Golden Talent

Forty-eight orange arrows.

Not counting the time spent preparing materials.

Just forging and devouring took Yang Jian seven or eight days... Of course, he wasn't just doing that during those days.

One orange arrow took about two hours.

If he only did that, it wouldn't take so long!

Not to mention the fragmented time spent watching short videos, he also accomplished many important things.

For example, he also went to the West Continent and was ganged up on.

Then, outside Phoenix City, he caused a river of blood... Of course, Yang Jian didn't suffer any losses.

After he went offline, he arranged for Zhu Zhongliang to hype up the public opinion that he was going to retaliate... Only then did these people remember.

Tianmu Zhenjun was not a soft persimmon that they could bully at will.

He had the ability to deal with them in reality!

Finally, under the mediation of the Xia and Mi countries.

The three major consortiums resolved this unpleasant incident at the cost of one billion Mi dollars each!

Actually, Yang Jian was very reasonable.

Game matters should be resolved within the game.

Even if they didn't pay, Yang Jian wouldn't bring the grudges from the game into the real world.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be chaos?

Ibe Jiro's death was because he himself broke the rules!

If you want to compete offline, I'll join you in a real-life offline PK.

If you want to play online encirclement, I'll accept it all!

Retaliation would only take place within the game.

But the people from the three major families didn't believe it!

So, when the people from the three major consortiums came to transfer money with their accountants.

Yang Jian personally received them.

"What are you doing? Let's not bring our game grudges out here..."

The face of the bald white man leading the team was stiff with a smile.

"Right! Right! Right!"

"As high-level players in the game, we must uphold the relevant bottom lines of the game!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Don't do this next time! I was planning to go to the West Continent to cause trouble for you, but now I'm too embarrassed to go!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

The bald man was submissive on the surface.

But he had a lot of internal thoughts.

'Do you dare say the online news wasn't released by you?'

'Do you dare say those death threats weren't issued by you?'

'We're all old foxes, why are you pretending to be a good guy here!'

These words were only not said by the bald man to his face.

You gather hundreds of thousands of people to attack me, and you won't even let me complain a little?

I just babbled a few words online, what did I do?

You yourselves have a guilty conscience and insist on sending me money... In fact, real-world currency no longer held much significance for Yang Jian.

After all, whether it was Mo Suqing or Long Ruoling.

Both were eager to throw money into Lingyun Studio.

Even if there were no benefits, they were happy to gain a reputation.

Because of these delays from in-game and out-of-game matters.

Yang Jian was delayed for several days before officially completing his talent upgrade.

【Talent: Devour (Gold)】

【Description: Devour a gold-grade or lower equipment that is not higher than your level, inherit all attributes of the equipment, stackable infinitely.】

【Cooling down: Remaining time: 57:49】

【Upgrade conditions: 0/50 (Only gold-grade equipment counts towards upgrade conditions)】

【Current Devoured Attributes: Strength +33990, Agility +41070, Endurance +35900, Intelligence +4290, Attack +20580, Defense +28070... True Damage +49000, Additional Damage to Abyssal Monster +49000】

【Skill: Deception】

Yang Jian looked at his talent attributes.

Finally, nearly three months after the game launched.

Yang Jian finally caught up with the first tier in talent level.

Although in the process of catching up, countless players with gold talents were slain by him.

But gold just looked cooler than orange!

The talent issue was resolved.

Next, he needed to quickly find a place to farm Abyssal Essence until it exploded!

Actually, on the Eastern Continent side.

The gathering points of Abyssal Monsters overseas had already been discovered by the Xia Kingdom's official authorities.

The one who provided important intelligence, of course, was Long Ruoling.

In fact, she also submitted a copy of the relevant intelligence to the Lingyun Guild.

But it had to be said.

Irregular forces from unofficial channels just weren't as effective as regular armies!

Even if their strength was superior, they didn't have as many relevant talents.

On the Eastern Continent side, there were a total of two Abyssal entrances.

Yes, entrances... One was on an island west of the continent.

This location was discovered by several batches of people sent out to sea by the Xia Kingdom's official authorities.

The other was on White Stone Mountain, called Demon Abyss Valley.

This was found by Yang Jian himself two days ago.

There weren't any particularly strong BOSSes stationed here now.

Yang Jian found that, in fact, all signs indicated.

The Pantheon and the Abyssal Demon Gods had a great understanding in many aspects.

The higher-ups set a framework.

The lower-level figures all played within this framework!

Of course, if one side showed a flaw, then it was game over!

Kaz'garoth died that way!

Although there were no powerful BOSSes stationed there.

The structure of Demon Abyss Valley was very obvious.

The outer perimeter consisted of level 45 Abyssal Elites, mixed with elite monsters.

Inside were level 50, 55, and 60, layered upon layer!

As Yang Jian even flew over their heads, hundreds of arrows and magic spells tracked and shot at him.

Therefore, actively attacking was temporarily not advisable.

After all, in the New World, Yang Jian would face level suppression.

With so many Abyssal Monsters gathered together.

For Yang Jian, the probability of flipping over was too high.

So he could only wait for them to attack!

They would definitely attack.

If the Abyssal Army could fully occupy the entire Eastern Continent.

Then they could cut off the Eastern Continent's teleportation and drag the entire continent into the Abyss.

In every battle, everyone actually had relatively equal opportunities.

Blue Star players could get opportunities to transcend.

The Blue Star Will had the greatest chance of ascending to godhood.

The Abyss also had the chance to obtain a massive amount of fuel... Of course, as long as there was conflict, the most miserable and suffering would always be the lower classes!

Unfortunately, no one would listen to their complaints and suffering... Yang Jian could only move forward, unable to stop!

Therefore.

He decided not to move these Abyssal Monsters on the Eastern Continent for now, while they were still gathering and not yet dispersed.

And those sporadic invaders on Blue Star were all entrusted to Zhou Yue.

After all, the benefits here were quite substantial.

Yang Jian himself decided to go to other worlds to devour Abyssal Essence.

The first choice was still the Tian Yao Realm!

On one hand, Yang Jian was relatively familiar with the Tian Yao Realm.

Secondly, Bamboo Leaf had a blood feud with the Abyss of the Tian Yao Realm.

After all, he was now considered his top subordinate, so he had to give him this much face... 【Iron-Eating Beast Bamboo Leaf (Orange), Pet of Tianmu Zhenjun】

【Beast, Demon Race, LV40】

【Health: 20 million / 20 million】

【Talents: Bronze Skin Iron Bones (Shared): Bamboo Leaf and master receive 60% less damage from all sources; Life Link: Connected to master's health, both share a health bar; Bear Claw Sweep (Passive): Normal attacks come with a sweeping effect, attacking all surrounding enemy units. (Can be freely toggled off)】

【Class: Druid (Perfect)】

【Advancement Requirements: Jade Spirit Bamboo (Orange) 0/30, Purple Thorn Spirit Bamboo (Orange) 0/30, Heaven-Reaching Grass (Gold) 0/3, Titan Divine Iron (Gold) 0/1】

Let's put aside these damn advancement requirements for now.

Just the damage sharing evolving into a life link... Yang Jian gained an additional 20 million health in one go!

Originally, purple quality Bamboo Leaf gained 200,000 health per level.

Now that it was orange quality, it gained 500,000 health per level!

Crucially, the Bronze Skin Iron Bones talent was also shared with Yang Jian.

What did that mean?

Not counting his own BUG-level armor value.

Yang Jian could now reduce 60% of damage even in bare equipment!

So, this health gain not only had quantity but also sufficiently high quality!

If he were to advance again... Of course, the idea was wonderful.

But not counting the two gold materials, Heaven-Reaching Grass and Titan Divine Iron.

Just the Jade Spirit Bamboo and Purple Thorn Spirit Bamboo, these two orange materials, he hadn't even heard of.

It was normal for Yang Jian not to have heard of them.

But for Bamboo Leaf not to have heard of them was quite frustrating.

After all, to be honest, the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest Sea had many varieties of bamboo.

They had even given Yang Jian orange quality purple-white-gold-green jade bamboos... Of course, their names were Purple Jade Bamboo, White Jade Bamboo...

Life is not easy, pandas sigh!

Since his big helper couldn't temporarily help him with advancement.

Then he should at least provide emotional value.

Where wasn't he fighting the Abyss?

Why not go vent Bamboo Leaf's anger?

So, you are the chosen one!

Tian Yao Realm... Of course, Yang Jian was not alone.

Blue Star and New World were his base.

So leaving wasn't as simple as just packing up and going.

He still had to rearrange the guild's upcoming tasks.

First and foremost was the guild's level problem.

After Yang Jian's intensive feeding of guild tokens during this period.

The time for Star Palace to upgrade from level two to level three was not far off.

【Name: Star Palace, LV2】

【Guild Leader: Tianmu Zhenjun】

【Vice Guild Leaders: 3/4】

【Officers: 15/15】

【Members: 15000/15000】

【Guild Points: 8673270 / 10 million】

...【Affiliated Guild: Stars Pavilion, LV2】

Because of the first guild reward, Star Palace had 50% more members at each level than other guilds.

This difference was huge.

Indeed, every world's first guild received this treatment.

Calculating 10 points per person per day, the guild would reach level three in at most eight or nine more days.

And a few days ago, Yang Jian had been farming level 40 Golden BOSSes all over the world.

He dropped a bunch of basic buildings for outdoor strongholds.

There were even many duplicate building blueprints.

It didn't matter if he didn't use them; they could be used to build branch guild strongholds in the future.

After all, although Stars Pavilion was a bit slow to upgrade.

It was still much faster than most ordinary guilds in the world!

After instructing the high-ranking members of Star Palace on the work arrangements for the next few tens of days.

Yang Jian once again stepped onto the teleportation array for planar travel!

He checked the progress of his physical transformation!

0.01%!

Can't bear to look, let's go!
