nAfter thinking for a long time and still not getting any clue, Ji Chen had to temporarily put aside this nonsensical matter. Regardless, the ghost ship did not follow them, perhaps it was just randomly choosing to follow passing creatures.

nNow, he had more important things to do—raising the tier of his heroes.

nEven though Ji Chen already had many heroes, some of them even legendary and just a step below the epic tier, with an impressive total of two such heroes, which would amaze any player, he still felt it wasn’t sufficient.

nThinking back on the challenging months he had endured, Ji Chen had encountered foes ranging from lowly tier 2 kobolds to the formidable Bass Kingdom.

nHe had already gained a preliminary understanding of the Bass Kingdom’s strength—hundreds of steel warships and tens of thousands of soldiers, a force capable of sweeping the Crown of the Ocean. Even though his own strength was not considered low at this point, he still couldn’t resist such power.

nNot to mention that behind these sea-like soldiers, there were unknown numbers and strengths of hero units.

nJi Chen found it hard to believe that in a kingdom as ancient and expansive as the Bass Kingdom, there were no heroes to be found. There were rumors that the king of the Bass Kingdom was a formidable legendary figure who had seized the throne through sheer strength.

nIn a nation that revered strength, how could they not nurture a batch of hero units?

nThe Crown of the Ocean needed to become even stronger.

nAnd heroes with extraordinary combat abilities were one of the key factors.

nEven Alice, who was only at the legacy tier, could rival thousands upon thousands of enemies with her unique telekinetic abilities. Her combat prowess was equivalent to half a legion on her own.

nNot to mention Verena and Herald, who were even more formidable.

nA sufficiently powerful hero possessed the power to change the course of battle, and this was no empty talk.

nWithout hesitation, he opened the military talent tree and found the interface for hero enhancement.

nAlice, Benbo, Herald, and the names of other heroes appeared one by one. The higher the tier of the hero, the more resources were needed to upgrade, starting with a large amount of rare resources from the purple rare tier.

nJi Chen looked at the strings of numbers on the screen and couldn’t help but be shocked.

nHalf-Orc Hero: Daro (Blue Excellent Tier -> Purple Rare Tier) requires 60,000 units of rare resources.

nMerfolk Hero: Benbo Erba (Purple Rare Tier -> Red Legacy Tier) requires 500,000 units of rare resources and 1,000 Dragon Blood Crystals.

nSiren Hero: Alice (Red Legacy Tier — Orange Legendary Tier) requires 4.5 million units.

nDaro needing 60,000 units of rare resources to upgrade to the purple rare tier made sense to him. Benbo needing 500,000 to reach the red legacy tier was also understandable. But for Alice to ascend to the orange legendary tier, it required a whopping 4.5 million units of rare resources?

nWere legendary tiers really this expensive?

nThe corner of Ji Chen’s mouth twitched, and his gaze towards Herald changed as well. Just thinking about the deep sea naga’s original bloodline given to him by Yasen, it was getting hard to hold back.

nHe had been given millions of units of rare resources for free.

n1 need to thank you.

nIf upgrading to the orange legendary tier was this terrifyingly expensive, how much would it take to reach the even higher epic tier?

nJi Chen opened Herald’s page and stared at the string of zeroes. It left him somewhat numb.

nThe first digit was a 6, followed by seven zeros.

nIn other words, for Herald, who was already at the orange legendary tier, to upgrade to the epic tier, he would need a whopping 60 million units of rare resources, more than ten times what Alice required.

nSuch a staggering amount, he wondered how many years it would take to collect.

nEpic tier experts were currently the most top-notch figures in the world, each one a leader in their respective forces. The difference between forces with epic-tier experts and those without was like night and day.

nA high-level epic-tier expert could make tens of thousands of troops hesitate to make a move and could deal with multiple legendary-tier experts.

nSo, with Thotmudo guarding the Crown of the Ocean for the time being, it could be said that his territory’s defense is incredibly secure.

nThinking about this, Ji Chen felt somewhat relieved.

nAt present, Thotmudo, a level 78 epic tier hero, had a request for him—to use his power to gather the dwarves and revive the dwarven race, a mission of the “S” rank.

nSo, when the Crown of the Ocean was invaded, he wouldn’t just stand by.

nHe had to stabilize the situation first.

nAfter a moment of contemplation, Ji Chen decided to upgrade Benbo first.

nWith a thought, a faint column of light, as if from the void, enveloped the Murloc hero.

nOver ten minutes later, as the golden light gradually dissipated, Benbo’s figure also reappeared, exuding an even more formidable aura that startled the surrounding Dragon Blood Murlocs.

n“Ding- Consumed 440,000 units of rare resources, 1,000 Dragon Blood Crystals, Benbo’s tier has been upgraded to the red legacy tier.”
