Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

However, the so-called luck often comes in phases.

Dream of Void was also optimistic, wondering if one day in the future, he could suppress the Demon Emperor of the Horror Demon Clan with this skill?

Last was Zhou Baiyu.

[Performance Evaluation: SSS Grade.]

[Unlocked Achievement: Ascetic Legend Pioneers.]

[Reward: Eternal Laughter is among the divine treasures, nothing exceptional, its abilities and description you've probably seen. As a toy that brought joy to the king of gods in his youth, it bears countless laughter of the king of gods. It believes its existence is to bring laughter to the world.

Its ability is even inferior to Dream of Void, whether in a bounded state or not, its power is far from strong.

Unlike Dream of Void, which initially possessed strong attributes and could blur reality and dreams like Eternal Night of Night Demons upon forming a bond.

But Eternal Laughter is different, it's a divine treasure that is weak for the first ninety-nine steps, and only becomes suddenly strong at the last step.

Before completing the Divine Endowment, it can only be considered a decent tool. But once the Divine Endowment is completed—all the joy in the world will provide you with power.

But clearly, you do not wish to be divinely enthroned, do you?

Since you still retain a x6 pioneer value status, you will directly receive 30,000 pioneer points.

Also, since you are a newly-promoted legendary pioneer, unable to gain occupational abilities under special conditions, 'we' will offer you a special opportunity as compensation.

This is not an item, nor a trait, nor a skill, but an opportunity where you will have once, the chance to choose your own version.

But it is worth noting that within the same version, there are many different summons, you can only decide the version, not which specific summons. Moreover, this requires you to actively contact the intermediary for it to commence. When you always refrain from starting it, your other summons will arrive normally.

Lastly, congratulations on successfully stepping into the ranks of legendary pioneers, you have advanced to the third tier, contact your intermediary now, demon kin.]

[In three minutes, you will leave this scene and return to the transit station.]

Zhou Baiyu always felt... this reward was somewhat unsatisfying.

Normally, a typical version of SS grade would amount to just a few hundred pioneer points, but this time, with the sixfold experience effect, it reached 30,000 points.

But after careful thought, 30,000 points, after deducting the contract with Dr. A, did not leave much.

After all, there were four more summons, he would contribute 60% of the pioneer points to Dr. A.

This "tax" was indeed too high.

As for the divine treasures, everything was as described in the remarks...

This thing, was tricky.

The previous Dream of Void was definitely a Divine Artifact.

But this time, Eternal Laughter was that kind of thing that only when you become a god, would it exhibit god-tier value.

But Zhou Baiyu did not wish to become a god at all.

Without finding Harvey, confirming his own guess, he rejected all temptations to become god-like.

Moreover, in some sense, this thing was a source of contamination. Once bonded, the smiles around him would all become tainted.

So it seemed that the only valuable reward this time—was the choice of level.

"To maximize the value of this... you'd need to know what characters went through what kinds of changes at various stages."

"If used well... with a bit of luck, I might be able to kill some major boss before they grow up!"

"Hiss..."

The more Zhou Baiyu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

He had thought, a long time ago, if there was a possibility for a pioneer to traverse to a certain version, to annihilate some big figures before they became powerful.

Like the current Bai Ling, as the future renowned White Witch... what if I could kill her during my pass through the maggot tower?

Then Bai Ling would no longer exist.

Of course, it was just an example, Zhou Baiyu obviously would not hinder Bai Ling's growth.

But with one summons after another, along with some experience, Zhou Baiyu discovered a pattern—

The gods turned into rules, and these rules were actually trying their best to prevent certain situations from occurring.

Just like the maggot tower, that perverted area, yet only newbies are allowed in.

And it was the same with summons, what version of summons each person encountered really depended on luck.

But one would find that the stronger people tended to encounter later versions of summons more often.

Some past regrets, versions that have been completed but not perfectly, could definitely be completed with a better rating once their strength improved.

But the issue is... they could never return to that version.

So in a sense, "we" are protecting those future version's major monsters.

And now, Zhou Baiyu, having received the power to choose his own version, is considered to have received strong support from another part of "us" that stood on the side of humanity.

"As long as the version is chosen correctly... perhaps, I could receive unimaginable rewards."

With that thought, Zhou Baiyu felt that the reward was quite substantial after all.

"I've become a third-tier being, I'll need to ask Lin about the difference between the third and second tier."

"And both Lin and A, either of them must have some knowledge about some versions."

"I'm A's only 'follower,' and over at Lin's side, she's mainly betting on me; perhaps I can find out separately from them, which version they think would be most profitable to choose."

The three minutes quickly ended, and with the disappearance of the four pioneers' figures, the journey in the Land of Joy also completely concluded.

Zhou Baiyu did not care about this silent island.

Human history would experience countless changes, perhaps future civilizations would speculate and deduce the history of an island sinking into the sea.

But that had nothing to do with Zhou Baiyu; at this moment, Zhou Baiyu only wanted to know what valuable information the two intermediaries could provide him.

...

In Dr. A's transit station, Zhou Baiyu, uncharacteristically, did not waste time chatting with A. Upon appearing, he got straight to the point:

"A, even though you're just an avatar, but you should still remember something about the various summons you've participated in, about the history of the Advanced World, right?"

"I need information about versions, really valuable information!"
