Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction

In the forest, Liu Yan observed the team of Awakened from the side.

The Awakened had just finished their big battle with the few mutated poison rats. At this moment, they seemed to be quite relaxed as they chatted about distributing the rewards.

"It's all thanks to big brother Wang Qing, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to defeat these mutated poison rats at all."

"These beasts are only at level one, but they're so powerful. It's hard to imagine how powerful the higher-level beasts are."

"No wonder the instructor had said that the Tower was extremely dangerous and that every beast was also extremely dangerous."

"These mutated poison rats are much weaker than the green pythons from before though."

"Sigh, it's a pity that those two died fighting the green pythons just now. We can't defeat those green pythons nor can we avenge them. We could only run away."

"Those green pythons seemed to be guarding some kind of scarce resources. It's a pity that we're not strong enough to obtain the resources."

"..."

Hearing their conversation, Liu Yan, who was not far away, immediately understood.

It seemed that the den of green pythons that Liu Yan had killed previously had fought against this group of people before he came along.

No wonder there weren't many skills that were obtained from the corpses of the Awakened in the green pythons' bellies. It turned out that they only had D-grade talents.

At this moment, the girl that Liu Yan had taken note of earlier was also flattering Wang Qing.

"Big brother Wang Qing, since you're so strong, you must protect us in the future. We simply can't survive without you," The girl said with a fawning expression.

"Of course, we're all from the Blue Planet. It's a given we should take care of each other," Wang Qing said as he patted his chest.

Liu Yan checked the girl's stats.

[Song Yu]

[Level: 1(32/100)]

[HP: 150/150]

[MP: 40/120]

[Strength (attack): 13]

[Vitality (defense): 11]

[Agility (speed): 15]

[Spirit (mana): 17]

[Adaptability (magic resistance): 14]

[Luck (probability) : 37]

[Allocatable attribute points: 0]

[Talent: Delay (C-grade) -- Upon usage, the target's movements will be delayed. The specific duration of the effect depends on the strength and adaptability of both parties. If both are at the same level, the average duration of effect is three seconds.]

[Equipment: Federal Defense Equipment Set (F-grade)]

Looking at Song Yu's attributes, Liu Yan was slightly surprised.

On the surface, it was merely a C-grade talent that was slightly weaker than Wang Qing's B-grade talent. On top of that, it was a support-type talent, so it did not have offensive power.

But in reality, the Delay talent was extremely powerful. Sometimes, it might even be stronger than most B-grade talents.

This was because, in battles between Awakened and beasts, three seconds could have a great impact.

This was especially so in a battle between high-leveled Awakened and beasts since three seconds might be enough to decide the outcome of the battle.

Yet now, Wang Qing had already risen to level 2 while she hadn't even reached half of the EXP of level 1. It could be seen that following Wang Qing was, realistically speaking, not a good thing.

Liu Yan shook his head slightly. These people were only concerned about their lives and did not focus on improving their own strength, which was really unwise.

Liu Yan had undoubtedly taken a liking to Song Yu's talent. If Song Yu died in battle, he would immediately use Divine Extraction on her corpse...

Just as he was thinking about it, a conflict had broken out in the Awakened team ahead.

"Big brother Wang, we know that you're strong, but aren't you going too far? You've picked all the good stuff, leaving us with only sub-standard choices."

"That's right. If we continue being weak like this, how are we going to survive?"

"Big brother Wang, your distribution rules are indeed quite unfair..."

A few of the Awakened were looking at Wang Qing with dissatisfaction.

Although the mutated poison rats weren't guarding any rare resources, they still had some ordinary resources that could help the Awakened survive and become stronger to a certain extent.

However, when distributing the harvest, Wang Qing wanted to monopolize all the good things that he fancied. He was only willing to give the rest to others.

Facing the dissatisfaction of his team members, Wang Qing said grumpily, "Strength determines everything. I'm the strongest, so it's a given I am to be given the priority to increase my strength. Isn't it so that I only protect you because I'm strong? If you guys are dissatisfied, feel free to leave the team. I'll see how you'll survive then!"

Following Wang Qing's words, although the few Awakened did want to follow Wang Qing and have his help, the grades of their talents weren't low and their strength wasn't weak either.

The few Awakened looked at each other. In the end, they decided that they couldn't stand Wang Qing and chose to leave the team.

With that, four people left the team, leaving only four on the team. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

The Awakened team that had only been formed for a day had two killed in battle while four left the team. Their strength had been reduced by more than half.

Looking at the remaining three people, Wang Qing wore a slightly ugly expression. He did not expect that these people would actually dare to leave him, a powerful Awakened with a B-grade talent.

With this, the strength of the team would be greatly reduced, and the subsequent explorations would undoubtedly be much more dangerous.

Instantly, Wang Qing felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have comforted them, or he would have taken in more Awakened when forming the team in the beginning.

At this time, Wang Qing had already noticed Liu Yan, who was not far away.

"Sir, you've watched for so long. It's time for you to show yourself, right?" Wang Qing shouted.

The remaining three Awakened also looked in his direction in surprise.

Liu Yan wasn't surprised to be discovered since he hadn't hidden properly anyway. Besides, being discovered was no big deal. As such, Liu Yan directly walked out from his hiding spot.

"I don't have any ill intentions. I was just passing by. It's just that I noticed that you guys were in battle, so I wanted to see the situation," Liu Yan said indifferently.

"You're a loner? You haven't joined any Awakened teams?" Seeing that Liu Yan was alone, Song Yu said with some surprise.

"That's right," Liu Yan nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Qing was immediately interested. To be able to survive alone for a whole day meant that his strength was not bad.

The strength of the team had just been reduced by more than half. As such, Wang Qing was in a hurry to recruit members to increase the overall strength, so he quickly extended an invitation to Liu Yan, "Bro, I can see that you're quite strong. Our team is also very strong, rather, we're the strongest among this batch of Awakened. Why don't you join us?"

When Liu Yan heard this, he pondered for a moment and instantly lost interest.

Firstly, his strength was sufficient. If he was careful, traveling alone wouldn't bring him any dangers. Besides, the gains he could get alone were much greater than the gains that their whole team had gotten.

Secondly, Liu Yan had the feeling that Wang Qing didn't have a very good personality, something he could tell from how Wang Qing had distributed the gains just now.

Since it was a team, they were companions. The best way would then undoubtedly be to increase their strength together. It was selfish of Wang Qing to only care about his own strength and not about the other members of the group.

Lastly, through Spirit Vision, Liu Yan had sensed that there seemed to be danger coming from underground.

He guessed that these people had probably knocked over the nest of some powerful beast underground when they had defeated those mutated poison rats just now, and danger seemed to be on the way.

After thinking about it, Liu Yan shook his head slightly and said, "I'm sorry. I'm used to being alone. It's better if I don't join the team and cause trouble for you."
