Kean not only acquired a wealth of information regarding awakening from The Person in the Mirror, but he also received some additional hints.
Jeremy had some speculative information regarding the awakening instance and the specific procedures involved before he completed it. In contrast, Kean had no need to engage in speculation, as The Person in the Mirror would provide him with all the necessary precautions.
"Aside from the usual precautions, when selecting an awakening instance, you must choose one with a difficulty level exceeding 50. Because if you opt for an awakening instance with a difficulty below level 50, it is highly likely that you will be unable to refresh the awakening gemstone."
The Person in the Mirror's admonition left Kean feeling somewhat perplexed.
At that moment, Kean was gripping the purple key that The Person in the Mirror had given him.
The purple key in Kean's hand bore slight differences compared to the purple key that Jeremy had obtained from the class change goddess, Janna.
The purple key in Kean's possession emitted a faint yellow glow.
This was primarily because the awakening key in his hand was imbued with divine power acquired by The Person in the Mirror through the essence of the Sun.
"Isn't it true that the awakening key is sufficient to unlock the awakening instance?
If I were to select an instance with a difficulty rating above level 50, as you suggest, I would find it exceedingly difficult to complete it on my own. You all should consider providing assistance during my attempt to conquer the awakening instance."
In response to Kean's request, The Person in the Mirror unequivocally declined.
"That is not possible.
Any player in an apocalypse game can only rely on their own strength while navigating through the awakening instance. Furthermore, during the process, the equipment and weapons you possess will also be subject to certain restrictions.
Only exceptionally powerful players in the apocalypse game have the capacity to acquire awakening gemstones within the awakening instance."
The assertions made by The Person in the Mirror only served to increase Kean's frustration.
In Kean's perspective, Jeremy had already come into contact with the awakening gemstone, which implied that Jeremy's progress far surpassed his own.
"If you cannot offer me any assistance, how am I supposed to surpass Jeremy's progress? Just as you mentioned, Jeremy has already encountered the awakening gemstone.
He may very well have even acquired it by now!"
At that moment, Kean was feeling extremely disheartened.
He even believed that The Person in the Mirror had provided him with the information a bit too late.
"If you could have given me the relevant information earlier, I might have been able to catch up with Jeremy's progress. If he has already begun his awakening, is it still possible for me to take action now?"
In response to Kean's inquiry, The Person in the Mirror patiently provided an explanation.
"He has merely come into contact with the awakening gemstone. Coming into contact with the awakening gemstone does not equate to him obtaining it. No player in any apocalypse game can complete the awakening instance on their first attempt.
Therefore, all you need to do is to initiate the awakening instance immediately, and then enter the instance to familiarize yourself with the environment."
"Once you have acquired the pertinent information regarding the awakening instance, please share it with us. We will provide you with substantial support during the forthcoming actions."
After receiving The Person in the Mirror's assurance, Kean nodded in satisfaction.
"I find it entirely normal for such a situation to arise. Although my innate talent is quite high and I have received your assistance, others also possess their own advantages.
It is entirely plausible that there are individuals with formidable backgrounds whose leveling speed is comparable to mine, making it unsurprising that they could activate the awakening instance at this moment."
After hearing these words, the class change goddess Janna spoke with a touch of disappointment.
"Are you truly willing to forfeit this golden opportunity? I must inform you that the individual who has activated the awakening instance, aside from yourself, is named Kean."
Upon hearing the name Kean, Jeremy's expression underwent a dramatic transformation.
"What did you say?! The second individual to activate the awakening instance, aside from me, is actually Kean?!"
The class change goddess, Janna, nodded, feeling somewhat pleased with Jeremy's current reaction.
"Why didn't you inform me of such critical information sooner? I absolutely refuse to let Kean complete his awakening before I do!"
Having uttered these words, Jeremy promptly returned to the real world.
For Jeremy, the prospect of obtaining the rare talent associated with being the first to awaken was undoubtedly exhilarating.
However, if time proved insufficient and that rare talent were to be granted to someone else, he could reluctantly come to terms with it.
What he could not accept, under any circumstances, was the notion of that rare talent being awarded to Kean.
Jeremy raced back to the real world at the fastest speed possible, dialing Bonnie and Ritchie's numbers in rapid succession.
He hoped to formulate a plan for their second entry into the awakening instance by tonight.
Yet, he understood that relying solely on himself would make it quite difficult to devise a flawless strategy.
Therefore, he intended to summon both of the individuals he trusted to assist him.
After Jeremy departed, the class change goddess, Janna, muttered to herself.
"It seems that the resistance we are encountering in our plan this time is anything but ordinary. The minions of [Sun] have resorted to such despicable tactics."
"They actually utilized the divine power possessed by [Sun] to snatch a key to awakening from me. Are they not afraid that I might cause the person they have chosen to fail in their awakening process?"
At that moment, [World] emerged from the shadows.
"Since they dare to act in this manner, they undoubtedly possess a means to circuNovelFireent the influence you might exert during the awakening process. Although you are the class change goddess of the apocalypse game,
I hope you can comprehend that the authority you wield is not nearly as formidable as that held by other planners of the apocalypse game. If [Fool] truly intends to enter the apocalypse game directly, they will certainly be able to nullify all your powers."
Upon hearing [World]'s words, the expression on class change goddess Janna's face shifted to one of slight despondency.
"You are right, after all, I am merely a defeated individual trapped by them. However, there is one thing I do not understand: if [Fool] possesses such immense power, why have they not intervened yet?"
Upon hearing class change goddess Janna's statement, [World]'s expression grew more serious.
"I do not know, but I can assure you that [Fool] is undoubtedly devising a grander scheme! At the very least, it is far more ambitious and difficult to thwart than the plot I am about to confront."
