Chapter 86: The First Group of Shadow Assassins!

Li Cheng casually gave Pearl a few hundred bottles of those three potions. In any case, such large-scale events were bound to happen again. If there was no other time, he could just buy them again.

Pearl was already somewhat numb to Li Cheng’s generosity and strength. She obediently took the bottles and thanked him. The more she interacted with Li Cheng, the more unfathomable his image in her heart became.

At this moment, Li Cheng casually waved his hand and a teleportation door appeared in front of him. In the blink of an eye, he returned to his own territory, opened the building blueprints, and started to construct the newly unlocked building in his territory.

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed a million units of wood, stone, and iron ore to build the Shadow Sanctuary!

“Ding, dong, you’ve used the Building Spawn Rate card successfully!

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed a hundred million units of wood, stone, and iron ore to level up the Shadow Sanctuary. Currently, it’s at level two!

“Ding, dong…”

Li Cheng used the Building Spawn Rate card, pushing the level of the Shadow Sanctuary to its maximum.

[Shadow Sanctuary]

[Description: The training ground for the Shadow Assassins. It’s said that there’s a statue of the Shadow Dragon here. However, even the Shadow Assassins have never seen the real body of the Shadow Dragon.]

[Level: 10]

[Daily Output: 0/2,000]

[Production type: Shadow Assassin (level 11)]

[Production cost: 2,000 gold coins]

[Production time: 30 seconds]

[Upgrade requirement: Max Level]

Like all Legendary soldiers, he could only produce 2,000 Shadow Assassins per day. Li Cheng did not dawdle and immediately began the recruitment.

“Ding, dong, you’ve used up four hundred thousand gold coins and recruited two thousand Shadow Assassins!

“Ding, dong, you’ve successfully used the Army Spawn Rate card!

“Ding, dong, you’ve used up four hundred thousand gold coins and recruited two thousand Shadow Assassins!”

The recruitment card and the refresh card were used consecutively and the recruitment of 4,000 Shadow Assassins was successful. Immediately, a large group of light gray shadows appeared in front of Li Cheng. Only the cold daggers in their hands reflected with a faint cold light.

Even under the sunlight, the shadows of the Shadow Assassins were extremely hidden. Even if one were to look carefully, it would be very difficult to discover that they were permanently invisible. Li Cheng checked their attributes.

[Shadow Assassin]

[Description: Shadow Assassins from the Shadow World. They were just ordinary ghosts in the past. After they made up their minds to become the followers of the Shadow Dragon, they went through hellish training and became the top assassins in the world!]

[Level: 1]

[Attack: 620]

[Defense: 130]

[Grade: 11]

[Race: Ghost]

[HP: 9,000]

[Skill 1: Ghostly Concealment (level max)]

[Effect: The Shadow Assassins are permanently invisible. This invisibility effect cannot be detected by any items below Mythical-grade. Only when attacking an enemy, the Shadow Assassins will reveal themselves.]

[Skill 2: Shadow Pursuit (level max). The Shadow Assassin will lock onto an enemy and launch into an endless pursuit.]

[Effect: After the skill is activated, Shadow Assassin’s target locks onto an enemy. When attacking the enemy, the Shadow Assassin will automatically teleport behind the enemy.]

[Skill 3: Fatal Backstab (level 1)]

[Effect: when attacking the enemy from behind, critical rate +20%, critical damage +50%.]

[Morale: Max]

[Loyalty: Max]

[Food consumption: 200 crystals per day]

As an assassin class, the Shadow Assassin’s attack clearly exceeded the range of the average assassin. It was even higher than a level 11 Heavenly Knight. In comparison, its defense and HP were pitifully low, even lower than the Frost Marksmen. It could be said that it was a relatively extreme class.

The three skills were very practical. When combining Shadow Pursuit and Fatal Backstab, it was simply a nightmare for the back row. Even if an enemy’s mage had a flash skill, they could instantly appear behind the enemy’s back and deliver a fatal blow.

One had to know that Shadow Pursuit did not have a designated duration. As long as the Shadow Assassin locked onto an enemy, it would be a fight to the death. The only drawback was that it was too fragile and it could be easily killed by the enemy’s concentrated fire.

Overall, this Shadow Assassin was not bad. Whether it was attributes or skills, they were exactly the same as what he had seen on the forums in his previous life.

The only difference was that the Shadow Assassin’s morale and loyalty were maxed out. One had to know that the loyalty of the soldiers from the Shadow World was usually very low. However, when it came to Li Cheng, it was directly filled to the brim. He thought for a moment that this should have something to do with Lillian.

After checking the attributes of the Shadow Assassins and obtaining his recruitment authority, Li Cheng opened his backpack and looked at the Phantom Pearl that he had exchanged for.

[Phantom Pearl (Mythical)]

[Description: A pearl from the center of the Shadow World. It contains the origin power of the Shadow World.]

[Grade: Mythical Tier 2]

[Type: military equipment]

[Level: 1]

[Attribute 1. Military explosive damage +50%, evasion rate +50% (can only be equipped by a Shadow Assassin]

[Attribute 2. Enters the Shadow World after use. Restores 10% HP every second for 30 seconds. Cooldown time: 10 minutes (can only be equipped by a Shadow Assassin)]

[Attribute 3. Born Shadow]

[Effect: When attacking an enemy, soldiers will be invisible for 5 minutes. Cooldown time: 30 minutes (can only be equipped by a Shadow Assassin)]

Looking at the attributes of the Phantom Pearl, Li Cheng was very satisfied. As an equipment that was bound to the Shadow Assassins, the Phantom Pearl could be said to provide the Shadow Assassins with a lot of survivability. When the effects were added together, it was definitely the result of one plus one being greater than two.

At this moment, Li Cheng did not hesitate to place the Phantom Pearl into the Shadow Assassins’ equipment pane. Immediately, all the Shadow Assassins were enveloped by a light gray fog. The aura released from their bodies also became more dangerous, and if others were here, they would not be able to see the Shadow Assassins’ figures. This was the effect that Li Cheng wanted.

After returning to his own territory for less than five minutes, Li Cheng once again opened the passage to the Shadow World and entered it. He then handed these 4,000 Shadow Assassins over to Lillian to lead. A hero should not command just one branch of the army. With Lillian’s strength, commanding a few billion troops would not even be a problem!

Li Cheng was planning what he was going to do next.

The first plan was to continue earning points, empty the items in the event shop, and obtain Lillian’s equipment set.

The second was to complete the mission target of this large-scale event.

The third was to complete Profound Puppet 007’s hidden mission.

The fourth was to complete Lillian’s hero trial.
