Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 851 - 404: Star Favored, The Ancient Saint Beryl Dragon_2

Chapter 851: Chapter 404: Star Favored, The Ancient Saint Beryl Dragon_2

[Led by a servant, you passed through the banquet hall and corridor and, after several rounds of guarding checks, finally arrived at the door deep within the mansion.]

[Upon opening the door, you immediately saw the vast starry sky painting that occupied the entire wall, a resplendent and magnificent seascape of stars. Under the illumination of that endless galaxy, you had never felt so insignificant.]

[Below the starry sky painting was a desk, at which the ’Star Favored’ who had assigned you your mission was sitting; it was the person in charge of this temporary stronghold.]

[You shut the door and looked toward the ’Up-Looking Polar Star Association Star Favored.’ It wore a simple robe and at a glance, looked no different from an ordinary person, if not for a pair of strange eyes that revealed a deep blue hue, like the sea.]

[It was your first time seeing the appearance of the ’Up-Looking Polar Star Association Star Favored,’ your knowledge increased by 5000! Current knowledge: 32800/37800]

[You stepped forward to report to the ’Star Favored’ about the mission, claiming that you had rescued the ’Star Priest’ from ’Blackwater Prison.’]

[On your way back, you interrogated the ’Star Priest,’ but it had already become insane from the torment of the illusion traps in the ’Time Prison.’ You had no choice but to follow the mission instructions and silence it...]

[Before you could finish speaking, the ’Star Favored’ nodded, indicating that there was no need for further words, you had completed your mission.]

[It would keep its promise, granting you access to the organization’s core, as previously agreed.] 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

[The ’Star Favored’ took a silver badge out of its pocket and tossed it to you.]

[You received the ’Teleportation Badge’ (special item)!]

[’Teleportation Badge’ (special item): A silver badge adorned with numerous stars, it has the unique ability to teleport. When used in a designated area, you can teleport to a certain location.]

[The ’Star Favored’ told you that you had been a part of the ’Polar Star Association’ for quite some time, accumulating considerable merit, and it was time to officially enter the organization’s core.]

[It pointed to the vast starry sky painting behind it, and explained that such a beautiful piece of art was not just for decoration, but also an anchor point for entering the organization’s core.]

[The ’Star Favored’ gave you a meaningful smile, signaling for you to hold the badge and touch the painting, and then you would enter the place of your dreams.]

[Will you do as told?]

For some reason, Lin Xun suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

Teleportation... Could it be another trap like being sent to the ’Cage of Impounding Stars,’ a place of certain doom?

Could the ’Star Favored’ have seen through his disguise, or did it simply want to kill him to cover up after the mission?

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, didn’t press any options, and switched Shells directly!

[You have taken possession of the Shell of the ’Son of the Initial Fire of Desire’!]

[Without a word, you swung the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ forcefully at your enemy!]

[The ’Star Favored’s’ complexion changed drastically as it hastily raised its hand, and a shiny ’Twilight of the Stars’ shielded it firmly.]

[Just as it was about to cry out, it saw the bloody greatsword shattering the starlight defense, and in a blink of an eye, it slashed across its neck...]

[The ’Star Favored’ clutched its throat with one hand and pointed ominously at you with the other, horrified, as it collapsed to the ground...]

[You defeated the ’Up-Looking Polar Star Association Star Favored,’ and your experience increased slightly.]

[You have acquired ’Pure Small Piece of Spirituality’ x1]

[You looked toward the body fallen dead on the ground...]

[The Shell of the ’Up-Looking Polar Star Association Star Favored’: An elite member in charge of the Polar Star Association’s temporary stronghold, it had intended to recommend an old subordinate to join the organization’s core, never expecting the subordinate’s excessive paranoia to misinterpret its actions as a concealed assassination, dying extremely unjustly. Compatibility: 126% (+65%)]

[Will you take possession of this shell?]

Lin Xun: "..."

"This Underworld Game has got me suffering from paranoia."

He didn’t know what expression to make and could only silently take possession of the Shell.

The ’Star Favored’s’ Shell was of not bad quality; a Legendary Grade Shell had reached Legend+ level with the compatibility bonus.

The Shell also had a fair number of skills, including the ’Twilight of the Stars’ magical shield skill, which was also at a Legendary Grade; unfortunately, it was still no match for the ’Son of Evil’s’ draconic sword.

[...]

[Will you hold the ’Teleportation Badge’ and touch the starry sky painting nearby?]

Lin Xun pondered for a moment; since the ’Star Favored’ bore him no ill will, the place of teleportation probably wouldn’t be too dangerous.

As long as he was in the ’Star Favored’s’ Shell, he would likely be able to infiltrate the Polar Star Association branch.

At that moment, the game text continued to flash.

[A rapid knocking came from outside the door, and the servant’s voice arose, seemingly having heard the noise from the fight and coming to inquire.]

[After learning that you were unharmed, it continued to report that Viscount Dexter’s auction would soon begin, and under your command, several ’Star Priests’ had already escorted the goods to the warehouse within the manor, with everything going smoothly and without incident on the way.]

[If there was nothing else, it would withdraw.]

Lin Xun’s eyes lit up.

Infiltrating the Polar Star Association could wait; wasn’t this an opportunity to freeload that had come knocking at his door?

[You flung open the door and told the respectfully waiting servant that you were still somewhat concerned, asking to be led to the warehouse to inspect the goods, needing to confirm if there was any damage to the cargo.]

[The servant gave you a puzzled look but obediently led the way in front of you...]

[Led by the servant, you quickly arrived at the first floor underground of the mansion, passing through an auction hall full of empty seats, and went to the backstage warehouse...]

[You saw that the massive warehouse was filled with countless iron cages, and numerous beautiful girls chained and shackled were imprisoned therein.]
