Chapter 1 Highly Evolved Liquid Metal

Fang Senyan was still quite exhausted at this time. In the last world, he had to fight wits and courage with the mastermind behind the scenes, and then he had to try his best to satisfy LVMAX's mission completion. It would be strange if he wasn't tired!

At this time, many things piled up together, but fortunately, he didn't have to answer them immediately, so Fang Senyan planned to take a good rest before considering what to do next.

Next, he couldn't help but start to examine the rewards he had just obtained: Liquid Metal Enhanced Life (prototype). He wanted to know what the specific attributes of this thing he had painstakingly obtained were, and whether it was worth the previous trouble.

What was presented in front of Fang Senyan was a mass of silver, viscous, droplet-shaped liquid substance, about the size of a watermelon. Swirling lights would appear on the surface from time to time. When Fang Senyan touched it with his finger, it would slightly wrap around his finger and then release it, like the touch of dough sprinkled with flour.

After querying through the Nightmare Imprint, clear instructions were immediately given.

Liquid Metal Enhanced Life (prototype): This is a brand-new combat weapon developed based on liquid metal. This life form has been imprinted with your soul mark. After being attached, it can change shape according to your wishes, but because it is a semi-completed body, it currently only has an amplification effect, as follows.

Command your Liquid Metal Enhanced Life to be attached to a weapon, and your weapon will have a special effect equivalent to an additional enhancement of +3. Moreover, if you reach a key level (4, 7, 10) after attaching it, an additional special effect will be generated. The additional special effect will be randomly drawn and attached to the weapon.

Once an additional special effect is generated, it will solidify within seventy-two hours. Even if it is re-attached multiple times, the additional special effect will not change during the solidification period.

Command your Liquid Metal Enhanced Life to be attached to a piece of armor, and the armor will gain an additional 500 points of life and an additional special effect of absorbing 10% of all damage.

Tip: Each attachment of Liquid Metal Enhanced Life will consume 5,000 universal points, and the cooldown time is 12 hours.

At this time, Fang Senyan was naturally a little eager to try this special effect. He looked at the Liquid Metal Enhanced Life in front of him, and with a slight thought, he saw the thing wriggling like a snake, and began to spread and coil towards his pair of planetary-level high-energy mechanical power gloves, penetrating into them from various gaps. Finally, it could be seen that the Liquid Metal Enhanced Life had completely disappeared, and a layer of silver-white metal appeared on the surface of the gloves, as if it had been plated on.

Looking at the gloves again at this time, he realized that they had obtained a new description:

Planetary High-Energy Mechanical Power Gloves +3 (temporary enhancement), attack power increased by 10~40 points.

Fang Senyan looked at his current universal points and potential points, and found that they should be quite sufficient after completing the transaction with the Wulunfang team, so he tentatively went to the place in the space specifically for enhancement, intending to enhance his miner's gloves to LV1.

Although enhancement is a very difficult thing, and many people have lost their fortunes on it (which can be understood as the difficulty of enhancing legendary weapons), the difficulty of enhancing equipment to +1 is not too great.

Fang Senyan sent the miner's gloves into the entrance of the enhancer, and found that the space ignored the effect of temporary enhancement, and the charge was collected from +0 enhancement to +1, so this enhancement did not cost much effort.

After the enhancement was completed, Fang Senyan found an additional attribute on the equipment:

+4 temporary effect: When you successfully use a tactical throw to grab an enemy, your strength value is increased by 10%. This effect lasts for thirty minutes.

This effect has domain priority.

Warning: Once the temporary enhancement effect is解除 (jiechu, removed), this effect will also be解除 (jiechu, removed).

When Fang Senyan saw that the temporary effect that was enhanced had domain priority, second only to domain priority, he knew in his heart that this Liquid Metal Enhanced Life really had the potential to evolve into an artifact. The high priority alone was enough to explain the problem.

Since he had confirmed that the Liquid Metal Enhanced Life did have very high value, and was already showing the strength equivalent to a dark gold equipment even now, Fang Senyan had the determination to continue this series of silver missions in his heart.

Just as he was about to return to the real world to take a good rest, the Nightmare Imprint suddenly heated up, but news came:

"Dear Lieutenant Colonel, your merit points have exceeded 200. Please report to the Hall of Honor as soon as possible."

After hearing this news, Fang Senyan couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. If it was other aspects of the problem, whether it was Blackie, Zi, or Reef, they were all knowledgeable and experienced, but in terms of military ranks, to be honest, Fang Senyan could be said to be the best in the entire team, and only others would ask him for experience.

Although Fang Senyan was quite exhausted, after a slight hesitation, he still went to the Hall of Honor.

Since Fang Senyan was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, he has had his own exclusive office area, and he doesn't have to queue up with others. After walking to the Hall of Honor, his chest automatically radiated dazzling light, and then he was directly teleported to the office. The people next to him were of course envious, jealous, and hateful, but they could only sigh helplessly.

After Fang Senyan sat down in the chair, he began to automatically connect to the remote end. He was quite tired at this time, and yawned twice in a row. Fortunately, it didn't take long before a cold mechanical electronic female synthesized voice came from the other side:

"Contractor 1018, your current military rank is Lieutenant Colonel, your merit points have exceeded

two hundred points. On the occasion of the 1300th anniversary of the founding of the Empire, you meet the relevant conditions and have obtained an opportunity for an additional promotion. Do you need to participate?"

Fang Senyan was stunned for a moment and said:

"What is an opportunity for an additional promotion?"

The mechanical electronic female synthesized voice explained coldly:

"You are currently a Lieutenant Colonel. To be promoted to Colonel, you need to reach 275 merit points. If you meet the conditions for an additional promotion, you can directly be promoted to Colonel in one go!"

Fang Senyan immediately began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart:

The so-called conditions for achieving an additional promotion must be to complete related tasks. Under normal circumstances, the reward for a golden side mission is only thirty merit points, and the reward for a top-level golden side mission is at most doubled to sixty points.

Of course, although the difficulty of golden side quests is quite terrifying, in addition to merit points, there are other equipment and item rewards, and the difficulty cannot be converted solely based on merit points.

Roughly calculated, under normal circumstances, the difficulty of a mission that does not reward anything, but directly rewards 75 merit points, is about the same as the difficulty of a low-level golden side mission.

However, listening to this mechanical electronic female synthesized voice, since it is an additional promotion, then it should be a special preferential treatment, and the difficulty of the task will naturally be reduced. Even if it is calculated according to the lowest standard of only reducing one level of difficulty, for Fang Senyan, completing a task of A-level difficulty should be very sure, after all, his equipment and attribute points can be said to be the peak level of a colonizer!

With this thought in mind, Fang Senyan felt that this mission was very promising. After he further inquired, he found that although the specific information of this additional promotion mission could not be queried, the general information could still be obtained.

For example, this mission is of course only allowed to be attended by one person.

Also, for example, this is a very unconventional mission. The intuitive point is that when entering the relevant world to perform the mission, the time flow rate will be accelerated. Obviously, it may have been several months in that world, but after returning to the space, his teammates in the space are equivalent to only a few hours, and he can still continue to the next world with them.

With this thought in mind, Fang Senyan of course very simply accepted this additional promotion mission, but the above did not explain the specific content in detail, but only asked him to be prepared, and he would be notified in the near future to enter the space to complete the mission.

At this time, Fang Senyan was about to leave, but on the electronic screen on the table, there were several messages flashing. Fang Senyan opened it and saw that most of these messages were about the Empire's 1300th anniversary celebration. He hurriedly gave up, but one message caught Fang Senyan's attention:

"A cross-space auction is being held. This auction is only limited to official Lieutenant Colonels or preparatory brigadier-level or above contractors. Asking if Fang Senyan wants to join?"

Fang Senyan was overjoyed when he saw this. In the trading market in this space, the probability of high-quality equipment appearing is getting lower and lower, and even if it does appear, it is often sky-high! Before, Zi had seen a perverted dark blue cloak, all three attributes increased intelligence, and one cloak added thirty-seven points of intelligence. The seller directly asked for a price of 400,000 universal points...

At this time, after seeing this prompt, Fang Senyan decisively chose to participate, even if he had to pay a 5,000-point entrance fee. Then he suddenly realized that there was a flash in front of him, and he was teleported to a venue the size of a basketball court. There were probably hundreds of people sitting sparsely in this venue, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

Suspended in the center of the venue were the auction items, and there was detailed information on the auction items in front of the seats.

The rules of the auction are naturally that the highest bidder wins.

More importantly, even if the participants do not have enough cash, they can try to trade in kind, or take out their valuables as collateral, and then have the auction house evaluate the price for borrowing or direct sale. It can be said that the participation method is quite flexible.

At this time, what was being auctioned was a high-level item that Fang Senyan had once brushed shoulders with: the Philosopher's Stone from the Harry Potter world!

This thing was once only a mere thirty meters away from Fang Senyan, but if Fang Senyan had coveted those tens of meters at that time, he would definitely have died without a burial place. He didn't expect that this item would appear in front of him in such a way!
