80 Chapter 80_ Easy Clears (3)
These three first-person shooter games—Unlimited Battleground, Rainbow Seven, and Underwatch—were the most played FPS titles worldwide for the previous seven years and ten months. In particular, Unlimited Battleground held the top spot for FPS games for three years following its release. The audience was enamored with the gamers' clever and deft control abilities throughout this e-sports golden period.
Among them, Haster was the gamer who garnered the most admiration and respect from the general public. Haster was renowned. He was recognized as the top player in Unlimited Battleground, Rainbow Seven, and Underwatch. He had a default for his ultimate control ability. He possessed the forbearance to wait for the opponent for minutes in one spot and the skill to read the other players through "sound."
The American media had lavished him with praise. They had been enthusiastic that a legendary pro gamer was born in the US. The foreign media couldn't deny it. However, Haster's throne, which had seemed everlasting, ended in vain.
It was due to the release of Satisfy. Once virtual reality games appeared, people were no longer enthusiastic about existing games. Their focus shifted. Everyone in the world became concentrated solely on Satisfy, and traditional e-sports experienced a downturn.
Then Haster announced his retirement. His retirement was tantamount to the downfall of the existing game industry. Many people were regretful while the E-sports Association asked Haster to stay and protect the existing game system. Despite that, Haster didn't withdraw his retirement.
After all, he too had a new future in Satisfy.
"So this is the newly transformed kingdom."
A smile appeared on Haster's face as he connected the scattered words. How long has it been? It had been a month in real time or three months in Satisfy's timeline.
(#A/N: According to the novel or just based on my understanding, Haster started playing in Satisfy at more than two years in real time or more six years in Satisfy's timeline in the future.
Though this might be extremely insignificant to you— readers, I altered him to play Satisfy earlier than in the novel as I intended to make this under rated character have a big role in this fan-fic.)
Haster remembered the days when he first encountered Satisfy. He had a weak body that couldn't keep up with his brain. There was the item system which couldn't be overcome by raising his stats and training his body, as well as the inherent limitation of the character tied to the framework of a class.
In comparison to FPS, there were too many external factors in Satisfy which made relying on his innate physical ability difficult. Consequently, Haster judged that a hidden class was necessary to thoroughly train and utilize his natural skills. He didn't want a strong class. A low-rated class could be good too. Haster wanted a class that could perform all types of roles with various combat styles, one that would be able to carry out his cognitive thoughts.
"I wonder what's this place can give me."
Haster was looking around. He was currently in the capital city of the kingdom ruled by the youngest king, Reinhardt. As a veteran gamer, Haster has collected all kinds of informations that he could use to his advantage about Satisfy.
Because of that, he became aware about what happened in the First National Competition. The debut of the first legendary class user, Greed that dominated every opponents he faced against with his ridiculous attack damage that logged out famous rankers.
Greed defeated Aura Master Hurent in 5 seconds and Bondre in 4 seconds. His stunning world debut, devastating Satisfy's strongest players in a single blow, caused huge waves.
Because of that, Haster determined that he should visit the kingdom that Greed was active. Leading to his decision of visiting Reinhardt after playing for more than 2 months in game time.
"What a magical and fascinating place."
From the streams alone, Satisfy is themed on fantasy medieval setting. He had seen so many medieval cities and towns... and even though they were beautiful, they still had the same things that other cities had.
Water was still being fetched from the wells, people still used torches and every basic necessity was the same. However, this place was greatly different.
This place was definitely heaven!!
His eyes beamed out at all the magnificent buildings and carriages passing by. The clean roads ran in a neat orderly grid pattern, that enabled the onlookers to know what was beyond the numerous buildings and wide roads around the highway.
Unlike the medieval structures that were common is Satisfy, the structures here are beautifully crafted modern buildings that were towering to the sky, that were made from strange materials that Haster couldn't identify. It felt like he was in the modern world instead but there's something that truly made this place fantastic, he truly felt like he was in another world looking at those.
Gigantic magical trees that are mostly at 800 to 900 meters tall. The trees perfectly blended with the tall sky crapers around but still, he saw after a while that the construction weren't finished yet.
'Marvelous', he thought although the place wasn't completed. Roaming around Reinhardt that is filled with green scenery, Haster saw more than approximately millions of men on a road construction.
Thousands were in charge of land excavation, leveling the land, digging up trenches for road water drainage, gravel adding, tarring, and so on. Of course there were trees in these regions as well, but they spread wide apart as a densely packed jungle but no trees were cut down.
In fact, there was no need to cut these magical trees that provided bonus stats since Lexus has strategically planted these trees with the construction of highway roads and buildings in mind.
Their speed of building were truly fast. It was because millions of man power greatly boosted the work's efficiency. For example in concrete construction, more than thousands of them were to continue marking the roads along the carriage road.
Another hundreds of thousand men were to take each marked road and start marking their way across the fields, and further into the city.
And finally, more than hundreds of thousand of them were to start marking the spaces along the already marked roads, for rain water drainage pipes. As well as water supply pipes and sewage drainage pipes.
'Arriving in this kingdom is definitely the correct judgment.'
Haster came into this conclusion. Once this kingdom truly developed, he might greatly benefit if he somehow contributed in it. To venture as a player in this place.
'I look forward to it.'
With his passion being ignited, Haster began his journey in Reinhardt. At this moment, he was unaware that he would have the opportunity to acquire a legendary class with the greatest potential when he encountered the monarch of this kingdom.
•~×~•
In the islands in Behen Archipelago, Lexus concluded that the magical random machine shop could draw items in every corner of the world.
"Go."
Even if his judgment was correct, wasn't the probability of drawing a good product is extremely low? But Lexus didn't hesitate. He had a high good luck stat which was now a huge more than 1,000. He could even rename himself as the King of Luck or the Paragon of Luck.
Lexus made up his mind and pressed the button.
[999 points have been consumed to buy...]
[...! ! ! ]
[Your good luck stat has brought about a positive result.]
[Congratulations! An Experience Increase Potion has been acquired.]
[Experience Increase Potion]
[Increases experience gained by 20% for the next three days.]
Seeing the item that he acquired after the first draw, Lexus was elated.
'Oh, great.'
This one of the rarest items that is hard to obtain in the reputation store. Even Greed couldn't easily obtain one. Proceeding to the next draw, Lexus could feel that lady luck smiles at him.
[Congratulations! A Vermillion Fruit has been acquired.]
[Vermillion Fruit]
[Upon consumption, your body will always be in peak condition. When stat points are obtained, there will be no need for adjustment.]
His lips slightly curled up. Currently, his massive amount of stats are becoming a problem for the current him. He still couldn't adapt yet to it, for example, with his agility stat.
One of the four basic stats. Every 1,000 points increased attack speed by 0.1, and maximum movement speed is increased by 30 at 3,000. His base agility alone is already super fast but it made him being unable to completely control his speed.
Of course, that is unless he activated his Enhanced Thought Acceleration that slows the world around him by a million times. Feeling satisfied of about the item, Lexus immediately consumed both the potion and the fruit, and immediately draw again.
[Congratulations! Eye Glass of the Genius has been acquired.]
[Eye Glass of the Genius]
Rating: Legendary
[Durability: 230/230
The large frame is the highlight of the square eyeglasses! It is big enough to cover half the face, so it will help someone ugly look handsome!
Effect: Look handsome but the charm stat isn't created or increased.
* Experience acquisition rate is increased by 30%.
* Once you gain a certain amount of experience while wearing the eye glass, the skill proficiency of the weapon mastery skills will increase significantly.
* Every time a skill hits while wearing the eye glass, the skill's experience acquisition will increase significantly.
Condition of Use: None.]
Looking at the eye glass, Lexus was speechless. His luck was too good. He even suspected that maybe lady luck was lifting her skirt, allowing him to see her panties and thick thighs.
This item was very beneficial for him as the eyeglasses synergized with his title very well.
[Peerless Talent]
[A genius that overwhelms even geniuses. Level and abilities will rise 60% faster than normal. In addition, you can acquire skills in a wide range of fields.]
With this, his leveling speed will now greatly increase. Not to mention that he currently has consumed an Experience Increase Potion.
Feeling excited about this, Lexus became eager and proceeded to the next island while also constantly drawing the lottery. If the mission is about fighting monsters, one sword skill is more than enough for him to take care of them.
「 Isn't Mortality Sword more of a scam than my 100,000 Army Swordsmanship? 」
As Lexus was rejoicing about what he gained from the reputation store after using most of his 1,500,000 reputations, he heard Madra's voice.
Five hits dealing 8,000% attack power in just a single second? If he hit a target with all five attacks, he would cause 40,000% damage and additional 200% attack damage with the blockade effect in the last hit.
「 Of course, if the target isn't so weak to be killed by the first blow and a strong transcendent, they will try to block or dodge. 」
But the Mortality Sword, which was the result by the combination or the fusion in swordsmanship of 100,000 Army Massacre Sword, 100,000 Army Blockade Sword, Sword Dance Link and Matchless Swordsmanship that will summon a wave of black flames after the fifth attack, along with the blockade effect which allows him to deal additional magic damage.
With the Wave of Fire, he could expect more than 50,000% attack power. Who could handle that?
Except for high leveled boss monster, wouldn't Lexus able to deal with almost all enemies in one blow? Well since his swordsmanship retains the essence from Madra's swordsmanship which deal the ultimate attack damage in a single blow, this made the first style from his own swordsmanship very scary.
In particular, players with relatively low health in comparison to monsters wouldn't be able wouldn't be able to afford enduring this attack power.
It's truly is, a myth rated skill. A skill stronger than legendary skills and unquestionably an invincible skill. It was the strongest skill in the world where he could easily kill any enemy that stands in his way.
「 Well, I guess it's to be expected since the benevolent me and Duke of Wisdom Braham collaborated to perfect it along with your Intellectual King Solomon and Elder Lich Mumud whose talent doesn't fall behind mine. 」
Hearing the ego of the Undefeated King Madra, Lexus somehow felt a sting in his chest.
"You made it sound like I didn't help with the creation of this sword skill."
「 Oh, did you? 」
Lexus was lost in words. Now that he thinks about it, he didn't help in creating his Undefeated King's Swordsmanship at all but he just benefitted from the works of the greatest talents.
