Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Talisman Plan 2.0
Translator: 549690339
Jiang Cheng chose not to attend the dinner gathering for two main reasons. The first was his genuine dislike for socializing and the hassle that comes with it.
The second was the significant pressure he was facing, which left him with no interest in having fun.
The primary source of Jiang Cheng’s pressure stemmed from two aspects.
The first aspect came from his newly accepted task—”Repair Fluorescence Talisman.”
After all, this task was worth twenty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, nearly seven times that of the “Powerful Immobilization Talisman” task!
Faced with a client’s huge trust of twenty thousand stones, Jiang Cheng, who always held himself to high standards, must match that trust with an appropriate attitude!
It couldn’t be that a talisman costing three thousand stones and one costing twenty thousand stones shared the same quality, right?
Wouldn’t that make him an unscrupulous seller?
Jiang Cheng never engaged in dishonest acts.
He was a conscientious seller, known for the principle that you get what you pay for.
Another source of pressure came from Jiang Cheng’s college entrance examination results.
Jiang Cheng, a background character, had decent academic performance, and the original Jiang Cheng had thought that passing the college entrance examination was almost guaranteed, but the actual results turned out to be much lower than his usual level.
In other words, the background character Jiang Cheng had failed the college entrance examination!
The college admission method in Liang Kingdom was different from that on Earth.
The Immortal Sect’s key universities in Liang Kingdom generally adopted a comprehensive scoring method to recruit new students.
The comprehensive scoring mainly consisted of three parts: college entrance examination results, practical combat assessment, and special contributions.
There’s no need to elaborate on the college entrance examination results; as long as one’s scores met the threshold, one could participate in the schools’ own practical combat assessments.
The practical combat assessment was similar to the graduation exam at Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy, which required candidates to practice Immortal Skills in actual combat and then be graded by teachers.
As for special contributions, they were more flexible. It could be a bag of high-grade Spirit Stones, an Immortal Skill Manual, or a recommendation letter from a notable alumnus.
Jiang Cheng certainly didn’t have the means to get a recommendation letter, so he had to work extra hard during the practical combat assessment to earn a high score.
Otherwise, with the original Jiang Cheng’s marginal and precarious college entrance examination scores, Jiang Cheng might have difficulty entering a key Immortal Sect university.
Of course, the most pressing issue for Jiang Cheng at the moment was still “Repair Fluorescence Talisman.”
As long as he finished the task quickly, he would have the money and time to study opponents for the university’s practical combat assessment in advance!
Wuyue Residence, Room 2-1906.
Jiang Cheng sat in the small living room of his newly purchased apartment.
On the table in front of him laid Zhou Yunshan’s “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman.”
The concept of “Reusable Type” in talismans is easy to understand.
It refers to a talisman that can be used repeatedly.
A normal communication talisman, like the Sound Transmission Talisman, can only be used once to send a message.
But a “Reusable Type Communication Talisman” can achieve repeated contact similar to a phone, which is the cleverness of “Reusable Type.”
The “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman” works the same way.
The user can touch it to choose whether to turn the Fluorescence Talisman on or off.
During the day, the Fluorescence Talisman can be turned off so it doesn’t function. At night, it can be turned on and attached above the fishhook and thrown into the water for fishing.
Its main function is to provide a light source near the fishhook for night-time anglers, making it easier for them to tell if a fish has bitten the hook.
Additionally, the fluorescence also attracts fish to bite, as some fish are phototactic and the light points can catch their attention.
The practical function of the “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman” can’t be said to be exactly the same as the glowing fishing floats on Earth, but rather completely identical.
However, the problem Jiang Cheng faced was not how to create a new Fluorescent Talisman, but to solve the issue of Zhou Yunshan not catching any fish.
Whether Zhou Yunshan could catch fish was the key to this task!
Without addressing the fundamental problem, no matter what new talisman Jiang Cheng created, it would be useless.
Jiang Cheng carefully examined the structure of the “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman.”
This talisman was quite simple, consisting mainly of two parts.
One was the glowing talisman body “Fluorescence Talisman,” and the other was the “battery” supplying power to it—the Button Spirit Stone.
Yue Linger wasn’t wrong; structurally and functionally, this Fluorescence Talisman indeed was not damaged.
But the changes in the “drop rate program” controlling the fishing success rate was something the indigenous people of the “Immortal Gods” world couldn’t detect.
Being adept at considering problems from the fundamental logic of the “Immortal Gods” world was Jiang Cheng’s advantage as a transmigrator!
While ordinary Talisman Masters were still pondering whether the talisman was damaged, Jiang Cheng was already considering which items could enhance the “fishing success rate.”
Yes.
In “Immortal Gods,” the “draw probability,” also known as “luck,” “destiny,” or “blessing,” can be enhanced.
The simplest way to do this is to spend money.
Top up for a guaranteed win, right?
As long as you spend enough money, you can completely empty the prize pool.
But Jiang Cheng, being a transmigrator, obviously couldn’t perform the act of topping up; he had to make use of the items already present in “Immortal Gods” to increase the “fishing explosion rate.”
Luckily, as a statistician, Jiang Cheng managed the in-game economy by controlling the inflation of aquatic products and maintaining the economic balance of the game society; this was part of his job too.
If Jiang Cheng remembered correctly, there were many items that could make players fish “efficiently,” such as the famous Hero-grade item “AK Fishing Rod·Fire Kirin.”
This rod’s main feature was its supermodel design.
It gave the player an experience like shooting while fishing.
However, this type of fishing rod obviously didn’t meet Jiang Cheng’s needs.
He needed a small and lightweight item to fit into the “Reusable Fluorescent Talisman” he was designing.
The world of “Immortal Gods” was vast, with countless items, and even Jiang Cheng couldn’t remember every single one.
To find a suitable method to improve fishing probability, Jiang Cheng fell into deep thought.
“What are you thinking about?” Liu Qing appeared beside Jiang Cheng.
Since a moment ago, Liu Qing had sensed Jiang Cheng’s troubles.
The gloominess of her friend’s mood made her, someone who enjoyed basking in the sun, unable to feel joy.
She had willingly given up the beautiful afternoon sunlight to sit next to Jiang Cheng, wanting to ask if there was anything that she could help with.
“Say it again,” Jiang Cheng said, looking at Liu Qing.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Say it again.”
Liu Qing blinked and chose to continue trusting Jiang Cheng.
Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a cool breeze on a hot summer’s eve, stirring the chimes beneath the eaves. Discover 𝒏ew chapters at novelbi𝒏(.)co𝒎
“What are you thinking about?” she repeated.
Jiang Cheng clapped his hands together, a lightbulb moment!
“Got it!” he exclaimed.
Got it?
Liu Qing was a bit curious.
She could clearly sense Jiang Cheng’s happiness.
But her curiosity didn’t matter much.
As long as her friend was happy, that was enough for her.
Liu Qing stood up gracefully from beside Jiang Cheng and walked back to her favorite spot on the balcony.
“Liu Qing,” Jiang Cheng called her.
She obligingly looked back at him.
Their gazes met.
One was fervent and tender, the other serene and pure.
“Thank you,” Jiang Cheng said earnestly.
“There’s no need,” Liu Qing shook her head.
She was about to say something more, parting her cherry lips, but seeing Jiang Cheng excitedly lower his head to pick up a pen, she quietly closed her mouth and silently soaked up the sun.
The reason Jiang Cheng was excited was that he had thought of a talisman that would perfectly meet Zhou Yunshan’s needs!
The pen danced in his hand as he crafted a brand new talisman design!
