Chapter 1058 - 994: Hidden Attribute: Wisdom
AM Beijing Time, the seemingly perilous and chaotic Eastern Sea Domain did not cause any trouble for Da Fei’s mighty fleet. Da Fei woke up naturally after a restful sleep, feeling refreshed. He couldn’t deny that sporadic naps and a full night’s sleep were two entirely different experiences. He was ready to pull another all-nighter tonight.
The first thing upon waking up was, of course, to check the system information messages. As Da Fei looked through them, he couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised. Aside from the two lines of sailing training information showing great results from several dancers, Anlicia, who had been silent for a while, achieved a major breakthrough!
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia has finished reading the entire 10 volumes of "Lionheart Empire’s War History" and additional materials like "Shaman Epic," "Beastman War Song," "Elf Kingdom’s Official History," and "Elf Narrative Poem," gaining significant insights and understanding. Experience +1 million, Knowledge +30, Attack +10, Defense +10, Advanced Defense Skill promoted to Expert Level, Advanced Attack Skill promoted to Expert Level! Wisdom +1 gained.
——Wisdom: A hidden attribute that can increase the probability of mastering skills, professions, and racial progression. The higher the wisdom value, the greater the chance of understanding and advancement.
Wisdom!
When Da Fei saw this final attribute line, he was dumbfounded! This was an attribute he had never heard of before; neither the public test materials nor the high-level forums had any mention of it!
It increases the likelihood of skill mastery! So, if wisdom is high, then perhaps mastering Master God-level isn’t just a dream? Ah, so this is the essence of the library AFK flow!
However, the library AFK flow is nothing more than mindlessly reading books, and low-tier ones at that, which can’t compare to Da Fei’s genuine acquisition of knowledge from various sources. They may AFK all they want, but they won’t necessarily achieve wisdom; otherwise, this attribute wouldn’t be completely foreign even to players!
At this moment, Da Fei knew he had finally opened a new door. Understanding Master God-level wasn’t that important to him now; what mattered was racial progression! Advancing one level from mortal means becoming a Saint! Saint Paul, Saint John, Saint George, Saint Tome, Saint Maria—they’re all Saints! And advancing one more level means Demigod! Of course, players likely can’t reach that stage; being a Saint is enough. Haha, wahahaha!
Just as Da Fei was laughing heartily, Alicia calmly approached him. Wahahaha, little rascal! Already playing deep with just 1 point of wisdom?
Da Fei quickly rubbed his hands together, grinning, and said, "Anlicia, congratulations on your major breakthrough! Did you highlight the key points in those books for me?"
Anlicia laughed lightly, "That’s exactly why I’m here; actually, history always comes with contexts and causalities. No single event can be judged independently, so there’s no such thing as key points. Everything must be fully understood. Also, you must quickly learn Beastman Language and Elf Language, or it won’t be effective."
Oh, come on! I studied English from junior high school to college, 10 whole years, and only barely passed Level 4 thanks to luck, then never had the chance to use it. And now, I never imagined I’d still have to diligently study two foreign languages in the game. I’m such a busy person who also has to keep the Magic Ball fully charged; can’t these things give me a break?
Da Fei could only sigh inwardly, "Of course, of course! Everyone, let’s work hard together!"
Anlicia smiled, "Alright, I’ve handed all the books over to Miss Elena now, and I’m going to research other books, so you just continue with your busy schedule."
Da Fei chuckled, "Alright, alright, Professor Ann, you keep yourself busy too!"
After Anlicia left, Da Fei remembered the crystal Hilda took for research; surely, she must have made some progress after these days in the game.
Thus, Da Fei visited the bar again, where the dancers were all meditating attentively on the floor.
Hilda greeted him with a smile, "Lord City Lord, welcome. All the young ladies have learned Meditation Skill now; they have promising futures ahead!"
Da Fei chuckled, "That’s all thanks to Miss Hilda’s painstaking cultivation!"
Hilda shook her head with a smile, "It seems you’re not all that happy and excited? Actually, from the surface, their understanding seems slow, but I’ve suddenly realized I’ve overlooked a very important issue—"
Seeing her suddenly keep him in suspense, Da Fei couldn’t help but urge, "What problem?"
Hilda laughed, "Ordinary apprentices should learn meditation in an absolutely quiet, forbidden environment. But these girls are different; they’ve always been on the rocking and swaying ship, meditating in such a poor environment. Lord City Lord, you can just imagine their potential in the future; not to mention their willpower being exceptionally strong! They’re all talents!"
Only then did Da Fei gain insight, unable to contain his joy, "So that’s it! Whatever future training requires, Miss Hilda, feel free to ask!"
Hilda laughed, "Proper future training isn’t just casual guidance; it means you’ll be formally hiring me as a spell teacher, right? Alright, my fees are not high: 200,000 gold coins per week!"
Oh my gosh! Talking about money isn’t very warm! Da Fei laughed heartily, "Alright! No problem, from now on, Miss Hilda is their official teacher!"
Hilda nodded in satisfaction, then took out the Hero Power Crystal of Hangeval, and solemnly said, "This is indeed the handiwork of a certain Demon God from the Guxin Family. The method of committing these crimes is completely consistent with the way those girls were harmed. It can already be determined to be the same deity! But this deity is very weak—of course, that’s relative to gods, and it’s not out of the question that it could be an avatar. From that perspective, the opponent is not invincible. As for how to defeat the opponent—"
At this point, Hilda shook the crystal again, "You can treat this as a breakthrough point. Do you know what this is?"
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, "Isn’t it big brother’s Hero Power?"
Hilda shook her head, "This is the same as the wig I made for you, both are Divine Power Mediums. The Hero Power in the crystal is limited, most of the Hero Power is with the Demon God. That is to say, when someone uses this crystal, they can instantly gain a large amount of level and experience from the Demon God, but once they die, the experience and level all disappear—more accurately, they are reclaimed by this Demon God Guxin."
Da Fei suddenly recalled the unbelievable level fifty-something pursuit by Skyshattering Thunder and was shocked, "So you’re saying, if I use this crystal, as soon as I die this skill is also gone?"
Hilda shook her head with a smile, "Of course not, the skills stored in this crystal have been sorted by this old hero, these are things the Demon God can’t reclaim."
Da Fei let out an "Oh" in relief.
Hilda sighed, "The remaining power in the crystal is so abundant, it makes one imagine what kind of power this old hero had at his peak. Are you interested in retrieving more of this old hero’s power, sir?"
Oh my gosh! Are we actually going to war with a god? This is too advanced for me to handle!
Though thinking like this, Da Fei couldn’t help but be moved, so he righteously declared, "Of course, big brother’s stuff can’t just be taken by the Demon God for nothing, I demand justice!"
Hilda nodded, "I mentioned before when making the wig that Divine Power Mediums are a way to connect with gods. Through research on this crystal, I’ve already found a method to contact this Demon God. But the difference is, I can’t modify this crystal to let you gain power from Guxin for nothing, after all, this is a medium for gaining Hero Power, completely different from the wig that discreetly siphons off a tiny bit of power from the Demon God. However—"
Hilda’s tone shifted, "But, we can forcibly demand power from the Demon God! In fact, your wig can also forcibly demand more effects from the Demon God, but the consequence of that is alerting the Demon God. There are two outcomes of alarming the Demon God: one, the Demon God completely severs the connection with this medium, no longer pursuing it, so the extra power you gained is yours for free. Two, you infuriate the Demon God, who appears in person to find the culprit, and that will be the time when you must be prepared to defeat the Demon God!"
Are we really going to war with a god! Da Fei was shocked, his eyelids twitching like crazy, "So what do I need to prepare?"
Hilda pointed to all the dancers present, "I mentioned last time, they are the key! Power works mutually, as the Demon God stole their power, their bodies will instinctively reach out to the lost power, so these victims are the most suitable candidates to utilize this medium in reverse, do you understand, sir?"
Da Fei hurriedly nodded. This is just like when the thirteen Guardian Angels countered the Demon King during the battle at the European Union’s Divine Punishment City.
Hilda solemnly said, "The specific method of operation is, wait until their strength has recovered amply, I will arrange an array in a place you consider secure, and this crystal will be the core to drive the array. Then I’ll activate the array, and they’ll come to help with all their might! This array is for forcibly reclaiming power, and only when they are strong enough can we instantly reclaim a lot, while your crystal can also reclaim much of the old hero’s power. The more formidable the spectacle we immediately create, the more the Demon God will believe we’ve encountered a God-level Expert, and lose the courage to wage war on us—most likely the first scenario where the Demon God concedes defeat, making us much safer."
Da Fei suddenly understood, "I see!"
The dancers present couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, "Please rest assured, sir, and Miss Hilda. We will absolutely train with all our might."
Hilda shook her head and sighed, "If you can hear us talking, that means you’re not focused on your meditation. As punishment, continue meditating another day!"
The crowd joyfully responded, "Yes, Miss Hilda!"
Oh my gosh, an entire day without even using the bathroom? Da Fei couldn’t help but marvel, "I never expected this crystal to have such great uses! I’ve always wondered how to oppose a god."
Hilda laughed, "Well, that’s exactly why a Divine Power Medium is like having the key to a god’s house; a god would be very cautious in giving it to a mortal. Losing this crystal is a major mistake on the opponent’s part. In any case, when the Lord City Lord has free time, go check on Ista’s progress; she is our main debt collector. Once she can become a hero ahead of time, we’re pretty much guaranteed to make the Demon God suffer."
Da Fei happily nodded, "Understood!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please consider voting for it on qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
