The Death List Novel - Chapter 171
Chapter 171 Eye Of The Clock
Apart from the [Fighting Spear], the other bronze scroll that Katrin dropped was the [Arc Ballistics] she had used. The arc trajectory was the same type as Qin Lun’s spiral shooting technique. Learning this skill was equivalent to overlapping.
Qin Lun sighed. The Broken Starry Sky had already taken good care of him. Just one [Greene’s Deathly Enemy] had dropped three skill scrolls, and it was entirely his hands that had led him to open up his career path. He could no longer be expected to tailor these three skill scrolls to himself. These were all skills that Catherine and David had used in battle.
Although learning arc trajectory allowed Qin Lun to use spiral shots without entering the combat model, he wasn’t prepared to use it. Currently, spiral shooting could only be used based on the precision of the combat model. However, as long as the body of Laws was used countless times to form muscular memories, Qin Lun believed that the self-created spiral shooting technique would also be recognized by the Laws of Fragmentation and become a true apostle skill.
After putting the [C-class Arc Trajectory] back into his storage space, Qin Lun opened the last Silver Skill Scroll and his eyes lit up.
[Clock’s Eye (B-level Active Skill)]: This skill is a perceptual skill. When the pointer of [Clock’s Eye] starts to beat, the spellcaster’s mind and perception will operate at several times the normal speed, achieving a virtual temporal and spatial stagnation effect; When the third pointer appears in the Eye of the Clock, perception changes into an invisible line of space and time.
Skill Effect 1: When the Eye of the Clock is in operation, the spellcaster gains a virtual stagnation of space and time with varying effects, allowing him to think calmly during an enemy attack and arrive at the best solution.
Skill Effect 2: After the third pointer appeared in the Eye of the Bell, the line of space and time formed by perception was able to simulate part of the enemy’s offensive and defensive skills. This simulation ability was based on one’s own skill and body attributes.
Skill Effect 3: Star Black Hole, information ominous, requires skill level to be upgraded to A class.
Skill Effect 4: Wheel of Destiny, information ominous, requires skill level to be upgraded to S level.
Skill Description: The Eye of the Clock’s perceptual acceleration is based on the number of pointers and timeliness. Its duration is related to the spellcaster’s magic power. In terms of the apostle’s custom energy value, a single pointer consumes 20 energy per second and a dual pointer consumes 100 energy per second.
Skill Description: After the Eye of the Clock skill has been upgraded to B +, you can use the three pointer lines of time and space. In addition to consuming energy, it will also consume a certain amount of Apostle Currency.
Looking at the introduction of the Eye of the Clock, Qin Lun sighed and shook his head. Joey was lucky to be able to escape from David, the King of Vectors. Either David was too old to continue using the high-level skill of the Eye of the Clock.
After unlocking the three spheres of light, Qin Lun no longer hesitated. He rubbed his hands together and learned the Fighting Spear Technique and the Eye of the Clock. He had already tested the skill scroll several times in the training ground, so there wouldn’t be any accidents in learning the skill scroll. Skills scrolls are best trained for a while, so that the muscles can remember to a certain degree of familiarity, and then learn better.
As the dots of light from Fighting Spear merged into his body, Qin Lun slowly closed his eyes. Thirty-two diagrams of fighting movements appeared clearly in his mind.
Because this skill came from Katrin, the figure in the diagram looked like Katrin. Catherine was still holding onto her guns, dressed coolly, maintaining her previous appearance. However, her current expression was dull, completely devoid of the animation of a living person.
Thirty-two battle diagrams merged into Qin Lun’s Laws Body like symbols. His consciousness could use these battle diagrams everywhere, allowing his body to follow the diagrams and create the exact same fighting spear technique.
Ordinary apostles would still need some time to familiarize themselves with this fighting diagram, allowing their bodies to form muscular memories that could be used accurately in actual battles. Qin Lun could omit this familiar process through the combat model. However, if he wanted to use his fighting spear technique to increase its power to the B + level, he would also need to continuously train and fight.
Compared to Fighting Spear, Eye of the Clock wasn’t that troublesome. As the spots of light from the scroll merged into the Laws’ body, a clock-shaped eye symbol appeared on Qin Lun’s [Devil Weave Core] at the same time.
Qin Lun tried to use his consciousness to activate the Eye of the Clock. The scene in front of him immediately turned into a simple black-and-white color, as if he was watching a black-and-white film.
At this moment, his bright black pupils transformed into clockwork. Inside, a tiny hand was slowly beating. Qin Lun raised both of his hands in front of him. This normal movement now gave him two completely different feelings.
Qin Lun didn’t feel anything strange in his body. In the eyes of his clock, the movements of his hands were more than twice as slow as usual, as if the entire movement had been decomposed into several slow scenes. If he concentrated his gaze, the tiny pores on the back of his hand would be vivid and distinct.
The elven bloodline itself had good eyesight, and now with the Eye of the Clock, Qin Lun could even feel that his eyes had turned into a pair of precision telescopes. If he were given a Kar98k rifle now, he was confident that he could hit a target a kilometer away without a sniper mirror.
After familiarizing himself with the Eye of the Clock, Qin Lun tried to use two hands. However, in just a few seconds, the pupils of the clock in his eyes faded away. The clockwork of the two hands consumed too much energy, making it difficult for him to hold on. In just a few seconds, he had a feeling of exhaustion.
There was no essential difference between the two hands and the clock eyes of a single hand. It was just that he had a stronger sense of stagnation in space and time, a sharper mind, and a vague illusion that his line of sight had turned into a real object. However, in the process of his gaze transforming into a real body, he always felt that there was still a thin film in front of him. It was as if only after he broke through this thin film would he be able to turn his gaze into a line of space and time.
Qin Lun curled his lips. He knew that before the Eye of the Clock was upgraded to B + and the third pointer appeared, he probably wouldn’t be able to use the Space-Time Lines and the Attack-Defense Simulation ability.
After experiencing the Eye of the Clock, Qin Lun’s ability to simulate the line of space and time had a blurry feeling. This simulation ability should be able to thoroughly analyze the enemy’s skills through the Line of Space and Time, and then replicate the enemy’s skills based on their own understanding of the laws of skills and physical abilities.
If it was a range of Laws that he couldn’t understand, he couldn’t simulate it. At the same time, due to the accelerated thinking of the Eye of the Clock, it was very difficult for him to form a specific memory of this skill in his body. In other words, unless he continuously simulated an enemy skill countless times, he would not be able to turn the opponent’s skill into his own inherent skill.
From this point of view, the simulation ability of the Eye of the Clock is somewhat similar to Grant’s “Clown Gift”. However, the [Gift of the Clown] was basically aimed at melee combat skills and was incapable of dealing with magical skills. Qin Lun, relying on his Moonlight Elf bloodline, should be able to simulate wind and wood magical skills.
Of course, Grant’s [Gift of the Clown] could last for a few minutes, and even if Qin Lun’s Eye of the Clock’s simulation ability was greatly enhanced in the future, it would probably not last for so long. It was only a simulation replication of a single skill.
Even so, the Eye of the Clock was still a powerful auxiliary skill. After obtaining the Eye of the Clock, Qin Lun’s combat model would become even more mature. If the original combat model could only perform several combat actions, then the current combat model was more like a composite model of several small models.
As long as he wasn’t interrupted by the enemy’s powerful skills, Qin Lun could even create a recycled combat model that could greatly relax his combat environment. With the real-time assistance of the Eye of the Clock, he no longer needed to gather a large amount of enemy information in advance to create a battle model.
After finishing his thoughts, Qin Lun stood up contentedly. Just as he was about to leave, his body stiffened slightly. It seemed as if the nomological body had adapted to the two newly fused skills during this period of time, several important notifications came from the death list at the right time.
[Apostle 70053, you have already become a Second Grade Apostle. The number of Law Body Fusion Skills has reached the induction requirement, triggering the combat profession induction quest, activating the Apostle Combat Profession System.]
Qin Lun quickly immersed his consciousness into the death list, and a combat profession icon automatically appeared on the death list. Clicking on the combat profession icon, several profession roadmaps appeared. There were many nodes on these road maps, and each node was a combat profession.
Apart from the first node, the rest of the battle profession roadmap was grey. Only the first node emitted a blurry light. Qin Lun focused his consciousness on a certain spot of light and immediately received the description of the combat profession.
Jungle Hunter Profession Description: Jungle Hunters are proficient in using all kinds of long-range and short-range weapons. They have a certain bonus effect on the attack power of daggers, swords, spears, crossbows and firearms. The bonus effect is based on weapon skill proficiency.
The jungle hunter could skillfully create various traps, and had a certain summoning ability, but no summoning bonus. Jungle Hunters were born with high dodging, which added to the apostle’s movement and dodging skills.
Jungle Hunter Induction Requirements: Apostles are required to possess Intermediate Range Attack Skills, Basic Melee Combat Skills, and Five Jungle Hunter-related Apostle Skills. This requirement can be reduced to four apostle skills if you have the corresponding bloodline ability.
There were a total of four combat professions that Qin Lun could activate. After reading the introduction of the Jungle Hunter, he focused his attention on the other combat professions that he could activate. The other three combat professions were Demon Hunter, Combat Mage, and Beast King Hunter.
Qin Lun’s gaze flickered slightly as he opened up the introductions of the Demon Hunter, Combat Mage, and Beast King Hunter one after another, and his mind raced through the pros and cons of the four career paths.

Chapter 172 Job Options
The Beast King Hunter and the Jungle Hunter’s introductions were somewhat similar. They were able to use all kinds of long-range and short-range weapons, and at the same time, their summoning abilities had been enhanced to a certain extent. However, this enhancement was limited to beast-type creatures and some special plants. As for dead souls, puppets, and other inanimate summoning creatures, he could still possess them, but he did not increase them.
Demon Hunters also had no restrictions on the types of weapons they could use. They also possessed many auxiliary abilities, such as formations, pupils, halos of the Sacred Element, curses of the Evil Spirit Element, and so on. There is a great deal of choice in this regard, allowing the apostles to choose freely.
As for the last type of combat mage, it was a very different type of combat profession. This profession was labeled as a mage, but it wasn’t actually a ranged attack profession. Instead, he used magic to engage in close combat, which was somewhat similar to a martial artist with both martial and demonic cultivation. Qin Lun guessed that this career path had a lot to do with his own crystal mirror magic array.
These four combat professions caused Qin Lun to hesitate. He was not doubtful about the career plan he had chosen, but he lacked intelligence information and was unable to determine which profession was more suitable for him.
Although taking up a certain combat profession required one to complete an induction mission, choosing the right path now was clearly helpful in preparing for the skill mix of the profession in advance.
In fact, Qin Lun did not know that ordinary apostles would not have such happy troubles. Ordinary apostles had great difficulty in obtaining skill scrolls. Before they started their career path, they had experienced more than ten foreign missions.
These apostles had generally obtained enough intelligence information to plan their own career path earlier than Qin Lun. Normally, when they obtained a skill scroll, they would immediately exchange it for a specific skill. Therefore, when they activated their profession system, there would generally only be one or two very similar combat professions, not a variety of professions like Qin Lun.
However, when Qin Lun tried to focus his attention on the gray subsequent advancement professions, he finally made his choice.
Fighting mages were first excluded by Qin Lun. This combat profession mainly focused on melee combat. Even if it had an enhanced effect on some magic, it was equivalent to restarting the stove and crippling his current strongest long-range attack ability.
The subsequent advancement of a combat mage was indeed a mo martial artist. If martial skills were used as the main force and techniques as the auxiliary force, the sword xiu of the Eastern myth would appear in the final profession. If magic was the main force and martial skills were the auxiliary force, then the demigod’s combat profession in Western mythology would appear.
There were several branches of the Demon Hunter profession, including the Great Druid, the Alchemist, the Puppet Master, and so on. Their abilities were strange. The advantage was that it could deal with many complicated combat environments, basically belonging to the Myriad Oil category, but compared to other combat professions, it lacked powerful trump cards.
After careful consideration, Qin Lun also chose to give up. It was very difficult for someone like him to gain the trust of others. The Ten Thousand Gold Profession seemed to be all-encompassing. Without the help of others, it would be very difficult to lack a trump card in the later stages.
As for Beast King Hunters and Jungle Hunters, they were two similar combat professions. In terms of ranged attacks and melee combat abilities, they were not much different. However, the Beast King Hunters paid more attention to summoning creatures, while the Jungle Hunters tended to strengthen their survivability, possessing high evasion and certain camouflage abilities.
After becoming a Beast King Hunter, he would directly obtain a summoned cub from a different space-time. As a Jungle Hunter, he would randomly obtain a camouflage skill or a trap skill.
According to Qin Lun’s original plan, he should have chosen the Beast King Hunter. Because with the current attention paid to him by the Broken Star System, he was likely to obtain a high-quality summoned cub. Once this summoned creature grew, it would be equivalent to having a powerful helper who would never betray him.
However, Qin Lun could only choose the jungle hunter because Joey didn’t agree to choose the Beast King Hunter.
Joey’s fighting profession was actually a combat mage. The Decomposer yearned for the sword xiu profession in Eastern mythology. Even in the western Demigod Battle Profession, he could accept that he didn’t want to be a Beast King Hunter hiding behind the summoned creature.
In the end, after a willpower contest, the two finally chose the jungle hunter as a compromise profession. In fact, even though the jungle hunter was currently focused on long-range attacks, supplemented by trap mechanisms and melee combat, at the end of the day, he would become a combat profession that was extremely powerful in melee combat and long-range attacks-the Demon Hunter.
In the description of the Demon Hunter, an apostle must possess two mixed bloodlines, the Elven bloodline and the Demon bloodline. Although the restrictions on mixing the two bloodlines were extremely strict and the price paid was unimaginable, it was not an unreachable goal in the Horn of the Abyss.
One had to know that this apostle city had both the Abyss Devils and the Moonlight Fairies as its rulers. Qin Lun had good relations with Berylseth of the Abyss Devils and Malfoy Moria of the Elves.
Qin Lun sighed, even though he couldn’t get the Beast King Hunter profession he wanted. However, after becoming a jungle hunter, he could also obtain a trap skill or camouflage skill. It was not entirely unacceptable that his survival rate had greatly increased.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun remembered something else. Ever since his Maya Summoning Technique had acquired the [Summoning Stack] skill, he seemed to have been missing two summoning spots.
Qin Lun intended to keep one of these summoning seats for Frank. After finding a suitable body, he would transfer Frank’s soul from the Maya Crystal. Although this was only an idea for the time being, he had to have a trusted assistant when the Killer Demon Team took shape.
Although Frank’s soul had been brought into the shattered starry sky by Maya’s crystal ball, the chances of him becoming an apostle were extremely low. He could only resurrect it by summoning it. Perhaps this would require Kieran to pay a certain price.
As for the other summoner … Qin Lun touched his chin. It seemed that he should talk to Berylseth again. The elves were unlikely to agree to let an elf be his summoner, while ordinary plants and animals were of little help to the apostles. Only the Abyss Devils had powerful creatures with low intelligence but high combat strength.
After thinking about the plans for summoning creatures, Qin Lun finally refocused his attention on his combat profession. After choosing the jungle hunter as his future career path, he began to seriously inquire about the conditions of employment for the jungle hunter.
To become a jungle hunter, the apostle had to first reach the second level, which he had already achieved. The jungle hunter needed to possess intermediate ranged attack skills and basic melee fighting skills. He had intermediate firearms proficiency and basic swordsmanship, so he could also meet the requirements.
As for the five apostle skills related to the jungle hunter’s combat profession, due to his Moon Night Elf bloodline, he was reduced to four. Among them, the Wind Drift Technique met the requirements of the Forest Hunter’s movement technique, the Maize Summoning Technique and the Eye of the Clock met the requirements of the Battle Auxiliary Technique, and the Fighting Spear Technique met the requirements of the Attack Technique.
To Qin Lun’s surprise, the Weakness Predictor and Spiral Shooting that he had created using the combat model were also considered secondary skills. Although he didn’t have any professional requirements, he was still recognized by the Laws of Fragmentation. Obviously, after the Laws Body formed a muscular memory, these two skills would also become the Jungle Hunter’s profession skills.
As a result, there was only one condition that prevented Qin Lun from becoming a Jungle Hunter, and that was the inaugural mission.
Currently, Qin Lun’s four career paths (Demon Hunter, Combat Mage, Jungle Hunter, and Beast King Hunter) all had inaugural missions. Among them, the Demon Hunter only lacked one skill, and the Combat Mage lacked two.
Qin Lun could accept these four inaugural missions at the same time. However, if he did not take up his post in the end, he would not be rewarded with a mission. This was probably the standard given to all the apostles by the Broken Star System, allowing them more time to think and avoid regrets after taking up combat professions during their inaugural assignments.
Although the apostles could still be changed after taking up a combat profession, the apostles’ own skills needed to be recombined. This was clearly a price that no apostle could afford.
[Apostle 70053, you have received the Jungle Hunter’s inaugural mission: The Hunter’s Adulthood Ceremony. Mission objective: Capture or kill an Intermediate Tier 5 creature independently, regardless of creature type (excluding the Apostle), time and space, free to hunt in another world or shattered starry sky.]
He was actually able to directly take up his post in the Broken Star System! After Qin Lun saw the mission clearly, his eyes lit up. Although the mission objective required independent capture and hunting, since it could be carried out in the Broken Star System, it would be possible to obtain biological information from the apostle cities and choose a suitable target for hunting.
“Apostle 70053, the Jungle Hunter’s inaugural rewards include the following:
1. A jungle hunter can gain an all-round upgrade of his Laws Body;
2. After completing the inaugural mission, he will be automatically given a vocational skill (camouflage skill or trap skill);
3. The apostle’s current dagger, sword, crossbow, and firearm skills will be improved to a certain degree;
4. An apostle can use the ‘Adult Gift’ obtained from an inaugural mission to refine a long-range offensive weapon, which has a certain chance of improving the quality of the weapon or improving the power of the skill (Life Slaughter is not within the range of improvement).
5. The apostle’s current Movement Evasion skill will receive a Law boost. If the apostle does not have a Movement Evasion skill for the time being, the Law of Fragmentation will randomly reward a Movement Evasion skill. ”
After reading the inaugural reward, Qin Lun stretched his waist and a burst of hunger came from his stomach. The body of Laws also consumed energy, and eating was still essential.
Qin Lun walked out of the room and just as he entered the living room, Didi stood up from the sofa in surprise.
“Master, you’ve come out. There are a few messages on the caller!”

Chapter 173 Kelly’s Pointers
The message on the pager belonged to Berylseth and Malfoy. As the administrators of the apostle city, these two fellows could easily obtain information about Qin Lun’s return from another world from the registration records in the teleportation hall.
Although they didn’t know if Qin Lun had successfully completed the third alien mission, they could easily draw conclusions from the clues in the next few days. For example: Didi’s activities at the auction house, Qin Lun’s training at the training ground and so on.
Generally speaking, if the beginner apostles successfully passed the first three missions, their chances of survival would be greatly increased. Like Qin Lun, none of the previous three missions had failed, and the success rate was 100%. This meant that this apostle’s potential was enormous, and it was completely worth roping in and investing in.
The success rate of the first three missions was not only a measure of the apostolic potential of intelligent races, but also a measure of how many large apostolic teams recruited new members. If Qin Lun had proven 100% success in his previous three missions through the relevant records of the Horn of the Abyss and announced this information to the Metropolitan Mercenary House, there would have been a large-scale recruiter coming to him by now.
Beelzebub and Malfoy’s messages were just ordinary greetings. Qin Lun pondered for a moment before replying to both of them with a message. The reply to Malfoy was ordinary, but in Beelzebub’s reply, he vaguely said that he was about to change his profession and needed the help of the Sly Demon.
Berylseth quickly replied, first expressing his congratulations to Qin Lun, and then saying that he would visit the villa tomorrow evening.
Originally, Qin Lun’s attitude towards the Abyss Devils and the Moon Night Elves had already changed. Although Berylseth had invested in him, it was more like a deal. There weren’t many favors involved. The deal between the elves and Qin Lun involved a lot of favors, such as the World Tree Fruit.
This World Tree Fruit, which involved the Moon Night Fairy bloodline, was obviously traded by the Big Black Bear BEN for an equivalent price. For this reason, Qin Lun owed the Moon Night Fairy 50,000 broken crystals. In fact, compared to the intrinsic value of the Moonlight Fairy bloodline, he had already taken advantage of it. Apart from shattering the crystal, he also owed Lower Marfa a big favor.
If it weren’t for the fact that the forest hunters had the option of advancing to the Abyss Devils Hunter realm, Qin Lun would have already planned to gradually weaken his relationship with Berylseth and maintain a normal exchange with the Abyss Devils in the future.
However, since he also had a bloodline need for the Abyss Devils, Qin Lun couldn’t reveal any more information about the change of profession to Malfoy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to win favors from both sides in the future. Moreover, he still owed the Moonlight Fairy 50,000 broken crystals. No matter how thick his skin was, he was too embarrassed to extend his hand for benefits.
Now that he had come to Berylseth, he wasn’t looking for the Abyss Devil bloodline right away. With his current strength, even if he obtained the Abyss Devil bloodline, he could only use one bloodline to replace the other. There was no possibility of mixing the two bloodlines. Only in the distant future, when Qin Lun approached the Demon Hunter’s career path, would he be able to combine the two bloodlines.
This time, Qin Lun had called Beelzebub to try to obtain a summoning item from the Abyss Devils. Of course, this was only an idea for the time being. Perhaps only Beelzebub would be able to give him an answer as to whether it could be implemented or not.
After receiving Berylseth’s reply, Qin Lun thought for a moment and sent another inquiry message to a high-level apostle.
This high-order apostle was the female apostle who had explained the fruit of the World Tree to him. This apostle wore an elven mask and had a deep relationship with the Moonlight Elves. This time, Qin Lun wanted to ask her about the inaugural mission and the jungle hunter’s career information.
The next day, before Beelzebub came to visit, the high-ranking apostle called first.
“Oh, so it’s you. Have you reached the threshold to change professions?” The moment the contact projection was opened, a familiar and exquisite voice rang out from Qin Lun’s mouth.
“Yes, I’ve already received my inaugural mission!” Qin Lun said with a smile.
“Oh? What profession are you going to change?” The female apostle in the elven mask lazily yawned and asked carelessly.
“Jungle Hunters! In addition, there are also options for Demon Hunters, Beast King Hunters, and Combat Mages!” Qin Lun quickly revealed his career plan and the description of his four combat professions. He only omitted the apostle skills he possessed.
The apostle’s combat profession was not, to some extent, a very important piece of information. Even if it was the same combat profession, if they had different skill sets, they would still have completely different combat styles.
Moreover, as long as a genius like Qin Lun had enough time, he would sooner or later emerge from the Horn of the Devil. At that time, much of his information, including his combat profession, could not be kept a secret. Only by reasonably matching professional skills and minimizing the flaws in his fighting style could he truly protect himself.
“Four combat professions?” The female apostle’s body stiffened slightly, and her clear and pleasant voice carried an undisguised surprise. “How many mission worlds have you crossed? Wait, I remember the last time you asked about transforming the World Tree Fruit into an elven bloodline. It seems like more than ten days have passed!”
“Yes, I have already crossed … six mission worlds!” Qin Lun frowned slightly. The strange tone of the female apostle made him feel a trace of vigilance. Without hesitation, he doubled the mission world he had crossed.
From Malfoy and Berylseth’s kindness to him and the occasional revelation, Kieran was able to deduce that he was one of the better apostles. However, he did not know exactly how outstanding he was.
After all, it had been less than two months since he had entered the Shattered Star System, and he had to go to another world to perform missions every half month. More than ten days after the handover, it was only enough for him to recover his state of mind. He simply did not have time to communicate with the other apostles and share his experiences and insights with them.
Although Qin Lun had subconsciously doubled the number of quest worlds he had crossed, it was still a shocking achievement that six quest worlds had obtained elven bloodlines and successfully stepped into the threshold of class change.
‘”A beginner apostle like him doesn’t usually store quest rewards. When he returns to the fragmented world, he will reap the rewards within a few days. From the time he obtained the elven bloodline to the time he stepped into the profession threshold, there are only a dozen days left. In other words, his quest interval is likely to be between half a month and a month!”
Kelly looked at Qin Lun, who was slightly absent-minded. She calculated quickly in her heart and muttered to herself, “It’s impossible for a beginner apostle to have too many skills. There is only one possibility for him to obtain four professions, and that is, several of these skills are compound skills.”
Judging from the names of the four combat professions, either his offensive and defensive skills combined ranged attacks and melee combat, or he possessed several valuable auxiliary abilities, or even both.
“The six mission worlds seem a bit exaggerated … However, I have indeed not heard rumors about this apostle in the Moonlight Fairy or the Horn of the Devil. From the looks of it, there shouldn’t be any problems within the ten mission worlds!”
As her thoughts deepened, Kelly’s gaze towards Qin Lun gradually brightened, and the expression behind the mask began to become complicated. Apart from guessing the wrong number of mission worlds, Kelly’s judgment was basically close to the truth, and the inexperienced murderer didn’t know that he had already leaked the truth.
“Originally, I thought that I was just training a new Elf apostle, but I didn’t expect that I would actually get an Original Diamond!” Behind the mask, a cunning, fox-like smile appeared on her pretty face.
“Do you have any suggestions for the combat profession I choose?” Although he couldn’t see the other party’s face clearly, Qin Lun could feel something was amiss in his clear and bright eyes, and he twisted his body unnaturally.
Qin Lun really valued the advice of the high-ranking apostle. Although he had already set the jungle hunter as his target, if the high-ranking apostle gave him more reasonable advice, then both Joey and he would need to reconsider.
“I don’t know your specific abilities. In terms of your career planning, both Beast King Hunters and Jungle Hunters are good choices.” Kelly said seriously, “From my experience, I can only give you two useful suggestions!”
“Oh? Please tell me, if the reward is within 10,000 broken crystals, I am willing to pay!” Qin Lun said cautiously.
“Haha, it’s just experience. Let’s treat it as a free gift from the previous transaction!” Kelly said with a smile.
‘”You just need to remember two things. First, the path of the apostles’ careers is ever-changing. Before reaching the final profession, there will be other hidden branch options. You must choose carefully and make your choices as wide as possible. Although it will be wasteful, it will be much better than regretting it in the future.”
‘”Are you saying that in the future, there might be valuable equipment or skills that will appear in other realms’ missions, but they will also deviate from my career path. Do you want me to be prepared for unexpected situations?” Qin Lun thought for a moment and understood.
“You’re very smart!” A light flashed in Kelly’s eyes. “There is a possibility that anything will happen in the mission world. As long as you continue to live, there will be irresistible temptations. If your career path is too narrow, you may miss out on opportunities. The more valuable the item, the harder it will be to trade, and the more opportunities you will have to choose.”
“What about the second point?” Qin Lun nodded noncommittally.
“Second point? After you understand the inaugural mission, do you really want to complete the inaugural mission in the Broken Star System?” Kelly blinked her eyes and smiled.
“Yes, my mission is to hunt a Tier 5 Intermediate creature. In the Broken Star Sky, I can obtain more comprehensive target information and even ask mercenaries to help me with some auxiliary work!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he spoke frankly.
‘”Haha, any effort is equivalent to a reward. It’s not impossible to complete an inaugural mission in the Broken Star System. However, I suggest that you place the inaugural mission in the mission world. If the apostle level is not high, you can even delay the completion of the mission world for a few more missions!” Kelly said with a smile.

Chapter 174 Loss
“Can you tell me why?” Qin Lun asked doubtfully.
“An apostle with a combat profession has a higher level of difficulty than an apostle without a combat profession!” “A lot of junior apostles who know the situation will delay the induction process because they can accumulate in low-difficulty missions,” Kelly said casually. “Of course, if you’re comfortable with the difficulty of the current mission, then forget about it!”
“So it’s like this!” Qin Lun looked up thoughtfully and sincerely thanked him, “Thank you for your guidance!”
“Nothing much. This can only be considered common sense. It seems like you don’t communicate much with the other apostles.” Kelly said calmly, “Professional apostles can’t walk alone forever. Later missions require the full cooperation of the team. Are you interested in joining my team?”
“Join your team?” Qin Lun sighed slightly, knowing that he was not low-key enough to attract the other party’s attention.
In apostolic cities, it is forbidden to inquire about other apostles. In this regard, intelligent races did a better job than apostles, and there was basically no way to obtain information from other apostles other than through their own network of relationships.
The growth of an apostle was not within the normal range. As long as any apostle was still alive, it was possible for him to turn over a salty fish. The grudges between the apostles had nothing to do with the intelligent races. Once the intelligent races were involved, the long-term revenge of the apostles would be enough for the entire race to slowly fall.
This was the law of survival that intelligent races had learned from the lessons of blood for thousands of years. No native race would ignore the existence of their race for a slight benefit. Just like the Earth Federation, even if a superpower could use a nuclear bomb to destroy an enemy country at any time, no supreme leader would actually press that nuclear button.
The female apostle opposite Qin Lun was undoubtedly a high-level apostle, but she was also unable to obtain his personal information from the Moonlight Fairy. Now that she invited him to join Lost, it was obvious that Qin Lun had attracted her attention in some places just now.
“My team is called ‘Lost’. Although it isn’t the top few in the Corner of the Abyss, it is still ranked in the top ten. There are currently more than 200 members. “I’m the deputy captain of one of the core divisions. If you’re willing to join Lost, I can make you a full member. You don’t need to be selected from the periphery. We only have less than 30 full members!” Kelly said seriously.
“No, thank you. Actually, I already have a guild. Although they are all newbies, everyone is from the same world as me. They are familiar with each other. I cannot betray them!” Qin Lun said happily, “However, we really need guidance. I wonder if you can introduce me to the system of large teams.”
‘”Haha, you’re really greedy! I can’t disclose’lost’ information to outsiders. However, every large guild’s composition is about the same. The core members, the official members, and then the largest number of peripheral members.” Kelly laughed. “You don’t have to reject me right now. This invitation will remain valid. Perhaps in the near future, you will rethink this suggestion!”
“Aren’t you optimistic about our rookie team?” Qin Lun rolled his eyes and asked respectfully.
“… Well, I think you’d better disband your guilds and let the rookies join other large guilds so that you can survive better.” Kelly sighed. “It may be cruel to say so, but it’s full of ideals and bones. Most of the rookie teams I’ve seen will end up in the mission world. Even if a few of them persist, there won’t be many old members left in the first place.”
“Why is this?” Qin Lun frowned slightly. He vaguely realized what Kelly was trying to say.
‘”Experience … The storyline of the quest is ever-changing. There are countless possibilities. No matter how talented an apostle is, as long as he is a newbie, he will definitely make mistakes. Some mistakes can be made up for, but some are enough to destroy the guild.” Kelly said with a gloomy expression, as if she remembered something from the past. “Before the guild truly matures, you will have to go through dozens of mission worlds. You will definitely encounter this kind of time!”
Qin Lun fell silent. A team that wasn’t united enough couldn’t advance, but a rookie team that was united enough would be annihilated at some point. Indeed, sooner or later, as Kelly had said, they would encounter unsolvable problems.
However, would a guild made up of murderers be different? Qin Lun’s eyes flashed!
“Actually, each team’s style of work is different, and the rules are different. Some teams seem to be more arrogant and act recklessly, but in fact, they are very united inside. Being arrogant is just an external performance. Others are humble outside, but there are mountains inside. They are competitive …” Kelly let out a long sigh as if she wanted to put aside her previous low spirits.
“Your team must be a typical example of outward tyranny and internal solidarity!” Qin Lun teased with a smile.
“Oh? Why do you think that?” Kelly raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise.
‘”Haha, the Horn of the Abyss has a total of ten thousand apostles and hundreds of apostle guilds. However, to have more than two hundred outer members, you must be a guild that protects the calves. That’s why the elementary apostles are fond of you. Since the guild is very protective of the calves, you will naturally be arrogant and lenient to the inner side!” Qin Lun said indifferently.
“You are indeed a smart person!” Kelly said meaningfully, “Consider my suggestion. If your companions are as good as you, consider joining Lost. Not all of them are full members, but at least we can survive together.”
“I will consider your suggestion. Thank you for your guidance!” Qin Lun bowed.
Turning off the video projection, Kelly smiled and clicked on the pager again to find a professional mysterious person in her team.
“Jack, tell the Fairy Race that we are going to recruit a group of potential rookies. Then help me track down which rookies and apostles have been notified by those elven elders!”
“Big Sister Kelly, this will damage our relationship with the Moonlight Fairy!” A young face appeared on the other side of the projector.
“It’s fine. Aren’t you always boasting that you’re the number one thief in the guild? It’s good that they don’t find out!” Kelly giggled bitterly.
“After all, they are elves. I’m under a lot of pressure!” Jack said with a worried expression, “If the Guild Leader finds out, I will definitely eat the ribs!”
“I will explain it to the Guild Leader. Are you going to do it or not?” Kelly raised her eyebrows and said fiercely.
“Alright, big sister, you have to explain it to the Guild Leader!” Jack sighed weakly.
…
After the communication ended, Qin Lun sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought. The apostle’s words made sense. He was very confident in his mind, but so far, he had made several mistakes, both in the Broken Star System and in the Mission World.
There were mistakes in understanding equipment, in judging the difficulty of missions, and in underestimating the strength of enemies. These mistakes had nothing to do with minds, and were purely due to lack of experience. Although he had passed the previous three missions, his luck could not be ignored.
He couldn’t just rely on his luck to go all the way. Perhaps he should be more active and help set up a team of murderers as soon as possible. As for Kelly’s invitation, Qin Lun had no thoughts at all.
Team Points Ranking could not fully represent the team’s strength, but being able to stand out from the horns of the Abyss with tens of thousands of apostles and hundreds of apostle teams, Lost should be a fairly powerful large team. This kind of large-scale guild had strict rules, so it was easy to get in but hard to get out. Qin Lun might not care, but it was definitely not suitable for Joey.
“It may take some time for those people to comprehend the need to establish a team of murderers. Perhaps I should first find a new team and test how to survive the extermination of the team!” Qin Lun muttered to himself as he shook the glass in his hand.
“Master, I’m back. Elder Berylseth has come with me!” Didi’s reminder came from outside the door.
“Oh!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he stood up politely and welcomed Berylseth into the hall.
“Your welcome really flatters me!” Berylseth smiled bitterly as he sat down and took the glass Qin Lun handed him. “Looks like I’m going to bleed again this time!”
“Is it that obvious?” Qin Lun rubbed his nose awkwardly. Even though he was smart, he was still not tactful enough in dealing with people. Especially when dealing with an old fox like Berylseth, he would be seen through at a glance.
“Haha, I’ve experienced your wit before. Compared to your intelligence and strength, your face and disguise are far inferior!” Berylseth said with a smile.
Even though it was only the second time he had dealt with them, the old cunning demon did not show any strangeness. His tone caused people to involuntarily become intimate. As expected of the foreign affairs elders of the Abyss Devils who were especially responsible for receiving the new apostles.
“Alright, in dealing with you, it’s better to confess!” Qin Lun sighed and his smiling face regained its indifference. “I invited you here because I need some help!”
“Of course, it’s my honor to serve an apostle like you.” Beelzebub’s smile did not diminish, but his eyes flashed. “However, can you tell me why you are looking for us Abyss Devils? In my impression, you seem to be more inclined towards the Moon Night Elves!”
Hearing Berylseth’s words, Qin Lun was silent for a while. He finally sighed and said seriously, “The Moonlight Fairy is the first intelligent race that has given me great help since I entered the Broken Star System. It was a beautiful time in the Moonlight Forest. I will never forget the friendship of the Fairy race …”
“I think there should be a’but ‘behind you.” Berylseth blinked his scarlet eyes and smiled.
“But … after successfully touching the threshold of my profession, I discovered that unless I fully accept the Moonnight Fairy’s concept and martial skill path, the support of the Fairy race will be very limited. They will not be able to meet some of my needs!” Qin Lun said seriously.
“As for us Abyss Devils, can we? Is that so?” Berylseth narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
“It’s not just the Abyss Devils. It should be said that all races in the Chaos Alliance can do it!” Qin Lun glanced at the old cunning devil indifferently. Even if he wanted someone, he didn’t want to be led by the nose.
“But I am the most sincere, am I not?” Beelzebub didn’t seem to notice the spikes in Qin Lun’s words at all. He smiled and asked, “What can the Abyss Devils do for you?”
