Chapter 36: Yaze World, Take the Initiative to Die

Lin Kong returned to the residential area at dusk. He planned to head to Yazer World the next day. After dinner, Lin Kong spent some time searching the Internet for information on advanced archer careers.

S-Rank Advanced Occupations:

Champion ArcherBeastmaster Hunter

SS-Rank Advanced Occupations:

Shadow HunterMechanical Pioneer

Advanced occupations are varied, involving major factions such as technology flow, magic flow, and martial arts school. This provides a lot of room for upward development. The hidden main line occupation in Yazer World is called "Natural Shooter," which is an A-rank professional template. Additionally, the Deep Blue Star can attain the highest SSS rank occupations. Though the secret realm above the SSS level hasn't been revealed, it might be that the Deep Blue Alliance has concealed the news of the higher secret realms.

One thing worth confirming is that there is indeed a secret realm above the SSS level in the Yinzhou Star Alliance.

While browsing the posts, Lin Kong noticed a news post:

[The Black Moon Sect attacked Xiyang City on the night of the 15th, killing 102 people...]

"It's these disgusting guys again," Lin Kong muttered, disgust evident in his eyes.

As mentioned before, there are various official and unofficial forces in Deep Blue Star. The Black Moon Sect is an organization that spans the galaxy and is essentially the Church of the Heretic God, which believes in the so-called God of the Black Moon. Cultists sell their souls in exchange for great power. Officials often send hunting teams to surround and suppress the Black Moon Cult strongholds. Unfortunately, they are too tenacious to be eradicated.

There are other large unofficial forces like the Alien Demon, Star Council, and Hunter organizations that are very low-key. Except for their organizational introductions, there is no additional information available online.

"I hope you don't encounter this group of troublemakers in the game," Lin Kong prayed, knowing that Black Moon Cult professionals often hunt humans in the dungeon world as sacrifices, killing indiscriminately.

Shaking his head, Lin Kong went straight to rest to prepare for tomorrow.

The Next Day

"Time to go," Lin Kong said, ready for everything. He took out the teleportation roll.

[Azer World Teleportation Scroll]

Type: Difficult · Planar WarfareQuality: CLevel: 10~20Activity area: Azer WorldMode: Solo/Team/Random Match (20 people)

"Single player mode," Lin Kong chose.

[Hint: Since it is a plane battle world, your camp has been determined as: Elf Kingdom.]

[Ding! Please select the initial city you want to descend to.]

A map of Azer's world appeared. The Elf Kingdom occupies 85% of the continent's land area.

"Sacred City," Lin Kong selected, as there is a hidden quest at this location related to a permanent luck value reward. In the world of "Zhutian," luck is the most precious attribute. An item increasing the luck value, even temporarily, would cause fierce competition.

The next moment, Lin Kong found himself in a bustling square under the noon sun. In front of him was a massive tree, at least 300 meters tall, emanating a majestic aura— the Tree of Life, the birthplace of elves. Around him, lights flickered, and many professionals appeared.

[Reminder: You have entered the world of Yaze, ID: Y001250]

[Current Location: Elf Kingdom - Saint Ke City]

[Ding! Main quest has been opened]

[Main quest 1: Lord status. Requirements: Complete the requirements of the elf priest and awaken the status of the natural lord. Time limit: 3 days.]

[Special mode: If you kill lifeforms in this world, you will have a chance to drop "Life Crystals."]

An elf priest emerged from the temple and addressed the professionals.

"Chosen ones, welcome to the city of St. Ke. The Elf Kingdom is under attack from the dark world, and the power of elves is insufficient to deal with the enemy. I need your help. Collect 100 life crystals, and I will awaken the identity of the natural lord for you!" the elf priest announced clearly.

[Quest Tip: You get [Elf Priest Request].]

Lin Kong glanced at the priest and thought, "Tomorrow, I will be able to get the hidden quest from her." The elf priest was the owner of the hidden task, which needed to be triggered at a certain time slot the next day.

"Let's do the task first," Lin Kong decided, walking out of Sank. The hidden main line can only be triggered after completing the second stage main line. He hasn't finished mainline 1 yet.

[Current Location: Saint Ke City·Yongguang Forest]

Lin Kong arrived at the edge of the forest outside the city, where many professionals were killing monsters in teams. Solo players like him were rare.

A group of white wolves sprang from the woods.

[White Wolf · Normal]

Level: 12Rank: CHP: 13500Attack: 1000Skills: Bite, Punch

"Ow—" The white wolves ran towards Lin Kong. He stood still, intending to trigger a [Death Gift] income first.

-1213! -1213! -1213!

Lin Kong's health dropped rapidly, stunning the surrounding professionals.

"Hey! What kind of fairy operation is this?"

"He's really doing it! Makes me anxious."

"Brother, you're dying! Still not running?" someone yelled, trying to help.

But it was too late. Lin Kong's health quickly hit zero, and he turned into a corpse.

Professionals: "..."

They felt a string of ellipses appearing in their heads. Taking the initiative to die was unheard of.

"Push!" A group passing by saw Lin Kong's move, and one of them laughed out loud.

"How did this guy get promoted to C-rank professional?"

"His operation is too bad," they commented.

The leader glanced at the person who laughed and said, "Don't laugh at him, Tang Feng. His HP and defense are twice as high as your level 15 tank."

"What?" Tang Feng was dumbfounded. Recalling the scene, Lin Kong seemed to have resisted 12 attacks.

"This... this guy is holding a crossbow, shouldn't he be an archer?" Tang Feng's face turned red with embarrassment.

Others laughed, "This person's HP and defense are so high, he should have an SSS-level talent related to death."

"Xiao Tangtang, you are not ashamed! As an SS-level talent warrior, you can't compare to an archer. Hahaha..."

"Enough, let's be serious," the leader interrupted. "We still have to complete the task above, and speed up to our destination!"

"Yes, sir!" The team members closed their mouths and followed the captain into the forest. The IDs on these people's heads were very complicated, indicating they were neither guild members nor adventurers. The only commonality was everyone wearing a blue crystal ring.
