Chapter 504: Another Global Announcement
“What am I missing? Why won’t the system acknowledge my progress? Is it because the clone I’ve created still isn’t good enough? Or is it possible that advancing with [Mirror World] doesn’t even require making the clones solid?” Leo wondered, as he could really feel the pressure mounting now.
With only 30 days remaining in his istion, the fact that he had yet to reach the status of a ‘Master’ level fighter weighed heavily on him, gnawing constantly at his thoughts.
He could feel the pressure mounting now, as he was running out of ideas on what more he could do?
“I can’t control two clones at once…Just controlling one that’s solid is extremely hard already.
I can perhaps create three if the goal is just to make them run around, however, if I have to make them hold objects or throw daggers towards a precise target, then I absolutely can’t control more than one at once” Leo muttered to himself, as he ruled out the idea that he needed to perhaps learn how to control more physical clones at once, as even with his enhanced mental capacity, it was impossible for him to control more than one at his level.
“Perhaps I should work on improving my control over the clone? I still can’t hit the bullseye more than 5 out of 10 times when I’m controlling the clone to throw a dagger at a target 25 meters away.
Maybe I should start there…” Leo thought, as with no other direction to work on, he decided to improve his control over the clone in aspects such as improving the clone’s nimbleness and dexterity.
Currently, the clone was at about 1/10th of his strength, moving much slower and awkwardlypared to his real body, however, 1/10th of his current strength was already impressive enough. The clone could move, lift objects and produce some real impact when needed, however, the movements it made were still notpletely natural, as the framework Leo that Leo used to make its body was not the same as a real human.
Not all joints were connected in a simr way and without the clone having actual muscles to control its movements, it did not move in the same natural form as a human would.
Hence with no other direction to work on, Leo decided to work on improving the clone to make it more ‘Human-Like’ in hopes of making it more nimble.
Over the next five days, Leo changed several aspects of the clone, improving not just his own control over it, but the clone’s strength too, as at the end of the fifth day, the much awaited System Notification finally came.
[ System Notification:- Congrattions yer ‘TheBoss’ for improving your mastery of the skill [Mirror World] from (Intermediate) to (Advanced) grade.
You have received:-
+25 levels.
+100,000 Gold
+2,500 MP ]
“YESSS!” Leo screamed in tion when he got this system notification, as all his hard work finally seemed to pay off.
He had somehow managed to push the mastery of his skills [Mirror World] all by himself, without needing the help of his master.
However, to his horror, the system notification that appeared after acknowledging his hard work was not what he had been hoping for, as instead of a notification that acknowledged him bing a ‘Master’, he instead received a notification informing him that he had made it to the Global Announcements once again.
[ Global Announcement :- Congrattions to the yer ‘TheBoss’, for bing the first yer in the game to reach (Advanced) mastery of Three (Legendary) skills.
Awarding him with.
+15,000 MP
+17,000 Fame Points ]
To his absolute horror, the system informed the whole world that he had managed to raise the mastery of three of his skills to the (advanced) grade, and this revtion absolutely gutted Leo, who wanted to keep his strength improvement a low-key affair.
Thankfully, the gains he had received from improving his skill mastery were not small either, giving him tonnes of MP and a lot of levels, which helped ease the pain of the global announcement very slightly.
***********
(Meanwhile on the global forums)
Just like always, once the global announcement broke out, everyone went mental discussing the new achievements of ‘TheBoss’, who had be almost like an urban legend at this point within the gamingmunity.
“Reaching (Advanced) mastery on three skills? That too of the legendary rank? The Boss is on another levelpared to the rest of us, as I’m sure that 99% yers have yet to raise the mastery of any of their skills to even the (Intermediate) grade.”
“The Boss just shot up by 25 levels on the global rankings…. It’s a p in the face to all the fools who were thinking that ‘TheBoss’ had started to slow down.
Turns out he was just busy with mastering his skills and even when doing so, he still managed to level up anyhow”
“Nobody has seen The Boss in action after the Demon Count fight. With him apparently undergoing a new training arc, I wonder how strong he is whenpared to other top yers!”
“What is there to see? Don’t you remember how the DarkSky guild got wiped out by a single Demon Count in battle just a few weeks ago? While The Boss killed one a few months ago.
At this point the man is literally better than the number one guild…. ALONE”
“Man the Third Evaluation is just 30 days away. The Boss is already establishing his legacy unlike any other yer, gaining fame constantly.
Must feel good for him to know that he’s only going up in life, never having to worry about being demoted to Sector E”
“The Boss does it again? Why am I not surprised? I knew it was him when the global notification popped up… I didn’t even need to read who it was addressed to–”
The whole global forum was in awe of Leo, praising him left and right, however, Leo himself was not happy about the revtion at all.
