Master Changsheng

Chapter 68, Section 067: Five Objectives

The next day.

dawn.

An Kai frowned and opened his eyes.

One night of meditation did not meet the requirement of gaining attribute points.

The main reason was related to his mental distress. Whenever he wanted to calm down and meditate in seclusion, Donglin's smiling ugly face would appear in his mind.

Remove the meat, process it using the [Meat Refining Station], and then roast it.

Ankai sat at the cave entrance, gazing at the oasis lake, and began to enjoy his breakfast.

However, his thoughts were constantly focused on the side quests.

Now, if he wants to take revenge on places like the Town of the Dead and Chaos City, which have fifth-tier powerhouses, he can only do so by finding some useful information through side quests.

A direct confrontation is out of the question.

To confront a force with a fifth-tier expert head-on is no different from courting death.

Just as I finished eating the beast meat, a side quest update came on.

An Kai quickly scrolled past the side quests that were more distant from him and focused on the three major factions in the desert...

[18: The town of the dead vanished overnight, as if it had never existed.]

[19: Within the Duchy of Buklin, hundreds of thousands of civilians have disappeared, including many professionals of various kinds. The royal family has issued a bounty, offering a huge reward to anyone who provides clues.]

...

[26: The Lord of Chaos City, unable to find the Town of the Dead or Ankai, has raised the bounty again.]

[27: The desert orc army welcomes the twenty-eighth prince of the orc kingdom. The prince has come to complete his royal thousand-man kill trial, and then break through the level shackles to advance to the third tier!]

...

When the side quest [27] appeared before him, Ankai smiled…

A rough plan of revenge flashed through his mind...

He rummaged through his storage ring and found a [City Lord's Mansion Access Token], which he had obtained from the [Puppet Master].

Possessing this plaque grants free access to the Chaos City Lord's Mansion, which is also a symbol of the mansion.

Holding the nameplate in his hand, An Kai muttered to himself, "A skeletal being with a City Lord's Mansion nameplate killed the Twenty-Eighth Prince from the Beastman Kingdom. The desert is going to be quite lively..."

The plan has emerged in Ankai's mind, but it is still very rough at the moment.

He wasn't in a hurry to make a move. This so-called prince sounded like a ruthless character; it was best to observe him more...

The appearance of the twenty-eighth orc prince brought a smile back to Ankai's face...

At the same time, they are also full of enthusiasm for improving their strength.

With a soft chuckle, just as he was about to return to the cave to meditate, two Desert Crocodiles crawled over from not far away.

"I'm having good luck today. Looks like Lady Luck is finally looking out for me."

With a muttered sound, An Kai pulled out the [Brute Force Staff] and charged straight ahead.

Two minutes later.

Ankai returned, carrying two headless crocodile bodies.

And a [Desert Crocodile] magic core of [Lv8] level.

With the magic core in hand, An Kai was filled with emotion.

In the desert, not only am I getting stronger, but even the [Desert Crocodile], a [Lv5] magical beast, has been uniformly upgraded to [Lv8] in just a few years…

This rate of improvement is arguably even faster than that of some lazy human races outside the region.

Rooted in the desert, Ankai can still clearly perceive some of the changes.

Besides the recent increase in the strength of the [Desert Crocodile] monster, the damn weather outside is also getting hotter and hotter.

Throughout the year, there has never been a cool day.

Carrying the two headless crocodile bodies, he quickly walked back into the cave and used a freezing spell to freeze them and hang them up.

He then returned to the ice bed created by the freezing spell, and, holding the [Meditation Staff], began his training...

The next day, Ankai opened his eyes.

This meditation session ended well; I gained +1 attribute point.

Ankai added it to his stamina.

[Endurance +1]

[Endurance: 176]

...

After a while, the side quest refreshed.

[29: The 28th Orc Prince easily killed a Tier 2, Level 10 knight. Of course, this might be related to his five Tier 4 guardians.]

...

After seeing the plot he was concerned about refreshed, An Kai pondered for a moment. He realized that he couldn't deal with the current twenty-eighth prince of the orcs.

He was still somewhat confident in dealing with someone at the second-tier, tenth-level realm.

The key is the five fourth-tier guardians around him.

In this desert, such strength is somewhat cheating.

They talk about their own experiences, but they still rely on others.

Ankai scoffed at this behavior.

However, he was not in a hurry. He did not believe that a twenty-eighth prince of an orc kingdom would need someone else to help him with all his training.

Don't you have any self-respect?

...

A month later.

"Damn it, if you're so afraid of dying, what are you doing in the desert?!"

Ankai was somewhat indignant. How could you, the dignified 28th Prince of the Beastmen, be so afraid of death?!

After a month, An Kai discovered through side quests that this guy had been protected by five fourth-tier powerhouses.

What personal training, what thousand-man kill? It's probably the Guardian's training, isn't it? The Guardian's thousand-man kill!

Inside the cave, An Kai's eyes flickered. He believed that he should not sit idly by and wait for his death.

This cautious orc prince should be given some trouble…

For example, the orc army in the desert suffered heavy losses...

An Kai glanced at his attribute values, his remaining skill points, and the beast meat hanging inside the cave…

He quietly set a goal and persisted in it for a year. After a year, he will take action.

Even then, the orc prince wouldn't leave.

This guy is very cautious; he only kills one person a day, not even one more…

...

one year later.

Today, Ankai finished the third-to-last piece of animal meat in the cave.

He secluded himself for a total of one year and six months.

The time has come to leave the pass!

After the orc prince appeared, he spent two months raising his intelligence attribute to 191 points.

The five spells were also successfully upgraded to [Lv14].

At this point, with the Meditation Staff in hand, one can gain an attribute point in just 19 hours through Meditation.

Because the efficiency of seclusion was getting lower and lower, it took another 4 months to raise the intelligence attribute to 221 points.

All five spell levels have been upgraded to [Lv15]!

At level 15, with the Meditation Staff in hand, one attribute point can be gained in just 18 hours.

Four more months passed, and Ankai's intelligence attribute increased to 251 points.

At this point, [Meditation] has been upgraded to [Lv16]. With the [Meditation Staff] in hand, it only takes 17 hours to gain one attribute point.

Although the time was reduced, Ankai's attribute points did not increase much; he only gained a total of 40 attribute points in the last three months.

The reason is that for most of these three months, he wasn't in seclusion, but rather scouting locations...

Based on the activity trajectory of the 28th Prince of the Orcs in the side story, we can track down the places he visited yesterday.

And sure enough, Ankai actually found some orc settlements.

These locations were marked on a simple map obtained from the Evergreen Gang.

They are preparing for their departure from the country.

Today, as usual, after reviewing the side quests, An Kai chuckled softly.

They left their secluded retreat and headed out of the oasis.

There are many reasons for this trip.

First, they killed the 28th Prince of the Orcs and then framed Chaos City and the Town of the Dead.

Secondly, taking advantage of the chaos in Chaos City, he plans to plunder the assets of the outer city, including the bounty towers, perhaps even offering them for free…

Thirdly, it was to stockpile enough supplies and resources for entering the Mage Tower…

Fourth… An Kai thought for a moment. If possible, he would try to find out why the Town of the Dead had disappeared. The old man from Donglin and the Town of the Dead had suddenly vanished. He had a feeling that the old man was up to no good…

As for five…

It's related to Hanks; Ankai hopes to obtain the language analysis of the Kingdom of Shak from him, which he can use to analyze the books obtained from the Mage Tower.

If there were level 1 spells from the Kingdom of Shak, it would be another boost for Ankai.

As An Kai emerged from the pass, he opened his personal profile...
