Chapter 346: Optimizing Skills_2
1. The range of Bright Blessing increased. (Ordinary)
2. Each time Bright Blessing is cast, there's a chance to dispel a negative state from the target. (Law)
3. The cooldown time for the Bright Blessing skill is reduced. (Ordinary)
Hmm!?
Chen Xing's eyes lit up.
He had thought he would need to refresh several times, with only 648 skill points left, he had prepared for the worst.
But the second roll hit the jackpot.
Since it could dispel negative states from the target, did Black Marrow Disease count as one?
When it comes to laws, it's not just about the concept, but also the level of comprehension of the law.
Whichever side has the higher level of comprehension of the law is the truth.
He decisively chose the second option.
Then Chen Xing continued to optimize.
Please choose one of the following three optimization directions.
1. Each time Bright Blessing is cast, there's a chance of multiple casting. (Rare)
2. The range of Bright Blessing skill increases, reaching wherever the caster's gaze falls. (Law)
3. Magic power consumption of the Bright Blessing skill is reduced. (Ordinary)
Looking at the effect of the second option, Chen Xing fell silent for a while, then went around and came back to it.
Although the first option of multiple casting was quite nice, it still lacked competitiveness compared to the law-level effect.
After optimizing Bright Blessing, it was time for Light of Purification.
Please choose one of the following four optimization directions.
1. Each time Light of Purification is cast, another target can be chosen for purification. (Ordinary)
2. After casting Light of Purification, there's a slight chance of refreshing the cooldown. (Rare)
3. The casting speed of Light of Purification increases.
4. There's a certain chance of completely purifying undead units when casting Light of Purification on them. (Law)
Is this purification... serious?
Chen Xing pondered for a moment and chose the fourth option.
Dong Jun sensed that his two skills had undergone some subtle changes and was trying to adapt. Chen Xing spoke to him, "Go get familiar with the skills. The changes aren't big, but they now include an effect that can dispel negative states, which can be very effective in battle. Get used to it first."
Dong Jun nodded his round head.
"Go get familiar with your skills," Chen Xing said, then recalled him to the Gourmet Space.
Let the Demon Eagle and Taotie be training partners and train with it.
At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Qiu Wanshan knocked on the door, "Do you want to go out for dinner together?"
Chen Xing thought for a moment, it was indeed dinnertime, and it was perfect to go out for dinner, "Let's go."
Having been here for two days, Chen Xing was fairly familiar with the streets in the vicinity.
Across one street was a food street on the other side.
Many restaurants, eateries, and inns were located there.
Entering the food street, Chen Xing saw that a platform had been built in the wide street, and an elderly man was making a loud speech on it, with many people gathered nearby.
"Is there a performance over there?" Chen Xing pointed in that direction and asked.
Qiu Wanshan glanced over and realized, "No, it's the election for the City Defense General."
"City Defense General?" Chen Xing thought for a moment, and quickly remembered, having prepared beforehand, especially about the positions within the Dragon Emperor Giant City.
The position of City Lord was always held by a dragon in the Dragon Emperor Giant City.
But the City Defense General was a human position.
On the platform, the elderly man declared loudly, "I pledge my wisdom, courage, and all my passion to this cause, to ensure every inch of land and every resident of Dragon Emperor Giant City will have the most reliable protection. I promise to spare no effort in strengthening our defenses, training our soldiers, and enhancing our defensive capabilities..."
"His campaign speech sounds pretty..." As Chen Xing listened to the man speaking on the platform, he felt it was a bit odd and didn't know how to comment.
Qiu Wanshan chuckled, "Actually, he has a think tank behind him, and the think tank members are from our Blue Star."
"Blue Star people's jobs are so diverse?" Chen Xing was somewhat surprised.
Qiu Wanshan shook his head, "Who knows. After we integrated into the Exotic Region, we were influenced by it. Beast Taming civilization connected with our world, but many of our customs also spread to the Exotic Region, and in some aspects, the Exotic Region was influenced by us."
"Actually, the position of the City Defense General in Dragon Emperor Giant City isn't as high as one might imagine, but the relationship with the dragons is quite intimate."
"Because these dragons, especially the ones with pure bloodlines, are very proud... Of course, they have the confidence to be proud, since no matter the era, they are the top species in the food chain," Qiu Wanshan said.
"However, since Dragon Emperor Giant City is, after all, a city, it obviously has various trivial matters that need handling, such as maintaining public order and mediating conflicts between smaller factions under its control, and so on, all of which the dragons find too bothersome. Therefore, the authority to handle these matters is delegated, resulting in the position of the City Defense General."
Chen Xing understood.
It was like the dragons had recruited a group of stewards.
The City Defense General is essentially a senior steward.
But because of the special status, being a seventh-ranking official in front of the prime minister, even for a high-ranking steward, it was a position many people coveted.
Qiu Wanshan said with a chuckle, "If we compare the dragons to goddesses, then the City Defense General's position is like the personal secretary to the goddess. You get to interact with the goddess often, and who knows, you might one day 'win over' the goddess, and the combat power of dragons is top-notch."
Chen Xing thought Qiu Wanshan's description was a bit spicy.
Bang!
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from not far away.
The next second, there were bursts of exclamations below the stage.
The white-haired man who had been delivering a speech just a moment ago fell to the ground.
Several guards beside him rushed up and summoned their Beast Taming, forming a circle to protect him in the middle.
"Catch the assassin!"
"The assassin is here!"
The scene was in an uproar; with such dense crowds, the assassin would find it impossible to hide.
There was only one chance to strike.
As soon as you acted, you would be instantly targeted by the surrounding attacks and killed in an instant.
But no one knew if there were other assassins lurking in the shadows.
Just then, the white-haired man on the ground stood up with the help of the people around him.
Exclamations arose from the scene because one of the white-haired man's ears was bleeding profusely.
Breaking free from the support, the white-haired man reached out to touch his ear, and looking at the crimson on his palm, clenched his fist tightly and then raised it high.
"The enemy's attempt to assassinate me is because they are afraid of hearing your voices! But I am not scared! What the enemy fears is what they dread!
That means they are losing ground!
I will lead our Dragon Emperor Giant City to greater heights in this new era!" the man declared loudly.
Cheers rose up from below, one after another.
Qiu Wanshan squinted his eyes, then his gaze fell on Chen Xing.
"What do you think?"
"I'm watching from the sidelines," Chen Xing said at first with a smile.
Then he shook his head.
"That man's name is Jing Cang. He has a good reputation in the Dragon Emperor Giant City. He comes from a common background and has made his way up step by step. Although he is not an Ascension Beast Tamer, he is an old-fashioned pinnacle Transcendence Beast Tamer. He just looks young, but in reality, he is over three hundred years old," Qiu Wanshan said gravely.
"Moreover, this man is not simple. He can listen to voices, even those that express dissenting opinions, and is open to receiving them, including taking people from Blue Star under his wing. He's even offered me an olive branch before."
"Well, it seems not bad. If possible, we should see if we can cooperate," Chen Xing responded.
The man could be an ambitious figure or a political one; actually, it didn't greatly matter to the relationship with Great Xia.
At least for now, there were no conflicts of interest between the two parties.
Because the two were separated by far too many powers.
"He will also be participating in the Wanlong Conference this year, and I heard you'll be in the same group," Qiu Wanshan said, looking at Chen Xing.
"In the same group as me?" Chen Xing asked in surprise, "Didn't you say he is a pinnacle Transcendence Beast Tamer?"
"He is a pinnacle Transcendence, that's correct, but... his pinnacle Transcendence beast is not of the Dragon Clan," Qiu Wanshan said with a smile.
"..."
Chen Xing understood; it seemed that the situation was not much different from his own.
"He is the favorite to win the championship in your group; his Beast Taming is not to be underestimated," Qiu Wanshan added. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
