Chapter 496: Necklace of Fleeting Shadows (2/2)
I laughed and said, “Yiyi, do you also want to move over and stay with me?”
“What?”
Lin Yixin had been caught off guard by my reply. Her face immediately went red as she growled at me, “Tsk! I won’t be a lamb delivering myself up to the butcher’s knife! Hmmmmph! You already have three! Isn’t that enough?”
“No… Nothing! Oh right! You got those Bracers of the Knight’s Glory! What are its stats?”
“It’s a 3-star Outstanding Spirit-grade item, so its stats are pretty damn good. I’m keeping it for myself~.”
“Okay!”
……
I looked at the time and said, “Tell the beautiful Xueshang to come over to Dark Moon City. Let’s divide the spoils of war between our guilds. After that, I’m heading off to hand in my fifth promotion mission.”
“Okay!”
I opened up the guild’s administration panel before teleporting back to Dark Moon City.
Wooosh!
I stepped out of the teleportation and rushed towards the guild warehouse. Lin Yixin and Ling Xueshang arrived a little after me and they smiled sweetly as we started to split the equipment. We divided them amongst ourselves in a 4:4:2 split, with Snowy Cathaya and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls taking the lion’s share of the items.
In fact, Ling Xueshang was very generous while we were splitting items and she didn’t even blink when she saw Outstanding Purple Gold-grade or Dark Gold-grade items. Instead, she even allowed us to take the better Outstanding items, causing me to look at her with renewed admiration. Anyone who could enter the CGL Hall of Fame really did deserve their place in the hall. A ally like Ling Xueshang, who was both principled and generous, was a priceless treasure.
It was late into the night by the time we had finished splitting the equipment. Lin Yixin and Ling Xueshang went to start their fifth class promotion missions. After all, everyone who had survived into the latter stages of the Coldblade War had seen their levels rise dramatically. I estimated that there were at least one hundred people doing their fifth class promotion missions right now. People like Li Chengfeng, Beiming Xue, Gui Guzi, and Murong Mingyue had already started on their missions after the event ended!
However, the one who was destined to be the first person to complete their fifth class promotion mission was me! After all, mine was already done.
At this time, I heard a beep. He Yi had come online. Now that the battle was over, the players who had died could revive in the main city again.
“Eve, you’ve come online?” I sent her a message.
“Mhm.” Eve replied with a smiley-face emoticon.
After that, she sent me another message: “I came online to receive my fifth class promotion mission and to check if it’s going to be too difficult. Also, I want you to come offline immediately after you’ve finished handing in your fifth class promotion mission, Lu Chen! I bought one kg of pizza back and I even ordered some Sichuan dishes as well! All of the dishes have come already and they’re piping hot! Everyone is to come offline in twenty minutes and eat supper. Don’t starve yourself to death!”
“Okay, I gotcha!”
……
My mission was simple enough to complete. I leisurely took out a return scroll that would teleport me to Sky City. The map of the main city was about to close soon, and it would only open twenty-four hours later. So, most people would be unable to even get their fifth class promotion mission before Sky City closed. Therefore, no one would be able to rob me of the privilege of being the first player to complete their fifth class promotion mission.
When I stepped out of the teleportation array, I noticed that the people in charge were NPCs from Floating Ice City. Once the server was patched, Karinshan would be the new ruler of Sky City, and she would also become the ruler of the tier 2 cities nearest to Sky City. This was because Sky City was one of the three big cities, so anyone who ruled it was the king of an empire.
Karinshan hadn’t been crowned king yet, and she still wore her original coat of arms, the crest of the Chinese Redbud royal family. She was still a princess of this royal family, but she now possessed even greater authority than ever before. From now on, Princess Karinshan would be the reigning authority over Floating Ice City, Samgharama City, and Thunder City, and she would rule from the heart of her empire, Sky City. Her royal and military might had reached a whole new level.
Woosh!
I teleported myself back to where Rinser was. I arrived in front of him before I crowed in an excited voice, “Teacher, I have completed your mission! I found Mylin and I helped Mylin and Karinshan wrest control of Sky City from that rotten king! The Sky Nation is about to enter a new age!”
“Well done, Kiddo!”
Rinser licked his lips before he grinned. It was a most sinister and terrifying grin. He said, “You really didn’t let me down. In fact, you absorbed a large amount of undead sparks during that battle against Coldblade! Kekeke, you are very likely to become the first undead to become an Asura King in nearly a century! Keep working hard! Obtain the power that we undead need to ensure the survival of our race!”
I replied, “Teacher, my mission…”
“Ohohoho, I nearly forgot!”
Rinser smacked his bald head before letting out a roar of laughter. After that, he walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. He said, “Come! You have already proven your valor, so these are the rewards that you deserve!”
……
Ding~!
System Notice: You have completed your fifth class promotion and have successfully been promoted to ‘Platinum Swordsman’. As the first player to complete their fifth class promotion mission, you have been rewarded with Luck +2!
……
After I heard that system notice, another system announcement was made to announce that I was the first fifth promotion player in the server.
However, the rewards were a little disappointing this time. I had only gotten 2 points of Luck, but after thinking about it for a while, I realised that it actually wasn’t too bad. After all, Luck was a stat that was hard to come by. With the addition of the MVP prize, I had gained 5 points of Luck altogether and my Luck was now 33, a number that was terrifyingly high!
