Shameless!
Zhang Tai cursed in his heart, calling him "Uncle Gu" when nothing happened, but now that he had something to ask for, he immediately changed his name to "Uncle Gu".
After listening to Su Ze's story, Gu Chenguang was stunned for a moment... Can rare objects be used to upgrade skills?
After reaching the Saint level, everyone has the ability to upgrade their own skills, and they will also be sensitive to upgrade materials suitable for them.
However, the induction of ordinary saint-level overlords is very weak. They can only sense it when they come into contact with materials at close range, unlike Su Ze who can sense it from a few meters away.
But this kind of induction is usually not wrong. Since Su Ze has sensed it, it means that this strange object will indeed improve him.
Gu Chenguang pondered for a moment and said, "Just use it first, and then you can pay it back slowly after you contribute a little."
If it were a fifth-level rare item like the Eye of Dreamweaver, Gu Chenguang might still be reluctant to part with it, but the Eye of Insight... although it was a fifth-level rare item, there were not many opportunities to use it.
Its role is too limited, and it has been sitting in the treasury collecting dust for a long time.
In this case, it is better to use it as a personal favor and deepen the bond between Su Ze and Dong Li.
Gu Chenguang knew very well that Su Ze was not a native of Dongli. His sense of belonging to Dongli was nothing more than the help Dongli provided him while growing up, and the fact that Liu Wenyin and Sun Xiayun, who were close to him, were both from Dongli. .
As for Ya Ge, the other new patron saint of Dongli, everyone can see that he stayed in Dongli because of Su Ze.
Su Ze is too important to Dong Li now. As long as he maintains a good relationship with Su Ze, it is equivalent to retaining two patron saints.
Therefore, Gu Chenguang did not hesitate to increase investment in Su Ze.
Of course, Su Ze was not polite. He thanked him and left the Dongli Treasury.
He was not in a hurry to go back and absorb these newly obtained upgrade materials, but flew directly towards the largest Evolution Technology store in Dongping City.
He and Xu Sheng made an appointment to meet there. Today, Xu Sheng specially collected materials from all stores in Dongli above the fourth level for Su Ze to choose.
Su Ze planned to collect all the materials and absorb them all at once.
…
Arriving at Evolution Technology's flagship store in the center of Dongping City, Su Ze saw at a glance the big red banner hanging in front of the door that read "Warmly welcome Su Ze, Patron Saint, to our store."
This guy... Su Ze shook his head helplessly, Xu Sheng still liked to do this.
However, in order not to attract attention, Su Ze specially changed his appearance with the ever-changing mask this time.
At this time, the store was already crowded inside and outside, and many people were squatting here waiting for Su Ze to appear.
Su Ze easily squeezed into the store, and his sensory tentacles immediately found Xu Sheng in the living room at the back. He effortlessly avoided everyone's sight and went directly to the living room.
Seeing a person suddenly appear in the living room, Xu Sheng was startled, but when he saw Su Ze take off the disguise on his face and return to his true self, he immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Mr. Su, your arrival has made our store full of excitement." Piper shines brightly!"
"Okay, if it's useless, just say less. Where are the materials?" Su Ze got straight to the point.
Xu Sheng began to take out storage items one after another from his body...
On Blue Star, the storage props used by everyone are made from the fruits of the fifth-level spiritual plant Qiankun Wood. The internal space is limited, so Xu Sheng brought more than a dozen storage props to fit everything.
Su Ze checked the storage props one by one. In order not to miss any material, he poured all the items on the table and moved closer to the sensors one by one.
If he finds that there is material that resonates with him, he will take it aside.
Soon, Su Ze had sifted through more than half of the materials and selected four or five strengthening materials. However, none of the upgrade materials that could give him a strong induction had appeared.
When Su Ze poured out all the items in a storage ring, he was suddenly shocked, and his eyes were immediately attracted to one of the black stones!
"What's that?" he asked, pointing to the black stone.
"A rare ore called 'magnetic drill' is a fourth-order material that only appeared after the beginning of the evolutionary era. It has strong magnetism." Xu Sheng briefly introduced.
After a rain of evolution, not only humans, animals and plants have changed, but also many strange ores have appeared underground. The most common one is the lead mine that can be used to make extractors.
These ores have different functions, and people classify them according to their functions like evolutionary materials.
"Magnetic diamond", as a fourth-order ore, is already quite rare in Blue Star.
Maybe it’s because Blue Star has only started its evolutionary era for a thousand years and has not yet been able to produce a large amount of high-level ores.
After hearing Xu Sheng's introduction, Su Ze roughly guessed that this magnetic drill was a material that could upgrade the "Gravity Dust" skill!
"Very good, I found two upgrade materials! At least I can upgrade two skills!" Su Ze was secretly happy. This went more smoothly than he imagined.
Among the remaining materials, Su Ze found two or three more strengthening materials, but no more upgrade materials were encountered.
Doing the math, he harvested a total of one upgrade material "magnetic drill" and seven strengthening materials here.
To this end, Su Ze paid a total of more than 10 million points.
After the transaction was completed, Su Ze made another list and handed it to Xu Sheng, saying: "Please help me pay attention to the extracts on this."
What he listed were all extracts written by Liu Wenyin to him, containing the high-level skills he needed. These extracts were all fourth-level high-level ones and were not easy to collect.
At least he checked the official websites of Evolution Technology and Life Pharmaceuticals, and found that they were both out of stock.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll do it right away." Xu Sheng agreed immediately.
With Su Ze's promotion to Saint-level Overlord, Xu Sheng is now more valued within the group company. As long as he maintains a good cooperative relationship with Su Ze, he is likely to advance to a higher level within the company.
"One more thing, you go ask your company if there is a fifth-level high-level extract suitable for melee evolvers for sale. I can exchange it for another tube of spiritual fifth-level high-level extract. If there is a difference in value, I can Make up the difference," Su Ze said.
He must prepare the fifth-level extract early.
If he can absorb a tube of fifth-level extract suitable for him and obtain a fifth-level skill, his strength will be greatly improved, which is greater than the improvement brought by upgrading his skills.
When the time comes to face the Shepherd King, he will be more confident.
"Okay!" Xu Sheng agreed quickly, feeling very excited. This was another big deal.
Su Ze put on the ever-changing mask again, changed his face, and left the Evolution Technology store in a low profile.
…
Back in the villa of Dongli University, Su Ze glanced around and found no one.
Everyone went out and went about their own business.
He poured out all the materials in the living room and began to absorb them one by one.
He absorbed the strengthening materials first, leaving the two upgrade materials for last.
Just like his eating habits when he was a child, he always liked to save the best dishes for last.
Pieces of materials were absorbed by him, and his skills were continuously strengthened...
Each strengthening material will strengthen a certain aspect of one of his skills.
According to Su Ze's idea, these thirteen strengthening materials must be able to upgrade two or three of his skills, but the reality was quite different from what he thought.
Some skills were strengthened in directions he had not expected. Even those skills that were already at level four would be strengthened.
Only then did Su Ze realize why Liu Wenyin said that directly finding upper-level skill coverage was the easiest and easiest way. He wanted to rely on these fragmentary strengthening materials to upgrade skills, but found that the direction of strengthening, or even which skill to strengthen, was unclear. Not under his control at all.
Sometimes two pieces of strengthening materials would even "collide". As soon as one piece of strengthening material was absorbed, the other piece of strengthening material would cause him to lose his sense and become unable to absorb it.
This shows that these two materials strengthen the same aspect of the same skill.
In the end, Su Ze only successfully absorbed eleven of the thirteen strengthening materials.
There is only one skill that can be upgraded, but some other skills have been strengthened to varying degrees.
Next, Su Ze began to absorb two upgrade materials, "Magnetic Drill" and "Eye of Insight".
The black magnetic diamond is heavy. If you look closely, you can see that its texture is very strange. It looks like metal and stone, and it has the luster of crystals.
As Su Ze's evolutionary power was injected into it, the hard magnetic drill melted into a mercury-like liquid and flowed into Su Ze's body.
Su Ze could feel the mercury-like magnetic drill flowing through his body, and an energy was separated from it and continuously integrated into his body.
The magnetic drill circled inside his body and came out of his other hand, returning to its original appearance of a black stone.
However, Su Ze could clearly feel that its weight had become lighter, and the luster on it was no longer there, as if it had turned into an ordinary black stone.
Obviously, something in it was absorbed by Su Ze, causing this fourth-level ore to lose its original value.
Su Ze sensed it carefully and looked satisfied. As expected, his "Gravity Dust" skill had been upgraded!
With a rush of energy, Su Ze picked up the Eye of Insight and prepared to absorb this fifth-level rare object as well.
However, no matter whether he held it in his hand or injected the power of evolution into it, he failed to absorb this fifth-level rare object, which made Su Ze feel a little embarrassed for a while.
He has never absorbed a strange object.
Injecting the power of evolution into it is equivalent to using this strange object directly without absorbing it.
Su Ze began to think about possible methods... shed blood to identify the master? Eat it alive?
The former is unrealistic and the latter is a bit disgusting.
Thinking that this was actually a spiritual wonder, Su Ze integrated his spiritual power into the Eye of Insight.
Unexpectedly, he was actually fooled. He immediately felt a strange energy spreading along his spiritual power and entering his body.
This strange energy is between the power of evolution and spiritual power, and seems to be a fusion of the two.
When Su Ze's mental power was integrated into this energy, he immediately felt a pain in his brain, and his mental power began to increase.
This is the first time that mental power will be strengthened during the skill upgrade process.
However, it is not unusual to think that since upgrading skills can strengthen one's physical strength, one can also improve one's mental strength.
In Su Ze's body, a small part of the power of evolution was uncontrollably blended with spiritual power.
Originally, these are two completely different existences. The power of evolution is more substantial energy, while the spiritual power is incomprehensible, and the two cannot be integrated.
But under the influence of the strange energy from the Eye of Insight, Su Ze's mental power actually merged with the power of evolution.
The virtual and the real are not incompatible... Su Ze thought that his "Indomitable Will" skill was not the fusion of mental power with his physical body.
With the help of this strange energy, Su Ze successfully mastered the method of fusing the power of evolution with spiritual power, and the remaining strange energy seemed to have completed its mission, split into two, half integrated into Su Ze's body, and half integrated into Su Ze's spirit.
This strange energy was strengthening Su Ze's body, making his physique improve at a considerable speed.
It's just that Su Ze didn't have the heart to pay attention to the improvement of his physical fitness. At this moment, his consciousness seemed to have entered another world, and he "saw" another self.
He is completely transparent!
This is my spiritual body, the so-called soul... Su Ze seemed to have some realization.
The spiritual body is originally invisible and cannot be "seen", but the strange energy remaining in the eyes of insight allows him to sense his own soul.
At this time, the strange energy integrated into Su Ze's spirit was consumed rapidly, and Su Ze's mental power was also constantly improving...
He took this opportunity to carefully examine his soul, and for a moment he didn't know what words to use to describe the invisible thing.
What is this... He suddenly discovered a foreign object in his soul!
It was an extremely tiny, rice-like thing that seemed to be integrated with Su Ze's soul.
This foreign object, like Su Ze's soul, is also invisible in itself. If the strange energy hadn't given him the opportunity to observe his own soul, he would never have been able to discover it!
Su Ze was connected to his own soul, and what he was sure of was that this foreign object was not part of his soul.
Just when he was about to observe further, the strange energy integrated into his spirit was exhausted, and Su Ze's consciousness suddenly returned to his body.
What it is!
Su Ze looked serious and took this very seriously.
The presence of foreign matter in the soul is absolutely not normal and cannot be ignored.
He closed his eyes and wanted to enter the same state again, but all the strange energy was exhausted and he couldn't do it.
"Skills, by the way, the newly upgraded skills..." Su Ze suddenly reacted, wondering if the newly upgraded skills would allow him to observe his own soul.
But after trying it for a while, I could only give up in disappointment.
The upgrade this time is indeed the "Eye of Truth" skill, but it does not have the effect of seeing into the soul.
The worry about the foreign object in his soul outweighed the joy of upgrading his skills. Su Ze planned to ask Liu Wenyin later.
With this "Eye of True" skill upgrade, Su Ze's physique has been greatly improved, and his mental power has also increased considerably. This may be related to the fact that he absorbed the fifth-level eye of insight into strange objects.
Compared with other upgrade materials and strengthening materials, the Eye of Insight is much more precious.
This major skill upgrade cost him more than 10 million points and 9 million contribution points just to purchase various materials. He also owed a debt of 100 million contribution points.
Currently, Su Ze still has 30 million evolutionary technology points and 13 million contribution points.
The large expenditure resulted in the complete upgrade of three skills and the strengthening of several other skills in various aspects.
The three skills upgraded this time are "Gravity Dust", "Eye of Truth", and "Rhinoceros".
The "Gravity Dust" skill may need to be renamed now, because after the upgrade, this skill no longer needs to rely on the previous golden dust to control the surrounding gravity.
Su Ze decided to rename the upgraded "Gravity Dust" to "Gravity Field".
Gravity field: You can control the gravity of the surrounding area to a certain extent, and you can also condense a gravitational chain to pull distant targets in front of you.
The upgraded "Gravity Field" skill allows Su Ze to no longer rely on gravitational dust as a medium to control the surrounding gravity. In addition, without the conspicuous golden dust, the gravitational chain will become more difficult for enemies to guard against.
As for the enlarged range and stronger power of gravity control, this is an inevitable improvement in skill upgrades and needs no further elaboration.
As for the "Eye of Truth" skill, the upgrade direction this time is to integrate it with spiritual power.
The sensory tentacles released by the previous "Eye of Reality" were completely condensed by the power of evolution, relying on "touching" rather than "seeing".
This also led to the fact that Su Ze could only perceive tangible things. Although his perception was subtle and could even detect dust and even microorganisms, he was unable to perceive intangible things.
He cannot perceive color, he cannot perceive light...
He could sense someone playing on his phone through a wall, but he couldn't see what he was playing on.
He could also sense what clothes a girl was wearing a hundred meters away, but he couldn't see what color the clothes were.
But with mental exploration, these are not problems. Mental exploration is equivalent to letting your eyes go out and look everywhere.
The previous "Eye of Reality" and mental power detection each have their own advantages. In comparison, the "Eye of Reality" is more practical.
First of all, the sensory tentacles are difficult to detect by others, and if you use mental power to detect, once you encounter someone with stronger mental power than yourself, you will be exposed instantly.
Secondly, the "Eye of Truth" has the effect of seeing through illusions and pointing to the essence. However, mental power can easily be blinded and hindered. This was reflected when exploring the spacecraft. The mental power of others was hindered by the fog. Su Ze The sensory tentacles are not affected.
In addition, the sensory tentacles can be used as a medium to conduct other skills, such as conducting electricity, because it is a tangible thing, unlike mental power which is intangible.
The now upgraded "Eye of Truth" skill releases sensory tentacles that combine spiritual power and evolutionary power. It can be said to combine the best of both worlds.
In other words, the sensory tentacles released now are "touching and seeing", and the images fed back to Su Ze's mind are more specific and clearer.
In addition, there is a huge improvement, that is, the range of perception has become larger.
Now, as long as Su Ze is willing, he can expand the perception range of the "Eye of Truth" to the entire Dongping City.
However, the cost of expanding the range is a loss of detail and a decrease in clarity.
If Su Ze did this, he would only be able to vaguely perceive the general situation of the entire Dongping City, as if everything had been mosaicd in large sizes.
However, if any enemy invades, he can still catch it immediately.
In other words, Su Ze can monitor the entire Dongping City like a holy envoy.
In addition, the sensory tentacles he releases have become smaller, which means it is harder to be detected by others.
Moreover, after the sensory tentacles are fused with mental power, they gain the same ability to penetrate terrain regardless of the terrain as mental power.
Eye of Truth: Fusion of the power of evolution and mental power, condensed into countless sensory tentacles, and released from the eyes, it can have a full range of perception capabilities for the coverage of the sensory tentacles, and can freely adjust the perception range. The smaller the perception range, the greater the perception. The stronger the ability.
After this skill was upgraded by absorbing the fifth-level strange object, Su Ze was no longer sure of its current specific level, but it had definitely reached or even exceeded the category of fourth-level skills.
The last "Rhinoceros" skill is an upgrade that relies on various strengthening materials and is strengthened in all aspects.
Rhinoceros: Lock on a target within the range and launch a charge towards it regardless of the terrain. All living beings collided with during the charge will receive impact damage and fall into a dazed state. The target life form will receive double impact damage and stun effects. During the charge, Immune to physical damage and difficult to hit.
This skill first strengthens the charge and adds the effect of "ignoring terrain".
In other words, if there is a wall between him and the enemy, as long as he can lock on to the enemy on the other side of the wall, he can cross the wall and charge directly to the enemy.
And there is no need to crash through the wall, which means there is a "wall-penetrating" effect. No matter whether there is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire in between, he can directly cross it.
In addition, the impact damage caused by charging has been strengthened. Now "Rhinoceros" is also a group attack skill.
Finally, the defense ability during the charge has been strengthened. In the past, the defense ability was only greatly improved, but now it is directly immune to physical damage.
The enhancement in all aspects makes this skill truly enter the ranks of fourth-level skills.
The above are the three skills that have been upgraded.
As for the enhancement of other skills, they are piecemeal. Su Ze plans to wait until the upgrade is completely completed before making a summary.
Su Ze kept thinking about the "foreign object" in his soul, and he felt uneasy for a while.
It wasn't until the evening when Liu Wenyin came back from get off work that he immediately told Liu Wenyin about the matter.
After listening to this, Liu Wenyin's face became solemn. Because she had too little information, she could not determine what the foreign object was for a while.
"The soul, that is, the spirit, is the most private part of a person, and it is also the most difficult place to explore. Even a spiritual overlord like Principal Zhou, or even a spiritual supreme master, cannot penetrate into the foreign matter in your soul." Liu Wenyin He shook his head and said, "But the soul should be the purest thing. There can be no foreign matter. If there is, it is definitely not a good thing."
After listening to Liu Wenyin's analysis, Su Ze frowned even more... Intuitively, he also felt that the foreign object was not good.
Where did this thing come from?
Su Ze thought about it and wanted to scold her. He just traveled through time and occupied a body, and it was still a cloned body. Why did he feel like there was something wrong with this body!
The stinking heart, the foreign body in the soul... is it over?
Thanks to Mr. Da Mao for the leader reward, and to book friend 20230608192012181 for the 20,000-coin reward. I owe the leader more updates first. I don’t have time to write today.
