Chapter 1605 - Death Sickle’s Missions

Yang Ling had genuinely liked Hong Zhuang. However, Lin Huang was not sure if Hong Zhuang had reciprocated Yang Ling’s affections. In any case, he did not wish to probe further into the matter.

However, as Yang Ling’s friend, he would fulfill Yang Ling’s dying wish, which was to take care of Hong Zhuang for him.

After getting Hong Zhuang settled in, Lin Huang began sorting out his thoughts.

Yang Ling’s death gave him an even more acute sense of impending danger.

The Raiders were much more powerful than he had expected, as well as more despicable.

As far as Lin Huang was concerned, the best way to rid himself of this overhanging sense of danger was to elevate his ability.

"Let me max out the number of god rules for my Godly Right integration first, as soon as possible. That way, as soon as I get the half-step Lord God Territories from Virtuoso, I can refine them right away and elevate to heavenly god-level!"

Although there were other channels he could use to elevate his ability, Lin Huang decided to fill up his god rules to capacity first after some consideration.

His Godly Right had already integrated 1.5 billion god rules; in truth, he was fast approaching his limit.

Moreover, this was not a difficult undertaking—it could be achieved by killing Heavenly Gods.

However, Lin Huang wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Therefore, he pulled up the missions page on the Death Sickle forum and began looking for missions.

Although obtaining god rules would be a little slower when hunting down mission targets, he would be able to gain some handsome rewards from the missions themselves.

To Lin Huang, who needed a massive amount of resources to trade many times for half-step Lord God Territories, everything counted, however small. After all, most people’s wealth was acc.u.mulated bit by bit like this.

If one did not take on any missions today or tomorrow, when would they be able to acc.u.mulate the money needed to purchase a half-step Lord God Territory?

"It would be great if I could take out a mortgage... I’d get one that lasts for a million years so I could pay it back slowly!"

When he thought of just how expensive half-step Lord God Territories were, Lin Huang began yearning a little for the mortgages on Earth.

He collected his thoughts somewhat and looked at the missions page again.

The level of difficulty for Gold Sickle missions was fighting Heavenly Gods.

Generally speaking, either the assassination targets would be Heavenly Gods, or he would come into conflict with heavenly god-level powerhouses while carrying out the mission.

Lin Huang glanced through the missions list and realized that the missions were arranged by the time of publication. The ones that were published later would be listed further up on top.

He changed the sorting order right away, opting to list the missions with the most handsome rewards first.

The missions list changed immediately.

Lin Huang looked over everything again and realized there were very few changes in which missions were listed first.

The mission in the top spot was still the same one, which was to kill a half-step heavenly god-level Bug Tribe Queen Mother. It was published over eight thousand years ago.

Lin Huang skipped over it after a mere glance at the heading and continued scrolling down. He did not even look to see what the reward was.

Killing a half-step heavenly god-level powerhouse was still a tall order for him to pull off in a short time.

Furthermore, this was a half-step heavenly god-level Bug Tribe Queen Mother that might have heavenly god-level guards by her side.

Lin Huang looked at the second mission on the list after skipping over the first one.

It was still a familiar heading, also about killing a Bug Tribe Queen Mother.

To be exact, the mission was to kill a fallen Queen Mother that resided in the Abyss.

This fallen Queen Mother possessed half-step heavenly god-level combat strength too.

Lin Huang skipped over this as well and looked at the third mission.

It was the exact same mission as previously—killing the half-step heavenly god-level S.u.c.c.u.b.u.s Mia.

He skipped past a dozen or more missions for killing half-step Heavenly Gods and looked at those that had ninth-rank heavenly god-level targets.

"Killing God Capital’s King Kong..."

"King Kong, saber cultivator, suspected to be class-5.5, ninth-rank heavenly god-level combat strength..."

The first mission listed was to kill King Kong.

Lin Huang was familiar with King Kong. He was the most powerful of all the Heavenly Gods in God Capital, with abilities that might be no less than those of Buried Heaven.

He was an overbearing entity who could directly take on half-step heavenly god-level powerhouses in a fight.

Previously, when the Great Heaven Territory had been opened, King Kong had been the leader of God Capital. Lin Huang had met him once at the time.

"This fellow’s abilities might very well be on par with Buried Heaven’s. Among the Heavenly Gods in the God Territory, his abilities are definitely in the top three ranks." At present, Lin Huang did not think he would be able to fight a battle with King Kong on equal footing.

After skipping over the mission to kill King Kong, he saw yet another familiar name.

"Kill Peerless Overlord from the Combat God Temple..."

"Peerless Overlord, spear cultivator, suspected to be class-5, ninth-rank heavenly god-level combat strength..."

Peerless Overlord, King Kong, and Buried Heaven were all powerhouses of the same level. The three of them were already at peak heavenly god-level and had been cultivating at ninth-rank heavenly god-level for years in order to break through to lord-level in one fell swoop.

Although a target like this offered extremely handsome rewards, Lin Huang did not consider the mission for the time being.

He resumed scrolling down and finally found a suitable target.

"Killing God Capital’s Shen Jue..."

"Shen Jue, saber cultivator, class-5 supreme god-level, ninth-rank heavenly god-level combat strength..."

"Reward for completion of mission: Pseudo-Dao Weapon x1"

Lin Huang had heard of this Shen Jue individual before.

He ranked No. 7 on the God Territory’s Heavenly God Leaderboard.

However, Lin Huang’s familiarity with him was not because of the Leaderboard, but because Shen Jue’s name frequently appeared on Death Sickle’s forum.

This fellow was an utter racist.

He had been born into the largest pure blood clan in the God Territory—the Shen family. Not only that, he was a direct descendent of the Shen family. Therefore, since childhood, he had always possessed a superiority complex, regarding everyone else as beneath him.

His looks were unparalleled, but in character, he was brutal and extreme.

To him, all living beings that were not pure blood Protoss were nothing but animals. They were only fit to be slaves.

What he loved most was to buy slaves of various races and subject them to abuse and torture. After he was done, he would then kill them using various methods.

Unfortunately, due to his status and his abilities, everyone else could not say anything. They could only fume in silence.

"This jerk is also on the missions list." Lin Huang raised his brows. "His abilities should be on par with mine now..."

After some consideration, he accepted the mission.

As far as Lin Huang was concerned, accepting easily achieved missions with generous rewards was a matter of course. However, he also felt that more challenging missions afforded him the opportunity to improve.

Besides, this Shen Jue fellow certainly deserved to die!

After accepting the mission to kill Shen Jue, Lin Huang resumed scrolling down the list and came across yet another familiar name.

"Killing God Capital’s Shen Yu..."

"Shen Yu, saber cultivator, class-5 supreme god-level, ninth-rank heavenly god-level combat strength..."

"Reward for completion of mission: Pseudo-Dao Weapon x1"

Shen Yu was Shen Jue’s older sister by birth; the pair of them were twins.

Brother and sister had grown up together, and their characters were so similar it was as if they came from the same mold. She and Shen Jue were constantly up to no good, and they would even exchange slaves so that they could torment them further.

Rumor was that Shen Yu had been the one who had first given Shen Jue his taste for slave torture.

Her own abilities were also powerful. She was ranked No. 11 on the God Territory’s Heavenly God Leaderboard and could be considered extremely talented.

Without hesitation, Lin Huang accepted that mission too.

After that, he continued perusing the list and accepted over 20 missions at once before closing the missions page.
