Chapter 406: 229 Talent Level 8_2
With each mission providing a fifty percent permanent attribute bonus and an SSS-level feature, Dean McKenzie figured that with a few more like this, he could take off without even having to go through the Seven-turn Promotion Quest process.
Therefore, he was eager for another wave of these tasks, and even more waves after that.
With his current 800 million Spirit, combined with his arcane-level Flight Skill, he could reach any corner of the Alliance within ten minutes.
“No one, no one can beat me; I am definite to take on this task, and in this wave, I am sure to soar!”
As Dean eagerly waited, before long, new system prompts began to refresh.
[Please note, the 34th Heavenly Abyss checkpoint has been breached. The Abyss World invasion is about to begin. The Guardian World Mission is activated. All professionals are requested to proceed to the 34th Heavenly Abyss to fend off the invaders!
Rewards will be settled according to your performance in the task!]
“It’s here!”
Looking at this system prompt, Dean was both shocked and ecstatic.
Within less than five minutes, his Flight Skill brought him to the 34th Heavenly Abyss.
This time Dean was fast. When he arrived, the corrosion rate was only about five percent. He quickly took care of the problem.
With a speed that almost smoked, the problem was solved in less than twenty minutes.
[Congratulations on completing the rescue mission, your personal progression rate is 99.9%, you get[Rescue Chest]one!]
“What the hell?”
Looking at this reward, Dean was somewhat taken aback.
Wasn’t the reward supposed to be something else?
“Why do I only get a chest?
Where are the fifty percent permanent attributes?
Where’s the SSS-level feature?
It’s the same task, with the same 99.9% completion rate, so why are the rewards so different?”
Dean McKenzie was unhappy looking at the chest before his eyes.
“Could it be that I was too fast?
Shouldn’t men actually not rush things? Should I slow down next time, prolonging the duration to see what happens?”
As Dean was pondering, soon the system prompt refreshed again.
[Please note, the 41st Heavenly Abyss checkpoint has been breached. The Abyss World invasion is about to begin. The Guardian World Mission is activated. All professionals are requested to proceed to the 41st Heavenly Abyss to fend off the invaders!
Rewards will be settled according to your performance in the task!]
The system prompt refreshed, and Dean sprang into action once more.
Within less than five minutes, Dean was on the scene again.
This time he had learned his lesson.
He cleared all the people in the Heavenly Abyss first and then waited for the corrosion rate to keep increasing.
Only when it reached ninety percent did Dean take decisive action.
It was a tightrope walk.
Unfortunately, Dean’s strategy did not seem to yield any significant results.
[Congratulations on completing the rescue mission, your personal progression rate is 99.9%, you get[Rescue Chest]one!]
Seeing another so-called “Rescue Chest” in his hands, Dean was somewhat questioning life.
“I suspect the damn system is targeting me!”
If Dean hadn’t gotten such a good reward the first time, he wouldn’t have thought there was something wrong with the rewards he received afterwards.
The first time he got a fifty percent permanent attribute increase and an SSS-level feature reward.
After that, just two chests? Wasn’t this a deception?
Especially when he found out that other professionals who had split the remaining 0.01% contribution also received the same Rescue Chest, Dean realized that he might only get that one reward once.
There wasn’t a second time!
“Is that how it is? Let me test it!”
Soon after, Dean grabbed a professional from the Church and asked him to join in the fourth rescue mission.
To verify his guess, Dean tried to feed as many kills to him as possible.
He himself played a supporting role on the side.
Under Dean’s assistance, it took them about an hour or two to solve the problem.
In this task, Dean achieved a thirteen percent contribution, while the professional whom Dean let take the kills got a whopping seventy-seven percent contribution.
Then, the system began to settle the rewards.
[You have completed the rescue mission, your completion rate is thirteen percent, you get one Rescue Chest!]
Seeing another Rescue Chest, Dean was somewhat getting used to this.
His gaze then fell on the professional.
The professional was enveloped in a bright glowing light as the system rewards were being allocated.
In the glow, one of his attributes increased by 50 percent, and he also had acquired an SSS-level feature.
The moment his attributes skyrocketed and his feature level ascended.
The normally deferential professional instantly became brash, turning to look at Dean McKenzie: “Boy, come and meet your death…”
“Pff!”
Before he could finish his sentence, a Bone Fang penetrated straight through his forehead, taking his life instantly.
“It seems, the same reward can only be obtained once by each person.
This must be some sort of rule. But it’s not a big deal, I can still get it a second time, even if it’s a bit roundabout!”
With that, Dean McKenzie used [Extraction] on his target.
[You have used Extraction. Your Attribute Points are at fifty thousand and you have acquired an SSS-level Essence.]
[You have spent 100,000 Purple gold coins to upgrade the Undying Trait of your skill [Control Skeleton] to [SSS-level]!]
The process was a tad roundabout and he lost fifty percent of his attribute points.
But Dean McKenzie still obtained an SSS-level feature.
“Not bad, if I can get an SSS-level feature from every mission, then it won’t be a total loss!”
Dean McKenzie looked forward to continuing with the next mission.
But this mission seemed to have ended.
No new mission prompts appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie wasn’t sure if the Rescue mission series had been basically completed or if he had behaved so disgracefully that the system decided not to play with him anymore.
“If the system won’t play with me, so be it – I don’t care!”
Dean McKenzie was sour, but promptly opened all three of the so-called Rescue Chests he had acquired.
[You have opened three Rescue Chests!]
[You have obtained 30 Rare Talent Stones!]
[You have obtained the item [Perpetual Magic Bottle]!]
[You have obtained the Instance Scroll [Evil Dragon and Princess]!
Item [Perpetual Magic Bottle] (Using this item, you will have an inexhaustible supply of mana for the next 24 hours)
Instance Scroll [Evil Dragon and Princess] Level 141(This explains a special instance)
…
Looking at the contents of the three chests, Dean McKenzie feels relatively satisfied.
It’s not bad, Dean McKenzie likes it.
Especially those 30 Rare Quality Talent Stones, with these 30 Talent Stones, Dean McKenzie’s Talent Level could be raised to 8!
“The stupid system won’t play with me and that is fine, I don’t care. I’m off to upgrade my Talent Level!”
Dean McKenzie looked enviously towards the ongoing Guardian World Missions in the distance and then dove headfirst into the Land of Bone.
Dean McKenzie had originally planned to start the Promotion Quest immediately.
But since he had obtained the Rare Talent Stones, he decided to first raise his Talent Level and enhance his attributes before setting off for the Promotion Quest.
Luckily, those corpses in the Land of Bone could now be utilized by Dean McKenzie.
Subsequently, Dean McKenzie officially went into ‘seclusion’, frantically using Bone Rebirth to resurrect and kill the corpses on the ground before carrying out his [Extraction]!
Dean McKenzie was very efficient, he had completely used up all the corpses in less than ten days.
The Essence he had obtained was used to enhance the [Insight] trait and upgrade it to SSS-level, simultaneously raising his Talent Level to 8!
[Your Talent Level has increased to Level 8!]
…
Talent: Extraction
Level: 8 (0/500 billion) (Perfect Talent Stones: 0/30)
Mana Consumption: 10 million
Effect: Able to extract attributes from monsters that have been dead for no more than 360,000 minutes.
…
As this Talent’s level increased to Level 8, Dean McKenzie’s attributes experienced a surge.
It should be noted that the previous Level 7 of Legendary Quality, Level 10 gave an attribute value of 1.92 million.
While the Epic Quality Level 10 could grant an attribute value of 5.76 million.
The Talent at Level 8 was five times this base value, meaning a Level 10 Talent could bestow an attribute value of 28.8 million.
So, at his current Level of 140, the total attribute points Dean McKenzie could obtain was 403.2 million.
“Who cares about the fifty percent permanent increase in attributes, I don’t give a damn about it!”
