I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1016 - Chapter 1016 Chapter 1017 Princess Her Highness_1

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1017 Princess Her Highness_1 Chapter 1016: Chapter 1017 Princess Her Highness_1 Tutan and the other two examinees who had refused Song Jian’s recruitment now had faces full of regret.

“Damn it, to think that there was a restriction where only the victors could buy these items–if I had known, I would have accepted that divine protege’s offer to join…” Tutan gazed at the items that were only available for purchase by the victors, his eyes turning red with regret.

Most of the merchandise displayed on this counter were just very common items, also purchasable in the gaming world, but what truly mattered to Tutan and the others were the exclusive items that could only be bought here.

“Star Slayer Light Annihilator blueprints, adaptive steel fortress wall designs, sovereign-grade city guardian blueprints–my war merits are enough to buy these items, but, but they require one to be a victor to purchase…” An examinee who had participated in sieges more frequently said with a face full of regret.

“Tataya, can you buy these blueprints?” Tutan turned to look at Tataya.

“I can buy them, but these items cannot be traded; they can only be used by oneself…” Tataya said with a troubled look on her face.

“Tataya, I am willing to hire you as a vassal of the Tutan family clan, with the treatment of an elite member–just buy one of these blueprints, study them, and build for our Tutan family clan…” Tutan’s eyes lit up as he immediately said.

“But the learning requirements for these blueprints are so high; one would need to be at least a high-level designer to study them from scratch…” Tataya showed a troubled expression.

“Our family clan is willing to provide all resources…” Tutan was interrupted before he could finish speaking by a snicker from an adjacent examinee.

“Pfft~, that’s hilarious. Do you think a high-level designer can be produced with just resources?” A woman in a red dress looked at Tutan scornfully and said with a laugh, “Do you think a high-level designer is like those life professions you can foster with resources? Even the simplest building designer, to advance from junior to intermediate level requires a certain talent–it’s not even worth considering without it. And as for high-level designers? Without a unique design philosophy and works of their own, they shouldn’t even dream of becoming high-level. Moreover, do you think advancing to high-level designer has no requirements and you can just get there with accumulated proficiency? Naive!”

Tutan was startled and turned his head to look at the lady in the red dress, “Pr… Princess Merlinia…”

This woman in a red dress turned out to be the daughter of the Grand Duke of the City of Hymns. Tutan hurriedly bowed and said, “I have seen Princess Merlinia, I thank the Princess for enlightening me…”

Although the Tutan family clan was under the City of Sin, they still had many properties in the City of Hymns and dared not offend this imperious princess.

“Hmph, in the Assessment World, you killed my vassal hero and attacked my castle, but I didn’t see such respect then!” Princess Merlinia glanced at Tutan with anger and huffed.

“What? Princess, you also participated in this assessment?” Tutan broke out in a cold sweat, only now realizing that he had eliminated too many people in the Assessment World. After the Element faction secured the Titan Giant blueprint, they began to aggressively encroach on other factions’ territories, eliminating many examinees of other factions.

Suddenly remembering something, Tutan looked around and noticed that the leader of the Dungeon faction’s examinees had already left without him realizing it, and his face showed a hint of bitterness.

You must know that the Dungeon and Element factions’ examinees had nearly eliminated most of the people present. Others might not remember regular Dungeon or Element faction examinees, but the leaders of these two factions were definitely memorable figures.

“The Element faction, hahaha, well done, defeating my Hell army left and right, good, good!” Prince Salla stared at Tutan with bloodshot eyes, grinding his teeth.

“Damn it, I’ve offended another big shot!” thought Tutan, internally lamenting.

“Enough, what happened in the Assessment World was all about showing our own prowess. Being eliminated signifies a lack of strength and luck on our part, and I do not blame you for that,” said Princess Merlinia, giving Tutan a cold glance and speaking loudly.

“Indeed, it’s a cause for celebration that the Tutan family clan has produced such an impressive figure!” Prince Salla also spoke in an insincere tone.

Tutan nearly sweated bullets, seeing that neither individual looked like they had any intention of absolving him of blame.

“So it was you who secured the Titan Giant blueprint in the Assessment World, then nearly turned the tables for the Element faction?” Princess Merlinia turned her head to look at Tataya.

“Yes, Your Highness!” Tataya nervously responded to Princess Merlinia with a bow.

“Impressive, achieving a chain quest in the Assessment World on your own is truly remarkable!” Princess Merlinia exclaimed in admiration.

You should know that the tasks acquired in the Assessment World are no simple feat. Even a lucky gem requires slaying a Black Dragon, which illustrates the difficulty of the challenges. Tataya, without the help of others and solely relying on her own strength, completed all the quests and secured the final reward, a feat of perseverance and power surpassing over ninety percent of those present.

“Should you wish, you may come to the City of Hymns and serve as one of my advisors!” Princess Merlinia smiled and said, “Moreover, the rewards you’ve earned can be used to enhance your own power!”

“Prin… Princess, I’m not sure how I could be of assistance to you, for you to esteem me so highly?” Tataya was a bit excited, but even more nervous.

“I just want to know who was the last to recruit you?” Princess Merlinia asked.

“You mean the human faction’s examinee?” Tataya looked puzzledly at Princess Merlinia, “He’s a divine protege, not from our world.”

“A divine protege?” Princess Merlinia nodded and continued, “What else? I want to know some details about him, for example, how did the Element faction eventually lose? What kind of power does this divine protege possess?”

“Your Highness, I can tell you all of this information without holding anything back,” Tutan quickly said, his face filled with a flattering smile.

Princess Merlinia was surprised and then suddenly burst into laughter, “Hehe, I got a bit anxious. Information about that divine protege will probably spread throughout the City of Hymns before long, and there’s no need for me to hurry.”

Just then, Song Jian’s figure slowly appeared in front of the counter. Seeing this scene, all the examinees who hadn’t left turned their attention to him. Who else could appear so late if not the final victor?
