Chapter 949 Potential Activation Potion and the Purchasing Power of the Lords
After redeeming three levels of buff potions: [Elementary], [Intermediate], and [Advanced], the only potion redemption option before Zong Shen was the [Special Gain Potion], which was limited to 15 bottles.
To be honest, the previous potion exchanges did not bring any surprises to Zong Shen.
Healing, temporary buffs, and defensive assistance are common effects among mainstream potions, and there is nothing unusual about them.
Each potion can be considered practical, but it is far from powerful.
Zong Shen’s expectation for potion items lies in the attribute gain effect.
It's not a short-term attribute improvement, but a permanent attribute enhancement!
Although these medicines are rare, they are not unavailable.
It's a pity that the type he wants does not appear in the redemption options of [Elementary Gain Potion], [Intermediate Gain Potion] and [Advanced Gain Potion].
Now Zong Shen can only place his hope on the final redemption option of [Special Grade Gain Potion], hoping that there will be enough potions in this option to attract him!
He doesn't know much about special potions/potions either.
Theoretically, pharmaceuticals of this level already represent the pinnacle level that pharmaceutical science can achieve today.
It’s not that there are no more precious potions, but most of them cannot be mass-produced.
Some are due to the extinction of raw materials, and some are born by accident and do not have the conditions for research.
Therefore, special grade is already the pinnacle of pharmaceutical technology level to a certain extent.
Of course, the cost of medicines of this level is not low, and mass production is unrealistic. The materials used are also relatively precious, and special pharmacists are required to personally produce them.
Zong Shen took advantage of this exchange opportunity to gain knowledge.
See what the special potion has to offer!
Thinking of this, he opened the redemption option for [Special Grade Gain Potion] with a little anticipation. As the interface refreshed, special grade potions available for redemption also appeared.
[Special Magic Awakening Potion (Gold)]
[Quality: Epic]

[The special potential activation potion can only be used once in a lifetime]
[After the potential activation is completed, the upper limit of life span will be reduced by 5 to 10 years. Please use it as appropriate. Taking it when the life span is exhausted may lead to a state of extreme near-death]

[Quality: Epic]

[After taking it, it will produce a negative state of elemental disorder that lasts for three days. It is not recommended for casters to take it.]
[Limited redemption: None]
…
[Special magic replenishing potion (gold)]
[Quality: Epic]
[Effect: Special magic power replenishment (instantly restores 50% of your own upper limit of magic value (maximum not exceeding 10,000 points), and enters the magic power replenishment state at the same time, lasting for 300 seconds, recovering 35 magic points per second)]
[The effect of the special magic replenishing potion cannot be superimposed, but it can be taken again after the duration of the magic replenishing state is over]
[Limited redemption: None]
…
There are a total of five potions in the redemption options of [Special Grade Buff Potion].
Two of the potions have a limited redemption quantity, and the other three can be redeemed in an unlimited amount. Of course, this unlimited amount is also subject to the restriction that the total number of premium potions to be redeemed does not exceed 15 bottles.
Naturally, Zong Shen would not let go of those potions that were limited to a second time.
He first exchanged 3 bottles of [Special Grade Magic Awakening Potion (Gold)] and 1 bottle of [Special Grade Potential Activation Potion (Gold)].
The former can be taken by people without spellcasting talent, allowing them to awaken a type of advanced magic talent with the highest element affinity.
In other words, these 3 bottles of [Special Magic Awakening Potion (Gold)] can guarantee the creation of three high-level mages.
A senior mage is equivalent to a fifth-level spellcaster.
It can be regarded as a consumable talent cultivation potion.
As for the bottle of [Special Potential Activation Potion (Gold)], he planned to take it himself, which could stimulate his own potential and obtain additional attribute improvements.
The above two potions take up 4 bottles of redemption times.
There were 11 bottles of special potion left to redeem, so he chose to redeem 5 bottles of [special dew of life (gold)], 4 bottles of [special magic replenishing potion (gold)] and 2 bottles of [special unstable energy potion (gold)]
.
15,000 challenge points were deducted, and 15 bottles of special potions belonging to him were condensed and floated in front of Zong Shen, waiting for him to collect them.
Among these special potions, [Special Magic Awakening Potion (Gold)] is pure blue, and the liquid inside looks very viscous, without any bubbles.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Special Grade Dew of Life (Gold)] is light pink, a bit like plum wine in a small bottle, while [Special Grade Magic Replenishing Potion (Gold)] is
There are shining light spots inside the light blue interior, which float and sink with the liquid itself.
The most peculiar thing is actually the two bottles of [Super Unstable Energy Potion (Gold)]. The liquid inside is blue-grey, and it gradually changes color over time. They are basically cold-toned and don't look like it.
It looks so delicious.
Zong Shen curled his lips and put away these special potions properly.
As potions, Zong Shen believed that he should not have expectations about their taste.
When the challenge is over, he will distribute all these potions.
Those [Special Grade Dew of Life (Gold)] have a maximum life recovery effect of nearly 100,000 points, and they also have a certain ability to heal broken limb injuries, but each person can only take it once in their lifetime.
If used properly, it is also a life-saving medicine!
Even Zong Shen can use it now and for a long time to come.
When the time comes, give Luna and Vereesa a bottle to prepare.
The future [Special Magic Replenishing Potion (Gold)] also has a very strong magic replenishing effect and can be taken multiple times. However, there are currently no casters in the territory who can use it. If you want to maximize its effect, I am afraid there are only seven.
Only a level 8 magister or a level 8 great magister can do it.
Currently, for spellcasters in the territory, taking [Magic Spring Water] is enough to meet their consumption. If they are fighting in the territory, there are also various magic replenishing buildings, so these [Special Magic Replenishing Potions (Gold)] can be collected for the time being.
.
In the future, when the territory has super powerful spellcasters, it can be used to quickly replenish emergency magic points.
Finally, there are those [Super Unstable Energy Potion (Gold)]. As a special potion with a certain degree of randomness, Zong Shen plans to use it as a "little easter egg". It is suitable for taking when you are deeply surrounded and releasing it randomly.
From a certain perspective, single-target attack magic from levels 1 to 5 can be regarded as increasing its own attack density.
No matter what, it’s a good idea to have two bottles ready in exchange.
He can use it, but he can't live without it.
If you really don’t need it in the future, there’s no problem in selling it.
At this point, all [Buff Potions] have been redeemed.
Zong Shen has consumed a total of 40,600 challenge points, and the current remaining point balance is [3476272] points.
Return to the big option of [General Combat Class].
Next, it’s time to check out the redemption option of [Magic Energy/Rune Alchemy Technology Consumables].
However, when he opened this option and browsed through it for a while, his face became unhappy.
Part of the redemption list in front of Zong Shen showed a gray sold out status.
The three sub-options are:
[Magic Explosives]
【Magic Rune】
【Alchemy Weapon】
The exchange here is limited to all.
There is no limit to the first-level items.
But the second level, third level, fourth level... until the sixth level are all limited.
Moreover, this limited quota is not for individuals, but for all lords.
Due to the reopening, Zong Shen was actually six or seven hours behind other lords. At this time, all the lords’ limited exchange quotas in Mysterious Merchant Alpha had long been exhausted, especially the quotas for second- to fourth-tier items.
All redemptions have been completed.
Only the fifth and sixth levels still have a certain margin.
However, the exchange prices of these two levels are not cheap, and there is no absolute advantage in terms of cost performance, which makes Zong Shen quite unhappy.
As if he noticed Zong Shen's emotional changes, the mysterious businessman Alpha suddenly spoke to comfort him.
"Your situation is quite special..."
"Items like this that are limited to exchange by all lords are limited supplies in themselves. If they arrive too late, they will be gone."
"The number of challenge points you have is huge. Other lords cannot compare with you. However, the cumulative purchasing power of these lords who can enter the Alpha Hall is beyond your reach."
"The most important thing is that these props are very special. They are mostly magic explosives with high damage and wide range, or magic runes and alchemy weapons that can be reused many times. They are not only very helpful for the challenge itself, but also themselves
It is still an item that can be taken out. Even if it is consumed during the challenge, it will be restored after the challenge ends."
"That's why these items are so popular."
"After all, most lords are not as relaxed as you. They can eliminate 99% of the enemies after my arrival. It is not easy for other lords to even find me."
"The main purpose of their participating in this exchange is to survive the challenge, so items like this that can not only help the challenge itself but can also be carried out are inevitable."
"It is precisely because of the significance of this type of items that they are limited to all lords. An appropriate total number of exchanges has been agreed upon, first come first served, so as not to cause serious interference to the challenge data if released in unlimited quantities!"
Alpha's tone was calm and he explained patiently.
It can also be regarded as a way to appease Zong Shen's dissatisfaction.
He could accept this reason, but it was undeniable that Zong Shen did suffer a small loss here.
Originally, with his financial resources, the most suitable items for exchange were those second- to fourth-level magic bombs. Not only were they reasonably priced, they were also powerful and suitable for a wider combat range.
It can be redeemed in large quantities and distributed comprehensively.
Although high-level magic bombs are powerful, the exchange price is not cheap.
For those mid- to low-level swarm enemies, it feels like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
Zong Shen sighed in his heart for a while, collected his emotions, and opened the [Magic Explosives] option again.
Mysterious Merchant Alpha offers a lot of redemption options.
However, there are actually not many types of items that can be exchanged. It is not a "department store" like Zong Shen thought at all. It can only be regarded as a village canteen at best.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are certainly some good products, but they are basically limited edition, and the types provided are also very limited. It is obviously carefully arranged.
In fact, every challenge exchange has obvious traces of arrangement.
Zong Shen knew without even thinking that these were the arrangements of the lord system. It controlled the general direction of the lord's development and would never release items that were too out of line.
I don’t know when exactly the model of arbitrary items and arbitrary exchange will appear.
Expand the exchange list for [Magic Explosives].
[Level 1 Magic Bomb (White)]
[Limited exchange: 0/1000000]
[Exchange points: 50]
【Currently sold out】
…
[Level 2 Magic Bomb (Green)]
[Limited exchange: 0/500000]
[Exchange points: 80]
【Currently sold out】
…
[Level 3 Magic Bomb (Blue)]
[Limited exchange: 0/100000]
[Exchange points: 150]
【Currently sold out】
…
[Level 4 Magic Bomb (Purple)]
[Limited exchange: 0/20000]
[Exchange points: 400]
【Currently sold out】
…
[Level 5 Magic Bomb (Orange)]
[Limited redemption: 372/2000]
[Redeem points: 800]
…
[Level 6 Magic Bomb (Gold)]
[Limited exchange: 113/150]
[Exchange points: 1500]
…
Zong Shen was silent.
"I underestimated the purchasing power and vision of these guys!"
He shook his head and sighed in his heart.
The exchange prices for these [Magic Bombs] are actually not cheap.
Taking the sixth-level [Magic Bomb] as an example, you need to spend 1,500 points to redeem one.
You must know that special-level potions only cost 1,000 points/bottle. From this comparison, you can see that the price of bombs is obviously higher than other consumable props.
Among them, the lord system should take into account the power of [Magic Bomb] and the comprehensive effectiveness of the explosion range in pricing.
Use an overall purchase limit model to prevent such props and items from being redeemed beyond expectations.
Therefore, all Level 1 to Level 4 [Magic Bombs] have been exchanged and are in a sold-out state.
Even the level 5 and level 6 [Magic Bombs] with unit prices of 800 points and 1500 points have been exchanged a lot, which shows how popular these items are here.
The mysterious businessman Alpha is right. Props and items such as [Magic Bomb], [Magic Rune], and [Alchemy Weapon] are extremely cost-effective.
Not only can it directly affect the challenge itself, but it can also help the lords spend the nearly 12 hours after the Alpha Merchant leaves more easily.
Zong Shen's progress is not in line with common sense. Most of the lords have basically only completed at most half of the progress of the defensive challenge when the mysterious merchant Alpha appeared.
The situation is still very serious and cannot be ignored at all.
On the other hand, Zong, when he met the mysterious businessman Alpha, there were less than three thousand dark orcs left in the exclusive defense challenge area.
Before that, he returned to the lord's building and took a nap with Luna for a few hours.
It can be considered that we have entered the final stage of the challenge ahead of schedule.
The resulting difference in mentality is also huge.
For other lords, it is inevitable that this type of props will be popular.
After all, after being redeemed, it can be quickly put to use to help complete defensive challenges and increase the success rate of overcoming challenges.
After the challenge is over, these [Magic Bombs], [Magic Runes] and other props can be restored and used again...
Just like what the mysterious businessman Alpha said, the exchange for such items is very cost-effective, and any lord with some brains will not miss it.
The defensive challenge itself is a screening process.
The lord who was able to find the mysterious businessman Alpha during the challenge was not very stupid and his abilities in all aspects were not bad.
Naturally they won't let these things go.
In this challenge, it is actually more difficult to meet the mysterious businessman Alpha than to meet the mysterious businessman Beta.
Because the time points when the two appear are not consistent.
Alpha will appear on the twelfth hour after the challenge starts.
Beta will appear eighteen hours after the challenge starts.
The appearance time of the two is six hours apart, and the challenge stage of the lord is also very different.
When the mysterious businessman Alpha appears, most of the lords' defensive challenges just enter an anxious state. There are more attacking monsters in the field, and Alpha is less likely to be discovered when he is disguised.
But the mysterious businessman Beta is different. When Beta appears, most of the attacking monsters in the field must have been eliminated according to the stage. At this time, the probability of Beta being discovered in disguise is significantly greater than Alpha.
In other words, finding the mysterious businessman Alpha requires both a certain amount of strength and a certain amount of luck.
Even so, based on the billions of the first batch of lords, the number of lords who can find Alpha is still a huge number.
Another very important point is that most lords are not as poor as Zong Shen imagined.
Lords who can support Alpha and find him basically have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of challenge points. Taking the above two points into account, it is not difficult to understand that this kind of "sweeping goods" situation will occur.
High-level [Magic Bomb] is not cheap, and Zong Shen does not intend to exchange it for too much.
You must know that the points needed to redeem one [Level 6 Magic Bomb] are enough to redeem thirty [Level 1 Magic Bombs].
Just from the explosion power and explosion range of a single bomb, the [Level 6 Magic Bomb] must completely explode the [Level 1 Magic Bomb].
However, for tactical purposes, we cannot simply use levels to measure results.
If faced with a large group of mid- to low-level enemies, thirty [Level 1 Magic Bombs] can definitely achieve more results than one [Level 6 Magic Bomb].
As a "blasting genius" who often plays with [Goblin Bomb] and [Magic Bomb], Zong Shen knows that understanding the meaning of bombs is to tactically clear the ground.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Use large-scale bombing to cause AOC damage.
The effect of a single bomb is extremely limited. Unless it is a special existence among the sixth-level explosives such as [Magic Mountain Bomb], the issue of bombing scale must be considered as much as possible.
The large-scale exchange cost of a low-level [Magic Bomb] is naturally much lower than that of a high-level [Magic Bomb]. This involves the issue of cost-effectiveness.
That’s why Zong Shen doesn’t plan to exchange a large amount of Level 5 and Level 6 [Magic Bombs].
After losing value for money, he might as well save more points and place his hopes on the mysterious businessman Beta.
However, what can be expected is that by the time this defensive challenge is over, the lords will definitely become popular in the pursuit and use of magic explosives.
After concluding this consideration, Zong Shen quickly decided how many [Magic Bombs] he would exchange for.
Based on their power and exchange price, he chose to exchange 50 [Level 5 Magic Bombs] and 20 [Level 6 Magic Bombs], which cost 80,000 points!
After the redemption is completed, the points will be deducted quickly.
His challenge points became [3396272] points.
The space in front of him instantly became a little crowded, and a total of seventy [Magic Bombs] were redeemed and awaited his collection.
In fact, the power of [Magic Bomb] is not as powerful as the [Goblin Bomb] of the same level.
The production principles of the two are roughly the same, but the specific processes and raw materials are slightly different, which results in different powers.
In the Endless Continent, goblins are true experts in playing with explosives. At this point, even the dwarves of the Three Forts who are also proficient in the study of magic gunpowder are inferior.
They are also bombs, and the power of these exchanged [Magic Bombs] can only be considered average. They cannot be compared with the bombs of the Goblin series, let alone the Magic Mountain bombs.
However, these [Magic Bombs] have the function of triggering and detonating remotely.
Each bomb comes with a crystal that can be detonated remotely.
Zong Shen put all fifty [Level 5 Magic Bombs] and twenty [Level 6 Magic Bombs] into the storage compartment in one breath.
Then take out one each for preliminary research and inspection.
As a "blasting genius" and a "little prince of bombs", Mr. Zong is quite interested in these things.
He first took out a [Level 5 Magic Bomb]. Its length is one and a half meters, the diameter of the central cylinder is about sixty centimeters, and the top is a cone-shaped round head. Its appearance is basically the same as the [Goblin Bomb] Zong Shen had obtained before.
】almost.
As a version redeemed from a mysterious merchant, this [Magic Bomb] can be triggered by unscrewing the trigger cap, triggering an explosion through pressure collision, or can be detonated remotely through a dedicated magic crystal.
Generally speaking, the bullet body is relatively flat and smooth, indicating that its production process is not rough. The shiny silver metal material takes into account both toughness and sturdiness. Only traces of riveting can be seen on one side.
This is just an appearance feature, as for the internal craftsmanship, Zong Shen is not sure.
And he has no intention of dismantling the [Magic Bomb] on the spot in the Alpha Mysterious Palace for targeted research.
As the saying goes, there are specializations in the art, and even if you really want to study it, you have to wait until later to hand it over to the goblin senior mechanical engineer Iron Hand Barenque, who will use the equipment in the [Mechanical Workshop] to dismantle and study it.
That guy can even easily dismantle the Dark Goblin's [Eternal Night Type 4 aircraft] and modify the power part, let alone dismantle this mere [Magic Bomb].
After confirming some basic information, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and checked the specific attributes of the [Level 5 Magic Bomb] in front of him.
[Level 5 Magic Bomb (Orange)]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Drop/mana energy remote detonation bomb, which can be triggered by dropping or detonated remotely]
[Maximum detonation distance: 1500 meters]
[Explosion damage: 1200]
[Explosion range: 70 meters]
[Note, the damage of the bomb will ignore the enemy and ourselves]
[Passive skill: Explosion LV15 (causes 3.0 times explosion damage to buildings within range)]
(The power of the classic magic bomb is quite satisfactory, and so are the parameters in all aspects. If placed in the Endless Continent, the power of this magic bomb is closer to the craftsmanship level of the Black Iron Dwarves among the Three Castle Dwarves.
As a large-scale destructive item, the limited exchange quantity of such items is also under the control of the lord system.
Your redemption strategy is wise. It is not appropriate to spend too many points here. After returning to the Endless Continent, little Zongzi, you will have more opportunities to build your own bomb workshop)
…
"It's not bad. With the addition of the ability to detonate remotely, its usage has been broadened a lot."
"It's really quite average in terms of power, but it's not too bad either."
"The explosion damage of 1,200 points, combined with the effect of [Explosion LV15], can cause huge damage to the buildings within the range."
Zong Shen commented secretly in his mind and had preliminary ideas about the future application of this thing.
Putting away the [Level 5 Magic Bomb] with his backhand, Zong Shen then took out another [Level 6 Magic Bomb].
Compared with the [Level 5 Magic Bomb], its size is a bit larger, but other than that, there is no other difference.
The overall appearance is similar, and it is also equipped with a crystal for remote detonation. From a superficial point of view, the difference between the two is actually not big.
Zong Shen quickly skipped the appearance research stage and entered the attribute viewing stage.
Golden subtitles appeared next to the [Level 6 Magic Bomb] along with his thoughts, and the invisible and illusory annotation made it impossible to keep any secrets in front of Zong Shen.
[Level 6 Magic Bomb (Gold)]
[Quality: Epic]
[Drop/mana energy remote detonation bomb, which can be triggered by dropping or detonated remotely]
[Maximum detonation distance: 2500 meters]
[Explosion damage: 2200]
[Explosion range: 100 meters]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Note, the damage of bombs will ignore the enemy and friends]
[Passive skill: Explosion LV20 (causing 5.0 times explosion damage to buildings within the range)]
(Well, I don’t want to say more, this guide is not a chatterbox)
…
The power of this [Level 6 Magic Bomb] is acceptable.
The explosion damage is 2200 points and the explosion range is 100 meters. Compared with the [Goblin Mountain Bomb] of the same level, the gap is quite obvious.
The sixth-level [Goblin Mountain Bomb] has 3500 points of explosion damage and an explosion range of 150 meters, which can be regarded as the leader among bombs.
Zong Shen doesn't expect the [Level 6 Magic Bomb] to be comparable to the [Goblin Magic Mountain Bomb], as long as it remains at a decent level, it's enough.
Putting away this [Level 6 Magic Bomb], Zong Shen felt a little tired.
Now he wants to go out and have a good fight with an opponent to experience the changes brought about by the 1200 strength attribute.
Returning to the upper-level redemption options, Zong Shen chose [Magic Runes] to redeem.
This option also saw massive sellouts.
And not only are the first to fourth levels sold out, but all the fifth and sixth levels have been redeemed...
Because the total exchange amount provided by [Magic Rune] is much less than that of [Magic Bomb] of the same level.
"That's all..."
"I'm not very interested in magic runes anyway."
Zong Shen raised his eyebrows in disinterest.
With the last hope, I opened the exchange option for [Alchemy Weapon].
The new list was quickly refreshed and displayed in front of him.
[Level 2 Magic Energy Smoke Screen (Green)]
[Limited exchange: 0/100000]

…
At the end, Zong Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
At least I still had some good stuff left for him to redeem!
At this time, he can be regarded as thoroughly understanding the strong purchasing power of the "people's masses"!
