Time until bestowal: approximately 5 days.]

An Ke looked at the system panel, feeling great.

Not only did the veteran Leopard Mom finally have a chance to obtain transcendent attributes, fulfilling its long-held dream,

but both A Giao and Three Hairs would receive new transcendent attributes tomorrow as well.

Divine Dragon Hero.

An Ke felt amused just thinking about it.

For the next levels of [Natural Affinity], from level 11 to 20, each level-up didn't unlock any new functions.

Instead, each level-up gave An Ke +50 points to all attributes.

Over 10 levels, that totaled +500 points to all attributes.

"Even though no new abilities were unlocked, adding 500 points to all attributes is still incredibly powerful..."

Rather than feeling disappointed, An Ke felt it was absolutely awesome.

After all, the [Game] usually only rewarded 1 or 2 points, often even just 0.5 attribute points.

Yet, each level of [Natural Affinity] boosted all his attributes by 50 points.

Comparing the two, wouldn't you say it's impressive?

An Ke's highest attribute used to be Strength.

For one, frequent battles meant his [Strength Proficiency] was constantly increasing.

Now, his [Strength Proficiency] had reached level 10.

Converting Proficiency into attribute points, that was 500 points.

Level 1 was equivalent to 50 Strength points.

Combined with the [National Fortune Game] rewards, An Ke's previous Strength was over 500 points, comparable to Jingang.

This meant that An Ke could previously kick over a behemoth-type Triceratops.

But now, levels 10-20 of [Natural Affinity] had added 500 points to all attributes.

An Ke's highest attribute, Strength, had reached over 1,000 points—twice that of Jingang.

It was equivalent to being able to kick over two behemoth-type Triceratops.

"I am terrifyingly strong now!" An Ke was ecstatic.

He had never dared to imagine he would one day possess such power.

Now, he could definitely crush Captain Lighthouse.

With this, An Ke had finished processing his recent gains.

He felt deeply moved; compared to catching some Peregrine Falcon, hunting players from other civilizations yielded far more bountiful rewards.

However, An Ke was just thinking out loud.

If he actually went around hunting players from other civilizations, he would surely become public enemy number one.

If all the players from the Fungus Race, Thousand Changes Race, and Savage Civilization joined forces to crusade against him, An Ke felt he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Therefore, it was better to keep a low profile.

It was currently the third day of the event, so there was no rush to capture the Peregrine Falcon.

He would wait a few more days before starting the hunt.

During these few days, An Ke planned to see if he could find an SS-rank [transcendent gene core].

And then fuse it into an SSS-rank [transcendent gene core].

As the night grew deeper,

An Ke's group drifted off to sleep.

Actually, with An Ke's current Mental Strength, he could go two or three days without sleep.

But An Ke liked sleeping.

He felt that sleeping was the happiest thing in the world.

An Ke closed his eyes and slept, but the players from various civilizations couldn't sleep.

...

In the Giant Forest, spiders perched upon one massive web after another.

They were transformed members of the Thousand Changes Race.

"Unbelievable. A player from a civilization with an overall strength rating of only F-rank actually killed a player from a D-rank civilization."

"Is this something an F-rank can do? Could there be an error in the rating?"

"How could the [Game]'s mechanics possibly make a mistake?"

"But it's illogical... The Tar Civilization has only two players, yet their overall strength rating is D.

If they had a few more players, their overall rating would likely be higher than our Thousand Changes Civilization."

"I really want to see the full battle and find out how that Human Player named An Ke did it."

"Indeed! I bet the Tar Civilization didn't expect a dark horse like the Blue Star Civilization to emerge."

"Heh! It's better that we, the Thousand Changes Race, are indifferent to worldly struggles."

"We'll just quietly participate in the event."

"But it's already the third day. Why hasn't a single Peregrine Falcon been caught yet?"

"This event is too ridiculous."

"..."

Whether it was the Thousand Changes Race, the Savage Clan, or the players from various countries, everyone felt this event was far too absurd.

The Peregrine Falcons were too difficult to catch.

However, the more difficult it was, the more every player raced against time, fearing they would miss this golden opportunity to boost their strength.

In a word, it was intense competition.

Only An Ke's group was relaxed and cozy, still sleeping at this hour.

If other players were there, they would surely demand: 'How can you still sleep at a time like this?'

'Don't you feel any guilt?'

The next day!

A Giao and Three Hairs received their attribute bestowals.

The former transformed into a Kung Fu Panda, every move as fluid as a swimming dragon.

Feeling the changes in its body, A Giao was incredibly excited.

It immediately called upon its elder brother, Jingang, to spar with it.

The muscle tyrant immediately declared he would show A Giao what real kung fu was.

Thus, the two sides began a duel.

The watching members originally thought Jingang would win easily.

An Ke thought so too.

Unexpectedly, he ended up in a fierce battle with A Giao.

Jingang's terrifying strength was neutralized one move at a time by A Giao's Tai Chi Fist.

This display left the members very surprised.

But an even bigger surprise followed: A Giao's Tai Chi Fist could not only use softness to overcome hardness and neutralize Jingang's powerful strength,

but it could even neutralize Aman's breath attacks.

This reminded An Ke of a game character, Zhao Huaizhen...

Whose ultimate skill could block all projectile-based moves.

To test this theory, An Ke had the other animals shoot at A Giao.

If he was wrong, at worst he'd waste a [revival coin] to resurrect A Giao.

However, it turned out An Ke was right.

The 200 Divine Dragon Hero attribute points not only gave A Giao a mastery of kung fu but also granted it a Tai Chi Fist capable of neutralizing any projectile-based move.

This made An Ke feel like he had unexpectedly stumbled upon a treasure.

He had originally thought the Divine Dragon Hero attribute was just mediocre; no matter how strong, it was ultimately just low-level martial arts with a limited ceiling.

In a [Game] where high-tech and transcendent powers were everywhere, it shouldn't have been anything special.

Yet, unexpectedly, it was incredibly effective.

If A Giao had obtained the Divine Dragon Hero attribute a day earlier, the Second King of Tar's [Soul Swap] lock-on would have been a joke.

That attack counted as a projectile attack, which A Giao could have neutralized and reflected back.

A Giao the panda was so excited its chin was practically pointing at the sky.

Meanwhile, Three Hairs' new attribute truly turned it into a "Thousand Machinations Umbrella."

Previously, it relied on controlling the shape of its fur to act as different weapons.

But now, Three Hairs could transform into various forms just like little Roman.

broadswords, spears, longswords... and so on.
