Chapter 13: Achievement that Shocked the Night Battle World
Editor: Henyee Translations
"What kind of rubbish are you spewing?! I will kill you right now!"
Unable to restrain her anger, Ling bellowed at Fang Ran. Then the human and power bank got into a dirty scuffle again!
With the advantage of having two hands, Fang Ran resisted with all his might. However, Ling was simply too adept at controlling the power bank. She continued to land solid hits on Fang Ran's face and even diverted his fists to hit his own face!
"You retard! Do you know how long your magic can be sustained with just one point of magic?!"
Fang Ran, whose cheeks were being squashed, stubbornly persisted and mumbled indiscernibly, "Lech me telch you, evench then I will neber…"
Still trembling from anger, Ling eventually let him go while swearing in her heart, 'You fool!'
"What is the bonus?"
Suppressing her raging fury, Ling asked with trembling fists. No matter how retarded this guy was, she still had to rely on him to free herself, so she would have to make do with what little she had. Seriously…
Ling was full of regret.
"Bonus? Let me see…"
Fang Ran rolled over and got up from the floor. He then leaned over to look at the interface.
[Ding! Since you are the first participant to assign a max value to the appearance stat, the achievement [Skill Tryout-9] has been achieved.]
[Ding! The wand has been updated.]
[Ding! The stat has been reset.]
[Ding! The bonus has been decided.]
The next moment, Fang Ran found an introduction to the bonus at the end of the notifications- an unusually simple line of text.
[You can double one of your attribute stat]
"It said that I can double one of my attribute stats, and that I completed an achievement." Fang Ran casually rattled off before heaving a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the bonuses was still relatively normal with no random sh*t. To be honest, the previous two draws had truly scared Fang Ran.
"What!? What did you say?!"
Ling was stunned for a moment before slamming directly into Fang Ran's side profile!
"Pfft!"
"Grant me access! Let me take a look!"
"You… stop itch firsh…"
The power bank hurriedly backed away from Fang Ran's cheek. It then gained access and saw Fang Ran's current interface.
Ling turned silent.
"How is it? Say something, is this bonus of mine ok? Then again, I even completed an achievement. It seems like it is easy for a novice to attain achievements. Hey, do you think all the big shots have attained all the achievements already?"
At this moment, Fang Ran was just chattering mindlessly at the side. Ling glanced at him and recalled the information that she had once found in the Darknet's data.
Night Battle Achievement System.
Participants in the Night Battle could attain achievements after fulfilling certain conditions.
People who attain achievements would acquire some sort of astonishing ability.
And the last person who had attained an achievement in the Darknet records…
Was two hundred and seventy-two years ago.
In today's time, ninety-nine percent of the Night Battle participants didn't even know there was such a thing as achievements.
After seeing a certain retard thinking that he had attained some novice achievement, Ling, who was initially indifferent about it, suddenly had some complex feelings. It was not that no one had tried to look for clues. Those big shots at the top definitely had once tried to attain achievements.
Yet, who would have ever thought that the achievement that was most attainable by everyone, would actually be like this?!
However, Ling understood that this was not the fault of anyone's carelessness or lack of adventurous spirit. It was simply that after going through a life-or-death crisis to gain the rights to be a Night Battle participant, everyone knew that even one stat point could strengthen them by leaps and bounds. Hence, nobody would choose to increase something as useless as the appearance stat. Even if they wanted to try it later on, the appearance stat option would never be given to them again.
No one would have thought of it.
What made Ling even more shocked was the bonus that Fang Ran had obtained, which gave Ling the perception that attaining an achievement would give some amazing ability.
[You can double one of your attribute stat]
Just a simple sentence, but Ling found it difficult to keep calm. The stat of her Nether Photon Core at that time was close to perfect in value. The bonus she got was to maximise all her technological skills. This astounding ability to maximise her powers within a short period of time, allowed Ling to do many things that were otherwise impossible.
However, after seeing Fang Ran's bonus, Ling realized that her ability was probably not up to par.
No matter how strong her power was, it would remain stagnant since it was just an enhancement to her performance ability within that period of time.
However, an ability like Fang Ran's that could directly interfere with the base value and with no time limit…
She had never heard of it within the entire Darknet!
"How can this be…"
A data soul, Ling mumbled in shock.
She lightly bit on her lip, knowing that a giant earthquake was about to happen in the Night Battle world, because…
Just then, an announcement resounded in the ears of every Night Battle participant in the world at the same time!
"Ding! Night Battle [Skill Tryout-9] achievement attained, congratulations!"
"You are one step closer in becoming stronger."
The world of Night Battle shook!!!
…
…
At this moment, Fang Ran, who had caused the whole Night Battle world to be upturned, was still completely in the dark as he looked curiously at his power bank, wondering why it had suddenly stopped talking. He was worried that it might be broken and that he would have to buy a new one.
"Hey hey! Xiaomi? Mi? Hey hey! F*ck, could it be out of battery?"
Fang Ran seemed sure by his guess. So, immediately after, he swiftly found a charging cable, intending to charge it.
"Get lost! If you dare to insert that thing into me, I'll f*cking fight you to the death!!!"
Just as Fang Ran was about to charge the power bank, Ling finally snapped out of it and immediately stopped Fang Ran's deviant behaviour!
"Uh, don't you need to be charged?" Fang Ran asked in embarrassment.
Ling suddenly became exasperated. Gnashing her teeth, she glared at Fang Ran ferociously, this was despite the fact that Fang Ran could only see the 'Mi' logo on the casing of the Xiaomi power bank.
"By the way, you haven't told me, is this bonus of mine good?" Fang Ran quickly changed the subject and asked the question that he was deeply concerned about.
Ling went quiet for a while. Then the corners of her lips curled up. She flashed a wicked smile at him like a little devil as she said,
"So-so. It's not considered strong, but neither is it rubbish. You should experience it yourself."
"Yep yep, that's true. Doubling an attribute stat doesn't sound all that impressive. It's too ordinary." Stroking his chin, Fang Ran nodded thoughtfully. Ling immediately felt like she had been stabbed in the heart. Dismissing the description for being ordinary? How about I trade mine for yours!
"What about the achievement?" Fang Ran asked persistently, like an online game newbie consulting a guru.
"It's just an achievement, not of much use. You can ignore it."
Nonchalantly, Ling fed him a reply. However, after saying that, her heart still ached. Yet, seeing how Fang Ran looked completely clueless, Ling really didn't want to tell him about his achievement he randomly and blindly stumbled upon.
Nestled in a corner in the data space, Ling, who had suddenly gotten caught up in a hopeless situation due to her stupidity and arrogance, facepalmed herself in exasperation.
"Achievement… Achievement… The last of the skill tryout achievement actually turned out to have such a nonsensical criteria… Furthermore, it had to end up with someone like that…"
"Oh, that's right!"
As if he had delightfully recalled something pleasant, Fang Ran pointed to a certain line and said,
"Hey! It prompted me that my wand has been updated and its attributes seem to have been resetted too!"
"What?"
Hearing Fang Ran's dumb voice, Ling, who was already cursing Fang Ran's dumb luck and the fact that she wouldn't be able to tell anyone, simply grunted dispiritedly. After which, she casually pulled out the personal weapons interface. But at that moment,…
Fang Ran's belt suddenly flickered with a light blue system glow. The blue light flashed, and the belt, which once looked like a poor-quality 25-Yuan belt, began to transform.
The metal part of the belt buckle flashed brilliantly and elongated into an elegant and delicate beautiful silver dragon that wrapped around the hilt of the sword, like an exquisite work of art that surpassed nature. The part of the belt that was originally leather, had completely disappeared!
Click, click, click!
A concentrated sound of metal meshing together resounded. Like a dragon's spine, the sharp and smooth joints began to form and mesh together in a complex and precise manner, forming the slender and elongated sword blade. Eventually, the "belt" which had thoroughly completed its transformation, appeared in front of Fang Ran.
Like a sword yet unlike a sword, when the silver-white steel appeared in the world once again,…
It was like a marvellous work of art.
Subsequently, the interface flickered. On it, drastic changes had occured, right before the eyes of the man and the power bank.
[Fang Ran's personal magic wand - Silver Split Dragontooth]
[Attack stat: 20]
[Magic stat: 19]
[Defense stat: 15]
[Speed stat: 17]
[Appearance stat: Maximised]
The man and the power bank were speechless.
After a long time, only Fang Ran burst out swearing!
"What the f*ck!!!"
