I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

Stamina: 101

Potential: To be determined

Skill: Unreadable

Talent: None?

The smallest difference is that the "Talent" column is blank with only a question mark. The biggest difference is that after Liu Bolong set the flag that Li Wei's attributes were less than 100, Li Wei immediately overturned the flag.

Liu Bolong wavered for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. How could these little tricks really scare him?

"Psychological tactics? Indeed, your move was quite impressive for a newcomer, but it's nothing more than showing off your limited skills to an old hand like me."

Of course, Liu Bolong's mentality mainly stems from his superior attributes compared to Li Wei.

Li Wei glanced at Liu Bolong, shook his head slightly, and offered no explanation.

"For some reason, I always feel that you are as insignificant as an ant," Li Wei said calmly, his expression indifferent.

"Who is the ant is still uncertain. Are all the newcomers these days so arrogant?"

Liu Bolong sneered, "Do you think that just because you're a cyborg who's used to running rampant in the real world, you can do whatever you want in the God Realm?"

"Now, let me teach you what it means to bow your head."

"You can pay for the tuition with your life."

After saying that, Liu Bolong kicked off the ground, as if he were floating in mid-air, his feet treading on the air as if walking on flat ground, and charged straight at Li Wei.

He used alchemy to transform the air into something else, allowing him to walk as if on stairs.

"Flame Forged - Crimson Flame Spear!"

A layer of bright red flames wrapped around the spear in his right hand, and he thrust it toward Li Wei!

PS:

PSS: I caught a cold...it hurts. I went to the hospital for an X-ray yesterday, thankfully it's nothing, not a tumor. Every time I come back from a trip, I feel...I love this world so much, I love my family so much.

No matter how desperate things get, there will always be beautiful moments in life, won't there?

Chapter 247 The Profound Truths of Alchemy

The Flame Spear was extremely hot; the air distorted the moment it appeared. Liu Bolong gripped it with his right hand and thrust it at Li Wei, leaving a crimson afterimage wherever the spear passed.

This shot was powerful enough to pierce through steel and melt it into liquid. He was convinced that even if Li Wei was a cyborg and had the thickest outer shell, he could not withstand this attack.

He analyzed the reason for this instance, attributing it to a certain extraordinary newcomer or several powerful newcomers, but he did not think it was due to Li Wei. No matter how powerful the cyborgs were, they could not reach that level of transcendence in the real world.

That... makes you realize how powerful science was!

Pay the price for your arrogance!

Liu Bolong said firmly, the tip of the gun about to pierce Li Wei's chest.

However, at that moment, a semi-transparent mesh-like shield appeared on Li Wei's surface, and Liu Bolong's Crimson Flame Spear struck it, producing a metallic clanging sound.

Liu Bolong, whose scientific knowledge was not very extensive, could not figure out what kind of defense this was, but that did not hinder his attack.

He flicked his right hand holding the gun, and the spearhead immediately began to spin like a drill. With a crack, Li Wei's protective shield shattered.

Li Wei, on the other hand, disappeared from the spot just before Liu Bolong's attack was about to land.

Liu Bolong's eyelids twitched. "Elemental Refinement - Stagnant Space".

In an instant, the air within a radius of tens of meters centered on him froze like ice, changing from a gaseous state to a solid state.

Then he turned around and saw Li Wei about five or six meters to his left front.

"Teleportation?" Liu Bolong frowned slightly, then opened his eyes. Even someone at his level couldn't master teleportation, let alone a newcomer.

No matter how advanced the technology used to modify him is, it cannot achieve this kind of technology.

Instant teleportation is mentioned in many novels and movies. It seems like a simple thing, but the skill of physical teleportation is extremely difficult to master unless one is born with a spatial attribute ability. The energy required to distort space alone is enormous, and the physical body's ability to withstand the effects of teleportation is also a major factor. These two factors alone are enough to make ordinary strong people despair.

Even the most gifted person must abide by certain rules for becoming stronger.

In Liu Bolong's view, this was some kind of high-speed movement tactic by Li Wei.

Liu Bolong had many ideas, but they only flashed through his mind for a fleeting moment. The next second, he threw the spear in his hand at Li Wei's body.

"Piercing through the red lotus!"

The spear streaked across the sky like a meteor, exploding as it pierced Li Wei. Crimson flames bloomed like a red lotus. This was Liu Bolong's skill, which infused the spear with fire element. Upon impact, the fire element within the spear completely exploded, causing explosive damage within the enemy's body.

Generally speaking, any unit pierced by his spear would be instantly killed by this move, so when he saw Li Wei's appearance, he had no doubt that Li Wei had any chance of survival.

"What a pity. If we could have subdued him, he would have been a good research subject," Liu Bolong shook his head and sighed.

Just as Liu Bolong was about to turn and leave, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Anyone who has spent a long time in the God's Space will exchange for a skill similar to a sixth sense. If one's own intuition fails to provide timely warnings, then this skill will serve as a second line of defense.

This... is Liu Bolong's skill, a warning to him of the impending crisis!

"Elemental Forging - Thick Armor"

Almost at the same time that Liu Bolong had just added a layer of defensive barrier to himself, a powerful shockwave roared in.

boom--

With a loud bang, the area where Liu Bolong was located was enveloped in a white light.

After a while, the white light disappeared, and Liu Bolong stood there in a disheveled state. Fortunately, he had defended himself in time, otherwise that attack would have either killed him or seriously injured him.

Liu Bolong quickly spotted and locked onto Li Wei, who glanced at him with a regretful expression and shook his head slightly.

A surge of anger rose within Liu Bolong. "What, you think you can kill me just like that?"

Li Wei said calmly, "According to my calculations, this move alone can indeed kill you. Considering your reflexes, your personality and behavior, there is no chance that you could react in time."

"In other words, based on the known information, the only future you faced after that attack was... death."

"Disappointed? Let me tell you..." Liu Bolong, who had been hit hard by Li Wei's words, was about to regain the upper hand in the psychological battle and was about to say something when Li Wei interrupted him without hesitation.

"What you're trying to say is nothing more than not to underestimate the abilities of those who are experienced, right?"

"..."

Seeing Liu Bolong's performance, Li Wei knew that his analysis was correct. No, he should say that he never doubted his own abilities.

What he just mentioned, the calculated fatal blow, was merely a figure of speech. In his mind, a seasoned expert must have some trump card or trick, and his fatal move was just a test and a way to gather more information.

Some things... once you glimpse the tip of the iceberg, you can complete the blueprint for the entire iceberg!

His memories hadn't returned yet, but Li Wei possessed this confidence, a kind of inner strength and instinct.

In a daze, he suddenly said, "You are no longer of any value."

!! ?

Liu Bolong suddenly opened his eyes wide. The warning brought by his sixth sense-like ability severely stimulated his brain, every inch of his skin, and every cell, making him feel cold all over.

A sense of impending death quickly spread through him, so much so that even his seasoned killing spirit couldn't control the muscles in his face, which contorted into a grotesque expression.

"The Secrets of Alchemy: Ode to the Earth"

Liu Bolong was enveloped in a thin, earthy-yellow mist. If someone with special pupil techniques were to see it, they would see a special energy flow between Liu Bolong's body and the earth, a connection he had established with the land beneath his feet.

With the blessing of the Alchemy Profound Truth: Praise of the Earth, Liu Bolong's own defense was instantly amplified by this land, increasing many times over.

Li Wei shook his head, his tone indifferent: "Things without value have no reason to exist."

As he said this, gray patterns appeared in Li Wei's left eye. At that moment, the world seemed to open up in his vision. Then, his right eye flashed with green light, and he blurted out.

"Alchemy Reversal - Ultimate Technique Collapse".

With a wave of his hand, Li Wei unleashed a strange power upon Liu Bolong. Liu Bolong was horrified to discover that the thin mist surrounding his Alchemy Profound Truth: Praise of the Earth had suddenly vanished!

The next moment, just like before, a destructive white light enveloped his body...

PS:

PSS: Hmm... there are two more chapters to come.

I'm preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. Best of luck to all my fellow test-takers in this final stage, although I also have exams at the end of the year...

The new password for BookKee is really annoying!

Chapter 248 [Second Update] The Seven Deadly Sins: Greed

After the destructive white light annihilated Liu Bolong, Li Wei stood there speechless for a long time. Just now, he himself did not know what was wrong with him. He suddenly became extremely indifferent, as if he did not care about anything and would destroy anything that had no value.

"Perhaps, I was originally a ruthless killer?" Li Wei boldly speculated.

However, as if it were his nature, even after losing his memory, Li Wei didn't care much about many things, such as his origins or what kind of person he was. These were things that most people would pay attention to, but he didn't care much about them. He would only have a sudden whim at the right time.

"The Seven Deadly Sins - Greed?"

Just now, some memories appeared in his mind, namely the Seven Deadly Sins - Greed. This is the name of the power he has been using recently, and it is also the basis on which he is able to copy the abilities of other people, living beings, and non-living beings.

This is the power he wields; his ability, true to his name, is greed.

To put it simply and bluntly—

What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. I can copy yours and be even better than you.

In fact, the power of greed is not limited to copying skills, as Li Wei himself had learned from the incomplete information.

The origins of the Seven Deadly Sins are ancient, mentioned in some Western mythological texts. What should have been just a fantasy recorded by ordinary people has now become a real force, and the secrets within are worth exploring.

Li Wei had a vague feeling that the true origin of the Seven Deadly Sins was not as simple as those historical records suggested.

According to current understanding, the seven deadly sins are gluttony, lust, greed, wrath, sloth, pride, and envy. Li Wei possesses one of them, greed. He doesn't know why he has this ability, nor does he know if this is the only sin he has. If it were like a typical anime storyline, where he and six others each possess one sin and have to kill each other to seize it, that would be interesting.

The greed he was using was so powerful that even a veteran was killed by him, a mere newcomer. So one can imagine that if someone else had this kind of power and entered the God Space earlier than him, they would definitely be a strong opponent worth challenging. Just thinking about this possibility made his blood boil.

The threat of death, in Li Wei's eyes, was a wonderfully fragrant scent.

He was eager to know how extraordinary the abilities of the other six sin holders would be, or perhaps he would have to face a terrifying powerhouse who already possessed all six sins!

That's so exciting!

Of course, this is just Li Wei's own wishful thinking...

Whenever you have beautiful fantasies, reality always slaps you in the face. If one slap isn't enough, it will come several more. Based on this situation, Li Wei probably has to take six slaps (°ー°〃).

Putting all that aside, Li Wei's thoughts returned to the battle. He reviewed the fight and, unsurprisingly, successfully copied alchemy from Liu Bolong.

However, unlike his previous ability to instantly copy albino humanoids, Liu Bolong only acquired alchemy at the last moment before the battle ended. This might be because alchemy is a more advanced ability than the one he copied before, or it could be due to a lack of understanding.

This is a drawback of the Seven Deadly Sins, greed. However, Li Wei believes that this drawback is ultimately due to his current lack of strength and his unfamiliarity with the Seven Deadly Sins, greed.

Alchemy (Beginner): This is a mysterious and complex discipline. Some believe it is merely a technique aimed at turning base metals into gold or creating immortality. Others say that alchemy is a sacred technology that can make humans exist on par with gods. However, beginner-level alchemy does indeed possess the ability to transform matter and turn decay into magic.

Note: This ability requires adherence to the principle of equivalent exchange.

This is the alchemy information on Liu Bolong. Although Liu Bolong has shown how amazing it is, both in battle and in front of other newcomers, in Li Wei's information it is only a very rudimentary technique, barely considered an entry-level skill. This is not to say that alchemy is bad, but rather that Liu Bolong's alchemy is too weak.

On the other hand, given how poor Liu Bolong's alchemy skills are, his performance is already quite remarkable.

That was a brilliant move, but unfortunately, he ran into Li Wei.

Deserted city, a certain hospital base——

After Liu Bolong left, seven newcomers remained at the same spot. From their initial fear when contacting the finance director to their current composure, their psychological journey was quite tortuous.

Although the Zijing tribe members look somewhat different from them, they still enjoyed VIP treatment here. Moreover, after consuming some of the Zijing tribe's food, they were pleasantly surprised to find that their physical fitness had improved significantly. If they were to return to the real world, they could easily break any world record.

Although Liu Bolong disdained these benefits and never took them seriously, they were still a very good gain for them. It can only be said that this was indeed a high-difficulty beginner dungeon.

Although they died quickly.

But at least it was enjoyable.

Just a few days after they were waiting for Liu Bolong to return, a straightforward-looking member of the Zijing tribe came to them and reported, "A person has come from outside. He seems to be one of your kind. Do you want to see him?"

"similar?"

"Is it Lord Liu who has returned?" one of them asked in surprise, but everyone, including him, quickly dismissed the idea. If it were Liu Bolong, how could the Zijing clan not recognize him? They would simply walk in without needing to notify him.

The group looked at each other, momentarily forgetting Li Wei and Qin Qingyu, whom they had long forgotten and abandoned.
