[Price: 15,000 game currency]

A price of fifteen thousand?

Li Ang narrowed his eyes. The items in the game store refresh every day, and each player's list is different.

According to screenshots on the forum, the most expensive item a player has ever refreshed was a duel compass similar to Yu-Gi-Oh!,

Called [Duel City Foldable Portable Duel Disk], which comes with three and a half complete card sets.

The user can load the card set into the duel compass, shuffle it randomly, and draw a card every so often.

By drawing land cards (a concept from Magic: The Gathering, equivalent to energy points), one can accumulate energy,

Summon monsters, and fight.

During this, you can also use magic cards, trap cards, and the chain effects of different cards to achieve all kinds of incredible effects.

Buying a piece of equipment is equivalent to having an extremely powerful and infinitely potential power system.

It's just that the equipment requirements are too harsh – the user's innate intelligence, perception, and charisma must all exceed or be equal to 7 points at the same time; postnatally acquired stats don't count.

That is to say, the user must, before becoming a player,

Possess a genius-level brain, sharp senses comparable to those of predatory beasts, and a face stunning enough to amaze the world,

To be qualified to activate this piece of equipment.

The difficulty is imaginable.

And the store price of this piece of equipment has reached a terrifying 35,000 points.

When that player uploaded the product screenshot to the forum, it immediately caused widespread discussion. Some felt that it was not cost-effective and overpriced;

Some felt that it was simply a gospel for genius newbies, and one piece of equipment could give them combat power comparable to second-tier players.

But soon, the poster edited and deleted the post, and the poster's account was also canceled – most people guessed that a large force had contacted the poster, willing to pay a large commission fee to entrust him to buy this [Duel City Foldable Portable Duel Disk] from the store.

This is not uncommon on the player forum. The forum's black market section always has players uploading their product lists refreshed today, to see if anyone wants to pay a commission to entrust them to buy equipment or something.

"[Portable Duel Disk] is a power system that can be used immediately, and it also comes with three and a half complete card sets. All that, and it only sells for game currency.

And this [Mind Power Manual Crystal · Beginner] sells for 15,000 game currency by itself,

And the prerequisite for use is still sacrificing three perfect-quality extraordinary items!

Calculating one perfect-quality item at 2000 game currency,

The cost of the Mind Power Manual even reaches an astronomical price in game currency..."

Li Ang's mind raced. In the product list, the [Mind Power Manual Crystal · Beginner]'s appearance is a book made of crystal material. Two lines of exotic writing are on the book's cover.

A delicate and exquisite metal chain is on the outside of the book, firmly locking the crystal book.

"Moreover, 15,000 game currency is just the prerequisite.

Judging from the description, the Spirit Energy Manual Crystal, like the [Alchemist's Travel Diary], is a data book recording cultivation methods.

Just looking at it is useless. You have to spend a lot of time and energy to learn it before you can master the power system.

If you can't learn it, there's not even a place to get a refund..."

Li Ang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said silently, "However, it's really tempting.

There's not much more that can be unearthed from the Alchemist's Travel Diary. Improving my alchemy level mainly relies on my own day-to-day training and exploration.

And this beginner psionic manual directly records levels 1 to 4 of psionic abilities. If I learn them all, it's equivalent to having dozens more skills in one go, and it doesn't even take up skill slots..."

The probability of the Arena game store refreshing cultivation methods is very low.

Every cultivation method is a top secret of major forces – such as Bai Haozheng's "Nian," the "Sword Qi" circulated within the Sword King Court, and the Clock Tower's "Magic Circuit" system.

The Ripple Breathing Technique that Li Ang obtained a long time ago can also be regarded as a power system (it's just that there are no usage technique instructions, and it all depends on Li Ang's own exploration).

It's a pity that his own strength was too low at that time, and he was not qualified to negotiate with the major forces; otherwise, the Ripple Breathing Technique could have been sold for a high price at that time.

As for psionics.

Just like the item description, it is the art of unlocking the potential of the mind.

Psionicists can use mental powers to achieve all kinds of incredible effects.

Such as moving heavy objects, creating flames out of thin air, communicating telepathically, torturing enemies' souls, and even astral projection, foreseeing the future, distorting reality, and reversing time...

Its potential is no lower than alchemy, Swamp God power, or biomorphs.

The most important thing is that psionics can make up for Li Ang's shortcomings in attack methods.

And provide an outlet for the Zerg Nest.

Psionics originate from the mind, and the mind originates from biological energy. It must be based on a living body, and is affected by the physical and mental health of the life form.

Intelligence, perception, and charisma are important components of psionic energy, while strength, agility, and constitution also affect psionic energy.

All sentient living beings have psionic power.

Ordinary creatures who have not undergone psionic training will never unlock the potential of the mind.

And psionicists can use this power hidden deep in consciousness to distort and change reality.

Every cerebrate in the Zerg Nest is an advanced creature with a developed brain, agile thinking, and profound consciousness.

They can also become psionicists...
