"You really spoke..."
Mu You was stunned when he saw it. What this thing needed to resurrect was indeed divinity.
However, he had just injected a total of 50 points of divinity, and he could barely make the opponent's jaw bones move. He had recovered his speech ability. How much divinity would be needed to completely resurrect the opponent and make all the keels move?
At this time, a task prompt has popped up in the game.
[Congratulations, you triggered the hidden mission: resurrect the suppressed bone dragon. 】
[Task content: This poor bone dragon has been suppressed here for a long enough time. Even if it has made mistakes, it should have completed its atonement as time goes by. Collect enough divinity to help this bone dragon in the desert get out of trouble. 】
[Task time limit: no limit. 】
[Task reward: Obtain the recognition of the bone dragon as its owner and make it fight for you. 】
The mission was successfully triggered, but Mu You did not rush to agree. Instead, while he could talk, he communicated with Bone Dragon first to confirm the other party's situation.
[You ask about Bone Dragon’s life experience and experience. 】
[The Bone Dragon told you that it was originally a very ordinary young dragon in the 'Dragon Valley'. Shortly after its birth, it accidentally wandered into the star spirit world due to an accidental reason. 】
[The young dragon who first entered the star spirit world was ignorant and stirred up troubles in various places in the star spirit world, constantly enslaving living beings. He thought that relying on his identity as a divine beast, he could dominate this mortal world and easily become the overlord of one party. As a result, within a few years of gaining the title of 'Evil Dragon', he was suppressed by several hidden strong men and sealed in the desert...]
[The Bone Dragon doesn’t know exactly how many years it has been sealed. In short, in the passage of thousands of years, its flesh and blood have long since dissipated, leaving only a set of scattered bones. The divinity in the body has also been lost, and even The soul is also on the verge of collapse...]
[Now, your appearance finally gives it hope! Bone Dragon solemnly promises you with the glory of the dragon clan that as long as you can help it regain its freedom, it will be willing to surrender to you, listen to your orders, and fight for you before it returns to its hometown of Dragon Valley in the future! 】
"It has been sealed for thousands of years..."
Mu You was stunned when he saw it. So, this guy should have wandered into the star spirit world in the last era, or even earlier eras.
This guy's life experience, to put it bluntly, is a mythical creature who just came to the star spirit world and didn't know the heights of the world. He probably thought that a high-dimensional creature would be able to run rampant in the low-dimensional world. He was not a good dragon and had to be a villain. In the star world, Various troubles in the spirit world caused a lot of natural disasters, which naturally aroused the resentment of the local experts. Several experts teamed up to beat him up, suppressed him under the desert, and then sealed it until now...
Mu You shook his head. This dragon's experience was worse than that of a certain stone monkey. The monkey was only suppressed for five hundred years before being released. This dragon's life span is tens of thousands of years...
Of course, there is nothing to sympathize with, it is all its own suicide. After a long period of sealing, the hostility and pride that this bone dragon had once had obviously dissipated. Now it would rather surrender to a mortal and become a pet, and hope to regain its freedom.
However, Mu You noticed that the bone dragon was a little careful in his words.
In the previous mission, it was said that we would fight for whoever rescued it, but the statement just now changed to 'fight for him before returning to his hometown, Dragon Valley'.
Obviously, the other person doesn't intend to be a pet for the rest of his life.
Mu You didn't pay much attention to this. The other party would use this kind of careful bargaining, which showed that the Dragon Clan's promise was very important. It should abide by the agreement and not turn against the person as soon as it was released.
Moreover, having concrete mission reminders can be regarded as a layer of insurance. Mu You has never seen a system-certified mission unilaterally break the contract.
[You agreed to Bone Dragon’s request. 】
[You ask the bone dragon how much divinity is needed to revive it. 】
[The Bone Dragon tells you that there is no need to restore its full strength, but if you want to restore all the bones in its body, you must restore it to at least four-star strength, and this requires injecting at least a thousand points of divinity into it... 】
"A thousand points..."
Mu You took a breath, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
You must know that divinity and divine crystals are different. Divine crystals are physical objects and can be traded and given away at will. However, divinity that has been integrated into the body cannot currently be traded between players.
Nowadays, there are many players who have obtained initial divinity through the Brave Tower, but there are very few people who hold divinity crystals, because currently the only way to obtain divinity crystals is to explore the world of giants.
Mu You spent more than an hour exploring the opposite world last time, and in the end he only obtained a dozen divine crystals. Needless to say, others would only get even less.
If he only had one or two hundred points, he could barely borrow it by relying on his connections. A thousand points, this was definitely beyond the scope of 'borrowing', and the only way was to go to the world for public acquisitions.
Thinking of this, Mu You switched to the forum's trading interface and glanced at it.
After several days of land reclamation, there are actually quite a few players who have obtained divine crystals in the Giant World. Most people who have been to the Giant World have seven or eight crystals in their hands, or as few as one or two. With the help of strategies, there are only a few who have gained nothing at all.
So at this time, there have been many crystal acquisition posts on the forum, basically from major forces.
Although the belief system has not yet been opened, anyone who has experienced tower climbing knows the importance of divinity. In the near future, this thing is likely to become a strategic resource. Based on the principle of one step at a time, it is always right to store some in advance.
Mu You took a look. Since there are fewer players who have cleared the Hundred-Story Tower, divine crystals are still a rare commodity. The current average purchase price of divine crystals is about 100 years of life to exchange for one, and he needs one. Thousands of them, that’s a lifespan of 100,000 years! Even if converted into real money, it still requires seven or eight small goals!
He definitely couldn't come up with this number, but Mu You happened to have a batch of usable assets on hand right now, which was the batch of treasures that he had previously extracted from the king's treasury and transferred them to Caesar's Cult.
Coupled with some of the original savings of the Caesar Religion, the total can be converted into seven or eight small goals, which should be no problem!
Of course, this part of the assets is not something he can just take away. Similar to the king's treasury, this large organization has a 'treasury magic' anti-theft mechanism, that is, such confiscated properties are stored in a special space treasure trove. In addition to the founder, others must meet conditions to extract treasures from it.
For example, in the previous king's private treasure house, Muyou had to obtain an identity certificate from the king before he could withdraw the treasure. There were also restrictions on the subsequent use of the treasure. Once a violation of the prescribed use was detected, the certificate would automatically become invalid.
In the Caesarian Cult, the treasure house rules set by the three bishops are that each of the three holds a treasure house entrance ring, but the treasure can be extracted from the treasure house only if the three founders agree at the same time.
This was obviously a rule the three of them had set up to be wary of each other, lest one of them simply take away all the treasure and run away.
Regarding the current situation where all three founders have died, there is also a section in the canon that states: In the case where the founder is absent or unable to make decisions, each expenditure must be approved by more than half of the congregation, and the total number of congregations must not be low. It can only be withdrawn when it reaches 500, otherwise the treasure house will be permanently closed.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to deceive... no, to persuade those believers to withdraw all the assets within the organization.
Thinking of this, Mu You returned to the game and summoned all the believers in the canyon.
[You summoned all the believers under the dragon's head and explained to everyone the origin of the bone dragon and the significance of resurrecting it. 】
[When the believers heard that resurrecting the bone dragon would require donating all the church’s assets, they suddenly showed hesitation. In the eyes of most people, this is an extremely risky investment. Once the resurrection of the bone dragon fails, or the bone dragon cannot defeat the manticore, the entire wealth of thousands of people in the entire church will be wiped out in an instant. 】
Sure enough, these people were not fools. When it came time to pay real money, even these fanatical believers began to feel pain and became cautious.
Next, Mu You had no choice but to explain the truth to this group of people. He personally took everyone to communicate with Bone Dragon, and used a lie detector stone to prove that he would indeed use every church asset for resurrection. On the bone dragon, only then did most of the congregation gradually agree.
["For Julius Caesar!" You stood on top of the dragon's head, raising your arms and shouting. 】
["For Julius Caesar!" The believers below immediately shouted along with you, and they all returned to the appearance of fanatical believers. 】
[You have gained the support of more than half of the congregation and gained control of the church’s treasure trove. 】
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. After getting this batch of property, he immediately put up a notice in Dawn City, announcing the purchase of a large number of divine crystals. Each treasure was clearly marked with a price, and the price was higher than the average purchase price of the current crystals. The price was slightly higher by about 10%, in order to collect all the crystals as soon as possible. After all, the solar eclipse was about to start in three days, and he didn't have time to take his time.
The ghost captain, who had been silent for many days, suddenly posted such an announcement about throwing money, which immediately caused an uproar on the forum.
According to statistics from experienced people, the total value of the series of treasures displayed by Captain Ghost is close to 900 million!
Many people have speculated that the Ghost Captain, who has always been low-key, suddenly made such a large sum to acquire divine crystals, does this represent some kind of signal?
Many people immediately thought of the opening of the belief system, because before the wasteland players entered the giant world, they were warned that "the belief system has not been opened yet".
Since it is 'not yet opened', it will definitely be opened one day in the future. Once the belief system is opened, the value of divinity will definitely increase temporarily. This is definitely a good investment opportunity. If it works well, it can make a lot of money. Bundle!
However, no one can be sure when the belief system will be opened. If it is opened one or two years later, or even several years later, when the divine crystals are flooding, then spending money on it now will be a waste.
However, now, top bosses like Captain Ghost suddenly start spending money to acquire crystals, which is immediately understood by many people as a signal that the belief system is about to start.
For a time, the crystal purchase posters of other major forces also raised their prices following Muyou's price, so as not to fall behind others.
As a result, in just half a day, the average price of divine crystals on the forum increased rapidly by more than ten percentage points!
Mu You didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this, and hurriedly contacted other city lords in the city lord group to explain the situation.
"Ah? Great God, aren't you spending money because the belief system is about to be opened?" The city lords were also confused and hurriedly took the opportunity to ask.
"That's not true. I just encountered some personal matters and urgently needed a batch of divine points." Mu You explained: "As for when the belief system will be opened, I have no idea at all."
Although Mu You had previously contacted an administrator through a causal line, there was still doubt whether the other person was the founder of Fool Games, and they were unable to communicate.
Based on the difficulty of Tower of the Brave, it is likely that the belief system will not be launched until half a year or even a year later. Whether it can be launched in advance depends entirely on whether the game founder is prepared.
After Mu You's sincere explanation, the city lords gradually believed that this was a misunderstanding and hurriedly adjusted their purchase price.
When other forces saw that several major city lords had lowered their prices at the same time, they all realized that this might be an error. After several inquiries, they all followed the correction, and the crystal price slowly fell back.
This price turmoil had a certain impact on Mu You's acquisition. It took him about a day and a half to finally sell off all the church treasures.
The reward in exchange was a total of 1103 divine crystals!
As soon as he got the crystal, Mu You immediately controlled the character to return to the canyon where the bone dragon was.
[You ordered all the believers to arrange a total of 1,723 dragon bones in order, and finally assembled them into a bone dragon that meandered for hundreds of meters in the canyon...]
The joining work was carried out according to the 3D model obtained by Lin Xue's simulation software. Fortunately, there were so many manpower at his disposal, otherwise he would have wasted more than half a month on this work alone.
[You stand in front of the fully spliced dragon bone, injecting 1000 points of divinity into the dragon head! 】
[After receiving a huge injection of energy, the dragon head immediately let out a huge roar, and then all the scattered keel bones behind it automatically bonded and quickly connected into one. 】
[As the ground trembled, the entire bone dragon began to squirm quietly, and its speed became faster and faster, crawling rapidly in the canyon like a snake, until it got out of the canyon! 】
[In the shocked eyes of all the believers, the white bone dragon soared into the sky, hovering in the sky, flying into the clouds and mist, and kept letting out long roars from its mouth, releasing the joy of regaining freedom...]
[It was not until a few minutes later that the bone dragon finally regained its composure. It turned its head and plummeted towards the ground. Finally, amid the panic and exclamations of the believers, it landed safely on the sand. The dragon's head raised high above everyone. Scanning over, his eyes finally landed on you. 】
[After looking at each other for a second, the bone dragon lowered its head towards you, crawled on the ground, and showed a surrender gesture to you: "Master!"]
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the skull dragon did not break the agreement and actively chose to surrender after resurrection.
After coming back to his senses, Mu You immediately used the omniscient crystal to scan the bone dragon's information.
[Petrified Bone Dragon (Level 30): A 'petrified baby dragon' born in Dragon Valley, with the power to petrify enemies. Due to the long seal, it lost its flesh, flesh and strength, leaving only a pair of white bones. Now with your help Regained some strength. Star rating: 4 stars. Divine power 26, divine defense 39, real life: 1350. Abilities: True Creature, Stone Gaze, Venom Breath, Bone Dragon Bite. 】
[Petrifying Gaze: Creatures stared by the bone dragon, as well as hostile creatures attacking the bone dragon, will gradually fall into petrification. The speed of petrification depends on the intelligence value. 】
Sure enough, the resurrected bone dragon only has four stars, and there is still a gap of one star when facing the manticore. However, the ability of 'Petrified Gaze' is very good, which is equivalent to the upgraded version of the eyeball. In addition to the fact that the bone dragon will be petrified when it stares, it will be petrified by others. It also petrifies enemies when attacking, which is very useful.
Especially when combined with the Bone Dragon's real life of 1,350, converted into ordinary life, it is 13.5 million! Combined with the petrifying gaze, he is almost invincible to ordinary people in the star spirit world!
With the help of this bone dragon, Mu You finally had the confidence to challenge the one hundred thousand army and manticore.
