God's Path: I Can Create A Lot Of Cheats Through Mutation-Chapter 51 - The Treasure’s Upgrade

It was a little past two in the afternoon when Ling Yi, who had just woken up, walked to the living room and pulled a chair over to sit by the window.

While enjoying the peaceful afternoon, he leisurely opened his rucksack.

If he could see the information of the nameless skill with his newly purchased [Eye of Truth], what would he see if he looked at other items or treasures?

With this in mind, he activated the [Eye of Truth] and scanned the items in his rucksack.

He immediately noticed something unusual.

Under the descriptions of the treasured Medicine Wolf King Soul, the special skill [Howling Wind], and the [Flaming Demon Body], an additional line of text had not been there before.

[Wolf King’s Soul (Special)]: The soul of the Grassland Wolf King.

(Wolf King’s Soul + the soul of the four Beast Kings of the main road → Resplendent Spirit)

[Howling Wind (6 Stars) (Special)]: … 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

(Howling Wind + Great Storm → Wind God’s Call)

[Flaming Demon Body (7 Stars) (Special) (Passive)]:…

(Flaming Demon Body + Lava True Body → Raging Flame True Body)

“Oh?”

Ling Yi immediately understood that this was the item’s hidden information.

The five Boss’ Souls could be combined into one, forming something called the “Resplendent Spirit.”

And this skill…

‘There’s actually a fixed fusion formula for skills?‘

Ling Yi remembered that God’s Path’s fusion function was to fuse skills randomly. Wasn’t this contradictory?

After thinking for a while, there’s a niggling feeling that something is wrong.

God’s Path never explained any of these formula functions. There were no treasures, support, or skill fusion formula function guides.

All the information he knew about the ‘skill fusion’ function had been gathered by other players over the past 20 years.

Thinking deeper, he felt a trace of abnormality.

‘If there’s really a fixed formula, then someone must have gotten some right and tried it at least a billion times. Even if it’s a coincidence, someone would have discovered this. It’s odd that nobody even posts about the theory of this possibility….‘

‘Can maybe… This fixed fusion formula only worked for a very small number of skills?‘

In order to verify his thoughts, Ling Yi went to the trading market and used the [Eye of Truth] to check the skills being sold.

It took him a full five to six minutes to confirm his guess.

Only a small number of rare skills had the hidden fusion formula!

And none of the common skills have this information.

No wonder the hundreds of millions of people before him didn’t notice it.

After all, rare skills were extremely precious.

What kind of player didn’t treat them as treasures? Who would be willing to fuse or recycle them in exchange for an unknown skill?

‘So, this should actually be called the rare skill fusion function, right?‘

‘Everybody doesn’t know that only rare skills have hidden formulas, so they were using common skills to fuse them together all this time. If the fusion fails, other random skills will appear. And due to this, they thought that the fusion had succeeded and this was the correct way, while in reality, it isn’t…?‘

‘And with this kind of wrong perception, nobody would want to fuse their rare skills.‘

‘Fortunately, I haven’t fused these two skills yet. Otherwise, I’d only be able to create another common skill.‘

[Howling Wind] could only be combined with the [Great Storm] to form the [Wind God’s call]. Combined with other skills, it would only produce a random common skill.

The same goes for [Flaming Demon Body].

With these thoughts in mind, Ling Yi searched for the two skills he didn’t have, [Great Storm] and [True Lava Body].

But after long research, he could not find them.

This proved that no one was willing to sell these two skills due to their rarity.

He looked through the forum discussion again and discovered he could obtain them through Boss fights.

However, it’s extremely rare.

Some people learned it immediately after they got it or passed it on as a family heirloom without any intention of selling it.

Seeing this, Ling Yi was slightly disappointed.

“Even if I found them, I don’t have any Star Slots left anyway. I won’t be able to learn them.” He tried to console himself.

However, when he thought of his Star Slots, he thought of his treasure [Dream Micro Star].

This treasure was known as “mysterious” because the formula for its advancement had never been found.

‘If only I could see….‘

At the thought of this, he quickly used the [Eye of Truth] and looked at the small black bracelet on his left wrist.

What made him overjoyed was that there was a line of information under the description of the “Dream Micro Star”.

(Dream Micro Star + Star Fragment x49 + Shining Feather x3 → Dream Morning Star)

It was obvious.

This line of information was the upgraded formula for the Dream Micro Star!

The other materials he would require were 49 Star Fragments and 3 Shining Feathers.

Ling Yi had never heard of these two materials before, but that didn’t stop him from obtaining them.

There should be plenty of them in the exchange anyway.

He bought enough Star Fragments and Shining Feather from the exchange in a short while. He was surprised that these two materials were relatively common and cheap.

He then activated God’s Path’s treasure fusion function, took out his Dream Micro Star, and put it in with the other two materials.

Then, he clicked fused.

[This fusion will consume 100 Gold coins. Continue?]

[Prompt: Only a portion of treasures can be combined.]

[Prompt: If the materials are incorrect, the fusion will fail, and the materials used will disappear. Please make a careful decision.]

“Continue.” Ling Yi trusts in his [Eyes of Truth].

Then a cloud of hazy colorful fog appeared in front of him. The bright fog seemed to be the materials that were being fused.

After a few breaths, the colorful fog dispersed to the sides, revealing a black bracelet in the void.

When Ling Yi reached out his hand, the black bracelet fell into his palm.

He was not in a hurry to put it on, so he rechecked it with the [Eye of Truth].

[Dream Morning Star]

[Grade: D]

[Type: Bracelet]

[Effect: Physique +22 (+5)]

[Precious Skill: Increases the wearer’s strength by 2 (+5) Star Slots]

(Dreamy Morning Star + Glittering Stardust x99→ Dreamy Shining Star)

“Mm… Continue fusing.”

The effect of a D-grade Dream Morning Star was still acceptable.

However, since he could still fuse it further, he would continue.

He went to the exchange and began to search for the Glittering Stardust …

…

A few minutes later…

After spending close to 30,000 G on materials, he finally came to a temporary end of his work.

[Dream Star of Light]

[Grade: B]

[Type: Bracelet]

[Effect: Physique +130 (+20)]

[Precious Skill: Increases the wearer’s strength by 6 (+20) star positions]

(Dream Light star + Holy Star → Dream Holy Star)

The reason why he didn’t continue to upgrade it is because he couldn’t find the [Holy Star] to buy.

So he would be stuck at this grade for the time being.

What was worth mentioning was that as the quality of this treasure increased, the mutation value for the bracelet increased as well.

This was out of his expectations.

It was a pity that the Super Mutation system considered the Dream Micro Star (E), Dream Morning Star (D), Dream Shimmering Star (C), and Dream Light Star (B) to be different grades of the same item.

Which means he wouldn’t be able to mutate it because the system thought it had already been upgraded.

‘I actually wanted to mutate it every time I upgraded it….‘ He shook his head.

Ling Yi threw the unnecessary thoughts out of his mind and put the black bracelet on his left wrist again.

This bracelet was exactly the same as the one before. When he put it on, it looked like a thin black rope was tied around his wrist.

Looking at his physique stats and his Star Slots, it quickly changed.

[Attributes: strength 3, magic power 85, agility 100, endurance 3, vitality 153]

[Remaining Star Slots: 20]

Initially, after he learned the [Eye of Truth], the skill had already used up all four of his remaining Star Slots.

Now, he has 20 more.

He can learn more skills again!
