Unique Class Advancement Quest

Qin Chuan firmly refused to admit Di Jia Ling Yu's accusation.

What did she mean, he was a master at making empty promises?

Was he that kind of person? That was slander—pure slander!

After chatting with Di Jia Ling Yu for a few more moments, he asked her to pass word to Ji Xing and Yingluo Yezakura. They could not continue fighting here for the time being, so they should take the rest of the guild members back first. As for the set of epic equipment he had promised, he would make good on it once he was done with his business.

As for who had won this match, the guild members could discuss it and vote together. They could come directly to him afterward.

Di Jia Ling Yu agreed at once.

During that time, Qin Chuan also received messages from Dragon Soar Under Heaven and several others. Aside from asking whether he needed help, they were curious about how one could obtain an artifact.

Qin Chuan did not hide much and plainly told them that obtaining an artifact required a bit of luck. He had only gotten one through a fortunate coincidence.

That was the truth. Before heading to the Shadow Labyrinth, Qin Chuan had never expected that a weapon like Darkest Hour would be there.

Nor had he known that Darkest Hour possessed such heaven-defying properties.

Even after only its initial restoration, it had already reached the level of a Demigod Artifact.

Its traits of unlimited teleportation and immunity to lockdown meant Qin Chuan could leave whenever he wished and would never be restricted again.

As for whether that answer would convince the others, Qin Chuan was not sure.

Fortunately, Dragon Soar Under Heaven and the others knew where to draw the line. They did not press further and instead showered Qin Chuan with praise. As expected of a big shot—he was actually willing to share such important information. What a broad-minded man.

In truth, Dragon Soar Under Heaven knew that even if someone really gave him an artifact, he probably would not be able to keep it.

He had watched this battle from start to finish.

Good lord, against the combined assault of more than a dozen God Chosen, he would have been killed the instant he showed his face. He would not have lasted even half a second.

Yet Night Wanderer had not only held on, he had even counter-killed the God Chosen.

They did not even dare dream of such a record.

If Apocalypse had only one player worthy of possessing an artifact, it had to be Night Wanderer!

But not every player thought that way.

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut, for one, was thoroughly unconvinced.

Earlier, he had asked Rakshasa Mad Blood to organize some men and see whether they could pick up any scraps.

After several attempts, they returned empty-handed. Instead, guild members were sent to the Respawn Point one after another, dropping heaps of equipment.

Rakshasa Mad Blood had dropped the most equipment of all. By the end, he had been left with nothing but his underwear. It was beyond miserable.

How could Rakshasa One-Blade Cut stand by and watch his brothers bleed and weep? With a grand wave of his hand, he declared that anyone who had dropped equipment in battle would be fully reimbursed.

Naturally, he left the matter to Rakshasa Mad Blood.

But when Rakshasa One-Blade Cut looked over the final list submitted to him, he could not shake the feeling that something was off.

"Mad Blood, are you saying that our five hundred brothers dropped eight hundred pieces of armor, seven hundred pairs of pants, nine hundred hats, and twelve hundred weapons?"

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut looked somewhat stunned.

Rakshasa Mad Blood did not bat an eye as he nodded firmly. "That's right. Those are the numbers the brothers reported."

Then he lowered his voice and advised, "Guild Master, the brothers made several trips to the Respawn Point. It is only natural that they feel disappointed and resentful. Some of them must have inflated the numbers, but Rakshasa Hall is a major guild. We cannot nitpick too much and chill our brothers' hearts."

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut pondered for a moment before nodding. "That is indeed true. I approve this list. Go have the finance department reimburse it."

Rakshasa Mad Blood beamed. "Having a guild master like you is truly a blessing for the brothers!"

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut modestly waved a hand, saying it was simply what he ought to do.

Rakshasa Mad Blood studied his guild master's expression and asked curiously, "Guild Master, you seem to be in a good mood. Did something good happen?"

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut replied casually, "A little something. It is nothing much—my quest chain can continue now."

When Dies Martin had attacked the Eternal Royal Palace, Rakshasa One-Blade Cut had also been there. Demons had chased him down and killed him repeatedly. If he had not put away his equipment in time, he would have been stripped clean long ago.

Then he had been teleported away midway through the battle. He had thought the hidden faction he had finally discovered was finished, but things took an unexpected turn—the Eternal Royal Palace had actually survived!

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut was overjoyed.

If the Beast Race had not launched a full-scale invasion, he would have gone to investigate the seabed long ago and tried to trigger more quests.

But it was not too late now.

The Beast Race would not attack for the time being, and Night Wanderer had not been killed either. With nothing else to do, he might as well take another trip to the Eternal Royal Palace.

Qin Chuan immediately used the Transporter's Chain to return to Beili City, then quietly slipped out of the city and headed to the Black Market.

He had no desire to be blocked by the church again.

He was not afraid of them, but he did not want to waste time either.

Once he finished dealing with his business, he would have plenty of time to spar with the church.

When he arrived at the Black Market tavern, Idith happened to be there. She was rather surprised to see Qin Chuan. "The fighting at the front is over?"

Qin Chuan shook his head, then nodded as he explained, "We fought one battle and both sides suffered losses. Neither side can keep fighting for now."

Idith did not ask further. Compared with the war at the front, she cared more about Qin Chuan's level.

How long had it been? He was already Level 100?

Back when she had reached Level 100, it had taken her a very long time.

This man truly brought her too many surprises.

"So you rushed back from the front for Job Advancement."

Idith asked directly.

Qin Chuan nodded. "I'll be relying on you, Instructor Idith."

As the Assassin Instructor of Beili City, issuing Class Advancement Quests to players was part of Idith's duties. Her expression immediately turned solemn as she said slowly, "Your past performance has always exceeded my expectations. If it is you, perhaps you can challenge the legendary advancement quest. What do you say? Are you interested in giving it a try?"

Idith continued, "But let me make this clear first. This quest is extremely difficult. If you fail, not only will your attributes be permanently reduced by half, but you will also be unable to accept any new advancement quests. It would be the same as being crippled for life."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Chuan immediately said, "I'll take that one."

The more difficult the quest, the greater the reward.

The greater the risk, the greater the catch.

Qin Chuan had always chosen the highest difficulty for his previous Job Advancements. There was no reason for him to back down this time.

Besides, he had Darkest Hour in hand. He had even less to fear.

Understanding flickered in Idith's eyes. "I knew you would make that choice."

As she spoke, an aged-looking parchment scroll appeared in Idith's hand. Her tone carried a trace of wistfulness. "I received this from my own mentor. I had thought I would never have a chance to use it and would simply pass it on to the next Assassin Instructor. But your arrival has given me hope."

Idith handed over the parchment. The instant Qin Chuan touched it, Apocalypse's notification rang in his ears.
