This cry of startled yelp, made the others look over all at once.
White Level 3?
Last night, they all had obtained quite a few points, among them Cheng Youqing, who had gone on a rampage, even amassed over four thousand points, naturally opening the Point Mall.
But that was only White Level 1.
It had only been one night, and here this person had even unlocked the White Level 3 Mall?
Or was it actually a drop?
"Cheng Youqing, take this to heal yourself." Shen Hao then threw another Healing Potion to Cheng Youqing.
Among these three newcomers, it was Cheng Youqing who had sustained the most severe injuries.
His Talent was "Enhancement," although it was white, it had a wide range of applications.
Body, items, both could be enhanced.
In theory, both ranged and melee could work, but Cheng Youqing had chosen the latter, having sustained several penetrating wounds in one night—if it hadn't been for the White Level 1 Healing Potion he purchased, he might not have been able to stand here at all.
It could only be said, truly, he was among the world's top extreme athletes, this kind of madness>enjoying the rush of adrenaline, was just as relentless in combat.
"It's really White Level 3." Cheng Youqing also looked at the medicine in his hand, his face full of astonishment.
He had experienced the White Level 1 healing medicine last night and was already surprised. Now seeing this White Level 3, it felt extraordinarily precious.
"Boss" Song Cheng swallowed his saliva, curiously asking, "How many points did you get last night?"
"Not many." Shen Hao glanced at his interface, "Just a hundred and thirty thousand."
"Gasp—!"
Everyone breathed in sharply, even Dong Gong, who knew of Shen Hao's achievements was stunned momentarily.
"Controlling Blood Demon grants more points than directly killing them," Shen Hao was not stingy with this information. "However, it's hard to achieve, I just took advantage of my Talent, besides, a total of ten thousand points can unlock White Level 2 Mall, a hundred thousand unlock White Level 3."
"That's incredible! This is just too strong!" Song Cheng excitedly looked at Shen Hao.
They already knew Purple Talents were strong, but this was far beyond expectations!
Almost not on the same level.
And after the shock, joy began to bloom in their hearts.
Had it not been for the Blood Demon, jealousy might have been the dominant emotion, but in a battlefield that endangers the entire humanity, they could only wish their team leader to grow stronger!
"Also, controlling Blood Demon increases the chances of rewards dropping," Shen Hao, since he started on this information, decided to continue, "My rate is about one in eight, while your drop rate for killing enemies is about one in fifteen, nearly half as much, furthermore, the ratio of Ability Balls to items is roughly one to two, and most items are White Level 1, only a few stronger Blood Demons can drop White Level 2, Cheng Youqing has experienced this."
The crowd turned to look at Cheng Youqing.
"Indeed, my main injuries were from a clearly stronger Blood Demon," Cheng Youqing nodded and with a flip of his hand, a sapphire blue crystal the size of a fingertip appeared in his hand, "Spirit Crystal, White Level 2, can enhance spiritual power, but I don't know how to use it."
"Just wear it close to your body." Shen Hao continued saying, "Speaking of abilities, abilities also have levels, we can each only choose three for now, but an important aspect— the same ability can be stacked to upgrade."
"Stacked upgrade?" This information energized everyone.
Especially Yang Jun and his two companions.
They had previously received abilities from Shen Hao's hands, thinking them quite precious, yet later determined that the drop rate wasn't low, which was a bit disappointing.
Perhaps better abilities weren't hard to acquire, wasting an ability slot.
But now, it seemed there was still the possibility of upgrading?
"If you get a duplicate Ability Ball, it will display this information." Shen Hao directly threw a white Ability Ball to Yang Jun, "This is another 'Vulnerability Strike,' try it and you'll see."
"It really works!" Yang Jun, upon receiving it, immediately revealed a joyful expression, saw Shen Hao nod, and absorbed it directly.
The Ability Ball turned into a point of light and merged into his body.
A moment later, with joy, he said, "It's really absorbed, I can feel the ability becoming somewhat stronger."
Not just him, others who had fought with Blood Demons had also received some Ability Balls, but none dared to use them since they could only have three ability slots, and the balls they received were all White Level 1.
Yet if they could be upgraded, that was undoubtedly good news!
Only by facing battle could one understand the importance of strength.
No Chosen One isn't eager to become more powerful!
"If that's the case, the trade channel between Chosen Ones becomes very important," Dong Gong pondered, opening his mouth, "After all, the drop of Ability Balls is random, the chances of it dropping an ability one needs wouldn't likely be high."
"Exactly." Shen Hao nodded lightly, "And it's not just this aspect, if you want to buy more advanced items to enhance your strength more efficiently, it's undoubtedly a better choice to pool points onto one person, but that requires Chosen Ones to trust each other... Digging deeper, this rule itself is promoting stronger cooperation among Chosen Ones."
Currently, only Shen Hao knew the true nature of the Civilization Trial, so he could quite understand these rules.
After all, the entity undergoing the Trials is civilization, not individual Chosen Ones.
Even if as powerful as him, he also accumulated a lot of loot he couldn't use himself; giving them to others could also bring some points back via shared rules.
Yes, not just equipment, whenever others used the Ability Balls from him in combat, he would gain some points.
Last night, he received 54 points from Yang Jun.
Though it was little, they added up to more.
If two people traded, perhaps they could both benefit.
In fact, Shen Hao was already guessing whether the principle of Civilization Trial's allocation rules might be "causality".
Allocating the death of the Blood Demon, the "effect," to each participant, the "cause".
Currently, it seemed likely.
However, this was just a speculation, and Shen Hao hadn't revealed it; he turned to Dong Gong and instructed, "Dong Gong, find some time to write up a trade platform proposal for Chosen Ones and our internal reward and punishment plan for me to see."
At these words, everyone realized something and couldn't hide their joy.
Song Cheng's face even turned red, he clenched his fists, excited almost to the point of shouting out loud how awesome the boss was.
