Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 221: Chapter 137: Journey to Hell

The Divine Showcase was quiet for about five seconds, and suddenly there was some movement. Its door slowly caved in, as if someone was forcing it open.

And another mysterious force was resisting this force.

Xiahou Fuxing was a bit confused. He looked at the cabinet, then at Baiyi, and asked in confusion, ”What’s going on?”

Baiyi didn’t reply, quietly waiting, and after a long time, along with a humming sound of space.

Xiahou Fuxing suddenly received information on his panel.

[Game balance mechanism triggered, your wish for the Divine Showcase is invalid. From now on, wishing and utilizing any dangerous items cannot exceed the total value you possess.]

With this panel appearing, the Divine Showcase slowly reverted to its original appearance, but the cold atmosphere had diminished a lot.

Xiahou Fuxing was stunned, looked at Baiyi and said, ”Mr. Baiyi, it seems to have failed.”

Baiyi glanced at Xiahou Fuxing’s live broadcast room, sighed a bit, as expected, the panel was indeed more powerful.

He smiled and said, ”I know, but it seems you weren’t punished. Do you want to try again? You can try asking questions, this should be simpler.”

Xiahou Fuxing nodded. Although a bit disappointed, he wasn’t discouraged. It would be great if something miraculous happened, but it’s fine if not, because the popularity now is already something he has longed for.

He stepped forward, pulled out that tentacle again, looked at his panel with 0.18 Gold Coins, and decisively deposited the fifty Gold Coins given by Baiyi into the panel.

Then he excitedly wrote: [Give me fifty Gold Coins, thank you!]

After writing, he put the tentacle back inside, closed the door, and waited excitedly. He really had fifty Gold Coins, so this shouldn’t be over the limit, right?

This time the Divine Showcase didn’t make them wait long. Quickly, the lower part of the cabinet opened, and a bag of Gold Coins fell out with a thud.

Xiahou Fuxing’s eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the bag, decisively storing it on the panel.

Immediately, the number of Gold Coins on his panel reached 100.18.

”Amazing, truly amazing, Mr. Baiyi, can I still use this thing?” he asked excitedly.

”Give it a try.” Baiyi seemed thoughtful, curious about what the punishment for a player’s mission would be, since the Divine Showcase seemed unable to gain Destiny and Soul from players, and players seemed indifferent to death.

If a life could be traded for doubled assets, then perhaps the Divine Showcase would directly go bankrupt.

Xiahou Fuxing eagerly tried to open the door, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t move it an inch.

After about three seconds, another cabinet door of the Divine Showcase opened, and an identical tentacle stretched out, with crooked Dawn script on it.

Also at this moment, task information appeared on Xiahou Fuxing’s panel.

[Mission: Showcase Exchange.

Attribute: Dangerous Mission.

Mission requirements: Capture a giant within seven days and submit it to the Divine Showcase.

Success reward: None.

Failure penalty: All attributes permanently decreased by 10%.

Introduction: In a greedy exchange, you seem to have been at a disadvantage from the start. Continuing the trade might lead you into the abyss.]

Xiahou Fuxing was dumbfounded. He looked at the tentacle extended by the Divine Showcase, which said [Give me a giant.]

Then he looked at Baiyi, a bit confused. A mission without rewards, and the difficulty seems very high, since players seem to have never seen a giant.

That is a race rejected by order. Where is he going to find a giant to submit to this showcase?

Baiyi had a thoughtful look in his eyes; the price players pay seemed even lower than he imagined.

No, that’s not right. The effect of the Divine Showcase is a ’fair’ exchange, so in the eyes of the Divine Showcase, an unrestricted-level giant = fifty Gold Coins.

If Baiyi gave Xiahou Fuxing a Large Soul Crystal Core and requested the Divine Showcase for a Large Soul Crystal Core, then perhaps the penalty wouldn’t be -10% attributes, but directly -100%?

”Mr. Baiyi, what should I do? I’ve never seen a giant...”

Xiahou Fuxing was on the verge of tears. With the current wave of popularity, he could become a moderately successful streamer, but if his game character is too weak, he can’t keep the popularity for long.

Baiyi roughly understood the restrictions of the panel and the Divine Showcase. He smiled and said, ”Don’t worry, go to the Storm Legion’s station and wait. I’ll have someone catch a giant for you. Thanks for your help this time.”

[Chaotic Experiment (Completed)]

[You have leveled up to Level 7.]

The continuous panel prompts cheered Xiahou Fuxing up a bit, and with Baiyi’s promise, he immediately returned to his energetic state: ”Thank you, Mr. Baiyi. Call me if there’s another good thing like this next time. But it seems like the giant has to be given to this showcase. Can I come back then?”

”Don’t worry, someone will bring you back.”

Baiyi said, his terrifying spiritual power surged out, directly sending Xiahou Fuxing out of this area.

He picked up the Divine Showcase and walked towards the Modified Legion, put it in the legion’s Treasure Vault, then sent a message to the Storm Legion to catch giants and send people to seal off the Hell Erosion Zone.

Finally, he went to the City Lord’s Mansion.

The City Lord’s Mansion was empty now. Baiyi planned to let Evil Thought learn a set of skills before summoning himself in that instance.

Evil Thought’s combat power is key, and this crisis might not only be the devil’s game but might also require battle.
