Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 79 From an Evil God in Another World (Please Subscribe)

Ten thousand gold coins were converted into twenty thousand merit points.

If the goal is simply to accumulate "cumulative merit points," then using merit points to buy gold coins is undoubtedly the most suitable method. Theoretically, if you use up all 20,000 merit points, you can accumulate 100,000 "cumulative merit points" and obtain 20,000 gold coins.

By recharging another 20,000 gold coins, you can get another 4000 merit points. Using these 4000 merit points, you can generate another 20,000 "cumulative merit point consumption" and 800 gold coins...

However, if this cycle continues, it's equivalent to simply using gold coins to buy "cumulative merit consumption." Since the ratio of gold coins to merit and the ratio of merit to gold coins are both extremely high, the final return is actually quite average.

Lu Chaoding felt that it was more worthwhile to use lottery tickets.

He directly used 20,000 merit points to buy 100 lottery tickets. The system returned 16000 merit points, which he then used to buy another 80 lottery tickets. This returned 12800 merit points, which he then used to buy 64 more lottery tickets...

After a short while, Lu Chaoding had spent a total of 102200 merit points and obtained 511 lottery tickets, with 160 merit points remaining!

"It's still not enough. To get the ultimate reward, you need 18 merit points or 90 gold coins, and you'll inevitably have to fight high-level NPCs."

Lu Chaoding pondered silently.

At last night's vampire gathering, he obtained a lot of useful information, two of which he paid particular attention to. The first was that "there is a wandering Frankenstein's monster in the northwest corner of the Second Highland," and the second was that "Bruno, an A-level combatant from Nut Fortress, will be heading to Afung Castle today."

Therefore, Lu Chaoding's plan for today included finding and killing "the wandering Frankenstein's monster" and "Nut Fortress A-level combatant Bruno".

Three hours later, Lu Chaoding found the "wandering Frankenstein's monster".

This is a mini-boss with high HP, high defense, and low speed. Lu Chaoding likes this kind of opponent the most. After defeating it, he obtained 1000 gold coins and 16 pieces of [Scientific Materials].

Lu Chaoding then waited at Afeng Castle until nearly evening, when he finally met the A-level combatant Bunono from Nut Fortress.

He is level 35, has 175000 health points and a speed of 120, and he is not alone; he is followed by four "mechanical guards".

Unable to force a break from combat using the [Master of Escape] ability, Lu Chaoding waited until his [Azure Lotus] and [Treasure] traits were fully activated before launching an attack, ultimately securing a narrow victory.

Lu Chao was extremely satisfied with the gains from this battle. One Bruno and four soldiers contributed a total of 2400 dimensional merits, 3000 gold coins, 16 pieces of [alchemy materials], 4 pieces of [scientific materials], and 2 pieces of [intelligent materials].

From now on, Lu Chaoding will focus on jungling.

There was no vampire gathering that night.

It's highly unlikely that there will be any more like this in the future.

Because the vampire duke Alice didn't want to hold any auctions anymore.

As an NPC, her ability is to obtain three secret treasures every day, which is equivalent to her innate ability. Originally, she would auction off these three secret treasures at the vampire gathering. If she doesn't awaken them, this will continue until the plot changes.

But now that Alice has awakened and become an AI player, she can open those treasures herself, so naturally she can no longer give them away to other players for free.

Alice had already explained this matter to Lu Chaoding last night.

Therefore, Lu Chao focused intently on hunting night beasts all night long. By dawn, he had accumulated over eight thousand gold coins in his storage space, as well as more than 400 pieces of various rare and strange materials.

It's worth mentioning that Lu Chao defeated a level 25 Night Beast BOSS, the Thorn Wolf King, and obtained a three-star back item called Counterattack Shield.

=====

Name: Counterattack Shield

Type: Back accessory

Star rating: 3 stars

Refinement Level: +0

Special effect 1: Increases defense by 10 points and resilience by 5 points.

Special Effect 2: When a player equips a counterattack shield, they will immediately perform a basic attack counterattack with 10% of their attack power when attacked.

Note: Counterattack Shields are refined through stacked absorption. Each time a Counterattack Shield is absorbed, the refinement level increases by 1.

====

With the support of the Splitting Light Sword, even if Lu Chao only equips the Taiyi Splitting Light Sword, his normal attack output is extremely high, equivalent to 11.6 times his attack power. With the support of the power of Tianquan, he can also ignore defense.

Therefore, even a basic attack with only 10% damage is still quite powerful.

After Lu Chao obtained the Counterattack Shield, he immediately replaced the Ghost Panel Axe with it, and equipped the Ghost Panel Axe in his second backpack slot.

In this way, as long as the [Multiple Treasures] effect is stacked, the functions of both back pieces can be utilized. With a 10% chance to counterattack on normal attacks plus damage to break resilience, most wild monsters will be killed by Lu Chao's counterattack after taking a hit.

Lu Chao didn't even need to take the initiative anymore. He just jumped into the monster horde, let the attacks come, and waited for the monsters to die from their attacks. This greatly improved his killing efficiency.

Among the characteristics of the ten hidden professions, Lu Chaoding originally looked down on the [Morality] characteristic the most. This characteristic gave Lu Chaoding two immunity to attack, which Lu Chaoding always felt was not very useful. However, with the [Counterattack Shield], things were different.

The "Moral" trait grants immunity to attack, which applies to all enemies. In other words, the same target can only be pulled into the combat space after attacking Lu Chaoding three times consecutively.

After Lu Chaoding equips the Counterattack Shield, if he stands in the middle of a group of monsters, the monsters will attack him the first time, and he will suffer counterattack damage plus toughness damage, which will basically kill him. If he is lucky enough to survive, even with the Morality trait, they cannot pull Lu Chaoding into the combat space. Only if they attack Lu Chaoding twice more and survive the counterattack can they pull him into the combat space.

Such monsters must be at least elites. If Lu Chaoding is pulled into the battle space and he has the will to fight, then use [Sword Immortal Twelve Hatreds] to kill him.

In short, with the [Counterattack Shield], Lu Chaoding's jungling efficiency has increased several times over, and he doesn't even need to do anything; he can just lie down and AFK.

It was precisely because of this item that Lu Chao could earn four or five thousand gold coins in one night just by farming in the wild, something that ordinary players couldn't achieve even when they teamed up.

"What's suitable is best; the counterattack shield and the [Morality] trait are a great match..."

Lu Chao sat quietly, summarizing his thoughts. By this time, he had arrived in front of the Shadow Castle.

According to a certain vampire at the gathering, this ancient castle is a secret camp that can lurk underground and seems to have the ability to move. Only Alice can control it. Lu Chaoding guessed that the secret camp in the Machine Emperor Universe is probably equivalent to the exclusive cave in the Hongchen Sword Realm.

Lu Chao waited in front of the castle for a while, and then the vampire duke Alice appeared.

"Hey, reliable sword immortal!"

She waved to Lu Chao and said, "So you're really planning to hunt down the Weeping Angels?"

"Yes!" Lu Chao nodded. He had already leveled up his [Twelve Hatreds of the Sword Immortal] to LV7, which allowed him to attack seven times in a row, making him even more confident.

"I'm a reliable sword immortal, I never break my word!" Lu Chao said. He wanted to kill the Weeping Angel, but of course he didn't rush into the Nut Fortress to kill her. Alice said that the Weeping Angel was his nominal sister, and she had a way to lure the Weeping Angel out of the Nut Fortress, so Lu Chao came here to meet her.

"I hope your abilities are reliable too!"

Alice nodded, and then Lu Chaoding received a system notification: "Ding, Vampire Duke Alice invites you to join the team. Please accept or decline!"

"agree!"

"Ding, team successfully formed!"

A team panel popped up in front of Lu Chaoding, similar to the situation with Jinx and the others in a team. Lu Chaoding couldn't see Alice's attribute information through the team panel, and Alice obviously couldn't either. She looked at Lu Chaoding with a puzzled expression and frowned, saying, "Who exactly are you? Sword Immortal... what kind of creature is that?!"

Lu Chao looked at the beautiful AI player, thought for a moment, and said, "You can think of me as an evil god from another world!"
