The Death List Novel - Chapter 173

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.
