Chapter 263 Creation Jade Plate
[Ding, you got the Creation Jade Plate.]
Alan was floored.
The God of All Things just handed him his most powerful treasure.
Sure, Alan figured this Creation Jade Plate was probably a watered-down version.
But still, it was the freaking Creation Jade Plate!
[Creation Jade Plate: Divine Gift.]
[Requirement: Only for the Ice King.]
[Effect 1: Your learning speed is a hundred times faster.]
[Effect 2: Any attack you take gets recorded by the Creation Jade Plate, so you can study it later.]
[Durability: Indestructible.]
[Note: Only the God of All Things can take it away; no one else can, no matter what.]
Alan's breath quickened.
Alan muttered, "Is this really the Creation Jade Plate? It's insanely powerful!""
The strength of a domain was tied to understanding mental power. Mental power could be used in any attack, with endless possibilities and extreme power.
The two functions of the Creation Jade Plate were basically setting him on the path to godhood.
With this treasure, even if he reached a semi-saint level, Alan figured he'd still be in awe of the God of All Things.
Collecting his thoughts, Alan stepped up to Ambrose.
"So, have you made up your mind?" Alan asked with a grin.
"Kill me if you dare, otherwise, shut up," Ambrose shot back.
A cold glint flashed in Alan's eyes. He had planned to drag Ambrose to a brothel in the Oceanus Kingdom to make him hand over the pre-quest scroll for the Blessing of the Gods.
Now it seemed Ambrose didn't deserve it.
"Alright then." Alan pulled out the Underworld Longbow, which could boost its stats by killing life forms.
As a three-time job change golden-level boss, Ambrose would definitely boost the Underworld Longbow's stats.
Alan's arrows flew, taking Ambrose down in one shot.
After killing Ambrose, Alan checked the Underworld Longbow's current stats.
[Underworld Longbow: Special.]
[Requirement: Archer.]
[Effect 1: After killing an enemy with the Underworld Longbow, it absorbs the soul power to boost its stats.]
[Effect 2: Lifesteal +2.05%.]
[Effect 3: Attack speed +3.11.]
[Effect 4: Movement speed +6.22.]
[Effect 5: Health +19012.]
[Effect 6: MP +19012.]
[Durability: Indestructible.]
The Underworld Longbow's stats had improved a lot.
But for Alan right now, it wasn't a huge help.
Alan's current attack speed was 76+, and a three-point increase wouldn't push it to 79. It was like adding free attribute points to attack speed, with diminishing returns as the attack speed got higher.
Within ten points of attack speed, equipment added one point for each point. Beyond ten, equipment added one point, but the actual increase was 0.5 points.
Beyond twenty, it was 0.25, beyond thirty, it was 0.125, and so on.
So the three-point increase in attack speed on Alan's current speed was negligible. It was the same deal with movement speed.
Alan's current movement speed was already over 45, equivalent to 0.5 to the fourth power times six, so the result was predictable.
The six-point increase in movement speed would only raise Alan's current speed by 0.375. The extra 0.22 could be ignored.
After dealing with Ambrose, Alan didn't rush to act.
He had two options now.
First up, he could go after the gods to beef up the Soul Gathering List. Sure, it was risky, but the rewards were huge.
Plus, Kenneth's pre-quest scroll for the Blessing of the Gods was tied to the Sea God. Just adding gods to the Soul Gathering List was a thrill in itself.
The Sea God, Night Spirit God, and Silver-Eyed Nicholas had all gotten in his way. Alan figured it was time for a serious chat with them.
The second option was to revive the ancient Jinse Empire first.
But before that, he had a small task to handle.
He needed to pick up the loot dropped by the NPCs.
Two divine envoys, one divine slave, and a bunch of boss-level NPC corpses were still lying around.
Leaving the loot behind would be a waste.
[Ding, you got 2 skill books.]
[Ding, you got 2 pieces of equipment.]
[Ding, you got 500 free attribute points.]
[Ding, you got a Vampire Marquis Token.]
[Ding, you got 100,000 gold coins.]
[Ding, you got...]
The first item Alan picked up was from Oberon. Not a bad haul from Oberon.
As a divine envoy, 500 free attribute points were decent, though using them to boost attack speed would be a waste.
In his past life, Alan's attack speed was only 13.5, mainly because the more points he added later, the more free attribute points he needed.
Especially for attack speed and movement speed, most archers would add points up to around ten, or even less. Because other attributes needed free attribute points too.
Of course, everyone had different talents, and most point distributions revolved around those talents.
Unfortunately, Alan had no talent in his past life, so he barely scraped by, He was just a low-level worker struggling to survive the great catastrophe.
As he kept picking up the NPC loot, Alan's rewards piled up.
Including the Ashbourne Family and Blood Crow Tower folks, Alan scored over 11,000 skill books, more than 21,000 pieces of equipment, and various materials and items this time.
Sadly, for the current Alan, most of it wasn't much help.
He pulled out the Code of Life and Death.
This health stacking couldn't stop.
"Alright, Night Spirit God, you're up."
"God of the Undead, what's the Night Spirit God's name again?"
Alan knew the name of the Night Spirit God's mother.
After all, her mother Nyx was Zeus's foster mother, highly respected by Zeus.
But he couldn't remember her daughter's name at the moment.
"Marigold," the God of the Undead replied.
"Right, that's it."
Alan wrote Night Spirit God Marigold in the Code of Life and Death.
"Done!"
As for why not write SnowflakeChaser?
Players couldn't stack health points during resurrection.
Besides, Alan wasn't about to give up his path over a petty grudge.
He killed Ambrose because he knew dragging him to the brothel would be pointless, and keeping him around would just be a headache.
"First, revive the ancient Jinse Empire, then find Billy for a job change, boost my strength, and then head to Sea God Island to chat with the Sea God about better coordinating arrows and the Divine Whip of Striking. Perfect!"
With his plan set, Alan waved to gather the undead army, summoned the Royal Portal, took a step, and vanished.
