Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

All the players were confused when they heard the question asked by the host Li Daoxian.

How are advanced materials generated?

One player immediately responded subconsciously: "Isn't it in the game?"

This answer also made many players nod secretly.

Before hearing this question, almost all players don’t care much about where these materials come from. After all, it is normal for the game to produce materials, and this is the game mechanism.

As for the source of these materials, they are probably released by the organizers of the game.

However, many players also realized that the answer to the question might not be that simple. Now that the host asked this question so deliberately, it was obvious that the final answer was closely related to their next game.

Li Daoxian smiled and said: "The answer is correct, but not entirely correct. First of all, you should have felt the specialness of these materials..."

indeed.

All the players present have fused a piece of material in this session. Regardless of the quality of the material, they have all experienced the fusion of materials.

These materials provide themselves with a huge boost after being fused with them.

Especially players like Zhuo Ling and Long Muba, even their bloodlines have changed, and they have completely transformed from humans into another species. From their bodies to their abilities, huge changes have taken place. The extent of the improvement is so great that even they themselves find it hard to believe.

Many players compared themselves with the superhero introduction videos they had seen in the real world and found that they seemed to have abilities that were no less powerful than those of the superheroes. Although... these were only abilities displayed by the superheroes in the videos, this was enough to excite them.

Li Daoxian knew exactly what they were thinking.

So he paused, gave the player some time to think, and then gave the answer:

"Yes, just as you all imagined, these materials are far beyond your level. At present, the value of all of you combined is not as precious as any one material, even the lowest-level colorless material."

"That's not a put-down, that's a statement of fact."

"These materials are all taken from the precious parts of different magical creatures. In essence, the rank of these materials is much higher than yours. With your abilities, wanting to fuse the materials is like an ant swallowing an elephant. In the eyes of others, this is almost impossible to achieve."

The "others" that Li Daoxian mentioned here refer to other wizards. In the ears of players, they understand it as hunters in other copies. Although there are some differences in the definition of this word, it does not affect the understanding of both parties.

"But I'm different."

"I like challenges, so from the beginning, I hope you can achieve the step of swallowing an elephant..."

"And from the very beginning, a part of you has been involved in this game as a catalyst."

Players like Wang Yu and Li Ting who have completed the second fusion have had profound fusion experiences, so they immediately understood what the host meant by "that part". Other smart players also made some guesses based on the different environments and materials just now.

Wang Yu gave a direct answer: "Is it emotion?"

Li Daoxian snapped his fingers and confirmed Wang Yu's answer: "Yes, it's emotion."

"The entire game is a huge ritual, and your emotions are the most important part of it. From the beginning of the game, I have collected your emotions and used them as the background of the ritual. These emotions are constantly soaking in these materials until they are alienated into different forms by emotions, and then the redundant parts are eliminated."

Tuning and purity, these two key factors, are what I have gained before.

I don’t know how Yuan Hua is doing now, and Catherine... After what happened this time, I should also start investigating. After all, Abisowol is not a safe place.

Li Daoxian paused for a moment and continued:

"It is not an easy task to induce materials to form special materials through different emotional characteristics, which can be integrated by all of you..."

Li Daoxian showed some interest here.

He was somewhat proud of his ingenious design here. Under limited conditions, he made perfect use of the characteristics of these players' rule fragment incarnations, coupled with emotional resonance and induced alienation, and successfully allowed these weak players to grow rapidly.

However, when he saw the wide eyes of the players below, and even heard some players silently saying "skip" in their hearts, several black lines appeared on Li Daoxian's forehead. He felt quite speechless, and his interest in explaining was reduced a bit.

He suddenly missed the Potions Master competition. At least there, both the contestants and the instructors could understand the subtleties of his operations and give responses, instead of speaking to a bunch of children like he was doing now, which felt like playing the lute to a cow.

Forget it...

My explanation went beyond the syllabus.

Li Daoxian put away his original explanation and continued to speak, picking out only the key information:

"You just need to understand that the root of your ability to merge is your emotions. The more intense the emotions, the easier it is to merge and the easier it is to advance. So you need to understand the emotions that suit you and use them to merge."

Li Daoxian's change of subject made Wang Yu feel a little uncomfortable. He originally had a vague feeling that what he was about to hear was very important, a special opportunity. Even before he heard it, Wang Yu's heart began to beat violently. The strong sense of anticipation even slowed down his breathing.

But after Li Daoxian stopped explaining, Wang Yu felt like he had missed something.

Seeing that Li Daoxian was still talking, Wang Yu could only calm down and continue listening.

And then, I heard the most important news in the entire game.

"Greed, jealousy, lust, arrogance, rage, laziness, and gluttony. These seven emotions are the emotions for all materials to be promoted. They are also the emotions you will need to use in the subsequent fusion."

Crucial information is always revealed suddenly.

Not only the players, but the audience also heard Li Daoxian's explanation at this moment.

The audience went wild:

"Ah? If I remember correctly, these are called the Seven Deadly Sins. Are those who develop abilities with these things still superheroes? More like super criminals, right?"

"Don't mention it, it seems to be possible. After all, everyone has some of these words, more or less. If you really want to collect them, you can only look at these."

"Oh, I understand. The Raging Volcano represents rage, the Feasting Place represents gluttony, the Needlepoint Oasis represents jealousy, and the Quiet Swamp represents laziness. But why are there no other three, greed, arrogance, and lust..."

"Of course it has been absorbed. I don't know if you still remember that in the last session, seven curse seeds were hatched. During the on-site dialogue, they mentioned that these curse seeds represent different emotions. Wang Yu swallowed greed, Li Ting merged lust, and Lu Zhicheng chose arrogance. So in this session, of course, there are three less."

"Wow, you're awesome, you know such crucial details."

"I remember that before this part started, Wang Yu, Li Ting and Lu Zhicheng went directly to the Black Tower area and did not go to the other four areas. It seems that they knew about it a long time ago."

"Doesn't this prove that the final winner will be among Wang Yu, Li Ting, and Lu Zhicheng? After all, they are leading by one round..."

"The prophet is too bad. He can't play without the other people's swords."

"I'm all in. I have thirty years of life left. I'm suppressing Wang Yu and I'm winning a long life!"

……

While the audience was discussing and the guessing was heating up.

The players raised questions.

Zhuo Ling asked, "Host, if I remember correctly, these emotions are called the seven deadly sins. Why do we collect these emotions instead of the corresponding virtues?"

Zhuo Ling was a little angry.

After she fused with the golden material, her race changed from human to fire ghost. The ability that she had restored with great difficulty was abolished before she had used it a few times, and was replaced by the ability to control fire and incarnate anger.

It would be fine if only her abilities had changed, but in the last round, she was filled with constant anger. Although she thought she was sober, she did a lot of irrational things, things that she would never do in a normal state.

She seemed to be held hostage by her emotions.

To give the simplest example, every time she fought with Wang Yu, she would choose to self-destruct at the end. Many players were killed by her self-destruction, but when she was furious and focused on killing Wang Yu, she didn't pay attention to these things at all. Or, she thought about it, but didn't care at all.

This feeling made her a little scared.

If she wasn't here, if she was a superhero in the outside world, if she blew herself up when she got emotional...

The result is simply unimaginable. I am afraid that the losses caused by myself will be greater than those caused by abnormal events.

Zhuo Ling became angrier the more she thought about it. Her heart was beating violently, and the flames on her body were flowing faster. This was also a sign that the fire ghost wanted to attack. "Do you know that these emotions are completely wrong and should be abandoned?"

"Quiet!"

Li Daoxian waved his hand gently, and a soothing magic floated down on Zhuo Ling's body.

Zhuo Ling's anger was like being poured with a basin of cold water, and she immediately calmed down: "Sorry, I lost my temper."

Li Daoxian asked with a smile: "It's okay, it's normal for you to be a little angry. After all, anyone would be a little panicked when they hear that they actually use bad habits as the source of their strength, but not many people react as strongly as you do. In a way, rage seems to suit you quite well."

Others also heard what Li Daoxian said, and they might have had the same idea, but only Zhuo Ling chose to stand up directly and question the host.

Zhuo Ling looked around and saw pairs of calm eyes.

There are many players who have absorbed the "Rage" characteristic materials, but they have no reaction at this moment.

Li Daoxian looked at Zhuo Ling and said with a smile: "You seem to have some bad thoughts about me. I must clarify. How do you know that I haven't tried to collect virtues?"

Hey?

Now it was Zhuo Ling's turn to be at a loss.

Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Humility, tolerance, gentleness, temperance, diligence, purity, generosity... Any of the seven virtues can provide great emotional value. Compared with the seven deadly sins, the emotions have more room for utilization and value. If I have a choice, I would certainly prefer to collect these virtues."

"I tried to arouse such emotions in you in some levels, but it is somewhat ironic that I collected more sins in these levels..."

The players immediately understood what Li Daoxian was referring to... the life fraud incident on the 14th.

It was precisely because of that incident that, like a fuse, the trust between people collapsed, and greed, jealousy, arrogance, and rage, at least four emotions arose violently at that stage.

Zhuo Ling also fell silent.

It turns out that it was not this game that led to the creation of the seven deadly sins, but that they naturally took the dark path among the two paths.

At this time, players including Lu Zhicheng also understood that in each link, the link designed at the beginning was to give them a path to embody virtue...

Li Daoxian looked at the silent players below and said with a smile: "Anything else you want to ask? I am a very kind and democratic person. As long as I can answer it, I can tell you."

A player asked: "Dear host, I would like to ask, in your opinion, which of all our players are most likely to win the final game?"

The one who asked this question was Long Muba.

The reason why he asked this was, on the one hand, he wanted to see if he could get some information from the host, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test whether the host had any bias.

Li Daoxian stretched out his hand, and golden light rose from the five players in the group. "Lu Zhicheng, Wang Yu, Li Ting, Zhuo Ling, and Long Muba, these five people are strong candidates for competition. If the others don't have special opportunities, I think it will be difficult for them to compete with them in the future."

When none of talent, luck, hard work, or character is at an advantage, it is almost impossible for others to compete with these five people.

Long Muba's eyes flickered, and he thanked him respectfully: "Thank you for your answer."

No. 14 then asked, "Excuse me, can I still quit the game now? I just looked through the redemption options and there doesn't seem to be an option to leave."

Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Of course you can. As long as you give up all your life and strip away all your abilities, you can leave now..."

No. 14's face changed. If he gave his entire lifespan, he would not have much time left to live. After all, he had given the lifespan he had obtained by fraud to Long Muba. If he had known that he would encounter this situation, he should have left decisively.

But he had no intention of giving up, and continued to ask: "Why has the cost of leaving the option increased so much..."

Li Daoxian smiled and said: "Your greedy choices will of course be reflected in the entire ceremony..."
