Chapter 127: Chapter 122: Yan Yingyue’s Abnormal Ability! (1/5)_1 「The outside world...」 Seeing it had already been the nineteenth day, many teachers began to discuss. "The performance of these two youngsters has been truly exceptional in recent years. I wonder if they have a chance to make history." "I’m afraid it’s quite difficult. The missions that start on the nineteenth day are typically collective in nature. With only the two of them left in the dungeon now, it’s likely their journey will end here." "I wonder when the next person who can survive into the twentieth day will appear." "We’ll cross that bridge when someone capable of creating thousands of avatars appears." "Even if their journey ends here, their performance this time has been very impressive and certainly worth remembering. In particular, their speed in taking down the SS level Flying BOSS is something we’ve never seen before." Some time later, seeing the changes to the leaderboard, the teachers’ original speculations were finally confirmed to some extent. "It appears Yan Yingyue’s ability truly does enhance the combat power of summoning-type professions." "Yep, there was nothing to see on the leaderboard before, but this time it’s glaringly apparent." "That being said, this leaderboard is a bit unfair to support-type professions. In reality, Yan Yingyue played the main role, not Chen Mo. Yet, all the kills were attributed to Chen Mo, so he’s been topping the charts alone the whole time." "They might have agreed to split the hidden rewards, so it’s not a matter of fairness. If you bring value to the team, others naturally won’t underestimate you. The result would be the same anyway." Because the nineteenth day brought a group mission, the daily mission board’s calculation method differed from before. It no longer displayed how many rounds of missions each person completed but instead gave the specific kill count for each person. Currently, only Yan Yingyue and Chen Mo were left in the dungeon. However, only Chen Mo’s name on the leaderboard saw a constant rise in kill count. Yan Yingyue had not killed a single monster. This was why the teachers were having these discussions. Half a day later, seeing that Chen Mo’s kill count had reached seven hundred, the teachers couldn’t help but exchange glances. "It has already come so far, and he is still keeping up this pace!" "They might really have a chance to break the historical record this time." "He killed seven hundred in half a day. Judging from missions in previous years, today’s mission should require between one thousand and one thousand five hundred kills. If he can kill seven hundred in half a day, there’s indeed a significant chance he can complete it." "Are we about to witness history being made?" At this point, only a handful of people were left in the other two dungeons. However, the difficulty of those two dungeons was no match for the Five Spirits Gathering Dungeon. The highest survival record there was a full 30 days. So, not many people paid close attention to the latter two dungeons. Everyone’s main focus was still on the Five Spirits Gathering Dungeon. Now, a new record might be born right before their eyes, and everyone watching was naturally much more invested. 「In the dungeon, Chen Mo was laboring to kill monsters.」 One thousand BOSSes, back and forth, had taken Chen Mo almost 17 hours to finish off. On average, it took almost a minute to take down each one. The main problem was the BOSS’s mutating ability. Each time the BOSS mutated, it would enter an Invincible State, and only after it had finished transforming could they continue their attack. If they encountered a BOSS that didn’t mutate, they could kill it quickly, within ten seconds. However, if they encountered one that mutated, it would waste at least five seconds each time. Adding up all these wasted periods cost them a lot of time. This was what left Chen Mo speechless. We have to use 17 hours to finish the mission on the nineteenth day. It seems unlikely that we can survive until the thirtieth day. Chen Mo started considering whether he should upgrade his Skill Level. If he increased his Skill Level, his combat power would increase significantly, and his efficiency would also improve considerably. Just as Chen Mo was thinking this, Yan Yingyue suddenly blushed and said in a soft voice, "I have a method that can enhance your attributes, but it will cause you to continuously lose Health." "Lose Health? The thing I’m least afraid of is losing Health. Tell me," Chen Mo promptly responded with a smile. With the Heart Pendant and Pioneer’s ability, he could restore 40% of his maximum life value per second. Moreover, he also had the Shared Fate ability. If he were to lose Health, the Skeleton Monster he summoned would lose Health first. As long as there was a way to enhance his attributes, he wouldn’t be afraid of losing Health. "I have an ability that can directly possess you, increasing your attributes by an amount equal to my own attribute values, and letting you use my Skills and benefit from my passive abilities." "Being able to increase my attributes by an amount equal to your attribute values is pretty good!" After all, Yan Yingyue was a five-star professional, so her attributes couldn’t be bad. Her profession was in the same magic system as his, and she would surely assign points favoring Wisdom and Spirit, making her very compatible with him. With her attribute values added to his, the Skeleton Monster’s combat power could also be significantly improved. More importantly, he could also use her Skills and benefit from the passive abilities she possessed, which would be incredibly powerful. "It’s not just by one multiple of my attributes," Yan Yingyue corrected him. "What!? Then by how many multiples can it increase at most?" "Infinite multiples." "Infinite multiples!? How is that possible!" Chen Mo was dumbfounded when he heard this. Is it real? "Actually, it’s not truly infinite. The multiple it increases by is equal to my Level." "You’re Level 10 now, so that means it can increase my attributes by an amount equal to ten times your attribute values. That’s pretty insane! How long does it last?" "The duration is truly infinite this time. Unless you consciously dismiss it, or I consciously revoke it, it can keep going. But the longer it lasts, the bigger the trade-off." "That’s crazy!? So, what’s the specific trade-off?" "The trade-off is that, during the time I’m possessing you, you’ll lose 1% of your maximum life value as Health every second! The higher the enhancement multiple, the faster the Health is lost. For every additional multiple of enhancement, an extra 1% of your maximum life value as Health is deducted per second! Furthermore, if the possession lasts for more than 30 minutes, for every subsequent 30-minute period, the Health deduction rate increases by an additional 1% of your maximum life value per second! This Health deduction cannot be immunized, transferred, or reduced!" "So, if my attributes are increased by ten times your values, I will lose 10% of my maximum life value as Health per second!" "Yes, that’s how it is." "According to what you’ve just said, this Health deduction effect can’t be immunized, transferred, or reduced, so indeed the trade-off is quite substantial." "There’s one more trade-off: if you die while the effect is active, I will die with you." "What about the Cooldown period?" "The Cooldown is a fixed 30 minutes and cannot be reduced." "The effect is certainly powerful, and the trade-off is also significantly high. But no problem, I can afford to lose 10% of my maximum life value as Health per second. Let’s give it a try." "10%? You’re planning to go straight for a ten-multiple increase!?" "Did you forget the pendant I just got?" Yan Yingyue had seen the attributes of the Heart Pendant. Thinking of this, she nodded immediately with relief.
