Although he didn't know what Sauron wanted to talk to him, this didn't prevent Wu Ming from agreeing first.
Wu Ming's handling style for these favored people is very simple: be friendly with them if they can be friends with them, ignore those with whom he cannot be friends, and just keep a decent face.
He doesn't have a bad feeling towards geniuses, but he doesn't think these people are worthy of attention either.
Potential is always just potential. Before it is transformed into absolute strength, it is basically impossible to impress Wu Ming. Even Green, the protagonist of this world, has never been truly taken seriously by Wu Ming.
"Congratulations to you, the final winners of the ranking competition. On behalf of the royal family and the nobility, I look forward to your performance in the Magic Empire."
The game was over, and His Majesty St. George cordially received all the players.
Wu Ming, as the number one player, was the one Hanxu asked about, and he was also the focus of countless viewers.
Talking about some meaningless words and listening to an old man talking in my ear, this feeling is really not good.
After all, he is not from the Holy Light Empire. It is basically impossible for him to have awe of the imperial power. Therefore, King St. George's courtesy corporal is boring to him. If not, there are gifts.
Take it, he can't stand listening anymore.
"Come, give our heroes the awards they deserve." The long speech ended, and finally it was time to award the awards.
Wu Ming suddenly became interested and looked at the ten female officials with great interest as they walked up holding gift boxes.
These gift boxes range from big to small, long or short. At first glance, the gift boxes in the bottom five are actually bigger.
Starting from the tenth place at the end, the beautiful palace ladies awarded awards to the contestants one by one.
On the side, King St. George smiled and nodded encouragingly to these people, indicating that everyone could open it and take a look.
"Click!" Someone couldn't help but opened the gift box at the king's signal.
At first glance, I saw that the rewards for the bottom five were all enchanted magic weapons, corresponding to the occupations of the five people.
Seeing the amazing rewards, the players were all overjoyed, and even Wu Ming was slightly moved.
You must know that magic weapons are not street products. They have a nickname, also called quasi-legendary weapons. Compared with real legendary weapons, quasi-legendary weapons do not lack power, but lack powerful users. There are also epic legends
opportunity to appear.
Once mastered by heroic beings and legends spread, these weapons will instantly become legendary and become powerful weapons sought after by professionals all over the world.
"A magic weapon, even if it is cheap, costs about three to five million gold coins. Those that can be given out by the royal family as rewards are all high-quality magic weapons. Even low-level nobles can use them as weapons if they get them.
The family's inherited treasure has been passed down from generation to generation. In terms of price alone, these five magic weapons add up to less than three million gold coins. Don't even think about it. The price is enough to bankrupt a powerful earl. Only the royal family can do this.
It’s his own handiwork.”
After all, for a count who owns a fiefdom, even if he spends millions of gold coins without going bankrupt, it will break his bones at least.
If you switch to a lower-level Viscount family, not to mention five magic weapons, even one may not be able to buy it even if you spend all your wealth. At the very least, the Percival family that Wu Ming knows has no inheritance of magic weapons and no family wealth.
There are at most one or two hundred thousand gold coins, which is not even close to the threshold for purchasing magic weapons.
Looking at the smiling winners, Wu Ming slowly withdrew his gaze.
There are such rewards for the bottom five. What should the rewards for the top five be? It can't be worse than magic weapons.
With this kind of doubt, everyone in the top five, led by Wu Ming, was a little impatient.
Soon, the female officer holding the gift box handed the box to everyone. This was the moment when the answer was revealed.
"The secret skill of the royal family, Tenglong swordsmanship!"
"Exclusive special skill, shadow clone technique!"
When the box is opened, except for Wu Ming, the top five are all secret skills and exclusive special skills.
Among them, the Tenglong swordsmanship is somewhat similar to the Parcival family swordsmanship that Wu Ming has learned. If you practice it to a high level, you can improve your own attributes.
Wu Ming learned the swordsmanship of the Parcival family, and after mastering it, its attributes increased to 0.5, which is considered the lowest inherited secret skill among the nobles.
Tenglong Swordsmanship is one of the top secret skills. The attribute points that can be improved by practicing it to a great level are no less than improving a professional level. This is the trump card for geniuses to cross-level challenges.
"Similar to this top-level secret skill, as long as you practice two or three to perfection, it is normal to fight across two levels. Prince Lionheart can become a top genius and fight against stronger ones across two levels, probably because of practicing these secret skills.
"
Fighting across levels is the division between geniuses and ordinary people, and this division is not without shortcuts.
A top-level secret skill can increase the attribute value enough to make up for the gap of one level. This is the confidence to fight across levels.
Of course, although the top secret skills are good, if you are not a real noble, you will not be able to access this level at all.
Similarly, the time it takes to practice top secret techniques is not a small number. The reason why the world of gods is a world of gods and nobles is because only great nobles can let their family disciples practice a certain secret technique from an early age.
After the year, he will reach the state of Dacheng.
In this way, for the heirs of great nobles, it is normal to fight across one level. Commoners will never lose at the starting line, but they will be at the finish line when they are born.
It's like a tortoise and a hare race. Except for a few who are asleep, no matter how hard the tortoise crawls, it can't stop the hare's slight jump.
In this way, the strong will become stronger and the weak will become weaker. Unless a few step on shit, the strong will always be in the hands of the upper class nobles. Not only will the gap not narrow, but it will widen due to the law of the jungle.
"What a generous move. No wonder this competition is only open to nobles. Common people can only participate with the recommendation of the nobles. This is like the ancient nine-level Zhongzheng system. If you want to be an official, you must be recommended by the gentry. Only by becoming a gentry can you be recommended.
You have this qualification only if you are a member of the nobles. The same is true for this competition. You cannot be recommended by the nobles, and you are not even qualified to register. If you do not choose to join in the conspiracy and enter the interest level of the nobles, you cannot even enter the gate of the competition venue.
, that’s nonsense!”
Wu Ming had a deeper understanding of the structure of the world of gods, and was also curious about what his reward would be.
He has already seen that starting from the tenth place, the rewards are higher. The same is true for the top five. Compared with the fourth place, the reward for the fifth place is obviously weaker, and the fourth place is similar to the top three.
The same is true for Bi.
The Shadow Clone Technique obtained by Sauron and the Tenglong Sword Technique obtained by the Son of Light are obviously much stronger than those behind him.
Wu Ming has reason to believe that when he reaches the first place, his reward should be higher than that of the second place. The reason is that Wu Ming has no second place.
"Click!" With a crisp sound, the jade box was opened by Wu Ming, and a burst of fragrance suddenly hit his face.
Before Wu Ming could see it clearly, other people around him exclaimed in surprise: "It's ice marrow. According to legend, swallowing ice marrow can improve one's own attributes and gain ice resistance!
"
"Ice marrow?" Wu Ming turned around slightly and saw who was speaking.
Among the many contestants present, Eric, the grand duke's heir, is definitely one of the most well-informed people.
Moreover, looking at the look in the eyes of the Son of Holy Light, who wants to swallow him, I am afraid that the reward for the first place is definitely not comparable to that of the second place.
"What are you looking at?" Wu Ming glanced at the Son of Holy Light and didn't like the look in his eyes.
The Holy Son of Light was not really short-sighted. He knew that he was no match for Wu Ming, so he snorted and turned his head away. After all, he was not like the middle-class boy who just looked at you and then started directly.
Seeing that the Holy Son of Light didn't scream, Wu Ming didn't care and reached out to pick up the ice marrow.
The ice marrow didn't look big, just the size of a fingernail, and it was giving off the slightest bit of chill.
Wu Ming hesitated for a moment, picked up the ice marrow, put it into his mouth, and took a bite like eating fruit.
cold
The moment he bit the ice marrow, Wu Ming shivered violently, and a layer of frost instantly formed on his face.
The next second, the battle panel began to display crazy attributes, and special prompts began to massacre.
"Didi: Swallow ten thousand years of ice marrow, ice resistance +1"
"Didi: Swallow ten thousand years of ice marrow, ice resistance +1"
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen prompts were refreshed, and the so-called ice resistance was improved by a full 16 points.
Moreover, this is not the end. While improving his ice resistance, his four major options of strength, physique, speed, and spirit have also improved by leaps and bounds.
"Didi: Swallow ten thousand years of ice marrow, strength +3, constitution +3, speed +3, spirit +3."
