No selling!
Absolutely can't sell!
Even if we are as poor as a church mouse, and have to take a loan from the system, this kind of good thing absolutely cannot be sold!
Xiaofei is currently very poor, but to obtain a B-grade treasure like the Temporal Positioning Card is simply a stroke of luck. If he doesn't make good use of it and just sells it for energy points, that would be too foolish!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiaofei continued to observe the attribute enhancement interface.
He tried clicking the 【+】 sign behind "Spirit," not clicking much, just +1, and found that it required 100 energy points. Clicking the 【+】 sign behind attributes like "Strength," "Stamina," and "Agility" only cost 10 energy points, which made him curious: "What's going on? Why does enhancing Spirit cost so much more energy than the other attributes?"
"Host, because your Spirit has already exceeded 100 points. The higher the attribute value, the harder it is to enhance, and the more energy points it consumes. For each additional digit, the consumption is ten times the previous amount!"
"Is that so!"
Xiaofei nodded, indicating understanding, but this ratio is really a pain in the neck!
Muttering, Xiaofei began to try clicking the 【+】 sign behind the proficient skills and ability skills, and then he was even more speechless, "To enhance by one level, it actually requires 100 and 1000 energy points, and each subsequent level doubles the consumption. The first few levels are fine, but by the time you reach levels 7 and 8, the consumption is in the hundreds of thousands or even millions! It's as painful as it gets!"
Xiaofei was frustrated. Why does the Temporal Traveler feel more and more like an online game after upgrading? But these are not important; the most important thing is that he is so poor!
If only he had a skill upgrade card or a skill adjustment card, that would be a wonderful thing!
Xiaofei now misses the feeling of drawing lots in the past.
Speaking of drawing lots, the Grand Temporal Lottery has also changed. The 36 options and six categories remain unchanged, but the countdown has been canceled, and there is no longer a time limit. Additionally, a refresh button has been added below the big wheel. If you are dissatisfied with the lottery items, you can spend 10,000 energy points to refresh the items. Each subsequent refresh doubles the cost.
At the same time, the lottery eligibility for the Grand Temporal Lottery can be obtained not only through system rewards but also by spending 100,000 energy points to get one lottery chance. The purchased lottery eligibility also has a special privilege: the Grand Temporal Lottery prizes have a chance to include special items such as double rewards, random doubling, another draw, three consecutive draws, and "Thank you for your participation," etc.
The rewards are tempting, but the probability is quite low, only 0.0001%!
Xiaofei doesn't have much hope!
...
Xiaofei has finished understanding the upgrade information of the Temporal Traveler.
In the following time, Xiaofei began to ponder how to earn more energy points. After all, this is related to his future life and safety, and he must consider it carefully.
There's no point thinking about the real world. The number of people who know him worldwide doesn't exceed 200, and this is just recognition. Those who believe in and worship him are almost non-existent. With such little popularity, where can he collect willpower and fortune?
In the end, it still depends on the training in the Temporal Worlds!
Switching the interface back to the homepage of the "website," Xiaofei looked at the rows of movie covers, lost in deep thought.
The time ratio between the Temporal Worlds and the real world is about 360:1, meaning that staying in the Temporal World for one year is equivalent to only about 24 hours in the real world. Life in the real world is relatively ordinary, and almost nothing significant happens in a day or two. Xiaofei doesn't have to worry about the time difference affecting him significantly.
After three temporal travels, Xiaofei has already fallen in love with the feeling of wandering through different times, experiencing, and battling. This makes him feel very fulfilled and excited, even if he dies, it won't be in vain.
After living an ordinary life for over ten days, Xiaofei is eager to enter a new Temporal World.
"So many worlds, which one should I choose?"
Xiaofei is a bit conflicted.
When you lack freedom, you yearn for it, but when you are truly free, you can't help but feel lost. Perhaps this is human nature!
Someone once said that humans must have pressure and desire, because only then can they unleash far more powerful energy than they can imagine. Without these, humans are no different from pigs!
Xiaofei's pressure is not non-existent, but compared to before, it is indeed much smaller.
Well...
Facing the sky-high prices of items in the Temporal Mall, Xiaofei feels the pressure is as heavy as Mount Tai.
Xiaofei has pressure!
Not only that, but Xiaofei also has a great dream—immortality!
This dream is a desire, a greed, a luxury, and also a driving force. It and the pressure will drive Xiaofei to keep moving forward, no matter how difficult the obstacles, he will not hesitate!
Xiaofei, who suffers from choice anxiety, can only seek help from the Temporal Traveler, "System, do you have any good suggestions for choosing a Temporal World?"
The Temporal Traveler said, "Host, if your goal is energy points, I suggest you choose Temporal Worlds with more black technology. As long as you can obtain some outstanding black technology, you can exchange for a considerable amount of energy points. You can also develop black technology in the real world, which will boost your popularity and help you collect willpower and fortune. Once it reaches a certain scale, the benefits will be significant! If you are seeking to enhance your power, I suggest you choose worlds with magical powers, such as 'Rebirth of the Dragon,' 'Magical Realm,' 'X-Men,' etc."
"..."
Xiaofei pondered, not responding.
He silently ranked all the Temporal Worlds from low to high, then began to think and eliminate.
'The Host,' a sci-fi love story. Apart from the medical spray, nothing else is related to aliens. Crossing costs 5000 energy points, and the benefits are not significant. Eliminated!
'Fatal Violet,' a world ravaged by viruses where humans and infected individuals hate and kill each other. The planar space compression technology and anti-gravity technology are highly advanced, but the rest is just a joke. Crossing costs 10,000 energy points, and the benefits... seem insignificant. Eliminated!
'Tomorrow's World,' a story of two parallel Earths. The real Earth is uninteresting, but the future Earth has advanced technology, high-end weapons, magnetic levitation technology, subatomic technology, and rockets that can traverse parallel spaces, temporal gates, and the Tower of Heaven that can predict the future. All of these are very powerful! Crossing costs 20,000 energy points? Benefits unknown? Danger level... extremely high?!
What the hell is going on in this Temporal World? It's full of unscientific things! Forget it, put it aside for now!
'Chappie'...
'Jurassic Park'...
...
Xiaofei filtered through each item, but he couldn't find a Temporal World that perfectly suited his needs. Either the energy consumption was too high and not cost-effective, or it offered no significant enhancement, making it a waste of energy points.
"Huh?"
"Iron Man 1?"
Seeing this famous name from the Marvel universe, Xiaofei was taken aback. In his mind, the Marvel universe is full of powerful beings, superpowers, mutants, and superheroes, making it a high-level world with advanced technology and powerful beings. Both the world level and energy consumption should be ranked at the back. Why is 'Iron Man 1' at the front?
Xiaofei tilted his head and thought about the plot of 'Iron Man 1,' muttering to himself, "Is it because 'Iron Man 1' has lower combat power, and the boss is a normal human, making it relatively easier compared to other Marvel segments, so it is ranked higher? Or is it because this Temporal World follows the movie logic rather than the extremely powerful comic logic?!"
"Whatever! This world is good. Not only does it have a sequel, but it also has the Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man's armor, intelligent life, Pym particles... a bunch of black technology. Adamantium, Vibranium, Falcon's bio-mimetic wings, the Cosmic Cube... the good things are countless. Crossing costs 100,000 energy points, which is not much at all! Damn it, it's you! If necessary, I'll take a loan!"
"Host, crossing this Temporal World requires 100,000 energy points. The host's energy points are insufficient. Do you want to share the cost with the system?"
"Yes!"
Xiaofei is a bit helpless, but what can he do? He is poor! He has to endure!
"Host, please choose the sharing ratio."
"Pay 20,000 energy points!"
"Ding!"
"Host has chosen to share the energy consumption with the system. The sharing ratio is 1:4. After crossing the Temporal World, the host must complete 4 tasks assigned by the system. After the training, all benefits will be distributed according to the sharing ratio!"
"Host, do you want to immediately enter 'Iron Man 1'?"
"Yes!"
A burst of light enveloped Xiaofei, and he disappeared.
