Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Gu Qingxuan reminded him, ”Secret realm missions are rare. If you come across one, make sure to accept it. The benefits are worthwhile.”

Lin Moyu nodded. Secret realms would not only help him familiarize himself with the greater world, but they were also safe.

Better yet, completing them came with rewards.

A mission that offered nothing but benefits and no risks at all; only a fool would refuse it.

Without hesitation, Lin Moyu accepted the mission.

[Meteor Secret Realm No. 97]

[Completion Reward: 50 points]

[Special note: outstanding performance will earn additional rewards.]

The mission description included the exact coordinates of the Meteor Secret Realm No. 97. The ”No. 97” referred to the Inhabitable Star System No. 97, located roughly three light-years from ,the Inhabitable Star System No. 98.

That translated to roughly 30 trillion kilometers.

The greater world was simply too vast for kilometers to be a practical unit of measurement.

Interstellar distances were measured in light-years, the distance light traveled in a year—approximately 10 trillion kilometers.

It was perfectly normal for neighboring star systems to be separated by several or even dozens of light-years.

Although Star Systems No. 97 and No. 98 were only three light-years apart, if Lin Moyu attempted to fly there under his own power, whether he could reach it within his lifetime was questionable.

The thought reminded him of the Godslaying Fortress Antares had insisted he bring.

Besides its combat capabilities, it could also serve as transportation.

Clearly, there was still much about the fortress he had yet to uncover.

”Three light-years...” Lin Moyu muttered, ”That’s incredibly far.”

Gu Qingxuan’s voice sounded beside him, ”It’s only three light-years, not far at all. You can teleport there directly through the Human Emperor Network for just one point.”

Teleportation was possible both in the real world and within the Human Emperor Network.

In reality, one had to use a teleportation formation.

Within the Human Emperor Network, however, teleportation was far more convenient and could be initiated anytime.

Both methods required payment. Any destination within ten light-years cost a flat fee of one point.

Even if Lin Moyu failed the mission, his only loss would be that single point.

Only now did Lin Moyu truly appreciate the value of points.

The 100 points Gu Qingxuan had spent to rent the cultivation chamber for his baptism of greater world laws had been an enormous expense.

Gu Qingxuan smiled, ”My guidance mission officially ends here. The rest is up to you. I have my next mission to attend to now. Hopefully we’ll meet again someday.”

Lin Moyu bowed slightly, ”Thank you, Senior Sister Gu. I hope you enter God City soon.”

Gu Qingxuan accepted the courtesy calmly, ”No need to be so polite. Just work hard yourself. With your aptitude, you have an excellent chance of entering God City yourself.”

The two had already exchanged contact information through the Human Emperor Network, allowing them to communicate whenever necessary.

Moreover, the higher Lin Moyu’s future achievements, the greater the rewards Gu Qingxuan would continue to receive as his guide.

A faint shimmer rippled across her figure before she disappeared from the Human Emperor Network.

Lin Moyu turned his attention back to the mission system.

After accepting the mission, a corresponding mission panel appeared before him.

It contained active accepted missions, completed past missions, and the rewards earned from them.

Everything was organized with remarkable clarity.

The Human Emperor Network also provided detailed explanations for every mission, along with numerous reminders and guidelines to help users complete their missions.

One notice immediately caught his attention.

[Mission restriction: every mission can only be completed once per person. Once completed, it cannot be repeated.]

This completely eliminated the possibility of repeatedly farming the same mission for points.

After carefully reading through the panel, Lin Moyu had a solid understanding of how the mission system worked.

The only thing left was practical experience.

Some things could only be understood by experiencing them firsthand.

It was just like entering a dungeon in a small world. No matter how much one read about it, nothing compared to stepping inside personally.

He was also curious to see what a secret realm in the greater world was actually like.

His gaze swept across the Mission Center.

Quite a few people were present, including several Transcendent Gods who had registered alongside him earlier.

They, too, were selecting missions.

Lin Moyu merely glanced at them without attempting to strike up a conversation.

With a thought, he gave the command, ”Teleport to the entrance of Meteor Secret Realm No. 97.”

One point was deducted.

In the next instant, his consciousness shot across the endless starry sky, racing toward its destination.

Meanwhile, aboard God Sovereign Night Breeze’s flying ship, the faint fragrance of tea drifted through the air.

God Sovereign Night Breeze sat alone, leisurely sipping his tea as he gazed into the boundless expanse of stars, his eyes seemingly fixed on some distant place.

Gu Qingxuan returned with a smile, ”Master, I’m back.”

God Sovereign Night Breeze smiled faintly, ”It seems Moyu performed quite well.”

Gu Qingxuan’s expression said everything. Had Lin Moyu’s results been anything less than extraordinary, she would never have looked this pleased.

She nodded, ”More than well; it was unbelievable. The 100 points I spent renting the cultivation chamber in the War God Temple were worth every single one.”

God Sovereign Night Breeze nodded, ”Points exist to be spent when necessary. The cultivation chambers within the War God Temple are enhanced by the power of the Grand Stellar Formation.”

”This allows the baptism of the greater world’s laws to become far more complete, greatly increasing the likelihood of bringing out one’s talent.”

In God Sovereign Night Breeze’s view, practically everyone coming from a small world had never brought their talents out.

Spending 100 points on such an opportunity was more than worthwhile.

Gu Qingxuan sat down across from her master and poured him a cup of tea, ”Master, take a guess. What evaluation do you think Junior Brother Lin received?”

God Sovereign Night Breeze chuckled, ”Do I even need to guess? Your face gives it away. It must be at least low-tier ultimate.”

Gu Qingxuan shook her head, ”Try again, Master.”

A flicker of surprise crossed God Sovereign Night Breeze’s face, ”Could it be the same as yours, Qingxuan?”

Back then, Gu Qingxuan had achieved a high-tier ultimate evaluation, placing her among the true geniuses.

Talents like hers were one in ten million.

She shook her head again, ”Though I hate to admit it, Junior Brother Lin’s aptitude surpasses mine.”

”Top-tier ultimate?” A sharp gleam flashed across God Sovereign Night Breeze’s eyes.

If it wasn’t high-tier ultimate, then only the top-tier ultimate remained.

Such an evaluation was exceedingly rare.

Even throughout the entire Vermilion Bird Starfield, with its billions of human population, only a handful possessed such aptitude.

Yet Gu Qingxuan still shook her head, ”Junior Brother Lin didn’t receive top-tier ultimate either.”

”He received... legendary.”

”What?!” God Sovereign Night Breeze froze, disbelief written across his face.

After a moment, his expression gradually turned solemn, ”This boy’s future is truly limitless.”

Gu Qingxuan looked puzzled, ”Is the legendary evaluation really that incredible?”

God Sovereign Night Breeze shook his head slowly, ”It’s far more than incredible.”

”It means his potential cannot be measured at all. Even the Human Emperor Network couldn’t determine his limit.”

”That’s precisely why it awarded him the evaluation of legendary.”

His words sent a shiver through Gu Qingxuan’s heart.

Even the Human Emperor Network couldn’t see the end of his potential.

Just how terrifying was his aptitude?

God Sovereign Night Breeze looked at her seriously, ”Qingxuan, when you interact with Moyu in the future, make sure to maintain a good relationship with him. Whatever happens, never make an enemy of him.”

Gu Qingxuan smiled, ”Don’t worry, Master. Junior Brother Lin is a good person, and we’ve gotten along well from the very beginning.”

”Good.”

…

Within the Human Emperor Network, a distance of three light-years took only three seconds to traverse. Traveling at the astonishing speed of one light-year per second, Lin Moyu soon arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.

The moment he appeared, a wave of voices washed over him.

The entrance was bustling with activity.

Human experts from more than a dozen neighboring inhabited star systems were all eligible to accept this mission.

As a result, the entrance to the Meteor Secret Realm No. 97 was crowded almost every moment of the day.

Looking into the distance, Lin Moyu saw several meteors shoot out from the secret realm before streaking into the dark depths of space.
