With doubts in mind, Yi Shuihan decided to try again.
Another 10,000 spirit stones were spent, and the same process was repeated once again. This time, Yi Shuihan obtained a medicinal herb.
With another 10,000 spirit stones, I obtained a flying sword.
The process was repeated endlessly, and before they knew it, they had done it a full 100 times. One million spirit stones had gone down the drain, and the things they obtained were a mixed bag, some good and some bad.
"Could it be random?"
Next, Yi Shuihan conducted various experiments, such as changing the number of spirit stones.
It took nearly ten million spirit stones for Yi Shuihan to finally reach a conclusion.
This magic, created by accident, only works by randomly swapping items, and it only takes effect when the starting price is 1 spirit stones and the price exceeds 1.
It seems that the more spirit stones you have, the better the items you can exchange for. The reason it seems so is because there are also times when you have a lot of spirit stones but end up with junk.
However, generally speaking, the more spirit stones you have, the greater the chance of getting good items.
For convenience, Yi Shuihan named this the Random Exchange Magic.
"How exactly does this thing work?"
Yi Shuihan racked his brains but couldn't figure out why the formation was working; everything seemed so strange.
Having spent nearly ten million spirit stones, Yi Shuihan found that there was practically nothing of real use to him, which left him somewhat helpless. However, considering that the more spirit stones he had, the more good things he might get, he did not give up on this unexpected find.
"Spirit stones are for those below the level of immortals. If I use immortal stones as an exchange, will something suitable for me appear?"
I had this idea, but I couldn't test it because I didn't have any immortal stones.
The uncertainty is too great. Even if Yi Shuihan really has enough immortal stones, he would have to consider the consequences, unless he can use immortal stones as spirit stones like he does now.
The women had long been drawn to the commotion on Yi Shuihan's side. After learning what to do, they all started drawing formations and chanting incantations they didn't know were extremely shameful, treating it like a game and competing to see who could use the same temporary items to their advantage.
Lying back on the beach chair, listening to the women solemnly chanting incantations, Yi Shuihan didn't know what to feel.
"Wait, I was clearly thinking about how to transform spirit stones into immortal stones, so why did it suddenly turn into this?"
Gradually, Yi Shuihan's thoughts returned to the right path, and he began to think about how to transform spirit stones into immortal stones to accelerate his cultivation.
In the end, Yi Shuihan still couldn't come up with a good solution. He could only console himself that at least he had developed a random swapping magic, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
"Forget it, I'll wait until the system upgrade is complete before I think of a solution. I've come this far in the past few years, a few more months won't make a difference. I believe the system will give me a satisfactory answer."
Thinking this way, Yi Shuihan became lazy again, and listening to the laughter coming from all around, he felt a sense of happiness.
Chapter 640, Finally the Official Version
The night was filled with brilliant stars.
Yi Shuihan suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, his eyes filled with shock. The system update was finally complete.
"System, you've finally been resurrected."
He cried out in his heart, intending to get up, but then realized that he was being pinned down by the women.
With a quick glance, Yi Shuihan simply gave up on the action, since checking the system didn't require any special action anyway.
"Multiverse Skills System Official Version 10"
The first few large characters that caught Yi Shuihan's eye made him feel exceptionally warm and familiar.
"Haha, it's official, not a test."
He was very satisfied, and to make sure he wasn't mistaken, he looked at it at least ten times.
The official version has two more features than the previous test version. The first is skill recycling. Any skills that Yi Shui Han obtains from the system that he doesn't want can be recycled and exchanged for cultivation points.
If the first feature was within Yi Shuihan's expectations, the second feature surprised him: world travel. Yes, world travel! This means that even without completing missions, he would have the opportunity to travel to other worlds. For Yi Shuihan, this was fantastic news, and he would no longer have to worry about being trapped in one world.
However, traveling between worlds is not unlimited; there is a cooldown period. Currently, there is one opportunity to travel every 10 years. These opportunities can be accumulated, and the cooldown period will become shorter as Yi Shuihan's strength increases.
Perhaps because it took 50 years to upgrade to the official version, Yi Shui Han currently has 5 more chances to travel through time.
This time travel opportunity is divided into random and fixed-point. Random means going to a world that Yi Shuihan has never been to before, while fixed-point means going to a world that Yi Shuihan has been to before. In other words, now, as long as Yi Shuihan wants, he can return to worlds like One Piece and Naruto.
"Hmm, the basic intelligence has evolved into intermediate intelligence, which is about the same as that of an average adult. That's not bad."
"Huh? What's going on? My cultivation points and fusion points have all been cleared, and my lottery chances are also zero. System, come out here and explain yourself."
Yi Shuihan, who was in a good mood, suddenly became angry and loudly called out to the system in his mind.
This is outrageous! He had been saving his cultivation points, fusion points, and lottery chances diligently, reluctant to use them, intending to use them for crucial moments in the future. Now, they've all been wiped out.
"Host, stop howling. Now that you've upgraded to the official system, everything from before will be wiped clean. Didn't we compensate you with five time-travel opportunities?"
"What the hell? You think you can just wipe everything clean? Am I the host or are you the host? Doesn't the host have human rights? I'll give you back your time travel opportunity, but you have to give back my cultivation points, fusion points, and lottery chances."
"..."
"Tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"
"When it was upgraded to the official version, a bug occurred. An unknown force interfered and tried to forcibly teleport the system and the host to a spacetime coordinate. The system resisted with all its might and finally succeeded in resisting. As a result, the cultivation points, fusion points and lottery chances were all reset to zero."
Upon hearing that a bug had appeared, Yi Shuihan was immediately startled.
If this bug was just an accident, that's fine. But if it was a deliberate design by the company, then it's worth investigating.
Recalling the information he had received, that the system would automatically go to that branch office's world upon being upgraded to the official version, Yi Shuihan vaguely had an answer in his heart.
"System, I'm asking you, has the bug been fixed yet?"
"It has been repaired, and the specific spatiotemporal coordinates have been recorded."
Hearing the system's answer, Yi Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that the system was so helpful; otherwise, he might have faced an even worse situation.
"Display all the spacetime coordinates of the worlds I can go to, and compare them with the special coordinates I obtained."
“Host, I understand what you mean. You are right. These special spacetime coordinates are the spacetime coordinates where the branch office is located.”
Yi Shuihan didn't react to the system's words for a moment, because in the past the system had always followed his instructions in a rigid manner, but now it could judge his thoughts. It should be said that it truly lived up to its reputation as an intermediate-level AI.
"So this was indeed the company's backup plan?"
Yi Shuihan had always been very wary of the company, after all, even his system was created by the company.
It seems that the company's backup plan failed to materialize because my system's potential exceeded their expectations.
"I wonder if the company has done anything else to the system? I hope this is the last time."
That's all Yi Shuihan can think now, since the company's representatives are too powerful, and he has no power to resist.
Logically speaking, Yi Shuihan could return to the branch office to report for duty now, but unsure of the company's attitude, he has no such plan for the time being. He needs to wait until his strength improves further, at least to the point where he can contend with Murphy.
Looking back now, he realized that when he first met Murphy, he had no idea of her strength. It was quite possible that she was at the peak of the Silver rank or even the Gold rank.
"Okay, that's decided. I'll go back when I become Gold."
Putting aside his other thoughts for the time being, Yi Shuihan continued to learn about the upgraded system. However, because of the system, he fully realized its intelligence, so he didn't intend to foolishly try to figure it out himself and simply let the system explain it to him.
Before that,
"System, since your intelligence is now basically equivalent to that of an adult, I'll give you a new name. How about Hongjun? Or Pangu?"
"Please stop your silly behavior, host."
“I have it. How about calling upon the Holy Spirit?”
"Renamed successfully".
A smile appeared on Yi Shuihan's lips. So he already had a preference?
"Holy Spirit, tell me, what changes will there be in the official version of the system? You know what I want to know!"
A moment later, Yi Shuihan felt a stream of information directly transmitted into his mind, and he immediately understood all the changes in the system.
"Okay, that's blunt enough. Actually, I prefer to listen rather than be this direct."
Chapter 641, System Use Requires Caution
The system didn't provide Yi Shuihan with much information; it only took a few minutes for him to fully understand the system's changes.
"Even the three lottery draws per world are completely gone. Speaking of which, I've wasted several of these! I didn't use them in the branch office world because I was distracted by the main quests the system was giving me. I didn't use them in the Harry Potter world, or even in this world. Thinking about it now, it's such a painful realization. You only know how much you cherish something when you lose it!"
The lottery opportunity, which only comes once every hundred years, still exists, but it won't be of much use to Yi Shuihan in the short term. It's fair to say that the lottery function is just a decoration for Yi Shuihan right now.
Having said the bad news, here's the good news: with the system officially upgraded to the full version, all skills obtained from the system will now belong entirely to Yi Shui Han.
What does this mean exactly? It means that even if the system is disconnected, these skills can still be used. There won't be a situation like the previous one where the system was temporarily unavailable due to updates, causing some skills acquired through the system to be affected.
This news was undoubtedly exciting. It could be said that just based on this, Yi Shuihan felt that the system was worthy of the official version.
Besides the initial change, another change in the system is the skill upgrade feature. Speaking of skill upgrades, Yi Shuihan has rarely used this main function. Besides the fact that he has never had enough cultivation points, he always felt that it was somewhat unreliable. The skills upgraded by the system are not obtained through his own cultivation, which feels unreal.
At first, he was very weak. The system said that the cultivation points required to upgrade each level of skill were the same, and he foolishly believed it and was happy to come. Now he realizes that if he really believed it, he would have been really stupid.
Nothing comes without a reason. The power difference between skills of different classes is so great, yet the cultivation points required for upgrading are the same. This is simply unreasonable!
Now Yi Shuihan can finally rest assured, because there are now two upgrade modes: one is that the system will force an upgrade on its own, and the other is that the system will provide a special cultivation and comprehension environment in which skills can be comprehended and upgraded on its own.
There's a reason for forcibly upgrading skills: the skill being upgraded is linked to Yi Shuihan's own strength. For example, if Yi Shuihan is currently at the Silver rank, then he can only forcibly upgrade Silver-rank skills. In addition, forcibly upgrading skills also depends on Yi Shuihan's own talent, and there is a possibility of failure.
The additional upgrade that provides a special cultivation environment has no such thing as failure, because this environment is calculated based on time. The amount of time is equal to the amount of cultivation points you have. What you comprehend during this period is yours and will not disappear because of time. Even if you fail once, you can spend cultivation points to continue to comprehend.
In summary, forced upgrades reduce the time required for comprehension, have a certain failure rate, and limit the skill tier that can be upgraded. On the other hand, providing a special training environment for comprehension upgrades allows you to rely entirely on your own understanding, eliminating the possibility of spending training points without any improvement.
At first glance, this system is not even as good as the original one, but Yi Shuihan thinks it's normal. The system has gone from being omnipotent to having flaws, but that's what makes it more acceptable to Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan asked the Holy Spirit why nothing unexpected happened when he upgraded his Instant Flash to the Extraordinary level. The system's answer was that even if the skills at the Iron and Bronze levels were upgraded to the highest level of the Heaven-Defying, their power would not exceed that of the Silver level, which was within the controllable range of the system at that time. If Yi Shuihan had chosen a Silver level to upgrade, it would have definitely caused the system to crash.
This answer filled Yi Shuihan with lingering fear. If the system had crashed, he would have been truly devastated and might have died of old age in the One Piece world right now.
As expected, one must be cautious when using this system! It's definitely a test version; there are many unseen bugs. Luckily, Yi Shuihan is blessed with good fortune, otherwise he would have been scammed.
Compared to skill upgrades, skill fusion is always a reliable method, but the fused skills are not necessarily stronger.
"That's true. My system was created because of me. It wasn't a complete system created by some so-called heaven-defying powerhouse. It still takes time to go through the process of directly defying the heavens."
It's likely that many system testers have died because they were too careless, getting frustrated by various bugs, and ultimately the system crashed.
"So, the only thing the system can help me with now is time travel? Wait, no, I can also take out loans. With my Silver 3-star strength, I can borrow 30, so I still have some purchasing power."
Having thoroughly understood the changes to the system, Yi Shuihan felt much more at ease. Over the years of system upgrades and replacements, he always felt insecure, fearing that a powerful figure might suddenly appear and take his life. But now, Yi Shuihan declared, "I have the system, I have the world in my hands, and even a gold-level expert might not be able to take my life."
Next, Yi Shuihan did not immediately travel through time again, but stayed in the Three Kingdoms world for more than a month. It was not because he did not want to leave, but because he could not take the women into the contract space due to the lack of cultivation points.
Although Yi Shuihan can freely travel back and forth between the worlds he has visited before, it is also possible to place the women in this Three Kingdoms world, since with their strength, no one in this world can do anything to them.
However, the women clearly did not think that way. They insisted on being with Yi Shuihan and sharing life and death with him.
Therefore, Yi Shuihan has compromised and plans to borrow some cultivation points.
Yi Shuihan was truly lucky. The system was very considerate of him and issued a task: use the random exchange magic 100,000 times, and he would get the chance to use a skill once.
As a result, Yi Shuihan almost ran out of spirit stones and had to plunder Kunxu again before finally completing the mission and obtaining a large amount of items.
On the day before he left, Yi Shuihan helped all the bodyguards who had worked hard by his side for decades to break through to the Immortal Realm. He also instructed them to maintain the order of the Three Kingdoms and indicated that he might return in the future and then take them away to develop in a higher world.
Given the opportunity to continue progressing and developing, these people were naturally unwilling to give it up, and readily agreed to Yi Shuihan's request, since it wasn't a difficult thing for them anyway.
In this way, at least in the short term, the Three Kingdoms world will not undergo any major changes, which can be considered as Yi Shuihan doing something good for the world in the end.
Chapter 643, Preparing for Supernatural Abilities
"Actually, I didn't plan to stay in this city for long. After all, for someone like me who doesn't like trouble, this isn't a good place."
Yi Shuihan's eyes twitched, and he said.
Indeed, after confirming that this was Gotham City, Yi Shuihan had the idea of leaving, because he could not gain any benefits here, and Gotham City, known as the City of Sin, was not a good place to go. Although he was capable of solving everything with his strength, it was never comfortable to stay in a city full of crime, was it?
"Is it just that you don't like trouble?"
Bruce sensed the confidence in Yi Shuihan's words and became curious about the origins of this Easterner.
Just as the two were talking, the beautiful woman who had been rescued walked over, clutching her private parts.
"Thank you, Batman."
The blonde beauty was clearly very grateful to Batman, looking at him expectantly, perhaps hoping something would happen next, but she was destined to be disappointed.
Batman glanced at her, then turned and left. A short while later, the roar of his Batmobile could be heard.
"Actually, I came here to save you too."
Yi Shuihan said to the beautiful woman who seemed a little dazed.
The blonde beauty looked at Yi Shuihan, feeling his absolutely pure appreciation for art in his eyes. A look of embarrassment and anger appeared on her face. She snorted coldly and left Yi Shuihan with a beautiful butt.
