Chapter 15: Hidden Mission

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In exchange for 300 contribution points and the Trial Token, Jack returned with his pockets full.

300 contribution points. One contribution point could be exchanged for 100,000 Federation Currency.

It was equivalent to 1 Gold Coin or 100 Silver Coins in the Divine Realm.

Jack exchanged 200 Gold Coins / 20,000 Silver Coins.

He went straight to the armor dealer, Ridman.

He did not have much time left in the game today, so he had to make use of every second.

Jack needed a large number of weapons and armor to equip his Death Soldiers.

He got this sum of money at the right time.

He selected all kinds of Bronze class armors enough for 3,000 people from the armor dealer, Ridman.

Surprisingly, the shop did not have so many pieces of armor.

After giving 500 Silver Coins as a deposit, they agreed for Jack to come and get the equipment the next time he logged in. Jack went directly to the weapons merchant, Heiker.

Through their conversation, Heiker had 3,000 sets of Bronze Class weapons, but there was a problem.

After deducting the balance that he needed to pay the armor merchant, Ridman, tomorrow, he did not have enough Silver Coins!

Hence, Jack quickly exchanged 5,000 Silver Coins, bought the weapons, and equipped them first.

…

Looking at the stats of the Death Soldiers increasing, Jack suddenly felt that the Silver Coins he spent were worth it.

He looked forward to seeing how they would perform when they were fully equipped.

The only thing that made Jack feel regretful was that the skills and Class Advancement of the Death Soldiers could only be exchanged using points called the Death Soldiers Points in the Death Soldiers Shop.

This was what the System had told him when he was equipped with the Death Soldiers.

Death Soldiers Points?

Death Soldiers Shop?

Jack felt that he had to figure this out himself again. The System did not inform him about this.

He had a feeling that these Death Soldiers Points should be obtained in reality.

Speaking of the skills and equipment of his Death Soldiers, Jack could not help but think of his own equipment.

He was already Level 30!

His equipment could no longer satisfy his needs.

He needed rarer equipment that could increase his attributes.

“Seriously, I should go buy more rare and advanced equipment…”

He said it unintentionally, but the listener read his own meaning into it.

Heiker, the weapon merchant, slowly approached him.

“Do you want to obtain rarer equipment?”

Jack nodded. “Yes.”

Apart from the remaining Silver Coins, he still had 50 contribution points to use.

That was equivalent to 50 Gold Coins.

It was useless to keep all the money. He needed more rare equipment.

He felt somewhat helpless.

Heiker said with his eyes shining,

“I happen to have something on my side. You can obtain a set of rare equipment after you complete it. You can choose any equipment belonging to any occupation you want.”

“How is it? Do you want to try?”

“Triggered hidden mission [Weapon Merchant’s Wish]. Do you accept it?”

Jack perked up.

Hidden mission?

Was he that lucky? He had actually triggered a hidden mission!

Could it be triggered by the purchase of a large number of weapons?

Jack thought about it.

However, if he did not accept what the heavens gave him, he would be blamed.

“Accept!”

“Obtained a hidden mission [Weapon Merchant’s Wish]!”

Jack asked, “How can I fulfill your wish?”

No one had triggered this hidden mission for 60 years.

Jack was no ordinary lucky man.

Heiker said seriously.

“You have already fulfilled the prerequisites for the mission:

You have a mutated evolved occupation and bought 2,000 Bronze-class weapons.

Mission Details: Use your own exclusive skill to defeat a Level 45 special boss, Volt Cave Demon.

During this period of time, as long as you used other skills, equipment, potions, or items, you would be deemed to have failed the mission.

After the mission is completed, go to the camp of the Krawboire to look for their craftsmen to submit the mission.

As for the mission reward, you will know when the time comes…”

Heiker kept him in suspense.

He did not tell Jack directly what the mission reward was.

With Jack’s experience in reviewing information.

Most of the hidden missions in the Divine Realm had rich rewards.

This mission was not easy for ordinary players. They could only use their own exclusive skills.

Furthermore, they had to have a mutated exclusive occupation before they could set off!

According to rumors, the Volt Cave Demon hid in the depths of the bat cave outside the city.

He had to kill the boss Bat Demon in the bat cave before he would appear.

It was a Level 40-50 training ground.

Even without this mission, Jack planned to go there to level up.

“Understood. I’ll set off now.”

Jack first went to the teleportation stone in the city and spent 15 Bronze Coins to teleport outside the bat cave.

15 Bronze Coins was equivalent to 150 yuan.

It was enough for Jack to watch three movies or eat hotpot!

“Time is money.”

He could only play for six hours a day.

Jack spent five hours in the Earth Elemental Dungeon. He spent some time traveling.

Just as he appeared outside the bat cave, a few monsters blocked Jack.

Mutated Bat (Level 30)

Health: 15,000

Attack: 2000

Defense: 2000

Skills: Blood Thirst, Ultrasound

Blood Thirst: Attack has 40% leech effect!

Ultrasound: Ignore Medium and Low-Level Stealth. Ignore invisible units below Lv30.

“Shield Attack! Shield Attack! Shield Attack!”

He continuously used Shield Attack to attack the Mutated Bats that were still moving.

“You used Shield Attack to kill the Mutated Bat. You gained+400 EXP!”

“You used Shield Attack to kill the Mutated Bat. You gained+400 EXP!”

…

The experience Jack gained from killing monsters of the same level as him was average.

After taking care of the bats from the cave entrance, Jack headed inside.

The entire bat cave was a huge maze!

The structure was very strange and it was easy to walk into a dead end.

Furthermore, the terrain of the bat cave would change with time.

For Jack, killing Volt Cave Demon was not difficult.

The difficulty lay in finding the other party.

“It’s a pity that I don’t have the skill to seek the enemy.”

Jack reflected.

Next time, if he could, he would have to learn some skills like exploration, seeking enemies, and anti-stealth.

Jack repeatedly used Shield Attack. Wherever he went, not a single blade of grass survived.

Large batches of mutated bats were killed.

Currently, he had to kill Bat Demon first before he could lure Volt Cave Demon out.

There were two ways to find Bat Demon:

1. Find the other party’s hiding place.

2. Kill enough bats to make the angry Bat Demon approach him!

He would then kill the Bat Demon and wait for the Volt Cave Demon to appear.

For Jack, the latter was obviously more cost-effective.

All they had to do was continue killing in the bat cave.

No bat could withstand the damage of Shield Attack.

Half an hour later, Jack cleared the Bat Cave 1 / 10 area.

A notification popped up in front of him:

“Logged into the game for six hours, Logging out.”
