Chapter 49

As the ballista sounded off, the beach was stained red by blood, the rolling waves full of blood, the huge crocodiles’ inflated corpses stacked into piles of small meat hills.

A golden light flashed, Level 22!

A golden light flashed again, Level 23!!

A golden light continued to flash, Level 24!!!

Killing BOSSes with 2 shots each, Da Fei’s level skyrocketed! These BOSS monsters that used to instill fear in people became Da Fei’s large amounts of EXP after their last breakfast. No, they became the stairs leading to Truth itself! How shocking was this grinding speed! Originally, the shark Da Fei encountered on the sea giving 2,500 EXP per shot was already quite an unbelievable reward. But compared to this 15,000 EXP crocodile, it was totally nothing at all.

Why am I so awesome? Brouhahaha.

Da Fei’s laughter resounded over the island for a long period of time.

What Da Fei didn’t know was that his skyrocketing leveling had already shocked the professional observers in the China region! Within a mere two hours, Da Fei’s ranking rose from tens of millions to the top 10,000 in the world! And his ranking was still increasing rapidly!

After all, Da Fei had snatched a Godly Hero’s quest reward and at the same time was wanted by Godly Hero Raging Sea of Blood through the top post on the forum. He could be considered a gossip celebrity already. It was difficult for him to not be followed by others.

Host: “Hello, players and friends! This week of Hero News is back again. The game has already started for six days, let us take a look at the situation in the world ranking now.

“In first place is still French player Natasa’s Vampire Princess, Level 29!

“Second place and third place are still China’s Star Team player Little Pig Run Fast’s Griffin Breeder and Russia’s War Angel Team player Baplov’s Siege Technician, Level 28! Currently, these three people are already way ahead in the first three places for six days already. The superiority in level is difficult for other players to challenge them now. Other than the reason for them entering the game at the first timing, it is also largely because of their strong and more suitable for early-stage talents. It’s also related to their hardworking grinding day and night without logging off. Of course, we don’t encourage ordinary players to learn from them…

“As for the world’s top Godly Hero that many players are interested in, Sweden player Vurtne’s Death Lord is still lying low, currently at Level 21 and ranking above ten million. But according to information gathered from the EU region forum, Vurtne seems to have discovered the existence of a Bone Dragon in the wilderness. If he really manages to obtain a Level 7 unit like the Bone Dragon which players have no way of obtaining at the current stage, his leveling speed will definitely skyrocket.

“And talking about leveling speed, what is worth paying attention is, currently in our China region, there is already one player. In the past two hours, which is also a day’s time in-game, his level is rising with unbelievable speed and he’s already Level 24 now. He’s the Red Name player currently being largely criticized on the forum, Da Fei. This is a really surprising thing, and what’s even more surprising is that he is already Level 24, but he still hasn’t changed his occupation. We will continue to pay attention to his progress!

“Analyzing from the situation of the current top 100 of the level ranking, Heroes that are leveling fast are mostly medium- or low-level units and talent. In comparison, USA’s Supernova Team’s player Elisa’s Unicorn Girl talent seems to be in a very awkward position. After all, in the early stage, players have no way of obtaining Level 5 units like Unicorn, so her situation now is equivalent to having no talent, and her ranking is also not much higher than ordinary players.

“And up until now, magic-type Hero players are still in an inferior situation as magic’s mana consumption, magic with recovery speed using in-game days to calculate, expensive magic potions and limited supply all greatly limit magic-type Hero players’ initial development. But magic-type players are without a doubt very strong in the later stages. Regarding this point, the vast magic-type Hero players, please have firm confidence in yourselves. Your future is bright, but the path is winding—”

And at this time, in front of the camera, a staff member passed a note to the host. The host’s endlessly reporting suddenly stopped! After a short silence, in immense astonishment, she said, “Hello, all players. Latest news, the China region player Da Fei we just reported on, has leveled up to Level 25 just now! Just before this week’s program started, the latest news I received here was still Level 24. In less than 10 minutes’ time, he leveled up again!”

Needless to say, the China region’s game forum began a new round of excitement. If it could be said that Da Fei became famous because of his vile actions having something to do with Godly Hero Raging Sea of Blood, then it was purely his capability now! Many ball-aching players on the forum were guessing how this big Red Name could still level up so crazily while not changing occupation.

Hearing of this news, Raging Sea of Blood was filled with so much hatred that his heart was bleeding! No matter how this trash was leveling, his achievements were achieved by snatching his Godly Hero’s reward! And there was only one reason why he was not changing class, which was that he still had not reached land yet. This hatred was absolutely irreconcilable! No matter how much money he had to fork out, as long as this trash dared to show up, he would pay to have him being killed until he became a Level 0!

…

Barren Sea, Crocodile Island.

Following the death of another large crocodile with a boom, a golden light descended from the sky!

—System Message: Congratulations! You leveled up to Level 25! Assignable Attribute Point +1, Skill Point +1, Health Points +2, Command Power +1, Base Damage +1.

—System Message: As a Junior Voyager, you obtained growth, you are rewarded with 1 assignable attribute point.

He leveled up again! And the thing that made Da Fei even more excited than leveling up was that the Truth that he had waited for so long had finally arrived!

—System Message: You gathered Barren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile’s complete information!

—Gluttony Weakness: Reptiles normally are unable to choose the size of food and can only devour it whole, leading to a large drop of 45%-75% in Defense and Speed.

The data was out, the information was perfected!

—System Message: Congratulations! Through continuous reconnaissance and gathering information of powerful creatures, your Reconnaissance Skill has improved greatly. You comprehended Grandmaster level Reconnaissance Skill!

—System Message: Through the continuous gathering of powerful creatures’ information and researching their weakness, you obtained all of the information about the skill “Intelligence Analysis”. You comprehended the sub-skill “Intelligence Analysis”.

—Grandmaster Level Reconnaissance Skill: Increases Hero’s field of vision by 120%, able to discover creatures hiding in other dimensions.

Brouhahaha! Comprehended, I really did comprehend the Grandmaster level skill as expected! Not only that, but even the sub-skill is also comprehended too! Intelligence Analysis, the godly skill that ignores enemies’ defense by 25%-100%, the only formidable combat skill in Reconnaissance Skill. With this godly skill at hand, my ballista will shoot the shit out of those monsters! My life from now on does not need explanations, haha, brouhahaha!

Although surprise rewards normally made people overjoyed, gaining the reward through analyzing and effort made people even more fulfilled and satisfied! And what made Da Fei even happier was that the comprehended Grandmaster skill and Intelligence Analysis were given by the System for free, he didn’t need to spend any Skill Point on them.

So that’s how it is! Comprehending does not require the usage of Skill Points, it’s equivalent to a System reward. On the other hand, learning skills require Skill Points. This is a totally different concept. Especially when leveling is difficult in the later stages and Skill Points are seriously tight, comprehending is really too important.

Through the successful comprehension this time, Da Fei had already faintly figure out a knack to comprehending the Grandmaster level. Firstly, the enemy faced must be a monster stronger than himself by a lot. Then, this type of monster must be the same kind, and only through combat with the same kind of monster repeatedly could a large amount of comparable data be gathered and comprehended through it.

Deducing from this, if he wanted to level up his Attack Skill to Grandmaster level, then the most reliable way was to attack monsters of the same type continuously? But then again, his ballista was already Master level, wasn’t it? It had already been attacking the powerful crocodile BOSS repeatedly, wasn’t it? Why was there no notification or signs of comprehending at all? Could it be that all of his brain power was used to think about Grandmaster Level Reconnaissance Skill, so there was no time to bother about the ballista?

Haha! No rush, the first Grandmaster has already been comprehended, will the second Grandmaster still be far away? No, no, no, Juan has already said it in the diary. Being a Grandmaster already, will God level still be far away? This account of mine is already a Godly account. Even if I can’t make a living here anymore, I can still sell it at the price it deserves and not accept anyone suppressing the price.

That’s right. From now on, I’m a Grandmaster!
