Chapter 24

明明知道会死，为什么还不投降？它们又不是共残当员！

难道是因为自己和它们不是同一个种族？难道对方之中没有思想更会变通的精英兵种？难道这也是规则？

Liu Siyi thought a lot. Only now did he realize that if threats of life and death could subdue them, what would be the point of these refreshed units? Wouldn't it mean that a powerful hero alone could form a strong army?

Indeed, could an army grow like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger?

Of course not.

After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to stop thinking, as it was too troublesome.

The battle ended, and an orange evolution light sphere floated out, surging into his body. In a mix of pain and pleasure, indescribable feelings, Liu Siyi sensed that although this upgrade brought a significant boost, it was not as much as the previous two, which had doubled his power.

This should be the normal strength gained from an upgrade, Liu Siyi thought, feeling a bit disappointed, but not too much. The significant boosts from the previous two upgrades had laid a solid foundation, so even if future upgrades followed a certain ratio, they would still be much stronger than opponents of the same level.

The lightning rune could not infinitely increase Liu Siyi's maximum strength. The lower the level, the higher the boost would naturally be. The higher the level, the less the boost would be. Consider this: the boost at level one would definitely be less than at level seven, but in terms of ratio, level one could increase by 100%, while level seven would definitely not be as high.

Liu Siyi did not know how much future upgrades would boost him, but this time, his mental strength increased by 60%, and his magic power saw a significant boost, with both magic attack power and effective attack range improving.

This was because, at the beginning of the upgrade, his body had not undergone any reinforcement, so the potential was great, and the enhancement was significant. After two upgrades, his body's potential was further tapped, making the perceived boost smaller, but in reality, the increase in strength was not less than before.

After the evolution power boosted Liu Siyi's physical strength and mental power to their current peak, there was still a large amount of power left. At this point, the evolution power, like a constantly wriggling water ball, began to fuse.

Liu Siyi looked forward to it, watching the particularly large amount of evolution power this time. He hoped that this time it would upgrade the Wisdom Spell to a higher level. However, this could only be left to luck, and no one could say for sure.

Finally, the evolution power completed its fusion. This time, it fused into two skills, both of which were advanced skills.

Advanced Luck Spell, Advanced Morale Spell.

Advanced Luck Spell: All allied units' luck +3. (Each level increases all allied units' luck by 1.)

Advanced Morale Spell: All allied units' morale +3. (Each level increases all allied units' morale by 1.)

Which is more important, luck or morale? Those who have played games might not choose either of these skills, but if forced to choose one, most would definitely choose morale. Luck increases the chance of double attacks, but for someone who considers himself a tech-savvy person, after using the Slow and Blind spells, the rest would be Resurrection and waiting... What's the point of double attacks, even tenfold attacks?

On the other hand, the Morale Spell increases morale, which directly determines whether a mixed army can act in battle. Liu Siyi remembered the most frustrating time, which was during a final decisive battle.

The enemy was trapped at home, and he brought the strongest units of seven races, thinking he wouldn't be that unlucky. However, the Phoenix's morale was low, and it couldn't act, followed by the Archangel's low morale, and it couldn't act... Then the computer directly cast a group Slow... He could only act once or twice in a row...

From this, it can be seen that the Morale Spell is much stronger than the Luck Spell. But that was in the game, and here it's different.

The Luck Spell, as previously mentioned, is a kind of mysterious luck, while the Morale Spell represents a unit's fighting spirit, which is not closely related to a mixed army. Maintaining a mixed army depends on the hero's strength and control over the units. Of course, it's not impossible to put angels and demons in the same team, but it requires a much stronger hero.

Morale is a rather vague concept. Specifically, for example, in the battle where Liu Siyi ambushed the dwarf hero. After the dwarf hero died and the army was heavily damaged, the remaining dwarves lacked confidence in victory, and the psychological fear of losing comrades grew. If not for the Morale Spell cast by the Rune Elder, the remaining dwarves might have fled.

The higher the morale, the less likely a unit is to flee, and the stronger their fighting spirit, the greater the damage they can inflict, and the less likely they are to rebel. Therefore, morale is a very important skill.

If it were in a game, Liu Siyi would choose the Morale Spell without hesitation, but in this world, he hesitated.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind and pointed to Luck.

This Luck Spell must be learned; its effect is like the elusive fate in ancient novels, often indispensable in many situations. For example, when opening treasure chests, the gold would increase, the level of the treasure would be higher, and the attributes would be more suitable for the user.

These are all very important, but Liu Siyi hoped that the next upgrade would grant him the Advanced Wisdom Spell. He missed home.

Although he had not spent three days in the game world, in those three days, he had seen too many deaths. These deaths were not all caused by him, but they were all related to him. Although he had accepted the legacy of a legendary mage and was determined to become a god, his essential soul was still fragile. It was clearly impossible to transform a college student who aspired to be a shut-in into a ruthless and decisive person in such a short time. Therefore, he felt that coming to this world was like a rootless duckweed, drifting wherever the wind took him.

He wanted to return to the real world, even though there were no more family members there, and it was impossible to become a god, but the overall environment was safe, and he could completely put down the heavy psychological burden, not having to consider how his forces would develop or the potential retaliation from the dwarves.

But immediately, Liu Siyi shook his head, and the obsession with becoming a god as a legendary mage once again took over, tearing apart these unnecessary worries and beginning to consider the current situation.

With the Advanced Luck Spell adding +3 and the Gambler's Card adding +1, Liu Siyi's luck had reached +4. Looking at the third-tier Black Iron Treasure Chest guarded by the Hell Warhorse, he was really looking forward to it. This Black Iron Treasure Chest could open second-tier treasures, and he wondered what it would contain.

A dazzling golden light flashed, and the Black Iron Treasure Chest disappeared, leaving a pile of gold coins and a pendant shaped like an eye on the ground.

Although the gold coins were not few, Liu Siyi was already immune to them.

Holding the pendant, he found that it was an eye-shaped pendant with a black pupil, with a small hole at the top and a rope made from what seemed to be a plant root.

Black Night Pendant, a second-tier treasure, granting the hero night vision.

Sighing, Liu Siyi thought that even with +4 luck, it wasn't always very effective.

Actually, if you really think about it, the ability granted by this pendant is absolutely excellent. For example, Liu Siyi did not have night vision, so entering the underground world would be pitch black for him, like a blind person. But with this pendant, he could navigate the underground world as easily as a fish in water, even seeing more than the native inhabitants.

However, Liu Siyi was not currently in the underground world, and he did not know any entrances to it. When he would enter the underground was unknown. Therefore, the Black Night Pendant seemed useless at the moment, and when it would be useful was also unknown.

Hanging it around his neck, Liu Siyi helplessly shook his head. Luck is something no one can predict. He would have to wait until he found a better pendant to replace it.
