Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 138 - 97: New Module! Survival of the Fittest! More Wild Monsters
[Upgrade Requirement: Dragon Crystal x500]
...
Staring at the system prompt that popped up before him, Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel conflicted.
Four options lay before him.
Upgrade the "Bloodthirsty" Talent to Level 4 and unlock a brand-new killing effect.
Upgrade the "War Merit Enfeoffment" Talent to Level 2, giving his Divine Chosen Soldiers an even higher tier of advancement options.
Unlock the new "Survival of the Fittest" Talent, which would allow the Divine Chosen Legion under his command to automatically gain Combat Experience Points daily until they met the requirements for promotion.
Unlock the new "More Wild Monsters" Talent, which would summon hostile forces from an Otherworld. They could serve as targets for stacking his "Bloodthirsty" Talent and also as an additional source of troops for his "Recruit Prisoners" Talent.
’Damn.’
’This is a tough choice.’
’They’re all top-tier Mount & Blade mods.’
’Although I’ll be able to get all of these Mount & Blade mods after the "Strongest Lord" event ends, there are still a full thirty days until then!’
’Isn’t this just torture?’
After long consideration, Qin Feng finally decided to unlock the "Survival of the Fittest" Talent first, as it was the most cost-effective option of the four.
First, a Level 4 Bloodthirsty Talent would boost Qin Feng’s personal abilities faster. However, the recent "Void Tide" had already proven that it was useless for a Lord Player to be invincible on their own. He needed a powerful Divine Chosen Legion to back him up.
Second, a Level 2 War Merit Enfeoffment Talent would most likely allow his Divine Chosen Soldiers to be promoted to Heroic Units, but there would certainly be some restrictions on the enfeoffment.
According to the original game’s mechanics, a Divine Chosen Soldier had to personally defeat a Heroic Unit to be promoted to a Heroic Unit of the same level.
However, Heroic Units were not easy to find at this stage.
If it weren’t for the Void Tide, Qin Feng wouldn’t have encountered a single boss or Heroic Unit in the past month, let alone have his Divine Chosen Soldiers kill one. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Therefore, this Talent was not a high priority.
Finally, there was the new Mount & Blade Talent, "More Wild Monsters." While it was a good source for stacking Bloodthirsty Layers and could also expand the variety and number of his Divine Chosen Legion, considering it might have unit quantity and quality restrictions like the Ranger’s "Hunting" skill, it might only summon a dozen or so trash-tier "Mountain Bandit"-level combat units each day.
So, acquiring it wasn’t a high priority either.
That left "Survival of the Fittest" as the only Talent worth prioritizing.
Even if it came with unknown risks, like granting only a small amount of Experience Points daily, it would concretely and directly increase the overall strength of Qin Feng’s army. It would also help him deal with the highly likely downtime ahead where there would be no monsters to grind.
"Alright!"
"I’ll risk it!"
"I’m betting it all on ’Survival of the Fittest’ being the best deal!"
"Let’s do this!"
[You have consumed 500 Dragon Crystals and obtained a new Hidden Talent!]
[Survival of the Fittest (Lv. 1): Your Divine Chosen Soldiers will gradually accumulate Combat Experience Points as they survive over time by continuously sparring, learning, and interacting with their peers. (The rate of experience gain is based on the strongest group of Divine Chosen Soldiers under your command—this top-tier group’s own experience gain is extremely low, but the daily experience gain for all lower-tier soldier types is extremely high. The lower the Soldier Level, the faster the experience growth, allowing them to quickly develop into high-level soldiers.)]

"Holy shit!"
"Awesome!"
"This effect!"
"I really bet on the right one!"
However, Qin Feng’s joy was short-lived. A sudden red system warning popped up, and his expression instantly darkened.
[Your ally "Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior’s" territory is under attack!]
’This!?’
’What’s going on!?’
’Doesn’t the Void Tide only attack the territories of "Sealers"!?’
’Why is Long Zhongyi being attacked too!?’
At this thought, Qin Feng quickly raised his hand and summoned Ashes, who was circling in the sky, to ask what was happening over there.
"HOOT HOOT (Lord Big Human! I don’t know either! When my Owl Spirit Body just flew over that underground cavern, I totally didn’t see any monsters!)"
Just then, Ashes suddenly froze for a moment, then spoke in an extremely nervous tone:
"HOOT HOOT HOOT (Oh no! Lord Big Human! This is bad! That place belonging to the human called... Long... Zhong... Yi! It’s surrounded by a ton of humans now!)"
’Humans?’
’Wait a minute.’
’Wasn’t it the Void Tide attacking Long Zhongyi?’
’Why are there humans?’
While he was still stunned, "Dragon King" and his group, who had been using Invisibility in the nearby woods, suddenly appeared. There were three Lord Players in total, followed by a large group of Divine Chosen Soldiers.
But unlike normal Divine Chosen Soldiers, these soldiers were surrounded by a thin mist of dark purple energy, and their eyes glowed with an ominous crimson light.
"Move out!"
"Attack!"
Following the "Dragon King" player’s order, the "Greed" player beside him immediately extended his right hand toward the army of Desert Giant Wolves in the distance and unleashed his Control Element Lord Skill.
Petrifying Gaze!
The spell used Petrification Magic to hard-control all units, friend and foe alike, within a certain range for 10 seconds!
"Alan!"
"Take care of these Demon Beast giant wolves!"
Hearing this, the female player known as "Seductive Desire" immediately raised the black Magic Staff in her hand. Aiming directly above the petrified Desert Giant Wolves, she began to frantically gather the free-roaming lightning elements from the air.
