Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 210 Equipment, Expertise, and Doubts

Murphy listened to the system prompt and was immediately delighted. How awesome! 2350 plot points, this was really awesome. He probably had the most points in this plot, except for Varian, the army commander.

After all, he summoned the Rain of Destruction, killed enough monsters, killed a bronze dragon, and even had a few fights with Hellscream.

It's a pity that Hellscream ran away in the end, otherwise there would be more of him, and maybe he could have directly upgraded to two levels.

Of course, another reason is that there are too many heroes participating in the battle, so each person's influence on the plot will naturally be diluted. However, there is no way around it. Without fewer people, it will not be so easy to win the battle.

What made him feel helpless was that the progress of his darkening had actually increased again, so he had to be careful.

Once the progress of blackening exceeds 50%, he will become a neutral unit. A neutral unit means that he will not be wanted even if he is killed. In this way, it will be difficult for him to rely on his identity as a prince to make the enemies in the same camp afraid to act rashly.

Of course, becoming a neutral unit also has its advantages. Neutral units are able to communicate with many monster forces, and it is also relatively easier to improve relations with some neutral forces, such as the goblins in Booty Bay.

Once the blackening progress reaches 100%, it will directly turn into a humanoid monster and become a BOSS.

Murphy was not very resistant to this. It was fun to play as a BOSS. Being a hero was not bad, but he always felt restricted in doing things. He actually missed the days when he was the Black Dragon Lord. Moreover, once he became a BOSS, his health limit would be directly increased tenfold. When he entered a dungeon, he would have extra health bonus. He would be ten times stronger in the true sense of the word.

However, Murphy does not intend to turn evil so quickly. Once he turns evil and becomes a BOSS, it means that he will become the target of many heroes, so he must have enough strength before turning evil.

At the very least, you have to complete the first stage of the Dragon Feast mission and gain the ability to transform into a dragon.

Fortunately, I got another dragon heart this time. The goal of transforming into a dragon is just around the corner. But I don’t know what abilities this bronze dragon heart can give me.

Everyone else also heard the system prompt, and their gains varied depending on their performance in the story campaign.

In general, it is very fair. The more bravely you kill the enemies and the more you charge into the front, the more plot points you will get.

If you just hide behind others and randomly kill a few monsters, the plot points given will be relatively limited.

Sigrit was given relatively few plot points, with only over 500 plot points. Darabonba was much better, because he gave Hellscream a shield bash, which made him truly participate in the battle, and he was given over 1,000 plot points.

The three melee heroes among the five heroes of Blackgate have more than one thousand, close to two thousand plot points each because they confronted Hellscream for a long time and delayed the time. The two mages have much fewer points, only a little over one thousand.

Many heroes were directly upgraded, and everyone was busy counting their gains and new heroic specialties. Only story characters like Varian, Muradin, and Arthas had no idea about this.

Their expertise is acquired more naturally, often through a sudden flash of inspiration or epiphany between life and death in battle, or gradually mastered through hard training. This is completely different from the player's method of choosing one out of three points.

Murphy was also counting his own gains.

The first is the drop from the bronze dragon.

It's just a small skeleton level 3 BOSS, so the drops are not very surprising.

First of all, it is a dragon heart.

[Bronze Dragon Heart (core material)

Item introduction: The heart of the bronze dragon Noreldorm. It is said that only powerful dragons can give birth to a heart. Even though Noreldorm is dead, the dragon's heart still radiates the power of time.

This item can be used as a core material to create powerful magical equipment. It is said that the dwarves of Ironforge like this kind of thing very much. 】

Then there are 19 bronze dragon scales that are sure to drop from the dragon clan.

Next came a strange golden hourglass, except it was empty.

【Broken Time Hourglass (Junk)

(not available)

Item introduction: This strange hourglass made of pure gold is a special magic tool used by the bronze dragon clan. Legend has it that breaking the hourglass will release the sand of time inside and temporarily stop the flow of time.

Although this hourglass is broken and obviously unusable, it is still a fine work of art.

Poor bastard! Murphy looked at the dropped items speechlessly. Apart from the dragon heart and dragon scales, there was only a broken hourglass. Not a single usable equipment was dropped.

Well, it’s just a skeleton-level dragon, so you can’t expect too much from it.

(Lest you forget, the BOSS ranks are: Skeleton - Terror - Disaster - World - Destruction.)

Then Murphy checked the three specialties he had acquired this time.

1: City Defense Expert (Leadership Expertise). In a battle, you led your soldiers to defend against attacks from enemies that were several times your number. You thus learned the essentials of defensive warfare using fortifications.

Benefit: When you command a defensive operation, the soldiers you lead gain an additional +50 morale bonus.

2: Demon Summoner (Faction Expertise). You used powerful fel magic in a campaign to summon a large group of Hellfire demons from the Twisting Nether to join the battle, which had a huge impact on the battle situation. As a result, you attracted the attention of the Burning Legion, and they realized that another powerful demon summoner was born.

Expertise Effect : When you summon a demon, there is a very low probability of summoning a [Demon Lord]. The [Demon Lord] is a powerful individual far stronger than an ordinary demon and can serve you better. At the same time, the [Demon Lord] will issue legion missions to you. Completing such missions can obtain exclusive rewards from the Burning Legion, enhance your reputation in the Burning Legion, and also increase your blackening progress.

3: David vs. David (Combat Expertise). You survived a battle against a powerful hero of a higher level and rank than you, and have learned how to fight against enemies that are too powerful.

Expertise Effect: When facing an enemy that is too powerful, all of your game actions have a greater chance of success. This effect is only effective against enemies that are 25 levels higher than you or five levels higher than you.

Murphy browsed through the effects of the three specialties and immediately passed the City Defense Expert. This speciality was a rubbish speciality even for a lord player and was completely useless except in city defense battles.

This 50 morale is quite a lot. Once it is turned on, it basically means that the soldiers will not collapse for any reason. However, the triggering conditions are too tricky and city defense battles are too rare.

The Demon Summoner specialty is pretty good, but as I said before, it conflicts with his dragon clan's route, and his ability to summon demons depends entirely on equipment. If this thing is gone one day, then this specialty will be completely useless.

Finally, this expert in defeating the strong with the weak reminded him of the expert in the Sole Survivor that he had met once before. It also increased the probability of game judgment. Game judgment probability is very important. From bluffing to will struggle to weapon confrontation, basically everything falls into this category. Relatively speaking, the triggering conditions of this expert are better.

Of course, there is also a disadvantage, that is, once your level and rank are raised, this expertise will be of no use.

However, I am only at the second silver level, level 30. It will take a long time for me to reach the maximum level. I almost died today, so it would be good to have an extra layer of insurance.

It's you.

Murphy thought about it and clicked it hard.

System prompt: You have acquired a new expertise [Defeat the strong with the weak].

Then, Murphy looked at his attribute column again.

I leveled up nine times in one go today and gained 45 attribute points. I can finally improve my basic attributes.

He had already planned this.

Since you are going for the strength, agility and melee route, the four most important things to increase are life, endurance, strength and agility.

However, considering that I have to deal with the whispers of the Ancient Gods and the Demon King recently, perhaps I should increase my mental strength a little bit. I can't always rely on these two guys to fight each other.

Calculating at three, Murphy added the attribute points.
