Mystic Mark

Pumpkin Town.

Festival Square.

Night falls.

Bustling crowds shuttled between the colorful stages.

By this time.

Vendors selling snacks and gifts have lost business.

Because Treasure Chest Scramble has already begun.

Everyone looked up.

On those stages.

Just like a holographic image, the live broadcast in Alchemy Castle is played at a certain zoom ratio.

Every detail of Treasure Chest Scramble.

They can all be seen on the stage.

This scene is Island Master Constantine's masterpiece.

It's also because of this.

This powerful alchemist was widely loved.

Everyone generally agrees.

Compared to the mages who are superior.

Alchemists are more willing to use the power of Dream Ether to improve the living environment of ordinary people.

Constantine is one of them.

It is not unreasonable for Butterfly Island's population to increase year by year.

In this era when entertainment is extremely scarce.

Treasure Chest Scramble This kind of competition will definitely make most people's blood boil.

And about this competition.

There are countless industrial chains derived privately.

Who among the 30 contestants will come out on top in the end is what everyone is talking about.

Before the game starts.

Tens of thousands of spectators crowded into the square expressed their opinions in various ways.

As for gambling, insider information, Top Secret Information and other elements, they are all available.

And in this fanatical atmosphere of national participation.

Suddenly a burst of laughter broke out in the square!

"Poor young man! Looking at his confused look, he must have been retaliated against. I know him. He is the Lucky One that was there for 0.02 seconds that day!"

"I could see it clearly from this angle. The staff member who took him in didn't even tell him that the "escape" process had already started when he entered the secret room! He was fooled!"

"Yes, the other contestants have all escaped...Treasure Chest Scramble's escape is not difficult..."

After the laughter.

There were chattering discussions among the crowd.

It turns out.

The countdown to Automatic Crossbow has already begun.

Roger seems to be the only one among the 30 contestants who was cheated.

Some people thought it was the host who was taking revenge.

Some people also think that he did not give any 'benefits' to the staff who led the way——

This is a matter of convention.

But every year there are some foolish young people who are unwilling to accept tradition.

Their end is often miserable.

in the audience's perception.

The pain of being shot through the forehead by a crossbow arrow is simply unimaginable.

There are many people who are sympathetic and are fighting for Roger.

Although the players participating in Treasure Chest Scramble all signed Resurrection Contract with Alchemy Castle.

In Alchemy Castle.

They all have the ability to 'resurrection' once.

But the number of resurrections was used up at the beginning of the game.

This young player No. 18 obviously has no hope of winning.

"What a pity..."

"He's pretty good-looking!"

"Yeah yeah!"

A group of girls gathered together and giggled.

But the next second.

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

Because in the picture on the stage.

The crossbow arrow slipped silently from Roger's forehead.

And the place where he was hit by the crossbow arrow.

Still fair as before.

"Gan!"

In the secret room.

When the crossbow hit him head-on.

Roger has actually started to activate "Escape Art".

His reaction speed is otherworldly.

It's just that the Escape Art is very unfamiliar——

The main reason is that he has never been locked up.

This meant that he couldn't dodge the arrow based solely on his senses! After a moment.

He threw handcuffs, blindfolds, shackles and other restraint props in the corner of the room.

And on the opposite side.

The automatic Automatic Crossbow began loading slowly again.

"Forget it..."

"There are so many contestants."

"No one will notice me, right?"

He glanced at "Eye of Surveillance" above the secret room.

Then he ran to the corner as fast as he could.

Here it is.

There are a total of 3 treasure chests of different sizes piled up.

These treasure chests are the targets of this competition.

before the competition begins.

All players including Roger received a special Storage Ring.

This ring can only store the opened Dream Treasure Chest and the contents of the treasure chest.

The content of the competition is that the players are constrained by obstacles such as mechanisms, traps, puppets, and enemies.

Get as many treasure chests as possible within the specified time.

There are three treasure chests in the initial secret room.

Every treasure chest may contain a surprise.

Of course, there are also dangerous items found in some treasure chests.

And in order to prevent the recurrence of the scene just now.

This time Roger was more cautious.

He scanned the three treasure chests quickly with his senses.

And reduces the perceived "risk assessment level" (click to view the mechanism introduction).

After making sure that all three boxes are safe.

He just quietly stretched out Telepathic Fingers.

After pretending to fumble for a while.

The three treasure chests opened their mouths unceremoniously one after another.

"Hint: You got a pair of stockings (black)"

"You obtained a disposable syringe (containing an unknown blue liquid/requires identification)"

"You got a Ordinary Key (which can be used to open the door to the secret room)"

"Do these things help Treasure Chest Scramble?"

Roger couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

Immediately.

He stuffed the treasure chest into Special Ring.

The rest of the things were easily swept into Tinder Pouch.

As for the key.

Naturally, I used it to open the door to the secret room.

In this process.

Roger deliberately pretended to be cautious and bypassed the shooting range of the automatic Automatic Crossbow.

Click.

The key was inserted.

The door lock opened in response!

Roger is about to leave calmly.

But at this time.

A strong feeling came to his heart! ...

"Sixth Sense: You realize that you have gained the attention of most of the audience!"

"It's really troublesome!"

Roger realized that the arrow just now had an impact.

But there are Eye of Surveillance everywhere in this Alchemy Castle.

If he rashly becomes invisible.

Forget about the audience.

The organizers will definitely find the problem.

It will be troublesome to alert Constantine that Immortal-grade alchemist.

Now Roger thinks for a moment.

Then he took the initiative to open "Hidden in Plain Sight".

This feat allows him to achieve the effect of "psychological" invisibility.

As for whether it will attract the attention of high-level professionals.

He can't control that much anymore! Anyway, everyone got in.

Roger is now more tolerant of Dream Ether.

Just get Mystic Mark.

When the time comes, it's not impossible to escape far away! Between thoughts.

He walked out of the secret room with Steady steps.

In perception.

With the assistance of Hidden in Plain Sight.

Everyone's attention to him immediately dropped.

Others probably didn't notice anything unusual about themselves.

So he boldly touched the coordinates of Mystic Mark! ...

The structure of Alchemy Castle is very delicate and complex.

There are agencies everywhere here.

A forest of traps.

It is difficult even for the agile thieves.

Roger can be the holder of Agility Authority.

This difficulty was nothing to him.

Occasionally there are some mechanisms with Dream Ether effects.

He also beat me hard with his super high Evasion Value.

Not long after.

Roger arrived at the very center of the castle.

And in this process.

He also picked up a lot of Dream Treasure Chest.

The things that come out of the treasure chest can be said to be all kinds of things——

The best one is a temporarily enchanted Invisibility Cloak.

The most useless one is Universal Key which lasts for 8 seconds.

The most speechless thing is a charged fist mechanism.

Although the soft gloves hit the person, there was no harm.

But it's extremely insulting.

certainly.

It is precisely because of the existence of these things.

The randomness of Treasure Chest Scramble has been greatly enriched.

It is naturally very interesting for the audience.

But for the players who are in it.

Always prescribing some weird items in such a stressful and exciting session will inevitably cause myocardial infarction.

Even Roger is not immune.

With his reaction, he wouldn't be hit by the gloves.

but.

When facing a treasure chest containing "Poisonous Snake Trap".

Roger instinctively punched back.

Just one punch.

He blew up the innocent snakes in the treasure chest.

The treasure chest also shattered on the ground.

And in that moment.

Roger instinctively wanted to cut "Sin Mark" into the group of poisonous snakes.

But the poisonous snake died too quickly.

His chosen target has shifted.

Ever since.

A scene that surprised him happened.

"Hint: You destroyed a Dream Treasure Chest"

"Your No Mercy daily available times have been slightly increased."

"Eh?"

"This treasure chest... is also a monster?"

That moment.

Roger is surprised and happy.

What I'm happy about is that this attribute is quite impressive.

"No Mercy" There is no need to go into details about the power of this specialty.

Compatible with "Slaughter Domain".

This thing can have the effect of a range instant kill.

The only drawback is that it can only be released 10 times a day.

And now.

This limit is broken!

Roger took a look.

Although each Dream Treasure Chest cannot directly increase the number of times.

But improvement is a good thing.

not to mention.

at Alchemy Castle.

Similar treasure chests are almost everywhere! Roger If you want to brush.

No one can stop him.

The surprise was naturally the switch of Sin Mark.

Before that.

Roger only knows that Sin Mark can hit monsters.

And this Dream Treasure Chest is obviously not a monster.

It has no independent consciousness at all.

Just a pure item.

"Could it be that Sin Mark is not targeting monsters, but high-concentration Aberrant Matter?"

Roger is keenly aware of this.

"It doesn't have to be a living thing."

"As long as the degree of distortion is high enough, it can be the source of attributes?"

"If we make further bold guesses..."

"Hidden Hero Module was created to fight against Aberrant Matter, right?"

When I think about this level.

Roger couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth.

Ever since I officially met my past self.

He suspected that his time travel was no accident.

There may be a bigger secret behind Hidden Hero Module.

It's just that he doesn't have access to these secrets yet.

But he always believed.

As you continue to grow stronger.

Everything will eventually come to light.

No matter what.

Dream Treasure Chest It is always a good thing to be able to brush attributes.

In comparison.

The championship of Treasure Chest Scramble is useless to Roger.

Ever since.

The treasure chest he collected on his way to the center of Alchemy Castle.

They were all crushed to pieces by him.

When he arrived at the designated place.

There are already 30 more treasure chest fragments in Tinder Pouch.

The daily availability of "No Mercy" has also been increased by 10 times.

Basically, 3 treasure chests can increase the number of times by 1.

Roger brushes very well.

"After getting Mystic Mark, if there are no surprises, you might as well try it for a while..."

Think so.

He carefully observed the layout of the center of the castle.

In perception.

Dense red dots flooded into his mind.

on the data column.

"Insight: You discovered Flame Trap*12"

"You found Patrol Puppet*16"

"You found the executioner*8"

"You discovered 'Mechanism: Thousands of Arrows Firing', 'Mechanism: Swarm of Bees', 'Mechanism: Negative Energy Pouring'..."

"You found out..."

"You found Dream Treasure Chest*199"

That moment.

Roger's vision was filled with large blocks of red and pink.

The pink color is Dream Treasure Chest in the center of the square.

And red is naturally a densely packed mechanism.

The piles of treasure chests here are a place for gamblers who want to make a comeback every year.

The Mystic Mark that Roger sensed earlier is also inside.

But when the distance gets closer.

The coordinates of Mystic Mark have become a little blurry.

Roger can only lock a general range.

"Would it be a bit too unrestrained to steal all the treasure chests in this area?"

"And there are so many traps. If you force your way in, there will be a lot of noise!"

For a while.

Roger is a bit confused.

Doing so may alert the alchemist Immortal-grade.

This will violate your original intention of keeping a low profile.

Available at the temptation of Dream Treasure Chest and Mystic Mark.

Roger did not hesitate for too long.

Think for a moment.

He got stuck on Eye of Surveillance and couldn't see the angle of view.

Then he quietly stretched out his claws towards the pile of treasure boxes!

"Hint: You used 'Floating Cloud Palm'"

"You tried to activate the skill: Stealing through 'Floating Cloud Palm'"

"Theft was successful! Your Dream Treasure Chest+1"

That's it.

Roger embarked on a journey of stealing through the air.

Floating Cloud Palm can be completely invisible and colorless.

This provides a tool for ultra-long-distance theft.

With a little bit of energy consumption.

The Dream Treasure Chest in Tinder Pouch began to pile up like building blocks.

Roger stole 30 of them in one go.

Then the happy journey of opening treasure chests began.

"Hint: You opened a Dream Treasure Chest"

"You got a Roast Suckling Pig"

"You destroyed a Dream Treasure Chest"

"Your No Mercy daily available times have been slightly increased."

Repeat the above cycle.

After 30 times.

Another 10 daily feat usages are obtained.

And besides a lot of miscellaneous things.

Roger Mystic Mark, who had been thinking about it so much, was finally found in a treasure chest! Carrying that Mystic Mark.

But it is "Hard Quill".

Roger Hold it in the palm of your hand.

Martial Artist's comprehensive knowledge is activated.

That moment.

A stream of scalding heat poured into his limbs from the palm of his hand! on the data column.

"You got Mystic Mark (1/8)"

"You have obtained the inheritance: Martial Artist"

"Inheritance (Martial Artist): Your Martial Arts Authority Rank+0.08"

"Martial Arts Authority Rank: You can obtain excess benefits by practicing martial arts, creating martial arts, and spreading martial arts.

When facing peers who do not have Martial Arts Authority Rank.

You will gain the advantage of 'top suppression';

Your martial arts proficiency improvement speed increases by 100%;

You can always find outstanding Martial Artist seedlings among the crowd;

You will have additional attraction to the Martial Artist group;

Your Qi natural growth rate increases by 100%;

You can convert part of your reputation into Martial Arts Authority Rank;...

You have obtained the random character feat: Thunderous Warfare"

"Thunderous Warfare: When you use martial arts to fight against enemies that are 1000 times or more larger than you, each of your martial arts attacks will cause at least 1% additional damage to them; the greater the size difference.

The higher the percentage of additional damage"

"This Thunderous Warfare..."

"It's just a small skill that can make a big difference, right?"

Roger thought about it seriously.

This expertise seems to be of little use to me for the time being.

After all, he has always believed that big is strong.

He himself always likes to be very big.

Encounter an enemy 1000 times larger than yourself.

How big must that be?

At least in Mi Star and Quinan.

He rarely encountered such an enemy.

"However, it will be different if it is Abyss of Destruction."

"And the Star Beast."

"A super beast like Whale Shark King..."

Roger Then I thought about it.

This expertise may still be developed in the future.

And in addition to Martial Arts Authority Rank and new feats.

In the inheritance that comes with Mystic Mark.

He also left a mark of martial arts.

Roger felt a strong sense of familiarity from that imprint.

"Legacy (Martial Artist): You have obtained a new martial art - tripping"

"Trip: Consume a certain amount of energy to trip the enemy, and then use various means to throw him to the ground;

Enemies knocked down by a trip will simultaneously suffer more than 20 negative effects such as weakness, fainting, and Tenacity Reduction.

Note: It only takes effect on targets whose size is more than 1000 times larger than itself;

The bigger the size difference.

The stronger the tripping effect. "

"You got 'Mystic Trip and Fall Mark'*2 (Celestial God-level)"

Scan it all at a glance.

Roger You know where that sense of familiarity comes from!

"Black Tiger Master is not purely original!"

"Trip, trip, trip..."

"When taken apart, it's just "sliding and shoveling" + "hugging and throwing"!"

However.

Compared to sliding tackles and tackles.

The conditions for use of tripping are more stringent.

This thing seems to be the same as "Thunderous Warfare".

Roger speculates that this is a set of martial arts designed by Xuan to target the star beasts.

There are examples of Black Tiger and Qu Feng.

Roger is full of expectations for this Celestial God-level martial art.

At the very least.

After getting this new mark.

He is not afraid that "Whale Shark King" will come back to cause trouble.

even.

Roger is still looking forward to the other party coming back to find trouble! If there is no worthy target.

Even if you have the dragon-slaying skill, it's not that comfortable, right?

After getting Mystic Mark.

Roger finally relaxed completely.

He continued to steal the stack of treasure chests in the middle while staying stuck.

However.

at the same time.

Outside Alchemy Castle.

A line of hurried men in black robes was stopped.

"Mage Mobile Squad?"

"What are you doing here?"

A Treasure Chest Scramble staff member looked at the men in black robes in surprise.

One of the latter said coldly:

"We received a tip."

"There is a SSS-Class Wanted Criminal hidden in your celebration!"

"We need your cooperation to arrest him!"

The staff member tried to confirm with a puzzled face:

"3S?"

"That's right!"

The man in black robe obviously didn't have that much patience.

He pushed the staff member away.

Then he violently led his team into the door of Alchemy Castle! "Go and notify Lord Constantine!"

Until the backs of those men in black robes disappeared from sight.

The staff member just came back to his senses and yelled.

But there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

because.

As far as he knows.

Throughout the history of Floating Island.

There is only one wanted criminal listed by Future Organization in the SSS! ...
