“The skill you see here is the last remaining foundation of Shan Lan Star. It is of no use for me to keep it any longer,” the Fourth Prince said slowly, sitting high above.
“When my father obtained this ability, the war was already nearing its end, and defeat was certain. Therefore, my father didn't use this ability, but instead had me bring it to the treasure land.”
“This ability is very powerful. I hope you can use it to fight for a glimmer of hope for yourself or for all of you during the apocalypse!”
Wen Yu carefully pondered the Fourth Prince's words and after a moment asked, “So, what exactly is the so-called race foundation level?”
“It’s above sss rank, the highest level. In fact, you already possess an item of this level.”
After the Fourth Prince finished speaking, Wen Yu suddenly understood.
“You mean this, and this, right?” Wen Yu first took out the Fragment of the Book of Darkness, then pointed to the Touch of Greed on his hand.
The Fourth Prince shook his head. “The complete Book of Darkness belongs to the foundation level, but the Touch of Greed does not.”
“The reason the Touch of Greed cannot be evaluated for its level is simply due to its growth potential.”
“There are a total of nine levels, from f-level to sss rank. However, the growth of the Touch of Greed has an upper limit; this weapon cannot reach the foundation level. The highest it can achieve is sss rank.”
“I see,” Wen Yu nodded at the Fourth Prince.
“There’s one last question!” Wen Yu hesitated for a moment before asking, “What happens if we fail the mission?”
The Fourth Prince nodded gently. “If the mission fails, all demonic creatures will attack you together, rather than appearing in waves as they usually do. If, under such circumstances, you are lucky enough not to die, I will arrange a place for you. A peaceful place, where there is no slaughter or disputes!”
“There will be food and drink, until you grow old and die...”
Wen Yu nodded slightly.
“And also, considering your outstanding performance in this treasure land, your ranking will not change.”
The Fourth Prince's statement was merely a formality.
This was not unexpected for Wen Yu.
“Now, you may leave.”
As the Fourth Prince’s words fell, a flash of light transported Wen Yu, and a wave of dizziness hit him.
When Wen Yu opened his eyes again, he found himself at the entrance of the hospital in Ch Town.
In front of him stood Sun Ruixing and Sun Aotian.
“Are you out?”
Sun Ruixing stepped forward upon seeing Wen Yu's figure.
Wen Yu nodded at Sun Ruixing and turned to glance at Sun Aotian, who stood with a conflicted expression.
Wen Yu's gaze was cold and indifferent.
It was exactly this kind of look that made Sun Aotian feel uneasy.
After a moment, Sun Aotian forced a smile and said, “Brother Wen Yu, I’m sorry about what happened in the treasure land.”
Upon hearing Sun Aotian's words, the coldness in Wen Yu's eyes vanished instantly, and he replied with a hint of warmth, “It was also my fault, my mood was not great just now. I hope my actions did not hurt you. And I hope my behavior won’t affect our relationship, after all, Aotian, we have fought side by side, and I do have some feelings for you. You don’t mind what happened just now, do you?”
After Wen Yu finished speaking, he immediately moved forward to wrap an arm around Sun Aotian's shoulder, looking earnestly at him.
Little Sun, well, how should I put it, regardless of what he thought in his heart right now, he could only show one expression!
Hearing Wen Yu’s soft words, the heavy stone in Sun Aotian’s heart was instantly lifted, and he happily replied, “Brother Wen Yu, it’s not intentional on my part. I was just scared! If you can forgive me, I would be overjoyed, how could I blame Brother Wen Yu...”
As if he had found a pillar of support, Sun Aotian quickly regained his optimistic mindset, chattering away nonstop.
Seeing the scene of Wen Yu and Sun Aotian appearing to be good brothers, only Sun Ruixing behind them silently sighed.
