Chapter 50: Talisman Plan 2.0
Translator: 549690339
Jiang Cheng chose not to attend the dinner gathering for two main reasons. The first was his genuine dislike for socializing and the hassle that cos with it.
The second was the significant pressure he was facing, which left him with no interest in having fun.
The primary source of Jiang Cheng’s pressure stemd from two aspects.
The first aspect ca from his newly accepted task—”Repair Fluorescence Talisman.”
After all, this task was worth twenty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, nearly seven tis that of the “Powerful Immobilization Talisman” task!
Faced with a client’s huge trust of twenty thousand stones, Jiang Cheng, who always held himself to high standards, must match that trust with an appropriate attitude!
It couldn’t be that a talisman costing three thousand stones and one costing twenty thousand stones shared the sa quality, right?
Wouldn’t that make him an unscrupulous seller?
Jiang Cheng never engaged in dishonest acts.
He was a conscientious seller, known for the principle that you get what you pay for.
Another source of pressure ca from Jiang Cheng’s college entrance examination results.
Jiang Cheng, a background character, had decent academic performance, and the original Jiang Cheng had thought that passing the college entrance examination was almost guaranteed, but the actual results turned out to be much lower than his usual level.
In other words, the background character Jiang Cheng had failed the college entrance examination!
The college admission thod in Liang Kingdom was different from that on Earth.
The Immortal Sect’s key universities in Liang Kingdom generally adopted a comprehensive scoring thod to recruit new students.
The comprehensive scoring mainly consisted of three parts: college entrance examination results, practical combat assessnt, and special contributions.
There’s no need to elaborate on the college entrance examination results; as long as one’s scores t the threshold, one could participate in the schools’ own practical combat assessnts.
The practical combat assessnt was similar to the graduation exam at Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy, which required candidates to practice Immortal Skills in actual combat and then be graded by teachers.
As for special contributions, they were more flexible. It could be a bag of high-grade Spirit Stones, an Immortal Skill Manual, or a recomndation letter from a notable alumnus.
Jiang Cheng certainly didn’t have the ans to get a recomndation letter, so he had to work extra hard during the practical combat assessnt to earn a high score.
Otherwise, with the original Jiang Cheng’s marginal and precarious college entrance examination scores, Jiang Cheng might have difficulty entering a key Immortal Sect university.
Of course, the most pressing issue for Jiang Cheng at the mont was still “Repair Fluorescence Talisman.”
As long as he finished the task quickly, he would have the money and ti to study opponents for the university’s practical combat assessnt in advance!
Wuyue Residence, Room 2-1906.
Jiang Cheng sat in the small living room of his newly purchased apartnt.
On the table in front of him laid Zhou Yunshan’s “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman.”
The concept of “Reusable Type” in talismans is easy to understand.
It refers to a talisman that can be used repeatedly.
A normal communication talisman, like the Sound Transmission Talisman, can only be used once to send a ssage.
But a “Reusable Type Communication Talisman” can achieve repeated contact similar to a phone, which is the cleverness of “Reusable Type.”
The “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman” works the sa way.
The user can touch it to choose whether to turn the Fluorescence Talisman on or off.
During the day, the Fluorescence Talisman can be turned off so it doesn’t function. At night, it can be turned on and attached above the fishhook and thrown into the water for fishing.
Its main function is to provide a light source near the fishhook for night-ti anglers, making it easier for them to tell if a fish has bitten the hook.
Additionally, the fluorescence also attracts fish to bite, as so fish are phototactic and the light points can catch their attention.
The practical function of the “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman” can’t be said to be exactly the sa as the glowing fishing floats on Earth, but rather completely identical.
However, the problem Jiang Cheng faced was not how to create a new Fluorescent Talisman, but to solve the issue of Zhou Yunshan not catching any fish.
Whether Zhou Yunshan could catch fish was the key to this task!
Without addressing the fundantal problem, no matter what new talisman Jiang Cheng created, it would be useless.
Jiang Cheng carefully examined the structure of the “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman.”
This talisman was quite simple, consisting mainly of two parts.
One was the glowing talisman body “Fluorescence Talisman,” and the other was the “battery” supplying power to it—the Button Spirit Stone.
Yue Linger wasn’t wrong; structurally and functionally, this Fluorescence Talisman indeed was not damaged.
But the changes in the “drop rate program” controlling the fishing success rate was sothing the indigenous people of the “Immortal Gods” world couldn’t detect.
Being adept at considering problems from the fundantal logic of the “Immortal Gods” world was Jiang Cheng’s advantage as a transmigrator!
While ordinary Talisman Masters were still pondering whether the talisman was damaged, Jiang Cheng was already considering which items could enhance the “fishing success rate.”
Yes.
In “Immortal Gods,” the “draw probability,” also known as “luck,” “destiny,” or “blessing,” can be enhanced.
The simplest way to do this is to spend money.
Top up for a guaranteed win, right?
As long as you spend enough money, you can completely empty the prize pool.
But Jiang Cheng, being a transmigrator, obviously couldn’t perform the act of topping up; he had to make use of the items already present in “Immortal Gods” to increase the “fishing explosion rate.”
Luckily, as a statistician, Jiang Cheng managed the in-ga economy by controlling the inflation of aquatic products and maintaining the economic balance of the ga society; this was part of his job too.
If Jiang Cheng rembered correctly, there were many items that could make players fish “efficiently,” such as the famous Hero-grade item “AK Fishing Rod·Fire Kirin.”
This rod’s main feature was its supermodel design.
It gave the player an experience like shooting while fishing.
However, this type of fishing rod obviously didn’t et Jiang Cheng’s needs.
He needed a small and lightweight item to fit into the “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman” he was designing.
The world of “Immortal Gods” was vast, with countless items, and even Jiang Cheng couldn’t rember every single one.
To find a suitable thod to improve fishing probability, Jiang Cheng fell into deep thought.
“What are you thinking about?” Liu Qing appeared beside Jiang Cheng.
Since a mont ago, Liu Qing had sensed Jiang Cheng’s troubles.
The gloominess of her friend’s mood made her, soone who enjoyed basking in the sun, unable to feel joy.
She had willingly given up the beautiful afternoon sunlight to sit next to Jiang Cheng, wanting to ask if there was anything that she could help with.
“Say it again,” Jiang Cheng said, looking at Liu Qing.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Say it again.”
Liu Qing blinked and chose to continue trusting Jiang Cheng.
Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a cool breeze on a hot sumr’s eve, stirring the chis beneath the eaves.
“What are you thinking about?” she repeated.
Jiang Cheng clapped his hands together, a lightbulb mont!
“Got it!” he exclaid.
Got it?
Liu Qing was a bit curious.
She could clearly sense Jiang Cheng’s happiness.
But her curiosity didn’t matter much.
As long as her friend was happy, that was enough for her.
Liu Qing stood up gracefully from beside Jiang Cheng and walked back to her favorite spot on the balcony.
“Liu Qing,” Jiang Cheng called her.
She obligingly looked back at him.
Their gazes t.
One was fervent and tender, the other serene and pure.
“Thank you,” Jiang Cheng said earnestly.
“There’s no need,” Liu Qing shook her head.
She was about to say sothing more, parting her cherry lips, but seeing Jiang Cheng excitedly lower his head to pick up a pen, she quietly closed her mouth and silently soaked up the sun.
The reason Jiang Cheng was excited was that he had thought of a talisman that would perfectly et Zhou Yunshan’s needs!
The pen danced in his hand as he crafted a brand new talisman design!
