From the Black Bear Magistrate's tone, Chen Lin knew he had asked too many questions.
But he had no choice. Having finally caught a Nightmare Realm creature he could communicate with, how could he let the opportunity slip away?
So he steeled himself and continued, "Your Honor, can road guides be upgraded here?"
If they could, he would exchange his rewards for Nightmare Coins and save up ten thousand for a Level 4 Road Guide. That would be far better than raising his Identity Level.
The Black Bear Magistrate nodded. "They can, but only up to level three. I don't have permission to issue Level 4 Road Guides. Those allow travel between different territories, so only a third-rank official or higher has the authority to issue them, and even then, it must be through a yamen with a substantive appointment."
Disappointment showed on Chen Lin's face.
Seeing his expression, the Black Bear Magistrate felt slighted and immediately added, "A Level 4 Road Guide is no trifling matter. Not only must it be issued by a third-rank yamen with a substantive appointment, but besides paying Nightmare Coins or the corresponding merit, you must also complete an assessment task. It isn't something easily obtained."
"You have to complete a task too?"
Chen Lin echoed the question, immediately realizing how difficult obtaining a Level 4 Road Guide would be. He wondered how Shirina had acquired hers.
"Besides..."
Chen Lin was about to ask another question, but the Black Bear Magistrate looked impatient. "Brother Chen, hand over the items first. You'll naturally learn all this information in time. I have many official duties and cannot spare too much time."
Seeing how impatient he had become, Chen Lin finally shut his mouth. Further questions might cause an unexpected turn.
Nothing in a Nightmare Realm scenario
