Chapter 400: Return, Personal Panel Glitch
Chapter 400: Return, Personal Panel Glitch
[You have completed the main mission and received the Lord Skill: Attack Enhancement]
[You have completed the main mission and received an evaluation: SSS]
[Based on your evaluation, you have received the following rewards]
[1. 10 Special Building Blueprints × 10]
[2. 4 Types of Special Resources × 1,000,000 Units]
[3. 10 Rare-Level Building Blueprints × 10]
[4. 5 Epic-Level Building Blueprints × 5]
[5. 20 High-Grade Treasures × 20]
[6. 1 Self-Selected Lord Talent (Occupational Type)]
[7. 5 Profession Slot Expansion Scrolls]
[8. 100,000,000 Gold Coins]
[9. 5 Talent Ascension Coupons]
[10. 1 Self-Selected Epic-Level Job Change Voucher]
Qin Muye looked at the mission rewards with a slightly surprised expression. He found that the rewards had actually improved, especially the addition of the self-selected occupational lord talent, which was a pleasant surprise.
Unfortunately, the self-selected lord talent was not randomly generated, and the originally self-selected rare-level occupation had become an epic-level one.
If it were before everyone had reached the epic level, Qin Muye would have been overjoyed. Unfortunately, he was no longer concerned about it, as he had already achieved the epic level for everyone.
"Use all the profession slot expansion scrolls to become a physiologist, medical scientist, psychiatrist, geneticist, and virologist."
"Hmm? Something seems off?"
After completing the professions he had exchanged in the Tianwang Era timeline, Qin Muye was about to use the self-selected occupational lord talent when he noticed something strange—his personal panel had glitched.
Whether it was attributes, skills, or talents, everything was a mess of incomprehensible characters and symbols.
Not only that, but the lord advancement mission also appeared glitched.
"Has Lord Era crashed???"
Quickly, Qin Muye confirmed that Lord Era had not crashed, but his personal panel had a problem, as if it couldn't detect him anymore.
He first selected the "Diligence as the Path" talent from the self-selected occupational lord talents.
[Diligence as the Path: For every additional 10% experience gained, (Level × 1000) magic points are added to the maximum magic point limit]
"I can clearly feel the increase in magic power, but the attributes are messed up, and the advancement mission is no longer working," Qin Muye was at a loss.
Under normal circumstances, he should have already reached level 6 and received the rewards, but the rewards didn't come, and the mission was broken.
He then tried using the talent ascension coupon, but there was no response.
"Strange? The profession slot expansion scrolls work, and the self-selected talents can load, but why is the talent ascension coupon not working?"
Qin Muye was confused; this was not good news.
After all, each talent ascension was a significant transformation for him.
When he checked the lord advancement mission again, he found a huge bug.
The requirement for the lord to reach level 60 was also glitched, turning into a mess of strange symbols.
"Why did the enemy kill count, the one-time destruction of a million enemies, and the 70% prestige completion reset to zero in my lord advancement mission???"
"Is it because of the glitch causing a refresh?"
Since the other conditions were hard requirements, they did not reset.
"Is Lord Era so unreliable? Or am I just too unusual?"
Qin Muye quickly identified the culprit; it was likely because he had devoured the world.
Although it appeared that the Endless Abyss had devoured the Secret Martial World, it was actually him. As a result, Lord Era had identified his identity.
Because of his actions, he was both identified as a lord and a dungeon, leading to a logical breakdown and system crash. In other words, he had already freed himself from Lord Era by half. Once he fully took control of his territory, he would be completely free from Lord Era.
Currently, there were both advantages and disadvantages.
Firstly, without the lord rank system, Qin Muye lost a lot of rewards, such as the divine talents and additional bonuses at level 6, as well as talent ascensions. Without this quick method, Qin Muye would have to research it himself, which would take a significant amount of time.
However, there were also benefits. Not receiving benefits from the lord rank system meant he was no longer bound by it. The Lord Era panel he was seeing was not his but that of his Endless Abyss territory.
If he did not have a near-integral relationship with the Endless Abyss, he wouldn't even be able to see this panel. Since the Endless Abyss was still under Lord Era's control, Qin Muye, as a part of the same fate, was indirectly bound to it.
If it were a regular lord, they could simply bite the bullet and abandon their territory to gain freedom.
"From what I can see, the benefits seem to outweigh the drawbacks?"
He did indeed lose a lot of rewards, but the abilities granted by his talents did not disappear. This indicated that the talents given to him by Lord Era were inherently his own; otherwise, they would have vanished as well.
For example, his Master-level Reconnaissance Skill had already become ineffective, clearly indicating that some skills were borrowed from Lord Era itself.
"The occupational and talent systems seem to have many issues. Currently, I can still learn and supplement, but these effects are indirectly achieved through the territory."
Qin Muye's eyes narrowed. If he were to devour another world, these effects would likely become ineffective.
For his former self, this would have been a worrying sign, but for his current self, it meant he was becoming even stronger.
When the entire lord system became ineffective for him, that would be the day of true liberation.
"However, at the moment, my strength should be around level 8. Level 9 would be much harder to achieve."
He had some guesses about level 9. It would likely require a world-class existence, such as God, Chaos Khaos, and other entities representing the will of the world.
"The Endless Abyss is transforming into a true world. The outer layer has already completely turned into a true world barrier, and the Abyss Layers, Dream Realms, and others have grown further. Only the core remains largely unchanged."
"I wonder if my territory can still advance."
Since one of the requirements for the lord level was glitched, Qin Muye currently had no certainty.
The rest was manageable. He needed one more territory trait out of five, and the conditions of unification, slaughter, blood sacrifice, and prestige were not too difficult to complete. After all, it just required killing.
At least for now, that was the case. The main issue was that the unification, slaughter, and prestige requirements had been reset. Otherwise, they would have been completed long ago. Fortunately, the requirement to destroy a world in the moral alignment system was not reset, or he would have had to devour another world.
Fortunately, it was not too difficult to complete again.
The territory trait might be a bit challenging, requiring Qin Muye to either complete a world-ending crisis or develop one himself.
Under normal circumstances, he would prefer to develop and artificially create one, but the remaining two crises in the Mage Dynasty server would not give him enough time.
"Thinking about it, Lord Era has its benefits. At least it sends me to various worlds." Qin Muye wanted to break free from Lord Era, but he could not deny that the greatest benefit Lord Era had given him was not the talents or skills, but the random dungeon scrolls and server transfer vouchers.
No matter how vast a world was, it could not support an individual surpassing it. Only by gathering the resources of multiple worlds could one become stronger.
It was like a potted plant; no matter how large the pot, there was a limit.
Activities could make a territory grow quickly, but Qin Muye's strength did not come from leveling up by killing monsters. He had done that only a few times, mostly relying on his own efforts at home.
"Indeed, strategic magic has also become ineffective. The rule-level empowerment is itself a part of the lord system." Qin Muye tried to use magic, but it failed to respond, unless he cast it himself.
In a way, he was now just like the original inhabitants of the server.
"Tsk, a bit of a shame."
Losing Lord Era's lord rewards was a minor issue. After all, he had to think long-term; he could not keep working for Lord Era forever.
"But to be honest, the main subject of the activities is the territory, not the lord. That's a bit excessive."
Qin Muye looked at the functions that had not failed, such as activities and the inventory, and found it a bit peculiar.
The inventory could still be opened, but it had an issue: items could only be taken out, not stored. Of course, rewards went directly into the inventory, but it could no longer function as a storage space.
Fortunately, Qin Muye did not mind these things. After all, for him, it was just a storage space. He could easily create one in his shadow, which was no big deal, considering the goblin's shadow space could even store mech-level machines.
"Wait, will the random dungeon scrolls still work for me? After all, the main subject of these might be me, not the territory?"
