The Death List Novel - Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Physical Test (2 in 1)
“You want to test your physical fitness?” Adrian stared at Qin Lun’s face with a strange expression.

“What’s the matter?” Qin Lun rubbed his face.

“Nothing much. I thought your first mission to another world had failed!” Adrienne said in surprise.

“Why, because I didn’t deal with those attackers?” Qin Lun understood and smiled bitterly.

“No! Normally, most of the preparatory apostles won’t be able to pass the first alien mission …” Adrienne shook her head and glanced at Qin Lun. “Follow me. Moonshine Town doesn’t have any equipment to test the apostles. We’re going to Moonshine Forest.”

Adrienne instructed the elven guard beside her, then led Qin Lun to the tunnel beneath the lake. Moonshine Town was located at the bottom of Moonshine Lake. They had to go through a tunnel before they could return to the forest shore.

The elven beauty wore a black sleeveless leather armor today. Under her battle skirt woven from vines at her waist was a pair of black pantyhose that was rarely seen in the elven race. With her gorgeous face and short black hair, she looked sexy and seductive, giving Qin Lun, who was following behind her, a feast for the eyes.

“Edeline, every time an apostle successfully completes an alien mission, does he require a physical test?” Qin Lun asked politely.

“No, only low-level apostles have such requirements. High-level apostles seem to be able to control their bodies perfectly. Even if they have gained a lot from missions in other worlds, they can quickly adapt!” Edeline explained patiently.

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. The information leaked by the elven beauty was very important. In this way, the higher apostles should have a special equipment similar to the death list, capable of tightly managing the nomological body and the apostle’s soul imprint. Predecessors had already walked the path he was walking.

However, unlike Qin Lun, who had just started, the higher apostles’ “death list” should be perfect. Even if he obtained new strength from the foreign missions, he would be able to immediately display it in his special equipment. There was no need to find Floating Metropolis to test his body data.

“Here we are!” Adrienne took Qin Lun through the tunnel under the lake and walked in the forest for a while before they arrived in front of a giant tree that looked like a banyan tree on Earth.

Like some banyan trees, this giant tree has countless thick air roots. These air roots surrounded the main trunk, leaving a small gap between the air roots. Basically, they could only allow a single person to squeeze in sideways. It was a good place to hide and seek.

“You don’t want me to squeeze into this, do you?” Qin Lun pointed at the giant tree and said unhappily.

“Hehe, Sir Fernand’s Qi Root will produce a kind of hallucinogenic gas. This gas will allow the apostle to control his mind incomparably clearly and imagine the most suitable testing equipment and site for him.” Edeline proudly said, “This is a test unique to our Fairy race. Sometimes, even high-level apostles would come to Moonshine Forest to apply for it!”

“Sir Fernand?” Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders and asked in surprise, “Is this tree alive?”

“Yes, Sir Fernand is sleeping. He won’t wake up unless he is seriously injured. Just squeeze in!” Edeline suppressed her laughter and pointed at the slit between the Qi radicals.

“Alright!” Qin Lun sighed and carefully moved into the banyan tree’s Qi Root.

After squeezing into it, he realized that the space inside wasn’t as narrow as he had imagined. It seemed that Fernand had purposely used his Qi Root to surround the area, leaving a circular space between the main trunk and the Qi Root.

…

Seeing Qin Lun enter the treant’s body, Edeline found a wooden stake nearby and sat down to wait. Although the treant was asleep, he could sense the foreign body in his body and naturally release a certain amount of hallucinogenic gas.

Different apostles had different physiques, and the time it took for the psychedelic gas to work was different. Adding on the apostle’s imaginary self-test, she estimated that Qin Lun would not come out until some time later.

As she waited in boredom, Edelyn changed her relaxed expression and a trace of sorrow appeared on her delicate eyebrows. She was worried about her father, Malfoy.

The elves Malfoy and Edeline belonged to were called the Moonlight Elves. They were one of the five great branches of the Great Elves. Unlike humans, the elves didn’t pay much attention to seniority because of their lifespan and appearance.

As long as they weren’t related by blood, it wouldn’t be a surprise for a granny-level female elf to combine with a male elf who had been young for over a hundred years. Of course, the bloodline between father and daughter was still very strong. Moreover, the trouble that Malfoy encountered this time belonged to the Moonlight Clan.

Chi! Just as the elven beauty was thinking about what was on her mind, a commotion came from ahead. After entering the treant’s body for about twenty minutes, Qin Lun squeezed out his Qi Root again.

“Have you finished your test?” Adrienne asked in surprise.

Normally, the apostle’s first test of himself would be very detailed, and sometimes it would take a few hours. Only the apostles who had already taken control of the body of Laws and only needed to make some adjustments would be able to complete the test in a short amount of time.

“Yes, it’s done!” Qin Lun forced a smile, his expression somewhat ugly, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Adrienne looked at Qin Lun strangely. It was very safe to use hallucinogenic gas for testing. Although the test itself was an illusion, as long as the apostles were mentally healthy, they would not see what they should not have seen.

Of course, the elven beauty didn’t know that Qin Lun was in the category of abnormal mentality. Although he had completed the purpose of testing his physical attributes in this test, he was almost unable to escape from the illusion.

In the fantasy test, Qin Lun perfectly fed the results of the Law Body test back to the death list. Although the basic data of explosive power, agility, physique, and perception were all uniformly identified as 10 points, they had already been linked to the specific test data.

Judging from these data, Qin Lun’s current physical fitness was roughly 1.5-1.6 times that of normal human men. Of course, data on death lists fluctuate slightly as hormones and emotions change in the body.

Perhaps the physical fitness of a normal human male was 1.5-1.6 times that of a normal human. It did not look very high, but the actual effect was extremely terrifying.

For example, a normal human man’s 100-meter race would take about 11-13 seconds, with an average of 12 seconds. If this speed was 1.5-1.6 times faster, then Kieran’s 100-meter speed would have clearly surpassed Bolt’s.

Normal men could jump up to 50 centimeters on the spot, and could jump up to 80 centimeters with a little training. If it was 1.5 times, it would have caught up with the bouncing of the famous spring players in the NBA.

In terms of combat strength, 1.5 times the strength and strength of his muscles, multiplied by 1.5 times the speed of his neural reaction, Qin Lun’s fist strength was comparable to that of a heavyweight professional boxer.

Running faster than Bolt, jumping higher than Kobe, punching as hard as a professional puncher. Even if he hadn’t broken away from the human category, he was still an all-round super athlete. This was the conclusion Qin Lun had drawn after the test.

“Let’s go when we’re done. Let’s go to bed early at night. Tomorrow, the Moonlight Forest will open the starry sky gate and leave the Red Gobi!” Edeline put away her curious expression and said indifferently.

“Aren’t you going back?” Qin Lun took a few steps and saw Edeline standing there motionless, so he turned around and asked.

“Anyway, I’ve already come out. I want to be quiet here!” Edeline looked at the sparkling moonlight lake in the distance and said in a somewhat lonely tone.

“Haha, you seem to have some troublesome things! If you don’t mind, you can talk to me. Perhaps I can give you some ideas.” Qin Lun chuckled as he turned around and sat beside the elven beauty. “In addition, I happen to have some questions that I would like to ask you about!”

“Then you can ask first, Sir Qin Lun. Serving the apostles is my duty!” Adrienne took off her hair clip, swung her soft short hair, and leaned lazily against the tree stump.

“Adrienne, I would like to ask if there are any special settlements or cities in the Broken Star System that are all gathered by the apostles?” Qin Lun asked indifferently.

‘”This” Edeline was shocked. She didn’t expect Qin Lun to ask such a question. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “How did you come up with this question? Aren’t you satisfied with the Moonlight Forest?”

‘”No, I’m very satisfied with the moonlight environment. However, there are too few official apostles here. The experience of this mission taught me that apart from training my viability, I also need to strengthen my communication with other official apostles. Otherwise, sooner or later, I will fail due to lack of information.” Qin Lun said frankly.

“I didn’t expect you to realize this problem so quickly. It seems like Malfoy’s attachment to you is reasonable. Many apostles only pay attention to this problem after undergoing several missions in another world.” Adrienne sighed softly. He explained hesitantly.

“Moonlight Forest has never thought of concealing this from the apostles. Normally, Moonlight Forest will tell you after you have completed three foreign missions. There is indeed a special gathering place for the apostles in the Broken Universe, but it is not appropriate for low-level apostles to go to such a place too early. Instead, you will receive more comprehensive basic training in the Forest of Moonlight. ”

Qin Lun blinked his eyes and didn’t take Edeline’s words seriously. He understood why the Moonlight Forest would temporarily conceal this information and allow the apostles to undergo three foreign missions first. The first few experiences of the apostles were life-and-death trials for them.

The apostles’ spirits and bodies would be greatly tested in the missions of other worlds. After returning to the shattered starry sky, an environment like Moonshine Forest and Moonshine Town could greatly relax the apostles’ bodies and minds.

In another way, this also increased the apostles’ recognition of the Moonlight Forest and the Fairy race. With the help of the Moonlight Forest, it was easy for the elves to sign equal employment contracts with the apostles. Even if the apostles left the Moonlight Forest, the elves would be able to summon the apostles’ help in the event of war.

As for the reason why the mission was set at three, it was because most of the surviving apostles had become official apostles. According to the experience and process of ordinary apostles, after becoming official apostles, they had basically mastered the basic martial skills and knowledge of survival taught by the Forest of Moonlight.

The Moonlight Forest’s help to them was almost negligible.

At that time, these official apostles urgently needed to exchange experiences with other mature apostles and trade some of their spare equipment to maximize their strength.

At the same time, as the difficulty of the mission increased, they needed to know more about the official apostles and prepare to form an apostle team with others.

“There is a special type of floating city in the shattered starry sky. This kind of floating city is open to the entire plane, but there are very few of them. There are special starry sky gates for teleportation.” Looking at Qin Lun’s focused expression, Edeline frowned, but had no choice but to continue, “Actually, the Moonlight Fairy Clan’s troubles this time are related to one of these cities!”

“Oh?” Qin Lun asked with interest, “I wonder if Miss Edeline can explain this city to me in detail. Thanks to the Moonlight Clan’s care for so long, if possible, I hope that she can help the nobles a little.”

Still helping? I’m afraid you’ve become an official apostle and can’t wait to leave the Moonlight Forest! Edeline pouted and cursed secretly, but her tone was still very respectful.

“I have never seen the apostle city with my own eyes. Rumors have it that there are no local residents in the shattered starry sky. All the facilities are dedicated to the apostles. There are arenas, auction houses, shops for all kinds of spiritual items, magic towers and martial arts halls that can impart high-level apostle skills, alchemy halls for forging unique equipment, and so on!”

Looking at Qin Lun whose eyes were slowly shining, Adrienne sighed in her heart. This apostle probably couldn’t hold on any longer. When Malfoy returned, he would definitely curse her to death.

“Miss Edeline, was this apostolic city created by the apostles?” Qin Lun pondered for a moment before asking seriously.

“No, the apostles can’t build such a floating city. Even the top apostle teams don’t have the time and energy to gather so many natural resources to build a floating city.” Edeline explained slowly.

In Edeline’s next introduction, Qin Lun learned that the Apostle City was also built by intelligent races from the shattered starry sky. However, it was not one race, but several intelligent races.

Floating metropolis is a unique product of the shattered starry sky itself because of the competition between intelligent races and the floating continent. The intelligent races wanted the help of the apostles, but they could not rely entirely on the apostles. That was why floating cities were born.

It could be said that although the floating city could provide services to the apostles, it was still essentially for the survival of the intelligent races. The apostolic city, on the other hand, was entirely based on serving the apostles.

No matter how perfect the floating cities of intelligent races were, they were still flawed. Moonlight Forest was able to teach preparatory apostles how to survive, and teach the elves martial skills and elven magic. However, there were many different worlds that the apostles had to go through, and there were bound to be some laws of the world that were completely different from what the elves taught them.

For example, if the apostles entered a high-tech world similar to a transformer, the martial skills and magic taught by the elves would become chicken ribs. There were only a bunch of combat skills that they could not use, so how could they carry out foreign missions?

Based on this understanding, certain groups of apostles in the pyramid ruling class began to join forces to demand a dedicated apostolic city from the many intelligent races they were familiar with.

Such apostolic cities had no indigenous inhabitants and were governed jointly by the intelligent races that built them. In this way, the apostle city would have not only the civilization of the good and orderly camp, but also the civilization of darkness. Not only do they have magical skills, they also have high-tech equipment.

It not only enriched the choice of equipment for the apostles, but also provided them with a city-level place to select teams and exchange experiences with each other.

Of course, the intelligent races that joined forces to build this apostolic metropolis also had tremendous benefits.

The first is that they can hire higher apostles more conveniently. Although apostles who do not have a sense of identity may skimp on tasks in the process of hiring, it is still a way to hire them.

Secondly, thousands of apostles at all levels in the apostolic cities generate massive amounts of consumption and transactions in the cities. Although the apostolic city only received a small commission, it was a huge sum of wealth. And the commission given by the apostles was not gold coins, but common currency among the apostles.

For example: broken crystals, exchange vouchers, and even soul power crystals, skill scrolls, equipment items, and other physical objects.

Although the apostles’ virtual currencies such as broken crystals and exchange scrolls could not be paid in real terms, they could still be paid in the form of credit, equipment offsets, mission hires, and so on.

Clearly, this was a fatal attraction for the intelligent race that governed the apostolic city!

Think about it, a blue-quality piece of equipment would make a high-grade elf like Malfoy Molia a family heirloom, and the spiritual equipment circulating in the apostle city would definitely not be limited to blue-quality equipment. There may also be purple equipment, dark gold equipment, and even legendary equipment …

The intelligent race that governed the apostle city would fight for the seat on the city council every year. Of course, the voters in the council elections were … the apostles!

To put it this way, putting the apostle city on Earth was definitely the best city on the planet to serve. This was no longer a matter of rice bowls, it was a matter of the survival of the race.

“The trouble the Moonlit Fairies have encountered this time is the general election in the apostle city!” Edeline said bluntly, “Even if you become an official apostle now, with your current level, you probably won’t be able to help!”

‘”Haha, then Malfoy should have teleported to the apostle city! The apostle’s rank can only represent combat strength. Since it’s a parliamentary election, at least we won’t fight to the death on the surface. Whether we can help or not will depend on the time!” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully.

“Right, I have some ingredients here. I wonder if you can find someone to help me make a recovery medicine!” As he spoke, Qin Lun took out the Moonlight Grass, Golden Silkworm Dust, and other items from his storage space and handed them to Edeline.
