Chapter 823: An Awesome Item that Failed To Receive Points 17 Times

Secondly, he had to solve the problem of First Building’s health so that she would not have to stay in Spirit Building’s body all the time. This was what he promised the young lady last night. After all, even though Su Yang was usually a little shameless, he would still honor such promises.

The third was… To compensate for his Silver Ability, [Eye Of Origins].

Because of the advancement of technology, information has become more and more important.

If Su Yang had information, he would have an advantage, and if he had an advantage, he would be able to secure victory.

Only by obtaining sufficient information would Su Yang be able to ensure that when he “reaped” the world, he would not be attacked from the back and would not be tricked by foreign enemies.

After all. The moment he walked out, Su Yang’s enemies were not just the company or the various “families”, but countries and alliances.

Facing such an opponent, it was extremely important to gain an advantage.

Right now, Su Yang was still early in the development phase and his information chain had yet to be established, he was relying solely on [Eye Of Origins] to obtain intel.

However, as Su Yang was getting more and more famous, and the development of technology had led to widespread monitoring, many competitors would consciously avoid keywords related to Su Yang in daily life, causing the effect of the [Eye Of Origins] to be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Su Yang wanted to make up for it as much as possible. Then, he would really start to work toward the world.

During this period, Little Hus and Little Deeny had been dealing with this matter.

Based on what Little Hus said last night, the two little monsters should already have a target and have been searching for it. So, there should be a result soon…Therefore, Su Yang was really looking forward to the surprise that these two little monsters would give him.

In fact, reality proved that there were times when Little Hus was reliable as it did not have Su Yang wait any longer.

Two days later, both Little Hus and Little Deeny looked for Su Yang, who was reading in the sky garden on the third floor, and reported their findings.

When Little Hus and Little Deeny found Su Yang, he was sitting on the swing reading a book. When he saw the two little monsters, Su Yang looked up at them and had a premonition. “Is it done?”

Little Hus nodded proudly. “Of course! Don’t you know who I am!”

Su Yang did not even look at him. He lowered his head and flipped through another book. “Of course I know who you are. I’m just afraid that you don’t know who you are yourself.”

Little Hus almost choked on Su Yang’s refute.

Little Deeny glanced at the happy couple and covered her mouth as she chuckled. Then, she took the initiative to change the topic. “Master, we have indeed done it.”

As she spoke, she walked to Su Yang and took out a silver balancing scale from her pocket. She then showed it to Su Yang.

Su Yang lifted his head from the book and looked at the balancing scale in front of him. “What is this?”

‘Actually, I’ve had many ideas about how to strengthen the [Eye of Origins], but… None of them had anything to do with a balancing scale.

‘Also… why would a special ability that is to do with my eyes, or specifically my sensory ability, use a balancing scale?’Hearing Su Yang’s question, Little Deeny explained to Su Yang seriously, “Master, this balancing scale is the most convenient tool for your enhancement.”

She explained what she had been thinking about with Little Hus. “We thought about the same thing at first and looked at the matter through the ‘keywords’. For example, adding the keywords ‘Mr. Su’ and ‘Jiadian Group’ as the trigger words for the [Eye Of Origins].”

Su Yang nodded as that was what he thought as well.

Little Deeny said, “However, after we tried this idea, we realized that such an item is too difficult to find. Not only would this item have to change a Silver Ability, but it also needs to be related to ‘keywords’. On top of that, it might even involve the laws of cause and effect.

“With all these conditions overlapping each other, there are just very few items with such potential.”

Su Yang thought about it and nodded again as he felt that what Little Deeny said made sense.

Little Deeny said, “After that, we wanted to find a special item that could directly possess the ability to ‘detect’. In other words, we wanted to make the special item and the silver ability work at the same time and compliment each other.

“But, it still failed. The reason is the same as the previous condition… The special item is too hard to find.”

At this point, Little Deeny patted her forehead in frustration. “That’s why things have come to a standstill and have not made any progress for 10 days.”

After feeling frustrated, Little Deeny became excited again. “However, fortunately, just last week, I suddenly had an idea… Why do we need to strengthen the Silver Ability! We’ve been looking at this all wrong!”

Su Yang looked at her in confusion.

Little Deeny showed the balancing scale in her hand again and said, “I feel that it’s actually a very difficult thing to enhance a Silver Ability, because it’s very strong in itself. In addition, we’re targeting the strengthening of a specific ability. So, the conditions are harsh and complicated, making it unrealistic to achieve.“So, I had an idea, and I thought we could change the way we think about this.

“Since it’s too difficult to strengthen the ability, I might as well just adjust the ability. Since the requirements for targeting a specific Silver Ability is too harsh, I might as well find a special item that could be used for all special abilities.

“This way, the requirement for this special item will be much smaller, and the range will be wider.”

Su Yang nodded thoughtfully. “So, you guys…?”

Little Deeny continued, “Therefore, the condition we set for this item is very simple… Something that can adjust special abilities.

“Therefore, it only took us five days to find an item with this potential!

Su Yang was enlightened.

‘I see.

‘It would indeed be easier to find special items with corresponding potential by reducing the abilities of the special items and putting a wider scope on its requirements.

‘They have been thinking about this the right way.’

At the thought of this, Su Yang looked at the balancing scale in Little Deeny’s hand and asked, “So, the ability of this special item is to adjust other special abilities?”

Little Deeny first nodded, then shook her head. “Master, it would be impossible to find out the true ability of a special item before it receives its point.“Little Hus and I only found a special item with this potential. As for whether this special item will be born according to our plan, we can’t say that for sure.

“After all, Little Hus has never looked for such a powerful special item, so I’m not sure if something will happen.”

Su Yang looked at Little Hus, who nodded its head like a good dog.

Su Yang stopped reading after hearing what the two little monsters said. He put the book aside and stood up. “Then, let’s add some points to it and see what kind of special item it is.”

After saying that, Su Yang took the silver balancing scale from Little Deeny, held it in his hand, and turned on the system.

As the system opened, a semi-transparent [+] symbol appeared in the surroundings. Su Yang tapped on the symbol on the balancing scale.

Then, a light flashed, and the point was added.

An item that had its first point added was just so unassuming. There were no special effects, and there was no need to add any supplementary items either.

When the two little monsters saw Su Yang adding a point, Little Deeny and Little Hus came to Su Yang’s side as well. One of them sat beside Su Yang while the other laid by his feet and waited patiently for the balancing scales to be completed.

After five to six minutes, Su Yang read another seven to eight pages of his book before a beep sounded beside his ear. At the same time, a notification popped up before his eyes. [Failed To Add A Point].

‘Failed to add a point…?’

Su Yang was stunned.‘How long has it been since I’ve seen this?

‘I believe I’ve never failed ever since that time I failed to add a point for Little Deeny, right?

‘I’ve actually failed now?’

Su Yang was dumbfounded!

‘However, the reason why I failed to add a point for Little Deeny last time was because Little Deeny’s structure is too complicated. So, what’s the reason for the failure this time?’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang clicked on the question mark on the notification.

Immediately, the reason why he failed to add points popped up before him.

[Because this item’s potential is too high, the success rate of adding a point is slightly low, causing it to fail. The success rate for adding a point onto this item cannot be increased.]

Su Yang was speechless

He then recalled that when Little Deeny had failed to receive a point, the success rate seemed to have increased every time. Hence, he ended up having to add four or five times before he succeeded, giving birth to Su Yang’s most outstanding little monster.

‘There did not seem to be any other hints like last time when I failed to add a point.

‘Based on this, the reason why I failed that time and this time is actually different.’

However, Su Yang was not unhappy because he failed to add a point. On the contrary, it was because of this hint that he believed that Little Deeny and Little Hus might have found the right thing.

After all, according to Little Deeny and Little Hus’s research results, once this item had been enlightened, it could modify all special abilities to a certain extent, so its potential was definitely huge.

Hence, the system notification strengthened Su Yang’s confidence. ‘I’ve definitely got to add a point for this item.

‘But… Do I have enough Random Points?’

With that thought, Su Yang opened the system again and checked his current “assets”… ’45 special items, 19 little monsters, 7 Bronze Abilities, 4 Silver Abilities, 2 Silver Points, 12 Bronze Points, 87 Random Points, 23 Guardian Talismans, 7 Lucky Stones, and… 690,642 coins.

During this period of time, Su Yang had been increasing his coin income by leaps and bounds with the sales of Jiadian Mobile’s glass phones. Almost every day, he would earn close to 10,000 coins. After all, even after the initial shock period, the people who bought the glass phones would still show off and indirectly affect a few people. Therefore, Su Yang had accumulated close to 700,000 yuan in this period of time.

As for the Bronze Points, Random Points, Guardian Talismans, and Lucky Stones, they were all purchased by Su Yang over the past six months. His current mentality was similar to a hamster, where he would buy and store items even if he did not need them. After all, they would definitely be useful in the future.

Therefore, when Su Yang saw that he had saved up 87 Random Points, he was proud of himself. ‘With so many Random Points on hand, I’ll definitely succeed!’

Perhaps because Su Yang’s expression had been changing ever since he added the points, Little Hus and Little Deeny were looking at Su Yang curiously.

In the end, it was Little Deeny who spoke first, “Master, are you alright? Why do you look so pale?”

Su Yang came back to his senses and explained the situation.

Little Deeny and Little Hus looked at each other when they heard Su Yang’s words. Then, they came to the same conclusion as Su Yang. It seemed like this balancing scale was really a “treasure”. Otherwise, it would not have such great potential that the success rate of adding a point for it would be greatly reduced, and its success rate could not even be increased by other means.

With Little Deeny and Little Hus’s affirmation, Su Yang did not hesitate anymore. He held the balancing scale in his hand and activated the system again before choosing to add another point.

This time, he did not have to wait for long for the notification. In fact, it popped up before Su Yang in less than a second.

[Ding, failed to add a point.]

‘Failed again.’

Without hesitation, Su Yang added a third time.

[Ding, failed to add a point.]

Su Yang did not hesitate to add the fourth time…

Just like that, Su Yang added 16 points, but all of them failed without exception.

Furthermore, the time the failure notification popped up varied from one second to 10 minutes.

During the one with the longest waiting time, Su Yang even thought that he had succeeded.

However, at the last moment, the failure notification still popped up before Su Yang.

At this time, an hour had passed since the first time he added a point. Little Hus was tired from waiting and jumped down from the third floor…

He jumped into the yard to play with water.

After all, it was essentially a ragdoll without any flesh, so it was not afraid of falling to its death.

Little Deeny, on the other hand, stayed quietly by Su Yang’s side, waiting for him to add a point.

However, Su Yang felt that even though the little girl did not leave, her doppelgangers might be doing something else. Hence, he could make her do nothing but accompany him.

But, no matter what, Su Yang had already added more than ten points. There was no way it was going to end there.

In fact, Su Yang was already prepared for a long battle. ‘If all 87 Random Points get used and it still fails, I’ll continue next week (the Random Points would be refreshed every week). If I still fail next week, I’ll continue again next week.’

In any case, since he was selling his glass phones at a high price, he had an endless supply of coins, while the coins would “give birth” to Random Points, and those Random Points could be used on the balancing scale. Hence, with an endless supply of both coins were Random Points, the day would arrive when he could add a point for the balancing scale successfully.

Just as Su Yang was about to engage in a long battle, a notification popped up in front of him after he added more points. [Beep, successfully added a point.]

On the other hand, Su Yang did not hesitate as he turned on the system again and prepared to add more points to the balancing scale. It was as if this had already become his conditioned reflex.

Hence, just as Su Yang was about to click on it, the translucent interface that popped up before him finally caught his attention.

Su Yang was stunned. He looked at the interface before him. Then, he blinked… And blinked again. The introduction panel for the balancing scale had popped up.

For a moment, Su Yang was in disbelief. ‘I’ve succeeded?

‘I’ve suddenly succeeded on the 18th try?’
