Today, together with Ning Xi, they farmed over a hundred BOSSes.
Although farming reputation for Ning Xi was the main goal.
Lin Mo also gained quite a lot from it.
Even though they were all relatively low-level BOSSes, the abundant experience rewarded by a hundred BOSSes was still enough for Lin Mo to jump two levels in a row, raising his level from 41 to 43.
And even without Ning Xi's hundred-times bonus, under normal gains, Lin Mo still obtained a full 4,000 reputation.
Adding the 3,000-plus reputation he already had before, even Lin Mo himself hadn't noticed until now that his reputation had already reached 7,520 points.
"It's time to upgrade the talent."
"I hope the fourth incineration effect can boost my strength in a short time and help me take down tonight's Tier-4 BOSS in one go."
So Lin Mo eagerly opened the talent panel.
He chose Advance Talent.
[Ding~ Consuming 5,000 reputation. Congratulations! Your SSS-level talent Soul Flame has upgraded to the fourth stage!]
Following Equipment Incineration, Skill Incineration, and Pet Incineration, the brand new fourth incineration effect was finally unlocked.
At this moment, Lin Mo's excitement was no less than when he had just carried Ning Xi onto the bed earlier.
He opened the talent and checked the fourth talent effect—
[Title Incineration: By incinerating titles, obtain corresponding Title Evolution Points, which can be used to evolve the quality of titles.]
'It's here!'
'It's here!'
'Title Incineration is really here!'
Lin Mo was overjoyed. Because unlocking this Title Incineration also meant…
"I can incinerate low-tier trash titles to obtain evolution points, and evolve the golden titles I need."
Lin Mo owned quite a few titles.
Although attributes from different types of titles could stack infinitely.
Many of these titles were duplicates
Just like the white-quality and purple-quality titles Hidden Player.
The white-quality and purple-quality titles Leveling Maniac.
And the three titles of the same type but different qualities he obtained today after killing one hundred BOSSes: Slayer, in white, green, and blue quality. Among these duplicate titles, only the highest-quality one actually took effect.
The lower-quality ones were directly invalidated.
But now, Lin Mo could turn waste into treasure.
And just as he expected, this new talent effect could bring a huge boost to his strength right now.
Without another word, Lin Mo immediately activated the newly unlocked talent effect.
[Ding~ Incinerating white title Hidden Player. Title Evolution Points +1!]
[Ding~ Incinerating white title Leveling Maniac. Title Evolution Points +1!]
[Ding~ Incinerating green title · King of Hunting. Title Evolution Points +2!]
After incinerating all the duplicate or mostly useless low-tier titles, Lin Mo discovered that he only gained 16 Title Evolution Points.
"Only golden titles can bring some qualitative leap to my strength."
"But even evolving from a purple title to golden quality requires 56 evolution points. With just this many, it's far too little."
Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
With a ruthless decision, he incinerated the purple-quality titles Hidden Player, Leveling Maniac, and Super God Player as well.
This was because when he evolved the Ancestral-tier pet, triggering the global announcement, Lin Mo obtained the golden title Supreme Lord.
At that time, he deeply experienced how heaven-defying golden titles were.
It was no exaggeration to say that even more than ten purple titles combined were not as powerful as a single golden title.
To gain something, you must give something up.
Lin Mo had to obtain a second golden title to have greater confidence in taking down tonight's Tier-4 BOSS.
A single purple title could be incinerated for 8 evolution points.
Lin Mo incinerated 5 purple titles, gaining 40 evolution points.
That brought the total to exactly 56 evolution points.
Next, Lin Mo made a choice between the only two remaining purple titles: Golden Gear War God and Tactical Master.
"The effect of Tactical Master is increasing skill power by 10%. Right now my entire skill list is already SSS-level, so my skill strength is already more than enough."
"I'll evolve Golden Gear War God instead. Increasing attack power is the real way to boost damage output. That way I'll also have a better chance of killing that Tier-4 BOSS later."
Thinking this, Lin Mo proceeded to evolve Golden Gear War God.
[Ding~ Consuming 8 Title Evolution Points. Congratulations! The title Golden Gear War God has evolved from purple quality to orange quality.]
[Ding~ Consuming 16 Title Evolution Points. Congratulations! The title Golden Gear War God has evolved from orange quality to red quality!]
[Ding~ Consuming 32 Title Evolution Points. Congratulations! The title Golden Gear War God has evolved from red quality to golden quality (highest tier)!]
The second golden title was born.
Filled with excitement, Lin Mo opened the title attributes. The original purple-quality Golden Gear War God only provided a 10% attack increase.
But now that its quality had risen to the highest golden tier, both the name and attributes underwent a qualitative transformation.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Divine Gear Wielder] (Golden Title):
— Title Attribute 1: Attack Power +30%
— Title Attribute 2: Equipment Base Attributes +20%
— Title Attribute 3: Equipment Additional Attributes +20%
— Description: A symbol of honor for the first player in Yunbian Town, Novice Village No.116 of the Dragon Nation server in Divine Oracle, to obtain a golden-quality divine equipment.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
'30% attack power?'
Combined with the human race's 10% attack bonus, Lin Mo now possessed a full 40% additional attack bonus.
And the 20% equipment attribute boost.
If it were applied to ordinary equipment, the effect might not be very obvious.
But applied to Lin Mo's Level 35 Tier-3 golden-quality Venom Set, the boost it brought to Lin Mo was enormous.
Lin Mo opened his status panel and saw that his attributes had been comprehensively enhanced.
Attack Power surged from 4,210 points to 5,420 points.
Defense reached 2,800+
HP exceeded 23,000.
Just this single golden title boosted Lin Mo's overall strength by around 30%.
"Golden titles are ridiculously strong."
Even while marveling, Lin Mo's desire for titles became even stronger.
Because he had to obtain more titles to incinerate, gain evolution points, and evolve a third, fourth, and fifth top-tier golden title.
Sure enough, whether it was Ning Xi's Nine-Five Supreme or Lin Mo's Soul Flame, every advancement of an SSS-level talent never disappointed.
Lin Mo checked again and discovered that advancing Soul Flame from the fourth stage to the fifth stage required a full 30,000 reputation.
Looking at the little over 2,000 reputation he had left, Lin Mo said confidently, "Looks like I need to work even harder."
Most of the BOSS first kills around the level-three main city had already been taken.
Only by heading to the level-two main cities and hunting higher-level BOSSes could he obtain reputation faster.
As for now—
"With my current strength, dealing with that Tier-4 BOSS shouldn't be a problem."
Soon, they arrived at the Ghost Graveyard.
At the same time, the Divine Nation guild players lurking in the darkness outside the Ghost Graveyard also saw Lin Mo approaching.
"Rulebound is here!"
"Brothers, follow Rulebound!"
Just as the Divine Nation players were about to move, Divine Nation · Judge suddenly stopped them.
"Don't move! Let's observe first!"
The surrounding players were puzzled.
"But didn't President Ling say we should cooperate with Rulebound to destroy Blood Dance and kill the BOSS?"
Divine Nation Judge said firmly, "The Blood Dance guild is guarding the BOSS without moving, and Rulebound has been buying BOSSes everywhere today. They must have sold this BOSS to him and are just waiting for him to arrive."
"We'll first examine Rulebound's loyalty and ability. That's also President Ling's intention."
As he spoke, Divine Nation Judge deliberately sent Lin Mo a private message, ["We're still on the way. If you've arrived, brother, start first. We'll be there soon. Make sure to take down this BOSS and eliminate the Blood Dance guild members. This is President Ling's direct order."]
After sending the message, he raised his head and watched Lin Mo and Ning Xi enter the Ghost Graveyard map.
Divine Nation Judge sneered, 'Rulebound, if you really made a deal with Blood Dance and bought the BOSS from them, then I'll report you to President Ling for secretly colluding with the enemy.'
'If there was no deal, then you're alone and helpless, and you didn't even bring your NPC army. I'd like to see how just the two of you will deal with several hundred Blood Dance elites. How will you kill the BOSS? Once you're killed, I'll contact Dragon Soul to wipe out Blood Dance and take the BOSS.'
'The first scenario proves you're disloyal to the guild. The second proves you're incompetent at handling matters. Either one will make President Ling extremely disappointed in you. At best you'll be demoted, at worst expelled from the guild.'
'And I, on the other hand, can either report you or salvage the situation in time, letting President Ling see me in a new light, reuse me, and give me a promotion and raise.'
Thinking this, Divine Nation Judge couldn't help letting out a cold laugh.
'Rulebound, I'd like to see how you're going to break out of this death trap.'
