Chapter 47 This is a windfall!
[Event Update: Ningcheng Secret Realm Opens]
The tide that is about to surge in Ningcheng, the harbingers of its arrival... Is this a test, or a premonition?
The following are the activities and locations included in this Ningcheng Secret Realm series of events.
Looking at the announcement panel that appeared in front of him, Lin Wu's eyes lit up slightly, and then he looked down.
Sure enough, the Ningcheng Secret Realm content appeared... and unsurprisingly, the Ningcheng Secret Realm was one of the contents announced in last Sunday's update preview!
With that in mind, Lin Wu began to carefully study the specific details of the activity.
[Event 1: The Beastmaster Association's Desire]
What caused this secret realm to appear? What is the situation inside? Was it caused by human intervention?
Explore the secret realm diligently, and report your findings to the Beastmaster Association afterward to earn generous rewards!
Rewards include currency, skill stones, materials, etc.
【Event Two: Shadowy Realm】
[Many adorable shadowy figures exist within the secret realm. Try trading with them, but please be careful not to attack them, otherwise they will reveal their terrifying side.]
[By earning Eco Coins through other activities within the Secret Realm, you can trade with the Shadows to obtain a large number of materials and items, including items related to Bloodline Infusion, Talent Awakening, and more.]
[Activity 3: Ecological Showdown]
At various points within the secret realm, you can encounter special spirits or Beastmasters. Try battling them to earn lots of Eco Coins!
Defeating spirits will earn you a small amount of Eco Coins, while battling Beastmasters will allow you to steal their Eco Coins.
[Activity Four: Ecological Fragments]
[For all players eager to evolve, this time the Ecosystem offers a large number of Ecosystem Fragments for acquisition. Welcome to collect them to obtain higher-level advanced evolutions.]
【…】
Lin Wu scrolled down and found mostly mini-games for earning Eco Coins. Aside from the Secret Realm, none of the other activities seemed particularly useful to him for the time being.
Watching these activities, Lin Wu let out a soft breath, secretly delighted.
This time, it's all about intelligence advantage.
Through the explanation in the announcement, Lin Wu discovered that he had actually managed to piece together the basic mechanics of the secret realm.
"Do you earn a special currency through battles and other means, and then use that currency to acquire resources?"
"How to deal with the encroachment of the ecosystem is currently unknown... but if nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely that it will also be related to the ecosystem coin."
"The ecosystem coin should be the core mechanism of this secret realm."
Lin Wu thought to himself.
After reviewing the material for a while, Lin Wu also learned some basic information about the secret realm.
In fact, secret realms are not that rare across the entire Eastern Federation. Ecological collapse can usually occur due to the death of a powerful elf or beastmaster. Some powerful elves and beastmasters can even create secret realms on their own.
As for Jianghai Province, after the beast tide, the secret realms stopped appearing mysteriously, leading more than one person to suspect something was amiss. It was precisely for this reason that the sudden appearance of this secret realm triggered a reactive response from the Beast Tamer Association.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the level restrictions imposed on those entering this secret realm, those currently participating in the preliminary selection would probably be at least master level.
Generally speaking, the secret realms that are created will have corresponding core mechanisms based on the existence that generated them.
On the way to the preliminary selection, Lin Wu even found some information. In one of the secret realms, everyone had even fought the Holy Grail War... This time, the ecological currency mechanism seems simple and easy to understand.
"In other words, you need to fight more."
After making this judgment, Lin Wu suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Hmm... This doesn't seem to be particularly advantageous for me.
While the psychedelic bug battles are disgusting, their speed in clearing wild monsters is rather slow. As for your Uncle Ghost Bone Dragon, due to the fact that dragons don't obey commands, it's somewhat unreliable and not very efficient.
After thinking about this, Lin Wu pondered for a moment and then made a decision with pleasure.
Hmm, let Bai Miaomiao think of a solution.
Since Professor Bai has said to ask Bai Miaomiao for help, let's see if she has any ideas.
If all else fails... there's always Ai Mu, isn't there?
For a moment, remembering that even the Ghost Bone Dragon acknowledged that power, Lin Wu had a thought in mind, wondering if there was a chance to drag her over to see her remaining value.
However, we'll have to wait until the secret realm opens the day after tomorrow to discuss that.
Lin Wu let out a soft breath, flipped through the announcement again, memorized its contents, and headed straight back.
So now, let's prepare for the secret realm.
........................
Soon, Lin Wu, who had left the audition site, found Bai Su and Bai Miaomiao at Bai Miaomiao's home.
At this moment, Bai Su was calmly drinking tea in the living room, while Bai Miaomiao sat opposite Bai Su with a sweet and obedient smile on her face. It was obvious that she had been too pretentious before and was now feeling guilty in front of her aunt.
When Bai Su saw Lin Wu walk in, she didn't ask about the results of the preliminary selection, but simply pointed to a package on the table.
"Take it."
She spoke succinctly, and Lin Wu curiously picked up the package, looked it over, and prepared to open it.
Only then did Bai Su's last words reach his ears:
"Inside is a bank card with a six-one PIN. Remember to change it yourself. It contains a total of four million."
"Besides that, there's an encyclopedia entry, the latest model. You can scan most of the beginner and advanced Pokémon you encounter, which will provide you with some information to help you enter the secret realm. Then there's a meditation stone, which can double the effect of meditation techniques and helps with the recovery and enhancement of mental energy. Since you're going to enter the secret realm to train the Qingyuan Meditation Technique, I'm giving it to you."
"With the help of this meditation stone, barring any unforeseen circumstances, after leaving this secret realm, your mental strength will be able to advance to the professional level, and the Beast Taming Space will also undergo special changes, thus far exceeding the special characteristics of ordinary professional-level Beast Tamers."
Upon hearing this long string of words, Lin Wu's hand trembled for a moment as she opened the package. Then, she looked up at Bai Su with trembling hands.
But Bai Su just sipped her tea calmly, looking like she was making a fuss over nothing, which almost made Lin Wu feel like he was about to die.
Four million is not much to say. Lin Wu had seen these encyclopedias before. The cheaper ones were almost useless, while the latest models had extremely exaggerated functions and were comprehensive in their collection. A single one could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. He didn't know the price of meditation stones, but he figured they were definitely not cheap either...
Giving so much, is this trip to the secret realm going to be our last meal before we're all gone?
Bai Su glanced at Lin Wu and saw his nervous and anxious expression, and couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
"You have officially passed the first test."
She said calmly, "These should have been given to you before you went to the Tide Competition, but the encyclopedia entry was a bit slow, so it was postponed until today."
"The meditation method I gave you last time was actually to see if you had the potential to accept investment. That time, it was called signing a contract, but in reality, it was closer to a test. Only after you passed would the investment officially begin... My original plan was that you could understand and learn it, and you wouldn't need to start practicing. However, you exceeded my expectations in the end."
After Bai Su finished speaking to Lin Wu, she gave a smile.
"In other words, you have completed the pre-investment test, and now the investment officially begins."
"You can ask me for the money if you run out. As for other resources, I will provide you with the resources needed for the next stage of practice after you have completed your regular phase goals."
"Alright, take this money and go prepare for the secret realm. After you come out of the secret realm, we will begin the next stage of training."
Bai Su waved to Lin Wu and stood up, saying, "You two chat from now on, I'm leaving first."
Watching Bai Su's departing figure, Lin Wu looked down at the package in her arms and suddenly felt it become very heavy.
So much money...so much money...so much money...
It wasn't until quite a while later that Lin Wu realized what the important matter at hand was and looked at Bai Miaomiao.
"Phew... Auntie's finally gone."
Bai Miaomiao let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and felt a pang of guilt.
If she didn't leave soon, she was really worried that her aunt would find out about her slacking off all this time...
But the next moment, suddenly, Bai Miaomiao's vision blurred.
Immediately, she saw Lin Wu appear in front of her in a flash. After a moment of stunned silence, she heard Lin Wu speak in a booming voice:
"Sister Bai, take me to the secret realm!"
