The spatial vortex lit up.

Chen Ji, Sally Valence, Drumm, and Doran.

The four of them left the Lobby Bar once again.

The prices here were enough to make anyone gasp!

A single drink cost one ancient Roman gold coin.

Fortunately, refills were unlimited.

Otherwise,

Chen Ji would have called it a rip-off!

"The Lobby Bar isn't just a bar."

"It's neutral ground. Fighting is forbidden here, and people from different factions and camps all come to the Lobby Bar to negotiate."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Jack is only a bartender."

"Even the Sorcerer Supreme treats him with the utmost respect."

Master Drumm warned them in a low voice.

Sally Valence's heart tightened.

"Bartender Jack..."

"Is he really that important?"

Sally felt uneasy.

She had nearly offended Jack!

So...

Master Drumm's stern criticism of her had actually been meant to save her?

"Haha."

"Stop scaring the kid."

"Jack is a good man with a kind heart!"

"Burp."

"It's getting late. Time to head home and find your moms!"

The bearded mage Doran immediately opened a Mystic Portal.

It led directly to the main hall of the New York Sanctum.

Inside the hall,

Eva Feynman and David Simmons seemed to have just gone through a fierce battle.

"Eva? David?"

"What kind of monster did you run into?"

Master Drumm's expression turned serious.

Anything capable of leaving two Guardian Mages looking so disheveled was definitely no ordinary creature!

"It's nothing."

"We've already dealt with it."

"...That Frost Behemoth from Jotunheim was really tough."

Eva Feynman and David Simmons took turns speaking, briefly explaining the sudden incident.

Then, they opened a Mystic Portal.

A colossal beast with a snow-blue body, a savage physique, and thick limbs lay on its side in the basement.

It was as if the room temperature had dropped several degrees!

The gigantic beast was covered in frost, its fangs stark white and menacing.

It was clearly a native creature of Jotunheim!

[Frost Behemoth] [Level]: Advanced [Entries]: Battle-Fueled Valor (Pink), Iron Skin, Steel Bones (Pink), Extreme Cold Resistance (Pink). [Battle-Fueled Valor] (Pink): If it is not killed in time, he will unleash astonishing potential and fight to the death. [Iron Skin, Steel Bones] (Pink): Physical and magical resistance increase by 20%. [Extreme Cold Resistance] (Pink): He comes from the Frost Country and is born immune to extremely cold environments.

"Hmm?"

"Pink talents?"

"...There are actually Pink Talents too!"

Chen Ji stared blankly.

He had only just seen a god-tier talent and had yet to recover from the shock.

Yet he had discovered Pink Talents again.

What was going on?

[Pink Talents discovered. Extract?] (Pink Talents are worth 100 Luck Value each and can all be sold to the Talent Recycling Shop.) (They may also be sold to other creatures.) (Pink Talents cannot be upgraded.)

"Recycle them? Sell them?!"

"Really?"

"Extract!"

Chen Ji's eyes lit up, and he did not hesitate.

In an instant.

Three brilliant streaks of light rose from the Frost Behemoth's corpse.

They suddenly surged straight toward Chen Ji!

It seemed the other Guardian Mages could not see what Chen Ji was doing at all.

At the same time.

The Talent Recycling Shop gained another category page!

[Pink Talents] [Battle-Fueled Valor], [Iron Skin, Steel Bones], [Extreme Cold Resistance].

The Entry System had also listed a standard retail price.

100 Luck Value!

Three Pink Talent entries meant 300 Luck Value!

Of course.

Pink Talents were tradable talents.

They differed from all other talents.

If Chen Ji was good at salesmanship and managed to sell a Pink Entry at an astronomical price, the system would not object in the slightest.

Pink Talents could not be upgraded!

They possessed no potential for growth or evolution.

Besides, Pink Entries came from the Frost Behemoth. Who could guarantee that after solidifying the entries, Chen Ji would not mutate?

...Into a humanoid Frost Behemoth?

That would be a terrible bargain!

Chen Ji immediately gave up on the idea of solidifying the entries!

"If I want to sell Pink Entries to other creatures..."

"How are they supposed to pay this Luck Value?"

"Who would believe that I can sell talents?"

Chen Ji's expression was complicated.

Although the system had pointed him toward a path.

He had no idea how to walk it!

Forget it.

He should get the Luck Value first!

Chen Ji acted decisively.

He directly sold the two Pink Entries, [Extreme Cold Resistance] and [Battle-Fueled Valor], to the Talent Recycling Shop!

[Confirm sale of entries [Extreme Cold Resistance] and [Battle-Fueled Valor]?]

"Confirm."

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 200 Luck Value.]
[Name]: Chen Ji [Identity]: Guardian Mage [Talents]: Academic Prodigy (Blue), Grandmaster (Blue), Self-Taught (Blue), Fortune After Misfortune (Blue), Crowd Favorite (Blue), Fortune Uncertain (Black), Covetous Burden (Black). [Luck Value]: 465.9

"Nice!"

"I can already spin the Talent Draw Wheel once!"

"Should I take a bath and change clothes first?"

Chen Ji felt secretly delighted.

He had found another path to wealth!

But...

Why had he never seen Pink Entries in the Weird World?

Was it because the Weird World was not real?

Did Pink Entries only drop after creatures in the real world died?

Chen Ji silently speculated.

He thought it was highly possible!

As for the principles and mysteries involved, they were beyond what he could touch at his current stage!

"Chen?"

"Did that scare you?"

Sally Valence teased him.

"Ha."

"I just can't hold my liquor. I need to rest for a while."

Chen Ji scratched his head.

Then, he grabbed the handrail and headed upstairs.

Only after he was out of everyone's sight did he quickly return to his room.

"Draw!"

Chen Ji hurriedly sat down and immediately summoned the Talent Draw Wheel.

[Talent Draw Wheel]: The first draw requires 50 Luck Value. (After that, the Luck Value consumed for each draw x2, while the probability of obtaining rare talents increases accordingly.) (Current Luck Value required: 400.)

A burst of dazzling, multicolored light filled his vision.

400 Luck Value had been successfully deducted.

The wheel spun rapidly.

The next second.

A heavenly sound rang beside Chen Ji's ears!

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the White Talent [Unawakened].] [Unawakened] (White): There seems to be some mysterious power within your body.

"White Talent?"

"...Mysterious power?"

"400 Luck Value for this?"

Chen Ji looked thoroughly displeased.

He had thought he could make a huge profit again.

But it was still a White Talent!

Was he cursed to keep getting White Talents?!

However, the words "mysterious power" immediately lifted his spirits.

In a world where Mutants existed, could it be that Baron Mordo's words had come true, and he was about to awaken mutant abilities?

"I can still upgrade this White Entry once!"

Chen Ji waited in anticipation.

[Use Luck Value on [Unawakened] (White)?]

"Confirm!"

Chen Ji clenched his fists, his face tense.

Whoosh!

A blazing flash of light swept past.

[[Unawakened] (White) has evolved into the trait [Gene Mutation] (Green)] [Gene Mutation] (Green): Because you came into contact with the Power Stone, the cells within your body are rapidly transforming.

Gene Mutation!

What did this mean?

Was he about to awaken his X-Factor, or was he about to mutate?

"Because I came into contact with the Power Stone...?"

"So my earlier feeling wasn't an illusion!"

"The Power Stone!"

"It's remaking my body?"

Chen Ji's heart jolted.

As early as the second time he absorbed the Power Stone's energy, he had already noticed some signs!

"Gene Mutation..."

"I just hope I don't turn into some hideous freak!"

Chen Ji silently prayed.

Everyone, don't worry. The female lead is someone else. Not every female character is the female lead...
