Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1310: Evaluation

Gu Qing Shan returned to the Hitman Guild.

Every staff member was looking at him in awe.

Information always traveled fast in Void City.

When other people wanted to use the Hitman Guild as a stepping stone, he managed to put his sword against the other party’s neck, ensuring that they couldn’t move.

Being able to do this much was already a considerable feat.

Not to mention how those people were completely wiped out later on.

Furthermore, this Hitman had a good connection with the Ominous Demon Tower.

He was strong and had connections, so he was well-liked.

How could one not look at him in awe?

Gu Qing Shan scanned through the main lobby but didn’t see Qin anywhere.

Most likely, her shift was over so she had returned to rest.

Gu Qing Shan returned to the dorms and entered his personal accommodation.

A beautiful ocean.

Warm sunlight.

Blue sky.

Small island.

This was his own personal resting area.

Gu Qing Shan went through the door, stepped on the fine grains of sand on the beach, and closed the door behind himself.

He casually strolled along the beach.

The gentle sea breeze managed to somewhat ease his mind.

Gu Qing Shan reorganized everything that had happened so far and began to re-examine himself.

Having reached Sumeru Lord realm, not even the War God UI could help him too much with breaking through to the next cultivation realm.

Star River Saint was a completely different realm compared to all others before it, highly unique in the sense that it required an accumulative process.

This process was unusual and couldn’t be completed all at once.

After some estimation, Gu Qing Shan found that if he wanted to break through, he would have to wait at least until his Dantian’s capability of compressing spirit energy reached a higher degree.

This required a plain and simple slow grind, temporarily unachievable.

So he threw this issue to the back of his mind and took out an ID card.

This was an Unsolvable rank ID card, which he could use to study a lot of information.

Lightly pressing a part of the card, a screen was displayed in front of Gu Qing Shan.

After testing it out a bit, Gu Qing Shan understood what he needed to do.

He didn’t bother with top-secret information that required accumulated points to access, and instead was looking up common knowledge.

—–for example, what is an ominous demon?

The screen displayed the corresponding information:

[There are no concrete answers even now. It is unknown why certain mundane individuals among various species would undergo this form of demonizing; but research has found that during this process, there is a chance to draw the attention from the Laws of Reality, thus advancing a regular demonized individual to a super-evolved demonized individual. These are ominous demons]

——Who holds the authority of Void City in their hands?

The screen explained: [When Void City was formed, countless Combatants of the void all wanted to become the lord of this city. After 100 years of sparring and competition, the strongest individual was found, everyone trusts in his strength, thus earning him the right to rule this city]

[The City Lord’s name cannot be spoken or even thought of, lest it would disturb him]

[Aside from the City Lord himself, the head of each organization in Void City has their own seat in the city’s council of power]

[Every organization falls under the City Lord’s authority, jointly deciding the future and heading of Void City]

—–What is an ‘extremely large-scaled interworld mission’?

[Whenever an Apocalypse that’s especially destructive manifests and several crucial worlds send out distress calls, the organizations of Void City would band together to issue an extremely large-scaled interworld mission, pooling their power to fight against the Apocalypse and save each world]

[For example, trade-focused organizations would provide supplies and resources, becoming the solid foundation for the war of each world. Combative organizations would issue large-scale joint combat missions]

[If the distressed worlds are successfully rescued, all rescued worlds would provide generous feedback to reward Void City’s efforts]

[Please note the following: Large-scaled interworld missions usually last a very long time. Ranging anywhere from just a bit over 10 days to several months at a time, only ending when the allied forces successfully push back the Apocalypse or thoroughly fail]

Gu Qing Shan understood what this meant.

Void City was a gathering of countless void monsters and species of the void.

It naturally had the ability to aid the worlds undergoing apocalyptic invasions, as well as the responsibility to do so.

Because the more worlds were destroyed, the total amount of world origin of the space vortex would reduce, and Laws of Reality would weaken.

During this process, Apocalypses would also grow stronger.

No one was willing to see that happen.

This was also the reason why Gu Qing Shan had to sign a contract to not arbitrarily destroy any worlds as soon as he reached the Unsolvable rank.

“Hah, Apocalypses...”

Gu Qing Shan muttered with a complicated expression.

He then opened the list of available Hitman jobs, quickly finding several ‘large-scaled interworld missions’.

However, he couldn’t accept them.

Suddenly, his ID card suddenly started ringing as someone had requested a conversation.

When Gu Qing Shan took a look, it was Crow.

[You up to anything right now?] Crow asked.

“Nothing much, just resting at my quarters” Gu Qing Shan replied.

[Want to get a drink? And some breakfast while we’re at it?] Crow suggested.

Gu Qing Shan rolled his eyes: “We just drank last night and you want to drink again already? Speaking of which, I have something to ask you”

[Go ahead]

“Why can’t I accept any large-scaled interworld missions?”

[Ah, those huh. Large-scale missions to oppose the Apocalypse are usually very strict, you have to pass an evaluation, confirming both your strength and qualifications to accept them]

“How do I get evaluated?”

[Take a look at the list of jobs. Each large-scale mission should have an accompanying evaluation venue; you need to participate in the evaluation and pass it, then you can accept the mission]

[Also, since you’re only at Unsolvable rank right now, it might be a bit tough to get accepted for these missions]

Hearing the other party, Gu Qing Shan turned to the list of large-scale missions and found each of them had a different address listed.

There was a venue at the Starcloud Trade Guild, one at the Saint Splendor Church, as well as one at the Ominous Demon Tower.

——the Ominous Demon Tower!

Even if Unsolvable rank is a bit low, the people of Ominous Demon Tower would surely let me pass.

As Gu Qing Shan wanted to pick this mission, he saw that it suddenly became greyed-out, no longer accepting any participants.

“Crow, why did one of the large-scale interworld missions suddenly turn grey?” Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion.

After a moment of silence, Crow explained: [During the process of these large-scale missions, it should always be accepting participants in order to ensure ample manpower against the Apocalypse. There is only a single situation where it would turn grey]

Gu Qing Shan kind of realized what he was hinting at, hesitantly asking: “You mean...”

Crow: [Indeed, the mission had completely failed, the Apocalypse had destroyed every world and their living beings, sometimes even the participating Combatants——- since there is no hope of victory, it would naturally not accept any further participation]

“What would happen in that situation?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[It would be the turn of the bigshots of each organization and the strongest void monsters to act. It would be great if they were able to suppress it, but if even they can’t do anything, a new void map would need to be created and issued, followed by an announcement to every world to avoid the zones destroyed by that Apocalypse]

For a few moments, both of them stayed silent.

“Crow, I think I want to try accepting a large-scale interworld mission” Gu Qing Shan said.

Some noise sounded from Crow’s side, seemingly he was also operating his job list.

After a bit, he spoke up again: [I suggest you accept the second mission on the 7th page. This one had only just been issued 2 days ago, so it shouldn’t enter a state of intense final combat just yet]

[Furthermore, the evaluation venue is right at our Guild. The evaluating personnel would have to respect us more and less, so your evaluation should be quite simple]

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze and found the mission just as Crow had described.

“Alright, I’ll be getting myself evaluated, see you later” Gu Qing Shan said.

[See you] Crow replied.

They hung up.

Gu Qing Shan silently thought for a few moments.

——-this type of mission could take anywhere from 10 days to a few months.

But Xiao Die is asking me to become a Titled Hitman within one month.

Seems like I don’t have any time to waste.

He swiftly left his room and returned to the Hitman Guild main lobby.

“Hi, I’d like to accept job #337” he told a receptionist staff member.

“Ah, the large-scaled interworld mission, you will need to undergo evaluation, please follow me”

The staff member led him to a certain hallway and pointed at the line of queuing Professionists: “I’ve already helped you with registration, once someone calls out your codename, please come inside, someone will conduct the evaluation”

“Ah, thank you” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He turned his gaze ahead.

The queue was so long that the end could be seen with the naked eyes, everyone here were members of various Void City organizations.

There was a small door at the very end of the queue, with several evaluating personnel waiting to test each person.

Gu Qing Shan waited for a while.

Every 20 minutes, one person would leave the room for the next person to enter.

—–with such a long line, when it is going to be my turn?

Gu Qing Shan returned to the main lobby, found the staff member from before, and whispered: “Is there any way to skip lining up?”

The staff member also whispered in return: “According to the rules, a Titled rank Combatant can directly enter. Aside from that, if you have a unique ability that you’re confident in being able to convince the judges, you can also go straight in—— this rule was made for the sake of saving everyone time”

Gu Qing Shan pondered for a moment.

He switched his equipped Title on [War God Titles] to [Reality’s Most Amorous Man], then swiftly made his way back to the evaluation venue.
