Chapter 1292: For the sake of promotion

The Prime Minister’s head was taken to be examined, then quickly confirmed a few minutes later.

“Congratulations, Fear Fiend king, you’ve been awarded 3 points” Qin smiled and replied.

“3 points is the maximum?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Qin answered: “For a Sealing Hitman, the highest level you can accept is a Class 3 job, and the maximum grading for a Class 3 job is 3 points”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Then, Class 1 would be 1 point?”

“Yes”

“What are points good for?”

Qin explained: “You can use your accumulated points to exchange for various skill books, equipment, or even money and information from the Guild. Other than that, if you are awarded 3 points in five consecutive jobs, you’ll be promoted to an Unsolvable Hitman”

Gu Qing Shan nodded to express his understanding.

—–originally, his stop at Void City was only meant to be for collecting information on the Wraith realm.

But now, he had found out that the Wraith realm was exceptionally isolationist, disallowing entry to almost everyone.

It was actually exceptionally tough to enter that world.

The wraiths had a lot of defensive Causality Laws set up, not to mention Immortal Crafts always at the ready to prevent outsiders from entering their world.

However, Gu Qing Shan had seen a job related to the Wraith realm, the contents of which required him to assassinate a Wraith General.

Only Unsolvable rank Hitmen or above were permitted to take on this job.

According to Qin, once the job had been confirmed the Hitman Guild would send the person right away to complete the job.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered a bit, quickly making his decision.

The Hitman Guild was an expert organization in covert operations, disguises, weaving plots, organized assassinations, they have a way to bypass the numerous defensive Causality Laws of the Wraith realm to send people in.

Then, I will have to quickly come up with a way to become an Unsolvable Hitman.

For the sake of promotion...

“Qin, please make the arrangements for me, I want to continue onto the next job”

Qin was a bit surprised, but still replied: “Very well, let me display today’s available job menu”

She waved her hand over the void of space, displaying a large number of bounties.

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze moved around, checking as he asked: “Why are all the jobs involving the 900 million World Layers either Class 1 or 2, not a single one is Class 3?”

Qin replied: “The 900 million World Layers are destitute, they themselves are weak, lacking in valuable items, they themselves also don’t have enough money to issue higher-ranking jobs”

Gu Qing Shan then asked: “What about the Bramble Bird Kingdom Empress, Laura?”

“She might be the only one capable of issuing high-ranking jobs, but she had been the target of an assassination already, so she really hates our Hitman Guild——– furthermore, she doesn’t really know about matters outside of the 900 million World Layers” Qin explained.

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent.

Qin was correct, Laura’s entire family died from being assassinated, so she hates such a thing to the bones.

And the 900 million World Layers as well as all of its living beings were created by the Divine race based on the Bygone Era humans...

That’s not exactly true.

I once saw an Old God in Triste’s collection world.

——that giant who granted me the release of my soul.

That was obviously not a Divinity.

Then, was he an Inner Plane Deity?

Gu Qing Shan shook his head, unable to come up with an answer.

However, it wasn’t time to be pondering on this in the first place.

Gu Qing Shan could only discard his wonders and kept the locations in mind, making sure that he wouldn’t accidentally return to the 900 million World Layers.

Although, from a navigational perspective, the 900 million World Layers is relatively close to the Eternal Abyss, while Void City is Northward of both of these locations, which is extremely far away.

But all three locations were nothing but a drop of water in the large ocean that is the void.

They all resided within the space vortex.

Furthermore, void monsters comparable to the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate also exists

In the great tomb of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, several powerful void monsters were trapped, still prolonging their last breaths.

Other than them, other void monsters mostly remain and live on their own at extremely distant locations within the void.

The void is boundless.

Countless species existed.

Only the Reality Gate was a constant coordinate. historical

The outside of it was rumored to be the outside of the space vortex.

There had been many who attempted to scout the world outside of the Gate, unfortunately, no one had ever returned.

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, then continued viewing the job menu.

Suddenly, he saw noticed a particularly interesting one:

[Head towards the Void Storm Caverns, assassinate the void monster: Brain Eater Demon Bug]

[This is the mutated form of the Mystic Caverns Demon Bug, its ability is Deprivation, extremely hard to deal with]

[Attention: Deprivation is a Mystic-type ability, capable of stripping an enemy of one form of combative skill. For example, a Spellcaster would no longer be able to use their staves to fight, a Knight would no longer be able to fight with their sword and shield]

Gu Qing Shan pointed at this bounty and asked: “Why is this being marked as Class 3+?”

Qin looked at what he was pointing at, then explained: “Because two Sealing Hitman had accepted this quest, but both of them were KIA, so the job difficulty had been adjusted to ‘3+’”

Gu Qing Shan asked with intrigue: “Then if I finish this job, how would the points be accounted for?”

“It will count as you having completed two jobs”

After answering, Qin appeared worried and whispered: “Don’t take this job, it’s too dangerous, I heard that its difficulty would be readjusted again very soon”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “It’s fine, while it still hasn’t been readjusted, I’ll take the opportunity and accept it”

Qin looked at him and asked: “Are you serious?”

“I sure am, arrange the transport, I actually have a way to counter this monster’s ability” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Very well, the Void Storm Caverns is quite a distance away, so follow me, we’ll prepare the 7th warp gate right away”

Qin then led him through several large-scaled secret rooms before reaching the 7th warp gate.

Qin brought a group of 7-8 staff members to check the energy stones around the gate, examine the teleportation runes, determine the coordinates as well as its corresponding information.

Compared to the previous warp gate, this one was larger, but also a bit run-down, several places around it were even covered in dried blood.

Noticing Gu Qing Shan’s gaze, Qin explained: “The monsters of the Void Storm Caverns all cannot be reasoned with, they’re a bunch of cruel mad dogs, not a single species had ever been willing to come into contact with them——- except to kill them”

“What do I have to pay attention to?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Qin replied: “Simply kill the Brain Eater Demon Bug and immediately return, do not draw the attention of other terrifying entities”

“Are there some especially powerful monsters?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Apparently recalling something, Qin’s expression suddenly became pale.

“You don’t need to know that much, because the Void Storm Caverns is a nest of insects, the only thing you need to do is kill that Brain Eater Demon Bug and leave immediately afterwards” Qin told him.

Gu Qing Shan digested these words, fully understanding their implications.

—-in other words, I don’t need to know what kind of terrifying entities are there because it’s useless for me to know, running into them would only ensure my death either way.

As expected of a Class ‘3+’ job.

A staff member reported: “According to our information, the Brain Eater Demon Bug would fall into a delirious state for the next three days of every month, frequently falling into slumber, which makes it suitable for assassinations”

“We’ve calculated the best position to transport to, currently preparing the corresponding warp formation”

“You will be transported to the edge of the Brain Eater Demon Bug’s range of activity, please make sure to conceal your presence”

He then handed the profile of the Void Storm Caverns to Gu Qing Shan.

Qin explained: “The medal can be used to communicate as well as transport you back here. But since your own teleportation technique seems to be more usable, I won’t say too much about it”

Gu Qing Shan looked over the Void Storm Caverns’ profile and nodded.

His expression turned a bit solemn.

“So it was such a place”

Gu Qing Shan muttered and quickly walked onto the 7th warp gate, standing firm, signaling the staff members that he was ready.

Qin raised her voice: “This year’s 693rd job, Class 3+, preparing to initiate”

“Ready!” the staff members replied.

“Very well. This job shall be taken on by the Hitman with the codename ‘Fear Fiend King’, preparing to warp”

“Ready”

“Three”

“Two”

“One”

“Initiate!”

A flash of white light erupted from the warp gate, enveloping Gu Qing Shan.

Instantly, he disappeared from everyone’s eyes.

...

The Boundless Void’s space vortex.

Stormwinds howled within the darkness, seemingly unending.

This place was filled with an intense tidal wave of magical energy.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared, landing in a dark area.

He flew for a few dozen minutes and finally reached the edge of the dark ground.

In front of him, a silent cave of darkness was situated.

Gu Qing Shan crouched down, lightly knocking on the black substance on the surface.

——no sound.

Gu Qing Shan then released his inner sight, discovering that this cave was almost the size of an entire city.

“So big...”

Gu Qing Shan paused for a bit, then quickly donned the Dragon River armor.

「 You seem to be very cautious? 」the Earth sword sent its voice.

Gu Qing Shan laughed: “That’s right, care to take a guess what kind of place this dark cave is?”

“What is it?” Luo Bing Li curiously asked through sending her voice.

“This cave right in front of us is actually an eye socket” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“”「 Eye socket? (oong?) 」”” his four swords exclaimed at the same time.

“That’s right. Countless years in the past, a gigantic monster of unknown background died in this region of the void, its body was already eaten away by the insects that inhabited its body, leaving only its uncorroded skull left”

“Currently, we’re going to enter the skull from its eye socket——– the inside of its eye socket is filled with dark storm wind, so it was named the Mystic Caverns, as well as the Void Storm Caverns” Gu Qing Shan explained.

Luo Bing Li couldn’t help but ask: “Then, the insect that you need to kill wouldn’t happen to be...”

“That’s right, it’s the second weakest type of insect among all the corpse insects” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“”「 Ah (oong)—– 」”” the four swords exclaimed a long sigh of admiration.
