What did you do with the dice?

Rusalka was very excited: (Finally it’s my turn to cosplay Visas and save the fish in the sea!)

Sunny Tower: (Don't get too excited. The sea is different from the land after all.)

Rusalka named this joint operation "Operation Visas" on his own.

But even though it was going to be a tough battle, he only brought Phoenix with him, leaving Aerie and Hydra in Silver City to assist with the reconstruction work.

Originally, he wanted to bring along everyone he didn't bring last time since they were going to the sea for team building, but Phoenix didn't want to. She kept hiding in the shadows behind him and then used her head to butt Rusalka's back.

There was no other way. Rusalka knew that Phoenix didn't want to be with Hydra and Aerie, so she made up an excuse to let these lawful and good people stay and help with the disaster.

Rusalka: (So I still don’t understand why Phoenix and you can get along so well. Shouldn’t your relationship be even worse?)

Sanitta was puzzled by Rusalka's inexplicable thoughts: (Phenix and I don't have any conflicts, why is our relationship so bad?)

Rusalka: (You like to develop the military industry and magic technology, and you are an industrialist (Shia); Phoenix likes to drive me and Hydra to work, and you are a Sunni (Tamerist). You two should be incompatible.)

Sanita: (You're willing to go to this extent to make fun of yourself, Hajixiao!)

Rusalka: (Oh, other self-deprecating ways are weak. I’m only truly self-deprecating when I directly call myself a black person.)

In the end, Rusalka still failed to fulfill her dream of riding a dragon, because no matter how unwilling Onyxia was, objectively speaking, she did not fly as fast as the guide. Everyone was racing against time, so how could they have time to let the two of them go slowly?

Sanita also moved the unused golden dragon on the top of the Mage Tower into the Guided Explosion Tower, saying that it was scratched in the war and he would make a new one for her when the time comes. Onyxia believed it. After all, no matter what, the old one was already there, so his credibility in this regard was still there.

This man didn't get to ride Jackie Chan, but Jackie Chan did get to ride on a big plane for the first time.

Seeing Onyxia lying by the window eating snacks and looking at the scenery in a very natural way, she seemed to be more adaptable than those mages who had played the game so many times. Rusalka couldn't help but imagine: If large airplanes become popular in the future, after these dragons get used to riding them, will they really think flying is too troublesome and then turn into flightless baby dragons?

It takes several days for the Guided Explosion to fly to the sea. During this time, Rusalka automatically enters sleep mode, eating and sleeping, and recovering the number of life dice through repeated long rests.

After entering the long rest for the first time, Rusalka saw the reminder from leveling up and completing the blessing task.

[The prerequisite for the blessing of the Hell Lord (End) is to meet the following conditions: While holding this blessing, defeat any Hell Lord personally to gain their Lordship status and Demon Rank, replacing them and becoming the new Demon Lord.]

[Blessing Effect: 1. From now on, you can fully absorb the Creation Points of units you kill and use them to strengthen yourself.]

In fact, Rusalka and Sanitta have already thought of it. Their experience points may not be issued by the system at all, but the "vitality" that Maggie mentioned. The so-called "creation points" may be just another name for vitality.

In this way, what the system actually provides them is the ability to manipulate with "creation points", and creation points themselves may be the game chips of the gods. Then everything makes sense. The so-called upgrade is to absorb the power of the gods and use it for one's own benefit, step by step on the ladder to becoming a god.

[2. When performing a demon summoning ritual, the required materials can be replaced with Creation Points.]

[3. When leading a demon army into battle, you can use the talents and passive abilities of your demon units to meet the needs of the environment.]

[4. Once per long rest, you can consume and lock your ring slots, unconditionally enslaving demons with a challenge level 10 or higher below yours, up to a maximum of "total number of locked ring slots x 100". You cannot restore locked ring slots by any means until the enslavement status is canceled or the demon dies.]

[Special Tip: You have collected all 12 blessings. You only need the blessing of the "Goddess of Joy" to complete the conditions for "Special Victory."]

Rusalka counted on her fingers and found that if Phoenix's share was included, there were indeed twelve kinds.

As for the ring position, it is now very cost-effective for Rusalka.

It could be used to activate [Pearl Tear Time] and some first-level small spells before, but since the enemy's mobility has increased and after the oath was changed, it is now found that Pearl Tear Time is useless for sneak attacks. These abilities that use the ring position conflict with the awakening aura.

Now it has wings and is more maneuverable, so some early powerful builds have become obsolete as the environment becomes more heated.

Is this numerical inflation? The world really is a huge second tour - Rusalka.

Next, comes the most important tip.

【You have reached level 19. 】

Just one step away from becoming a legend.

Chapter 500 One step away

In fact, in the DND tabletop game, the difference between a level 20 legend and a level 19 non-legend is not that big.

It just means that most professions will actually get a relatively strong ability at level 20.

But if you really insist on saying that a level 20 player can kill a level 19 player, that's pure bragging. After all, in a world where fate is determined by dice, if the dice don't roll well, you'll still lose.

Moreover, all games with numerical values ​​are the same. There are always overpowered professions that fight against strong ones across levels. For example, at low levels, when everyone is losing hit dice with normal attacks, there is a wizard profession with higher armor than a heavy armored warrior. He has no ring position and can directly draw his sword to hit you on the forehead. If he cultivates both intelligence and agility in the early stage, your melee profession may not be able to beat him. How can you play this game?

When everyone reaches a high level, the armor advantage is not obvious. Hey, my Swordsman is still a serious noble 9th-ring spellcasting profession. How can the mage be weak in the later stage?

Armor has a huge advantage in the early stages, while spell mechanics excel in the later stages.

Taken together, it means "Don't be impatient, wait until I reach the mid-term stage, don't bully the young and poor; don't be impatient, wait until I reach the late stage, don't bully the middle-aged and poor; don't be impatient, wait until I reach the legendary stage, don't bully the old and poor; damn designers, open your dog eyes and look at this class, why don't we Ranger players have any reinforcements? You'll go to the coffin for me!"

Steamed bun, are you not convinced?

But games are games after all. In the traditional DND game worldview, "a legion unit composed of thousands of goblins" is not necessarily more threatening than "10 goblins scattered as individual units" - because the latter can attack 10 times in a round, and the individual damage overflow cannot be transferred, so no matter how high your attack is, one goblin will die.

The former can only move three times in one round at most, but you can kill them all with one 999 hit.

Although it sounds weird, this is the fact. When they are together, they are a pile of shit, and when they are apart, they are stars in the sky.

The reality is definitely very different. In the serious world view of the original novel, the legend is the one who can beat up ordinary extraordinary people.

So after the time travel became a reality, Rusalka was still looking forward to the day when he could reach level 20 - provided that he was lucky enough to accumulate enough experience points to reach the last level before returning home.

Well, let’s first take a look at how much benefit we can get from the 19th level upgrade, which is only one step away from legend.

First of all, there is the choice of profession. Previously, it was a combination of a 10th-level Paladin and an 8th-level Warlock. Considering that every 4-level profession has an additional specialty, the best level at level 20 is 12+8, and at this level, you can only upgrade to a Paladin.

【HP: 305】

His health has officially exceeded 300 points. In the game, he can withstand several super bosses with pure 9th-ring spell damage.

[Gain the Paladin Class Ability: Mastery of Holy Slash]

[Improved Holy Slash: Starting at 11th level, the power of justice within you makes your melee weapon strikes carry divine power. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon, the creature will take an additional 1d8 points of radiant damage.]

When he was first born, the rulebook was his father. What was written in the rulebook was the Bible, which must be followed word for word, and could not be questioned. Ring spells were instant, long rests fully restored, and skill effects were written like this. If you are unhappy, you can tell him when you are reincarnated, and don't be reborn in the permanent plane to fight Rushaka in your next life.

Now the rule book is his grandson. The professional abilities written in it are only this strong. You can curse as much as you want.

Oh, a medium cup!

The 5E rule book is really a piece of trash, not even a hair away from my specialized ability "Way of Faith". Hurry up and bring me my 3R rules of Heaven and Earth Destruction!

[You gain 5 free enhancement points and 20 limited enhancement points.]

"Then please be fair, system. With my current circular structure, what else can be strengthened?"

Rusalka felt that there was really nothing else to order, so she said: "Why don't you add these 20 points to my enemy, care for my small cup opponent, and dedicate my love. How can I say "Water Drop Fund"? "

【Are you sure? Yes/No.】

Oh my god! No no no!

【Please choose your additional content. 】

Wow, that scared me. How can your system give points to the opponent? I can't figure this out. Which website did you get this system from? Are you the second moderator?

"Then give these 20 points to Sanita."

[Players cannot send points to each other.]

"Sani Tieta is my father's enemy. He always wants to make my father +1. I have no kinship with him!"

The system ignored him. Obviously, this kind of trick was useless. It would be a miracle if it worked.

"Then add it to Phoenix. Can Phoenix add some?"

The system responded with silence. It seemed that Phoenix could no longer receive additional points.

Alas, such a good cat is only worth ten points in the eyes of the system, and no additional rewards are allowed.

It can be seen from this that all varieties of Hakimi on the market are premium commodities.

"Then can I use 10 points to purchase the ownership of the black cat Hydra? That way, I'll give you 10% of the profit and I'll pay 11 points. How about that?"

The system ignored him.

"Alright, alright, let's settle for the next best thing. We're supposed to bargain when we do business. So, I don't want all of Hydra. I'll add 9 more points, making it 20. Can you swap the shield and sword bindings in her hands with mine? Aren't you from the second moderator's system? Go ahead, use your innate abilities and turn her hair green for me!"

Fortunately, the system only uses silence to express rejection, otherwise, if it were Sanita, who is good at complaining, he would have started to curse Hydra.

Alas, this doesn't work and that doesn't work. It turns out that this system is still from the useless system of the old yellow octogenarian.

Rusalka thought about it and decided to spend 5 enhancement points to buy half of the experience points first, paving the way for the promotion to level 20, and then use the remaining 20 points to buy a cheating ability that impressed him.

[Special Passive Ability: Young and Unemployed (20 points)]

[Effect: When you perform an ability that includes a random effect, you can reselect the random result 10 times, or directly specify one of the known effects.]

[Cooling time: 30 days and 30 long rests.]

I felt that this ability was not very good at the time. It didn't make much sense to exchange 20 points for a one-time destiny-changing ability (I felt that a group could not last 30 days in the group).

And to be honest, this ability to determine the nature of things is totally unattractive to a guy like Rusalka who likes to push his luck to 100. He still likes the feeling of opening a blind box and getting the best reward.

Guaranteed wins and guaranteed minimums, like a buyout system, would defeat the purpose of the lottery.

What's more, it costs 20 points. It is also a one-time ability. The ability of Three Degrees of Sunset, which is so suitable for construction, only costs 30 points. Who would buy it when the card is opened?

But things are different now. The probability of getting something good in the Final Roulette is like betting that the author of the Yellow Porcupine Reading Software is not a eunuch, or betting that the author of the Red End Reading Software is not a sleazy writer. It will repeatedly give the winners a feeling of "reviewing the old and learning the new, and learning a new lesson". The entries that come out are really hard for him to accept.

Especially the last time in the Elf Forest, a group fight was worse than a one-on-one fight. This was too stupid. You have to restrict the enemy while also restricting your teammates.

If the elf wasn't so amazing, he wouldn't know how to deal with his kind-hearted teammate.

Rusalka herself couldn't tell whether this was reducing or increasing the difficulty of the battle.

What's more, he brought Phoenix with him this time. This mighty cat hardly listens to his orders during a fight. Now he has the incredible "substitute" ability of Shadow Warrior. If she wants to send a shadow to help, how can he refuse?

Are you going to kill her too? What kind of magic bullet shooter is that? He reserves the last bullet for the one he loves the most, right?

And the most important thing is that the prize pool of divine power is still not transparent, which aroused his curiosity.

So, instead of taking a big bite after the prize is announced, it is better to spend the points here, which you don’t know what to do with, and take a small bite first.

I want to see how much history your jackpot of divine power can contain. If you can resurrect all the people with the "Pearl Tears" entry in my family tree, I will consider you awesome.

[Ability acquired.]

Also, Rusalka had never understood why this "cheating ability" was called "Young and Strong, Not Working Hard." Was it because it implied a reluctance to work diligently, preferring to take shortcuts? But how could there be any sincerity in the lottery itself?

The system seemed to have read his doubts and popped up a note about the ability.

[Note: If you are young and don’t work hard, take a screenshot to select your ability]

Now the confusion is completely solved.

Taking screenshots to select abilities and cheating is so despicable!

But if you choose someone like Lan Niang, you still have to shake it again.

Akaashi could accept it because the history of the novels he wrote on Earth in the book club was about to overflow the screen. Fortunately, the group members consumed it quickly, otherwise he, the group owner, would be in trouble.

Just as Rusalka was exiting the long rest space, he suddenly found Sanita sitting in front of the main console of the bridge. He was sitting there with his back to her, but his whole body exuded an inexplicable aura that made him feel a little bit excited to fight.

It’s strange. The chair you’re sitting on doesn’t seem to be a white plastic chair with a backrest.

But this was not his illusion, because even the mages around him were sitting there calmly, but for some reason, the muscles all over their bodies and the magic particles in the magic circuits in their bodies were shaking automatically and uncontrollably.

Even Phoenix's fur stood up, with the white hair on its tail standing on end. Onyxia opened her eyes and stared at the Sunny Tower with her erect and condensed pupils.

Fear comes from the biological instinct level. It is like a person who is naturally afraid of dangerous things and will actively avoid them even if he has never been injured.

The Sani Iron Tower next to him is the source of fear. The sense of oppression he brings from the upper biological level permeates the hearts of every creature here.

Rusalka: (Brother, you're probably wearing the Stone Mask, aren't you? I'm curious what incredible power you've acquired with these five points. Could it be the [Dragon Power], which is even higher than the [Dragon Power]?)

Sanita: (No, I bought experience points.)

Rusalka: (You didn't buy any abilities, so why does it feel different?)

Sanita: (Because I also bought experience points when I was level 18, the experience points for this upgrade overflowed by half. Buying experience points again allowed me to reach level 20, completely entering the legendary stage.)

The legends in the Faerun worldview are very different from the legends in this world. Even if a 100-point Sanita and Garces fight, if both sides have the same intelligence, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

However, with the amount of "creation points (experience points)" he had collected, his current rank should be between traditional creatures and gods. It was understandable that he could suppress non-legendary creatures.

In comparison, Phoenix's existence is very strange. Logically speaking, her current strength must have reached the legendary level. If she fights against Sanita alone, taking into account the professional restraint, it is hard to say who will win.

But from the perspective of species, she is still a "powerful film" and does not give people the feeling of discontinuous evolution at all.

This is probably because when the gods of this world created living things, they felt that advancement was too difficult, so they didn't seriously study the details of the evolutionary chain.

Now that his good brother had confessed everything, Rusalka finally understood: Oh, no wonder he was still holding back his strength in such an important battle as the Silver City Defense War. Not only was he unwilling to go to the battlefield himself, he was even willing to use only one Nine-Ring Time Stop on himself. As a result, he was counterattacked by the opponent in the end. After looking at the records in the private chat channel, he realized that he was beaten back by about twice the number of people.

It turned out that the good thing was not strengthened when it was upgraded from level 17 to level 18, so I was not very reassured and decided to make myself stronger first to test the water temperature and protect his development.
