380, a 57% increase, such high popularity? [Second update]_1

Dai Ben nodded, listening intently as Lin Yi continued:

"The injury enhancement from hot topics can only reach up to sixty percent at most. Although the limit isn't high, the good thing is that it's a permanent type of reward, and also, the opportunities for extraction are unlimited."

"Senior, how can I tell whether the words I draw belong to the category of hot topics or not?"

Dai Ben noticed a problem.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "This is easy to distinguish. If the sticker is red, it belongs to the hot topics; if it's white, it belongs to normal words, and even on the back of the sticker, it will display how much additional damage this hot topic word brings."

"I need to emphasize that the enhancement from the hot topic words is directly related to the status on Blue Planet in real-time. It's possible that the enhancement from the hot topic word you draw is fifty percent now, but the next time it might be thirty percent because the popularity of this hot topic has decreased on Blue Planet."

"Of course, there's also the possibility that the popularity increases."

"One last thing, if you don't use the drawn stickers, they will only last for ten minutes."

After thinking it over, Lin Yi believed he had detailed every aspect highlighted in the reward notation.

Dai Ben bowed with his hands clasped, "I think I understand now, Senior Lin Yi. I will use this reward during the second attack, both as an offensive move and a demonstration to everyone."

Lin Yi nodded, signaling his permission.

He picked up the red orb of light in his hand and flicked it in Dai Ben's direction.

After merging with the reward, Dai Ben suddenly clasped his head, afflicted with a splitting headache, as an enormous influx of words bombarded his mind.

The pain subsided in just a moment, returning to normal.

"So many feelings..."

Dai Ben muttered in slight astonishment; then looking at Lin Yi, he hesitated and asked, "Senior… shall I start the second attack now?"

Lin Yi nodded, "You can draw a hot topic word first to see what the enhancement is, then decide what kind of damage-dealing attack you need to release."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior!"

Dai Ben extended his hand forward in the shape of scissors, and his two fingers suddenly turned gold. Soon, the scissor hand closed, and a sticker appeared in his palm!

Hmm, white?

Dai Ben felt a tinge of disappointment, signifying he did not draw a hot topic.

Let's see what it says… Dai Ben flipped the white sticker over, and it read "White Cloud".

So this is what they mean by normal words... turns out they're really just ordinary words, huh?

Dai Ben tossed the white sticker onto the ground, where it quickly turned into light points and vanished.

He continued with the scissor hand motion, drawing another sticker.

It's red!

Which means it's a hot topic!

[Qigong Horse Transformation]

Dai Ben glanced at it, then flipped it to check the enhancement—only twenty-five percent... Maybe wait a bit longer and draw a couple more.

Although the stickers would disappear after ten minutes if not used, it didn't matter since he could draw an unlimited number of times.

Continue!

This time, Dai Ben was pleasantly surprised to find another hot topic sticker.

[Please Jeff, no]

Enhancement: thirty-five percent.

Hmm, quite a bit higher than the last one… Dai Ben hesitated for a moment before deciding to draw another one to see.

He reached out with the scissor hand once more, clamping onto another red sticker!

The probability of hitting a hot topic really was high, Dai Ben felt joy inside; it seemed he didn't have to worry about wasting stickers at all.

This time, because of the angle at which he was holding it, he saw the enhancement on the back first.

What?! Fifty-seven percent?!

"The highest is just 60 percent?!"

"What's this hot catchphrase?"

Dai Ben hurriedly flipped it over.

[Labor Day Outing]

These are all hot catchphrases I don't understand... but this bonus is really high!

The Senior said it's linked to real-time popularity on the Blue Planet, it looks like this hot catchphrase is really trending over there.

No need to think about it, I'll use this sticker!

He resolutely placed the sticker that read "Labor Day Outing" on his forehead, instantly feeling a warm power coursing through his body.

When Lin Yi saw the text on the sticker, he was taken aback for a moment.

He asked, "How much of a bonus?"

Dai Ben excitedly said, "Fifty-seven percent!"

Lin Yi also raised his eyebrows in surprise; with that said, the popularity must be really high, so is the Blue Planet currently celebrating Labor Day?

But that can't be right... It shouldn't be that high, after all, the damage bonus depends on two important factors: real-time popularity and the time it's been widespread.

Considering these two factors, the bonus reaching fifty-seven percent means to Lin Yi there's only one catchphrase that could reach that level, and it is related to words like "middle part," "two and a half years," "overalls," "just because," "chicken feet"... and so on.

Clearly, "Labor Day Outing" must have a near-zero spread time since it must have just happened.

That can only mean its real-time popularity is off the charts, even exceeding the comprehensive influence of my brother at this time...

After affixing the hot catchphrase sticker on his forehead, Dai Ben quickly decided on the skills that would work well with it; that would be the White Tiger meteor shower, the White Tiger meteor shower that didn't require Tyrant Body and real body coordination!

"Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger meteor shower!"

As a ring of purple Soul Rings rose upward, the sky suddenly filled with white-hot "stars," which magnified one by one and fell at high speed, soon producing deafening whizzing sounds in midair.

All the meteor showers converged and slammed towards Lin Yi's direction.

During the ten or so seconds of the attack, Lin Yi sat immovable as a mountain, expression unchanged as he withstood the collision of each meteor shower, his body seemingly enveloped in an invisible layer of Gang Qi.

After the attack ended, there was a moment of peace around him, suddenly followed by the surge of golden energy waves.

Looking at the Damage Rebound, the "Labor Day Outing" sticker on Dai Ben's forehead turned into specks of light and vanished; he immediately stuck the "Bro, Please Don't" sticker on his forehead.

Thirty-five percent bonus!

"White Tiger Demon God Transformation!"

"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

Dai Ben rapidly released two skills; under the Tyrant Body bonus, a thick beam of light with a purple glow demolished the Damage Rebound.

Afterward, the "Bro, Please Don't" sticker also disappeared into specks of light.

Dai Ben looked at the "Qigong Horse Transformation" in his hand, this one was no longer useful, ten minutes were almost up.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood loss: 346,789]

[Remaining health: 899,885,106,437]

[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]

[Random Reward: Black Panther Battle Armor Second Generation]

[Host Reward: Black Panther Battle Armor Second Generation x3]

Just by looking at the name of the rewards, Lin Yi knew what this was, no need to look at the annotations.

He said to Dai Ben, "Damage 346,789, Red Intermediate Level, your reward is the Black Panther Battle Armor Second Generation."

"As the name implies, this is a set of battle armor, and it's made of a special metal, called Vibration Gold."
