I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 154 --Did He Blow Up His Own Headquarters?
[Ding! You have completed the branch objective "Starlit" for the class change quest "Human Starlight"! Current quest progress: 1/3.]
[Starlit: Successfully obtain a supreme-grade title in Heavenscar!]
Daniel looked at the title he had just earned.
[Ultimate Assassin (Supreme-grade)]
Effect: While this title is equipped, you may deploy Hunting Domain within a 3000 x 3000 area.
[Hunting Domain (Active)]: Reduces all attributes of designated targets, whether single or multiple, by 10%.
[Hunting Domain (Passive)]: For every 20% HP lost, your Attack Power increases by 20%.
Description: A god of slaughter who walks among mountains of corpses and seas of blood—an existence feared by all enemies.
After reading it, the smile on Daniel’s face grew even brighter.
As expected of a supreme-grade title.
Its effects were overpowered and tyrannical.
He immediately equipped it.
[Ding! You have equipped the title "Ultimate Assassin"!]
This class change quest required him to complete three stages of objectives.
Starlit was already done. What remained now was to obtain the achievement "Supreme-grade Heavenly Wrath" and to reach the summit of Cloudcrest Peak!
...
Daniel then began sorting through the spoils from this trip.
There were indeed quite a few Divine-grade treasures, but unfortunately, every single one of them was sealed.
He casually took one out.
[Endless Star Chart (Divine-grade · Sealed)]
Use: Records the locations of the major star realms and star regions within the Endless Starfield, and marks the territories and strongholds of the various factions scattered across the cosmos.
Status: Sealed.
After reading it, Daniel suddenly felt enlightened.
This was a map of the starry universe!
Not only did it include star realms and star regions, it even clearly marked the various factions spread throughout the Endless Starfield.
It was also the first time he had realized just how vast the structure of this world truly was.
"Star realms... star regions..."
He could not help but sigh in wonder.
In all his past lives, every player had been too busy resisting one catastrophe after another. None of them had ever had the chance to step beyond Earth.
But now, he stood at the very peak of the player base and at the forefront of the game itself.
Perhaps one day, he really would leave this planet and witness that far more distant sea of stars for himself.
He lowered his gaze to the Star Chart in his hand. If he ever intended to venture into the Endless Starfield in the future, this map would be the foundation of everything.
Unfortunately, it was still sealed for the time being.
He tapped open the seal information, and a line of annotation appeared.
[Sealed]: This item has been locked by a mysterious power. To unseal it, one must use a special item or possess strength at the peak of the supreme-grade realm.
A flicker passed through Daniel’s eyes.
He stored the Star Chart in his inventory and did not bother inspecting the other Divine-grade items any further.
Since they were all sealed anyway, none of them would be of immediate use.
Still, as long as he could obtain a special item for unsealing, or enlist the help of a peak supreme-grade powerhouse, breaking those seals would not be difficult.
Then he suddenly recalled the final reward for this class change quest—the Version Unlock Scroll!
In other words, once he completed this quest, a new game version would open.
By then, the shackles limiting the world’s strength level would be broken, and supreme-grade experts would finally appear in the world.
When that time came, dealing with these sealed treasures would be easy!
He then glanced over the rest of the loot.
There were very few Divine-grade items, and not many supreme-grade ones either. Most were just equipment or universal cosmic currency, with only a handful that were truly useful.
There were, however, mountains of legendary-grade items...
All kinds of building blueprints, tools, treasures, and companion eggs were included, though most of them were beneath his notice.
As for items below legendary-grade, they made up more than ninety percent of the total.
He gave them only a rough glance before losing interest. He planned to toss them into the chain stores, guild storage, or legion warehouse after he returned, and let the players of World Zone 616 and the Polaris Region purchase whatever they wanted.
...
Heavenscar, Empyrean Kingdom faction.
At that moment, countless powerhouses felt an inexplicable jolt in their hearts.
Almost at the same instant, they all turned to look in the direction of the Holy Kingdom Imperial City, where a terrifying surge of destructive power had briefly erupted moments earlier.
The intensity of that force was absolutely no weaker than the full-force strike of a high legendary-grade expert.
If that had been all, it would not have been too shocking.
What Otherworldly Prodigy did not have a few trump cards hidden away?
Without methods that surpassed their peers, how could they suppress an entire generation, or even stand proudly at the summit of the myriad worlds?
What truly stunned everyone was where the incident had taken place.
That was the very core of the Holy Kingdom—the most heavily guarded forbidden ground of all.
Who would dare run wild there?
Any strong expert from the Empyrean Faction would be detected the moment they approached the palace.
And within the palace itself, not only were there numerous Transcendent legendary-grade powerhouses stationed there, but layers upon layers of forbidden magical arrays had also been laid down. Even supreme-grade experts would not dare act recklessly there.
Unless the one who made the move was an Otherworldly Prodigy of the Holy Faction.
Because members of the same faction naturally would not be guarded against too heavily.
But when they thought about it again, all the experts felt that something was wrong.
Why would a prodigy of the Holy Faction destroy their own base camp?
That made no sense at all!
Shouldn’t the normal script have been this: gain the Holy Kingdom king’s favor, receive an official title, and then lead troops to crusade against the Empyrean Faction?
The Otherworldly Prodigies racked their brains and still could not make sense of it.
Right then, a sudden announcement exploded across Heavenscar.
[Heavenscar Announcement: Human "Faustus" has bathed the Holy Kingdom palace in blood and assassinated the King of the Holy Kingdom! The King of the Holy Kingdom has issued a royal decree declaring the human Faustus the eternal enemy of the Holy Kingdom. All people under heaven may kill him!]
[Heavenscar Announcement: The human "Faustus" has displayed monstrous ferocity and obtained the title "Ultimate Assassin (Supreme-grade)"!]
Boom—!
All of the Otherworldly Prodigies in the Empyrean Faction were left dumbfounded.
What kind of joke was this?!
There really was an Otherworldly Prodigy who dared make a move inside the Holy Kingdom palace?
Not only had he attacked, he had even destroyed the palace and assassinated the king... Was this man insane?
"Faustus? Isn’t that the human guy at the very bottom of the Fortune Points rankings?"
Some prodigies of the non-human races, who often kept track of changes on the rankings, immediately recalled Daniel’s name.
At first, they had assumed he was just some cannon-fodder nobody.
So what if he was a human prodigy?
In front of the prodigies of truly great worlds and powerful races, these so-called geniuses from backwater places were worth nothing at all.
At best, they were only somewhat stronger than ordinary people in talent and Fortune Points.
But this Faustus seemed... different.
Was he really this ferocious?
He had only just entered Heavenscar, yet he was already stirring up chaos—and not just ordinary chaos, but a disaster big enough to tear the sky open. Slaughtering the palace, assassinating the king... He was completely deranged!
"Faustus... Could he be a spy planted by our Empyrean Faction?"
Some of the Empyrean Faction’s prodigies were utterly bewildered.
And the prodigies of the Holy Faction were even more confused.
"What the hell is going on? Who is this Faustus?"
"The palace has been destroyed—doesn’t that mean our nest has basically been uprooted? How is the Holy Faction supposed to keep playing now?"
"Damn it! Faustus, just let me run into you—I’ll kill you for sure. Wait... which faction is he from?"
"He should be from the Empyrean Faction, right? Otherwise why would he target the Holy Kingdom?"
"Or maybe he’s from the Holy Faction. Otherwise, how could he have even entered the palace?"
"Hiss—Is there something wrong with his brain? If he’s from the Holy Faction, why would he assassinate his own king? What kind of twisted mind does that take?"
...
