Chapter 253 New Talent: Talent Deprivation

October 1, the twelfth cycle, ak49 player world.

In the early morning of autumn, the sun is thin and the morning breeze is cold. If you open more windows, the temperature in the house will drop several degrees.

In the restaurant at home, Li Feng could feel the cool breeze while eating breakfast, but he did not feel cold.

Because of his extraordinary nature and divine status, the natural climate will have almost no impact on him.

On the other side of the dining table, Xue Yu stared blankly in front of her. She was tinkering with the system that suddenly appeared in her mind this morning.

Just now, Li Feng asked her what level her player talent was and what its name was.

Xue Yu suddenly remembered that when the system first appeared, it seemed that the word "talent" had been mentioned, and she also had player talent.

However, for Mermaid, who had only been exposed to modern technology for a few days, the more intelligent system made her feel retarded.

At this time, Xue Yu was still trying to find the [Personal Information] interface that Li Feng mentioned.

"Ah, I found it!"

Finally finding the personal information interface Li Feng mentioned, Xue Yu took a deep breath, almost feeling like she had completed an important mission.

When Li Feng heard this, he stopped Kuai Zi and asked her:

"What level of talent is it? Or, in other words, are there any letters written in the talent column?"

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here]

The player talent levels are f, e, d, c, b, a, s, ss, and sss. Level f is the lowest and level sss is the highest.

Afraid of differences in cultural differences and misunderstanding, Li Feng thought about it, gave examples, explained and asked again.

"Well...that, it..."

However, Li Feng's explanation made Xue Yu even more confused.

She said hesitantly with an expression and tone that suggested she had a problem:

"My talent... seems... to have no levels."

"No?"

"Hmm! I really couldn't find the letters you mentioned, nor the words 'level' and 'level'. These words are not found everywhere."

Xue Yu described it very seriously, and at the same time she felt fear in her heart. She now very much hopes that Li Feng will tell her that it's okay, this is normal, and other players are like this too.

But Li Feng's reaction was obviously not like this.

'There is no talent level, this...'

I can't explain what I feel in my heart. Isn't it too stingy for Li Feng to feel like the God of Creation? After all, he is still your loyal believer and has worshiped you for thousands of years.

As a result, the believer was given a levelless talent, which was too much.

"Well - let's forget about the talent level for now. What is the name of your talent and how does the system explain it?"

Seeing that the mermaid was quite nervous, Li Feng skipped the level and asked directly for specific talents.

"It seems to be called... talent deprivation?"

Xue Yu said hesitantly, then looked carefully and found out the system's explanation of talents:

"The talent description says...

You can kill other players to deprive them of their player talents and keep them for your own use. When depriving talents, you can choose and replace them.

What does it mean? Do you want me to... kill other players and get their talents? "

Xue Yu was a little confused.

Li Feng on the side was also shocked that he had such a talent.

No wonder there is no talent level. It's because she has the same level of talent as she deprived of it.

and.

If you are not satisfied with the current talent, or you find a better one, you can also kill players to get more talents, and then replace your original talents.

This is too much.

Li Feng was in a complicated mood. He overturned the idea that the God of Creation was stingy with her followers, and then murmured:

"Your God still cares about you."

"But I, I think this kind of ability is only used by villains in TV series."

Xue Yu, who has gradually understood her talent, thought of the various TV series with happy endings she had watched in the past few days.

"It doesn't matter. Generally speaking, villains can survive until the last episode."

Li Feng followed her words and added seriously.

"But if you survive until the last episode, you will still die!"

"Then you should talk less in the future. Villains usually die from talking too much."

Xueyu: "...Huh?"

"By the way, have you received a mission?"

Li Feng got back to business.

Although Xue Yu became a player in a different way than him, after becoming a player, the system will give him tasks.

"Well, let me see."

Xue Yu said as she tried to find and open the mission interface. She was much more proficient this time than last time.

"Indeed, it seems to be a mission to advance to the extraordinary."

Reading the text on the interface, Xue Yu continued:

"The mission requirement is to obtain a player talent, and the mission reward is to obtain the qualification to become a transcendent."

The mermaid tribe was cursed by the Seven Gods. Although they are a transcendent race, they cannot be promoted to transcendence unless they are truly loved by other races.

So at the moment, the reward of this task is still very attractive to Xue Yu, but...

"It's just, where should I find the players? Besides, I can't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Um."

Li Feng nodded and thought about the possibilities, but couldn't think of a suitable target for the moment, so he asked again:

"Then does your task have a set time for completion?"

Xue Yu shook her head.

Feeling relieved, Li Feng finally said:

"Since there is no time limit, we can take a long-term view.

It is indeed wrong to kill innocent people, but you'd better choose a talent that will help you get promoted in the future."

...

AK49 Player World, Cloud City, Research Institute.

"Has the stowaway x not appeared yet?"

In the conference room, Gao, who is also a player, sat with a group of official players.

An official player's mobile phone was on speakerphone, and he was talking to a field staff waiting at a certain location, asking whether x had stowed here as agreed.

However, like the previous times, they got a negative answer from the field staff.

"It's seven o'clock in the morning now, the immortal Walnut should have attacked long ago, right?"

"Once every twenty minutes, it's seven o'clock now, um, it has attacked 21 times."

"21 times, Sister Yanyan, won't x become a towering tree?"

In the conference room, some official players were discussing, and some asked Huang Yanyan.

Huang Yanyan didn't comment, she always felt that this matter would not be so simple.

The tree seeds eaten by stowaway x that made him live a life worse than death were originally called the Immortal Walnut.

It is a relatively evil means of cursing and controlling people in the Endless Sea world.

There was once an old player who accidentally got this thing and learned the spell to control it.

After that, the old player brought the Immortal Walnut to the player world. After the research institute realized its role, it asked each generation of official players to learn the control spell in case of emergency.

The consequences of people cursed by the Immortal Walnut are indeed serious, but this curse itself has many limitations.

First of all, it is not a high-level curse. The Immortal Walnut is only useful for extraordinary people below the third level.

If it is an extraordinary person above the third level, it is easy for them to find it when the Immortal Walnut curse is imposed.

And even if they are really cursed, they can probably resolve it by themselves.

Secondly, there are some limitations to the control spell for the Immortal Walnut.

If the cursed person escapes control, the immortal walnut will grow on its own every twenty minutes.

Although this kind of self-growth seems powerful, it must start from the time when the old and new days alternate, that is, from midnight the next day, in order to grow every twenty minutes.

As for the stowaway x, at the end of the game cycle, all players returned, and x naturally escaped control.

But it happened to be midnight, so after twenty minutes, the immortal walnut will grow on its own.

Although it is not a waste of too much time, Huang Yanyan feels that the twenty-minute window period is too long for x, and he definitely has the opportunity to do something else.

And that person has always been very self-important. As a second-level player, he does not seem to be alone. Behind him, there must be forces from another world.

Huang Yanyan once considered that since he had a falling out with x and things had come to this point, in order to avoid him attracting more people and causing unnecessary trouble, the most foolproof way is to make him never go back.

Huang Yanyan felt helpless about using unjust means, and she would not be proud of it or take pleasure in it, but she was by no means irrational.

Since the relationship with x has reached this level, and all the questions should be asked, and the world and forces behind him are unknown, it is best not to let the tiger go back to the mountain and raise a tiger to cause trouble.

But the attitude of the institute on this matter is to continue to obtain more information from x, and even control him for a long time, so as to control the world behind him and the technology of that world.

Moreover, x's S-level sign-in talent and his mourning bird have made the institute very interested.

But from Huang Yanyan's understanding of x, she thinks it is inappropriate to do so, but her level is too low and her voice is not important, so it is not her turn to make suggestions on such matters.

There was a sound of paper in the meeting room, which was the official players summarizing the letters that were exchanged in the last cycle.

Most of these letters record important information, and the institute will organize and back them up.

Perhaps because they felt that x's fate was determined, the players gradually stopped mentioning him and turned to talk about other things.

Seeing this, Huang Yanyan chose to remain silent despite her concerns.

However, just as the meeting was about to end, a younger player suddenly asked:

"Team Leader Gao, x did not abide by the agreement. Could it be that he found a way to resolve the immortal walnut? What should we do next?"

Huang Yanyan also looked at Team Leader Gao after hearing this. She was very curious about how the superiors would deal with x's failure to abide by the agreement.

However, Team Leader Gao shook his head:

"Don't worry about that x. He can't resolve the immortal walnut.

To resolve the immortal walnut, you have to become a third-level extraordinary person in the Endless Sea world.

But think about that x. Let alone an extraordinary person, he is not from the Endless Sea. He doesn't even know the common language of the Endless Sea world. How could he be promoted to the third level in 20 minutes?

His fate was doomed when he chose not to abide by the agreement with us."

The highest leader in this meeting room, Team Leader Gao denied it.

Then he concluded nonchalantly:

"What a pity, he could have cooperated with us."

...

Φt01 world, a towering palace on the top of Mount Uranus.

'It turns out that as long as the marble floor is smooth enough, even if it is pure black, it can emit a soft jewel luster under the sunlight. '

I don't know how long it took, but my whole body was numb, and I couldn't feel the pain in my body at all. When I opened my eyes, I found that his head was resting on the smooth marble floor.

In the main hall of the palace on the top of Mount Ouranos, the sunlight shone down from the huge skylight and reflected on the pure black floor in front of X's eyes.

Inexplicably, the thought just now came to x's mind.

How ironic, in the two wasteland worlds he was in, not to mention the ground, even the dining table could not be so clean and smooth.

'Yeah, if I'm destined to be a tree, then it's not bad to stay here. ’

"It seems you really like the floor in this main hall."

A slightly smiling voice sounded, making x's heart skip a beat.

Then, various memories flooded into his numb brain, and he realized more and more clearly where he was and who was speaking.

Not daring to neglect, x wanted to respond immediately. He opened his mouth and was about to speak out, but found that the branch in his mouth was gone and his throat was normal.

'this! How can it be? ’

This discovery was no small matter, and X was extremely shocked. He tried to move his body. As the numbness in his body gradually disappeared, X found that there were no saplings left on his body.

Suddenly something occurred to me. x immediately raised his upper body with his elbows and opened the system's personal information interface at the same time.

In the line of text, x noticed the change at the first time.

[Number of Godheads]: One-half

[Divinity Fusion Degree (Not Open)]: 0 (Opening Condition: Become a Level 3 Player)

Looking at these two lines of text, x's excited heart almost jumped out of his chest. His whole body was trembling. He looked up and saw Greedy Wolf standing in front of him.

Then without saying a word, he straightened up on his knees, kowtowed one after another, and repeated loudly:

"Thank you Mr. Greedy Wolf for the reinvention!"

Greedy Wolf didn't say anything. He just let him kowtow four or five times before he said calmly:

"Okay, you made too much noise and scared the deer in my garden."

Upon hearing this, x immediately shut up.

"Actually, you don't need to thank me. It's not that I don't want to repay you. Just make an oath. Oh, of course, you can think about it."

With the same calm voice, Greedy Wolf said to X while playing with the white spindle-shaped core of the earth.

As if he really wanted to give x time to think about it, Tanlang walked back to his high platform after saying this.

On the other side, X also realized that he knew clearly in his heart that there is no free benefit in the world.

Although that half of the godhead is of no use to Greedy Wolf, let alone worth mentioning, it still makes no sense for him.

Now Greedy Wolf makes himself swear an oath, which means that he will be loyal to him and become a member of the Harvest Alliance.

From X's point of view, this is not a loss, on the contrary, it makes a lot of money.

What level of organization is the Harvest Alliance, and what level of players can join the Harvest Alliance.

If nothing else, just look at this majestic palace and the many third-level players in this main hall.

So at that moment, X agreed from the bottom of his heart. He immediately stood up and walked to the center of the main hall, preparing to swear allegiance to the master of the Harvest Alliance.

But at this time, in the center of the main hall, there was another person kneeling upright, it was the player dressed as a king.

I don't know whether it was due to lack of time or something else, but no one had disposed of the body of the king player, and he still maintained the same posture as when he died, contrary to common sense.

Kneeling upright, with his head half raised, there was no tongue in his wide-open mouth. His neck was pinched to pieces by himself, and his tongue fell to the ground.

Smelling the strong blood that poured into his nose, x suddenly realized that this man must have sworn an oath to Tanlang.

Moreover, the half of the godhead he obtained originally belonged to this person.

But his fate...

Looking at the blood still spreading on the ground, X's footsteps slowed down for a moment.

But the next second, he was back to his original state.

Now he no longer cares about so much, x thought to himself, rather than being controlled by a research institute that didn't even have second-level players, of course it would be better to swear allegiance to Greedy Wolf.

After all, Greedy Wolf is a third-level player, and he is also a person who has fused 80% of his godhead. He is the highest-level player among all players in the world. It is not a loss to be loyal to him.

So at that moment, x knelt down next to the body of the kneeling king player.
