The game continues.
But Lin Yi discovered that the marbles that had just broken through the blockade of the Giant Divine Soldier and entered the Heavenly Waterfall were now scattered by the water flow.
Most of them had flown off the normal track and fell into the bottomless abyss below the waterfall.
After passing the Heavenly Waterfall, it was considered as entering the core area of the Oasis.
From the top of the waterfall to the bottom, there were a total of five final checkpoints.
These five checkpoints were given a bold nickname by countless gamblers: Godâs Bedrock!
In reality, they were five circular discs that successively increased in size and were made of special rock.
The edges of the first three discs were raised to prevent marbles from rolling off the edge.
The second-to-last disc had three gaps on the edge, and if a marble slipped into a gap, it would fall into the endless abyss.
The last and largest disc had ten gaps.
At specific positions on these discs, whether in the center or near the edge, there was a special hole.
Only by entering this special hole could one drop into the next disc.
The special hole on the fifth disc at the bottom was in the center.
The marble entering this hole.
Meant the end of this long Oasis treasure hunt!
All the accumulated prize money could be taken away in full!
Lin Yi knew the purpose of the blonde, blue-eyed, impeccably dressed manager in front of him.
He was both here to resolve this trust crisis.
And to declare war on him.
He dared to directly abandon the Giant Divine Soldier because he was certain that Lin Yi wouldnât get through the next five disc challenges!
The reason was quite simple.
Because Lin Yi had lost control over those marbles at this moment.
At this moment, his gravity field was compressed to only cover a range of three to four meters around him.
But there was no way to continue forward.
This change only occurred after Durand appeared.
"Whatâs the matter, sir, you shouldnât be looking at me."
"You should be focusing on the game."
"Honestly, even as the manager of this layer, I am very eager to see the birth of another Oasis Master!"
"When you look up, in the attic above the Endless Oasis."
"There are five portraits hanging there."
"They all once entered the Eye of the Oasis, and to commemorate their glorious achievements, we commissioned portraits of them for countless players to admire."
Durandâs words were very polite.
Also, there was no hint of sarcasm.
But Lin Yi could hear the mockery in it.
What he really wanted to say wasâ
Go on, canât you cheat with your skills?
What, are your skills not working?
In fact, Lin Yi had discovered it from the moment he stepped out of the elevator and walked into the 27th floor.
The low-tier skills in his skill bar had dimmed.
Couldnât be used.
Once he sat in the playerâs seat of this Endless Oasis, it became even more apparent.
At that time, skills below Tier 8 for Lin Yi could not be used at all.
Now that Durand was beside him, even the Forbidden Curses had dimmed.
Only a few advanced Forbidden Curses could be barely used.
But the effects were greatly reduced.
"Demon-Banning Stone."
"A large amount of this stuff is mixed into the foundation structure of the entire floor."
"This stuff is very common throughout the Seventh Universe."
"Itâs said that the original Demon-Banning Stone veins were also mined by Sand Pirate King Roger, and he promoted it to the entire Galaxy."
"But I never thought that heâd be this ruthless."
"Actually grinding the Primordial Forbidden Demon Ore Vein into dust and giving it to his subordinates, making them take it regularly."
Cheng Xiaoâs voice echoed in Lin Yiâs mind.
His pupils contracted slightly.
The amount of information was substantial.
The effect of the Demon-Banning Stone was probably to prevent people from using skills.
In other words, it worked on all kinds of abilities and strange things.
But directly ingesting this stuff into the body to become a human-shaped walking Demon-Banning Stone seemed a bit exaggerated.
Wasnât this stuff poisonous?
"Of course, itâs poisonous."
"And itâs highly toxic."
"So these managers are taking poison while also taking antidotes."
"But over time, the organs in the body definitely canât withstand the strain and will fail ten times faster than normal people."
"From the moment of taking the medication to complete death, it would be no more than ten years."
Lin Yi closed his eyes.
His brain was rapidly processing.
The high concentration of Demon-Banning Stone in the entire Cloud Peak Mansion building, coupled with Durand as a super strong Demon-Banning WIFI standing beside him.
The suppression he was under was truly immense.
Others were betting their lives against him, what else could he do?
The gravity field couldnât extend to the Oasis Core Zone, which meant that seeing the already disabled Giant Divine Soldier in the future would be very difficult.
Lin Yi opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Xiao.
He didnât need to say a word, Cheng Xiao understood what he meant.
Iâm at my witâs end and itâs your turn now!
If worst comes to worst, just flip the table!
Originally before entering the instance, Lin Yi planned to depend on him, but now it turned out that he himself was working the hardest.
It was like reversing the heavens!
"Donât look at me with that kind of eyes."
"Youâre already stuck in a tough spot, and someone is taunting you right to your face, can you endure that if you donât win?"
"Yes."
Lin Yi replied immediately.
Cheng Xiao: "..."
"No, you canât!"
"Donât always rely on me, think of a way yourself, under normal circumstances, I wouldnât even be in this instance."
Lin Yi was speechless.
After all this time, it turned out Cheng Xiao was the one most wanting to slack off.
Speaking of finding a way, Lin Yi just thought of one.
Also the simplest and most violent way.
Since it is now the strength of the Demon-Banning Stone that compresses the intensity of his skills.
Wouldnât it just be a matter of increasing the skill strength again?
The Celestial Embrace Basalt that Cheng Xiao had given him earlier was still in his portable space.
As long as Lin Yi wanted, he could boost his gravity-type skills from half-Tier 9 to Tier Ten Ancient Forbidden Curse Level anytime!
Given the situation, Lin Yi could only open his skill interface.
A breakthrough in the heat of battle!
[Elevating Forbidden Curse: Earth-Bursting Celestial Star to Ancient Forbidden Curse: Earth Sinking Heaven Collapsing requires spending 10 million skill points and a special material: Celestial Embrace Basalt X1!]
[Insufficient Skill Points!]
Lin Yiâs current skill point balance had just exceeded the one million mark, with the cost to fill the 9 million skill point gap in Xia Currency being no small number.
But a prompt made Lin Yiâs eyes light up.
[Detected that you currently hold three types of valuable currency: Xia Currency, Blue Star Currency, Sali]
[You can now use any currency to purchase AFK rewards according to a certain ratio.]
[Current ratio: 1.09 million Xia Currency=1 day of AFK rewards]
[969 thousand Blue Star Currency=1 day of AFK rewards]
[3.061 million Sali=1 day of AFK rewards]
Hiss...
Sali can also buy AFK skill points!
Even though the value of Sali isnât as strong as Blue Star Currency,
It wins by the fact that heâs currently making a lot of it!
The over 6 billion Sali left in Lin Yiâs hands finally had a use!
And because it was won by gambling, Lin Yi didnât feel bad at all.
Go all in!
