Heroes' Prison

Chapter 308 - 303: Level-Up Potion

After reading the post, Huang Yi hadn’t expected Wen Tao to list him as the most suitable leader for players in the China Region. Of course, this was not something he could decide on his own. At least the majority of Chinese players needed to think so for it to be possible.

Huang Yi himself was not opposed to this identity; after all, his goal was to use The Second World to achieve the organization’s aims. China was currently the strongest national power in The Second World, and becoming the leader of the players in this country would make it easier for him to achieve his goals.

Next, Huang Yi looked at the replies below the post. The responses were heated, with some people approving of him and others strongly opposing him. The reason for opposition was that he had once killed 300,000 people.

In the eyes of the opposers, no matter what, the battle in Dragon City had been simply a personal grudge between Huang Yi and Feng Zhi. Dragging 300,000 people into it was too much. Even if Huang Yi had at the time given those people time to save their lives, warning them to leave Feng Zhi’s team, it was still too much.

After glancing over these replies, Huang Yi left the forum and entered The Second World.

Upon logging in, Huang Yi appeared at the Starting Point.

At this time, there was no one around him, just the silent sunlight filtering through the leaves, forming patches of light on the ground.

Xiao Chunzi had already gone to school, with no one fussing at his feet, making the whole world seem a lot lonelier.

In fact, Huang Yi didn’t need to return here, but it had become a habit to unintentionally come to this spot to log in and out every time.

As usual, Huang Yi took out a medicine bottle from his storage ring and looked inside.

"Huh?" The next moment, he stared closely at the medicine bottle, emitting a light sound of surprise.

Inside the bottle was a drop of five-colored potion!

A five-colored potion - Huang Yi had never seen such a potion, not even heard of it. The potions he had encountered before were at most one color; he had never even seen a two-colored potion, but this one was multicolored!

At that moment, the drop of potion was rolling around the bottle, lustrous and translucent, not dissolving, and appeared extraordinarily mysterious.

Huang Yi curiously examined it.

[Level-Up Potion](A-grade, Magic Item - Potion)

Can be used before reaching level 100 to increase your level by 1.

A potion that raises your level!

Huang Yi was mildly surprised; this potion could undoubtedly save him a lot of time. He was now level 73, and it would take days of effort to level up once, yet this potion could instantly increase his level by one!

This was simply a divine leveling potion; if he had dozens of such potions, he could directly rush to the Holy Domain.

However, now was obviously not the best time to take the potion. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to level up. After reaching level 90 or so, who knows how long it would take to level up once, thus using this potion then would be the most appropriate.

Huang Yi took out a magic bottle and carefully placed the potion inside, storing it in the storage ring for use when he reached level 90 or above.

Next, Huang Yi started to look into the success rate of War Soul.

He needed to eliminate the first three layers of Defense War Soul and apply those layers’ limits to the 7th, 8th, and 9th layers of Attack Spirit. By doing so, the Perfect War Soul would be completely achieved.

To remove the first three layers of Defense War Soul meant to allow the first three layers to fail once; the 3rd layer had a success rate of 98%, which meant the failure rate was just 2%.

Huang Yi used energy points to utilize the Eye of Time and checked today’s system determination for the 3rd layer.

His eyes suddenly emitted a faint glow, like a pair of crystal eyes, peering into all the secrets of this world.

Suddenly, the corner of his mouth lifted —

He saw the long-awaited failure!

He could finally eliminate the first three layers of the Defense War Soul!

The mere 2% failure rate had finally caught up with him!

He immediately clicked to enhance the Defense War Soul’s 3rd Stage again, but as expected, the system deemed the attempt a failure. Subsequently, the 3rd Stage, the 2nd Stage, and the 1st Stage were all cleared.

Once the enhancement of a War Soul fails, the achievements of the current phase are wiped clean. The 1st Stage, 2nd Stage, and 3rd Stage all belong to the first phase; whether it is the failure of the 3rd Stage or the 2nd Stage, all three could be cleared.

Similarly, within the second phase, if the 5th Stage fails, then the 4th Stage, 5th Stage, and 6th Stage would also be erased correspondingly—there would be no possibility of only retaining the 6th Stage.

Now, Huang Yi was at the last step on his path to a Perfect War Soul. His Life Soul currently activated the 7th, 8th, and 9th Stages. His Defense War Soul also activated the 7th, 8th, and 9th Stages, and most importantly, his Attack Spirit had the first six stages activated. All he needed to do was activate the last three stages, and then his path to a Perfect War Soul would be complete.

At that time, he would become the first holder of a Perfect War Soul in The Second World!

Huang Yi once again activated the Eye of Time to check the success rate of the 7th Stage of the Attack Spirit.

He was extremely lucky today; the success rate for the 7th Stage was only 10%, but today’s attempt was deemed a success, and the enhancement was at its maximum value, reaching 8%!

However, the Experience Points consumed were also very high. Once Huang Yi chose to enhance, he would drop to Level 72. He decided to inform Thunder God before proceeding with the enhancement.

Today was a lucky day for him, as two routine matters brought pleasant surprises.

Next, Huang Yi began to vigorously climb the Tower of Pantheons.

Now, his most important task was to race to Level 100.

At Level 100, players could enter the Holy Domain Rank, and War Souls could be advanced, marking another significant turning point. More importantly, whoever first broke through to Level 100 would receive favor from the Oskan Royal Academy, be highlighted for elite training, and be rewarded with 2 National Honor Points.

Previously, no matter how grand the feat, the reward was 1 National Honor Point, but this was the only time two points were awarded, causing a frenzy among everyone around the world. Currently, the World Rankings’ number one was Miyamoto Musashi from Japan, at Level 77. Huang Yi was only at Level 73, and he hadn’t finished enhancing his War Soul yet; he was lagging quite far behind in levels. The difficulty of contending for the position of the first player to break through Level 100 was not insignificant.

Gradually, night fell, and Huang Yi logged off, returning to Rose Prison.

It was now dinner time, and the atmosphere was livelier than usual. Huang Yi walked out of his cell towards the canteen.

"Ah-Kai, three months have passed. The deadline for the Rare Quest is today. Did you complete it?"

"Not yet, how regrettable. However, I have completed half of the Rare Quest and can choose a Rare Race."

"Same here, I only met the standards for a Rare Race, not a Rare Class. But this isn’t bad, considering there are only over 6,000 Rare Class Holders worldwide, while there are more than 5 million Rare Race Holders. On average, only one in every 2,000 players is a Rare Race Holder; we are one in a thousand."

...

All along the way, Huang Yi heard many people discussing the Rare Quest, and before he knew it, three months had passed. Three months ago to this day, everyone in Rose Prison had entered The Second World, and now, after three months, the time limit for the Rare Quest was up, and it was possible to see how many people had completed it.

Huang Yi quickly arrived in the canteen, got his meal, and found Thunder God.

At that moment, Thunder God was discussing something with several senior members. Seeing Huang Yi coming, he immediately gestured for him to join.

"Ah-Yi, today is the deadline for the Rare Quest. Do you know how many people in our prison completed it?" Thunder God asked with a mysterious smile, a hint of excitement in his tone.

"How many? Did it exceed the expectation?" Seeing Thunder God’s expression, Huang Yi couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

"It did exceed expectations!" Wang Jin, one of the prison’s high-ranking officials, nodded and joyfully said, "Out of the 5,172 criminals in Heroes’ Prison, 571 completed the Rare Quest, a ratio of about one in nine, while the world average is about one in two million. At present, there are a little over 6,000 Rare Class Holders worldwide, and our Rose Prison accounts for nearly one-tenth of that."

"That’s an incredibly high ratio!" Huang Yi remarked in surprise. The number of Rare Class Holders in Rose Prison was equivalent to the sum of several dozen countries. If this group grew stronger, it was hard to tell how much impact they would have on The Second World. More importantly, they all took orders from Huang Yi!

The same could not be said for any other power, not even the Dao Feng-led Xuanyuan Clan, the Pope-led Heaven’s Guild, or the Heavenly Dao-led Dongying Guild. Even if all three major guilds combined, they did not have as many Rare Class Holders. After all, they still had many competitors in their own countries. For instance, the China Region now had hundreds of guilds competing against the Xuanyuan Clan for recruits, especially the Hall of Famous Generals, a great guild that was no less than the Xuanyuan Clan.

"Of course, the headsets issued by the Era of Corporation this time have a humanized improvement. It probably takes into consideration that we have been lagging behind others for two years. So, this batch of headsets allows users to choose the general direction of their Rare Quest. For example, the Olympic fencing champion in our prison can choose a swordsmanship-related Rare Quest; our musician can choose a music-related Rare Quest; medical professionals can choose a medical-related Rare Quest... With such matching, the completion rate has increased significantly. Previously, virtual equipment couldn’t be chosen like this, which counts as a small compensation from the Corporation to us," Overlord said with a slight smile.

"How many people became a Rare Race?" Huang Yi continued to inquire. Being a Rare Race Holder was also a powerful boost. Out of every 2,000 people, there was only one, and they were very important talents. If Rare Class Holders were elite talents, then Rare Race Holders were the backbone and could even make up a Rare Race Group, where every member is a Rare Race, unlike Rare Classes, which couldn’t do so because of their smaller numbers.

"There are many more Rare Races; out of the 5,172 criminals here, 4,223 are Rare Races," Thunder God said with a slight smile. "Along with Rare Class Holders, that’s a ratio of over 90%!"
