Chapter 124 - Jiang Cheng's Difficult Decision
Jiang Cheng made this choice out of necessity.
Of the three evolution paths – Undead Reaper required him to go to Skeleton Island and devour Chernyov.
The Fallen of a Ruined Nation required him to go to the ancient Lou Lan Kingdom, inherit Bai Zhantian’s will, transform into his likeness, and establish a new Lou Lan Kingdom.
As for Dragonblood Calamity Knight, it was even more troublesome. He had to persuade Erzi to fuse with him…
Jiang Cheng had always convinced others through martial prowess rather than words.
Persuading Erzi was simply asking too much of him.
Moreover, even if he wanted to go, due to A Silly Cutie being offline, his range of activity was restricted to within 3,000 meters, making it impossible for him to get there.
Therefore, these three conditions were all absurd for him.
[Congratulations to the host for resisting temptation and triggering Creation Mode – the hidden evolution path of Trait Evolution.]
[In Trait Evolution mode, the host can freely select the direction of evolution.]
[Note: Trait Evolution mode requires the host to collect materials. The success rate of evolution depends on the quality of the materials.]
[Do you choose the Trait Evolution path?]
Trait Evolution?
“Sure enough, there is a hidden evolution path.”
Jiang Cheng was suddenly overjoyed.
Just from the introduction, he knew this Trait Evolution with free choice was very suitable for him, as if tailor-made for him.
Without any hesitation, he immediately chose Trait Evolution.
.
Perhaps he could wait for A Silly Cutie to come online and then go to the Calamity Lands to find the Dragonblood Calamity Knight.
But Jiang Cheng always felt that what suited him best was the best for him.
No matter how powerful Dragonblood Calamity Knight was, it was more suitable for others.
[Activating evolution method. Trait Evolution successful.]
[Please select evolution traits. This evolution provides 3,145 traits. The host can choose five traits as the evolution direction.]
[After selection, it cannot be changed and will trigger random evolution.]
Instantly, countless options appeared before Jiang Cheng’s eyes, dazzling him.
“Attack, attack speed, movement speed, casting speed, area damage, control, debuffs, buffs, freeze, burn, lacerate, fatal strike, armor piercing, curse, single target, life drain, sleep, slow, blind, magic power, vitality, regeneration…”
“I choose attack, attack speed, movement speed, control, debuffs.”
At a glance, Jiang Cheng selected the attributes he wanted from the many traits.
His skills could be enhanced with evolution points, so he could make up for other aspects with skills.
The ones he chose were all attributes universally acknowledged to be the hardest to improve in the late game.
He chose attack power because he couldn’t wear equipment, and relying on just one weapon was not enough.
In the late game, he would gradually fall behind players who could equip full sets of gear.
Although he could also strengthen his bones to increase attack power, it required too many enhancement points.
Therefore, attack power was a must-pick.
Movement speed and attack speed were also key to restoring him to his peak state.
In the late game, even 100 points of agility would only reduce attack speed and movement speed delay by 0.1 seconds.
Relying solely on skills and plundering agility, it would take him a considerable amount of time to return to his prime.
The same went for control and debuffs. Skills and artifacts of these types were especially hard to obtain. Choosing these two was definitely the right move.
[Successfully selected evolution traits. Requires 4 times the evolution points and gold coins. Congratulations on spending 4 million evolution points and 200 gold coins to successfully trigger Trait Evolution.]
[Evolution direction is attack power, attack speed, movement speed, control, debuffs. Evolution template is random.]
[Probability of successful evolution is 58%. Adding materials with corresponding traits can increase the success rate.]
[Adding Black Fiend Runestone and Heart of Misfortune successful. Evolution probability increased by 25%. Starting evolution. Evolution time is 1 hour.]
