Chapter 66 -66: The Divine Artifact - Magic Power of the Divine
"Master, things went very smoothly. Demon Blood has already obtained Pan's divine attribute and brought it back. The other party indeed had malicious intentions, or rather, it is highly likely that it is no longer the god Pan of the half-sheep people," said Black Hand with a respectful tone.
Qin Muye, who was reading a book, was surprised by this; he hadn't expected it to be so quick. However, he quickly realized that a day had already passed, and the coordination between internal and external efforts could indeed be swift.
"This is Pan's divine attribute. Please take a look," Black Hand passed the divine attribute to Qin Muye.
At first glance, it appeared quite normal, filled with nature and vitality, making one feel as if they were enjoying the freshness of a spring day, both body and mind falling into a kind of joy.
However, Qin Muye restrained this thought. To him, this was not a good feeling at all. It was comfortable, but it was like being lured by someone.
[Magic Power Infused Divine Attribute]
[Level: Divine Artifact]
[Attribute]
[Attack Power +50%]
[Defensive Power +50%]
[Power +50%]
[Knowledge +50%]
[Harvest from farming, collection, hunting +100%]
[Half-sheep troop type production doubled weekly] [Recruitment cost for half-sheep troop types halved]
[Daily Magic Value Limit +1, Life Value Limit -1]
[Daily chance of causing flesh anomalies in troops within the territory]
[Once held, all heroes and troops in the territory enjoy the attribute bonuses]
Apart from the two tricky entries, the rest were terrifying, especially the one that doubled the harvest.
"This thing... has it taken effect?" Qin Muye hesitantly looked at his suddenly skyrocketing attributes.
"Yes, Master. It takes effect as soon as you retrieve it, and the entire territory is affected. Even if you put it in the item slot or the Supplies Warehouse, the effect remains the same," said Black Hand helplessly.
Qin Muye's expression darkened. The half-sheep deity was truly detestable, daring to trick him.
He hadn't expected it to take effect immediately upon acquisition.
"Dispose of it!" Qin Muye asserted forcefully.
The item may be good, but it was a trap. Just the daily reduction of the Life Value Limit alone was undoubtedly the other party's intention for a blood sacrifice.
"We can't dispose of it; it seems to be bound to us now, Master. Look..." Black Hand said cautiously, clearly feeling responsible since it was his suggestion that led to this predicament.
Qin Muye sighed, "A divine being is still a divine being. This time I'll take the fall for you, but you must understand next time. If it's not necessary, there's no need to provoke such existences."
He took the Magic Power Infused Divine Attribute and directly tossed it as an investment into the Angel Investor event.
The next moment, the divine power and magic power affecting the entire territory vanished instantly, and the enhancements they provided also disappeared without a trace.
"Master, that's a clever solution. But if you make a hundredfold return this time, wouldn't the returned divine attribute also be a hundred times stronger?" Black Hand hadn't expected Qin Muye to do such a thing.
Qin Muye rolled his eyes, "What's there to fear? When the time comes, I'll put it up on the Trading House. If someone buys it, I'll give it to them. If nobody buys it, I'll just keep it listed. Let Pan go and demand it back from 'Lord Era' if he's so inclined."
"If it comes to it, I'll toss it in the store and sell it for some Gold Coin."
This time, Black Hand was truly stunned; he had never thought such a thing was possible.
His ingrained way of thinking made him revere 'Lord Era', which is why it had never occurred to him.
But Qin Muye was different; he was a very pure person who simply wanted to live-and to live better at that. He would use the rules to his advantage when he could, abide by them when advantageous, and look for loopholes when they were not.
"Let Demon Blood and Evil Tongue go find Pan, and tell him that if he wants any Divine, he should come see me. Otherwise, he can just wait to die," Qin Muye said with annoyance.
"Wait, just seeing me is enough. I'll find a chance to lock him up in the Prison first before I go."
After thinking it over, Qin Muye decided to be more cautious. After all, his life was the most important thing to him.
"After locking him up, have Demon Blood beat him half to death, and let Evil Tongue curse him with all sorts of debuffs before calling me over to see him."
Being in Prison still didn't seem secure enough, so he had to make sure the other person was half-dead first.
One must be self-aware when weak.
Calculating against me equates to malice, malice equates to enemy, enemy equates to danger, and danger must be avoided. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
So, to avoid others calculating against me, I must beat them until they cannot calculate anything at all.
"Yes, Master." Black Hand had no objections to Qin Muye's orders and was even considering being more ruthless.
After Black Hand left, Qin Muye let out a sigh: "I'm just a scholar with little strength to speak of, why must they force me into this."
Back then, the day I was honored, it was a time of great glory.
Now what? In order to survive, I dare not even leave my house and can only shrink back, read books, study, and conduct research.
Fortunately, having endured nine years of compulsory education and ten years of arduous studying in two lifetimes, this didn't count for much to him.
[Fang Miao refines the alien water Blue Nether Demonic Ice Water, advances to the ninth stage of Qi Refinement, the "Void Technique" evolves into Yellow Rank Top Grade, your investment yield +1, your remaining total yield: 9.3]
"The first alien water? It directly added 1 to my yield, it seems that it's truly time to rise," Qin Muye mused upon seeing the updated notice. Prior increases had been 0.1 or 0.2, but this time, a direct increase of 1 yield was quite striking.
[Fang Miao invents a new, growable Divine Skill called "Four Seas Dragon Soaring"; your investment yield +0.1, your remaining total yield: 9.4]
[Fang Miao wins first place at the Talisman Master's conference; your investment yield +0.1, your remaining total yield: 9.5]
Time in the investment world was passing swiftly, and Fang Miao began to continually break out after obtaining the Blue Nether Demonic Ice Water.
But not everything was about profit; there were also losses, such as being pursued by the Yin
God Temple, naturally because the Nascent Soul Stage Residual Soul Talisman in his hand was
getting old.
This "Sky Breaking" is a Cultivation World, and of course, the realms are Body Refining, Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Crossing Tribulation, and Mahayana.
The Netherworld Emperor is a Cultivator at the Peak of Mahayana, one step away from
Ascension.
Unfortunately, it seems he lacked something and has been stuck at the Peak of Mahayana. "The three-year pact seems to be approaching," Qin Muye suddenly remembered.
At the moment, it's highly likely that he will break through the Foundation Establishment Stage; after that, naturally comes face-slapping, and once the face-slapping is done, it's time
to switch maps and continue leveling up.
This is only the beginning, not the end. "After the three-year pact, I might consider making additional investments."
Qin Muye thought about whether to stuff his only Intermediate Treasure, the Bidirectional
Teleportation Gate, into the deal.
After all, this could lead to a huge profit.
As for other Treasures, he had considered them as well, but who knew if earning too much might lead to backlash.
Investors indeed cannot interfere with the instance they invest in, but the "Lord Era," as the
host, surely can.
Moreover, Fang Miao being the protagonist is just a conjecture by Qin Muye with no solid proof; he can afford to lose the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate, but unless the situation is clear before closing, he won't make a heavy bet.
