My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 282: The Intermission, and then the Curtain Opens
Industry specializing in surgery.

Nelson explained the meaning of this sentence to Xia Lin.

Just three days later, Nelson came up with dozens of solutions that could meet Xia Lin's needs.

What Xia Lin was most satisfied with was a plan that Nelson called: the boundary outside the boundary.

"The so-called world outside the world is to cultivate an alternative dimension space that is connected to the Endless Abyss but not related to the Abyss Evil God by stealing the power of the Miniature Abyss."

"This plan can meet your two major needs: First, to prevent the evil god of the abyss from looking at you... Although I don't know why you are always afraid of attracting the evil god's attention..."

"Second, it can quickly increase the concentration of demonic energy in this dimensional space by stealing the demonic energy from the abyss."

As a demon warlock, Nelson also has a deep understanding of the concepts of space and dimension.

"There is a third benefit..." Xia Lin added: "Now that I have a large family and a large business, I really need to build a base camp."

Xia Lin was not very reassured about leaving the Border Star battleship and the Bomb Boy Corps in the miniature abyss.

After all, this miniature abyss is still the territory of the Abyss Evil God. Once something goes wrong, it will be too late for Xia Lin to regret.

It is foreseeable that Xia Lin will have more and more bomb boys in his hands in the future.

Therefore, temporarily placing the Border Star battleships and the Bomb Boy Corps in the miniature abyss is only a stopgap measure and not a long-term solution.

In addition to this, there is actually a fourth benefit, but Xia Lin didn't tell Nelson.

This benefit is what Nelson mentioned as “stealing”.

I can steal the power of the Miniature Abyss, which is in turn a derivative of the power of the Evil God of the Abyss.

If you change your way of thinking a little bit and expand your thinking, does this also mean that the Spirit World Book can steal the power of the Evil God of the Abyss through this method?
The deceitful and evil god's ability to change fate is too awesome.

Xia Lin had no choice but to set his sights on the higher-level and more powerful Abyss Evil God...

Uh... When the abyss stares into you, you are also staring into the abyss and drooling.

Xia Lin couldn't help but wipe the corner of his mouth, but heard Nelson change the subject.

"The only problem is that this plan requires huge financial support."

The materials needed to create a dimensional space are ridiculously large, so naturally Xia Lin has to pay for it.

Nelson pulled out a list, and Xia Lin immediately felt a toothache after just a quick look.

Only three types of foundation-level materials are needed, and there are countless other types of low-level materials.

But this matter involves Xia Lin's safety, so it is worth spending any amount of money.

……

"But I don't have much cash...so brother, you have to help me with this."

A day later, Xia Lin found Wang Lie and said this to him.

After not seeing him for a few days, Wang Lie gained weight again, and it seemed that he had found another way to gain weight.

After hearing Xia Lin's words, Wang Lie's fat face suddenly twisted into a bitter look.

"Brother, have you ever heard of these four words, 'poor in literature, rich in martial arts'?"

Xia Lin said that I have indeed heard these four words, but it doesn’t matter.

"I'm not asking you for money! I can earn much more than you on my next trip to the Ember District."

"What I mean is, can you help me find a channel to sell the stolen goods? I have a lot of great treasures that I don't need and can sell for a high price."

Having said that, how could Wang Lie not understand what Xia Lin meant?
"Tokaido?"

Xia Lin clapped his hands and said, "It's Du Hai Tang!"

The military merit exchange office in the former Duhaitang really opened Xia Lin's eyes.

The Sanxiang Gang is a wealthy family with many channels, so Xia Lin can buy everything he needs at Duhaitang in one stop.

No money?

Don't make trouble.

Equipment, props, and God-given source materials, what else could these things be but money?
When Wang Lie heard that he didn't have to offer tribute himself, he immediately smiled.

He grinned and immediately took out the sect's communication jade. After a brief communication, the matter was finalized - the people from Duhaitang would arrive at the City of Origin in three days.

Of course, this requires Xia Lin to use the authority of the Flash Blue Star Sequence One, otherwise Du Hai Tang will not be able to locate the specific location of the Flash Blue Star.

Submit an application to the Cinder System in the name of Sequence One.

After spending all the remaining authority, Xia Lin reluctantly made this happen.

After searching through the tradable items on him, Xia Lin was just thinking about returning to the miniature abyss when Wang Lie called out to Xia Lin again.

"Have you seen Gu Hua recently?"

These words made Xia Lin stunned.

Ever since he entered the miniature abyss, his contact with Gu Hua has indeed decreased a lot. I don’t know what Wang Lie means by mentioning Gu Hua now.

Then Wang Lie sighed and continued.

"Gu Hua hasn't changed his profession yet... He still retains the profession of Limit Breaker. Just a week ago, Gu Hua went to the Dead Wasteland and left only a message saying that he had something to do, and there has been no news since then."

The Wasteland of the Dead... One of the two existing SSS-level disasters on the Blue Planet.

"What is he doing there?"

Xia Lin asked in confusion, but Wang Lie shook his head and couldn't give an answer.

Since it concerned Gu Hua, Xia Lin stopped and sat back next to Wang Lie.

He took out his cell phone and dialed Gu Hua's number, but no one answered. After thinking for a moment, Xia Lin frowned and asked.

"Do you think he has a problem now?"

Wang Lie shook his head: "I don't think there is any problem."

The Limit Breaker is a big pit and a time bomb.

Just because there are no problems now doesn’t mean there will be no problems in the future.

Xia Lin was a little confused...

When the Limit Breaker was bound together with his friend, he couldn't come up with a good solution for a while.

It was Wang Lie who just laughed it off.

"Anyway, I will keep an eye on his affairs, and I will inform you as soon as there is any situation."

"And as an adult, he probably knows what he's doing...right?"

In the last sentence, Wang Lie used a questioning tone.

The Limit Breaker profession is deeply bound to one of the Six Pillars, the Old Ones, and the Six Pillars are above the Will of Heaven...

Some things really are not something that the parties involved can decide.

"The premise is that there is no soul light in the body."

Xia Lin thought of the soul light again.

I suddenly discovered that Gu Hua’s problem seemed to be able to be solved by soul light.

Coincidentally, Xia Lin currently possessed two rays of soul light in his body, and he could easily give one to Gu Hua.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin slapped his head in annoyance.

"I should have done this before, why didn't I think of this?"

After coming out of the January Dream Ashes, Xia Lin had the opportunity to do this.

At that time, he was drinking, chatting and gossiping with Gu Hua.

At the side, Wang Lie said quietly: "You said this is a coincidence. When I saw him, I didn't expect him, and when I thought of him, he disappeared..."

The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

……

Xia Lin personally visited the Wasteland of the Dead.

However, the area of the Wasteland of the Dead is also vast and boundless, and the internal rules are different. Even if Xia Lin is in the Wasteland of the Dead, his life span will be continuously sucked away by the special rules of this disaster.

After wandering around here for three days, Xia Lin still couldn't find any trace of Gu Hua until someone from Duhaitang came.

Left reluctantly.

I randomly found an entrance to the Ashes Zone and entered the City of Origin with Sequence One authority.

At the Origin Square, Xia Lin met the guests from Duhaitang.

The deputy leader of Duhai Hall, an acquaintance, Bai Yao.

"No, Brother Bai, why are you here? There's no need to disturb you with such a small matter!"

Xia Lin hurriedly poured tea, trying to serve the boss comfortably.

Bai Yao's attitude also changed significantly from before.

"Things are different now. Xia Lin, you are a celebrity now."

Xia Lin waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, Brother Bai, you are flattering me... I am just a novice in the novice village, how can I be called a celebrity?"

Bai Yao didn't play tricks on Xia Lin either.

"Gentle is from our Three Phases Gang."

Thinking of the white-haired beauty in the Dream Robbery Zone in January, Xia Lin raised his eyebrows, and saw Bai Yao's strange eyes: "Xiao Wenrou praised you a lot, saying that you are righteous and kind, and have a sense of teamwork..."

Xia Lin: "..."

He did act like that at the time, but Bai Yao knew Xia Lin inside and out, so he naturally knew that this was Xia Lin's disguise.

But I didn't expose it, I just watched it for fun.

Without waiting for Xia Lin to speak again, Bai Yao continued, "In fact, this is just a simple transaction. I don't need to make a trip."

"And the main reason I came here in person this time is for another matter."

"The race ranking battle is about to begin."

The last sentence caused Xia Lin to stop smiling and look serious.

The race ranking battle, this is a big deal.

At present, Xia Lin's level has reached level eight, meeting the standard for participating in the racial sequence war.

With Xia Lin's personality, he would definitely not miss such a grand event.

Perhaps seeing the light flashing in Xia Lin's eyes, Bai Yao took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"I knew you wouldn't back down...but the problem is, if you participate in the race ranking battle, you'll be in big trouble."

Xia Lin and Bai Yao both knew where the trouble lay.

The old dog of heaven will not let Xia Lin go...

This Sixth Pillar had never been very kind-hearted. Even if he didn't care about Xia Lin anymore, many of his subordinates wanted Xia Lin's head in order to please the boss of their own camp - Xu Jie was a vivid example.

It’s okay if you can’t find any trace of Xia Lin at ordinary times.

In the sequence ranking battle, all identities are transparent. How can they not target you, Xia Lin, in this situation?
After thinking about it, Xia Lin suddenly smiled.

“It’s just necessary hard work.”

Bai Yao nodded: "This is a very good mentality."

After saying that, he leaned forward and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the Sanxiang Gang will stand on your side."

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This statement is not entirely true, but it does make sense.

With the combat power shown by Xia Lin, he can probably reach the tail end of the top 100 of the human race sequence. If this kind of combat power is used well, it can also be a bomb card in the novice village of the Jhin area.

As the saying goes, love between a man and a concubine...

Bai Yao wants to win over Xia Lin, but Xia Lin is no longer as unruly as he used to be and doesn't care about the pros and cons.

In just a few words, the verbal intention was reached. There were no specific terms, but that was not a big problem.

"Next, I'll have to trouble Brother Bai Yao to help me estimate the value of these sundries of mine."

Xia Lin took out a large number of props and placed them in front of Bai Yao.

……

In January, the Dream Robbery Zone looted Asgard.

The Black Flag Cinders area has been scraping the land for more than two months.

Not counting the good stuff that is useful to Xia Lin, Xia Lin already has too many miscellaneous items.

Some props with conflicting functions or that could not be used - even some foundation-level props - were all placed in front of Bai Yao. Bai Yao took a quick look, chuckled and shook his head.

"Forget it, just consider it as making friends."

Bai Yao even looked down upon the miscellaneous items that Xia Lin didn't need.

Calculated by market price, the total value of these things is much cheaper than what Xia Lin needs, but if calculated by purchase price, Duhaitang is not losing money.

Xia Lin laughed: "We are friends, aren't we?"

Bai Yao smiled and nodded, then handed over a storage ring: "Everything you need is here, check it yourself to see if there is anything wrong."

Xia Lin took the storage ring and did a quick count to confirm that everything was correct. Thus, the deal was done.

After spending another day drinking with Bai Yao in the City of Origin, Bai Yao left the next day. Xia Lin told Wang Lie to pay attention to Gu Hua's movements, and then immediately returned to the Miniature Abyss to deliver what Nelson needed.

Thus, this so-called world outside the world plan was officially launched.

……

Because of the contractual restrictions, Xia Lin was not afraid that Nelson would do something bad to him.

In addition, he really didn't understand things like opening up new dimensions, so the Beyond World Project was completely led by Nelson, and Xia Lin just sat back and did nothing.

But there was no waste of time, instead they created more legions of Bomb Boys in the miniature abyss.

——No matter how much the soldier hiding cave consumes, the capacity of this thing is really large. The current Border Star warships and the Bomb Boy Corps are not enough to fill the space of the soldier hiding cave.

The first task is to fill up the soldier hiding cave first.

When you go to the Jhin area in the future, you can just wave your hand and a large group of satellite-sized bomb guys will appear... It’s exciting just to think about it.

Time passes quietly in the busyness.

A month later, the Outer World Plan had not yet been completed, and it was time for Xia Lin and Nelson to enter the Cinders.

Along with it, there is another hint about the Ashes area.

……

[It is detected that your level has reached level eight. 】

[It is detected that the race ranking battle is about to begin. 】

[You will automatically be eligible to participate in the Human Race Ranked Battle. ]

[Your next Ember Zone will be the Human Ordinal War Trial Ember Zone. The mission types and Ember Zone properties will be different from regular Ember Zones.]

[You can choose not to participate in the race ranking battle. ]

Canberra gathering place, in front of the entrance to the Ashes.

When Xia Lin reached out and touched the entrance to the Ashen Zone, he got the Ashen Zone system prompt sound.

This made Xia Lin withdraw his hand and look at Nelson who had also withdrawn his hand.

"You got the hint too?"

Nelson nodded: "Indeed, and considering the time, it is probably time for the racial sequence war to begin."

Unlike a single planet serial war, there are traces to follow.

There is no rule as to when the racial sequence war will begin.

As a veteran walker in the Ashes, Nelson has a general understanding of the rules for launching racial sequence wars.

"You can also think of it as a premonition, although it's useless..."

Having said this, Nelson continued to add without waiting for Xia Lin to ask.

"Unlike the single-star sequence battle, because there are too many Ember Walkers of a race, each race sequence battle is very long. The audition stage alone will last for twelve Ember periods."

Twelve ember zone periods equal a whole year.

"During the audition stage, the Jhin Walkers will not be summoned. Instead, the audition stage will be held in the Jhin."

As Nelson continued to tell the story, Xia Lin gradually gained a certain understanding of the racial ranking battle.

After saying this, Nelson sighed with exhaustion.

Because Nelson lost half of his racial value and basic attributes in the last Jhin zone, he lost his competitiveness.

However, because the entire race sequence war process is very long, the Ash Walker can further improve his strength during this process, which means that Nelson has not completely given up on this human sequence war.

It's just that it's more difficult.

"Besides, we can't form a team during the preliminary round of the race sequence war. I think we may have to separate for a while."

Nelson said this and Xia Lin shrugged.

"It's a pity, but it's not a big problem."

Nelson is a good helper. Originally, Xia Lin wanted to enter the Ashes Zone with Nelson, but now that the race sequence war is coming, this idea is naturally not possible.

Reach out and touch the entrance to the Ash Zone.

Accompanied by the familiar feeling of dizziness, the next second, Xia Lin appeared in the pre-war preparation space.

……

In the pre-war preparation space that looked like the vast starry sky, Xia Lin heard the reminder sound of [Unstable Mutation Taking Effect].

After a quick look, there were no decent mutation skills, so I chose not to keep any of them.

Just after Xia Lin made his choice, the pre-war preparation space did not collapse. Instead, a new prompt sound suddenly rang out, like a divine voice, whistling from the depths of the starry sky with a heavy breath of vicissitudes.

【Welcome to the Human Race Ranked Battle Qualifying Stage! 】

[The rules for the current Human Race Ranking Battle and the audition stage are now announced. 】

According to Nelson, the rules of each racial ranking battle are different, and the only thing that can be determined is the top 100 ranking.

This battle for the top 100 is similar to the single-zone planetary sequence battle - because it is the fairest and can best test the relationship between the strong and the weak.

During the audition stage, there may be some strange and bizarre rules that do not simply test the absolute strength of the Ember Walkers, but test the overall quality of the contestants, and even their luck...

Well, intelligence, charm, means and luck are also part of strength, there is nothing wrong with that.

Putting these thoughts aside, Xia Lin continued to listen to the prompt sound coming from deep space.

[Keywords for this audition: points.]

[You need to accumulate enough points in the twelve Ember Zone periods to purchase the Qualifier Qualification Certificate. In addition, you can also earn more points in the Ember Zone to purchase more valuable rewards. ]

A light suddenly burst out from the depths of the starry sky.

A huge curtain appeared out of nowhere, clearly stating the various rewards that could be purchased with points.

The top and most eye-catching one is naturally the preliminary qualification certificate: a full 1 points.

The difficulty of obtaining points is not known yet, so Xia Lin is not sure about the number 1.

He just lowered his eyes and quickly took a breath.

He saw that the foundation-level skills only required 100-1000 points.

It only takes 50 points to see the God-given Essence.

I saw various foundation-level props and equipment, and the prices varied according to their functions, but none of them exceeded 1 yuan.

I even saw a few reward items that didn't have any name or level, just a series of ???

There are three such reward items, all priced at more than 100,000 points...

Without much thought, Xia Lin made a judgment in his mind.

"Six-pillar level..."

The treasure was personally refined by the Six Pillars. It has a deep connection with the Six Pillars and possesses the power of the Six Pillars. Hence, it has the Six Pillars level.

This reward redemption table actually confirms what Nelson said before.

——Even without talking about the authority and glory of the human race sequence, just talking about the rewards in the preliminary audition stage is enough to move people.

After a few minutes, the redemption form gradually faded and eventually disappeared.

However, the pre-war preparation space still did not collapse, and a new round of system prompts from the Ashen Zone followed.

[Random matching in the audition battlefield...]

【Matching completed! 】

[Battlefield No. 589340, including level and above Ash Zone Walkers, people.]

[Please vote for the mission type, Ashland Walkers.]

[Type selection is as follows:]

[1: Battle Royale. ]

【2: Teamwork. 】

【Three: Team confrontation. 】

Vote for the mission type...

This was new, and Xia Lin admitted that he had never seen it before.

However, the sequence ranking battle is not a simple test of individual strength, but a test of comprehensive quality. Therefore, some new things often emerge in the race sequence ranking battle.

Xia Lin voted for one option without saying anything.

The logic is simple, he is confident in his own abilities.

The two copies of January Dream Tribulation and Black Flag have allowed Xia Lin to anchor his own strength - his hard power is that he can reach the tail end of the top 100 of the human race sequence.

This must be rare among the walkers in the Ashes.

At present, the random matching has reached six digits. Xia Lin does not believe that among the 99 Ash Zone Walkers competing with him in this round, there is someone with similar strength to him or even stronger than him.

The probability is too small...

So pick one and go for it.

However, in this kind of voting process, no matter how strong you are in the Jhin system, you only have the power of one vote.

Right under Xia Lin's nose, the votes for the three options were added up one after another, and the difference was difficult to see until the last moment.

About a minute later, the voting ended.

[Mission type confirmed: Battle Royale! ]

This is exactly what Xia Lin wanted!

But it makes sense when you think about it.

They are all level 8 Cinder Walkers, not novices, and those who come to participate in the auditions must be somewhat confident in their own abilities.

However, cooperating with unfamiliar Ash Walkers is risky, so it would be better to have a fun battle royale and see who's the real deal.

Just three seconds after the Ashes system announced the voting results, the pre-war preparation space suddenly collapsed.

Xia Lin's eyes blurred and he found himself in a lush jungle.

Then he felt his body sink.
