Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 5: King of War! Riding and Cutting Dominator
After observing for a while, Qin Feng had a general grasp of the situation on the "Regional Channel." ๐ฏ๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐๐ฎ๐ต.๐๐ค๐ข
It was a chaotic mix.
Many players called themselves "Reincarnated Players," claiming they had played this Extraordinary game before and knew some of its secrets.
Many players were busy forming factions, recruiting members just as one would to create a guild in an MMO.
There were also many new players like Qin Feng, who knew nothing about the rules and lore of the Lord World and were desperate for reliable guides to answer their questions.
But.
Without exception.
They all seemed to have been in this Lord World for many days.
They had even come into contact with the so-called Native Powers.
He, on the other hand, had only been here for half a day. Forget making contact with "Native Powers"โhe hadnโt even caught a glimpse of them.
Qin Feng couldnโt figure out the specific reason why, nor could he be bothered to investigate it further.
Right now, he was more concerned with how to choose his Lordโs Destiny.
โAs it happened, a seemingly enthusiastic "veteran player" just popped up on the channel. Maybe I can take this opportunity to sound him out before carefully weighing which Lordโs Destiny is the best fit for me...โ
After a moment of thought, Qin Feng opened a private message with the Lord Player named "Donโt call me MC" and took the initiative to write:
"Expert MC,"
"Iโm still struggling with which Lordโs Destiny to choose."
"Do you have a moment? I was hoping you could explain the differences between these Lordโs Destinies."
"I can pay you for your time."
Donโt call me MC: "???"
"Hold on!"
"Bro!"
"Itโs already been so many days!"
"And you seriously havenโt chosen your Lordโs Destiny yet?"
Qin Feng: "..."
โJust as I thought.โ
โThese people all entered the Lord World at the same time.โ
โIโm the only special, unlucky one whoโs fallen way behind the other Lords for no reason.โ
"Ah, okay."
"I get it now."
"You must have been freaked out by this place. After you returned to reality, you were too scared to come back."
"But youโve finally come to your senses now."
"Am I right?"
Since the other player was giving him an easy out, Qin Feng decided to be direct. He admitted that he had indeed been timid, which was why he had "wasted" several days of valuable development time.
"Umm..."
"Yeah..."
"I was terrified at the time, so I never dared to come back..."
Donโt call me MC comforted him in a low voice:
"Donโt worry about it."
"Thatโs normal."
"Lots of new players are like that."
"Youโre actually one of the braver ones. At least you came back."
"Some people watch their villagers die horribly with their own eyes, and after returning to reality, they never dare to log in again, ultimately wasting their status as a Divine Chosen Lord..."
After that, they chatted casually for a bit before Donโt call me MC enthusiastically began explaining the detailed differences between the three Lordโs Destinies to Qin Feng.
The general framework was more or less what Qin Feng had already guessed.
It was just that the three Destinies had completely different focuses.
For example.
The King of War was a build that skewed toward the late game. The further you progressed, the stronger your overall combat power became. However, it was difficult to develop early on, as it lacked resources and combat strength. Moreover, the player themselves was at constant risk of sudden death.
The King of Tactics was a more balanced, jack-of-all-trades build. It could be used for both offense and defense, having no glaring strengths but also no easily exploitable weaknesses.
The King of Territory was a build that favored the early game. At the start, you wouldnโt lack for food or money, nor would you have to fear monster invasions. Life was comfortable, but its growth potential was extremely low, making it easy to become an "ATM" or "granary" for other Lord Players.
However, this was just a rough analysis. The actual combat effectiveness of each build still depended on the playerโs individual skill and their Destiny Talents.
This was especially true for Destiny Talents.
They were a huge variable.
The combat power from a single good talent could easily crush the combined power from a dozen bad ones.
Thus, even a King of Territory following a "farming" build could easily defeat a dozen Kings of War in the late game, so long as they awakened a Heaven-defying, Divine-level Talent...
"There are several ways to obtain Destiny Talents."
"You get one roll at the beginning."
"Then you get another roll every 10 levels."
"Obtaining certain treasures or completing high-difficulty quests can also give you a chance to roll for new Destiny Talents."
"But really, theyโre less like Talents and more like Passive Skills."
"Blah blah blah..."
"If I had to make a recommendation, the King of Tactics Destiny is best for new players. You can remotely command your troops to explore and fight, itโs good for both offense and defense, has no obvious weaknesses, and can handle any situation without too much trouble."
"The second-best choice is the King of Territory Destiny."
"Not only can their resource production make them self-sufficient, but they also donโt have to worry about sneak attacks from Red Name Monster Forces."
"And if you really canโt hack it, you can always join a Lord Alliance as a โTeam Miner,โ providing large quantities of resources in exchange for Shelter from other playersโ armies."
"As for the King of War, just forget it."
"That Destiny is extremely powerful late-game, but itโs pitifully weak early on. It requires a massive investment of resources, and the combat experience is absolute torture."
"You have to understand."
"Even though we Divine Chosen Lords have Infinite Resurrection..."
"...every death is real. The pain isnโt like in a game, where you can just wish it away."
"If youโre careless and lose a battle, not only will you have to personally endure the excruciating pain of being disemboweled by the enemy, but even the elite army you worked so hard to build will be completely annihilated."
"That feeling of going bankrupt is its own special kind of hell..."
In just a few moments, Donโt call me MC had listed a long series of drawbacks for the "King of War."
His intention was to persuade Qin Feng not to choose this massive pitfall of a Destiny.
However, Qin Feng had already made up his mind. He would walk this seemingly treacherous path and become a King of War who personally led his armies into battle.
The reason was simple.
His "golden finger," the cheat that had lain dormant for eighteen years.
It could perfectly compensate for all the weaknesses of the "King of War" while bringing out its full potential.
