Chapter 104: Chapter 79: Two Skill Books, Hymn of Hope, and Celestial God Descent

That’s possible, too…

[Congratulations!]

[You have become the first Lord Player in this region to slay a Zero-star (Red) Heroic Unit!]

[You have earned the achievement “Hero Hunter”!]

[You have received your Achievement Reward… Dragon Crystal x50, Free Attribute Points x10, Wood x1000, Stone x1000, Food x1000]

[A region-wide announcement is now being made!]

Huh?

There are other skilled players?

Qin Feng paused for a moment, then summoned the 55 Dragon Crystals he had just obtained. He mentally debated whether he should use them immediately to upgrade Recruit Prisoners to Level 2, which would unlock the ability to raise Bloodthirsty to Level 3.

After some thought, Qin Feng decided against it. He would wait until he saved up one hundred Dragon Crystals, then upgrade the Recruit Prisoners and Bloodthirsty Talents all at once.

The main reason was this.

His ability to defeat King Rado, the Gluttony’s Chosen, this time…

…aside from the Genius Youth, Diablo, having a sudden Satori and awakening as the Source of Plague…

…the most crucial point was that Qin Feng had previously saved 45 Dragon Crystals, allowing him to pour them all into Evil Aura and boost his army’s movement speed by 100%.

Therefore,

to be able to handle more unexpected situations in the future,

Qin Feng felt that holding onto a few dozen Dragon Crystals as a hidden reserve to be activated in a crisis would be an excellent ace up his sleeve.

Besides, the Level 2 effect of Recruit Prisoners was pretty useless at this stage, so there was no need to be in such a rush to upgrade it.

As for upgrading it along with the Bloodthirsty Talent,

the reasoning was that the upgrade effects for the Bloodthirsty Talent were bound to be increasingly Heaven-defying.

The sooner he upgraded it, the more he would gain.

So, when that time came, there would be no need to hoard Dragon Crystals and waste a good opportunity to develop.

[Lord World]

[Regional Public Channel]

[Congratulations to player “Tingfeng” for being the first to slay a Zero-star (Red) level Heroic Unit, earning the title “Hero Hunter”!]

Peace Envoy Awan Niao: “????????”

No Money Great Treasure Sword: “????????”

Xiaocao: “????????”

Hafke Sniper Soldier: “????????”

Moonlit Observation: “Holy crap! Amazing! Zero-star (Red)! A Heroic Unit of that level! I remember their actual combat power is enough to go head-to-head with a one-star (White) Extraordinary Soldier! Lord Tingfeng actually managed to kill something that Heaven-defying?”

Meng Mengyue: “Eh? Is it really that impressive?”

Ya Chongtian: “Impressive doesn’t even cover it! It’s completely Heaven-defying! The Combat Evaluation system in this game! It’s almost entirely based on personal Attributes! And the higher the Combat Evaluation, the more attribute points it requires!”

“A Zero-star (Red) hero like that, not even counting any hard skills they might have that directly boost their panel stats, would need at least two of their Four-dimensional Attributes to be over 300!”

“Although the more attribute points you have on your panel, the lower the conversion ratio to Attack, Defense, and Life Value—what’s commonly known as diminishing returns… as long as the Lord System gives a creature a higher Combat Evaluation, it means that creature’s overall Attack, Defense, and Life Value can crush those lower-rated, low-tier soldiers!”

“In a straightforward, turn-based slugfest!”

“The creature with the higher Combat Evaluation is guaranteed to win!”

“Not to mention, these native heroes also have all sorts of strange Talents and skills, and might even be wearing Purple or Gold-grade equipment!”

“And what’s more!”

“They’ve mastered superb Combat Skills honed over decades!”

“What are commonly known as hidden soft skills!”

“All these advantages stack up, and it’s not a simple case of one plus one equals two, but one plus one is greater than three… Think about it. With your current strength, wouldn’t you be unable to beat them even if you gave it your all?”

“Even if you get lucky!”

“And have a large number of high-tier Divine Chosen Soldiers!”

“And you manage to kill a Zero-star (Red) Heroic Unit with Sea of People Tactics!”

“You still have to consider a tricky problem… if the hero decides to just run away, what method do you have to force them to stay so you can slowly grind them down!”

“So!”

“At this stage, killing a Zero-star (Red) level Heroic Unit!”

“Is almost as difficult as winning a head-on duel against a Heavy Cavalry Legion from the Gulad Empire whose members are all at the Zero-star (Gold) level!”

Hafke Self-destructive Vehicle: “Mm.”

“It really is Heaven-defying.”

“Our Alliance Leader, mad madam, her most impressive kill record right now is solo-hunting a Zero-star (Purple) BOSS creature.”

“If she runs into BOSS creatures or enemy heroes at the Zero-star (Gold) level,”

“she could probably put up a fight,”

“but the probability of failure is very high.”

“It mainly depends on what level the hero is, what kind of Extraordinary Profession they’ve awakened, and what kind of Heaven-defying modifiers the BOSS creature has…”

Lazy Prince: “Speaking of which, Lord Tingfeng is so badass, how come you guys at the Hafke Alliance didn’t recruit him?”

Hafke Sniper Soldier: “Sigh, of course we tried. It’s just that Lord Tingfeng’s birth point is in the northern region, and he wasn’t willing to move to our Southern Kingdom, so we had to give up in the end.”

Lazy Prince: “That’s a real shame.”

Xiaocao: “Holy crap! I’m in the northern Gulad Empire! Can I ask Lord Tingfeng to carry me?”

Ayy Upper Hook: “Heh! In your dreams! He’s a busy guy! Why would he waste time carrying a noob like you? Just go back to grinding by your lonely self!”

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: “Uh, well, actually, I think top-tier players like him are pretty easy to talk to…”

Ayy Upper Hook: “You think? I think it would be reasonable for Black Widow to get one-shotted by Doomsday Iron Fist’s hand cannon! You think what I think is reasonable?”

“Acting like you know Tingfeng and that he’d be willing to spend time carrying you!”

“Who do you think you are!”

“Daring to act all high and mighty in here?”

Ayy Lend DGCoin: “Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior? I remember this guy. I think he awakened a decent support Talent and was asking in the regional channel if there were any other players in the Northern Forest so he could group up. But it seems like he’s the only one there.”

Ayy Upper Hook: “No wonder!”

“Spawning in a shithole like the Northern Forest, with nothing but savage, primitive tribes!”

“His whole life is basically set!”

“Useless piece of trash!”

“No idea what he’s trying to prove, posturing in here!”

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: “…”

“Fine…”

“You’re right…”

“I’m not going to argue with you…”

Chengdu cool girl: “Dude, why so aggressive? Did some big shot bully you or something?”

Ayy Upper Hook: “Bully your mom! Isn’t it just because he had two extra years to develop and knows a few cronies? If it weren’t for his allies helping out, I would’ve killed that useless Reincarnated Player long ago!”

Chengdu cool girl: “Ooh! So you really were bullied? How pathetic! Can’t beat a Reincarnated Player, so you can only come to the regional channel to pick on other newbies~”

Ya Chongtian: “Isn’t this guy an idiot? Comes in here all aggressive, making enemies everywhere! Isn’t he afraid of people holding a grudge?”

Ayy Upper Hook: “Grudge your mom! If you’ve got the balls, come attack your grandpa’s territory! See if I don’t beat the shit out of you!”

Ayy Lend DGCoin: “Bro… you should really talk less…”

“Holy crap!”

“Let me just say this first!”

“Even though our names are a bit similar!”

“I don’t know him at all!”

“Please, all you big shots, don’t put me on your shit list too!”

Ayy Upper Hook: “Idiots! You’re all idiots! Especially those Reincarnated Players! Without your Player Alliances behind you, you’re nothing but dogshit! What the hell are you all posturing about every day? If you’ve got the balls, come and duel me one-on-one! See if I don’t kill you!”

Moonlit Observation: “Fine. You want a duel, then send me your coordinates. I’ll indulge you.”

“Private message!”

“Hurry up!”

Hafke Sniper Soldier: “Forget it, everyone. Just ignore this idiot and block him!”

“Let’s get back to talking about Lord Tingfeng!”

“C’mon, c’mon!”

“Place your bets!”

“Guess whether Lord Tingfeng killed this hero directly with his own raw power!”

“Or if he just kill-stole it from a Native Power!”
