Chapter 969: Ukiyo-e

Chapter 971: Ukiyo-e

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

There was no doubt that the focus of everyone there was drawn to the four unique rewards for the Golden Side Mission. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Sheyan would probably choose two out of these four options.

[Golden Side Mission unique reward A: Compound high-energy injection of Aldanzo-Keluka-Lulizi (Alkelu)]

[Description: The Alkelu high-energy injection is an extremely valuable medicinal dosage. Even a contestant whose internal potential is already exhausted can use it to improve by leaps and bounds once again; breaking through the boundary of humans! It allows a contestant to instantly become an official Growth Hunter without going through any tests.]

　　****

[Golden Side Mission unique reward B: Ukiyo-e]

(TL: Ukiyo-e is a type of Japanese painting - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e )

[Description: Use your mind to paint a concrete image on this blank canvas. The creature being portrayed and locked on will be instantly summoned to you. If the creature is friendly, you will be charged 1,000 utility points/hour. If the creature is hostile, 10-50 achievement points and 50,000-200,000 utility points will be deducted from you at the moment of summoning, based on the creature's strength. The summoning will last for 8-25 minutes. The stronger the creature, the shorter the duration of its stay.]

[Description: Ukiyo-e will not work on dead creatures. You will not be able to summon a creature in an environment harmful to it (for example, you can't summon a Balrog in the ocean, or summon an aquatic creature on a volcanic crater, or summon a creature while high up in the air so that it would fall to its death, and so on).]

[Description: If you kill a creature using the Ukiyo-e, the consequences will be the same as publicly killing the creature in its native world.]

[Description: The Ukiyo-e can be used for a maximum of 3 times.]

　　*****

[Golden Side Mission unique reward C: Tearstone Solution - Plating]

[Description: Tearstones originated from the depths of black holes and can only be collected using unmanned miniature mining spacecrafts. Each bottle required almost 200 unmanned miniature mining spacecrafts to collect, hence its staggering value.]

[Description: Apply it to an equipment. There will be a 100% chance to upgrade a silver storyline equipment to dark gold grade, and a 20% chance to upgrade a dark gold equipment to gold storyline grade.]

(TL note: Equipment grade order: white < light blue < dark blue < black < silver storyline < dark green (set equipment) / dark gold (a complete set of dark green equipment is comparable to dark gold) < light green (upgradable equipment) < gold storyline. There are other grades above gold storyline but they have yet to appear.)

[Description: Even if the upgrading fails, it will not cause any harm to your equipment. Furthermore, it will enhance your equipment by +1 ]

[Golden Side Mission unique reward D: Puppet of Photography]

[Rarity: Dark Gold]

[Origin: The worlds of horror films such as The Ring]

[Material: plastic / metal / resentment / ghost]

[Addons: powerful high-energy source]

[Equipment position: Arm]

[Type: Item]

[Weight: 79.6 g]

[Usage requirements: All base attributes no lower than 30]

[Property: Perceptive Sense / Agility / Intelligence +5]

[Property: Explosive hit rate / Hit rate +3%]

[Active ability: Photograph - Consume 50 + 15% of current MP to take an instantaneous photograph of the enemy, cooldown time 1 minute. There are three possible situations after the taking the photograph.]

[Situation 1: Failure to photograph. If the enemy is a storyline character, they will be thoroughly provoked and will fervently attack you.]

[Situation 2: This will be the most common case. The photography process is successful and you get a clear photo. If you attack the photo, the enemy will also be subjected to a violent attack. The photo has zero defence by default and can only sustain a certain amount of damage before turning into ashes. This damage amount will not exceed 25% of the victim's HP (for contestants), or 30,000 HP (for storyline characters).]

[Situation 3: The photography process is very successful and you get a perfect photo. A perfect photograph can sustain double the amount of damage. In addition, when the person in the photograph was inflicted with a negative condition, the real person may be affected too (for example, if the victim's leg is torn off in the photograph, the real person's leg may be disabled or suffer other negative conditions too.)]

[Description: The Puppet of Photography can only possess two photos at the same time.]

[Description: This is a camera with a powerful curse and terrible grievances lingering on it. Choking its throat was equivalent to pressing the shutter, and when its sinister eyes flash, the puppet can cut off part of the enemy's soul and seal it in a film, causing great damage to the enemy.]

Besides the Alkelu high-energy injection which could transform a contestant into a Growth Hunter right away, Sheyan had never seen the other 3 Golden Side Mission unique rewards.

Sheyan did not hesitate to use one of his valuable choices on the Ukiyo-e.

Most people would use the Ukiyo-e to summon a particular Boss class character such as Dumbledore or Gandalf - those powerful legendary magicians who had a lot minions and had crazy high DPS but were weak in melee battles!

It's not impossible to slay a godly character if the proper arrangements were made. It's at least a hundred times easier than rushing into Hogwarts to get Dumbledore out. Under normal circumstances, killing one's way to Dumbledore was an insurmountable task.

However, for Sheyan, he would definitely use the Ukiyo-e to summon Melody. If he could summon Melody over and have her pin the relevant coordinates for dimensional teleportation, the time required to activate the inter-dimensional teleport formation could be reduced by at least 50%! It could at least be done in the foreseeable future!

Zi and Sanzi were puzzled by Sheyan's decisiveness in selecting the Ukiyo-e. Mogensha and Reef knew why, but of course they chose to keep quiet.

Sanzi frowned and said, "Since you've chosen the Ukiyo-e, your next choice has to be option C: Amnesty. You can use this to complete the main mission of the Bloody World."

But Sheyan shook his head. "The rewards for the Bloody World main mission are probably base attribute points, achievement points, utility points, or a combination of them. It may not be as good as the choices here."

"But if you can't complete the main mission of the Bloody World, you might be killed," said Sanzi with his brows furrowed.

"I won't. I've already considered the possibility. The only penalty for the Bloody World is the death penalty, which will only apply if a participant didn't possess at least three Bloody Invitation Letters within 30 days. I've already fulfilled that condition on my third day in the Bloody World. That's why, I might not even be punished for failing the main mission."

"Are you sure?" asked Zi with a frown.

Sheyan smiled in response. "I'm positive. I've just looked into this matter using my rank of a Lieutenant Colonel."

The remaining choice was very hard to make because every option seemed so powerful that missing out on them would cause lifelong regret. Fortunately, Reef came up with a good idea. "I heard that a Lieutenant Colonel can use the auction house function. Why don't you go have a look and check out the market prices for these things?"

The auction house could only be used by people who had reached a certain status. An additional fee had to be paid after a successful transaction using the official auction house, but it also made transactions much faster and more convenient. Sheyan carefully inspected the items one by one and found that in the auction house, the one with the highest price was actually the 'Compound High-Energy Injection of Aldanzo-Keluka-Lulizi'!

This item could allow one to directly break through the barrier between a contestant and a Growth Hunter, and it was the most popular one. Numerous heroes would bend over backwards to get their hands on one.

The second most expensive one among the rewards was actually the unique reward C: Tearstone Solution - Plating! It seemed that anything remotely related to gold storyline equipment was valuable.

Sheyan struggled with the choices for a long time, and finally asked the realm if they could give him a bit more time. The realm actually said that it would be fine as long as he chose the reward before entering the next world. Sheyan decided to put the matter aside for now, because this was something which required high-intensity mental work. He would take a good, long sleep and collect all the information he needed to help him make the best judgement.

The main mission of the Bloody World had also disappeared by itself. It seemed like Sheyan had escaped from that problem unscathed.

At that moment, Sanzi's facial muscles suddenly twitched. "Bro, they're looking for me."

Sheyan's pupil contracted. "Oh, that fast? Seems like those people value you very much. They actually responded so quickly after receiving news of your resignation."

Reef and Mogensha were suddenly full of energy. They looked like bandits who couldn't wait to reap some profit and divide the spoils. They were truly rotten to the core, thought Sheyan. Sheyan coughed twice, prompting the two to reign in the greedy expressions on their faces, but they still kept whispering in secret. The party was led by Sanzi to the square, where a large fellow wearing a yellow bee headgear strode up to them. The man stopped in front of the group and, folding his hands in front of his chest, said arrogantly, "How dare you steal our member!"

"Who are you?" asked Mogensha in a very annoying tone.

Headgear man, of course, heard the mocking tone in Mogensha's voice. But he ignored Mogensha and instead went towards Sanzi. He tried to grab Sanzi while yelling at him furiously. "You fool! If big sis finds out about this, you'll get beaten up for sure! Even if it's not your fault!"

But Sheyan had already stepped forward to block headgear man's path. Seeing this, headgear man laughed out loud, although the laugh was filled with a chilly intent.

"Well, well. Someone actually wanted to challenge me!"

Before headgear man had even finished his sentence, a rumbling drum had already sounded in the air. A black flag appeared before them and planted itself heavily on the ground. On the flag was a picture depicting two sharp blades crossing each other, seemingly formed by blood that had dried! It exuded a sense of repression and terror.

"KILL, KILL, KILL!!!"
