Chapter 116 Hub Hall
"Why do you ask this?" Zhu Youchen asked doubtfully.

"Of course I want to conquer the sea!" Merolo said: "As long as I live for the same time as you, the chance of conquering the ocean will be greater."

Zhu Youchen was stunned and said: "Is there still such an operation?"

"This is already a generally recognized rule among puppet masters." Merolo thought it was true and started to popularize science: "Many puppet skills have corresponding optimal survival time."

"Then how do I know the optimal survival time of a certain puppet show?" Zhu Youchen asked curiously.

"It's very simple. The shops next to the space hub usually sell strategy materials, which detail the optimal survival time of various basic puppet skills."

Zhu Youchen nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Do you have any?"

"Yes, I have."

"Let's take a look." Zhu Youchen said bluntly.

"..." Melolo said with black lines on his head: "No way, senior brother, are you reluctant to buy one for yourself for such a cheap thing?"

"Yes, but it's not necessary." Zhu Youchen stretched out his hand solemnly.

Melolo looked at Zhu Youchen's palm dumbfounded, rolled his eyes, and then took out a delicate and compact booklet from the empty jade ring.

Zhu Youchen took the booklet and flipped through it for a few times, and then quickly immersed himself in it.

In this way, Zhu Youchen walked and watched, like a diligent scholar, and unknowingly came to the foot of Fenghuo Tower.

Melolo snatched the book back into his hands angrily, pouted and reminded: "It's already here~!"

"Oh." Zhu Youchen came to his senses in a daze, and then walked into the left gate of Fenghuo Building with a quick stride.

When we came to the space hub hall again, the hall was as noisy and lively as ever. The deep space hub shone with dark blue light. The statue of the Sky Saint stood at the back of the hall, overlooking everything in the hall.

Melolo seemed to be very familiar with this place. He rushed forward happily and looked around from time to time, as if he was looking for something.

Zhu Youchen, on the other hand, was more straightforward. As soon as he entered the hall, he went straight to the space hub.

"Don't worry, let's walk around the area first." Seeing Zhu Youchen walking straight towards the space hub, Melolo hurriedly stopped Zhu Youchen.

Zhu Youchen stopped in confusion, "Wouldn't it be better to go in directly? Why waste time?"

"Do you understand at all?" Merolo said with a speechless expression: "How can anyone directly challenge him as soon as he comes to the space hub hall?"

"Uh, isn't it?" Zhu Youchen frowned.

"Of course not." Melolo explained angrily: "The first thing you should do when you come to the space hub hall is to walk around to see if you can receive suitable puppet skills, and then go in to challenge. Take your high-grade puppet skills as an example, it is generally impossible for Xuan-level and Macro-level versions to enter the market, and you can only try your luck in the hub hall."

Hearing this, Zhu Youchen couldn't help but become serious, "Does the high-level version of puppetry have to be purchased in the hub hall? No wonder I can't find the Xuan-level and Macro-level puppetry in the Royal Puppetry Hall."

"Now, have you seen those slovenly people?" Merolo pointed to a group of homeless people in the distance and said: "They are all people who make a living by challenging the Holy Realm. Their daily life is to survive in the Holy Realm. Take Those who sell puppet skills for money are generally called holy realm profiteers."

"Profiteer?" Zhu Youchen asked with some confusion.

"Yes, they are profiteers." Merolo nodded: "These people rely on the puppetry resources in their hands to raise prices desperately, but it is undeniable that the puppetry resources in their hands are indeed the most."

Zhu Youchen nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Aside from these profiteers, are there other ways to obtain advanced versions of puppetry?"

Melo Luo nodded with a sweet smile and said: "Another way is to buy it from other challengers. After most challengers get the puppet skills, they will dispose of them before leaving the hall and keep what they need. If you don’t use it, just sell it to other puppet masters, and the price is generally much higher than that of profiteers.”

"I see." Zhu Youchen nodded clearly, and couldn't help but wonder why the teacher didn't tell him this when he came last time.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt relieved. The reason was simple, because he didn't have much spare money when he came last time.

"Let's go and have a look over there." Merolo happily pulled Zhu Youchen through the crowded hub hall.

After a moment, he stopped in front of a carefree middle-aged man. He was wearing a black shabby robe and his beard and hair were messy. He seemed to have just experienced a fierce battle. He was weighing a magic crystal in his hand, like Just passing the time out of boredom.

"Uncle, what kind of puppetry is it? What's the price?" Merolo walked up to talk to him in a familiar manner.

The middle-aged man turned back to look at the two of them, and said, "Mysterious Flame Collapse, price is 20."

"The flames are collapsing?!" Merolo covered his mouth and let out a sweet cry, his eyes shining brightly.

Zhu Youchen next to him couldn't help but shrink his pupils. In the previous exchange match, Mu Tiancheng used this trick [Flame Collapse], and the damage was extremely terrifying.

Of course, Flame Collapse is a fire element skill, so Zhu Youchen will definitely not be able to use it, but Melolo can.

"Senior brother, I'll lend you 20!" Melolo turned around excitedly, then extended his slender hand to Zhu Youchen.

"..." Zhu Youchen frowned slightly and said, "Borrow again? The money from last time hasn't been repaid yet."

"Oh~ It's not that I won't pay you back." Melolo said angrily. "Alright then." Zhu Youchen reluctantly took out two hundred magic crystals.

The middle-aged man was very happy. After getting the money, he directly guided a white ball of light from the sea of ​​​​consciousness, "It's so happy, little girl. Hey, it was just brushed out and it's still warm~!"

Melolo took the white light group into his sea of ​​consciousness, and then happily pulled Zhu Youchen around.

Zhu Youchen looked back at the middle-aged man and asked in a low voice: "How did you know that he had a puppet skill in his hand that he wanted to use?"

"Hehe, don't you understand this?" Merolo said with a mysterious face: "There are secret codes for performing puppet tricks in the hub hall. As long as you are doing it with magic dust in your hand, there is a puppet trick to be performed. Different magic dust denominations correspond to different levels of puppet skills. The magic crystal he just threw was a magic crystal in his hand, indicating that he had a mysterious level puppet skill to perform. Similarly, if someone is playing with a magic star in his hand, it means there is a magic crystal in his hand. A macro-level puppet attack."

"Is there such an operation?" Zhu Youchen was slightly stunned and couldn't help but search around curiously.

After searching around, I happened to see someone playing with a magic crystal in the corner.

"Does the one over there count?" Zhu Youchen asked with some uncertainty.

Melolo looked in the direction Zhu Youchen pointed, nodded and smiled: "Forget it, let's go over and have a look."

This time it was a young man in his 20s. Judging from his clothes, he obviously came from a wealthy family.

The two of them walked forward quickly and asked, "What kind of puppetry? How much does it cost?"

"Xuan level multi-blade sword, 18." The wealthy young man looked at Merolo with interest and said with a half-smile.

"Are combat skills so expensive? Are you crazy about money?" Melolo said angrily.

"The fighting skill is indeed much cheaper, but it has multiple blades. Do you understand the multiple blades?" The wealthy young man emphasized: "If you are not satisfied with the price, you can ask those profiteers."

Merolo frowned and thought, "Can it be cheaper?"

"That's 17." The wealthy young man was quite easy to talk to, and directly dropped [-] demonic dust.

"16. Although these multiple swords are powerful, they must be combined with the [Split Formation] to achieve the greatest effect. After buying it, we have to equip it with another [Split Formation]." Merolo bargained. .

The young man was slightly stunned and said: "Hey~ my little sister knows quite a lot, okay, just 16."

"Deal." Merolo nodded with satisfaction, pushed Zhu Youchen forward and said, "Senior brother, pay!"

"Want to borrow again?" Zhu Youchen frowned slightly.

Merolo rolled his eyes and said, "What are you thinking about? These multiple blades are for you to use. My eldest girl uses gloves."

"That's it." Zhu Youchen nodded clearly, then paid the money quickly and got the puppet skill skin scroll of [Mysterious Level Multiple Blades], and saw a brief introduction of the puppet skill on the scroll:
[Mysterious level multiple swords]

Attribute: war partner
Threshold for use: two stars and two leads

Effect: Condensing magic power on the blade, slashing with a double blade attack, the second blade causes 50% damage
Range: 4 meters

After reading the brief information about the puppet skill, Zhu Youchen couldn't help but asked in confusion: "It's only 50% extra damage. Are you sure this puppet skill is worth 16?"

"It deals 50% of the damage of the first blade, not 50% of the damage of your flat slash." Melolo explained angrily.

"Oh, that's okay." Zhu Youchen nodded suddenly.

"In addition, the multiple blades and the splitting array are a very powerful combination. With the support of the splitting array, the multiple blades can produce a very high burst." Merolo continued: "It just so happens that you also have a formation partner. This move The multiple blades are a perfect comparison.”

Hearing what Melolo said, Zhu Youchen suddenly felt his eyes light up.

He had seen the Split Array before at Yupu Xuan. The effect was that it could split to cause extra damage. Combined with this double sword move with multiple blades, it was a match made in heaven.

Take the mortal split array as an example, it can split for 25% extra damage, and with one move with multiple blades, it is 37.5% extra damage.

This is just a mortal-level splitting array. If it were a mysterious-level splitting array or a macro-level splitting array, the damage would be even more terrifying.

"How about it, do you still feel a loss?" Melolo asked with a hum.

"I still feel a bit at a loss." Zhu Youchen said thoughtfully: "I have to buy another move [Mortal Level Multiple Blades] after I go back."

"..." Melolo said with black lines on his head: "You are really a math genius. According to your calculation, wouldn't all the mysterious and macro level puppet skills be lost?"

Zhu Youchen nodded in agreement, and then continued to patrol the hub hall.

After searching for a long time, I found two more puppet masters who performed puppetry. Unfortunately, the puppetry skills of these two people were not suitable for them.

As a result, the two brothers and sisters followed each other to the foot of the space hub, preparing to start the holy realm challenge.
