Chapter 276: S-Rank Secret Realm!

Qin Bei looked expectantly at the beast core, which stood like a pyramid in his spiritual space.

There were also quite a few medicinal herbs.

He had stored them away during his time in the Secret Realm.

He had not used them until now.

Now, the time to reap the harvest had arrived.

Qin Bei spread his spiritual power over the beast core and the medicinal herbs.

【Ding, energy-containing substances detected. Does the host wish to sacrifice? This sacrifice is estimated to yield 973 energy points.】

Qin Bei immediately sucked in a mouthful of carbon dioxide.

973, plus the 40-plus he still had left, meant his energy value had broken through into four digits.

Moreover, Qin Bei had a premonition.

Reaching 1000 energy would bring him a little surprise.

"Sacrifice!"

Qin Bei spoke without hesitation, his voice firm and decisive.

Under his gaze, the beast core and medicinal herbs within the mechanical space gradually turned to powder.

The energy within them was absorbed by some unknown force.

On his status panel.

【Host: Qin Bei】

【Race: Human】

【Age: 18】

【Energy: 1015】

【Items: Awakening Flute, Dege Flute, Basha Flute, Garulu Flute...】

【Talent: Mechanical Space】

【Profession: Beast Tamer, Masked Rider】

【Bloodline: Demon Emperor Power】

【Rider Contract Items: Mechanical Bat, Mechanical Locust】

【Matching Count: 0】

【Ding~ Congratulations, host's energy value has reached 1000 for the first time. Do you wish to spend 1000 energy points to upgrade this system?】

The system's voice rang out in Qin Bei's mind.

For some reason.

This time, Qin Bei felt the system's voice was sweeter than before, not as cold as it used to be.

But... Qin Bei's heart felt ice-cold.

1000 energy points, and they hadn't even warmed up yet.

Was the system going to take them back?

Qin Bei's face went pale.

But pale as it was.

Qin Bei began to think seriously.

First, a system update would definitely add some new functions.

But he didn't know what those functions were, or if they would help his strength.

Everything was unknown.

And if he chose not to upgrade.

He would receive ten matching opportunities from the Peideji Society.

The odds of 01 appearing directly would be high.

Who knows, he might even be able to get Satellite Zea and Ark.

If he implanted two satellites inside his body.

He could also try following the path of an Alchemist.

This was Qin Bei's prediction.

So now he was caught in a dilemma.

One option was a visible method to increase his strength, and he might even gain a new profession.

The other was... unknown, but definitely beneficial.

Qin Bei began to ponder carefully.

With the mental enhancement provided by the Shining Assault Locust.

Soon, Qin Bei made a decision in his heart.

Upgrade the system.

The profession of Alchemist was of no use to him whatsoever.

His pet beasts did not need to evolve.

As for a martial artist, he had not yet obtained the cultivation technique needed for subsequent cultivation.

As for the other forms of Zero-One.

That belonged to the unknown.

After all, he had not yet obtained so many of Zero-One's forms.

Given the system's nature, it really might not give him the final form.

So...

"Upgrade system!"

【System upgrading... Estimated time: one hour!】

【1%... 2%... 3%...】

In his mind, the panel appeared before his eyes.

"Only one hour... good, good."

Qin Bei calmed his mood.

He lowered his gaze.

He looked around.

Most people's gazes were fixed on him.

After all, he was the most striking one right now.

To maintain his disguise, he had not yet reverted from his transformation.
