A 99% purity Elementalist Awakening Serum has an extremely high chance for the user to awaken to powerful or rare elements, like Lightning, Fire, Wind, Metal or Dark.

Or a 99% purity G.o.d’s Chosen Awakening Serum will almost guarantee that users will receive an attack-type G.o.d’s Chosen Skill ———-G.o.d’s Chosen Skills are known to be random and varied, so being able to limit the awakening to just attack skills is already a very valuable thing.

As for the Martial Potential Enhancing Serums, they grant the user a chance to directly manifest a Thaumaturgy right after they use it and become a Professionist.

Such powerful side effects are the main characteristics of a 99% purity Genetic Modification Serum.

But to produce such a single vial of them require not only extremely rare and valuable ingredients, but also a certain factor of luck.

It takes a few thousand tries to get a single success.

Thanks to that, even the three large countries very rarely attempt to produce them anymore.

Unless the f.u.xi Empire has a new prince, or the Holy Church welcomes a new Holy Apostle, or one of the 9 Lords of the Confederate has a talented first-born son and they’re willing to spend a fortune on him.

The recipes for the three types of Serums are national treasures, heavily guarded secrets that are hidden in the deepest and darkest hidden locations, or in the hands of the most powerful and influential people.

The Martial Potential Enhancing Serum is guarded by Impartial G.o.ddess; the Elementalist Awakening Serum recipe lies in the hands of the f.u.xi Emperor; as for the G.o.d’s Chosen Awakening Serum, there has been no news of it after the Holy Empire split into factions.

Rumors say the Holy Church has it, but it’s not very believable.

Because if they really have it, they would’ve openly admitted and spread the news to further solidify their reign.

Gu Qing Shan thought for a while then shook his head.

The hardest part of this Thaumaturgy Quest is that the G.o.d’s Chosen Awakening Serum and Elementalist Awakening Serums belong to the other two large countries.

Their recipes are top-secret, held by f.u.xi Empire’s and Orlank Holy Empire’s royal families.

The Quest is way too hard.

But “Smiting” is such an effective tool for battle that he can’t just leave it there without minding it.

Not to mention, he won’t be able to get the Thaumaturgy for Golden Core realm unless he finishes evolving “Smiting” first.

He has to think of a way, even if there aren’t any.

As for the Martial Potential Enhancing Serum…

“Impartial G.o.ddess”

[I’m here, what do you need sir?]

“What do I need to do if I want to get a 99% purity Martial Potential Enhancing Serum?”

[As a Highest Leader of the Confederate, sir Gu Qing Shan will need to pay with half of his Merit]

Gu Qing Shan breathed out in relief.

He doesn’t mind paying for it in Merit, as long as he can get the Martial Potential Enhancing Serum as a starting point.

“Then please deduct from it and help me get a vial of Martial Potential Enhancing Serum”

[Highest quality Martial Potential Enhancing Serum requires immediate injection after production. Current remaining stock: 0]

[Production will begin in 15 minutes, requesting sir Gu Qing Shan to remain and wait patiently]

“That’s fine, I’ve troubled you”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan already began to think about the other 2 Serums.

The Martial Potential Enhancing Serum is the easiest to get.

But how is he going to go about getting the G.o.d’s Chosen Awakening Serum and the Elementalist Awakening Serum?

Sighing, he started to walk down the mountain towards the mansion.

When Gu Qing Shan returned to the mansion, Zhang Ying Hao still hasn’t returned, while a calming, satisfied snore was heard from Liao Xing’s room.

Ye Fei Li was still playing his game.

When Gu Qing Shan went in, Ye Fei Li turned around to glance at him.

Then did a double take .

This time Ye Fei Li didn’t even move his eyes away.

Turning off the game, he stood up and looked at Gu Qing Shan from top to bottom.

“You’ve become stronger again” Ye Fei Li said, “this is so unbelievable ——-seriously, which one of us is the Man Killer Fiend here?”

“It’s probably because I’m hard-working” Gu Qing Shan answered, “I don’t think I’ve truly rested at all”

Ye Fei Li just stared at him in silence, then suddenly said: “Impartial G.o.ddess, where are you?”

[I’m here, Mr. Ye Fei Li]

“Find me a few Man Killer Fiends, I want to be hard-working for a bit as well”

[Very well, I’ve already finished compiling the necessary data. Since you were at an important point in ranking up in the game, I didn’t disturb you]

“I’m more interested in ranking up in real life” Ye Fei Li exclaimed.

Taking his Holo-Brain, he started to leave.

Suddenly, an old voice was heard.

『 People of the world 』

『 The Apocalypse has come, calamities erupting all over the world, your fate is no better than

an ant in a tsunami. Insignificantly small and not in your control 』

『 Do you want to change your fate? 』

『 Struggle, keep on moving forward among the

bloodshed, as only the strong has the right to survive 』

『 If you wish to become eternal, then challenge it. Once you succeed, you shall gain eternal life itself! 』

『 The second Game of Eternal, will now accept your entrance! 』

As soon as he finished, a large line of text popped up in front of every person in the world.

[Do you want to sign up

to gain eternal life?]

[Yes][No]

Ye Fei Li and Gu Qing Shan’s faces changed.

Ye Fei Li commented: “That can’t be right, it’s not time yet”

Gu Qing Shan quickly asked: “Impartial G.o.ddess, how much time has pa.s.sed since the last Game of Eternal?”

[12 hours and 8 minutes, sir] Impartial G.o.ddess answered.

”Only half the time has pa.s.sed and it already couldn’t wait to open the challenge again. So it wants to cheat huh?” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

“Impartial G.o.ddess, broadcast the last footage of the Murder Clown yesterday across the world again”

[Understood]

Two seconds later.

All the Holo-Brains in the world lit up at the same time.

The Murder Clown peeked out from behind Li Hai’s severed head, showing its cold and stiff smile.

[…anyone that enters the Game of Eternal will have but a single fate, and that is ———DEATH!] the Clown excitedly declared.

The planet fell silent.

“That’s right, let me see who still dares ——“ Ye Fei Li coldly laughed.

But before he could even finish, the old voice was suddenly heard again.

The Game of Eternal has replied specifically to the Murder Clown.

『 Humans of the world, against the threat of death, you all are still so weak 』

『 The cruel and malicious minions of evil want to stop you from obtaining your deserved eternal life 』

『 But I have good news for you all 』

『 In consideration of our player’s safety, we have created the game’s limited edition! 』

『 In today’s Game of Eternal, you shall all receive the Masquerade ball effect 』

『 Every partic.i.p.ant that enters the arena will wear a random mask, that way, no one shall recognize who you are 』

『 And no one shall know where you’re from 』

『 Even your voice shall be altered 』

『 Our announcer will also not speak your name 』

『 After the compet.i.tion, we shall randomly transport our winner to a random, safe location on the planet 』

『 Be a.s.sured and enter our Masquerade ball, as no one shall recognize your true face, nor will they know on which corner of the world you shall appear 』

『 ——–even the clown, shall have no way to find out anything about you 』

『 This will be an extremely safe venture 』

『 The winner of this round shall receive eternal life, as well as never-before-seen rewards 』

『 Thus, the game shall begin accepting your partic.i.p.ation! 』

A few seconds later.

The first person appeared on the arena.

As soon as he appeared, he hurriedly touched his face with his hand.

Sure enough, he was already wearing a goat mask with horns at the forehead.
