Chapter 19 : Lord Evil God, Can You Stop Messing Around
Chapter 19: Lord Evil God, Can You Stop Messing Around!
Jiang Chen was still very confident about this point.
“However, this game….”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen’s gaze fell onto the equipment and skills he had obtained.
“The vast majority of skill enhancements in this game are around 10%.”
“At first, I thought a 10% bonus skill was nothing special, but now it seems that’s not the case. Even the first recharge six-yuan weapon is at 10%.”
The reason Jiang Chen cared so much about this was because he clearly understood that in many games, certain attributes had a critical threshold.
And to break through that threshold, the quality of the weapon often had to rise to the next tier.
This was also what Jiang Chen cared about the most.
“In any game, first recharge weapons can be used for a long time. In some games, they can even last into the late stages.”
“If even the first recharge weapon is only 10%, then my guess is probably correct. To break past that 10% attribute, I’ll likely need weapons from the next tier.”
For other classes, losing a bit of attributes didn’t matter much.
But for his class, even a slight drop in attributes would result in a significant decrease in damage.
What Jiang Chen feared most was using a skill and leaving the monster with a sliver of HP, only for the wild monster to enter a berserk state.
The difference between being able to one-shot and not being able to one-shot was simply too great.
This was also the biggest pain point of burst-damage classes.
“Forget it, thinking about this now is useless. I’ll take it one step at a time and plan it properly when I have time.”
Jiang Chen naturally hadn’t forgotten what he needed to do next.
......
The freshman assessment mechanism of the Eternal Tower was very simple.
Clearing the first three floors meant passing directly.
If one wanted to challenge the fourth floor or even higher levels, they could only do so after officially becoming a student of the academy and obtaining the academy badge.
So after Jiang Chen cleared the third floor, Vivian was teleported out.
The moment she came out, Vivian saw Lilith, who had already been waiting for quite some time.
At this moment, Lilith was looking at her with a complicated expression.
Vivian wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.
However, she soon noticed that everyone around them was also staring at her in unison.
Why are they all looking at me?
Vivian felt puzzled.
Across the entire plaza, everyone had different expressions.
There was admiration, jealousy—every kind of emotion was reflected in their eyes.
So what exactly happened?
The only thing Vivian could think of was that her clear speed had possibly broken a record, attracting their attention.
But that didn’t seem right either.
I remember there weren’t this many people in the plaza before. Why are there suddenly so many?
Even the academy’s principal and teachers had come. Could it be because Lilith reported me?
Vivian still remembered how that detestable Evil God had controlled her body and used Lilith as bait.
Subconsciously swallowing, Vivian felt a bad premonition rise in her heart.
Fortunately, what she feared did not happen.
The old principal walked forward with a group of mentors, smiling warmly.
“You two must be the Empire’s Twin Stars who have been making waves recently.”
Hearing the old principal’s words, Vivian was momentarily stunned.
She had heard many rumors about the principal before her.
He was supposed to be a stern and unsmiling figure, yet now, seeing the old principal smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum, Vivian couldn’t help but feel strange.
Where was the sternness?
Compared to Vivian, Lilith immediately straightened her posture upon seeing the principal approach. “Greetings, Principal!”
Seeing Lilith’s actions, Vivian instantly understood what she was about to do.
Then Vivian tragically realized that she still couldn’t control her own body.
Move…
Lord Evil God, move already, greet the principal!
At this moment, seeing herself standing motionless, Vivian was so anxious she was about to cry.
One had to know that the one controlling her body was the Evil God. If that was discovered, she would be completely doomed.
At a time like this, the best approach was to act as normal as possible so as not to arouse suspicion.
Wuwuwu… Lord Evil God, why are you putting on such an indifferent face right now?
Say hello!
The principal is a legendary mage. If he notices anything, I’m done for!
However, just as Vivian was panicking internally, the Evil God finally moved.
“Old man, aren’t you going to say something?”
As those words fell, the previously smiling group froze.
The murmuring students around them also fell silent in an instant, all staring at Vivian in disbelief.
What did she just call the principal?
Old man?
Are you serious?
Even Lilith beside her reacted the same way, staring at Vivian in shock.
Seeing this scene, Vivian held her forehead.
I knew this would happen!
Lord Evil God, are you trying to get me killed faster?!
Wuwuwu… Lord Evil God, can you act normal for once… stop messing around!
“If something happens, you can just walk away without a care, but I’ll be completely doomed!”
However, to Vivian’s surprise, although the principal looked a bit awkward, he did not get angry.
“Haha… a genius is indeed a genius—truly different from the rest.”
As his words fell, the mentors beside him also laughed awkwardly. “Yes, yes.”
“Quite… unique indeed.”
The teachers began to smooth things over with forced smiles.
Seeing the mentors’ reactions, the tension in Vivian’s heart finally eased slightly.
“It seems my performance just now was outstanding enough for them to overlook some minor issues.”
“Is this what they call special treatment?”
Vivian had never experienced something like this in her life before. Honestly, it didn’t feel bad.
Vivian might have been feeling quite good, but things were different on Jiang Chen’s side.
“I’m numb… what is this old guy even doing?”
“Damn it, is there something wrong with the developers? Is this kind of plot really necessary?”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked at the old principal and the group of mentors, feeling speechless.
In the real world, Jiang Chen had experienced plenty of social formalities and polite exchanges, and he disliked them greatly.
Who would have thought that even while playing a game, he would still have to deal with this kind of social interaction?
“The key point is that this plot can’t even be skipped.”
“Can you hurry it up? I’m still waiting to collect the reward from that bet.”
Jiang Chen spoke helplessly.
But then, he seemed to think of something.
“Right now, this should count as successfully passing the entrance exam.”
“The quest should be completed.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen opened the quest list.
Sure enough, the word “Completed” was displayed at the end of the quest.
Unlike other games, this game did not display the rewards in the quest details.
“The quest rewards aren’t shown? Judging by this, they probably didn’t have time to implement it, or they forgot.”
With some confusion, Jiang Chen clicked submit.
【Ding, congratulations player for completing the quest. Reward obtained: Free Attribute Points ×10】
Seeing the quest notification, Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up.
“Damn, this reward is pretty good!”
Free attribute points were a valuable resource.
Immediately, Jiang Chen began to study the conversion ratio of attribute points. First, when allocated to MP or HP, one attribute point could increase 10 points of MP or HP.
However, for attributes like Strength and Intelligence, the ratio was only 1:1.
Seeing this conversion ratio, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel conflicted.
