Chapter 36: Rank 4 Investigator

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

For about a few seconds, under the illumination of the holy light., the long staff, which was originally gray in color, seemed to shed its skin, revealing the silver color underneath.

At the same time, a translucent and resplendent sapphire appeared on the head of the staff. The entire staff was covered in a warm glow, as if it was a holy object.

Just by looking at its appearance, the identified staff had clearly become even more noble. Whether it was its strange appearance, its head inlaid with diamonds, or its body engraved with inscriptions and gathering light, they all made the staff look incomparably holy.

Seeing that the staff had changed, Su Ce opened its tooltip impatiently.

Additional Skill 3: Vision of God (Summon the Eye of the True God to deal 3,000 damage in the straight line in front of you. Note: This spell can only be used once. It will become unusable after.)

Looking at the tooltip of the staff in front of him, Su Ce was extremely surprised. It’s actually diamond quality. It’s just one step away from reaching the epic threshold. Awesome!

Unexpectedly, not only did the master-level scroll add a single-use spell to Withering Dance, but it also raised the originally platinum-quality staff to diamond quality!

He had never expected such a pleasant surprise.

Originally, Su Ce was worried that he might have lost money by spending 380,000 dollars on the scroll.

After all, the price of an ordinary platinum-quality weapon was only about 500,000 dollars. If the weapon wasn’t powerful enough, it would have been equivalent to the money spent on the scroll being thrown away.

Who knew that the scroll could achieve such an effect? It was simply shocking.

Gently stroking the staff, Su Ce was extremely excited. Not only did I not lose money, but I’ve even made a fortune!

A few days ago, he would have never even dared to think about a platinum-quality weapon.

But now, he was personally touching a diamond-quality weapon.

In particular, after seeing the staff’s effects and attributes, he was even more looking forward to the days when he became Rank 3.

After all, skills like Flash Dance usually only appeared in the specialized skills of Rank 3 classes, and only a few classes had such a skill.

For example, the Space Mage’s Blink, the Shadow Hunter’s Dark Curtain, the Oracle’s Altar of Heaven…

Apart from these, most Professionals seemed to achieve the effect of Flash skills through acceleration and other means.

But it was impossible to achieve the effect of Flash skills, which could ignore terrain.

Therefore, if one wanted to obtain a Flash skill, not only did they need to be talented enough to comprehend the relevant specialization skill, but they also needed to have enough luck to advance to the corresponding class.

But with Withering Dance, Su Ce could completely overcome all these obstacles. As long as he reached Level 60 and completed the Rank 3 advancement quest, he would be able to obtain a Flash skill.

Although the cooldown of the staff’s Flash skill was a little long, Su Ce was already very satisfied.

After seeing the attributes and effects of Withering Dance, Su Ce put it into his inventory in satisfaction.

After he sold 37 pieces of equipment, there was a lot more space in his inventory.

Although this wasn’t enough space to support his next adventure, it was enough as long as he cleared away some unusable materials later.

After doing all this, Su Ce’s heart slowly relaxed.

But at this moment, his stomach started to protest. Although I’ve already become a Professional, I still have to eat well.

He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water from the table in the living room. After taking a few sips, he immediately put on his coat, planning to go out to eat something to reward himself for improving his strength.

Walking down the wooden banister stairs, Su Ce was already thinking about what to eat.

But at this seemingly peaceful moment, the system’s notification sounded in his mind again.

[Prompt: The Eye of the Dragon God has activated. A powerful Rank 4 Professional has been discovered within 1,000 meters of Leyton Academy!]

The moment he heard the voice, his breathing stopped.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, wanting to obtain more information through his talent.

The Eye of the Dragon God’s ability to detect opportunities and dangers was not as simple as just telling him coordinates.

Most of the time, it could even provide some key information to help him understand events that were about to happen.

Looking at the dim scene in front of him, Su Ce carefully observed it and quickly found some information worth paying attention to.

A road, the shade of trees, a Rank 4 Professional, the entrance of Leyton Academy…

Incomplete fragments of scenes surged into Su Ce’s brain bit by bit.

After organizing them slightly, he immediately roughly understood the reason for this.

Just based on the information that the other party was a Rank 4 Professional, Su Ce could directly define this person’s identity as a powerful Professional from a big city.

This was because in Bo’an City, the Professionals here were basically Rank 1 or Rank 2. The number of Rank 3 Professionals could be counted on one hand.

Even Dean Huo Shan, whose strength was comparable to the city lord’s, was only at the middle stage of Rank 3, which was Level 71.

Although a Professional’s level couldn’t fully represent their strength, the growth of each level and the free attribute points were enough to widen the gap between them and others.

As long as one’s level was high enough, even a Mage without any close combat ability could easily kill a Warrior 30 levels lower with a staff.

There were no Rank 4 Professionals in Bo’an City, so Su Ce could guess where the other party came from and why this person was here.

After this expert entered Bo’an City, he didn’t go to the city lord’s manor immediately. Su Ce could determine that the other party’s goal was definitely Leyton Academy.

Over the past two days, many things had happened in Leyton Academy. Classes had been suspended, and the barrier had been broken.

Thus, Su Ce understood that the Rank 4 expert should be an investigator from the provincial capital.

His purpose was to investigate why the barrier of Leyton Academy had been broken twice.

In addition, there had been rumors recently that a couple big shots who knew how to cast forbidden spells had come to Bo’an City.

Therefore, it was reasonable that the other party would come to investigate at this critical moment.
