"Strength, Agility, Constitution, Spirit, Perception... these were only the basics!"
Qin Ran looked at the five stone doors representing his attributes. Their plain, unadorned appearance set them completely apart from the remaining four.
Only now did he begin to understand why the Witch was so powerful.
While other players were still agonizing over how many attributes to push beyond their limits, the Witch had chosen not only all five, but limit breakthroughs for her skills and bloodline as well.
Of course, she probably wasn't the only one.
There was also... the Broker!
With the resources at the Broker's disposal, he would certainly have discovered this secret.
Likewise, those resources would certainly allow him to produce more players whose breakthroughs went beyond the five basic attributes.
Clearly, this wasn't easy.
Not even for the Broker.
But if one out of a hundred succeeded...
Even if only one out of a thousand succeeded, it would still be worthwhile for the Broker.
As long as the Broker kept his "costs" under control!
Qin Ran believed he would handle that perfectly.
As for the rest?
He only had to ensure those players remained loyal.
Contracts were practically made for that!
"No wonder the Broker keeps recruiting players, even with the Secret Market under his control and a massive force of robot guards at his disposal!"
Qin Ran muttered under his breath.
This had puzzled him for a long time.
Now, the answer fell neatly into place.
Even with contracts, there would always be traitors unafraid of death.
Especially with those robot guards already at his disposal, recruiting players seemed all the more unnecessary, even if he needed teams to enter dungeon worlds.
After all, summoned creatures were more loyal and reliable.
Strength?
With the Broker's resources, obtaining powerful summoned creatures couldn't have been easier.
