Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 30

God’s Whisper, Twilight Mercenaries, Airplane Men.

The 3 major groups in Area 107 are experiencing rapid growth. The number of members in the group chats increases daily, creating a clear trend of a three-way stalemate.

As for Han Xing, ever since he fell out of the top 10, he hasn’t made much progress.

So far, Han Xing’s territory points have just surpassed 400, barely maintaining a position within the top 20.

There is almost no discussion about Han Xing in the chat channels anymore, it seems he is on the verge of blending into obscurity.

On the morning of the fourth day, Han Xing’s territory points reached 456, causing him to fall out of the top 20.

However, this was because Han Xing deliberately slowed his pace.

If he truly exerted effort, he could still maintain a position in the top 10, but that did not meet his expectations.

The difference between the rewards for the top 10 and the top 20 isn’t significant. His goal is nothing less than 1st place.

So, Han Xing is waiting for an opportunity, and that opportunity is the hatching of his pet.

At this stage, where everyone is fighting alone, having an extra pet can provide significant assistance to a survivor, even if the pet is weak.

And Han Xing’s pet egg was seized from an archdemon, so it definitely won’t be weak.

That will be the time for him to truly sprint forward!

On the leaderboard, Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun have been pushed out of the top 50.

In the group chat, Cheng Jianyong complained early in the morning: “Damn, these guys are relentless. I’ve cut my sleep to under 6 hours every day and spent all other time exploring the sky islands, yet I still can’t keep up with them, these tireless overachievers!”

Han Xing laughed and said: “It’s to be expected. During the event, all survivors in our Area 107 are in a ‘Valiant Struggle’ state, making battles easier. Taking advantage of this, they are definitely exploring the sky island like crazy.”

However, Shen Yun thoughtfully remarked: “4 days… Today marks the 90th hour since the event started.”

“The top 20 overachievers probably haven’t slept much. Even the most determined people must be reaching their limits.”

After hearing this, Cheng Jianyong said dejectedly: “What’s the use of that? We’re so far behind now that even if some can’t hold on and take a few hours’ rest, we still won’t catch up.”

“Don’t even think about 1st place. Whisperer has already surpassed 800 points, and he might break 1000 points today and claim 1st place rewards.”

However, Shen Yun shook his head and said, “No, you don’t understand.”

“Those people on the leaderboard, especially the top 10, don’t dare to rest at this point.”

“They’re afraid that if they rest even for a few hours, their ranking, which they’ve struggled to maintain for days, will suddenly drop!”

“So the next day is the one that will determine the final rankings. It depends on whether they can hold on.”

“Plus, don’t forget about the formidable presence of regional bosses…”

Shen Yun is right. Meanwhile.

In other survivors’ territories.

Whisperer equipped with full mage gear, Black Hawk with rogue gear, Papaya Star Spirit with warrior gear, and several other survivors are at the top of the rankings.

At this moment, they all faced the sky island monsters with bloodshot eyes, clenching their jaws and summoning the last bit of their strength.

No matter how hard they tried to hold on, their exhausted bodies and sluggish movements betrayed them.

At that moment, a young-looking man wielding a greatsword suddenly experienced blurred vision while battling a giant lizard.

He tried to blink away the confusion, but his consciousness seemed to flicker on and off intermittently.

By the time he forced himself to focus, the giant lizard had somehow already leaped right beside him.

The lizard opened its gaping maw, which rapidly enlarged in the sight of the warrior.

In his weary eyes, a deep-seated fear emerged.

“Ah!!!”

After a piercing scream.

Beyond the territory of the giant lizard, a sky island with an area of around 500 m² suddenly collapsed…

Simultaneously, on the Territory Points Leaderboard, a name silently vanished.

……

At this moment, Han Xing was sitting on the bench in the territory, silently watching the progress bar in front of him.

[Incubation in Progress, Time Remaining: 0 Hours, 30 Minutes, 59 Seconds…]

“It’s almost time, just half an hour to go!”

After a 100 hours of waiting, he would soon discover what creature was inside this black egg.

Han Xing felt a bit excited internally. He murmured: “The Strange Beast Egg obtained from the archdemon, surely it will hatch into a legendary-level pet for me, right?”

Upon hearing Han Xing’s voice, the giant egg on the ground vibrated slightly. Complex patterns continuously appeared on its black and golden shell.

The creature inside seemed eager to emerge.

However, it was still not time for it to hatch, with nearly half an hour remaining in the incubation period, so Han Xing had no choice but to continue waiting.

At this moment, a private message caught his attention.

Han Xing checked the name, it was from Smart Lamb again.

He opened the private chat to read the message she had sent.

Smart Lamb: “Star… God Star River, hi, do you… have time now?”

Han Xing: “…Who taught you to call me that?”

Smart Lamb: “Huh? I saw others call you that before… so, I, I…”

Han Xing: “Forget it, what do you need from me?”

The person on the other end seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. A moment later, Smart Lamb replied: “Well, today when I was exploring the sky island, I encountered a really powerful monster. It was a strange tree with many arms!”

“It took a lot of effort, but I barely managed to defeat it. After winning, I found a recipe under its roots.”

“Then I checked the information on it and thought you might find it useful.”

“A monster tree…could it be a plant-type monster?”

Han Xing pondered for a moment, “And there’s a recipe? Show it to me so I can take a look.”

“O-okay.”

[Smart Lamb has initiated a trade request with you.]

Han Xing: “…”

“Didn’t I teach you that you can directly send the item information in a private message? There’s no need for a trade.”

Smart Lamb paused, then reacted and said: “Huh? Oh, I forgot…”

Han Xing sighed: “Never mind, you go ahead and put it up first.”

Upon hearing Han Xing’s instruction, Smart Lamb quickly input a recipe.

[Life Potion Recipe (Green): This contains the method and required material ratios for making a Life Potion, capable of healing a critically injured 1-Star Creature and slightly injured 2-Star Creature.]

The moment he saw the recipe information, Han Xing was stunned.

This was an exceedingly rare recovery potion recipe!

Everyone knows that while Spirit Spring Water also has healing properties, compared to the Life Potion, its effect is much inferior.

What does it mean to heal serious injuries?

As long as a survivor isn’t killed with a single blow or missing limbs, the Life Potion can pull you back from the brink of death.

This item is almost like having an extra life in the early stages!

Han Xing, trying hard to control his excitement, calmly said: “I want this recipe. Name your price.”

Hearing this, Smart Lamb seemed a bit bewildered. After a moment, she quickly replied: “You… you misunderstood. I was planning to give this recipe to you. I don’t want anything from you…”

This time, Han Xing was the one who was surprised.

He knew that although this girl seemed a bit naive, she was not a fool.

She couldn’t possibly be unaware of the value of this recipe.

Right now, if she were to put this item on the Trading Channel, those big teams would be willing to pay any price, even if it meant selling everything they owned to acquire it!

After all, currently, there is no recovery item that can compete with the ‘Life Potion.’

At this stage, the ‘Life Potion’ has an irreplaceable effect among the survivors, almost just like the Spirit Spring Water did a couple of days ago.

And having the only recipe is pretty much equivalent to controlling the market, with an incalculable value behind it!

However, she actually said she intended to give it to him for free, making Han Xing doubt his own ears.
