Chapter 278: The Great Leap Of All NPCs In The Nine Continents!
It was not known if Annie had brought William good luck.
But William's luck had changed. He was not cursed by the bad luck of Old Leather's endowment.
Old Leather's endowment was rather powerful. Within a radius of 100 meters, if someone with luck worse than him was present, misfortune would befall on that person.
William was enjoying caressing and pinching Annie's thigh. The feeling was great...
Slap!
A loud slapping sound was heard.
William kept his paws silently.
He had been slapped...
Fortunately, he had the charms.
The affinity points of Annie did not drop.
Hehe!
An ugly man would not have such good treatment.
William chuckled to himself. He continued to sit cross-legged on the ground without showing any change in expressions. He looked like he was meditating. The magic resurgence had provided him with many great benefits!
The enhancement in his attributes was: Power+31, Physical Strength+28, Agility+35, Intelligence+21.
His health limit had increased by 1,000 points while his stamina increased by 1,000 points!
With the cumulative increases, he had upgraded by almost ten levels.
It was all worth it.
William was overjoyed when he discovered a new endowment.
(Endowment: Saint Spirit Protection. Your Mental Strength is very strong. Against a mental attack, the protection will reduce the damage and special effects by 30%.
Every time you face a mental attack, there is a fixed chance of the Saint Spirit appearing to deflect the attack.]
Oh...
The 30% reduction in damage was very important to William.
The benefits were not only exclusive to William.
After the magic resurgence, some of the six hundred professionals achieved a breakthrough beyond Advanced.
The bloodline of a portion of professionals upgraded from master to Epic bloodline.
Burned Cinder and Diablo had also received huge benefits.
They had not received any upgrades to their bloodline, but they had discovered new endowments and had upgrades in existing endowments.
When Violent Dragon became a Legendary professional, his endowments had not been upgraded.
But after this event, his endowments had improved.
(Endowment: Super Constitution. Passive defense increases by 35%, health limit increases by 2,000. All damages of physical attacks are reduced by 30%. The damages from magical and mental attacks are reduced by 25%.]
"Tsk, tsk, the Steel Skin of Violent Dragon has upgraded, but it's different from my Man of Steel. Does this mean that these two endowments can coexist together?
"If I can obtain Violent Dragon's endowment, won't my skin be like armor?" William swallowed hard. He was not fond of offensive endowments.
If he had tough defenses, he would be able to inflict massive damage.
In any battle, it was important to survive.
If he could combine the Man of Steel with the Super Constitution and the protection of the Saint Spirit, he would be invincible.
Violent Dragon's super constitution could also fend off mental and physical attacks.
Mental Strength had always been a vulnerability of William.
The Saint Spirit's Protection helped to protect William, but it was still not sufficient. If he could obtain Violent Dragon's Super Constitution, then it would be awesome.
William knew a little about duplicating other people's endowment.
But the difficulty level of endowment duplication was high.
William stroked his chin. He decided not to think about it and left it for a later date.
"What an intense magic resurgence! I feel like I'm swimming in a sea of magic. It's incredible to have such a great upgrade!" Sia wielded her magic wand in joy. She had been the first mage to join William.
Though, she seldom appeared in public in the City of Dawn.
In order to seek the truth, she spent her days at home researching various magic books, skills, and potions.
Today, she had taken a great leap forward.
She had become Advanced, and her bloodline had reached the Legendary level!
She was now an Advanced Legendary mage.
She had managed to fill the mage requirement in the City of Dawn.
Sia was the only professional in the City of Dawn to upgrade from Epic to Legendary bloodline during the magic resurgence.
The chance of that happening was very low.
And what about the effects of the magic resurgence on the nine continents?
The magic resurgence created the evolution of the Elves and Seraphkin, who already had good bloodlines. It had the same effect on humans too.
William ignored the joy of his subordinates.
He left the temple in haste and headed towards Stormy Town.
He wanted to find out how many soldiers' bloodlines had upgraded.
After using numerous insights, he found that out of the 150,000 regular soldiers and the 50,000 reserve soldiers, a total of 50,000 soldiers' bloodlines had upgraded.
For those whose bloodlines had not been upgraded, their attributes and endowments were upgraded instead.
"There is a one-third chance of upgrading. This is incredible." William swallowed hard. In his previous life, after the version upgrade, when he had logged in and came back online, he saw that the NPCs had become extremely powerful.
The effects of the magic resurgence were immense.
Especially when there were many occurrences of the event...
At that moment, William felt sorry for the players.
It was good that the players could revive.
But it could not be compared to each occurrence of the magic resurgence that allowed the NPCs to upgrade rapidly...
That was the reason why the players could not be dominant in the game.
"The soldiers of the City of Dawn are handpicked by me. Moreover, the intensity of magic in Stormy Island is getting stronger. That is the critical factor." William inhaled deeply.
William would be facing a lot of events in the future.
The Magic Conference would be one of the major ones.
The Dawn Army legions would be using the identity of mercenaries to infiltrate Emerald Grand Duchy and Lan Yu Grand Duchy to search for the clues of the blood essence of the Blood Dragon.
William knew that the location of the blood essence was within the two grand duchies.
In William's previous life, only NPCs had been involved in the search for the blood essence. The players did not have the chance to post the location of the blood essence on the forum.
William would like to try his luck to see if he could find the location of the blood essence.
What about the East Sea Metropolis?
William would have to fight with East Sea Metropolis sooner or later. Besides his initial vendetta with Lord Bernard, William was also interested in the blood essence map and his territory.
The great naval war had not started.
William had to control more of the oceans.
Then he would be able to exert more influence.
Many people were curious.
If the distance of the nine continents was far away, what was the use of the naval battles?
Actually... the nine continents would be unified as one!
Since the magic resurgence, the nine continents had been shifting slowly.
In the subsequent game versions, the nine continents would move closer to each other.
Until... the nine continents would become one, leaving only a few hundred kilometers of ocean.
From then on, it would be a war of the NPC factions.
It would be a war of the different factions of the players.
Everyone in the world would be conscripted into military service!
That would be the dawn of endless wars.
