Chapter 49 - 46 Brother is a Master
Chapter 49: Chapter 46: Brother is a Master Chapter 49: Chapter 46: Brother is a Master Editor: Atlas Studios The crossbow cannon roared, the beach was stained with blood, the sea churned with blood flowers, and the bloated corpses of giant crocodiles piled up into little mounds of flesh.
A flash of golden light, level 22!
Another flash of golden light, level 23!!
Golden light continued to flash, level 24!!!
With two cannon blasts taking down a BOSS, Da Fei’s level skyrocketed like a rocket! The once daunting BOSS became Da Fei’s massive experience after its last breakfast—no, it was the ladder to truth! What an astonishing frenzy of monster grinding! Before, encountering a shark at sea and getting 2500 experience with one shot felt like an incredible reward, but compared to the 15000 experience giant crocodiles now, it was nothing at all.
Why am I so awesome?
Wa hahaha, Da Fei’s laughter echoed high above the island, endless.
Little did Da Fei know, his rocket-like leveling up had already alarmed the professional observers in China! In just two short hours, Da Fei’s ranking soared from outside the million mark straight into the top 10 thousand in the world! And his rank was still climbing rapidly!
After all, Da Fei, who snatched the divine hero mission reward and was simultaneously being hunted across the server by God-level Hero Blood Sea Wave, was somewhat of a sensational gossip celebrity, impossible not to be followed and watched closely.
Host, “Hello to all player friends! This episode of Hero News is here with you again. Now it has been six days since the game launch. Let’s take a look at the current world level rankings.”
“First place is still held by the French player Natasha with her Vampire Princess specialty hero, level 29!”
“Second and third place are still the China Star Team player Little Pig Run’s Griffin Breeder specialty hero and Russian War Angel Team player Bapulov’s Siege Master specialty hero, at level 28! These three have been leading the top three for 6 days now, and their advantage is hard to be shaken by other players. Besides entering the game at the first time when it launched, this is also due to their powerful and early-game applicable specialties, and their tireless leveling day and night. Of course, we do not encourage regular players to follow their example…”
“As for the universally concerned world number one God-level hero, Swedish player Vitne’s Death Lord is still in seclusion, currently at level 21, ranked beyond a million. However, according to information gathered from the European Union forum, Vitne seems to have discovered the presence of a Bone Dragon in the wild. If he truly manages to recruit this impossible-for-players-to-possess-at-the-current-stage level 7 troop, his leveling speed is bound to soar to the sky.”
“And speaking of leveling speed, it’s worth mentioning that there is now a player in the China Region who has just skyrocketed his level at an incredible speed in the past two hours—equivalent to in-game time of one day. He is now at level 24. He is the red-named player Da Fei who is currently being criticized on the forums. This really is a very surprising thing. What’s more surprising is that he’s already level 24 and hasn’t changed professions yet. In short, we will further maintain focus on his progress!”
“From the analysis of the current top 100 on the level list, heroes leveling fast almost all have specialties in mid-to-low-level troop types. Comparatively, Alisa from the U.S. Supernova Team with her Unicorn Girl specialty appears very awkward, as players cannot obtain Unicorns, a level 5 troop, in the early stages. Therefore, her current situation is equivalent to having no specialty, and her rank is not much higher than average players.”
“So far, Magic Hero players are still at a disadvantage in the early stages. The consumption of mana, the recovery speed of magic calculated by in-game days, the expensive and limited supply of magic potions all severely restrict the early development of Magic Hero players. However, the late-game strength of Magic players is undeniably certain, so those majoring in Magic Heroes should remain confident—the future is bright, but the road is tortuous—”
Just then, in front of the camera, a staff member handed the host a note, and the host’s endless broadcast came to an abrupt halt! After a brief silence, the host said in astonishment: “Hello, player friends, latest news, the player Da Fei from the China Region we have been following has just reached level 25! Just before this show began, the latest news I received stated he was level 24, and in less than ten minutes, he leveled up again!”
Needless to say, the China Region game forum began another round of excitement. If Da Fei’s fame was initially due to his despicable acts connecting with God-level Hero Blood Sea Wave, now it’s solid strength! Many restless players on the forum speculated just how this notorious player could level up so crazily without changing professions.
Knowing the news, Blood Sea Wave was so furious that his heart bled! No matter how this trash leveled up, his achievement was obtained by snatching the reward of my God-level Hero! And there’s only one reason why he hasn’t changed professions yet—that’s because he hasn’t reached the shore. This enmity cannot coexist! No matter how much it costs, if this trash dares to appear, I’ll nail him to level 0 until he dies!
Deserted Sea Crocodile Island, as another giant crocodile collapsed violently, a golden light descended from the sky!
—System Prompt: Congratulations! You have leveled up to level 25! You gained 1 free attribute point, 1 skill point, health +2, command power +1, and received a personal basic damage reward +1.
—System Prompt: As a Junior Navigator, you have grown and are rewarded with 1 free attribute point.
Leveled up again! What excited Da Fei even more than leveling up was that the long-anticipated truth had finally arrived!
—System Prompt: You have collected complete information on the Cannibal Giant Crocodile on the Desolate Island!
—Gluttony Weakness: Reptilian creatures often cannot choose the size of their food and can only overeat and swallow whole, resulting in a decrease in defense speed by 45% to 75%.
Data was out, information was completed!
—System Prompt: Congratulations! Through constant reconnaissance collecting intelligence on powerful creatures, your Reconnaissance Skill has made a qualitative leap, and you have comprehended the Master-level Reconnaissance Skill!
—System Prompt: By continuously gathering information on powerful creatures and studying their weaknesses, you have acquired the full information of the “Intelligence Analysis” skill, and you have comprehended the “Intelligence Analysis” skill.
—Master-level Reconnaissance Skill: Increases hero’s vision range by 120%, able to detect creatures hidden in the Otherworld.
Wa hahaha! I comprehended it, I indeed comprehended the master-level skill! Not only that, I also comprehended the sub-skill! Intelligence Analysis, ignoring 25% to 100% of the enemy’s defense, a divine skill, the only explosive combat skill in Reconnaissance, with the divine skill in hand, wouldn’t my crossbow cannon explode the monsters to death! My life needs no explanation from now on, ha ha, wa hahaha!
Although unintentional windfall often fills people with joy beyond expectation, obtaining the long-imagined harvest through one’s own thinking, and then in a natural course is even more fulfilling and exhilarating! What made Da Fei even more delighted was that the comprehended master-level skill and Intelligence Analysis skill were system-given, not consuming his own skill points.
So it is! Comprehending does not consume skill points, equivalent to direct system rewards, while learning must consume skill points, which is not at all the same concept. Especially under the strained skill point conditions when upgrading becomes difficult later, comprehension is truly too important.
Through this successful comprehension, Da Fei already faintly figured out some keys to comprehending a master’s skill. First, the enemy faced must be much stronger than himself. Then, this type of monster must be from the same kind; only by repeatedly dealing with the same kind can a large amount of comparable data be accumulated, thus leading to comprehension.
Going by this, if one wants to raise the Attack Skill to the master level, the most reliable method would be to persistently target the same type of strong monster? But saying that, isn’t my crossbow cannon already at the Master level? It’s already been hammering strongly against the powerful crocodile BOSS, yet there’s no hint of information or sign of comprehension at all? Could it be all my brainpower was used up thinking about Master-level Reconnaissance Skill, and I had no capacity for the crossbow cannon?
Haha! No rush, no rush, having comprehended the first master’s skill, could the second be far off? No no no, Juan said in his diary that once one becomes a master, could the God-level be far behind? My character has become so godly, even if things go south, I can tough it out without having to bend over to others’ prices.
Indeed, from now on, I am a Master!
(Asking for all kinds of votes, ha)
