"Actually, it's not that I want to farm points. It's that the points want to farm me …"
Actually, I felt rather helpless. It wasn't that I wanted to farm points in the Forest of Dreams. It was that the moment I appeared at the edge of the battlefield, all the devils and undead would madly charge at me. It would be impossible for me not to farm points even if I wanted to.
This was even more ridiculous than a full-screen taunt. It was as if someone shouted something in the world chat the moment I appeared.
"Roland has respawned at XX location. Everyone, hurry up and farm him!"
All the devil and undead players in the "server" stopped whatever they were doing and focused on farming Roland.
In fact, I hadn't even come to the Forest of Dreams of my own volition. It was just that by the time I finally recovered a certain amount of combat strength and walked out of that world, the humans and devils were already engaged in a bloody meat grinder battle.
However, it seemed that neither side had forgotten about me …
Asolivis was always surrounded by dozens of undead. Not long after I left the Forest of Dreams, a patrolling ghost noticed me.
The moment I exposed myself, the Devil Lords and Undead Lords formed a party to raid me. I intended to turn around and kill them one or two at a time, but when forty, eighty, or even a hundred and twenty of them came at me at once, I wouldn't be able to handle them even if I was the real boss. And as I fought, more and more Lord-level cannon fodder would appear. They even brought their own cannon fodder to waste my stamina. I had never seen such shamelessness before.
I could only helplessly choose to flee after a few rounds of explosions. The result was that I was being chased after by others.
I actually wanted to run towards the human allied armies, but I discovered that as long as I appeared on the main battlefield, not only would the Undead Lords and powerful devils continue to chase me to the end, the moment my coordinates were obviously locked on to, Asolivis would soon toss out AoE cannons to start a large-scale bombardment.
The end result was that all the human generals and defense lines refused to allow me to enter. In the end, wherever I went, there would be a mass migration … I really had no choice but to run. I had to drag several hundred powerful devils and undead behind me. Nobody would be able to handle such a situation.
Alright then, I admit that I accidentally became a true jinx that blew up everywhere I went. I had to lead my "train" everywhere I went … It was a pity that the Holy Church's members weren't here. Otherwise, I would have been able to watch a good show.
I didn't know how much the Lord of Tyranny and Shupnus hated me, but the powerful individuals behind me were definitely more than 70% of their high-level combat strength. It would be far too irrational and overboard for them to use just to hunt me down.
"Too much? With so many Lords chasing after you, it would be strange if you didn't die. "
The silly cat had already dispelled her doppelganger and was watching the show as if it had nothing to do with her.
I could only helplessly choose to head west. After all, everyone knew that the Forest of Dreams was the strongest line of defense. Even Undead Lords and powerful devils wouldn't be foolish enough to enter the Forest of Dreams to their deaths.
However, I really didn't know just how much bounty I had on me right now. These undead and devils were supposed to be busy, but they would rather stay in the Forest of Dreams than return to the Forest of Dreams.
The end result was that the moment I left the Forest of Dreams, I would be surrounded by a large group of people and forcefully blocked off …
"This isn't going according to the script. Everyone else finally mastered a godly technique, broke through to the next level, and killed powerful enemies. Then, they killed all who stood in their way and reached the peak. Why is it that even though I've clearly become stronger and have a deadly weapon in my hands, my life has become even more pitiful than before?"
"… Perhaps, from a certain standpoint, it's because of the ultimate weapon in your hands. Nobody would want to be like those two unlucky fellows who were mysteriously beaten half to death by you. That's why they'll think of a way to kill you first. "
I instantly came to a realization upon hearing this.
Large countries had strategic weapons in order to intimidate others. If a small country had strategic weapons but didn't have enough resources, they wouldn't be able to prove that they had the power to become the ruler of the Forest of Dreams. Others would think of ways to kill them before they could rise up.
"It would seem that I'll need to think of an even bigger plan."
"… Of course, it's mostly because of the devils and undead's personal grudges. It would be strange if they didn't hunt you down to the very end after you were in such a pitiful state. Once they recover, they'll definitely personally come after you to the death. "
Heloise's words made me feel like my previous thoughts were meaningless. As expected, personal grudges were the true reason why I was being hunted down.
Since I couldn't leave the Forest of Dreams, I could only wander around aimlessly.
Recently, I had killed quite a few undead and devils. I went to the local church branch that was in charge of exchanging Fate Points and updated my combat results and statistics. I then mysteriously increased my Fate Points to the maximum.
The staff member in charge of registration even asked me if I wanted to publicize my Fate Points. Now that the entire world knew that I was here, there was nothing I couldn't publicize.
Since I had earned money, I naturally wanted to spend it. I decided to go on a large shopping spree.
The Forest of Dreams had many local specialties. Right now, the most famous ones were probably the Dusk Fruit and Dawn Fruit. Each one of them was equivalent to five years of lifespan. Of course, for the vast majority of people, the Dawn Fruit that increased their lifespan by five years was something that they could only dream of.
I didn't spend my Fate Points on Dawn Fruits because I had already eaten more than enough Dusk Fruits. Lifespan wasn't really that meaningful to me. After all, I had never lived to the natural end of my lifespan. I had basically died on the way here.
The wood spirits' treasures weren't limited to just these two types of fruits.
Long ago, the wood spirits had used their divine power of nature to create fruits that would permanently increase one's stats. These fruits could fundamentally change the user's physique, strength, and agility, making up for natural deficiencies.
From a certain standpoint, this was a miracle for those who had reached the level of the Creator Goddesses.
Perhaps the System's stat evaluation would be incomprehensible to most people, but for others, these miraculous fruits would allow them to run faster, have greater strength, react faster, and have a healthier and stronger body.
Newbie adventurers would always love ultimate techniques and forbidden spells. But for true veterans who had experienced life-and-death situations, only they would know that basic abilities were the foundation of everything.
The adventurers who were stuck at a bottleneck due to their lack of talent were even more overjoyed.
For a while, these precious fruits sold like hotcakes. But soon, the adventurers discovered that these fruits were lacking.
First, these fruits were extremely expensive, and the amount they could increase was rather low. Second, after eating a certain amount, the effects would rapidly decrease or even become ineffective. Third, there were problems with the direction in which the fruits could increase one's strength. Some warriors had worked so hard to obtain a Strength Fruit, but after eating one, they discovered that it didn't increase their strength at all. However, as a pure heavy shield warrior, they had no need for reaction speed.
After reaching a certain level, it would be impossible to change the direction of the fruits. Although they had paid a high price for the fruits, they still didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Actually, this was determined by the basic principles of these fruits. They were pure life energy that could make up for and increase one's life's deficiencies. However, this was limited by the individual's limits and talent.
Some people were actually quite suited to be thieves, but they were born into a Knight family and eventually became a heavy armor warrior. When they worked hard to the extreme, it was also time for them to compete on talent. However, their natural limits were already limiting their potential. These fruits wouldn't give them a chance to start all over again. They could only activate their potential based on their own foundation in order to make up for and increase their strength.
The end result would be that one's strengths would be pushed to the extreme, and one's potential would be unlocked. Even eating the fruits would have limited benefits. Places that one wouldn't normally train in would instead be more likely to activate their useless potential.
But for me, these fruits contained life energy, so it would be quite difficult for me to reach a bottleneck in the short term.
"That's because I'm a SemiGod, and a SemiGod that just recently advanced."
After becoming a SemiGod, I had fused with a Myth-ranked weapon, which meant that I had basically completed a species evolution. I was no longer human, so I naturally surpassed the limits and limitations of a human.
Although SemiGods still had limits, those limits were much higher than ordinary people.
It seemed that even after so many years had passed, this little secret still hadn't spread. Perhaps it was because SemiGod powerhouses no longer cared about improving their strength through external items. Or perhaps it was because the few people who knew the truth hid this secret in order to monopolize the fruits. After all, there was a limit to how many of these fruits could be produced every month.
However, this month's production suddenly increased by more than ten times, yet there were no more fruits on the market. Would anyone believe me if I told them that I didn't pull strings?
SemiGod powerhouses would need large amounts of practical combat and bitter cultivation to improve themselves after breaking through the natural talent limit of their species. However, it seemed that I was able to increase my stats by simply eating fruits.
Right now, I was actually having quite a good time. Every day, I would go out to kill wild monsters, eat fruits, kill wild monsters, and eat fruits … It was likely that I would be too lazy to move around before I reached my limit, and there weren't any more stat fruits on the market.
"Eating fruits can increase my stats? What a comfortable way to cultivate. What a rare vacation time …"
But sometimes, I really couldn't say such things out loud. The moment I said them out loud, new troubles would follow.
