Chapter 356: Chapter 213 The third component, Death Competitive Mission triggered! (Two in One, 2/5)_2
As long as you appear on the same large map, you will begin to second-guess each other. A holder cannot judge whether another holder tends to rob or protect. A holder cannot judge whether another holder thinks they themselves tend to rob or protect. A holder cannot judge whether another holder will attack them. This chain of suspicions will inevitably lead to a fight to the death between the parties involved.
However, at least as the one who triggered this task, Chen Mo currently had a bit more information than others: no one currently possessed more than three divine artifact components. Otherwise, someone else would have triggered this task first. Based on this, he held a certain advantage, at least in terms of the number of divine artifact components.
After triggering the task, Chen Mo planned to check the current large map immediately after exiting the instance.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: After Level 20, you can no longer enjoy experience point discounts in the Realm Breakthrough Assessment. However, if you complete the assessment with a perfect score, you will receive a number of eternal gold coins equal to the challenge level of this Realm Breakthrough Assessment. You have earned 25 eternal gold coins!]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Because you completed this assessment with a perfect score, you have received an additional ’SSS-level Realm Breakthrough Assessment Clearing Scroll’!]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: This assessment is over. In 3 seconds, you will be teleported back to your original world!]
With a flash of light before him, Chen Mo had already returned to Earth.
The moment he emerged, he didn’t even have time to check The Heavenly Path’s Hint before immediately examining the current large map.
The current large map primarily covered the entire Solar System.
To his surprise, Chen Mo saw on the large map that there were indeed holders of divine artifact components within the Solar System.
Actually, he didn’t really want to engage in a fight to the death with the holders of divine artifact components on Earth. After all, killing one’s own people for treasure was not something that could be done with a clear conscience. If the other party were a bad person, Chen Mo would feel somewhat better about killing them. However, if the other party were an ordinary person, he wouldn’t be able to bring himself to attack so easily. After all, he had grown up in a harmonious society, and his upbringing was deeply rooted.
Chen Mo was then considering what kind of person the other party might be. He didn’t want to rob an ordinary person, but it was hard to say what the other person would do. Furthermore, he didn’t know the extent of the other person’s abilities, so now wasn’t the time for self-persuasion, but rather to observe the other person’s reaction.
If the opponent was anyone below the fifth-transition level, Chen Mo wouldn’t be concerned at all. Even if they were at the fifth-transition level, as long as their Divine Power wasn’t very high, Chen Mo wouldn’t be afraid. It wouldn’t be easy to kill him.
Seeing that the target on the map was extremely distant and unmoving, Chen Mo temporarily ignored him and began to examine the effects of the Balance Core he had just obtained.
[Balance Core • Mythical-grade]
[Passive effect]: When carried, your attributes cannot be reduced below 50% by any effect. (Also effective in the backpack)
[Active Effect]: When activated, halves the attributes of all enemy units within a radius of ’100 * Level’ meters for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds. (Can be activated from the backpack)
[Important Note]: This item is an important component of a divine artifact. Please keep it safe!
[Item Introduction]: A treasure rumored to have been created by a powerful being. It was originally intended as the core component for a divine artifact but was lost to the mortal realm during the upheavals of the Great Path. If you find it, please store it carefully, as it might one day help you find that divine artifact and regain awe-inspiring divine power!
As expected of a component of a divine artifact, its effects were still simply yet overwhelmingly powerful. Attributes that others had worked tirelessly to gain could be effortlessly halved, and over a large area too. Although it only lasted for 5 seconds, it was already extremely potent. Moreover, the cooldown wasn’t long, only 30 seconds. It could still be used frequently.
After checking his Harvest, Chen Mo immediately looked at The Heavenly Path’s Hint that had just popped up.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Your Level has increased! Current Level: 26!]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Your Level has increased! Current Level: 27!]
...
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Your Level has increased! Current Level: 30!]
[Experience Points]: 2,279,438 / 1,796,200
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Your Level has reached 30, hitting the bottleneck of the sixth tier. You can choose to take the Realm Breakthrough Assessment!]
My experience points are stuck again. The SSS-level Realm Breakthrough Assessment requires nearly 18,000,000 experience points. Looks like I need to find another red-named individual.
Just as Chen Mo was looking at The Heavenly Path’s Hint, the sound of the great path followed closely.
"Congratulations to the Solar System’s first professional to perfectly complete the Level 25 SSS-level Realm Breakthrough Assessment.
For this, a special reward will be issued to all professionals in the Solar System: All native Solar System professionals, from now on, if they do not wish to undertake the Realm Breakthrough Assessment at Level 25, may directly skip it without needing to break through on their own!"
"Congratulations to the Solar System’s first professional to perfectly complete the Level 25 SSS-level Realm Breakthrough Assessment. A special additional SSS-level reward will be granted to this professional!"
When the hint ended, Chen Mo had obtained his third SSS-level Gift Pack.
However, whether this would synthesize into a specified type of SSS-level Gift Pack or an Above SSS-level Gift Pack was unknown, as the odds were fifty-fifty. For Chen Mo, using such a precious reward for synthesis was always an extremely heart-pounding affair.
As the sound of the great path rang out once more, the three Alliance Hierarchs couldn’t help but smile.
"This kid is really efficient! I just suspected he wasn’t in the safe zone anymore and had probably gone into the wilderness. Turns out, it’s true."
"He reached Level 25 so quickly and even completed the SSS-level Realm Breakthrough Assessment, which requires ten times the experience points. He must have killed a high-level red-named individual."
"With his previous ability to kill top experts two tiers above him, any second-transition professional wouldn’t be his match. He can easily take such advantages."
"It’s a pity he can only do it once every seven days."
The experience point reward for killing red-named individuals had a one-week cooldown. It could only be absorbed once every seven days. This was why no one had ever heard of a powerful individual experiencing an explosive level increase in a single day.
At this point, it seemed Chen Mo was still unaware of this rule, just as many people hadn’t been very familiar with red-named individuals when Chen Mo had first participated in killing one. This was mainly because, before university, schools generally focused on educating students about the dangers posed by red-named individuals. The goal was to teach students to stay away from red-named individuals if they encountered them. If they had initially explained the benefits of killing red-named individuals, many students might have recklessly tried their luck and ended up in trouble. Once the concept of danger was ingrained, even if some minor benefits were mentioned later, everyone would still retain that primary sense of caution. Therefore, it was only during the novice assessment after graduation that teachers dared to explain this matter in detail. Although related knowledge could be self-taught, many students still had only a vague understanding of the various benefits associated with red-named individuals. The majority of young people rarely harbored thoughts of killing others and using their lives as stepping stones for their own advancement. Such individuals were relatively few in any normal group. So it was normal that most people were unaware. Especially someone like Chen Mo.
At this time, he was unaware of this rule, so he was still preparing to continue searching for a red-named individual to absorb experience points from.
However, before continuing his search for red-named individuals, he wanted to synthesize the three SSS-level Gift Packs first.
At the same time, he never forgot to keep an eye on the movements of the person on the large map who possessed a divine artifact component.
This person was currently in a safe zone, while he himself was in a dangerous area. If that person was so inclined, they could certainly take the initiative to attack. But for Chen Mo to charge into a safe zone to kill someone was, of course, impossible. After all, killing was expressly forbidden in safe zones. No matter how talented one was, at least in public, the Academy Alliance would have to dispatch personnel to apprehend them. Whether they would be released afterward was a separate matter. Based on this, Chen Mo would never take such an action. So, he was mainly observing the other party’s reaction.
Just as Chen Mo was observing the reaction of this other person on the large map who possessed a divine artifact component, this other individual with a divine artifact component was also agonizing over this very matter.
