Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 499 Final Interpretation
A-level cursed item [Sublimation Gem] can be used without activation.

Privilege 1: Ascendant Power

The level of a cursed item can be forcibly increased, but the highest level is limited to B.

This item can only be used on cursed objects.

Privilege 2: Sacrifice the Treasure

If a special method is used for sacrifice, the item's effect can be maximized, unleashing power beyond imagination.

Xiao Ran stood in front of the door and carefully looked at the attribute entries of this thing, and couldn't help but frowned.

“It’s different from what I thought.”

Although this thing is an A-level cursed item and can forcibly increase the level of a cursed item, it would be a lie to say that it is not powerful.

But the problem is that this thing can only upgrade the cursed item to B level.

It seems that the real way to use it is to make a sacrifice, but I don’t know exactly how to make the sacrifice, and what effect will the sacrifice have?
Speaking of which, including this thing, I already have two A-level cursed objects in my hands.

That [dorm manager's pen] is still lying in the space, gathering dust.

It's not that the thing is bad, it's just that my professional ability is not quite compatible with this pen.

I didn't understand the pen yet, but now a gem has appeared.

Xiao Ran stood in the yard, looking depressed.

"Boom!"

At this time, the sound of a gong woke Xiao Ran up. Turning back, he saw Li Ji standing by the door, holding the gong and looking at him with a smile.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a while."

Li Ji was the first person Xiao Ran met when he entered the maze city, and he could even be said to be Xiao Ran's guide.

Xiao Ran felt very friendly towards Li Ji and greeted him immediately when he saw him.

Li Ji leaned against the door with a smile on his face, folded his arms, and stretched out one hand: "Let me see."

"what?"

"Baby, I just saw it." Li Ji glanced at the gem in Xiao Ran's hand.

"Oh, this."

Xiao Ran handed the gemstone in his hand over directly, but Li Ji did not take it. Instead, he looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with it? The value of this thing is not ordinary."

Xiao Ran grinned when he heard that and handed the thing over generously.

"If you need it, Brother Li, it's no problem to give it to you."

Using a stone to exchange for Li Ji's favor, Xiao Ran thought this deal was a win-win situation. Li Ji was too mysterious. He kept shuttling back and forth in those trial mazes. Many beginners passed the trial with his help.

I am no exception, which is enough to show that Li Ji's strength is extraordinary.

Besides, his family now lives under the jurisdiction of Li Ji. This big brother is here to protect him, which is more effective than any curse.

"Hahahaha, I can hear your little abacus even if I cover my ears."

Li Ji laughed and pointed at Xiao Ran, then took the gem in his hand, looked at it carefully, and shook his head and said, "This thing is a treasure, but you..."

At this point, Li Ji glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "This thing won't work in your hands. If you like, use a cursed item to strengthen it. As for the sacrifice later, forget about it."

Li Ji returned the things to Xiao Ran and prepared to leave.

"Brother Li!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran hurriedly called out to him. It was rare to have someone as understanding as Li Ji, and Xiao Ran couldn't let him go easily.

"Anything else?"

"Brother Li, don't bother two people with one thing. I have another thing here. Can you help me see how to use it? I have never been able to figure it out."

"What is that? Take it out and let me see it."

Li Ji was also curious and wondered what new things Xiao Ran could come up with.

Xiao Ran took out the [dorm manager's pen] from the space and put it in his hand. In an instant, Li Ji's eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popped out, and he rushed forward to reach out to take it.

But when his hands were in front of his eyes, he suddenly stopped, and instead held Xiao Ran's hands and closed his palms: "You don't know what's good for you. You can't take this thing out easily! Put it away quickly."

Li Ji glanced around at the empty houses, his expression becoming complicated: "Let's go inside and talk."

Xiao Ran saw Li Ji's nervous expression. Although he was full of doubts, it was better if Li Ji was willing to come home.

So he hurriedly took Li Ji into the house.

At this moment, Wu Man had just come downstairs and was stunned when he saw Li Ji.

Li Ji glanced at Wu Man and said, "Hey, you're here too."

Wu Man looked at Xiao Ran, then at Li Ji, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he turned around and went upstairs, then closed the door and never came out again.

"Do you know each other?" Xiao Ran didn't know what was wrong with Wu Man, so he could only look at Li Ji in confusion.

Li Ji smiled and did not mention the reason. He just said, "This kid is improving much faster than you."

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Xiao Ran stopped asking and took Li Ji to his room, closed the door, and then took out the pen again.

This time, Li Ji carefully took the pen in his hand and looked at it carefully. "It seems that you solved the school problem."

The school that Li Ji was referring to was naturally the Seventh Middle School. That place was transformed by the Changchun Society into their industrial zone. It would be strange if the natives like Li Ji said they did not hate the Changchun Society.

So when he saw this pen, Li Ji looked at Xiao Ran with more and more affection.

"lucky."

Xiao Ran scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

In fact, it was indeed a fluke. The Seventh Middle School was regarded as a key asset by the Changchun Association. If it were in the past, there would definitely be experts in charge.

Once he finds out that someone has touched the truth, he will take action personally.

But it happened that the original person in charge of the school at that time was 3D master Doujiao, but he was transferred away due to other things and was replaced by the weaker Pumpkin.

But Doujiao had tampered with Pumpkin's contract, causing the ghosts to retaliate, which gave him a chance.

So speaking of this matter, I was indeed lucky.

If there had not been a rift within the Changchun Society, with open and covert fighting and mutual sabotage, he would have died in the Seventh Middle School long ago.

"This thing is the school's treasure, but it can only be used if it is compatible with the Storyteller path. If you don't have that path, it's hard to truly control the power of this thing."

[Storyteller] is a C-level profession in the F-level [Good Speech] path, which is completely unrelated to Xiao Ran's profession.

"So, this thing is useless in my hands?"

Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel disappointed, after all, it was an A-level cursed object.

Li Ji saw his lost look and said with a smile: "Let me help you, as a thank you for helping the school out. But let me make it clear, this is only once, and it won't happen again."

"what to do??"

Xiao Ran was surprised and happy, and didn't know how Li Ji was going to help her.

"Give me the gem just now."

Xiao Ran didn't know what Li Ji was going to do, but he took out the gem anyway.

Li Ji held a fountain pen and said to Xiao Ran, "Get ready and feel the horror of the A-level curse."

As he said this, the dark blue spell pattern on Li Ji's arm flashed and gradually entangled with the pen.

Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared on the pen.

Li Ji frowned, as if activating the pen itself was very difficult. Xiao Ran even noticed that the flesh on his fingers was rapidly disintegrating, turning into sand-like dust and falling off his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ji lightly tapped the [Sublimation Gem] with the pen in his hand. The golden light seemed to merge into the gem, and then a strong light burst out on the gem.

"Meow!!"

At this moment, the white cat suddenly opened its eyes and stared straight at Xiao Ran's door.

Upstairs, Sister Liu was shocked when she saw the coffin hanging in the air above her head was shaking. She quickly jumped onto the coffin and pressed it down.

Wu Man had already walked out of the door. Looking at the wisps of golden light flowing out from the crack of the door of Xiao Ran's room, a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

The whole house seemed to be shaking.

Qiu Kui covered his ears in pain, feeling as if he was about to be annihilated along with the house.

Fortunately, the pain came quickly, and in less than a blink of an eye, the strong light was quickly extinguished.

"Boom!!"

The pen fell onto the table along Li Ji's fingers.

"Brother Li!"

Xiao Ran ignored the pen and looked at Li Ji. He saw that Li Ji's face was frighteningly pale, and the fingers that had been holding the pen were now only bones.

Li Ji waved his hand, signaling Xiao Ran not to worry, then picked up the pen again and carefully closed the cap. He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really too much of a stretch, but at least I've given you an explanation."

As he said this, he motioned for Xiao Ran to pick up the [Sublimation Orb] on the table.

[You found an A-level cursed item, the sublime gem! ]

Xiao Ran took a closer look but couldn't see any difference, which made him wonder if Li Ji had failed.

Just when he was confused, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This works too!!!"

All the entries on the [Sublimation Gem] remained the same as before.

But the above entry has completely changed.

Privilege 1: Ascendant Power

The level of a cursed item can be forcibly increased, but the highest level is limited to A level.

This item can only be used on cursed objects.

Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things, and looked at it again. The effect was indeed changed from B grade to A grade, but there was a little more ink on the side, covering up the original B grade word.

"This is where this thing is powerful. It has no combat capabilities and cannot give you the ability to fly into the sky or hide underground, but it has the ability to change the cursed item's ability entry, which is..."

Li Ji narrowed his eyes and said those five words to Xiao Ran meaningfully: "Final interpretation rights!"
