Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 116 The Choice of Inheritance

Fortunately, he has a talent for uncovering secrets.

Otherwise, I would really miss out on this hidden legacy.

But how did they come up with the idea of breaking open the portal?
Does this mean we should maintain a fighting mentality even when facing a harmless portal?

God of War... you're pretty crazy.

But is there any danger in this hidden inheritance?

Peeping into secrets can reveal what is hidden and how to open it, but it doesn't know whether what is hidden is dangerous.

This made the usually cautious Lu Cang hesitate.

Let's develop steadily, and not have this legacy?
No... According to the design of the God of War, no one will die in the Battle Arena, nor in the God of War Tower.

Moreover, what's hidden is inheritance, not a death trap.

"No... better to be careful."

After all, challenges are not necessarily safe.

Lu Cang did not make a decision immediately.

Instead, they sat down right there in front of the portal.

I retrieved "Introduction to the Gods" and "On the God of War" from the space and began to read them.

After quietly reading the two books, I roughly understand that they bestowed upon the world magnificent battle spectacles.

Furthermore, it seems that many trials and tribulations have been left behind in the world.

As for its personality or details regarding its lineage, there are no records.

……

About an hour later, Lu Cang was still in the same place.

Reflect on the battle that just took place.

Reflecting on the characteristics of this monster, can we gain any insights?

Oh.

flesh……

The spell "Flesh and Blood Remodeling".

It should not only be used to reshape the body, but also to heal some injuries...

However, using magic to heal injuries involves the realm of life itself.

The boundaries of life are very strict, and to this day, no magic has the effect of healing.

Only healing sorcerers have the means to heal.

Besides that, it's just taking medicine.

As for why there is no healing magic... Lu Cang had also thought about this question. Because he was a transmigrator, he felt that healing should also fall under the category of magic before he transmigrated.

Unlike the people of this world, who have the preconceived notion that magic and healing are completely separate, how could magic possibly heal?
Finally, when asked by Izzy, Izzy was surprised that Lu Cang would have such an idea, and at the same time, he gave Lu Cang a special answer.

Powers that concern life.

Do not cross the line unless permitted.

The answer wasn't very clear, but I roughly knew that it was probably related to some so-called god.

That's beyond my control.

……

Having mentally replayed the battle, Lu Cang stared at the door before him, deep in thought.

"I should have had a fortune told."

If I were to exit now...

Will this hidden entrance still be there when I come back later?

"Even if I don't acquire this inheritance, I still have foreseeable growth potential..."

Is my life destined to fail simply because I missed out on inheriting a legacy?
With so many inheritances in the world that I cannot obtain, wouldn't I be a complete failure?

Finally, Lu Cang stood up and shook his head.

"Gain and loss are determined by fate; the mind remains unchanged."

"Follow my heart..."

They walked directly into the portal without choosing to break it.

Passing through the portal, you enter a pure white space.

Rewards for completing the trials surrounded Lu Cang.

Spellbook, Magic Crystal, Cloud Spirit Wood, Turbid Entangling Silk...

The rewards for the first 60 floors might be quite good for ordinary people, but for Lu Cang, they were really quite ordinary.

Starting from the 70th floor, the rewards become somewhat special.

The reward for level 70 is a book called "The Beginning of Spirituality".

The reward for the 80th floor is "Water of Radiance," which is something that can enhance spirituality.

Floor 90 is the "Fountain of Origin (Tier 3)," a fountain that provides inspiration, but this time it's Tier 3... Looks like I can use it.

Root magic is indeed something that needs to be mastered at every level.

The reward for the 100th floor is called "The Secret History of Battle," which is a book.

Another book...

Why does this God of War like giving away books so much?

Is it because I am a magician?

According to Chi Cheng, the rewards he received for clearing the game were either powerful combat skills, precious materials for forging weapons, or medicine that allowed him to comprehend the ultimate combat techniques.

The reward he received included two books.

However, Lu Cang noticed that there were some hidden secrets in the book "The Secret History of Combat".

Lu Cang put all the rewards into his storage space.

In front of Lu Cang was a stone tablet, on which were engraved the names of many people.

Imina, Yuye, Beatrice, Shanna, Hao Juehao, Bunezes, Diluo, Xiaoyouya, Izparut, Akari, Luluwei.

Surprisingly, quite a few people have managed to clear all 100 floors.

Lu Cang originally thought that not many people would be able to clear the 100th floor.

It seems I just haven't met the truly strong ones yet.

No... well, we did run into them, it was Iz and the others.

Lu Cang sensed that he could either leave his name on the stone tablet in front of him or choose not to.

"Sanna."

"This name..."

Lu Cang remembered the name.

"Storing and Cold Moonlight - Shanna".

Could it be the same person?

"It would be too much of a coincidence if two people had the same name in this matter."

Iz and the others also left their names on this stone tablet, so there probably aren't any pits...

Lu Cang touched the stone tablet and left his name on it.

He glanced back.

Hopefully, it'll still be there when I come back...

Otherwise, let's just consider it a missed opportunity.

It's impossible not to feel regret if you have to give up a hidden legacy.

But it is rash to approach the unknown, the secrets related to God.

This violated Lu Cang's principles of conduct.

If there is a risk that is beyond one's capabilities, one should not take the risk.

This problem is actually a simplified version of the "Unknown Treasure Chest".

An unknown treasure chest is in front of you. The danger of opening the chest is clearly related to the gods. Should you open it?

Perhaps some people will choose to take a gamble.

But Lu Cang chose no.

At the very least, take action only after determining the danger through other means.

The most likely danger Lu Cang could think of was a life-or-death battle... a battle where lives were truly at stake, and the enemy might be terrifyingly strong.

Going into the trial rashly would be too dangerous.

……

They left the Tower of War.

The highest score for clearing the Tower of War is 100.

And on the Tower of War, a name was also engraved—Lu Cang.

Lu Cang glanced back at the tower.

Is this the only purpose of engraving a name?

He wasn't the only one who came out of the Tower of War, but now the area around the Tower of War was packed with people.

It seems like everyone is looking for themselves.

Lu Cang pulled down his hood to conceal his presence, blending into the crowd as an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

As everyone knows, Lu Cang is a child.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man wouldn't attract their attention. He should leave the crowd.

Lu Cang strode toward the library, entered, went straight to the seventh floor, and walked through the maze-like bookshelves.

They knocked on the door of the management office.

The door opened.

Pali was indeed still there, her eyes fixed on the book.

Before Lu Cang could even ask, she had already spoken: "100 million gold coins."

It seems she already knows what she's going to ask.

But Lu Cang still spoke up and asked, "On the 100th floor of the God of War Tower, I discovered the hidden inheritance of the God of War. I want to know if this inheritance is dangerous."

Paris: "Hmm—that's my answer to your question."

It seems she already knows.

What exactly did this Level 6 fortune teller divine?
Parly felt as if she always knew everything, and therefore, the accuracy of her divinations was very reassuring.

It's much better than Ross's method of being right three out of ten times.

If it were completely inaccurate, you could try looking at the results in reverse, but it was accurate three times in a row, making it no different from not having a divination at all.

However, being accurate also has its drawbacks; the fees are too expensive.

one million……

Even Lu Cang felt a pang of regret.

But Lu Cang still separated a money pouch and placed it on Pali's table.

After all, it's a hidden reward after the 100th floor.

This time, Parly didn't just give a casual answer.

Finally, I saw her put away her books and take out a stack of cards from her pocket.

The cards were decorated with patterns I couldn't understand.

Parly shuffled the cards and stacked the entire deck into a pile.

"Pick one at random."

Lu Cang tried to probe the card with his senses, but found that he couldn't penetrate it at all.

Lu Cang stepped forward and touched the topmost card with his hand.

What is the painting?
Oh, I think I recognize it now. It's an abstract painting of Jacqueticto, with a smile on his face.

Lu Cang turned the card over to show Pali.

Paris glanced at it and replied, "Well, then you're lucky."

Pali reached out to take the card back from Lu Cang's hand.

Lu Cang asked, "Pari, may I look at these cards?"

Paris paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Lu Cang took the stack of cards and saw that they depicted abstract images of the gods from "Introduction to the Gods," each with a different expression.

But you can feel a corresponding mood or artistic conception from each card.

Especially that card with the white-haired girl.

It's probably "White of Death and Destruction". Just seeing this card gives off a strong sense of death.

"Oh, this one..."

"If I draw this one, I'm really doomed," Paris commented.

“Hmm… I can tell.” Lu Cang put the ominous card back and returned the entire deck to Pali.

"By the way, Parly."

"I'd like you to help me look at some things."

Lu Cang took out "The Secret History of Combat," a book he had obtained as a reward from the 100th floor.

There is a secret hidden inside the book.

"Hidden Secrets: The Secret History of Battle"

"Hidden Item: A War God's Will; comprehending it allows one to grasp the ultimate essence of combat."

"How to engage: Resonate strongly with the spirit of the book."

Lu Cang flipped through the book, but it was just a story about the God of War's own combat experiences.

If I were to describe what's written inside...

Heh, moaning and groaning...

Honestly, it's hard to resonate with that.

Lu Cang couldn't figure out how he could comprehend the will in the book on his own.

Lu Cang planned to consult Parly, since she was a scholar and should have a lot of experience in reading.

As for why I felt comfortable showing it to Parly.

Firstly, it's because of Izzy's connection.

Secondly, knowing the principles of fortune tellers, and knowing that as a profession that does not actively interfere with the fate of others, they are undoubtedly people with whom one can talk with relative peace of mind.

Thirdly, this is a book, not a consumable item...

"This book……"

Paris paused for a moment, then said, "Let me see it."

Lu Cang handed the book over.

Paris flipped through the book quickly, turning the pages with a simple swipe, and had already finished reading.

"So, what do you want me to do for you?"

Lu Cang: "It contains a will..."

Pali looked up from the book with sleepy eyes and glanced at Lu Cang again: "Oh... it's amazing that you could notice the hidden will in this book."

"You clearly realized that there was a hidden will within it, but you couldn't grasp it. Your attention is quite sharp."

Parly: "This is indeed within the scope of the scholarly profession."

"You've come to the right person."

Lu Cang: "How much?"

"200."

"what?"

Parly lowered her gaze to the book cover: "You should know what this will means."

"Warriors reach the pinnacle by comprehending the ultimate essence of combat, just as you mages comprehend the source."

"Although you didn't personally comprehend this ultimate combat skill, it is still one of your most precious insights."

"Two million gold coins shouldn't be much for you, right?"

Pali stroked the book cover, her tone full of seduction.

Lu Cang's lips twitched slightly.

So she took out another money bag and placed it on Parly's table.

Knowing a fortune teller is a bottomless pit.

It feels like no amount of money is enough to burn for the fortune teller.

After accepting the money, Parly smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone your secret."

"Just as I wouldn't reveal other customers' secrets."

“Unless someone mentions you and asks me to divine related matters… based on the principles of fate, I also have to divine for them.”

Parly, if you don't say the last word.

I still think you're pretty reliable.

"But if you are willing to pay an extra confidentiality fee, it would be considered that you have taken the initiative to interfere with your future destiny of being divined, and I can only avoid other people's questions based on the contract."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cang's lips twitched again.

"Damn fortune teller..." Lu Cang cursed inwardly.

He asked, "How much?"

"The fixed price is 1000 million gold coins. Of course, paying in full at once might be a bit too much."

"So there is another payment option. From now on, if you ask me to do a divination, you will have to pay double the divination fee until you have paid ten million."

……

profiteer.

I've never seen anyone so heartless.

Fortune tellers make a lot of money, it's really lucrative.

Lu Cang cursed inwardly, but smiled on his face: "Then, Sister Pali, I choose the second payment method. Please keep this a secret from now on."

Both were ten million, but Lu Cang still decided to choose installment payments.

Anyway, there's no interest.

Lu Cang understood that interest-free loans were essentially free money.

Parly nodded slightly in agreement.

Lu Cang sensed that some kind of contract had just been formed in the dark.

"Since it's agreed..."

With a slight lift of her hand, a wooden chair appeared beside her.
