Chapter 224: Chapter 189: Drawing a Mallet and Another Wave of Newbies (2)
As Lin Qi called out to stop in his heart, the huge wheel suddenly came to a halt, and the thin red pointer stopped predictably in the white section.
System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a one-star reward, a pear.
"A pear?"
Lin Qi looked at the pear rewarded in the system’s storage warehouse and was stunned for a moment.
"Could it really be just a pear?" Unable to resist, Lin Qi chose to take it out.
Suddenly, in Lin Qi’s hand appeared a pear, the size of a fist, with a rich fragrance, indistinguishable from the pears on Blue Star.
"Exchanging a thousand people for just this one item?" Lin Qi looked at the pear in his hand, momentarily speechless.
Although he had long guessed that a one-star reward wouldn’t be anything good, he hadn’t expected it to be just a pear.
"Wait, why does this thing have an attribute box?"
Just as Lin Qi was about to toss it on the table as tomorrow’s breakfast, he noticed a small system attribute box appear above the pear.
Vitality Pear: After eating it, mental activity increases by 50%, lasting for two hours.
"Oh my gosh! It’s really a pear with attributes." Looking at the vitality pear in his hand, Lin Qi suddenly felt that the martial arts hall’s reward wheel wasn’t entirely useless.
An increase of 50% in mental activity, for anyone wanting to learn or create something, the effect is absolutely astonishing, akin to an inspiration burst.
If sold to players creating Martial Arts, it could help them create new Martial Arts faster, and if sold to locals of this world, their learning ability would skyrocket.
But exchanging a thousand people for one, the cost is indeed a bit high.
Lin Qi quickly spun the wheel again, predictably landing on a one-star reward.
System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a one-star reward, a watermelon.
"Another watermelon this time?" Lin Qi took out a watermelon the size of a basketball and examined it closely.
Qi Blood Watermelon: Eating one-eighth increases qi and blood limit by 30%, lasting for six hours.
"This qi blood watermelon is quite suitable for people looking to break through."
Looking at the 30% increase in qi and blood limit, Lin Qi realized it was perfect for those lacking qi and blood, aiding in breakthroughs.
Many times, breakthroughs for Martial Artists are hindered by insufficient qi and blood, so the younger they are, the better for breakthroughs. As one ages, past thirty is the peak, and thereafter, with qi and blood waning annually, breakthroughs become increasingly difficult.
The qi blood watermelon can precisely supplement this lack, potentially restoring qi and blood to peak levels for anyone not in their seventies or eighties.
Lin Qi then put away the qi blood watermelon, planning to use it later to nurture locals with declining qi and blood, such as Meng Wei, though it wasn’t appropriate to give it just yet, especially since a qi blood watermelon could serve eight people. He could observe for a while longer to see who else might be suited for cultivation.
"Last chance."
Lin Qi chose to spin the wheel again.
Boom!
With a deafening roar in his mind, Lin Qi felt as if his head was about to explode, with a constant buzzing sound.
System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a three-star reward, a mallet.
"Is this what they call a miracle from a single draw?"
Lin Qi looked at the system prompt, utterly stunned.
He hadn’t expected his luck to be so good, hitting a 0.9% chance.
However, when Lin Qi saw the mallet rewarded in the system’s storage warehouse, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The system had indeed rewarded him with a mallet, 1.5 meters long, a massive mallet, completely black, made of unknown metal, covered in spikes, resembling a mace.
If he walked out holding this, he’d undoubtedly be the coolest guy on the street, with a 100% head-turn rate.
And the mallet truly lived up to the name of a three-star reward, with blue quality, bringing along two attributes.
Attribute One: Basic great power, significantly enhancing strength when used.
Attribute Two: Basic power boost, significantly enhancing power when used.
With these two attributes alone, probably no one could refuse.
Lin Qi then took the mallet out of the system’s storage warehouse, and suddenly in his hand was a mace, over half a person’s height, completely black, with many spikes.
With a single-handed swing, he whipped up a storm in the basic training room, knocking down the distant basic combat puppets.
"A bit heavy, but still usable."
Looking at the mace in his hand, Lin Qi found it was actually quite practical, especially since he had already given the B4 grade longsword to Ye Qinglu and was in need of a high-tier weapon.
Just as Lin Qi was about to test the mace’s specific effects, the system prompt sounded again.
System: Congratulations to the host for successful fusion, mastering high-tier Martial Artist level Martial Arts, Astounding Flight, automatically reaching the realm of perfection.
A flood of memories surged into Lin Qi’s brain, lasting a full three minutes before subsiding, allowing him to breathe normally.
"So strong! This perfected Astounding Flight is truly powerful!"
After assimilating the complete memory and experience, Lin Qi even forgot the headache that hadn’t yet faded, his eyes filled with joy and shock.
The high-tier Martial Artist level Martial Art, Astounding Flight, could be said to combine all the strengths of three Martial Arts. It not only allows one to walk on air but also offers speed as swift as Sword Step and the variability of Cloud-Soaring Step’s explosive step techniques. In the moment of an explosion, speed can double.
For him personally, it was like covering 120 meters in one second, akin to teleportation.
But the most impressive part is the realm of perfection’s effect. It’s no longer just a permanent 15% speed increase and 10% body reaction speed increase buff, but the formation of a skill-like phenomena.
Once used, you can cover 100 meters instantaneously, but there are significant side effects. Once used, Astounding Flight can’t be used again in a short period.
But even so, such a skill is practically a minor divine skill.
Whether for ambushes or dodging danger at critical moments, it has great utility.
"Let’s just call this skill Flash Step." Lin Qi looked at the attribute panel, where the high-tier Martial Artist level Martial Arts, Astounding Flight, had appeared again, feeling quite happy.
This time, not only was the Martial Arts fusion successful, but he also had a dual-attribute mallet in hand, ensuring more security for his upcoming frontline adventure.
"This basic great power’s strength boost is at least 50%, the effect is simply incredible. Looks like I need to keep recruiting Martial Arts Academy Disciples, and figure out ways to recruit more in the future."
Lin Qi swung the mallet a few more times, feeling its high strength augmentation. The martial arts hall’s reward wheel’s prizes were far from negligible.
On the contrary, the martial arts hall’s reward wheel played a significant role.
"However, recruiting more people to become Martial Arts Academy Disciples is a challenge itself."
Lin Qi contemplated that Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall currently controlled only three territories. To significantly increase the number of disciples, he’d have to boost fame, finding ways to involve other races besides the Human Race, in order to significantly increase the disciples at the Martial Arts Hall.
"Seems like I can only start with the players."
Lin Qi thought for a moment. To increase the martial arts hall’s influence, he could only have players spread the word to gain credibility.
Time passed.
At midnight, in the underground confinement room of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
A large number of players suddenly appeared in the confinement room, instantly filling it completely with players.
