Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 681 The competition for the Crystal of Light Jinchūriki is fierce.

If the attribute material drop coefficients for the Redemption Sect and the Sacrifice Sect are both 1, then the Balance Sect will drop the original 0.6 from both sides, and the total will increase to 1.2.

According to this standard, Cheng Tian's total coefficient is actually 2, which means that he receives the full amount of the sacrificial harvest from both sides.

For players who have specific needs for attribute materials, the Balance Cult is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. The "weakest link" effect can sometimes be quite detrimental.

However, if a player has a need for all attributes and all materials, then the overall drop income from the Balance Cult is obviously higher than choosing Redemption or Sacrifice alone.

This is a very simple math problem. After doing some calculations and considering your own needs, making a decision is not difficult.

For example, the armored warrior who changed his ID to "Burning Blood" early on almost without hesitation chose to use the reselection privilege and selected the new Equilibrium faction.

The armored warrior, whose right arm had been eroded by demonic forces and whose primary means of sacrifice was self-sacrifice, now had his left arm beginning to glow faintly.

However, the armored warrior was still quite cautious about whether to accept the subsequent initiation trials and ultimately join the "Blazing Sun Legion". At the same time, this hint made him even more certain that Cheng Tian was the most popular and talked-about player independent faction recently, the Blazing Sun Legion, and an internal high-level member.

The armored warrior's decisive joining directly fulfilled the necessary conditions for Cheng Tian's special side quest.

Your special side quest, "Please Call Me Master," has been completed.

You have successfully recruited a new member to the Balance faction.

You have gained one permission to summon a "Portable Fortress" to the current instance.

Even at this stage, the herd mentality is still a fundamental human trait. After the armored warriors set an example, two people immediately chose to follow suit and switched from their original sects to the Equilibrium Sect.

However, the change to the total coefficient of 1.2 is indeed quite subtle. Some players may need Agility and Charisma, or Strength and Spirit, but not all players will make such a choice.

Cheng Tian didn't care about this, because he had already obtained the access to his personal fortress. This meant that even in this world with many restrictions, he could forcibly summon the Martian mothership to descend upon the new continent.

The appearance of such a vehicle, capable of traveling between planets and even undertaking long-duration space travel, in a world currently dominated by wooden boats, hot air balloons, and airships, is perhaps a form of disruptive innovation.

Even if the small flying saucer and the annihilation laser cannon cannot be used due to the influence of the entry, it does not affect the special status of this thing.

However, Cheng Tian did not intend to use it immediately, but was preparing to find a suitable opportunity, such as... when the Lava Mountain Dragon reappeared, or when a powerful being from another world broke through the void and arrived.

The mission to subdue the Deer-Headed Demon is now completely over, but the matter is not yet finished, as an even more troublesome problem remains.

It wasn't those four unlucky souls marked with the sacrificial offering. After Cheng Tian used a state-blocking technique to shield the marks, killed the deer-headed spirit, and completed the final double sacrifice of redemption and self-sacrifice, the marks on these four people disappeared as well, and they were no longer in danger of being used as living sacrifices.

The root of the problem was actually the Crystal Bird, still lingering on the edge of the current area, far from humans, looking like it wanted to escape but was somewhat reluctant to leave. The taste of the delicious dragon egg liquid was still lingering on its tongue.

More accurately, it's the etheric crystal it's holding! This otherworldly thing is a time bomb that's already been triggered and is impossible to defused.

The best solution Cheng Tian could think of was to avoid human harassment as much as possible.

Let this dangerous item stay quietly in Sao Niao's hands as a shield and hammer. Even if it inevitably attracts powerful beings from another world, it will give hunters, mages, and players more time to prepare, thus increasing their chances of future confrontations.

However, Cheng Tian hesitated because he was unsure whether to issue this response through the two sect leaders in the form of a guild order.

Whether you're a player or a hunter, there's never a shortage of "stubborn ones." The more you emphasize what you can't do, the more people will want to touch it.

Perhaps letting Crystal Bird go unspokenly and keeping the information confidential within a small circle for now is a better decision than issuing a guild order?
Cheng Tian was a little unsure, so he simply called Merlin and the Grand Master over and told them what he knew about the Crystal of Aether Light.

The two, who had just felt relieved and whose expressions had softened somewhat after successfully defeating the stag spirit and rescuing their hunter companion, immediately tensed up again.

Although they only had less than a day to interact with Cheng Tian, ​​based on their face-to-face contact with him, their personality profile, their behavioral habits, and their legendary reputation of 5 points, the information was highly credible.

In addition, there were signs of spatial instability in advance.

The presence of the stag-headed demon, Geralt of Rivia, and the old fruit vendor indirectly demonstrates the instability of space, allowing beings from other worlds to be transported to the new continent.

Geralt, in particular, fell right out of the Star Outpost Commander-in-Chief's sight from a suddenly appearing portal.

Fortunately, the location wasn't too high, otherwise Geralt would probably have experienced being carried away in a cat cart the very first second after arriving in the Monster Hunter world...

However, just as Cheng Tian suggested letting the Crystal Bird go and hiding its information, the Grand Master suddenly spoke up.

"Currently, it's the bird that's holding the crystal to keep it stable. If I were to take it, could I also maintain the crystal's stability?"

The Grand Master's speech startled Cheng Tian and Merlin. They then unconsciously pinched their chins. Finally, Cheng Tian's lips trembled, and he spoke again with great uncertainty.

"...Perhaps...it might work?"

Originally, the game was supposed to only allow the Sassy Bird to obtain the Light Crystal's enhancement through touching it, but Cheng Tian has personally confirmed that as a player, he will also receive the enhancement by touching it.

In other words, it's not only the Sassin's Creed that can stabilize its effect as a spatial coordinate; it can also be used by the Grand Commander!

Upon hearing Cheng Tian's answer, the humanoid golden lion immediately rolled up its sleeves and showed its arms, clearly ready to replace the sassy bird and become the new human jinchūriki of the Crystal of Etherlight.
