Chapter 86

"Although you didn't defeat your opponent, your performance has surprised me greatly. I believe your strength has already reached the seventh level. In the future, there will be many things that only you can handle." Liu Siyi treated Wolf while comforting him.

"Lord Mayor, I have disappointed you. I am sorry." Wolf lay on the ground, not moving, even though he had already received treatment and had the strength to stand up, he still did not move.

"What's the big deal? It was just one battle. Besides, I didn't expect the escape attribute to be ineffective." Wolf's tone sounded dejected, and Liu Siyi could only try to comfort him.

"That's not it." Wolf still lay on the ground, his head down, speaking in a low, depressed voice: "I was hit by mistake earlier, but even with the attribute boost from the treasure, a -20% attribute value still didn't win. I... I always thought my strength had reached the seventh level, and I should be the strongest among the same level units. But today, I couldn't even defeat a sixth-level unit."

Liu Siyi looked at Wolf, who still hadn't moved, and listened to his dejected words, frowning. Could just one not-so-failed battle have such a big impact on him? Or was it because his previous development had been too smooth, making him lose the courage to face failure, so that even a not-so-failed failure could make him like this?

Unbelievable!

Liu Siyi hadn't studied psychology, but after his parents passed away, his mental state had become very unstable, so he had self-studied some of it. Although he didn't know how effective self-treatment was, at least he had returned to his previous otaku life, which should be fine. Because he had self-studied psychology, he could make some guesses about Wolf's current state. He absolutely couldn't let this continue, or a powerful werewolf hero would turn into a beautiful but useless vase.

A sudden slap on the head! Liu Siyi chose a seemingly simple but actually very profound method. With his current status and strength, it should have an effect.

"Wolf, it's just one failure. The Dragon Knight didn't defeat you, did you admit defeat yourself? You're really disappointing me! Are you even a man? If you're a man, you should get up where you fell. Saying sorry is useless! Also, don't talk to me in that dejected tone. The Wolf I know is a powerful and confident werewolf hero, not a piece of rotten meat lying on the ground waiting to die! If you're a man, stand up. Do you want the entire werewolf race to be ashamed of you? When people talk about werewolves in the future, they will mention a certain Wolf, a high-level werewolf hero, who became a failure because he couldn't handle one failure. So, werewolves are all cowards!?" Liu Siyi's tone was very angry and intense, not only to stimulate him personally but also to use the entire werewolf race to stimulate him. This kind of insult, he believed, no one in the world could bear. Moreover, he added mental strength to his words, stimulating his nerves to achieve a better effect.

"No! The werewolf race has no cowards!" Wolf jumped up, his bloodshot eyes staring at Liu Siyi, his whole body emitting a fierce aura, as if ready to attack at any moment.

The Mantid immediately raised its huge blade arm above Liu Siyi, ready to block any attack from Wolf.

Liu Siyi didn't make any other movements, staring intently at Wolf, feeling the aura he emitted, making the situation extremely tense.

Suddenly, Liu Siyi's lips curled into a smile, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Very good, this is the Wolf I know, full of confidence and strength." Liu Siyi smiled.

Hearing this, Wolf was stunned. Being as smart as he was, he immediately understood what was going on. He retracted his aura and said in a shy, low voice, "Lord Mayor, I'm sorry..."

"I told you, don't say sorry. A man should get up where he falls. Understanding your strengths and weaknesses will lead to greater progress. I believe that after this battle, not only will your strength become even stronger, but your mental resilience will also be more robust." Liu Siyi looked at Wolf with satisfaction, knowing that after such a big blow, he could recover so quickly, his future was limitless.

"Lord Mayor, here is your treasure." Wolf used formal language, taking out the skull ring and respectfully offering it with both hands.

"En." Liu Siyi took the skull ring. At least for now, he wouldn't be generous enough to let his subordinates use a fourth-level treasure.

"Having just watched an exciting battle, I almost forgot the main task. Let's see what kind of miracle this gold treasure box will bring."

The gold treasure box was right in front of him. Honestly, although he had opened two gold treasure boxes and obtained two fourth-level treasures, he was still a bit nervous when facing it again.

With a firm belief to obtain the treasure, Liu Siyi calmed his mind and extended his hand toward the gold treasure box.

The golden light seemed even more dazzling. Each time he opened a treasure box, the golden light was the same, but it always felt more dazzling each time.

Maybe it's just a psychological effect...

The golden light dissipated, and the gold treasure box disappeared. In its place, a transparent glass bottle, similar in style to a mercury bottle but containing red liquid, appeared alone.

Great! Another single treasure, indicating that it is at least a fourth-level treasure. With a slightly excited heart, Liu Siyi picked up the bottle of red liquid.

Mutated Blood: Fourth-level treasure, refined from the blood of a Mutated Two-Headed Dragon Lord, usage count: 1/1.

When used by a living being, one of its attributes will randomly receive a boost from the Mutated Two-Headed Dragon Lord.

When used by a unit building, limited to 1-7 level unit buildings, after use, there is a 100% chance each week to recruit a mutated unit from that building.

Damn! So powerful! At first glance, it didn't seem like much, but after careful consideration, the power of this treasure became clear.

Liu Siyi didn't know the strength of the Mutated Two-Headed Dragon Lord, but even a casual guess would tell him it wouldn't be much worse than a seventh-level unit, and might even be better.

For example, if this bottle of mutated blood were used on a first-level low-level unit, one of its attributes would be boosted to the level of the Mutated Two-Headed Dragon Lord. Combined with its own attributes, it would be even stronger in that attribute than the Mutated Two-Headed Dragon Lord! If the attribute were strength, it would mean that a first-level low-level unit's strength would be on par with a seventh-level unit, or even surpass it. If it were health... If it were speed...

Of course, if it weren't a unit like Liu Siyi, who excels in both magic and martial arts, giving a Big-Eared Monster a mental attribute boost wouldn't immediately increase its combat power much, as it couldn't convert the attribute into combat power. So, the effect of the mutated blood might not seem so high.

Although to fully utilize the attribute, overall strength needs to increase, a highly suitable attribute can still bring about a dramatic change in strength.

This is just the basic effect; the more significant effect comes later.

Each time a unit level is upgraded, its strength increases based on the amount of evolution power it gains. Even if the attribute has already been developed to the highest level, it will still increase a little with each upgrade. It might not seem like much at first, but when the unit truly grows, this attribute will be extremely high, possibly reaching the level of an eighth-level unit by the seventh level. Without over-leveling, it would at least be an invincible existence at the same level.

Liu Siyi was very regretful. If he had obtained this mutated blood earlier, he would have used it on himself without hesitation. Using it now would still increase his strength, but the effect would be much less. Especially after seeing the human sixth-level cavalry unit's mutation already reach the strength of a seventh-level unit and witnessing the Dragon Knight's abilities, he hesitated.

Imagine if this bottle of mutated blood were used on the seventh-level Mantid Seal Crystal, then every week a mutated Mantid could be recruited. Over time, as the number of mutated Mantids increased, the boost in combat power would be terrifying.

However, no matter how powerful his subordinates were, they were still subordinates. His own strength was the fundamental. This was like choosing skills during an upgrade; only by truly becoming stronger himself could he build a more powerful force and challenge even more powerful forces.

Damn! This time, Liu Siyi was really conflicted. Why could it only be used once? If it could be used multiple times, or even infinitely, every unit could be enhanced.

Daydreaming is endless, but Liu Siyi quickly returned to reality. Should he use it on himself to gain an attribute comparable to the Mutated Two-Headed Dragon Lord, or use it on the seventh-level Mantid Seal Crystal unit building? For the moment, he couldn't decide.

Should he use it on himself now to gain an attribute comparable to the Mutated Two-Headed Dragon Lord, or use it on the seventh-level Mantid Seal Crystal unit building? Liu Siyi decided to think about it more carefully. After all, there was still a week before the next recruitment, so there was no rush.
