*Ding! 1 million credits are deducted. You purchased the "No touch" skill.
"No touch" skill is an automatic defensive passive ability, which can be toggled on/off to activate or deactivate at any ti. The skill's ability is what its title says. Upon being activated, the user cannot be touched by anyone else physically. Whoever cos within the range shall be pushed away by an invisible force.
That ans Mark cannot be hard physically. However, the range attacks still work though. Another problem is that he cannot exempt the allies. Even they are affected by this skill.
And that's where the toggle switch is needed.
Mark never had plans on activating this skill unless it is in an ergency but since he was already spending millions of gold coins and is still far away from his goal of making the missile defense system a divine weapon, he thought he might as well get what he wants.
After purchasing the third passive skill, he closed down the window and then entered the Active skills section. There's a skill he had his eyes on for a while but its high cost made him hesitate until now.
It is called the Gravity Do, which creates an invisible do around the user. Inside the region, the user would be able to control the gravity, well, not exactly a complete control but one can increase the gravity by ten or twenty folds so that the enemies will be crushed to the ground.
Another good part of the skill is that it not only grows along with the user just like the bloodline skills but the user can also exempt his allies from being affected by this skill.
*Ding! 1 million credits are deducted. You purchased the "Gravity Do" skill.
He opened the skills list to take a good look at the details. He nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, that's 4 million overall. With the earlier 1.5 million credits of spending, I guess I will also complete the next side quest once I acquire the Amulet of Diyu. Anyways, let's level up the Enhanced Durability a little bit."
Mark then clicked on the damage reduction skill, which was at level-1, at the mont.
Enhanced Durability (Lv-1): Increase the user's body durability to receive less incoming damage of all types except for ntal attacks. Effect: 1% DR. Limit: Opponents who are no greater than two ranks/realms above the user.
As he clicked on the level, the option of upgrade ca up.
And the mont Mark's eyes fell on the cost required to upgrade the skill, he got an urge to swear at the system imdiately. However, the previous experience of electric shock forced him to swallow down his words and made a comnt in a mild manner, "the system once again scamd ."
Upgrade to Level-2 >>> 1,000,000 credits.
"C'mon, I just paid a million credits/5 million gold coins, which are enough for to live peacefully for a lifeti, just to buy that skill. And I have to spend a million credits for every percentage? System, you are a scamr. Admit it by now." He scolded the system without using obscene language.
Naturally, the system won't accept any allegations against it. It gave a reply right away.
*Ding! The skill's real use cos into effect when the host reaches the Demigod realm. Please re-read the skill's description once again and ponder on it. The host would be able to understand the skill's potential.
"Well, for its effectiveness, I should not only earn money more but also get stronger. At present, it is nothing but a useless skill."
Being a little depressed by continuous setbacks, Mark now put his hopes on the storage ring with the zheng.
Little over twenty minutes later, the scarlet leopard opened its eyes and found itself in a room with pure white-colored walls, floor, and ceiling. There was nothing else around it except for a small portal at the ceiling. "Where is this place?" Lan Ju wondered at first as he inspected the surroundings.
"There's this strange energy presented in this room. It is so pure and unlike anything I have sensed before. My injury also healed completely. Is this the so-called divine energy?
But, according to the master, only the divine beings from the celestial realm contain such power. Lu Zhen is clearly a mortal, 100% human. When I tasted his blood, I didn't sense any divine energy inside his body.
Does that an I was captured by so divine being? Well, I don't sense any suppression on . So, let's go into the portal and see where it leads ."
Lan Ju then took a leap toward the ceiling and entered the portal only to find himself on the floor of a bedroom with Mark lying carelessly on the bed with a bowl of popcorn in his hands. He was watching Alina's cooking show. "Hmm?"
Mark's attention was disturbed by the appearance of the leopard. "Lu Zhen?" The scarlet leopard exclaid in surprise.
He imdiately sat on the bed and let out a smile, "Welco back, Lan Ju. It looks like you are completely healed."
"So, you are the one who placed in that white room? What was that place anyway?" The scarlet leopard questioned him directly without wasting his breath on other pleasant complints.
"The white room?" At first, Mark was a little bit confused but then he realized that the zheng was talking about the familiar's inventory. He doesn't know what the room looked like, but at the sa ti, he doesn't want to appear clueless as the more majestic he appears to the zheng, the more loyalty he will gain from the beast emperor.
Mark nodded and then explained, "It is a special dinsion where my contracted beasts or summoned beasts can be healed. Anyway, it's roughly been 12 hours since you were sent there. We got the fire seed and the enemies were defeated. Just don't ask how. I told you that I had my ans to protect myself."
The zheng stared at him for a few seconds and eventually nodded, "alright. Everyone has their own secrets. So, this is your residence?"
As the leopard looked around, scanning the place, Mark nodded. "Yes. We are at the Imperial City."
The scarlet leopard also nodded in satisfaction and praised, "I sense the Demigod-level suppression all over your residence. It is good to be living in such a place for you. Anyway, now that your job is done and I'm alright. I guess I will be returning to my ho."
Mark was aware that he cannot let the zheng stay at the Imperial City for a very long ti as it will increase the chances of his real identity getting exposed. Not to ntion, he recently learned from the zheng that his mother is a Demigod, not a civilian with a divine grade item. Hence, it is more important that he needs to send him away.
As a result, he accepted Lan Ju's decision to return to the Kunyu mountains. Soon, the scarlet leopard slipped out of the window on the first floor and landed on the ground before dashing at subsonic speed in the darkness.
Not even a hundred seconds passed and Lan Ju was already more than a hundred and fifty kiloters away from the outskirts of the Imperial City. He is sowhere in the wilderness.
But, little did he expect to stop in his tracks as his way was cut off by a stranger in black robes and hood.
"Hmm?" Lan Ju was alard as soon as he sensed the cultivation realm of the woman who appeared out of nowhere. "A Demigod?"
The stranger lowered down the hood to reveal a familiar-looking face. The woman coldly greeted the zheng, "Lan Ju."
"Lan Jingyi, the traitor…" The scarlet leopard let out an angry growl.
***
Back to the Genesis Weapon store, Mark was staring at the storage ring that was full of corpses of the Spirit Warriors that the zheng eliminated during the noon. He doesn't want to tell to the beast emperor that he wanted their storage rings and damage his reputation. Hence, he asked the zheng to collect their bodies so that he can loot from them personally.
However, back then, he didn't think about other things like his pure white marble floor getting stained by the blood of the corpses. There's also the sll that he needed to consider. He doesn't want Song Yue to see the situation. So, he did the most logical thing that he can do.
Sitting on the bed, Mark went to the factory's testing grounds inside his mindscape. On level-3 one, the land was quite huge. So, he felt it was a good place to put the corpses down and inspect them without worrying about anyone.
