Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 92 Adventure Traits: Black, White, and Gray

The two sides faced each other across a narrow cliff, the atmosphere heavy and tense.

Everyone is waiting.

The half-dragons are waiting for dawn and reinforcements, while the humans are waiting for the civilians to evacuate.

Anser stared at the densely packed kobolds, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit. He longed to throw a few more fireballs; perhaps he could level up tonight.

'Never mind, there will be plenty of opportunities.'

He didn't know how many half-dragons were lurking in the darkness. Perhaps they were also waiting for him to make a move. Once his magic power was depleted, the half-dragons would swarm him.

Never underestimate the cunning of dragons.

He stepped back a few paces, hiding himself behind the thick wall, and focused his mind.

Before he even checked the character card, he noticed that the fifth symbol on the silver die had lit up.

'Just as I suspected, as long as you're not just lying at home leveling up, you get a new trait every level.'

The larger the event, the greater its impact, and the faster the symbol lights up.

"Be alert. I'm going to meditate for a bit. Call me if you need anything." He gently patted Blatt, then sat down against the wall.

“Okay.” Blatt stood beside him, shield in hand, his expression wary.

Giant Tail saw this and followed suit, standing on the other side.

Anser glanced at him, pushed away the ahoge on his shoulder, closed his eyes, but did not immediately summon the twenty-sided dice.

He was deeply moved today. The situation was chaotic. He had been wandering ever since he transmigrated here. He couldn't fight bravely against powerful enemies because he was hesitant and lacked reliable support. An adventure team was too weak.

For example, on the other side, no matter how weak the kobolds are, their numbers are terrifying. One fireball can kill a hundred or two hundred, eight fireballs can kill a thousand or two, and then... they will be brutally beaten by the half-dragons.

The remaining few thousand kobolds were still able to flatten Yacheng.

'It's time to build our own power!'

Whether it's fighting against alien races, the Nashwar family, or the Shadow Thieves Guild, having a powerful force is always better than going it alone.

There's no need to feel guilty for your subordinates being implicated, nor should you give up on your work because of a minor setback. You chose this path yourself, and as long as your efforts are rewarded and you don't let their loyalty go to waste, that's enough.

There's no such thing as a risk-free life.

He had considered this before, but at that time he was just an ordinary professional, relying entirely on his reputation to attract people. He had some achievements, but his professional level was really not impressive.

Now he has become an elite professional, and he has some prestige. The time is ripe for him to start his own business!
'What kind of organization should we create? A family-style organization, an armed group, or even a kingdom-like political system? Never mind, I'll discuss it with Blatt later.'

Currently, Blatt is the weakest member of the team, but he happens to be the smartest. Finn and the Giant Tail are completely unreliable.

'If I had the chance, I could also build a floating city, a floating city that doesn't rely on the magic network! I just don't know if the Goddess of Magic would be willing.'

Once the thought process was clear, Anser's mood immediately improved considerably.

He cheerfully summoned the twenty-sided dice, lightly tapped them, and fragments of memories surfaced in his mind: naval battles, disasters, dinosaurs, Abel...

A moment later, the symbol transformed into three particles of light orbiting each other, one gray, one black, and one white, chasing and dancing.

Ding--

Please choose one of the following three adventure traits: I Am a True Dragon, Evil Power, and Echoes of Goodness.

"I Am Also a True Dragon": Neutral choice.

How can I not be a true dragon! By tracing my bloodline, I can obtain the true dragon power corresponding to the source of dragon magic, enhance my own attributes, and gain some spell-like abilities and supernatural powers.

Different profession levels correspond to different age stages of the True Dragon. The True Dragon power obtained at each stage is different, and the highest attribute cannot exceed that of the Source True Dragon.

"Evil Power": The Evil Choice.

Every killing you commit is an irreversible corruption ritual. The souls of the creatures that die at your hands will be extracted by the ritual and refined into "evil essence" to enhance your own attributes.

The stronger the dead creature, the better the evil essence. Different levels of evil essence have different attribute caps, with a maximum of 25.

"Echoes of Beauty": The Choice of Kindness.

By practicing virtues such as kindness, protection, fairness, justice, and sacrifice, you gain positive feedback such as reputation, respect, and admiration, accumulating valuable "Sacred Grace Power" to enhance your attributes. The higher the attribute, the more Sacred Grace Power is required, with an attribute cap of 25.

'A trait that enhances attributes! Choose one of three?' Anser felt his heart pounding, and his facial expressions gradually became uncontrollable.

Someone once ranked the existing intelligent races in Faerûn, but this was not accepted by humans because humans rated them as "ordinary"!
Humanity's biggest weakness, besides lifespan, is its attributes. Theoretically, the highest attribute can not exceed 16, and reaching 16 in any one attribute makes one a top genius.

Some powerful races will naturally increase their attributes to 20 or even 25 as they grow older, but for humans to exceed 20, they have to break the biological limit, which is extremely difficult.

too difficult!
However, attributes are extremely important, arguably the core of a professional's skill set. After all, with excellent attributes, you can choose any profession, and you can gradually learn most specializations and skills.

Which one should I choose?

If we compare the total increase in attribute values, "Evil Power" and "Good Echo" are definitely stronger, as both have the potential to increase all attributes to 25 points, although the process will certainly be very difficult.

Even the strongest ancient golden dragon has an average attribute of less than 23 points, and you can only obtain a portion of it.

Fortunately, the Ancient Golden Dragon's highest attribute can reach 30, with an even higher upper limit.

'One good, one evil, one neutral—these will directly determine our future allegiance and behavior,' Anser sighed inwardly.

Without much hesitation, he decisively chose "I am also a true dragon!"
The power of the true dragon originates from the primordial power, the very source of the world, and is therefore relatively safe.

The other two are truly impossible to choose from. Extracting souls is the height of evil; compared to that, even murder and slave trading seem relatively benign. Once you do such a thing, you'll be forced to live in hiding, or spend your time in the Nine Hells and the Abyss.

"Good Echo" is too saintly; he's forced to do good deeds every day, and he just can't stand it.

Once selected, the three light particles on the die dissipate and transform into a mini dragon.

Ding--

[You have acquired the Adventure Trait: I Am a True Dragon]

"I am also a true dragon": The human form is just an appearance; the power of the true dragon flows within you, and you are an extraordinary true dragon.

As your profession level increases, your physical attributes will receive additional growth, and you can freely adjust your growth direction. You will also master some spell-like abilities and supernatural powers.

Elite professionals correspond to fledgling dragons, advanced professionals to young dragons, top professionals to adult dragons, and legendary professionals to ancient dragons.

Current stage: Hatchling.

Golden Dragon Power: 1, Silver Dragon Power: 1, Maximum attribute cap 20.

'what? '

The dice flashed a few times, revealing an additional Silver Dragon Power.

Anser suddenly realized that his true dragon power came from the gold dragon and the silver dragon, with the gold dragon having slightly more power.

The so-called "growth direction" refers to the emphasis on certain attributes. The power of the true dragon is equivalent to attribute points, which are available at each level in varying quantities and can be freely allocated, but the highest attribute cannot exceed 20.

'I'll definitely max out my Charisma first, then... Constitution.'

[Charm +1, Constitution +1, Confirm?]

"determine."

A sharp pain struck, and Anser felt every part of his body trembling, as if it were about to fall apart. Thick blood surged, sometimes scalding hot, sometimes icy cold, and waves of heat and white steam filled his body.

At one point, he felt an itch in his throat and couldn't help but move his neck, open his mouth and exhale. His voice was deep and the last syllable was like thunder, no different from a dragon's roar.

But he had no time to think about these things; countless memories and insights were churning in his mind, causing his head to throb with pain.

Those around him were astonished. Anser had seemed to be meditating, but suddenly his body began to glow, his body twisted, and his magic surged endlessly. One second there was a wave of heat, and the next second there was frost covering him.

Then he stretched out his neck, and his head transformed into a dragon's head. The dragon scales were a pale color, silver with a hint of gold. When he opened his mouth, he let out a dragon roar that echoed across the wilderness.

Upon hearing this, the half-dragon outside the city shuddered violently, turned around and ran away, hesitating for even a second because of his distrust of his body's instincts.

After an unknown amount of time, Anser quietly opened his eyes, his vertical pupils shining brightly, cold and majestic.

He raised his hand to touch his head, understood, shook his head slightly, the dragon head disappeared, and his body returned to human form.
