Chapter 63: Chapter 62: Raffle Event

Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng was surrounded by multiple glowing tracks, on which countless complex characters were leaping. He lowered his head to closely examine the connection nodes between the characters and tracks, as well as the path variations during the energy’s rotational flow.

The energy tracks and characters are the visualized structural analysis of the "Heavenly Talisman Battle Skill" gifted by Duan Xing to players.

By controlling the sacrificial energy capable of transforming the traits of all things, Qi Sheng could perfectly replicate the operational trajectory of the Heavenly Talisman Battle Skill and produce it as a product for players to purchase and use.

However, there was a problem: the training system of the Heavenly Talisman Battle Skill was not suitable for humans.

The human body structure, including meridian and organ layout, differed from that of the Sky Talisman Clan.

The operational trajectory of the Heavenly Talisman Battle Skill was simulated in human bodies, and the results were not ideal.

The external energy entering the test human body would uncontrollably surge through the meridians, bringing severe pain and discomfort. If the energy was not quickly dissipated, it could burst blood vessels, endangering the life of the test subject.

The reason Zhou Xiao could safely use the Heavenly Talisman Battle Skill was that he had absorbed a special energy stored in the Information Stone. This energy aided Zhou Xiao in digesting and converting externally absorbed energy before it would nourish Zhou Xiao’s body, thereby enhancing his physical fitness.

It was as if Zhou Xiao had an extra simplified absorption organ in his body that mimicked the physical structure of the Sky Talisman Clan.

This discovery instantly piqued Qi Sheng’s interest.

In his view, replicating this simplified organ was not difficult, and neither was copying the fully analyzed operational pathway of cultivation. As long as he had a detailed structural analysis of an item, he could perfectly reproduce anything by consuming sacrificial power.

He could even embed the replication process into the Challenger System in the form of an automated program.

For example, the Spirit Stones sold in the store were produced after he performed a detailed analysis of their internal structures.

During the production, in order to simplify the process, he set the conversion from sacrificial power to Spirit Stone to be automatic.

As soon as a player clicked to buy a Spirit Stone in the store, the Challenger System would activate the conversion program, and then the acquired Spirit Stone would be delivered to the player through the Space Department system.

With Guidance providing detailed analysis, replicating the simplified organ and Heavenly Talisman Battle Skill was not difficult.

The real challenge was creating a Universal Absorption and Conversion Organ.

The Sky Talisman Clan is just one of myriad racial forces in the Monster World, far from being a top-tier race, and their cultivation method held little value in Qi Sheng’s eyes.

But apart from the Sky Talisman Clan’s Body Refining Skills, there existed various powerful combat skills for cultivation within the Monster World.

These combat skills allow one to snatch a thread of Heaven and Earth Energy by following the world’s operational trajectory, nourish it within the body, and then reciprocate it to the body to achieve the effect of nurturing the body.

Among them, there are very excellent Body Refining Skills, with extremely high efficiency in capturing Heaven and Earth Energy.

Qi Sheng studied Body Refining Skills with the aim of creating a "Universal Cultivation Organ" for players, so that this organ was perfectly compatible with all combat skills; no matter which race’s combat skill the player learned, it could be perfectly operated through this special organ.

And the organ would be able to automatically record the operational trajectory of the player’s learned combat skills, allowing the player to activate it with a button push upon mastering the Body Refining Skills.

This would keep the player in a constant state of cultivation, gaining Body Refining Experience whether hunting or mining.

Of course, he would not offer this mode to players for free, as driving this Universal Organ would definitely cost more than the base price of sacrificial power.

It was tantamount to adding a pay-to-play cultivation mode under the built-in store model.

But at this stage, without any physical object to analyze and use as a reference, and only with the Heavenly Talisman Battle Skill provided by Duan Xing, Qi Sheng was momentarily unable to begin.

While pondering how to solve this issue, the Guiding Water Ball emerged from the void and hovered beside him:

[Big Boss, superdimensional connection.]

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng no longer considered the issue of creating the Universal Organ, as a screen of light manifested instantly before him.

In the screen, the expressionless Superdimension was sitting amidst lush green plants, blending into nature as one.

"Big Boss, we’ve encountered some difficulties in the development of the armed vehicles function."

"Is there not enough sacrificial power?"

Hearing this, Superdimension scratched his head with a silly smile:

"Building this system requires embedding a new energy conversion system on top of the existing one, so it needs sacrificial power to support it. The last recruitment consumed 2 million sacrificial power, plus the revenue in these days, subtracting my production consumption, you still have 390,000 sacrificial power left. With my speed of developing new functions, continuing to consume at this rate might likely affect your ability to distribute rewards."

After hearing Superdimension’s explanation, Qi Sheng slightly furrowed his brow.

After briefly pondering, he nodded towards Superdimension in the screen:

"Don’t worry, you keep on researching and developing. I will find a way to resolve this issue."

After ending the connection, Qi Sheng had already thought of how to fill this gap in sacrificial power.

Although he only had 390,000 sacrificial power in hand, the total amount in the Sacrificial Pool was 2.48 million, of which 2.09 million belonged to the players.

Although he would not lightly touch the players’ portion of sacrificial power, it must still be used when necessary.

Directly accessing it was not appropriate in his view.

If for some reason, the player community needed to consume a large amount of sacrificial power, it would lead to an inability to compensate the expenditures from the sacrificial power inventory, severely affecting the player experience.

Therefore, the most correct method was to find a proper reason to have players voluntarily surrender some of their sacrificial power, thus avoiding the potential risk of a sacrificial power run.
