Chapter 68: Emperor-Level Title, Fortune Plundering
Soon, the attributes of the title appeared on the virtual panel.
[Number One Prodigy]
Grade: Emperor-level
Effect 1: +5000 HP, +500 Defense
Effect 2: When you become the target of a prodigy, all their attributes decrease by 5%.
Effect 3: 10% chance to successfully plunder a prodigy's fortune. Cooldown: 3 days.
Description: Title-type item. Each player can only equip one title.
Flavor Text: Prodigy? I beat prodigies for a living.
Damn, these are some domineering stats.
If you equip this title, it basically turns you into the nemesis of all prodigies!
Worthy of being the Number One Prodigy, an Emperor-level title—absolutely overpowered.
It can even plunder the opponent's fortune, though the 10% chance is a bit low.
He wondered what kind of effect it would have after enhancement.
Just as Zhou Han was about to enhance it, he heard the system announcement.
[World Announcement: Player Zhou Han has successfully obtained the Emperor-level title "Number One Prodigy." Reward: 10,000 Soul Crystals.]
Another free gain—10,000 Soul Crystals, feels amazing!
"Hm? World announcement?"
Zhou Han immediately noticed this term.
Previously, there were only regional announcements, limited to Area 666.
But this time, it was a world announcement, meaning all players across all 1000 regions could see it.
An Emperor-level title was shocking enough to stir the entire world.
"This title is insane! To dare call yourself number one in the Divine Demon Continent—how powerful must that be!"
"As expected of Brother Han, bringing us shock after shock. I'm numb at this point."
"10,000 Soul Crystals? That reward is way too generous. I don't even have 10,000 gold yet."
"Whatever, I'll just keep grinding my level 5 mobs. Sigh, even after transmigrating to another world, I'm still bottom-tier trash."
…
Most players in Area 666 supported Zhou Han.
But players from other regions thought differently.
Inside an ancient castle, a blond, blue-eyed man named Johnson stood with a pair of white wings on his back.
After hearing the world announcement, a cold sneer appeared in his eyes.
"Fuck! Zhou Han?"
"Heh! Number One Prodigy? You think you deserve that? I'm the true Number One Prodigy!"
"Don't let me find out which region you're from. Otherwise, I, Johnson, won't let you off!"
Similar scenes played out across different regions.
In regions like the Three Buddha Nation, White Bear Nation, and Freedom Nation,
their top-ranked players were all extremely dissatisfied.
Everyone believed they were the real prodigy.
Who the hell did Zhou Han think he was?
Daring to call himself number one?
They all shouted in their regional chat,
saying that once the servers merged, they would definitely teach Zhou Han a harsh lesson.
Of course, Zhou Han couldn't see these messages.
And even if he could, he would be delighted—
after all, with fortune plundering, it was the perfect chance to test its effects.
"Enhance the title ten times."
Zhou Han didn't hesitate and directly enhanced it.
[Number One Prodigy +10]
Grade: Emperor-level
Effect 1: +30,000 HP, +4,000 Defense
Effect 2: Within a 100-meter radius, all prodigies have their attributes reduced by 30%.
Effect 3: 50% chance to randomly plunder a prodigy's fortune, equipment, talents, etc. Can be used up to 3 times per day, targeting only one enemy at a time. After a successful plunder, the same target cannot be plundered again that day.
Description: Title-type item. Each player can only equip one title.
Flavor Text: Prodigies? Just sheep for me to shear.
After enhancement, the new attributes were displayed.
With just one glance, Zhou Han felt how absurdly powerful it was.
Effect 1 went without saying—just a massive boost to base stats.
Effect 2 could reduce all attributes of prodigies by 30%, and with a 100-meter range, it could even be selectively applied within that radius as a debuff.
Then came Effect 3—the most broken one.
A 50% success rate wasn't particularly high or low—it all depended on luck.
But the cooldown was clearly improved, allowing three uses per day.
Even if 50% wasn't high, using it three times in a row made success highly likely.
"Jiang Xiong, I already know about your bet with Nie Tianchen. Hand over the Dragon Blood Pill."
Elder Lin said calmly.
It was obvious he was protecting Zhou Han.
Given Zhou Han's displayed talent, Jiang Xiong had no chance of winning.
This was just ending the bet early.
Reluctantly, Jiang Xiong took out the [Dragon Blood Pill], his face extremely ugly.
He had obtained this item with great difficulty.
If he hadn't been certain of winning the bet, he would never have put it on the line.
Now he had to hand it over, which filled him with resentment.
But under Elder Lin's sword-like gaze,
what could he do? He didn't even dare to utter a word.
"Heh, I told you not to celebrate too early."
Nie Tianchen sneered, full of satisfaction.
Internally, he was grateful—Zhou Han had helped him regain his face.
It had been nearly three months since he brought out a successful awakener.
Now with Zhou Han, the higher-ups were paying attention to him again.
"You… just you wait!"
Completely at a disadvantage, Jiang Xiong couldn't argue back.
He flicked his sleeve and fled in embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Nikawa Okaban crawled up from the ground—his life was quite tenacious.
After being taught a lesson by Elder Lin, he looked like a defeated dog.
He tried to follow Jiang Xiong out.
"Get lost! You useless trash! You made me lose so much!"
Having lost the [Dragon Blood Pill], Jiang Xiong was furious.
Seeing Nikawa Okaban only made it worse.
He slapped him hard across the face,
then stormed off in anger.
Zhou Han found it a bit amusing.
These two really were birds of a feather.
"I wonder if this Nikawa Okaban counts as a prodigy."
"I'll test the fortune plundering effect on him."
Zhou Han thought to himself.
"Use Fortune Plundering!"
[You used Fortune Plundering on Nikawa Okaban. Plunder failed.]
The first attempt failed.
Zhou Han began to worry that the guy didn't qualify as a prodigy.
After all, he was just trash who had only comprehended a platinum-level technique.
"Try again!"
[You used Fortune Plundering on Nikawa Okaban. Plunder successful.]
Hm? It worked!
[You obtained 2000 HP from the target. Absorb?]
"Absorb!"
[Absorption successful. Your HP increased by 2000.]
After the notification, a stream of life force surged into Zhou Han's body.
Meanwhile, on the other side—
"Ah! It hurts! I feel like I've lost something important!"
Nikawa Okaban felt as if his life was being drained.
The intense pain made him scream miserably,
rolling on the ground in agony.
"Nani? Why is my base HP only 100 now?"
After checking his stats,
he was completely terrified.
With that little HP, he couldn't even defeat a normal monster.
"Bastard! Who did this?!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
