Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 33 Unknown Token—Pointing to a Desperate Future

Talent Affix: Martial Arts Genius!

After reviewing the information transmitted by the Wanxiang Enhancement, Huang Hong's face showed a hint of joy.

So-called talent affixes are resources that can be added when strengthening the essence of life, turning them into racial talents.

The deficiency that Huang Hong instinctively sensed when he wanted to strengthen his race was precisely a similar additive.

In fact, if Huang Hong had chosen to strengthen himself regardless of the consequences, it would have been possible for him to activate his racial talent by tracing back to his racial origins.

However, the human species is not even a superhuman life form, so theoretically, the possibility of activating racial talents is infinitely close to zero.

However, if you add talent affixes during enhancement, as long as the latter's compatibility isn't ridiculously low, you can directly gain an extra talent, and it's selectable! Selectable!! Selectable!!

All you gaming pros should understand the significance of this "selection" feature.

Huang Hong checked the compatibility between the "Martial Arts Genius" and himself, and perhaps because he had already switched to a fighter, it was as high as 97%!

Martial Arts Genius: A prodigy suited for martial arts cultivation, possessing exceptional martial arts aptitude and comprehension.

Attributes: The experience required to upgrade all martial arts skills is greatly reduced. When training martial arts-related skills and abilities, you will always achieve twice the result with half the effort. You can also accumulate martial arts insights. During training and combat, there is a chance to trigger the "Flash of Inspiration" effect, which has a high probability of greatly increasing martial arts skill experience and martial arts insights, a small probability of optimizing martial arts skill attributes, and a very small probability of upgrading martial arts skill quality. When martial arts insights are accumulated to a certain level, there is a chance to learn new martial arts skills.

After reviewing the attributes of the martial arts genius, Huang Hong sighed inwardly. If this talent were placed in someone from a high-level martial arts world, it could be considered a ladder to heaven.

For him, it perfectly covers all his current needs.

Huang Hong has already examined it carefully. Fighting is the same as martial arts, but martial arts is not just fighting. It can be said that martial arts and fighting are in a superior-inferior relationship.

To Huang Hong's dismay, because of the addition of extra talent affixes, the source energy he needed to enhance his race had doubled, requiring 2000 points.

Of course, that's all. Huang Hong's current life force can only support adding one talent during the enhancement process; he can't handle more than that.

Huang Hong also made some attempts regarding which skills to include. The difference between rare and ordinary quality skills was quite large, and the source energy consumed when upgrading them was much greater, which made his source energy shortage even larger.

But no matter what, as long as he completes this enhancement, his regular strength will increase several times over from its current level!

Gathering his thoughts, Huang Hong focused his attention on the last and most crucial item... the Unknown Token!

At this moment, the unknown token did not appear in Huang Hong's hand, nor was it even a physical object. Instead, it was floating in his mind, and he could see it directly as long as he concentrated his thoughts.

This is a token that is entirely black and about the size of a palm. One side is engraved with some reliefs of life, including devils and demons, full of dark style, like the abyss of hell; the other side is a complex symbol with an ancient aura. Huang Hong is sure that he has never seen this symbol before, but the moment he sees it, he instinctively understands its meaning... Demon!

As Huang Hong focused more and more on the unknown token, his mind seemed to enter into it, and a wider world appeared before him...

Against the backdrop of the boundless void, nine star clusters are arranged, seven of which shimmer with dazzling brilliance, while the last two are dim and lifeless.

Huang Hong was initially at a loss, but after realizing there was no danger, he relaxed and began to try to contact those star systems.

First, there were the two dim and lifeless ones. Huang Hong found that his thoughts were directly repelled. Then there were the ones that shone brightly. This time, although they were not repelled, his thoughts were as if they had sunk into the sea without any reaction.

Until Huang Hong's thoughts touched the sixth star system, the latter suddenly flashed, and then a surging suction force appeared, pulling his thoughts into the vortex.

When Huang Hong came to his senses, he found that the environment had changed again. The sky and earth were a hazy gray, and the ground under his feet was neither gold nor stone, but rather something like a rough keratin.

Not far in front of Huang Hong was a tall figure. He was three meters tall just sitting there, but this huge size was insignificant to him.

If the two powerful figures in the central square are likened to stars in the sky, then the one before us is like the sun that obscures the heavens.

Of course, given Huang Hong's limited understanding of the extraordinary at that time, this analogy was probably inappropriate.

Huang Hong hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to begin.

Just then, the enormous figure moved. He opened his eyes, which seemed to gleam with divine light, and looked at Huang Hong with a strange gaze.

In that instant, Huang Hong's hair stood on end, as if he were prey being watched by a natural enemy. His mind and body stopped functioning, and everything about him was seen through.

As the divine light in the enormous figure's eyes slowly faded, Huang Hong recovered from his dazed state, and at the same time, he heard the former's words:

"I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you. It's just that the difference in our fundamental nature is too great, which means that even in my normal state, without using any supernatural powers, I can easily see through everything about you."

Huang Hong remained silent.

Fear? Anger?

Perhaps, but not strongly.

That's just how the world is; weakness is the original sin.

Even the fact that the other party is able to explain the reasons to him is, to some extent, a sign of goodwill.

Huang Hong could not refuse this kindness!

Huang Hong composed himself and asked, "Excuse me, who are you? And where is this?"

"Don't rush..." The enormous figure smiled and said, "I'm not a mystic. I've brought you here, so I'll explain everything clearly."

"Yes, I'm Ba, you can also call me Brother Ba."

Huang Hong: "...Brother Ba"

Brother Ba nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then I'll start from the beginning..."

"The power I belong to is among the top in countless dimensions, worlds, and planes, and the token in your hand is a qualification of a sequence, representing unparalleled identity, status, power, and resources."

"As for why it ended up in your hands, you should thank... well, or maybe you hate someone. His name is You, and he's the kind of person who, even among billions of races, could be called a genius. Any genius from any other noble group would pale in comparison to him."

"Back then, due to infighting between some factions, my faction almost lost him. At the worst point, he even packed his bags and defected. But this is the kind of person who rose against all odds, slapped the faces of countless old guys, and has now become a true master standing at the top of the masses."

"Because of You's appearance, some old guys changed their mindset and felt that the sequence does not necessarily have to come from those naturally powerful races. The great wave of sifting may reveal the true gold! Thus, the qualification for Paradise World was released this time."

"Well, the old folks probably think that since a member of the lowest-ranking clan can qualify for the sequence, he must possess immense luck, and might just become the next You!"

"The operating mechanism of the amusement park also added more randomness to this experiment."

Seeing that Brother Ba had stopped, Huang Hong asked in confusion, "If that's the case, shouldn't this be a good thing? Why should I hate You?"

"Is this a good thing?" Ba Ge's smile was full of malice as he explained, "You're only qualified now. To truly become a member of the Sequence, you'll need to undergo a brutal trial. Everyone who covets the Sequence qualification will be your mortal enemy. Moreover, this trial isn't an arena, it's not a one-on-one duel, but a battle where everyone gathers together... a bloodbath!"

Huang Hong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked somewhat awkwardly, "Then, what are the strengths of the people participating in the trial? I mean, compared to the two who gave us the qualifications in the Paradise World..."

"You mean those two lowly errand boys?" Brother Ba laughed. "Those kinds of trash don't even qualify to join the trial."

At this moment, Huang Hong's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
