Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 789: Chapter 348: Saint Heir

Hearing that Kristen was about to state her requirements, Wu Chang became nervous.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

The information given by the other party was highly valuable, which meant that the price he would pay for these insights would be equally substantial.

Having already accepted the information, it was too late to regret it now; he could only hope that the demands wouldn’t be too excessive.

Kristen noticed Wu Chang’s nervousness and said with a smile:

”My request is quite simple. I’ve taken a liking to a youngster who’s encountered some troubles. Help me solve her troubles and assist her in completing her ascension, and we’ll consider the information exchange settled.”

Wu Chang asked nonchalantly, ”It does sound simple, but how exactly can I help this person you mentioned?”

Kristen waved her hand, causing the example tree to dissolve and turn back into rose petals.

She reached out, grabbed the petals, placed them back into the rose, and then pinned the rose onto Wu Chang’s chest.

”Bring it with you, and the person you need to help will appear in your next dungeon.”

”Speaking of which, you two are old acquaintances, so after meeting, you’ll naturally understand everything.”

Wu Chang reached out and plucked the rose, a line of prompts appearing before his eyes.

”Item Name: Rose Revelation”

”Item Type: Special Consumable”

”Item Description: Players with temporary management privileges can use the Rose Revelation to open a special Divine Kingdom pathway, modifying the next dungeon to a specified one.”

”Note: The difficulty of the specified dungeon must not be lower than the difficulty that the user should be matched with.”

From the item’s attributes, Rose Revelation is similar in effect to the Life Path Cube, both replacing a randomly assigned dungeon with a specified one.

Except the Life Path Cube’s ability comes from temporary management privileges, while the Rose Revelation’s power comes from the Divine Kingdom.

The item itself isn’t rare, but Kristen’s casual gesture certainly impressed Wu Chang.

No special crafting ritual or unique materials were needed; she could casually transform a flower into a special item with a wave of her hand.

It indeed felt like the ability to pluck flowers and leaves, all capable of inflicting harm.

With such skills, it’s no wonder the Revelation stands as one of the three major cults of the Evil God.

Despite being part of a large Divine Kingdom, compared to these veteran Evil Gods, he and Erin were as green as new recruits.

There’s definitely room for improvement.

Since the mission has already been accepted and the other party expressed sincerity, he felt obliged to remind his collaborator:

”Madam Kristen, this rose-linked dungeon has a difficulty limit, which cannot be lower than the difficulty I should match.”

”So, if the dungeon you specify is too easy, it might need to be used in conjunction with other items.”

The dungeon difficulty he faced when entering the game was different from that of Kristen’s followers.

For the average max-level player, their benchmark difficulty might only be A-Level Projection Dungeon, and casually setting a B-Level True Dungeon would meet the item’s trigger condition.

But for him, unless it was a near uncontrollable A-Level True Dungeon, it likely wouldn’t satisfy the specified dungeon conditions.

He understood the Abyss Game Administrator all too well.

Kristen said:

”If the dungeon difficulty was too low, I wouldn’t need to ask you to intervene.”

”It’s a world facing ascension, or perhaps already beginning its ascension, it surely won’t disappoint you.”

”That’s good.” Wu Chang first sighed in relief, then quickly sensed something was off.

What does ’won’t disappoint me’ mean, saying as if I only enjoy tackling high-difficulty dungeons.

If given the choice to easily win, who would want to be in top-tier matches all the time?

He noticed that the ”Rose Revelation” note didn’t list a recorded Plane number like the Life Path Cube, prompting him to ask:

”Madam Kristen, what dungeon are you having me enter? Knowing the dungeon in advance would give me a better chance when rescuing someone.”

Kristen shook her head, saying:

”I trust your capabilities; you don’t need preparation. Just follow your intuition.”

Wu Chang: ?

What does this mean? For the Bright Society, you provided such clear information, but now you’re starting to act mysterious?

Consider Hou Jingchuan; when he asked Wu to chase Lin Jiang, he clearly explained the context, the dungeon background, and the pertinent information.

But when it comes to you, it’s just ’Trust in my abilities.’

Wu Chang said, ”Even if you trust my abilities, having more information helps me make better judgments.”

”As you know, for ordinary people like us, each entry into a dungeon Plane is an extremely high-stakes challenge that should not be underestimated.”

He spoke clearly, but Kristen showed no sign of relenting.

”Your entry into the Plane, in a way, represents divine revelation, determining the path of that Plane.”

”Any information I provide would give you preconceived notions, creating your own stance. Then your actions would involve my influence, altering its original fate.”

”Moreover, it would be quite boring.”

Wu Chang rolled his eyes. At such a moment, you’re worried about whether it’s interesting. No wonder the other two Evil God’s cults are always vexed when they see you, never inviting you to their conspiracies.

He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but even though Kristen wore a noticeably large cloak, her entire face shrouded in shadow, his senses told him she was smiling.

She seemed to very much enjoy seeing him perplexed.

”Madam Kristen, is your idea of fun perhaps preparing to watch my misadventures?”

”Of course not; why would you think that?” Kristen replied cheerfully.
