Return
The enormous Teleportation Gate shook, and shortly afterward, a blood-red figure emerged from it.
The figure was covered in blood, leaving a sticky, bloody footprint with every step. Only the mask on his face and the hammer in his hand made him recognizable as Luo Jun, who had just experienced a great battle.
"Owner!"
A leopard-like beast nimbly leaped in front of Luo Jun, its form shifting to Aishiliya asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Luo Jun waved his hand. "This isn't my blood."
As he spoke, he glanced back at the Teleportation Gate: "I thought there was some vast world over there, but it's just a space a few hundred meters square... This Chaos Mission is so lazy!"
Meanwhile, the mission notification has arrived, indicating that the Seventh Stage the Source of Calamity has ended, and everyone has gained 1,000 points.
As for Luo Jun, as the hero who killed the main body of the Source of Calamity, he received 10,000 points. At the same time, he also received more than 15,000 of the 20,000 contribution points. Wan Zisheng and others also received more than 1,000 points each because they participated in guarding the gate.
With less than an hour left in the mission, all the possible scoring points had been explored, and the group that went to the four Teleportation Gate to intercept the monsters had all returned.
Luo Jun glanced at the unconscious human stick on the ground. Liu Weiyou clearly had the means to revive outside of missions. Although he had suffered greatly, he was fearless and could not be extracted from him at all.
Madam Gao is dead, and A Dai was naturally eliminated by the previous Source of Calamity. Now, Liu Weiyou is the only remaining opponent.
Luo Jun waved his hand and said to Chu Xin, "You can have his score."
"Thank you!" Chu Xin stepped forward and finished off Liu Weiyou, who was powerless to resist. This guy was strong enough and had taken a lot of kills, and his score had risen to a thousand points. Looking at the points in his account, Chu Xin was so happy that he almost snot bubbles came out of his nose.
With Liu Weiyou's death, the number of enemy survivors dropped to zero, and the battle was finally decided.
Everyone received a notification that the task was completed and began calculating the final evaluation.
Main Quest "Kill all enemies" completed.
Side Mission "Eliminate the Source of Calamity" completed.
Hidden Mission "Richest Man" completed.
Hidden Mission "The Butcher" completed.
Hidden Mission "Philanthropist" completed.
Hidden Mission "Lavish Spender" completed.
Hidden Mission "Disaster Terminator" completed.
Task Evaluation: Excellent
Rewards are being calculated...
Main Quest reward: Hunting Mark
Side Mission reward: Iron Certificate
Hidden Mission Reward 1: Exquisite Wrapping Paper
Hidden Mission Reward 2: Hanging Hook
Hidden Mission Reward 3: Generous Person Badge
Hidden Mission Reward 4: Universal Equivalent
Hidden Mission Reward 5: Chaos Card
You have completed the Main Quest and can return to the Main World at any time within ten minutes.
Another excellent rating. Luo Jun guessed that this was probably related to his elimination halfway through. If he had been able to participate in the entire mission, with his kill count and score, and having completed so many Hidden Mission, he would definitely have gotten a Perfect Evaluation.
All told, he has participated in four Tier A Mission, and apart from the first one, the Miracle Chess Game, the rest were all rated as excellent.
However, Luo Jun wasn't in a hurry to get a perfect rating. If he did get Perfect Evaluation and reached the Tier S Mission, he would be facing mostly Peak or even Feather Transformation. Higher rewards also meant greater risks.
In fact, anyone with Peak Combat Power can stand out in Tier A Mission, but many Peak remain in Class A because they are unwilling to face the old monsters in Class B.
As for whether Feather Transformation will result in a level cap reduction... Luo Jun saw a claim on the forum, but he doesn't know if it's true or not.
That means that no matter what level you were before, once you reach the Feather Transformation, you can only participate in Tier S Mission!
Forget it, he's still only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, not even close to the Heart Refining Realm yet. It's too early to be thinking about Feather Transformation. Luo Jun decided to focus his attention on the rewards in front of him.
The main storyline reward is nothing special; it's just an excellent rating reward, Epic-level.
As for the Side Mission reward, the description says that you can get it as long as you kill one Source of Calamity, so theoretically a maximum of seven people can complete this quest and all of them will get an Epic Treasure Item. Although Luo Jun killed four, it doesn't seem that the reward increased by any amount.
Several Hidden Mission are available. The "Richest Man" mission requires accumulating the most points upon completion; the Butcher" mission requires the highest number of kills; the " Lavish Spender" mission requires actively using over 10,000 points. These are more like unlockable achievements than missions, with varying reward levels, ranging from rare to epic...
The Last One Hidden Mission, Doomsday Terminator, is a bit special. The conditions for completing this mission are to kill the Seventh Stage Source of Calamity and have a contribution of more than half.
The conditions for achieving this seem to overlap somewhat with the Side Mission, but the final reward is better than that of the Side Mission —it's the only legendary item Luo Jun obtained this time! This shows how much importance the quest places on this seventh calamity.
This made Luo Jun wonder if he could trigger a Hidden Mission if he could defeat all seven Source of Calamity.
Defeating the strongest one already grants a legendary reward. If you defeat seven, could you obtain the Myth reward, which might appear in Tier A Mission?
Thinking about it now is useless, Luo Jun shook his head. Besides, he had also obtained a Mythic Treasure Item this time, although it was a Self-Destruction trigger...
These rewards were automatically stored in the Hundred Treasure Box after being received. Before Luo Jun could even see the specific effects, his thoughts were interrupted by a cheer behind him.
"Wow, I got an epic reward!"
Chu Xin was so happy he danced around. "Following the big boss means you get to enjoy the benefits!"
"Epic? You didn't get an 'Excellent' rating, did you?" Zhuge Lan looked incredulous. "I only got a 'Good' rating!"
"No, I just passed..." Chu Xin chuckled, "But I triggered a Hidden Mission."
"Single-handedly kill an enemy whose rating is more than 500 points higher than your own!"
The group was taken aback for a moment, then realized that this referred to his final act of killing Liu Weiyou.
"That doesn't make sense. He was reduced to a human stump, how can it be considered a solo kill?"
"Who knows?" Chu Xin shrugged smugly. "Maybe it's like Game; after a certain time, it won't count as an assist anymore. After all, Ye dealt with him several hours ago."
Luo Jun, however, felt that the intelligence of the Chaos Mission would not make such a judgment, and he thought of another possibility.
When he defeated Liu Weiyou, he was trapped in a cage that could block the telepathic connection of the Dominator's Necklace, something that could only be done in different worlds before.
Does this mean that the inside and outside of that cage are essentially two different worlds? Or at least, that cage possesses a powerful ability to isolate information, making it impossible for the Chaos Mission to monitor the situation inside, so from beginning to end, they only detected the harm Chu Xin caused him... Of course, this is just speculation.
In the end, everyone else only received a "good" rating at best, while Chu Xin, apart from Luo Jun, received a generous reward.
Of course, this doesn't mean they're weak. Not to mention Wan Zisheng, who is at his Peak, even Ling Xin, Zhuge Lan, and Chen Fei are all top-notch experts in the Heart Refining Realm. In ordinary missions, they would be dominant forces.
The problem is that this Large Recruitment Mission is teeming with experts; four Peak are known to be participating, two of whom are hostile Polluter, leaving these First-class Expert with absolutely no room to showcase their abilities...
All I can say is that these kinds of large-scale missions offer many opportunities, but you also need the ability to seize them...
Luo Jun shook his head, just about to return, when he was suddenly stopped by Zhuge Lan.
"I have a question... I want to confirm with you." This cheerful girl suddenly seemed a little hesitant, which puzzled Luo Jun.
"What's up?"
"You..." Zhuge Lan looked into Luo Jun's eyes, but because of the Midnight cotton, she couldn't see any familiarity in them.
Are you really Lin Feng?
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the two of them. Since it concerned Ye's true identity, how could anyone not be interested?
The error-free version can be read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+shuba is the first site to publish this novel.
"You mentioned that name again." Luo Jun was naturally unwilling to admit it. "Who exactly is Lin Feng?"
"If you're not Lin Feng, then why couldn't Lin Feng contact you after you disappeared?" Zhuge Lan insisted, "Furthermore, after you entered the Annihilation Process, our Main World's contestants quickly united. I recorded everyone, whether they were killed or eliminated, and there was absolutely no news about Lin Feng!"
"You disappeared, and he disappeared too. You are the same person!"
Luo Jun hadn't expected Zhuge Lan to be so persistent, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only snort coldly, "Boring!" and then forcefully choose to return.
Looking at the spot where Luo Jun had disappeared, Zhuge Lan felt a sense of loss, while Ling Xin beside her frowned slightly, lost in thought.
As the surrounding scenery changed, Luo Jun returned to his dormitory. The room was dark with the lights off, indicating that Ailongtan had not yet returned.
I called out to them through the necklace and got a response that class was still in session.
With Ailongtan absent, Luo Jun couldn't easily turn on the lights, but given his eyesight, he didn't mind the darkness. Since he had nothing better to do, he groped his way through the dark, opened the Hundred Treasure Box, and took out the rewards one by one to examine them.
Name: Hunting Mark
Grade: Epic
Description: A throwing knife once used by a renowned Assassin; legend has it that it would never miss its mark.
Function 1: This treasure cannot be lost; it can be summoned back to the user at any time.
Function 2 Death Mark: When activated, it can mark any unit within a 100-meter radius. Throwing knives at the marked target will guarantee a hit and grant a fixed power bonus.
Death Mark consumes Five Breaths Vital Energy, has a one-minute Cooldown Time, and lasts for one minute.
Note: Once I've locked onto you, you're doomed!
An Epic-level throwing knife, there's only one of its kind as a throwing weapon, and the special effects don't seem particularly impressive... but Luo Jun accurately captured its ingenious use.
The Death Mark, which cannot be lost and can be seamlessly linked, can be seen as a continuous and precise strike against a single target. You can throw a knife, recall it, throw a knife, recall it, and repeat this process, making one knife equivalent to a hundred.
More importantly, the power boost after marking is not proportional, but fixed!
This means that against a marked target, even if you throw it casually, the throwing knife will still deal a guaranteed minimum damage! In crucial moments, if you only care about speed and not power, you can use the throwing knife like a machine gun.
If I had to point out a drawback, it would be that it's not very suitable for group settings.
For Luo Jun, it's an interesting toy that he can trade for other things if the opportunity arises.
Name: Iron Certificate
Grade: Epic
Description: A token bestowed by a Great Dynasty upon a meritorious official, granting him immunity from one death sentence.
Function 1: Exemption: Can be activated after receiving Chaos Mission but before entering the quest. If the quest triggers the Annihilation Program, you can skip the Death Challenge and return directly to the Main World, receiving a passing rating. This consumes Iron Certificate.
If the Annihilation Program is not triggered during this mission, the Iron Certificate will not be consumed.
Activation consumes no resources and has no cooldown.
Note: I took a bullet for His Your Majesty, I shed blood for the Empire, you cannot kill me!
This is a very practical Noble Phantasm. Its effect is simple and clear. Although the description only states that it grants immunity to the Annihilation Program, it is a good option to actively break the rules and escape when faced with a dead end in a mission, provided the conditions allow.
Luo Jun estimated that there were quite a few of these items in existence; at least among the experts eliminated in this mission, there should be more than one with a similar treasure for protection.
Name: Exquisite Wrapping Paper
Grade: Epic
Introduction: A supreme being casually drew a wrapping paper to make his gift look more exquisite. The recipient, however, seemed not to like it, tossing it away after opening it. The wrapping paper wandered among mortals for many years without encountering a Keen Eye to recognize its value.
Function 1: Packaging: The value of a Noble Phantasm wrapped in this packaging paper will increase significantly.
Note: Someone put so much effort into drawing this... and you just threw it away...
Forehead...
The description of this item left Luo Jun completely bewildered.
Significantly increase value? What does value refer to? Grade or level?
Luo Jun tried wrapping the Iron Certificate with wrapping paper... but nothing changed, and it even looked ugly...
The description says this paper is a painting, but I have to say, the drawing skills are really not good. The painting depicts a man and a woman holding hands with a heart in the middle, but the color scheme and design are rather questionable.
If laid out flat, it's barely legible, but once it's wrapped around something, the pattern warps with the folds, and the image immediately becomes horrifying. Is this really a suitable gift?
Luo Jun unwrapped the packaging. If it couldn't upgrade its grade, what was the point? Increase its value? Treasures don't even have a value attribute. Besides, who would buy it if its value was increased? People don't buy treasures based on the packaging; they price them based on their specific functions and effects, right?
Does this mean that possessing this item can make people bewitch themselves and willingly pay exorbitant prices for worthless treasures?
Looks like I'll have to wait for the next black market if I want to give it a try...
Luo Jun put that thing aside and took out another treasure.
