Chapter 3230: Chapter 3231: Musical Experience Voucher
On the display page of the Singer Clan, besides promoting tools for "environment alteration," there is another highlighted product: the experience voucher.
The Singer Clan specializes in musical spells, using various sound combinations to produce extraordinary effects.
For example, exorcism, spirit awakening, peace of mind, barrier break, enlightenment... and other effects.
The purpose of the experience voucher is to convey your needs to the Singer Clan, who will solve different people’s problems through chanting.
On the surface, this seems like a versatile experience voucher.
However, its effects are actually very powerful.
For instance, the "spirit awakening" effect allows singers to combine melodies to awaken spirit in low-intelligence life forms, raising their cognitive understanding by a whole dimension.
This means that low-intelligence life forms might have a chance to cross the chasm and become truly enlightened beings.
Apart from the peculiar "spirit awakening" effect, the "barrier break" effect is also formidable, enhancing the probability of transcendent beings breaking through bottlenecks within barriers.
If the "barrier break" effect could be applied to the "great barrier," wouldn’t it mean that apprentices advancing to Official Wizards would have a smooth path?
Even Angel couldn’t help but want to contact the singers upon seeing the "barrier break" effect.
It was later that Laplace spoke up to dispel his thoughts.
"Almost every energy system has bottlenecks like barriers, and the presence of bottlenecks is mostly not a flaw, but a protection." Laplace said: "Take for example, if an ignorant beggar suddenly became a king, he would not be able to truly secure that position."
Because becoming a king requires not only wisdom and strategy, but also support from various sides, an understanding of the people’s hardships, and the responsibility of managing a nation, all of which can be collectively termed as "foundation."
To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.
Without any "foundation," how could a beggar secure the throne?
Unless the beggar starts learning from scratch, slowly enriching his knowledge, making various friends, and planning his future through strategic alliances.
Ultimately, truly reaching the pinnacle with one’s own strength.
This process can be called "barrier break."
"Relying on external forces to break barriers may not necessarily be a good thing," Laplace said lightly, "As for what you’re thinking—that external forces could help break through the great barrier—it’s even more difficult. The same example: this time, it’s not an ignorant beggar ascending the throne, but a frog that has lived at the bottom of a well suddenly sitting on the human throne. Do you think an ignorant well frog could govern an enormous human kingdom well?"
Breaking through ordinary barriers can be called a quantitative change.
Breaking through the great barrier requires quantitative and qualitative changes together.
Just like a well frog ruling humans, the first step is for the well frog to qualitatively change into a "human," then accumulate human wisdom, human foundation, to ascend the throne and govern the kingdom well.
This is the orthodox path.
"Taking shortcuts isn’t impossible, but ascending using shortcuts will only make you a worthless tyrant or despot, with the upper limit already fixed."
And relying on "barrier break" is essentially taking a shortcut.
This shortcut barely allows breaking through ordinary barriers. As for the great barrier, it’s impossible.
Looking at it from another angle, if breaking the great barrier was so easy, the Singer Clan wouldn’t be in such desperate straits.
Although the "barrier break" effect might not be as miraculous as Angel imagined, this "entry ticket" encompasses many effects, making it overall quite valuable.
Pixi mentioned that many Pirush have bought "entry tickets."
Pirush are less concerned with "barrier break" and "spirit awakening," but more with the "enlightenment" effect. It uses special melodies to enhance mental clarity in a short period, allowing many Pirush stuck in invention dilemmas to break through barriers.
In conclusion, despite its shortcomings, the entry ticket is far superior compared to the Singer’s Monument and the Song Tower.
Apart from the promoted "entry ticket" product, the remaining goods from the singers are mostly miscellaneous. Like the sheet music Luigi needs, which is categorized among miscellaneous items.
Luigi, upon understanding the singers’ talent, harbors high expectations for the sheet music they sell.
However, although Luigi is interested in purchasing sheet music from the singers, the singer’s "online store" has too long a queue, so he decided to wait until later to visit the singer’s location.
The singer’s display page is roughly like this, attracting Luigi more, while Angel just glanced over it.
Rather, on Yusen’s display page, there are many items that catch Angel’s fancy.
The Feather Forest Clan, to put it plainly, are special plant life forms. They are not only nature’s favorites but also possess spatial abilities, being true children of the Void.
Both plant products and space-related products are what Angel yearns for.
For example, among plant products, there are many Demon Plants with magical effects. With Angel’s Alchemy Master’s insight, several Demon Plants can completely replace some expensive external demonic materials, even substitute for some long-lost Demon Plants to refine some forgotten potions.
As for space-related products, they are even more tempting to Angel.
The Feather Forest Clan actually sells... Constant Fragments!
What are Constant Fragments? They are essential materials for refining Witchcraft Gardens!
In the Southern Domain Wizard World, whenever Constant Fragments emerge, top experts from various Witcher Organizations come out in full force, attesting to their preciousness.
Although the Feather Forest Clan clearly states that Constant Fragments are expensive and in limited supply, it still makes Angel green-eyed; he too desires a Witchcraft Garden!
Even though Angel has the Indestructible Heart Mirror, lacking a storage space, a Witchcraft Garden and storage space are not the same thing, as it possesses both storage and the power of Law.
The basic ability of a Witchcraft Garden is allowing one to perceive the Law’s pathways. Additionally, some powerful Witchcraft Gardens can continuously produce Law products.
The most typical example is the Barbarian Cave’s Witchcraft Garden—The Garden of All Spirits.
The Garden of All Spirits can continuously spawn various Illusory Spirits.
The strange Illusory Spirits reared on Illusion Demon Island are those brought out by Sanders from The Garden of All Spirits.
Just the value brought by Illusory Spirits amounts to an incalculably frightening number.
Of course, The Garden of All Spirits doesn’t just produce Illusory Spirits; it also has other even more powerful effects, such as the Spirit Law and the Law of Creation, both of which have clues within The Garden of All Spirits. This is also why Baroque and Samantha are so eager for The Garden of All Spirits.
Undoubtedly, Angel is also covetous of Witchcraft Gardens.
He doesn’t even ask for a top-grade garden like The Garden of All Spirits; if he could get a miniature, even a micro-space, he’d be satisfied. As for the Law, one cannot force it, as it’s randomly infused by World Will, any Law being acceptable.
Of course, pondering these things now isn’t useful; he still needs to see what price the Feather Forest Clan demands for their Constant Fragments.
Angel hesitated for a moment, then reached out a finger to tap the picture representing "Constant Fragments."
Soon, a row of new information appeared on the display page.
"Special Material: Constant Fragments."
"Effect: None currently."
"Due to limited stock and high price, inquiries are temporarily not open. If you wish to purchase, you need to go to the Feather Forest’s establishment for qualification verification, and then further negotiations can be initiated."
The "none currently" effect for Constant Fragments doesn’t necessarily mean there’s truly no effect. Instead, it signifies an attitude: those who know about this item naturally understand its effect and value; those who don’t represent those unqualified to even come into contact with it, hence there’s no need to explain the effect to them.
Such a method is quite arrogant, but Constant Fragments have the right to be arrogant.
For the first time, Angel actively chose to click on Constant Fragments in an attempt to queue.
But...
"Queue inquiries in progress, current queue number is 5422, the average consultation time for each number is five minutes."
"Approximate queue time: ??? (more than 24 hours not shown)"
This queue number is longer than any product before!
However, thinking about it, it’s normal. Items like the Singer’s Monument and Song Tower benefit whole groups with a single purchase and are strategic level items. A community only needs to send one representative to purchase them.
But materials like Constant Fragments are desired by every transcendent life form.
In the face of such precious materials, not to mention alien clans, even within the same species, there’s bound to be competition; hence it’s quite normal for the queue to exceed five thousand people.
Moreover, since the page expansion hasn’t ended yet, as more display booklets are expanded, the queue number will only keep growing, proving the value of "Constant Fragments."
"Should we queue?" Luigi looked at Angel.
Angel regarded the long queue number and eventually shook his head, "Forget it, I’ll try to find a way to talk with the Feather Forest Clan later."
Luigi: "How about we wait until the Feather Forest is dealt with, and then steal it?"
Angel shook his head with a chuckle, "If it was before, I might have thought this proposal could be realized. But now, the Feather Forest Clan dares to bring out Constant Fragments, they surely have a way to protect them."
"Don’t forget, both the Feather Forest Clan and the Singer Clan have Legendary level backing."
Even...miracle-level backing.
Under such circumstances, it’s normal for the Feather Forest Clan to have some cards hidden.
Angel even thinks that solving the Singer and Feather Forest Clan might not require force, best not to use force.
While Angel desires to obtain Constant Fragments, he’s not at the point where he would give up everything for it.
Taking one step at a time aligns better with Angel’s thinking.
...
After checking the expanded pages of the Singer and Feather Forest, Luigi handed the display booklet to Angel.
Since there’s nothing pressing for now, the people from Pierdan haven’t returned, and Pika Sage’s discussions with the Crystal Eye Clan’s leaders haven’t ended. Under such circumstances, Angel decides to continue perusing the merchandise from other species.
To see if there’s anything worth purchasing.
Even though there’s no Crystalline for purchase yet, marking them first for later acquisition after selling the Log-in Device to get Crystalline.
Angel started from the beginning, flipping through each page. Anything intriguing would be noted down, and later he’d go to the related clan’s site or inquire when the display booth opens.
While Angel was engrossed in "online shopping," Luigi shifted his gaze towards Pixi.
He had a query that he had kept inside for a while and decided to ask Pixi now that there was some time.
"Previously, you mentioned Pififi’s original name was Nakfei. Later, Pierdan said that the Invention Mouse named itself Nak Su."
"We only discussed one possibility earlier, which is that Nak Su named itself after hearing of Pififi’s initial name, thus the similarity in names."
"But what if Nak Su hasn’t heard of Pififi’s original name?" Luigi queried, "If Nak Su independently chose the name Nak Su without any external influence, what does that imply?"
One could also inquire: why did Pififi name itself Nakfei? Do Nakfei and Nak Su have any particular significance to the Invention Mice?
Upon hearing Luigi’s question, Pixi thought for a moment and said, "I’ve never really considered this. However, I’ve read some of Pififi’s information."
"According to Pififi’s own words, it chose the name Nakfei due to a nether sense."
"It felt like it was supposed to be called that."
"Regarding the meaning of this name, Pififi couldn’t explain it either; it just felt the name belonged to it. Even now, after its name has been changed, sometimes it’ll still refer to itself as Nakfei."
"If we follow Pififi’s situation as an example, perhaps the name Nak Su also stems from a mystical intuition?"
Pixi’s explanation clarified part of it, but the remaining part left Luigi even more puzzled.
Initially, he hypothesized that "Nak Su, Nakfei" with "Nak" represented the Invention Mice’s species or a special term and Su and Fei were the mouse’s names.
But now, it seems he might have been mistaken.
The mystical intuition that prompted them to name themselves like this...sounds mysterious, but upon slight analysis, it’s evident this so-called intuition is actually a reception of some peculiar information.
And given the Invention Mice’s frail bodies, combined with the fact they name themselves shortly after birth, there’s no way external interference led them to obtain such information.
Thus, there’s only one possibility left:
These peculiar pieces of information associated with names originate from the bloodline.
In other words, the Invention Mice’s bodies might carry ancient bloodline information passed down.
Species capable of continuous bloodline inheritance are mostly extraordinarily powerful...such as Mirror Dragons, Abyssal Dragons, which can probe inheritance data from their bloodline.
The Invention Mice possessing bloodline information implies potentially holding bloodline inheritance?
Further pondering, the presence of some mighty creature’s bloodline within the Invention Mouse, indicates prospect of being a strong species if an ancestor appearance occurs?
Currently, the ones likely to manifest bloodline inheritance and experience ancestral emergence are Pififi and Nak Su.
In that light, Nak Su indeed holds untapped potential?
Then, Pierdan’s belief that Nak Su is disguised might actually be true?
