Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 629: Qinong's Attributes, Selectable Relics.

Cao Xing looked at Qinong and then asked, "Mr. Qinong, I heard from that commander that your wife is still in the hands of the Watchers?"

The old man nodded and replied, "I think you've probably guessed what happened."

"My wife is afflicted with the Watchers' Blood Wither Curse, and they invited me to join the Watchers on the condition that the curse be removed."

"I agreed...and then, a series of things happened..."

Cao Xing frowned slightly, "Then what about your wife now...?"

Qinong knew what he wanted to ask, so he replied, "She's doing well."

"They placed my wife at Watchers headquarters, as did some other Watchers' families."

Upon hearing this, a look of worry appeared on Cao Xing's face: "This time, we've completely broken ties with the Watchers."

“I killed so many commanders of the Blood Legion and still managed to save you.”

"What if they get enraged and attack your wife directly?"

Qinong fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed, clearly also somewhat worried about this issue.

Cao Xing continued, "If the situation becomes urgent, I can call all the Legends back. You happen to know the location of the Watchers' headquarters, so we can rush over there, wipe them all out, and then rescue your wife."

Qinong was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This time, the Blood Legion suffered heavy losses, and your strength has also been exposed."

"The leader of the Watchers knows I'll tell you the location of headquarters, so he must have already moved headquarters there."

Upon hearing this, a look of regret appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Qinong's words do make sense.

The Watchers leaders are not fools; if they can think of something, they certainly can too.

Chinon continued, "Moreover, according to the Watchers' rules and the character of their leader, it's highly unlikely that my wife will be implicated."

Cao Xing thought for a moment and decided not to pursue the matter further.

He then shifted the topic to the Watchers' leader.

"What do you know about the leader of the Watchers?"

Qinong organized his thoughts and replied, "The leader of the Watchers is named 'Lo'."

"No one knows his past, nor where he came from; all that is known is that he inherited an ancient tradition."

"This person... is somewhat elusive and difficult to define simply as good or evil."

"He was not a purely evil person; in some ways, he was more committed to redemption and his promise than anyone else."

"At least during the time I was with the Watchers, he did keep his promises, and you could even say he never went against his principles."

"However... his style of doing things is extremely extreme, and his beliefs are so firm that they are almost cold-blooded."

"At the same time, he is also a very contradictory person."

After a pause, Chinon continued, "You should know his philosophy: that everything the Watchers do is for the future of humanity."

"His ultimate goal is to overthrow the old order of the entire continent and liberate all mankind, and no one can shake that goal."

“In this process, he will try his best to avoid harming civilians and ordinary people, and at times, he will even show a kind of merciful restraint.”

"But if he encounters some kind of obstacle, he becomes ruthless."

"If sacrificing some people can save more people, he would not hesitate to choose to sacrifice himself."

"In fact, the entire Watchmen organization, including himself, is willing to pay the price in order to achieve his goal."

Cao Xing pondered to himself, "An extreme idealist?"

"They are indeed a bit difficult to deal with..."

His brow furrowed slightly, his mind churning with thoughts.

"It would be better if we only had ideas but no power."

"But unfortunately, he also possesses demigod-level power, a powerful force, and a ruthless, fearsome blood legion."

"If he can really succeed, that would indeed be a good thing."

"Even I am willing to support him."

"But the problem is that he never seemed to consider the consequences of failure, nor did he ever really care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people."

Since the arrival of the Blood Legion, countless towns across the territories of several kingdoms have been razed to the ground, lives have been lost, and rivers of blood have flowed.

This just proves what King Velen said: 'The number of civilians who died under the corrupt system of the kingdom for thousands of years is nothing compared to the few civilians who died tragically during the Bloody Rebellion.'

Of course, Cao Xing did not condone the actions of these corrupt nobles; these guys deserved to die too.

The problem is that the Watchers' leader's approach was wrong.

"He believed he could control everything and that everything would go according to his plan."

"But he made a complete mistake in choosing to summon the Blood Legion..."

"He did not consider the consequences of failure, including the Blood Legion going out of control, the gods of the Underworld breaking free of their cages, and beings from other planes pouring into the Prime Material Plane."

"At that time... it will be a disaster even more terrible than a bloody chaos."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh, "The ideal is certainly lofty, but if it comes at the cost of destruction, what is the point of so-called salvation?"

He shook his head and turned to look at the old man beside him.

"I understand, Mr. Qinong. You may continue to stay in the territory for the time being."

"We will continue to fight the Watchers while trying to rescue your wife."

Qinong paused for a moment, then nodded silently.

At this moment, he seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Oh right, I haven't thanked Lord Cao Xing for saving my life today."

Cao Xing waved his hand and chuckled, "Why bother with all this formalities with me?"

"I'll call someone over and arrange a place for you to rest."

So he reached out and waved.

Liu Zhuang, a polar man who was carrying timber nearby, quickly came over after seeing this.

"My lord, please give your orders."

Cao Xing said, "Take Mr. Qinong to the residential area, arrange a room for him, and he will be a new member of our territory from now on."

The six strong polar men carefully examined Qinong, then respectfully said, "Yes, Lord."

“Mr. Qinong, please come with me.”

Led by Liu Zhuang, the old man followed behind him, his steps firm as he headed toward the center of the territory.

Watching his retreating figure, Cao Xing seemed to have thought of something.

"Speaking of which, although I've recruited Qinong into my territory, I haven't looked at his attributes yet!"

"Let's see how skilled this fisherman is!"

So, Cao Xing opened the other party's interface.

[Champion Fighter: Chinon Dutra]

[Affiliation: Cao Xing's Territory]

[Level: Level 96]

[Potential: Dominator]

[HP: 3243.56 / 3243.45 (Pale Tree bonus)]

Attack Power: 81632~82347 (Master-level Command)

Armor: 5312~5575

[Attributes: Strength 12175, Agility 12384, Spirit 10547, Constitution 11279]

[Skills: Heroic-level Spear Mastery, Piercing Assault, Whirlwind Spear Dance, Spear Shadow Combo, Spear Formation Protection]

Commander-level skill: Gun Soul Awakening (Increases normal attack speed by 100%, attack power by 100%, and each attack will be accompanied by 'gun energy impact'.)

Gun Aura Impact: Deals 100% impact damage to enemies in front of it (Agility * 0.1 meters).

[Dominant Domain: Spear Soul Domain (When using a spear, the range of all attacks is increased by 100%, and it also has a 30% armor penetration effect)]

[Hero Skill: Shadowless Strike (Concentrates all strength for an instant burst, dealing continuous 5*756% piercing damage to a single enemy in a very short time, and reducing the enemy's armor by 5% for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 5 hours)]

【Hero Skill: Rainbow Piercing the Sun (Gathers all the power in the body and throws the weapon in hand, dealing 1378% explosive damage to enemies within a 1000-meter radius of the target area and stunning them for 2-5 seconds.)

It also buffs friendly units within the area with gun energy, increasing their base attack power by 20% for 60 seconds (cooldown: 3 hours).

【Loyalty: 84】

[Satiety: 65]

...

"Wow! Qinong's attributes are pretty strong!" Cao Xing couldn't help but exclaim.

As a tenth-tier overlord, his attributes naturally cannot compare to those of a mutated overlord like Malenina.

However, his skills are equally formidable, and he even possesses two [Heroic Combat Skills]!
Both of these combat skills have ridiculously high stats. The former has an extremely high single-target damage coefficient and can also reduce the enemy's armor.

The latter serves as a wide-range area-of-effect attack and control ability, and also provides an attack power bonus!
The 20% base attack power bonus for all allies is particularly powerful.

"However... this base attack power bonus is quite different from my master-level command technique."

"Base attack power, as the name suggests, is the increase in one's own attack power, without taking into account weapon bonuses or bonuses from other status skills."

"The Master-level Domination skill directly increases your total attack power by 20%."

Overall, however, Qinong's attributes are still quite good.

Nodding in satisfaction, Cao Xing pulled himself out of his thoughts.

"This battle has shown me that I've played all my cards."

"Of course, the harvest was also terrifying. In addition to the six legendary hearts, there were two overlord-level souls and one commander-level soul." "And the Watchers and the Blood Legion were not completely defeated by me, so I need even greater strength."

The biggest gain from this battle was six legendary hearts, which means he won't have to worry about breakthrough items for at least the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, some things are missing; corresponding relics are needed for other heroes in the territory to reach the legendary level.

"However, this time, after taking down nine commanders, the system rewarded me with a relic box with a selectable profession."

"I can add another legendary combatant."

With that thought in mind, he took the box containing the relics out of his backpack.

"Bangdang..."

An antique-looking box with a silvery-white luster appeared at his feet.

[Open the selectable relic box?]

[Upon activation, you will choose one relic from 108 possible breakthrough relics.]

……

Upon seeing this notification, a thoughtful expression appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"A total of 108 kinds? That is, 108 major categories?"

In reality, the total number of professions is far more than 108.

For example, the [Relic - Shield of the Ancient Beast] can not only allow Ice Shield Guardians like Braum to break through, but also other Shield Maidens and Heavy Armor Guardians.

Once the required level is reached, it can still be used for breakthroughs.

Having figured this out, Cao Xing clicked 'Confirm' to start.

A dense array of options suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Numerous phantom images of relics appeared before him.

Besides the relics we've already encountered: Nightingale Corsage, Ice Thorn, and Forest Seed.

Cao Xing also saw more items such as: the Holy War Broken Blade, the Beast Heart, and the Dark Primal Stone...

There are even relics that could allow him to break through to become a legendary Frost Mage.

"Wow, there are so many..."

Cao Xing fell into a state of deep thought.

"There are still quite a few people in my territory who meet the requirements for breakthrough."

"Besides myself, Assam, Andrew, Hilda, and even Renis and Lana the Green Serpent can break through to the legendary realm."

"These people are all quite powerful, it's really a bit difficult to choose..."

Cao Xing was caught in a dilemma.

After a moment, he made a decision.

That is—to help Liu Muxue break through to the Legendary level first!
As the strongest support in her own territory, if she can break through to the legendary level, the amplification values ​​of all her status skills will increase dramatically!
Aurora Blessing and Courage Blessing add at least 200,000 attack power!
More importantly, Cao Xing also possesses a legendary skill book—Aurora Radiance: Heavenly Fall!
This skill is incredibly powerful, directly increasing the ally's four main attributes by 50%.

Add to that the 20% bonus from the Power Blessing and the 20% bonus from Thunder Dragon's Possession, and that's a 70% attribute increase.

It's practically a doubling of the improvement!

At that time, perhaps even these heroic-level powerhouses will have a chance to defeat the legendary.

Cao Xing immediately made a decision and found Liu Muxue's breakthrough material among a large pile of relics.

[Selection successful, obtained: Relic - Aurora Core]

……

At this moment, looking at the energy ball in his hand that was radiating a beautiful aurora-like power, Cao Xing glanced at its attributes.

[Relic - Core of Aurora]

【Quality: Special】

[Item Effect 1: A relic that allows the Blue Star survivor exclusive class 'Aurora Knight' to advance to the legendary realm]

(Note: Since survivors cannot enhance their potential, the success rate of this relic is 50%)

[Item Effect 2: Can be directly absorbed, replenishing 150 points of divine power, but the relic will completely disappear when the divine power is exhausted.]

...

"I see... A 50% success rate isn't that low."

Cao Xing had previously thought that the native inhabitants of this world had the potential to advance to legendary status.

Those below the leader level have no chance of breaking through.

These survivors, aside from having their attributes enhanced, are unable to increase their potential.

It's impossible that you can only reach level 100 at most, right?

It now seems that the system was aware of this and prepared exclusive relics for them.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. In this way, the territory can gain another legend."

However, he did not immediately call Liu Muxue over.

After all, they took down a total of nine legends this time!

In addition to the selected relic box rewards, there are other rewards to check and use.

Then, a drop of flowing blood appeared in his hand.

The drop of blood was dark blue, with strange patterns appearing on its surface from time to time, carrying an ominous aura.

It was the [Filthy Blood] that was awarded along with the [Selectable Relic Box].

I glanced at the attributes.

[Filthy Blood]

【Quality: Special】

[Item Description: A drop of blood left behind by an ancient, deceased being, possessing extremely powerful corrupting energy.]

According to records, thousands of years ago, a being found half of the corpse left behind by this ancient being. Upon research, it was discovered that the corrupting power contained within had a strong restraining effect on the blood of the Blood Legion, and could even corrupt the blood of gods.

【Item Effect 1: If this drop of tainted blood is used on a creature from the Blood Dimension, its attributes will be permanently reduced by 30%】

[Item Effect 2: When a being from the Blood Dimension enters a rebirth state, this drop of tainted blood will contaminate its blood, preventing it from condensing blood for rebirth.]

……

Cao Xing frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

"Targeting the Blood Legion's blood? That might be somewhat effective."

However, for Cao Xing now, those legendary commanders no longer pose any threat.

Even if they possess the ability to regenerate blood, they would only be resurrected and then killed by him again.

However, this drop of [tainted blood] did not specify the target level it could contaminate.

In other words, even a demigod-level bloodline leader would be affected by this drop of blood, with their attributes reduced by 30%.

Or... lose the ability to revive.

"Let's see if it comes in handy later."

Cao Xing put it into his backpack and continued to check the other rewards.

Next, I obtained the three souls after defeating those centurions.

Two Dominator-level and one Commander-level.

If we can digest it, it will greatly increase our strength.

After a moment's thought, Cao Xing quickly came up with a candidate.

"These two supreme soul fragments can be given to Renis and Andrew."

"One of them has already reached level 100, and the other is at level 95."

"The conditions for breaking through to the legendary level have already been met."

"As for the last commander-level soul..."

This left Cao Xing somewhat undecided.

Currently, there are quite a few commander-level creatures in his territory.

Apart from later members like the wind mage Allen and the earth mage Tyron, they all have the potential to become leaders.

His earliest group of people, including his pets, have all had their skills improved to a high level.

After a moment's thought, Cao Xing decided to give the commander's soul to the dragon shaman Vimne.

“I heard this shaman say before that if he can break through to the commander level, there is a chance that he will awaken a powerful blessing skill – Thunder Dragon Descent.”

"Moreover, it's said that this 'Thunder Dragon Descent' is a status skill that's very suitable for our magic-based classes!"

"In that case, let him give it a try."

Cao Xing pressed the communication device in his ear and said, "Andrew, Renis, Vimne, the three of you, go back to the territory now. I need to talk to you."

A moment later, the three responded.

"Yes, sir!"

These three powerful figures are still fighting the Blood Legion outside.

Upon receiving Cao Xing's order, they quickly ended the battle and returned towards their territory...
