Chapter 159: Chapter 130: Rope (Naming the Alliance Hierarch is too difficult, renaming is too troublesome, extra update!)_2

Whoosh—

She was directly transported away.

The computer screen immediately displayed a line of small text:

"Congratulations."

"Class B number sixty-six, you have won this battle."

"After assessment, your strength is sufficient to advance to Class A and you are designated as number fifteen of Class A."

"You have now won two consecutive battles."

"Please select one of the various options as your prize."

"Or you may accumulate rewards and choose a better prize after achieving more victories."

"The choices are as follows:"

"1. Weapons (viewable with Class B rewards);

2. Martial Arts (skill level enhancement based on number of victories);

3. Self-defense items (quality determined by number of battle victories per level);

4. Assistants (pay for their time, recruit assistants);

5. Pointers from Title-Holders (requires Class A rewards);

6. Time in the Intermediate Layer World (exchanged for victories);

7. Continue accumulating rewards."

Wu Xiaode jumped off the ring and, after reviewing each item in front of the computer, spoke up:

"I choose 7."

If there were people in this world who could fend off Death Gods, he must learn the methods and secrets involved.

Victory at Class B...

Probably couldn’t exchange for information of that level, could it?

A new line of small text immediately appeared on the computer:

"This reward has been accumulated."

Wu Xiaode placed his identification plaque back on the tray.

"Challenge again."

He said.

A new line of text surfaced on the computer:

"This battle will be Class ’A’, with titled professionals coming as adjudicators to evaluate the fight."

"But before that, as a newcomer promoted to Class A professional, you must first pass an audit before you can join ’Holy Name City’, continue competing in the ring, and enjoy the benefits related to ’Holy Name City’."

"Due to recent events in the city, your audit will be conducted by two titled professionals.

Two figures flashed onto the ring.

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but look up and saw that both individuals were among the four statues.

One figure was small and thin, a dwarf with a hair styled in a topknot.

The other figure was the long-haired man whom the crowd had awakened earlier, the one who tossed the "Death God" at the city gates.

"Ah, a newcomer who looks quite strong," said the dwarf.

The long-haired man glanced at Wu Xiaode, his lips curling slightly as he added, "Indeed, only sixteen or seventeen years old, a promising future."

—That came out of nowhere!

"Honorable sirs, may I ask what does the audit involve?" Wu Xiaode inquired.

"Mainly, it’s to prevent some unsavory elements from infiltrating the city, all right, boy, let’s see you..."

As the dwarf spoke, he lightly jumped forward, landing on Wu Xiaode’s shoulder, staring intensively at him.

"Is this the audit process?" asked Wu Xiaode.

The long-haired man chuckled warmly: "Relax a bit, this master possesses the title ’Heavenly Ghost Eyes’; he can see your entire background. If there’s no issue, you’ll be joining us straight away."

Wu Xiaode had to calm himself.

Both of these experts were capable of dealing with Death God-ranked monsters; it should be fine... right?

"Hey, this kid is no simple matter."

The dwarf exclaimed excitedly.

"How so?" The long-haired man asked.

"None of his friends are pushovers, one crazy one, a Blood Emperor, a person of great fortune, and—eh? This young lady was thrown into the Sin Prison to get reborn from the Yeollow Springs Corpse Pit, how could she have such strange tastes, baffling indeed." The dwarf shook his head.

The long-haired man’s eyelid twitched and he asked, "This doesn’t prove any issue with him, have you found anything else?"

"Yes, um, there’s another lady, tsk tsk tsk, can’t say, can’t say," replied the dwarf.

"What about him himself? Any issues?" the long-haired man asked.

"He himself had no problem, but his talent was a bit frightening. I only knew his awakened ability was extremely rare—"

"Alright, kid, you passed."

"Now you can choose an organization."

"You said choose an organization? What does that mean?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Here in Holy Name City, we have four major organizations. I take care of food, entertainment, services, and logistics; the long-haired man manages combat and intelligence; Birdman manages the salvation of souls from various worlds; the old woman manages the garbage dump—"

"If you want to make it in Holy Name City, you need to pick a faction to join."

The dwarf said this and waved his hand casually.

Boom, boom, boom—

Four statues emerged on the stage.

They were the images of four people wearing masks.

"Choose. Just place your hand on one of the statues to sign a contract and join the corresponding faction," the dwarf explained.

Wu Xiaode looked at the four statues, hesitating for a moment.

He hadn’t been here long enough to really understand these powerful figures.

The only one he knew was the long-haired man who had kicked that "Death God" possessed Demon Spider in front of the tower.

"Choose me. With a promising young seed like you, I will nurture you well and help you gain a title soon, becoming a pillar of Holy Name City,"

The long-haired man said with a smile, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Wu Xiaode glanced at him, thinking how openly this powerful figure was wooing him?

The dwarf had said so much that, while sounding nice, was filled with trouble, and now stood to the side, pretending to be objective and fair.

He wasn’t even that enthusiastic, yet why are you suddenly making me the "pillar"?

Unsolicited favors are signs of hidden intentions or thief!

But the man was a big shot and had already spoken; it was not good to offend him outright—

Wu Xiaode bowed and said seriously:

"Thank you for your generous love, but actually, my purpose in coming to Holy Name City is to find true love."

"Find true love?" the dwarf and the long-haired man said simultaneously.

"Yes, amidst the vast sea of people, feeling helpless and adrift, I’ve had my fill of life’s bitterness and am now looking to find a beautiful lady to procreate with soon."

Wu Xiaode coughed lightly and continued, "Thus, about joining the battle-driven groups, I think not. I will choose this senior."

He then reached out and pressed his hand on the dwarf’s statue.

—After all, it aligned best with his earlier statement.

This way, he would not offend the long-haired man, nor did it make the dwarf feel troubled by him.

A person inclined towards romance, how troublesome can he be?

However, just then, the dwarf screamed, "I won’t take you! You’re too handsome and might seduce all the maidens here! That won’t do!"

Wu Xiaode’s hand stiffened.

What?

You’re really seeing me as a romantic rival?

He found himself in a quandary.

The long-haired man, smirking, said, "Then come to my place. We have many valiant and beautiful girls here. Or do you have something against me?"

Now Wu Xiaode was truly in a dilemma.

It seemed—

He might have no choice but to pick the long-haired man?

Just then, a sudden turn of events occurred—

Wu Xiaode felt a strong force from his hand, pulling him in a direction and pressing it down!

It was that red string!

It pulled Wu Xiaode’s hand and forcefully pressed it on the statue of a burly man covered in feathers.

The Book of the Dead quickly appeared before Wu Xiaode, revealing lines of ice crystal letters:

"Your impending dark fate has triggered the effect of the blessed red string."

"Your current fate has changed from ’Death God’s Cage’ to ’Path of Peace’."

"Note:"

"—This is a red string for praying and ensuring safety, possessing the usual kind of blessing."
