Ling Chen hadn't come all the way to the East Ocean Continent just to tease the Cherry Blossom God Representative.
He couldn't beat her, and his threats were ineffective. Even after harassing her for so long, it was useless … was there really nothing he could do?
By now, Ling Chen had already stayed in the East Ocean Continent for 12 days. He had found the orb that Su 'Er's information pointed to, but he still hadn't been able to obtain it. However, it wasn't that he hadn't made any gains in the past 12 days. In fact, he had made massive gains. He had found the Libra Orb and obtained three treasures in the Celestial Cherry Valley.
Wait … three treasures …
These days, Ling Chen had been racking his brains trying to think of a way to trick the Cherry Blossom God Representative. He was either harassing her or levelling up, and he had almost forgotten about the three treasures he had obtained from the Cherry Blossom God Representative's residence. Ling Chen took them out one by one.
A Spatial Stone that had been sealed. There was no need to doubt the power of the Void Illusion Stone. The size of this Void Illusion Stone was not inferior to the one he had obtained before. Although it was just a small stone, it was a rare treasure that could not be measured with money. The seal on it was evidently to prevent the Spatial Stone from escaping. Although it was a seal from the Cherry Blossom God Representative, he was sure that the smart Dwarves would be able to open it.
The Belt of Blessing was wrapped around Ling Chen's waist. Although the cherry-white belt didn't quite match his earth-yellow armour [Titan's Embrace], its attractive stats made it so that Ling Chen couldn't find a reason not to equip it. With the additional 5 points of Luck, his Luck directly rose to 22 points.
Flying Scroll, a mysterious scroll that could raise any skill's level by 1 … any skill! Ling Chen had seen this scroll before when he had first met the Qian Gungun. Its effects had completely stunned Ling Chen, but it was a pity that he didn't have the money to buy it back then. He never thought that he would be able to obtain one in the East Ocean Continent.
In that case, which skill should he use this scroll on? Or … should he save it for later? This was because in the mid to late stages, as his profession grew, his skills would become more powerful, and it would be much more difficult to raise them. If he used it now, it wouldn't be as effective as later on.
Ling Chen opened his skill panel and quickly scanned through the skills he had. Due to having two classes, the number of skills Ling Chen possessed far exceeded that of other players. Coupled with the fact that the average strength of his skills was extremely high, the number of skill points required to level up was also astonishing. In addition to Heaven's Jealousy, the difficulty for Ling Chen to level up his skills was many times higher than that of a normal player. However, due to Little Gray's existence, the average level of Ling Chen's skills was definitely not low. Within the Feng Chen Curse Zanni profession, there were only 3 skills that needed to be levelled up … LV6 [Feng Chen Technique], LV3 [Vanishing Shadow] and LV3 [Broken Shadow]. In Ling Tian's Battle Soul profession, the most commonly used skills [Ling Tian Slash], [Ling Tian Burst] and [Four Corners Star Formation] were all max level. In addition, [War God Technique] was LV6 and [Battle Soul Possession] was LV3.
The rest were his own skills — the two powerful ancient battle techniques [Heavenly Wind Technique] and [Item Manipulation Technique] that Tao Tie had given him, [Soul Sacrifice] which was at Level 3, [Soul Demise] which was not very practical at the moment, and [Scan] which was a skill that all professions could have. In addition, there was also a skill that he had copied from the Lucky Cat — [Lucky Hand].
Wait … Lucky Hand?!
A light flashed in Ling Chen's mind, causing him to stand up with a 'whoosh'. He stared at the description of [Lucky Hand] again and again, and after reading it for the fifth time, his eyes completely lit up.
Previously, he had been hesitant to save the Flying Scroll for later in the game, but now, he had decisively crushed it and used it on his Level 3 Lucky Hand.
As an abnormal skill, Lucky Hand was also a powerful thieving skill that came from a heavenly treasure spirit beast and should not have appeared on a human. It was incomparably savage and could be said to be a bug in the game. However, at the same time, the difficulty of leveling it up was exceptionally frightening. From LV3 to LV4, it required a total of 300000 Skill Points, much more than Soul Demise. It was also the skill that Ling Chen needed the most Skill Points to level up at the moment. Ling Chen was definitely unwilling to waste his Skill Points on it. The reason why Lucky Hand could be leveled up to LV3 was all thanks to Little Gray's [Holy Spirit's Gift].
Now, a Flying Scroll had saved Ling Chen a whole 300,000 Skill Points … A terrifying number that could scare a normal player out of their wits. As the Flying Scroll scattered light, a melodious notification sounded in Ling Chen's ears.
"Ding … [Flying Scroll] has been successfully used, your skill [Lucky Hand] has been successfully levelled up to LV4."
[Lucky Hand]: Current Level: LV4, Highest Level: LV5, SP required to upgrade to LV5: 500000. After reaching LV5, the advanced skill [True Lucky Hand] will be automatically derived. A godly skill that comes from the heavenly treasure spirit beast Lucky Cat. Obtaining this skill is like having an invisible hand, able to steal the target's money at will. At its peak, it can instantly and silently steal all of the target's money without the target noticing. Single target Steal: Steals 60-80% of the target's money. The success rate is related to the target's level, grade and luck. Base success rate is (Luck x 8)%. The chance of not being discovered when stealing is related to the target's level, grade and luck. Base success rate is (Luck x 8)%. Consumes 10 MP, cooldown time: 5 seconds.
At LV4, the amount of gold that can be stolen, the base success rate and the chance of not being discovered have all been increased, and the cooldown time has been reduced. To Ling Chen, with his 22 Luck, the (Luck x 8)% chance was a 100% success rate! Of course, this was only the base success rate, and the actual success rate was affected by the target's luck and strength. The higher the target's luck was, the lower the success rate would be. However, among players, there were basically no players who had more luck or strength than Ling Chen. In other words, if Ling Chen used Lucky Hand on a player, there would be no chance of him being discovered.
Ling Chen didn't upgrade [Lucky Hand] to steal money, nor was it because it required the most SP to level up. Instead, it was because of the sentence in the description, "After reaching LV5, the advanced skill [True Lucky Hand] will be automatically derived."
[True Lucky Hand] stole gold.
Ling Chen had seen the description of [True Lucky Hand] on the Lucky Cat before. It was even more terrifying and savage than [True Lucky Hand], and it was countless times more buggy. This was because it could steal any item from the target! Money, items, equipment … even items that were currently being used or worn.
He couldn't steal it, he couldn't threaten it, and he couldn't harass it …
However, if he had [True Lucky Hand], he could steal it!!
He could directly use [True Lucky Hand] to take the pearl off the Cherry Blossom God Representative's body!
The clouds in Ling Chen's head were instantly dispelled, and he was so happy that his lips curved upwards. In order to level up [True Lucky Hand] from LV4 to LV5, he needed 500,000 SP. Unless Ling Chen could kill a LV50 Mysterious God grade Boss, he didn't know how long it would take for him to save up. However, Ling Chen was very calm … because he didn't need SP to level up a skill.
He still had Little Gray!
Every time Little Gray's [Holy Spirit's Gift] levelled up, all of his skills would level up by 1. The next time [Holy Spirit's Gift] levelled up would be when Little Gray reached LV40. In other words, as long as he reached LV40, Little Gray's [Holy Spirit's Gift] would level up to LV3, and [True Lucky Hand] would be maxed out, giving rise to [True Lucky Hand]. Moreover, it would be a LV4 [True Lucky Hand]!
In comparison, no matter how you looked at it, Little Gray's skills were overpowered.
After confirming his goal, Ling Chen felt his vision become much clearer. In that case, before he reached LV40, he wouldn't harass the Cherry Blossom God Representative anymore. Even a rabbit would bite when it was cornered, and who knew what the Cherry Blossom God Representative would do if she was cornered. She had been harassed for so many days, yet she still hadn't left. It was most likely because there was something there that prevented her from leaving, and it was most likely because she was guarding something. If he really forced her to the point where she couldn't take it anymore … then she would directly report it to the Moon Deities. That would be super troublesome.
My next mission is to reach Level 40 as soon as possible!
During his 12 days in the East Ocean Continent, Ling Chen hadn't been very focused on levelling, and had only levelled up twice. He was currently LV31, and was 15% away from LV32. If he focused on levelling, he was confident that he would be able to reach LV40 in 1 and a half months.
In other words, he would have to stay in the East Ocean Continent for at least 1 and a half months, which wasn't something to be happy about.
In order to leave this unbearably barbaric place as soon as possible, it was best to quickly level up.
The first time Ling Chen had gone to the Celestial Cherry Valley, he hadn't used a Spatial Orb, and had instead travelled on foot or on a horse. As such, he had a rough idea of the monster levels in the northern part of the Sunrise City, as well as the places with the most monsters. He summoned his mount and headed north.
Hmm … was it better to kill monsters or kill players to level up …
On the way, he encountered groups of Japanese players, and the tempting thought of killing players to level up flashed through his mind. However, he suppressed it in the end. After all, Japanese players were a bit smarter than monsters, so killing players to level up would only be a bit slower. Right now, his goal was to level up as quickly as possible, so it was best not to waste time on these people. Once he obtained the Cherry Blossom God Representative's orb … he could do whatever he wanted with them.
