223 Percentage of Blood Depreciated (I)
After a long talk, both of them understand each other’s situation in the past four months.
On Lin Ye’s side.
After defeating the eight inheritance bosses and the Primordial Trial, he had basically cleared the entire Hive-like dungeon.
All that was left was to find time to defeat the remaining secret dungeon Bosses, obtain his Hive-like attribute points and wisdom crown, and upgrade his equipment and skills.
It might be difficult for others, but for him, the time he needed to fight the Boss was less than 1% of the time he needed to travel.
Not to mention, with the Hive-like map given by the mayfly witch, he could use the secret passage to get to the late-game map, bypassing the transition areas with low drop rates in the early and mid-game, and directly reach the final map, where the throne lies.
Considering that there were many things to deal with in reality, their levels couldn’t fall too far behind either.
Lin Ye’s plan was to earn some Bloodsouls to sell the limited-edition items and leave the equipment drops to fate. Then, he would report to Tianqi University and find Bai Zhi, the lucky buff, to help him farm for equipment.
Looking at the situation, later on, he would be stuck at level 15, grinding for Diamond-grade equipment like Hive, all the way until he cleared the early stages.
It was better to quickly reach level 20 and challenge the instance dungeons related to Yanan. He would go to the Yanan World that the members of the Church of Healing had mentioned and start a new round of inheritance challenges there.
Su Mumu’s situation was more complicated.
During her travel in Hive….
Not only could it provide her with a large number of attribute points and the crown of wisdom, but it could also continuously improve her “Fading” ability by relying on the leveling-up mechanism of killing monsters. She could summon more powerful spirit souls and improve the quality of the spirit souls she had already summoned.
But the premise was…
She had to be in Hive-like.
This time, she couldn’t separate like she did four months ago, where the main body remained in reality while her summoned spirit traveled and battled on her own.
Otherwise, she could no longer improve.
The principle behind this was similar to Lin Ye’s sword, but the difference was that the sword had to kill both real and summoned creatures to level up.
“Fading”, on the other hand, required the players to kill as many secret realm creatures as they could before they could absorb their remnant souls and improve the quality of their skills.
Similarly.
The Hive-like creatures that Su Mumu killed, be it secret dungeon Bosses, monsterlings, or even inheritance Bosses, would all die permanently and could not be respawned.
This led to Su Mumu having to push through all the way and not be the sword God. She had to squat in the novice area and repeatedly farm Bloodsoul.
“So, in other words…”
“‘Fading’ is equivalent to a Godkiller skill?”
“What do you mean (￢v￢)?” Su Mumu asked, confused.
Lin Ye repeated the knowledge that the mayfly witch told him to Su Mumu, especially the information about Eldon’s world and the Bionic Tear.
“It seems like the reason Tree Guardian asked me to bring you here….” Lin Ye trailed off before he turned to Su Mumu with his analysis.
“You must have noticed that this Hive-like dungeon, which has the same origin as Elden, can greatly strengthen your Bionic Tear.”
“Then, in the other worlds that share the same origin as Hive, you’ll definitely bring your own entry pass. You can rely on killing creatures in the secret realm to evolve the abilities of the Bionic Tear and the Soul-Summoning Bell.”
“Wait a minute… Since you know about inheritance Bosses, you should have tried to gain their recognition, right?”
“How did you go”
“Did you get some inheritance skills?”
Su Mumu shook her head.
“I didn’t get it.”
“I don’t have the authority to participate in the inheritance trial.”
Lin Ye was confused.
“Did the system give you any hints?”
“No… Call it a woman’s intuition,” Mumu shook her head again.
“When I met the Hex Teacher, he didn’t issue me a ‘Duel Invitation’. Instead, he directly came up to me and hit me. The process was completely different from what I heard should’ve happened..”
“Also….”
“You probably have noticed,”
“If I really had to fight the Hex Teacher one-on-one, I definitely wouldn’t be able to win. I’m just a bystander, and I’m completely relying on little Mumu to support me. (•̀ᴗ•́)و”
Lin Ye rubbed his chin.
“You’re right.”
“But it’s not a loss.”
“Those four inheritance skills don’t really suit you,”
“The ability to increase ‘Fading’ is better.”
“These two skills probably wouldn’t fit very well.”
After he finished speaking, Lin Ye glanced at the dim moonlight outside the castle and continued to ask,
“One more thing. You’ve been in Hive for four months. Didn’t you go back to see Uncle and Auntie? ”
“I don’t know where they went. I went to your house to look for them, but I couldn’t find them.”
Su Mumu stuck out her tongue.
“They’re fine.”
“Mom and dad have moved.”
“Move to a place where I used the fire-passing badge to open the door to Hive.”
“Although I didn’t go back, little Mumu is there. She can protect them and also tell them about my condition. Neither of them is worried about me.”
“Oh.”
“And your room.”
“Hehe, isn’t it very clean? Because I’ve told little Mumu to clean it for you regularly.”
“Don’t you think you should praise me?”
*(๑･∀･๑)*
Lin Ye fed her a potato chip.
“I’ll reward you with a potato chip.”
Su Mumu ate Lin Ye’s reward and licked the deliciousness off her lips. She then grabbed the bag of chips and asked, as she took out new chips, “What do you plan to do next?”
“Are we going back?”
Lin Ye thought about it.
“I was thinking of bringing you back to the real world, but would it affect your ‘Fading’ ability?”
Su Mumu tilted her head.
“I don’t know,”
“My instinct tells me that it won’t.”
Lin Ye rubbed his chin again.
