My Salvation Game Became true?!. Chapter 153 – Chapter 153: Chapter 151: The Eighth Destiny Draw! [2/3]

Chapter 153: Chapter 151: The Eighth Destiny Draw! [2/3]

“It's not expensive.”

At this moment, the balance of Destiny Points on the game's main interface was: 2066 points.

He was just a bit short of the eighth Destiny Draw.

This time, according to his estimation, he might be able to draw the talent he wanted… such as a planting master.

He was looking forward to it.

But he couldn't help splurging a little.

After all, 50 Destiny Points weren't much and could easily be earned back on a mission.

Use!

‘Ding!'

‘Prompt: Clue has been used, obtained hint for the location of a “Defensive Treasure”.'

The exploration map in the Ghastly Realm, just like when he had upgraded the ‘Map Range,' kept zooming in until An Jianyou and her team's avatars shrunk to the size of rice grains.

The difference was that the surrounding map remained pitch black, except within the darkness, far from An Jianyou's location, a special symbol indicating treasure appeared.

Click.

‘Defensive Treasure (Unknown)'

It was just that it was quite distant.

The treasure symbols that appeared around An Jianyou's squad had almost fused with their icons under the zoom, and estimating based on this ratio, the distance to the defensive treasure from An Jianyou's team was…

“Six to seven hundred kilometers away!”

“In the Ghastly Realm, let alone six or seven hundred kilometers, even a few kilometers is extraordinarily far!”

Currently, the team could venture out only a few kilometers at most in a single exploration.

They had to be extremely cautious along the way, avoid the terrifying entities in the dense fog, continually fight off Mysterious Evil creatures, and even as triple Awakeners, they had to stay vigilant at all times. If they got tired over time, it could lead to danger.

Therefore, a normal exploration lasted only about an hour, or an hour and a half at most.

Firstly, to collect information about the Ghastly Realm; whatever the Angel Envoys saw would be recorded and transformed into game data.

Secondly, to hunt for treasures; along the way, they would occasionally see mysterious materials, herbs, and plants not marked on the interface—thus, it was necessary to learn to identify various materials; otherwise, most people would pass up treasures right in front of them.

Thirdly, to defeat monsters for loot.

In the Ghastly Realm, the bodies of the defeated Mysterious Evil creatures didn't vanish and often yielded many mysterious materials, a significant gain with a drop rate at least a hundred times higher than that of Mysterious Evils in the real world.

Of course, there were drawbacks. Mysterious Evils slain in the Ghastly Realm that weren't part of a mission didn't yield rewards from the ‘Mission Dispatch' module.

Fourth, for exploration evaluation. Normally, at the end of an exploration, the performance was assessed, and rewards such as a certain number of Destiny Points, Ghast Crystals, and other items were settled.

Just not much.

In the previous few explorations, they only received a higher evaluation when they discovered the ‘Black Stone Tower' and recorded it as a ‘Special Structure.'

Overall, the gains were significant, which was why he was enthusiastic about Ghastly Realm exploration.

“However, right now, only my main team of Salamander has the capability to survive in the Ghastly Realm. In the future, as the Salamander warriors grow stronger, I could arrange multiple teams for exploration or even allow them to explore freely, with the organization only acting as a platform charging a fee.”

“Of course, by then, there must be at least the conditions of free entry into the Ghastly Realm and established safe zones in the Ghastly Realm… If conditions allow, it might be completely open to the public.”

“The world being devoured is a major trend, and the increase of Awakeners is also inevitable.”

Even though, at present, the Awakening process was very dangerous with a low success rate, if the Tide of Gray Mist were to descend, given a large enough base, many Awakeners would still emerge.

It was just that by then, society would be even more chaotic.

Salamander had to prepare in advance.

Guide, contain, stabilize, teach… A myriad of ideas flashed through his mind, all rather rudimentary plans that needed refinement.

“I'm getting ahead of myself.”

Fang You knocked on his own head, thinking about so many issues and entangled in various problems could lead to baldness.

But he still had to think about them.

After all, he was a Salamander mentor.

“Back to the matter at hand, the current issue is the defensive treasure is very far from An Jianyou's team. Relying on normal exploration, it may take hundreds of days to reach the target location.”

“Hmm, that's not entirely true. Once the strength of the Salamander Angel Envoys improves, they'll be able to move more freely in the Ghastly Realm, and they'll be able to venture further with each exploration, but…”

That was something that couldn't be achieved in a short time.

Was the Level 2 function actually useless?

Wait a minute!

“I almost forgot.”

“Normally, guiding to a treasure hundreds of kilometers away would indeed be useless, tempting but unattainable, but…”

“But I have An Jianyou in Salamander!”

“No need to use the main entrance to enter the Ghastly Realm, just go in and out through the side or back doors.”

“Several hundred kilometers is an extremely long distance in the Ghastly Realm, but in reality, it's just a high-speed train ride away.”

He immediately set a task for An Jianyou's team.

Leave the Ghastly Realm and travel by car or some other means to the destination, then enter the Ghastly Realm from reality and claim the treasure!

The process was perfect.

After assigning the task, he stopped paying attention; even when entering the Ghastly Realm, there was no need to constantly monitor—An Jianyou had already delved into many explorations, a seasoned veteran by now.

He merely instructed Xiao Huan to keep an eye out, responsible for treasure alerts and calling him for assistance if danger arose.

True·Idle Exploration.

Mature Angel Envoys and competent assistants should know how to handle difficulties on their own.

Fang You started busying himself with his own matters.

Practice.

Check on the conditions of the Angel Envoys.

Arrange for newcomers to join and Awaken.

Allocate the organization's resources and check the exchange list for any shortcomings.

Remotely observe the situation in Wavemist Nation and continue providing reinforcements.

Show up to comfort Angel Envoys who failed Awakening, providing them with psychological guidance.

Organizing Ghastly Realm information.

Drafting the plan and so on and so forth.

I'm going bald!

And this is with little Illusion's assistance.

“Master, An Jianyou and her team have returned, their mission contributions have been distributed, and the items have been transported to the organization's warehouse,”

It seems this trip went smoothly.

He didn't go to look for An Jianyou but instead opened the ‘Ghastly Realm Exploration' module, which had an unread prompt.

「Ghastly Realm Exploration: An Jianyou's Squad Exploration Record and Settlement (Click to Expand)」

「16:25, An Jianyou's squad entered the Ghastly Realm through the Passage to the Mystic Eye.」

「16:27, An Jianyou's squad killed “Three-Star Mysterious Evils×2,” “Two-Star Mysterious Evils×15,” “One-Star Mysterious Evils×198,” obtaining: Green Level materials×2, White Level materials×26.」

「16:29, An Jianyou found that the target location was not before them, and judging from more detailed clues, the treasure was located hundreds of meters straight down, where in reality there was an open field.」

「16:33, An Jianyou's squad began to delve into this special area, a spiraling descent with strange crystals, almost like a gaping chasm leading to hell, [Photo1.jpg], [Photo2.jpg], [Photo3.jpg].」

「16:35, Xing Jing Lei tried to gather some crystal blocks but found them indestructible. To avoid making a big disturbance, Xing Jing Lei didn't dare to exert his full strength and chose to give up.」

「16:39, The three team members continued to delve deeper.」

「16:49, The three team members continued to delve deeper.」

「16:51, The team encountered a Calamity Level Mysterious Evil blocking the downward path; after waiting three minutes, the creature finally moved away.」

「16:59, An Jianyou's squad reached the destination, a small patch of blue ore containing bizarre silver scales, writhing like living fish, [Photo1.jpg].」

「17:02, With not many Mysterious Evils nearby, the three started mining, retrieving the silver scales. Xing Jing Lei took the lead in mining, and during this, he was bitten by a silver scale. Not even his Copper Skin skill could prevent it; his wound bled profusely, and flesh sprouted rapidly. Xing Jing Lei immediately used a Purifying Potion, applying three bottles in succession, finally containing the wound's deterioration.」

「17:28, After cautiously collecting by the three, they finally obtained all the silver scales along with some mysterious materials, and packed it into the Flesh and Feathered Bird, obtaining: “Strange Implement: Silver Scale Heart Shell (Blue)×6,” and a number of mysterious materials.」

「17:32, Because Xing Jing Lei was injured, the three immediately returned.」

「17:33, An Jianyou attempted to use ‘Passage to the Mystic Eye' to return but failed; this area does not correspond with reality.」

「17:41, On their way back, An Jianyou saw that this area was vast and could be further delved into, but it seemed a great terror lay deeper within, so the three hastened their return.」

「17:51, The three left ‘Spiral Land' and returned through the Passage to the Mystic Eye.」

「This exploration discovered a ‘Special Land,' rated , and the exploration settlement received: Fate Points×60, Ghast Crystals×200, training cards, and several other items.」

“An area that doesn't correspond with reality?”

“So, this means the area is an entrance from the shallow layers of the Ghastly Realm to the deeper layers?”

There weren't just summary photos of the exploration; little Illusion had also recorded everything from An Jianyou's perspective. He was now fast-forwarding through the footage.

He sat at his desk, pondering for a while.

“Let's mark this place for now.”

“And the treasure obtained this time, the ‘Silver Scale Heart Shell,' is indeed a defensive Strange Implement, but it comes with the side effect of gnawing at the user's flesh…” He frowned; this side effect seemed quite severe.

No matter. Wang Chui is skilled in forging Strange Implements, let him have the first try.

…

Within Wavemist Nation, somewhere.

“High Priest, we have been attacked in three cities and eight towns, suffering significant losses among the cultists.”

A cultist in a black robe spoke without showing much fear.

The priest dressed as a normal human was just as composed.

No matter how many cultists were lost, it wouldn't shake his foundation; these cultists were no different from Mysterious Evils, merely cannon fodder.

‘However, to have located so many of our bases, humans of this world are somewhat capable.'

‘It seems there's also a not-so-weak Awakener; the black-robed cultists are no match for him.'

‘But he's just an ordinary human, heh heh.'

He shook his head.

Human resistance is the most foolish and meaningless; in the end, they will find that only by embracing the master and basking in his divine radiance can they truly be reborn.

Humans are just ants, just food, just shells, but believers of the master can be born from them, and that is sufficient.

He wasn't concerned with human resistance, which was as laughable to him as ants fighting.

What he cared about were the followers of other great existences.

His master, the great Crimson Moon, was the most exalted, but other beings also possessed supreme power, and their priests were impediments to spreading his master's glory.

He knew that the priest of the Gloom's Shadow had descended on this world.

Compared to the inconsequential humans, he was more eager to locate that priest and eliminate him.

But so far, he had no leads.

The Scarlet High Priest's expression grew solemn,

“Could that guy be better at hiding than I am?”

“No matter, proceed according to the plan.”

“The death of cultists and humans is all part of my plan, but more is needed, a lot more blood.”

“A grand ritual is required, to please our great master.”

“By then, I might even advance further and have the chance to obtain divinity!”

His ardor swelled.

…

The heretical cult seemed to be brewing a significant event, Fang You guessed as much, but he could still only proceed with the plan, seeking to locate them and curb their spread.

If he couldn't root out the Evil God's priests, then he must find a way to strengthen himself.

If he was strong enough, then he had no fear of any goblins or monsters.

“So, let's go ahead and draw a card.”

The following day,

Fang You looked at the panel displaying “2222” Fate Points. He returned to the organization's Secret Realm and began his destiny card draw.
