Picking Up Attributes From Today Chapter 281: Monstrous New Functions, Ancient God Bloodline

Chapter 281: Monstrous New Functions, Ancient G.o.d Bloodline

An excited Meng Lei urged, “System, hurry and tell me more about these three functions!”

“Super Pickup: Picks up dropped items from designated existential planes, including but not limited to Divinity Crystals, Bloodlines, Laws of Nature Fragments, Divine Cores...” The system stated coldly, “This is a chargeable function and costs 100 Divinity Crystals per attempt.”

“Pick up dropped items from designated existential planes?”

Meng Lei’s eyes lit up a little as he asked, “Is this an improved version of Limitless Pickup? What does ‘designated existential planes’ mean? Do I get to specify the existential plane?”

“That’s right, host,” replied the system. Then it added, “By using this function, the host may pick up dropped items from any existential plane designated by the host.”

“I get to designate the existential plane? That’s just insane!”

Meng Lei’s spirits were rather roused up.

Limitless Pickup was a random pickup function. Just how many existential planes were there in the vast universe?

Billions! The rate of picking up something good was too low when one could only do random pickups from so many existential planes out there.

However, he could designate a specific existential plane as the pickup location instead with the new function. Now, that made the function way more monstrous!

If he designated the location as the Thunderbolt Divine Realm, then he would be able to pick up dropped items from the Thunderbolt Divine Realm;

If he designated the location as the Earth Divine Realm, then he would be able to pick up dropped items from the Earth Divine Realm!

If he designated the location as the Celestial Realm, then he would be able to pick up dropped items from the Celestial Realm!

Even if he were to temporarily put aside the issue of whether or not he could pick up decent dropped items, at least he definitely wouldn’t be seeing things like Anna the barmaid’s panties, a Fairy’s bra, and other kinds of eyesores anymore.

“This function is certainly powerful, but the price...” Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. The price was certainly very ridiculous, too.

100 Divinity Crystals was the equivalent of 1,000,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. This meant that using Super Pickup once would cost him 1,000,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals—this was as many as one million times the cost of using Limitless Pickup!

How could the word “expensive” even cut it?

Meng Lei asked, “What about Super Plunder?”

“Super Plunder: Plunders anything from designated existential planes, including but not limited to Divinity Crystals, Bloodlines, Laws of Nature Fragments, Divine Cores...” The system stated coldly, “The cost of using the function depends on how powerful and how rare the target of plunder and object of plunder are.”

“As expected, it’s also an improved function, this time of Brutal Plunder.”

An excited Meng Lei exclaimed, “To think it can actually plunder anything from designated existential planes! It’s pretty terrifying once you think carefully about it—this means that I can even plunder a Chief G.o.d’s divine core if I so wish?”

“Yes, it’s possible, host,” replied the system emotionlessly.

True enough!

Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. This particular function was simply too monstrous—it could even plunder a Chief G.o.d’s divine core! This was practically... too frightening!

However, Meng Lei knew without even asking that the cost of plundering a Chief G.o.d divine core from a chief G.o.d must undoubtedly be an astronomical sum, way beyond what he could even imagine. It wasn’t something that he could plunder so easily.

“System, tell me about Super Enhancement.”

Meng Lei was full of antic.i.p.ation. Since the previous two functions hadn’t disappointed, then the last one couldn’t possibly be a bad one, either.

“Super Enhancement: Enhances any object in the host’s possession, including but not limited to Physical Body Const.i.tution, Spirit, Bloodlines, Divine Cores, Divine Weapons...” The system stated coldly, “The cost of using this function depends on the object of enhancement’s grade.”

“This function sounds pretty good, too!”

Meng Lei’s eyes were sparkling. He asked, “Can the function enhance even bloodlines, system?”

“Yes, it can.”

“If I want to enhance my bloodline, what would happen after the bloodline has been enhanced?”

The system replied, “The bloodline will upgrade by one grade each time the function is used to enhance it.”

“Upgrade by one grade?” Meng Lei was rather confused. “What does that mean?”

“Dear host, bloodlines are cla.s.sified into different grades,” The system explained, “They are respectively the Mundane Bloodlines, Saint Domain Bloodlines, Half-Deity Bloodlines, True G.o.d Bloodlines, Ancient G.o.d Bloodlines, Supreme Bloodlines, and the Genesis Bloodlines.

“It is possible for the host to improve a bloodline’s grade through the use of Super Enhancement. For example, the host may enhance a Mundane Bloodline into a Saint Domain Bloodline, or a Saint Domain Bloodline into a Half-Deity Bloodline.”

The system’s explanation was an eye-opener for Meng Lei.

He wasn’t surprised at the fact that bloodlines had a difference in grades. After all, this was simply too common an occurrence.

Some races—such as humans—were born mundane and would remain mundane if they didn’t cultivate.

Some races were born Saint Domains and would naturally become Saint Domain existences once they become of age, such as the Golden Behemoths, the Golden Colossal Dragons, and the Golden Dragon-Lions.

And some races were born half-deities the moment they came into the world, such as the G.o.ds-Slaying Rats.

Therefore, it was very normal for there to be grade cla.s.sifications in bloodlines. Instead, what had astonished Meng Lei was the latter three types of bloodlines—the Ancient G.o.d Bloodlines, the Supreme Bloodlines, and the Genesis Bloodlines.

A frowning and puzzled Meng Lei asked, “System, what does ‘Ancient G.o.d’ mean?”

“Ancient G.o.ds are known as Pseudo-Chief G.o.ds. The term refers to Great Perfection higher deities that have comprehended supreme Laws of Nature.”

The system explained, “Although Ancient G.o.ds do not have Chief G.o.d Divine Cores, because they have comprehended supreme laws of nature, they nevertheless still possess extremely powerful combat power and are able to contend against Chief G.o.ds.

“Additionally, the deeper an Ancient G.o.d’s comprehension of the supreme Laws of Nature was, the stronger their combat power would be. When an Ancient G.o.d perfectly comprehends a form of supreme Laws of Nature, they’ll be able to contend against the strongest Chief G.o.d.”

Realization dawned upon Meng Lei. As it turned out, the term “Ancient G.o.d” referred to Great Perfection higher deities that had comprehended supreme laws of nature.

Going by that definition, the G.o.d of Time that had comprehended time-based laws of nature could also be referred to as an Ancient G.o.d. Despite not possessing a Chief G.o.d divine core, he nevertheless could still contend against a Chief G.o.d.

How impressive!

What was the Supreme Bloodline that came next in line, though?

And the Genesis Bloodline, too—what the heck was that?

“Dear host, above the Chief G.o.ds stand the Supreme G.o.ds of The Universe, and above the Supreme G.o.ds stand the Primordial World Genesis G.o.ds. These terms are commonly abbreviated to Supreme G.o.ds and Genesis G.o.ds,” explained the system.

Supreme G.o.ds of The Universe!

Primordial World Genesis G.o.ds!

Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. The Chief G.o.ds were already the most supreme and the highest form of G.o.dhood among the deities. They were the universally-acknowledged king of all G.o.ds, yet the Supreme G.o.ds and Genesis G.o.ds were actually even more powerful than the Chief G.o.ds?

In that case, how powerful must they be?

Meng Lei was astounded by the new knowledge. He felt even more keenly just how tiny and insignificant an existence he was. The current Meng Lei was just a tiny little intermediate deity, let alone a Supreme G.o.d or a Genesis G.o.d.

He was ridiculously weak!

“I’m still young, though. I have loads of time to improve myself. Besides, I also have the system. I believe that I’ll definitely achieve considerable heights in the future!”

Then, Meng Lei asked, “System, what grades do the bloodlines currently in my body belong to?”

“Dear host, you currently have a total of four bloodlines in your body. Among them, the G.o.ds-Slaying Rat bloodline, the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline, and the Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline are cla.s.sified as True G.o.d Bloodlines,” replied the system, “Whereas the Primordial Human bloodline is one grade higher and cla.s.sified as an Ancient G.o.d Bloodline.”

“I expected that of the first three types.”

Meng Lei nodded lightly. After all, as long as the G.o.ds-Slaying Rats, the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes, and the Hundred-Armed Giants could survive and become of age, they would be able to contend against higher deities. That firmly made them True G.o.d Bloodlines. On top of that, they were even extremely powerful presences among the True G.o.d Bloodlines.

What had surprised Meng Lei was instead the Primordial Human bloodline. It was actually an Ancient G.o.d Bloodline!

“Wouldn’t that mean that as long as I can awaken the Primordial Human bloodline to 100%, I’ll become an Ancient G.o.d capable of contending against a Chief G.o.d once I naturally come of age?

“Oh my goodness! How terrifying!”

Meng Lei was fairly shocked. However, he also knew that the more powerful a bloodline was, the harder it would be for him to buy credit for it.

At the moment, he had only awakened 16% of his Primordial Human bloodline. Should he intend to buy credit and boost it to 100%, he would need a total of 8.4 billion Divinity Crystals!

.4 billion!

He wouldn’t even be worth that much money even if he sold himself off!

Meng Lei inquired, “System, how much would it cost to enhance my G.o.ds-Slaying Rat bloodline?”

“Ding! The G.o.ds-Slaying Rat bloodline is cla.s.sified as a powerful True G.o.d Bloodline and will become an Ancient G.o.d Bloodline after enhancement. The enhancement cost is estimated at 10 billion Divinity Crystals.”

“Take it that I didn’t ask!”

Meng Lei rolled his eyes. Then, he asked, “System, how much would it cost to enhance my divine spirit?”

“Dear host, your divine spirit is currently at pinnacle-grade lesser deity level and will reach an intermediate deity’s level after enhancement. The enhancement cost is estimated at 100,000 Divinity Crystals.”

“100,000 Divinity Crystals? That’s still pretty expensive, but at least it’s somewhat within an acceptable range. What about Physical Body Const.i.tution enhancement?”

“...”

“Can divine weapons also be enhanced?”

“...”

“How much would it cost to enhance the G.o.ds-Slaying Spear?”

“Dear host, the G.o.ds-Slaying Spear is a mid-tier divine weapon and will become a high-tier divine weapon after enhancement...”
