159: The secret of combat power, hidden job transfer is fully unlocked

“Now we go to them… to war?!”

Bai Shuya was slightly stunned, then said anxiously, “No!”

“Don’t you know that’s a feint?”

“What if something happens…”

“Yan Yan, why are you pulling me? Can’t I say this?”

“If something happens to him, what will we use to resist the powerhouses of the Sacred Light Kingdom?”

“What?”

“Let me check the rankings?”

“No matter how I look at the rankings, he can’t…”

Bai Shuya clicked open the rankings, and her voice grew even louder.

“Look, look, his combat power suddenly dropped by tens of millions again, so there’s no way he can just go out casually~”

Huh?

Yan Yan’s beautiful eyes swiveled, and she said incredulously, “His combat power can drop? Why don’t… you check again?”

“No matter how I look at it, it won’t be 2 billion, right?” Bai Shuya didn’t disbelieve it, but rather found it utterly impossible to believe.

2 billion?

What kind of concept was that?!

The combined combat power of all the ranked powerhouses in all countries wasn’t enough to reach that number!

One hundred percent not enough.

This wasn’t a matter of numbers, but a matter of logic.

Because it was impossible.

One had to know.

Just now, Lin Ye had only increased his combat power by 300 million after changing a few Primordial-grade pieces of equipment.

And now?

He had only updated some gems and casually had Tu Xiusi craft a few Mythical-grade pieces of equipment.

That’s it?

A sudden surge of over a billion combat power?

How was that possible?!

The ranking system also had something to say~

We’re playing with values here; whatever it should be, it is.

One piece of Mythical-grade equipment is ten million combat power.

You can’t just gain hundreds of millions of combat power from a few Mythical-grade pieces, can you?

“You… with you like this, it’s hard to understand how I ever believed you could manage money…” Yan Yan helplessly massaged her forehead.

Seriously or joking?

Seeing her speak so gravely, Bai Shuya finally wavered a little and looked at the rankings again…

123456789… 10?!

10 digits?

“You… you, you, you…”

Bai Shuya was completely dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

“Where did you get 2 billion combat power?!”

Unbelievable.

Lin Ye clearly hadn’t done anything at home, so how did his combat power suddenly skyrocket to 2 billion?

“This… this can’t be, right?”

Even after seeing the rankings, Bai Shuya still found it hard to believe.

“Do you have something, like something that only increases combat power… uh, no, something that only increases the combat power value but doesn’t increase actual combat power?”

“Or is it… is it equipment beyond the Primordial level?”

“If there’s something like that, one piece should be worth 1 billion combat power, right?”

Heh~

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly: “I already said, this combat power system is just a very simple estimation, it only calculates the most basic panel values.”

“What do you mean?” Bai Shuya didn’t understand.

“It means that if Primordial-grade equipment doesn’t add to the actual panel, it can only get the basic equipment combat power rating.”

Lin Ye finished speaking.

Bai Shuya’s CPU immediately started to smoke a little: “Primordial-grade equipment, no panel addition? What kind of equipment… doesn’t add to the panel?”

Su Wanting, however, understood.

“Lin Ye’s meaning is that Primordial-grade equipment all have special affixes that cannot be displayed on the basic panel, while lower-tier equipment, because their affixes are common, instead provide a large amount of attributes and panel values.”

Bai Shuya recognized every word and understood them all, but she couldn’t combine them into a comprehensible piece of information.

“Can the basic attributes provided by Mythical-grade equipment be over 100 million?”

“If so, then the rating value of Primordial-grade equipment not only fails to increase combat power but might even cause it to decrease?”

Uh?

Better equipment, higher tier, yet the combat power rating decreases—this was clearly unreasonable.

Su Wanting was also stunned now, muttering to herself, “Logically speaking, the system’s combat power rating shouldn’t have this kind of situation, right?”

“Theoretically, that’s how it is, and for most players, it should be sufficient.”

Mythical-grade.

A pure 300% attribute bonus.

Even after being multiplied several times by the combat power algorithm, it’s impossible for it to exceed 100 million.

However.

If it’s 300% Constitution, then an additional 300% maximum HP, and finally multiplied by the number of class advancements after the algorithm, then that’s a different story entirely.

Lin Ye opened his panel.

Current HP…

500 million!

Almost all of the combat power increase came from the HP boost.

Attribute growth was certainly not small, but for combat power increase, it was at most ten to twenty million.

500 million HP.

This single panel attribute, multiplied by the 3 class advancements, could grant Lin Ye a full 1.5 billion combat power.

“Oh~ So that’s how it is…”

Bai Shuya finally understood.

“So it’s HP, huh?”

“500 million HP, that’s… that’s…”

Mid-sentence.

She couldn’t continue.

Feeling wronged.

500 million HP?

This… isn’t this even more terrifying than a BOSS?

She had played until now, let alone seeing, she hadn’t even heard of any BOSS having 500 million HP!

“Ah~ I get it!”

Su Wanting let out a soft gasp of surprise and explained to everyone, “I know why the combat power of Empire players is relatively low.”

“Why?”

Su Wanting: “Because in this combat power algorithm, HP and MP provide the most basic value and are also the easiest attributes to obtain. However, among these two attributes, the difficulty of obtaining HP is clearly higher than that of MP.”

Hiss~

Bai Shuya thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

“Yes, obtaining MP is easier.”

“And now, the strongest in terms of combat power, Moon Shadow and the Sacred Light Kingdom, are mostly mages. If they can stack millions of MP, even if they’re naked, they’d still have tens of millions of combat power.”

“Not bad, you haven’t played the game much, yet you can figure that out?”

Su Wanting’s pretty face flushed: “I, I play seriously, you know? I’ve already done my second class advancement, but the experience is really hard to grind, I can’t even level up once a day.”

Speaking of which.

Lin Ye also remembered.

They had reached Level 50 early on, and once the class advancement quests were done, they needed to grind levels.

But Bai Shuya had to manage the Forgotten Land, so her level hadn’t moved.

The remaining Yan Yan, Su Wanting, and Xia Mo, even if they formed a party, couldn’t get much experience.

“I have arrangements for professions. Wan Ting, follow me later. You’ll change to a hidden profession. There are three options for archers: Space Hunter, Forest Guardian, and Aurora Feather Arrow. You can think about it first.”

Lin Ye turned his head and said:

“As for you all, if you’re not going the archer route, you can consider Starlight Guardian.”

Starlight Guardian?

Everyone clearly hadn’t heard of it.

Upon hearing this, Shadow Moon Yao immediately stepped forward and explained, “This is a top-tier profession that this King developed with the Saints, after comprehensively considering the pros and cons of all professions in the eternal realm. Its own cultivation difficulty is very high, requiring a certain level of talent.”

“The minimum requirement is at least an A-rank or higher corresponding profession talent. Otherwise, even if the class advancement trial is waived, the significance of the improvement is not great, because if the mechanism cannot be achieved, even obtaining high-level, high-tier skills will not be able to unleash corresponding combat power. This… hmm, it’s a bit complex.”

“Actually… the Saints’ high standards for class advancements are not deliberate, but rather necessary.”
