The Failed Creation
Xiao Fan pondered for a long time before making another adjustment. This time, he chose to change the skill so that it could not be used in combat.
This change may seem minor on the surface, but it means that players who have died cannot participate in combat again until the battle ends. Is this an added requirement?
Then...
"Review complete. Your attempt to create Resurrection Art has failed. Please try again."
The third attempt at creation failed.
Xiao Fan adjusted the data.
"Review complete. Your attempt to create Resurrection Art has failed. Please try again."
The fourth attempt at creation failed.
Now Xiao Fan finally understood that the most precious skills could not be presented in the simplest form.
Now Xiao Fan dared not create Resurrection Art casually anymore.
"Perhaps creating Resurrection Art isn't as simple as I thought; there might be some hidden rules involved."
He began to review the entire process of the Resurrection Art quest.
"Does the Resurrection Art I create have to be related to the quest item I submit?"
Xiao Fan's eyes lit up; he thought it was very likely!
Otherwise, why would the Resurrection Art require him to hand over those items?
Xiao Fan calculated that the items he submitted for his Resurrection Art included Life Crystal, Spirit (God) Beast Soul Stone, the Sands of Time, and the Heart of Myriad Phenomena.
Upon closer examination, these four items do seem to have some connection to Resurrection Art.
At this moment, Xiao Fan seemed to have found the key to creating the Resurrection Art.
"Let's try it first."
Xiao Fan began creating a resurrection skill for the fifth time.
He first created a resurrection skill using the theme of Sands of Time, which was the simplest to create.
However...
"Review complete. Your attempt to create Resurrection Art has failed. Please try again."
The fifth attempt to create it failed.
Xiao Fan was drenched in sweat. He had already used half of his chances to create a resurrection skill, and only five hours remained of his seven-hour creation time.
Only then did Xiao Fan truly feel the immense pressure.
He didn't want to fail!
Putting everything else aside, this is the only Resurrection Art clue that has dropped since the version update.
It's uncertain when the next clue to the Resurrection Art spell will come, not to mention that it took him several months to complete the Resurrection Art quest.
"Is Resurrection Art created by combining all the themes required for it to succeed?"
Xiao Fan had a terrible headache.
You'd need a lot of fancy skills to cover these four themes.
Even with Xiao Fan's wild imagination, he still found it very difficult.
04:58:57
The countdown has less than five hours left.
Xiao Fan dared not waste any more time and began to study the creation of the Resurrection Art.
"Review complete. Your attempt to create Resurrection Art has failed. Please try again."
The sixth attempt to create it failed.
Review complete. Your attempt to create Resurrection Art has failed. Please try again.
The eighth attempt to create it failed.
01:38:10
Xiao Fan slumped on the sofa, his back soaked with sweat, his eyes bloodshot.
Another failure!
This is the eighth failure.
For the first time, Xiao Fan felt a deep sense of defeat.
He knew that such a heaven-defying skill as Resurrection Art wouldn't appear easily, but this was just too difficult.
He has incorporated every element he can imagine into the skill. In the end, he even increased the failure rate of the Resurrection Art, meaning that he is not guaranteed to succeed when using the Resurrection Art.
This exceeded Xiao Fan's expectations for Resurrection Art.
But he still failed.
Xiao Fan was unwilling to accept it. He had waited so long and given so much, only to fail in the end.
"Where exactly is the problem?"
Xiao Fan reviewed the entire process of creating the Resurrection Art once again.
The skills are definitely not the problem, and the data has been pushed to the limit. Players need to have extremely strong operation and awareness. The elements of four props have also been added.
Everything is fine, so what's the problem?
Xiao Fan thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
"This game is trash, are you kidding me?!"
Under immense pressure, Xiao Fan could no longer remain calm; not crying was his limit.
He was given hope, and then despaired; how great must his disappointment have been?
"No, I can't give up. There must be something I haven't done well enough."
01:02:10
With only one hour left, Xiao Fan forced himself to calm down. He once again combined all the previous elements, maxed out every detail of the skill, and pushed the data to the limit of thirty percent that he could handle.
This means his Resurrection Art has a success rate of only 30%.
"Let's create it like this first. After the Resurrection Art succeeds, I'll create a few other skills to compensate for Resurrection Art shortcomings and increase the success rate."
This was the best solution Xiao Fan could think of.
Xiao Fan took a deep breath and clicked submit.
"Confirm submission?"
"Yes."
"Skill review in progress, please wait patiently."
"Promise me you'll succeed, okay?"
Xiao Fan was so nervous that he could hear his own heart pounding.
Ten minutes later.
"Review complete. Your attempt to create Resurrection Art has failed. Please try again."
The ninth attempt to create failed.
Xiao Fan's anxiety finally died!
He forced a smile, but couldn't even utter a sound of complaint.
This time, he truly burned himself out!
He had considered every single detail, but the skill creation still failed. Xiao Fan no longer knew how to create the skill.
00:15:48
With only fifteen minutes left in the countdown, and after deducting the system review time, Xiao Fan only has five minutes left to create.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this attempt at creation has already failed.
If a skill can't be successfully devised in an hour, it's even less likely to be successful in five minutes.
Xiao Fan was somewhat dejected; nine consecutive setbacks had made him want to give up trying.
"System: Congratulations to player Shen Long for successfully creating the T1 Rank Profession Soul Hook User. This is an official announcement."
"System: Congratulations to player Shen Long for successfully creating the T1 Rank Profession Soul Hook User. This is an official announcement."
"System: Congratulations to player Shen Long for successfully creating the T1 Rank Profession Soul Hook User. This is an official announcement."
He was startled awake from his deathbed!
"What? That old bastard Shen Long actually created a T1 Rank Profession?"
Xiao Fan suddenly woke up.
<Cloud Sea> isn't just about Resurrection Art; its gameplay Thousand Changes, and I've always been a master of it. I can't let the failure to create Resurrection Art define me.
His enemies are waiting for him, his family and friends have always supported him, and there are many adventures waiting for him behind the scenes of the game.
If he can't even handle this setback, how will he compete with the powerful beings of other planets for the right to survive?
Instantly, Xiao Fan was filled with energy.
He glanced at the countdown.
00:12:20
Disregarding the review period, he only had two minutes to create.
"Since we're going to fail anyway, I might as well just write something random; I can't waste this chance."
With this in mind, Xiao Fan didn't have time to think and quickly filled in a resurrection skill.
Submission complete!
