1629 Additional Challenge Gu Luo smiled bitterly in his heart when he saw Fang Heng easily take out three of the highest-tier brilliant crystals. Perfect-grade brilliant crystals were extremely rare. high-tier players would have to spend a lot of effort to find one, let alone normal people. Fang Heng easily took out three crystals. In addition to the one he had promised Fang Heng for free, he even had one more. Fang Heng had completed his task too perfectly. Originally, Gu Luo had thought that if Fang Heng did not have enough brilliant crystals, he could directly provide Fang Heng with all three brilliant crystals as an additional reward for the mission. Unexpectedly… Fang Heng saw the conflicted look on Gu Luo and could not help but ask, “Teacher? Is there anything else?” “No, it’s nothing. The brilliant crystal that I rewarded you can’t be traded. I don’t think you need it anymore, so I’m thinking about how to compensate you.” Gu Luo straightened his hunched body, his expression solemn. “Let’s talk about this later. Let’s start enhancing our talent first. Relax and let go of your sea of consciousness.” “Yes, Teacher!” Gu Luo gently stretched out his hand and pressed it on Fang Heng’s forehead. A game notification appeared on Fang Heng’s retina. [Hint: Settlement in progress. The player has submitted a special storyline character-Viona’s soul. The storyline character’s soul has been determined to be demigod-level… The player has perfectly completed the talent advancement guidance mission. Character completion rate: 5,600%. Rating: SSS.] [Hint: Judging…] [Hint: Judgement complete. Based on the player’s current talent, please choose one of the following three perfect talent enhancement effects.] Additional talent enhancement effect 1 (Passive, can be canceled): Life diversion. Additional talent enhancement effect 2 (Passive, can be canceled): Mutant infection. Additional talent enhancement effect 3 (Active, passive, can be canceled): High-efficiency evolution. Fang Heng looked at the game notifications and frowned. These three innate skills were all determined by the system to be the highest level of advancement. The trouble was that, just like the first time he upgraded his talent, the system only provided him with a name. There was almost no explanation. Fang Heng found it hard to judge their strength from their names. It seemed like… Would it be better to choose efficient evolution? Fang Heng remembered that when he first evolved talent skill, there was also the option of “efficient evolution”. At first, he had chosen to multiply rapidly and increase the number of zombie clones by a large margin. In terms of the final practical effect, Fang Heng was quite satisfied with his choice. The explosive increase in the number of zombies had directly improved his various abilities. On the other hand, he was not too sure about the specifics of the ‘high-efficiency evolution’. After all, some skills might look scary, but their actual effects were very normal or even terrible. Of course, the game’s default options at this stage were all SSS-level rewards that were most suitable for talent enhancement, so they naturally wouldn’t be bad. But it might not be suitable for him. Fang Heng fell into deep thought again. Thus, it was time for the troublesome one-of-three segment. Which one should he choose? High-efficient evolution? After all, this skill could be used both actively and passively. The other two were passive. “Well? Is it hard to decide?” 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 Fang Heng was hesitating. He raised his head and looked at Teacher Gu Luo. “Teacher, do you have any suggestions?” “Fang Heng, you completed the mission I gave you perfectly, and your completion rate far exceeded my expectations. In return, I can give you an additional reward test.” Fang Heng raised his eyebrows. “Of course, please instruct me, Teacher.” “You must know that the reward for the Level 40 perfect talent advancement mission is to choose one of the two options after you choose today.” Teacher Gu Luo said slowly, “The content of the test I’m giving you is very simple. I’ll give you a month’s time. Within a month, raise your character level to Level 40. At that time, when you undergo your third talent advancement, you can directly come to me. I’ll exempt you from the Level 40 talent advancement mission and pay you according to the completion rate of the highest level.” Gu Luo’s face was gentle as he continued, “Not only that, but you can also obtain the remaining two talent enhancement effects at the same time.” [Hint: Due to the player’s perfect completion of the mission, the player has obtained a special reward mission-level-up challenge. This mission cannot be abandoned. If the mission is not completed after the time is up, the mission will fail.] Mission title: Level-up challenge. Mission description: You have completed the advancement mission perfectly and received a reward. Please level up your character to Level 40 within 30 days. Mission reward: Complete the Level 40 talent advancement mission with the highest rating and obtain the remaining two highest-level talent enhancement effects. Penalty for failure: None. Fang Heng’s pupils constricted when he saw the game notification. There was such a good thing? Working hard to reach the highest level of mission completion was indeed worth it! Originally, when he was Level 40 and had his talent enhanced for the third time, he would have to accept the game’s difficulties again. Now, not only could he avoid the Level 40 talent advancement mission, but he could also obtain an additional talent enhancement effect! The only thing he needed to do was to reach Level 40 within a month! Was it difficult? Fang Heng felt that it was not difficult. One had to know that the talent advancement mission was extremely troublesome. Moreover, one had to obtain an SSS-level evaluation, which increased the difficulty by hundreds of times. In comparison, reaching Level 40 within a month was more to his liking. After all, he had his zombie clones and had more ways to complete missions than other normal players! Not to mention, after reaching Level 40, he could also obtain an additional perfect level talent advancement reward! Fang Heng’s heart started to beat wildly. Complete it! He had to complete it no matter what! If he couldn’t complete it in the intermediate game, he would complete it in the advanced game world! It wasn’t like he hadn’t been to the advanced game world before. It was very dangerous, but it was just like that! Fang Heng kept his excitement and his eyes gradually calmed down. “Thank you for your trust in me, Teacher. I will definitely work hard to complete it!” “You’re welcome. This is what you deserve.” Teacher Gu Luo smiled and replied, “Now, you can make your choice.” “Yes.” Fang Heng calmed himself down and looked at the talent enhancement options on his retina again. Which one to choose? It was too difficult to choose. Forget it, he would be able to strengthen the remaining two talents soon anyway. He would just randomly choose one for now! Fang Heng no longer hesitated and chose a strengthening plan with an intimidating name. High-efficiency evolution. It sounded like it was related to the evolution of the zombie clones. It was it! It was the only skill that could be released automatically! “Teacher, I choose efficient evolution.” “Not a bad choice. Close your eyes and don’t resist.” Teacher Gu Luo nodded approvingly, and a gentle light blossomed from his hand.
