Mini World Game Console-Chapter 840 - 841 Zhao Huo, Look at Others’ Ren Zuo

Loaded with spoils.

Late at night, Ren Suo ended a marvelous day's journey and began to tally his loot on the large hotel bed. The Visit Pool had changed back from "The Inheritance of the Great Wall" to "Human Glory." However, Ren Suo didn't plan on drawing from the Great Wall's pool anymore. He had already drawn the strongest few and would mostly get Seventh Stage cultivators if he continued.

He had Nine Revolutions Ren Zuo, Eight-Turn You Jiu, Eight-Turn Chen Liao, Seventh Stage Cha Xian'er, and Seventh Stage Ren Qingqing. After all, Ren Qingqing's Unity Magic could cooperate with You Jiu's; she will most likely become a member of the Great Wall in the future.

Ren Suo suddenly remembered Chen Liao, who had been beaten half to death. He then looked at Eight-Turn Chen Liao and Seventh Stage Ren Qingqing. One is a Divine Cultivator focused on explosive defense, and the other is simply a Fortress Monk adept at taking hits… It seems Ren Qingqing might very well end up working under You Jiu in the future.

Ren Suo composed himself, eagerly anticipating the unboxing, and skimmed through his new ally's information:

"Cha Xian'er, Support Cultivator, Long-Range Position, Deployment Cost 5 points"

"Attack: None, Defense: Weak, Attack Range: 3 squares"

"Trait: Heart-to-heart Connection: Doesn't attack, but all friendly troops within attack range will hear Cha Xian'er's singing, continuously restoring health and enhancing defense (strengthened after Seventh Stage)."

"Unity Magic: Blaze War Song: Cha Xian'er's war song echoes across the battlefield, rapidly restoring health to all friendly troops and causing delay and dizziness to all enemy troops during its duration. If Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains exists on the battlefield, the duration of Blaze War Song is extended by 100%."

"Trustworthiness: 0%"

"Unity Magic Cultivation: fourth transformation 0%"

"Blaze Songstress·Tea Fairy" and "Voice of Prophecy·Fina" were the same type of support cultivator: they didn't attack but continuously buffed nearby friendly troops. Unlike Fina, who emphasized enhancing attack and damaging enemy troops, Cha Xian'er greatly enhanced the survival ability of friendly troops. She could also control enemy troops on a large scale, potentially instantly changing the outcome when necessary.

However, when Benevolent King Ren Zuo is on the battlefield, Cha Xian'er's Unity Magic duration doubles… What does that mean? Could Ren Zuo also cheer from the battlefield, so Cha Xian'er gets an encore?

"You Jiu, Imperial Guard Cultivator, Close-Combat Position, Deployment Cost 20 points"

"Attack: High, Defense: High, Attack Range: 4 squares"

"Trait: Cotton Rage: Uses the Flying Sword for long-range single-target attacks; at close range, attacks all units within 1 square. Able to construct a Beacon Tower."

"Second Trait: (Activated after Eighth Revolution)"

"Unity Magic: Celestial Wrath: Summons 1,048,576 White Emperor Swords, simultaneously attacking all units within the attack range. Each attack during its duration causes 2,550% critical damage (damage is shared among multiple units)."

"Trustworthiness: 0%"

"Unity Magic Cultivation: fourth transformation 0%"

Ren Suo rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things.

Every attack causes 25.5 times critical damage! Even though this is an active Unity Magic that enters cooldown after its duration, and even though the damage is shared if multiple units are within range, that damage boost is still ridiculously high! You Jiu himself is already a high-attack cultivator. If there's only one enemy unit within his attack range, wouldn't it be killed in seconds?

This was currently the only Eight-Turn Cultivator on par with Angel Zack. Angel Zack was a versatile Fortress Monk, while You Jiu excelled as an Imperial Guard Cultivator whose attack power was pushed to the extreme. Moreover, You Jiu was the first Imperial Guard Cultivator Ren Suo had acquired. His deployment cost was exceedingly high, but of course, Ren Suo would always take any opportunity to deploy this unbeatable Little Sword Immortal onto the battlefield.

And then, there was the biggest gain from this Seek Visit—Ren Zuo!

"Benevolent King Ren Zuo, Divine Cultivator, Close/Long-Range Position, Deployment Cost 19 points"

"Attack: Extremely High, Defense: Extremely High, Attack Range: 5 squares"

"Trait: Ren—Unity Magic Cultivation locked at Nine Revolutions; must forcibly exit the battlefield after Unity has been active for a certain duration."

"Second Trait: Free Spirit—Can be deployed at any position. If no Spiritual Energy Points exist at the chosen position, a certain duration of Joining the Way is required. Once deployed, can be moved at any time."

"Third Trait: Great Wall—All Mysterious Country cultivators' Attack Power +10%, Defensive Power +10%. The entire Cultivators Legion recovers to peak condition when Ren Zuo exits the battlefield."

"Unity Magic: Invincible Presence—Simultaneously attacks all enemy units within range. Ren Zuo automatically casts offensive spells targeting the enemies' weaknesses (impact, explosion, corrosion, ice-fire, etc.). Enemy units hit by Ren Zuo's attack will be slowed. Unity Magic activates automatically upon deployment and has an unlimited duration."

"Trustworthiness: 0%"

"Unity Magic Cultivation: Nine Revolutions 99%"

Ren Suo read the information on Benevolent King Ren Zuo three full times. Then he slowly put his phone down, got out of bed, and started doing push-ups on the floor.

After doing 40 push-ups, Ren Suo suddenly sprang up, ran to the balcony, and let out a furious roar—

"Zhao Huo, you trash!—"

They are both Nine-Turn cultivators, but this gap is just too huge! There's no need to use Fantasy Experience Crystals to acquire Future Echoes; Ren Zuo is already at max level! With extremely high attack and defense, his overall score reaches a perfect 10! And you, Zhao Huo, still need me to tirelessly grind Celestial Origin Stones to upgrade you!

Though Zhao Huo's Unity Magic, "Dragon King's Secret Record," provided Ren Suo with a lot of Spell Casting Points, making it easy to deploy cultivators quickly, it paled in comparison to Ren Zuo's large-area, group weakness-targeting, slowing attack. It was like the difference between a handgun and an assault rifle—both useful, but the latter was stronger and cooler!

Being strong is a matter of the current version, but being cool is for a lifetime. And right now, Ren Zuo's Unity Magic is both strong and cool!

As for Benevolent King Ren Zuo's Second Trait, "Free Spirit," and Third Trait, "Great Wall," they were also extremely powerful. However, Dragon King Zhao Huo also had two traits that hadn't been activated yet, so it was difficult to compare.

If Ren Suo previously didn't have a clear understanding of Nine-Turn cultivators, he was now thoroughly impressed by them.

Invincible! Strategic weaponry! Purchasing him was a total win! The first thing to do in battle is to deploy my Invincible Ren Zuo!

Ren Suo gleefully began arranging his Cultivators Legion. He now had 15 elite cultivators, with a total force of 25,000.

Although Ren Zuo was very strong, his drawback was also glaringly obvious: "must forcibly exit the battlefield after a certain time." Ren Suo could, of course, wait for Ren Zuo's deployment cooldown to finish before redeploying him, but each legion's cooldown time was related to its numbers. The larger the legion, the longer the deployment cooldown.

Ren Suo had calmed down now. Upon careful consideration, he realized that classifying Benevolent King Ren Zuo as a "Divine Cultivator" was indeed fitting. He isn't a regular combat unit, and the amplifications from the legion don't significantly enhance his output. The real main combat units, which could receive more troop allocation, were other cultivators who could enter the fray quickly and last the entire battle.

In the end, Ren Suo allocated 4,000 cultivators each to Zhao Huo (Vanguard), Zack (Fortress Monk), Fan Fan (Heavenly Calamity), and You Jiu (Imperial Guard). The others were allocated 1,500 to 2,000 cultivators depending on the situation. As for Divine Cultivators like Ren Zuo, Chen Liao, and Hasuka, they each received 1,000.

Then, Ren Suo looked towards the Cultivator Base and saw that Ren Zuo, You Jiu, and Cha Xian'er had already blended in among the children.

It was also late at night in the game, and the children were in bed, though few were actually asleep.

The 1999 version of Ren Zuo was just an adorable little boy with a golden amulet around his neck, clearly from a wealthy family. He stood beside a crib, chin in his hands, making silly faces at the cute little baby inside, trying to amuse her. The little baby in the crib was, in fact, Cha Xian'er. However, she was busy sucking on a pacifier and playing with a toy hanging above the crib, paying Ren Zuo no attention at all.

Recalling the admiration Cha Xian'er had for Ren Zuo in the Dispersing Spirit Space, it truly was a case of "how the times have changed."

Meanwhile, You Jiu was sound asleep, a pair of glasses beside his pillow. It was unclear whether he was naturally nearsighted or had developed it from watching too much TV at a young age. He looked well-behaved, clutching a panda doll. However, Roy and Hasuka started fighting for some reason, startling little You Jiu awake. He trembled in fright as he ran to the side.

The conflict between Roy and Hasuka quickly spread through the entire dormitory. Fierce little girls like Xiao Meng, Fan Fan, and Sakura Kyoko immediately joined in, sparking the eighteenth pillow fight—these kids particularly enjoyed throwing pillows.

Little You Jiu didn't want to participate. Just then, he saw little Zack, the golden-haired boy, also hiding to the side, along with Little Zhao Huo, who was wearing a small skirt. Little You Jiu's eyes lit up. He hurriedly scampered over to join them, and the three little boys formed a quivering coalition of cowards.

Ren Suo found it somewhat amusing. They are, after all, two of the strongest Eight-Turn cultivators and the weakest Nine-Turn cultivator...

Ren Suo stopped looking at the dormitory. His gaze shifted to an empty space in the base, where he indeed found another construction option. Just as having Angel Zack allowed him to construct the Echo Building "Watchtower," drawing You Jiu now enabled him to build the Echo Building "Beacon Tower."

Ren Suo actually found it strange. Why is the hero associated with the Beacon Tower You Jiu, and not Ren Zuo? Isn't Ren Zuo stronger?

However, after Ren Suo spent one Celestial Origin Stone to build the "Beacon Tower," he understood why. The "Beacon Tower" was similar to the "Watchtower"; its top room also displayed hero portraits—photos of individuals from the Great Wall: Ren Zuo, You Jiu, Mr. Chuan, Endless Monk, Cha Xian'er, Chen Liao…

However, unlike in the Watchtower, the Great Wall's photos weren't arranged by hierarchy but were purely arranged alphabetically. Next to each frame was also a list of individual achievements.

For example, Ren Zuo's achievement list included "Creation of the Law Network," "Improvement of 108,000 spells," and "Authoring the Cultivation Method: Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records," among others. Many achievements below these were crossed out, presumably Ren Zuo's future accomplishments, which players weren't allowed to see yet. Ren Zuo's achievement list was very long, a full 10 pages. Others also had substantial lists, ranging from 3 to 7 pages.

Only You Jiu had a whopping 35 pages!

Currently, only the first two pages of You Jiu's achievement chart were viewable. Ren Suo flipped through them and found they mostly consisted of achievements like "Slayed the Demon Liu Xiankai," "Slayed the Great Demon Pika Soldier," and "Slayed the Sand King," along with combat achievements such as "Defeated Hasuka," "Defeated Sakura Kyoko," and "Fought Zack to a Draw."

If You Jiu's later achievements were of a similar type, Ren Suo could understand why he had become the hero who embodied the people's aspirations. Compared to the elusive Ren Zuo, You Jiu seemed more tangible and accessible.

Despite his many shortcomings, You Jiu was a pure nationalist, always proudly exhibiting an attitude of "Heaven first, Earth second, we are third." Being incredibly powerful and globally unsurpassed, it was inevitable that the public would develop a fondness for him. All of You Jiu's shortcomings turned into advantages when dealing with external threats! Imperious! Dominant! Fighting for the country's benefit!

Moreover, as a workhorse of the Great Wall, You Jiu constantly traveled the land slaying monsters and demons, ridding the populace of countless such evils. Even if his image was poor and his mouth foul, many people were grateful to him. One could even say that this image of You Jiu, with his obvious faults making him seem little different from an ordinary person, led people to simultaneously criticize and support him.

Compared to Ren Zuo, who strategically enhanced national power, You Jiu was different. He tactically fought for the nation's glory, was imperiously patriotic when dealing with foreign entities, and slayed monsters and demons domestically. This naturally made him more down-to-earth and more easily regarded as a hero.

Ren Suo looked around. The Beacon Tower had no binoculars but did have a sand table. The model on the sand table was clearly the Cultivators Legion's base, with fifteen flags placed on it. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Ren Suo clicked on one of the flags, and the game displayed a message:

"Dragon King Zhao Huo, Magic Strengthening—

Mage's Death-Defying Feather·Divine Speed Dragon King's Secret Record: Gain 12 Spell Casting Points, cooldown reduced by 50%;

Mysterious Lord's Secret Record Foundation Chapter: Super Dragon King's Secret Record: Gain 12 Spell Casting Points and permanently increase damage by 12% in this battle;

Gate of Truth: Dragon King's Secret Record of Truth: Gain 18 Spell Casting Points, and the next 18 attacks will deal 225% critical damage.

..."

Ren Suo clicked on other flags and found that they all had Unity Magic Strengthening options for elite cultivators. The Beacon Tower, like the Watchtower, allowed players to assign ability items to elite cultivators to enhance their combat power. However, while the Watchtower strengthened traits, the Beacon Tower enhanced Unity Magic.

Both buildings were indeed useful, but Ren Suo faced a practical problem: he didn't have many ability items. Even if he used all his ability items for strengthening, he could only enhance a small portion of his cultivators.

At that moment, Ren Suo suddenly remembered something and opened the "Content Preservation Vault."

Among a multitude of Low-Star Keys, two shone brilliantly, dazzlingly vivid.

One was the "Key of Light," obtained from Karen, which Ren Suo had cherished for a long time and hesitated to use. It could open any Treasure Box.

"Key of Light: Can open any Star-rated Treasure Chest, guarantees a 100% enhanced reward, and allows the player to choose one of three enhancement paths."

The other, naturally, was the "Five-Star Soul Key" he had just acquired from You Jiu today:

"Five-Star Soul Key: +40% chance to gain additional soul-class rewards, or apply soul enhancement to existing rewards."
