Chapter 632 -422 Spirit World Turbulence
“This is a Sub Occupation similar to a ‘Recorder’, but it’s higher-level…”
Chen Lun looked at the list, feeling a surge of joy within his heart.
“I must obtain this book. Once I have this new Sub Occupation, I’ll be able to turn those Mid Sequence Supernatural Knowledge in my mind into physical objects and hand them over to others. It will be quite convenient whether I sell them to players or give them to team members to use… However, I need enough Merit Points for that.”
He also noticed that at the very top of the list, there was a note indicating that members of the Judiciary could exchange not only Mysterious Objects or idle Transcendent items for Merit Points but also earn them by completing tasks and performing meritorious services.
Chen Lun’s eyes lit up at the thought.
He frequently “dropped” Transcendent materials while “hunting monsters” in the Immortal Realm and had also purchased a large batch of materials from the Silver Dragon Trade Association for Floey to forge Mysterious Objects… It seemed that, aside from selling those less desirable Mysterious Objects to players as “blind boxes”, now he had another “sales channel.”
But he soon frowned slightly.
The purchase prices of the Imperial Judiciary were not high; the least valuable D-level Mysterious Object could not even be exchanged for a single D-level Merit Point, and at least three were required for an exchange of equivalent level Merit Points.
That is, to exchange for the knowledge of the Sub Occupation of an ‘Inscriber’, three B-level Mysterious Objects would be needed, which was somewhat expensive and even considerably uneconomical for Chen Lun.
Moreover, different levels of Merit Points cannot be combined from low to high, only from high to low—for example, one B-level Merit Point can be exchanged for three C-level Merit Points but not vice versa.
So Chen Lun abandoned the idea of farming Merit Points.
“And D-level Merit Points won’t get me anything good. This approach is unworkable… It looks like I have to do tasks the honest way.”
Chen Lun felt a pang of disappointment.
Following that, he flipped the list to the last page labeled “Supernatural Knowledge Area.”
It contained the Supernatural Knowledge of all ten factions, including three hidden paths, which also showed how deep the official foundations were.
Chen Lun found the Destiny Faction but only saw Supernatural Knowledge from Sequence Nine to Sequence Five. Not only that, but the other nine paths were the same, with a complete range of Mid and Low Sequence knowledge but a distinct absence of High Sequence Mythological Knowledge.
“Mr. Jack Spett, what do you need? I can help you find it.”
The quartermaster was an old man with white hair, dressed in uniform and a short-brimmed Beret Cap, looking energetic. The man sat inside a window with an iron railing, a nearly half-smoked cigarette dangling from his lips, and chuckled as he spoke.
“Why isn’t there any High Sequence Mythological Knowledge on the list?”
Chen Lun glanced at the old man and asked.
“Oh, High Sequence Knowledge…”
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
The quartermaster raised his eyebrows and chuckled twice. He then removed the cigarette from his mouth, leaned in, and whispered:
“That’s a necessary step to ascend to Holy Rank; how could the Empire easily let it out… Everything on the list put together probably isn’t worth as much as that kind of knowledge.”
“So you mean to say that the Judiciary doesn’t have it, or you’re not allowed to Exchange it?”
Chen Lun asked with a frown.
“Of course not, Mr. It’s just that the pathway to exchange is quite special, that’s all.”
The quartermaster shrugged.
“What kind of special pathway?”
“It’s simple; the Royal Family has the final say.”
The old man looked at Chen Lun, took the last puff of his cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
“There have been precedents in the past… When Judgment Chief Pramon was still an ordinary member of the Judiciary, he had made significant achievements. The Sun King personally bestowed upon him High Sequence knowledge, and it was only then that he could ascend to a Saint, becoming one of the Nine Great Judges.”
Chen Lun understood what the other party was saying.
To obtain high-ranking knowledge within the Imperial Judiciary, to break through the Transcendent limits and ascend to Holy Rank and become a person of high position, one must make outstanding contributions to the Empire and gain favor with the Royal Family.
Ordinary channels simply wouldn’t make it possible.
‘That doesn’t seem easy…’ Chen Lun sighed inwardly.
Great achievements worthy of Royal favor are not easily made, and even with sufficient abilities, the opportunity must present itself.
‘It won’t be long before I can fill up the ‘Aerial Acrobat’ Level, but to advance to Destiny Sequence Four, I must possess the corresponding Mythological Knowledge… Although this mission to investigate the Spirit World is important, the reward of A-level Merit Points obviously isn’t enough to get that knowledge.’
Chen Lun was in a bad mood.
And another thought occurred to him: Sun King Andre did not favor the Transcendents of Nature, Magic, and Destiny paths. Even if he made a significant achievement, he might still find it difficult to achieve his wish.
‘Just have to play it by ear… For now, I’ll work within the Imperial Judiciary and then try to contact Philip, the high-positioned being of Destiny. He must have the relevant knowledge!’
Chen Lun let out a sigh.
He thanked the quartermaster and stood up to leave the place.
Afterward, Chen Lun gathered the members of the “Investigation Team One” in the third-floor lounge area and held a brief meeting with them.
After giving them some precautions, Chen Lun distributed the supplies he had received.
“Each of you gets three vials of ‘True Sight Potion’; if that’s not enough, ask me for more. As for the ‘Spirit World Anchor,’ Lane will carry one as a precaution, and I will keep and use the rest.”
The team members took their potions and nodded in agreement.
Among them, Lane, Welles, Xibei, and Federica worked well together, while the trio led by Madison seemed somewhat perfunctory. Chen Lun, however, didn’t pay much attention to their attitude and went on to speak lightly:
