Era of Magic and Martial Arts

Chapter 68: Consecutive Breakthrough Inheritance Rewards Bronze Treasure Chest


The atmosphere in the car was slightly dull.

There were four people in the car.

Ma Wei was driving. As a small potato who had just picked up a life, he was sitting upright in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands and keeping his eyes straight forward.

Ma Bin was sitting in the passenger seat. Having just been cursed with the Tongue Root Death Curse, he didn't feel like talking, playing with the glass eye in his hand, which looked somewhat eerie.

The eyeball was gouged out from Zheng Si's face.

Zheng Si lay in the rear compartment of the car, holding a head in his arms that was missing an eye, and he was the one with the most peaceful mind in the car at the moment.

Feng Mu sat in the spacious back seat, the pale mask re-covered with the black mask, he was resting with his eyes closed, browsing the overdue settlement prompts on his retina.

[You've used schemes to deceive a fool and located the Nine Nether Evil Iron, you're truly despicable.]

[You defied the Chief Constable of the Patrol Office, defeated the Law Enforcer head-on, and took a solid step on the road of wrongdoing. Congratulations, you're now on the Patrol Office's wanted list; it's a day worth celebrating.]

[Inheritance Level ↑]

[You initiated the Feast and tasted the first drop of blood. You broke through the baseline, shattered the shackles confining yourself, your mindset is quietly changing, and you're growing into an unscrupulous villain.]

[Inheritance Level ↑↑]

[You severely injured your father by bloodline—not once, but again. You're getting colder, starting to renounce your kin. On the path of killing your father to prove a point, you've surpassed 90% of villains. Hope you continue to excel.]

[Inheritance Level ↑↑↑]

[You bewitched 44 souls with power, becoming the delicacies on your dining table. You don't need to deny it; you look forward to their self-cooking, expecting their ripe death.]

[Inheritance Level ↑]

[You don't believe in anyone, regardless of loyalty, you indiscriminately planted the Evil Spiritual Technique on them. Compared to loyalty or emotion, your inner self tends to bound subordinates with death. You're a tyrannical dictator by nature.]

[Inheritance Level ↑]

[Today has been a diverse day.]

[You are transforming, actively embracing the abyss of darkness.]

[You have achieved a villain's enlightenment!]

[Inheritance Level settlement underway…]

[Inheritance Level surpasses 4%, your reward has been delivered, please check and receive it.]

[Inheritance Level surpasses 5%, your reward has been delivered, please check and receive it.]

[Detected that your Inheritance Level has breached a key node, you've unlocked a treasure chest, please check and receive…]

Receiving rewards is always the most pleasant time of the day. Fighting tooth and nail is ultimately for the growth reward.

"Breaking through 2 percentage points at once, what a pleasant surprise, but it also shows that the system is tempting me to cause trouble."

"Especially when large-scale killing boosts the level fastest. If I get out of the vehicle now and find a way to turn Zone 9 into a no-man's land, wouldn't the Inheritance Level instantly max out?"

Feng Mu thought to himself, though it was merely a mental thought, he aimed to be a villain but not a beast with no humanity.

At the least, he needed a justifying reason like Planning Office Director Thanos to randomly unleash widespread destruction.

Under the mask, Feng Mu chuckled slightly and consecutively received the 4% and 5% Inheritance Level rewards.

[You gained General Skill Proficiency *20000]

[You gained Ordinary Attribute Points *3]

Two rewards at once are more delightful than a single one.

Feng Mu took a deep breath, feeling that the fatigue accumulated from a day of fighting and strategizing was exhaled away.

"General Skill Proficiency, perfect timing, as I've just acquired two New Martial Arts Manuals, and now need Skill Proficiency."

"Additionally, hmm... I probably won't lack low-grade Martial Arts Secret Manuals in the future. At least those hung for sale in bookstores, Ma Bin should be able to afford them."

"If Ma Bin can afford them, it means I can too, as he's my [offline], I won't need to extort him ever again, because his money should naturally be under my command, no problem."

The face under the [mask] broke into a floral smile, it's not easy, he suddenly hoped for rewards like [1% Inheritance Level] that require delivery, to come more frequently.

It would be best if the goods were delivered along with the courier in one go.

Ma Bin, playing with the eyeball in the passenger seat, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He glanced at the rear-view mirror and shivered intensely upon meeting the gaze of the [mask].

He couldn't describe the gaze, lacking malice and full of enthusiasm, yet Ma Bin felt as if he was being stared at by a greedy crocodile.

"What is the [online] scheming?" Ma Bin felt slightly uneasy.

Feng Mu withdrew his gaze, refocusing on the prompt box—[Ordinary Attribute Points *3].

With his consciousness entering it, a brand new template was unlocked.

Feng Mu

Strength: 5.7 (1.1+4.6)

Agility: 1.2 (0.8+0.4)

Constitution: 2.1 (0.9+1.2)

Spirit: 1.1 (1+0.1)

Note: Attribute Value = Base Value + Added Value

Added Value comes from [entry], [skill], [traits], [equipment], [secret technique], etc., for value increase.

This panel differs from the game's original, obviously patched with the game descending into reality, but understanding it isn't difficult.

Feng Mu pondered briefly and understood: "Using my highest attribute strength as an example, 1.1 is my inherent value, the added 4.6 mainly derives from [Iron Eater] modifying bones, possibly a bit comes from [Crane Claw Skill]."

"By analogy, the 0.4 added value is likely from [Crane Claw Skill], as [Iron Eater] doesn't increase agility."

"The Constitution's 1.2 added value should derive from [Iron Eater], possibly with influence from [Frenzy Blood], while the Spirit's 0.1 conjecturedly comes from [Tongue Root Death Curse]?"

Value calculation isn't entirely transparent, and Feng Mu's too lazy to delve deeper, as he's not the technical emperor who strategizes based on values while gaming.

Almost good enough, ultimately,[entry], [skill], [traits], [equipment], [secret technique]... lots of these, the more the better.

As long as there's no quantity limit, stack them to the death.

"Well, talking about my [equipment] slot, is it still locked?" Feng Mu casually grumbled.

No need to guess, he knew it would definitely require reaching a certain Inheritance Level value, obtaining the first piece of equipment, to unlock the [equipment template].

All the system's tricks revolve around [Inheritance Level], as he's the one starting to taste sweetness, biting onto the bait… like a piranha.

Seeing the extremely biased attribute values, Feng Mu couldn't help but sigh, the original body's foundation was indeed poor, he could barely make the attributes presentable through relentless efforts.

Feng Mu wasn't in a hurry to allocate points, as there would be an ambush battle soon, to estimate the enemy's strength for targeted point allocation.

General Skill Proficiency has prerequisites, requiring initial skill entry. Adding Attribute Points doesn't need any, supposedly they should be added immediately.

"Hmm..."

Feng Mu's suspicion arose again, trying to allocate a point first.

[Agility 1.2 (0.8+0.4) → 2.2 (1.8+0.4)]

Due to low base attribute values, even adding just 1 point, Feng Mu's feeling was very apparent.

"The body seems lighter, not weight-wise, but gravity's binding feels halved." Feng Mu sensed the bodily changes.

Subjective feelings were incredibly personal, hardly scientific, Feng Mu understood this was agility suddenly doubling, causing the body organs to deliver a false impression to the brain.

Feng Mu wasn't too serious, the specific 1-point agility boost effect needed battlefield testing.

"Then, there's the unlocked treasure chest..."

Feng Mu opened the panel, finding a bronze treasure chest shimmering with alluring lights.

[You unlocked a bronze treasure chest!]

[You gained the following rewards:

1. You gained Special Skill Points *1.

2. You gained an Evil Spiritual Technique: Blood Bar Deceit Eye.

3. You activated a lurking [Destiny] tactical squad, they are…]

"Arrived."

Ma Bin's voice interrupted Feng Mu's thoughts. He closed the panel and looked out the car window…
