【Congratulations, you have successfully protected the Nightshade Spirit and eliminated all enemies.】
【Enemies killed in this round of the game: 140 Swamp Merman, 1 Swamp Merman King.】
【Game rating: S】
【Game reward: F+ Rank Diamond Treasure Chest】
【Congratulations, you have successfully cleared the Promotion Match, and you have been promoted to an E-Rank Player!】
【Congratulations, you have become an official player of the Mist Game, and all permissions are now enabled!】
"Does one only become an official player of the Mist Game after reaching E-Rank?"
"Does that mean F-Rank players are just trainee players?"
"After I get home, I'll properly check what permissions E-Rank players have," Chu He thought to himself.
As for now, it was definitely time to open the treasure chest.
As the seven-colored light descended, the Diamond Treasure Chest appeared before Chu He.
Looking at the brilliant Diamond Treasure Chest, Chu He felt that soaking in that foul-smelling swamp for so long was worth it.
"I wonder what I can get from the Diamond Treasure Chest this time?"
Chu He rubbed his hands together and walked over with an excited expression to open the chest.
【Opened F+ Rank Diamond Treasure Chest, obtained eight Free Attribute Points, obtained two Skill Points, obtained F+ Rank Equipment Merman Necklace, obtained F+ Rank Item Merman Horn, obtained 500 Mist Coin.】
"Only one piece of equipment and one item?" Chu He frowned.
To be honest, this haul left him a bit disappointed.
Clearly, obtaining three items from a Diamond Treasure Chest was based on chance.
Chu He sighed and began to check the information on the equipment and items he had obtained.
【Equipment Name: Merman Necklace】
【Item Level: F+】
【Equipment Slot: Necklace】
【Equipment Effect: After equipping, gain thirty points of Water Resistance and gain the Passive Skill Underwater Breathing.】
【Note: I once used this necklace to propose to a mermaid, but she told me that different races cannot marry because I am a merman.】
【Item Name: Merman Horn】
【Item Level: F+】
【Item Effect: Blow the Merman Horn to summon ten F+ Rank Swamp Merman to assist in battle; can only be used once per game.】
【Note: Once the horn sounds, the mermen appear.】
Seeing the information for the Merman Necklace and the Merman Horn, Chu He curled his lips.
To be honest, the value of both the Merman Necklace and the Merman Horn was mediocre.
Although the Merman Necklace increased Water Resistance by 30 points and granted the Underwater Breathing skill, the limitations of this item were too great.
If fighting on land and the enemy could not use Water attribute skills, the attributes of this Merman Necklace would be completely useless.
And the Merman Horn looked decent.
But ten Swamp Merman were truly too weak.
With 30 Health Points, they were simply fragile.
The only advantage was that it could be used once in every game.
In a critical moment, he could at least blow the Merman Horn to summon Swamp Merman to serve as Cannon Fodder.
Overall, this haul could not be considered good, but in certain specific games, it could still produce decent results.
After equipping the Merman Necklace, Chu He opened his Attribute Panel.
【Player: Chu He】
【Player ID: Yuecheng9527】
【Rank: E】
【Talent: DOTA2 Passive Master】
【Skill: Dragon Bloodline LV3, Decay Aura LV2】
【Strength: 8】
【Stamina: 29】
【Agility: 8】
【Spirit: 7】
【Health Points: 290】
【Magic Points: 70】
【Attack: 8】
【Magic Damage: 7】
【Defense: 29+60】
【Magic Resistance: 7】
【Water Resistance: 37】
【Mist Game Count: 3（Complete three more Mist Games to unlock the Promotion Match.）】
【Unused Free Attribute Points: 8】
【Unused Skill Points: 2】
Chu He looked at his Attribute Panel, contemplating how to allocate the eight attribute points.
He had been charmed by Liu Ya earlier precisely because his Spirit was too low, and he had almost fallen for her tricks.
If he hadn't been wearing the Burning Medal and if she hadn't been so close to him, he might have truly been charmed by her.
The consequences would have been unimaginable.
In this Promotion Match, he had also faced life-threatening dangers, and the Water Bullet sprayed by the Swamp Merman had put his life at risk.
He now realized the importance of Spirit.
The higher the Spirit, the better one could resist various abnormal statuses and enhance resistance to all elements.
After long consideration, Chu He added all eight attribute points to Spirit.
In this way, his Negative Status Resistance and overall elemental resistance increased significantly.
"If only I could get another Skill Book and learn a skill to increase Magic Resistance!" Chu He sighed to himself.
However, Skill Books were rare and hard to come by.
He couldn't rush it.
As for the two Skill Points, Chu He thought about it and decided to upgrade each of his two existing skills by one level.
LV4 Dragon Bloodline: restores 40 Health Points per second and increases Defense by 40 points.
LV3 Decay Aura: reduces the attack of enemies within thirty meters by 12%, killing a Normal Enemy grants a 3-point attack bonus, killing an Elite Rank enemy grants a 9-point attack bonus, and killing a BOSS-level enemy increases the attack bonus by 30 points; as for other effects, there were no changes.
Closing the Attribute Panel, Chu He smelled the stench on his body and immediately rode his electric scooter home.
After arriving home, Chu He ran to the bathroom, threw all his clothes and pants into the trash can, and took a comfortable hot shower.
After changing into clean clothes, Chu He sat on the living room sofa and checked the permissions for E-Rank players via his wristwatch.
In addition to trading permissions and creating a Blood Alliance, there were two new functions: one called Designated Assistance and the other called Mist Auction.
The function of Designated Assistance could not be used in the Promotion Match and could only be used in normal games, similar to recruiting dungeon mercenaries.
For example, if Chu He were about to experience a high-difficulty game, he could spend Mist Coin to hire other players to help.
The cost, however, was paying Mist Coin.
But the players who helped would not receive any rewards in the game, only the Mist Coin provided by Chu He.
In Chu He's view, this Designated Assistance function was a trap; unless it was someone with an extremely close relationship, or if a high amount of Mist Coin was offered as a reward, who would risk their life to help a stranger?
Mist Auction opened on the first of every month, and it would contain various rare and precious items, including Skill Books.
But all players E-Rank and above were eligible to purchase, a typical case of the highest bidder winning.
This also made Chu He realize the importance of Mist Coin.
If he could obtain a few Skill Books from the monthly Mist Auction, his Combat Power would soar.
Finally, when E-Rank players played games, they no longer needed to rush to the destination but would be teleported instead.
This way, he wouldn't have to rush over before every game started.
Overall, compared to F-Rank players, E-Rank players had many more permissions.
But the Mist Games he would play in the future would inevitably be more dangerous.
