Chapter 2463 Leveling Up
"Huh?"
Fang Heng was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained his composure.
No wonder Old Black mentioned that the demands from these two were not high at all.
It was indeed quite simple.
There was no need for skill books or anything of the sort.
With subordinates of Duke and Prince levels in the vampire hierarchy, the inheritance process was guaranteed to be 100% successful.
After completing the inheritance, they would start with the elementary vampire bloodline.
However, this ability had a monthly usage limit.
Moreover, as a King, Fang Heng also possessed this ability.
The process of inheritance required biting and leaving an imprint, which Fang Heng found somewhat repulsive, so he had never used it.
"You"ve already learned other academic disciplines, and you still want to start from scratch with the vampire bloodline?"
"Yes."
The two were resolute in their decision.
Among the vast number of players, they felt utterly useless despite learning mid-tier Mysticism and Astrology!
If they could switch to the vampire bloodline...
They would be willing to restart their accounts!
Historically, the vampire bloodline had been extremely rare. But recently, with the infusion of dimensional energy, its value skyrocketed hundreds of times in just a few days!
Many players were desperately seeking ways to join the Federation-controlled vampire worlds and obtain the vampire bloodline.
But those who succeeded were few and far between.
Some players had noticed that the mission lines for obtaining the bloodline inheritance through NPCs had gradually disappeared.
Acquiring the vampire bloodline was now nearly impossible.
Outside, the price of a vampire bloodline skill book had reached astronomical heights, yet the demand remained insatiable.
It was rumored that obtaining the vampire bloodline, combined with any other mastered academic skill, would instantly boost a player"s combat power two to three times!
From an ordinary player to an elite player in an instant.
What players didn"t know was that this was still within Fang Heng"s controlled dimensional level cap.
Once that cap was unlocked, a player"s strength would soar by more than tenfold.
"Alright," Fang Heng said, nodding. "I"ll grant you access to the Vampire Apocalypse. Once you enter, head to the Vampire Elder Council and provide your names. They will arrange for your vampire inheritance."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang!"
Hearing Fang Heng"s agreement, Su Yi felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders. Both he and Xu Chengcheng expressed their grat.i.tude and promptly shared their tips for efficiently gaining academic skill experience with Fang Heng.
Fang Heng listened carefully.
It was straightforward enough—essentially using game mechanics to grind for experience. It wasn"t a loophole but did require additional materials. However, at the elementary stage, these materials were not too advanced.
"I understand."
Fang Heng nodded, then controlled several Lickers from a distance to quickly crawl through the window, rapidly converting them into flesh coc.o.o.ns, which then formed into normal zombie forms for skill experience testing.
He needed to grasp the details first before proceeding with bulk experience grinding.
Seeing this, Su Yi and Xu Chengcheng looked on with increasing curiosity.
Using zombies to a.s.sist with experience grinding? Was that even a thing?
Then, they watched as the zombie clones attempted an astrology reading.
As expected, it failed.
The crystal ball flickered a few times and then showed no response.
[Hint: The player"s zombie clone (normal form) failed the astrology reading. The player gained 28 experience points in Basic Astrology and a 0.000005 increase in Astrology talent.]
Excellent!
Even if he failed, there were experience points to be gained!
Fang Heng felt rea.s.sured.
Astrology was the simplest. Once he returned, he could just purchase a batch of crystal b.a.l.l.s and start grinding right away!
"Um..."
Xu Chengcheng had thought that using summoned creatures to grind levels had completely failed. He was about to suggest something when he noticed Fang Heng"s indifference. He quickly shifted to asking about elemental science, falling silent.
According to Su Yi, practicing elemental science generally required using special elemental stones for basic elemental summoning to grind levels quickly.
Several zombie clones wobbled their way to the water-elemental stone.
They concentrated for a moment.
Without exception, all attempts failed.
Xu Chengcheng and Su Yi exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
Indeed, grinding levels using summoned creatures proved to be quite challenging.
However, they didn"t know that Fang Heng"s zombie creatures were not just simple summons but clones!
Even when they failed, they still earned experience points!
[Hint: The player"s zombie clone"s (normal form) attempt to summon a water element (foundation) failed. The player gains 11 experience points in Basic Elemental Science. The player gains 0.0001 elemental science talent.]
[Hint: The player"s zombie...].
Fang Heng watched as the game hints continuously popped up and felt more confident.
As he pondered how to further improve efficiency, Su Yi suddenly showed a change in expression and said, "Mr. Fang, Old Black just contacted me through the game"s survival point saying there"s an urgent matter he needs to discuss with you. He hopes you can return to Zombie Apocalypse as soon as possible if you have the time."
Old Black? What urgent situation could it be?
Fang Heng suddenly had a bad premonition.
Well, with the three skill grinding methods in place, leveling up shouldn"t be a major issue.
He decided to return and check it out.
Fang Heng looked up and said, "Alright, if that"s the case, we"ll end it here for today. Please help me contact Old Black. I"ll head back immediately. Also, let"s add each other as friends so we can stay in touch if needed."
"Sure, of course..."
Fang Heng exchanged friend requests with the two and quickly returned to Zombie Apocalypse.
...
In the Zombie Apocalypse, Old Black was waiting at the teleportation pa.s.sage entrance.
As Fang Heng emerged from the teleportation pa.s.sage, Old Black stepped forward, waving and signaling.
They had met through the Zombie Apocalypse and had seen Fang Heng rise through the ranks from the beginning. Old Black never expected Fang Heng to exceed his expectations so quickly.
Old Black greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Fang, it looks like your trip went well."
"Thanks to you. The people you recommended were quite reliable," Fang Heng said with a grin. He then became serious and asked, "Old Black, what"s the urgent matter?"
"Bai Mu saw the message you left him, but he"s currently unavailable, so he asked me to relay a few things," Old Black said, shrugging. "He mentioned he recently went to the White Abyss."
"What did you say?"
Fang Heng"s heart skipped a beat. "They"ve already gone to the White Abyss?"
"Yes. It was a rare opportunity because they found a chance when the "demonic seed" wasn"t there. They went suddenly. At the time, you were still dealing with the Holy Realm"s pursuit and couldn"t be reached. But I"ve heard they"ve encountered a bit of trouble."
Old Black looked at Fang Heng with a sly grin and asked, "So, are you interested in the White Abyss?"
