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

Chapter 830 Hidden Achievement Completed: An Incredible Title!
In the past month, many survivors have chosen to abandon the exploration of the Dream Realm and return to their territory with their main forces to participate in the Treasure of the Golden Skaarl event.

They either commanded their troops or joined forces with other lords to form legions, exploring the nearby snowfields.

After a month of practical experience, as well as many guides and videos on the forum.

This gave everyone experience in dealing with this monster and led to the development of various targeted tactics.

They took advantage of the fact that the skunks would run away when frightened, setting traps along their usual routes to more easily eliminate them.

Some exploit the Skullcrawler's greed for treasure by placing large amounts of gold coins and precious gems in dangerous locations to lure the Skullcrawler closer, thus drawing them into their encirclement.

Even more extreme, some breed large feline pets with a keen sense of smell specifically to deal with this monster.

Through various means, the survivors successfully hunted and killed some of the Skrats.

Although the vast majority are Silver Skrats, even so, their treasure pouches will drop at least one piece of gold-quality equipment every time.

In addition, there's the point redemption feature in the [Dream Shop].

Most lords have recently equipped themselves with at least one or two pieces of gold equipment.

In addition, there are other precious resources such as secret medicines, gems, and skill books.

This past month has been a transformative one for all the survivors!

They were excitedly discussing it in the chat channel.

"This month has been incredibly fruitful! I never imagined that one day I would be able to wear a full set of golden gear. The way those indigenous people look at me is like they're looking at a naked beauty—they're both envious and yearning!"

"Yes, not only have our own equipment been completely revamped, but the equipment of those core combat personnel has also been upgraded to a higher level. It's like a cow taking a plane—it's incredibly awesome!"

"What's this? Do you know that everyone in Region 1 already has an orange-tier item? This is outrageous!"

"Upstairs, have you lost your mind? Everyone has an orange-level piece of equipment? These days, apart from the leaders of those large legions, who else has equipment of this level?"

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, but everyone has improved a lot in the past month, especially the brothers in Region 1. They got 500,000 Dream Fragments purely thanks to Boss Cao Xing!"

"They used these fragments to exchange for a large number of Hero Hearts and Master-level Power Hearts. Now, all the lords in this region have reached the Master level, and Hero-level lords make up 20% of the total!"

Upon hearing this number, the entire world channel fell into a brief silence!

After all, what does it mean for everyone in the entire region to reach the Master level?
After the server merge, the total number of online users in Region 1 has exceeded 550 million.

This is equivalent to 550 million master-level experts!
Among them, hero-level powerhouses account for 20%, which is a full 1.1 million heroes!

It should be noted that even in a powerful kingdom, such as the Gray Mist Kingdom or the Kunard Kingdom, the total number of hero-level powerhouses across the entire kingdom's territory barely exceeds one thousand.

But now, there are 1.1 million heroes in one region!

It is easy to imagine how terrifying this power is; even legendary experts cannot ignore it.

The Ice Crystal King has also been keeping a close eye on these otherworldly lords recently.

He kept receiving urgent reports from the border patrol in the palace, saying that a hero-level lord was attacking the defense line.

On several occasions, these otherworldly lords even formed master-level legions of tens of thousands of people, galloping wildly near the Everfrost capital.

He kept shouting strange things like "Catch that mouse" and "The treasure is mine".

They were all like madmen, and incredibly powerful, scaring the city's residents so much that they hid in their rooms, too afraid to come out.

Fortunately, although these otherworldly lords behaved somewhat erratically, they did not have any conflicts with the native inhabitants.

However, if things continue to develop in this way, the power of these otherworldly lords will only grow stronger, and the entire kingdom's power structure may be impacted.

Left with no other option, the Ice Crystal King had to contact Cao Xing.

After all, he knew that Cao Xing held a very important position among these otherworldly lords.

After hearing his concerns, Cao Xing chuckled and told him to relax:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, these otherworldly lords will not pose any threat to your position."

"On the contrary, as long as you do not coerce them and give them sufficient protection, they will become the kingdom's strongest protection."

Hearing this, the old king felt somewhat relieved.

However, from that day on, he also had to re-examine the status of these otherworldly lords and how to get along with them in the future.

Of course, apart from Region 1, there aren't as many hero-level powerhouses in other regions.

The eight largest districts currently have only around 20,000 to 30,000 people.

Master-level experts make up 30% of all lords in the region.

Although it can't compare to the top 1 region, it's still quite considerable.

The strength of the lords from other worlds around the world is steadily increasing.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of their sudden increase in strength and discussed future development plans.

However, what they didn't know was that the current improvement was merely the calm before the storm.

In the near future, they will be caught up in an even bigger storm.

Of course, that's a story for another time...

at the same time.

Cao Xing is on the summit of a snow-capped mountain, tracking the trail of a Silver Skullcrawler.

With his powerful mental perception, he quickly spotted the white figure hiding under a giant silver fir tree.

Then, he waved his staff again!
Seven or eight [Enhanced Ice Cone Technique] shot out in succession!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

With several piercing sounds, the Silver Skulak didn't even get a clear look at the attacker before its health was reduced to zero and it died on the spot!

[Successfully defeated the event monster: Silver Skril Lv80, an eighth-tier boss-level creature, gaining 1420 million experience points (Pale Guidance)]

Combat personnel gained 710 million experience points.

...

[Ding! You have successfully killed 1000 Skrats. Hidden achievement: Rat-Catching Captain completed!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the achievement reward: Rat Catcher Captain (title), Moonlit Treasure Chest *1, Reputation Points +20000]

...

Upon seeing this notification, Cao Xing smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, it's almost exactly what I calculated. I finished it on the last day of the event."

This achievement is very difficult to complete, but the rewards are not generous; only one title is somewhat special.

The 'Moonlight Treasure Chest' that follows might be precious to other survivors, but for someone like Cao Xing who has opened dozens of Moonlight Treasure Chests, it seems quite ordinary.

It's likely that even the system didn't expect anyone to actually be able to complete it, so the reward was only average.

However, the achievement rewards were secondary; Cao Xing didn't care about them.

After all, he had killed thousands of Skrats in the past month and obtained a huge amount of treasure bags.

The number of Silver Sk mice is 942, the number of Golden Sk mice is 55, and the number of King Mouse, Jinkra, is 3.

In other words, there are still nearly a thousand unopened bags in his backpack!
Once he opens all these treasure bags, he will be able to obtain a near-massive amount of resources.

Therefore, this achievement was merely incidental for him.

So, Cao Xing casually glanced at the title's attributes.

[Rat Catcher Captain (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Type: Title]

[Title Attributes: Attack Power +15%, Evasion Chance +30%]

【Additional Effect: Rat Killer (When activated, damage to rodents is increased by 50%, and the user is immune to all damage effects, including abnormal statuses, caused by rodents (including god-level creatures).

Lasts 60 seconds, cooldown: 24 hours

(Note: "Captain, you really did it! Those guys who used to laugh at your obsession with catching mice should now rethink who the prey is!")
...

At this moment, Cao Xing's gaze narrowed slightly.

At first glance, this title's attributes seem unremarkable and have no practical use.

After all, the special effects mentioned above only work when targeting rodents.

However, when he saw the description that followed, his pupils suddenly contracted!
"Immune to all effects caused by rodents, including abnormal statuses... even attacks from god-level beings."

"Isn't this effect... a bit too exaggerated!?"

Cao Xing couldn't help but gasp.

what is this concept?

It's important to know that, with the blessing of [Eternal Power], these effects can last forever.

In other words, once Cao Xing activates the [Rat Killer] effect, he is essentially invincible when facing this species of creature!
No matter what kind of divine magic they use or how devastating their attacks are, they cannot harm me!

It is even completely immune to the most troublesome abnormal states such as plagues and curses.

“Outrageous…” Cao Xing shook his head slightly, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

Regardless, this title is still very powerful, and it might come in very handy in the future!

Thinking of this, he nodded in satisfaction and unconsciously looked up at the gleaming title of "Rat Catcher Captain" above his head.

After admiring it for a while, he walked to the snow in front of him and picked up the treasure bag that the silver Skaven had dropped.

Then, Cao Xing turned his head and looked at the two beautiful figures beside him.

At this moment, Isabel, who has reached the maximum level of 150, stands gracefully on the snow, holding the [Radiant Staff], surrounded by holy light.

Marlena, who was standing next to her, also leveled up to level 125 after this period of fighting.

She stood to one side, holding the Blood-Drinking Blade, her dark gold armor spotless.

Both women are very strong fighters, so their chances of winning are about 50/50.

Isabel has mastered the Holy Light magic to an unparalleled degree, and with the aid of the [Grimoire of Light], her combat ability can be said to easily defeat mages of the same level.

Although Malenina was 25 levels lower than her, [Valkyrie's Wrath] had made up for the difference, and her combat experience was superb.

Of course, if Malenina directly activates her second form, then there's no suspense.

After all, the gap between a demigod and a legend is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

“Good news, I need to take Malenina back to the territory to handle some matters first.”

Cao Xing said to Isabel, "The operation to deal with Skrod is now entirely in your hands."

The Holy Light Sage nodded slightly. "Yes, Lord, I will ensure that no prey is missed."

Cao Xing nodded as well.

Then, taking Malenina with him, he vanished from the spot in a blur.

...

...

A few minutes later.

Cao Xing's figure pierced through the 'Static Magic Shield' and landed directly in the central square of the territory.

There, a beautiful and elegant figure was already waiting.

She held an antique-style accordion, her silver-blue hair swaying gently in the breeze, and her beautiful face exuding a mature charm.

It was Rosie from Chuanhai Fort.

Upon seeing Cao Xing, the experienced woman slowly stepped forward.

Those deep eyes swept over him, a strange light appearing in them.

She exclaimed in admiration, "Lord Cao Xing, you've become even stronger since I last saw you."

"The sheer amount of magic power emanating from her is something even I am ashamed of. She truly deserves to be the one who can end the bloody chaos."

Cao Xing chuckled and shook his head: "Ms. Rosie, you flatter me. This is just a normal improvement."

"How have you been doing in my territory lately?"

A gentle smile appeared on the woman's face: "Lord Cao Xing's territory is prosperous and stable, a very nice and ideal place to live. I am very happy here..."

"Besides, Gwyneth is a very nice girl too."

"Not only is he incredibly talented, but he also has a resilient character."

"After a month of study, she has made rapid progress in music, and it won't be long before she becomes a Celestial Musician."

At this point, Rosie's lips curled slightly, seemingly genuinely satisfied with the apprentice Cao Xing had found for her.

However, the next moment, Rosie's expression turned serious again.

She asked solemnly, "Lord Cao Xing, I have come to see you because the 'day of the plan' you mentioned has arrived."

"So, when do we begin implementing the plan?"

Upon hearing this question, Cao Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Ms. Rosie, I can do it anytime, and the combat personnel outside can also be called back immediately."

"The main question is, how are your preparations going?"

This legendary, peak-level powerhouse took a deep breath, his slender fingers gently brushing across the strings: "I have adjusted myself to my peak state, and my divinity is fully activated."

"Now, I can break through to demigod status at any time."

Hearing this, Cao Xing smiled again: "That's great, Ms. Rosie."

"As long as you're ready on your end, we can start tomorrow!"

Rosie wasn't as excited as expected; instead, she asked with some concern, "Lord Cao Xing, although I know you are exceptionally strong, I have also come to understand the strength of your territory over the past month."

"But I must remind you, that 'Fire Thief' is no ordinary demigod."

"Moreover... according to my intelligence, you have other enemies."

"Will tomorrow's plans really go smoothly?"

Cao Xing remained silent for a moment.

To be honest, he wasn't entirely confident.

After all, based on various events and the accounts of the demigods whose divine fire was stolen, the fire thief's combat power was absolutely extremely strong!
He even had to prepare for the worst and treat the other party as a god!

Such a powerful enemy has made the entire plan fraught with uncertainty.

After all, Cao Xing had never dealt with a god before.

However, if this guy isn't dealt with, he'll continue to loom over us.

Whenever someone in Cao Xing's territory prepares to break through to demigod status, they will be targeted by this mysterious being.

In other words, unless Cao Xing never breaks through to the demigod level in his lifetime, he will have to face this person sooner or later.

It would be better to take the initiative and seize control of the situation.

As for the other enemies Rosie mentioned...

Cao Xing naturally knew who those guys were.

After such a long period of silence, those hidden forces must be getting restless soon.

Since that's the case, let's solve it all at once!
Although doing this is dangerous, even extremely risky!
But if successful, it will bring a long period of peace.

With that thought in mind, he said firmly, "Ms. Rosie, I cannot guarantee that tomorrow's plan will succeed."

"But I can promise you that, whether I succeed or not, I will ensure your safety."

“Moreover…” A sharp glint flashed in his eyes: “I have more than one backup plan prepared this time.”

Looking into Cao Xing's determined eyes, Rosie couldn't help but be moved by his previously tense expression.

She saw a strong sense of confidence and determination in the other person's eyes!

It's a quality that comes from enduring various trials and tribulations and accumulating victories, making people instinctively want to trust you.

The elegant woman sighed softly, "Since that's the case, then I will no longer hesitate."

She gave a graceful bow. "From now on, I will fully cooperate with you to ensure the success of the plan."

Cao Xing nodded: "Okay, Ms. Rosie, please go back first."

He softened his tone, "Get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow... will be the moment that determines the fate of the entire Western Continent!"

Rosie nodded slightly, then turned and left with the accordion in her arms, her long, silver-blue hair shimmering softly in the sunset.

After Rosie left, Cao Xing's smile also disappeared.

He stood there, lost in thought, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

Marlene, standing beside him, seemed to sense his worry.

She stepped forward and solemnly said, "Master, I will always protect you."

"I swear on my life that I will never allow anyone to harm you or our territory."

Marlena's voice was resolute, and her dark golden eyes burned with intense heat.

Cao Xing looked up and saw her earnest gaze. His furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch half of the Valkyrie's face beneath her mask.

It felt cool to the touch, and the skin was as smooth as cream, creating a striking contrast with the golden mask.

Marlena lowered her head, feeling her master's caress. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a blush crept onto her face.

Just as the two were immersed in this warm moment, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence.
