Chapter 254: Chapter 171: Ceremony of Dedication in the New World_1
Lin Xun materialized four complete divinity artifacts in his hands.
The female boss opened her mouth slightly, falling into a stunned silence...
"So many divine items... How, how did you do this?"
Li Xingyue fell silent for a while before finally regaining her focus. After deliberating for a moment, she cautiously advised, "If the method you used to get these divine artifacts can be replicated, you just need to give me the method, and I can apply for a legendary grade divine artifact for you.
"Not just a single legendary grade divine artifact, even if it’s about upgrading your soul talent to Plus Six, the organization will agree without hesitation."
Of course, Lin Xun’s method to acquire divine artifacts could not be replicated by others.
The prerequisite to enter a hell-grade Chapter is for the clearance evaluation to reach SSS level.
Even if we take a step back and say that some apostles can enter the hell-grade Chapters, it would be extremely unlikely for them to come across the Omniscient World where he resides.
The idea of mass-producing these artifacts using the method Lin Xun used to acquire divine artifacts is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Lin Xun shook his head, "It’s not that I think too highly of myself, it’s just that other apostles simply can’t do it."
Li Xingyue let out a small sigh, "That’s true. Your unique soul talent is one of a kind in this world. It’s logical that your method can’t be replicated."
It seemed that his boss mistakenly believed that he was using his soul talent to get divine artifacts.
He had no intention of explaining further.
Li Xingyue took the items he handed over, saying slowly, "In the game, the value of two kinds of divinity items is approximately one to nine to one to ten, meaning one legendary grade divinity artifact can be exchanged for nine to ten epic grade artifacts."
"The divine items you’ve given, although extremely valuable, may not be enough to exchange for a legendary one..."
The black silk lady hesitates a bit hesitantly.
Lin Xun’s eyebrows furrowed.
He had originally thought that four epic grade divine artifacts would be more than enough to exchange for a legendary one, but he didn’t expect the disparity between the two grades to be so large.
Upon further reflection, he recalls that he had previously used three rare+ grade artifacts to create an epic grade divine artifact.
If this synthesis formula continues to advance, with nine epic-grade artifacts combined into three epic+ grade and three epic+ grade artifacts combined into one legendary grade, it would indeed accord with what Li Xingyue had said.
Li Xingyue lightly bit her lip and collected the artifacts: "I’ll give it a try and apply to headquarters... If you can get more divine artifacts, bring them to me."
Lin Xun instantly understood what his boss meant.
She wanted to use her internal connections to help Lin Xun, but using four divine artifacts in exchange for nine is indeed tough for her.
So, Li Xingyue didn’t make a firm commitment but urged him to try and get more if he can.
The closer he gets to the inherent value of the legendary-grade divine artifact, the higher his chances of success in the exchange.
"Leader Li..." Lin Xun was slightly moved.
"Alright, no need to be formal between us." The black silk lady waved her hand, "It’s getting late. Would you like to go home yourself, or shall I give you a ride?"
...
Yunjing City, The Apostles’ Council Headquarters building.
The top-floor office was still brightly lit deep into the night.
A middle-aged man dressed in a Chinese tunic suit put down his papers, just about to sip his hot tea when his phone suddenly rang.
He frowned but relaxed when he saw the caller’s ID and answered the call:
"Little girl, why aren’t you asleep so late? What do you need from your uncle?"
The voice of a young woman came from the other end of the line.
"What about the legendary grade divine artifact you promised me? It’s been half a year, and there’s still no news?"
Li Long froze momentarily before reluctantly responding, "Did you stay up just to remind me of this? I told you, young people need to sleep more..."
"Not to mention, you’re only at the fifth difficulty level now. Your current soul talent is enough. You don’t need to rush to upgrade..."
"I urgently need it."
Li Long rubbed his forehead, saying begrudgingly, "Alright, alright, I’ll see what I can do and get it for you as soon as possible... One month at most, I will keep my word."
"Thank you, uncle."
The woman’s voice on the phone became sweet, as if a junior expecting a red packet during the New Year.
After hanging up, Li Long shook his head and chuckled, "This girl, she’s just like her father... her dad."
As he stared out at the shining neon lights in the night sky reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows, he seemed to see a facethe face of someone he could never forget reflected on the window.
"If only... if only the one who survived back then wasn’t me, how wonderful that would be..."
...
The next day.
Outside the old district’s mutton shop.
While Lin Xun was scooping fragrant sticky rice into his mouth with a ceramic spoon, he was simultaneously checking his mobile phone.
The headline on the screen read, "Gas pipeline explosion near the Wencheng Public Security Bureau results in at least 5 dead and 43 injured."
Clicking on the news for more details.
"At around 0 o’clock on September 13, a gas explosion occurred in a shop near the Wencheng Public Security Bureau, causing at least 5 deaths and 43 injuries so far. The injured include employees of the Wencheng Public Security Bureau and staff from surrounding shops."
"About 200 residents in the surrounding areas have been urgently evacuated, and afterwards, gas company workers have entered the site for repairs. The exact cause of the explosion is still under investigation..."
Lin Xun finished his breakfast and lunch, then got up to return home.
Although the Doomsday Source polluion incident last night did not result in any deaths, the headline news was just a smokescreen.
Although the vicinity of the Public Security Bureau was covered by the illusion of "Utopia," the noise resulting from last night’s event was significant, and it’s inevitable some bystanders would have heard it.
