Chapter 60: Upgrading Talents

The two of them stayed in the pitch-black space for ten minutes, but the matching was still not complete; however, the pitch-black space seemed to have gained quite a few players, and their conversations could be heard.

After confirming that he would not die once the duration of the Undead Pact ended, Zhu Zhiquan fell fast asleep in the carriage early on.

Zhao Yuxin, on the other hand, did not sleep so early because she had contacted Sun Zi and Ling Xi. "Sister Ling Xi, are you saying that the one surnamed Luo made the Fire Qilin's weakness public?"

Ling Xi replied: "That's right. When the Fire Qilin first appeared, Luo Jinrui announced on the World Channel that the Fire Qilin was afraid of the cold. Didn't you see it?"

Zhao Yuxin rubbed her nose awkwardly, but for the sake of her pride, she boasted: "Hmph! Who are you looking down on! I could handle that Fire Qilin single-handedly and rub that so-called Fire Qilin into the ground! Who needs a weakness?"

Ling Xi only replied with an "um," then told Zhao Yuxin that she was going offline to sleep. Zhao Yuxin yawned and said to the Ice Cream Cactus: "Baobao, you are responsible for driving after we go out, okay?"

"Mm~"

"Mm~"

The Ice Cream Cactus protested to Zhao Yuxin with a reluctant expression.

Zhao Yuxin coaxed: "Be good, I'll make you three ice creams and a bag of fertilizer, how about that?"

Hearing that there was ice cream and fertilizer to eat, the Ice Cream Cactus nodded immediately, fearing that Zhao Yuxin would go back on her word.

Zhao Yuxin gave the Ice Cream Cactus the promised ice cream and fertilizer, then continued: "Be good, I'll give you more ice cream and fertilizer after we wake up, okay?"

After the Ice Cream Cactus agreed, Zhao Yuxin leaned against Zhu Zhiquan and slept together.

Just half a minute after Zhao Yuxin lay down, a system announcement rang out throughout the space: "Ding! Matching successful. Teleportation to the next world is about to begin. Countdown starting."

"10"

"9"

"8"

…………

"2"

"1"

When the countdown ended, a white light lit up in the pitch-black space. The next second, Zhu Zhiquan and the others, along with their tricycle, were teleported to an underground location. At this moment, they were stopped on a reddish-brown road, with magma flowing 20 meters below.

"Greetings, players. First, congratulations on passing the previous world. The number of people has now been replenished to 3,000. Finally, I give you a main quest—reach the surface before 9:00 PM on the seventh day. Good luck."

The Ice Cream Cactus used the light from the magma to drive up along the road and didn't go far before encountering a Material Box.

"Mm?" The Ice Cream Cactus turned its head to look at the carriage. At this time, Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan were sleeping soundly. The Ice Cream Cactus clearly remembered that every time they encountered one, they would get out of the car to open this thing, and then they would bring various things up.

Thinking that they liked them so much, it would be better to open it for them. Thinking of it, it did it. The Ice Cream Cactus stopped the car and wanted to open the Material Box. Unfortunately, it tried for a long time but couldn't open it, so it had no choice but to put it back into the carriage.

……………

In the morning, as soon as Zhu Zhiquan got up, he saw several more Material Boxes beside him, and in the driver's seat, the Ice Cream Cactus had already fallen asleep on the tricycle handlebars.

"So plants need to sleep too." Zhu Zhiquan muttered a sentence and opened all the Material Boxes, obtaining three units of Level 2 Metal, one unit of Chip, three units of electronic parts, and five bottles of water.

Zhu Zhiquan's eyes lit up, because this meant his tricycle had a chance to be upgraded.

Afterwards, Zhu Zhiquan picked up a rope and prepared to pull the Ice Cream Cactus into the carriage. As soon as he got out of the car, he felt a wave of heat coming.

Zhu Zhiquan looked around again and discovered that he was inside a Volcano, and the narrow road could only allow two tricycles to pass side by side.

Zhu Zhiquan used the light from the magma to pedal the tricycle while flipping through the information on the World Channel.

"Ajiu, focus on driving!" Zhao Yuxin's lazy voice came over.

Zhu Zhiquan responded and said to Zhao Yuxin: "Azhao, the system wants us to reach the surface within seven days."

"Ha~ got it, you drive slowly, I'll sleep a while longer." Zhao Yuxin lay lazily in the carriage, sleeping in.

Zhu Zhiquan then continued to pedal the tricycle while watching the World Channel.

Sleeping in Class Is Nice: "Wow~ I'm so abstract! The Fire Qilin in the previous desert world almost killed me!"

Huahua: "Me too, that Fire Qilin was really so tanky! Even though I used its weakness, I still couldn't move it."

Thunder Python Group? Thunder Python Group Vice Leader: "Our Thunder Python Group is established today. Those who want to join us, please contact me via private message."

Merchant Group? Merchant Group Leader: "The Merchant Group is recruiting new members. Players who like to do business can contact me. When the time comes, we will grow big and strong together in this world and create brilliance!"

Star Chasing Brigade? Star Chasing Brigade Leader: "A new group is recruiting. Our Star Chasing Brigade hopes to reach the peak of the world with everyone in the upcoming journey."

Duyan Chuanzhang: "I'm curious, how did they establish a team?"

………………

Zhu Zhiquan was also puzzled about how they established a team, but it didn't matter. Anyway, he just wanted to be a lone wolf and had no interest in establishing a team.

Just then, there was a White Supply Box in front, and from inside, he opened two cards and one unit of wood. One of the cards was called a Team Building Card, and the other was called a Primary Talent Upgrade Card.

Name: Team Building Card

Quality: Blue

Introduction: Hello youngster, want to form a team? Now the system can satisfy your team formation………

Zhu Zhiquan ignored the rest of the introduction and looked directly at the Primary Talent Upgrade Card.

Name: Primary Talent Upgrade Card

Quality: Blue

Introduction: After use, you can choose one talent to upgrade based on its original value, selecting one from three options as the upgrade direction. Trust me, as a player, you will definitely like it.

Zhu Zhiquan put the Team Building Card on the Trading Channel, letting players private message him with their offers, and then thought about which talent to upgrade.

Name: Zhu Zhiquan (Taiquan Xiaozhu)

Physique: 9 (89%)

Strength: 9 (68%)

Speed: 10 (—)

Magic Power: 5 (Hell Body bonus)

Talents: Boiling Blood, Undead Pact*8, Hell Walker, Nightmare Demon Eye, Hell Body

Health Points: 17%

Introduction: Congratulations, congratulations~ One of your attributes has reached the human peak. To increase this attribute, besides special talents or items and equipment, you must obtain a Transcendence path to improve it.

Zhu Zhiquan analyzed: (I won't rush with Boiling Blood and Nightmare Demon Eye for now; after all, the cost is a bit high. If the cost increases even more after upgrading, I might not be able to handle it.

Although Undead Pact can allow me to be in an Undying Body for a certain period, if my damage output isn't enough, what good is living longer?

As for Hell Walker... I just feel the limitations are too great; after all, it only works on demons and ghost-type entities. I feel choosing Hell Body is still the best.)

Zhu Zhiquan used the Primary Talent Upgrade Card to upgrade Hell Body, and the Primary Talent Upgrade Card transformed into a screen to begin analyzing the modification plan for Hell Body.

Soon, three options remained on the panel, and Zhu Zhiquan began to carefully examine the effects of the three options.
