Chapter 540 The Tide Never Returns: An Extremely Difficult Choice
As the man opened the treasure chest.

The space's notification sound also rang out at the right time.

You have unlocked the [Deep Sea Treasure] (rewards maximized).

You can choose one of the following two benefits.

Option 1: Key Techniques for Dismemberment

Do you want to view detailed information about this income item?

With a thought, Fang Yi accessed the information on this simple, unadorned turquoise skill scroll.

Then it appeared before the man's eyes.
-
Key points of dismemberment

Item Category: Extended Completion Skill Scroll

(Note: This type of skill scroll is formed by expanding and supplementing the incomplete knowledge acquired by the space through the killing of monsters.)
Prerequisites: None
Skill effect:
[Weakness Identification]

When dealing with fleshy creatures.

If we can obtain information about the structure and some characteristics of this organism.

Or they have a high level of knowledge about this organism.

It can detect and deduce the 'weakness' that can cause huge benefits and additional damage when an attack hits.
-
Dismemberment

You can more easily cut off and separate the limbs of fleshy creatures.

You hit the enemy's attack.

If successful, the other party will be rendered disabled.

It will additionally inflict negative effects on enemies, such as [body imbalance, greatly reduced healing speed, and limb disorder].

The specific effects may vary depending on the specific circumstances.
-
Summary:
The knowledge of killing and dismembering monsters was imprinted from the brains of the slain fishmen.

The skill was generated after adding some relevant knowledge to expand and complete it.

Evaluation:

It is simple, unpretentious, and relatively difficult to obtain.

But it's a skill that works quite well.
-
Clearly, this [skill] is for mercenaries who fight against murlocs.

The culprit behind the persistently high rates of death, injury, and disability.

This was also before the man's battle.

The plan is to use some [Scrolls of the Dead] to try and get the 'Critical Damage' stat from the [Fishman Swordsman].

It seems to be because of the high level of difficulty involved, with little room for adjustment.

The space has been generously completed and evolved.

Based on the original techniques, they underwent an evolution, merging, and completion.

This greatly expands the scope of skill application.

If you choose this reward.

This would allow men to slightly break free from the limitations of being 'humanoid beings' in the [Human Body Workshop].

At the same time, it can also be associated with [Legend] [The Perfect Frankenstein].

The skills [Dissection of Different Bodies] and [Jointing of Different Limbs], which are used to acquire materials, are linked together.

However, Fang Yi did not immediately choose the skill scroll.

Instead, they looked at another option.

Or rather, a white skill scroll that faintly exudes a bloody aura.

For once, the man seemed hesitant.

Option Two: Blood Oath
-
[A blood oath]

Skill Category: Extended Evolution Skill Scroll

(Note: This type of skill scroll is formed by extracting the core characteristics of the prototype skill from space, and then expanding and evolving it.)
Skill learning prerequisites:
1. Possessing a talent or achievement that increases trust.

2. Possesses the ability to [buff friendly creatures].

Skill effect:
Blood Oath

The skill user will possess non-humanoid monster blood of a certain value.

When you put it in your mouth or apply it to the corners of your mouth.

In a short period of time, it will greatly increase the persuasiveness and credibility of one's words.

It is easier to obtain assistance from creatures that are relatively neutral, less hostile, and friendly.

The specific effect is affected by the quality of the monster's blood consumed by the skill user and the content of their own speech.
-
【Blood Alliance】

The user of this skill can consume blood from specific parts of their body to create a "blood medium".

With the other party's consent and after explaining the effects of the skill.

The opponent drinks the skill user's [blood medium].

You can mark friendly creatures with flesh and blood and souls to form a [Blood Alliance].
-
If the user of the skill is harmed or negatively affected.

This allows you to form a [Blood Alliance].

To share some of the damage and negative impact with themselves.

If a creature that has formed a blood pact is damaged.

The skill user can also choose to share a certain amount of damage and negative effects with the [Blood Alliance] target.

Description:

1. You may mark or have up to three friendly creatures with flesh and soul at the same time and form a Blood Pact.

2. [Blood Alliance] Maximum Distributable Limit and Specific Effects.

It is affected by a variety of factors, including the trust level of the Blood Alliance member towards the skill user, their own strength, and the time since the Blood Alliance was formed.
-
Summary:
This is from the 'blessing' received by four fish-men who are somewhat strangely like a four-body entity.

The extracted knowledge serves as a blueprint.

It is a completely new skill that has been obtained by combining knowledge of similar skills and extending and evolving them.
-
Evaluation:

It is said that if one can exchange and drink each other's 'blood' which contains trust, it will be possible.

And a 'ritual' is performed.

They can then sense each other's location.

To further share the pain and calamity we suffer.
-
This gain is due to the fact that the four people killed were somewhat special.

Specialized drops from the [Murloc Swordmaster], who has a special connection with each other.

The [Extraordinary Gravity] can enhance a man's most core ability.

This makes it easier to further 'get free' skills.

At the same time, it is also very suitable for men to use their own "persona role-playing method" to consolidate the 'persona' they want to create.

This makes it easier to obtain assistance.

The ability of [Blood Alliance] to share damage and [Echo of Trust] can stack.

On another level, it's also a 'damage immunity' ability that perfectly suits men with low health.

Think for a moment.

When the man glanced at the description in the "Dismemberment Manual"—"Knowledge of killing and dismembering monsters imprinted from the brains of slain merfolk"—he realized that there was a good chance of finding the "Dismemberment Manual" again in this 'dungeon'.

Fang Yi then reached for the blood-stained scroll, "Blood Oath."

Grab it and crush it instantly.

While the young swordsman was cleaning up the battlefield and the old man was recuperating, they took advantage of the moment.

While familiarizing themselves with the skills.

They walked towards the wreckage of the Giant Claw Tidebreaker.

Before researching how to preserve the Forgotten Coral.

He still has the [Tide-Sweeping Giant Claw] that hasn't been split.

Considering the limited time, Fang Yi took out the surgical kit given to him by Miss Merlin.

He squatted down.

While activating the [Hundred Solutions to Form Refinement], he also started using a simple 'cheat'.

"[Human Elixir Method] Please consume 'fuel' to evaluate my proposed [material division] plan."

You need to pay.

A short while later, after consuming some 'fuel'.

Before the man's eyes appeared a weapon called "Steel Hard Tide-Sweeping Giant Claws".

There are also special alchemical materials with the suffix "(Boss Hunted)" indicating they are top-quality items.

【Tide-Raiding Giant Claws】(Hunted by the Boss)

Quality: Tier 2 Legendary (Normal separation, perfect processing)
Durability: 1779/2000
Common effects:

1. Forging materials

After further disassembly and peeling off the shell.

A certain number of shells are used when making equipment such as armor and shields.

This will grant the [Steel Hardness] attribute to forged equipment.
-
[Steel Hard]

Significantly reduce the impact of low and high temperatures on equipment performance.

It significantly reduces the kinetic energy transfer that affects its own movement during a collision.

Significantly reduces the durability loss of equipment upon collision.

When equipment comes into contact with energy-based attacks, it will absorb or neutralize a portion of the energy.
-
2. Consumables.

After disassembling and peeling off the shell.

Holding the shell allows you to choose to consume shells with a durability value of at least 200.

It temporarily and significantly enhances its own resistance to attacks and its protective capabilities.

Limited to once every 24 hours.
-
3. Specialty transplantation and implant fabrication.

After disassembling and separating the two special pieces of flesh from the crab claw.

You can go to the Sanatorium to seek assistance from the Plague Doctor.

Consumes a certain amount of [Training Points] and a portion of flesh and blood.

Gain the temporary trait [Flowing Steel].

Alternatively, a portion of flesh and blood can be consumed to create an "implant" endowed with multiple characteristics and traits.

Once the [Implant] achieves an 80% fit, the special quality [Flowing Steel] will be obtained.
-
【Flowing Steel】

Slightly increase swimming speed.

And the speed of travel in water-rich environments.

When using limbs to launch an attack, additional impact force will be applied to the enemy.

When subjected to physical attacks, it will be exempt from and offset some of the impact force.

When attacked by magic, it will absorb some energy, slightly reducing the damage of the attack.

When its body is damaged, it can autonomously isolate itself from certain areas.

To prevent the injury from spreading.
-
4. Repair materials.

Similar to armor plates or clock gears, there is a possibility that a component with metallic properties may be damaged.

After grinding the shells into powder.

It can consume the corresponding [Durability] shell powder to repair damaged metal parts of equipment of quality no higher than [Tier 2 Legendary].

A perfect repair was performed.

It can also consume some damaged parts and a large amount of shell powder.

Forging a part that retains its original characteristics and a slight "flowing steel" property completes the repair.
-
Compared to the previous ambiguous and unclear effects of [Siren's Tears], this is a significant improvement.

The way this material is used is obviously very clear and straightforward.

Forging consumes shell material.

This will add the superordinate stat "Sturdy" to the forged equipment, specifically the "Rigid" stat.

Considering the gain from reducing kinetic energy transfer.

Using it to forge shields, armor, and gauntlets would be the best choice.

The returns will be very high.

Shells ground into powder are also an excellent all-purpose repair agent.

When necessary, it can even be used like the [Serpent Scale] in the original game to 'cancel an attack'.

They use their shells as consumables to protect themselves.

The flesh and blood in the crab claws are a rare material that can impart a powerful quality called "Flowing Steel".

If you're willing to take some risks, you can try to obtain [physical modification] services, which are unstable and carry certain risks, through the [sanatorium] in the town.

Alternatively, one could return to the space to find an alchemist who is as skilled in physical modification as a man.

You can also obtain Flowing Steel by performing [physical modification] or making it into an [implant].

As for men...

The crab claw contains precious flesh and blood with potential for "body modification".

It can be devoured and recorded by [Divine Blood].

And this will be repeatedly manifested in the subsequent [physical modification].

Wholesale materials that imbue other reincarnators with the [Flowing Steel] trait.

This can be offered as a 'high-priced project' to clients who accept physical modifications.

To earn and exchange more resources for oneself.

However, this obviously happened after we returned to the space.

Fang Yi threw the [Steel Hard Tide-Sweeping Giant Claw] (captured by the leader) back into his personal space.

They looked towards the priceless [Forgotten Coral].
