I Obviously Just Want to be a Minor Character CH.34
Chapter 34: Something He’d Been Waiting For
Demon-Hunting Academy, boys’ dormitory.
At this time, even if people were anxious and nervous, many had already gone to sleep.
Tomorrow was the day of the expedition. Although the students’ tasks would be relatively simple, many still wanted to rest up so they could handle the war tomorrow.
So, the lights that had been bright when Su Ming left were dimmed. Most of the rooms were already dark, with only a few still lit.
Su Ming’s dorm was clearly not one of those few.
When Su Ming returned to his dorm, Lei Hao was already snoring loudly, and Ye Bai was tossing and turning in his bed.
Su Ming shot a glance at his two friends, then climbed into bed without caring about them.
However, Su Ming didn’t want to fall asleep just yet.
He closed his eyes and opened the in-game market interface, then looked at the diamond-shaped crystal icon in the bottom right corner.
Next to it was a line of numbers—“147365.”
Yes!
After throwing all the extraordinary items he’d obtained into the market, Su Ming had received over one hundred and forty thousand crystal chips!
Su Ming was moved by the unimaginable number of crystal chips.
There was nothing he could do about it.
147,365 crystal chips. If one thousand crystal chips were one package, then that was a total of 147 packages!
“During the year I’ve been in this world, I don’t think I’ve ever opened this many packages.”
Su Ming didn’t know if he had ever opened this many packages in total.
After all, he had never kept track of how many packages he had opened. Every time he had enough crystal chips, he couldn’t help but open a package.
When it came to things related to his strength, it was practically impossible for him to control his hands.
Therefore, Su Ming didn’t know if he had ever opened this many packages in total during the past year, but he could be sure that he had never opened more than two at a time.
This time, he was going to open a whole of 147 packages!
That’s right, Su Ming planned to spend all of his crystal chips!
“Save crystal chips? Control my hands?!”
Su Ming needed these packages to enrich his collection and improve his strength as soon as possible.
In such circumstances, it was impossible for him to control his hands.
“Rip!”
In the blink of an eye, a large number of packages appeared in Su Ming’s backpack, making a rustling sound.
Su Ming didn’t hesitate for even a moment. With a wave of his hand, he spent all 147,365 crystal chips at once.
As the number of crystal chips changed from 147,365 to the pitifully small number of 365, 147 packages filled Su Ming’s backpack.
Looking at this pile of packages, Su Ming couldn’t help but rub his hands together excitedly.
“Should I go wash my hands and light some incense first? Should I get rid of the bad luck before opening them?”
Su Ming thought about it for a moment, but then quickly dispelled the idea.
It was said that fortune could not be changed by black magic. Su Ming had been almost buried alive by two goddesses recently. He refused to believe that he would continue to be unlucky.
“I’ll just open them right now!”
The truth was that Su Ming was very decisive. He never delayed anything that needed to be done.
And so, Su Ming opened the first package.
In the past, when Su Ming opened packages, he would slowly take out each item one by one.
But this time, perhaps because he was feeling rich and powerful, or perhaps because he knew there were still more than a hundred packages left to open, he was a bit more impatient. He took out everything in the package at once.
To Su Ming’s surprise, he pulled out five items from the first package.
A package would randomly contain three to five items, with a minimum of three and a maximum of five. Su Ming had pulled out the maximum of five items from the first package, which was a small but pleasant surprise.
“Off to a good start!”
Su Ming began to look at the items, but that small bit of surprise disappeared.
Three of these five items were materials for lower-level spirit demons, one was an alchemy tool with little use, and the last was a potion.
Dragon Blood Potion (fake): An alchemy potion made from the factors of legendary dragons. When consumed by a hunter, it will temporarily grant them the power of a dragon.
Out of the five items, only this bottle of Dragon Blood Potion was worth looking at, but it was only a fake and not a real product. Su Ming felt as if he had already gotten his guaranteed minimum on his first try.
“Whatever, I have a lot of packages anyway.”
Su Ming’s mood was very complicated.
If this were any other time, he would have worked hard to earn crystal chips to open a single package, and the result would be this guaranteed minimum. Su Ming would definitely have blown up in anger.
“Stay calm, stay calm.”
Su Ming adjusted his attitude and continued to open the packages.
The following time was a period of great ups and downs in his mood.
Sometimes, Su Ming would open something truly good, making him ecstatic.
Sometimes, Su Ming would open something similar to the first package’s world-famous painting, making him curse.
But as the saying goes, quantity leads to quality. After opening one package after another, Su Ming indeed opened many treasures that would cause a huge commotion in the outside world.
For example, in the twelfth package, Su Ming opened a bottle of high-level spirit demon blood. If the hunting families knew about this, they would definitely fight over it.
Unfortunately, Su Ming already had a bottle of nightmare type blood, so this bottle of spirit demon blood was only a danger type. Although Su Ming was very surprised, it was only that. He could only temporarily keep it in his backpack for safekeeping.
For example, in the thirty-seventh package, Su Ming also opened a high-level spiritual technique.
Misty Karma Brahma (Eighty One Styles): High-level spiritual technique. Change the sky and manipulate its power. Whether it’s storms, lightning and rain, or even ice and snow, you can summon them all at will.
Without a doubt, this was another spiritual technique that was so powerful it would blow the charts.
Just from reading the description of this spiritual technique, Su Ming felt an urge to try it out and see if he could learn it.
Of course, a spiritual technique at this level, even if Su Ming did learn it, would be just like Heaven and Earth Reversal—he wouldn’t have enough spiritual energy to use it.
But Su Ming still wanted to try it out.
In this wave of opening packages, he also got a lot of good things that could increase his spiritual energy.
Small amount of spiritual energy: An extremely pure and unbound spiritual energy. When absorbed into the body, it can slightly increase the amount of spiritual energy. There are no side effects.
Medium amount of spiritual energy: An extremely pure and unbound spiritual energy. When absorbed into the body, it can moderately increase the amount of spiritual energy. There are no side effects.
Large amount of spiritual energy: An extremely pure and unbound spiritual energy. When absorbed into the body, it can significantly increase the amount of spiritual energy. There are no side effects.
He really did get quite a few good things that could increase his own spiritual energy.
Naturally, Su Ming used them all on himself right away.
Thanks to this, Su Ming could clearly feel his spiritual energy surging like mad. It was now several times more than it had been before.
Su Ming believed that by the time this event had ended, his spiritual energy would have increased by at least tenfold.
That should be enough to meet the requirements for using high-level spiritual techniques, right?
“I’ll definitely have to find a chance to test it out later.”
As he made his decision, Su Ming continued opening the packages.
The items that came out after that didn’t really cause much of a reaction from Su Ming.
It wasn’t that there weren’t any good items, but with the high-level spirit demon blood and Eighty One Styles Orb in front of him, Su Ming wouldn’t get too excited even if more good items came out.
It wasn’t until the sixty-sixth package that Su Ming got a weapon made for hunters. It gave him quite a surprise.
However, he couldn’t use it yet.
Therefore, Su Ming could only continue to store it away in his bag of holding, adding to his collection.
During this process, Su Ming continued opening packages and getting all kinds of spiritual techniques.
There were some low-level spiritual techniques, some middle-level spiritual techniques, and even some intermediate-level spiritual techniques that would be useful to Su Ming.
Su Ming was able to master some of the spiritual techniques with a single glance. There were even some that were repeated, which made Su Ming feel like he had been scammed.
It wasn’t until he opened the one-hundred-and-eighteenth package that a sudden surprise made Su Ming almost jump out of bed.
It was an alchemical potion.
An alchemical potion that Su Ming had been waiting for a long time to obtain, one that he had always wanted but never managed to open.
Green Potion: An adaptation potion that could greatly enhance the user’s adaptation ability.
At first glance, this alchemical potion didn’t seem to be anything special. The description on the label was also rather ordinary.
However, Su Ming knew very well that such a potion was more valuable than an illusion potion to many people.
There were two reasons for this.
First, its rarity.
In order to refine such a potion, one needed to use a rare ingredient. This ingredient was so rare that it was considered rare even in the Spiritual Demon Prison. In the present world, it was even more difficult to come across. It would be rare to see it even after decades.
Another was its effects: “Greatly enhances the user’s adaptability.”
What did this mean?
“It means that if you take this bottle of medicine along with the illusion potion, it will greatly enhance your adaptability and compatibility with the spirit demon blood!”
In other words, this bottle of adaptability medicine could reduce the failure rate of taking the illusion potion to the greatest extent!
This was what Su Ming had been waiting for!
The reason he hadn’t used the nightmare-type blood was because he hadn’t yet refined it into an illusion potion. The other reason was that he was worried about the success rate.
As a warlock, the success rate of adapting to the illusion potion was already low enough to make people’s hair stand on end. Never mind that Su Ming wanted to take a high-level illusion potion made from the blood of a nightmare-type, which would cause the success rate to plummet even further.
So, Su Ming had been waiting, waiting for him to be able to open an extraordinary item in his bag that could increase the success rate of taking the illusion potion.
Now, Su Ming had finally waited for it.
“Looks like I can finally get to work on refining that illusion potion.”
Su Ming was so excited that he couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
“Holy shit, what the fuck is that noise?!”
Lei Hao and Ye Bai were both scared awake by the noise and began to curse.
