"...Matthew Fragment?" Wen Nan heard this, lowered his head to look at the golden control pattern in his palm. The Divine Staff Fragments he currently knows about have his own Replication Fragment and Yu Shujun’s Transfer Fragment. You can tell what function the fragments have just from their names. Then, this Matthew Fragment... Wen Nan knows about the Matthew Effect, which refers to the phenomenon where the strong get stronger, originating from a verse in the Gospel of Matthew: Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. If we infer based on this description, this fragment should be a... fragment with an enhancement effect? Sure enough, Yang Mingzhong continued, "The most powerful aspect of this fragment is that it can enhance the effects of any skill, attribute, equipment, or item for the player, and this enhancement effect grows exponentially with the level or value of the skill or attribute. "For example, a level 2 skill, the Matthew Fragment can enhance it by 2 times, maintaining it at a level 4 effect. A level 4 skill, the Matthew Fragment can enhance it by 4 times, maintaining it at a level 16 effect. "In other words, this fragment can make the strong even stronger. For players specializing in a certain skill or attribute, this will be an immensely terrifying aid. "And unfortunately, as far as I know, that man is the kind of player who specializes in a specific skill—his main skill [Puppet String] has already reached level 7, and with the blessing of the Matthew Fragment, the effect is directly enhanced to level 49. "Currently, in the entire game world, the known highest level is only Gold Rank level 20, and players only start having main skills upon entering Bronze Rank. So far, no player’s main skill level exceeds 15. A level 49 main skill... is like dropping a modern weapon in the cold weapon era. "I have not seen what the [Puppet String] looks like after that person adds the full effects of the Matthew Fragment, but even if they only use ten percent of its ability, when they release the [Puppet String], the air in front of them seems like their weapon. "Many people, just standing complete and unharmed before him one moment, would be sliced into countless pieces by invisible strings the next. No matter how high your armor is, you can’t escape this fate." Listening to Yang Mingzhong’s description, Hu Jiayao beside him showed an uncontrollable look of fear in his eyes. He gulped nervously, "A Gold Rank coming to this mid-level instance to bully us was already going too far, and now they have such a fragment! How are we supposed to play then? If we meet him head-on, won’t we turn to sashimi in seconds?!" Yang Mingzhong looked at Hu Jiayao again with an incredulous expression, "You’ve fought him before, didn’t you notice anything?" Hu Jiayao scratched the back of his head, "The situation was urgent then, and I rushed to help you. Besides, after only a few moves, that person disappeared, so I didn’t even have time to realize how strong the opponent was..." Yang Mingzhong nodded, thought about it, and felt it understandable, "Currently, this mid-level instance has quite a strong limitation on his skills. When I encountered him before, I estimated he only used about twenty percent of his capability. "However, this does not necessarily mean the instance has such a strong suppressing effect on him now. It was the first time he recognized me back then, and I think his mind was quite shaken, so he didn’t use his full strength. "Next time we meet, I suppose he won’t hold back." Upon hearing this, Hu Jiayao’s face darkened a bit. Last time, he only used twenty percent of his ability, and the two of them together almost had no chance to escape. So what next time? Thinking of this, Hu Jiayao took a deep breath, looked at Wen Nan, "President, let’s find the Queen as soon as possible. It’s too dangerous for the Queen with this monster in the instance! During the next mission, if that person targets the Queen, I’ll risk my life to divert him while you take the Queen and escape as far as possible!" Wen Nan was startled, then said in an indifferent tone, "It’s alright, the Queen is temporarily very safe." Hu Jiayao was stunned for a moment, then realized that with his reaction speed, what he just thought of doing is probably something the President had already realized and arranged for. He didn’t need to worry about it at all... Thinking of this, Hu Jiayao awkwardly chuckled, said "oh," and decided to stop worrying and just follow the President. After chatting among a few people and exchanging the detailed information collected earlier, unknowingly, it had already passed midnight. Wen Nan glanced at the sky outside the car window and stood up, "It’s about time to settle." After sending off Hu Jiayao and Yang Mingzhong, Wen Nan lifted Guan Ailin onto the table, grabbed her slender ankle, and raised one of her legs up, "Let me see, did the refresh point start a red alert yet?" Guan Ailin lightly stepped on Wen Nan’s waist and abdomen with her other foot, urging him to enter the refresh point quickly and stop teasing her. The next moment, a soft moan escaped from Guan Ailin’s throat. [Player detected entering the refresh point early] [Now entering main quest settlement time...] [All players, please take your positions] [Player Ye Jiu, please confirm your identity] Wen Nan pressed firmly and skillfully on the [Confirm] button. [Player Ye Jiu, the main quest settlement for this instance is as follows: Completion Status: Completed; Mission Score: 100 points; Mission Rating: Excellent; Extra Reward: Strategy Character Card (Single Use); Live Broadcast Room Popularity Settlement: 59,851 Gold Coins; Live Broadcast Room Betting Settlement: Pending (Involving identity faction information unlock, will be settled uniformly upon the end of the clearance); Live Broadcast Room Tip Settlement: 21,382 Gold Coins; Account Balance: 1,110,862 Gold Coins.] After all, it was the main quest content he personally input, earning an excellent rating with a perfect score, which was entirely expected. However, he didn’t expect to receive an extra reward for completing a task through "cheating" ? ... Strategy Character Card? Does that mean he can finally strategize characters again? This instance removed the core game feature of character strategizing to ensure factional confrontation, which made Wen Nan feel somewhat frustrated, like Lu Bu without the Fangtian Halberd, Guan Yu without the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, Sun Wukong without the Ruyi Jingu Bang. To Wen Nan, the most important thing almost had no place to shine. And now, with this Strategy Card, can his most skilled part finally return? With excitement, Wen Nan tensed his waist and abdominal muscles and precisely struck the [Strategy Character Card].
