Terra Nova Online : Rise Of The Strongest Player - Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Probability
“So what now, Captain, can we do nothing about this situation?” Raven asked, as although he acknowledged the fact that Leo was a genius who was meant to soar high into the skies, if he managed to reach the realm of a Master, not only would he irreversibly tilt the balance of the game, but he would also break free from the restrictions of the ankle monitor.

“We can only report this situation to the higher ups and wait for their response. They might feel even more interested in Leo Skyshard after learning about his incredible progress, inviting more factions to go after him. Or they might decide to extend his punishment for another deal” Captain Kid said, as he seemed to give up on the thought of trying to handle the ‘Leo Skyshard’ situation by himself.

If he handled Leo’s situation wrong, the backlash he would face could be immense and hence he decided to not worry about it at all.

He would let the higher ups decide on what to do with Leo and just follow their orders to the T.

“Captain, about Leo Skyshard, there’s something I wish to report” Raya said, as since they were currently discussing his future, Raya felt like it was important that she reveal the details of her previous conversation with Leo.

“What is it?” Kid asked, his eyebrow raised in curiosity.

“A few days ago when I was in MP exchange duty, I received a call from Leo Skyshard, as he inquired about the method to recreate a Ben Faulkner clone in real life–” Raya said, as Kid immediately dismissed the idea as absurd.

“That would take hundreds of thousands of MP, and for what? Clones can’t advance more than 1 grade of where they were created, so even if he recreated Ben Faulkner’s clone. This version of Ben Faulkner would become a Grandmaster level fighter at best, if he managed to become that in the first place.

The yearly salary of a beginner level Universal Government employee is 10,000 MP a year, so if he worked for 75 years non-stop, not spending a single MP on anything, he would still barely gather the MP required to create a clone of Ben Faulkner which would not amount to much in the first place.

Even holding such an idea is ridiculous, it’s better to save 750,000 MP if he can collect it and live a luxurious life on Terra Nova, rather than spending it on a clone” Kid said, feeling flabbergasted that someone even proposed doing something so ridiculous.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I told him Captain, but he then proceeded to request a list of all the missions within the game that paid out the most amount of MP as a reward and seemed dead set on completing them” Raya reported, as at this piece of news Kid’s expression turned a little serious.

“The three missions that pay the most MP, aren’t all three of them nearly impossible?” Kid said, recalling what those missions were, as he did not think that anyone could complete them.

“Yes, but with The Uprising becoming this strong, there’s currently a 15% chance that they succeed in taking over the Empire.

While if Leo Skyshard becomes a master, that will put him in the same realm of strength as Demon King Anos” Raya reported, as sweat beads started to form on Kid’s head when he heard this report.

“Is that so?” Kid inquired, thinking more deeply into the matter, before shrugging his shoulders in dismissal.

“Even if he completes the first two missions, it’s impossible for a player to kill Black Dragon Drogo.

It doesn’t matter how much of a genius Leo Skyshard is, defeating Drogo is impossible.

What does the system show his odds of defeating Drogo to be, if he does manage to become a master?” Kid asked, as Raya inputted some commands into her supercomputer before replying “0.12%”

“0.12%???” Kid cried out loud, as although these were still pretty nominal odds, it was higher than anything he had ever seen before.

“So high?” Kid asked again, feeling stupefied, as his whole evaluation of Leo Skyshard changed once again.

“I think we should start befriending Leo Skyshard. There is no longer any doubt in my mind that he will be our Superior should he join the Universal Government, and hugging his thick thighs early will give us a benefit in life–” Kid said shamelessly, as he was completely blown away by Leo’s brilliance at this point.

( Meanwhile Luke, Terra Nova Online )

Luke rode Brown Pudding on one of his regular scouting missions, when this time around he saw a massive wyvern being chained down to the ground using heavy steel chains, being present within the Demon Camp.

‘He’s back…. The Demon Count is back!’ Luke thought, as he seemed to have recognised that wyvern mount instantly.

“Let’s return Brown Pudding, I don’t think it’s safe to scout over the Demon Camp anymore–” Luke said as he tugged on Brown Pudding’s reins for her to turn around.

The Demon Count having returned was bad news for the DarkSky Guild, as this made their next clash against the Demon Army nearly impossible to win.

Having a Demon Count by their side, whose primary class was something like a mage, was like having a fighter jet to back an army in battle.

Not only did he fly high and fast, making it impossible for groundsmen to target him, but he also dished out powerful AOE damage to defensive lines, making fighting a war that much more difficult tactically.

‘Is this the end of our hold on Silver-Pine Barony?’ Luke wondered, as he returned back to base camp and let out a deep sigh.

Currently, it did not seem like the Demon’s were on the cusp of mobilizing their forces, however, whenever they launched the next attack, it would undoubtedly be a difficult one to defend against, with the Demon Count having returned beside their ranks.
