From Prisoner to Si Chen

Jilan sat cross-legged on a big red rock in the wilderness, expressionless, eyes shining.

After consuming a full 2,000 points of mysterious energy, "Colorful" opened fire and continued to deduce.

The three 5th-level secrets and four 4th-level secrets that were previously "fed" to it were all transformed into nutrients in the form of reference materials.

Among them, the spiral of the furnace sword and the 5th-level "light" of the February "director" path are the core keys of deduction and reference, as a breeding ground for the 5th-level new essence of the player path.

Time flew by.

For a while.

Jilan closed his eyes and opened them again.

The colorful light in his eyes disappeared.

"Huh..." He let out a long breath and then showed a satisfied smile. "Finally deduced it!"

The 5th-level new essence of the player path-

called "Panel"!

The ability of this essence is extremely special, completely different from the 5th level of any path.

Like "anchor" and "player", it also has three abilities.

One is "attribute improvement".

You can directly use the mysterious points to add points to your physical fitness and instantly gain more powerful strength.

This ability can directly strengthen yourself without the help of cultivation methods such as body forging and meditation. Of course, this will consume more energy. In comparison, it is more suitable to add points after the method is cultivated to the extreme.

Second, it is "difficulty adjustment".

The "difficulty" of a battle can be increased or decreased.

If it is increased, various restrictions will be imposed on oneself. Jilan really can't think of any benefit of doing this...

On the other hand, if the difficulty is reduced, Jilan will get the assistance of mysterious power, such as highlight prompts, weak point flashes, detailed explanations of tricks and bullet time, etc.

Jilan was dumbfounded.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this is worthy of being a player's path... As a player in the game, the "panel" is an indispensable module.

Although the ability of "difficulty adjustment" cannot directly improve his combat effectiveness, it weakens the enemy in disguise.

In general, it will greatly improve his actual combat ability.

Third, it is called "Environmental Settings".

This ability is derived from the fifth-level "Lighting" of the "Director" path.

As far as Jilan knows, the original ability of the "Lighting Master" can use the power of light and shadow to isolate the opponent's perception. It can also break the enemy's concealment means, making it under the "spotlight" and always exposed.

It can also use the power of shadows to intercept the opponent's attack, or find the opponent's flaws and defeat the enemy in one move.

The ability of "Environmental Settings" includes "Brightness", "Shadow", "Volume", and even "Resolution".

With Jilan himself as the center, all settings can be made within a range of ten meters.

He can lower the brightness and resolution, increase the shadow, and blind the opponent's vision, and he can also adjust the volume to the lowest, making his own attack noise zero.

With the second ability "Difficulty Adjustment", once Jilan gets close to the enemy within ten meters, his chances of winning can be said to be greatly improved.

"Very strong..." Jilan exclaimed.

His eyes were bright and he smiled.

The player's path to the fifth-level "Panel" is extremely strong. Although he has no expertise in a certain area, his uniqueness determines that this is a "mechanism-oriented" essence.

And the ability "attribute improvement" can make him a mysterious person who is "numerical-oriented" in disguise.

There are both numerical and mechanical aspects.

It is hard for Jilan to imagine whether he can find an opponent among the 5th-level Jiushi once he is promoted...

"It's a pity..." He showed regret again. "Now I still lack a fire element'footprint' to meet the promotion conditions. Moreover, my spiritual knowledge and spirituality have not yet fully met the standards."

Click.

Jilan jumped down from the big red rock.

Just as he was about to leave this transition zone, wake up from his dream, and return to the world.

"Huh?" Jilan's eyes suddenly condensed and looked around.

He found that the wind stopped.

The surrounding environment was dead silent.

Suddenly.

Tall and strong red-skinned figures emerged from all directions, shadowy, no less than hundreds.

Among them, there were more than ten powerful auras comparable to Jiushi.

The leader was three meters tall, wearing iron-gray armor and a horned helmet. He also held a huge five-pronged halberd in his hand, which exuded a vicious bloody smell.

Jilan smelled a strong breath of danger from the devil lord.

The opponent's strength was no less than that of "Dog Uncle" Schnauzer.

'It is a count-level devil, most likely a strong man from the depths of hell. '

Jilan leaned on his cane, lowered his eyes, and said secretly.

"Human, you dare to hunt devils wantonly on the border. I can only say that you are brave."

The unusually tall devil lord had an indifferent face. Under the horned helmet, a pair of dark eyes examined Jilan.

His voice was loud and powerful, spreading across the wilderness, and full of ferocity:

"But among the devils you killed, there are my subordinates... In view of this, you can only use your soul to repay the debt."

After that, the devil lord raised the five-pronged halberd in his hand.

This seemed to be a signal.

A dozen devil nobles under his command, all with grim faces, spread and flapped their bat wings, flew into the air, surrounded Jilan, and blocked all his escape routes.

And the remaining hundreds of devils pressed forward step by step.

It is foreseeable that they will rush forward and tear this black-clad human into pieces!

Gilan remained calm, tightened his gray cane, adjusted the brim of his hat, and swept his hidden eyes around him.

He was different from ordinary mysterious people.

Once ordinary visitors set foot on the land of God's Homeland, they would be suppressed by the will of God's Homeland and could not wake up directly from the dream. If they wanted to leave, they had to return to the shore.

But Gilan could use "Colorful" to force himself to wake up and leave the dream on the spot.

So even if he was surrounded by powerful enemies at this moment, he was not panicked at all.

But at this critical moment.

Both sides heard a sudden sound of horse hooves.

The sound was not loud, but it had some kind of magic that could attract attention to a great extent and could not be ignored.

Gilan glanced.

I saw a tall, thin and agile figure galloping at a very fast speed from the left rear.

It was actually a centaur creature.

The upper body of the man was naked, and the exposed muscle lines were extremely beautiful. The lower body is a brown horse, and the long hair on the tail shakes as it gallops, like a flame.

This centaur has long golden hair that reaches his waist, deep facial features, a high nose bridge, and a stern expression. He also holds a long iron spear in his hand and carries a bow and arrows on his back.

Jilan's essence ability "Guidance Prompt" is activated, and the other party's information is revealed instantly:

"Lower level inspector, Fakal Shannon."

"The law enforcer of God's Hometown Toyalan. The 'Inspector' is composed of the forces under the command of the Twelve Hours, and they take turns to inspect in December."

"Now is the 'Gladiator's Month', Fakal will implement the will of the 'Gladiator' and inspect the 'lower level' of God's Hometown for him."

Knowing that the centaur who came was an inspector, Jilan frowned.

This transitional area is located between the "lower level" and the "corridor", and it is difficult to determine whether it belongs to the jurisdiction of the inspector.

At the same time, Jilan knew that the "mottled air" on his body was strong. He didn't know whether the inspector would attack the devils, but he was sure that he must be in the category of being hostile.

"In the name of the 'inspector', warn the devil army--"

The centaur galloped to a few dozen meters away from the battlefield and stopped, swinging his spear, pointing it directly at the devil lord, and said coldly.

"Send you back to hell immediately, and you are not allowed to go out here without permission, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

"Inspector..."

A solemn and fearful voice sounded under the devil's horn helmet.

Its dark eyes narrowed, and it was silent for a few seconds, then it raised its hand and made a move.

Without saying a word, it turned around and left.

In an instant, the devils flying in the air and on the ground, who had originally surrounded Jilan, all evacuated and followed the devil lord away quickly.

Only Jilan and the centaur were left at the original place.

Jilan watched the devils gradually go away until they disappeared, and then he turned his head to look at the inspector.

In secret, he was ready to activate "Colorful" to wake himself up at any time.

After all, the other party was a 6th-level strongman, and he was far from being his opponent. The only best strategy was to withdraw.

However, what surprised Jilan was that the centaur patrol named Fakal did not attack him directly.

Instead, he raised his spear upside down again, walked slowly on all fours, and stood ten meters away from Jilan, no longer approaching.

Fakal did not speak directly, but looked Jilan up and down with a scrutinizing look.

Then he groaned and said:

"You are Mr. Jilan Ilos, right?"

"Hmm?" Jilan was quite surprised by the attitude and honorifics of the patrol. He nodded and responded: "Do you know me?"

"No." Fakal shook his head, looked into the distance again, and said: "I am just here to take care of it on the order of the emperor."

'The emperor...'

Jilan's eyes condensed.

Even if we look at the history of various civilizations, there are not many people who can be called "emperors".

Combined with the fact that it is March now, and the other party is a patrol officer under the "Gladiator"...

Gilan can only think of one person.

Emperor Tessell!

Tessell Eugene, the protagonist of "The Legend of the Unbeaten", once unified the western countries, expelled the two civilizations of the Far West and the Far North, and established the Stuttgart Empire.

'Tessell should have ascended long ago and become the "Unbeaten" one of the March Apostles. '

Gilan thought, quite puzzled.

'But how did He know me... and asked the patrol officer to take care of me? '

"Mr. Patrol Officer, why did the emperor ask you to help me?"

Gilan couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly.

But the centaur shook his head again, as if he didn't know the reason.

After a moment of silence.

"Mr. Gilan, the 'mottled aura' on you seems to be too strong..."

Fakal hesitated slightly and frowned.

"Now that it is March, I will still protect you, but once it is other months, I advise you not to set foot in Toyalan again, otherwise you will be hunted by other patrols."

"Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention."

Gilan nodded.

Next month, April, will be the month of "Miss Elegy". At that time, it will be extremely dangerous for him to visit the God's Land again.

As for the subsequent "Twin Kite" month in May, the situation is not bad. After all, he has some relationship with the three ladies, and he should not be treated as a "wanted criminal".

But Gilan dare not guarantee it.

As for June, it is the month of "Mrs. Ya", which is also extremely dangerous.

So Gilan is quite anxious.

If you are not promoted within this month, it may be extremely difficult to leave your "footprint" in the Land of Gods.

'We have to hurry up...'

Ji Lan warned herself in her heart.

‘You can’t slack off in your daily practice. At the same time, you should make up the last “footprint” of the fire element as soon as possible and advance to level 5 as soon as possible! ’

After warning Gilan, the centaur Fakal did not stay long. He nodded and said goodbye, then turned and galloped away.

Ji Lan took a deep breath, and without lingering, directly activated "Banlan" to wake herself up from her dream.

…

…

Return to reality that night.

Gilan went to his spiritual kingdom again and met with the members of "Hand of Dawn".

Through some small talk, we learned that the four of them had successfully formed their own "Kamigo Brand" and met the main conditions for promotion to the fourth level of Kusei.

Next, you only need to stabilize your gnosis and spirituality a little more, and continue to practice according to the esoteric teachings, and you can be promoted smoothly.

And this time won't be long.

It must be in the near future.

After learning about this, Gilan was in a good mood.

As the saying goes, good luck comes like no other, but the next day, he received another good news...

It was Baron Opal calling the hotline.

The two parties signed a contract before, and Gillan took a stake in the "wick potion" formula in exchange for the "lava balm" formula and 10% business dividends.

This call coincided with the arrival of the first installment of dividends.

"Mr. Blood Owl, the first batch of wick potions has been sold out three days ago, and the popularity is even higher than expected."

Baron Opal's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

Ji Lan could imagine the scene where the other party held the microphone in his fat hand covered with gemstones and laughed so hard that his chin trembled.

"Oh?" Jilan was also curious and asked on the phone, "What's the specific situation?"

"It's like this. Originally, I only refined 100 potions and planned to put them on the market for testing... But I didn't expect that they were all sold out in less than a week."

Baron Opal's voice came again from the other side of the phone.

"So I asked my alchemists and apprentices to rush out a batch of 100 potions, and I also raised the price and sold them directly to 200 Caesars. What do you think the result was?"

"Have you been robbed again?" Jilan laughed.

"Hahaha...that's exactly it!"

Baron Opal smiled heartily.

"The 'Wick Magic Potion' is indeed popular. Now it seems that the cooperation with Mr. Blood Owl was really a blessing."

"The dividend for the first batch of potions this time totals 3,800 Caesars. I don't know if Mr. Blood Owl wants cash or equivalent. I have no problem with it. I can pass it to you through the alchemy array now."

"Hmm..." Jilan pondered for a moment.

"Baron Opal, let me give you a list and ask you to help me prepare all the materials on it. The required amount will be deducted from the dividends and I will replenish it for you. How about that?"

"Haha, of course no problem."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Soon.

In the attic of the apartment, Gillan filled a piece of parchment with a pen and passed through the alchemical formation.

This list of materials is the auxiliary materials needed to refine the "Philosopher's Stone"...
