Age of Ascension: Forging an Immortal Realm from Nothing

chapter 43 - Wu Chi Hits The Jackpot! (3/4)


Seeing Wu Chi snap out of his trance, Qin Keqing releases his lips, takes a step back, and says softly, "Young Master, desperate times call for desperate measures. Please don't be mad!""I'm going to go help Sister Daiyu!" And with that, she runs off.Qin Keqing is completely unaffected by the [Three-headed Buddha Child]'s insidious chanting. Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, is struggling to resist, forced to retreat and unable to break through the psychic barrier to attack the boss. Qin Keqing's arrival is just in the nick of time, helping to stabilize the situation."This boss is fucking weird," Wu Chi mutters, touching his lips with a complicated expression. He quickly backs away.Suddenly, a furious roar echoes from the distance. The remaining 23 Peppa boars, their eyes bloodshot from the chanting, are now charging straight for the three of them.[Hint: Your 23 units of [Steel-Armored Wild Boar] have been mind-controlled by the Buddha's Chant and are now temporarily the enemy's puppets.]It seems the chant's effectiveness is tied to one's Spirit stat. Wu Chi couldn't handle it at all, Lin Daiyu could barely resist, and Qin Keqing was totally immune. As for the boars… well, they're not exactly the brightest bulbs, and the creepy chanting has successfully brainwashed them."You have got to be kidding me!" Wu Chi can't help but complain, though he's not too worried. The boars are only strong because of the territory's buffs. Without them, they're just angry bacon.Sure enough, the moment their allegiance changes, the defense towers automatically retarget and mow down the charging boars in a matter of seconds.After that, it's an all-out assault on the boss. It roars and chants, but Wu Chi is now far away, the towers are immune, and with the two {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Golden Heroes whaling on it, it's only a matter of time. Slowly but surely, they grind its health down to zero.BOOM—!At last, the massive, fleshy body collapses, the benevolent and peaceful expression on its hideous face making for a truly bizarre sight."Battle Cleared!""Calculating Results!"The notification pops up. Wu Chi lets out a long sigh of relief. "It's finally… over…"Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing walk over, both looking disheveled, covered in blood and sweat."Young Master…" Sister Lin gives him a look.Wu Chi knows what she's asking. He nods. "It's over. You can go rest.""Finally…" Sister Lin sighs, exhausted. "I'm going to go wash up.""Yeah, you too, Keqing," Wu Chi says with a wave. The two girls bow and take their leave.Watching them go, Wu Chi turns his attention to the reward panel.[Battle Cleared]:Enemies: 2000 Calamity Beasts, 2000 Elite Calamity Beasts, 3000 Desert Lizardmen, 3000 Elite Desert Lizardmen, 1 BOSS [Three-headed Buddha Child].Battle Rating: SSS.Base Rewards: 10,000 Void Essence Stones, 1 Free Attribute Point.Additional Rewards (SSS Rank): 10,000 Void Crystals, 10,000 Void Essence Stones, Epic Troop Token [Great Qin Sharpshooters], Rare Troop Token [Rogue Archers], Epic Troop Token [Moon Palace Cultivators], [Arrow Tower] x4, Rare Class Change Certificate [Garuda Buddha Child], Skill Book [Gulp Down the Heavens]."An SSS rank… well, at least all that suffering was worth it," Wu Chi says, a tired smile spreading across his face. The wall was breached, several towers were destroyed, and all the boars were dead. It was a steep price to pay.That boss was terrifyingly strong."So this is why those rich kids don't bring high-level buildings and troops in at the start," he realizes. "Without the right talent and abilities, you'd just get yourself killed." The novice trial was, in a way, a level playing field. A chance for the common man to surpass the geniuses. (Unless, of course, you're a cheater like him.)"So many rewards… let's take a closer look.""A total of 20,000 Void Essence Stones and 10,000 Void Crystals… holy shit!""Three troop tokens? Two purple and one green?""Is this the boss's class change certificate? Hell no, get that shit away from me!""And this is… a martial arts secret technique?"Wu Chi goes through the rewards one by one, the smile on his face slowly morphing into a twisted, maniacal grin.From this day forward… Wu Chi is filthy stinking rich!!
