“The university scholar, contented by your sincere oath, begins to share his tale, as the carriage lightly jostles on the road…”

“The president of the Multivision Association sending his trusted university scholars to face the Abyss alone is no secret anymore. As a fellow university scholar, you too must have participated in this daunting expedition for demon shells, on behalf of the President.”

“But I bet you have no clue about the true purpose of the demon shell!”

“In fact, the President of the Multivision Association has already secretly defied the ‘Almighty True Knowledge’ in his quest to seek the ‘Bright Stars’. He planned to transplant the eyes of the star creatures onto the shell of the Abyss demon, in a misguided attempt to achieve godhood.”

“He was unaware that this path to godhood is nothing but a sham. His fool’s errand will never allow him to rise to godhood, not even to the level of a demigod.”

“It was merely by chance that I learned this secret from the President of the Direct View Association.”

“Finished with his story, ‘The Knowledge-seeking University Scholar from the Direct View Association’ looked at you with a smug anticipation for your shocked reaction…”

“That’s it?”

Lin Xun raised the side of his mouth, his face expressing a hint of ‘Are you teasing me?’.

“You shake your head in disappointment, pulling out the ‘Abyss Demon Completion Plan’ (data file) to signal that you already know about this.”

“The ‘Knowledge-seeking University Scholar from the Direct-view Association’ stared disbelievingly at the file in your hand, his lips moving silently, unable to muster any words.”

“You raise your hand, the two ‘Pre-stored Spell Rings’ on your fingers glowing faintly. The ‘Combat Angel — Valkyrie’ next to you readies her bow…”

“You threaten that the secret he provided is worthless and that killing him now would not violate the oath you just made.”

“If he can’t produce something of value in exchange for his life, he can’t blame you for being merciless!”

“The ‘Knowledge-seeking University Scholar from the Direct View Association’ begged for mercy, his face torn with indecision, finally stuttering out another secret after a long hesitation.”

“In truth, the president of the Direct View Association isn’t dead yet, but he is on death’s doorstep…”

“Just yesterday, the newly born ‘Mist Barrier Monster Overlord’ launched a sudden attack on the Direct View Association, ruthlessly destroying the protective light grating outside the Association Building.”

“The University Scholars and scholars of the Association poured out in droves to resist the ‘Mist Barrier Monster Overlord’s’ attack.”

“Having switched allegiance to the Direct View Association midway, I was not as obstinate as the others. I knew the terrifying power of the ‘Mist Barrier Monster Overlord’ and that the only way to survive was to escape.”

“Just as I was about to throw down my dignity and run for my life, I was forced by the President to confront the enemy.”

“The power of the ‘Mist Barrier Monster Overlord’ was truly horrifying, just as the rumors suggested!”

“University Scholars of the same rank and power as me were devoured like candy beans by the Monster. The formerly high and mighty president was no match for the monster, not even the Association Building could be spared from becoming a pile of rubble.”

“Both I and the president were buried under the debris, but fortunately, because I did not use all my power during the battle with the monster, I was in a slightly better state compared to the president, who was severely injured and immobilized.”

“Leveraging the ‘Knowledge Grating’, we both managed to take shelter under the debris for the night… until your arrival.”

“This got you thinking — if the President of the Direct View Association was trapped under the ruins with him, how did he alone manage to escape and board the carriage?”

“The ‘Knowledge-seeking University Scholar from the Direct View Association’ sensed your suspicion and explained sheepishly that the President had lost his mobility while he had grown too weak over the years. Had he tried to carry the President on his back during his escape, he would have ended up being gobbled up by the Monster.”

“The President is still stuck beneath the ruins, depending on his remaining strength to activate the Knowledge Grating. But his injuries are too severe, he won’t last long.”

“By my estimation, it would be a testament to his willpower if he could last until midnight tonight…”

“I can mark the President’s location on the map for you. If the ‘Mist Barrier Monster Overlord’ hasn’t returned to the Direct View Association to continue devouring the corpses, you might be able to retrieve the powerful equipment on the President.”

“Those trinkets are far more precious than my life.”

“The ‘Knowledge-seeking University Scholar from the Direct View Association’ regretfully disclosed to you that the President lay buried under the debris and that the Monster might not even discover him.”

“Originally, I intended to wait until it was safe before returning to the ruins of the Association to claim the President’s belongings. But now, for the sake of my life, I have to share this incredibly valuable secret with you.”

“Greed-driven Apostle, what’s your next move?”

“1. Have the ‘Knowledge-seeking University Scholar from the Direct View Association’ mark the location of the President, then kill the Scholar.”

“2. Have the ‘Knowledge-seeking University Scholar from the Direct View Association’ accompany you to the ‘ruins of the Direct View Association’.”

“[3. First return to the ‘Multivision Association’, then with Rona the Master Scholar and the Master Scholar in front of you, return to the ‘Direct View School Ruins’]

“[4. Wait until midnight. After the Direct View School’s president naturally dies, then consider returning to the ‘Direct View School Ruins’.]

Lin Xun was not afraid of death in the game. What he could not accept was dying in vain, without reaping any rewards.

If he could exchange a bit of soul strength for the body of the Direct View Association president…

He would choose to accept without hesitation.

The consideration at the moment was… whether to return to the ruins now, and kill the Direct View Association president to get his shell.

Regardless of the creature, its speed while hunting would definitely be much faster than its usual travel speed.

Perhaps the giant monster had not yet returned to the ‘Direct View School Ruins’.

As long as he immediately changed his destination, he might be able to outpace the giant monster’s return and complete his kill-and-loot operation.

As Lin Xun pondered, he pressed the second option, having the Master Scholar in front of him to return with him!

[The ‘Enquiring Master Scholar of the Direct View Association’ is about to borrow a pen and paper from the ‘Combat Angel- Valkyrie’ to draw out the location of the president of the Direct View Association…]

[You raise your hand to stop him and give the refined copper carriage the command to return to the ‘Direct View School Ruins’.]

[He is greatly alarmed and quickly advises you to wait until early tomorrow to return to the ruins alone. By then, the president will surely be dead beyond death.]

[If you take him with you now, what if you encounter the ‘Mist Barrier Monster Sovereign’…]

[You raise your hand, and the ‘Pre-stored magic ring on your hand emits a faint light, which forces the ‘Enquiring Master Scholar from the Direct View Association’ to close his mouth in haste.]

[After a brief silence, he begins to nag you again, saying things like the president is not dead yet, and if you go now, you might face a fierce counterattack from the president, which will cost you a lot…]

[He also mentions that if you are in a hurry to get the equipment, you don’t have to take him with you. He can swear to the ‘Almighty True Knowledge’ that the location of the president he drew is certainly true and that he wouldn’t fool you.]

[You glance up, and the ‘Combat Angel- Valkyrie’ draws her bow and arrow, aiming at his incessant mouth, which forces him to shut up once again.]

Lin Xun was impatiently hoping that the carriage could return to the Direct View Association faster.

The five-minute wait seemed extraordinarily long at this point.

“After getting the shell, look for Bennett to exchange for a normal carriage!”

As he anxiously waited, the text finally started to jump.

[The carriage slowly stops, the carriage door opens automatically, and you step out slowly…]

[Within the pale mist, the refined copper railings have already collapsed, and all over the ground are fragmented bricks and stones. The magnificent building which should have stood within the fences has turned into a barely visible, large ruin shrouded by the mist.]

[Above the ruins, the enormous figure of the ‘Knowledge-seeking Mist Barrier Monster Sovereign’ is partially visible in the mist, making it impossible for you to see its entirety…]

[The masticating sounds of the giant monster can be heard in the mist, it seems to be feeding on the corpses of scholars in the ruins.]

[After devouring each body, it rests and digests for a while in the same spot.]

[Though you can’t see it fully, you know that as it digests its prey, its terrifying power continues to grow!]

“Damn it, this thing is back again!”

There’s no need to talk about the power of the ‘Mist Barrier Monster Sovereign’. For Lin Xun to dare to look for the president of the Direct View Association under its nose was undoubtedly a suicidal act.

“If I return like this, and the giant monster finds the Direct View Association president in the ruins, then I will have no chance at getting that shell…”

Lin Xun frowned and began thinking of a strategy.

His eyes once again glanced at the ‘Bronze Whistle’ in his item column.

“Three-headed lion… Sorry about this!”
