Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 27: Promoted to Talking Patient
It was early Tuesday morning, just as the sky was getting light.

Star prepared the auxiliary materials he bought yesterday and put them together with the extraordinary characteristics of "Miss Messenger", ready to start the promotion.

This is not because Renette Tinicole was blinded by anger and gave away her extraordinary characteristics to Star.

After all, she is the leader of the temperance faction and should restrain her desires. How could she do such a thing for a few high-level talismans?
Adding money is not enough~
Star is her colleague and has integrity. How could he use his colleague's extraordinary characteristics to get promoted?
Of course, he was waiting for her to fetch a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of "Madman".

As for how this strange blood-colored extraordinary characteristic came about, Star tacitly did not ask when he received it last night.

After all, when the "Temperance Faction" was being hunted down everywhere, it was reasonable for "Miss Messenger" to fight back and justly kill an unfortunate member of the Rose School on the spot.

Of course, it could also be the collection of Renette Tinicole. After all, she owns a castle in the spirit world and is also a high-sequence "prisoner" herself.

In any case, Star was very satisfied with the "Messenger Lady's" straightforwardness. This saved him the effort of collecting the main ingredients for the potion.

Sequence 8 auxiliary materials are not rare. Star also bought them at the underground market of the Dragon Bar yesterday.

Out of gratitude, he gave "Miss Messenger" a few more talismans, giving her 15 at once.

Although the messenger was a little confused, Star still made her accept it after she tried to refuse.

After all, if he was given all the extraordinary characteristics, it would be very convenient for him to be promoted in one go.

If he delayed any further, he was afraid that he would lose the courage to try for promotion.

Now he has arranged many things and the necessary arrangements have been completed.

The atmosphere has been set up until now, if you don’t get promoted now, when will you?

If Miss Messenger is still embarrassed, please help separate the Beyonder Characteristics.

Moreover, if the labor cost of these talismans is not counted, the main cost is spiritual energy, as for the cost of the bronze fragments.

What? Do you need to buy a bunch of broken copper pieces? You can probably find them by picking up trash on the roadside.

Thinking about it this way, the formula of a Sequence 8 potion with Beyonder properties would cost 1000 pounds in total. If it was urgently needed, the price would be increased to 1300 pounds.

In terms of calculation, Star's profit from trading spells may have increased by more than a thousand times.

Those spiritual herbs are only worth a few dollars. If he doesn't use them and consumes his own spirituality, then Star can be said to have successfully achieved the miracle of "making money out of nothing" and making N times the profit with no capital investment.

Of course, this is also because the opponent is a "broken angel" who needs to restore his strength. If it were someone else, I'm afraid there wouldn't be such a high bid.

Even so, Star felt that there was something wrong with the look in the eyes of the "Messenger Lady" when she was leaving. Her eyes seemed to be irritated by something and became even redder.

Shaking his head, Star put these thoughts behind him, looked calmly at his potion materials, and prepared to start his own promotion.

If you fail to get promoted, then all these material possessions you have will just be a gift to others.

He has made all the necessary preparations, and in the end he can only take a gamble.

Star added the ingredients one by one and threw in the blood-stained gray-white ball of light that looked like a miniature brain, the Beyonder Characteristics of the "Madman", and the crucible soon began to boil.

I saw that the liquid inside was stained with a strange purple color, with a hint of deep blue in between. They were intertwined yet extremely clear.

Gurgle, gurgle, bubbles rolled and surged in the liquid but could not escape and could only break sadly.

Then, there was no ripple or bubble in the liquid, like the suppression before madness.

After pouring it into a glass bottle, Star placed a one-pound gold coin between the thumb and index finger of his left hand, flicked it upwards with a clang, and opened his palm to catch it.

Then a "dice roll" was made between the real and the imaginary.

[Dark Dice]

【Luck: 26/60 (Success)】

He was using the "dice divination method" to confirm whether the potion he prepared was successful!
Snapped!
The gold coin fell, with the portrait facing upwards, indicating affirmation! Without further hesitation, Star put away the gold coin, picked up the potion, calmed down, and meditated to calm his inner throbbing and let all emotions temporarily stay away from himself. Then he picked up the metal bottle and drank the "madman" potion inside.

At this time, the sun had gradually risen. Even though the gas lamp in the room had not yet been lit, the surroundings were bright. The area near the bay window was brightly lit by the faint light from outside.

Star had already tilted his head back and drank the "Madness" potion.

Or rather, it is the magic potion for the "whispering patient".

The reality and illusion automatically emerged in this scene, and star-like phantoms of light patterns unfolded. When Star took the potion, he domineeringly left his own mark on it.

Without any obstruction, the cold liquid with a slightly numbing sensation slid through his esophagus, entered his stomach, and instantly spread to every cell of his in an incredible way.

It was as if his spirit was pulled out of his body in an instant. Star felt an uncontrollable tremor all over his body, and he was numbly transformed by the stimulation like an electric current.

After an unknown amount of time, he could hear the buzzing sound in his ears again, his vision began to return, and the world reorganized before his eyes.

Star saw his own image reflected in his mind, just like he could hear his own singing through the earphones.

He gradually regained his senses, was able to consciously restrain his thoughts, slowly entered a meditative state, and little by little got rid of the slightly out-of-control situation of his spirituality.

At this time, he clearly knew that he had been promoted successfully and knew that he had become a Sequence 8 "Mumbling Patient".

"Great, it turns out that the truth and falsehood really didn't trick me."

"You must quickly retract the letter of accusation against yourself."

Having already embarked on the "tampering" path of promotion once, he knew that the truth would be exposed in this process, and Star did not dare to have anyone watching.

In addition, the path of potion advancement cannot be disturbed, so Starlian never thought of asking "Miss Messenger" to protect him.

Therefore, in order to prevent himself from failing in cross-channel promotion, losing control and becoming a monster, and harming people in the city, he had already reported through some means in advance that he might turn into a monster.

He silently recited Mr. Fool’s three-part honorific name and said:
"Dear Xiao Ke, everything is fine here, you don't have to worry about me."

I hope Xiao Ke didn’t hear my “last words” so early in the morning, and that he is not on his way to capture me with his men.

After doing all this, Star finally had time to carefully check the abilities he had gained by taking the potion of the "Prisoner" path under the "Desire" realm source element.

The first is the ability that comes with the extraordinary characteristic of "Madman".

It enhances Star's physical fitness, and usually gives him some resistance to certain mental abilities that interfere with his thoughts and affect his spirit. He can also voluntarily and proactively sacrifice his sanity and unleash his desires in exchange for strength, thus gaining improvements in all aspects.

Apart from the fact that the mind will become less clear during that period, there is no big problem. It may even make one more resistant to the extraordinary abilities of the psychic system.

After all, he has already lost his mind. There is no way he can go crazy again, right?

Of course, he had asked the messenger to separate out the characteristics of Sequence 9.

There is no enhancement here as in its predecessor, The Prisoner, which carries with it the knowledge of many criminal techniques - such as knowledge as an expert in explosives, and the knowledge of being good at killing people with any object that comes to hand.

Star said he didn't care. He had learned some of these skills when he was surfing the Internet in his previous life, and now he still remembered them clearly in his mind because of the enhanced memory of "Gambler".

He himself is not from this path, and his main enhancement still depends on the abilities brought by the "tampering" path.

So, Star checked his ability as a "talking patient" again.

As the leader of a sect, it is reasonable for Miss Messenger to be responsible for her subordinates and make more money.

(Xiao Ke once recognized the gold coins he had given to Miss Messenger among the gold coins he traded with Miss Sharon)

The idea of ​​moderation is not to have no desires and become a salted fish, but to restrain oneself - within the scope of what is deserved, and generally not to be polite.
