the only savior

Chapter 1058 Branding Completed
Pique had an expression of "I have seen through everything", as if he was no stranger to this situation.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't feel embarrassed when he was punctured by the other party. When he compared the information he said on the dark web and found that it was the same, he felt relieved and nodded in agreement.

"Good! Refreshing!"

As soon as Pique slapped the table, he stood up immediately.

He did not know where to take out a crystal key, projected a contract from inside, and handed it to Zhang Xiaoman.

"Come on, sign this contract first, pay 20 tolls, and let's go!"

Zhang Xiaoman was taken aback.

"What travel expenses?"

Pique laughed and said:

"Brother, it seems that this is really your first contact. To tell you the truth, our extra 20 is for the round-trip travel expenses, otherwise you wouldn't really think that we are imprinted here, would you? "

Zhang Xiaoman immediately understood that this is really just a tattoo parlor, and if he wants to imprint the star pattern, he needs to change the venue.

It's just that the 20 travel expenses, what kind of trouble is it going to do?

Soon his doubts were answered.

Inside the star pattern shop, there is a small teleportation array impressively.

Zhang Xiaoman was rich and powerful, so he directly transferred 20 star coins, and followed Peake into the teleportation array.

The surrounding environment changed instantly. When I looked up, the darkness of the small house was no longer in front of me, and it turned into a bright open wilderness.

"here it is……"

Zhang Xiaoman was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly. As far as the eye can see, there are colorful flowers all over the mountains and plains.

He released his senses to investigate slightly, and was shocked to find that the flowers here were all blossoming spiritual plants.

Even the mountains and forests in the distance are faintly exuding multicolored light, and one can tell that there is something extraordinary inside.

"Welcome to Pike Star, hahaha, the travel expenses this time are worth it, such a beautiful scenery is rare on Skull Star, buddy, let me tell you, even if you regard this place as a tourist, it is not worth it. It's a waste of time."

Zhang Xiaoman curled his lips, it would cost 20 star coins to go on a trip, even if he built a teleportation array, the consumption would not necessarily be so much.

Obviously, this guy is deliberately using the name of collecting tolls to increase his income.

Zhang Xiaoman smiled, didn't point it out, but asked:

"Since Boss Pique's business is so big and he even has his own private planet, why doesn't he decorate the facade on the Skull Planet?"

"Hey, I said buddy, you really don't understand. Who in our business doesn't have a private planet, and anyone who wants to imprint a star pattern will inquire about it in advance. I understand everything. What do you want to do? Let's talk , How expensive is the rent on the Skull Planet, I might as well save that money and buy another planet..."

Peake babbled a lot, but the movements of his hands didn't stop. When he stretched out his hands, he attracted a group of flying people with dragonfly wings but human appearance.

He said something to the group of little flying men, and saw that the group of guys flew to the depths of the flower bushes one after another, and began to pick the flowers here.

"Hey, buddy, I'm not bragging. As far as the elixir reserve on our planet is concerned, even the official star pattern hall of the Dark Spirit Association on Skull Star doesn't have as many as me!"

"Look at these flowers, not to mention the first star pattern, even the third one, I can get it for you!"

Zhang Xiaoman was looking around casually at first, but after hearing his words, he was instantly aroused in interest.

"You mean that the third star pattern can also be tattooed? Can you tell me how much the third star pattern costs? How do you want it?"

Pique paused when he heard that, apparently he didn't expect the person in front of him to ask such a question suddenly.

He pondered for a while, then called up a quotation and said:
"Brother, I have clearly marked prices here. Look, the first star pattern costs 100 million yuan. With my technology, I can finish it for you within two hours. The second star pattern is 2000 million yuan, which can be done in about a month." Completed. The price of the third star pattern is 2 million star coins, and it will take at least 5 months..."

"Hey, don't think it's too expensive. The third star pattern consumes a lot. Even with my elixir reserve here, I have to magnify half a bowl of blood. And I have been branding your star pattern for 5 months, which delayed me. Do other business, so the price is not too expensive..."

After listening to his offer, Zhang Xiaoman looked calm on the surface, but in fact there was a turbulent sea in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the third star pattern is so troublesome. Not only does it take 5 months to brand it, but the charge is as high as 2 million star coins, which is really unexpected.

Recalling the strength of the Happy Reapers team with three stars per capita, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help sighing secretly.

The strength of that team is really strong. If there is no McAvey's last explosion, even if Bigwig is added, then he and the others will definitely not be opponents of the opponent.

"Boss Pique, what do you think it will cost me if I want to imprint the fourth star pattern?"

Pique stared wide-eyed, then quickly waved his hands and said:
"Don't, don't, buddy, don't make fun of me. Even if you sell my whole planet, you still can't get the materials for the fourth star pattern! And the fourth star pattern, that's the median Only those who are above the control level are eligible to be branded, not just casually, and the same goes for the first three star patterns, if you don’t have the corresponding strength to forcibly brand, you can only court death.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoman understood it.

The difficulty and consumption of each star mark increase geometrically.

I also don't know how much resources and time that woman Ziwei spent engraving the fourth star pattern. I must find an opportunity to ask her some other day.

During the conversation, the group of little flying men sent by Peake had completed the work of collecting medicine.

They each flew into a processing factory with a lot of elixirs in their hands, and after a while, a tube of elixirs was transported out and handed over to Pique.

"This is the star pattern liquid needed to imprint the first star pattern. Brother, you need to add your personal information before starting. It is best to make up for the strength certification, so that I can do some basic things according to your strength. judge."

An information authorization window appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoman, and after clicking Confirm, his information was immediately received by Peake.

"Pass, control level...?"

After Pique saw the strength certification, his eyes widened immediately, and he stared at his personal terminal in disbelief.

"Brother... No, big brother! You are at the control level, you should have said earlier, we have a discount here, for the first star pattern, I will only charge you half price, I just hope that the future business big brother can take care of it more .”

Zhang Xiaoman was also a little dazed by the other party's change of attitude, but since there was a discount, he would not refuse it.

The branding of the first star patterns began soon.

The place where Pique drew the star pattern is on an open grassland, and there is a huge magic circle with a diameter of about 50 meters in the grassland.

The two were suspended in the air, and Pique branded Zhang Xiaoman.

Before the imprint, Pique also asked what kind of pattern he wanted to imprint and where the imprint was.

Zhang Xiaoman thought about it, and after realizing that the style and position of the star pattern had no effect on its effect, Dang even showed the other party the icon of the starry eye in his hand, and asked the other party to imprint the exact same pattern on his right arm .

After which Pique saw the pattern, the expression on his face suddenly collapsed, and he cried:
"Brother, although we don't have any requirements for the specific pattern of the branded star pattern, but you are too complicated! The branded star pattern needs to be focused, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted. Now the first star pattern is fine. If you want to imprint the second and third, the workload will not exhaust you to death!"

Zhang Xiaoman also felt reasonable after hearing his words.

He couldn't help touching his nose, making it easier for the other party.

What he branded was still the Starry Eye icon, but this time it was a simplified version, with only the most basic hexagram circle.

He has already planned that when he imprints the second or third way in the future, he will make up the remaining shields, eyes, forests, etc. on this magic circle in turn.

Anyway, the brand marks of Star Pattern don't have to be all the same.

To distinguish the number of star patterns on a person's body, the main thing is to look at its color.

The first star pattern is light gray light, the second star pattern is light blue, the third is dark blue, and the fourth is purple. As for the latter, Zhang Xiaoman has not seen it for the time being.

Fortunately, after the star pattern is branded, as long as it is not activated, it will not show up.

But once it emits light, no matter how thick the armor is, it can't cover its light.

It is a kind of light that penetrates the surface of the material and reaches directly to the mind, even if you close your eyes, it is useless.

Therefore, the position of the star mark is also very important.

If it was branded on the butt or something like that, it would be too embarrassing once the light came on.

But I believe that no one is big enough to brand the star patterns on their buttocks.

Zhang Xiaoman also inquired from Pique about a question he was most concerned about, that is, if the arm imprinted with star pattern was cut off, would it affect his strength.

The answer was satisfactory to him.

If the limbs imprinted with the star pattern are cut off, then the strength of oneself will not decrease, but when the star pattern is activated again, there will be no such cool light effect.

Of course, if the limbs are regrown by repairing the limbs in the future, the star pattern will still exist.

It has been written into one's own original gene, and has become a part of the whole person.

Pique said that there used to be some dead soldiers trained by big families who would take the initiative to cut off the part of their branded star pattern when performing tasks, so as to hide their strength.

In this regard, Zhang Xiaoman said that the people here are really good at tricks, and it seems that the star pattern is indeed one of the most widely spread cultivation methods in this world.

The branding process went smoothly, and the time was shorter than expected.

After only one hour, three and 10 minutes, Pique put away the star pen and announced that the imprinting was completed.

During this process, Zhang Xiaoman didn't feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, there was a faint wave of aura coming from the tip of the other party's pen, which made him feel that he had a clearer perception of the dark spiritual power around him.

"boom!!!"

The moment Piket finished drawing the pen, a huge aura surged from Zhang Xiaoman's body.

The hexagram-shaped star pattern exuded gray light, and the dark spiritual power from the surrounding world flowed into Zhang Xiaoman's body following its attraction.

"what!"

Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but let out a groan.

This feeling is so refreshing, as if his own sea of ​​spiritual consciousness has expanded countless times in an instant.

There are also bursts of comfortable feelings coming from his body, his ears are clear and his eyes are clear, and the whole world is so clearly visible in his eyes.

"I'm going, big brother, you are worthy of the strength of the control level. After the first star pattern was branded on it, such a terrifying fluctuation of dark spiritual power broke out. It's hard to imagine that if you tattooed all three star patterns, what would happen to you?" What kind of situation will the strength break through to?"

Pique on the side expressed admiration, he thought for a while, and then said:
"The first star pattern has been branded now. If you want to fully activate it, you need to cultivate it a little bit more. Here I will give you a guidance technique, which is the most popular "Nine Luminaries Guidance Technique—" "Star Pattern", don't worry, it was purchased through official channels, and you can practice directly."

"Brother, after you go back, you can run this Guidance Technique well. It can allow you to accumulate your star patterns faster. Of course, you can also practice here. I also provide corresponding augmentation circle services. , can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

Zhang Xiaoman took a crystal key from the other party, and through his spiritual sense, he could see that it contained a piece of cultivation method.

He asked how long it would take to fully cultivate this star pattern.

Pick said:

"If you use this guidance technique and the magic circle here to practice, it will take about two months to complete."

Zhang Xiaoman became a little uneasy when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, it only took less than two hours to imprint the star pattern, but in the end it took two months to cultivate it.

This is only the first one, and the second and third star patterns will take longer to accumulate.

"No way, this step is indispensable."

As if seeing the depression in his heart, Pique explained:

"The star pattern itself is not the purpose. The purpose is to expand your spiritual veins and temper your body and spirit through it. Therefore, the process of practicing Daoyin is indispensable."

"Of course, if you have money, brother, you can also buy some corresponding elixir to help speed up the body's tempering process, but the demand for this kind of medicine is very small, and most people choose to accumulate it slowly. If you need it, I can order a batch for you at the most reasonable price."
