Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg Chapter 1098
Chapter 1098 Ingenious Needles
Gerald closed the notebook in his hand and ran towards Sylvie. In front of Sylvie, there stood a massive metal door, and on it, the words [Ingenious Needles] were prominently engraved. The door is attached to the wall, as if there is a small room inside. Hector let out a sigh as he fished the remaining two keys from his pocket. After trying them in the lock for a moment, he successfully managed to unlock the front door. Crack! Crack! Crack! After the gate opened, a series of sounds could be heard coming from behind the door at this moment. The row of lights inside automatically turned on, illuminating the entire room brightly. Upon entering, a vast expanse of white greeted the eyes, with a mist flowing throughout the space. The surrounding temperature was also quite low. The room wasn’t very large, roughly around 100 square feet. After Gerald and his companions entered, they discovered that there were four or five objects inside, resembling sleeping pods. Upon seeing these pods, a look of ecstasy appeared on Hector’s face. Anabel, who was standing nearby, also showed a slight change in her expression and said, “This… is a cultivation pod!” Previously, Gerald had heard Hector mention this thing. As the name suggests, the cultivation pod is designed to assist in one’s cultivation. The martial arts of Havotune are somewhat different from those on Earth. On Earth, martial arts in their early stages rely more on self-cultivation without any assistance. Gerald’s rapid progress, aside from his natural talent, is largely due to his experiences in numerous life-and-death battles. In Havotune, things are quite different. Their technology is highly advanced, and they possess a new energy source called the “energy stone.” This material can also aid in cultivation practices. This cultivation pod, to put it simply, is actually designed to accelerate the absorption of energy from energy stones. Of course, all of these were secondary. Gerald and his companions’ gazes fell upon a glass door ahead of them. It appeared to be a box, with wisps of mist swirling around inside. Within the mist, an array of enormous syringes were neatly arranged. These syringes were quite enormous, each almost the size of an arm. Inside the syringes, there was a light brown liquid. “Ingenious Needles!” Anabel exclaimed excitedly. “This is exactly like the Ingenious Needles described in the records.” Gerald’s heart was also filled with immense joy. This treasure, which seizes the essence of heaven and earth, can help those at the supreme peak level of Flame Decay increase their chances of breaking through to the eternal level of Flame Decay. Although he has successfully reached this level now, both Triston and Blaine, as well as others, will need Ingenious Needles after they attain the supreme peak level of Flame Decay. “Look, there are words here!” Valery pointed at the glass door. There was an iron artifact above, densely covered with various inscriptions. Gerald glanced at it, and realized that it was pretty much the instruction manual for Ingenious Needles. [Ingenious Needles can greatly increase the chances of breakthrough when used. When applied under the eternal level of Flame Decay, the success rate is almost 100%. When used at the supreme peak level of Flame Decay, the probability of breakthrough significantly increases, although it’s not guaranteed to be 100%. The eternal level of Flame Decay and the supreme level of Flame Decay represent a tremendous transformation in the hierarchy of life! The recommended method of use is primarily through injection. After injecting, immediately begin cultivation. It will take approximately three days for the medicine to be fully absorbed! Side effects!] no “There are side effects?” Gerald’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. And then he continued reading. [This is a powerful medicine that can help one break through to the eternal level of Flame Decay. However, it relies on external forces for the breakthrough, making the foundation unstable. Although the hierachy of life still undergoes a transformation, it is ultimately dependent on external forces. Therefore, compared to breaking through to the eternal level of Flame Decay on one’s own, it is somewhat weaker! Secondly, this method involves completely overdrawing one’s physical potential to force a breakthrough. Once the breakthrough is achieved, it becomes extremely difficult to make any further progress!] Upon seeing this, everyone in the group couldn’t help but furrow their brows deeply. Among the seven people, excluding Hector, each one of them could be considered a genius. Before the age of thirty, the Supreme Flame Decayer, relying on their own abilities, would most likely reach the level of Eternal Flame Decayer in this lifetime. The only uncertainty was how long it would take to achieve this. If one relies on these Ingenious Needles to break through and reach the eternal level of Flame Decay, but then makes no further progress, it seems that most people would find it hard to accept. Triston grumbled irritably, “Damn, this is so uncomfortable. I thought I’d wait until I reached the supreme peak level of Flame Decay before using these Ingenious Needles, but what’s the point now?” Upon seeing these side effects, Triston immediately ruled it out. He didn’t believe that the limit of his potential was the eternal level of Flame Decay! He was three years younger than Gerald, and he had already become a supreme Flame Decayer. It was a sure thing that he would break through to become an eternal Flame Decayer in the future. “What a pity!” Kristian looked at these Ingenious Needles and shook his head. In this journey, he has already broken through to the supreme level of Flame Decay, and the gains have been nothing short of tremendous. Having broken through to the supreme level of Flame Decay, he now stood at the forefront of the younger generation within the Eight Forces. Although he couldn’t compare to a freak like Gerald, he was more than enough when compared to those below him, and only slightly lacking when compared to those above. Moreover, he wasn’t like Triston, who was desperately eager to break through to the eternal level of Flame Decay, to increase the Night Watch’s combat power. So, he could afford to take his time and slowly endure the process! Unless the Archaic Tribe falls. So when they saw this explanation, a flash of disappointment flickered in the eyes of several people for a moment. Of course, there was someone excited, and that was Hector! Reaching the eternal level of Flame Decay was already quite satisfying for him. As for the side effects, he didn’t even bother to think about them! “Anyway, we’ve got it now. Maybe we won’t need it, but we can always let others use it. Let’s take it out!” Gerald said. Hector nodded and pulled out the last key! “Here are some boxes!” Anabel walked over to the side and brought back a few boxes. The appearance of this box was quite enormous, and it contained fixed items inside, which were clearly designed specifically for storing these Ingenious Needles. Hector took out the last key and opened the door! Gerald spoke up, “There are a total of seventeen Ingenious Needles. Let’s divide them according to the established plan, 64 parts in total. We’ll take eleven, and the Archaic Tribe will get six. Is that alright?” In fact, Gerald and his group took a bit more than they should have, but not by much. Previously, when Dante did something like that, Gerald still maintained such a division. Naturally, Anabel and the others wouldn’t say anything. Anabel and Kristian quickly nodded and said, “Absolutely no problem!” After discussing, they each packed up their belongings. After finishing up, Gerald let out a sigh and said, “Finally, things are settled here.” At this moment, Anabel looked around and said, “There are still many instruments here, as well as this cultivation pod. After we return, they will probably come to transport them. If we find something valuable from our research, I will discuss it with Mr. Pierce and give you a share of the profits.” Gerald nodded and said, “Alright!” Each box could hold about five potions, and the boxes were quite large. Hector locked all the doors and, holding the key, said, “Let’s get out of here first!” A group of people walked towards the outside. Clack! Clack! In the quiet Promise Group headquarters, their footsteps sounded incredibly clear. “There’s someone!” Just at that moment, Gerald’s ears twitched as he heard the sound of other footsteps. “Be on guard!” he said, immediately looking in the direction of the sound. Before long, Gerald became stupefied as he noticed two figures leisurely walking towards them from a not-so-distant place. Upon seeing Gerald, the faces of those two people also revealed an expression of surprise! “Aarav Gerald looked at one of the individuals, his gaze deepened, and he calmly spoke.
