Chapter 96: Chapter 89: Solidification! New Skill, New Trait

’Elements that exceed the world’s background?’

Fang Zhen raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on the screen.

’What elements in the Redstone Town Mine exceeded the world’s background?’

He racked his brain and could only come up with two things.

One was the demonic black smoke that appeared when he burned the sheepskin scroll.

The other was the unusual state of intense Spiritual Power concentration he experienced while learning the guidance technique.

Other than that, Magic was something that already existed in the Nameless World. He couldn’t think of anything else that was out of the ordinary.

Fang Zhen glanced at the two correction options on the screen and made his decision.

’Option 2. No hesitation.’

It was obvious that trans-limit elements were far rarer and more precious than Merit Points.

In Option 1, the Dungeon Life Game offered to reclaim the trans-limit element in exchange for compensation. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

It wasn’t that he completely distrusted the fairness of the Dungeon Life Game, but he had his doubts.

’Intelligent arbitration... but how intelligent? I have no idea. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a black box.’

He didn’t like the sound of that.

Besides, Fang Zhen still remembered a news story from years ago.

"A farmer found an Ancient Bronze Sword worth twenty million, turned it in to the state, and was rewarded with 800 yuan."

The farmer’s actions in the story were commendable and perfectly legal, and the state hadn’t done anything wrong either. But the story itself sounded somewhat absurd.

The Dungeon Life Game wasn’t the government, and Fang Zhen had no intention of choosing Option 1. It would be laughable if something similar happened to him.

So, Option 2 it was.

From the looks of it, this trans-limit element was extremely valuable. The options provided by the Dungeon Life Game made that clear. Option 1 offered Fang Zhen compensation, while Option 2 required him to *add* 100 Merit Points just for the chance to roll a die.

Viewed that way, the trans-limit element had to be worth an incredible amount.

’It’s worth the gamble.’

Fang Zhen made his choice.

He moved the mouse and decisively selected ’Option 2’.

"Your Merit Points have been reduced by 100."

The message appeared in a dialog box.

At the same time, a twenty-four-sided die gradually materialized on the computer screen.

Once on the screen, the die pulsed with a faint light. Below it was a ’Roll’ option.

Fang Zhen took a deep breath and clicked ’Roll’.

Instantly, the twenty-four-sided die began to spin rapidly on the screen.

Fang Zhen’s breathing quickened as he stared at the screen, waiting for the result.

1D24 meant one roll of a twenty-four-sided die.

True random, with no modifiers.

The opposite of true random is pseudo-random, a typical application of which is the shuffle feature on a music player.

When music players first introduced the shuffle feature, they briefly used true random playback. However, they were forced to change it due to user complaints. The users’ reasoning was, ’Playing the same song twenty-seven times in a row isn’t random, it’s fake random.’

The player companies couldn’t exactly voice their grievances. The fact was, true randomness can produce any result. The probability of a single song from a playlist being selected twenty-seven times in a row is minuscule, but with true randomness, it’s still possible.

Left with no choice, the music player companies switched from true random to a modified pseudo-random, which is the shuffle function used by most music players today.

Fang Zhen guessed that the Dungeon Life Game specifically mentioned the roll was true random to remind him that extreme outcomes were possible in any future situations requiring a random dice roll.

The die on the screen gradually slowed to a stop.

That was the number it landed on.

A faint golden light emanated from the screen.

Fang Zhen clenched his right fist and pumped it in the air.

"Congratulations. The result of the roll is 17. You will retain the ability that exceeds the world’s background elements.

You have solidified the Trans-Limit Ability: ’Source Power’.

Source Power: A fundamental, mystical power that transcends the background limitations of dungeon worlds. It possesses the ability to convert into almost any Extraordinary Power from any different world. With Source Power, you can convert it into the unique Extraordinary Powers of a world, regardless of its background or power system.

This is a remarkable power. Please use it wisely and do not squander this hard-won ability."

The message appeared in a pale gold dialog box.

’Source Power? This is it?’

As Fang Zhen read the description of Source Power, his scalp tingled and goosebumps erupted on his skin.

He understood.

Source Power could be converted into the Extraordinary Powers of most worlds within the Dungeon Life Game.

’Does this mean that in the vast majority of dungeon worlds, as long as I meet the conditions, I can directly learn that world’s Extraordinary Powers without any conflict?’

The realization hit him, and the hairs on his arms stood on end with excitement.

He shot to his feet and paced back and forth in his room two or three times in his excitement.

’Isn’t this basically like having the Little Faceless Skill from Jin Yong’s wuxia novels? No, it’s even more badass than the Little Faceless Skill!’

’No wonder it was a trans-limit element. Damn, this is insane!’

Seeing the description of the Source Power ability, Fang Zhen realized something.

The Dungeon Life Game had different world tiers—Nameless, Normal, Elite, Hero, Legend, and so on—a deep vertical progression. But horizontally, even within the same tier, there were probably many different worlds.

If all these worlds had their own Extraordinary Elements, the overall setting would be incredibly rich, but it would also lead to an unavoidable problem.

’What do you do when faced with the chaos and conflict of different Extraordinary Powers from different world backgrounds?’
