BXBX NOVEL Chapter 458: 255 Catastrophe of Becoming a God_2

…
This is a brief overview of Dean’s attributes.
How to describe these attributes? Just one word, extremely exaggerated!
“This game is quite fun!”
Yes, Dean was treating this trial as a resource management game.
He was having a good time. After returning, while looking at the attribute panel, he was munching on the Divine Power fruits.
While eating the fruits, Dean discovered something interesting about this game, or rather, this trial. The Divine Power wasn’t restored proportionately to how much was depleted.
No matter how much divine power was depleted, Dean could instantly recover from the Divine Power Deficiency State and restore his attributes by eating just one Divine Power fruit.
After eating 30 fruits, Dean’s Divine Power increased to 300, and he immediately upgraded the cabin’s level.
[You consumed 30 Divine Power fruits, your Divine Power increased to 300 points!]
[You consumed 300 Wood, 100 Stone, 300 Divine Power, your cabin level increased to Level 4!]
[You consumed 40 Divine Power fruits, your Divine Power increased to 400 points!]
[You consumed 400 Wood, 200 Stone, 400 Divine Power, your cabin level increased to Level 5!]
[You consumed 50 Divine Power fruits, your Divine Power increased to 500 points!]
[You consumed 1000 Wood, 500 Stone, 100 Iron, 500 Divine Power, your cabin increased to Level 6!]
…
Starting from Cabin Level 6, the required materials for cabin upgrades began to increase.
But Dean wasn’t worried since he had plenty of resources.
At most, he would deplete all the Divine Power fruits and then wait in the cabin.
After all, after the cabin reached level 6, the Divine Power recovery rate was 60 points per hour.
Moreover, Dean also had 34 treasure chests.
When he was bored, Dean would open these treasure chests one by one.
The 34 treasure chests gave Dean a lot of resources.
With the resources from the treasure chests and the resources within a radius of 5 kilometers.
Dean, in merely a day, managed to upgrade the cabin to Level 9!
As Dean McKenzie’s wooden cabin leveled up to level 9, a system prompt echoed throughout the entire ‘Path to Becoming a God’ instance.
[Notice: A player has leveled up his wooden cabin to level 9, triggering the Catastrophe of Becoming a God. An instance-wide beast tide will commence. Players will face beast tides of different difficulties based on the level of their wooden cabin. Rewards will be given for surviving the beast tide, which will increase the instance reward evaluation score!]
This system message sent all the players in the Path to Becoming a God instance into a state of confusion.
“What the hell? Someone leveled the cabin up to 9?”
“No way, I thought my talent was already unbeatable. I didn’t expect someone to level the cabin up to 9 in just one day. He’s simply inhuman!”
“Humph, what’s the use of leveling up the cabin so quickly? The most important thing in this instance is to survive. Now he has attracted a level 9 Catastrophe of Becoming a God. I can’t wait to see if he can survive this overwhelming beast tide.”
“I don’t know if that guy can survive, but I know if I don’t get prepared quickly, I might not make it!”
After their initial disbelief and astonishment at the system prompt, the players urgently began strengthening their defenses in anticipation of the upcoming Catastrophe of Becoming a God.
Dean McKenzie also upgraded his fence to level 9.
Then, he eagerly waited for the incoming beast tide.
By this point, Dean had already tried out extracting from the monsters in this instance.
So far, Dean has extracted monsters from level 1 up to level 9.
He was able to extract 50 million attribute points and a Demigod Template Fragment from each monster.
In just one day, Dean had already accumulated 15 billion attribute points and 30 Demigod Template Fragments.
If there weren’t so few monsters, Dean would have considered abandoning the cabin altogether and focus solely on hunting monsters.
Originally, Dean had put his hope in the monster tides that occur every three days, but he hadn’t expected such a pleasant surprise when the cabin reached level 9.
“I wonder how many beasts will be in this tide!”
While Dean was looking forward to it, the system didn’t keep him waiting for too long.
About half an hour later, the beast tide arrived!
Due to the fog, Dean couldn’t see how many beasts there were, but from the density of the horde, he knew there were plenty.
Dean joyously began his monster eradication spree.
With a sweep of his spiritual power, all the beasts emerging from the fog were put to death, and a flood of system prompts appeared.
[You have killed a level 9 monster]
[You have extracted from a level 9 monster, gaining 50 million attribute points and one Demigod Template Fragment]
…
The system prompts flooded in, but they couldn’t keep up with the speed of Dean’s monster cleansing.
In less than 3 minutes, the so-called beast tide was already gone.
[You have survived the first wave of the Catastrophe of Becoming a God. You have received a Catastrophe of Becoming a God Treasure Chest!]
“What? That’s it?”
Dean felt a bit disappointed as he looked at his current earnings.
His total extracted attributes had reached 65 billion, and he had gathered 130 templates. Clearly, there had been only 100 monsters in this wave.
The small number of monsters had left Dean feeling unsatisfied.
“Who do they think they’re looking down on? This is all they’re sending? How is this few enough for anyone to hunt? Damn it, bring on another wave!”
Without even bothering to open the treasure chest, Dean once again emerged from the cabin and swept through the resources within a 10-mile radius, then began to level up the cabin again.
It took him half a day to upgrade the cabin from level 9 to level 12.
As soon as the cabin reached level 12, the system prompt refreshed again!
[Notice: A player has leveled up his wooden cabin to level 12, triggering the Catastrophe of Becoming a God. An instance-wide beast tide will commence. Players will face beast tides of different difficulties based on the level of their wooden cabin. Rewards will be given for surviving the beast tide, which will increase the instance reward evaluation score!]
When the same system prompt echoed again throughout the ‘Path to Becoming a God’ instance, the faces of all the players inside turned black.
“No way, I just survived the Catastrophe of Becoming a God and barely got my strength back, and now you’re coming again!”
“Damn, why didn’t the last Catastrophe of Becoming a God kill that guy!”
“So they’re coming, huh? Well, bring it on. I want to see who’s afraid of whom!”
…
Regardless of the howls or roars of the players, the second wave of the Catastrophe of Becoming a God arrived as expected.
Compared to the last wave, this one posed a much larger challenge to the players. They had just fought off one wave and were mostly in a state of exhaustion.
Many couldn’t handle another wave coming so quickly, including participant 666.
Even though he possesses an omnipotent talent, it’s growth-oriented and he was simply incapable of handling such a challenge.
All he could see in front of him were dead ends.
Thus, in the second wave, this player who possessed an immensely powerful talent fell… in despair and powerlessness.
