Chapter 85: The Profound Puppet’s SSS-class Mission

“Back then, a violent explosion occurred in the empire’s Mage Tower, destroying the entire empire. Her Highness the Princess urgently moved us to the Shadow World. After arriving here, I fell into a deep sleep. I don’t know the rest,” Profound Puppet 007 answered truthfully. Then, as if it thought of something, it continued to speak.

“Great descendant of the royal family, please, help me rescue the other three Profound Puppets. This way, we can unseal the remains left behind by Her Highness the Princess.”

As Profound Puppet 007’s voice fell, the system notification rang in Li Cheng’s ears.

“Ding, dong, Profound Puppet 007 has given you the mission, Sealed Remains. Will you accept it?”

Li Cheng hesitated for a moment before choosing to accept the mission in the end.

“Ding, dong, you’ve successfully received the hidden SSS-class mission, Sealed Remains!”

[Sealed Remains]

[Mission description: Profound Puppet 007 requests that you activate the other three Legendary-grade puppets. This way, you can activate the remains left behind by the Profound Empire’s princess.]

[Mission Nature: only hidden]

[Mission difficulty: 1.3 billion]

[Mission content: activate the designated Profound Puppets and find the unknown remains]

[Mission reward: 10,000,000 gold coins, Profound Puppet recruitment authority, 50,000,000 shadow points]

[Hint: the other Profound Puppets are scattered in extremely dangerous areas of the Shadow World. Please, proceed with caution!]

After reading the mission information, Li Cheng’s eyes could not help but light up. The reward for this mission was very generous. Just the shadow points alone were 50 million. What was even more terrifying was that he could obtain the recruitment authority of the Profound Puppets!

One should know that the Profound Puppets were the same as the Frost Dragons. As Li Cheng’s territory developed, he would need some Meat Shield soldiers. And that time, the Profound Puppets would be the most suitable for that role.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng closed the mission panel. Then, the body of Profound Puppet 007 started to dim as its voice sounded extremely weak. “Great descendant of the royal family, I look forward to your good news…”

As its voice fell, its huge body also fell weakly to the ground. Of course, it did not die. It merely entered a special energy-efficient state. This was also one of the main reasons why it could survive from the collapse of the empire until now.

Li Cheng took a deep breath. According to Profound Puppet 007, he marked a few new locations on the map and handed them to Lillian. “What’s so special about these locations?”

After looking at the locations, Lillian frowned. “The nest of the Winged Night Shade, the camp of the Plane Bandits, and the last one’s the underground city built by the Demons.”

Hearing this, Li Cheng’s mouth twitched involuntarily. He was a little speechless. There was not a single good place in those three locations.

The Winged Night Shade was a level eight flying-type soldier that was extremely difficult to deal with. However, this place was the easiest out of the three places.

From the name alone, one could tell that the Plane Bandits was a bandit group that traveled in different planes. If one were to think about it, to be able to rob different planes without getting caught signified that their strength was incomparably strong.

The last place was the one that surprised Li Cheng the most. Demons were the most powerful enemies of the good faction. Generally speaking, they lived in the Bottomless Abyss, a city built by demons whereby its defense was naturally extremely tight.

If they were to forcefully attack it, even Li Cheng would have to pay a heavy price. Thinking of this, Li Cheng understood why the Shadow Dragon wanted to get rid of those evil forces.

Closing the map, Li Cheng did not intend to act immediately. Those three locations were quite far away. Even with Lillian’s guidance, it would still take a few hours.

Also, once the event officially started, there would be all kinds of special events that provided all kinds of buffs. At that time, Li Cheng’s combat power could be increased again, so Li Cheng was not in a hurry to act now.

He opened the shop’s interface. He had killed dozens of Profound Puppets and his points were close to 300 billion, so he did not hesitate to buy all kinds of items that were listed.

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed eighty billion shadow points and successfully purchased the Shadow Assassin…

“Ding, dong, due to your current location, this purchase has been replaced with the Shadow Assassins’ Recruitment Authority!

“Ding, dong, you’ve unlocked a new building, Shadow Sanctuary!

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed eighty billion shadow points and successfully purchased the Mythical-grade Phantom Pearl!

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed eight billion shadow points and successfully purchased a thousand Legendary-grade Supreme Life Potion!

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed eight billion shadow points and successfully purchased…

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed eight billion shadow points…

“Ding, dong, due to the number of shadow points you’ve consumed, your Legendary-grade title, Extravagant Spender, has been upgraded to the Mythical-grade title, God Descent!”

After a wave of purchases, the words ‘sold out’ appeared on many items in the shop.

Without a doubt, Li Cheng’s style of emptying the shop was still the same. His shadow points had also gone from nearly 300 billion to a little over 50 billion.

He opened his backpack and checked the attributes of the various consumable items.

[Speed Scroll]

[Level: 1]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Effect: after use, all units within 2,000 yards will have their movement speed increased by 500% for 1 hour.]

[Cooldown time: 1 hour]

[Supreme Life Potion]

[Level: 1]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Effect: after use, all units within 2,000 yards will recover 1,000,000 HP]

[Cooldown: 5 minutes]

[Supreme Encouragement Scroll]

[Level: 1]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Effect: After use, the morale of all units within 2,000 yards will maintain at full capacity for 1 hour.]

[Cooldown: 1 hour]

These three potions were all practical at full capacity. The Speed Scroll could provide an hour of acceleration, increasing the user’s speed by five times. If Lillian’s Shadow March was added into the equation and paired with Li Cheng’s current Holy War buff, it could be described as flying when running.

The Supreme Life Potion was one of the top-tier AOE Recovery Potions. It could recover 1,000,000 HP of all units within 2,000 yards at a time. In other words, other than the Meat Shield soldiers, 1,000,000 HP could be recovered instantly.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Encouragement Scroll could forcefully boost the morale of the troops. This could be said to be extremely abnormal. As long as this scroll was used, even the cowardly gnomes would not be afraid of death!

However, this scroll was not that significant to Li Cheng. His troops were all extremely elite. Regardless of what kind of troops they were, their morale was extremely high. Among the three troops, there would be no signs of them fleeing even if they fought to the very last unit.

At the same time, the Legendary Speed Scroll and the Supreme Encouragement Scroll had the same cooldown period. In other words, if one had enough of them, one could keep using them!
