Chapter 190 World Quest: Embers of Eternal Flame

The current scene is the South China Sea of ​​Daxia.

Anping Island forest.

Border, Vast Wilderness, Yuwang City
Before dawn, Jiang He returned to the bonfire in the northern part of the city.

[Mission Name: Western Town]
[Main quest completed]
[Task rewards have been issued: ① 300 game coins and experience points ② Targeted rare item * 1]
[Task rating S+: 250% bonus to game coins and experience points]
[Reminder: You have reached LV9, gaining one free attribute point and one skill point, increasing your energy by 100, and expanding your item bag by 1 cubic meter]
Jiang He invested his free attribute points into strength, and then invested his skill points into spearmanship.

[Player Level: LV9 (215/900)]
[Strength: 12+1 → 13+1]
[Spear Mastery: LV9 → LV10 (Using spears to deal 50% extra damage)]
[Energy value: 3901 → 4001]
[Game Coins: 2266]
[Item Bag: Small Sanctuary·Rock Town]
After completing the strength improvement, Jiang He received the rare item as a mission reward.

[Name: Steadfast Armor]
[Category: Armor]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect ①: Intermediate Firmness/Intermediate Toughness]
[Effect ②: Increase physical strength recovery speed by 20%]
[Effect ③: Sharp Hunting - Vision and smell improved by 20%]
[Note: Hunter's Way of Balance]
"Yes, but I can't use it."

Jiang He looked at the pitch-black armor. This thing was dispensable to him. The defensive strength was barely on par with the initial energy armor. The overall enhancement when the Sword-Scale Snail Dragon Armor was activated was absolutely superior. Although it was a hunter's specialized equipment, it could no longer keep up with his strength. Only the sense of smell could be considered a supplement, but it was not very meaningful.

"Give it to Lao Hei. New players need care."

At dawn, all of Shuguang Company's production and maintenance equipment were moved out.

The three animal companions gathered around the campfire.

"After the Bird Legion, Mountain Ghost Legion, Evil Legion, and Goat Legion, we now have the Dawn Legion."

Five hundred bionic robots stood in line to be inspected by three messengers.

Jiang He briefly introduced the situation of this derivative mission, and then said: "Each of them has a complete script setting. They don't have souls, but they have virtual personalities and can take on local command work. My idea is to let these Shuguang people serve as grassroots officers."

Wuhe raised his hand and advised, "Boss, the evil soldiers also have basic intelligence. I think at least half of the positions for grassroots officers should be reserved for the evil legion. Otherwise, the Shuguang people will be in an absolute advantage and lose the balance of power. If we blindly exclude the evil soldiers, it will only affect our development efficiency in the end."

Jiang He nodded. The decision-making level of Yuwang City only had four core members including himself, and the general direction could be decided by holding a small meeting.

"What do Lao Hei and Zhuang Ya think?"

Lao Hei was busy wiping his newly acquired black armor. Hearing this, he looked up and said, "If we want to resolve the fundamental differences between the two legions, we still have to find a way to improve the intelligence of the evil soldiers. If we pursue efficiency, then it is not a bad idea for the Dawn people to take the leadership position. If we want to take stability into consideration, the evil people really need to have their own voice."

"Zhuang Ya."

"I don't quite understand."

“Then let’s listen to Wuhe’s opinion on this matter.

Jiang He made the decision and then moved on to the next topic.

"Four days later, I plan to use the world invitation letter given by Chu Fuqiang of the Executive Bureau. The target world is likely to have a Bronze Age world war in the future, so it is worth planning ahead. The specific time of the war has not been determined. The second issue is how many troops to send."

Wuhe Gaga said, "Boss, let's go all in and take him down."

Lao Hei couldn't help but say: "From a global and long-term perspective, our biggest advantage is that we control a border, so developing the border is our top priority, and this cannot be shaken."

"Secondly, the situation in the target world is largely unknown. Once we suffer a large number of casualties and lose the Dawn People and the Evil People, the speed of border development will be cut in half. It will take time and energy to accumulate again. If we are slow at one step, we will be slow at every step. The most important thing is that the results of the development are linked to Xiaohe's passive stacking. We must not be careless."

"I think we can't take risks, or rather, we don't need to take risks at all. Moreover, this time we are just a vanguard, and we should focus on exploration, development, and obtaining intelligence."

Jiang He pondered for a moment. It was obvious that when it came to the issue of war, Wuhe was more radical while Laohei tended to be more steady. At this time, the voice of the third person was particularly crucial.

"Zhuang Ya."

"I don't understand." Zhuang Ya answered truthfully. Although she didn't quite understand, she remained sincere. As a core member, she knew that her opinions could have an impact on Da She, and she couldn't speak casually on such a serious matter.

After thinking for a while, Jiang He decided: "We will continue to focus on expanding the border. For this world mission, we will bring a hundred Dawn people with us. I can accept the annihilation of all these Dawn people." There were no objections, and the second resolution was passed.

"The third item of the meeting is that I have seized a set of Mohist mechanical arts inheritance. Wuhe and Laohei, who of you is interested?"

"Let it be given to the second brother."

"Third brother is still smarter."

"Brother, I'm really not good at civil engineering."

"How about letting Four... Never mind, let me do it."

Lao Hei stepped forward and took away the Mohist inheritance.

Zhuang Ya let out a sigh of relief. She had already had enough classes recently, and she had not yet mastered the Snake Sword Technique.

Jiang He clapped his hands: "The meeting is over, disbanded."

Wuhe flapped its wings and took off, and immediately arranged for the Dawn people to participate in the development. Lao Hei was flipping through the Mohist inheritance on the spot. The initial part was somewhat similar to playing with building blocks.

As for Zhuang Ya, she turned into a little white snake and climbed onto Jiang He's neck to sleep. Jiang He knew that this guy wanted to be lazy, but he didn't want to go to class even more, so he simply turned a blind eye.

The new legions were in place, the hunting teams expanded to two, their efficiency greatly increased, and trade with the termite colony had stabilized.

Jiang He walked into the central tower and came to the top attic, where he sat cross-legged in meditation to practice the Heart Sutra of Withering and Flourishing. Because he had the passive ability of dissolution that enhanced his digestive ability, he ate thousands of ginsengs in one breath and gained a lot of vitality.

Four days later, the seventh, eighth and ninth meridians were opened one after another, and the power of the ginseng was exhausted.

[Energy value: 4001 → 4301]
[Rare level wither: LV8 → LV17, causing 27% additional wither damage]
Jiang He invested 500 game coins, strengthened the Tearing Gem to +5, and then embedded it in the Everlasting Regret Dragon Spear.

[Gem Inlay·Rip: Causes 18% additional tear damage]
All the remaining game coins were invested in the withering trait, costing a total of 1700.

[Rare level wither: LV17 → LV34, causing 44% additional wither damage]
[Game Coins: 66]
"There are three more serious ones left."

At the top of the tower attic, Jiang He made a silent judgment. He had a hunch that when he was promoted to a top-grade martial artist, he would be able to master the transformation of energy. He was only one thin layer away from that level. Now that he had no ginseng to help, it would take about a hundred days to open up the three main meridians. The increase in his spirit value extended the upper limit of his daily practice time.

Four days later, the world mission cooldown ended.

Wuhe and Laohei rushed to the tower attic, and Jiang He stuffed one hundred Dawn people into the small temple Rock Town. These robots are not living creatures and can be carried around.

"You three get ready, I'm going to start."

"clear."

"Roger that, boss."

"it is good."

Jiang He took out the world invitation letter, and then opened the player panel. If the derivative task was a relaxing trip close to leisure, then the world task must be taken seriously.

The cutscenes are as immersive as ever.

Jiang He saw the gloomy black sky and the barren and withered wasteland. The black soil was clearly distinguished from the normal ground. Nine fortresses stood on the earth and various human gathering places were scattered around. Inexplicable roars echoed in his ears.

[In 2XXX AD, an irreversible catastrophe swept the world. The sky fell into darkness, wild beasts ravaged the earth, order collapsed, the fire of civilization was on the verge of extinguishing several times, and humans struggled to survive]
[20 years after the Cataclysm, under the leadership of the Navigator, humans discovered that the wild beasts hated silver mines, so they built the first silver fortress to resist the attacks of the wild beasts. Various human organizations emerged in the wasteland, and the fire of civilization was rekindled.]
[But the good times didn’t last long. A considerable part of the land was eroded by darkness and turned into permanent dark soil. Dark creatures revived from the dark soil and, together with the wild beasts, eroded the living space of mankind.]
[30 years after the catastrophe, the navigator went through untold hardships to kill a ruling creature among the desolate beasts, but unfortunately died. His descendants brought back the spark of hope - alien blood and desolate remains]
[By hunting wild beasts, humans have mastered the power of awakening with alien blood. With the help of the bones of wild beasts, humans have combined the technology of the old era to create a brand new biological mecha]
[Since then, humans have had room to resist erosion, and the fire of the prairie fire has been rekindled. Eight fortresses have been built one after another, and together with the original Silver City, they have formed a fortress alliance, forming the foundation of the race, and the descendants of the navigator have also been honored as nominal emperors]
[The following are tips for executive officers]
[Psychics are divided into four levels: lower, middle, upper, and ruling. The ruling level is equivalent to silver creatures, but due to the pollution of darkness and the lack of a universal body, the silver creatures in this world cannot undergo a qualitative change in their bodies and energy. They only have silver wills. As their average combat power decreases, the difficulty of promotion decreases.]

[Lower level abilities: 1-32]
[Medium power: 33-64]
[Higher power: 65-96]
[Domination ability: 97-128]
