The Death List Novel - Chapter 174

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?”
