Chapter 2: SSS-Class Hero. Shadow Princess
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"What?!
"F*ck, it can't be! SSS-class hero?"
Li Cheng's face was filled with disbelief, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
In Tribe, apart from having soldiers and troops, there were also heroes. Moreover, heroes were extremely important.
Apart from their combat strength being extremely strong, they could also wear equipment and learn all sorts of skills.
During a battle, if your hero was powerful enough, he could even influence the course of the battle.
From this, one could see how important a hero was.
As for the SSS-class hero...
It was considered a legendary existence.
Up until Li Cheng's death in his previous life, he had never appeared!
Li Cheng could not help but click his tongue. "This 10,000-times amplification system's too awesome. Maybe this is the only SSS-class hero in the game!"
Just as Li Cheng was about to summon the SSS-class hero, countless messages suddenly came from Tribe's system's chat box.
[The server has opened! The server has opened! Finally, the server has opened! Grandpa's here!]
[Wow, my God. Is this close to 100% realism? This is too realistic!]
[I've waited so long for so many years, and finally, the server has opened. It's not a waste of my Long Aotian's hard work! Children, get ready to tremble!]
[Hey, hey, did you guys draw the grand prize? I drew a level 2 soldier. I don't know if it's good or not.]
[Upstairs, are we in Versailles? I don't know if it's good or not?]
[Hehe, is there anyone who wants to play on voice chat with me? I'm a B-grade talent!]
[Come, come, come, I'm a B-grade talent, too. Let's exchange game experience!]
Hearing all kinds of noises coming from his ears, Li Cheng was speechless.
"Looks like the system has opened and the players have flooded into the game."
Shaking his head, Li Cheng set all messages to 'Receive without notifications' mode.
After setting it, he chose to immediately summon a hero.
He took out the system reward summoning token from his backpack.
Li Cheng swallowed his saliva and was a little nervous.
"I don't know what this SSS-class hero's like, but it should be very powerful."
With this thought in mind, he crushed the summoning token in his hand that was glowing in gold.
Boom!
A huge golden pillar of light descended from the sky and enveloped Li Cheng's territory.
Following closely behind was a system notification.
[Congratulations on successfully using the SSS-Class Hero Recruitment token to successfully recruit an SSS-class hero—Shadow Princess Lillian!]
"Ding, dong, world announcement. Player Netherworld has successfully summoned an SSS-class hero. As the first Lord to summon a hero in the game, the reward is hereby given. Additional one hundred gold coins, additional ten reputation points, and one Silver Speed Totem!
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the ten thousand times amplification system. The reward is an additional one million gold coins, additional one hundred reputation points, and one Mythical grade Goddess of Wind totem!"
...
The system's world announcement had just been sent out, and all the players who had just entered the game were stunned.
Then, there was an uproar.
[D*mn, what's going on? The first person to summon a hero actually has a reward? Why didn't you tell me earlier? My reward's gone!]
[Yeah, if I knew there'd be a reward, I would've summoned a hero the moment I entered!]
[Hey, hey, can anyone tell me how to summon a hero?]
[Wow, I'm jealous. This should be a summoning token from a novice gift bag, right? The guide on the official website said that summoning a hero requires a summoning token!]
[Let's not talk about this for now. What's the concept of an SSS-class hero? Is there a higher-level hero?]
[Brother, you don't know? SSS-class is the highest level. This seal's luck is really heaven-defying!]
[Yeah, the system even rewarded him with gold-level equipment. I wonder what effect it'll have. I'm really envious!]
[@Netherworld, Big Boss, tell me your coordinates. I'll see how far away I am.]
[@Netherworld, does Big Boss need a girlfriend? I'm a big, cute girl!]
[@Netherworld, does Big Boss need a sidekick? I know how to cry!]
It was not just the players who were excited.
Under the series of notifications from the system, Li Cheng was also slightly surprised.
He truly did not expect that this would trigger the 10,000-times amplification.
Moreover, the rewards were so generous. There were gold coins, reputation, and items.
It was too amazing?!
One had to know that in the early stages of the Tribe game, gold coins were a very important resource, and they were extremely scarce.
After all, the players had not fully developed yet, and mining gold coins was an extremely difficult task.
Additionally, one gold coin was equivalent to 20 dragon coins.
With that in mind, in the blink of an eye, Li Cheng had already earned 200 million dragon coins!
If this were to be spread out, it would definitely shock everyone. Not to mention, reputation points were also extremely important.
That was because in this lost continent, not only were there players, there were also all kinds of powerful NPCs and natives.
Reputation points were the stepping stones to unlock many rare quests and even hidden quests.
It could be said that Li Cheng had gained a lot from this round.
However, he did not check his backpack immediately. Instead, he looked at the two-meter-tall figure beside him.
Shadow Princess—Lillian.
Of course, this was definitely not Lillian's height.
The reason she was more than two meters tall was that she was riding a tall warhorse that was completely covered in gray fog!
The slender figure sitting on the warhorse was Lillian.
Lillian was a little petite. She was not very tall and was covered in a layer of gray fog.
However, even so, Li Cheng could see Lillian's graceful figure through the fog.
Seeing that Li Cheng was staring at her, Lillian got off the horse and smiled at Li Cheng in an extremely standard aristocratic manner.
It was only at this moment that the gray fog gradually dissipated, revealing Lillian's original appearance.
The girl was wearing exquisite close-fitting armor. Her beautiful face, coupled with her ruby-like eyes, made her look extremely beautiful and moving.
However, what left the deepest impression on Li Cheng was her fair and somewhat sickly skin.
'Huh, is she still a sick child?'
Li Cheng could not help but laugh, but his heart was immediately filled with doubts.
'Shadow Princess?
'What kind of background is this?'
He had been to the shadow world before, but when did the shadow world have a princess?
Li Cheng thought for a moment, but he could not figure it out.
He could only shake his head before he started checking Lillian's attributes.
[Lillian]
[Description: A Princess from the Shadow World. She's an extremely powerful shadow knight. Other information is unknown.]
[Class: Shadow Knight.]
[Level: 1]
[Grade: SSS-class.]
[HP: 100,000]
[Mana: 60,000]
[Physical/magic attack: 2,000]
[Defense: 1,000]
[Skills:]
[1. Shadow Slash (Level 1): deals magic attacks to enemies in a straight line.]
[2. Summon Night Demon (Level MAX): summons a legendary mount, Night Demon, to assist in battle.]
...
Looking at such astonishing attributes, Li Cheng could not help but secretly click his tongue.
100,000 HP, 60,000 mana.
Her attack power even surpassed that of the champion troops, reaching an astonishing 2,000.
Even if she only had two skills, Li Cheng could feel Lillian's strength.
Moreover... These were only level 1 attributes!
Compared to the troops, the greatest advantage of heroes was that they could grow indefinitely.
The higher the level, the higher the attributes, and more skills would be unlocked.
As for how to level up?
He had a 10,000-times amplification system.
Would Lillian's level soar like a rocket?
At that moment, Lillian's voice was clear. "Hello, I'm Shadow Princess Lillian."
Li Cheng also replied, "Hello."
After saying that, Li Cheng smiled and looked at Lillian.
Seeing that Lillian said nothing more, Li Cheng opened his backpack.
There were two gift bags and a strange totem that had a wind blade.
[Goddess of Wind totem (Mythical grade)]
