Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 56: Soar Together? Wedding Items?

Initially, if Teresa and Daphne weren’t both from the sequence base with A-level talents, identified by the human race as having excellent potential, and hadn’t been given special life-saving items, they might already be dead!

That middle-aged man, Mark, was now sporting a grin: “Why are you two ladies so hostile towards me?”

“I had no idea that quest would turn out like that.”

“It was just a dungeon hint that entering the pit with two players would unlock a hidden mechanism. Didn’t you both agree to enter?”

Hearing Mark’s words, Teresa and Daphne were even more furious. At that time, they were just novices, freshly done with their class changes, while Mark was already a level 50 player.

He claimed to have a guide for the dungeon, saying that players who entered the pit could gain extra experience rewards.

The two beauties were fooled, and under the threat of Mark’s level 50 strength, they reluctantly agreed.

Thinking back, they were too naive and too trusting.

“Well, let’s settle both old and new scores together.” Daphne’s eyes reddened as if she was gathering her power.

The human race officially prohibits infighting, but in the wilds and dungeons, it’s common for players to become enemies over interests. The compromise is that base internals are off-limits for such activities. But outside, players can resolve conflicts on their own.

The so-called self-resolution of conflict, that is — start a PK! Only one side can survive.

Suddenly, a figure in white stepped between the confrontational parties: “We’re all colleagues who’ve done quests together. Let’s not fight at a time like this.”

“We should work together to gain more.”

Teresa and Daphne, upon seeing the player in front of them, had their momentum halted.

They knew the person. It was Eric Dane from the No. 113 High-level Base, a renowned solo player who had reached level 70 just two years after awakening his A-level talent!

Moreover, Eric had a high reputation. His A-level talent was said to be among the strongest, hailed as the closest to an S-level talent in recent years among the human race.

Of course, don’t get it wrong. Although the human race is poor, it has a large population. There are one or two S-level talents born every year, and Eric is just the closest to S-level among those with A-level talents.

But this still proved his strength!

Among the participants of this hidden mission, Eric facing a bunch of two-class players is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

In the wild, where players could PK at will.

Teresa and Daphne’s faces turned extremely ugly.If this level 70 two-class player wanted to cause trouble, it would be really difficult for them to resist.

As for why they were sure Eric had ill intentions, the reason was simple. In a situation where Mark was obviously in the wrong, Eric chose to maintain “neutrality”? Wasn’t this already taking sides?

“Let it go. Let it go.” Teresa tugged at Daphne’s sleeve.

Daphne also knew that the situation was against them, begrudgingly nodding: “Let’s not start conflicts during the quest. Let’s complete the mission first.”

“Everyone spent a good amount of contribution points to qualify for this mission.”

However, Daphne, ever impulsive, couldn’t keep her emotions hidden, her face flushing with anger.

She had been eagerly awaiting Sterl’s entrance, ready to watch the drama unfold.

Now, she was completely out of the mood.

Yet, the situation was far from over. Mark, with a smile as warm as a spring breeze, said, “Ladies, I know you have misunderstandings about me. But today, I’m here to offer you something beneficial.”

“It can significantly boost your attributes and grant you an additional skill.”

“Sorry, we’re not interested,” Teresa coldly refused, aware that Mark’s intentions were far from good.

Boost attributes? An additional skill? Wasn’t this the same spiel he used to deceive her into sacrificing herself to a boss earlier?

But then, the young man in white, Eric, shook his head and stepped forward again: “Ladies, you can definitely acquire the attribute boost and the additional skill.”

As he spoke, he revealed an item, a set of rings shimmering in silver-white light, each embedded with tiny diamonds.

[Soar together]

[Category: Wedding Item (Special)]

[Effect: Upon using this item, you can establish a partner relationship with any two players (regardless of gender, with their consent).]

“I’m here today to propose to both of you.”

“As A-level talents, it’s natural for us to join forces and venture together into the [Transcendence].”

“I’ve long admired Miss Teresa and Miss Daphne. What do you say?”

Upon hearing this, Teresa and Daphne hadn’t even reacted before the surrounding onlookers were shocked.

“Marriage? Holy shit! So this was Eric’s plan?”

“So ruthless, so cunning? He’s managed to secure two of the finest from the sequence bases??”

“The strong really can do whatever they want! Eric must be over the moon! Two beauties! Both A-level talents!”

…

The players exchanged looks, a mix of envy and admiration towards Eric.

Impressive! This guy!

In[Transcendence], there’s a marriage system. Unlike in the real world where a ceremony suffices to marry, in the game, forming a couple requires an item known as a wedding ring.

Getting a wedding ring is extremely difficult and expensive. Somehow, Eric not only managed to obtain one but also a special version, Soar together, allowing him to establish a partner relationship with two players at once.

After the wedding ceremony, the couple cannot harm each other and will receive extra attribute bonuses based on the depth of their feelings, alongside a special skill—[Love’s Guard: When both spouses are in combat together, if one receives a fatal blow, the other can take the damage instead. Cooldown: One month.]

For players truly in love, forming a couple is definitely a good thing. But the power of the couple’s effect also means that once married, both parties are bound together!

Eric intends to trap two A-level talent players with a single item!

The families behind Teresa and Daphne from their respective sequence bases wouldn’t step up for them. The marriage would indeed provide real attribute boosts!

As long as Eric isn’t foolish enough to harm Teresa and Daphne himself.

Eric’s move can be described as utterly ruthless and cunning.

No matter how renowned he was, he was just a solo player without any backing. Even with A-level talent, he was still just at level A.

But if the wedding were to be completed, even if Teresa and Daphne were unwilling, their families would likely pressure them into developing feelings for Eric to gain more attributes, eventually making them entirely his.

Moreover, they were now in the wilderness, where Eric held an absolute advantage in strength.

If Teresa and Daphne refused, they would be killed on the spot.

At this moment, Eric’s hand was already glowing with a dark purple light, slowly forming a long-bladed weapon. The threat was unmistakable!

“In your dreams!” Daphne, obviously more temperamental, couldn’t hold back at all.

Her strength was similar to Teresa’s, both at level 60 and preparing for the two-class stage, also planning to use this hidden mission to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Against a player who had completed the two-class and was at level 70, Daphne created an illusion with a wave of her hand, attacking from both sides simultaneously with her real body.

However, Eric didn’t even need to use a skill. With the gap in attributes, he used the dark purple blade in his hand to instantly dispel the illusion.

But the next second, he was stunned.

Daphne’s real body hadn’t intended to attack at all, but had somehow taken out a device at some point, a dark green, melon-shaped structure with rapidly flickering energy light.

The players present were all dumbfounded.

They recognized this thing… It wasn’t a product of Transcendence, but an item developed by the human race of Earth, combining real-world technology.

[Portable Bomb]

[Effect: Causes massive fixed damage to all units in the vicinity, cannot be mitigated, and affects friendly units as well.]

This item wasn’t easy to use.

The massive damage that couldn’t be mitigated was strong. But the manufacturing cost of the [Portable Bomb]was also high, making it not cost-effective for clearing mobs!

For low-level monsters, it was a loss after the explosion, and high-level monsters themselves had more durability than players, making them impossible to kill!

As for using it against bosses? Even more unlikely. Even the weakest boss at level 20 had extremely high durability! A dozen bombs might not be enough to kill it.

But this thing was very powerful against players!

Apart from some special classes, players below level 100 would undoubtedly die if hit by the explosion!

Of course, by taking out this item, Daphne also meant that she was within the blast radius!

Everyone present, including Eric, Mark, the other onlookers, Teresa, and Daphne herself, would all die!

“Wait! Calm down.”

“Aren’t we just discussing?”

Eric, who had been confident and composed, as if he had everything under control, quickly gestured with his hands.
