253: Chapter 234 Headhunter 253: Chapter 234 Headhunter “If profession abilities can be traded, then can innate talent abilities, which are limited to individual use, also be traded?
At least, can they be temporarily borrowed…”
After confirming the existence of the trading column, Lu Ping’an had been pondering this seemingly unrealistic idea.
And after obtaining the “Contract” rule, the most important thing was actually unlocking the “free trading,” that is, “all transactions not prohibited by law can be tried.”
In that small trading column, soone could propose a “deal,” and soone else could accept the “deal.” As long as both parties reached an agreent, a “trade” would naturally form.
Lu Ping’an vaguely confird that the true aning behind his “Life Bank” was actually to establish a “trading” and “win-win” relationship between individuals…but the scope of the trade seed to be limited to “life” itself.
Within this scope, you could make any request, whether those requests could be t depended on the Life Bank’s ability as a trading interdiary.
When he saw the domain of the big cat, he confird this view because his own domain was actually the sa as the big cat’s, except that the big cat defined a “predation” and “eating alone” relationship.
The Rebirth Club gained two new mbers, and after several attempts, Lu Ping’an opened up a new function—ability rental.
This remote borrowing of talent abilities was actually sothing Lu Ping’an could do before…
On that custor card, the custor could remotely use Lu Ping’an’s abilities.
Theoretically, since others could use Lu Ping’an’s abilities through the Life Bank card, he should also be able to use them in return.
After repeated attempts, this “borrowing contract” was formulated and certified by the Life Bank, finally forming a “standard contract.”
Talent abilities could be borrowed, but the minimum transaction price was 200 life-points (100 points were taxed and went into public accounts), and the result of borrowing two abilities was that they could be used for only a few seconds and limited to three tis.
Moreover, the abilities acquired through this contract were significantly watered down, roughly equivalent to Black-iron tier profession abilities…
Regardless of whether it was Lei Shuiyun or Guan Xinxian, the strength of their abilities would be greatly reduced and weakened.
At present, only one person could be “authorized” to use it at a ti, and the contract would automatically beco invalid if the two parties were too far apart.
It seed still to rely on borrowing the original owner’s abilities for remote support…
Lu Ping’an’s contract was fully used because he had already wasted three full contracts during practice.
This was an inevitable thing, as he had to practice to ensure he wouldn’t fail at a critical mont.
The price and the extent of the reduction made it virtually worthless, but it still shocked all those who knew about it.
“It’s unbelievable, talent abilities are a key to shaping a Secret Keeper’s future, and now they can even be traded …
borrowed?”
“ow ao, that’s so strong; even I know this can save lives at critical monts, ow.”
By the way, Lu Ping’an confird that his own “Life Bank” could not be contracted, including the sub-abilities of “deferred paynt” and “investnt.” It was probably because he couldn’t “trade with himself.”
Although this ability was extrely costly and had poor effects, it still had strategic-level effects as long as it encountered a suitable trading target…
Now Lu Ping’an, who could escape with his life, relied on this small contract to survive.
Unfortunately, the “zero gravity” still only lasted ten seconds, with half of it used up when taking off.
Even if he used “Feathering Transformation” with all his strength, he could only float for a bit longer.
After the helpless crash, he continued to race forward with Fang Wen, who was working hard to repair herself.
When Liu Zibei recovers and regathers his “plant garden,” he was bound to co after them…
but it should take so ti, and they should be able to make it if no one was in their way…
“As expected, there they co…”
The target was already in sight, and they could see the walls of the arena, but when they turned the corner, they encountered an unexpected yet predictable enemy.
“…Jia Yi?
You didn’t die?”
Atop the high wall surrounding the arena, a familiar fish head reappeared.
Although shrouded in a cloak, the short Fishman, covered in wounds, was too familiar.
Following that, a large number of “beasts” arrived.
So of them were the sa Fishn as before, while others were ordinary Magic Monsters, or even the local “specialties”…
It seed that the Beast Tar had been replenishing his stock all this ti.
However, with just one glance, Lu Ping’an noticed that sothing was off with the Fishman Beast Tar on the platform…
it hadn’t gone mad!
Lu Ping’an didn’t believe that his own “Deity Curse” would be ineffective, nor did he think that Jia Yi could easily break free from his past shackles.
So, the most likely possibility was…
“Has he already died?
The Sophist?
Did you turn Jia Yi into your puppet too?”
Despite being called by na, there was no response from the “perforr.”
Was he not there?
Or was he simply hiding, preparing for a magnificent, back-stabbing entrance on stage?
Lu Ping’an halted, quickly checking his gear.
It seed like another hard battle was unavoidable…
All the paths to the Tree of Life had been blocked by them.
The incident with Old Ke was a tragedy, but it was indeed an important clue in criminal investigations.
Through “autopsy”, it was confird that he had died more than a month ago.
The one who had been walking around in his skin was his imprisoned “undead”…
This, in turn, revealed the Sophist’s “profession.”
Xiwa Headhunters.
This term doesn’t refer to the interdiary of searching for labor in the human resources sector, but rather the literal aning of “headhunters.”
In a sense, this profession, which originated from legends and a certain period in history, is a cousin of the primitive shamans and voodoo sects who believe all things possess a spirit.
The native people in that region believed that the souls of humans reside in their skulls.
By turning their opponents’ skulls into “dried shrunken heads” to carry with them, they could not only prevent the resurrection of the dead but also absorb the power within the skulls, thus enhancing their own strength.
Myths combined with reality, along with the might of primitive gods, eventually gave rise to this niche “profession”…
Undoubtedly, this is an extrely evil taboo profession, the power on the side of the Evil Gods.
The victim had been dead from the outset, being driven by the simple fact that he was a walking corpse under the control of a “headhunter.”
“…
Did Jia Yi also fall into his hands?”
If it weren’t for Old Ke’s very distinctive (doll-like shrunken body and skull) remains, the Special Service Team wouldn’t have uncovered this rare profession so quickly.
The living corpses driven by the “dried shrunken heads” only retain a portion of their abilities from when they were alive, which was already enough to give Lu Ping’an a headache.
But even more deadly, it ant that the Sophist was at least…
“…
A fourth-tier Healer, Xiwa Headhunters are a fourth-tier Healer profession.
So, he is at least a fourth-tier Healer and Contractor.
The Sophist’s hidden strength is quite excessive.”
A massive swarm of beasts surged forward, so of which went berserk the instant they saw Lu Ping’an.
So only lunged at Lu Ping’an after being repeatedly commanded, while so even bit and fought each other as soon as the Beast Tar slightly loosened their shackles…
The training of these magic monsters was not particularly high.
But with just a quick count, there were over a hundred beasts in front of him, and most were not Fishn…
It seed that the Sophist had been preparing for this mont for a long ti.
These beasts, which had been obviously boosted by the Secret Realm and had grown stronger after “devouring” one another, now posed an even greater threat.
As far as Lu Ping’an could see, there was not a single first-tier garbage…
The weakest magic monsters seed to be at the sa 2-tier level as him.
This sense of crisis was nothing like the slow and dull “Tree-man Army” from before.
Those selected as high-quality tad beasts were all outstanding predators.
Moreover, on several special magic monsters, Lu Ping’an saw biological modifications similar to those of New Humans.
The stitches and screws reminded him of the horrifying monsters from old films.
A Healer partnered with a Beast Tar, was a traditional Abnormal Ability.
In the “Land of Life” of the Beast Tar, drawing on the power of the Beast Tar’s system, the snowballing combat power stacked both ways.
This move was admittedly quite powerful.
Lu Ping’an took a deep breath.
At least, this was still within expectations.
