The Gods' Mercy, Son of Destiny?

[Ding, based on your awakening of the unique F-grade talent, the God of Luck has bestowed a blessing of pity, granting you a chance to redistribute your stats!]

The concept of a unique talent only exists for certain one-of-a-kind talents ranked A and above!

Uniqueness might not mean your talent is stronger than common ones, but it definitely has unique aspects that other talents of all levels don't possess!

Never heard of an F-grade talent being judged as unique...

But considering his own talent, Xu Kun accepted it calmly!

Which F-grade talent is like his? If they were all this abnormal, what would be the point of those SSS-grade trial-takers!

So, Xu Kun was happy to accept that he was a special case!

But the notification just now didn't just point out the uniqueness of his talent, it also rewarded him with a chance to redistribute his stats!

Xu Kun wasn't unfamiliar with the term "redistribute stats," because normally, as long as you pass the newbie trial and complete your first job change, you get a chance to redistribute your stats!

"However, the notification said that this is a blessing of pity from the God of Luck, not a reward from the Haotian Pagoda..."

"Could there be a difference?"

Xu Kun quickly opened his information panel.

Strength: 0 (+)

Spirit Energy: 0 (+)

Vitality: 0 (+)

Agility: 0 (+)

Composure: 0 (+)

Luck: 0 (+)

Available Free Attribute Points: 49

"This pity blessing is too good; if I put all 49 free attribute points into Strength or Spirit Energy, wouldn't my single-stat attack power be as high as 98? According to common sense, the HP of a level 1 F-grade monster is only 100, so one hit would leave it with barely any health!"

But Xu Kun was rational; really putting all the points into Strength/Spirit Energy would be a stupid move, because even a level 1 F-grade monster would have Agility, and if all his attacks missed, what was the point!

According to the experience of those who came before, the choice between Strength/Spirit Energy depends on whether you plan to become a melee physical class or a ranged magic class!

The basic attack output of melee physical classes, including class skills, has physical damage bonuses!

The opposite is true for magic damage bonuses!

Putting more points into Vitality increases HP and physical defense, which can greatly improve your fault tolerance in the newbie trial stage, ensuring survival and a good output environment, especially since, according to textbooks, most of the low-level monsters in the newbie trial are physical attackers!

Physical defense is therefore extremely important!

Agility isn't that important in the newbie trial stage; generally, there are very few low-level monsters with high Agility, which largely avoids misses, but unimportant doesn't mean unnecessary; you still need some!

If you have high Agility at the start, besides ensuring your hit rate, evasion rate, and attack speed, it also lets you run faster!

After the trial ends and you change jobs, players who go the assassin route will value the Agility stat highly!

You don't need to care much about Composure; after all, in the newbie trial, you don't have many skills to cast, so the demand for mana isn't that high!

Plus, the proportion of magic-type output monsters in the newbie trial stage is a bit smaller, so magic defense rarely comes in handy!

And even after changing jobs, the Composure stat is generally suitable for healer types, since they need to exchange mana for HP.

Even mage classes don't deliberately add points to Composure; they mostly acquire it through equipment, and even if you plan to go the healer route, you can redistribute your stats after changing jobs!

The key point is that players who go the magic route generally have slower attack speeds and mostly rely on skill output, but skill output isn't just single magic damage, which makes magic defense somewhat useless; only the increased mana is relatively practical!

Xu Kun was about to redistribute his stats with Strength 20, Vitality 20, Agility 5, and Composure 4 when he realized that there was also a + sign after the Luck stat!

His hand trembled, and Xu Kun quickly retracted his stat allocation!

"Luck can be increased too?"

For Xu Kun, who had studied eleven years of basic theoretical knowledge, this was extremely unscientific!

Luck is a fixed stat that's different from the five basic attributes; it can't be acquired through stat allocation; you only have a chance to get one or two points after completing high-level events!

But don't underestimate just a few points of Luck; each point of Luck can increase the drop rate by 10%, not to mention that high Luck might trigger certain opportunities!

Everyone starts with 0 Luck at level 0, unless some people awaken talents related to Luck!

This has led to the fact that for everyone who enters the Haotian Pagoda, wanting to acquire the Luck stat is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Many people haven't gained a single point of Luck even after climbing dozens of floors of the Haotian Pagoda!

Textbooks also record that in the newbie trial, only the Child of Fortune of each century will complete some major events and obtain a certain amount of Luck!

Having it means you're awesome; not having it is normal!

Xu Kun's homeroom teacher, who had been teaching graduating classes for over a decade, was a master who had climbed over thirty floors of the Haotian Pagoda, and having two points of Luck was something he was always proud of!

A student once asked foolishly, "What if I have ten points of Luck?"

What he got in return was the homeroom teacher's merciless ridicule: "Ten points? That means you're already blessed by the God of Luck. After you pass the newbie trial, the entire human race will vigorously cultivate you, leaving bosses for you to kill, just to increase the drop rate!"

"Ten points, what a terrifying value that is! I'm afraid only the Child of Fortune of each generation could possibly obtain that much Luck!"

"So, what does that make me?" Xu Kun scratched his head, puzzled. "Is it because this stat reset was a merciful blessing from the God of Luck?"

Xu Kun recalled the initial system prompt and tentatively tapped the plus sign next to his Luck stat.

Luck: 1

Xu Kun's eyes lit up. "It really works!"

This discovery completely disrupted Xu Kun's original plan.

"Base stats, I desire them; Luck, I also desire it. But one cannot have both... I shall forsake base stats and choose Luck!"

Xu Kun gritted his teeth. He couldn't help but suspect that this was the closest he would ever get to becoming a true lucky son of a gun!

To refuse a gift from the Heavens is to invite misfortune. Let's do this!

Xu Kun gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and his fingers became a blur, frantically tapping +++!

[Ding, your Luck stat is full. Congratulations, you have obtained the permanent buff (Heavenly Blessing: Child of Fortune)!]

Hearing the system prompt, Xu Kun abruptly opened his eyes.

Luck: MAX
Free Attribute Points: 0

He frowned. "So, the maximum Luck is 49?"

[Ding, the Great Derivation evolves to fifty, its use is forty-nine, one escapes. Trial-taker Kun, your Luck stat has reached the limit of the Heavenly Dao and cannot be increased further through other means!]

Xu Kun admitted that his perspective had been too narrow!

Forget being a lucky son of a gun; he wouldn't settle for that. He would be the one and only Child of Fortune under the Heavens!

"Hahaha, who else is there!" Xu Kun roared at the sky, his heart filled with heroic spirit.

He completely ignored the fact that his five base stats were all at 0!

However, the system prompt wasn't finished!

[Ding, your base Strength stat is detected to be zero, and your Luck stat is MAX. The God of Strength bestows a merciful blessing!]

[Ding, your base Spirit stat is detected to be zero, and your Luck stat is MAX. The God of Spirit Energy bestows a merciful blessing!]

[Ding, your base Vitality stat is detected to be zero, and your Luck stat is MAX. The God of Vitality bestows a merciful blessing!]

[Ding, your base Agility stat is detected to be zero, and your Luck stat is MAX. The God of Agility bestows a merciful blessing!]

[Ding, your base Composure stat is detected to be zero, and your Luck stat is MAX. The God of Composure bestows a merciful blessing!]

The rapid-fire system prompts nearly shattered Xu Kun's eardrums.

Looking again, he had gained five more permanent passive skills!

[Merciful Blessing of the God of Strength: You gain an additional +1 Strength each time you level up!]

[Merciful Blessing of the God of Spirit Energy: You gain an additional +1 Spirit Energy each time you level up!]

[Merciful Blessing of the God of Vitality: You gain an additional +1 Vitality each time you level up!]

[Merciful Blessing of the God of Agility: You gain an additional +1 Agility each time you level up!]

[Merciful Blessing of the God of Composure: You gain an additional +1 Composure each time you level up!]

"Uhhh..." Xu Kun suddenly turned into a dumb goose, utterly speechless from the successive surprises.

He was absolutely certain that he had entered a positive feedback loop!

Because he had awakened the unique F-rank talent, the God of Luck had bestowed a blessing. Because of the blessing, he had the opportunity to reset his stats, and he had maxed out his Luck!

Because his Luck was maxed out, and his five base stats were at 0, the other five Gods of base stats had also bestowed blessings!

After a long while, Xu Kun exhaled a long breath. "So, that means every time I level up, I get five more base stats than everyone else!"

He knew that the highest level in the newbie trial was 10. Each level up didn't grant free attribute points; it simply increased the five base stats by 1 each. Only after completing the newbie trial and changing classes could players reallocate all their attribute points from levels 1-10!

And now, as long as he reached level 10, he would have 50 more free attribute points than everyone else for nothing!

Good heavens, that was equivalent to the benefits of someone leveling up to twenty!

Not to mention that the higher the level, the greater the difference between Xu Kun's base stats and those of normal people!

Xu Kun marveled, "Is this the treatment of a Child of Fortune?"

He really is, I'm so touched!

Too touching!

Then, he looked at the permanent buff granted by his maxed-out Luck stat!

[Heavenly Blessing: Child of Fortune]: Turns misfortune into good fortune, averts disaster, and brings good luck to those who befriend you. Those who target you will meet a bad end!

Drop Rate Increase: Monster-dropped item level automatically +1!

Reward Increase: Each time an event is completed, the settlement level +1!

Event Trigger Probability Increased!

Various Enhancement Chances: 100%!

When your Evasion is lower than your Accuracy, Hit Chance: 100%; When your Evasion is higher than your Accuracy, Hit Chance: 99%!

All in all, as long as it concerns luck, Xu Kun can confidently say, when it comes to luck, if I call myself first, no one dares call themselves second!

Just the concept of monsters dropping items with an automatic +1 grade is already far beyond the conventional meaning of increasing drop rates. Taking an F-grade equipment and an E-grade equipment as an example, the price difference is at least dozens of times!

Not to mention the higher you go, the bigger the difference!

"Stay calm, I need to stay calm!" Xu Kun kept telling himself to take deep breaths!

But in the end, he stomped his foot on the ground: "But how can you expect me to stay calm!"

"Now that I'm a Heavenly Blessing: Child of Fortune, it's time to test the luck of this Child of Fortune!"

Ding, Awakening is complete. Is Kun ready to begin the Haotian Pagoda journey?

"Let's go!"

Ding, Scenario matching successful, Newbie Pack has been issued, please check!

Space shattered, and Xu Kun's body lightened as he fell to the ground.

Without taking the time to survey his surroundings, Xu Kun immediately took out the so-called Newbie Pack from his backpack!

What a Newbie Pack contains is no longer a secret to the Human Race.

Almost 99% of people get the same things from their Newbie Packs!

The Newbie Three-Piece Set: a weapon, clothes, and shoes, plus a basic skill!

The stat boosts are better than nothing, just enough to keep people from going out naked!

Looking at the Newbie Pack, Xu Kun murmured, "This Newbie Pack of yours, is it fresh?"

Newbie Pack: I've been selling packs for so long, would I sell you a bad one?

Xu Kun's lips curled up, as he said expectantly, "Open Newbie Pack!"

The pack in his palm instantly began to twist left and right, and then the binding ribbon came loose!

In an instant, the sky was filled with radiant light, the pack disappeared, and transformed into four orbs of light, floating in front of Xu Kun.

Ding, congratulations on obtaining B-grade Blazing Spirit Set - Flame Spirit Sword, Flame Spirit Armor, Flame Spirit Boots!

Ding, Heavenly Blessing: Child of Fortune bonus, Blazing Spirit Set upgraded to A-grade Zenith Flame Spirit Set!
