[COLLECTING]: General function, can quickly decompose biological corpses and extract the essence of matter.
Looking at the function bar in the attribute panel, Lu Ming said silently: "Ultimate Sublimation."
[PROMPT: Please select the sublimation grade, Tier 2/Tier 1]
Looking at the prompt, Lu Ming himself felt speechless. Sublimating anything, truly anything was encompassed, even a general function was not spared, was this a bug? Would he be punished for using it too excessively?
He was a little scared, but had no intention of holding back.
"It's stupid not to use divine skills, enjoy it first."
"Tier 1."
Logically, he should have directly chosen Tier 2 sublimation. Since there were no Specialized Crystal Blocks, he could only rely on privileges...
It was just his own curiosity, he wanted to see what the Tier 1 sublimation effect would be.
[PROMPT: Sublimating the general function "Collecting" requires the consumption of 2 million "Specialized Crystals". You have one unconditional consumption privilege. Confirm to use a privilege to upgrade the general function "Collecting" to the special function "Perfect Collect"?]
2 million Specialized Crystals?!
Lu Ming was stunned.
This was only Tier 1 sublimation, and the cost already exceeded the intrinsic value of Ultimate Sublimation. What about Tier 2?
He dared not imagine!
Could it be more heaven-defying than Ultimate Sublimation?!
View Perfect Collect.
[PERFECT COLLECT]: Special function, can quickly decompose biological corpses, and is guaranteed to extract all material essence produced by the organism. Range of effect is 5 meters.
Guaranteed to extract all material essence produced by the organism?
What does it mean? As long as it is something produced by a Larva of Faucon-Faux, it would be 100% produced regardless of probability?
Holy crap, if this is true, Perfect Collect is something that changes the drop rules, its value is immeasurable!
And Tier 1 effect is already so heaven-defying, what about Tier 2?
As the thought crossed his mind, Lu Ming felt his mouth go dry.
Unconsciously swallowing his saliva, Lu Ming reached out and tapped the button to cancel the Tier 1 sublimation, and then reactivated Ultimate Sublimation.
[PROMPT, please select the sublimation grade...]
"Tier 2."
[PROMPT: Sublimating the general function "Collecting" requires the consumption of 8 million "Specialized Crystals". You have one no-cost privilege. Confirm to use a privilege to upgrade the general function "Collecting" to a higher level?]
[CONFIRM (Consume 8 million Specialized Crystals)]
[CONFIRM (Consume one no-cost privilege)]
[CANCEL]
"..."
8 million Specialized Crystals?
According to the ratio of 1 Specialized Crystal = 100 Specialized Crystal Blocks = 10,000 Specialized Crystals, 8 million Specialized Crystals is already a astronomical figure!
Is this function really that terrifying after sublimation?
Wait, a higher level, not directly telling you what skill it sublimates into, which is consistent with the prompts for Ultimate Sublimation and Œil de Vérité.
It seems to be another grade that touches upon unknown territory. Lu Ming curved his lips, "Confirm to consume one privilege."
[PROMPT: The general function "Collecting" has been successfully sublimated to a higher level. As this level is appearing for the first time, and it is an evolved form of a general program function, it will be directly named by this program.]
[PROGRAM NAMING...]
[NAMING COMPLETE, FUNCTION TITLE: "Greed"]
[PROMPT: Function "Greed" sublimation is complete. This function has been forcibly converted into an exclusive function, exclusive owner: Lu Ming]
"This..."
A series of prompts made Lu Ming's eyes dizzy.
The most obvious difference was that the namer had changed from himself to the program itself.
Greed?
Looking at the function text, which had completely turned into bold black, Lu Ming felt something was wrong. The color did not look like something a righteous person would use, it was a bit sinister.
Click to view.
[GREED] (???)
Category: Exclusive Function
Effect: Can quickly decompose biological corpses and extract twice the amount of all material essence produced by the organism.Message:
Une excellente façon d'obtenir votre propre morceau de la vie, une excellente façon de vous sentir vivante.
Range of effect: 10 meters (will increase with the owner's target's level of specialization)
Function Trait: [Hand of Greed]
Function Trait: Grade exceeds limits, cannot be detected by any external force, disappears upon death.
Owner: [Lu Ming]
The display method of the function information has changed to skill status.
The effect description is only slightly better than Perfect Collect, with an additional effect of double output.
To be honest, this slight improvement in effect does not match the magnitude of 8 million Specialized Crystals, unless it has hidden attributes, or that trait called Hand of Greed has an extremely exaggerated effect.
Tap Hand of Greed.
[HAND OF GREED]: Like a starving man, unscrupulously extort all things in the world. Can extract biological corpses belonging to others. To extract, you must complete the extraction operation first, and you can choose the method during extraction.
Mercy: Single extraction, obtain one portion of material essence first, but do not affect others' extraction.
Cruelty: Double extraction, completely empty all material essence, others will no longer produce material when extracting.
"..."
Gazing fixedly at Hand of Greed, Lu Ming couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap."
What a preposterous function, directly stealing spoils of war belonging to others is acceptable?
If others spent countless manpower and resources to kill a King-level Creatures mutantes, and he just stood by, activated Cruelty mode, wouldn't that make a group unknowingly work for him for free? Even capitalists would shed tears at this effect.
"Worth it!"
Closing the information panel of Greed, Lu Ming almost split his lips to his ears.
To be fair, a righteous and kind good youth like him should not use such an immoral function.
But it was just too tempting.
Finally weighing the moral decay against fame and reputation, Lu Ming decided to maintain his image a little, only using it a little when necessary, really, just a "tiny" bit.
"Heh heh, cough cough cough."
He couldn't help but chuckle twice, then immediately realized it was undignified, so he covered his slyness with a dry cough, and regained his composure.
Now the problem of crystal output is completely resolved, and the resources to upgrade the knife are already available. Everything is ready, with no worries left, only waiting to kill every Larva of Faucon-Faux without leaving a single one.
He picked up the grande machette en acier inoxydable 420a again, looking at the dried mucus on the blade, Lu Ming said in a deep voice, "Ultimate Sublimation."
[PROMPT: Please select the sublimation grade.]
"Tier 1."
[PROMPT: Sublimating the tool [grande machette en acier inoxydable 420a] requires the consumption of 2 Specialized Crystals.]
[CONFIRM]
[CANCEL]
Very smart. After using up the three privileges, the prompts became concise.
"Confirm."
[PROMPT: Please select the sublimation direction, "Traditional Straight Sword", "Big Knife", "Katana".]
"Traditional Straight Sword."
Whoosh!
The machete in his hand instantly decomposed into particles, and then recondensed after rotating and folding.
In just one second, a straight sword with a sharp silver blade and a brown-yellow hilt appeared in his hand.
As he gripped the hilt, Lu Ming was caught off guard by the sudden increase in weight.
Fortunately, he clenched it with all his might, barely stabilizing it. If the straight sword had fallen, it would have been a bit awkward, and if seen by others, they would have thought he was deficient in energy.
[PROMPT: The tool [grande machette en acier inoxydable 420a] has been successfully sublimated into the ordinary weapon "Traditional Straight Sword".]
