[Ding, Explorer Level increased by one.]
[Ding, Revelation Sound trait triggered, Wisdom increased by one.]
After swiftly taking down 120 Tier One Full Level elite monsters, Lin Rui smoothly leveled up, reaching Tier One Level 5.
He decisively allocated all 3 attribute points from the level-up to Physique. Now his attributes are perfectly neat: Physique 40 (37+3), Intelligence 47 (42+5), Willpower 40 (35+5).
Honestly, if he picked up a sword for close combat with the warriors in the domain, except for Lundestadte, no one could match him.
Lundestadte, fighting alone below, also killed over twenty Tier One Full Level elite monsters and successfully leveled up. His Physique reached the limit of Tier One.
This means he has a large number of attribute points available to enhance his overall attributes. Advancing to Tier Two is already a certainty. If Lin Rui could find a way to forcibly increase his Physique by one more point, he might even advance ahead of time, gaining a large number of extra attribute points.
By that time, this Tier Two Rare Level troop will be even more powerful.
Meanwhile, Audrey had already returned with two spoils in her hands, saying, "Boss, boss, we’ve struck it rich."
Lin Rui couldn’t understand why she suddenly started calling him "boss"; maybe because he kept giving her money to shop? Her goofy way of thinking is unfathomable to most people.
Seeing the items Audrey was holding, Lin Rui asked in surprise, "Just these two items from over a hundred elite monsters?"
"Just these two items; everyone was watching, I didn’t hide anything," Audrey promised with a serious little face, "But these two items are really valuable, take a look at the attributes, boss."
Lin Rui took the dropped items from Audrey. The item in his left hand looked like a medal, fitting the terrifying world — two olive branches holding a bronze skull.
[Strategic Treasure: Skull Sanctity]
[The skull symbol represents human purity; it not only proves that this person was never corrupted or degenerate until death, preserving purity, but also represents noble sacrifice.]
[When equipped, all Human Race armies under the Commander gain Physique +5%, Willpower +5%, overall damage +10% against Chaos Army, overall Physical Defense +10%, overall Spiritual Resistance +10%.]
All the Golden Pansy soldiers nearby were wide-eyed after seeing this strategic treasure.
Whole army Physique +5%, Willpower +5%!!
The later the stage, the more terrifying this bonus becomes.
Even in the early stage, at Tier One Full Level, it equates to an increase of 3 points in individual Physique for everyone, with Physique and Willpower totaling an increase of 6 points.
It’s like equipping everyone with an extra piece of Blue Fine-level Equipment.
And by Tier Two, this strategic treasure’s bonus would instantly reach Rare Level effects. Moreover, there are 10% damage and resistance bonuses, which strengthen attack and defense for all armies.
Lin Rui smiled in satisfaction; it was worth putting all their effort in — nearly the entire Undead Army was annihilated to wipe out this Demon Elite Squad.
Then Lin Rui looked at the item in Audrey’s right hand, which was a gem shining with blue light.
[Elite Soul: By crushing a powerful Demon Elite Squad with a small force, your bravery and prowess even caught the attention of Blood God Khorne. Of course, the gods don’t skimp on rewarding heroes who resist the Chaos Army. Using this item can upgrade a small squad to Elite-level.]
"Stingy!" Lin Rui muttered a quiet complaint.
He shattered a company of Khorne elites, and the gods only rewarded an elite soul for a small squad.
A ten to one ratio, far less generous than his wife.
However, Lin Rui only grumbled quietly; with the gods constantly watching the mortal realm, who knows if they’d notice his complaint.
Truthfully, a ten to one reward-to-kill ratio is quite generous. If it were one-to-one, the gods could easily crush Chaos without needing warriors to fend off the invasion.
With good items, Lin Rui planned to use them immediately. Twelve spots should be easy to allocate.
Four Excellence Level Knights have labored and achieved much, naturally deserving this reward. Two Woodland Fairies were slacking off the entire time, so this round of rewards surely wouldn’t go to them. The remaining ten Fanatics joined Golden Pansy Domain at the same time, so the allocation of eight spots is fair, open, and transparent, depending only on kill counts and military merits.
The light of Divine Grace flashed, and all twelve soldiers were promoted.
Lusen, the scoundrel, successfully rose to Elite-level, naturally showcasing his muscles to the legal loli Amos. Despite getting excited at the sight of females, he proved quite devoted after finding a target to pursue, not indiscriminately sowing seeds.
Unfortunately for Lusen, with the scatterbrained Audrey around, his dogged pursuing was heavily restricted. Snow White held a long sword to his throat, driving him away and forbidding him from harassing the fairy lolis.
Lin Rui seized the chance to check the attributes of the upgraded group. The four knights gained the Elite Knight trait, +10% Life Value, +10% Damage Reduction, +10% Weapon Damage, +5% Extra Experience Gain.
This trait is straightforward but useful, just like a knight — solid and practical, with comprehensive increases in toughness, hardness, and damage.
Moreover, the four’s attributes nearly caught up with Roger, surpassing the other three Tier One Level 2 knights by much.
After reviewing them, Lin Rui focused on the upgraded Fanatics.
