Volume 19 Chapter 173: Being cheated by the Mother of Earth

"Is this...?"

Before I finished speaking, I interjected: "This is not what you think."

"You know what I'm thinking?"

"I guess you just thought of the demigod crystal."

I nodded and asked, "Isn't this?"

"Do you think I have the ability to create a demigod for you?"

"Then is this..."

"Strength Crystal." The Soul Tree said: "You know that not all creatures in the underworld are just illusory spirits. There are also native creatures in hell, and they also have physical bodies. I am almost invincible to deal with souls, but when I encounter those guys with strong bodies, I can't help it."

"So you found a solution?"

"That's right. This method is to convert your energy into material form and give the excess energy to my transformed body so that it has super powerful blow power. Your magic pet itself has the ability to convert matter. I have now given him this power crystallization ability, and I believe it will be useful to you."

After the Soul Tree finished speaking, Phantom ran to me and said, "Master, look."

What Phantom showed me his attribute panel. I just read it briefly and understood the true meaning of the so-called power crystal. The name power crystal actually has nothing to do with the actual effect of this attribute, which means that it cannot be inferred from the literal translation. Judging from the true ability of this power crystal, this skill should actually be called magic strike, which may be more reliable.

We all know that the attack methods used by players in combat are mainly divided into two types: physical damage and magic damage. As for other damage types, although they also exist, they are very small in number. For example, soul attack, this is a relatively common special attack method. In fact, soul attacks are relatively large, and the truly rare attack methods include curse killing and causal attacks. Those attack methods are simply incredible and cannot calculate damage values ​​or anything else.

The ability of the Soul Tree to Phantom is a skill that converts all attack methods, including rare attacks, into physical damage. This skill allows people affected by the skills to superimpose their magic damage or other special damage on their physical attack power, which can produce super high physical strike ability.

In fact, if the Phantom only acquires this ability, it's nothing. After all, this skill only allows the Phantom to convert his soul attack into a physical attack. However, the Phantom itself has the ability to materialize, which means that he has physical attack power. Although this skill can increase damage to him, it is somewhat repetitive and does not actually make much sense. However, the Soul Tree does not give Phantom a simple ability that looks like the attributes of the body, but an active skill, a ability that needs to be used to take effect, and... this skill can be used by others.

The last one is the key. Phantom is my magic pet. If his skills can be used by others, it means that my other magic pets and I will obtain this ability, so our physical strike ability will be multiplied. This skill was originally a skill created by the Soul Tree to solve the defect of its lack of physical attack power, so for the Soul Tree, who has no physical damage, this skill only gives them an additional attack method. However, for those of us who already have physical attack ability, this skill is a bit perverted.

Suppose there is a low-level spirit, which does not have physical attack power because of its low level, but it has 500 soul attack power. If power crystal is used on him, then he will gain the ability to transform special attacks into physical attacks, that is, he has 500 physical attack power. From this process, it can be seen that this transformation ability does not have any special performance in spirits that do not have physical attack power. However, when we change the object of action, the effect is completely different.

Again, there is a low-level creature with four hundred physical attack power and one hundred and fifty magic attack power. Such an existence should normally not be able to defeat the low-level spirit body in front, because he can only use one attack method at a time, and his physical attack is completely invalid for the spirit body. With one hundred and fifty magic attack power and five hundred attack spirit body, the victory and defeat are obvious. However, what would happen if he was given the power crystallization ability now? After this low-level creature has obtained the power crystallization ability, its magic attack will be transformed into a physical attack, but he already has physical attack power, so these two

One attack will... superimpose. That's right, it's superimpose. The creature with four hundred physical attack power now has 550 attack power. Of course, he still can't fight that spirit body now, because physical attacks are ineffective against spirit bodies. But if they deal with the same two enemies that can be damaged by physical attacks, this creature that was originally weaker than spirit bodies will exert a stronger combat power than spirit bodies. It can be seen that although this skill was invented to serve spirit bodies without physical attack power, its true perverted effect can be used on creatures that are both cultivating objects and demons to completely explode.

As a beast trainer, my magic attack power is actually far less than that of physical attacks, but compared to ordinary players, my magic attack is actually very strong. Now that I suddenly superimpose my magic attack on the physical attack, the actual attack power... Anyway, it must be very perverted.

"Thank you so much, this skill is very good." After reading the attributes, I immediately thanked the Soul Tree excitedly. After all, the effect of this skill is really too strong, especially for people like me who have high physical and demon attacks, this skill is simply a pervert.

Of course, this skill also has its shortcomings. For example, when I deal with enemies that are not afraid of physical damage, this skill is completely useless. However, there are not many creatures in the game that are not afraid of physical damage, so in most cases this skill is quite useful.

After completing the mission of the Soul Tree, I took back the demon pets and returned to Esinger and threw the spirit body that I had captured from the Soul Tree and gave it to the research unit. After confirming that they understood what I wanted them to study, I immediately turned to the Institute and went directly to the Earth Goddess.

"Why are you back so soon?" Seeing me walking into her temple, the Mother of Earth looked at me with a little surprise and asked, "You won't have finished running, are you?"

"Wouldn't it be better for me to complete it quickly?" I was surprised this time. But I didn't hear that the people who posted the task were idle and others completed it too quickly.

The Mother of Earth said embarrassedly: "It's not that I'm idle that you completed it too quickly, but I haven't caught the rewards I prepared for you yet!"

"What does it mean to have not been caught yet? Is the mission reward a living thing?" I asked at the Mother of Earth in confusion.

The Mother of Earth nodded directly and said, "I have prepared a very good magic pet for you this time. Even in our superior god world, it is a very popular pet. However, this thing is very cunning and not easy to catch. I had told someone to help me catch it before, but I didn't expect that the guy would actually hand over the mission before you caught it. After all, according to your habits, I thought you would have to wait at least a few months before you handed over this mission."

"I happened to have time recently, so I'll finish it by the way." As I said, I handed the seedlings of the World Tree to the Mother of Earth, and said, "I'll hand over the task first, you can give it to me later, but I'm not afraid of you stumble on the debt."

Mother Earth smiled and took the seedlings of the World Tree and thought for a while, "Or what do you think about this? Actually, I know that there is a ready-made thing, and it is very high-level. Even in the tribe of that thing, it is a rare treasured individual, but that thing is not with me. But I can come forward to make a bet with the other party's owner. If the bet wins, the ready-made demon pet belongs to you. If you lose, I am responsible for paying the bet, but your prize will be gone. You can choose for yourself. Should I wait for my people to help you catch a normal person, or take a risk to see if I can win this super strong individual back?"

“What is gambling content?”

“Fight.”

“Are there any restrictions?”

"You can use any skills and equipment you have, but you can't summon any kind of helper, you can't use any disposable items, including any kind of medicine and scroll."

"What about my opponent? Where is the venue? Are there any time limits or something? What are the winning rules? Are all kills or other requirements?"

"Your opponents will choose from adventurers like you. The number is uncertain for the time being. After all, there are many adventurers involved. We don't know how many people are willing to participate, but in the end we will decide the winning conditions of the game based on the situation. If the opponents are few and weak, the winning conditions may be to kill the target without loss. If there are many and strong opponents, the winning conditions may be to persist for how long you will not die. In short, we will give you a fair victory condition based on the strength of both sides. After all, we are the gods of superiority and will not cheat you."

I nodded and said, "You are much more reliable than those lower gods in terms of credibility, so I believe in your guarantees. So when will the bet start?"

"It will probably be arranged tonight, so you can go and do your business first."

"Okay, then I'll leave first, and I'm ready to notify me."

When I left Mother Earth, I didn't expect a simple bet to evolve into a world-wide event, and when I found out, nothing could be changed.

"Zi Ri, why did you suddenly remember to accept the joint challenge from players all over the world?" I was also shocked when I suddenly saw Rose teleport directly to me with the ring of love, but Rose's words surprised me even more. This time, it happened to be two hours after I promised Mother Earth to participate in the betting war.

"What are you talking about?" I looked at Rose in surprise and asked.

When Rose heard my words, she was stunned for a moment, then she said directly: "You can find out if you go offline and check it out."

I knew it was not a trivial matter when I saw Rose's expression. I quickly connected to the forum and started reading it in a few minutes. I knew what Rose was saying. "Don't be anxious first, I'll go and ask the Mother of Earth clearly. The matter was agreed with me, and I didn't expect it to develop like this."

When she found the Mother of Earth again, she was manipulating a pile of soil to form formulas in the air and calculating what was going on. After seeing me, she immediately smiled and said, "I knew you were coming to me."

"What's going on with that challenge?"

"That's it." Mother Earth explained: "We used our abilities to issue notices in large cities where adventurers appeared, which were recruiting volunteers to participate in the combat effectiveness investigation of yours. We originally planned to recruit thirty or fifty people to fight you, but I didn't expect that you have such a great influence on the world. Within two hours of the news, more than 100 million people signed up. It was an unprecedented event!"

"You won't accept it all, right? More than 100 million people won't be beaten, but they rushed over and squeezed me to death! Even if they didn't rush over, they all raised their necks and asked me to kill them. Cutting all 100 million people would be enough to exhaust me to death. Are you killing me?"

The Mother of Earth smiled and said, "We are not stupid, how could you challenge 100 million people? However, there are too many people who signed up, so it is hard for us to keep our original plan anymore. Finally, I discussed with several other gods and decided to set the number of challengers to two choices. The first choice is that 10,000 people will participate in the battle. The failure condition is that you are killed, and the victory condition is that you kill more than 80,000 enemies, that is, kill at least 8,000 people."

"Eight thousand? One in a second will have to be cut for more than two hours. Are you not mistaken?"

"Don't worry! There is another second plan that is one thousand enemies. The failure condition is that you are killed, and the victory condition is that you kill all the enemies."

"One thousand is too much!"

"Actually, you have no choice but to decide which plan to use." Mother Earth continued after I finished speaking: "We have announced that we will draw lots to decide the number of players and combat environment at the beginning of the game."

"Have each method been changed?"

"What should I change after I have announced it? But don't worry, with your combat effectiveness, both solutions have a chance of winning. After all, even if there are 100,000 people attacking you, there will be no more than eight people who can attack you at the same time. Your chance of winning is actually very high."

"Then what, can I ask if the other party has any restrictions? They won't be able to use any tricks without any restrictions, right?"

"That's not." I just breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this, but unexpectedly, the next sentence of Mother Earth raised my heart again. "Their restrictions are that all the same medicines can only be used once, and there is no use of scrolls and guild-level war weapons, and everything else is casual."

"So they can summon magic pets and hire npc bodyguards?"

"certainly."

"Damn, that's not the number of people is more than one thousand or ten thousand?"

"That's for sure."

"Oh my God! You can kill me directly!"

"Don't be discouraged, believe me, the magic pet I prepared for you will definitely deserve your efforts."

"I hope." I sat on the ground helplessly and asked, "When will the competition start?"

“Forty minutes left.”

"Damn it!"

Actually, I can understand that Mother Earth and they arranged the challenge time to forty minutes, because that time happened to be the time period with the highest online rate, but for me, this time would be too tight. If Rose had notified me, I wouldn't have known that I would have to fight more than 1,000 or even more than 10,000 creatures in a while. Fortunately, there are still forty minutes.

Because of the rules, I can't bring any other helpers, but the rules do not limit me to flash the attributes for myself in advance.

"Hurry, hurry up, prepare all your auxiliary skills for me. I will try it before I go on the court. At least I will kill a few more people after the game to reduce the number of enemies."

For this bet, I summoned all the people who practiced auxiliary skills in the guild. Of course, my magic pet and the masters in the guild cannot be spared, especially Xinghuo and Peacock. Xinghuo was in Buddhism before, and her auxiliary skills were famous for being too much. She didn't use the pure number to waste it. As for Peacock, she didn't have many auxiliary skills, but there was a particularly practical skill called Colorful Glow. This skill can turn me into a human-shaped neon light, but it's one hundred thousand watts. When I stood there, I would shine like a silver mirror under the noon sun.

Although others can see where I am, they can't look directly at me because I'm too bright. Although this skill looks simple, the effect is surprisingly good. Unless the opponent wears sunglasses, don't expect to see anything. Moreover, even if he has filtered sunglasses that can block the dazzling bright light, it can only partially weaken the effect of this skill, because this skill does not make me shine, but makes many alternate flash points appear on me. If the other person wears sunglasses, even though he is not afraid of flashing, he may not be able to see my movements clearly, and the result is not much different from being able to look directly at me.

Although I have gathered a large number of assistive skills to help, I still have to wait before I go on the court to make the state. After all, most of the auxiliary skills will not be effective for too long. Even if I luckily draw a thousand people, the time is definitely not enough to play the full field. Therefore, I have to use the skills in the last second so that I can try to use them for as long as possible.

It took half an hour to gather the crowd and prepare some auxiliary equipment needed for battle. After I was ready, the system directly teleported to the temporarily opened competition stadium. Looking around from my location, it was simply an ancient Roman Colosseum, but I knew that the final battle was unlikely to be held here. After all, with the area of ​​this place, let alone ten thousand people, even if one thousand people were stuffed into it, it would be like canned sardines. Then there was no need to fight, just one skill was just overwhelmed.

As I was teleported to this Colosseum-like area, a burst of cheers broke out in the stands around me, but I always feel that there are more people who cheer. I have always understood this situation, after all, human nature is like this. No matter whether the other party is kind or evil, tolerant or petty, it doesn't matter. As long as the other party is rich or strong, it is the object of hatred. As for why he hates the other party, can he find no reason to hate someone? Qiu Qiang Qiu Fu is a very popular human characteristic. With the status of the first place in the world's combat power list, I am already very pleased that no one throws rotten eggs and rotten persimmons on the stage. Although no one dares to offend me in front of me, everyone will not miss this opportunity that I cannot retaliate. After all, this opportunity is rare.

After I appeared, a host set up the system walked to me and announced the game schedule. According to the introduction of the supporter, I first made the number of players to compete, but the result was quite lucky. I drew 1,000 people to challenge instead of 10,000. Of course, this result attracted booing outside the court.

Under the arrangement of the host, I then drew a list of combat personnel. Because I didn't know that I would fight against the young men at first, the system initially chose 10,000 people with the most powerful people among the registration personnel as the alternative. After I drew only one thousand people, the system randomly divided the 10,000 people into ten groups. As for which group of people to fight with, it was decided by me to draw lots. However, because the personnel group was random, it was almost the same for me to draw any group.

After selecting the combat personnel, the thousand people appeared directly in the Colosseum. The effect was indeed the same as I thought before. The entire field was full of crowds and there was almost no gap. Fortunately, I was standing on a floating platform, so they didn't have to squeeze them.

After these people appeared, the host asked me to draw lots to use the battle venue, but the venue I drew was a city. Although the area of ​​this city could not keep up with Aisinger, it was definitely a super-large city, and the buildings in it were quite beautiful. However, this city specially generated by the system for our competition was actually an empty city. Although the buildings and various debris in the city were complete, there was no living thing here. Not to mention citizens, there was not even a rat or a cockroach.

After I finished drawing the battle map, the host began to read the rules. According to the rules, after the game started, the 1,000 people and I would be randomly teleported to any position in the city, and the battle could be started immediately after the teleportation was completed. The city walls outside the city were isolated zones, and the scope of the competition was part of the city wall, and the city wall was completely undestructible. The restrictions in the game were similar to what the Mother of Earth said. I could not use medicines, could not bring magic pets, could not use disposable equipment, and there was no limit to other things, but the restrictions of my enemies were much looser than mine. They could summon magic pets and even brought NPC bodyguards. The most important thing was that they could use medicines. Fortunately, each drug could only be used once, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

After reading the rules, the host gave us one minute to prepare. Of course, I immediately asked everyone to brush all the auxiliary skills I had prepared long ago. In an instant, I felt like I had turned into a small sun, and all kinds of light flashed in a mess. Finally, in the audience's extremely surprised eyes, I returned to the field like a big light bulb.

Compared to my preparation work, the preparations for those thousand people are much simpler. In fact, it is not that they were not prepared, but that they had already prepared. This minute was nothing more than just sticking to equipment again.

As the system confirmed that the time had arrived, the thousand people disappeared into the Colosseum with me in an instant, and the Colosseum also turned into a huge holographic projection to show the situation in the combat city. Of course, the lens is displayed on me as the center, and the lens will move as I move, and its display range is the area of ​​the entire Colosseum. For the surrounding players, this area is enough to see my entire combat process.

"How much do you think the president has the chance of winning?" asked Daguo Mi after seeing us all entering the city.

Hongyue, Rose and Sumei almost said in unison: "It will win."

Daguo Mi asked in surprise: "Why are you so sure? Although the boss is very awesome, he cannot summon magic pets and cannot use medicines. His opponent is one thousand of the strongest 10,000 people selected in the world. Even if the masters on the combat power list do not sign up, there must be many masters. If the boss chooses one thousand by himself, his chances of winning should be very slim, right?"

Su Mei looked at Daguo Mi with an idiot expression and said, "If you are fighting in a flat ring, even if you cut the number of people by half, Brother Zi Ri's chance of winning will be only 50%, but he draws a city map. In such a complex environment, it is difficult for opponents to form a siege. With Brother Zi Ri's combat power, less than a hundred people can only be slaughtered. As long as the opponent cannot gather, they will be killed sooner or later. So Brother Zi Ri will win, and even if something unexpected happens, it will be a draw at most."

"Why can an accident be a draw? Wouldn't you lose?"

Before Rose could react, she spoke out and explained: "Zi Ri has a self-destructing skill. There is no grass left within a radius of two kilometers. If it really doesn't work, he will definitely choose to self-destruct."

"Didn't that skill be lost by level 100 at a time? Isn't it cost-effective to self-destruct for a demon pet?"

"If it's just for the magic pet, it's not a good deal, but now players around the world are watching. Even in order to preserve his deterrence in the minds of players in the world, he will never lose."

"So that's it."

When they discussed my chances of winning, I had already appeared in the city. But what made me more depressed was that I was really not in the place where I appeared, because I actually fell into the central pool of the city square, and there were at least one hundred people in the entire square, and they obviously all discovered my existence.

"Damn, isn't this obviously a trick? Such a big city actually randomly randomly put one-tenth of people into a square. Is this cheating too much, right?"

Those players who watched the fun would not agree with my complaints, and those who challenged me would not agree with it. A player who was closer to me said excitedly when he saw me: "Haha, Zi Ri, it seems that even the system doesn't like you, and he actually threw you into our crowd. I see how you die this time."
Chapter completed!
