A turquoise token slowly disappeared from Jiang Yan's hand, and a vast and pure energy flowed into his body.
The source of magical power, which was originally the size of a water droplet, quietly shattered and turned into a pond.
Jiang Yan sensed it briefly and found that the total amount of mana had only increased by about 3 times, but the upper limit had increased by a hundred times.
With a thought, the personal panel appeared before my eyes:
Jiang Yan
Identity: Lord/Undead Emperor.
Rank: Bronze Tier 1.
Familia: Angels.
Equipment: Cataclysm (Artifact-grade).
Lord Skills: War Frenzy Level 1, War Call.
Professional skills: Death Finger, others omitted (see Chapter 25).
Overall rating:
Jiang Yan was slightly excited. Thanks to the divine staff and the unique first-class profession, he was finally considered a minor powerhouse.
In his previous life, he was only at the Diamond Rank 10 to have this combat power.
"War Frenzy" and "Death Finger" are the skills gained in this advancement.
The former can temporarily boost the strength and speed of friendly units, while the latter can consume mana to unleash powerful undead single-target attack spells.
This can be seen as making up for the current weakness of insufficient attack methods.
At the same time, a notification sound rang in my ears:
[When a lord reaches the Bronze rank, the rank leaderboard will officially open. This leaderboard will be settled monthly, and players will receive corresponding reputation points and title rewards.]
Jiang Yan opened the "All Realms" function interface and saw that a new rank ranking list had appeared next to the original functions, containing only one lonely name:
First place: Jiang Yan, Bronze Tier 1 (maintaining 100 reputation points).
You will receive the temporary title: Chosen One.
Note: As the first among the chosen ones, your performance has earned the favor of the "All Realms," temporarily granting you a status recognized by all forces in this world (effective only when worn).
Huh?
Jiang Yan was taken aback. He had never seen this title before. After all, in his previous life, he was ranked over 8,000th, which was not enough to make the list.
Yes, he suddenly remembered something.
In my previous life, during a joint operation, I traveled with several powerful lords to Fire City, the capital of the powerful Fire Empire.
I remember what the guards said when I entered the city gate.
"Honorable chosen messenger, welcome to Fire City, please come in."
But when it was his turn, his attitude was very cold:
"Pay 100 Soul Crystals as an entry fee first, then queue up."
At the time, Jiang Yan thought it was because the other party had a past relationship with the Fire Flame Empire, but now he thinks it was probably just the effect of titles and reputation.
This is different from Annalia's self-proclaimed title of "Master of the Gods," which is only recognized within her sphere of influence. The Chosen One, however, is recognized by all powers.
So, now I have a status too?
If I go back to the beginner dungeon now, am I eligible to buy on credit?
Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle, ceasing to think about these strange things. He opened the trading panel, put 70,000 Soul Crystals up for sale, and exchanged them for Pure Faith Power at a 1:30 ratio.
This kind of highly profitable business will become difficult to conduct after the second Abyss Riot.
Because by then the weak lords will have been eliminated, and the strong ones will have stable sources of income, so they should take advantage of this time to make a fortune.
[Losed 20 Soul Crystals, gained 600 Pure Faith Power]
[Losed 10 Soul Crystals, gained 300 Pure Faith Power]
Looking at the frequent transaction notifications, Jiang Yan estimated that the 70,000 soul crystals would be traded within half an hour at most, at which time he could summon more than 400 angels.
The only downside is that we haven't received a single drawing; apparently, they're not stupid.
"Your Majesty..."
At that moment, a giant eagle flew over the city wall and called out to him from afar before landing in front of him.
"Are you Hina's subordinate?" Jiang Yan asked, sensing the familiar power fluctuations emanating from the other party.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lady Sheena instructed me to deliver these tokens to you," the giant eagle said, placing down the three tokens and bowing its head.
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Yan took the token, pondered for a moment, and took out a porcelain bottle from his storage space: "Take this to Xina. It's the latest food developed by the Spirit Food Master. It can temporarily increase agility slightly. The key is that it's sweet and tastes good."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and report back."
"Go." Jiang Yan watched the giant eagle depart, casually pocketed the token, and headed towards the advanced graveyard. He planned to summon today's skeletons and then lead his army to the wasteland to launch an attack together with Xina. Unfortunately, he still didn't have any higher-level building blueprints...
etc!
Jiang Yan suddenly stopped, and the two bronze tokens reappeared in his hands.
Yes, this thing is a rare item nowadays; it only drops from monsters of Silver rank or higher.
Other lords don't start with several followers comparable to demigods like I do. They'd have a hard time even dealing with bronze-level enemies, let alone silver-level ones.
Thinking about it, Jiang Yan reopened the Interdimensional Trading Platform, preparing to list the two extra Bronze Advancement Tokens, only to find that many people were tagging him in the chat channel.
[Holy crap! It's only been seven days and Boss Jiang has already advanced to Bronze rank?!]
[I still have to kite level 30 elites, while the pros have already taken down silver-level bosses?]
[Hey bro, looking to buy a Bronze Advancement Token, price negotiable @JiangYan]
[Same request! Hey bro, the slime in my castle can do the splits! Want to come watch with me? @JiangYan]
Jiang Yan, have you blocked me?!
[...]
Some were looking to buy, some were just there for the fun of it, and there was also a troublemaker mixed in. Jiang Yan thought for a moment, then listed the token on the buying platform, priced at one epic-level blueprint, and forwarded the link to the chat channel, immediately causing another uproar.
Holy crap, Jiang is as ruthless as ever!
[It's definitely the same old style. Check out the exchange platforms; this is the black market dealer offering Faith Power at a 1:30 exchange rate!]
That's right, I suggest everyone boycott this kind of person!
[Wait, what happened to our boycott? How come my Soul Crystal exchange quota is almost gone??]
Jiang Yan glanced at it briefly and then stopped paying attention.
Currently, he is the only one who can obtain the advancement token. After all, those silver-level bosses are basically leaders of various local tribes, with a large number of elite warriors under their command. To defeat them, one would need at least diamond-level strength.
Let the bullets fly for a while.
......
At this moment, in the dark forest.
"Master, I'm back." The giant eagle landed.
"Did the goods arrive?" Sheena asked casually, a longbow already in her hand.
The giant eagle shuddered and rattled off in rapid succession: "Yes, Master, the Emperor is very pleased. He said that you are truly worthy of being his most trusted subordinate, much better than those birdmen! He also said that you have worked hard and asked me to bring you some carefully developed spiritual food to relieve your boredom."
As he spoke, the giant eagle carefully took out the still-warm porcelain bottle that it had kept hidden in its wings.
"Oh? Does Your Majesty really say that?" Sheena said with a half-smile.
"Yes, the Emperor said that he specially ordered people to make this spiritual food sweet, hoping that it would keep you in a good mood."
"Hmm..." Sheena took out a piece and put it in her mouth, a slight smile playing on her lips: "It is indeed quite sweet."
She looked at the giant eagle that was trembling, its wings tucked in, and its head bowed, and quietly put away her longbow.
Hmm... it's only a Silver-rank, not much of a burden on the soul, so let's keep it. After all, as a commander, I occasionally need to hear different opinions.
The giant eagle suddenly felt a sense of relief, breathed a long sigh of relief, and lowered its head even further.
Not far away, a golden-furred mouse stared intently at the giant eagle: Oh no, we've met our match.
