Chereads / Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal / Chapter 2 - SSS grade talent!

Chapter 2 - SSS grade talent!

Wang Teng tried to calm himself down. The introduction of the talent appeared on the translucent panel.

"Innate talent: Unequal Exchange."

[Unequal exchange: you can exchange with all targets and get unexpected things.]

This explanation was a little too general. It seemed that he had to study it more to figure out the effect.

Wang Teng closed the panel and switched to the chat channel.

I wonder what kind of talent others have awakened?

"Haha, I've awakened! My Grade E talent is "impenetrable iron wall". When the talent is activated, my constitution will increase by 50%!"

"Hahaha! Didn't he just awaken a turtle shell? I have a D-grade talent, a mythical spiritual attack!"

"Even if your physical body is as tough as steel, can you withstand psychological damage? haha, I'm invincible!"

"Sigh, I have a Grade F talent that increases my sense of taste by 5 times when activated, but what's the use of a talent like that!?"

"Mine is also the trashiest Grade F talent, chest muscle strengthening."

The chat room was filled with people. Wang Teng wanted to see if there were any other people who had awakened an SSS-grade talent like him.

There were nearly ten million people in Yan city alone. It was impossible for there to be no SSS-grade talents awakened.

At this thought, Wang Teng re-entered the chat channel.

"Hey girl, why don't you come with me? I'll protect you, hehe."

"It's brother Qiang! What kind of talent did brother Qiang awaken?"

"Hehe, I've awakened a C-level talent, "Mountain-toppling strength". When activated, my strength will double, and my attacks will have a suppression effect."

"Heavens! A C-grade talent that not only increases strength but buffs attacks! It's too powerful!"

Brother Qiang, I'm willing to stay by your side forever!"

At this moment, everyone on the chat channel was flattering Su Qiang.

"Currently, only one person has awakened a Grade C Talent!"

"Did you awaken an SSS-class talent?"

Everyone was looking for someone that had.

A familiar profile picture flashed and appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"My talent is the only SSS-grade talent, Endless Extraction!"

"It was you? SSS talent? Do you want me to get you a plate of peanuts?"

"I knew you wouldn't believe me."

[Name: Li Ao]

[Innate talent: SSS-grade. Endless Extraction]

"This is... An actual SSS-grade talent!"

"Big brother Li Ao, I want to serve you for life!"

"F*ck! It's frustrating to compare with others, my talent is simply trash!"

Someone said with envy.

Seeing this, Wang Teng silently activated his talent.

[Unequal Exchange activated]

"I want to exchange for the SSS-grade talent, endless extraction."

[Exchange failed!]

Seeing the results, Wang Teng was stunned.

Could it be that SSS-class talents could not be exchanged?

[Friendly reminder ā€“ something must be given in exchange!]

So this was how it worked!

It was impossible for him to execute an empty exchange.

So... What should he give?

Wang Teng looked around, and his eyes lit up.

He picked up a pack of the half-eaten instant noodles and said firmly,

"Exchange!"

Buzzzzzz!

There was a flash of white light, and the half-empty box of instant noodles disappeared from Wang Teng's hand.

[Unequal exchange has been successfully activated.]

[Unequal exchange has entered cooldown. Duration: 24 hours.]

[This unequal exchange consumed 88 points of luck.]

[Friendly reminder: luck can be restored to its original state over time. The speed is 1 luck point per day.]

"Congratulations, you've received an SSS-grade talent, Endless Extraction."

"Endless Extraction: obtain an unexpected reward by touching any item.

As expected!

Wang Teng already knew how to use this ability.

As long as he locked onto a target, he could force an exchange.

Furthermore, he could use any item to exchange for it!

The only thing that was consumed was his luck.

88 points of luck in exchange for an SSS-grade talent, Wang Teng did not know if it was a loss or a gain!

Fortunately, his luck could recover over time.

On the other hand.

"Bam!"

"Who threw these instant noodles here?"

In the room, Li Ao stood up with an unhappy expression.

"Brother Li Ao, what's the function of your SSS grade talent?"

Only after hearing the tender voice on the chat channel did Li Ao's anger dissipate.

He swiped his finger and shared the talent description on the chat channel.

"Talent - half a box of instant noodles, can fill your stomach. Paired well with fried food. To protect your health, please do not use it often."

"Hahaha! You call half a box of instant noodles an SSS-grade talent?"

"It's actually the instant noodles talent. As expected of you!"

"Where's my SSS-grade talent? Who threw this half a pack of instant noodles at me."

"That's not right. I clearly saw Endless Extraction just now."

"Me too!"

...

"Everyone, don't reveal your talent. There's something fishy going on!"

Wang Teng entered the chat room and saw countless people flooding the screen. He immediately left.

The chat channel was a terrifying place, and he might be easily exposed.

He would never tell anyone that he has two SSS-rank talents!

More importantly, though, his two SSS-rank talents were both auxiliary functions and could not improve his combat power.

With his current 44 points of combat power, he could barely defend himself.

Besides, he still did not know what the new SSS-grade talent, Endless Extraction, did.

Suddenly, the mechanical voice was heard again!

[Announcement: all members have been awakened. Next, you will choose to explore the various Dungeons of the game!]

[Mission - Survive!]

[Time limit - Seven days.]

[Prompt - items from the real world can not be brought into the dungeon.]

After the notification ended, the translucent panel appeared again!

[Select A and enter the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.]

[Select B and enter the world of the Legend of the Condor Sniper.]

[Select C and enter the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.]

[Select D to enter the world of the Condor Heroes.]

...

Wang Teng's eyes were sparkling as he looked at the familiar world of the novel.

"Which world... Will everyone choose?"

"I'll go to whichever Brother Qiang chooses! Brother Qiang's combat power is the highest, and now he has awakened a C-grade talent. He will definitely become stronger in the future!"

"Yeah, yeah! Brother Qiang, we'll follow you!"

The crowd continued to discuss and flatter Su Qiang.

When Su Qiang heard everyone's praise, he could not help but feel proud.

"Everyone, I'll choose to enter the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils first to see how dangerous it is. I'll be your vanguard!"

After saying that, he chose C, and his body disappeared.

Everyone was silently looking forward to the chat channel.

Soon, all the records of Su Qiang in the channel were cleared.

[Warning. This is not child's play! This is not a game!]

"No. 440*************6654, Su Qiang has been killed!"

[Player deleted.]

Everyone fell into an endless silence...

In the blink of an eye, the highly favored Su Qiang had been killed.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

The cruelty of this world was much greater than they had imagined!

Soon, Su Qiang's relatives confirmed that he had disappeared from his home.

This message reminded everyone that this would really kill them!

Everyone felt fear.

[To prevent this incident from happening again, everyone will be given the skill "A glimpse of a startled swan."]

[Analyse a character's overall combat power. Power level cannot be analyzed when the target's combat power is 1000% higher than the user's.]

[Prompt - if you do not make a choice within 10 minutes, you will be randomly sent to various major worlds.]

The voice stopped abruptly, and the chat channel became chaotic again.

"Everyone, don't panic. Although it's very dangerous, we can still form teams! There's strength in numbers!"

"That's right. Our innate talents, when combined, are not inferior to those martial arts practitioners!"

"Grade-E talent: Shadow stealth, looking for a team!"

"Grade F talent, Yingying taste enhancement, please help me!"

Soon, everyone began to form teams.

Those who had awakened their grade D talents were greatly sought after.

Wang Teng looked on in silence, unmoved.

He did not want to expose his talent in front of so many people.

Everyone formed teams and entered the various worlds.

The chat channel slowly got less crowded.

Wang Teng knew that more and more people were forming teams to enter the dungeons.

In the last ten seconds, he took a deep breath and slowly said,

"I choose the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."

[The world of the eight Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils has officially opened!]
