Fortunately, there was Phantom, who knew everything. She explained to Ye Qiu," Soul Crystals are the crystallization of the soul. Not only are they the source of energy in the Card World, but they are also the only hard currency in the Card World. Soul Crystals have many uses. Buying materials and weapons are just the most basic functions. Most importantly, Soul Crystals must be used to upgrade the star level of the card.”
“........”
Phantasmal Shadow continued,"It takes 100 Soul Crystals to evolve from a star-less card to a one-star card. It takes 1000 Soul Crystals to evolve from a one-star card to a two-star card, and so on. For every one-star upgrade, the number of Soul Crystals consumed will increase tenfold.”
Ye Qiu's mouth fell open, and he said in surprise,"If I want to evolve into a Nine-star Rainbow Card, wouldn't I need 10 billion Soul Crystals?”
10 billion. He only got five Soul Crystals after completing a side mission. This meant that even if he left this world, he would only be able to evolve one card to one-star.
"If only it was that simple.”Phantasmal Shadow once again gave Ye Qiu an epiphany." Relying on Soul Crystals to upgrade the card level can only last until the six-star red card. As for the seven-star silver card and the even more precious eight-star gold card, in addition to consuming a large number of Soul Crystals, they also require special materials to complete the upgrade. Gathering Soul Crystals is often the easiest to complete, but the difficulty lies in the materials."”
“...”Ye Qiu didn't know what to say. Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
"Don't think too much. It's better for you not to know so much now. Work hard to complete the mission. I've already said that you have the talent and courage to become a top-notch expert.”
"I understand." Ye Qiu clenched his fists.
Ye Qiu didn't take a good look at the equipment he had picked up earlier. While he was waiting, he quickly opened the space and carefully checked the items inside.
He lost more than 50 copper coins, a shiny greatsword, and a full-body armor.
Fine Steel Greatsword (Pale Weapon)
[Level: 1]
[Attack: 3-5]
Fine Steel Armor (Pale Weapon)
[Level: 1]
[Defense: 5]
Ye Qiu put it on, and its attributes immediately changed.
[Name: Ye Qiu]
[Level: 1]
[HP: 220]
[True Qi: 220]
[Attack: 25-27]
[Defense: 25]
Avoidance: 22
Because of Phantom's influence, Ye Qiu's stats had changed greatly. Not only did his basic stats double, but every time he leveled up, the additional stats also doubled.
For a normal newbie, every level would increase 10 HP and 10 True Energy, and the Free Attribute would only be one point.
On the other hand, every time Ye Qiu leveled up, he gained 20 HP and 20 True Qi, as well as two free attribute points. Moreover, these two free attribute points were forcefully added to Agility.
Phantom was an Agility-based Warrior, and under her influence, Ye Qiu had also become an Agility Warrior. 1 point of Agility not only increased 1 point of Evasion and 1m/s Speed, but also increased one point of Attack Power. This was the same as the Attack Power obtained by adding Strength. The result of this situation was that not only was Ye Qiu's attack power formidable, but his speed and dodging were also extremely abnormal.
Ye Qiu waited at the entrance of Wang's Steamed Bun Shop for quite a while. He thought that the old man would not admit it after taking the item. He hadn't received the quest reward yet. The reward just now was given by the system, but the old man's reward hadn't been given yet.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Old Man Wang finally came out. Although his face was still full of sadness, he was much better than before. Presumably, his daughter's revenge had been avenged, and his heart was much more comfortable.
"Little brother, thank you. Thank you so much for fulfilling my wish.”Old Man Wang walked to Ye Qiu's side and thanked him profusely. Then, he handed the steamer in his hand to Ye Qiu and said,"Little brother, this old man is poor and has nothing to thank you for. This is a hot steamed bun that has just been steamed. If you don't mind, take it and eat it!”
Seeing this Steamed Meat Bun, Ye Qiu subconsciously thought of a phrase: "Human Meat Bun."
Did this old man use that head to make meat buns? Ye Qiu thought weakly. Then, he looked at the steamer and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the system had introduced it.
[Steamed Bun: Reduce hunger by 10 points after use.]
Although it wasn't anything good, it was indeed what Ye Qiu needed right now. His hunger had already reached 50%, and he was really hungry.
He took the steamed buns, picked them up, and poured them into his mouth. They had just come out of the steamer, and they tasted really good.
Ye Qiu ate with relish. When his hunger level returned to zero, he saw that Old Man Wang didn't react, so he sat on the threshold and smoked again. "Grandpa, do you have any other difficulties?" Ye Qiu asked hurriedly.”
As expected, just as Ye Qiu asked this question, a yellow exclamation mark appeared above Old Man Wang's head. This was a sign that a mission was about to be issued.
Old Man Wang exhaled a mouthful of smoke and sighed."Little brother, you might not know this, but Grand Preceptor Dong is going to get married tomorrow. In order to make the wedding grand, Grand Preceptor has gathered almost all the people of the early Ming Dynasty in the city. This old man's Xiaolongbao is also considered a specialty in Luoyang City, so I was also invited. However, this old man's daughter has just died, so how can I still have the mood to steam the buns? So…"
Hearing this, Ye Qiu was delighted and hurriedly said,"Sir, I can help you!"
"You?" Old Man Wang looked at Ye Qiu suspiciously and said,"You know how to steam buns?"
"Can you teach me?" Ye Qiu said,"Steaming buns isn't difficult. I think with my intelligence, it should be easy to learn. This way, I can go to the Grand Preceptor's residence in your place."”
Old Man Wang's old eyes suddenly lit up, and then he clapped his hands and shouted,"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? " That's right, let's do it this way. My only daughter is dead, so I can't let this steamed bun technique go to waste. Little brother, since you want to learn it, I'll teach you. However, you only have one night. Do you have the patience to stay up all night?"”
"Of course!" Ye Qiu agreed without hesitation. It was just staying up late. It was not a big deal." Please teach me, sir. I will definitely learn seriously."”
Old Man Wang nodded and led Ye Qiu in.
The old man taught him step by step, and Ye Qiu read and learned seriously without any hesitation. After spending the entire night, Ye Qiu finally received a system notification at dawn.
"Ding. God's Chosen One Ye Qiu, you have learned a life skill: Chef!"
After the system converted the Steamed Bun skill into the Chef class, Ye Qiu gained another skill.
[Chef: Beginner, Upgradeable.] Consumes 1 point of True Qi to cook all kinds of ingredients into all kinds of delicious food. [Cooldown time: 5 seconds]
Soup Dumplings Recipe: Rice x1, Rice Wine x1, Pork x1
Ye Qiu could only make soup dumplings because he only had the recipe for them.
