Chapter 357: Chapter 214: Can’t Find the Target! (Three in One, 5/5)_1
At this moment, in the Earth Combat Department Command Center, Rangu, the chief commander, stared at The Heavenly Path’s Hint with a throbbing headache, his mind a whirl of conflict.
He had just suddenly received a hint about an Above SSS-level Death Competitive Mission. That was the Divine Power Mission Chen Mo had triggered.
As ill luck would have it, he had also discovered that there was indeed another individual on Earth who possessed a divine artifact component, just like him.
This was a matter of extreme importance.
As long as the other party remained alive, Rangu was effectively exposed to the people of Earth at all times. His current location was none other than the Earth Combat Department Command Center—the most critical area of the entire Earth Combat Department. If this location were exposed, the consequences would be unthinkable.
If they managed to trace him back, the clues leading to numerous intelligence agents would be completely exposed. Even changing the command center now might be too late.
The reason Rangu felt so conflicted at this time was similar to Chen Mo’s predicament: neither party knew the other’s strength; they only knew each other’s location as if out of thin air.
All these unknowns meant neither party dared to approach the other rashly. After all, once this mission was issued, any move towards the other party could be interpreted as an intention to attack them—a dangerous signal.
If the other party was a master stronger than you, they might initially hesitate to act, not knowing your full capabilities. However, if you suddenly approached them, it would send a dangerous signal, forcing them to attack. Wouldn’t that be digging your own grave?
Thus, both Chen Mo and Rangu were in a dilemma. Neither wanted to approach the other recklessly, primarily fearing the other might be a powerful fifth-transitioner.
Rangu rubbed his temples, his head throbbing. Right now, he still doesn’t know if I’m from Earth or the Yongming Star System. That’s probably why he hasn’t come directly for me, seeing as I’m in the safe zone. But if I keep hiding here, he’ll likely track me down sooner or later. I have no idea what his true strength is. If he’s a fifth-transitioner, we’ll be completely wiped out! How can there be such a damned, bizarre mission!
Pondering this possibility, Rangu decided to send someone to test the waters.
Poor Rangu. With only one divine artifact component, he couldn’t have known in advance that this mission might suddenly appear. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought the item with him at all. Now it was completely bound, and he couldn’t unbind it.
However, the current situation wasn’t entirely dire. The first priority was to ascertain the other party’s strength. As long as they weren’t a fifth-transitioner, everything was negotiable; he could directly send people to eliminate them.
Regardless of the cost, the other party had to die. If his own location was exposed, it would deal a massive blow to the Yongming Star System’s entire operation on Earth. This crisis had to be resolved at all costs!
"Send an order for the person nearest to coordinate point [127394, 577834] to investigate a target individual and determine his actual strength," Rangu said, turning to an assistant.
"Yes!" was the reply.
...
Meanwhile, Chen Mo was synthesizing an SSS-level Gift Pack. Within this official month, he still had one chance to purchase a Divine Fusion Agent for 10 Gold Coins.
After buying the Divine Fusion Agent, he immediately began the fusion. As the fusion interface appeared, Chen Mo eagerly awaited the outcome.
Soon, a familiar item appeared before him. His eyes lit up. It appeared again!?
He clicked open The Heavenly Path’s Hint. Sure enough, he had gotten lucky again and received another Above SSS-level Gift Pack.
[Congratulations, your synthesis was successful!]
[Please take out your synthesized item "Above SSS-level Gift Pack"!]
Looking at the joyful hint, Chen Mo immediately took out the Above SSS-level Gift Pack and opened it in its bound state.
I wonder what I’ll get this time, he thought.
Although any Above SSS-level item was bound to be good, it would be best if it suited his needs. Chen Mo still hoped to acquire more abilities to cover his weaknesses and shortcomings.
However, things didn’t always go as one wished. It all came down to luck.
Soon, Chen Mo received his reward.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have successfully opened the Above SSS-level Gift Pack. Congratulations on obtaining the bound Skill Book ’Undying Body•Dazzling Grade’!]
[’Undying Body•Dazzling Grade’ Skill Book]: You will not be unable to resurrect for any reason. When killed, you will immediately clear all abnormal statuses and skill cooldowns, and resurrect at full health and energy. This effect can be stored up to 10 times, with one charge stored per hour. Current charges (10/10).
Undying Body? What an incredibly powerful ability! It ignores any condition that would prevent resurrection, and allows resurrection ten times at full status after being killed, clearing all abnormal statuses and skill cooldowns? With this, would I even need to fear death anymore?
Seeing this effect, even Chen Mo, with his already impressive array of survival skills, chose to learn it immediately. Truthfully, none of his existing abilities could guarantee he wouldn’t be prevented from resurrecting for some specific reason.
This Dazzling Grade skill, however, perfectly filled that gap!
With this, Chen Mo’s confidence surged.
Now, he wasn’t too worried about whoever the other person possessing a divine artifact component might be. However, he still had no interest in going to the safe zone to find them.
After all, if the other person was some powerhouse who hadn’t initially intended to act, his own appearance might provoke them, creating unnecessary trouble for himself.
