Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 855 - 415: Infinite Fusion’s Efficacy Remains Powerful! (Two-in-One)

"This guild is impressive; it even retains idle members?"

"That's because even idle members, after joining the guild, activate cosmic resonance, which boosts the cosmic development for every guild member. Therefore, idlers still serve a purpose."

"I understand."

Upon listening to Tumi's explanation, Chen Mo quickly inspected his universe's state with close attention.

Indeed, exactly as Tumi described, his universe experienced an accelerated growth pace thanks to the cosmic resonance.

The universe's experience refreshes each day at midnight, and with the present rate of cosmic progress, Chen Mo figured that even without any actions on the initial day, simply allowing experience to build up would let him advance two or three levels effortlessly.

Yet, he obviously couldn't afford to remain inactive that way.

After storing the Cosmic Source Crystal, Chen Mo grinned and inquired, "Any suggestions on what to buy? As a newcomer who's just received funds, I'm unsure about the best way to use them effectively."

"It's straightforward; all new arrivals receive a basic package of four essential items.

Start with a first-tier attack treasure, then a first-tier defense treasure, followed by a first-tier teleportation treasure, and finally, a 'low-grade first-tier cosmic secret technique'.

Equipped with these, unless you roam carelessly through The First District of the Cosmic Sea, it's unlikely you'll face mortal peril."

"Got it, thanks for the guidance, senior."

"No need for such formality; we're all part of the same guild now, like brothers," Tumi replied with a warm smile.

"Should I head to the market first then?"

"Sure, they already gave you a tour of the City of Origin before. Just stay within the Milky Way Guild Alliance's domain, and you should be safe."

After bidding farewell to Tumi, Chen Mo took Sun Wu’s hair and pressed it against the Source Communication Stone, which promptly released a faint light.

Right then, through the Source Communication Stone, Chen Mo detected Sun Wu’s entry clearly.

Using that connection, he tried reaching out to Sun Wu: "Brother Sun Wu, are you there?"

"I can hear you. Have your stats completely transformed?"

"Yes, though I learned that venturing into the Sea of Cosmos drains survival time. With higher ranks, acting in The First District of the Cosmic Sea isn't ideal. How do we proceed as a team?"

"Since I brought you in, we're aligned in our journey. I've only recently stepped into the second floor of the Tower of Eternity, so I can still operate in the first district without issue."

"Understood. Then I'll grab some starting gear, and we can head into the Sea of Cosmos as a pair?"

"Absolutely. Let me know when you're set. Our guild lacks others who can join me in the Cosmic Sea. Partnering with folks from different guilds is tricky because they distrust my Source of Chaos Guild affiliation, complicating things."

Upon hearing Sun Wu's sigh, Chen Mo couldn't suppress a chuckle.

Back in the lower realm, Sun Wu appeared so laid-back, yet existence proves harsh in the upper realm.

Members of the Source of Chaos Guild exhibit excessive isolation, tarnishing the guild's image. Even an alliance-seeker like Sun Wu struggles to collaborate.

He secured Chen Mo ahead of time in the lower realm, believing Chen Mo remained untouched by the upper realm guilds' biases.

This approach simplifies forming partnerships with him.

"Alright, I'll contact you once I'm prepared."

With that, Chen Mo stored the Source Communication Stone and made his way to the communal trading zone.

In this area, participants from numerous major guilds established booths.

Several shops run by guild business units also offered a range of goods to everyone.

As Chen Mo strolled about, he spotted plenty of vendors hawking basic secret treasures.

He reviewed the functions of diverse low-tier cosmic secret treasures and noted their powers were quite comparable, so no need for excessive selectivity.

The key was picking one that suited him personally.

For offensive treasures, his Emperor Bell already ranked as a superior first-tier cosmic secret treasure.

Acquiring another offensive one wasn't required, since enhancements from similar cosmic secret treasures only adopt the topmost value.

He merely had to obtain a first-tier defensive cosmic secret treasure, a first-tier teleportation treasure, and a first-tier cosmic secret technique.

Actually, a first-tier cosmic secret technique wasn't essential either, given the Emperor Bell's built-in offensive power matching a premium first-tier cosmic secret technique.

After careful deliberation, Chen Mo picked a low-grade first-tier cosmic secret treasure named 'Source Light Dark Armor'.

[Source Light Dark Armor·First-tier Cosmic Secret Treasure]

[Treasure Grade]: First-tier·Low-grade

[Secret Treasure Source Energy]: 0/10 (Replenish source energy to enhance treasure grade)

[Treasure Introduction]: Crafted from a mix of Source Light Stone and Source Dark Stone, it has extremely strong defensive capabilities.

[Treasure Attributes]: Equipping this treasure can increase personal Origin Life Force by 500 points and provide 10 points of Defensive Amplification

[Treasure Ability]: When receiving cosmic source force damage not exceeding 1000 points, reduces opponent’s damage intensity by ten percent.

In the past, Chen Mo’s cosmic secret treasures, when adapted to the lower realm, worked simply by holding them. But this one demands equipping for effect, suggesting the Emperor Bell, despite being a regular first-tier cosmic secret treasure, holds unique qualities.

This defensive item's power is solid, costing 100 Cosmic Source Crystals, which counts as affordable.

Chen Mo bought two right away.

His main goal was to apply his personal cosmic secret method, Infinite Fusion, to determine if these two cosmic secret treasures could merge.

At the Lord of the Cosmos stage, performing discrete fusion is straightforward: execute it entirely inside one's own universe.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You are fusing ’Source Light Dark Armor’ + ’Source Light Dark Armor’; both treasures detected are low-grade first-tier cosmic secret treasures (defense). They can be fused directly without additional materials.

Upon fusion, you will obtain an intermediate-level first-tier cosmic secret treasure (defense). Proceed with fusion?

Note that the fused cosmic secret treasure will be deeply bound to you and cannot be separated.

Upon your death, bound treasures will disappear directly.]

"No extra materials required? That's fantastic! Chen Mo promptly selected to fuse them."

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations on your successful fusion. You have acquired the intermediate-level first-tier cosmic secret treasure (defense) ’Dual Source Armor’.]

[Dual Source Armor·First-tier Cosmic Secret Treasure]

[Treasure Grade]: First-tier·Intermediate-level

[Secret Treasure Source Energy]: 0/30 (Replenish source energy to enhance treasure grade)

[Treasure Introduction]: Crafted from a mix of top-grade Source Light Stone and top-grade Source Dark Stone, it possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities.

[Treasure Attributes]: Equipping this treasure can increase personal Origin Life Force by 1000 points and provide 20 points of Defensive Amplification

[Treasure Ability]: When receiving cosmic source force damage not exceeding 1000 points, reduces opponent’s damage intensity by twenty percent.

With the defensive cosmic secret treasure's rank elevated, its stats instantly doubled in potency. The treasure ability improved too, from a ten percent damage cut to twenty percent, rendering it considerably more robust.

Driven by interest, Chen Mo scanned the market prices for others' intermediate-level first-tier cosmic secret treasures.

While low-grade first-tier cosmic secret treasures went for 100 Cosmic Source Crystals, intermediate-level ones climbed to 500 Cosmic Source Crystals, showing a sharp rise in cost.

Effectively, Chen Mo had invested 200 to gain something worth 500.

Spotting the potential, Chen Mo quickly ordered several additional low-grade first-tier defensive cosmic secret treasures.

He aimed to experiment if treasures with varying names could combine.

It became clear that, after evolving his Composition Ability into the current Infinite Fusion skill, he could indeed merge dissimilar items, provided they shared the same tier.

Armed with this knowledge, Chen Mo boldly selected from an array of low-grade first-tier cosmic secret treasures without restraint.

Even though the Legendary Guild loaned him only 1000 Cosmic Source Crystals, the elite reward he carried from the lower to upper realm had been appraised by the Heavenly Dao at 10,000 Cosmic Source Crystals, leaving him with a substantial total of 11,000 Cosmic Source Crystals in reserve.

Snagging a handful more low-grade first-tier cosmic secret treasures would pose no difficulty.
