Monster Paradise

Chapter 1690: Three Goldfingers

After seeing his Sword Servants off, Lin Huang set up barriers in the hotel before he began making an inventory of the spoils he had obtained from his earlier battle.

First on the list were the nine bodies of the Raiders’ investigators.
There were three upper-rank Lords and six middle-rank Lords.
Unfortunately, Cunning Rabbit was not among them.

It was not clear whether his identity as a spy had been exposed and he was afraid of retribution from the Club, or for some other reason, but Cunning Rabbit had not come to the great world with Nine Snake and the other investigators this time.

However, Lin Huang had committed his codename to memory.

If not for this spy, the Raiders might not have taken notice of Lin Huang for a very long time.

Now that the Raiders’ team of nine investigators had been completely wiped out, the Raiders’ headquarters in the universe would certainly have made note of Lin Huang’s name, even if he was under Royal’s protection.

Lin Huang had initially intended to stay under the radar as long as he could and try to develop himself further while trying his best to avoid being noticed by the Raiders.

After all, there were many powerhouses among the Raiders and no lack of terrifying entities above Lord-level.

Even though Lin Huang possessed the abilities of an ultimate-rank Lord, he was still afraid of this organization.

After removing the equipment and storage rings from the nine corpses, Lin Huang checked through the bodies carefully, then extracted the Kingdoms from all of them.

Only after doing all this did he begin to examine the Goldfingers he had managed to plunder.

Regretfully, out of the nine, only three possessed Goldfingers.

The reason was that only three of them were travelers.

Nine Snake, the most powerful of them all, was not a traveler.
Instead, like Virtuoso’s Primordium, he was a reincarnated being.

As for the rest, they were reincarnated beings and regenerated beings.

Even Silver, the upper-rank Lord, was a mechanoid.

Respectively, the three Goldfingers came from the short, burly, bald man, the white-robed Priest, and the plump man who was the most powerful damage dealer.

The short, burly, bald man’s Goldfinger was a drop of golden liquid.

He had named it Pure Golden Blood.

As for its effects, it integrated blood from various sources, extracting the body’s energy from within the blood itself to strengthen his physical body.

The more types of blood integrated, and the higher the rank and level, the more effectively the physical body could be strengthened.

For Lin Huang, this was actually quite useful.

Currently, his physical body was his weakest aspect.

Although he had refined Black Mountain’s Goldfinger, the Tiny Golden Man, his current physical strength was only upper-rank lord-level.

After understanding the information on the Pure Golden Blood, Lin Huang did not take long to come up with how he subsequently wished to operate it and utilize it.

The second Goldfinger came from the white-robed Priest.

His Goldfinger was a golden particle of light which he had named the Holy Light.

The sense that the Goldfinger gave off to Lin Huang was one of nothingness.

He observed it with Divine Telekinesis for a while and realized that it was actually a photon.

He did not know what mysterious changes had occurred to transform it into a Goldfinger.

This Goldfinger’s function was also very extreme.

The photon could convert all kinds of energy into the form of light, which would then give them the properties of light.
This included Divine Power, Odyl, and even Abyssal energy… the Goldfinger could absorb and convert them all.

It could be considered a highly unconventional Goldfinger.

Lin Huang felt that this Goldfinger was an extremely simplified version of the Eternity Fire within him.

Practically all of this Goldfinger’s functions could be fulfilled by the Eternity Fire.

As far as Lin Huang was concerned, it was of no use to him at all.

After setting the Holy Light aside, Lin Huang looked at the third Goldfinger—the one from the plump Lord.

This Goldfinger was a metal hammer the size of a human palm.

It was dark purple and covered with sigils.

Lin Huang casually picked it up and checked it out with his God’s soul.
He could not keep the hint of a smile from showing on his face.

“This is good stuff!”

Despite having plundered so many Goldfingers from the Raiders, this was the first time he had given an evaluation like this.

Although the Goldfinger was shaped like a hammer, it was not a weapon.

Its function was to generate random critical hits.

However, this Goldfinger was actually not very useful in the initial stages of utilization.

In the first stage, its effect could range from 0 to 10 times the damage.

The critical index might very well randomly appear as 0, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001… any of these were possible.

In other words, not only would the Goldfinger not generate a critical hit, but it would also weaken or even nullify the user’s attack.
It could weaken the strike to one-hundredth or one-thousandth of its regular damage or even reduce the damage to absolute zero.

Furthermore, the smaller the index, the higher the probability of this happening.

Therefore, at this stage, the Goldfinger was a massive resource sink.

When it got to the second stage, its effect would increase—it would now range from 1 to 20 times the damage.

At this stage, the Goldfinger would finally stop being such a massive resource sink.

The plump Lord had cultivated this Goldfinger to stage three.

Its current effect was 2 to 30 times the damage.

In other words, critical hits of at least two times the damage would be generated in each attack, with the maximum effect being thirty times the damage.

That was why the plump Lord’s ability to deal damage was the most powerful among the six middle-rank Raider Lords.

Having this Goldfinger in his possession completely dispelled Lin Huang’s initial disappointment at only being able to obtain three Goldfingers.

This Goldfinger had only boosted the plump Lord’s close-range damage-dealing abilities by just a little.

However, with Lin Huang, it was an entirely different story.

Each of his hundreds upon millions of Divine Telekinesis flying daggers would be boosted with critical hits.

Hundreds upon millions of Divine Telekinesis flying daggers all attacking en masse—just the thought of it was terrifying.

Most importantly, this Goldfinger still possessed space for continued upgrades.

All he had to do was to refine more Goldfingers.

This also piqued Lin Huang’s interest in hunting Raiders.

Setting the two other Goldfingers aside, Lin Huang immediately began refining the hammer-shaped Goldfinger.

With the Goldfinger’s cooperation, he completed the refining process in less than ten minutes.

Lin Huang then turned his attention to the drop of Pure Golden Blood and rapidly refined this second Goldfinger as well.

As for the “Holy Light”, he gave the matter some thought and ultimately decided to feed it to the “Critical Hit Hammer”.

After all, this item was too extreme.
If he gave it to Lin Xin, it might cause her cultivation path to deviate.

After the Critical Hit Hammer integrated with the “Holy Light”, it immediately went into deep sleep mode.

Lin Huang had not anticipated this at all.
If nothing else, the critical hit effect he wanted could not be achieved while the Critical Hit Hammer was in deep sleep.
He had no choice but to wait for it to finish digesting.

He then checked on the status of the drop of Pure Golden Blood in his body and discovered that it did not clash with the Tiny Golden Man.
Not only that, it was rapidly strengthening his physical body.

Not very long later, Lin Huang’s initial ordinary upper-rank lord-level physical strength elevated all the way to peak upper-rank lord-level.

However, it stopped at upper-rank lord-level and refused to elevate any further.

Lin Huang raised his eyebrows lightly.
This was entirely within the realm of his expectations.

After all, the short, burly, bald man’s physical strength had only been peak upper-rank lord-level before receiving a complete boost.

Furthermore, Lin Huang had already decided on how to elevate his physical strength after this.
