Chapter 68 James's Talent
"Ice King..." Susan pondered before asking, "How did he know?"
Barbara shook her head and replied, "Not sure, but this is definitely a problem. Should we..."
At this point, Barbara made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Kill? Adventurers can't be killed! Even if he dies, he can resurrect."
"Imprison?"
"Useless." Susan's eyes deepened, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, a meaningful smile appeared on her face. "I know what to do."
Alan was unaware of all this.
After sending Leona off, he continued hunting Bloodback Turtles.
According to his past life memories, he needed to clear out the Bloodback Turtles eighteen times for the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle to appear.
Defeating the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle would unlock the Blackwater Lake game dungeon.
Once, twice...
Alan tirelessly kept grinding.
His Infamy Value was slowly decreasing, and his health was gradually increasing.
To gain more health, Alan didn't even equip the Tear of the Goddess of Life.
With an additional 20% health, even elite Bloodback Turtles couldn't withstand more than a few hits.
As time passed, a warrior came running over happily.
"Alan, I'm here."
It was none other than James.
He had concealed his nickname, but Alan still recognized him.
"I'll addyou into the guild first."
Alan invited James into the Lone Ranger Guild.
James was amazed. "Alan, you're incredible. Honestly, I didn't know you were the Infamy Value player before."
James was still explaining when he saw the changes in his attributes and was stunned.
"Holy crap!"
"Alan, this is invincible!"
Currently, Alan's Lone Ranger Guild was five-star, and the buffs for guild members were: 1% damage increase, 10% critical hit, +20 attack power, +3 movement speed, +1 attack speed, and +10,000 health.
These six traits were absolutely unbeatable at this stage.
Moreover, because of the guild traits, all guild members could receive these six attribute buffs, which was the most insane part.
One person getting these attribute boosts was just average.
But if a thousand people, ten thousand people, all received these buffs, the increase in combat power would be unbeatable.
Especially with future guild power rankings and national wars.
At that time, these buffs would be particularly important.
"Calm down. Take this Master-level Talent Awakening Stone and awaken your talent."
James's eyes widened. "Master-level?"
"Alan, you're just giving it to me like that? I saw on the forum that someone sold a super high-level Talent Awakening Stone for five million."
Alan waved his hand. "Just take it."
"Having a pro as a mentor is different," James said.
James took the Talent Awakening Stone and began to awaken his talent.
Alan already knew about James's talent from his past life.
[Master-level Talent: Soul Bind.]
[Soul Bind: 1 Star.]
[Effect 1: You can bind a friendly unit with Soul Bind and gain all their health, physical defense, and magical defense boosts.]
[Effect 2: The teammate you bind can receive a 10% boost in health, physical defense, and magical defense.]
[Proficiency: 0/10.]
[Note: This proficiency is based on the number of bosses you and your bound teammate kill that are not lower than your level.]
With each star level increase, this talent allowed James to bind one more friendly unit.
At max stars, James could bind ten friendly units simultaneously.
In other words, that's eleven times the attributes!
If James could find ten strong teammates, he would become invincible.
"This talent..."
Seeing his talent, James said, somewhat displeased, "Alan, I feel like the system has punished me. This is it? A Master-level talent."
Alan grinned. "You haven't realized the power of this talent yet. Try binding me now."
[Player Invincible Fatso requests to establish a Soul Bind with you. Do you agree?]
"Agree."
This Soul Bind has no negative impact on the bound person; instead, it increases their health, magical defense, and physical defense.
Alan's current physical and magical defense could be ignored.
A 10% increase didn't seem like much.
But Alan's health was high, and a 10% increase meant tens of thousands more. In the later stages, the increase would be even more.
"Holy crap..."
After binding Alan, James was stunned.
He watched his health bar shoot up from over ten thousand to five hundred thousand in an instant!
"Alan, your attributes are insane, higher than most bosses' health."
Alan waved his hand and checked the time.
"I'll help you level up first. Add some attack power and get ready to kill me later."
James was taken aback. "Kill you?"
"Greyfawn's bounty. Better you get it than someone else."
"This doesn't seem right! Your Infamy Value, if you die, won't it drop to level one?"
"Let it drop. Leveling up is easy for me."
Alan didn't mind; he wasn't showing off.
Mainly because, for him, leveling up was indeed simple.
He sent James a party invite, with experience points split 90-10, James getting 90.
After all, Alan couldn't level up anymore, so keeping the experience was a waste.
In one round, they could kill five Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtles. After two rounds, James's talent leveled up.
At two stars, he could bind two friendly units.
"Alan, you're really incredible," James said.
Alan remained indifferent.
"Stay calm. Also, don't consider any job change below Master-level. If it's a God-level hidden class, go for it."
"Got it." James nodded.
Alan knew some strategies for the warrior's hidden classes.
There were intermediate ones, but only one God-level, and it wasn't in Stellaria.
"If it doesn't work out, just switch to a regular class and give up on hidden classes."
Alan continued, "BSwitching to a regular class allows you to switch to a hidden class later. But if you switch to a low-level hidden class, without special items, it's almost impossible to change to another hidden class."
"I see." James nodded.
He could sense that Alan was very familiar with this game,
but he couldn't pinpoint just how familiar.
"Also, I'll promote you to vice president of the guild. You can recruit some experts."
"Okay."
As they talked, Alan continued to help James grind.
Before long, James reached level 20. He needed to complete a job change quest to continue leveling up.
"You can go to Central City to switch to a regular class first, then come back to me. The timing should be just right," Alan said.
Barbara said she would come to see him tonight. By the time he killed the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle and cleared the Blackwater Lake dungeon, the timing would be just right.
"Okay," James replied.
