Chapter 251 - Choice of Advancement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Nianwei and Ling Xiaoyi were chatting and laughing while Hong Dali had to make a choice!

The choice regarding which system branch was he going to choose!

Because, during the time that he was asleep, the cold sound of the System actually sounded off in his mind—

“Main Mission: Squander 10 million in two weeks time, mission completed. Mission Reward: Five additional attribute points.”

“Host’s current exchangeable attribute points are 10 points.”

“Every time the Host uses 10 points, one welfare side branch can be exchanged.”

“The welfare side branch consists of Science and Technology, Skills, and Survival, three options. (Note: You can choose more than one.)”

“Host currently has 15 attribute points in total, please choose.”

Hearing the System’s voice in his mind, the asleep Hong Dali, as if sleepwalking, murmured, “The mission is completed? Oh… What shall I choose then? System, is there any specific explanation?”

System: “Science and Technology mainly is to use attribute points to exchange for blueprints. Skills will provide the Host with two types of usable special skills. Survival is to increase the survival capability of the Host. Please choose.”

Hm, choose one from three. This is a bit hard, what should I choose…

Hong Dali turned and tossed about and thought about it. “Blueprints are good, this must be the legendary black technology, right? The items created from the blueprints from the System will definitely be very awesome. Should I exchange for this one… But New Lanxiang hasn’t completed its construction yet. I don’t have any research labs yet even though I have the blueprint. Without the lab, I will not be able to produce anything even with the blueprint. It’s too early to be waiting for the laboratory now…

“Increase two special skills? This one isn’t very clear, but compared to the others, survival doesn’t seem to be something that I needed yet. At least within the Nation, no one should be able to kill me. After all, I’m a symbolic person now, the National Security Bureau will be in charge of my safety. What’s more, I’m just a little… Oh, I’m a big prodigal now. I’m so harmless, who would come looking to trouble me for no reason?

“Yup, since I can choose more than one, let’s choose…” Hong Dali directly made his choice. “I shall choose the ‘Skills’ side branch!”

After he said these words, very quickly, the System replied, “Host has chosen the side branch, please wait for a moment.”

Ding.

A soft sound sounded in Hong Dali’s ear. Then, in front of his eyes, two skills appeared. Hong Dali took a look and was instantly stunned.

On the left side skill, big words were written on it: Machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation.

On the right side skill, big words were written on it too: Gem processing, embedding, and magic enhancement.

“Machines? Gems?” Hong Dali’s head was full of question marks. “What is this? Are these two skills very awesome?”

However, they were, after all, given to him by the System, there shouldn’t be any issue with its quality. Hong Dali looked at the skill on the left first.

“Machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation: Host can choose to breakdown any machinery related to science and technology. After using the machine breakdown skill, the broken down parts will become the most basic unassembled form. Host will be able to obtain one to three spare parts that are still in perfect condition.”

“Perfect condition spare parts will have attribute enhancements. Their performance can be enhanced from 30% to 1000%. The result depends on the price of the machine that was broken down. The more expensive it is, the better is the enhancement of the spare parts.”

“After breaking down and obtaining all the spare parts required for a machine, Host can choose to use machine assembly. The spare parts will automatically combine and form a brand new piece of machinery. The exterior looks will resemble 80% and above of what it was like before it was broken down. However, the performance of the new machine will be greatly enhanced and will also have other practical abilities.”

“Note: This skill can be leveled up, attribute points are used to level up.”

“Level 1 to 10, every level requires 1 attribute point, able to breakdown machines under 100,000 yuan.”

“Level 11 to 20, every level requires 2 attribute points, able to breakdown machines under one million yuan.”

“Level 21 to 30, every level requires 3 attribute points, able to breakdown machines under ten million yuan.”

“Level 30 and above, unable to be leveled up in the current condition. System needs to be upgraded before it can continue to be leveled up.”

“Addition explanation: Currently, Host can only breakdown machines that belong to yourself.”

What the heck! Seeing the skills explanation, Hong Dali’s eyeballs almost popped out!

This skill is really awesome! This is totally—a standard prodigal skill! Look at it, breakdown into spare parts, so the thing that’s being broken down definitely must be something not bad too. It will cost at least 100,000 yuan, then one million, then ten million…

Oh, what the heck, doesn’t that mean that when I reach the maximum level, I can just buy a helicopter and break it down too? Breakdown a few helicopters and then assemble a new super awesome helicopter?

Once he thought about this, Hong Dali instantly felt that with this skill, he could do anything he wanted from now on—his first thought was that he could finally have a car that could match Chuyin’s science-fantasy-like sports car!

Three Prayer Angels and one Soaring Angel. Should I breakdown them, or breakdown them, or breakdown down…

This is such a difficult question!

Hong Dali thought for half a day before finally coming to the conclusion—he shouldn’t consider this yet, otherwise, he would have to walk when he left the house…

This machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation was already so awesome, then the other one…

Hong Dali hurriedly looked at the other skill—gem processing, embedding, and magic enhancement.

“Gem processing, embedding, and magic enhancement: Host can choose to process any ore that contains gems in it. After using the gem processing skill, the outer slag of the ore will directly breakdown and reveal the gem inside.”

“Gems processed by this skill will have additional attributes. Host can choose between strength, agility, reflexes, health, and energy supply to select one, two, or three types to infuse into the gem. The higher the level of the skill is, the higher the quality of the gem and the higher the attributes that can be infused.”

“Energy supply: After choosing this attribute, it will turn the attribute of the gem into the attribute of an energy source and continuously supply energy. The higher the quality of the gem, the higher the level of energy source.”

“After choosing the type of gem, Host can choose to embed the gem into a piece of jewelry. The jewelry that is embedded with an attribute gem will fully display the attribute of the gem. It will affect whoever wears it.”

“Host can only choose to embed an energy supply gem into a machine. It will greatly save on energy loss and also provide an additional source of energy.”

“Note: This skill can be leveled up, attribute points are used to level up.”

“Level 1 to 10, every level requires 1 attribute point, able to additionally infuse the gem with 1 point of an attribute.”

“Level 11 to 20, every level requires 2 attribute points, able to additionally infuse the gem with 2 points of an attribute.”

“Level 21 to 30, every level requires 3 attribute points, able to additionally infuse the gem with 3 points of an attribute.”

“Level 30 and above, unable to be leveled up in the current condition. System needs to be upgraded before it can continue to be leveled up.”

“Addition explanation: Currently, Host can only breakdown ores that belong to yourself.”

This…

Hong Dali excitedly touched his nose. This skill is very awesome too, isn’t it! The other attributes such as strength, agility, and reflexes aren’t important, the most important one is health! Health!

These years, who doesn’t wish to live healthily?

A gem that can increase one’s health. What the heck, this is totally cheating!

Hong Dali was so excited that his eyes went blank. These two skills are totally incredible, aren’t they!

I want to upgrade the System, I want to squander, I want to level up the skills!

However, Hong Dali was in a difficult spot again—he still had five attribute points and couldn’t decide where to add them on first…

It was obvious now that the other two side branches didn’t need to be added so hurriedly. These two skills should instead be leveled up first. Therefore, Hong Dali finally made the decision. “System, add the five attribute points from completing the Mission all onto machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation!”

Once Hong Dali finished saying this, with a PA sound, the skill points of machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation was instantly changed to 6 points!

The System gave a new prompt: “Currently, Host can breakdown machines under 60,000 yuan.”

With this new explanation, the rest was simple—Level 11 to 20 should be able to breakdown 100,000 yuan to 900,000 yuan machinery, Level 21 to 30 would be to breakdown one million yuan to nine million yuan machinery.

The only problem now was what this based on. Hong Dali hurriedly asked, “System, what is the pricing based on?”

The System’s answer was really simple: “The average price of the same products in the market.”

It was clear now. For example, for an object, here was selling for 85,000, the other city was selling it at 95,000. Thus, the average was 90,000 yuan, which was the breakdown price…

After everything was accounted for, the System started to announce the next mission. “Main Mission Two released: Squander 50 million yuan in three months time. Upon failure, Host will lose 20 attribute points from each attribute. If completed, there is an additional reward of 20 attribute points.”

Hong Dali: “…”

As expected, the more I squander, the more serious the punishment is. 50 million in three months time, yup, that shouldn’t be a problem!

After the System’s voice disappeared, Hong Dali couldn’t wait anymore and instantly crawled up. He had already been laying there for quite a while. He rubbed his eyes and asked, “Sister Nianwei, what time is it now?”

Li Nianwei smiled and said, “It has just reached 9 now. Young Master, there is no need to rush. If you are still tired, why not rest for a while more? Xinxin is playing badminton with Sister Cai now, and Sister Zixuan is also gaming on the third floor.”

“Oh…” They were having their free time now, this was quite good. Hong Dali stretched his waist. This was the perfect time to experiment on the new skills he acquired from the System. The question was, what should he breakdown…

Luckily, he found the solution very quickly—that’s right, it was his phone!

Brouhaha, this item is good. Smartphones are something that everyone must have. He shall make a super awesome smartphone that looks normal on the outside. He shall breakdown his phone first!
