45: The Abyss of Destiny!

Terao quickly sent over a compiled guide:

【Current Feasible Upgrade Guide—】

【1. Consume qing ling fruit to increase the number of Crystal Nucleus absorbed daily (PS: One qing ling fruit increases absorption by one. qing ling fruit acquisition method: Dropped by killing God Chosen)】

【2. Consume experience potions or experience meals to directly gain experience points (requires Alchemist or Chef Job Holders)】

【3. Some challenge-based secret realms directly reward experience points】

The guide was detailed and comprehensive, yet utterly useless!

Wu Jun frowned and asked again: 【What is a Job Holder?】

Terao: 【2 zero-level Crystal Nucleus.】

【…】

Wu Jun quickly traded 2 more Crystal Nucleus, and the result left him shocked and disappointed.

It turned out that in this Killing Game, besides God Chosen, there were also Heavenly Mandate Job Holders who could advance their professions early!

But fortunately, the number of Heavenly Mandate Job Holders should also be very small.

Wu Jun estimated in his heart that with his strength, even if he encountered a powerful Job Holder, he should not fall into a disadvantage!

Then, he asked again: 【Do you know how Lin Chuan leveled up so quickly?】

Terao: 【1 level-1 Crystal Nucleus.】

Wu Jun sighed and transferred the money again.

The other side quickly replied as expected:

【Based on my speculation, there are three possibilities—】

【1. He experienced a special secret realm and directly obtained a large amount of experience points】

【2. He used his Talent or special items to catalyze high-level monsters and killed them (this is the most likely scenario)】

【3. He is a Heavenly Mandate Job Holder, directly advanced to Alchemist, and successfully produced experience potions (very low probability)】

Catalyzed high-level monsters?!

Wu Jun stared at these words, somewhat excitedly asking again: 【How do you catalyze high-level monsters??】

Terao: 【10 level-2 Crystal Nucleus.】

Wu Jun immediately frowned: 【That’s too expensive!】

Terao: 【I have my pricing standards, whether you buy or not is up to you.】

Wu Jun thought about it, feeling that the information Terao provided did indeed broaden his horizons, but its feasibility was not strong.

Heavenly Mandate Job Holders, special secret realms, and the qing ling fruit that only drops from killing God Chosen…

These things were not easily accessible in a short amount of time.

Forget it.

10 level-2 Crystal Nucleus was still too expensive, so Wu Jun ultimately did not exchange for the method to catalyze high-level monsters.

Instead, he asked about what he was most interested in at the moment: 【Do you have any information or guides related to black treasure box?】

Terao, far away in Sakura Country, was currently in a nursing home.

The lawns, pathways, and other areas of the nursing home were filled with the bodies of elderly people.

And all those bodies shared a common characteristic—

They all showed very obvious symptoms of aging!

Terao, dressed in a samurai uniform, walked past these bodies with a calm and composed expression.

He looked at the message from Wu Jun, clearly taken aback for a moment.

black treasure box?

What is that?

He had never heard of a treasure box being black!

But it didn't matter.

He calmly replied to Wu Jun: 【Wait a moment, I'll estimate the price first.】

After speaking, he found a room in the nursing home and activated his S-Class Talent—Destiny Stream!

With a lift of his hands, a giant, black hole-like vortex appeared before him!

This was his Destiny Stream!

Within the Destiny Stream, more than thirty streams of Destiny Stream converged, shimmering with colorful light like a galaxy!

This scene looked exactly like a Milky Way of stars in the vast universe, beautiful and dazzling, dreamlike and brilliant.

But in reality, the convergence of Destiny Stream was extremely cruel!

The withered bodies scattered across the nursing home were the consequence of his converging Destiny Stream!

Terao's current ranking on the slaughter chart was first!

But reaching the top of the slaughter chart was not his original intention.

His acts of slaughter were more for the purpose of converging Destiny Stream!

And the function of Destiny Stream was extremely powerful, almost omnipotent!

It could be transformed into any means of attack, defense, healing, etc.;

It could be exchanged for various pieces of information, and it could also materialize various physical items!

It truly was omnipotent!

Of course, the Destiny Stream Talent also had its drawbacks.

When he threw a creature into the Destiny Stream, it was not a 100% guarantee that Destiny Stream would converge.

If the convergence failed, he himself would suffer a backlash!

However, Terao had already figured it out.

As long as his own “destiny” was stronger than the creature thrown into the Destiny Stream, the convergence of Destiny Stream would be successful!

To ensure the success rate of converging Destiny Stream, he would target the dying elderly or other weaker individuals in nursing homes.

He visited five nursing homes, slaughtering tens of thousands of elderly people, only to barely converge about fifty streams of Destiny Stream.

Among them, he used more than ten streams to exchange for information and to attack with Destiny Stream.

Now 37 streams remained.

Terao skillfully manipulated the colorful streams within the Destiny Stream.

A strong desire arose in his heart: I want information related to the “black treasure box”!

Up to this point, all procedures were normal.

But in the next second, Terao suddenly discovered in horror.

All 37 streams in his Destiny Stream were uncontrollably rushing towards the center of the vortex!

37 streams!

Terao's face instantly turned pale!

The Destiny Stream he had spent so much time and effort to accumulate!

It was all consumed in one go!

What kind of heaven-defying item was that black treasure box?! To require so much Destiny Stream?!!

Terao cursed inwardly, but could only watch helplessly as the vortex of the Destiny Stream absorbed all the Destiny Stream he had painstakingly converged!

In the end, what was feedbacked was only a few short lines of text!

【Information related to black treasure box:】

【1. The black treasure box, also known as the Destiny Treasure Box, is born between heaven and earth, transcending all world rules.】

【2. Treasure box characteristics: Non-tradable, non-peekable, non-blockable, non-applicable, non-reversible】

【3. Treasure box contents: Destiny-related, anything is possible】

【4. … (Insufficient Destiny Power, unable to obtain)】

What the hell!

37 streams of Destiny Stream, and the information obtained was still incomplete!

Terao cursed furiously in his heart again!

These three short pieces of information actually used up all his Destiny Stream!

That's too ridiculous!

And these three pieces of information weren't even very valuable!

Terao's eyes turned red with anger, wishing he could directly kill Wu Jun who asked him for information about the black treasure box!

But after calming down, he quickly realized—

A black treasure box that consumed so much Destiny Power to obtain only 3 simple pieces of information was probably an extremely precious item!

His gaze fell on the words “transcending world rules” again!

His eyes instantly blazed with fervor!

black treasure box! Such a precious and powerful item, he must find a way to get it!

Terao took a deep breath and calmly replied to Wu Jun: 【Where did you learn about the black treasure box? You've used this kind of treasure box, haven't you?】

Wu Jun waited for a long time before receiving this message.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he calmly replied: 【Get it straight, I'm the customer, I have no obligation to answer your questions!】

Terao scoffed, then grandly stated: 【Ten level-5 Crystal Nucleus, I want to know how you obtained the black treasure box, and what you gained from it!】
