Chapter 104 -106: The Divine Weapon – ‘The Leader’s Face’!_1
The Librarian provided three types of bookmarks: Invasion Bookmarks, Guardian Bookmarks, and Revenge Bookmarks, each type having only a stock of two.
Strangely, Lin Xun didn’t see any price tags on these bookmarks.
[The Librarian tells you that Apostles need a healthy competition to bring out their greater potential. Therefore, he provides the three types of bookmarks for free use by the Apostles.]
[However, excessive rivalry can turn competition into a destructive force; hence, the bookmarks provided have a quantity limit.]
[Of course, if you feel the competition is not intense enough, you may choose to pay a small price for additional bookmarks…]
The bookmarks provided by the Librarian can’t be traded in the Book of Trade, and can only be exchanged in person, offline.
Each type of bookmark only has a stock of two. After being taken, if one still wants these bookmarks, they have to manually replenish the stock with spiritual energy.
If one doesn’t want to spend any money, the supply of bookmarks will be automatically refreshed after passing a chapter.
Seeing that he could get these for free, Lin Xun wasted no time in bagging all three types of bookmarks.
Once the inventory was cleared out, all three types of bookmarks displayed an option to replenish. He clicked to resupply the Invasion Bookmark.
[Do you want to spend 100 points of spiritual energy to replenish the ‘Invasion Bookmark’?]
The Invasion Bookmark, that can be used to open the rewards of the covenant pledge, should be in abundance.
After spending 100 points of spiritual energy, he receives two more Invasion Bookmarks.
Continuing with restocking.
[Do you want to spend 1000 points of spiritual energy to replenish the ‘Invasion Bookmark’?]
???
Lin Xun slowly typed out three question marks.
The first restock cost is one hundred, the second increases directly to one thousand. Wouldn’t the third rise to ten thousand?
Is this Librarian, who seems kind on the surface but actually a profiteer in disguise?
He tried to restock the other two types of bookmarks, but found that the restocking costs of the three types of bookmarks were shared. Regardless of what kind of bookmark he wanted, he needed to pay a thousand points of spiritual energy.
After hesitating a while, he chose not to restock.
He opened the inventory and clicked on an item that had been gathering dust for a long time.
[Librarian’s Monocle (Rare item): The Librarian has countless points, present in all chapters of the Book of Redemption. This monocle is one of the many that the Librarian owns. It is precious, even as a mass-produced item. After completing a chapter, return to the Library, hand over the monocle to the Librarian, and he will give you a generous reward.]
[Do you want to give this item to the ‘Librarian’?]
[The ‘Librarian’ looks somewhat surprised as he takes the monocle from you. He looks you up and down, seemingly not expecting you to possess such an item.]
[The ‘Librarian’ tells you that as a reward for this item, he will give you a slight increase in your invasion authority.]
[He murmurs a spell, a red invasion light flickers on you…]
[Your invasion authority has been slightly increased!]
[When you invade others or are invaded, and you defeat an Apostle, you are guaranteed to get an item from that Apostle.]
Lin Xun is overjoyed.
At this stage, senior Apostles understand the method to retain their spiritual energy.
Random invasion using bookmarks usually yields little rewards.
With the increased invasion authority, not only can you kill but also loot, an absolute favorite of red-name players.
[The Librarian tells you that in the subsequent game chapters, Apostles with unique talents may have a small chance of encountering his avatars. If you can complete the tasks assigned by the avatar, you can further increase your invasion authority.]
Lin Xun has altogether collected four ‘Invasion Bookmarks’, still having one left in his pocket, soaring up his invasion times to a total of five.
It was more than enough to unlock his exclusive item ‘The Leader’s Face’.
He comes forward to click on the ‘Book of Competition’.
[You touch the ‘Book of Competition’, resonating with a weak Wandering Soul.]
[You can now use the competitive feature of the ‘Book of Competition’.]
[Do you choose to invade directly or choose public matches?]
Public matches require both Apostles to be in the Library, agreeing to a PK duel before it can be live-streamed; it is not applicable to covenant faction invasions.
[You consumed an ‘Invasion Bookmark’. Please choose your invasion method.]
Apart from random invasion and specific invasions, there is now the option of covenant invasions.
Enemy Apostles for covenant invasions are unlikely to be new players from the initial chapters because there’s no opportunity to join a covenant in those chapters. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
According to the number of times one passes a chapter, it is very likely for him to be matched with a level one Apostle, and the probability of encountering a level two Apostle is quite slim.
Lin Xun hesitated for a moment, switched back to the Earth Giant Shell and put on the newly forged ‘Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’.
Even when hunting a rabbit, the lion uses all its might!
[You’ve chosen ‘Covenant Invasion’; matching you with an Apostle from the enemy faction…]
[Invasion in progress…]
[Invasion successful!]
[You’ve invaded an unknown Apostle’s chapter.]
…
The bedroom was pitch-dark in the late night.
Huddled underneath his blankets, Xu Zhi’s face was lit up by the screen of his phone.
[Three ‘Corrupted Militiamen’ surround you and ruthlessly butcher you into pieces…]
[You’re dead!]
“Shit! Even though I’ve joined the ‘Profane Blood Sun’ covenant, why are these creeps still attacking me?”
“And this Chapter 321 is simply fucked up! In other level-one chapters, even if I can’t defeat the boss, I can still handle the standard elite monsters.”
“So why can’t I even beat three small monsters in this goddamn chapter?!”
