Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 306 - 131: Heart-Protecting Fire, 2 Extraordinary Items!
It’s here!
Cheng Ye’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and a faint, illusory flame flickered in his pupils.
Just as he expected, the Level 1 skills of the Extraordinary were completely different from those of ordinary people.
On the panel, the three fiery words floated in his vision, their edges somewhat blurred and insubstantial, yet they exuded a heart-stopping sense of oppression.
Killing Body Fire, Heart-Protecting Fire, Soul-Destroying Fire!
The three fires stood side by side, characters like flames, completely transcending the realm of normal humanity, truly touching the threshold of the Extraordinary.
Even though Cheng Ye had obsessively thought about the Extraordinary for days, replaying countless scenarios of discovering Extraordinary powers, he hadn’t anticipated this moment would arrive so abruptly and beautifully.
Now, with just a thought, he could select a single Extraordinary Talent and immediately tear apart the shackles of the ordinary, stepping into the gateway of the Extraordinary.
However, when his gaze swept over the acquisition probabilities of each talent, Cheng Ye’s brow involuntarily furrowed.
In previous searches, entering the skills panel meant any skill had a 100% acquisition probability, and if there was a failure, it would have happened in the preceding steps.
Yet these three Extraordinary Talents before him, the probability for Soul-Destroying Fire was not even 50%.
"Could it be that the panel’s ’guaranteed’ refers to guaranteeing entry into this selection stage, rather than a 100% acquisition of any skill among them?"
Cheng Ye pondered secretly, realizing that this was his first formal search for the Extraordinary.
He hadn’t expected that these talents of the Extraordinary actually varied so much.
Without immediately choosing the 100% successful Heart-Protecting Fire, Cheng Ye’s gaze continued to scan downward.
Scorching Eagle?
So that flaming giant eagle’s official name was this?
The three skills starting with Scorching Eagle, although not bearing the Extraordinary flame label, still bestowed abilities on humans that could not be explained by science.
Extinguishing Fire, Hook Fire, Swallowing Fire.
Cheng Ye’s gaze instantly fixated on Swallowing Fire, it seemed, from the description, similar to the Horned Starfish’s trait of devouring carnivorous recovery.
However, in terms of level, they were worlds apart, the latter being Level 5.
It seemed the issue lay in this "small amount"; if there were strict limitations on the total amount of fire consumption recovery, then the skill being only Level 1 was unsurprising.
After all, the Horned Starfish’s devouring ability only constantly reduced its effect, rather than completely disappearing.
As for the ordinary-level skills further down, Cheng Ye chose to ignore them directly.
Despite some seeming quite practical, like "Literary Memory" which could slightly enhance memory, potentially elevating his already good memory; or "Iron Palm" which could harden knuckles, boosting unarmed attack power...
But compared to the previous Extraordinary talents and Scorching Eagle skills, these abilities weren’t on the same scale at all.
Continuing to scroll down until the notes at the bottom of the panel caught his eye, Cheng Ye had already made his decision.
If, like the previous search for Jiang Chuan, there was no special power boost and talents and skills would downgrade, he might hesitate whether to choose Scorching Eagle Swallowing Fire, to continue strengthening the Iron Body system, turning into an unafraid of pain, unkillable, fast-recovering "freak."
But now, all three Extraordinary Talents could bring special powers.
Even if just a rudiment, even if far from Liu Kun’s level, yet it was like a key.
With this key, searching for Scorching Eagle Swallowing Fire in the future would directly yield a perfect-level skill, no longer suffering from rating degradation.
As for choosing among the three talents, it seemed there wasn’t much to struggle over.
Soul-Destroying Fire was immediately eliminated, not just because of the low probability, but because this ability was practically useless at the moment.
Attacking another dimension of power?
Was it meant to attack that Scorching Eagle?
But a small Level 1 skill might not even suffice to scratch the opponent, instead potentially exposing the fact that he possessed an Extraordinary skill.
Killing Body Fire did make Cheng Ye a bit tempted, as it could be a valuable superpower trump card, but thinking carefully, if it came to action, using a gun would be more direct and reliable.
Furthermore, Killing Body Fire also had only a 75% probability.
For the first search for the Extraordinary, Cheng Ye decided to be cautious, to hold onto the Extraordinary power first, and there would be plenty of opportunities for subsequent searches.
"I choose... Heart-Protecting Fire!"
As soon as the words fell, the "Heart-Protecting Fire" on the panel suddenly burst into a dazzling red light, transforming into a scorching, blazing flame.
Yet no matter how fierce and wild the flame, it was ultimately constrained and shrunk by an invisible force.
All its might seemed to be extremely condensed, turning into a small golden-red frame that held the warmth of a rising sun, a line of clear text leapt within.
[Search Success]
[Civilization Collector has successfully recorded: Heart-Protecting Fire (Level 1; Talent; Extraordinary)]
[Detecting Collector without corresponding special power, condensing special power seed...]
[Condensation succeeded, ’seed’ has been automatically locked into the storage space]
[Note: Please extract the seed and establish a physical connection before equipping the Extraordinary skill, otherwise the probability of skill equipping may fail, causing irreversible serious consequences]
[Current storage space: 3/4]
"Fortunately, I took out the four-piece set in advance, otherwise it would be directly filled up, making guaranteed search for items unusable..."
Cheng Ye felt a sense of relief, as the skill search panel slowly disappeared, he couldn’t help taking a long breath.
In his heart, there was a sense of relief like a heavy stone removed, as well as the comforting feeling that all his efforts had not been in vain.
