72: Record reward, S-level mirror copy

“The Novice assessment has officially ended. Your assessment points are being calculated…”

“Congratulations, you have accumulated 365,113,258 assessment points, breaking the all-time record for Novice assessments.”

“You have received rewards: Resource Chest * 10 million, Mythical-grade Building * 1, Exclusive S-grade Talent Selection Chest * 1, Exclusive Top-tier Lord Skill Chest * 1, Customizable Tier 7 Troops Altar Chest * 1!”

“Your glorious deeds will be announced to all competition zones. Do you wish to remain anonymous?”

“No, do not remain anonymous.”

“World Announcement: Congratulations to Lord Li Feng [Calamity Controller] from Dragon Country for breaking the total assessment point record! Let us cheer for him!”

This time, it wasn't a competition zone announcement.

It was a World Announcement!

All Novice Lords across the world who had survived heard this World Announcement.

At the same time, they also saw Li Feng's terrifyingly high score.

“Holy crap, someone actually broke the total point record! This record hasn't been broken for five hundred years.”

“My God, over three hundred million total points! That's several times more than the previous record.”

“Impossible! How could a mere Dragon Countryman break Lord Goethe's record? He is the greatest Godly Lord of The Empire of the Setting Sun! This is absolutely impossible.”

“Aish, what Dragon Country? He's clearly a Lord from my Universe Country.”

“…”

Lords all over the world were stunned.

Everyone couldn't believe what they heard and saw.

Li Feng himself was also stunned.

He hadn't expected such generous rewards for breaking the point record.

Among the five rewards, the Resource Chest was undoubtedly the most common.

The Mythical-grade Building was a direct gift of a ready-made structure, requiring no resources from Li Feng for construction.

This alone was far more generous than the first-place reward for the Novice assessment.

The subsequent Exclusive S-grade Talent Selection Chest gave Li Feng an even bigger surprise.

“Exclusive S-grade Talent Selection Chest”

“Quality: S-grade”

“Effect: After opening the chest, you can freely choose an S-grade talent.”

“Description: Exclusive chest, cannot be opened by outsiders… After opening this chest, Li Feng can freely choose an S-grade talent.”

Li Feng immediately chose to open the chest, and thousands of S-grade talents instantly appeared.

To make it easier for Li Feng to choose,

the chest also categorized all talents.

There were four main types: Offensive Talents, Defensive Talents, Support Talents, and Special Talents.

Li Feng first glanced at the Offensive Talents.

“Lava Power: Troops and heroes under your command will attach Lava Power to every attack, dealing high fire-attribute damage to enemies.”

There were also Frost Power, Thunder Power, Gale Power… Talents in this category essentially added a powerful attack skill to all Troops.

Li Feng merely glanced at them before losing interest and looking away.

He wasn't considering Offensive Talents.

Although choosing one would significantly boost his overall strength,

high-tier War Treasures could also provide such powerful skills.

Perhaps most Lords were mediocre and might never acquire a War Treasure in their lifetime, let alone a high-tier War Treasure.

But clearly, Li Feng was destined not to be mediocre.

Forget the distant future; he already possessed four War Treasures right now, two of which were Tier 6 War Treasures.

He believed that given time,

he would eventually acquire higher-quality War Treasures, and even the legendary war artifacts!

Subsequently, he looked at Defensive and Support Talents, which were basically similar to Offensive Talents.

They all added a powerful skill to all Troops, just in different directions.

After eliminating these three types of talents, Li Feng's gaze finally settled on Special Talents.

Upon seeing them, he immediately became interested.

This type of talent was indeed very special.

For example, 'Rolling Wealth'.

A Lord with this talent would receive gold coins every day upon waking up, and would also receive additional gold coins when mining gold or plundering others.

Another example was 'Cycle of Seasons'.

A Lord with this talent would have the seasons change every three days within his territory, with each season having different characteristics.

In spring, the vitality of all Troops would increase.

In summer, the attack power of all Troops would increase.

In spring, the cooldown for spawning Troops would decrease.

In winter, any enemy attacking friendly units would be slowed.

There was also 'Purple Qi from the East'.

A Lord with this talent would have purple qi appear every morning in his territory.

Troops and heroes absorbing the purple qi would gain experience.

Lords absorbing the purple qi could strengthen their bodies, extend their lifespan, and the gems required for leveling up would also decrease accordingly.

Special-type talents each had their unique uses.

Li Feng drooled, wishing he could have them all.

Suddenly, Li Feng's gaze fixed on one particular talent.

“Mirror Replication”

“Quality: S-grade”

“Effect: The number of any Troops you summon is multiplied by ten…” Compared to the other special talents above, Mirror Replication's effect was very simple.

But it instantly captivated Li Feng.

This meant that for the cost of one, he could summon ten times the number of Troops.

For other Lords, summoning Troops had a cooldown, so while this talent was good, it was definitely not the best choice.

But Li Feng had the Zerg Scourge.

Summoning Zerg Troops had no cooldown.

This Mirror Replication was practically a tailor-made talent for him!

Thinking of this, Li Feng decisively chose Mirror Replication.

“You have obtained S-grade Talent: Mirror Replication!”

Li Feng immediately tried it out, consuming 1 gold coin to remotely summon 1 Beedrill.

His vision moved to the second basement level of the castle, staring intently at the Giant Needle Bee Altar.

The next moment, 10 Beedrill flew out from the altar.

It was indeed ten times the summoning!

This made Li Feng overjoyed.

During the recent monster siege, he had acquired 1.1 million gold coins.

Previously, he could only summon 1.1 million Beedrill.

But now, he could summon 11 million Beedrill.

Currently, the million Beedrill under his command already blotted out the sky.

If he were to summon another ten million Beedrill, the thought alone was spectacular.

Li Feng was excited, but in the end, he managed to forcefully restrain himself.

The food consumption of a million Beedrill was already terrifying.

After acquiring the Zombie Hand earlier, he had impulsively summoned so many.

Now, his daily food consumption was an astronomical figure.

If it weren't for the Beedrill's not-too-large size,

if it weren't for his ample food reserves from before,

who knows how many Troops would have starved to death.

In the short term, he didn't plan to expand his Beedrill army further.

A million Beedrill, each stronger than conventional Tier 6 Troops, were already sufficient.

Now, what he needed more were elite Troops.

For example, the Customizable Tier 7 Troops Altar Chest he had just received as a reward…
