However, one must note that Sheyan and Reef were both rarely seen MTs. Their combined HP far exceeded 1000 points. With this' Life-link ', it could be said that they had an additional life!
Of course, this' Life-link 'wasn't as useful as imagined. For example, in an environment where they were inferior to the enemy. No matter how tanky Reef was, after entering this' Life-link 'state, he could at most hold on for a few minutes. If the enemy had an absolute advantage, they wouldn't even bother searching for the linked Sheyan. Instead, they would besiege Reef with frenzied attacks.
Even if the enemy's attack power was weakened to the extreme, at least 1 point of damage would still be dealt. There wouldn't be an 'immune' state. Once the transferred damage caused Sheyan to enter a near-death state, then the 'Life-link' state would be dispelled. It could even kill two birds with one stone.
But overall, this Life-link party ability had undoubtedly greatly increased the survivability of the two players. There was no doubt about this. Furthermore, it could be upgraded? Although upgrading required a terrifying 3 party skill points …..
Following that, because 'Life-link' already occupied one of the 3 party skills, the two of them could only draw 4 party skills. After selecting 2 more, Reef expressed considerable interest in this matter, and volunteered to draw. In the end, the 4 party skills were drawn with the following ABCD/ABCD:
A: 'Asylum lvl 1' (Passive) – All party members receive 100 points of HP and 100 points of MP. Disappears after losing party member status.
B: 'Wealth management lvl 1' (Passive) – All party members purchase items from the realm through the nightmare imprint reduced by 33%. When selling miscellaneous items to the realm through the nightmare imprint, your profits increased by 33%.
C: 'Gloryheal lvl 1' (Active) – The glory of the party can rescue members from the clutches of the grim reaper during crucial moments. After activating this ability, HP will be continuously restored for 12 seconds. The total amount recovered is 50% of the maximum HP. Release of party ability without consumption. Cooldown of 12 hours.
D: 'Piercing lvl 1' (Passive) – All party members receive 12% increase in damage.
Based on the guidance of the hoarse voice, Sheyan and Reef briefly discussed. The remaining 2 party abilities were chosen as survival type – 'Asylum lvl 1' and 'Gloryheal'. After confirming, the hoarse voice announced.
"Very good. The team has been successfully established, right? I'll take my leave now. I hope you'll be able to achieve good results in the upcoming challenges."
Sheyan was still contemplating the matter of recovering Uncle Dasi's severed fingers, and was about to inquire about this officer from the future. Who would have thought that this guy would leave so abruptly, as though he was a mysterious dragon that showed its head but not its tail. At this moment, the opposite side reverted back to its monotonous electronic voice.
[Small-scale Silver Party: Ace has been successfully established!]
"You've joined a small Silver Party: Ace!"
"Team size: Small." (When a large party is required to complete a mission, members of a small party can choose to join a large party as a group. However, they will not be able to enjoy the bonuses and party skills of the large party. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a lower ranked party to access the information of a higher ranked party – unless the other party voluntarily reveals themselves.
"Party Grade: Silver."
"Party Level: LV1 (0/15). Requires 15 Party Experience to reach the next level."
"Every time an official member of the party leader or vice-leader completes a main or hidden mission, the party will gain 1 party experience point. Apart from that, there are other ways to gain party experience, such as obtaining party level exclusive missions, or engaging in party battles. "
"Party leader: No.1018. Current military rank: Second Lieutenant. This information can be hidden from party members. "
"Details: To upgrade the next party level, the party leader's military rank must be promoted to First Lieutenant. Before being promoted to First Lieutenant, if the party's experience reaches the prerequisite, then it will overflow. There won't be a situation where it can't increase. (This means there will be a situation of 2015)
"Vice-Leader: No. 770123. Current military rank: Lieutenant Colonel (Reserve duty). This information can be hidden from party members."
"Hidden party skill: Life-link lvl 1. This information can be hidden from party members. "
"Party skill: Shelter lvl 1 (Passive)."
"Party skill: Gloryheal lvl 1 (Active)."
"Official members of the party can enjoy the privilege of silver rank: When engaging in a party battle with other parties, they can directly suppress the enemy party's skills, reducing the effects by at least 10% – 30% (Determined by the grade of the enemy party). Increase the failure rate of the enemy party's skills to 20% – 50% (Determined by the grade of the enemy party)."
"Unofficial party members can only enjoy the party skill: Shelter."
Witnessing this final outcome, Sheyan and Reef were pleasantly surprised. Honestly speaking, to be able to reap such benefits, it had greatly exceeded their expectations. Moreover, their previous adventures in the Lord of the Rings world had indeed left them mentally and physically exhausted. A 'B' difficulty world was indeed terrifying, any random boss could easily crush them.
Surviving in such an environment, the pressure naturally multiplied. Hence, after their excitement, they felt an immense mental exhaustion assaulting them. After bidding farewell, they hurriedly returned to the present world. No matter what, they had to recover and relax first.
*****
After returning to the present world, he was still in Hong Kong. Even when Jessica called him for a date, he wasn't interested. He was truly exhausted, and found a decent looking hotel to book a room. Then, he filled the bathtub with water before deciding on anything else.
In his drowsy state, Sheyan couldn't help but muddle-headedly consider his next move. To him, there were many things he had to do in the present world.
Firstly, when he was working for Saruman, he discovered that wolves, ordinary freshwater fishes, snakes, dogs and even mantises could be used as raw materials for concocting medicine. If he could produce even one of them, it would be able to enrich his own concoctions.
Next was the issue of awakening his innate ability. After his battle with Yi Wufu, Sheyan was on the verge of awakening his innate ability. Therefore, if he trained bitterly in Thailand for a period of time, he should have sufficient confidence to breakthrough.
Finally, he had to consider the issue of Uncle Dasi's illness. Firstly, he had to urge him to treat his illness. Secondly, he had to construct a ship to pacify the old man's heart. This was equivalent to finding something to occupy him with to prevent him from letting his imagination run wild.
In terms of personal benefits, whether it was concocting new concoctions or awakening his innate ability, both were equally important. But to someone like Sheyan who valued kinship and family, he couldn't stop worrying about Uncle Dasi who was like a father to him. Ultimately, he chose to return to Taiwan. He would rather take a risk for his own survival, and hope that Uncle Dasi could live comfortably for a few days. Moreover, when he returned to Taiwan, he could also find some time to experiment with new concoctions.
After deciding on his course of action, Sheyan's consciousness sunk into a semi-hazy state. He directly fell asleep in the bathtub, releasing even snores. Only when the water turned cold, did he wake up from the cold. Then, he crawled out of the bathtub and laid down on the bed to sleep. During this period, he only crawled out to pee once.
This peaceful sleep lasted for an entire 24 hours. Finally, Sheyan was awoken by several waiters who seemed relieved of a heavy burden. Due to the recent drug trafficking scandal in this hotel, they were all like birds startled by the twang of a twang of a bow. Witnessing Sheyan's suspicious behavior of not leaving his room for 24 hours, they were afraid of being implicated in another murder case. After repeatedly knocking on the door and receiving no response, they directly resorted to breaking in.
Sheyan was both angry and amused at the same time when he saw this group of fearful employees. He helplessly shrugged his shoulders, but as the saying goes, one doesn't slap a smiling face. The only thing he could do was to settle the bill and leave. However, after leaving the hotel, he felt his stomach rumbling with hunger. Spotting a large food stall by the side, and smelling waves of fragrant aroma, he couldn't help but walk over.
This food stall looked rather simple and crude, if one were to strictly adhere to hygiene standards, it would definitely fail. It wasn't easy for Sheyan to find a seat. He had to share a table with others. Although the table was cleaned, the grease was at least as thick as a fingernail. Before he could order, he saw a yellow-skinned woman with a straight face throw down a bowl with a clang. The bowl had water stains on it. It was obvious that the other customers had just finished eating and rinsed it with water before serving it.
Sheyan was about to use tissue paper to wipe the bowl dry, but the yellow skinny woman had already pulled over a large aluminum bowl. She scraped the bottom of the bowl with a metal ladle, and then scooped half a ladle of viscous liquid into the bowl for Sheyan. The liquid was rather viscous, mixed with many crimson and snowy white strands. Waves of steam rose up, and an indescribable fragrance assailed his nostrils.
He couldn't help but lift the bowl, and sipped half a mouthful with the spoon. The soup was silky and soft, and had a strange aroma of seafood and mountain delicacies mixed together. After chewing slightly, he realized there were 'tough' strands between his teeth, and he had to use force to break them. It was very chewy and chewy, probably because of the vermicelli added in.
