Chapter 314: Chapter 48: Going Further and Further Down the Path of Cheating

[Otherworldly Sword and Saber Weapon Pack (Lv. 1): When you kill Heroic Units, they now have an additional chance to drop Level 1 quality Heroic Weapons. (These are Otherworld-enhanced versions, at least 20% stronger than original red-quality weapons.

...

Incredible!

’Just as I thought, the other two basic Talents have max-level effects too!’

The max-level effect of Recruit Prisoners allowed him to see the panel information for all creatures, including Legendary Level Bosses and Mythical Level Bosses whose stats had previously been impossible to inspect. Now, just as he could with the Evil Dragon Jinli, Qin Feng could see all their deepest secrets. He no longer had to worry about being blindsided by some strange, special mechanic.

As for the Middle-earth Warhammer Talent, it was practically game-breaking.

Not only did it unlock all the in-game Warhammer Professions, but more importantly, he could now use a Proof of Reincarnation to grant these Professions to his Heroic Units. This would allow them to directly obtain the overpowered, Warhammer-exclusive powers of classes like Ranger and Necromancer.

If the acquisition rate for a Proof of Reincarnation wasn’t so abysmally low, Qin Feng could build an entire army of Rangers, an army of Necromancers, and even an army of Sigmar Combat Priests. With the top-tier combat power from Middle-earth Warhammer alone, he could steamroll his way through every Lord World, completely unopposed.

Then there was the Otherworldly Sword and Saber Weapon Pack.

At first glance, this Riding and Cutting Talent seemed rather unremarkable. It did little more than increase the variety of Heroic Weapons that could be produced, boost their performance by at least 20%, and help Professionals enhance their combat abilities.

But when combined with the Lord World’s incredibly high drop rate for top-tier items—a rate comparable to "Delta Red"—the value of this Talent changed in an instant.

After all, the key to this Talent was that it didn’t replace the original Heroic Weapons in the loot table with new Otherworld Heroic Weapons. Instead, without affecting the existing drop rates whatsoever, it added a whole new series of Otherworldly Heroic Weapons as a separate, independent drop.

It was like gaining a whole new channel for acquiring powerful weapons out of thin air.

Moreover, the most crucial part was that it could be upgraded.

A Level 1 Otherworldly Heroic Weapon already had 20% better performance than the strongest original red-quality Heroic Weapon.

That meant Level 2, 3, 4, and 5 Otherworldly Heroic Weapons would surely have even better performance—and might even gain some brand-new, unique mechanics.

"Good heavens!"

’I’m really getting further and further down this road of Cheating!’

With that thought, Qin Feng turned his attention to the two other new Riding and Cutting Talents, pondering which one would be better to unlock first.

In the original game, Dynamic Troop Equipment was a mod for customizing his soldiers’ gear. He had no idea how the Lord World might have overhauled it.

Random Event, on the other hand, was a bit like a quest system. All sorts of unknown events would appear on the world map, and players would receive rewards for completing them.

’Hmm...’

’I guess there’s no need to even consider it...’

’Random Event it is...’

[You have consumed 1,000 Dragon Crystals and unlocked the new Hidden Talent: "Random Event"!]

[Random Event (Lv. 1): One random event will refresh each week. Completing it grants a corresponding reward.]

[Open Special Module: ??? (Unlocked at Lv. 3)]

[Upgrade Requirement (2): Unlock the "Otherworldly Sword and Saber Weapon Pack" and "Dynamic Troop Equipment" Talents.]

[This Week’s Random Event—Expedition Gate]

[Event Description: A portal known as the "Expedition Gate" has appeared in your territory. This gate leads to another Plane. Before the start of next week—that is, before the Expedition Gate disappears—you must kill all the monsters within it, clear all five stages, and complete the final objective to earn rich rewards.]
