095. Fallen Leaves Bring News, Where Are You, Mei-bi?
What Li Aozi showed the players wasn't just the DM-101 Calamity experimental reagent used in Gulant; after all, given Tianhuan's productivity, they couldn't afford such an expensive reagent in the short term.
"This here is the XDM-101, a new mutation-inducing reagent I've prepared for you. It can awaken your Omega Energy, and it's relatively cheap. Most importantly, it accelerates the effectiveness of the reagent, so you don't need to worry about the cost."
Li Aozi took out a ginger-colored reagent from the biopool, gently shaking it, and red-black shadows rippled through the vial's walls.
"Of course... the cheaper cost comes with a price—its instability increases as well. You'll endure extreme pain, and there's no guarantee you'll awaken a high-level Omega Energy."
The players didn't understand Omega Energy ratings, so they didn't see a problem. Li Aozi's pricing was very affordable, perfectly suited for trying one's luck every now and then. If they happened to awaken a great Omega Energy, that would be fantastic.
But then, Li Aozi's next words stirred something deep in their DNA:
"Though the chances are unstable, I've roughly figured out a pattern: every 10 consecutive awakenings will guarantee a rare Omega Energy. Every 50 consecutive awakenings will guarantee a high-level Omega Energy. Every 100 consecutive awakenings will guarantee a high-level rare Omega Energy..."
Yan Wang grinned, "A gacha system with pity pulls?"
"Even if you awaken a useless Omega Energy, it doesn't matter. As a 【Mutant】, I'll teach you how to crush the genetic sequence of Omega Energy, gather the genetic fragments, and use them to feed the powerful Omega Energies you like."
Old Blind twitched, "Card fodder system?"
"Of course, if you think your Omega Energy isn't strong enough, I'm something of a capable 【Mutant】 myself. I'm quite confident in my own Omega Energy—if you don't mind, I can sacrifice part of my strength to rent my Omega Energy to you."
South Pole Penguin clutched his wallet in terror, "It's a pay-to-win game!"
Although the leaders of the three guilds had nothing to say about Li Aozi's methods, their bodies were honest enough to accept his offer.
The cheap XDM series was an excellent entry-level substitute, perfect for newcomers, and Omega Energy didn't interfere with future career progression. Some had already chosen 【Martial Artist】 but could still add 【Physical Enhancement】 Omega Energy to become even tougher.
After buying Li Aozi's reagent, the players noticed the biopool was still synthesizing some mysterious reagents. Li Aozi, acting mysteriously, said, "These are only for sale to warriors I recognize."
Such remarks, along with the cheap entry-level items he offered earlier, convinced people that Li Aozi definitely had some high-quality goods in stock.
For this reason, players from the three guilds gathered to discuss intensely.
"What do you all think? Should we take the quest or not?"
"Take it."
"But if we take it, this is harder than an A-level quest. Are you ready to die instantly?"
"Then don't take it."
"But if we don't, there are still plenty of resources left to uncover."
To be precise, it wasn't about whether to take the quest or not, because clearly, Li Aozi was doing a bundled sale.
