank Singularity to activate the treasure map; your deployment mission world will be re-anchored to the Pirate Derivative World.】

【Effect 2: In the Pirate Derivative World, this treasure map will display specific location coordinates.】

Bai Cangshu was not too surprised when he received this treasure map, which bore a distinct skull-shaped sea area mark.

Given the nature of the Infinite Dimensional Space, treasure maps of this kind on the high seas are highly likely to be from the Pirate Derivative World or the Pirates of the Caribbean Derivative World.

Golden Town clearly corresponds to the content of 【Big Talker · Roland】; this Promised Land refers to the promise and agreement between the Navigator Roland and the great Sandia warrior Kalgara.

But following the Golden Town of Jaya Island being blown into the sky by the Giant Ocean Current, Roland was ultimately branded a 【Big Talker】 by the King of the Lubnir Kingdom in the North Sea and executed, leaving his name to stink for eternity.

The great warrior Kalgara, meanwhile, led the Sandia people on the Sky Island to begin centuries of resistance and bloodshed because the Golden Town had been occupied by Sky Islanders.

Bai Cangshu glanced at the treasure map twice and then put it away; the greatest value of this item does not lie in any treasure of the Golden Town.

For a Reincarnator, the importance of things like gold is no longer that high; for a Reincarnator who has completely abandoned legal and moral constraints, it is not very difficult to obtain some money.

Of course, if a Reincarnator has a way to obtain the entire Golden Town, they would likely also obtain a fairly high-level Singularity at the same time, and because gold possesses a certain occult status in magic and alchemy-related worlds, its value would exceed Bai Cangshu's current estimate.

But for most Reincarnators, the preciousness of this treasure map is entirely reflected in Effect 1; the ability to anchor a Reincarnator to the 【Pirate Derivative World】 is precious enough.

The 【Pirate Derivative World】 is not only vast but also possesses a relatively complete system of physical technique training; for low-tier Reincarnators, a sufficiently high ceiling is enough to help them get through the early and middle stages.

And the special power system known as 【Haki】 also has broad adaptability.

Not to mention the existence of the secret treasure of the sea—the 【Devil Fruit】.

"Golden Town, huh. I wonder how the timeline will be set by the Space..."

Bai Cangshu cleared out the trivial supplies on his person, keeping only the initial 【Doom Knocking】 among his firearms; he had not spent time or resources researching Shooting Mastery, and at the same time, due to his acquisition of 【Killing Intent Perception】 and 【Six Styles · Iron Block】, low-level firearms were already very ineffective for him.

Therefore, Bai Cangshu did not intend to invest many resources in this area; the negative effect of 【Doom Knocking】 reducing Shooting Mastery had little impact on him, and on the contrary, that special effect could occasionally allow Bai Cangshu to obtain unexpected results.

After this round of training and trading, he still had 2 B-rank Singularities, 3 C-rank Singularities, 3 D-rank Singularities, and 1 E-rank Singularity, while his Dimension Points had fallen to 16,350 due to the huge cost of training per minute.

He had also converted some resources that could have been sold for E-rank Singularities into Dimension Points in order to reserve resource space for 【Secret Treasure: Curse Blood Homology】.

It was truly because he had stayed in the Training Institute much longer than he had imagined this time.

After the double C-rank sparring partners were activated, the Dimension Points consumed per minute increased from 50 to 50*3; Bai Cangshu calculated reasonably that if he were to continue using this method to improve himself in the future...

The consumption of Dimension Points would become an astronomical figure.

Of course, this massive consumption of resources also allowed Bai Cangshu's strength to improve rapidly.

In just a few mission cycles, he already possessed terrifying stats with all attributes approaching the limit of the First Tier in his normal state; at the same time, numerous high-level abilities and innate combat instincts gave Bai Cangshu combat power at the Breaking the Rules level.

Killing a Second Tier Reincarnator like 【Mojiang】, whose compatibility was countered by him, would not even result in much injury.

Bai Cangshu turned and returned to the Public Space; by this time, he had already used up more than an hour of his allotted stay in the Public Space for this visit, and if he were not already a Star-level Reincarnator, he would have long been unable to remain.

Tao Baibai was currently in the limelight, and wherever he went, someone would recognize him.

He had just come out of the Appraisal Office when someone spoke to him flippantly.

"Tao Baibai, a guy like you actually joined the ranks of that woman Luo Xi?"

"Hey, did she give you some special treatment?"

The person speaking was a cat-person with a tail growing from behind; with such a special appearance, it was impossible to judge whether it was purely an Avatar or if the other party possessed some kind of Bloodline.

Bai Cangshu's face was indifferent, and he didn't even have the interest to speak to such a nobody; he walked straight ahead, acting as if he couldn't see the other party standing in front of him, his eyes and gait completely unchanged.

Hum!

The space distorted instantly, and Bai Cangshu took a step forward, yet the other party twisted strangely, preventing the two from colliding; Bai Cangshu walked straight through the other party's so-called position and left the front of the 【Appraisal Office】.

This is a passive setting of absolute peace in the Public Space; Reincarnators cannot even make contact with each other in places outside of their Private Space, unless an agreement is reached through the Space.

As for those who capture Plot Characters for prostitution, or Reincarnators who sell their own bodies, they will invite the other party into their Private Space or a team/Gathering space.

In those places, the rules are relatively much more flexible.

The cat-person 【KK】 had a gloomy expression; he felt as if he could hear the surrounding Reincarnators laughing at him, and those Information Brokers would surely spread this scene as after-dinner gossip.

"Siba!"

【KK】 was not entirely a nobody; in a certain mission cycle, he had once obtained a decent reward and cooperated with the Fierce Person 【Jiebo】 at the time.

This made him less fearful of these Fierce Persons rumored in the outside world than other Reincarnators; he had wanted to cooperate with the newly promoted Fierce Person Tao Baibai, as he possessed some quite astonishing Intelligence.

A certain Reincarnator's identity in the real world was likely quite astonishing; if one could unite with a Fierce Person to hunt them down, the gains would be immeasurable.

It was just a pity that this Tao Baibai had "failed" his trust.

【KK】 looked at Tao Baibai with resentment; the other party had already entered the 【Rank Management Office】, while 【KK】 turned to contact others, but he did not see that outside the Shanty Town, several Information Brokers were observing him vaguely.

"Oh?"

"I didn't expect that what you touched was the 【Constitution】 Extreme Value."

Knight Girl supported her chin with her hand, making a thoughtful expression; in her view, a Reincarnator like Bai Cangshu should have touched the Agility or Strength Extreme Value instead.

"Is there a problem with the 【Constitution】 Extreme Value, Miss Knight?"

Knight Girl shook her head.

"There is, of course, no problem with the Constitution Extreme Value; most of those who touch the Constitution Extreme Value are fellows with extremely formidable physiques, and you naturally satisfy this as well."

"After crossing the Constitution Extreme Value, one generally obtains a fairly powerful damage immunity ability; there are also some rare ones that will cause a Reincarnator's body to possess certain peculiar biological traits, such as possessing special Adaptation to extreme environments, making it possible to survive in magma, the deep sea, or a vacuum from then on."

Hearing this answer, Bai Cangshu understood the division of power between the First Tier and Second Tier of the space a little more clearly.

To explain it in layman's terms, this is roughly the boundary between ordinary and transcendent within the space's judgment.

20 points in a single attribute is recognized by the space as the limit state that an ordinary creature can grow to, and this node is defined as the Extreme Value; creatures that touch the Extreme Value have touched the threshold of the transcendent.

After crossing the Extreme Value, a Reincarnator can not only use attributes with higher efficiency, but will also obtain obvious Chao-fan Te-zheng.

The things described by Knight Girl are all Tese of Constitution-type transcendent creatures.

Bai Cangshu thought of his own special situation and asked:

"Can a Reincarnator cross multiple Extreme Values and obtain multiple Tese?"

Knight Girl shook her head.

"Every evolution of a creature is an irreversible act; when a Reincarnator crosses an Extreme Value, it is an evolution of the essence of life, and before reaching the next stage, one naturally cannot evolve again."

Bai Cangshu understood the meaning in the other party's words, and therefore...

"Then, what would happen if my four-dimensional attributes all touched the Extreme Value at the same time?"

Bai Cangshu actually did not need Knight Girl's answer, as he already had the answer in his heart.

Knight Girl also revealed an energetic smile.

"That kind of perfect creature will naturally obtain a perfect evolution."

Bai Cangshu revealed a satisfied smile; he nodded and repeated Knight Girl's definition.

"Perfect creature..."

"I like this title."

Bai Cangshu returned once again to the manor in the forests of Myanmar North; he lay on a rocking chair, swaying slowly, his state of mind very relaxed.

"Bai Laoda!"

"The Undying Grass has been located!"

Lin Qinfu leaned on his crutch, enduring the pain as he climbed to the second floor, only to discover that that Bai Fengzi was actually closing his eyes on the rocking chair, seemingly asleep.
