Chapter 432: Chapter 240 - A Big Mountain in the Capital, Easter Egg Bookmark_3
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.
Upon checking the time, there was still one minute and forty-two seconds left before the trial concluded.
So, it was the librarian who had terminated the fantasy assessment prematurely!
"I was just a little bit away from having the Nine-tailed Fox reveal its location."
"Had not the librarian interfered, I would have the location of the Nine-tailed Fox tribe by now."
With a stern face, his rage was no less intense than that of the librarian.
In a moment of fury, he felt like transforming into a giant dragon and wiping out the librarian before him with a single breath of dragon fire.
Lin Xun took a deep breath, suppressing his impulse to rage.
Firstly, the librarian had not yet distributed the rewards from the assessment, and hastily eliminating him could result in only shattered spectacles.
Secondly, this particular librarian seemed far more powerful than the two he had encountered previously.
Merely his ability to draw on the phantoms of ancient monsters was not something the incompetent librarians from Chapters Three and Four could achieve.
[The ’librarian’ looked at you coldly, immediately declaring that a plethora of monsters within the assessment remained unslain, thus your assessment performance could only be calculated based on the total count of monsters you’ve killed.]
[Do you agree with the ’librarian’s’ evaluation of your assessment?]
"Agree my foot!"
Lin Xun unhesitatingly pressed ’No’.
The librarian misled him first by only outlining that surviving to the last moment in the fantasy realm would earn the highest reward.
But he didn’t say that killing a hundred monsters was necessary to receive the highest grade.
Since the librarian voluntarily terminated the fantasy realm, he should get the highest grade and the best reward.
Lin Xun hadn’t yet picked a bone about the ’Nine-tailed Fox’ situation, yet the librarian had begun to defend himself perversely.
He swiftly summoned his ’Valkyrie’, preparing for the upcoming confrontation.
[’Combat Angel - Valkyrie’ steps out of the void...]
[She seems to sense the raging fire in your heart, and without waiting for your command, she draws the ’Arrow of Slaying the Dragon’...]
[A massive arrow is mounted on the golden longbow. A dazzling sunlight slowly condenses, and the arrowhead faintly points at the ’librarian’!]
[The old man in a black robe takes a quick glance at the Valkyrie and remarks, "A fine summon indeed."]
[He then offers a gloomy smile, muttering to himself, "I’ve been through hundreds of doomsday worlds, and have met apostles brave enough to attack me, yet here I still stand, alive and well. Why?"]
Lin Xun muttered, "Isn’t that obvious."
If this librarian had been killed by an apostle in another doomsday world, then the person standing before him might be a different librarian entirely.
Such words could also be said by the previous librarian who was killed.
Nevertheless, he still ended up being pierced through the heart by an arrow from Valkyrie, dying at the ’Star Observatory Tower in Xiamala’, didn’t he?
[You gesture at the librarian, signalling him to cut the crap and quickly produce the reward, calculated based on the highest grade.]
[The challenge he proposed was to survive until the end of the fantasy realm without dying and you’ve undoubtedly achieved that. Thus, receiving the highest reward’s only fair.]
[The librarian shook his head solemnly, declaring that you received an extra reward within the fantasy realm that you shouldn’t have, disrupting the game’s balance.]
[He wouldn’t have been so enraged if you had garnered additional rewards in a regular Chapter. But you bagged unwarranted rewards in his trial, constituting a severe dereliction of his duty as a librarian.]
[However, if you still want the highest rating, there’s a way. In exchange, you must give up the specific location of ’Kyung-gi Daegangsan’ which you discovered.]
[If you ever want to find ’Kyung-gi Daegangsan’ again, you’ll have to rely on other clues from the game.]
[Do you agree to trade with the ’librarian’?]
[Apparently to demonstrate sincerity, he takes out a strip of paper emitting iridescent light.]
[Easter Egg Bookmark (Tool): An exceedingly rare special bookmark. Utilizing it would enable you to unlock and gain access to an ’Easter Egg Chapter’.]
Lin Xun was taken aback.
"Easter Egg Chapter!"
Easter Egg Chapters were welfare segments in the underworld game, which, in comparison to the ’First-Seer Bookmark,’ was the crème de la crème of player benefits.
The ’Easter Egg Bookmark,’ which allowed access to Easter Egg Chapters, was the best gift the game offered to all the apostles!
As the name suggested, Easter Egg Chapters were not regular Chapters, but fragmentary worlds that did not exist within the normal Chapters.
They maintained the explanation and evaluation system that followed completion.
Some larger Easter Egg Chapters required a long time for completion, sometimes even a month or more, but they rewarded the player with ’Sources of Doomsday’ relevant to their completed evaluation.
Although smaller Easter Egg Chapters could be completed within a day and did not include ’Sources of Doomsday’, they still offered rare rewards based on the completed evaluation.
Without exaggeration, one ’Easter Egg Bookmark’ was as precious as a treasure chest!
