When the Transparent Person announced that Lan Qingyou had taken first place, almost everyone held their breath and stared at him.
Everyone wanted to know what the reward for first place was.
【As the winner of first place, the Witch of the High Tower has earned a Racial Strength +1 reward for her race, the Witch race. Let us congratulate her once more!】
The Transparent Person used the same old rhetoric, but this time the reward had changed. There was nothing particularly fresh about the phrasing.
However...
"What the hell is this Racial Strength?"
The moment the prize was announced, that very question appeared on the world channel.
Never mind the viewers—even the winner, Lan Qingyou, had no idea what it was.
So, she turned an inquiring gaze toward the Transparent Person standing beside her, who was more than a head taller than her.
【Haha, I believe many of you are wondering what this so-called Racial Strength means.】
【Well then, let me tell everyone. It's actually nothing particularly new.】
The Transparent Person raised a fist and extended four fingers toward a camera that likely existed but was invisible to Lan Qingyou and the others.
【To put it simply, Racial Strength refers to what everyone calls the four dimensions. The four dimensions are the strength. Does everyone understand now?】
...
Understand? How could they not understand?
The crowd, who had been waiting with bated breath, nearly ground their molars to dust after learning what this so-called "Racial Strength" actually was.
Racial Strength... it sounded like such a grand and high-end term, so why did it feel like its aura had dropped several tiers once it was explained?
The four values on the personal profile—strength, agility, stamina, and spirit—were known as the four dimensions.
If the Racial Strength he spoke of was an enhancement to the strength of these four dimensions, then wasn't it just another Attribute Correction?
Previously, after a Transmigrator used an evolution item, they would receive an Attribute Correction regardless of their race.
That was when they officially transformed from Blue Star humans into Kalim people suited for survival in this world.
So, having it happen again didn't seem like that big of a deal.
Disappointment.
They were all quite disappointed.
"What? I thought it was going to be some incredible reward."
"Sigh... I even got someone to bring pen and paper, ready to record the rewards so I could lead my people to fight for them next time. Now it seems like it's just 'whatever.'"
"Exactly. The previous two rewards looked so good; why did it get worse for first place?"
"Hey, is there a possibility that this reward is actually great, but we just don't know the details?"
"Hmm? What do you mean by that?"
"Care to elaborate?"
Upon hearing this person's words, the people on the world channel became interested.
"Attributes are numerical values. I don't need to tell you what numerical values represent, right? Suppose this reward is a correction of a hundred points for each of the four dimensions. Wouldn't that be four hundred points in total?"
"Hiss—"
The crowd, which had been a bit disappointed, suddenly wasn't disappointed anymore.
No... why even talk about disappointment!
They didn't even have enough time for envy, jealousy, and hatred!
If what that guy said was true, wouldn't that be equivalent to suddenly gaining about eighty levels' worth of attribute points?
One had to know that a proverb had recently formed among Transmigrators: "The game only truly begins after level ten."
This was because, after a Transmigrator reached level ten, the attribute points gained per level would jump from one point to five points. It was a qualitative leap.
And now, if the witches gained four hundred attribute points in one go, wouldn't that be exactly eighty levels' worth of points?
This was no longer a question of game balance; it was complete winner takes all!
"How can this be!?"
"I'm so envious. If it's really like that, won't the Witch race just skyrocket?"
"Why couldn't my clan leader be more ambitious..."
"Look at the top three—they're all witches. At this point, you might as well say your entire race is unambitious."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could such a good thing exist in this world!"
"Exactly! If all the good things go to the Witch race, what about the other races!"
"Sigh... if I had known, I should have drunk that Witch potion even if it meant becoming a girl. Why was I so stubborn back then?"
"What! You actually had a Witch potion?"
"I got one by chance, but I was disgusted by it, so I gave it to my younger sister."
"Tsk tsk, you were actually disgusted by it... what kind of wealthy family are you from?"
Although someone had made a guess, and it was only a guess, it still inevitably caused many people to feel worried.
Yes.
Worried.
The advantage the Witch race currently displayed compared to other races was already a massive lead.
And now they were getting buffed and corrected even further...
At this rate, forget about adding a hundred points to each attribute—even adding fifty points would make them unreachable for other races.
Not to mention those Blue Star Transmigrators who hadn't even evolved yet.
"Look! Those three witches are all checking their personal profiles!"
"Wait, why do I feel like all three witches have unsuppressable smiles on their faces?"
"Please remove the words 'I feel like.' They are definitely smiling, okay!"
"Wow... it's the first time I've seen the corners of someone's mouth so impossible to keep down."
"Do they really want to laugh that badly?"
"Could it be because they gained as much as that person said?"
"Isn't that obvious? The question now is how much was added."
"Looking at those smirks, which are harder to control than an AK's recoil, I don't think it'll be a small amount."
"Now that you mention it, you're right."
"Announce it already! Hurry up and announce it! I can't wait to know the exact numbers."
Now, almost everyone was waiting.
Waiting for the people on the stage to give a clear number so they could finally give up hope.
After all, this kind of agony was unnecessary for those who were originally just onlookers.
Think about it.
The vast majority of Transmigrators just wanted to watch the evolved beings fight, learn a bit, or simply pass the time as if watching a show.
Yet they had to endure the same agony as the evolved beings who hadn't placed. That was like being force-fed crap!
"Wait! There's news! Brothers, there's news!"
"What? What is it?"
"News just came from the Kalim Supreme Council. When you read it, do not be shocked, do not be consumed by envy, and most importantly, do not let your dao heart shattering because of it."
"Just say it! Stop keeping us in suspense!!"
"Exactly! It's just a piece of news; why are you doing all this buildup?"
"Everyone wants to know the news from the Kalim Supreme Council more than anything right now!"
Seeing the guy who claimed to have news pulling this stunt, many people began to feel dissatisfied and sent him exceptionally 'warm' greetings on the world channel.
"Alright, alright. Since everyone is so impatient, I'll say it."
"The witches have just had all their values increased by one thousand points!!!"
