Chapter 83 -85: The Complete Heart of the Desert Shrine Servant_1
“Should I use it on the Dancer?”
Lin Xun scratched his head, feeling somewhat hesitant.
The Dancer’s Shell invisibility skill is very practical and has no small use in reality.
It both allows for stealthy attacks and retreats when necessary.
But what made Lin Xun hesitate was the giant corpse in the Ancestral Mausoleum.
If all goes well, he can reach the Ancestral Mausoleum, and the giant corpse can be used as another Shell.
In case the giant has no real name, it would be better to give the item to a higher quality Shell to reap more benefits.
After pondering for a while, Lin Xun decided not to use the item on the Dancer.
He resolved to first explore the Ancestral Mausoleum before deciding which Shell should use this item.
He opened the Shell column and checked the status.
The Yellow Bishop and the Dancer were the only Shells alive, while all his Summoned Beasts had died.
Lin Xun planned to reconstruct the Engineer and the Three-Headed Lion the next day, then follow the map to the Nameless Mountain Range.
Exited the game and put down his phone.
As he began to work on his writing, his phone buzzed again.
[Black Silk Sister: Come to work.}
Lin Xun’s eyes brightened. His female boss was back! This also meant that his task reward was back.
He hastily tidied up his clothes and went downstairs to hail a cab.
He soon arrived at the Bureau of Culture.
Perhaps because Li Xingyue had been absent for several days, not a single person was seen on the second floor of the Intelligence Team.
Even Comrade Ye Xiaoqi, who usually stayed put in the office, was nowhere in sight.
“These colleagues sure know how to slack off.”
When Lin Xun arrived at the team leader’s office on the third floor, the Black Silk Sister was sitting on the sofa playing with her phone.
His female boss still looked as stunning as ever after several days. Her office attire showcased her voluptuous curves, while her black silk stockings wrapped around her slender, perfect legs.
Li Xingyue beckoned him over with a wave of her hand.
As Lin Xun sat down next to her, a glass box about the size of a soccer ball suddenly appeared in Li Xingyue’s hand.
Inside the box was a red beating heart.
This heart was several times larger than a human heart, pulsating intensively.
[Complete Heart of Desert Shrine Servant (Epic-level item): The huge heart still contains the twisted Divinity of the Desert Shrine Servant. After using this item, you will gain 1 Divinity point.]
Lin Xun’s eyes brightened. He currently needed Divinity items. The Shell slots had been filled for a while and urgently needed to be expanded.
Surprisingly, his female boss actually got him another item of Divinity.
However, Li Xingyue didn’t immediately hand over the glass box to him. She conjured up another item from the game.
It was a white mask about the size of a palm. It seemed to only be able to cover one’s eyes, similar to masks used at masquerades.
[Masquerade Mask (Special item): You thought some people changed, but in fact, it is their mask that fell off. After using this item, you can disguise your Soul Mark.]
Huh? What kind of item is this?
Lin Xun frowned, as he had never seen an item with such a special ability.
Li Xingyue placed both items on the table, then apologized.
“During my trip to Yunjing, I applied for two item rewards for you. Normally, this is a good thing. However, headquarters requires you to take on another task.”
As she said this, a familiar black metal card appeared in Li Xingyue’s hand.
[Disciple’s Sanctuary Lower-rank Seat Card (Special item): With this item, you can teleport to the Disciple’s Sanctuary through Rest Pages or in the Library.]
“This seat card has been modified and can allow you to infiltrate the core organization of the New World flawlessly.”
Lin Xun understood exactly what his female boss meant. His next task was to enter the Disciple’s Sanctuary in the game in order to gather intelligence on the enemy organization.
Compared to his previous tasks, this one was much less dangerous.
Because even if the infiltration fails and the enemy kills him, he would only lose a bit of Soul Strength.
Lin Xun nodded, indicating that he accepted the mission.
The Black Silk Sister flashed a charming smile, looking extremely seductive, “The Seat Card can only be activated after you have completed the initial chapter and opened the teleportation function of Rest Pages.”
“Your initial chapter is Chapter 323. Compared to other game worlds, this one is extremely difficult. So, don’t be in a rush. Only after you complete the chapter will the task officially start.”
Li Xingyue seemed to be in a good mood, “When you complete the initial chapter, just let me know. Then I will promote you and give you a raise.”
Lin Xun continued to listen to his female boss explaining.
He estimated that it would only take a few days for him to complete the initial chapter.
Li Xingyue told him all the details about how to use the two items.
Lin Xun committed everything to memory. So far, he had completed one hundred percent of his tasks for the organization. Even if he was to fail, he could not afford to fail in this relatively simple task.
Li Xingyue gave him all three items, then took out her phone and sent a text message.
Lin Xun found this scene to ring a bell.
Indeed, soon after, he received a text message notification from the bank. He has received a hundred thousand yuan.
“The bonus is not much, it’s the organization’s reward for you completing the task.”
Lin Xun was left speechless. A hundred thousand might not be a lot to a rich woman like Li Xingyue.
But for him, who was scraping by, the hundred thousand doubled his savings.
After receiving his mission reward, he bid farewell to his wealthy female boss and returned home.
Excited, he took out his phone and launched the game.
[The weak Wandering Soul awakens in a familiar hut…]
He opened his item column, and the Divinity item rewarded by his female boss was quietly lying there.
He clicked to use it without any hesitation.
[You have used the ‘Complete Heart of Desert Shrine Servant’ (Epic-level Item)]
[You have gained 1 Divinity point!]
When he opened the Apostle panel, a cute little plus sign appeared after the Thousand Faces and Million Forms soul skill.
After clicking the plus sign, the game text continued to display.
[You spent 1 Divinity point, Soul Skill level +1!]
[Soul Ability: Thousand Faces and Million Forms +3, Your soul has a unique taste, it encompasses all forms and denies none. Any Shell can easily be possessed. Skill effect: Greatly enhances the compatibility with Shells (+45%), Shell Slots +7]
Hmm? Lin Xun widened his eyes.
When the Soul Skill was upgraded for the first time, it expanded one Shell slot, and when it was upgraded again, it added two Shell slots.
Now that the Soul Skill was upgraded for the third time, it directly added three slots.
That means, the number of times the Skill is upgraded, the same number of Shell slots will be added.
With the basic slot and the initial slots added by the Skill, his slots have reached 1+1+1+2+3.
He opened the Shell column, and it clearly showed 5/8.
Lin Xun’s mouth rose into a grin, his Shell slots were enough for now!
Looking at the remaining ‘Masquerade Mask’ in his item column, he was not in a hurry to use it.
This item could wait until the chapter has ended and he returns to the Library to be used.
As his Skill level increased, a sudden wave of fervent heat swept his body!
