I, the Weakest Human, Start with a Hundredfold Bonus Talent！ - Chapter 43

Chapter43-Earn Points Like Crazy! (Part 1)
“Damn! This is insane!”

In midair, Exiled Immortal gasped as he watched a large number of goblins fall before the Trigger Magic Traps, instinctively putting in more effort.

He had thought he was the chosen one to dominate this event, but it now seemed that everyone was just as formidable.

There was no need to elaborate on John’s speed in harvesting goblins. Each time a trap was triggered, dozens of goblins were taken down.

Plus, with the golem rampaging through the goblin horde, John’s killing speed was definitely the fastest.

What was most surprising was Lily’s rapid accumulation of points.

The goblins killed by her were reanimated by Spirit Summoning, rejoining the battlefield.

In just ten minutes, she had also harvested over a thousand points!

Only Helena’s speed was slightly slower, but she specifically targeted high-level elite goblins.

Although fewer in number, the quality of her kills ensured she kept pace with the others.

“Don’t lose focus, the first wave of the monster tide is coming!”

Noticing the goblin chariots slowly approaching in the distance, John frowned.

With a thought, the golem crushed the goblins in front of it into pulp and slowly advanced towards the goblin chariots.

“Exiled Immortal, ascend and see when this wave of the monster tide might end!”

“Not now… Damn it, these beasts have anti-air weapons! I’m pinned down!”

A rain of arrows blanketed Exiled Immortal, their sheer number forcing him to channel the azure wind to shield himself, deflecting the arrows.

“Helena, fall back!”

“Understood.”

Helena nodded slightly.

The intense fighting of the past few minutes had indeed been physically taxing.

In previous battles, most of the combat had been left to Exiled Immortal, as her talent did not provide her with additional combat strength.

After retreating into the fortress, John recalled the golem, replenished its chant essence, and waited for the goblin chariots to arrive on the battlefield.

He observed the chariots, entirely made of wood, with an exaggerated design that included even more exaggerated ballista bolts, each nearly two meters in length, mounted on the back.

John couldn’t quite understand how these green-skinned little creatures had managed to craft such complex contraptions, but that wasn’t his primary concern at the moment.

“There are two chariots in total. I’ll handle them. After this wave, there should be a brief respite. Use that time to replenish your stamina. Especially you, Exiled Immortal. Don’t overexert yourself. This major event will last at least a full day. If you exhaust your stamina now, what will you do later?”

Hearing this, Exiled Immortal blushed and nodded sheepishly, without retorting.

He had indeed been a bit too eager, seeing his points fall slightly behind John and Lily’s, and John had noticed.

“In any case, we need to hold out here as long as possible to earn more points. If anyone can’t hold on, retreat immediately. Don’t put yourself in danger and force others to rescue you. Understood?”

“Understood!”

As they spoke, the goblin chariots had already arrived outside the fortress.

The goblins at the helm let out piercing screams, while the smaller goblins at the back quickly loaded the nearly two-meter-long bolts onto the ballistae.

“The division of labor is quite clear, but it’s a pity it’s of no use.”

John sneered, commanding his golem to rejoin the battlefield. He aimed at the nearby goblin chariot as the armor on either side of its shoulders slowly unfolded, revealing two dark cannons.

“Fire!”

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted in front of him, shaking the ground beneath his feet. In an instant, the once-menacing goblin chariot was reduced to dust, not even leaving a single piece intact!

Seeing this, Exiled Immortal swallowed hard and sighed.

“I’ve come to understand, winning first place in this event probably has nothing to do with me. But can I at least strive for second place?”

“That’s not certain. While you were daydreaming, Lily’s points already surpassed yours.”

Helena curled her lips into a smile and said, “And the difference between us isn’t that great either. I think I still have a chance to surpass you.”

Hearing this, Exiled Immortal hurriedly opened the team panel, only to see that Lily had already broken through 3000 points, leaving him stunned.

After all his hard work, he barely had around 2500 points, yet Lily had exceeded him by nearly 500 points!

He then glanced at Helena, who had 2300 points, very close to his own.

As for John, he was completely out of reach, with a terrifying score of over 5000 points that made Exiled Immortal tremble.

“I-I’m not really chasing points. I just want to help everyone as much as possible…”

Lily stuck out her tongue, a bit embarrassed, as she stroked her staff.

“It’s alright, Lily. Earning those points is a testament to your skill, unlike some people who boasted grandly before the event started but are now left speechless.”

Helena laughed softly behind her hand, though her eyes never fully left the battlefield.

After John dealt with the goblin chariot, the three rejoined the fray. Despite having already fought a major battle, they worked even harder, clearing the remaining monsters in less than twenty minutes.

“I’m exhausted… absolutely spent…”

Controlling his flying sword to pierce through the last surviving goblin, Exiled Immortal slowly descended, collapsing to the ground and gasping for breath.

It wasn’t that he had forgotten John’s advice to conserve his stamina; it was simply that Exiled Immortal had been targeted.

In the four-person team, he was the only one with the ability to fly, and the goblin tide had no shortage of anti-air measures—spears, arrows, and even basic magical fireballs and ice spikes were continuously launched at him.

He had to control his flying sword while also watching out for hidden projectiles from the shadows, which greatly drained his stamina.

“Who told you to show off? That’s not how a swordsman class is supposed to be played. You could have charged into the monster horde and gone on a killing spree, but no, you had to float in the air like a target. I really don’t understand your thinking.”

John rolled his eyes and kicked Exiled Immortal aside, then found a spot to sit down.

“You don’t get it, John. Sword flying… is a man’s romance.”

“A romance for immature brats, maybe. What kind of man are you?”

“Enough with the chatter. Let’s take stock of our loot. The goblin corpses disappear automatically, and the dropped items go directly into our backpacks. Check if there’s anything useful; if not, exchange it for event points.”

“Right! I was wondering why it seemed so strange. With the number of goblins we’ve killed, their bodies should have piled up into a mountain by now. Turns out they disappear automatically? Hey, that’s quite a user-friendly design.”

Exiled Immortal smirked and then opened his player inventory to take a look.

The quantity of dropped items was immense and varied, but most were common metals or low-quality weapons, useful perhaps to John but completely worthless to Exiled Immortal.

Helena and Lily were in a similar situation.

After handing over any potentially useful materials to John, they exchanged the rest of the junk equipment for event points.

As for John, he naturally found some valuable items.

[Goblin Shaman’s Amulet]

Quality: [Epic]

Traits: [Increases Wisdom by 70 points when worn, but slows casting speed, casting time, and efficiency.]

Panel Attributes: [Stamina increases by 5 points]

Item Description: [@#$%@$#%!(Goblin language)]

Looking at the hasty item description, John chuckled and handed the accessory to Lily.

After all, among the four of them, Lily was the only one with a mage-like role, making it useless to John himself.

Next, John took out a second item.

[Goblin Hunter’s Eye]

Quality: [Epic]

Traits: [Increases Agility moderately and Stamina slightly when worn. Increases field of vision moderately but gradually decreases sanity.]

Panel Attributes: [Stamina increases by 25 points, Agility increases by 15 points]

Item Description: [Don’t worry, you don’t need to replace your eye with this disgusting thing, nor do you need to swallow it. Just click to equip it. It’s that simple.

Of course, be mindful of the duration of use.]
