I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1399 - Chapter 1399 Chapter 1401 Reward

Chapter 1399: Chapter 1401: Reward Chapter 1399: Chapter 1401: Reward In the Assessment World, it wasn’t just Song Jian who completed the golden branch quest. Doya, Noya, and Patsha had as well. Perhaps Doya and Patsha might have covered for Song Jian a bit, but Noya would definitely spread the word about Song Jian obtaining the Blood of Gold as soon as possible, after all, the Blood of Gold was just too famous among the indigenous people of the game world!

Looking at the stretch of stone wall on the plaza, Song Jian felt cold sweat about to trickle down. Most players didn’t know what was depicted on it, but the indigenous people of the game world surely understood, and Song Jian had already noticed that many locals were giving him peculiar looks.

“Damn it, if I could, I would really want to destroy it!” Song Jian secretly thought.

Just at that moment, in front of the stone wall, a milk-white orb of light suddenly appeared. Shortly after, a figure emerged from the light.

Clasping a trident, with two pairs of black and white wings unfurling behind him, he was clad in tight golden armor, a large red cape fluttering in the wind behind him, and on his face, a golden mask; at a fierce glance, he looked exactly like the painting of King Smolahan.

Almost instinctively, Song Jian summoned the Sky-breaking Sword into his hand, gripping it firmly. Although Song Jian had defeated the final boss guarding the Blood of Gold in the tomb, King Smolahan, he still vividly remembered King Smolahan’s several large-area lethal skills, and if he truly started a bloodbath here, Song Jian feared few people would survive.

“Puzzled ones, who can tell me what scene is depicted in this glorious mural? The one to answer correctly will receive a reward!” King Smolahan seemed to have lost his memory from the time in the tomb and looked at Song Jian with the same neutrality as the others.

“He seems not to be real, but an illusion…” Song Jian sensed something odd about King Smolahan; standing under the stone wall, there was no sign of breathing, heartbeat, or other signs of life, and even the aura emanating from his body felt faint.

Song Jian took a step forward, came up to King Smolahan, and swung his hand towards his body; indeed, his hand passed straight through King Smolahan’s figure without any hindrance.

At that moment, King Smolahan turned his head to look at Song Jian and asked in a hoarse voice, “Song Jian, do you know the content of the first painting?”

“This depicts the scene where the Twelve-winged God of Light bestowed the Divine War Halberd and the Blood of Gold upon King Smolahan!” Song Jian stated calmly.

As his voice fell, the first painting on the stone wall suddenly burst into dazzling light, emitting blinding brilliance. After a long while, the light gradually dimmed, eventually turning into a soft glow, and the content of the mural became more lifelike, so detailed that one could even see the dynamic scene as if being there in person.

King Smolahan took out a gemstone radiating purplish-red light from his chest and handed it to Song Jian, saying, “This is your reward for answering the question!”

The onlookers let out a gasp when they saw that just for answering one question, he had received an Epic Quality gemstone. It was known that defeating monsters in the game world had a certain chance to drop gemstones, but most bosses, even if they dropped gemstones, would only drop ones below golden quality. In the market, one frequently saw blue or even green quality gemstones, but silver quality and above were rare to see for sale, and if they ever appeared, they would be snatched in an instant.

Song Jian glanced at the gemstone in his hand, named “Dazzling Gemstone of Attack”, its attributes were plentiful with five in total: it increased all attributes, attack damage, Armor Break probability, critical hit damage, and the last was an Aura Skill, War God’s Roar!

War God’s Roar (Aura): Aura range 100 meters, all teammates within the aura range will receive a 30% increase in attack speed/movement speed, and a 15% increase in damage. This effect has a priority over domains, making it very difficult for dispelling skills to remove or shield this buff!

This gem can only be set in weapons, and it can be said that even an ordinary quality weapon will leap to become an excellent weapon once set with this gem!

Setting the gem does not require any procedures, but if one wishes to replace the gem, a grandmaster-level blacksmith must be found to remove the gem. Additionally, a spirit jade of the same quality will be consumed, and it will ensure that neither the weapon nor the gem suffers damage during the removal process.

Song Jian thought for a moment, then handed the gem in his hand to Wang Qi. The biggest effect of this gem was the War God’s Roar aura skill, which would have its greatest effect in a team setting.

“Boss, answer the rest of the questions, this is an epic quality gem!” Wang Qi, having received the gem, directly placed it into his inventory slot, then excitedly said to Song Jian.

“A person probably only has one chance!” Song Jian shook his head, “This is a piece of history about the Smorahan Empire, it should have a history of over ten thousand years. I think you’d better go to the library to consult relevant sources before answering the questions!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi immediately rushed to the largest library in the city with members of the City of Hope Alliance, but after they left, Song Jian noticed two NPCs began to answer the questions. Clearly, for a history that spans over ten thousand years, the indigenous NPCs of the game world took a greater interest, as it involved the legendary bloodline!

Song Jian shook his head, turned, and left the so-called Wall of Glorious Merits. This was just a minor incident. Even without it, the news of Song Jian obtaining the legendary bloodline would likely spread rapidly throughout the entire game world!

“In fact, in a way, I did use the legendary bloodline, just to enhance one of my external equips…” Song Jian touched his brow, musing to himself.

“Lord of the city, did you really obtain the legendary bloodline?” At that moment, an NPC stepped forward, respectfully bowed to Song Jian, and asked in a low voice, “I am a member of the Sala Clan, may I ask if it is possible to purchase this legendary bloodline from your hands? As far as I know, the legendary bloodline cannot be utilized by the favored of the gods. If you are willing to sell, our Sala Clan will try to meet any conditions you have. We are very sincere!”

This was a level sixty NPC, likely the owner of a store in the city. These NPCs who conduct business in large cities all have the backing of powerful forces, most of which belong to family enterprises.

Song Jian had heard of this Sala Clan, a medium-sized family from the City of Sin. The head of the clan was a hereditary count with real power.

“Sorry, the legendary bloodline cannot be taken out of the Assessment World. Although in the end I obtained it, it cannot be used in a transaction!” Song Jian said regretfully.
