C122 The Harvest Was Not Bad!

"You've acquired the Witchcraft Doll!"

"The Witchcraft Doll: Inscribe your foe's birth details on the doll, bury it, and they will be cursed! However, be warned—if your enemy is too strong, you might suffer a backlash!"

"You've obtained the Straw Doll!"

"The Straw Doll: Bind your soul to it, and it will manifest to shield you from a potentially fatal attack. Once it does, the Straw Doll will be destroyed and lost forever."

Chen Guo was pleasantly surprised by the string of rewards. He hadn't anticipated that defeating three Elite monsters would yield so many items. He also discovered that while ordinary monsters didn't grant Foundation Points, slaying Elites did.

It appeared that to earn Foundation Points, he needed to target monsters above the Elite rank. After level 50, leveling up in the Little World was no easy feat.

To maintain a steady progression, he'd have to venture into the Middle World. Otherwise, even daily Elite hunts in the Little World wouldn't suffice for efficient leveling.

With the three Elites defeated, Chen Guo had amassed a total of 12 Foundation Points, still a long way from the next level up. His current tally stood at 12/50.

Chen Guo wasn't pressed for time to level up. To him, the significance of leveling wasn't paramount.

Blessed with extraordinary talent, Chen Guo possessed not only the Omnipresent Duplication ability he'd drawn but had also replicated several Heaven Level talents from others.

Each one was a coveted ability that ordinary trial challengers could only dream of, yet Chen Guo had them all at his disposal.

This explained how his fighting capacity had effortlessly surpassed a million and continued to soar.

Without this rate of progression, Chen Guo would not do justice to his array of Heaven Level talents.

For most, leveling up would be the key to a significant boost in battle strength. But for Chen Guo, the increase was less remarkable.

It was the strategic application of his supreme talents that truly amplified his combat prowess.

In this game of Gods and Demons, Heaven Level talents were akin to having a golden finger, a secret cheat code.

Legendary figures typically have only one "golden finger," yet Chen Guo possesses a multitude of them, with the potential to acquire even more in the future.

With such a solid foundation, Chen Guo didn't regard leveling up as a matter of great importance.

Beyond the Foundation Point reward, this round brought a bounty of equipment and item rewards, though only a single skill reward was offered.

The Lightning Strike skill wasn't entirely useless to Chen Guo, but opportunities to employ it were scarce. Still, adhering to the principle that one can never have too many skills, Chen Guo went ahead and mastered it.

The Fenrir wolf fur coat exuded British elegance, its sleek black appearance undeniably cool.

While its effects were decent, it wasn't quite Chen Guo's style. He set it aside for now, knowing it could later be used for crafting, trading, or refining with a touch of Indigo.

The platinum necklace, in Chen Guo's opinion, was utterly worthless. He promptly refined it away with Indigo.

After all, wearing it was akin to inviting bad luck, comparable to catching a cold on purpose just to justify the use of cold medicine—a foolish endeavor indeed.

The Witchcraft Doll, however, was worth keeping for trade, likely to be coveted by the ladies of the harem.

The scarecrow, on the other hand, was genuinely valuable, offering a one-time escape from death. Chen Guo didn't hesitate to bind it to his soul, knowing it would be foolish not to utilize such a precious item.

Among the loot, the Timber Wolf cub stood out as the most remarkable.

This marked Chen Guo's first foray into pet ownership.

Accompanied by this pet, one could gain the protective buff of a wolf pack, with a significant 5% chance of armor penetration during combat—a notable advantage given the rapid pace of human attacks.

The Timber Wolf cub would prove especially effective against armored foes, but its true charm lay in its potential for companionship.

Chen Guo gazed at the little wolf that materialized in his palm—a gray wolf with large, innocent eyes, bouncing about, tugging at his heartstrings.

Nevertheless, Chen Guo placed the little wolf into his spatial storage. There it would wait for future moments of leisurely petting or battle assistance. For now, the timber wolf cub would reside in its special space.

In the end, there were three corpses left.

Chen Guo had grown so indifferent to the bodies of common monsters that he didn't even bother duplicating them anymore. The attribute points gained from such duplications were negligible, barely making a dent. It felt like a complete waste of time to even touch these monsters.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Guo produced the jasper gourd and invoked the Spirit Gourd Curse, effortlessly drawing the monster corpses into the gourd to be refined.

Now, Chen Guo focused on duplicating only the corpses of elite monsters.

Before the others could even grasp what was happening, Chen Guo was already examining the corpses.

"Ding! Duplication initiated. You have copied 300 points of strength from the Giant Wolf Fenrir!"

"Ding! Duplication initiated. You have copied the swiftness of the Timber Wolf!"

"Swiftness: You've gained the passive skill of swiftness. In battle, your speed will increase by 10%! Outside of combat, your speed reverts to normal."

"Ding! Duplication initiated! You have copied the Lilac Sorceress's Weakness Curse!"

"Weakness Curse: Temporarily curse an enemy, reducing their health, mana, and defense by 30%, while increasing the damage they take by 30% for three seconds. Cooldown time: five hours."

While the 300 points of strength and the swiftness seemed trivial to Chen Guo, the Lilac Sorceress's Weakness Curse truly took him by surprise.

The curse was overwhelmingly powerful, slashing an opponent's capabilities by a staggering 30%—a truly alarming level of debilitation.

Despite the curse's brief duration of three seconds and a lengthy five-hour cooldown, its potent effect was undeniable. It could turn the tide of battle at a critical juncture.

"Hahaha, what a fruitful venture this has been! There's nothing I enjoy more than slaying these monsters!" Chen Guo bellowed with laughter, unsheathing the Cosmos Sword and severing the Timber Wolf's head in one clean stroke.

In this world, one's word was their bond. If he promised to present the Timber Wolf's head to the leader of the human stronghold, then that's precisely what he would do—no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
