Players’ NPC daddy.

It's actually a world item that can interfere with time!?

"Can this be given to me as an extra-standard reward?"

To be honest, Blaze felt that he would most likely be rejected, but one had to give it a try.

Just like some strangers who, knowing they will be rejected, still ask whether they can see the underwear of men and women, regardless of gender. It's not a question of whether it will fail, but how great it would be if it succeeded.

Of course, if you ask this question in Mekingiod, the famous capital of strongmen, men will take off their clothes without hesitation, leaving only their underwear, to show off their muscles.

"Yes, but I must make a statement. Driving the [Kronos Gear] to slow down, speed up, or pause time requires a large amount of energy, and anomalies will occur when a stranger appears within the interference range."

"The souls of strangers come from another world and are anchor points on the timeline. With them, even Kronos cannot reverse or accelerate the world. Even if time is stopped, the strangers' thoughts will not be affected."

"If the person receiving my teachings were a stranger, I wouldn't have proposed using the [Kronos Gear] to accelerate individual time."

"Well... I think it's still a very useful item." Blaze had no objection to the fact that it required a large amount of energy, or MP. After all, it was an item that could interfere with the time in some areas, so this price was justified.

Speaking of time, he remembered the time attack used by Theresa.

"Theresa can launch an attack that hits me seconds later. Is this also the ability of the [Cronus Gear]? Can the [Cronus Gear] reproduce that kind of attack?"

"It can be done. The delayed bullet itself is derived from the technology of the [Kronos Gear], but it is limited to long-range attacks." Chiron opened his palm and fired 7 spheres at Blaze, but only 6 spheres hit Blaze, and the seventh sphere suddenly appeared a few seconds later.

Blaze caught the seventh sphere easily, pinching it between his fingers as he lost himself in thought.

This skill seems to be useless at first glance. The attack a few seconds later is just a sudden, independent long-range attack without any starting action.

When fighting with Theresa, he also dodged most of the delayed attacks, so Theresa only used delayed attacks to force him to change the rhythm of the battle.

However, if you deliberately lure the enemy into a delayed attack position, you can create a sudden attack. If used well, even someone like Greenland, who can dodge with the tip of his sword almost touching his eyeball, will be affected.

[Cronus Gear] is a good thing, and its most important thing is not that it consumes a lot of MP to stop or slow down time miraculously, but other aspects.

There is a very important piece of information in Chiron's oral narration, "Owning the [Kronos Gear] allows you to use the technology derived from it", which means that this is equivalent to a world item that opens up a large number of time-related skills to the user.

This world item will definitely come in handy when fighting the second-generation One-Eye.

Now he was fully motivated.

"Teacher, I am a donkey who prefers carrots to sticks." Blaze shook his fist vigorously, throwing away all the anxiety in his heart.

"If you give me some specific descriptions of the extra-standard rewards, I'll be more motivated."

"..."

Chiron stood there for a few seconds, analyzed and understood Blaze's words, and came up with the best educational plan.

"Understood. Next, I will use my unspecified bonus to attack you and boost your fighting spirit."

“It’s called the carrot and stick approach.”

"Ugh!"

Chapter 320 Carrot and Stick

The carrot and stick strategy, in short, uses delicious carrots as weapons to whip the donkey hard, so that the donkey can experience the juicy and delicious taste of carrots firsthand.

While Chiron was whipping Blaze with his extraordinary rewards, he asked Blaze to imagine the scene of whipping the enemy with his extraordinary skills in the future. It can be said that it was the highest level of pain and pleasure.

Unfortunately, the Kronos Gear required a lot of energy, so Chiron couldn't speed up time infinitely. After fighting for forty hours, or 40 seconds of normal time, Chiron announced the end of the first class.

Chicken and Nessus only felt that Blaze and Chiron disappeared for about 40 seconds, and Blaze lay on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Are you okay?" The chicken touched Blaze with the tip of its wing. Although Blaze looked like a puddle of mud, the whole body was shining.

It looked like it was beaten into a puddle and then treated.

"It's okay. I'm in good shape now." Blaze sat up slowly. Although his level did not change, the proficiency of many of his skills increased during the forty hours of fighting.

Due to repeated near-death experiences, his proficiency in [Adrenaline] has reached B, and the attribute boost to triggered skills has reached 100%. His proficiency in [Super Strength Boost], [Super Physique], and [High Metabolism] has all reached C. He's still not very good at using his newly acquired [Perfect Golden Strength], having only raised it to E.

In the battle with Chiron, Blaze had almost no time to use his active skills, so the skills that improved his proficiency were basically passive skills.

Unfortunately, Blaze was in the state of [Ouroboros Growth] throughout the whole process, and his proficiency did not improve at all. Obviously, this powerful skill requires special conditions to improve.

Blaze was still thinking about using the world props to become a god. After forcibly raising all his skill proficiency to the extraordinary Z, [Ouroboros Growth] gave him unparalleled wrist strength that could even use meteorites as pitches.

Of course, the biggest gain is the extraordinary reward displayed by Chiron, a terrifying combination skill called [Pankrasin].

It is clearly an active skill, but there is no pre-animation, that is, the standard action when activating the skill, and the skill name will be displayed in the eyes when causing damage.

Blaze's biggest trump card, the ability to see through movements called reading instructions, is useless in the face of this skill combination. The most he can do is know what skill defeated him.

It is said that this set of combined skills is the fighting skills developed by Chiron through his accumulated experience since the Age of Gods.

Acquiring this skill set is extremely difficult. You must engage in close combat with Chiron, while disabling active skills, to accumulate hidden experience points. Only at a certain point can you learn a skill. Once all skills are learned, you will receive the final skill reward, Pankrasin.

This skill combination is also one of the objectives of the EX difficulty training mission, and is also the reason why the training mission takes at least one year.

Of course, with Blaze's shameless request, he would definitely not only receive the predetermined reward for completing the training mission.

"It will take four hours to restart the [Kronos Gear], so you have four hours of rest." Chiron turned back into a centaur posture, and the surrounding environment changed again, from the Thessaly Valley to the simple style of the Age of Gods.

It was the first time that Nessus had seen such a style, so he was shocked and stamped his hooves nervously on the cold floor.

"Uh-oh! I can feel that this place is far away from nature. We Centaurs are a people who worship nature. This place makes me feel so uncomfortable."

"Isn't it muscles that you centaurs worship?"

"Muscles are the very symbol of nature!"

Blaze thought about it seriously and it seemed to be true.

Nessus seemed really unable to adapt to this environment. He didn't care what kind of environment he was in, as long as he could become stronger. He wished he could continue training for these four hours.

But it would be a pity if only the skill proficiency increased without the level increasing.

"How about we go monster hunting around here?"

"Okay, okay!" Nessus kept rubbing his arms, eager to leave.

Blazer opened the map. The Thessaly Valley was surprisingly not far from the Hundred-Tai Ganges. The river in the middle of the valley flowed directly into the Hundred-Tai Ganges. Because the Hundred-Tai Ganges was located downstream, the river in the middle of the valley was not polluted by the Hundred-Tai Ganges.

"You don't mind if we go to the Hundred Fetuses River to hunt monsters, do you?"

Nessus shook his head, apparently having no opinion on where to flex his muscles.

Chiron had some reaction when he heard the words Ganges.

"This area is extremely dangerous. Please choose your attack area carefully."

"I see."

Blaze recalled some of the rumors about the Hundred Births Ganges. The blood of the evil god formed a long river with the broken neck of the Titan evil god as the center, dividing the world into three parts. The terrifying Titan hybrids absorbed the blood of the evil god and threatened the monsters around them.

Among them, the Titan hybrids produced by the Ganges River in the territory of the Giant Kingdom are the weakest. This is because the Nemean Giants are hiding at the bottom of the river and monopolize almost all the Titan power.

The Holy Cross Kingdom's Hundred Births River lacked an absolute ruler like the Nemean Giants. Consequently, numerous overlords emerged to vie for control of the river, and the average level of Titan hybrids was significantly higher.

However, now that the Midsummer Galaxy has been born, the ancient beasts have awakened, and together with the Galaxy, they are attacking the remaining two Hundred-Fetus Ganges and the Titan hybrids at the intersection of the Hundred-Fetus Ganges.

It is said that many foreigners now pick up bargains at intersections, take some monster drops and the like, and sometimes even get some experience.

Blaze had a perfect process: he went to the Hundred Fetuses River to eliminate the Titan hybrids to obtain materials and experience, then forged them into weapons in the Centaur Village. After gaining forging experience, he handed the weapons to the Goblins. Then, through the Goblins, he traded with the Centaurs to strengthen the connection between the two villages.

Of course, this perfect process was not something he came up with, but was borrowed from the perfect start and high-speed upgrade process of foreigners.

However, in the Stranger's perfect start and high-speed upgrade flow, [Chef], [Farmer] and [Hunter] are used.

First, you'll acquire a Hunter. Use the fur you hunt to sell for a small sum of money to rent land and become a Farmer. Plant crops, using your affinity with nature to increase yields. Then, use a Chef to process and sell them, until the Hunter unlocks the special quest, "Invitation to the Golden Forest."

After completing the whole process, not only did you greatly improve your level, gain a lot of wealth and a lot of recovery food, but you also triggered a special task.

After that, you just need to go to a special area to forget your profession.

This was Blaze's original plan. The reason why he didn't choose [Blacksmith] at first was because he remembered that the stranger said that even dogs wouldn't play [Blacksmith].

Chapter 321: During the upgrade process, people will always lose their humanity

Blaze would occasionally think of Theresa. Although Theresa was dead, he didn't know whether the next Theresa would be born.

Anyway, it must be the miraculous technology of the Age of Gods that will transfer Theresa's soul to the next body.

Although there were definitely some side effects, Blaze was certain that this wouldn't be the last time Theresa did this. He was so certain because his special "Translation Z" allowed him to read Theresa's breathing, and Theresa had thought several times about crashing into the blade and dying.

Of course, Blaze thought of Theresa not because he really missed her, but because he was worried that the disappearance of the cardinal would cause some trouble in the Holy Cross Kingdom.

Blaze wanted to go to the Hundred Tail Ganges, and also wanted to ascertain the internal situation of the Holy Cross State.

The Hundred Births Ganges is a natural disaster. Whether it is the Giant Kingdom Alliance, the Holy Cross Kingdom, or the Eternal Kingdom, they have all sent their elite troops to suppress the erosion of the Hundred Births Ganges.

The Giant Kingdom Alliance's luck was truly terrible. When the Nemean Giants awakened, they were the first to be destroyed. But they were also fortunate. Not only was nearly all the blood of the evil gods concentrated in the Nemean Giants, but most of the powerful Titan hybrids were in the Nemean Forest, surrounded by the Giant Defense Line, making defense quite easy.

But the other two kingdoms were unlucky. Not only did they not have a towering wall like the Giant Line, but the overlords of the Hundred-Fetus Ganges also occupied their own territory and the Titan hybrids were extremely scattered.

Therefore, more than half of the legions of the two kingdoms were used to build the defense line. Whether the domestic situation was stable depended on the condition of the legions on the defense line.

Blazer followed the central river of the Celisa Valley to the Hundred-Tire Ganges River. This area was a swamp called the Lena, mostly inhabited by snake monsters. In winter, it was extremely safe, as the snake monsters hibernated, but during the snake mating season, it became extremely dangerous.

During winter, low-level strangers would appear here, killing hibernating snake monsters to level up. During the mating season, that is, spring and summer, even high-level strangers would be reluctant to approach.

Blaze hadn't quite understood it before, but after arriving, he knew why.

It was clearly a swamp, but what I saw was a churning sea of ​​snakes. Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Perhaps even more snakes tangled and tumbled in the swamp. The massive snakes tumbled like waves, and it was immediately apparent that the highly venomous ones were cascading down like waves.

Just then, a group of elephant-like monsters approached the Snake Sea.

That is the [Yaco Giant Mammoth], a terrifying neutral monster with an average level of 85.

Elephant monsters have excellent memories and follow fixed migration paths. The arrival of the Hundred Fetuses Ganges River changed the ecological structure of the ground, but the elephant monsters still walked straight on the original path and stepped into the sea of ​​​​serpents.

The leading giant elephant crushed countless snakes, its massive body forcibly clearing a path. But the next moment, snakes even larger than the elephant rolled over and swallowed the elephant in a sea of ​​snakes.

The elephant struggled desperately, but tens of thousands of venomous snakes injected venom into it. If they couldn't penetrate its skin, they would spray venom.

The giant elephant died, not from being crushed to death or poisoned, but from being drowned alive by the venom.

When Blaze saw that the remaining giant elephants were still trying to rush into the sea of ​​snakes, he immediately transformed into a silver werewolf and sprinted at high speed, blocking the giant elephants and the sea of ​​snakes.

The giant elephant roared at Blaze in revenge, and stomped the ground with its huge feet anxiously.

Blaze took a deep breath and then let out a deafening roar.

“Roar—”

Compared to the roars of the Yakin, Blaze's roar was insignificant, but almost all of the Yakin were frightened. Not only the Yakin, but besides the reveling sea of ​​serpents, almost all creatures, including Nessus, froze.

This is the third generation of the great lion, the intimidation of the new king.

You have to take a detour.

The Yako elephants will not give up their revenge because of the king's intimidation, but they feel some emotion in Blaze's roar.

They let out sad growls towards Blaze, took a reluctant look at the giant elephant that was swallowed by the sea of ​​snakes, and slowly turned around and left.

Elephant monsters have excellent memories, so they hold grudges very well. If you kill and absorb the soul of any elephant monster, you will be hunted down. They will constantly return to the place where their fellow monsters died, recalling the pain and continuing to seek revenge.

But this time, they can only feel sad.

"Huh, luckily they left. I thought we would have to use force." Blaze breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the sea of ​​snakes.

Even the great lion's threats did not elicit a response from the sea of ​​serpents.

"These snakes are all Titan hybrids, and their souls are extremely low. Now it's mating season, and the already strong instincts make the flesh completely overwhelm the soul." Chicken landed next to Blaze and showed a trace of disgust when looking at the sea of ​​snakes.

"What you see before you is just a bunch of moving pieces of flesh. They're not even a group of monsters, just a dangerous [environment]."

Nessus also arrived and expressed his thoughts after looking at the sea of ​​snakes.

"While celebrating the birth of life is important, indulging in it like this is not good."

Blaze covered his face. He felt that the centaurs and elves might be of the same kind. With them around, things could never be serious.

Speaking is the innate right of intelligent creatures, so he decided to pretend he didn't hear it and think about how to eliminate the sea of ​​snakes and gain experience points.

Ranged attacks are the best way to kill the sea of ​​snakes, but not the best way to gain experience points.

The reason why foreigners stay away from the Sea of ​​Snakes is because of the terrifying density of monsters. If you want to gain experience points, you must crush the soul fire that appears after the monster dies.

In the end, I have to enter the sea of ​​snakes anyway, so I might as well avoid it.

Blaze has [Leo] and is not afraid of snake fangs, but the giant mammoth that just died was choked to death by the venom.

"You should know that you don't have to upgrade here, right?" Chicken tilted his head.
