Capítulo 31: Chapter 31: Pink Entry
The space vortex blazed into life.
Orion, Sally Valence, Drum, and Doren departed from the Foyer Bar once more.
The cost of indulgence here was staggering! A single glass of wine was worth an ancient Roman gold coin.
Fortunately, refills were unlimited.
Otherwise, Orion might have deemed it a black market!
"The Foyer Bar is more than just a bar."
"It serves as a neutral ground. Fighting is strictly prohibited. Beings from various factions and camps come here to negotiate."
"Don't underestimate Jack's role as a bartender. Even the Supreme Mage holds him in high regard," Master Drum cautioned.
Sally Valence's heart quivered.
"Bartender Jack… Is he truly so important?"
Sally felt a pang of unease. Had she nearly offended Jack?
It turned out… Master Drum's harsh criticism seemed to have been meant to protect her.
"Haha."
"Stop frightening the young ones. Jack is a kind person!"
"It's getting late; we should all head home and seek out our mothers!"
With that, the bearded sorcerer Doren conjured a portal by mystic arts.
It led directly to the New York Temple Hall.
Within the hall, Eva Feynman and David Simons appeared to have just returned from a grueling battle.
"Eva? David?"
"What manner of monster did you encounter?"
Master Drum's expression grew stern.
A creature capable of humbling these two guardian sorcerers must be far from ordinary!
"It's fine."
"We've dealt with it."
"…The Frost Beast from Jotunheim is extraordinarily tough and resilient."
Eva and David spoke succinctly, detailing the emergency situation.
A hidden door opened to reveal a massive beast with a snow-blue hide, a formidable physique, and powerful limbs, lying on its side in the basement.
The room seemed to chill by several degrees!
The beast, encrusted with frost, had fangs as sharp and white as snow.
This was a native of Jotunheim!
[Frost Beast]
[Level]:*Advanced
[Talent]: The More You Fight, the Braver You Become (Pink), Iron-Skinned and Strong (Pink), Extreme Cold Resistance (Pink).
[The More He Fights, the Braver He Becomes] (Pink): If not killed in time, he will unleash tremendous potential and trade his life for yours.
[Copper Skin and Iron Bones] (Pink): Increases resistance to physical and magical damage by 20%.
[Resistance to Extreme Cold] (Pink): Originating from the Land of Frost, he is naturally immune to extreme cold.
"Um?"
"Pink talent?"
"…There's even a pink talent!"
Orion was astounded.
He had only just encountered a god-level talent today and was still processing it. Now he was confronted with another pink talent.
What was happening?
[Pink talent discovered. Do you want to extract it?]
(Pink talents are worth 100 points of luck and can be sold to the Talent Recycling Mall.)
(Can also be sold to other beings.)
(Pink talents cannot be upgraded.)
"Recycle and Sell?!"
"Is this real?"
"Extract!"
Orion's eyes sparkled with determination as he made his decision.
In an instant,
Three brilliant rays of light emanated from the Frost Beast's corpse.
They shot straight toward Orion!
It seemed the other guardian sorcerers were oblivious to his actions.
Simultaneously, a new page appeared in the Talent Recycling Mall!
[Pink Talent]
[Becoming Braver with Each Battle],[Skin of Steel and Bones of Iron], [Resistance to Extreme Cold].
The system displayed the uniform retail price: 100 points of luck each!
Three pink talent entries totaled 300 points of luck!
Indeed, pink talents were tradable.
Unlike all other talents.
If Orion were skilled in promotion and could sell the pink entries at exorbitant prices, the system would not object.
Pink talents were immutable!
They lacked the potential for growth and evolution.
Moreover, the pink entry came from the Frost Beast. Who could guarantee that after solidifying the entry, Orion wouldn't mutate into a humanoid Frost Beast?
That would be a disaster!
Thus, Orion abandoned the idea of solidifying the entries!
"If I want to sell the pink entries to other beings…"
"How should I acquire the luck value?"
"Who would believe I could sell talent?"
Orion's expression was complex.
Though the system provided a clear path,
He was unsure how to proceed!
Never mind.
It's better to secure the luck value first!
Orion acted decisively.
He sold the two pink entries [Resistance to Extreme Cold] and [Fight More Bravely] to the Talent Recycling Mall!
[Are you sure you want to sell the entries [Resistance to Extreme Cold] and [Fight More Bravely]?]
"Sure."
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 200 points of luck.]
…
Panel:
[Name]: Orion
[Identity]: Guardian Sorcerer
[Talents]: God of Study (Blue), Grand Master (Blue), Self-Taught (Blue), Good Times Will Come from Misfortune (Blue), Extremely Popular (Blue), Unpredictable Good and Bad Times (Black), A Crime to Possess a Treasure (Black).
[Luck Value]: 465.9
"Excellent! It's time to spin the talent lottery wheel!"
"Should I take a shower and change clothes first?"
Orion felt a surge of excitement.
He had found another way to amass wealth!
But… Why hadn't he encountered any pink entries in the Mysterious Dimension?
Was it because the Mysterious Dimension wasn't real?
Did pink entries only drop when creatures in the real world perished?
Orion speculated in secret.
It seemed quite possible!
As for the principles and mysteries involved, they were beyond his current understanding!
"Orion?"
"Are you scared?"
Sally Valence's tone was teasing.
"Ha."
"I simply can't handle the alcohol. I need to rest for a while."
Orion scratched his head.
He then grasped the handrail and ascended the stairs.
He didn't return to his room until he was out of sight.
"Lottery!"
Orion sat down eagerly and summoned the talent lottery roulette.
[Talent Lottery Roulette]:50 points of luck required for the first draw.
(From now on, the luck points required for each draw will double, and the probability of obtaining a rare talent will increase accordingly.)
(The current luck points required are 400.)
A burst of brilliant, colorful light filled the room.
He successfully paid 400 points of luck.
The roulette wheel spun with incredible speed.
The next second,
Orion heard a divine chime!
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the white talent [Unawakened]]
[Unawakened] (White): There seems to be a mysterious power within your body.
"White talent?"
"…Mysterious power?"
"Is that all for 400 points of luck?"
Orion's mood soured.
He had hoped for a fortune.
But he received a white talent instead!
Was he destined for only white talents?
Yet, the term "mysterious power" piqued his interest.
In a world where mutants existed, could Baron Mordo's words come true, and would he awaken mutant abilities?
"You can upgrade this white entry once more!"
Orion's anticipation grew.
[Do you want to use the luck value for [Unawakened] (White)?]
"Certainly!"
Orion clenched his fists, his face a mask of tension.
Swish!
A searing light flashed.
[Unawakened] (White) has evolved into [Gene Mutation] (Green)
[Gene Mutation] (Green): Due to your contact with the Power Stone, the cells in your body are undergoing rapid transformation.
Gene mutation!
What could this signify?
Was he on the verge of awakening his X-Factor, or was he about to mutate?
"Due to contact with the Power Stone…?"
"So, my previous sensations were not illusions!"
"The Power Stone is reshaping my body?"
Orion was stunned.
As early as the second time he absorbed the Power Gem's energy, he had sensed some changes!
"Gene mutation…"
"I hope I don't turn into some hideous freak!"
Orion prayed silently.
