I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 569:

Chapter 569: Chapter 569: The Water of Life

Seeing the system notifications appear on the screen like a splash, Song Jian was dumbfounded.

When completing this mission, the system mentioned several times that any decision made by Song Jian could change the course of the game. Song Jian was originally referred to as the City Lord of the City of Sin by the game system, but surprisingly, it turned out that the game system was actually referring to Anna herself.

If Anna couldn’t get in touch with the Goblet of Life, she wouldn’t be able to awaken her bloodline potential and couldn’t advance to the epic career, Life Priest, which would have a significant impact on the game’s progress.

Upon advancing her career, she instantly learned three epic-level skills. The effects of the first two skills were unclear just by looking at their names, but the third skill “Resurrection Skill” amazed Song Jian.

Resurrection Skill is the signature profession of priests in all games. If a priest doesn’t know the resurrection skill, they would definitely be called a fake priest;

However, what was strange about this game was that there wasn’t a single priest who knew Resurrection Skill.

Now, Song Jian finally understood that it turned out that only Life Priests would know the Resurrection Skill, and what’s more, the grade of the skill was not low, as it was an epic-level skill;

Even if a player could become a Life Priest, it would probably take a considerable effort to master the Resurrection Skill;

“The Goblet of Life, this is really the Goblet of Life!” Anna held the Goblet of Life tightly in both hands and exclaimed excitedly. At this moment, her entire body was glowing faintly, making her look like a goddess who had come down to earth.

A stream of water was poured from the kettle on the table into the Goblet of Life, and a melodious song by a woman echoed through the room as the water rippled gently in the goblet.

The ethereal and beautiful melody of the song that appeared out of thin air struck a chord in the hearts of both Song Jian and Anna, making them immerse involuntarily in the music;

Having no idea how much time had passed before the singing stopped, Song Jian felt a sense of los in his heart.

“Is this holy water?” While looking at the slightly rippling, milky-white liquid in the Goblet of Life, Anna asked in amazement.

As Song Jian lowered his head to look, the liquid in the Goblet of Life emitted a sweet, plant-like fragrance and appeared as thick as milk. If Song Jian hadn’t seen Anna pour the water into the Goblet of Life with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the thick white liquid was transformed from the clear water she poured in.

“It really turned into holy water!” Anna covered her mouth, tears brimming in her eyes, and couldn’t help but sob quietly;

After enduring all this pressure for so many days, Anna was finally able to let it all go today.

System: You have completed the second part of the epic-level quest. Anna is filled with gratitude towards you, and your relationship with her has been promoted to Respect. You have gained one skill point;

System: Because of your actions, Anna Katerina has obtained the epic-level profession Life Priest. Your behavior greatly influenced the game’s progress, and the game system highly approves of everything you have done. You are awarded 150,000 experience points.

A ray of light rose from Song Jian’s body, and his already nearly filled experience bar was instantly replenished. After being promoted to level 27, it jumped forward by a small margin, reaching 27 level 13%;

The experience reward given this time was extremely generous, almost equivalent to the experience points Song Jian would gain from killing monsters for a week;

With the two additional skill points, he upgraded his “Flash Thunder Strike” to level 3. The damage from level 3 Flash Thunder Strike improved from the original “150%, 110%, 70%” to “210%, 170%, 120%”, further increasing its power;

“Song Jian, thank you so much. This cup of life water, I’ll give it to you to drink.” Anna grabbed Song Jian’s hand and handed him the Goblet of Life.

Song Jian took the Goblet of Life and began to examine its properties.

“Goblet of Life (Holy Artifact), Effect: The holder of this item will receive the protection of the Goddess of Life, be immune to bad luck, and will not lose their life due to accidents; Vitality Point recovery rate increases by 300%; all properties increase by 15 points; the power of all life magics increases by 50%; Special Effect 1: Life Water (Passive), pour clean water into the Goblet of Life, and the water will turn into holy water. The first time a person drinks the holy water, their Vitality Points will increase by 500, and their cellular activity will be greatly improved; at the same time, all negative states will be removed from their body, and their Vitality Points and Spirit Points will be fully restored. This effect is only effective the first time it is used, and subsequent uses can only remove negative states and restore Vitality Points and Spirit Points; Cooldown: 24 hours; Special Effect 2: Life Shield (Active), activating this skill will trigger an 8000-defense shield around the user’s body for 30 seconds. While under the protection of the Life Shield, the user recovers 5% of their Vitality Points per second; this skill can be used only three times a day; Special Effect 3: ???; Special Effect 4: ??? Item Description: This item is Soul Locked to Anna Katerina, and no one else can use it.”

“A Holy Artifact, this is actually a holy-level item!” Song Jian’s eyes shone, and he could hardly believe what he was seeing. This was the first time he encountered a holy-level item in the game.

Furthermore, the attributes of this item were just too good. Having it was like being ”’almost invincible. Just the 15-point increase in all attributes and the 300% increase in Vitality Point recovery rate alone were enough to make Song Jian salivate, not to mention the four special effects;

Apart from Life Water and Life Shield, there were still two special effects that weren’t activated yet. Once activated, they would likely be two powerful skills;

If it weren’t for the fact that this item was already Soul Locked to Anna, Song Jian would have probably been willing to risk failing the epic-level quest just to claim the item for himself;

After reading the properties, Song Jian raised his neck and drank all the Life Water in one go. His original Vitality Points of 2,260 instantly increased to over 2,700. With such high Vitality Points, it would be hard to disagree if someone called Song Jian an elite-level BOSS;

As for the significant increase in cellular activity, Song Jian didn’t feel any different, only feeling much lighter, as if he had taken off a burden weighing several hundred pounds;

“Song Jian, I really don’t know how to express my gratitude towards you!” Anna appeared flustered as she said to Song Jian, “I don’t know if you could accompany me to the City Lord Mansion tomorrow to help treat my uncle?”

Song Jian handed the empty Goblet of Life back to Anna and immediately received a system prompt;

System: Anna issues you the third part of the epic-level quest: Escort; do you accept? Mission content: Escort Anna to the City Lord Mansion and assist her in successfully treating City Lord Kayne Sacke; Mission rewards: Obtain permanent residence rights in the City of Sin; promote your relationship with Anna Katerina to Admiration; Mission failure penalty: significantly reduce the favorability of Anna Katerina, and downgrade your relationship with her to indifference;

Accept!

Song Jian accepted the mission, having already completed the first two parts, there was no reason to give up;

After carefully reading the mission content, Song Jian had a smile at the corner of his mouth, “It seems that this escort mission won’t be easy. There must be many people in the City Lord Mansion who don’t wish the City Lord to get better!”
