1230: Chapter 1216: Fragment of Wisdom 1230: Chapter 1216: Fragment of Wisdom [A supremely magnificent victory…
A dazzling triumph against all odds in a battle of despairing strength!]
[Now calculating the strength of both sides, data is unquantifiable, taking the upper limit….1:999 (upper limit), this is an extremely brilliant victory of the weak over the strong!]
[Ding, congratulations to the Host, a brilliant victory, rated as utterly perfect!
The life offerings collected during the ceremony will be purified and sacrificed, conferring extra boosts to your Occupational Traits and attributes.
Please check for yourself.]
When this series of prompts appeared on Lu Ping’an’s system panel, he felt joy mixed with a slight sense of relief.
“The War Ceremony verdict, there was no way I could win, could there…”
Perhaps if Lu Ping’an had chosen to confront the enemy head-on, tragedy would have been his only destiny.
[You have obtained the spoils of war ‘Skeleton of Thousand Eyes (unknown tier)’]
What lay before Lu Ping’an was a black skull, adorned with hundreds of dried-up eyeballs of varying sizes, looking particularly unsettling.
Lu Ping’an casually tossed it, embedding it into the War Flag.
[You have obtained the War Trait, Courage in Desperation (Upper Silver): After you declare war, your warriors can receive courage enhancements to confront various types of fears.
The more dire the situation, the more your call can invoke their courage to fight to the death.
Note: This ability will improve in tandem with the soldiers’ Professional Advancement.]
This Trait, Lu Ping’an had heard of before, often rewarded only in cases where one faced an opponent deemed unbeatable and yet emerged victorious…
Although it was a gift from the Warlord, it was indeed quite rare.
[You have obtained the War Trait, Master of Corruption (Silver Mid-position): When entering a state of war, the ‘corrosive’ attacks of your soldiers will receive Piercing enhancements to their defense.]
[You have obtained the War Trait…]
The Warlord was generous.
Through this war, Lu Ping’an obtained a total of six war Traits, and although only two of the Silver-tier had notable effects, the Warlord normally grew stronger with each battle.
Typically, a power would nurture a “War Commander” with the flesh and life of friend and foe alike…..
Most of the time it would be superfluous, but in a true war environment, it’s best to have one.
However, reality differs from games, and the opportunity to be involved in a war is considerably rare….
Before this, the small skirmishes Lu Ping’an had partaken in had barely provided him any War Traits; this time, he had had his fill.
In theory, if Lu Ping’an worshipped a War Deity, perhaps sacrificing to it before war could result in additional gains, including Divine Grace…
but Lu Ping’an seemed to have no such plans.
And under Lu Ping’an’s watchful eyes, the real spoils of war began to be acquired.
The stone was once again produced and placed next to the huge corpse.
The next moment, a large amount of black shadows seeped out from the corpse, then flowed into the black stone.
Several minutes later, everything returned to calm, but this time, the massive monster’s corpse began to disintegrate…
Lu Ping’an took in a breath of cold air, feeling somewhat afraid…
not that he was worried about the integrity of the creature, but because he saw Zhi Xi looking regretfully at the pieces of meat on the plate, as the parts that had just been carved out turned to ashes as well.
“I’m not going to eat it….
I won’t eat anything you bring me for the next half month.”
Lu Ping’an ignored the disappointed look from behind him and focused on the stele in front of him.
[Fragment of Wisdom’s Fountain Stele A (unknown tier): One of the fragments of an ‘Authority of Wisdom’ from a certain world.]
The description was becoming simpler, but the power contained within was visible to the naked eye.
[Does the Host want to have it absorbed by the courtyard?
Estimated absorption time is fifty-six hours (the courtyard will enter dormant status for at least ten hours), and will provide feedback with two rule buildings (unknown tier) and break down to obtain 20,000 life-points.]
The courtyard directly raised the acquisition price significantly, and Lu Ping’an was still hesitating…
[Note: If you hold this fragment, you will be attracted and resonate with other similar fragments.]
[Note: The value of the fragment is extremely high, and its bearers will be actively sought out by deities.]
[Note: Fragments of Wisdom have been sensed in the Mortal World, three in number.
After Fusion, you can expand the search range and shield the fluctuation of your own fragments.]
So it’s a threat now, it seems there’s no need to hesitate anymore.
and while you’re at it, give our people a break.”
After the war ended, it was time to invite those villagers back…
At this point, Lu Ping’an and his group encountered some trouble.
“They don’t want to come back?
“They’re worried that if they come back, you’ll ask them to return the money.”
Lu Ping’an opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
“Didn’t you explain the current situation?
I’m not going to ask them to return the money…”
“We did, but they don’t believe us.”
Alright, too realistic, Lu Ping’an sighed and decided not to bother with it.
But on second thought, the village was so contaminated now that it indeed seemed unsuitable for mortals to live in.
The monster might have turned to ash, but who knows how much of its “Green Water” was left, and whether some Spider Monkeys had managed to survive.
“Go, exterminate them all…”
Lu Ping’an once again released the Wolf pack, as he had no intention of allowing these Spider Monkeys to live.
If they indeed became a new Intelligent Race, a vengeful Newborn Intelligent Species…
It was better to eradicate them thoroughly before such trouble arose.
And the course of events seemed to validate Lu Ping’an’s estimation.
Ultimately, the Assassins and the Wolf pack completed all their tasks, causing the Spider Monkeys of Ben Island to go completely extinct.
But considering there were at least two Fragments of Wisdom left…
the real trouble might have just begun.
“It wasn’t just fragments of Wisdom that fell, but hundreds of meteors; worrying about that is premature…”
The world was likely destined for chaos.
“Since we’re idle anyway, let’s help with the reconstruction…”
People on Lu Ping’an’s side had been sent out of the courtyard, and since they were idle, they took a two-day break and also reconstructed the village.
During this process, they even witnessed another Meteor Shower.
But this time, the situation was slightly eerie; Lu Ping’an didn’t feel the sense of “melancholy” as before, as if it was neither a Godfall nor the fall of “fragments.”
Lu Ping’an inquired with his own little helper, but this time, he received no answer.
As the AI of the courtyard, she had naturally entered sleep too, waiting for the “system upgrade.”
And without the courtyard, Lu felt a subtle sense of independence and loneliness…
It had been a long time since he’d experienced the quiet without someone nagging by his ear.
But happiness is always fleeting; the time for the system upgrade passed in the blink of an eye.
When the time finally came, just as the courtyard’s door was restored, Lu Ping’an was the first to enter.
Only to be greeted with a huge “surprise” at first glance…
You have a body now?!”
