“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. I know that you’re ambitious and unwilling to be an ordinary person. If so, you definitely want to know what martial artists after the Seventh Realm are like so that you can make plans early,” Black said calmly.
“Please tell me.”
“First, what a Seventh Realm martial artist needs is no longer experience points, but essence. Essence will only be dropped after killing those elite demon beasts.”
“Second, after your skills, equipment, and runes reach the Seventh Realm, you can use a special resource to break through the upper limit of the quality. The peerless golden grade is not the limit.”
“And such resources are only available in those large mystic realms.”
“Currently, there are only seven known large mystic realms in the world. Two of them are under the control of the Construction Division, and the third is the Drowning City mystic realm. It’s located in the East Sea. The other four large mystic realms are distributed in the other continents.”
After Black finished speaking, he stretched out a leg and straddled a chair, quietly looking at Lin Xuan.
The information he said immediately made Lin Xuan’s eyes widen.
After a short moment of thought, he quickly understood that in the long term, working with the Construction Division was indeed a good choice. However, he still did not want to join the Construction Division. That would restrict him too much.
After hearing Lin Xuan’s description, Number Two heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s fine. We’re official employees of the Construction Division. If you don’t want to officially join, you can still be an intern. Whether or not you can enter the large mystic realm will only depend on your battle merits. As long as your battle merits are high enough, you can also enter them despite being an intern.”
Only then did Lin Xuan nod slightly. “Alright, I’ll be an intern.”
Manager Number Two said happily, “Since you’ve chosen to join, as a senior, I naturally have to give you some gifts. Tell me, what do you want?”
He patted his chest like a war drum, appearing very generous.
“Two peerless golden rings and two peerless golden runes. It’s best if they’re both defense-oriented.” Lin Xuan raised four fingers.
Manager Number Two’s face immediately trembled. Black laughed heartily. “Shield Ghost, you think too highly of him. Although he’s a level nine Sixth Realm martial artist, he doesn’t have many peerless golden equipment on him.”
Lin Xuan scratched his head.
He had a lot of peerless golden items on him, so he often felt the same about others.
He did not expect a dignified Sixth Realm martial artist and a higher-up of the Germinal Organization to not have such wealth.
“How about this? I’ll give you a peerless golden ring. You will definitely like it. This ring provides a high level of stealth enhancement. Even if your Agility is not high, you can still perfectly infiltrate like you’re invisible.”
Black rummaged in the storage compartment and threw over a grayish-black ring.
“Hey, I’ve already taken out one. You miser, hurry up and take one out!” Black kicked Manager Number Two’s butt.
Manager Number Two frowned and muttered, “It’s not that I don’t have it, but it’s only at the Sixth Realm. It won’t be of any use to him.”
High-level martial artists could equip lower-level equipment and lower-level runes, but low-level martial artists could not equip higher-level equipment and higher-level runes because they haven’t met the equipment requirements.
Lin Xuan said, “It’s fine. I can save it for later.”
Of course, he would not say that he could most likely meet the requirements for many equipment.
This was because his Constitution attribute had already reached an extremely exaggerated 273 points. As long as it was a Sixth Realm equipment that focused on defense, he would almost be able to equip it.
Hearing this, Black laughed even more arrogantly.
Manager Number Two’s features were about to wrinkle. He dug for a long time in the storage compartment and finally took out two runes that were flickering with golden light.
“Consider these two runes as a personal gift from me to you for joining the Construction Division.” Manager Number Two was very distressed. “You have to use them well. Don’t damage them.”
Lin Xuan snatched it away from Manager Number Two. “Thank you… Hey, let go!”
Manager Number Two watched the two runes leave his body reluctantly.
Lin Xuan placed the ring and the two runes into his consciousness space and casually asked, “Then, what’s my mission? To destroy the Germinal Organization?”
“The Germinal Organization had gained complete control of the new mystic realm, the Blazing Fire Plains, not long ago. After accumulating a certain amount of strength, they will definitely expand towards other places. Next, they might attack White Crane Town. At that time, just listen to my signal.” Manager Number Two smiled like an old fox.
“Pardon me for asking, but have you often caused trouble for the Germinal Organization in the past?” Lin Xuan asked casually.
Manager Number Two shook his head. “How could that be? I joined the Germinal Organization halfway. In order to gain the trust of the higher-ups, I definitely have to be loyal and responsible.”
Lin Xuan nodded and waved at the two of them before turning around to leave.
Number Two and Black were silent.
“Your heart is also very heavy, right? There are only you, me, Lu Luo, and Shield Ghost now. We’re still too weak…” Number Two whispered.
Black. “Ah? I was just thinking about the box of vodka I hid under the bed.”
Number Two was speechless.
After returning to the dormitory, Lin Xuan began to check his gains from this trip.
Name: Assassin Ring
Level: Level Three Fifth Realm
Grade: Peerless Golden
Equipment Requirements: Strength 80, Agility 85
Effect 1: Agility+6.
Effect 2: Critical Hit chance+20%, Critical Hit Damage+120%.
Effect 3: Consciousness -60%, Backstab Damage+233%.
Effect 4: If you have the sneak attack skill, the skill will temporarily increase by one grade (can break through the upper limit).
Lin Xuan was very satisfied.
This ring was simply made for him.
Then, he looked at the two runes.
One of the two runes happened to be part of the Scarlet Wave Rush rune group.
The other was one of the rune groups of “One with the Sword.”
Name: One with the Sword (1)
Level: Level Six Fifth Realm
Grade: Peerless Golden
Set Requirements: Sword-type weapon above level one Fifth Realm
Effect 1: Sword Damage+30%.
Effect 2: (Locked) Any damage caused by the sword+30% critical hit chance , +130% critical hit damage ,+30% bleeding probability.
Effect 3: (Locked) Any damage from a sword will ignore 15% physical resistance and have a 20% chance of ignoring 100% physical resistance.
…
In short, this rune group was suitable for those sword martial artists with high Agility.
As long as the attack speed was stacked, the damage would definitely be ridiculous.
However, to a martial artist like Lin Xuan who had a huge shield in each hand, it was useless.
“I’ll keep it in the consciousness space for now. Perhaps it’ll be useful in the future.”
Lin Xuan placed him into his consciousness space and lay on the bed in satisfaction before sleeping.
In the next few days, the Germinal Organization seemed to be very peaceful.
However, Lin Xuan could clearly sense the pressure from the orders passed down by the managers.
The mission quota the wasteland reclaimers had to complete every time had been increased.
The number of equipment and medicinal potions that the logisticians were required to make also increased.
Level nine Third Realm, Fourth Realm, and Fifth Realm martial artists who did not have much potential were also asked to use their advancement materials as soon as possible and stop waiting to get more advancement materials.
With this, ordinary people might not know what the Germinal Organization was up to.
However, Lin Xuan had learned of the plan from Number Two and Black in advance and immediately sensed the tension contained in it.
There was about to be a battle!
There was a high chance that Thorn Town would be taken over by the Germinal Organization in one go.
Martial artists who were unwilling to join the Germinal Organization would be expelled, and only martial artists who were willing to join the Germinal Organization could stay. The door of light that led to the First Realm of the Mystic Realm would probably be directly taken back to the base by the Germinal Organization.
