Teleportation complete. Hunter is about to arrive in the Ghost Continent (3-star reward world).
Because Hunter has exceeded the prerequisite requirement for the fifth-tier promotion (9/10), you may choose one of the following compensations.
1. Increase world affinity by 2 points.
2. Identity as the Second Son of the Extreme King (no real power, noble status, slight chance of assassination by ghosts, demons, and bizarre beasts).
3. Steam and Mechanical Scholar (requires mastery of the relevant abilities; otherwise, there is a high chance of exposure).
4. Awakened (awakening degree below 5%; extremely high-risk profession).
5. Deputy Legion Commander of the Execution Institution (suspected of crimes committed in office; this option carries the risk of Hunter's death).
Choose one of five. Options 1 and 2 were clearly the safe choices—conventional and steady. For a native world like this, the safe options were an outright POSS. Su Xiao was no rookie. At his level, being overly cautious was no longer prudence. It was cowardice.
He gave up on option 3 immediately. Aside from weapons and traps, Su Xiao could not even repair a rice cooker. How could he possibly pretend to be a scholar?
Options 4 and 5 were clearly more hardcore. Option 5 was obviously a fairly high-ranking position. As for "suspected of crimes committed in office," that deserved attention. It was only a suspicion, not proof that the deputy legion commander of the Execution Institution had already been imprisoned.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao chose reward 5. Clearly, any position that could be called a legion commander was definitely not low-ranking, even if this "Execution Institution" did not look like something that commanded an army—and the legion commander was only a deputy.
But compared with the basic rewards, the rich young master, and scholar professions, option 5
