I have an Apocalypse City C.511 - 510: Signing the Contract

Chapter 511: Chapter 510: Signing the Contract

What is it that makes players fear this game? Isn’t it that dying in the game means losing one’s life in the real world?

It is important to note that the danger level in this game is a thousand times, even ten thousand times higher than in the real world. Pick any dungeon or monster encountered on the road, and there is a possibility of losing one’s life.

Thus, after seeing so many people die, players in this game have become more cautious, willing to be conservative, missing out on some opportunities, but also ensuring their lives are safe.

“Are you saying you possess a resurrection skill?” Song Jian asked in surprise.

It is normal for a priest to possess the Resurrection Skill, but in this game, Song Jian has never heard of any priest who possesses it.

Qi Yun laughed and took out a dazzling crystal ball and displayed it to Song Jian.

“Skill Crystal – Rebirth in Fire, special player skill. Skill Description: When a player with this skill has zero Vitality Points, they will be reborn in a nearby place with fire. After being reborn, the player becomes weakened, attributes decrease by 80% for one hour; Skill cooldown time: 24 hours; Usage requirements: Player.”

“It really is a resurrection skill…” Song Jian’s eyes gleamed, and for a moment, his thoughts raced as he looked at Qi Yun with a malicious gaze.

The good feelings between Song Jian and the Shadow Circus Troupe have already risen to admiration. If he kills Qi Yun now, the good feelings with the Shadow Circus Troupe will undoubtedly be affected;

However, in front of the “Rebirth in Fire” skill, Song Jian did not care about any loss of goodwill with the Shadow Circus Troupe or even the entire territory of Doomsday City.

“Kill him, kill him and get this Skill Crystal…” Evil thoughts arose in Song Jian’s heart as sweat appeared on his forehead, and unconsciously, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword materialized in his palm.

In Song Jian’s ear, barely audible moans were heard, as if someone was whispering in his ear, reciting something in the language of the Abyss.

A hint of black aura appeared in Song Jian’s brows;

At that moment, a cooling flow rushed through Song Jian’s head, waking him instantly;

“What…what happened to me?” Song Jian looked at the faint black aura that emerged around his body and could not help but feel a chill.

“Abyssal aura, I didn’t expect you to have it too… haha~” Qi Yun seemed to see something interesting, looking at Song Jian up and down and laughing.

“When you stare into the Abyss, the Abyss stares back at you…” Qi Yun suddenly said.

“Huh~” Song Jian took a deep breath, just now he really wanted to kill Qi Yun, even resorting to killing and looting here, he had to obtain that skill.

Noticing Song Jian’s intentions, Qi Yun played with the crystal ball in his hand, “This kind of Skill Crystal will be lost once it shatters, and this crystal is very fragile, even the slightest force could break it.”

“What will it take for you to give me this skill?” Song Jian asked with a stern face.

His previous performance was too obvious, and Song Jian no longer had a chance to negotiate. No matter how harsh the conditions Qi Yun proposed, Song Jian could only grit his teeth and accept them. Even if it meant Slaughtering the entire Shadow Circus Troupe, gambling with the entire territory’s resources, Song Jian would most likely agree.

Resurrection and rebirth skills are simply too valuable for players.

“Don’t worry, the task I have for you is definitely within your capabilities…” Qi Yun smiled, now in control of the situation.

“No matter what you ask me to do, I need to get this skill first…” Song Jian insisted, cutting off Qi Yun as he began to speak, “These are the prerequisite conditions, or else we have no need to continue talking.”

Song Jian had made up his mind, once negotiations broke down, he would use any means necessary – steal or rob – to obtain this Skill Crystal even if it cost him everyone in the Shadow Circus Troupe.

Seemingly noticing Song Jian’s determination, Qi Yun hesitated for a moment and slowly put away the crystal ball.

“Tell me, what do you need me to do…” Song Jian asked, “Help you get the Shadow Crystal? No problem.”

Qi Yun glanced at Song Jian and slowly shook his head, “This Shadow Crystal within the Circus Troupe seems to have a problem; my target is no longer it.”

“What do you need then?” Song Jian frowned.

“You know my profession…” Qi Yun looked at Song Jian, sighed, and said, “To advance, I need a large number of Shadow Crystals. Since this Shadow Crystal can’t meet my requirements, then I need to find another one.”

“You want me to find another complete, problem-free Shadow Crystal for you?” Song Jian asked in surprise.

“No, I need you to escort me to the Dark Castle in the Shadowfang Mountain Range and lure out the Shadow Giant Dragon for half an hour…” Qi Yun said.

“What, you actually…” Song Jian’s face was full of astonishment, he couldn’t believe Qi Yun’s audacity in targeting the Shadow Giant Dragon.

“It’s a fully-grown Giant Dragon, I wouldn’t stand a chance, let alone half an hour, I’d probably be killed in an instant…” Song Jian shook his head.

Compared to fighting a Giant Dragon for half an hour, killing Qi Yun seemed much easier.

“Don’t worry, how could I give you a task you can’t complete?” Qi Yun looked at Song Jian and quickly said, “It is said that the Shadow Giant Dragon took a serious irreparable injury during its maturity period. Its strength has significantly weakened; otherwise, it wouldn’t be alone in the Shadowfang Mountain Range. With your strength, holding it off for half an hour is not an issue, and killing it may even be possible.”

“Kill it?” Song Jian was astonished, then he suddenly realized that the Dark Castle in the Shadowfang Mountain Range was only a level 30 dungeon after all. If he leveled up to 30 and gained the combat power of a first-order, then it might be possible for him to clear the dungeon.

“It seems that the injured Shadow Giant Dragon should be the final boss of the Dark Castle dungeon…” Song Jian guessed.

“Alright, if it’s really like you said, then I’ll have no problem holding off that Shadow Giant Dragon. But I still need to get this Skill Crystal first…” Song Jian stared at Qi Yun.

After pondering for a moment, Qi Yun said, “If you can sign a Spirit of Authentication contract with me, then I can give you this skill first.”

In fact, Qi Yun didn’t expect Song Jian to care so much about this skill. He didn’t dare to keep it for himself any longer; perhaps Song Jian would agree now and then turn around and assassinate him to snatch the skill back.

Qi Yun’s strength was too weak, and this Skill Crystal was like a hot potato that he desperately wanted to discard.

“Agreed!” Song Jian nodded without hesitation and quickly said.
