Chapter 425: Demigod

"Huh?"

"Be, become a partner, what does that mean?" Hearing Yun Mu's words, Lita appeared somewhat bewildered.

"Of course it means a partner who can keep up with me and fight side-by-side!" Yun Mu smiled, not intending to explain too much.

Anyway, once Lita became her partner, the other party would know everything.

The only thing she needed to do now was to get Lita to agree.

"Do you want to?" Yun Mu smiled and looked at Lita: "Want to be with us..."

"I, I..." Lita appeared somewhat hesitant.

Of course she wanted to be with Yun Mu, but with her strength, it would be good enough if she didn't get in the way; she really had no ability... "I am asking for your thoughts, don't consider those other factors."

Yun Mu saw her struggle and said: "Lita just needs to tell me whether she wants to or not, that's all."

"Of course I want to!" Lita nodded without hesitation.

"Then come and become my partner!" Yun Mu extended an arm, posing as if inviting the other party.

"I..." Lita still wanted to say something, but after noticing Yun Mu's gaze, she swallowed the words in her mouth.

At this moment, an inexplicable impulse suddenly surged in her heart.

It was as if as long as she reached out and firmly grasped the person in front of her, the problems she had worried about before would all be resolved.

Could she really do it?

Could she catch up to that non-mediocre, shining back?

Lita slowly raised her right hand to reach toward that glimmer of light in the Darkness.

Finally, when the palms of the two Young Girls clasped together.

The Companion Invitation Ticket carried on Yun Mu's body suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

And when the light dissipated, what appeared before Yun Mu was the invitation information regarding Lita.

Is this Lita's attribute panel?

Level is lv18, it seems she has indeed worked quite hard during this time.

After all, once the level breaks through to lv11, it is a Second Rank Elite.

And the level progression of the Swordsman profession is inherently slower than other professions; yet Lita was able to increase seven levels in such a short time, there must have been a lot of hard work and sweat involved.

As for her attributes, there is nothing much to say.

A very typical Warrior profession panel, focusing on physical damage attack power, while also possessing a certain degree of tankiness.

If placed in the front row of the team, it would definitely be quite reassuring.

The only problem is that the level is too low.

Yun Mu temporarily stopped thinking about the level issue and instead carefully read through Lita's traits and skill descriptions.

As for Ocean Affinity, there was nothing much to say.

The description indicated that Lita had been blessed by the ocean at birth, so she would absolutely never get lost while sailing at sea, and her luck would increase.

As for the trait Sword Genius, Yun Mu herself possessed it as well.

Its effect was to increase the level of any sword-related skill by 3, which was quite useful for a Transcendental who used a sword as their weapon.

As for the five traits Natural Wielding, Keen Perception, Supernatural Luck, Sword Mastery, and Combat Mastery, there was even less to say.

They were all traits whose effects were clear just by looking at the descriptions.

Then, Yun Mu turned her gaze to Lita's skill panel. Combat and Swordsmanship both belonged to the passive skill category, and the rest... "A bit interesting." Yun Mu began to ponder the connections between Lita's various skills.

The core skill seemed to be 【Raging Wave】, which had the effect of moving herself forward by one unit, subsequently enhancing the three attributes of Dodge, speed, and Precision Correction, and converting all subsequent attacks into water-attribute damage.

Enemies hit by water-attribute damage would have a probability of being afflicted with negative debuffs such as 【Torrent】, 【Damp】, and 【Chill】.

And while in the 【Raging Wave】 state, some of Lita's skill effects would also change.

For example, the damage modifier for Raging Wave Swordsmanship would actually decrease, while the Bleeding effect of Advance Thrust would disappear, instead turning into a 95% probability Knockback effect.

Conversely, the damage modifiers for Whirlwind Slash and Cold Slash would increase significantly, though after unleashing Whirlwind Slash, Lita would exit the 【Raging Wave】 state.

As for the final 【Maintain Posture】 and 【Prayer】, they belonged to the recovery category of skills.

The former could restore Lita's own health at a critical moment, while the latter could be used on the entire team; although the recovery amount was not high, it could reduce the pressure on teammates.

Damn it, suddenly it feels a bit complicated; how is it that I feel like my brain is growing!? To summarize, Lita is a short-range melee character with high burst damage, but she basically cannot hit enemies in the back row.

And because her skill contains the 【Advance 1】 effect, Lita's best position is the first slot.

When not in the 【Raging Wave】 state, 【Raging Wave Swordsmanship】 and 【Advance Thrust】 should be the most frequently used skills.

And after entering the 【Raging Wave】 state, 【Cold Slash】 and 【Whirlwind Slash】 are better choices.

However, after 【Whirlwind Slash】 is unleashed, the 【Raging Wave】 state effect will be dispelled.

This point needs to be noted.

"Hmm, I feel like something is missing." Yun Mu stroked her chin and pondered in her heart.

Lita seemed to lack a skill or trait that allowed her to immediately enter the 【Raging Wave】 state.

In turn-based combat, wasting a turn to use the 【Raging Wave】 skill felt like a waste no matter how one looked at it.

Perhaps after she breaks through to become an Expert, this problem could be solved?

Yun Mu guessed in her heart.

At the same time, Lita, who had finally finished receiving the information in her mind, slowly opened her eyes.

Game Dungeon, turn-based combat, Gold Coin, leveling up, strengthening... So that's how it is.

"Is this Miss Yun's secret?" She looked somewhat excited.

"Can I... can I also become stronger like Miss Yun?" She looked at Yun Mu with a very expectant gaze.

"Of course you can." Yun Mu nodded without hesitation, but after she finished speaking, she thought of another problem and suddenly felt a bit uncertain: "That, actually there is still a bit of a problem."

The Dungeon difficulty she had unlocked now was a bit high; with Lita's level of lv18 alone, it was clearly insufficient for her to be her teammate.

She would likely be crushed to death by the high-level enemies' attributes before she could even do anything after entering.

As for using 【Gold Coin】 to level up Lita and Brenna, Yun Mu had already tried that long ago.

The answer was no.

It seemed that only companions she recruited in the Game Dungeon could use 【Gold Coin】 to level up.

Come to think of it, she herself couldn't even use Gold Coin to level up, let alone Brenna and Lita?

Of course, it wasn't as if there was no way.

The building she had previously unlocked, the 【Xunlianchang】, could increase her own character level.

Lita and Brenna should be able to as well.

But that thing could only be used once a week; counting on using the Xunlianchang to level up, I'm afraid... wait, it seems possible? Reasonably speaking, once a week isn't considered slow, right?

After Yun Mu broke through to the Master rank, the cooldown time for Dungeons had reached six months.

And one month in the other world was thirty-five days, equivalent to seven weeks.

Assuming Yun Mu spent Gold Coin to raise a teammate's level every week, that would be equivalent to... six times seven, forty-two levels!

Of course, the premise was that she had to have the Gold Coin to use for leveling up.

"Is that so?" After hearing Yun Mu's description, Lita did not feel disappointed; instead, she felt somewhat invigorated.

After all, raising one level per week wasn't considered slow at all, okay? Assuming she promoted to a Second-tier Elite at level lv11, even if she did nothing but wait for the weekly Xunlianchang to open.

It would only take 15 weeks to reach the Third-tier Expert level!

That was equivalent to a little over two months.

And that was assuming she didn't train at all.

If she subtracted the improvements gained from her own training, this speed could be even faster!

However, "Isn't this Xunlianchang only usable once a week? That..."

Lita looked a bit ashamed: "If this kind of thing is used on me every week, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste?"

"Of course not." Yun Mu smiled and held her hand: "Our levels don't have a need to increase for the time being; of course, the most important thing is that I don't have that many Gold Coin to use for leveling up."

"Instead of wasting the Xunlianchang's upgrade because I have no money, it's better to use it on Lita~"

This was a lie!

In reality, Yun Mu's current amount of Gold Coin was exploding; one could even say she was unprecedentedly wealthy.

This was mainly attributed to the monster tide faced at the end of the Abyss Gate dungeon.

At that time, before entering turn-based combat, Yun Mu and the others could be said to have had a blast killing.

One move would result in a large area of monsters falling, and each monster would provide about three thousand to four thousand Gold Coin.

Combined with the effects of Harvest and Pickpocketing, Yun Mu's current Gold Coin count is—

Six hundred thirty-three thousand nine hundred fourteen! It's almost enough to cover the cost of upgrading two Red Epic pieces of equipment to Black Mythical.

Although she wouldn't dare say she is incredibly wealthy, it is more than enough to upgrade herself and such.

Of course, there is no need to be in a rush to spend all these Gold Coins.

After all, one must not forget.

The effect of the building 【Bank】.

It can provide her with five percent interest on her Gold Coins every week!

Five percent of six hundred thirty-three thousand Gold Coins is... thirty-one thousand six hundred ninety-six Gold Coins! That much!?

She didn't realize it until she calculated it, and this calculation gave even Yun Mu a start.

Are you kidding me? Over thirty thousand in weekly interest is enough to upgrade a Purple Champion piece of equipment to Orange quality, okay? Calculated this way, upgrading Lita every week won't cost much at all.

Her Gold Coins will even continue to rise!

Hiss—

Bank, my superman! (End of chapter)
