Multiverse Skill System

However, the difference between 50 and 60 points is not noticeable if you work hard. In fact, you might even become more proficient in magic. Therefore, ordinary people also have the opportunity to become excellent wizards, but it is completely impossible to reach the level of a high-ranking wizard.

The second special version is actually the one that was first researched. The amount of magic power depends on the user's willpower. At most, the user can have magic power close to Dumbledore's level, but it is also possible to have only a trace of magic power. This version is entirely prepared for those powerful ordinary humans.

The last deluxe version, which is the greatest achievement of later research, not only involves half the pain of the special version, but also grants twice the maximum magic power of Dumbledore's version. In other words, if a person can stay conscious throughout the entire process of taking the medicine, they could very well possess bronze-level magic power.

However, magic power isn't everything. To become a wizard of Dumbledore's caliber, besides powerful magic, one also needs an understanding of magic and various other qualities. Someone with a fear of heights can never properly wield a magic broom, which has little to do with magic power.

Magic is just the most basic requirement. Unless a child possesses such powerful magic and learns magic systematically, it is unlikely that they will achieve more. And how could a child have such a strong will and obtain such powerful magic?

Moreover, the incredible effects of the deluxe version are limited. The materials required to make one bottle of the deluxe version are worth ten thousand times more than those of the regular version. Furthermore, due to the current availability of materials, even with full production efforts, only a few bottles can be made each year at most. Just like its name suggests, it is truly not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

With this restriction, it becomes even more difficult for ordinary people to surpass pure wizards. Therefore, unless a miracle occurs, the possibility of a truly pure wizard becoming the strongest wizard is much higher. However, this is only for this generation. When the next generation comes, there will be no need to resolve to quit; everything will depend on their reincarnation skills.

Yi Shuihan provides the ordinary potions for free, as they are necessary for his mission. The special potions, however, are sold to the Ying government at a hundred times the cost price, which basically allows him to break even. As for the deluxe version, it is not for sale and is given away as a gift depending on his mood. Of the three bottles produced so far, one has been given to the Ying royal family.

The research institute established by Yi Shuihan had basically completed its mission by this point. However, Yi Shuihan could not simply disband it, so he gave them another research project: a super potion that could permanently enhance physical abilities. This kind of thing was being researched by secret agencies in various countries, and the magic world was no exception.

Yi Shuihan believed that these potion masters would definitely be able to develop potions much faster than ordinary people. From a magical perspective, the same thing would be much simpler.

The wizards in this magical world don't pay much attention to their bodies. Although they possess some powerful magic, their bodies are generally still very fragile. They can't even directly block bullets. Yi Shuihan wants to change this situation.

Wizards can also get sick and, like ordinary people, cannot tolerate hot or cold temperatures. This is very strange to Yi Shuihan. They all possess extraordinary powers, yet they remain primitive in this most basic aspect. Their magic tree is somewhat crooked.

"It should take about a month to completely transform New York into a magical city, then the entire country will be magicalized, and then we can consider the whole world. If that's the case, my mission shouldn't be too far off!"

After calculating the approximate time it would take for magic to become widespread, Yi Shuihan smiled. The origin of the low-level world was now completely his.

Chapter 562, Powerful Title Ability

"However, speaking of which, what exactly is the system's evolutionary energy? Could it be that this world truly doesn't have it?"

Despite the smooth completion of the mission, Yi Shuihan's original purpose for coming to this world remained unfulfilled. During this time, he tried to come into contact with many things in this world that might be the system's energy source, but all of them ultimately failed.

"Could it be that evolutionary energy is the origin of the world?"

For no apparent reason, Yi Shuihan had this idea, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. However, he decided to wait until he completed his mission to confirm whether it was appropriate.

The task didn't require much attention from Yi Shuihan, so he had some free time to do other things.

"After drinking this, I can activate the beginner achievement title 'Wine Taster,' which will grant me a beginner special effect aura. Different wines are all buffs for me!"

Holding a glass of Jamaican liquor imported from India, supposedly a special kind of liquor that can only be brewed in a mysterious mountain village there. The taste is actually just so-so; it's just very rare.

"Drink 100 kinds of alcohol" is one of the achievement quests in Yi Shui Han. This quest system was unlocked in the previous world when the title of Dragon Slayer Warrior was obtained.

Generally, there are 5 types of tasks. If you don't accept them, they will refresh after a period of time. Once you accept them, you must complete them before they disappear. A task is often accompanied by a series of tasks until the final achievement is achieved, at which point the task will no longer occupy one of the 5 task slots.

This means that Yi Shuihan can complete a maximum of 5 achievements at the same time. However, considering flexibility, completing 2 at the same time is the best, since he cannot know when the system will generate a high-quality achievement task.

The rewards for achievement tasks vary, so it's naturally more worthwhile to complete tasks with higher rewards than those with lower rewards.

Currently, Yi Shuihan is completing a series of wine tasting tasks, starting with the initial wine taster, and later there are several title rewards such as wine taster, wine master, wine grandmaster, and wine legend.

In other words, completing five consecutive tasks is considered to be among the most rewarding and realistic achievement tasks he has seen so far, which is why he chose this option.

There was once a mission to hunt Komodo snakes. The more snakes hunted, the more the Serpent Commander aura would be obtained. Eventually, anything with snake attributes could be controlled by him. Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan didn't know where the so-called Komodo snakes were, and he had never seen one in this world. Therefore, he had to give up the mission with a heavy heart, since who knew when he would encounter one?

After finishing a bottle of Jamaican liquor, the system notified that the task was completed and the title of "Tasting Wine Expert" was awarded.

"You can only equip one title at a time?"

Originally, he wanted to use the halo of the wine connoisseur to test its effects, but he was prompted to remove the title of Dragon Slayer by Xiyao. This made Yi Shuihan want to curse. He had originally planned to complete various achievement tasks and obtain various titles. That way, even if some titles were not very effective, they could still play a significant role when added together.

"In that case, those weak titles really don't make it necessary to complete the mission."

After grumbling in his heart for a while, Yi Shuihan still changed his now rarely used title of Dragon Slayer to Wine Taster.

All of this was done silently, and Yi Shuihan did not feel any difference after the replacement.

"It seems we'll have to try it ourselves to know how effective it is."

Yi Shuihan took out a very ordinary bottle of beer and took a small sip.

"Ok?"

Beer, which was originally intended to numb ordinary people, produced a miraculous effect after entering Yi Shuihan's body.

"If I'm not mistaken, my next few attacks seem to have a paralyzing effect, but the success rate of the paralysis is only one percent, and the effect varies from person to person."

Is this what they call equipment bonus attributes?

Could it be that other wines also increase critical strike chance, attack speed, life steal, or something similar?

Yi Shuihan's imagination ran wild as he envisioned various weapon attributes in the game, which surprised and delighted him.

The success rate of 1% seems low, but consider that this is just the most ordinary wine. If you drink some very special wines, will the success rate increase? Moreover, the title of wine taster can be promoted. There are wine tasters, wine masters, wine grandmasters, and finally wine legends. Who knows if the success rate will eventually become 100%?

Moreover, putting aside critical hits, the lifesteal attribute is very powerful. Even one percent can greatly enhance the sustainability of combat.

Yi Shuihan estimated that as long as he had a few decent attributes and the success rate reached about 20%, his combat power would undergo a dramatic change, and taking on ten of the previous opponents would be no problem at all.

Thinking about this, Yi Shuihan finally understood why he could only prepare one title at the beginning. There was nothing he could do; the title was just so incredibly powerful!

Next, Yi Shuihan tried a hundred different kinds of wine, recording the effects of each one, and finally came to a conclusion.

When wearing the Wine Taster title, it seems that the maximum increase in attributes is no more than 5 and the minimum is 1. There are five main types of attributes: critical hit, attack power, attack speed, movement speed, and defense. All of them are increased by percentage, which is quite practical. After all, percentage increases will be effective no matter how strong one becomes.

Among the 100 types of wine, two special attributes appeared, which greatly excited Yi Shuihan. One of them was vampire blood. This attribute appeared when he drank a wine containing vampire blood. Three percent of the damage he dealt to the enemy was converted into his own life force.

The other is the Devouring attribute, which has a one percent chance of devouring a portion of the opponent's cultivation with each attack, equivalent to experience points. In other words, Yi Shuihan can improve himself in battle, provided that he brings enough of that wine called Zhan Lie.

"It seems I'm destined to become an alcoholic from now on."

Chapter 563, The Illusory Stomach

Yi Shuihan wasn't particularly fond of alcohol; he usually drank tea the most. However, the title of "wine connoisseur" was just too attractive, so he had no choice but to change his habits.

"Hmm, I also need a skill that allows me to drink alcohol as quickly as possible. Suddenly picking up a bottle and drinking in the middle of a battle would be too much of a waste of time and would create an opening for the enemy to attack."

I opened the system's skill shop and quickly found a suitable skill.

The illusory stomach, a skill of Bronze 3, is actually similar to a human talent. It allows the storage of food, including alcohol, and the direct extraction of its energy when needed. In other words, Yi Shuihan doesn't drink alcohol normally; during battle, this alcohol can be transformed into the source of the title's attribute power with just a thought from Yi Shuihan.

"However, it seems too coincidental that it happens to be all the cultivation points I have left."

Looking at the price behind the skill, Yi Shuihan hesitated, because he always felt insecure without cultivation points.

Considering that he did need such a skill, Yi Shuihan ultimately decided to buy it. Of course, another reason for making this decision was that he suddenly remembered a new function of the system after the last upgrade: credit. When he really needed cultivation points, he could still use that function. As for repaying the debt afterward, he could only deal with that later.

Ever since he developed the illusory stomach, people have often seen Yi Shuihan take out different colored wine jugs and gulp them down. Fortunately, he has a way to get rid of the smell of alcohol on his body, otherwise, not many people would like a smelly drunkard covered in alcohol. Of course, even now, not many people would like his sudden drinking behavior.

Different wines have different effects, but fortunately, the illusory stomach can distinguish between them, allowing Yi Shuihan to get the right effect when he wants it.

And thankfully, these effects are not limited to one at a time; they can be stacked.

Yi Shuihan, who was drinking wine with his head tilted back while holding a gourd in one hand, stretched out his other hand at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and then a black figure appeared in his hand.

"I've told you countless times that you're not allowed to drink."

Putting away the gourd of wine, Yi Shuihan looked at the Mingfeng in his hand with a helpless expression. He never expected that the Mingfeng would fall in love with wine after just one drinking session.

Of course, it's not a big deal if Mingfeng likes to drink. The key issue is that it has a bad drinking habit. Getting drunk after just one glass is an understatement. It gets drunk after three drops, regardless of the alcohol content. This is perhaps a piece of good news amidst bad news.

Once Mingfeng enters a drunken state, she loses her will and does something both funny and sad: she dances. You would never guess that she's not causing trouble, but dancing.

That's not the main point. The main point is that when the Dark Phoenix dances, it emits a mysterious fluctuation. Under the influence of this fluctuation, everyone whose strength is inferior to itss will dance along with it, whether they want to or not.

The first time it got drunk, everyone in the research institute, including Hogwarts, except for Yi Shuihan, started dancing to its rhythm. The scene was quite something, but Yi Shuihan found it incredibly painful to watch.

Yi Shuihan was very fortunate that his strength was above Hei Feng's; otherwise, it would have been awkward if he had been one of the dancers.

After that incident, everyone in the research institute, including those from Hogwarts, came to beg Yi Shuihan not to let Hei Feng drink alcohol. In order to prevent Hei Feng from having the opportunity to obtain alcohol from other places, they handed over all the alcohol to Yi Shuihan, and from then on, they could only drink alcohol when Yi Shuihan was present.

It's a fact that Yi Shuihan's wine cellar has expanded considerably. The second link in the wine tasting task, which is to taste 1000 kinds of wine, has already been completed by nearly half, reaching 343 kinds. This left Yi Shuihan unsure whether to praise or criticize Ming Feng.

……

"Director, a group of Eastern cultivators are outside, and they wish to see you."

"Eastern cultivators?"

Looking at Wayne, Yi Shuihan's expression was strange. His identity here was that of a mysterious Eastern cultivator, but in reality, he had nothing to do with the East in this world. Now that someone had come to his door, he felt as if his lie had been exposed.

There are no Eastern cultivators in the original work, and Yi Shuihan could not possibly know their origins or whether they practiced Taoist magic. It was all completely unknown to him.

Guessing the other party's intentions, Yi Shuihan followed Wayne to the reception room and met the so-called Eastern cultivator.

With their yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes, and familiar scent, Yi Shuihan felt a slight sense of goodwill towards the three unexpected guests before him.

"I'm Chen Yu from District H, currently working for the Peak Team. I wonder which group you belong to, senior? Don't you know that we've already taken over this entire world?"

"..."

The young man in charge spoke, which stunned Yi Shuihan. The amount of information he revealed was quite substantial!

At this point, it would be a miracle if Yi Shuihan still believed they were so-called Eastern cultivators, but it seemed the other party had misunderstood his identity.

"H zone? Top-tier team? The whole world has been taken over?"

Could they be subordinates of a force similar to this company?

Yi Shuihan, who had been nonchalant, suddenly became serious, not because of the people in front of him, but because of their place.

"So what? The top team! Heh."

Yi Shuihan put on a disdainful look.

"Are you a member of the Luo Qiu Clan? Impossible. How could someone from the Luo Qiu Clan be here? The Supreme God would not allow such a thing to happen."

The young man was horrified and muttered to himself.

The main god?

What the hell!

The Supreme God might represent a cultivation realm, but Yi Shuihan instantly understood what the young man meant by the Supreme God: the Supreme God who controls countless spaces, the one who sends reincarnators to various worlds to do missions, similar to the one in Infinite Terror.

To be honest, Yi Shuihan's heart skipped a beat just now, and he almost couldn't maintain his original expression.

Chapter 564, Main God Space

"Chen Yu, stop talking! He's not a reincarnator!"

Suddenly, a man with a cross-shaped scar on his face behind Chen Yu spoke up.

"Du Xin, what did you say?"

Chen Yu turned around abruptly, his expression filled with disbelief.

"Idiot, didn't you notice he doesn't have the Reincarnation Watch on him?"

"But the main god didn't notify me of any point deductions? If he's not a reincarnator, why didn't I receive any notification of point deductions?"

Chen Yu voiced his doubts.

"That's because he's not a native of this world either. He's not among the entities whose information the Supreme God cannot disclose. On the contrary, the Supreme God is quite fond of such special individuals. As long as you can persuade him to join the Supreme God's space, a Silver-level plot point is inevitable."

The last one, and the only woman among the three, was a girl with some freckles on her face who spoke.

"So you've been lying to me all along. I'll give you a chance to sign this contract and I'll let you go, otherwise..."

Chen Yu exuded a powerful aura, looking bloodthirsty and ready to unleash a massacre at the slightest provocation.

Yi Shuihan didn't care about the opponent's aura, even though it indicated that the opponent's strength had reached the Bronze 8-star level, which, if nothing unexpected happened, was enough to sweep through the world's power levels.

"Follower Contract!"

Focusing his attention on the contract in Chen Yu's hand, he instantly understood its meaning. As long as he signed the contract, he would join the God Space and become Chen Yu's follower. Although it was better than being a slave, it wasn't much better. If Chen Yu wanted, he could use his followers as cannon fodder.

"What happened, Chief?"

The commotion caught the attention of Wayne, who was waiting outside, and he was about to come in to see what was going on.

"It's nothing, you don't need to come in."

Yi Shuihan shouted outside, "It's best if Wayne doesn't know about the topic we're going to discuss next."

Chen Yu and the others gradually felt something was off about Yi Shuihan's calm attitude, but for a moment they still couldn't figure out the real reason. They hadn't even considered the possibility that Yi Shuihan was stronger than them.

In fact, there is a piece of information in the reincarnation space of Chen Yu and others that all reincarnators know: reincarnators must not exceed the world of their own strength. And in this Harry Potter world, the highest strength limit is Bronze, which means that theoretically there will be no Silver.

For some reason, the main god would not allow reincarnators whose strength surpasses that of the world to come to that world. Therefore, in Chen Yu's mind, this world would at most produce a Bronze 9-star powerhouse. According to their understanding, there is no such ultimate powerhouse in this world, so their strength is completely sufficient to do whatever they want.

That's why he's so reckless.

However, they seem to have overlooked one point: Yi Shuihan is not a reincarnator, nor is he under the control of the main god. Of course, it is also possible that they know this but still believe that Yi Shuihan will not surpass them in strength.

Seeing that Yi Shuihan remained motionless for a long time, Chen Yu's expression grew increasingly grim. After all, in his view, Yi Shuihan was just a lucky transmigrator, far inferior to him, who had experienced countless life-and-death situations in the Main God Space.
