Chapter 71 Rules-Based Treasures (Seeking Recommendations and Monthly Tickets)
On a chair near the door at the round table, a thin, black-robed man wearing a raven mask took out an amethyst cauldron engraved with mysterious runes surrounding a dark, gigantic maw.
He placed it on the table in front of him and introduced it:
"This is a transcendent treasure of the rule system..."
"A rules-based system!?"
"You actually have such good stuff tonight?"
"..."
Before he could finish speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar, and all eyes instantly turned to him.
The rule-based treasure, as the name suggests, exists based on certain rules. As long as you comply with the rules, your efforts will inevitably be rewarded accordingly.
For example, there is a magical box that allows you to exchange 100 cc of blood for 100 kilograms of rice.
Although it looks evil, it follows the principle of equivalent exchange, neither more nor less, essentially a wish-granting machine with a single ability. If used well, it can be used as a conceptual ability to produce amazing results.
However, everyone quickly realized a problem: rule-based treasures are generally extremely precious, and the simplest way to use them is to use them as a means to obtain a certain resource indefinitely.
Some advanced rule-based treasures can even alter the laws of the world.
Many forces, including the Alliance, have been buying up rule-based treasures at high prices, which can easily be exchanged for a large number of rare treasures or top-tier pet cubs, so there is no need for them to offer them up for exchange.
unless……
Lu Yu, hidden beneath the yellow robe, suddenly spoke:
"Things from the 'Spiritual Food' school of thought..."
His words were weathered and tinged with emotion, as if he were reminiscing about someone from a long past.
The man in the raven mask suddenly looked up, staring at the yellow-clad figure with a horrified expression.
"Oh, so that's what it is..."
The others were also reminded of the name, which was not unfamiliar to them.
Every mature professional system has evolved and developed over a long period of time.
The Spiritual Food School is a branch of the early breeder system. Unlike the usual pet food production, they specialize in making spiritual food from extraordinary materials, blending spiritual power within it.
Although it differs from Lu Yu's secret recipe by only one character, their abilities are completely different. He has mastered the power to refine the source, a great miracle.
Spirit food can promote the growth of pets and has magical effects similar to magic potions. However, if magic potions are taken in large quantities, they can easily lead to spiritual disorder and mutation. Spirit food is much gentler and can be taken frequently without any problems.
However, this brilliant school of thought suddenly disappeared one day, and no one knew where they went, or whether they were alive or dead.
However, at their former site, seven world-class treasures containing the power of rules were left behind, possessing terrifying power and attracting many powerful individuals to fight over them.
In the end, two items were taken by the Alliance, one was seized by other schools, one was shattered, and the whereabouts of the last three items are unknown.
These fragments were taken away by many powerful individuals and crafted into high-quality imitations of varying quality, in an attempt to replicate some of their power.
However, these inferior imitations not only have all sorts of harsh usage conditions, but their only ability is to make food.
The spiritual food made from them is merely delicious and of slightly higher quality, but its effect on enhancing the strength of beast tamers is negligible.
The glory of the Food of the Soul school thus faded into silence.
However, these imitations are highly sought after by ordinary people, who call them dream kitchenware, implying that they can be used to make legendary delicacies.
Thinking of this, most of the beast tamers present lost interest. To buy a worthless rule-based treasure just to satisfy their appetites would be far too extravagant. What shocked them even more was that this mysterious "collector" seemed very familiar with items from a hundred years ago, and even somewhat nostalgic for them.
Could he be one of the strong contenders who participated in the competition back then?
An immortal old man who has lived for countless years?
After being exposed, the man in the raven mask could no longer hide the truth and explained:
"That's right, this is a dream kitchen tool called the Gluttony Cauldron. It can improve the quality of the food you make and make it more delicious. The price is that you will randomly lose a part of your body. If you refuse, it will turn into mental pollution for a period of time."
Despite its many flaws, it is the last relic of the Spiritual Food School, and perhaps we can discover ancient traditions within it…”
After hearing about the side effects, many beast tamers simply watched coldly.
The concept of inheritance, regardless of whether one can actually learn it, is that unless it involves the level of laws, it always becomes better and better with further development. It's important to understand that the current nurturing system itself inherited a portion of the research from the Spirit Food School and has reached a new peak after a century of development.
Apart from a few special secret techniques of the Food School, which are of value, the rest are meaningless.
To lose a part of one's body just to satisfy one's appetite, to lose a part of one's body after eating a meal, especially if it is a critical area, such as the eyes, is difficult to repair even with healing methods.
Rejection is like putting a negative buff on yourself, increasing the possibility of distortion.
Only a crazy gourmet would do that.
The man in the raven mask smiled bitterly, sensing the deathly silence; he figured he wouldn't be able to sell them again this time.
However, just as he was about to put it away, Lu Yu spoke again: "It's quite a nice collectible. What do you want?"
The others glanced at him, but considering his identity as a "collector," they thought it made sense.
This strange thing is perfect for being a collectible.
Moreover, judging from the collector's tone, he seems to be one of the contenders from a century ago, and may simply be buying it as a souvenir.
The persona created by Lu Yu began to resonate with people.
The man in the raven mask was taken aback at first, then overjoyed, and quickly said:
"Any soul-type treasure of gold quality or higher will do!"
Even the worst rule-based secret treasures are worth at least one Morning Star-level treasure, but these imitations of the Spirit Food School's world-class secret treasures can only be sold at low prices.
Lu Yu nodded and silently rubbed off a small piece of bark from the Ghost Tree, which he had used dozens of souls to grow during a previous quest. It was useless to the Ghost Tree, but it came in handy now.
He gently pinched the powder between two fingers, then secretly wrapped it in paper and tossed it onto the table.
The man in the raven mask carefully opened it, and with just one glance, he trembled with excitement.
Although the quantity is pitifully small, the essence of the soul contained within is extremely high, making it a versatile ingredient for any soul-based potion and greatly increasing its quality.
This treasure has surpassed the Morning Star rank; it's a material of a higher grade. Moreover, the tree shavings reminded him of the seven legendary divine trees...
He dared not think too much about it. If it really was related to such a top-level existence, then what kind of terrifyingly powerful person was the collector?
The man in the raven mask, filled with fear and the dread that Lu Yu might renege on his promise, nodded vigorously. After the transaction was completed, he became even more suspicious and fearful of being robbed, and left in a hurry without even looking at the remaining goods.
This scene secretly alarmed everyone. Even though materials of the Morning Star rank had appeared several times in the mutual aid meeting, no one was in such a hurry to run away.
What kind of treasure could it be that requires such caution?
A true collector indeed!
Lu Yu calmly accepted the gifts, but his heart was in turmoil, and his hands trembled slightly beneath his yellow robe.
Because of this thing,
It relates to a mythical-level material!
This is a tribute to a book by a friend, written by an older author.
