Konan’s Job Change Item

Shen Mo now also had a relatively clear direction for his plan.

If guiding individual desires was the first stage in the beginning.

Creating environments where people fought for their respective desires was the second stage.

Then the third stage was to create an environment of continuous competition.

Internal competition or competition with the rest of the world.

All in all.

He could not let them have a day of loafing around.

Konan truly felt the pressure, so she said with a resolute gaze, "My Lord, I want ten Level 3 Chests! To draw my Destiny Item!"

"Very well." Shen Mo smiled and raised a hand, and ten Level 3 Chests appeared before him.

The Fate-type Item belonging to her had already been placed inside.

Konan did not hesitate too much, nor did she feel any tension. She believed that the chests would yield things suitable for her.

Level 3 Chests were already completely different from Level 2 Chests.

Any single item, even if it was just a ball of light, possessed characteristics that surpassed the grand prize of a Level 2 Chest, and the knowledge inheritance within them suddenly became profound, alongside various magical spells.

Pity she had not learned Sage Mode.

Compared to Chakra, these spells were much more suited to being cast using natural energy.

However, upon the fifth chest, she drew a piece of equipment.

–Floating Cloud Handkerchief.

Judging from its appearance, it was merely a simple handkerchief, but if the array diagram inside was activated, it would turn into a flying magical treasure that could be ridden. However, to Konan, aside from recognizing the magic of the artifact, it was of little use.

After all, Paper Style could already fly by nature.

Finally, Konan opened the very last chest all the way through.

Inside, there was only a piece of paper floating lightly.

"Sure enough, it’s this." Shen Mo said with a smile, "It suits you very well."

"My Lord, what is this?" Konan asked, raising her head.

"Job Change Talisman Master." Shen Mo looked at the piece of paper, explaining, "This is your Origin Talisman Paper. Right now, it’s still just a blank sheet of paper. Whenever you learn a new talisman, it will be inscribed upon it. A Talisman Master is a powerful, magical, and versatile class. Most importantly — it suits you very well."

Talisman Master.

There was no such class within the system; this was custom-made by Shen Mo.

A class featuring collection and upgrade traits.

Collecting talismans and recording them on the Origin Talisman Paper, her usual cultivation basically consisted of refining the Origin Talisman Paper to continuously upgrade it, possessing characteristics similar to a natal magical treasure.

Yet, just as Shen Mo had said.

Konan, who could freely manipulate paper, paired with this secondary class, was definitely not just as simple as one plus one. At the very least, she would no longer need to use explosive tags monotonously; various kinds of talismans complementing each other could be played with endlessly.

Konan herself had already realized this.

Her eyes lit up, her lips parted slightly, and she glanced at Shen Mo, then at this talisman paper, her face filled with an expression of anticipation.

Talisman Master.

Having already obtained a portion of Daoist inheritance, she naturally understood the concept of talismans.

"Changing classes is very safe." Shen Mo indicated, "Just drop a bit of blood into it. It comes equipped with cultivation techniques of its own, which can help you absorb natural energy. However, in the future, whether for cultivation or advancement, materials will be indispensable. If you want to achieve something on the path of a Talisman Master, I’m afraid you’ll have to buy quite a few chests."

This class could be said to be good in every way, except for one very fatal point.

–Burning money.

The practice of making talismans required a massive amount of materials, and the advancement of the Origin Talisman Paper also required a multitude of precious materials.

The diversity it possessed would also lower the cost-effectiveness of opening chests.

However, its money-making ability was likewise very strong. If her talisman-making became proficient, her success rate high, and she worked a bit harder, the talismans she crafted could also be resold to Shen Mo in exchange for Trading Points. This was called labor creating value.

Therefore, Shen Mo looked forward to it even more than Konan did.

Following Shen Mo’s instructions, Konan dropped her blood into it, and this strip of Origin Talisman Paper directly vanished into the center of her brow. A simple cultivation formula and a sliver of information similarly surfaced in her mind, everything exceptionally magical.

"My Lord, I want to first purchase one hundred Talisman Master series chests."

Konan looked at Shen Mo, the fists clenched tightly within her long sleeves revealing her state of mind at that moment.

Never had there been a time when she craved power as much as she did now.

And this power was placed directly before her by these chests.

"One hundred?"

Shen Mo raised a hand. On one side were supplies continuously falling and disappearing, while on the other were chests constantly appearing.

Looking at the asset total on the system interface that had suddenly jumped by over twenty million points, Shen Mo felt a delightfully bittersweet sensation in his heart.

Moreover, he knew very well that this was just the beginning.

Konan also accelerated her speed of opening chests.

She knew very well herself that a little over a hundred Level 3 Chests were not even enough to let her defeat Orochimaru; she needed many, many more chests.

The items inside the Talisman Master series chests could be described as exceptionally abundant.

From blank talisman paper, to materials used to assist in drawing talismans, to balls of light that enhanced physical fitness and spiritual power, and even a wide variety of inheritances—not just knowledge of talismans, but also array diagrams, spells, and so on.

All of these dispersed the power of the chests.

Just as Shen Mo had said before, talismans were powerful, but the prerequisite was that she had to open more chests than others.

Finally, at the seventieth chest, she opened the first grand prize.

–Gold Slash Talisman.

A talisman capable of unleashing a brilliantly golden slash.

"The power isn’t considered very strong, but the advantage lies in simple manufacturing, a high success rate, and low requirements for materials, plus the power can be stacked." Shen Mo laughed, "This is the reason it was rated as a rare blue-tier item. If you accumulate a sufficient quantity, countless gold slashes could split even an entire planet open."

Konan read the information regarding this type of talisman, her eyes growing wider and wider.

Compared to it, the explosive tags, which were similarly simple to make, were simply worlds apart.

There would not be too much energy dissipation, the attack was swift, and the angles were diverse.

She would no longer need explosive tags from now on.

"The entire world will be changed by this kind of power." Konan looked at this pile of items, murmuring to herself, before suddenly raising her head to ask, "My Lord, the assets I can deploy right now are enough to buy how many Level 3 Chests?"

"About two thousand six hundred, I suppose," Shen Mo added, "excluding fixed assets and food reserves."

Nearly eight hundred million points.

This was undoubtedly a startling figure, the vast majority of which consisted of supplies, such as metals that were absolute necessities for war.

If entirely converted into wealth, it would even surpass the financial power of some major nations.

After all, this world was ultimately just a small world with a population of only tens of millions.

Moreover, plagued by years of war, productivity was dragged down.

The people in many countries were still lingering merely on the brink of barely maintaining a livelihood.
