Lin Yi stood at the far end of the treasury. Five rare treasures radiated dazzling light, illuminating his face, which looked slightly troubled amid his excitement.
His heart pounded like a drum, every beat carrying a flutter of desire.
Drool kept dripping from the corners of his mouth, not because the treasures were precious, but because these precious treasures were within reach.
It was still the early game, and I wasn't even level ten yet!
Every treasure before him was at least two-star!
The shock this gave Lin Yi was no less than being reborn all over again!
His gaze lingered between the two class change scrolls. They shone like the sun and moon, each representing the pinnacle of strength or the elements.
The [Dragonblood Warrior Class Change Scroll] represented indestructible defense and tremendous vitality!
Dragonblood Warriors used blood as their medium and broke all techniques with strength!
The HP bonus would make him a mad god on the battlefield, a virtually immortal legend!
The [Elemental Apostle Class Change Scroll], meanwhile, represented the power of a mage who controlled the natural elements!
Its high burst damage was enough to strike fear into any opponent.
The twentyfold mana increase would let him use skills without any further worries!
And the [Ant Sea Tactics] skill book he had just obtained could currently kill creatures with over two billion maximum HP!
Whichever of these two classes he obtained would ensure smooth sailing on his journey ahead!
But Lin Yi's gaze did not linger on them for long!
Good as these two classes were, neither was his ultimate goal.
Lin Yi had once been an information broker, and his horizons far exceeded those of ordinary people!
He knew that more, stronger special classes awaited him in the future.
An even stronger two-star special class might appear in the beginner village's class change trial!
Yet when the [Holy Name Vermilion Fruit] came into view, Lin Yi's breathing instantly quickened.
Anyone who obtained this fruit would immediately eat it and bury the secret deep in their heart!
Possessing a treasure was a crime in itself, even for an innocent man!
He had heard about this fruit several times in his previous life and had even been fortunate enough to see one at an auction!
It had fetched the enormous price of two billion years of lifespan!
The ability to give someone three classes-what a temptation that was!
Three classes, an all-round genius!
This fruit would let anyone thrive in "Zero Game," with no one able to rival them.
That way, Lin Yi would no longer have to agonize over which class to choose!
One warrior!
One mage!
Then a priest or a shield warrior!
High attack, high HP, high defense, high mobility, high burst damage, and high recovery!
He could become a true hexagonal warrior!
And Lin Yi would not choose an ordinary class for any of them.
Three special classes-who could stand up to that!
But when his gaze fell on the [Nameless Pill], his heart trembled again.
This pill could let someone obtain another person's talent. It was truly a heaven-defying item!
Lin Yi had at least seen a [Holy Name Vermilion Fruit] in his previous life.
But a [Nameless Pill]? In ten years, never mind seeing one!
He had never even heard of it!
Lin Yi knew about pills that could raise a talent's grade and had seen fruits that enhanced a talent's effects.
But obtaining a talent?
Oh my God!
Are you kidding me?
Talents were already fixed when people first entered this game!
Each person's talent was their foundation and even determined their path of development.
But now you're telling me I could obtain another talent?
This had to be a joke!
One talent might not be all that powerful!
But two talents were not something that could be explained with a simple one plus one!
And Lin Yi already had two talents. If he obtained another, he really could walk sideways!
Seven or eight talents he wanted instantly sprang to Lin Yi's mind, each enough to greatly increase his strength.
For example, the AA-grade talent [Long Long 99] could turn the first digit displayed in his combat power into a nine!
If Lin Yi obtained this talent, every time he leveled up, he would be 9.9 times stronger than he would have been before!
Another example was the SH-grade talent [Sublimation]. Whenever he killed a creature, he could apply [Sublimation] to its dropped items based on the difference in orders of magnitude between its combat power and his own. Each order of magnitude allowed [Sublimation] by ten tiers, up to a maximum of 260 tiers!
If Lin Yi obtained this talent, an AA-grade treasure dropped by a monster he killed could be sublimated as high as JA-grade!
With something as good as the [Nameless Pill] right here, what was I waiting for?
At this stage, Lin Yi genuinely could not think of anything more awesome than this pill!
And its description had already said it!
It could neither be encountered nor sought!
Surely the description wouldn't lie!
Wait!
The description?
Lin Yi seemed to remember something. His hand, reaching toward the [Nameless Pill], paused slightly and hovered in midair.
He turned to look at the [Golden Key] in the middle.
[Golden Key] Category: Key Grade: ZZZ-grade Effect: Used to open locks. Unique item. Cannot be destroyed. Description: Its holder can use it to open specific locks and obtain unpredictable opportunities.
Lin Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression turned grim again.
Definitely a hidden quest chain with at least three links!
Definitely at least a hidden three-star unique item!
This was such an agonizing choice!
He might even obtain a top-tier three-star unique item!
A top-tier three-star item was a full 17,576 tiers up!
At the same time, the system broadcast a reminder:
"Five seconds remaining. Please choose your treasure as soon as possible. If time runs out, you will be considered to have forfeited!"
"Five!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
Whoosh!
Lin Yi's right hand seized the [Golden Key]!
He let out a long breath and slowly said:
"My three key brothers..."
"Please, don't let me down!"
