Chapter 185: Perfect Opportunity to Test the Weapon
Although Howard and Benjamin were both astounded by the skill book and equipment Jeremy had acquired.
They would never even consider attempting to seize them. Both of them firmly believed that these items would be far more effective in Jeremy's hands.
"Why don't you quickly take these two items away? I assume you're eager to put this skill book to use?" Howard inquired with a beaming smile directed at Jeremy.
Jeremy nodded in agreement.
"You are absolutely right. Most of the skills I originally possessed have already been sealed. The new skills I've acquired recently haven't been particularly helpful in combat.
Hence, I must learn the spatial seal skill as soon as possible. Additionally, I need to familiarize myself with the Longsword of the Undying promptly. Only then can I swiftly re-enter the battlefield."
Howard and Benjamin were both exceedingly pleased with Jeremy's response.
"That's great! I am eagerly looking forward to your next performance!"
Having said that, Howard promptly took his leave.
He needed to relay the specific details of the rewards obtained from the platinum chest to the military headquarters as soon as possible.
Jeremy and Benjamin watched Howard depart.
After Howard left, Benjamin, with a smile on his face, turned to Jeremy and asked,
"Has my daughter caused you much trouble lately?"
Upon hearing the question, Jeremy's expression displayed a hint of surprise.
"Bonnie is not only my class leader but also a very good friend of mine. How could she possibly cause me any trouble? In fact, Bonnie has always been able to assist me during battles.
Without her help, my previous endeavors wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Hearing these words, Benjamin's smile grew even brighter.
"That's reassuring! I'll be counting on you to look after my daughter in the days to come.
She has always aspired to enhance her own abilities, but as you know, her current strength is not sufficient to guarantee her safety.
Therefore, I hope she can continue to act alongside you moving forward."
Jeremy nodded without any hesitation.
"There's absolutely no problem with that. In fact, Bonnie is a partner I hold in very high regard. I'm confident that our forthcoming endeavors will yield excellent results."
Jeremy's response left Benjamin extremely satisfied.
Benjamin nodded, and then chose to leave as well. After all, he had a task quite similar to Howard's.
Howard needed to relay the rewards obtained from the platinum chest to the military headquarters, while Benjamin had to inform the higher-ups of the Federation about the same content.
After the two had departed, Jeremy wasted no time in using the Platinum Skill Book.
A vast amount of information about the Space Seal skill surged into Jeremy's mind. Consequently, part of Jeremy's brain adapted to accommodate the new skill.
Jeremy suddenly realized that he could perceive slightly irregular spatial structures in the real world.
Upon observing these irregular spatial structures, Jeremy had an epiphany. Perhaps he could leverage these subtly flawed spatial structures to more conveniently create his own unique spatial domain.
"It seems that the Space Seal skill requires consideration of numerous factors during its activation.
If the Space Seal skill is deployed in an open area, it would likely face significant limitations. However, if it is activated in a terrain with complex structures, it should yield excellent results."
After pondering for a brief moment, Jeremy decided to use the newly acquired Space Seal skill directly.
Jeremy's eyes fixated on a spot on the ground not far away, and in the next instant, a glowing entrance materialized out of thin air where he was looking.
Behind this entrance lay the unknown space that Jeremy had created using the Space Seal skill.
If Jeremy chose to use this unknown space offensively, the enemy would be trapped within it. If he opted for defense, he could now leap into this unknown space himself.
Jeremy repeatedly tested the Space Seal skill.
Only after confirming that he had mastered the Space Seal skill proficiently did Jeremy shift his focus to the Longsword of the Undying.
The Longsword of the Undying boasted an impressive level of 58.
Moreover, the weapon as a whole is exceedingly heavy, even though its description categorizes it as suitable for both one-handed and two-handed use.
However, at least for the present Jeremy, he could only barely wield the Longsword of the Undying with both hands gripping it tightly.
"It appears that at my current level, wielding the Longsword of the Undying comes with certain limitations. Perhaps once I reach level 50, I will be able to unleash its full potential."
After pondering briefly, Jeremy arrived at this conclusion.
Having familiarized himself with the skill and the weapon, Jeremy decided to seek out Emma and Claire directly.
He intended to include the two of them in his upcoming actions.
After all, with his newly acquired formidable Space Seal skill and a level 58 weapon, he could now ensure the safety of Emma and Claire during their missions.
As Jeremy headed towards Emma and Claire's residence, Ritchie was also on the lookout for Jeremy's whereabouts.
Ritchie had successfully completed his own mission.
However, he was unsure of what to do next, so he decided to find Jeremy and ask him what tasks he could undertake moving forward.
Eventually, Ritchie and Jeremy crossed paths at the entrance of Claire's house.
"Where have you been? It was just about finding Howard to open the platinum-level treasure chest. Why did you waste so much time?"
Ritchie complained directly upon seeing Jeremy.
Jeremy responded with a smile on his face.
"The way you speak makes it seem as if platinum-level treasure chests are as common as dirt. You must understand that platinum-level treasure chests are extremely rare.
Even the military headquarters and the federal high command have never obtained one. Therefore, opening a platinum-level treasure chest requires the assistance of the military headquarters and the federal elite.
The reason I took so much time was because I had to negotiate with the envoys from the military headquarters and the federal high command."
Hearing Jeremy's explanation, a look of astonishment appeared on Ritchie's face.
"You actually met with the envoys from the military headquarters and the federal high command? Did they mention any rewards they might offer you?"
"Rewards? You wish! The military headquarters and the federal high command merely invited me to join their ranks. But I outright declined because I believe that working with you guys is far more enjoyable."
Upon hearing these words, Ritchie stepped forward and placed his hand on Jeremy's shoulder.
"That's the wisest decision you could make! After all, we are a team! Even if you joined the military headquarters and the federal high command, they wouldn't treat you like one of their own."
Jeremy cast a glance at Ritchie.
"If we are truly a team, then why were you just complaining about me?"
"When did I ever complain about you?! What I said earlier was merely out of concern for you!" Ritchie quickly defended himself.
"Alright, since we are already at Claire's doorstep, why are we still standing here? Let's go meet Claire and Emma. They must be getting impatient by now."
Ritchie hastily changed the subject, pushing open the door to Claire's house and walking right in.
Jeremy shook his head with a smile and followed suit.
Claire and Emma were visibly excited to see Jeremy, as they hadn't seen him for several days.
"You finally have some free time to come see us. I've heard that you've been spending a lot of time with Bonnie lately."
Claire remarked, seemingly casually.
Before Jeremy could respond, Ritchie nodded and said.
"Indeed, that's the case. Jeremy here has been spending all his time with Captain Bonnie lately. They've even left me out in the cold." Ritchie said, his words causing Jeremy to feel a bit awkward.
As Jeremy was pondering what to say, he suddenly heard a deep, distant voice.
"I have pinpointed your location. I will soon be by your side to eliminate you." The moment Jeremy heard this voice, he instinctively recognized it as the voice of the White Tower.
"I just heard an unfamiliar voice. It must belong to one of the apocalypse game's orchestrators. They are about to launch an attack on me."
Jeremy declared, his words casting a pall of terror over everyone present.
Claire, in a rush, asked Jeremy, "Why is this happening? How can the orchestrator of t
he apocalypse game enter the real world? What should we do now? Should we hide?"
Upon hearing this, Jeremy let out a cold laugh and said.
"There's absolutely no need for us to hide! The arrival of the White Tower is, in fact, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. We can seize this moment to test out the new weapon I've acquired."
Jeremy then revealed the Longsword of the Undying.
The instant the Longsword of the Undying made contact with the air, everyone in the room felt the temperature plummet rapidly. Ritchie, Claire, and Emma were all captivated by the Longsword of the Undying.
"Why does this weapon look so sinister? Just looking at it makes me feel uneasy all over." Ritchie remarked, wearing a visibly uncomfortable expression as he stared at the Longsword of the Undying in Jeremy's hand.
