Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 204 - 141: He’s Not Interested in the Tower of Starlight?_2

As if he had thought of something, the Night Owl’s eyes showed a contemplative expression.

The Scepter was the first to come to his senses and said in a deep voice, "How can you prove what you said is true?"

The Hunter seemed to have anticipated this situation, leisurely saying, "I can set an Oath Contract."

Upon hearing the Hunter’s words, everyone no longer doubted and looked at the Talisman Stone with eyes that suddenly became especially fervent.

That is the Starlight Tower!

One of the only three wizard legacies on the Starlight Continent!

It is said that as long as one can enter it, there is a great hope of being promoted to an Official Wizard.

On the Starlight Continent, where elements are scarce and resources are poor, this is almost the only hope for these Level 3 Wizard Apprentices to be promoted to wizards!

"The Starlight Tower opens once every twenty years, and the position where it appears each time is random and unfixed. Only those who hold the key can find the Starlight Tower and enter it. As far as I know, the next time the Starlight Tower opens is in ten years."

After listening to the Hunter, everyone’s eyes grew brighter.

"Name your price." The rasping voice of Remains was hard to conceal his fervor, his gaze fixed on the Hunter, "What do you want to trade?"

The Hunter didn’t speak, but instead looked at Sunan.

Upon seeing this, everyone felt a thud in their hearts.

They almost forgot, there’s a player involved!

If he wants the Starlight Tower key, no one present can compete with him!

But, to their surprise, Sunan shook his head, "I’m not interested, go ahead and trade."

The Hunter was taken aback.

He had been counting on making a big fortune from the wealthy Sunan by trading the Starlight Tower key, but unexpectedly, the other party played out of the norm.

Could it be that he’s not interested in the Starlight Tower?

It shouldn’t be!

Would there really be a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice uninterested in the Starlight Tower?

The Hunter found it baffling.

Rose, Scepter, Red Heart, and Remains were also stunned, puzzled as to why Sunan wasn’t interested.

Only Night Owl looked calm.

He had already figured out the connection.

"The Starlight Tower, the Starlight Principality, huh, who would have thought there was actually a correlation between them, I used to think it was just a coincidence of names."

When he snapped back to reality and saw the player truly not planning to bid, everyone was overjoyed.

As long as the player doesn’t participate, their hope of obtaining the Starlight Tower key increases greatly.

The Hunter was greatly disappointed and could only say, "My first choice is potions and gemstones, other things can be considered depending on their value."

As soon as the words fell, Remains impatiently made the first offer:

"A gemstone worth ten thousand Gold Coins, plus five mini soul crystals!"

Not far behind, the others also joined in without lagging:

"Two bottles of Serenity Potion, plus gemstones worth twenty thousand Gold Coins!"

"Gemstones worth thirty thousand Gold Coins!"

The prices rose sharply.

This was probably the most fierce competition for a trade since the establishment of the Cabin in the Woods.

Everyone displayed an attitude of being determined to obtain the key.

Sunan sat leisurely to the side, watching the five bid against each other.

If possible, he would certainly want the Starlight Tower key too.

Though he already has it himself, he could give it to Kei.

But seeing Night Owl and the others obviously set on the key, willing to pay a high price,

If he had to pay an inordinate price to get the key, then he’d rather pass.

After all, letting Kei enter the Starlight Tower is also for obtaining the Dawn Potion that can extend life, he might as well wait for him to enter the Starlight Tower in the future and find a way to get a bottle to give to Kei.

Compared to the scramble for the Starlight Tower key, Sunan was more curious about how the Hunter obtained this item.

Because as far as he knew, the Starlight Tower key seemed to only be in the possession of Evans.

"Could it be that the Hunter knows Evans? Or perhaps he snatched it from Evans?"

"Speaking of which, Night Owl used to say that the Hunter escaped from Saulo of the Eternal Life Association, does this have anything to do with the Eternal Life Association?"

Various possibilities flashed through Sunan’s mind.

At this moment, the bidding around the Starlight Tower key finally ended.

Ultimately, the Scepter won the Starlight Tower key with an offer of thirteen bottles of Serenity Potion and gemstones worth sixty-two thousand Gold Coins.

Sunan was not surprised by this outcome.

After all, before he joined the Cabin in the Woods, the Scepter was the member who spent the most lavishly.

Moreover, if his guess was right, if the Scepter indeed belongs to the Cangjin Empire royal family, then his lavish spending is understandable.

The Cangjin Empire is the most powerful nation in the southeastern region of the continent, without a rival.

The Serenity Potion is a first-level potion that assists in meditation, valued at about just over three hundred Gold Coins.

Ultimately, it was calculated that the Scepter spent nearly sixty-six thousand Gold Coins to claim the Starlight Tower key.

This cost is said to be high.

However, judging by the Scepter’s expression, he was quite pleased with this result.

Rose, Red Heart, and Remains looked somewhat unwilling.

Unfortunately, their wealth was no match for his, and no matter how unwilling they were, they could only hold back.

Sunan looked deeply at the Hunter.

Since the other party was willing to bring out the Starlight Tower key for trade, it indicated that he had another key on him, perhaps more than one.

Maybe the same trade might happen again in the future.

...

Frostfall Month (November).

Snippets of snow drifted down to earth.

Indeed, this year’s snow came early.

Compared to the piercing cold of the gale blowing above ground, the underground world simply experienced a slight drop in temperature.

The human-faced lion warriors in Ghost Lake City still walked around the streets naked on their upper body.

In Base No. 2, laboratory.

The wide workbench was filled with dense test tubes, each holding blood extracted from the Clock Striker, standardized at 100 ml.

"This ought to be enough blood."

Sunan murmured, opening the cube to place the blood inside one by one, eyes tightly focused on the synthesis interface.

As more blood was added, the bloodline purity on the synthesis interface continued to rise.

59.13%...64.79%...71.34%...84.11%...

When there were less than eight test tubes left on the workbench, the bloodline purity on the synthesis interface finally broke through 100%, and the information abruptly changed.

[Blood of Screaming Horror Insects, purity 1.25%, contains 1 standard unit of Divinity energy, after injection into the human body there is a very small chance of merging with the Screaming Horror Insects bloodline, a very high chance of rejection reaction, severe cases can lead to death, the stronger the physique and spirit, the higher the fusion success rate and lower rejection reaction.]

"Success!"

Sunan was overjoyed.

As he expected, even without boosting the Clock Strikers’ bloodline purity, Divinity energy could be created through blood synthesis.

Although the descriptive text showed that the Divinity energy contained was minimal, it proved that his method was correct.

Sunan immediately extracted the Divinity energy from the blood and absorbed it right away.

Unlike the Divinity energy obtained from the Divine Spirit, this naturally generated Divinity creature’s internal Divinity energy lacked the power of belief and thus presented no issue of faith contamination, making it very pure for direct absorption.

After finishing absorbing the Divinity energy, Sunan opened the panel and found his Spirit increased by 0.25.

"Not bad!"

Sunan smiled satisfactorily.

After all, there was only 1 standard unit of Divinity energy, much less than what he extracted from the Divine Remains, having a Spirit increase of 0.25 was already quite good.

The key point is that it’s sustainable.

As long as the Clock Strikers are there, blood can be continuously drawn, artificially creating Divinity energy, essentially having an additional means to regularly grow Spiritual Power.

"It’s roughly eight months’ worth of blood to create 1 standard unit of Divinity energy."

"So on average, it can additionally increase about 0.37 of Spiritual Power every year."

"No, that’s not right, the increase in Spiritual Power becomes more difficult later on, and future increments should gradually decrease."

"But even so, it can shorten my time to break the 60 in Spiritual Power quite a bit."

Sunan thought of the Clock Striker confined in the detention area.

Considering the significant contribution it made, it would be brought out from the detention area to a more pleasant environment soon.

Otherwise, living in a dark jail, being drawn blood daily, would likely lead to depression eventually.

Of course, defenses should be tighter.

Just right, the Refined Gold Golem is unused, let it be responsible for guarding the Clock Striker.
