Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor
Chapter 105 - 39: Advancing to Hero

Chapter 105: Chapter 39: Advancing to Hero

Lundestadte’s summary is spot on. Battle strategy emphasize one’s strengths and avoid weaknesses, attacking the enemy’s flaws.

But all of this is meaningless when it comes to the Mirror Image. It knows everything you know, and all your traits are fully enhanced in it.

It’s like a MOBA game where two identical heroes face off; you’re a newbie player just getting into the game, while your opponent is a top-level pro who has battled in arenas for years. Even more infuriating is that your hero is level one with no gear, while the opponent’s hero is level twenty-five and fully equipped with six items.

In a fair competition without any external interference, winning is as hard as ascending to the heavens.

Lundestadte asked, "Lord, have you thought of a way to win against him?"

Lin Rui nodded calmly, "I have."

Lundestadte was utterly incredulous. In such a situation, how could one defeat the enemy? Humbly, he asked, "Lord, I really can’t imagine, what do you plan to rely on to win?"

"Love."

"Huh?"

"Love! The most beautiful and romantic sentiment in the world, understand?"

Lundestadte was completely dumbfounded, staring with wide eyes: "Lord, you must be joking? This isn’t a romance novel, love won’t grant you strength."

"Who says?" Lin Rui raised an eyebrow, "Do you know what the biggest difference between me and that Mirror Image is?"

Lundestadte hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Could it be love?"

Lin Rui’s eyes were full of approval, "You’re on the right track. That cold and unfeeling Mirror Image, clearly no one cares for or loves it. But I’m different, I’m beloved by everyone and favored by the Divine, especially admired by a certain Goddess."

"Lord, there’s no need for ’a certain.’ Everyone in the realm knows which Goddess it is. After all, you’ve built the Monastery."

"Haha, well, that Mirror Image may have all my traits, but there’s one thing it doesn’t have: the genuine favor of the Goddess. In terms of raw strength, I’m not as good as it. But when it comes to the affection of the divine, I’m unmatched! Come on, let me take you to the Goddess Pendulum, let you see what it means to be a man admired by a Goddess."

Next to the Goddess Pendulum, Lin Rui took out his trump card for defeating the enemy—a Skill Book, "Multiple Casting"

[Multiple Casting lv1: Allows Magic Chanters to use their Spiritual Energy more quickly and effectively, with a 25% chance to cast twice.]

[Ding, enhance the Skill Book "Multiple Casting," consuming 1000 Realm Coins, 1000 food, 1000 stone ores, 1000 iron ores, 1000 wood, 100 Gems, success rate 100%, enhance?]

[Ding, second enhancement of the Skill Book "Multiple Casting," consuming 5000 Realm Coins, 5000 food, 5000 stone ores, 5000 iron ores, 5000 wood, 500 Gems, success rate 50%, enhance?]

[Ding, third enhancement of the Skill Book "Multiple Casting," consuming 10000 Realm Coins, 10000 food, 10000 stone ores, 10000 iron ores, 10000 wood, 1000 Gems, success rate 25%, enhance?]

[Ding, fourth enhancement of the Skill Book "Multiple Casting," consuming 50000 Realm Coins, 50000 food, 50000 stone ores, 50000 iron ores, 50000 wood, 5000 Gems, success rate 10%, enhance?]

After each golden flash, Audrey’s jaw fell open wide enough to swallow an egg, and she protested, "The Goddess of Fortune is such a sly one!"

[Ding, fifth enhancement of the Skill Book "Multiple Casting," consuming 100000 Realm Coins, 100000 food, 100000 stone ores, 100000 iron ores, 100000 wood, 10000 Gems, success rate 1%. This Divine Blessing will cause a qualitative change in the item. If the sacrifice fails, both the tribute and the enhanced item will disappear. Enhance?]

The Gems were still sufficient, but various resources began to dwindle. Lin Rui directly opened two (large) resource packs, increasing all types of resources by twenty thousand, supplementing all the supplies.

With only a one percent success rate, Lin Rui had to be cautious. If his little wife refused to help, or if she wanted to keep this haul, he would suffer a huge loss!

So Lin Rui solemnly declared, "Beloved wife, bless me! This is a serious matter; the charge to the realm leaderboards depends on this!"

The investment of hundreds of thousands in resources was absolutely unprecedented in the history of the territory.

Victory or defeat rests on this single action! Lin Rui decisively pressed to sacrifice.

The next moment, a magnificent, colossal golden light column descended from the sky, covering the entire territory. In this brilliant golden light, everyone was unable to open their eyes.

The golden light persisted for a long time, and it took a while for the bright and sublime sensation to slowly fade. Under the Goddess Pendulum, the slightly old-looking Skill Book had transformed into a golden-glowing, exquisite, and elegant paper scroll, with two golden tassels tied in the middle.

[Whisper of the Magic Goddess lv1: When casting, there is a probability of sensing the Magic Goddess’s chanting, the skill carries a 20% Divine Effect, 75% chance for Double Casting, 50% chance for Triple Casting, 25% chance for Fourfold Casting, 12.5% chance for Fivefold Casting, 5% chance for Sixfold Casting, and 1% chance for Tenfold Casting.]

Lin Rui held the holy Magic Scroll, his eyes full of mirth. His wife, to fulfill her sweetheart’s wish, practically pulled down her best friend’s underwear for him.

In a fair competitive game, what does a level one hero do against a full level hero with six items?

Of course, cheat — infinite skills, the opponent throws one skill, you throw ten, and control them to death.

Lin Rui stripped off his equipment piece by piece, placing them in Audrey’s arms, urging her to hold them with both arms.

Audrey, tears glistening in her eyes, asked, "Lord, are you leaving your last words? If you fail, will you die? I don’t want you to die, Lord~ Maybe we shouldn’t go!"

This silly girl!

Lin Rui flicked her smooth forehead, "What nonsense are you thinking! I’m just reducing my Attributes to lower the Mirror Image’s Life Value! Can you think of something more auspicious!"
