Gold Rush - [ Chapter - 32 ]

As the voice said that, a ball of light then came out of an altar that was in the room and it showed a beautiful woman in a Chinese dress and she had an incredibly powerful aura surrounding her and so Hyun Ki was a bit surprised and scared.

Since she smiled as she looked at Hyun Ki and then she said, "Young Alchemist, you seem to have extraordinary talent like I said but if you want to receive a part of my power, you'll need more than just talent, you'll need a lot of luck as well.".

When she said that the rooms started to shift and the Tomb itself started to disappear as the floor started to move as he was being dragged away to another place and she said, "I'll give you a little gift before you go, have a taste of my power, good luck!".

[Ding! The Player Hermes has received a "Inherited" Rank Skill! You are a part of a small number of players to receive the type of skill! The skill is called "Eye's Greed", nothing will go past you, whatever the value and description you look into, you will always see the truth!]

After seeing the notification, Hyun Ki decided to try it out and as he did a yellow golden light started to shine from Hyun Ki's eyes and as he did this a golden version of the system appeared and different panels started to pop up in front of him.

Unlike before he was know seeing the description of the dungeon he was in and he could even see it's worth and there was a part of the description that interested him the most, it said, "Owned By: A Piece Of The Treasure Alchemist" which confused Hyun Ki.

Although the treasure, ancient and extraction alchemist, he saw before was extremely powerful to the point where they gave him pain from jusy trying to defend against them yet it was just a piece of their power, it really made Hyun Ki terrified but made him even more curious of their true power.

But his thoughts were put on hold as in front of him there were now multiple hallways and then suddenly a huge stone text appeared right in front of him that popped out of the ground and it said, "Test 1: Extreme Luck" and it had a whole description below it.

It said, "The first out of the three tests is your luck, as the treasure alchemist your luck must defy all meaning and with it you will choose among the infinite amount of paths the correct path and move on to the next trial.", Hyun Ki was a bit nervous.

Mostly due to the fact that he wasn't sure how the luck talent would help him choose among all of the paths which one was the right one since it definitely would be impossible to do this with jusy luck and so he started thinking how this would actually work.

If it was indeed in fact based on luck then Hyun Ki would be able to pass it without any problem because his talent is already godly but he wasn't sure how to use the luck in situations where it wasn't just a chance but it was a choice for him to make.

Even if he had a great amount of luck in game, it would be literally cheating if the game changes itself just because Hyun Ki had a lot of luck so it definitely wouldn't act like that so Hyun Ki just became more confused and frustrated.

He really wanted to figure out how this worked and even more on how to pass the test and a thought then came into his mind, "What if going through a path was a chance and not a choice." this question was still not confirmed though.

So he wasn't sure if he should try it but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense since if it was indeed in fact an infinite amount of paths created by the Game' ai, it would take an unnecessary amount of space creating new paths everytime.

Except if it was all the same path but with just an extremely low chance of it actually happening, it was definitely a good idea but even after all that thinking, it was still a theory that wasn't proved yet and so Hyun Ki decided to test it out by walking through the first path.

[Ding! The "Abysmal Luck" Talent breaks all odds turning the 0.00000000000000000....1% chance to 100%!]

Hyun Ki smiled as he heard the notification and then the treasure alchemist's voice could be heard as she said, "You didn't just get lucky you made the chance itself into a 100% for you? Hahahaha, you're a really fine specimen, you know?".

While she said that the room around Hyun Ki started to change as well moving onto the next test and the treasure alchemist continued saying, "You're really putting me to the test, my greed really wants you and I definitely want to make you mine.".

She exclaimed but then she sighed as she said, "Sadly those old farts realized your worth and I can't keep you to myself but I do want to see you grow as a monster, so let's make this quick both tests at once! Faster challenge, better rewards but an extremely difficult test, let's see how far you can go.".

Once she said that, a. red light started to shine through the cracks in the wall and the walls and the place around her started to change in a faster speed as the room expanded into an enormous room as a monster appeared underneath a huge pile of molten treasure.

After Hyun Ki saw the monster, he noticed it looked more like a girl and noticed it was changing itself into more and more into a beautiful girl and then went up to Hyun Ki as the monster smiled and laughed playfully.

Then it said, "Come on baby, tr-", Hyun Ki wasn't amused as he sliced off the head of the girl as a purple blood splattered everywhere and a stone text appeared saying, "Test 2 & 3: Control Of Greed & Potion Of Chance" as he read this he felt a chill behind him.

As Hyun Ki turned around and saw the girl was picking her head as the head was still moving and was still smiling at Hyun Ki and then it said it a teasing voice, "Aww, you wanna play rough, let's be rough then." she said as she snapped her fingers and Hyun Ki's eyes then flashed pink.

When she did this Hyun Ki then saw he was in a pink bedroom with the monster and so he then used his new appraisal skill as he saw that the monster was a Demon called a "Succubus" and he wasn't suppose to kill it in thos scenario.

So it confused Hyun Ki a bit but then remembered the details of the description of the test and now he read the rest of the description using his memory and saw that he needed to create a potion that required skill and luck combined.

The ingredients and materials for the potion was in the room and the recipe was on the stone text which he had already memorized so all he needed was to make the potion but he was still stuck with the Succubus and so he decided to jusy cut of the head of it again.
