In the Eternal Kingdom, within each great empire, countless missions are buried.
By carrying out these missions, not only can one obtain regular rewards, but also gain favorability with the empire, thereby promoting one's official rank.
From [Slave] to [Commoner], it requires 100 points of favorability.
And within the empire, missions are also divided by difficulty and rank. Worth mentioning is: the difficulty of missions can be freely chosen by the profession holders.
The difficulty levels are divided into nine ranks. The higher the rank, the greater the difficulty, the higher the rewards. At the same time, once a mission fails, the punishment the profession holder receives is also greater.
A ninth-level mission, if completed, is worth 1000 favorability points. But if it fails, it brings a punishment of -2000 favorability.
Therefore, even if throughout the empire, ninth-level missions can be picked up casually from even an old man guarding the outhouse, many profession holders without enough strength don't dare touch them at all.
The most popular ones are naturally the fourth, fifth, and sixth-level missions.
Within the empire, there is no limit to the number of missions one can accept.
Zhang Yue circled the entire Light Nation once, and in one go, accepted a huge pile of missions.
Without exception, all ninth-level difficulty.
At this moment, Chen Zijin rushed over from behind and joined up with Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue: "Finished picking missions?"
Chen Zijin: "Finished."
Zhang Yue: "How many, what rank?"
Chen Zijin: "95, all eighth-level."
Speaking to here, Chen Zijin couldn't help but feel depressed, "I just don't get it. Isn't ninth-level supposed to be the highest? Why is it that all I got were eighth-level missions? I circled around half the day, but didn't see a single ninth-level mission?"
"Did it bug out?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?", Chen Zijin stared suspiciously at Zhang Yue, "What rank are your missions?"
"Ah, about the same as you, all seventh and eighth-level."
Chen Zijin half-believed, half-doubted, "Really?"
"Right, I'll give you something else," Zhang Yue tried to change the subject.
Chen Zijin looked a little pleasantly surprised, "Aiya, you keep giving me this and that, I'm starting to feel embarrassed!"
"What is it?"
Zhang Yue looked at Chen Zijin's face full of curiosity + anticipation + joy, and said in a deep voice, "Dare to play something big?"
Hearing this, Chen Zijin inexplicably felt a bit nervous.
"What big?"
Zhang Yue summoned the Apex Predator on the spot and stripped off the [Wrath God Set] it was wearing.
Along with that, he also pulled out the 5S-ranked forbidden spell skill book [Thunder's Wrath], and handed both together in front of Chen Zijin, "Combine them with the Wrath Source Stone, unleash their potential to the fullest, and see the ultimate effect."
Facing the priceless infinite-growth set + forbidden spell skill in Zhang Yue's hands, Chen Zijin's already big eyes widened even more.
"No way, Zhang Yue, you're really giving all this to me?"
"Or else?"
Zhang Yue had a completely calm expression, as if what he was giving away weren't mythic treasures, forbidden spells, and infinite-growth equipment that each alone were priceless beyond measure and impossible to buy no matter the money, but just a pile of scrap iron.
A little surprised and touched, Chen Zijin also asked suspiciously, "Don't you feel reluctant?"
"Compared to sitting here as decorations, they're more suited to someone who can actually bring out their value."
Chen Zijin nodded, "Alright, I'll try!"
Saying so, Chen Zijin took [Thunder's Wrath] and immediately used it.
["Ding~ Congratulations, you have mastered the SSSSS-ranked forbidden spell skill [Thunder's Wrath]!"]
In that instant, arcs of flowing lightning flickered across Chen Zijin's body.
With the lightning as backdrop, her aura instantly rose.
At the same time, she put on the Wrath God Set.
While wearing the Wrath God Set, as long as she launched attacks, she could gain experience points, thereby leveling up the Wrath God Set.
Using this feature—
Last night, while advancing from the Thirty-Fourth World to the Forty-First World, the Apex Predator had already acted as a tool, raising the Wrath God Set from its initial 1-star up to 12-stars!
Although the effect was still a bit weak, it could continue to grow. When the star level went up later, the cost-effectiveness of the Wrath God Set would be immeasurable!
Thinking about how Zhang Yue had given her all the best things, Chen Zijin was moved to tears.
"Since childhood, aside from Grandma, no one has ever treated me this well."
"Zhang Yue, this life, I'm set on you!"
Seeing herself speak such touching words, Zhang Yue didn't even respond at all.
Chen Zijin raised her head, just in time to see Zhang Yue staring blankly at a chat window in front of him.
"Zhang Yue, who are you chatting with so intently?"
Zhang Yue came back to his senses, quickly closed the chat, "No one… no time to waste, let's go do the missions."
"Also, try out the final power of Wrath Source Stone + Thunder's Wrath + Wrath God Set together."
"Okay!", Chen Zijin seemed very excited too, and turned to head out of the Light Nation.
Behind her, Zhang Yue quietly opened the Feixin chat window again, sending a message to Liyue, ["Send me more aggressive words, the more aggressive the better, I need them right now."]
———
On the other end, Liyue looked at the message from Zhang Yue, completely puzzled.
Beside her, Ouyang Ling'er sighed, "Well, the president is going further and further down the road of courting death…"
"Although honestly… I really feel it's a pity for Chen Zijin. She deserved to be loved, but instead, she's going to be completely scarred by this big straight man of a president, sigh…"
"As expected, when God opens a door for you, He will definitely close a window!"
At this moment, Liyue suddenly seemed enlightened and said, "You don't understand. Hitting is affection, scolding is love. No hitting, no scolding, no love. This is just the president and Sister Zijin's special way of flirting."
"Oh, now you understand again."

[On the Other Side]
[World 42, Eternal Kingdom]
Outside the Light Nation.
[Level 230 Wild Zone, Despair Mountains]
Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin arrived at the mission site.
As expected, some of their missions shared the same location.
Because within the empire, although mission ranks are divided into three grades and nine levels, basically missions of the same type but different difficulty often shared the same location.
The difficulty rank only distinguished the mission time limit and the number of monsters that needed to be killed.
For example, the [Bandit Extermination] mission they were carrying out. This single mission could be divided into levels one through nine.
Level one Bandit Extermination: required killing 100 bandits within 24 hours.
Level two Bandit Extermination: required killing 200 bandits within 20 hours.
Zhang Yue's ninth-level Bandit Extermination: required killing 3000 bandits within 1 hour.
And Chen Zijin's eighth-level Bandit Extermination: required killing 2000 bandits within 1 hour.
With the same targets, the two of them stepped into the mountains.
At that time, the bandits drinking and eating meat on the mountain still had no idea they were about to face a massacre.
