Chapter 44 Hidden Mission, Title [The Slaughterer]

44 Hidden Mission, Title [The Slaughterer]

William felt Sterl posed no threat.

Other players came forward with congratulations: "A Brilliant Star-level talent? Sterl, your future is boundless!"

"Congratulations!"

...

They also took the opportunity to give Sterl a rundown.

In the Spark Program, the potential of the selected talents is divided into 5 tiers.

The 5th tier is the lowest, the 1st tier the highest, with the tiers named from bottom to top as [Stellar Glow], [Satellite], [Brilliant Star], [Planet], and [Constellation].

As a Brilliant Star, the third-tier talent, there are only about five thousand such individuals among Earth's nearly ten billion population, making them extremely rare!

William then began to outline the privileges of being a Brilliant Star level: "I see you've already completed your class change. So the first reward, a trigger scheme for a D-class or higher job change mission, won't apply to you."

"However, it can be converted into a compensation of 5 million credit points."

"Your rewards for joining the Spark Program include three items: fifty silver coins or fifty million credit points."

"A level 20 piece of equipment."

"A white-quality skill book."

"Additionally, as a Brilliant Star talent, you can purchase ten stamina and energy recovery potions each month at cost price from any mid-level base."

"And if you want to join a mid-level or high-level base, you can directly participate in the assessment without waiting for eligibility review. After passing the selection, you can bring up to three family members to join the new base with you."

After listing these details, William returned to a cold demeanor, unwilling to engage further with Sterl.

Teresa's expression changed, ready to burst out, but then she caught a signal from Sterl in the corner of her eye and obediently stayed put.

"Thank you, sir. I'll take the fifty silver coins." Sterl said offhandedly. He felt the rewards for joining the Spark Program were rather meager.

He had just defeated a boss and earned ten gold coins.

Although theoretically, that required the cooperation of over a dozen level 20 players to challenge and then divide the loot.

But now, fifty silver coins?

Sterl was unimpressed, and the level 20 equipment and white-quality skill book were even less significant to him.

The equipment was unlikely to be anything special, probably just iron-grade.

Incidentally, the gear like the Shadow Curved Blade that Sterl had acquired before could evolve with added points. But considering how quickly equipment was replaced, he had prioritized other enhancements.

After all, Sterl's daily evolution point was far from enough, leaving little room for low-level equipment to enjoy.

As for the white-quality skill, Sterl couldn't be bothered to learn it. Even if he could enhance it with evolution points, it was inherently insufficient and not worth his time. After all, to truly unleash the power of a skill, one had to use it repeatedly to increase proficiency.

William nodded, "These items will be delivered to your base within ten days."

Such a bootlicker...

Sterl couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief.

...

Subsequently, although Teresa was very eager to personally take Sterl back to the base, she knew she couldn't expose their relationship. So she used social niceties to refuse others and left alone.

Sterl, on the other hand, used a teleportation circle to return to the low-level base number 71392. Upon arrival, he immediately received a private message from Teresa.

Teresa had initially offered it as a bargaining chip merely for survival. Now she meekly suggested that Sterl need not waste his time pursuing such a title.

22:22

"I'm sorry! Master! I could only stand by and watch."

"I was wrong! Please, punish me."

Reading the message, Sterl could almost picture Teresa's anxious expression.

"We'll settle this the next time we meet. I'll make sure you're properly disciplined." he replied nonchalantly before moving on to more serious matters.

Teresa answered his questions about the hidden quest and the title.

She had accumulated some contribution points in the sequence base, enough to exchange for an item that would trigger a hidden quest. But it is highly likely that this hidden task is not an exclusive task

Teresa would have to complete it alongside other players emerging from the sequence bases. She planned to pretend to invite Sterl to participate as a way of repaying him for his "kindness."

Since they had to wait for other players, the hidden quest wouldn't start immediately.

As for the title, Teresa was somewhat embarrassed. She presented a title that her ancestors had previously achieved

The title she mentioned was [Slayer]. The requirement for the title was to continuously kill enemies for 24 hours without a break (with a maximum interval of 5 seconds between kills).

This meant that to earn the title, a player would have to forsake all rest, find a spot with constant monster spawns, and kill for a full 24 hours.

It was no easy feat.

And the title's benefit was to ignore 5% of an opponent's defense during attacks.

Teresa had initially offered it as a bargaining chip merely for survival. Now she meekly suggested that Sterl need not waste his time pursuing such a title.

Teresa promised to quickly accumulate more contribution points in the sequence base to exchange for more practical title acquisition plans...
