“Since you’ve cleared the opening chapter, I imagine you’ve already returned to the Library to solidify a Source of the Apocalypse Fragnt into a Relic…”
Under her gentle yet thorough explanation, Lin Xun finally grasped the system.
Just as he’d suspected: Relics ca in Types I through IX, corresponding to difficulty levels 1 to 9.
And yes, they could all be equipped simultaneously, as long as they ca from different difficulty tiers.
Achieving an interpretation rating of S grants a Source of the Apocalypse Fragnt, which can be solidified into a Relic that enhances the soul by 10%.
An SS rating yields a True Source of the Apocalypse, which, once solidified, boosts soul enhancent by 20%. As for even higher ratings and more advanced Relics, even Li Xingyue did not know the details.
Lin Xun recalled so gossip from Ye Xiaoqi, that Team Leader Li’s family mber allegedly held a senior position within the Apostle Security Council.
No doubt Li Xingyue knew plenty of insider information. It seed that within the organization, an SS rating was already considered top-tier, achievable only by major elites.
With that in mind, the fact that he’d achieved an SSS rating in the ultra-high-difficulty Blood Sun World was nothing short of legendary.
Li Xingyue told him there was another way to obtain a Source of the Apocalypse.
In so chapters, there was a chance to acquire hidden items. Turning these in to the Librarian would unlock secret Easter Egg chapters.
Clearing these bonus chapters would allow him to enter fragntary low-difficulty worlds, which still granted interpretation ratings, therefore, more Sources of the Apocalypse.
Lin Xun was delighted to hear this. It ant he didn’t need to worry, so long as there was a path, he’d find it.
With his ticulous, 100%-completion playstyle, he wasn’t afraid of missing Easter Egg clues in the future.
“After clearing the initial chapter, there’s no need to rush into the Disciple Sanctum.”
“The Seat Pass will notify you when the Sanctum is holding its eting. Entering too early might raise suspicion.”
Li Xingyue explained the infiltration details step by step.
After Lin Xun committed them to mory, the black-stocking beauty rose from her desk and handed him a file.
Printed on the cover were the words: Wen City ‘Thunder Tribulation’ Squad Formation Plan
Lin Xun looked puzzled.
“I promised you, didn’t I? Clear the initial chapter, and I’ll get you a promotion and a raise.”
With the air of soone who keeps her word, the sultry office lady explained further.
Heavenly Punishnt was the Apostle Council’s top-tier combat unit stationed in each provincial capital. Thunder Tribulation was a new subdivision branching from that organization.
Thunder Tribulation squads were now being established in various cities, acting as second-tier combat teams tasked with directly opposing hostile groups on the front lines.
As Li Xingyue explained, Lin Xun flipped through the plan.
He saw nas both familiar and unfamiliar.
Li Xingyue, Wang Zong, Lu Caiyi, Ye Xiaoqi, and himself, plus a few Apostles he didn’t recognize.
Li Xingyue propped her chin on one hand and looked at him with her sultry, alluring eyes.
“Once you join Thunder Tribulation, your rank will be upgraded from Team mber to Senior Team mber.”
“Not only will your pay double, you’ll also gain access to higher-level chapter guides.”
“So? Are you satisfied?”
Lin Xun had always said he’d repay his superior, not just with words.
He was the kind of person who returned respect with greater respect, and vengeance with overwhelming retaliation.
Even without these perks, if Li Xingyue had asked him to join Thunder Tribulation, he wouldn’t have hesitated.
Besides, let’s not forget his innate gift: four manifestable Shells, equivalent to four lives.
And after defeating the Corrupted Ancient Primordial Tree, he’d even obtained a resurrection-like survival item: the Legacy Sapling of the Withered Tree.
When it ca to staying alive, he held an overwhelming advantage.
Even Ye Xiaoqi, the squad’s mascot-tier Apostle, had joined Thunder Tribulation. What did he have to hesitate about?
Lin Xun nodded to indicate his agreent.
At the end of the file, after many other Apostle signatures, he added his own na.
Li Xingyue broke into a brilliant smile, her eyes curving charmingly.
“Sudden promotion and raise, are you feeling touched?”
“I’m so moved I feel like treating you to dinner.”
Lin Xun smoothly followed her lead.
“Oh?”
Li Xingyue raised an elegant brow, her watery peach blossom eyes seeming to say, Then why haven’t you asked
out yet?
Lin Xun’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly rembered… he hadn’t done his writing today. His buffer chapters had already run dry.
If he agreed to dinner, wouldn’t that an betraying his beloved readers?
With righteous conviction, he inford the black-stocking beauty that it was getting late, he had to go ho and continue training in the ga.
He had to push forward into the next chapter, to grow stronger, and carve out new frontiers for his superior, to win honor through blood and fire…
Li Xingyue rolled her eyes but waved him off to go train.
Bidding his boss farewell, Lin Xun returned to his rental apartnt.
He pulled out his phone and jumped back into the ga, full of anticipation for the next chapter.
The Book of Salvation, Activate!
[An ordinary wandering soul awakens in the Library…]
Just as he was about to continue playing, Lin Xun paused.
Sothing felt off.
He looked back at the text. It had always said “feeble wandering soul”, when had it changed to “ordinary wandering soul”?
“Could it be that the soul enhancent from the Relics strengthened my soul enough to change the system text?”
Looking at his now 3/3 Soul Strength, he figured that was likely the cause.
After double-checking his current status and confirming nothing was amiss.
Lin Xun stepped forward and tapped the Book of Salvation.
[Do you wish to begin the next chapter and embark on a new salvation journey?]
[You may randomly enter a Level 3 Difficulty Chapter.]
[Due to your C-rank rating in the previous chapter, you are eligible to randomly enter a Level 4 Difficulty Chapter.]
[Due to your A-rank rating in the previous chapter, you are eligible to randomly enter a Level 4 Difficulty Chapter (Nightmare).]
[Due to your SSS-rank rating in the previous chapter, you are eligible to randomly enter a Level 4 Difficulty Chapter (Hell).]
Ordinary Apostles, even with lowly D-rank ratings, could eventually proceed by stacking enough chapter completions.
So lucky Apostles had randomly entered Nightmare worlds, like the Blood Sun World.
But Hell difficulty? That was a brand-new tier Lin Xun had never even heard of. Just the na alone scread nightmarish challenge.
And high difficulty ant high rewards.
“Should I give it a shot?”
Lin Xun’s fingers itched. There wasn’t really a downside.
If he couldn’t clear it, he’d just end the chapter and reroll into another one. No big deal.
[You have chosen Level 4 Difficulty Chapter (Hell)!]
[You have entered an Apocalyptic Chapter.]
[Chapter 82740874]
???
Lin Xun stared blankly at the ga text in front of him.
[T/N: New Arc lets go!]
