Chapter 138
Zhang Hao originally wanted to try his luck at the Panjiayuan Antique Market.
Let's see if we can get one or two special items.
He never expected that there would be rare items on the special items.
Moreover, the effect of each rare item is 10 times that of a special item.
In other words, where fusing a special item used to give 1 experience point, fusing a rare item now gives 10 experience points.
The current All Things Integration System is at level 3. It takes 30 experience points to upgrade from level 3 to level 4.
In other words, it only needs to fuse 3 rare items to upgrade the system level to level 4 and unlock new functions.
Each upgrade of the Everything Integration System unlocks new features; the last upgrade unlocked the ability to stack.
Previously, fusing items with the same characteristics would result in stronger ones overriding weaker ones. Now, as long as items with the same attributes are fused, the resulting abilities will be stacked.
This means that the effect of each ability has no upper limit and can be stacked infinitely.
The improvement in the system's capabilities compared to before the upgrade is simply terrifying.
In addition, if there are enough rare items, the evolution speed of the Qilin bloodline will increase by 10 times.
Before long, the Qilin bloodline will be able to be upgraded to the ninth level and gain the ability to transform into human form. At that time, he will be able to summon the divine beast Qilin to fight alongside him.
Zhang Hao's mind was invaded by a wisp of another person's consciousness.
The mere roar of the Qilin's phantom shattered that consciousness. This was not even the Qilin in its physical form; even a weak phantom possessed such power, demonstrating the Qilin's immense strength.
Zhang Hao believed that when his bloodline took human form, he would be fearless even when facing the most powerful enemy.
Summoning the divine beast Qilin will allow you to easily defeat your opponent.
After Zhang Hao got his hands on the rare bronze tree branch, he asked Fatty to take him to continue strolling around the Panjiayuan Antique Market.
He wanted to try his luck and see if he could get a few special items, or even rare items.
After he finished filling the entire market, the system notification sound did not sound again.
Zhang Hao smiled and sighed, realizing he had been too greedy.
Rare items are things that can only be found by chance.
He was already incredibly lucky to have found one item in the antique market, and he was hoping to find a second one.
By the time Zhang Hao and his group finished browsing the antique market, it was already getting dark.
Fatty found a unique restaurant nearby and led Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie inside, where they ordered a large table of food.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they strolled around the night market before the fat man finally took them back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Hao immediately locked the door.
He took out the bronze tree branch he had bought at the Panjiayuan Antique Market.
"The system merges with the branches of the Bronze Divine Tree."
[Ding, command received, fusion initiation.]
As the system notification sounded, the branches of the bronze divine tree transformed into liquid, enveloping his body. They then dissolved into countless tiny molecules, completely covering his entire body.
The liquid rapidly dispersed into tiny molecules, which then seemed to come alive and desperately tried to penetrate his body and merge with him.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your 32nd fusion is complete. Fusion item: Bronze Divine Tree Branch.]
[Ding, congratulations host, you have obtained the fusion item's trait: Curse, Curse Immunity.]
Upon hearing the system notification, Zhang Hao couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"
As expected of a rare item even more precious than a special grade 5 item, it actually grants two different abilities after fusion.
The power of curses is a formidable thing; it can kill without leaving a trace.
Just like the previous two owners of the bronze tree branch, they only possessed the branch and were not cursed by others. In a short period of time, their families were destroyed and they suffered a miserable fate.
This ability would be far more useful on an enemy than killing them outright.
After all, killing someone is just a matter of beheading them.
There are many despicable enemies; killing them outright would be too lenient.
Now that I have the power of curses, things are different. I can easily cast a curse on an enemy and make them wish they were dead.
The power of curses was already terrifying enough, but then they gained the ability to be immune to curses as well.
The combination of these two abilities is simply incredible.
This is equivalent to being able to curse others with the ability to curse, but being immune to others using the same ability on you.
Imagine a martial arts master bullying a little kid – it's like an instant kill, a complete annihilation.
Then Zhang Hao realized that even a single branch of the Bronze Divine Tree was a rare item, capable of bringing such great benefits.
What kind of abilities would one gain if they fused with a complete bronze divine tree?
Zhang Hao remembered that the bronze divine tree in the Qinling Mountains was over a hundred meters tall, far exceeding the height of a single branch.
He couldn't help but look forward to his upcoming trip to the Qinling Mountains.
But before that, he had to help Yi Sa and Ding Yudie investigate the truth behind the water demon's mutation.
They have discovered that the Ancestral Golden Soup contains a method to turn ordinary people into water demons.
If we can figure out how to turn ordinary people into water demons, then we may also be able to uncover the truth behind the water demon mutation.
Zhang Hao helped Yi Sa and Ding Yudie not only because they were worthy of his help, but more importantly because he could also benefit from it.
Aside from the number of times they can be merged, they can also gain access to some information about the gods.
Although the Wu family and the Zhang family, to which Zhang Hao belongs, have now disappeared from God's sight.
But as long as God exists, he may discover the existence of both families.
His millennia-long scheme, and the fact that he secretly manipulated so many forces to investigate, reveals that the health of both families was of great importance to him.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to find the whereabouts of the two families.
For years, Uncle Wu has been investigating ways to eliminate the gods, but progress remains slow.
Now that I have the ability, I definitely want to do my part.
Another point is that there are only two more chances to merge now, so there might be some good stuff at the Crescent Hotel auction.
If you use up your two chances, you won't have enough chances to fuse with the Bronze Divine Tree after finding the Divine Tree in the Qinling Mountains.
Therefore, it would be a better choice to go to the Ancestral Golden Soup with Yi Sa and the others first to obtain the number of fusion attempts, and then head to the Qinling Mountains.
Besides, the most crucial point is that Yi Sa doesn't have much time left; she could die at any moment.
Just as Zhang Hao was organizing his thoughts, the system notification sounded again.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing the rare item Bronze Divine Tree Branch. Bloodline evolution progress +10, Qilin bloodline upgraded to Tier 2, Tier 2 evolution progress (0/30).]
[Ding! The Qilin bloodline has successfully evolved to level 2, increasing insect-repelling ability by 400%, evil-repelling ability by 400%, and lifespan by 1600 years.]
The Qilin bloodline, which originally required the fusion of 10 special items to advance, advanced directly to Tier 2 after Zhang Hao fused with a rare item, and all its attributes doubled again.
In addition, the attributes brought by the transformation are all doubled, which means that the effect of the second-tier Qilin blood is an 800% increase in insect repellent ability, an 800% increase in evil-repelling ability, and a 3200-year increase in lifespan.
