After completing the extremely simple registration procedure at Death's Scythe base, Lin Huang soon left the black market and stayed in a hotel nearby.
In the hotel, Lin Huang began to study Death's Scythe's official website.
Just like what Bloody said, it was not difficult to join Death's Scythe. Lin Huang only had to fill in an incomplete form to become a reserve member.
However, the authority of a reserve member was extremely low.
On the official website, not only could one view the public information that could be found on the internet, but the forum only had a reserve member section and a mission section. There was also a restriction on the mission section, whereby one could only view reserve level missions.
Meanwhile, the information section, the trading section, and even the official forum were not open.
"As expected of a reserve member. The treatment is no different from that of a passerby," Lin Huang could not help but exclaim after roughly looking through it.
Soon, Lin Huang found a pinned post on the reserve member section. The title of the post was' Promotion Rules for Death's Scythe Member. '
He clicked on it immediately and finished reading it in less than a minute. He finally had a complete understanding of Death's Scythe's ranking rules.
As Bloody had found out earlier, the ranks of Death's Scythe members from the lowest to the highest were reserve, Black Sickle, White Sickle, Gold Sickle, and Blood Sickle.
A normal registration could make one a reserve member right away.
A reserve member would only need to complete three assassination missions within a year or three specific missions within ten years to become an official Black Sickle.
In reality, there was a real name registration whereby one could skip the reserve and become a Black Sickle member directly.
However, one would need to be recommended by an official member of Death's Scythe for such a registration. Furthermore, the registrant would have to use their real identity. Their combat strength and ability must be above virtual god-level. Apart from that, one would also need to pass an actual battle assessment. Only by passing the identity verification and assessment could one skip the reserve and become a Black Sickle member directly.
If a Black Sickle wanted to be promoted to a White Sickle, two conditions must be fulfilled.
Firstly, be in the top three of the Black Sickle monthly leaderboard for three consecutive months.
Secondly, complete a True God assassination mission. (Trial Quests issued after applying for promotion.)
The conditions were similar for advancing from White Sickle to Gold Sickle.
Apart from being in the top three of the White Sickle Monthly Leaderboard for three consecutive months, he also had to complete a Heavenly God assassination mission.
As for Blood Sickle, which was the highest promotion from Gold Sickle, the requirements were even harsher.
The basic requirement for the application was to be on the top of the Gold Sickle Leaderboard for three consecutive years, not even a month off.
The subsequent Trial Missions required him to complete three assassinations of half-step Lords.
"According to the last advancement requirement, although Death's Scythe doesn't have a Lord-Level powerhouse on the surface, there's no Lord-Level powerhouse in the Death's Scythe. However, the seven Blood Sickle powerhouses are at least half-step lord-level powerhouses, not ordinary peak heavenly gods. " Lin Huang could not help but exclaim, "If these seven Blood Sickle powerhouses have the ability to assassinate half-step Lords, their combined power is probably no less than a Lord's."
After reading the pinned post, Lin Huang looked through the other posts that were pinned on the forum and the ones that received a lot of replies.
He browsed through the Reserve Member section for more than three hours before returning to the main page of the official website.
"The Reserve Member's authorization level is too low. I must elevate to Black Sickle as soon as possible before I can accept the Virtual God assassination mission." Lin Huang had a rough understanding of Death's Scythe. Very soon, he had a plan of his own. "I don't think I can go through the identity verification, so I can only elevate through normal means. In other words, I have to complete three Reserve Member assassination missions first. "
As he thought of this, Lin Huang clicked on the missions page again and began looking for missions that were suitable for him.
Due to the restriction of authorization, the missions section only allowed Lin Huang to take on reserve missions. Even so, there were many missions available.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Huang decided to sort them according to distance.
He wanted to elevate as soon as possible, so naturally, the closer the missions were, the better. He did not bother to think about the difficulty and points.
"Mission: Assassinate Ai Yun
"Location: Iron Fist Shelter
"Target Mission Details: Iron Fist Ai Rong's son, combat strength imperial-level.
"Mission Points: 10,000 points"
However, Lin Huang was stunned when he saw the first mission that was sorted according to distance.
The location was the Iron Fist Shelter, which was the Shelter that Lin Huang was currently in. Moreover, the mission points were 10,000 points, which was equivalent to the points for assassinating a first-rank True God.
Lin Huang had never heard of the name Ai Yun before, but Ai Rong was no stranger to Lin Huang. It was the name of the guardian of the Iron Fist Shelter.
According to the information provided by Bloody, Ai Rong was already a ninth-rank True God since a long time ago. His ability was unpredictable.
Lin Huang looked up Ai Yun's information again and found out that he was Ai Rong's youngest son. He was also the only surviving son at the moment.
However, Ai Yun's combat strength was only on imperial-level. At least, the combat strength that he displayed in the outside world was only on imperial-level. He did not have the talent or potential to fight cross-ranking battles.
Perhaps because Ai Yun's combat strength was only on imperial-level, this mission was open to reserve members.
However, Lin Huang skipped this mission almost without thinking and looked at the next one.
Although this mission was close, it was not worth it to offend a top True God for the sake of elevating to Black Sickle.
After spending some ten minutes doing a simple selection, Lin Huang picked three missions that he thought were suitable.
"Assassinate the Snake Seal Shelter's Rattan Snake."
"Assassinate the Purple Rat Shelter's Flicker Rat."
"Kill the Poisonous Swamp Frog. Obtain the poison gland."
The Snake Seal Shelter and the Purple Rat Shelter were grade-1 Shelters. They were located on the same planet not far from the Iron Fist Shelter.
The reason why nobody was willing to accept these two missions was not because the two guardians were powerful, but because the number of monsters in these two Shelters was extremely large. Although they were only grade-1 Shelters, they housed up to a million members of the same tribe. In terms of population alone, it was comparable to the standard of a top grade-3 Shelter.
Moreover, these two missions were only published in the reserve mission section, and the reward points were only 100 points.
Naturally, nobody was willing to accept these missions with high risk and low reward.
As for the Poisonous Swamp Frog, it was on a poisonous planet not far from the Snake Seal Shelter and the Purple Rat Shelter. The entire planet was covered in poisonous fog. Almost all the creatures in the entire ecosystem had poison in their bodies.
Moreover, the layer of poisonous fog alone would affect most creatures below virtual god-level.
Moreover, the reward points were not high at only 300 points. Naturally, nobody was willing to take the risk.
These three missions happened to be in the same place, and they were not far from the Iron Fist Shelter. Lin Huang made his choice almost without hesitation.
