There Must Be Something Wrong With This Game!
Chapter 167 - 33: The Divination Master’s AchievementAccording to the event rules, players could only participate in the "Pollution Invasion" event once every two days. Afterward, they had to go to the new Divine Hall building to clear the contamination and turn in any contaminants they had collected.
Players would receive points based on the level of the contaminants they turned in and could use these event points to redeem rewards at any time.
Players couldn’t enter any dungeons before clearing the contamination, a restriction that drew a lot of complaints.
’Can’t you just let us contaminate other dungeons and farm for event points?’
In response, the admin team said no. Absolutely not.
On his way to the Divine Hall, Duan Fei reviewed his latest haul.
"Main Quest: Clear Contamination (Complete)
After a despicable and shameless dungeon exploration, your Level has increased to Level 11. Your Life Limit and Physical Limit have increased slightly. Your Constitution has increased by 1 point, and your Spirit has increased by 1 point.
The Pseudo-human Extract continues to take effect in your body, increasing your Constitution by 1 point.
The [Void Glasses] are continuously absorbing the power of the Void, granting you 3 Void Skill Points.
Your [Crowbar Skill] has reached Minor Success. You have become more proficient in wielding a Crowbar.
You have saved a world, gaining 1 reputation point. Due to your [Savior] title, you ultimately gained 2 reputation points.
You have obtained a new card: [Contempt for the Demon God]. After showing contempt for an unfathomable god, you will receive a special reward.
Dungeon Evaluation: Meritorious Service. Abyss Coin reward doubled. You have received six thousand Abyss Coins.
Bonus Items: Fixed Stone x3 (A stone that can permanently lock an affix)."
The Fixed Stones were Duan Fei’s reward from Merlin, given on the condition that he help Yue Hua win the next Holy Grail War and secure the final prize of eight thousand.
’Just for eight thousand, he’s giving away three Fixed Stones? Merlin’s affection for his granddaughter is twisted, to say the least.’
But hey, benefits were benefits. Duan Fei wasn’t one to complain.
After completing the long dungeon, Duan Fei realized his Attributes had become quite impressive.
"Void Summoner, Level 11.
Power: 16 (Title +6)
Constitution: 11
Agility: 12
Reaction: 10
Spirit: 21
Skills: [Medical Skill] (Great Success), [Rough Healing Technique] (Minor Success), [Spiritual Armor] (Minor Success), [Crowbar Art] (Minor Success), [Void Resistance] (Great Success), [Eye of the Void] (Special), [Random Summoning] (Beginner), [Void Injection] (Minor Success)."
For a Level 11, these Attributes were quite formidable.
But as he looked at his Skills, Duan Fei noticed the Summoner’s second major disadvantage emerge.
It was difficult to obtain Summoner Skills from dungeons. Almost all of them had to be unlocked using Professional Skill Points.
Training a Summoner’s Skills wasn’t easy, either. Summoning consumed Extraordinary Power, and you couldn’t summon again until the previous Summoned Creature died or the Skill went off cooldown.
Furthermore, Summoner Skill cooldowns could easily last a day, and you could only have one Summoned Creature active at a time.
The Skill that increased the number of active Summoned Creatures was [Summoning Limit]. However, that was a mid-to-late game Skill with significant Level and prerequisite requirements, making it impossible to get early on.
No wonder everyone said the Summoner Profession was so luck-dependent. The early-game strategy was basically to summon something and then go hide. Only at higher Levels in the late game did more playstyles and builds open up.
Completely absorbed in thought about his next move, Duan Fei vaguely heard Jinghong say something beside him and agreed without thinking.
When they reached the new Divine Hall, Duan Fei saw that it was already packed with players.
More than half the admin team was on duty here. They were taking various contaminants from players, tossing them into preservation containers, and using the numbers displayed on top to determine the points awarded.
Staring at the Temple for a moment, Duan Fei asked in confusion, "Was this Divine Hall here before?"
"It’s always been here," Jinghong replied. "We even passed by here last time when we went to buy a phone."
"Really? I don’t remember it at all."
Scratching his head in confusion, Duan Fei walked into the Divine Hall, where he was greeted by an old acquaintance.
The Divination Master was idly playing with her Crystal Ball, tapping it as she asked, "Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, who’s the fairest of them all?"
"Is it me? Oh, you flatter me. You there, Jade Rabbit, could you pour me a cup of tea? The tea you have here is simply divine."
The administrator, Jade Rabbit, was a young woman who still had an air of innocence about her. Her features were still quite youthful, making her look more like a university student than an administrator.
She slammed the tea down in front of the Divination Master, a clear expression of her displeasure, before turning to help someone else.
"Such an impatient little girl. Jinghong, come over here and let your big sis give you a good squeeze."
Hearing the Divination Master refer to herself as "big sis," both Duan Fei and Jinghong shivered with cringe. It was like watching Dongfang Bubai trying to act coy—uncomfortable to the extreme.
The contamination cleanup was surprisingly simple. All it took was a walk around the inside of the Divine Hall.
Except for a few individuals who were severely contaminated, the process only took a few seconds for everyone else.
After Duan Fei and Jinghong turned in their loot, the Divination Master stared at their event points in astonishment. "Wow! That many points on the first day? A lot of people won’t even have this many after the full seven days of the event!"
"The event is on for seven days?" Duan Fei asked sharply.
Realizing she’d let it slip, the Divination Master covered her mouth and whispered, "Don’t spread this around. There’s been no official announcement yet, but the event only lasts for seven days. Since you can only enter once every two days, that means you have four chances at most. Try to use them on long dungeons, got it?"
’Having a friend on the inside isn’t so bad,’ Duan Fei thought, looking at the Divination Master’s sincere advice.
After transferring the points to Duan Fei and Jinghong, the Divination Master took Duan Fei’s hand, pondered for a moment, and then pointed off into the distance. "There’s a Tier Three Dungeon in that direction. It has a Skill Scripture inside that would suit you, so you should check it out if you’re free. It’s a two-person dungeon, so you can take your little partner along. Just a friendly warning, though—it’s extremely difficult."
"Mm, thanks. Jinghong, do you have any classes?"
"I don’t have to," Jinghong said instantly.
"Let’s go, then."
After checking his points and browsing the available rewards, Duan Fei decided to save them for now. He figured he could pool them with his guild members later to redeem something big.
He grabbed Jinghong’s hand, and the two of them headed in the direction the Divination Master had indicated.
Watching them leave, the Divination Master said wistfully, "Ah, to be young..."
"I think you should focus on your work, Divination Master," Jade Rabbit said, crossing her arms and looking at her disapprovingly. "Gale still isn’t out of danger. We should be..."
"We already have results," the Divination Master interrupted. "The source of the contamination is a Demon God. The Black Hand behind it is the Clockmaker, one of the Pseudo-human Leaders. If you investigate along those lines, I believe you can rule out a few dungeons."
Jade Rabbit’s eyes went wide. She stared at the Divination Master and mumbled, "How... how did you know that?"
"I’m a Divination Master, after all. Don’t underestimate us old-timers, little one."
The Divination Master said leisurely, taking a sip of her tea.
