Chapter 152: 153. To practice divine skills, castrate oneself with a knife_1
Translator: 549690339
âHoly shit!â Su Yu swore, a rare occurrence, âHow did you get that?â
âHehe, well that takes us back to the final trial that Chenâs Stormstout gave me â A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated typed out a lengthy text in the chat box.
As it turned out, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated had just completed a final trial named [Rescue of the Godâs Child], in which he rescued a huge turtle named [Godâs Child] floating in the sea.
Because he nearly aced the entire trial, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was awarded an âSSâ grade.
âDing, the [Rescue of the Godâs Child] scenario campaign is completed, the reward grade is being generated â
âYour reward grade for this round is âSSâ, you are awarded: Experience Points x2000.â
âYou can choose one of the following two rewards as your final prize.â
âAs your guild owns territory, you have an additional choice.â
The three options were:
1, [Internal Skill Method: The Flower Picking Manual (Epic)]
Note: To successfully cultivate this Divine Skill, one must castrate oneself. If not castrated, practicing the skill will cause heat to rise within your body, leading to combusting Side effects: Male NPCâs favorability towards you -20, Female NPCâs favorability towards you -30.
Note: Although Heavenly Dominating Skill is extremely powerful, it has a significant inconvenience: one must rejuvenate to youth once each month. After rejuvenation, all progress in cultivating the skill resets. Moreover, one must consume fresh blood at noon each day in order to train.
3, [Yulon Idol]
Effect: Offering tributes to the idol boosts your territories with the [Wind Calls Rain Orderly] buff
Besides basic skills, a martial artist can learn [Internal Skill Method], [Guardian Skills], [Swift Skills]. This task offers two choices of [Internal Skill Method] as a reward.
However, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated wasnât satisfied with either of those two options.
Firstly, [The Flower Picking Manual].
If he chose this, he would become a eunuch for the rest of his gaming career? It feels distressing just thinking about it;
Secondly, the [Heavenly Dominating Skill]. Despite the impressive name, it required monthly recoiling and consumption of fresh blood each day at noon Just the thought of drinking fresh blood every day makes A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated feel nauseated.
The third option was the [Yulon Idol].
Dissatisfied with both skill methods, and bearing in mind Nemesis urgently needs the [Yulon Idol], A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated promptly chose the third one.
After all, with his capabilities, he would inevitably get high-quality internal skill methods sooner or later. Thereâs no rush.
Su Yu: âA Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, do you have a [mail box] on your ship?â
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: âHang on. Let me see Yes, I do.â
Su Yu: âHurry up and send me the [Yulon Idol] via mail! Charge me for the postage.â
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: âOkay, Iâll send it to you now.â
A little while later, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated replied, âThe mail has been sent.â
Su Yu: âThank you so much! Letâs consider all our previous debts settled! If I need any more materials in the future, Iâll buy them from you at a generous price!â
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: âDonât mention it. If you need anything else in the future, just ask. Iâll see what I can do to help get it I have another task to tackle, letâs chat more later!â
Su Yu: âMm, goodbye.â
After closing the private chat interface, Su Yu received a game prompt on his end: âYouâve received a high-value mail. Please check it.â
In the game, players could send items or equipment to other players through the [mail box], with any mail being delivered almost instantly. The mail was valid for 7 days, and any unclaimed mail would disappear after those 7 days.
And the further the distance, the higher the postage fee.
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was almost at the Pandamen Empire, so the postage for this event could be as much as a thousand spiritual energy coins!
But this amount meant nothing to Su Yu.
Once Tinaâs main storyline reached a pause, he could return to his estate and place the [Yulon Idol]!
Su Yu looked up at Tina, not knowing when sheâd wake up.
As he looked at Tina, he suddenly noted there was something off about her.
She was still sound asleep.
However, her small face had become extremely red and her breathing was increasingly erratic, sometimes slow, sometimes fast.
Also, beneath her closed eyelids, her eyes were moving frantically, as if she were having a nightmare or something.
âTina? Tina?â
Su Yu tried to wake her up, but Tina didnât respond at all.
Su Yu hurried over and felt her forehead.
It was boiling hot and burning his hand.
He then placed his hand over her heart to check her pulse.
Tinaâs heart rate was significantly abnormal, sometimes beating so fast it was like it was going to jump out of her throat, and other times it was slow like Flash Slothmore from âZootopiaâ.
Su Yu stood up, ready to head to the Temple of Light and find a high-ranking priest to heal Tina.
Just as he was doing this, he received a game notification:
âDing, [Saint of Orleans City (11/100)] has been updated.â
âTask requirement: Tina appears to be in some sort of ânightmareâ state, please inform the Unicorn Knights Commander, Grace, of her situation promptly.â
Informing Grace could work too.
Having received the game prompt, Su Yu strode out of the rest room.
Outside the room, the goblin Vina Blackgold had been waiting for quite some time.
As soon as he saw Su Yu come out, he sighed in relief and quickly said with a servile smile, âBoss Nemesis, youâre out at last! Weâve made over fifteen million spiritual energy coins profit this time! â
âNevermind that for now, keep your eye on the rest roomâs door. Donât let anyone in until I come back!â
âUh Okay.â
10 minutes later, Su Yu returned to the rest room with Commander Grace.
By then, Tinaâs ânightmare stateâ had worsened significantly.
Tinaâs condition showed no sign of improvement even though her eyes remained shut. Moreover, her golden aura was swirling and surging, the sofa beneath her shredded by the tempestuous energy, leaving only fragments strewn around her on the floor.
Graceâs face hardened as she quickly knelt beside Tina to examine her.
After a while, she lifted her head and looked at Su Yu, âNemesis, I think I know the reason.â
âWhatâs wrong with Tina?â
âTina is in this state because she has a strong fixation in her heart.â Graceâs face had a grave expression.
âA fixation?â
âYes, Tina has had this fixation for a long time. It wasnât strong, it helped with her development to some extent, so I didnât pay it much attention.â
Su Yu nodded, he also knew about the âfixation in Tinaâs heartâ.
During the quest [Centaurâs Lingering Feelings], the last part of the quest would lead to Dimaâs death and Tinaâs transformation to darkness. Su Yu was supposed to enter Tinaâs subconscious mind and defeat a boss called [Tinaâs Perseverance] to complete the quest.
However, changing the course of the storyline by spending a fortune to hire a priest to heal Dima, Tina didnât transform to darkness, and [Tinaâs Perseverance], the boss, was stalled.
Unexpectedly, at this point, the boss [Tinaâs Perseverance] reappeared causing trouble.
