Chapter 48: Graduation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
August 1st, early morning.
With suitcases in their hands and a pile of luggage by their sides, Su Lu and Sean stood below the dormitory block where they had lived for several years, their expressions rather complicated.
“Goodbye…my college!”
With a sigh, Su Lu embraced Sean, “What’s your plan now?”
“I’ve already rented an apartment. I have an interview today. After dropping off my stuff, I need to rush over,” Sean responded, rubbing his somewhat confused face, “Perhaps…we could share the rent, which could effectively reduce our burden.’
“Although I won’t be heading to Green Tree Castle right away… I’ve already found a place to stay.
Su Lu replied somewhat painfully.
He would be staying in that abandoned factory with Rod, and it would save both of them quite a bit of money, besides providing ample training time.
“Is that so? Take care…brother!”
“Take care!”
Dragging his suitcase, Su Lu watched Sean’s retreating figure and sighed softly.
Taking one last look at the campus, he finally left without looking back.
The Twilight of the Gods was over, and a new era was about to begin.
And he would find his unique place in the waves of this new era!
Su Lu silently set a small goal for himself.
Inside the abandoned factory.
“You…you’re hurt?”
Seeing Rod walk in, Su Lu sniffed and caught a strong smell of blood.
“It’s nothing…”
Rod sat down nonchalantly, “Just punished someone and had a fight with the rest… The matter is resolved now. We’ll have a new contact person from the Goddess Church.’
‘So, you mean…you finished them off?’
Su Lu’s mind jolted, but he didn’t probe deeper on whether Rod had killed or just injured the person: “Are you going to take more tasks?”
Having advanced to [Spirit Medium], though he couldn’t say he’d completely mastered his power, any typical transcendent who had no hope of advancement wouldn’t consider taking another job.
In other words, he wouldn’t have to take tasks desperately to exchange for the [Apprentice] job information.
“Of course…why not?”
Rod paused, “Both my [Demon Hunter] and your [Spirit Medium] need to advance and need resources… Since we have to opt for one, why not choose the Goddess Church?”
It seemed this guy, though occasionally stiff-headed, was pretty clear-headed.
Su Lu nodded to himself and suddenly asked, “What are the conditions for the advancement of [Demon Hunter]?”
Rod’s expression changed, he took a deep breath: “Constantly hunting demonized creatures and seizing their transcendent powers! This is one of the prerequisites for advancing to [Demon Hunting Expert]!”
‘So, increasing the concentration of demonic power in his body? The more advanced he is, the more dangerous it becomes? And…No wonder you discreetly hid a lot of stuff after you dealt with those three little demon monsters.’
Su Lu’s face darkened realizing Rod’s question, “What about your [Spirit Medium]?”
“I’m not sure…” Su Lu answered honestly, seeing Rod’s face darken, he quickly added, “but I already have a lead!”
That adventurer and archaeologist named Kira Gales, who was strongly suspected of being a close associate of Catherine’s tutor, is in possession of the advanced profession of [Spirit Medium] – [Mystical Scholar]!
He was a well-known figure, surely with some time and money, it wouldn’t be difficult to track him down.
The advancement for [Spirit Medium] itself was simply about interacting more with spiritual bodies and exorcising evil spirits for people.
If everything else failed, he could direct his experience points towards advancing his skills.
Su Lu thought that his progress on his professional path would surprise Rod. After sharing his speculation about the training of the [Spirit Medium]
After a long while, he finally got up to say, “The weakness of the [Spirit Medium] lies in the body. Now that you’ve moved here, we need to train, a lot of rigorous training!”
‘No, please!’
Su Lu screamed inwardly, yet knowing the benefits, he could only listen expressionlessly.
“Also…” Rod continued, “I’ll be putting out some information in the shop, to take on more supernatural tasks, this can help improve and grow your [Spirit Medium] ability!”
“Wait a second…did I just hear something incredible? A shop?”
Su Lu stared at Rod in surprise.
You are rich enough to own a shop, yet you choose to live in this dilapidated factory?
Doggy, you’ve changed!
“The reward from a recent task…it originally belonged to a craftsman named Galan!”
Rod replied without a care, “I think it can serve as our contact point, this is better than exposing our hideout…and the shop has good business, we just need to hire a salesperson and find a supplier, and it can maintain. This could bring us a profit of two to three golden dragons every month!”
“Sounds good!”
Su Lu nodded, it was unexpected that just one task made them property owners.
Of course, this wasn’t due to lucrative rewards but more of a compensation for Rod. Indeed, the squeaky wheel gets the grease; making noises turns out to be a good thing.
“Indeed, it’s good. The church will solve the supply problem for us, so we only need to hire an employee!”
Rod said cheerfully.
‘A shop, plus a steady profit, the church’s sincerity is quite substantial this time…of course, it’s worth the price they paid for this task!’
Thinking about the dangers from before, Su Lu couldn’t help but shiver, it was really close to annihilation!
He hesitated to ask, “Are all supernatural events as terrifying and dangerous as the last encounter with the evil spirits?”
If that were the case, we might as well hunt demonized creatures for experience, after all, with our attribute list, the effectiveness is similar.
“Not all supernatural events are dangerous…but they are definitely very strange!”
After a pause, Rod answered, “Although compared to the ethereal spiritual bodies, I prefer the corporeal demonized creatures…they are not always consistent either. If a small demon monster has attracted the attention of a demon, it can quickly advance into a more powerful monster, which is even more dangerous than evil spirits! In fact… no transcendent incident is not dangerous, like your Corpse Maiden.”
Su Lu’s face stiffened, can we not mention this?
After advancing to [Spirit Medium], he felt a connection in his soul.
However, it is unfortunate that Beryl seemed to be blocking him from her side.
Otherwise, given this master and servant relationship, as long as the gap isn’t too terrifying, he would be confident about suppressing her face-to-face, thereby creating an opportunity for Rod.
‘For now, it seems that my life is set for the month, I’ll rough it out in Nia City first, while looking for Kira Gales and Beryl’s whereabouts. Once I get news from either side, I need to rush over immediately!’
Su Lu made a secret plan..
