Looking at the more than 30 million Evolution Points on the data panel, Ling Yi was really not satisfied.
Whether he's advancing in rank, upgrading skills, or Manifestation equipment, the Evolution Points he consumes are terrifyingly high.
"I just hope this beast tide is powerful enough, well, not too powerful!"
If a bunch of god and demon bosses came, Ling Yi wouldn't be able to handle it.
After thinking it over, Ling Yi spent 20 million to create four sets of red cesium fashion templates.
Fashion items, while they don't take up equipment slots and can be worn infinitely, can only be used at any given time.
Unlike in games, the effects of costumes cannot be stacked.
With the remaining ten million, Ling Yi upgraded the [ Resurrection ] skill to level 40!
At Yuexi's home.
"It finally came, damn it!" Yuexi murmured, looking out the window.
"I'll make the move this time!"
Ling Yi nodded. "Okay!"
What happened today must have been too much of a shock to Yuexi; perhaps we should give this girl a chance to vent.
Yuexi didn't use any Summon skills; she simply opened the door and went outside.
A moment later, shouts, various colorful skill effects, and continuous screams rang out from outside.
Less than ten minutes later, Yuexi returned to her room with a fierce expression.
"More than four hundred, all of them are professionals above level 30!" Yuexi said.
Although Yuexi spoke lightly, Ling Yi saw weariness in her eyes.
This isn't physical exhaustion, but Mind Stone exhaustion.
Yuexi hates professionals and wishes they were all dead, yet she is also someone who utterly detests killing.
"Get some rest!" Ling Yi said, patting her shoulder.
Yuexi nodded and turned to walk towards her bedroom, but before the door, Yuexi turned back and asked, " Ling Yi, is there any way to prevent professionals from appearing in this world?"
Ling Yi was taken aback; he hadn't actually thought about that question.
Is it possible?
As long as this world remains data-driven and follows the rules of game data, professionals will not disappear.
Unless, one day, one gains the power to transcend the World Rule and forcibly change those rules.
"Become stronger. Only the truly strong can change the rules and create them."
"Okay!" Yuexi nodded and then closed the bedroom door.
That night was anything but peaceful.
This wasn't the only group eyeing Yuexi; four groups of professionals Later, ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand.
Until midnight, Ling Yi had gained more than Wu Bai Resurrection Puppet.
Ling Yi handed these Resurrection Puppet over to Cheng Yingxiong, who then consumed level-up pills and equipped them with top-tier gear.
This instantly boosted Ling Yi's side's Battle Power once again.
Once again, I'd like to thank Jin Feng and Jin Yun, these two lucky charms.
If it weren't for those two unlucky guys, Ling Yi really wouldn't have so many resources to squander.
At four in the morning, it was already getting light.
But outside, thick fog blanketed the sky, reducing visibility to no more than two meters.
"Why did it suddenly get foggy?" Yuexi asked worriedly.
On the city wall, Yuexi looked at the Bai Wu around her, feeling somewhat nervous, as if some monster might jump out of the thick fog at any moment.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the city gate.
This is a disturbance caused by professionals from various guilds because the city gates are closed, preventing them from leaving the city to level up and fight monsters.
Despite the warnings that a beast tide might occur today, the professionals continued to shout loudly, and the noise grew increasingly louder.
"My lord, should we kill these troublemakers?"
"Have you found out who's behind this?" Ling Yi asked.
Professionals rarely clash with guards, so this inexplicably appearing troublemaker is clearly not normal and must have some purpose.
"They are the six unions of the Woma Town."
"Why? Are they just bored?" Yuexi asked.
"Ten days ago, the guild leader of the Huolie Guild accidentally obtained a guaranteed-death item while fighting monsters by the sea. He used this item to kill a guard."
The "inevitable death item" is a very special type of item in the game.
There are many types with different names, such as the Fatal Pill, the Killing Crossbow, and the Soul-Capturing Pot.
However, they all share a common characteristic: once used, the target will die. In the game, after death, the player's level, equipment, skills, and attributes will all be reset to zero.
In this world, once someone is hit by a fatal item, there is no chance of Resurrection.
The official website of the previous game provided a detailed explanation of this type of guaranteed-death item.
In theory, all monsters can drop items that guarantee certain death, but the drop rate is extremely low.
Back then, it took three years for all the players on all the servers to get a single guaranteed-death item.
This shows just how low the drop rate is.
Furthermore, there is another characteristic of items that guarantee certain death: players who use such items will not have their Sin Value increased, nor will they be cursed.
"It seems that Huo Lie has gained quite a bit from the guards!"
The equipment worn by the guards is of far superior quality to that of ordinary professionals, and the fact that killing a guard can yield a universal skill book suggests that Huo Lie has tasted the sweetness of victory.
Trying to test the strength of the guards? How laughable.
"Kill them all. Oh, and before they die, give them a Resurrection Stone!" Ling Yi said coldly.
"Why?" Yuexi asked, puzzled.
"Because I want them all to become Resurrection Puppet!"
These professionals never stop causing trouble; they've been stirring things up since last night.
This had long been something Ling Yi found extremely repulsive.
Moreover, with the beast tide invasion imminent, causing trouble during such a critical time? That would be suicidal.
Cheng Yingxiong nodded, and then quickly issued the order.
The level 40 [ Resurrection ] skill no longer requires the user to take action; as long as the user's Resurrection Puppet or Summon creature takes action, there is a chance to trigger Resurrection.
The reason these professionals are given Resurrection Stone is that the probability of Resurrection is not 100%.
Therefore, you need to kill them multiple times.
Soon, screams of agony echoed from the city gate.
These professionals were only level 30 or 40; how could they possibly be a match for the level 99 Resurrection Puppet warriors?
Within ten minutes, the troublemakers at the city gate were cleared out.
Those whose Resurrection was triggered became Resurrection Puppet, while those whose Resurrection was not triggered were Resurrection and returned to their homes in Woma Town.
After using a Resurrection Stone, you will be Resurrection directly at the birthplace where the professional was born.
In the Woma Forest, the birthplace of professionals is naturally Woma Town.
Cheng Yingxiong has already dispatched ten Resurrection Puppet guards to search for these Resurrection professionals house by house, just like bandits and tyrants.
Once you find it, give it Resurrection Stone, then kill it again, then camp the corpse, kill it endlessly, until the Resurrection is triggered.
Ling Yi knew that what he was doing might have been a bit too domineering.
But Ling Yi had thought about it for half the night and already had a general plan in mind.
He wanted to transform the Woma Forest into a territory that belonged solely to him.
Therefore, apart from the Resurrection Puppet, no other force is allowed to exist.
Those who caused trouble will all be turned into Resurrection Puppet. The rest will be driven out using the Azure Cloud Sect's Teleport Array after this beast tide ends.
" Ling Yi, there's something in the fog!" Yuexi said, pointing to the thick fog outside the city.
On the city wall, all the archers Mage drew their weapons, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
A series of "crack, crack!" sounds rang out.
Soon, a dense army of skeletons slowly emerged from the thick fog.
"It seems Yue Yao was right, there really is a beast tide invading." Ling Yi said excitedly.
At this moment, Cheng Yingxiong raised his right hand and shouted, "Archers, normal scatter shot! Mage, cast a round of Huoyan Meteor! Everyone else, stand by!"
As Cheng Yingxiong gave the order, countless arrows shot out from the city walls.
Archers, Attribute Points are naturally geared towards agility, can shoot arrows at a speed like a machine gun once they reach level 99 and are equipped with a full set of purple or higher-grade gear.
A barrage of arrows shot out, wiping out a large number of the skeleton soldiers.
Then, black mist continued to emerge from the skeletons that had been shot down; these were skeletons whose Resurrection probability had been triggered.
It was transformed directly into Resurrection Puppet.
These Resurrection Puppet were too low-level and too weak, so Ling Yi didn't care much and simply gave them an order to attack freely.
At that moment, a huge Huoyan condensed in front of nearly seven hundred Mage. The Mage threw the Huoyan into the air, where it tilted and arced before flying high into the sky.
Then they all exploded.
Transforming Tuantuan bursts of Huoyan, they crashed down upon the seemingly endless army of skeletons charging towards them.
Seven hundred Huoyan Meteor exploded at the same time—what a spectacular sight!
The area before me was almost entirely crimson, and a terrifying temperature swept across the surroundings.
Not only was a large portion of the skeleton army wiped out, but most of the thick fog was also dispelled.
High temperatures can naturally disperse dense fog.
This is also why Cheng Yingxiong had the Mage use the Huoyan Meteor skill.
As some of the dense fog dissipated, the full extent of the skeleton army was revealed.
There is no end in sight, absolutely no end in sight.
"There are too many! It's like all the skeleton soldiers from the Undead Ancient Tomb have come!" Yuexi said, dumbfounded.
Ling Yi nodded. The first wave of monsters in the beast tide were the skeleton monsters from the Undead Ancient Tomb.
If all the monsters in the Undead Ancient Tomb have actually appeared, then there must be even higher-level skeleton monsters to come.
"Archers, unleash Multiple Shot! Mage, lay down Firewall!" Cheng Yingxiong continued to command methodically.
Ling Yi was becoming increasingly satisfied with Cheng Yingxiong, this Resurrection Puppet.
Having such a subordinate has saved Ling Yi a lot of trouble.
If he were commanding these Resurrection Puppet in Combat, it would never have been so easy.
Ling Yi looked at the rapidly increasing Evolution Points on his data panel and smiled with satisfaction.
In just a short Kung Fu Hustle, more than ten million Evolution Points were gained.
How long has it been? Not even thirty seconds!
Perfect!
There were just too many skeletons, like the Scourge. No matter how fast you killed them, you couldn't overcome their sheer number.
After all, Ling Yi only had a little over two thousand Resurrection Puppet on his side.
There are over 700 Mage, less than 600 archers, and the rest are melee classes such as warriors.
The skeleton army Charge fearlessly, but unfortunately, these low-level skeletons, even if they dodged the arrows, would eventually fall before the Firewall.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, the low-level skeleton army had been almost completely wiped out.
The level of the skeleton soldiers has increased from the initial level 10 to level 30, meaning they are skeletons found in the third level and below of the Undead Ancient Tomb.
"Archer, use Guided Arrow, target elite monster; Mage, deploy two layers of Firewall..."
