Online Game: Low Drop Rate? I Have a Guaranteed Drop System!-Chapter 199: A New Class, Refining the Energy Core

"They actually unlocked a new class? The Four Sacred Guardians—this seems like a hidden class." Someone flipped through the system announcements, asking in confusion.

"The Four Saints? Could it be related to Azure Dragon and the others? But isn’t the class change requirement a bit too difficult?"

"Hidden classes are supposed to be difficult. That just means this class is really powerful."

"You have to join the Montemar Empire, gain Demon Clan bloodline, and also receive the blessings of the Four Sacred Beasts."

"The rewards for joining Montemar Empire don’t seem as high as joining the Haldrem Empire or the Heaven-Devil Empire. It’s only a 5% attribute boost."

"That’s not bad, honestly. I’m going to apply to join Montemar Empire—anyone want to come with me?"

"Count me in."

The crowd was excited and didn’t leave.Instead, they gathered at the gates of the Chinese City to apply for membership in the Montemar Empire.

Johnnie paid no attention to these players.

He checked his system rewards.

The title of King of the Montemar Empire gave him a 30% boost to all stats.His power level had just gotten another huge upgrade.

And this title couldn’t be transferred; if the Montemar Empire was destroyed, it would vanish.

"Faith power?" Johnnie looked at the attribute description for the title, a little puzzled.

He knew that faith power was the strength most coveted by the Divines.That’s also why every Divine powerhouse wants to found a nation.

He had thought that after the Montemar Empire was established, Azure Dragon and the others would acquire faith power.Now it seemed that wasn’t the case.

But for now, faith power wasn’t really useful to him.Only after reaching the Divine stage could he truly make use of it.

Even with the Montemar Empire founded, it still wasn’t absolutely safe.In five days, the suppression field on Universe Continent would lift.When the Divines descended, they would probably target the Montemar Empire.

For him, though, that might not be a bad thing.

Johnnie possessed God-killing power; killing a Divine permanently increased his stats by 10%.

He had already killed four Divine powerhouses, so his stats were up by 40%.

But that still wasn’t enough.He needed to strengthen himself as much as possible before the suppression was gone.

Class advancement and the Map of Heaven and Earth fragment from Novice Village No.33—Both could boost his strength.

But for now, he wasn’t in a rush to advance his class.

With the Cosmic Eclipse Blade, Massacre of Demons, and Soul Devouring special abilities, he could keep killing monsters to get stronger.

Johnnie didn’t dwell on the matter any longer.He found Dylan and immediately appointed him as King of the Chinese City under the Montemar Empire, becoming a hands-off ruler himself.

Now that he ruled the Montemar Empire, he could grant the title of king to three people.

Aside from Dylan, he hadn’t decided on the other two yet.

The Yett Family had contributed a lot to founding the Montemar Empire, so they were qualified for kingship.

However, Atlas had a special quest; founding a nation could also unlock a new class for him.

Johnnie still had four National Founding Decrees, enough to help Atlas establish a country.

But there was no rush.He planned to wait until the suppression on Universe Continent faded and he could gauge the Divines’ strength before helping Atlas build a nation.

If they couldn’t resist the Divines, any new country would just be destroyed.

"Azure Dragon, Senior, what kind of class is the Four Sacred Guardians?" Johnnie found Azure Dragon and the others and asked curiously.

"Kid, do you want to change class to the Four Sacred Guardians? It’s an absolutely powerful class—magic, physical, defense, and support, all rolled into one." Azure Dragon asked expectantly.

"Really?" Johnnie was surprised, and a little tempted.

"Better not. I already have two classes." He hesitated for a moment, then gave up on the idea.

The Four Sacred Guardians was a strong class, but his Sword Immortal and Mage of the Five Elements were hardly weak.To change to the Four Sacred Guardians, he’d have to give up one of his existing classes.

Johnnie didn’t want to lose either of them.

Azure Dragon and his group looked a bit disappointed.

The White Spirit Tiger spoke up: "I remember there is actually a way to unlock a third class."

"You can have a third class?" Johnnie was shocked.He’d only ever heard that refining the Glassy Heart to unlock a second profession was the limit.

He had never heard of anyone with a third class.

The White Spirit Tiger nodded and said, "But it’s a bit troublesome. You need to complete a special quest. With your current strength, you might be able to succeed.""And you already have the Witch Clan bloodline and the Demon Clan bloodline, so changing class to The Four Sacred Guardians would be a huge boost to your power."

Johnnie was tempted and asked, "How do I unlock a third class?"

The White Spirit Tiger continued, "This opportunity is in the Land of Confusion. You’ll need to find a unicorn to activate the quest."

A unicorn?Another creature from ancient myth and legend?

Phoenix landed on his head and spoke, "Kid, don’t get your hopes up. Unicorns are rare to begin with and hardly ever show themselves."

Johnnie didn’t really mind. He had to head to the Land of Confusion anyway—there was still a Map of Heaven and Earth fragment waiting for him there.

Besides, he wanted to find out if the Demon race was in the Land of Confusion, and maybe he’d get lucky when the time came.

"Sir, is the battle over? Skye is urging you to return the shield." At that moment, Coco’s voice sounded in his mind.

Johnnie was speechless. Seeing that nothing else was going on, he focused and entered the Map of Heaven and Earth.

"Kid, give me back the shield!" Skye was still standing there and couldn’t wait to speak.

"Senior, there’s still one use left. How about I give it back after I finish using it?" Johnnie was reluctant; this was a terrifying weapon that could instantly kill a Divine powerhouse.

Besides, he could sense that even after the Universe Continent’s suppression ended, the shield blessed by Skye’s power would still be able to threaten a Divine.

"No way!" Skye refused without hesitation. With a wave of his hand, the massive shield in Johnnie’s inventory flew right out.

The shield had already recognized its master. As long as it was in this space, there was no way to keep it.

"Hmph." Skye snorted coldly, took back the shield, and vanished on the spot.

Johnnie couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. If he could fully wield that shield, he wouldn’t have to fear any Divine powerhouse.

But that was just impossible. The Skyward Guard was a super artifact and had already recognized Skye as its owner. Without Skye’s power, Johnnie could barely even lift it.

Johnnie didn’t dwell on it any longer and turned his attention to the pile of energy cores at his side.

These were all obtained by killing Mechanical Race Battle Mechas—over thirty thousand in total.

He now possessed mechanical talent and could refine and use them.

Johnnie attempted to refine one.

[Refined energy core. Four basic attributes +10 points.]

The prompt message flashed, and Johnnie was stunned. Refining a mechanical core could directly grant him 10 points to his basic attributes!

There were over thirty thousand energy cores here. If he refined them all, he could gain over three hundred thousand points to his four basic attributes.

"This is like hitting the jackpot!" Johnnie was overjoyed. He’d been wondering how to quickly power up.

This was a surprise windfall.

[Refined energy core. Four basic attributes +10 points.]

...

Prompt after prompt kept appearing as Johnnie crazily refined those energy cores.

[Ding, you have reached the energy core refining limit. Raise your mechanical talent to 10% to continue refining.]

After refining ten thousand mechanical energy cores, the prompt message appeared again.

There was a limit?

Johnnie looked at the remaining twenty thousand energy cores and felt a bit disappointed.

Still, raising his mechanical talent to 10% wasn’t impossible.

Killing a Mechanical Battle Mecha gave him 1 point of Mechanical Perception, and every 10,000 points of Mechanical Perception increased his mechanical talent by 1%.

As long as he kept slaughtering Mechanical Race Battle Mechas, he could keep going.It looked like he’d have to head for Novice Village No. 33.

Johnnie glanced at another pile next to the energy cores—these were Demon Clan bloodlines.All of these had been fished up by Maiev with the Divine and Demon Fishing Rod in that unknown space inside the Map of Heaven and Earth.

There were over a hundred drops of Demon Clan bloodline.Johnnie had already refined more than forty drops of Demon Clan bloodline; if he refined fifty more, he could fully transform his blood into that of the Demon Clan.

Under normal circumstances, you could only obtain one type of bloodline power.Johnnie had already obtained the Witch Clan blood and had completely converted to the Witch Clan bloodline.

However, since liches and demons shared the same origin, these two bloodlines wouldn’t conflict, and he could also refine Demon Clan blood.Thinking of this, Johnnie began refining the Demon Clan blood.

[Ding, you have fused Demon Clan blood. Four basic attributes +500 points.]...

The prompt messages popped up again; refining Demon Clan blood also directly increased his four basic attributes by 500 points, and his stats soared once more.[Ding, you have fused Demon Clan blood. Four basic attributes +500 points.]

[Ding, you have fused 100 drops of Demon Clan blood. Complete transformation to Demon Clan bloodline. Four basic attributes +10000 points.]

Very quickly, Johnnie fused 100 drops of Demon Clan blood, and his power surged again.

"Huh?" Suddenly, he grunted in pain, his brow furrowing, his face twisted with agony.

Inside his body, two wild and powerful forces collided, the terrifying power threatening to tear him apart.

It was the Witch Clan bloodline and the Demon Clan bloodline.

"What’s going on? Wasn’t it said that liches and demons share the same origin, so the two bloodlines wouldn’t conflict?" A sudden sense of dread swept over him, his expression turning to panic.

If such powerful forces couldn’t be suppressed, he might explode and die, and it would mean total annihilation.

Johnnie gritted his teeth through the pain that felt like his body was being ripped apart, sat cross-legged, and tried with all his might to suppress those two raging forces inside him.

Boom, boom...

The two powers crashed against each other, his body echoing with thunderous noise. Each time they slammed together, Johnnie suffered heavy damage—he simply couldn’t suppress it.

In an instant, blood streamed from all his facial orifices, and an uncontrollable force surged out from within him.

Buzz!

The surrounding space trembled, and the overwhelming power startled Coco and Skye.

"Master, what’s happening?" Coco sensed that Johnnie’s power was dangerously unstable and called out in alarm.

But there was no response.

Johnnie bled from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth—his face twisted in pain, his body drenched in sweat. His mind was on the verge of collapse, and if he didn’t get help soon, he might explode and die.

"This is bad!" Skye realized what was happening, his voice grave. "He’s trying to fuse lich and demon blood!"

"What?" Another startled shout rang out and a phantom appeared—it was Aureon, the Human Emperor. He frowned and said, "This kid really is insane—trying to fuse lich and demon blood with a mortal body."

"Seniors, do something! Johnnie can’t hold on!" Coco pleaded urgently.
