Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 887 -

Upon reaching the milestone of slaying 2,000 monsters, each one's attributes had seen a staggering 200-fold increase.

Even the most common Source Beasts, typically considered trash, now boasted attribute values exceeding twenty thousand. Concurrently, the temporary attribute boosts afforded to Chen Mo and Sun Wu were rapidly nearing their expiration.

Once these enhancements waned, the question would shift from their ability to defeat the beasts to whether they themselves could survive the onslaught.

Recognizing this imminent danger, they prudently decided to halt their offensive.

Consequently, after a final tally of 12,000 Source Beasts of various tiers felled within the Time Secret Region, their destructive spree concluded.

A fortunate consequence of dispatching the Secret Realm's Master was a doubled yield for their efforts.

Chen Mo, however, experienced an additional doubling of his gains.

Sun Wu secured temporary survival time equivalent to defeating 24,000 diverse Source Beasts, but half of this boon was allocated to Chen Mo.

This sharing arrangement resulted in Sun Wu's final personal gain being equivalent to that of defeating 12,000 Source Beasts.

His total accumulated temporary survival time reached an impressive 1,256,900 minutes, largely attributed to the significant contribution of numerous high-tier Source Beasts.

Without these elite monsters, even eliminating 100,000 ordinary beasts would only accumulate 1,000,000 minutes.

Their time within the secret realm, though substantial, did not surpass 100 minutes, even after this brief period was accounted for.

This staggering total of 1,256,800 minutes of temporary survival time could be converted into 12,568 minutes of standard survival time.

This translated to approximately 209 hours of regular survival time.

Within the second layer of the Tower of Eternity, where 36 hours constitute a day, this equated to roughly 6 days of accumulated survival time.

However, this valuable survival time was rarely converted directly. Instead, it served as a crucial form of currency for bartering with the Time Elder.

Some individuals even leveraged their basic survival time to bolster their transactional power with the Time Elder.

In the absence of dire circumstances or the threat of death, no one would foolishly trade permanent survival time for temporary gains.

Such a transaction represented a clear and significant loss, rendering it quite impractical.

Even without any extraordinary bonuses, Sun Wu amassed a base of 12,568 minutes.

Chen Mo's personal haul, however, dwarfed this figure.

Primarily, while Sun Wu's yield was boosted by 100% after defeating the Secret Realm Master, Chen Mo's enhancement was a substantial 200%.

This meant Sun Wu, already benefiting from a limited pool of survival time, only realized a 200% increase.

Chen Mo, conversely, not only accumulated more survival time than Sun Wu thanks to his enhancement card but also benefited from a 300% yield.

The disparity between their earnings was undeniably vast, considering both factors.

Crucially, Chen Mo's Double Yield Card did not necessitate sharing its amplified gains with Sun Wu; only the original yield was subject to division.

Therefore, Chen Mo's calculation for temporary survival time from vanquishing various Source Beasts stood at [6000 + 12000] × [3].

The figure 6000 represents the base kill count, halved as per the agreement, while 12000 signifies the doubled yield from the Yield Card.

The final multiplier of ×3 encompasses the original yield, the Secret Realm Master's doubled yield, and an additional yield derived from the Yield Card amplifying the Master's bounty.

As a result, Chen Mo ultimately secured gains equivalent to 4.5 times Sun Wu's earnings.

This translated to Chen Mo's personal temporary survival time yield amounting to an astonishing 5,655,600 minutes.

When converted to standard survival time, Chen Mo alone had accrued a remarkable 26 days' worth.

It was, by all accounts, a significant windfall.

"Kid, you must have reaped immense profits with that Double Yield Card in play; I'm absolutely green with envy!" Sun Wu exclaimed upon returning to the central area, casting a look of profound envy towards Chen Mo.

Chen Mo responded with a humble smile, "It wasn't much, really. Just a small gain, a tiny bit."

"Let's proceed with exchanging our rewards then," Sun Wu suggested with a grin.

"You go first," Chen Mo replied with customary politeness.

Sun Wu immediately chuckled, "No need for that. We can perform the exchange together. Simply approach the Time Elder, and the Heavenly Path interface will present the available exchange options provided by the Time Elder for this occasion."

Upon hearing Sun Wu's explanation, Chen Mo stepped forward and made contact with the Time Elder.

As expected, a prompt from the Heavenly Path immediately appeared.

[Heavenly Path Notification: You are engaging in a transaction with the Time Elder. This particular Time Secret Region's Time Elder has presented several transaction options for your consideration; please review them at your convenience.]

The interface of the Heavenly Path underwent an immediate transformation.

Chen Mo observed that a considerable number of trading options with the Time Elder were now visible.

Among these, the most captivating option was the enhancement for growth value.

Chen Mo eagerly clicked to investigate this particular choice.

Good heavens, the cost nearly made him collapse!

The exchange rate for increasing growth value was extraordinarily steep. A staggering 1,000,000 units of temporary survival time could only elevate one's growth value by a mere 10%.

"Is this growth value really this costly?"

Sun Wu responded with a smile, shaking his head. "Costly? Trading 10,000 minutes of survival time for a mere 10% growth value is something most Lords of the Cosmos would vie for. It's genuinely not expensive at all; in fact, it's quite fair. The challenge lies in accumulating 1,000,000 minutes of temporary survival time, which isn't easily achieved. Not every team that enters the Time Secret Region can farm as comfortably as we did.

The mere struggle against the Master of the Secret Realm within the Time Secret Region is enough to stump the vast majority of Lords of the Cosmos.

Our ability to effortlessly defeat the Master of the Secret Realm, akin to slaughtering chickens, was entirely due to your ample stockpile of temporary attribute enhancement light clusters.

Otherwise, the Master of the Secret Realm alone would have presented a significant hurdle."

"That makes sense." Chen Mo's face lit up, and he quickly calculated that with 5,000,000 minutes of temporary survival time in his possession, he could directly exchange for a staggering 50% growth value.

What a substantial profit this would be.

Then, Chen Mo remembered the Growth Origin Pill he possessed.

"By the way, Brother Sun Wu, the description of the Growth Origin Pill I obtained before entering the secret realm states its effect doubles based on my initial growth value. So, the growth value acquired from the Time Elder shouldn't be factored into that calculation, correct?"

"You are absolutely right. Generally speaking, within the Sea of Cosmos, any permanent percentage increase to growth value is calculated based on your initial growth value. No exceptions have been noted thus far."

Chen Mo nodded and immediately selected the probability enhancement option.

Sun Wu had previously mentioned that the Time Elder could assist in enhancing certain probabilistic events before they entered the secret realm.

Chen Mo decisively opted to enhance the 25% success rate for the attribute increase after consuming the Growth Origin Pill, thereby guaranteeing a 100% success rate for the consumption.

Upon making his selection, the Heavenly Path interface promptly displayed the offer presented by the Time Elder.

The cost for each 1% increase in probability was 10,000 minutes of temporary survival time. Such a steep price of 250,000 minutes of temporary survival time for a 25% chance was undeniably exorbitant.

However, when compared to the potential gains, these 250,000 minutes of temporary survival time seemed rather insignificant to Chen Mo.

He promptly confirmed the exchange.

With the Heavenly Path interface confirming the successful exchange, Chen Mo revisited the description of his Growth Origin Pill.

Indeed, the description for the Growth Origin Pill had been updated immediately following the transaction.

[Growth Origin Pill]: Upon consumption, your growth value will double based on your initial growth value.

"Now, I can finally consume it with complete peace of mind."

Chen Mo directly ingested the Growth Origin Pill, whose chance of success had just been upgraded to 100%.

As the Growth Origin Pill was swallowed, it instantly transformed into a surging energy within Chen Mo's stomach. From that point, it erupted with incredibly potent energy, akin to nuclear fission, permeating his entire body, every limb, and even extending into his soul and the Origin Universe!

This intense process occurred with suddenness and concluded just as abruptly.

Chen Mo experienced a profound elevation, affecting his physical being, his soul, and his Origin Universe, before the riotous energy within his abdomen was completely assimilated.

The sensation of boundless power that had filled his body vanished without a trace.

What remained was a palpable sense of Chen Mo's attributes having significantly evolved and transformed.

At that very moment, the Heavenly Path's notification also chimed in promptly.

[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Congratulations on successfully consuming the Growth Origin Pill. Your initial growth value has increased by 100%. Your current growth value is 200.]
