Chapter 340: Chapter 206: Starting a New Chapter, Vermillion Empire’s Envoy_1
When Lin Xun woke up again, it was already the next morning.
He had slept so soundly that he hadn’t even dreamed.
"The side effect of mental exhaustion is quite significant. I slept for a whole day and night," he thought.
"According to this, the Mage’s Shell needs only 12 hours of rest to recover when its blue energy bar is depleted. That’s quite a short recovery time."
He logged into the underworld game.
The knowledge equipment on the Book of Trade remained firm, undeterred by his price reduction.
Lin Xun was too lazy to adjust the prices again. The items would sell sooner or later.
[You approach the ’Book of Salvation’ and chat with the ’Librarian’.]
[The ’Librarian’ tells you that if you want more ’Bookmarks of Annihilation’, you should increase your invasion authority as quickly as possible.]
[Killing his split body is not a good choice, as you might miss out on some extremely precious ’Easter Egg Chapters’].]
[Of course, if you don’t care about the ’Easter Egg Chapters’, you don’t need to listen to his advice.]
[There are countless copies of the ’Librarian’. Losing one is no different from shedding a single hair; it will soon grow back.]
Lin Xun had learned about several types of bookmarks.
There are three types of bookmarks from the ’Librarian’ himself, Invasion Bookmarks, Guardian Bookmarks, and Revenge Bookmarks.
Other bookmarks include the Anchoring Bookmarks, Sacred Object Bookmarks, and Bookmarks of Annihilation.
He didn’t know if there were still other kinds of bookmarks yet.
As usual, Lin Xun got three types of bookmarks from the ’Librarian’, two of each type.
He then spent 1100 spiritual points to restock twice and acquired two more ’Invasion Bookmarks’.
He now had eight Invasion Bookmarks.
"Should I try my luck with the covenant loot boxes?" he wondered.
The Library is a safe zone in the game. Apostles can invade others here, but cannot be invaded themselves.
Unless they are waiting for an open challenge in the ’Book of Challenges’, which cannot be considered an invasion.
The Fire Transmission King’s alias was already known to Amos, so it wasn’t suitable for open challenges anymore.
On the other hand, the covenant invasions could still continue privately against random players with no impact.
The more victories in the covenant invasions, the better the loot boxes from the covenant rewards will be. If he’s lucky with the eight bookmarks, he could amass a significant amount.
Lin Xun thought about it briefly then switched to hunting mode.
The eight bookmarks were used up quickly. As he had expected, when he tried to invade using the ’Almighty True Knowledge’ covenant, the underworld game displayed a message saying, "Unable to match with opposing Apostle".
So, all eight invasions were spent on the ’Golden Sun’ covenant in the Blood Sun world.
This wave of invasions was like bullying small children. Using the Earth Giant’s Shell, not a single Apostle could withstand his hit.
For a moment, he felt the loneliness of being on top of the world.
"Ah, being invincible is so, so lonely," he sighed.
Incidentally, all invaders were of second and third difficulty; he didn’t even encounter a fourth difficulty one.
Though his invasion authority had increased, alas, the loot from the novice players was disappointing.
Lin Xun felt that he would have had better luck invading ’Big Brother’, perhaps even gathering more loot.
"I’ll look for you next time. Let the chives grow a bit," he thought.
[You approach and touch the ’Book of Covenants’, and a resonance occurs between the weak Wandering Spirit and the book.]
[You can now use the covenant function of the ’Book of Covenants’]
Lin Xun clicked on the ’Golden Sun’ covenant.
[Covenant: Your covenant is ’Golden Sun’, current enemy covenant: Blood Sun covenant, current friendly covenant: White Moon covenant.]
[After a victorious covenant invasion, you can use the victories to exchange for unknown rewards. Current number of victories: 8]
[Do you want to redeem the covenant reward?]
Without hesitation, Lin Xun pressed ’Yes’.
[You have received the covenant reward, resetting your number of covenant victories to zero.]
[You have obtained the ’Prayers of the Golden Sun’ (Rare+ Level Equipment)!]
[’Prayers of the Golden Sun’ (Rare+ Level Weapon): A thick book with a pure gold cover, engraved with a radiant ’Golden Sun’. The book still exudes a faint fragrance, suggesting its previous owner was a holy girl from a certain diocese.]
[Using this weapon will slightly enhance your healing-related skills.]
"Eh, a healer’s gear?"
Ever since parting ways with the nun, Lin Xun hadn’t come across any healers.
Little did he realize the value of a nun back then, rather, he treated the Blood Sun Cultists as treasures.
Unexpectedly, the covenant reward this time was equipment for a healer.
"This is a good sign... perhaps I’ll encounter a long-awaited healer’s Shell in the next Chapter."
Epic+ Level weapons are worth between thirty to fifty thousand, but he didn’t sell this temporarily unused piece.
Players who frequently play card-drawing games all believe in metaphysics.
Lin Xun firmly believed that ’Prayers of the Golden Sun’ would bring him a healer’s Shell.
"It’s time to start the new Chapter."
He felt he was thoroughly prepared and ready for a new journey.
As he hadn’t received an SSS rank in the last Chapter
This time he chose to enter the next Chapter with a slightly lower difficulty: ’Nightmare’.
He walked up and clicked on the ’Book of Salvation’.
[Do you want to open the next Chapter and start the next journey to save the world?]
[You can randomly enter the fourth difficulty Chapter.]
[As you received a rank of D or higher in the last Chapter, you can randomly enter the fifth difficulty Chapter.]
[Since you received B rank or higher in the last Chapter, you can randomly enter the fifth difficulty Chapter (Nightmare).]
