Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 811 - 135: Dense Growth

The Mysterious Forest Path is equivalent to opening a home-field advantage, adding a new special rule to the battle.

This is akin to a change in the way the entire world operates and the order of its rules.

Rose patiently explained to Lin Rui: "When you enter this Mysterious Forest Path, you'll gain a trait called [Dense Growth]. Once you successfully trigger [Dense Growth], you and your opponent will alternately receive one or two positive gains."

"These positive gains follow a specific order, continually cycling, so make sure you remember them: Life Value Limit +10%, Spiritual Energy Value Limit +15%, Physical Output +20%, Spiritual Strength +25%, Divine Resistance +1000, True Defense +1000."

Lin Rui said easily: "Is it that simple? For me, it's a piece of cake. So the order of blessings is consecutively Life Limit increase, Spiritual Energy Limit increase, Physical Output increase, Spiritual Strength increase, Divine Defense increase, and True Defense increase, right? I just need to pick the first, fifth, and sixth ones. How do you trigger this Dense Growth?"

Rose answered: "The conditions to trigger Dense Growth are simple. As long as you gain one positive gain, it triggers once. You can choose to trigger it once, or trigger it twice. But even if you stack a lot of gains at once, it won't trigger three times."

"Understood." Lin Rui nodded immediately, this effect of the Mysterious Forest Path seemed really simple.

To gain the effect of Dense Growth once, you just need to apply one layer of gains to yourself. To get it twice, you need to stack more layers of gains on yourself.

However, it is worth noting that not all gains you stack will result in Dense Growth effects on yourself. Instead, both you and your opponent will alternately receive this Dense Growth effect.

This means Lin Rui can stack gains on himself, which also lets his opponent receive one or two Dense Growth effects. Using this method, he can interfere with his opponent's Dense Growth effects, keeping the effects he wants and forcing unwanted ones onto his opponent.

Of course, if Setra is clever enough, he can also counter Lin Rui. Inside the Mysterious Forest Path, everything is fair. As long as someone stacks a gain attribute, it triggers a gain effect once.

Lin Rui asked with interest: "What if there are three people inside?"

"Then it will rotate in the order of one, two, and three. For example, if Setra is one, you're two, and another unit is three. This order, although randomly arranged, will not be disrupted until the end of the battle. The effects of Dense Growth are always distributed in this order."

Lin Rui nodded, clearly indicating that adding one more person dramatically increases the permutations of interference distribution.

But to Lin Rui, this still seemed effortless. It was merely 160 distribution strategies; he could calculate all permutations and combinations clearly with a bit of thinking and select the most advantageous one for himself.

Lin Rui frowned slightly and said, "This is too simplistic. There's not much ability to interfere; I feel that Setra, with a few minutes of battle, could figure all this out and quickly find the optimal solution."

By then, it wouldn't be Lin Rui using this home-field advantage against Setra; on the contrary, Setra might turn around and use his unparalleled combat power to crush Lin Rui.

Furthermore, at the very least, Setra would choose two gains each time and could stack exceptionally strong attributes for himself.

Rose stated solemnly: "If it was only like this, this item couldn't be rated as Mythical Level. The key lies in the subsequent trait. A cycle lasts seven days, but haven't you noticed there are only six Dense Growth effects?"

"The key is that after the seventh gain, a [Wild Growth] effect is obtained. Upon acquiring Wild Growth, all Dense Growth effects disappear, and Life Value Limit/Spiritual Energy Value Limit/Physical Output/Physical Defense will have one item deducted based on the maximum difference. Divine Resistance and True Damage Resistance will also be reduced by 10%."

"Hiss~" Lin Rui took a deep breath instantly.

If this is the case, it's problematic. His Life Value and Spiritual Energy Value differ by nearly a hundred thousand. Calculating based on the maximum difference, if it's deducted from Physical Output, it's manageable; but if deducted from Spiritual Energy Value, it could be cut in half.

If he encounters the [Wild Growth] effect a second time, the maximum difference would reach two hundred thousand, which would practically empty his Life Value!

This means Lin Rui must pass the seventh [Wild Growth] to Setra.

Lin Rui asked: "Is it a cycle every seven times? Or in the order of seven/fourteen/twenty-one?"

Now he had to take it seriously, with absolutely no room for error or oversight.

Rose shook her head and said: "The complication is here, Wild Growth is unsequential and incremented by the difference, adding or subtracting one each time, every seven times a cycle, meaning the sequence is 7/13/22/26/35…"

Audrey felt dizzy and looked confused, asking: "Father, what is the pattern of these numbers? Why does my head feel like it's in a fog?"

At this moment, Rose smiled calmly, took out a table of numbers from a box, handed it to Lin Rui, and said: "Of course, if you can't calculate it clearly, here's a chart. Just remember the numbers; you'll know when gaining becomes Wild Growth. Memorizing a few hundred numbers should be a breeze for you, right?"
