Chapter 973: The Unimaginable Clues
Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1
What Sheyan had brought out was the ordinary-looking metal nut which hid a huge secret .
Sheyan placed the metal nut in the aluminum alloy drawer beside him and applied for analysis and appraisal with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel . A buzzing sound arose in the room, like the sound made by a microwave oven . Sheyan closed his eyes and waited patiently for the result .
About five minutes after the buzz, the sound slowly subsided, and a series of reports immediately appeared on the holographic projection in front of Sheyan .
[Analysis and appraisal fees: 2,000 utility points . ]
[The results of analysis and appraisal are as follows:-]
[Composition: Carbon ferroalloy containing 0 . 9% carbon . Nothing out of the ordinary detected . ]
[Design concept: very common . ]
[Application: very common]
[Processing technology: very common . ]
[Special feature(s): not found . ]
Sheyan was naturally shocked when he saw the report . There's no way he would believe that the metal nut was so ordinary . This should not be the result!
"Something must have gone wrong somewhere . "
Sheyan pondered for a while and applied for further appraisal, but this time the cost of appraisal rose to 4,000 utility points . He accepted . The results were the same . Sheyan wouldn't give up and stubbornly continued to apply for appraisals . After the appraisal fee rose to 12,000 utility points, Sheyan finally received this notification:
[Suspicious point: After a 1000x magnification, the letters "S . O . S" could be seen inscribed on the seventh thread of the nut . Who would have sent out such a hasty distress signal in such a way?]
Sheyan almost cursed out loud when he read the notification . Who could have imagined that the nut was just acting as a way of transmitting information like a piece of paper? Who could have thought that it must be magnified by a thousand times before such a bizzare clue could be found?
Sheyan was utterly confused by the mystery surrounding the nut . Even though he was good at deduction, it was impossible to infer any useful information from an ordinary nut and a very common SOS message that could only be seen after the nut was magnified a thousand times . The only clue he had was that the nut was from the the Terminator world . It was an impossible task!
Fortunately, Sheyan received another notification:
[It has been confirmed that this nut was originally made in the Terminator world, and that it contains a strong power of destiny, so you will be able to pay a certain amount of fee to enter the Terminator world to explore its mysteries . You can apply for it when you are able to enter the next world . ]
Sheyan keyed-in his query: "I wish to enter the world with my party . I would also like to know of any consequences from changing the world I enter, or any relevant information . "
The reply was:
[Individual intrusion will cost 5,000 utility points . We have identified your party to be a small high-level Silver party, so a party intrusion will cost 15,000 utility points and 3 achievement points . After you get into the Terminator world, you will explore it the same way you would in a normal entry . However, you will not randomly draw the Terminator world in the next three adventures after this one, nor can you enter the Terminator world via an intrusion in the meantime . There is a certain cooldown period between two intrusion attempts . ]
Next, Sheyan learned that the next world he would enter was the world of Harry Potter . . . . To be honest, that was the world he was most reluctant to touch right now due to the ring on his hand . Therefore, he chose the Terminator world without hesitation .
After much discussion with his teammates, Sheyan was ready to choose his final Golden Side Mission reward . He ruled out the medicine that could directly upgrade a contestant to a Growth Hunter, and the low 20% chance eventually led Sheyan to give up on the Tearstone Solution, which was the most valuable item in the auction house . He was never one to place his faith on luck .
In the end, Sheyan chose the 'Puppet of Photography' because he was someone who lacked effective attacking methods . The item would enrich the tactics he could use on offence . The main negative aspect of the device was the aggro drawn after a failure in taking a photo, but Party Ace with their dual-MT configuration could turn this disadvantage into an advantage .
As the saying goes, it may be difficult to do a good job, but it is quite simple to mess something up . For example, if they were fighting a powerful storyline BOSS and Reef was having difficulty hanging on, Sheyan could take a failure of a photo on purpose and get the boss to attack him instead, so that Reef could take a breather . In addition, Sheyan had a lot of passive abilities such as his diseases and 'Corrosynthesis' that could cause continuous damage to a successful photograph . . . . .
**************
Not much happened after that . The others felt time pass by in the blink of an eye . Only Sheyan had a strange feeling in his heart .
As the first world he entered, the Terminator world held a special significance in Sheyan's heart . He thought back to the last time he entered that world, to his wariness and his panic . Now, he was leading a whole party of unbelievably powerful people into that same world . The strong contrast between the past and the present filled him with melancholy .
