Divine-tier talent?
Ye Yun was taken aback.
He recalled that the Heavenly Dao announced talent had 12 levels, but above the Heavenly level, there was no explicit explanation in the data released by the Heavenly Dao.
Now, his 11th-level talent was named Divine, which showed how incredible the subsequent levels must be.
"System Prompt: Congratulations to player **** for upgrading talent to Divine tier! Reward: 2000 attribute points. Due to being within the protection period, the full server announcement is canceled."
"System Prompt: Congratulations to player **** for being the first to upgrade talent to Divine tier! Reward: 10000 attribute points. Due to being within the protection period, the full server announcement is canceled."
"System Prompt: Congratulations to player for breaking the shackles of humanity and shattering the seal placed by the gods on human talent! Reward: 20000 attribute points! Title obtained: Human King! Due to being within the protection period, the full server announcement is canceled."
Human King—the title of the king of the human race! Possesses innate leadership qualities! Holders of this title gain a permanent 1% increase in attack, a permanent 10% increase in HP, and the skill: King's Blessing.
A single talent upgrade brought Ye Yun a whopping 32000 attribute points and an additional title he had never even heard of!
The rewards were worlds apart compared to upgrading to Heavenly tier. Especially the title, which completely shocked Ye Yun and redefined his understanding of things.
King's Blessing - Uses the heavens as an altar and the earth as a cage, forcibly extracts the vital energy of players within a hundred-mile radius to strengthen oneself! Each player extracted consumes 10 Qi, increasing one's own strength by 0.1%. Players whose strength is extracted will enter a thirty-minute berserk state, and for the next three days, all their attributes will be reduced to 1. (Note: This is a skill of desperation and rebirth. Players are advised to use it with caution.)
This skill! He really wanted to try it.
The attributes granted by the title itself were not particularly outstanding, even inferior to some skills or equipment, but this skill was simply cruel and heaven-defying!
It provided at least a threefold increase in strength. Considering Ye Yun's current power, he couldn't even imagine how strong he would become with a threefold increase. At least, he would be more powerful than those ancient true immortals, right?
Ye Yun looked at the surrounding approximately 8000 enemies and his only teammate, sighing. He then allocated all the newly acquired attribute points.
The skill 'Gold Touch' entered its countdown again, this time requiring 121.6 hours (5% reduction from equipment). However, the experience stored in Ye Yun's experience storage orb was only a little over a billion, still a long way from ten billion.
Continue! Ye Yun's eyes lit up. With the addition of 2000 attribute points to each defense, these artifacts could no longer penetrate his defenses, and his damage output was destined to be like a falling leaf in the autumn wind from the moment his talent upgraded! It originally took nine seconds to kill a wave of over 1000 artifacts, but now, a single 'Demon Flame' could clear three waves!
A level 60 Soldier-tier artifact with 120,000 HP couldn't withstand 3 seconds under Ye Yun's 'Demon Flame'!
Meanwhile, outside the game, countless players were glued to the number one spot on the leaderboard, their eyes wide with disbelief. They were truly stunned by Ye Yun's speed of leveling up twice in less than a minute. After all, the player ranked second had only just reached level 12!
"Damn it, who the hell is this guy! Could it be that guy with Heavenly-tier talent from Huaguo?" A team of players stood amidst a group of level 20 wild monsters, frowning as they looked at the nationality behind the first place ranking.
"Paulson, I think it's necessary to raise this guy's threat level to X again. We need to mobilize some of our assets in Huaguo," said a beautiful woman with revealing attire and emanating purple light, speaking to a burly man. She was none other than Mia Luo, the captain of the US special task force.
"I support the captain's decision. If this guy really is him, the impact on our reality in the US will be irreparable. Although he can't compare to our captain yet, his talent is ultimately a threat to us," added Tigress, also clad in purple equipment. He was playing as a sword master.
"Alright, I'll get on it. By the way, have we verified the progress of the epic quest we purchased from Huaguo? Do we still need to pay them the remaining 1 billion US dollars? They've inquired a few times," Paulson suddenly asked.
Yesterday, Huaguo's Dragon Palace had suddenly contacted them, offering to sell them a trigger guide for the新手村 (Novice Village) epic quest. They were initially reluctant to engage, but after reviewing the information, they compromised.
"Pay? Not in this lifetime. They want 10 billion US dollars for a single file! And they're selling it to so many countries simultaneously! Dammit! Even if we bought it at auction, that file would only cost a little over a billion US dollars! And why is ours fifty percent more expensive than other countries?" Paulson's mention of it ignited Mia Luo's anger. She immediately unleashed a skill that instantly obliterated dozens of wild monsters gnawing at them.
They had participated in the bidding back then. They just didn't expect the profit margin to be so immense. By simply selling this guide, Huaguo's Dragon Palace had made at least twenty to thirty billion US dollars in revenue.
"Even though I'm angry, we're not without options. I just received information from our global military bases. Our people have successfully accepted five of these quests ahead of our allies in five other countries," Paulson said with a slight smile, revealing his yellow teeth.
Upon hearing Paulson's words, Tigress and Mia Luo's eyes lit up.
"What about Huaguo..."
"Huaguo has already completed all their quests. Otherwise, do you think they would be selling this thing?"
"That's true. Forget it, as long as those five quests are completed, the funds we spent purchasing this guide will be worth it," Mia Luo exhaled, not even glancing at the gold coins dropped by the monsters at their feet.
"What about the remaining payment..."
"We're not paying. Do they really dare to start a war with us over 1 billion US dollars? This time, we will use this game to make America great again, to surpass Huaguo once more!" Mia Luo didn't care about credit at all. If they had followed the rules, America would have perished long ago.
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements..."
"Tigress! Figure out a way to deal with this guy. As our task force's financial minister, acting so leniently is unacceptable," Mia Luo said coldly to Tigress, who was looking at the offline Paulson.
"Mm, I'm already thinking of ways. By the way, captain, what global strategy were you talking about?" Tigress nodded, his gaze lingering on Mia Luo's long legs, and he swallowed.
"I will not only impose various encirclements and restrictions on Huaguo in reality, but I will also isolate them in the game. I don't know why, but Mia Luo's hostility towards Huaguo stems from somewhere."
"So you want me to call the Polar Bear and invite their team to visit our task force headquarters?" Tigress averted his lecherous gaze, a flicker of understanding crossing his face.
"Now that someone like this has appeared in Huaguo, breaking all conventions, even they wouldn't want to see it. Let's go." Saying this, Mia Luo swayed her alluring figure and continued walking deeper into the wild monsters, where her mission objective lay.
Meanwhile, in the 'Heavenly Dao' strategic force headquarters of Sakura Country, San Ge Country, Kimchi Country, Britannia, and four other countries, there was chaos and despair, with everyone looking as if their parents had died.
