101: Disaster is coming. Reality (1/4)

Inside the Thirteen Great Bandits' temporary encampment.

Tens of thousands of NPCs moved at the command. In just a few seconds, hundreds of teleportation arrays rose from the ground. Then, dense crowds of bandits appeared, rushing in from the ownerless lands of Qingzhou.

"All troops, await orders, prepare to depart, move out tomorrow."

"Once we take Luanxing City, we won't be bandits anymore."

"Officials! Officials! We want to be high-ranking officials!"

"Generals! Generals! We want to be military generals!"

......

Luanxing City's back street.

Li Si opened the attribute panel for his Calamity Knight.

[Calamity Knight] (Second Advancement)

Quality: Mythical

Skills: [Calamity Demonic Body max (Mythical)] [Calamity Arrival max (Mythical)]

New Skills: [Calamity Demonic Body · Blood Surge max (Mythical)] [Calamity Arrival · True max (Mythical)]

Description: A peerless legacy containing terrifying power of disaster. Players will automatically complete their Third Advancement upon reaching level 50, automatically unlocking more class skills.

Similar to the Great Wilderness Archer, the Second Advancement added two new skills, both at Mythical Tier max level.

Li Si clicked on the first new skill.

[Calamity Demonic Body · Blood Surge max]

Quality: Mythical

Passive: Maximum HP +60%, HP Recovery +300/s.

Description: Your blood essence is more condensed and robust, allowing you to control greater calamity.

Not bad.

For a Mythical Tier passive skill, the 60% percentage is decent, and the fixed 300 HP recovery is a bonus, slightly above average.

300 HP recovery looks like a lot.

But after acquiring Calamity Demonic Body · Blood Surge, Li Si's maximum HP was already close to 300,000. In the face of such high HP, 300 fixed recovery isn't much.

Li Si secretly tallied his HP bonuses.

Base HP: 112,428.

HP Gain: 159%. (bright moon armor +4%, Sacrifice for All Living Beings +10%, Skill - Life Scourge +50%, Calamity Demonic Body +30%, Calamity Demonic Body · Blood Surge +60%)

Maximum HP: 291,189.

“......”

By now, Li Si himself felt that his attributes were a bit abnormal. Especially the high HP combined with Skill - Life Scourge, it was simply a sure kill.

He was incredibly tanky while also dealing explosive damage.

And it was true damage; no matter how high a BOSS's defense, they would still lose HP obediently.

"Hehe—"

Li Si continued to open the second Mythical skill.

[Calamity Arrival · True max]

Quality: Mythical

Passive: Calamity Arrival's abnormal damage is converted to true damage, completely ignoring all defenses and damage reduction. (True damage is the highest level of damage, ignoring all defenses, ignoring all damage reduction. It is not reduced by any damage reduction, nor is it increased by any buffs.)

Description: After understanding the root of calamity, you have a deeper understanding of calamity's abnormal damage, allowing you to ignore the target's defense and deal damage to the target's origin.

"So that's the effect."

After Calamity Arrival converted to true damage, it would no longer receive the 100% bonus from the Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow, which would definitely be a weakening against regular monsters. But against high-tier BOSSes, this was an absolute massive enhancement.

Li Si felt this was quite good. Because against ordinary monsters, even without Calamity Arrival, he could clear them in large swathes.

"What's next?"

Li Si was at a loss. The guild's stronghold didn't need his management, the Abyssal Truth Society's minions had no direction, and Sacrifice for All Living Beings' path to Mythical was still long. For a short time, it seemed he had nothing to do.

Oh well, he might as well just forge some iron.

Anyway, he still had to go to Jinghai University's library at 2 o'clock to meet his parents' master.

Li Si decided to forge equipment to pass the time.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Clear hammering sounds echoed within Divine Smith Valley.

The Blazing Sky Craftsman's upgrade progress bar soared.

An hour later, the alarm rang; it was time for the meeting.

Li Si logged off directly, put on a T-shirt, shorts, and slippers, and rushed to the library.

"Chinese Dictionary."

"Chinese Dictionary."

"Chinese Dictionary."

He walked down the aisle inside the library, his eyes constantly scanning. Soon after, he was suddenly dumbfounded, because on the two tables in front and behind him, there was indeed a Chinese dictionary on each, and both happened to be girls.

"Ah? This...."

Li Si was a bit confused encountering this situation.

"Right, my mom said the young lady is very pretty, so it should be this one." He looked towards the Chinese dictionary with the more prominent chest.

The girl wore a black mask, which made her skin appear even fairer. Although her exact appearance couldn't be seen, the girl's eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful, so her appearance shouldn't be bad.

It just felt a bit strange to Li Si; he seemed to have a familiar feeling about this masked girl.

"Hello, excuse me, are you the master of Li Da Hai and Zhang Xian?"

"Yes."

The girl slowly nodded.

"Good."

Li Si sat down like an old man, slowly crossing his legs, looking like a street hooligan. He deliberately acted this way, wanting to make the girl retreat in the face of difficulty.

"Little beauty, take off your mask and let big brother take a look?"

...... The girl's eyes suddenly widened upon hearing this, revealing an incredibly astonished gaze. After about two seconds, the astonishment in her eyes dissipated, and then she raised her hand to remove her mask.

"Lin Miaomiao!?!"

Li Si immediately uncrossed his legs, and the rogue smile on his face disappeared. What was going on? Lin Miaomiao was actually his parents' master in the All Heavens Game. Wasn't this a joke?

"Li Si, hello."

"Hello."

A hint of awkwardness appeared on Li Si's face: "Sorry, I didn't know it was you."

"It's okay."

"Lin Miaomiao, let's leave it at that for today. Don't worry, I'll explain to my parents." Li Si stood up and quickly left. It was too embarrassing; his toes almost dug through the soles of his shoes.

"Hmph, he ran really fast, but there will be plenty of time in the future." A smile rose on Lin Miaomiao's lips. After knowing that Lin Tianhao sold the house across the street to Li Si, she was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night.

Moreover, she was very lucky to meet Li Si's parents in the game. With just a few small tricks, she managed to take Li Si's parents as her disciples. After easily hinting and guiding them, she obtained this meeting opportunity. Li Si was indeed a match made in heaven for her.

[Ding!]

[Lawless Madman, welcome back to the All Heavens Game. Wishing you a pleasant journey.]

Li Si returned to Divine Smith Valley.

"Let's continue forging."

First, forging equipment could earn money; second, it could raise the Blazing Sky Craftsman's level; third, it could improve the divine smith token's attributes.

Killing three birds with one stone, thus for Li Si, forging equipment yielded great returns.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations on your successful forging. Proficiency greatly increased.]

[Congratulations on your successful forging. Proficiency greatly increased.]

[Congratulations on your failed forging. Proficiency slightly increased.]

[Congratulations on your successful forging. Proficiency greatly increased.]

Time flowed, the moon and stars were sparse.

More than ten hours later, the Blazing Sky Craftsman leveled up to Lv4.

[Blazing Sky Craftsman Lv4]

Quality: Mythical

Skill [Heavenly Fire Lv4]: Communicate with heavenly fire to smelt materials. Currently, the highest quality material that can be smelted is Epic quality → Legendary quality materials.

Skill [Forging Lv4]: The base success rate for forging equipment is 50% → base success rate 65%. (Ordinary Blacksmith 8% → 12%).

Skill [Forging Technique — Level Adjustment]: ....

Skill [???]: Unlocked at Lv5.

Description: An advanced auxiliary class skilled in communicating with heavenly flames to forge equipment. Continuously forging equipment can increase class proficiency, upgrade skills, and unlock more attributes.

Not bad.

A significant improvement.

From this moment on, Li Si could forge up to Legendary-tier equipment. The prerequisite was having Legendary-tier blueprints and Legendary-tier materials.

"The divine smith token's progress bar is almost full."

Based on his previous forging experience, Li Si estimated that in another three hours, he would be able to upgrade the divine smith token's attributes.

"OK, keep going."

So, clang, clang, clang—

He picked up his forging hammer and continued to pound away.
