“Shen Lu,” a mysterious game that descended upon Lan Xing 20 years ago. Only one million spots are available each month. Once you become a player, you gain extraordinary power and rise to the top of society. ...... Ling Yi awakens the Super Mutation System. From consumables to divine artifacts, everything can be mutated! Once the mutation potential reaches perfection, he can even mutate multiple abilities comparable to a “golden finger”! By mutating the “Luck +1” talent, he gains the game-breaking ability—Probability Reversal! A 10% probability flips to 90%! A 0.1% drop rate becomes 99.9% for him! By mutating the “Eye of True Vision,” he gains the game-breaking ability—Eye of Truth! Not only can he see invisible units, but he can also view hidden information about items! In addition to these, there’s “Malice Manifestation,” which turns others’ ill will into voice-over commentary, and the “Intelligence-Lowering Aura,” which continuously reduces enemies’ intelligence… One year later.
Chapter 30: 2nd Place: Agile Stance
Dash in a specified direction and enhance your next attack. Useful for both charging in and escaping—its applications are endless. 1st Place: Elemental Spirit Blade Creates an elemental energy weapon that can be attached to a physical weapon, boosting its power. The support skill that countless sword masters have long dreamed of—it delivers immense power regardless of the player’s level. “Elemental Spirit Blade?” Ling Yi looked at the description, somewhat puzzled. Is creating an energy weapon really that powerful? Why is it ranked number one? However, he noticed that many of the comments below expressed agreement. “Among melee support skills, Elemental Spirit Blade is truly a god-tier skill.” “When in doubt, use Elemental Spirit Blade.” “Seriously, I used to think this skill wasn’t that great, until I ran into someone who had it. Damn, that really hurt!” “Yeah, especially the lightning-type one—that single hit really tore my skin to shreds.” “Just being able to conjure a weapon out of thin air is impressive enough—after all, good weapons are worth their weight in gold...” Reading these comments, Ling Yi nodded slightly. “Then I’ll choose that as my first Support Skill.” Although Support Skills are meant for the target they’re supporting, the owner can still use them as usual. He quickly closed the forum. Ling Yi spoke into the air in front of him: “I’m activating the Support Trial.” The next moment. Shen Lu, having received the player’s request, projected a light screen before him. The screen displayed row after row of Support Trial scenarios; different scenarios would drop different Support Skills. Ling Yi swiped right for quite a while before finally finding the trial scenario that could drop the “Elemental Spirit Blade.” [Fire, Earth, and Wind Storm] [Trial Requirement: Kill as many monsters as possible within 10 minutes] [Possible Support Skills: Lava Eruption, Gentle Breeze, Earthquake, Fertile Soil Domain, Elemental Spirit Blade] Support skills are dropped randomly upon clearing the trial. Each of the five skills has its own drop rate. “Ugh… It’d be a bummer if I got any of the other skills.” Before tapping, Ling Yi took another anxious look at the detailed drop rates. Lava Eruption—50% Gentle Breeze—30% Earthquake—15% Fertile Land—4% Elemental Spirit Blade—1% “Only one percent? Then I can rest easy.” What would be a cause for despair for others was, to Ling Yi, a cause for celebration. This time, he didn’t hesitate at all and clicked straight into the “Fire-Earth-Wind Storm” trial scene. 10 minutes later. [Congratulations on successfully completing the “Fire-Earth Storm” trial scene] [In this trial, you defeated a total of 303 monsters and earned an S-rank rating! ] [Congratulations on obtaining the Support Skill: Elemental Spirit Blade (S)] As soon as he returned from the trial space, Ling Yi couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Then he exhaled heavily. “Phew—” “That ‘Fire-Earth Storm’ trial scenario had such a brutal environment.” The moment he stepped inside, he was hit in the face by a torrent of sand and dust swirling everywhere. It was as if he were caught in a terrifying sandstorm. He couldn’t keep his footing, and his vision was completely obscured. Under these conditions, any other player of his level would likely struggle to kill even a single monster. Fortunately, he had [Starfall], a long-range attack. No need to worry about the details—just firing Flame Stars all around was enough. He held out like this for 10 minutes and finally managed to kill over three hundred monsters. The difficulty of the Support Trial depends on the player’s level. The higher the player’s level, the higher the difficulty. Since his level is still low right now, clearing the trial this way is ideal. Ling Yi looked down at his clothes and saw they were just as clean as before. He nodded slightly and said, “Do they get automatically cleaned as soon as I come back?” “Or do they stay in the same condition as when I went in?” When he first came out, his clothes and hair were still covered in mud and sand. Now, the moment he stepped out, they were just as clean as before.
