The Immortals' Quartermaster

Jing Wuming didn't rush into battle. He first entered Stealth mode and secretly followed a patrol of Naga. Then, he waited for the patrol to enter his ambush route and knocked out the last one Sap a single blow.

Sap: Strikes a target on the back of the head, rendering them unable to act for 20 seconds. Any attack will remove this effect. Can only be used while in Stealth.

After stunning one of his targets, before the Naga in front could react, he suddenly burst out of the shadows.

He wasn't charging in recklessly, of course. Although there were five enemies, and their levels were generally quite high, assassins aren't usually suited for fighting multiple opponents. However, Jing Wuming still had a 100% chance of winning. His biggest advantage was that he had mastered the method of triggering the Execute effect. Since the new version update, he had been practicing assassination techniques diligently. He knew almost everything about the weaknesses of humanoid creatures, how to trigger the Execute effect, and the probability of Execute. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the first assassin in the Glory War Soul Guild at level 42, especially considering that there were many people in their guild with higher levels and better equipment than him.

As he swiftly approached the first Naga from behind, a cold smile flashed across Jing Wuming's lips.

Backstab! The rapier in his hand plunged straight into the Naga patrolman's back, triggering the Execute effect. The Naga patrolman screamed and died.

Gouge! Bang! The second Naga patrolman was stunned the moment he turned around. Taking advantage of the target's inability to move, Jing Wuming aimed his sword at the Naga's heart and stabbed it in. The Execute effect was triggered, resulting in a double kill.

The third Naga patrolman brandished his spear and thrust it forward with great force. Jing Wuming nimbly dodged it, and with a flick of his wrist, a cloud of white powder instantly covered the Naga's face.

Blind! The third Naga patrolman immediately covered his eyes and could see nothing.

He thrust again at the Naga patrolman who had lost sight of him, the rapier piercing through his heart, triggering the Execute effect, resulting in a triple kill.

At this moment, Captain Naga rushed over, roared, and swung his long sword horizontally, but Jing Wuming's figure suddenly disappeared.

Killing Spree!

He moved like a phantom around the Naga patrol captain, his twin swords flashing in a dazzling display. Each strike was powerful, though they didn't trigger Execute blow, the damage was still considerable. With a thud, when the last sword was thrust out, Jing Wuming returned to his initial position, while the Naga captain collapsed, covered in wounds.

At this moment, the Naga scout who had been stunned by the Sap finally broke free from the trap. Seeing that things were going badly, he turned and ran.

"Trying to run? Not so easy! "Jing Wuming waved his hand.

Deadly Throw! With a swift thud, it struck the Naga scout squarely in the back. Walking over, Jing Wuming pulled out the knife and smiled slightly. Killing people is that simple.

Continuing his efforts, he wiped out several more Naga patrols. In less than ten minutes, Jing Wuming completed his mission. In fact, it could have been even shorter; the Naga patrolmen and Naga captains had already exceeded their targets. However, the number of Naga scouts was relatively small, making them difficult to kill and slowing down the process. This made Jing Wuming very suspicious of what the mission designer was thinking.

(What else could he be thinking? He naturally wanted you to kill more Naga, Xiao Yu thought maliciously.)

Back at the camp, he handed over the scales he had peeled off the Naga.

System notification: Mission complete, Pledge of Allegiance. Your reputation with the Immortals has increased by 100 points, reaching Neutral. You have earned 50 Immortal Emblem.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Well done, adventurer. You have successfully proven yourself and won our friendship. Now, you are free to move about the camp. My men will be happy to serve you, and perhaps you can do some things for them. We need help in many things to deal with the Naga. These Immortal Emblem are proof of your service to the Immortals, and you can spend them in my camp."

Jing Wuming looked around and, sure enough, the monsters that were originally all red-named had all turned orange, a neutral color, meaning that as long as he did not show any hostile behavior, they would not attack him.

Although the camp wasn't very large, it had quite a few NPCs and was quite well-equipped. Jing Wuming first went to the blacksmith shop and had the merman blacksmith repair his equipment. Then he went to the innkeeper—a siren priest—and bought some food. Unfortunately, it was all seafood like dried fish and boiled clam meat, and the taste was really not good.

The 50 Immortal Emblem were used up in the blink of an eye.

Then he wandered around the camp.

Generally, as long as you can increase your reputation, it naturally means that there is a reputation quartermaster. That was his goal. Sure enough, not far from the camp, a Water Elemental elder caught his attention.

Wotkud (The Immortals Quartermaster), Level 44, High-Tier Boss Template. (Wotkud's template leveled up by one tier due to the reputation gained during the two previous battles in Hydra City.)

"Greetings, respected elder." Standing before the Water Elemental elder, Jing Wuming said very politely.

Wotkud (The Immortals Quartermaster): "Hello adventurer, what can I do for you?" Wotkud asked somewhat awkwardly. This was the first time he had ever interacted with an adventurer like this. He had been extremely nervous when they were on opposing sides and had almost come to blows. Fortunately, the relationship between the two sides had eased up a bit now, and following Xiao Yu's instructions, he tried to be as friendly as possible.

"May I see what you sell here?" Jing Wuming asked politely.

The NPCs in this game are very intelligent, so it's always a good idea to be polite.

Wotkud nodded. "Of course." He then unfolded his merchandise in front of Jing Wuming.

A list of goods appeared before Jing Wuming's eyes, with blue and green equipment at the very top.

Tideslasher's Blade (Fine - Two-Handed Sword), requires 1000 Immortal Emblem and the Immortals Reputation (Friendly).

Wavebreaker Spear (Fine - Polearm), requires 800 Immortal Emblem and the Immortals Reputation (Friendly).

Tidal Bulwark (Excellent - Shield), requires 900 Immortal Emblem and the Immortals Reputation (Friendly).

Tidecaller's Staff (Excellent - Staff), requires 1200 Immortal Emblem and the Immortals Reputation (Friendly).

These pieces of equipment were of decent quality, but Jing Wuming no longer found them appealing.

Then there are some interesting and unique items.

Murloc Baby (pet) requires 1000 Immortal Emblem and the Immortals reputation (Honored).

Water Sprite Baby (pet) requires 3000 Immortal Emblem and the Immortals Reputation (Revered).

The Great Giant Turtle (mount) requires 5000 Immortal Emblem and the Immortals reputation (Revered).

Dragon Turtle (Epic Mount), requires 10,000 Immortal Emblem and Exalted reputation with the Immortals.

He wasn't interested in these things at all, thinking to himself that they didn't add any attributes or increase combat power, and yet they were so expensive; who would buy them?

He scrolled up and suddenly a piece of equipment caught his attention.

Fang of Sgelari), holy crap, it's an epic weapon! Looking at that DPS of over 60 and the weapon effects, Jing Wuming's mouth watered. It's so much better than the blue-quality rapier in his hand, especially that freezing effect, it's practically a PvP god weapon.

And there's more than one epic weapon.

The Sharkmaster Lord's Spear (Epic - Polearm), the Fang of Sgelari) (Epic - One-Handed Sword), and the Dragon Turtle's Shell (Epic - Shield)—each of these items is an exceptionally rare and powerful weapon.

When I looked at the price again, I was stunned.

Fang of Sgelari), priced at 3000 Immortal Emblem, requires the Immortals reputation (Honored).

This isn't surprising, though. Reputation gear usually requires grinding reputation. It's just unclear whether this gear is unique or available to everyone. He couldn't let anyone else snatch it up. With that in mind, he couldn't wait to accept the quest.

He looked around and indeed saw many NPCs with exclamation marks above their heads (marked with quests available). He first walked up to a siren priestess named Sairen and said, "Hello, how may I help you, beautiful lady?"

The siren high priest gave him a haughty look.

Sairen (High Priestess of the Sea): "Humans? Hmph, that's quite rare. Of course, there's something you can do here—provided you're strong enough. I have nothing to say to the weak."

He was very patient with the arrogant siren priest Jing Wuming, repeatedly assuring him that he was very powerful and that there was nothing he could not defeat.

The siren priest then nodded.

Sairen (High Priestess of the Sea): "During the attack on the Lost Island, many of my Water Elemental were captured by the Naga on the island. If you can rescue them, I will give you the reward you deserve."

System prompt: Quest triggered. Rescue the Water Elementals. Rescue any of the five captured Water Elemental, Sea Elementals, or Sirens and bring them back to the Tide Camp. Quest reward: 100 Immortal Emblem. Accept quest? Yes/No.

"I will do my best," Jing Wuming said, accepting the task and immediately running towards the second exclamation mark.

Players should accept a bunch of quests at once and then arrange them in order of distance to complete them in the most efficient way to gain reputation. As long as you can do as many quests as you can, you can always give up if you can't finish them all, since there's no harm in it.

Jing Wuming did just that. He wandered around the camp and easily accepted four missions until the mission limit for his faction was reached. These missions were not very difficult and were no different from the ones he had done before.
