Chapter 771 - 498: Advancement Success! Mu Qianshan's Plan! (Request for Monthly Tickets)
After the advancement of the Old Master and the Linglong Pagoda, there were no significant changes.
The invincible time of the Linglong Pagoda increased after being destroyed, from three seconds to five seconds.
Besides that, the consumption of Star Power decreased by ten percent.
Nothing else differed.
Besides that, there was the Old Master.
Jiang Yuan originally planned to add one or two skills to the Old Master with a few Material Cards.
However, it did not happen.
Only the overall abilities of the Old Master improved, without gaining even a single skill.
This struck Jiang Yuan as somewhat odd.
So, he directly materialized the Old Master.
"Quality improved?"
The Old Master, slightly surprised, replied, "It seems there's not much of a difference."
"Right, I summoned you because of that."
Jiang Yuan gave a helpless smile. "I was originally going to add a Flames skill to you, or maybe a lifesaving skill."
"But it seems it didn't work out."
"No big deal, if it didn't succeed, then it didn't."
A hint of surprise flashed in the Old Master's eyes, then he smiled and comforted Jiang Yuan: "After all, I'm a non-combatant, aren't I?"
"That is true."
Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly and stopped dwelling on it, for the quality of the card had already improved.
In this world, there's no saying that the quality of a balance-improved card could decrease and then increase again.
"Upgrade me to Golden Quality first."
The Old Master, smiling, waved his hand and then took out the Pill Furnace.
"I'll continue refining elixirs."
That little fellow Mu Qianshan told me that Burst Star Pills might sell explosively, asking me to stock up."
"Burst Star Pills?"
Jiang Yuan was startled and then realized.
Isn't that the elixir Mu Qianshan has been selling without success?
"When did he tell you this?"
"Today."
"Today?"
Jiang Yuan found it strange, Mu Qianshan had said just a couple of days ago that the elixir wouldn't sell, right?
Maybe he has a new marketing strategy?
Although Jiang Yuan was somewhat bewildered, he simply nodded and then left the room.
"How was it? Was the advancement successful?"
"It can be considered successful, I guess?"
Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly.
Although the advancement was successful, he felt a lack of a sense of accomplishment.
Besides the enhancement in capabilities, nothing else about the Old Master's card improved.
Not even compared to the Linglong Pagoda.
It was already said that the Pagoda's improvement extent seemed small.
But then the Old Master came up with a surprise.
Life is hard, Jiang Yuan sighed.
"It's good as long as it was successful."
Mu Qianshan also felt relieved, assuming all goes well, after tomorrow's competition, that elixir would sell explosively.
If the advancement had failed, although the Old Master wouldn't disappear, if his mindset were affected, that would be troublesome.
"What did the Old Master mean by saying the Burst Star Pills will sell big?"
"Exactly what it sounds like."
Mu Qianshan smiled: "I plan to use the elixir during tomorrow's finals, in front of everyone, to let them know this elixir has no side effects!"
Saying it has no side effects is actually false.
There are still side effects.
The characteristic of this elixir lies in enhancing one's Star Power quality.
Just like when Star Power is unstable, the effects of using cards would be somewhat worse.
After using this elixir, the effects of using cards will perform better.
Of course, it doesn't completely lack side effects, but the side effects are relatively minor.
After use, the Star Power will be slightly unstable for three minutes.
After using it three times consecutively, the instability affects the Star Power so if not using Burst Star Pills then, the card power would decrease.
After using it three times, using the Burst Star Pill again restores the power to what it was before using it.
It means its pros and cons negate each other.
But even after continuous usage three times, the Star Power instability only needs a night of earnest cultivation to be perfectly resolved.
The reason for claiming it has no side effects is purely for marketing purposes.
Theoretically, the elixir indeed has no side effects.
Continuous use three times only causes nine minutes of Star Power instability.
Using it once causes an instability that does not affect card usage.
This world's will does not count that as a side effect.
Meaning, within one battle, using the Burst Star Pill less than three times, not using it the third time, after exiting that battle space, in the next battle continue using two, not the third.
This cycle, it almost equates to having no side effects.
It's like exploiting a bug in the world's will.
Turned out, no one believed it.
Thus, Mu Qianshan decided to demonstrate it personally tomorrow.
"The finals? The finals might not quite work."
Jiang Yuan, after hearing Mu Qianshan's plan, shook his head slightly.
"In the finals, everyone with elixirs would use them, when their own power doesn't match their opponent's."
"Oh, right!"
Mu Qianshan suddenly slapped his thigh, startling the nearby Nezha and the two Golden Crows.
"Almost forgot that."
"Let's start using from the top hundred matches tomorrow, or directly start using it amongst the top hundred."
"Use the elixir in every match, so they'll know that the elixir I'm using has no side effects."
Mu Qianshan, excited, looked at Jiang Yuan, giving him a thumbs up.
"Indeed, it still requires others; Mu Qianshan No.2 and I think the same, even our oversights are identical, didn't even consider this aspect."
