Chapter 168 Promote Robert!
James sent a voice message, clearly worried Alan might not hold up.
James: "Alan, do we need to step in? The number of players is increasing."
Alan: "No problem."
Alan's response was short and confident. This wasn't Central City, and he wasn't the same Ice King who had just left the beginner's village.
Alan mused, 'Today, I want to see what these ordinary players can do to me!'
With that thought, ice wings sprouted from Alan's back, and he soared into the sky.
Five arrows shot out simultaneously, splitting into more, and Alan's arrows rained down furiously.
Meanwhile, Alan allocated all his free attribute points to attack speed.
His attack speed was already 24.9. Now, with an additional 4,700 points, it skyrocketed to 39.2!
With the surge in attack speed, Alan's output became terrifying.
With five arrows at once, Alan could fire nearly two hundred arrows per second.
Previously, he could kill over a thousand players per second. Now, the number exceeded two thousand.
Alan's ice wings could last for five minutes, more than enough time to clear out these players.
Moreover, Alan discovered that even by hunting players, his Nether Bow could still be upgraded.
In Flora City, Mia was shocked by Alan's actions. She said worriedly, "This Ice King is terrifying. How long until reinforcements arrive?"
The general replied, "The fastest will take another fifteen minutes."
Hearing this, Mia sighed. She ordered, "Prepare to retreat. Flora City can't be defended."
"What?" The general defending the city looked incredulous.
The general questioned, "Lord Mayor, aren't you overestimating the Ice King? Our city guards haven't suffered heavy casualties."
"Just watch. In five minutes, we won't be able to hold on." Mia's eyes were deep with disappointment. She remarked, "The Ice King's power is beyond our imagination."
The general said, "Lord Mayor, I'll go and hold him off for five minutes."
"You?" Mia smiled dismissively. She said, "Five seconds, maybe. Five minutes, you'll die many times over."
The general was incredulous. He questioned, "Lord Mayor, do you really think so highly of the Ice King?"
Mia replied, "It's not overestimating but the truth."
As Mia spoke, Alan triggered two fire meteors in one second, killing over two thousand players.
A minute passed in the blink of an eye.
One hundred and thirty thousand players fell in that minute.
Alan looked at the situation, speechless.
Previously, he had destroyed the beginner's village, accumulating a million Infamy Value.
But now, in one minute, he had gained so much Infamy Value by killing players.
[Server-wide announcement: Flora City's treasury is empty. The city defense bounty mission is canceled from now on. No rewards will be given for dying or controlling the attackers.]
This server-wide announcement left many people dumbfounded.
A player cried, "Run!"
Without rewards, these players naturally wouldn't continue to die in vain.
Alan smirked. He scoffed, "Is Flora City's treasury really that empty? I thought you could hold on a bit longer."
The claim that Flora City's treasury was empty was definitely false. A city like Central City couldn't have such little funds.
It was clear Mia realized this was a losing battle; they couldn't stop Alan at all.
After the city defense bounty mission was canceled, the remaining city guards had no chance against Alan and quickly crumbled.
Heading to the city hall, he found it deserted. Flora City had fallen!
The leader in the black robe immediately led the demon army to occupy Flora City.
Black Robed Leader complimented, "Ice King, you're truly impressive. It took you less than five minutes to capture Flora City."
The leader in the black robe was pleased, clearly not expecting Alan to capture a city so quickly.
Alan faintly smiled. He replied, "This was a minor issue. However, after this, they should be more cautious."
The leader in the black robe squinted. He inquired, "What do you want?"
Clearly, the leader in the black robe knew Alan well enough to guess what he wanted as soon as he spoke.
Alan replied, "Free attribute points."
"What did you say?" The leader in the black robe was surprised because Alan rarely asked for such things. He commented, "At your level, free attribute points shouldn't be of much help to you."
Alan explained, "Indeed, but I'm asking for my partners. This time, they were careless, and their defensive forces were insufficient."
The leader in the black robe said, "I'd like to see who can be your partner."
Alan sent messages to Robert and James, asking them to come in.
When James and Robert entered, the leader in the black robe frowned. He remarked, "These are your partners? They haven't killed our Night Stalkers any less before."
Alan grinned. He said, "That was in the past. Now I've made a deal with them to help you."
The leader in the black robe asked, "How many free attribute points do you need?"
Alan said, "The more, the better."
"A thousand?" the leader in the black robe tested.
"Three thousand." Alan pulled Robert over. He suggested, "Give him three thousand, and I won't ask for any more rewards until we attack Star City."
"Three thousand free attribute points." The leader in the black robe hesitated, unsure if Alan was playing him.
After all, three thousand free attribute points was a big number.
"We've had a pleasant cooperation so far. You should trust me." Alan saw the leader in the black robe's hesitation and spoke directly. "Besides, I captured Flora City first before negotiating, which shows my sincerity."
"Alright." The leader in the black robe nodded in agreement and gave Robert three thousand free attribute points in one go.
Robert's hands trembled with excitement.
Three thousand, to him, was equivalent to a boost of fifteen thousand free attribute points.
With the first talent effect, he actually gained fifteen thousand free attribute points.
With the second talent effect, his ten basic attributes each received a boost of fifteen thousand free attribute points.
His attack surpassed eighty thousand, his health exceeded six hundred thousand, and his attack speed, movement speed, and armor penetration reached terrifying levels.
Alan said, "Alright, in that case, we'll take our leave. The next city, Lone Wind City, be prepared."
The leader in the black robe said, "Looking forward to your good news."
Leaving the city hall of Flora City, Robert jumped up excitedly.
Robert exclaimed, "Alan, I love you! I feel like even those with god-level talents don't have as high a talent boost as I do."
He then added, "These free attribute points, if I relied on leveling up, I wouldn't get this many even if I reached level one thousand."
