With the deal completed, Zheng Yichen returned ho to see what good things another Dusk rcenary Group had given him.
Opening the briefcase, the first things he saw were Dream Dust and an illusory hazy blossom. The amount of Dream Dust wasn’t much, approximately thirty grams.
The illusory hazy blossom had already been consud considerably before, estimating that the Dusk rcenary Group behind the bartender also didn’t have much in stock.
These were what they gave; the rest were what another Dusk rcenary Group provided.
A very regular piece of tal, Zheng Yichen picked it up. There was information labeled on it, sothing called the Heart of the Machine.
As for its function, Zheng Yichen found it very familiar. Saying "Heart of the Machine" makes it a bit unclear, but calling it a spark source leaves no room for doubt!
Of course, this thing can be used as a spark source, however, it is a single-unit version, not able to ’activate’ machines or electronic devices just by radiation.
This requires implanting to be effective.
It’s akin to granting machines an ’extraordinary ability’ for activation, similar to the ability of the Evil Spirit knight to enchant vehicles.
There are plenty of such items, but this one is among the best in terms of effect.
According to the description, even the Firmant Wheel can be activated by this. The best use is to first cultivate a reliable artificial intelligence, and then use this on such an entity.
If directly used on a certain item, the activated chanical creature might not necessarily follow the user’s commands.
Its value is chiefly in its level, as this kind of Heart of the Machine is capable of ’god-making’.
This Heart of the Machine is not the original version from that Dusk rcenary Group; they have already used the original version, though where it’s used and to what extent the chanical bio is exalted is not disclosed.
But this split version, devoid of a splitting effect, possesses a strength such that after Lilith’s analysis, the original Heart of the Machine could bring out sothing close to the primordial Dragon God.
This doesn’t require Dusk’s reinforcent for use, making it convene its function perfectly upon acquisition.
At normal prices, Lilith’s assessnt is no less than 100 rit points, and even then, you might not be able to buy it as it’s a priceless market commodity; when sothing is a priceless commodity, the evaluation price only serves a reference purpose.
Setting a price based on the evaluation price’s lower limit is the ’normal price’.
A regular Dusk rcenary might not beco a god with 100 rit points, but this thing can guarantee reaching that level directly.
And it’s not just confined to combat; it’s used for building bases. With enough Dusk rcenaries gathered, a Dusk rcenary Group can be established promptly.
"This seems to be ant specifically for you," Zheng Yichen said to Lilith. During daily situations, Lilith doesn’t use a body molded from World Tree fruit, remaining in a projection form.
This projection state allows her to be agile and adaptable.
When assisting Zheng Yichen, she appears in her normal form. When not needed for assistance, she can revert to a chibi form, being a considerate accessory on Zheng Yichen.
In her normal state, she cannot hang onto Zheng Yichen like Tanshia Firlo can.
"Wishlist-based giving," Lilith remarked, "but I suggest bringing this to Dusk for evaluation before using it."
Zheng Yichen’s information wasn’t too hidden; even the Dusk rcenary Group of the bartender knew he had a powerful car with a Simulated World core.
And since another Dusk rcenary Group wanted to buy a coordinate and knew of a formidable Proxy Agent in the Misty City World, they naturally chose sothing more ’specific’ for the paynt.
Providing other items of equivalent value, Zheng Yichen might not find them useful. While good things are good, if they can’t be used, they’re not good things, and the cost-performance ratio drops.
But this kind of item is different. The sa outlay yields greater favorability, which ans high cost-performance; it conveys sincerity, and the item can be put to use by Zheng Yichen, making everyone happy.
The second item was a crystal that appeared flawless, yet felt like a water balloon when touched.
This is also a ’heart,’ called the Heart of Willpower. This item can interfere with reality through sufficiently strong willpower, featuring a very high ceiling, theoretically capable of interfering with space and destiny and even ’ti’, yet it is not a Destiny tool.
Thus, even with its use, it wouldn’t backlash like the use of Fate power.
It’s a kind of good stuff that can perfectly evade while interfering with fate power.
The issue here is that this upper limit is theoretical. Although it could technically reach such heights, how many entities could achieve this theoretical limit?
When it cos to the ceiling, the Heart of the Machine is not as high as this, but in terms of practicality, this doesn’t compare to the Heart of the Machine. Even the assessnt price Lilith provided is only half of the Heart of the Machine, although this too can be used directly without Dusk’s reinforcent.
If it weren’t for this point, the price would be even lower.
The Heart of the Machine is sothing even ordinary people could use; get a T-800 robot, and using the Heart of the Machine, that robot could tear apart Skynet on the spot, whereas an ordinary person obtaining the Heart of Willpower...could at best run a bit faster, jump a bit higher.
Flying? The Heart of Willpower can allow the user to do that, but if the user’s will isn’t strong enough, fear of falling to death would absolutely prevent flight.
Unless the person is soone like Captain Arica, who can go toe-to-toe with any enemy through sheer willpower.
This thing is very person-dependent.
"This is for you, BOSS."
"Alright, it’s good stuff for too," Zheng Yichen looked at the last item.
This was a hamr, occupying the largest part of the suitcase. The hamr lacked a handle and needed one to be attached, considered as a completed object.
Weapon equipnt was not scarce for Zheng Yichen, but this item’s na was the Faith Hamr.
This can be used as raw material or directly as a regular forging hamr, whose function is to forge objects with faith-related power.
"This tailored gifting is incredibly targeted, isn’t it? The bartender and their side put quite so effort in," Zheng Yichen remarked, tossing the hamr in his hand before stowing it away.
Its effect seed ordinary enough but remained useful for Zheng Yichen.
With this, accumulated faith power, along with faith components, could be utilized more efficiently. Piled-up things could be fashioned even to the extent that Zheng Yichen could make use of them.
"Is this a classic case of living off the land here?"
Without the special environnt of the Misty City World, how could a coordinate be so valuable?
These Dusk rcenary Groups aren’t fools; having given these items and assured regular exploitation of the phenonon within Misty City World, Zheng Yichen found it hard to show favoritism even if he wanted to.
This item wasn’t used imdiately; he planned to head to Dusk later for an appraisal before utilizing it.
Though the items can be used directly, Zheng Yichen preferred to spend so rit points to capitalize on better utilization.
Especially with this Faith Hamr, his intent was to use it as raw material. If original specifications were imprinted onto Lilith’s form alongside being linked to his weapons, any kind of hamred specification he desired could then be wielded.
The next day, Zheng Yichen arrived at the Dusk Cathedral early in the morning.
Through Tia’s evaluation, the Heart of Willpower was fine, the Heart of the Machine was fine, and using the Faith Hamr as raw material would require Zheng Yichen to pay 11 rit points.
The other two items could be used directly, witnessing no difference with Dusk’s reinforcent.
Yet, Dusk’s reinforcent carried a trait of difficulty in stripping, with no distinct enhancents beyond.
For such reinforcent, accumulating would cost 7 rit points, tying into Zheng Yichen’s substantial valuation.
