WTYTIAAN Chapter 86

Chapter 86

【Successfully Passed the Sigret Academy Entrance Exam (In Progress)】

【Became the ‘Midas Touch’ of ‘Mandipell’ (Completed)】

[Claim Stage Mission Rewards?]

Having left the advanced venue, Yan Yunqing casually clicked to claim. The experience pool for this series of missions was also very rich, giving him a large amount of experience rewards for completing only half of the mission.

Yan Yunqing glanced at it and found a blueprint box in his inventory.

Huh? The mission description didn’t show that a blueprint box would be rewarded.

Yan Yunqing studied it for a while and realized that he had received an S-grade rating for the mission of becoming the Midas Touch. This blueprint box was a hidden reward for a perfect rating.

…Then why didn’t his previous Sunset Village mission have a rating? Could it be that he didn’t complete it well enough before?

Or does the game system prefer him showing off?

Yan Yunqing paused, thinking of the clip that was edited into the game’s internal recording, and he understood.

Sure enough, the game system prefers him showing off, right? Is this encouraging him to show off?

After a moment of silence, Yan Yunqing decided not to speculate on the thoughts of the thing on the other end, whether it was human or ghost.

Showing off? He’s good at that. Let it record if it wants to. He can also manage a protagonist persona and create influence for him for free. Yan Yunqing wouldn’t mind more of that.

At most, it would just be a little embarrassing.

Yan Yunqing casually clicked ‘use’ in his inventory. The blueprint box was opened in the inventory, leaving only a purple blueprint.

Purple?

Yan Yunqing’s eyes lit up. He got something good! You should know that among the blueprint levels, purple blueprints are a rare quality, second only to orange blueprints!

Yan Yunqing multi-tasked and opened the blueprint.

[Blueprint · Substitute Doll (Purple)]

Can create [Substitute Doll] after learning

[Substitute Doll]

A cute and loyal doll. “When the distance between you and the doll is no more than five hundred meters, you can actively switch your position with the doll. The cooldown time for each active position switch is 20 minutes. (Passive: When your health bar drops to 10%, and you suffer a fatal attack, the doll, eager to protect its master, will actively switch positions with you to block the fatal attack. The doll will be automatically destroyed after this passive is triggered.)”

[Due to the special nature of the Substitute Doll, you cannot hold multiple dolls at the same time. Only one Substitute Doll can exist at a time.]

Yan Yunqing:?

Yan Yunqing looked at the skill description again in disbelief, and he clicked his tongue.

Is this really just a rare-quality blueprint? According to this skill description, this Substitute Doll could become a golden item.

This active position-switching skill is similar to the function of a portable anchor point, except that the distance is a little shorter, but it can also block a fatal blow!

What is this? This is a life-saving artifact!

Yan Yunqing rubbed his hands. Could it be that he’s lucky today? Why not try the blueprint boxes he hoarded before that he hasn’t opened yet?

No sooner said than done, Yan Yunqing directly opened a white blueprint box.

[Recipe · Berry Jam (White)]

Can create [Berry Jam] after learning

Yan Yunqing:?

Isn’t it a bit too much to get a recipe from a blueprint box?

Could there be a bug?

Yan Yunqing clicked twice again, and the recipe was still lying there silently, without changing at all.

Yan Yunqing: …

Yan Yunqing didn’t believe in fate and opened a green blueprint box again.

This time, a [Formula · Color-Changing Potion (Green)] appeared, a potion that can change skin color at will after being made.

Yan Yunqing took a deep breath, closed the inventory interface, and didn’t look at the two outrageous blueprints he opened.

Now he knows that the things that come out of the blueprint box are not necessarily alchemy blueprints, but also recipes and potion formulas.

One more thing, he’s really unlucky today. Getting gold on the first try might be because he padded out the guarantee in front, or the system is very satisfied with his showing off, so it gave him a little sweetness.

But that’s it.

In order not to continue to have a heart attack, Yan Yunqing decided not to open the boxes, lest another recipe pop up and piss him off.

However, being able to draw this Substitute Doll makes Yan Yunqing’s plan easier to implement.

He first looked at the crafting materials for the Substitute Doll. Unexpectedly, it was surprisingly simple, requiring only Shadow Spider Silk, Mithril, Ancient Tong Tree branches, and a little blood from the substitute’s owner.

Yan Yunqing had all of these things in his inventory, especially Shadow Spider Silk. He just happened to encounter a nest on the way to Freedom City, and he wiped it out, which also contributed a lot of experience points to him.

Yan Yunqing went straight back to the room. Rocco hadn’t returned yet. He was given a task by Yan Yunqing to steal a few bracelets.

Because Rocco’s talent skill only required physical contact, the theft target would be transferred to him after success. Therefore, even if the bracelet customers couldn’t take it off themselves, Rocco had a way to steal it.

Because he was going to make trouble later, Yan Yunqing needed more bracelets to muddy the waters.

In the past few days, Rocco had successfully obtained two bracelets, which were obtained from the low-level and mid-level venues, respectively. No one has found anything wrong yet, but after Rocco’s theft succeeds today, he has to stop. Things should not be done more than three times, lest Mandipell suspect something.

Seeing that Rocco wasn’t there, Yan Yunqing directly took out the alchemy table from his inventory and began to hand-craft the Substitute Doll.

I don’t know if it was because his hand flexibility was improved and his eyesight was much more precise, but the doll he made was surprisingly delicate.

Because of personal preference, Yan Yunqing made the doll into a small Joker, with chestnut hair, red eyes, and a mask, half a palm-sized, exquisite and cute.

At this moment, it was lying in his palm with its eyes closed, as if sleeping.

Yan Yunqing poked its cheek, but there was no response.

Huh, is there only a substitute function?

Yan Yunqing hesitated. According to the Substitute Doll’s instructions, he pierced his finger with a needle and squeezed a little blood on the doll’s eyes.

The doll’s soft fabric skin quickly absorbed the drop of blood, so quickly that Yan Yunqing didn’t even react.

With a swish, the Substitute Doll opened its eyes and sat up in Yan Yunqing’s palm.

It can actually move!

Yan Yunqing poked its head, and it fell to one side and then climbed up again, seemingly wondering why Yan Yunqing was poking it, but it still intimately hugged Yan Yunqing’s finger and rubbed his finger with its soft cheeks.

Yan Yunqing:!

It’s a bit cute?

“Can you talk?” Yan Yunqing asked.

The doll Joker tilted its head, as if it couldn’t understand Yan Yunqing’s words.

It seems it can’t talk.

Yan Yunqing poked its little belly again, “Then do you have your own thoughts?”

The doll covered its belly with its chubby hands, and there was still no special reaction.

Oh, it seems it doesn’t have any thoughts either.

It can’t be regarded as an alchemical life. It’s a bit like the alchemical city guards outside Sigret Academy, who can only execute according to the set procedures.

That’s right, after all, it’s just a purple blueprint. If you can create a life form through alchemy, it must be at least a golden blueprint, right?

Yan Yunqing poked the doll again. This soft touch is really good.

He placed the doll in the washroom of the room and walked to the bed. Using the position-switching skill, in an instant, the scene in front of him changed, and he appeared in the washroom.

Walking out to take a look, the doll fell on the ground by the bed, lying quietly, inconspicuous.

Yan Yunqing picked up the doll and stuffed it into his inventory. After trying out this skill, he was more confident in his next plan.

*

After obtaining the honor of ‘Midas Touch’, Yan Yunqing can now freely enter and exit any hall of Mandipell without asset restrictions. He also has the qualification to participate in the competition, as well as the various invisible benefits of Mandipell for the ‘Midas Touch’.

For example, he can have a luxurious room exclusive to the ‘Midas Touch’.

This whole floor of rooms belongs to the Midas Touch. Coincidentally, the Black Snake Mercenary Group, which took Nana away, is also on this floor.

Before, Yan Yunqing was not the Midas Touch. Even if he had members of the Children’s Corps as insiders, he had no way to sneak into this floor to find Nana. And the Children’s Corps was previously banned from entering this floor because Nana violated Mandipell’s rules.

If Yan Yunqing wants to take Nana out, he must first become the Midas Touch to have a chance to get close to here.

The panel has not shown any mission failure prompts. Yan Yunqing thinks that Nana should be fine, but it is estimated that she is not doing well. After all, Nana in the mission description is a flower about to wither.

After wandering around the rooms on the Midas Touch floor, Yan Yunqing determined the location of the Black Snake Mercenary Group and placed the doll in a blind spot. After confirming that there were no devices around that could record the scene, he left here.

Yan Yunqing used the chat system to ask Rocco to go to the dressing room in the elementary venue. He first entered a compartment and turned into a black cat by activating the acting skill. As his body shape changed, the bracelet on his wrist also fell off.

He deactivated the skill and picked up the bracelet on the ground.

This bracelet has a positioning function. He can’t use Xavier’s identity to make trouble next, so the bracelet positioning must be changed.

Yan Yunqing took out a bracelet stolen by Rocco from his inventory. The positioning function of the bracelet in the inventory will be isolated, so Rocco handed it to Yan Yunqing after stealing it, and he directly received it into the inventory.

He put on the new bracelet and moved his wrist.

Just right, Rocco had already arrived and asked him where he was in private chat. Yan Yunqing came out of the compartment and stuffed his bracelet into Rocco’s arms.

Rocco was stunned.

[Yan Yunqing (Private)]: Take this bracelet back to the washroom in the room, and then don’t leave the room. Wait for me to come back. If someone comes in the middle, pretend that I am taking a shower and try to delay time.

Xiao Ai said that this bracelet only has a positioning function and is not advanced enough to detect whether it is worn on a person’s wrist, but Yan Yunqing is still not at ease and told Rocco again.

Rocco nodded lightly, and Yan Yunqing waved his hand to let him leave.

After Rocco left, Yan Yunqing switched to the Joker’s persona, wearing the [Face Part for Masquerade Dance] mask on his face, which was slightly weird in Mandipell. He gently took off the mask.

The chestnut-haired ponytail youth in the mirror had delicate and gentle eyebrows and eyes with a hint of dangerous sharpness, and was completely two different faces from when he had black hair.

Of course, Yan Yunqing would not be stupid enough to use his real face in Mandipell. He has been disguised since entering Freedom City, only the obvious features have not changed. He still has black hair and red eyes, but his appearance has changed.

So he switched from one face to another, which is simply too in line with his onion person setting.

He put the mask back on. Well, since he’s going to make trouble, he should put the mask on.

Yan Yunqing tugged at the leather gloves on his hand. The exquisitely tailored dress was not abrupt in Mandipell. Or rather, the customers in the advanced and top venues are dressed like this.

Yan Yunqing re-entered the compartment, locked the door of the compartment from the inside, stood in the corner, and chose to switch positions.

The scene in front of him changed, and he returned to the floor of the ‘Midas Touch’.

Yan Yunqing moved his wrist and walked along the room that he had marked on the small map.

He knocked on the door, and there was a little movement inside.

But the door didn’t open.

Yan Yunqing knocked on the door again, and then a hoarse male voice came from inside: “Who is it? Don’t bother me at this time!”

Yan Yunqing frowned and glanced at the small map again, which showed that there were three people in the room.

One red dot and two yellow dots.

The red dot is undoubtedly the Black Snake Mercenary Group, so what are the two neutral yellow dots?
