"Holy shit!"
Seeing the second stage effect unlocked after Ning Xi's talent advancement, Lin Mo couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath, 'Ninety percent damage reduction? If I had this effect on me, wouldn't I be able to tank even the A rank skill damage of the level 50 tier 5 BOSS, the Dark Ruler, head on? Damn! That's insane!'
'Ten times damage boost plus ninety percent damage reduction! You can deal damage and tank at the same time! Tsk! This talent… is truly outrageous!'
For a brief moment, Lin Mo felt that his own Soul Flame talent was simply weak as hell in comparison.
Of course, both were SSS rank talents, each with their own strengths.
Lin Mo's Soul Flame belonged to the auxiliary type.
While Ning Xi's Nine Five Supreme was an offensive type talent, so it looked even more explosive.
If Lin Mo had to choose between the two, he would still choose Soul Flame.
For no other reason.
'Just for a full set of gold gear, all SSS rank skills, and an ancestral grade pet. Way more badass.'
When Lin Mo saw that the advancement requirement for the third stage of Ning Xi's talent was 5000 gold coins, he nearly fainted on the spot.
'My god, forty five million yuan just to upgrade a talent?'
'Looks like SSS rank talents really aren't something ordinary people can afford to play with.'
Lin Mo glanced at Ning Xi and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'She really is a little gold devouring beast.'
Even though he said that, Lin Mo felt not the slightest bit of reluctance spending so much money on Ning Xi. On the contrary, he thoroughly enjoyed this kind of nurturing process.
Perhaps it was because in his previous life, the deterrence and status of this number one female empress of the Dragon Nation national server were simply too overwhelming in Lin Mo's heart.
In this life, being able to personally train the empress who had been completely out of reach for him in his previous life, and have her serve his own purposes, no matter how great the cost, Lin Mo was willing to pay it.
However, with Lin Mo's current capabilities, he could only help Ning Xi maintain her talent at the second stage for now.
'It's a pity that all the gold equipment and SSS rank skills evolved from my talent are bound. Otherwise, paired with Ning Xi's Nine Five Supreme talent, it would be simply invincible.'
Lin Mo then took out the A rank mage skill book from the dungeon quest rewards, [Shadow Storm], and handed it to Ning Xi, "Learn this skill."
When Ning Xi saw the skill book, she finally understood. So that was why Lin Mo had refused to sell this skill book to Dragon Soul Aoshi for a million earlier. He had kept it for her.
Ning Xi hurriedly refused, "No, no! Brother Lin Mo, you've already given me enough! I can't take this too! You should sell it!"
Lin Mo used his index finger to tap Ning Xi on the forehead again, "Say that again and believe it or not, I'll sell you?"
"If you want to repay me, then properly raise your strength and help me conquer the world in Divine Oracle in the future."
"When the time comes, I'll be number one, and you'll be number two."
Ning Xi: "Mm…"
This A rank Shadow Storm was a rare area of effect skill. At a designated location, it summons a magic storm with a diameter of 100 yards for three seconds. During this time, every second it deals damage equal to 50% of magic attack power once to all enemies within the storm's range. Cooldown time: 45 seconds
Anyone who has played games knows that in general, AOE skills have wide attack ranges and can hit multiple targets at the same time, so their damage ratios are lower than single target skills of the same quality, and their cooldowns are longer.
'Normally, an A rank single target skill has a damage coefficient of around 300%, while this Shadow Storm only has a total of 150% across three ticks of damage.'
'But if it's paired with Ning Xi's talent and the ten times damage amplification effect, each tick can reach 500%, for a total damage coefficient of 1500%.'
'That's equivalent to the damage ratio of two rounds of my SSS rank skills. And it's AOE damage too! Damn! That's insane!'
Lin Mo couldn't help but marvel.
'Looks like I need to work harder to improve myself as well, otherwise I might not be able to keep her in check later on.'
Ning Xi learned the skill.
In her heart, she silently resolved, "Brother Lin Mo, I definitely won't let down how good you've been to me."
Lin Mo brought Ning Xi along to the class change hall of Blazing Ember City and once again saw the dignified and graceful, hot bodied, beautiful and sexy archer mentor, Selina.
From Selina, he received the class change quest—
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Class Advancement] (Archer exclusive second advancement quest)
— Difficulty index: 500
— Quest description: To officially advance from an apprentice archer into a true professional archer, you must complete Mentor Selina's second round of trials. Please kill at least 100 monsters of level 30 or above.
— Quest progress: 0/100
— Quest rewards: Become a second advancement archer, archer class ultimate skill +1, skill slot +1, free eligibility to receive one normal grade pet egg +1, Selina favorability +1
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
In the world of Divine Oracle, once players reach level 30 and complete their second advancement, they can learn their class ultimate skill.
Commonly known as the big move.
They can also unlock the pet system.
And they can meet the requirements for the second round of the level rushing leaderboard event and obtain ranking rewards.
But for more than 99.99% of ordinary players, the only thing worth looking forward to was the class ultimate skill.
Because aside from that, not only could they not get the level rushing event rewards, they could barely even afford to support themselves, let alone raise a pet.
And normal grade pets weren't worth investing a lot of effort into cultivating anyway.
But for Lin Mo, this would be a breakthrough point for a massive leap forward.
With his level, once he completed the class advancement, he could directly take first place in the level rushing event and receive the reward of three hundred thousand in cash and three lottery chances.
And through the SSS rank talent Soul Flame, he could instantly evolve the class ultimate skill, which initially was only E rank, into SSS rank. He could also evolve the top tier ancestral grade divine pet that no player in the world had ever possessed in his previous life.
'What would an SSS rank class ultimate skill and an ancestral grade pet be like?', Lin Mo was already starting to look forward to it.
Everything was ready.
Just as Lin Mo was preparing to leave the city to carry out the quest and incidentally level up Ning Xi, who had been killed back to level zero, suddenly, a friend request notification popped up—
[Ding. Player Dali Creates Miracles has applied to add you as a friend!]
Lin Mo had almost forgotten.
Seeing this ID reminded him of Niu Dali, the man who had lent money at ridiculous rates to Ning Xi's father, Ning Zhigang.
Lin Mo had agreed to help Niu Dali solve a problem in Divine Oracle, and in return he would write off Ning Zhigang's five hundred thousand debt entirely.
At this moment, seeing Lin Mo slightly distracted, Ning Xi said, "Brother Lin Mo, don't bother with him. I can handle this matter myself."
Clearly, Ning Xi didn't want to trouble Lin Mo with everything, and she felt extremely ashamed.
But she didn't know that to Lin Mo, how could this be trouble?
Niu Dali said that as long as Lin Mo helped him with this matter, not only would he wipe the debt clean, he was also willing to pay Lin Mo a commission of five hundred thousand.
He could help Ning Xi resolve her problem and sell her a favor, and make money at the same time.
Why wouldn't he take such a deal?
So Lin Mo softly said, "I promised your mom that I would protect you properly."
Ning Xi's eyes glistened.
Lin Mo accepted Niu Dali's friend request.
Ding!
Niu Dali immediately sent a message.
[Dali Creates Miracles (Level 21 Knight). "Holy shit! Bro, you really are the number one on the Heavenly Rankings, Rulebound!"]
["Big boss, I've sent you the location. Hurry up and come help me kill a BOSS! [Lv28 Miracle Forest] (location)"]
Originally, Lin Mo had been wondering what kind of trouble could possibly be worth Niu Dali paying a million to have Lin Mo help him solve it.
But after seeing the message he sent, Lin Mo was stunned.
"Kill a BOSS?"
"This counts as trouble?"
"There's actually something this good?"
