Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 480: Chapter 248: Version 2.0 Meeting (Part 2)

Occasionally, a scholar would appear, but even at their peak, they would stop at the Seven-Star level. In today’s world where Arcane Magic is widespread, the performance of a Seven-Star goblin is... rather lackluster...

”That’s it then.” Baiyi cut off the communication and then sent some coordinates to Metheus.

After taking care of this matter, Baiyi returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, handed some items to Luoning, and left.

Luoning’s attributes were becoming increasingly remarkable.

Baiyi gave a bottle of Lucky Potion to both her and Aileen.

Now Aileen’s Luck Value reached 19, while Luoning’s was 55.

Maybe because her Luck Value was too high, the potion didn’t provide its full benefit, but it was still astonishing enough.

A luck of 55, that’s already sufficient to have a very significant special effect.

Under Aisha’s guidance, she even began to alter the destinies of ordinary people, turning future uncertainties into some level of certainty.

This is terrifying, proving that this Silver Middle Tier Divination Master already possessed golden characteristics, if not higher.

Baiyi didn’t dwell on it much; within this half-month, he had already mastered the basics of the smallest laser cannon on the Star Sea Battleship.

Just this laser cannon alone increased his skill level by three thousand, along with the high skill level bonus from the new version of Sun Salutation.

His Alchemy Technology reached [Grandmaster-level Alchemy Technology (1300/100000)]

Now it was time to focus on Alchemy Potion Making.

There’s still over forty thousand skill level left, plus one special skill point.

Baiyi turned his attention to some special techniques; the methods of extracting Faith provided by the Sun Federation are very powerful.

There are also many energy extraction techniques in Potion Making, and Baiyi plans to integrate them to create some high-tier techniques unique to him.

Energy extraction, whether in Potion Making, Technology, or Transformation Science, each has its methods.

Such high-tier techniques are certainly crucial for a Golden Alchemist.

And the special skill point, Baiyi plans to assign it to this energy extraction method.

The source of the panel is unknown, but his deduction must be toward a more profound level.

Looking at the one special skill point and 67 ordinary skill points he has left, they should be enough to reach Grandmaster Level.

”Is it ending?”

”Yeah, it’s over.”

Half a month later, Demacia, the Guard Brigade, Xiahou Fuxing, and some seasoned players gathered together.

They looked at the dwindling countdown time, feeling a bit melancholic in a forest outside Dongwu City.

”If you have too many complaints about this world~ when you fall down...”

A whiff of fragrance drifted over, making these players keep looking toward the direction of the humming.

It was Xiahou Fuxing, the food blogger, who had taken on the role of head chef for this farewell meal over the past two months, and he liked to cook, but even more, he liked watching others be amazed by his food.

He hummed to himself as he prepared the meal, his three-meter-tall frame beside the gigantic pot making it seem like a demon cooking up some unsavory brew.

”Brother Xiahou, is it ready yet? We’re all feeling hungry with nostalgia.”

”Almost, almost.”

”Remember to make something vegetarian for Er Shu, tsk, my summoned creatures are all strange, plants only eat animals, animals only eat plants...” Demacia couldn’t help but complain.

His luck is something else; in battles, he relies entirely on summoned creatures, even charging with a Magic Staff himself as a Summoner.

On the downside, the Demon Swallowing Flower, once matured, has a minimum strength of Bronze Upper Tier, potentially growing to Silver Upper Tier strength; with the Summoner’s support, it can reach Golden power.

While this strength is not weak to the natives, it’s definitely overpowered for players.

The other creature has no combat capability whatsoever and is extremely timid, but its high Luck Value has helped Demacia avoid many crises and find numerous treasures.

”Aren’t you going to say goodbye?” Flowers of the Other Shore looked at the sky, asking.

”No need, it’s not as if we won’t see each other again, just two months, it’ll pass quickly, and after this meal, it can return to its peaceful world.” Demacia said, though his eyes still showed some reluctance.

”It might not just be two months.”

Guard Brigade suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of the others.

”Dinner’s ready, come try my cooking.”

Xiahou Fuxing carried a massive pot over to the table; nowadays, Xiahou Fuxing has a Space Ring, always stocked with tables and chairs. If the Space Ring didn’t require three million Contribution Points to exchange for one, they would have bought them long ago.

”You mean the flow of time?”

”What are you talking about? Discussing such high-level topics at this time?” Xiahou Fuxing took a seat on a specially made bench for L-shaped Warriors, asking enthusiastically.

”Just talking about the next two months...” Reverse Journey quietly explained to Xiahou Fuxing, then eagerly looked back at Guard Brigade, waiting for the master’s explanation.

”Yes, the flow of time.” Guard Brigade took a bite of Cloud Rhinoceros Horse meat, his eyes brightening slightly; after swallowing a mouthful, he continued: ”From the closed beta to the 1.0 server shutdown for two months, over half a year passed in Xia’s time.”

”This brought up one concept, a natural day.”

”Natural day means, unaffected by any factors, focusing on the day as our world’s mainframe. If it’s Xia World’s natural day, then it’s unaffected by other world time factors, counting only the time of Xiya Continent.”

”Therefore, the time on Xiya Continent is much faster than on Blue Star. You can also understand it as content updates.”

”However, the time flow last time was about four times faster, but who knows how much it will be this time, since it has only been tested once.”

”But it’s certain that the game world’s flow of time is much quicker than our world’s time.”

Guard Brigade swallowed the food in his mouth, looking at Demacia: ”So, you should still say goodbye to your summoned creature. Don’t let it think that its Summoner died or forgot about it, because how long we’ll be away this time is uncertain.”

”Who knows, maybe when we return, everything will be brand new?”

The others ponder, though many seem indifferent, as for them, this is merely a game, pursuing only excitement, which is why they constantly venture beyond the Federation with no sense of belonging.

Demacia hesitated for a moment, but eventually summoned Er Shu.

”Squeak squeak... squeak?”

Er Shu puffed its chest, its posturing abruptly turning sharp upon seeing the crowd, its little legs trembling as it stood upright.

Especially when Xiahou Fuxing’s huge form greeted it.

Er Shu let out a squeak, scrambling away on all fours, forgetting to fly in its hasty retreat.

Demacia:....

”No biggie, don’t worry, watch me catch it back.”

Demacia stood up calmly, eyes fixed on the large tree a hundred meters away. If there’s no mistake, Er Shu would hide there!

”Will the next version update be the Divine Envoy Era?”

Guard Brigade shook his head: ”Not necessarily, if you observe closely, you’ll notice this world doesn’t need players that much; it always develops at an incredible speed.”

”According to my information, players’ main roles are to initiate the recovery of Xia Magic Power, assist Federation construction, and explore this world.”

”If this is a real world, we’re just embellishments. Unless we directly reach the Golden Level, otherwise for the Federation and those gods, no matter how many players there are, they’re just cannon fodder...”

The seasoned players ponder; it seems they never truly considered this issue....

”Go on, say goodbye, this time I came to bid you farewell.”

”Squeak squeak squeak?”

”Uh, not that I’m dying, Marvels are undying. I’m just returning to my world for some time, which could be quite long. You have to be careful in that world.”

”Squeak squeak!”

Demacia: ”You’re the idiot, your whole family is dumb, how can you talk to your Summoner like that? Want to fight?”

”Squeak squeak!”

”Oh, this little thing even tried to sneak attack, watch me Black Tiger’s Heart Strike!”

The players:....

”His way of interacting with his summoned creatures... it’s really not scripted...”

”You’ll get used to it....” Guard Brigade glanced at the time, finished the last bite of food, and stood up: ”So... see you at 2.0. I still have some time, need to go through some documents.”

”Alright, see you at 2.0!”

Watching Guard Brigade’s departing figure, a hundred meters away, the battle between the Summoner and the summoned creature once again concluded.

Demacia happily dragged Er Shu by its tail, beaming as he brought it over: ”Brother Xiahou, show it your culinary skills, let this bumpkin see what fruit cooking is all about!”
