Free Web NovelChapter 1200: Chapter 466: An Unexpected Choice_2
Hunchback Woman: "Wow! Contestant 1 Henry Thompson started hunting less than a minute after setting foot on the ground!
And it looks like he is firmly in control of the fight right now!"
Museum Director Phoenix: "He really has a way with words, normal people can’t get over that psychological barrier in a short period of time.
After all, this dragon mimic is far too different from a human-type.
He seems quite adept. Maybe he’s had similar experiences."
Hunchback Woman: "That’s hard to say, maybe his real race offline isn’t human."
In fact, Hunchback Woman had already sought out Ree Shil in person due to his fame.
However, on the commentary booth, she couldn’t let that slip.
In the midst of the two’s jesting, Ree Shil had already killed his first monster since he arrived on the ground.
"Ding-dong!
You have successfully killed a Green Crocodile Dragon.
Choose 1 of the following 3 enchantments."
With the system panel’s prompt, three options popped up.
"Water Poison Skin - C": When attacked, there’s a small chance of poisoning the target.
"Slippery Body - D": When attacked, there’s an extremely small chance to evade rigidly.
"Streamlined Fins - D": Slightly increased movement speed in water.
"Not bad, these enchantments.
Being poisoned on a counterattack is pretty intense, lucky I didn’t get hit just now. freewebnσvel.cøm
Rigid evade means even if you’re hit, it’s considered an evasion.
Increased swim speed could be really useful when evading pursuit.
These three enchantments each have their advantages.
’Water Poison Skin’ is a small chance, so it won’t trigger often.
’Slippery Body’ is an extremely small chance, so even less likely.
’Streamlined Fins’ offers a fixed increase, it’s stable and doesn’t rely on randomness.
So, I choose ’Water Poison Skin’."
After a bunch of needless analysis, Ree Shil had his answer.
The reason was simple, because ’Water Poison Skin’ was a C-level enchantment.
It was just like that story, the rich man who let three women spend 100 dollars to fill a room, and in the end, he married the one who went big. It’s that simple.
Could the mere enchantments from a small roadside minion monster be as powerful as my own S-level and A-level enchantments?
In front of S-level and A-level enchantments, they are only fit to be fertilizer.
And since it’s fertilizer, of course a C-level is better than a D-level.
His every move was being watched by everyone in front of the screens.
After all, he was the only player online in the entire arena at the moment.
If you select the player’s perspective, you can see immersive footage.
So including the selection panel that Ree Shil faced at this time, the audience could see everything clearly.
They could even hear his lengthy nonsense.
Especially since after comparing and analyzing back and forth, he just went for the one with the highest grade.
It was a bit laughable.
Now that he had chosen the enchantment, he opened up the feeding panel.
The audience, who were just discussing which monster enchantment to choose, started their discussions anew.
"Oh, no wonder he chose a C-level, he was planning to feed from the start."
"His idea makes sense, but which enchantment should be prioritized for development?"
"I think ’Initial Force’, that’s the most basic and useful enchantment."
"Definitely ’Clan Strength’, it’s the early stages of the competition, he has plenty of time to develop. The earlier you level this enchantment up, the higher the natural enhancement."
"’Infinite Body’, this enchantment provides a higher boost than ’Time Baptism’, and you only need to move around, not too hard."
"Moving around is not hard, but are you going to walk 24 hours non-stop? It’s definitely more worthwhile to develop ’Time Baptism’!"
Clearly, everyone had their own different opinions.
Then, Ree Shil paused for a moment and chose...
He chose the ’Spirit Master’s Wings’, which almost nobody mentioned.
In fact, many people didn’t understand why he was even carrying this enchantment.
Now that he had chosen to prioritize feeding it, it was even more perplexing.
Hunchback Woman: "Contestant 1 Henry Thompson didn’t accidentally misclick, did he?
What’s the point in developing that enchantment?"
Museum Director Phoenix: "Hehehe, that’s not easy to say.
Hasn’t everyone noticed that his size has become even smaller?"
Early enchantments need very little experience points, so leveling up is extremely easy.
The first time only requires feeding one C-level enchantment to level the old enchantment from LV0 to LV1.
Now, the ’Spirit Master’s Wings’ enchantment has gone from shrinking by 10 times to 11 times."
It could be seen with the naked eye that he had shrunk.
Museum Director Phoenix: "The speed hasn’t changed, but the size has decreased, and in the end, he might even shrink to the size of a mosquito.
It would be very difficult for an enemy to catch sight of him then.
This is very advantageous, whether for a stealth attack or a frontal assault."
Hunchback Woman: "But that’s not right, if he’s as small as a mosquito, wouldn’t he be squashed with a single slap?"
Museum Director Phoenix: "Wrong.
The enchantment states that only the size diminishes.
The physical strength, attack power, and movement speed, none of these will decrease accordingly.
That’s where the real power of this enchantment lies."
Hunchback Woman: "Ah... I see now!"
"Not bad, this enchantment. It’s more effective than I thought.
If leveling up once doubles the effect, then leveling up to Level 10 would be a 20-fold reduction in size."
Ree Shil was very pleased with the enhancement of this enchantment.
Just now when he had entered, he also received a notification.
In the following 10 hours, it would be a happy time of monster hunting.
The mere 0-point segment’s wild beasts should not prove difficult for him.
Water is a necessity of life, so it’s easy to encounter creatures of various sizes by the lakeside.
Therefore, Ree Shil didn’t stray far and just moved along the lakeside.
And practically the whole way, he didn’t touch the ground but moved by jumping from tree to tree.
His small size and protective coloration made him look like a few leaves.
The lake was vast, and even after two hours, he hadn’t made it around once.
After two hours of hunting, he had killed more than 30 assorted dinosaur strays.
He received nearly 10 C-level enchantments, with the rest being D-level enchantments.
He had already upgraded the "Spirit Master’s Wings" to Level 7, which means a 17-fold reduction in size.
Now, he had shrunk to more than half of his original size.
Moreover, through hunting, the "Clan Strength," "Infinite Body," and "Time Baptism" enchantments all brought significant buffs.
After hunting or feeding, besides the enchantments, the dinosaur puppet itself would also level up, and to a certain extent, this would enhance basic attributes.
The 1-10 point segment equates to dinosaurs of level 1 to 10.
And now Ree Shil had risen to the level of LV5.
At this stage, the wild beasts in the instance were generally still at Level 1.
Following this trend, he knew that he could reach Level 10 before players from the 1-10 point segment arrived.
"It’s just a pity, I haven’t encountered a B-level enchantment."
Ree Shil fed all the enchantments he gathered to the "Spirit Master’s Wings" and still felt it wasn’t enough.
And, being Level 5 and killing Level 1 wild beasts, the experience points he gained had already considerably decreased.
This reduction was similarly reflected in the experience points of the enchantments.
Only by obtaining higher-level enchantments could the loss be compensated for.
However, the probability of a Level 1 beast dropping a B-level enchantment was also very small.
But perhaps it was Ree Shil’s perseverance, as his expectation was met just as the 10 hours were about to end.
In a valley by that lakeside, he discovered a nest of evil dragons.
Here, there was a gathering of many dinosaurs of up to Level 2.
After stealthily clearing his way through and defeating the final nest boss, he finally received a B-level enchantment.
The accumulation from beforehand, plus this wave of harvest,
enabled Ree Shil to just about reach Level 10, and the "Spirit Master’s Wings" reached Level 15, meaning a reduction in size by 25 times.
Now he was roughly the size of a rabbit.
Hunchback Woman: "Impressive...
He actually managed to level up to Level 10.
Remember, the time ratio on both sides is different, we’re watching in fast forward.
In these 10 hours, he was either hunting monsters or on the way to hunt monsters.
He almost didn’t rest at all, just watching is exhausting."
Museum Director Phoenix: "I have a feeling that in the ensuing dozens of hours, he won’t stop either."
Hunchback Woman: "Oh oh, dear audience, the 10 hours have completely passed!
Now the second batch, which is the 10-point segment players, will make their entrance!"
Although Hunchback Woman’s tone was full of excitement, in truth, no one had high hopes for this batch of players.
Because the 10-point segment is still quite a distance from the average, it’s unlikely that many players would appear.
However, to the audience’s surprise, this batch entering had quite a few, almost 20 contestants.
...
...
Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone
