Chapter 6: A String of Good Fortune for Dogs

  The male voice sounded again.

  "Player Zhang Haogu's wisdom has reached its maximum value. From now on, learning skills will no longer be restricted by levels. The system rewards 300 super-bound attribute points."

  With this motivation, my work naturally became what everyone expected, with luck, charm and foundation all maxed out.

  After luck reaches its maximum value, I will have an 80% chance of getting help from the task NPC when doing tasks later; after charm reaches its maximum value, system rewards will have an 80% chance of doubling later; after root bone reaches its maximum value, I will have an 80% chance of directly upgrading skills to the highest level later. In addition, after luck reaches its maximum value, I get 600 attribute points, after charm reaches its maximum value, I get 1800 attribute points, and after root bone reaches its maximum value, I get 7200 attribute points.

  As all four core attributes have reached their maximum values, the system rewarded me with a doubling of all my hidden and visible attribute values. Due to the double reward relationship, all hidden and visible attributes were doubled again. However, among the hidden attributes, my moral value had already reached its peak, so the system compensated me by giving me the ability to modify my moral value at will. After the double reward, I also gained the ability to modify my reputation value at will.

  When I reopened the attribute panel, I found that all visible attributes had become 4, and all hidden attributes except for morality had also become 404. What made me even happier was that since I could modify my reputation value at will, my reputation value could be instantly maxed out. The only thing that wasn't satisfying was that because my morality value was already maxed out, modifying it seemed to have little significance. However, this was just my current thinking, and later on, I realized that modifying morality didn't necessarily mean making it bigger; sometimes you need to make it smaller, and this reward was still very useful.

  As expected, behind the moral and reputation values in the hidden attributes, I saw two "modify" buttons. After clicking on the button behind the reputation value, a familiar panel popped up in front of me, and it was easy to find the "Max" button, then click "OK". My reputation value reached 5000000. It turns out that the maximum values for moral and reputation are different. This made me a bit careful, I need to plan carefully when adding attribute points later.

  After the reputation value reached its maximum, the system rewarded me with an opportunity to learn a hidden profession and 10,000 super-bound attribute points. After doubling the reward, I got another chance to learn a hidden profession and 10,000 super-bound attribute points. At the same time, because I already had two hidden attributes at their peak, after the double reward, I can increase the two hidden attributes to half of their maximum value.

  I'm completely hooked on this game. It's literally a crash course for experts. I guarantee that by tonight, before I go to sleep, I'll become the number one player in this game, and no one will ever be able to catch up with me again.

  "This will disrupt the balance of the game." I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

  The voice of the toy pig came again: "This is not a destruction of balance, your coincidence is too much, this is something that the game designer did not anticipate. Moreover, the game designer and operator had also considered whether there would be some kind of coincidental situation that would allow an absolute top player to emerge in an instant, and finally everyone thought that as long as the player could unintentionally trigger these hidden tasks, it was completely worth letting him become such an absolute top player."

  I nodded thoughtfully, closed and reopened my attribute panel. Now, except for the attributes of morality and reputation, a button "Increase to half of the maximum value" appeared behind insight, ability, temperament, politics, economy, technology, and article.

  At this time I found another problem, it turned out that there was no button behind this attribute of knowledge.

  I nodded thoughtfully after a long while: "My life has its limits, but knowledge knows no bounds."

  What I didn't expect was that saying a couple of words could also bring about that male voice:

  "System Announcement: Player Zhang Haogu has recited a sentence from 'Zhuangzi', triggering the hidden quest 'The Ancient One Arrives'. Special NPC Zhuangzi has entered the game."

  After the system announcement, as usual, there were rewards. After doubling, I got a total of two chances to learn hidden occupations and rewards that increased two hidden attributes to their maximum value by half. Because the chance to learn hidden occupations had exceeded five, after the double reward, I also got two chances to synthesize hidden occupations and two opportunities to create new roles.

  "I forgot to tell you, since your luck has reached its maximum value, it was inevitable that you would get all this. In this game, similarly, almost only one player like you has the opportunity to directly increase their luck to the maximum value." The toy pig seemed to understand my thoughts and continued to explain to me.

  "What does it mean to establish a new role?" Now that the toy pig can talk, I'm not going to let go of this opportunity to ask questions.

  "In other words, you can create another character, and the two characters can be active in the game at the same time. However, the new character, except for when it's created and you can distribute unused items and benefits to it, will not receive any help from the original character except for exchangeable items."

  "What a terrible day, and this game still has such a perverted function." I muttered.

  "It's not easy for an ordinary player to get such an opportunity, and now you have two of them. I hope you can make the most of it." This toy pig really knows everything.

  But now ordinary players should have been boiling. The game has been played for less than an hour, and a special NPC has already entered the game. Although it was Zhang Haogu, who had been unlucky from the start, who triggered this hidden task, it's not surprising, but it's indeed sensational. Because this should be a huge selling point in the later stages of the "Three Kingdoms Era" game, and being dug out so early is enough to make the operator angry. Moreover, players now have a goal to find Zhuangzi and learn something.

  I suddenly thought that if reciting Zhuangzi's sentences can summon Zhuangzi, then can I recite someone else's sentences to summon the next special NPC?

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "The way that can be spoken is not the eternal way."

  Toy pig haha laughed: "After you summoned Zhuangzi, more than 3,000 people have tried this. In fact, from the moment Zhuangzi was summoned, this method has been invalid. To summon new special NPCs, other triggering conditions are needed."

  I couldn't help but smile foolishly for a moment. Well, I'd better continue with my work then.

  I will add half of my four greatest values to insight, ability, temperament and politics. Because I intuitively feel that these aspects may have a greater impact on me. After all, I am going to find Zhuge Liang, and what Zhuge Liang appreciates the most should still be these few aspects.

  The current processing system rewards attribute points.

  The original attribute points had a surplus after adding morality, and then the system rewarded 200,000 more points. Later, Zero Star also rewarded more than 30,000 points. How should these 230,000+ points be added?

  I suddenly thought that I still don't know what the maximum value of special attributes is, and the two skill books I got also seem to have requirements for special attributes. So I'll just add some special attributes first. As a result, it was beyond my expectation again, the maximum value of special attributes is also 100, just like core attributes. This makes things much simpler, I only used 672 points and all special attributes are maxed out again.

  During this time, there were many system messages, and it would be too much to write them all down. So I'll just give a brief introduction. When I reached the top of Seeking Knowledge, the system told me that the growth speed of all explicit attributes except special attributes would increase by 50%. After doubling, they would increase again on the new basis. And when Thinking, Discovery, and Creation each reached the top, the growth speed of those attributes mentioned earlier would increase again on the new basis, which means that after all the double rewards, the growth speed had already reached 256 times the original. Arithmetic and Eloquence only accelerated the growth speed of Battle, Governance, and Life twice, while Language only accelerated the growth speed of Governance and Life. In other words, from now on, my Battle attribute growth speed will be increased to 4096 times the original, while my Governance and Life attribute growth speeds will be increased to 16384 times the original. Of course, aside from this, there were also a total of 80,000 super-bound attribute points as rewards.

  I have remembered the 80,000 attribute point reward method firmly. Because this reward method is the same as core attributes, it gradually increases. The only difference is that the first five special attributes to the top only have a 20-point reward, the sixth one suddenly increases to 4,900, and the last one increases wildly to 75,000. For other players, it's very difficult to discover this secret.
