Gu Qing Shan returned to the Hitman Guild.
All the staff members were looking at him with respect and awe in their eyes.
News spread very quickly in Void City.
When someone wanted to step on the Hitman Guild, he was able to put his sword against their neck in front of everyone, making them unable to move.
Being able to do this was already quite an impressive feat.
Not to mention, those people were all killed in the end.
Furthermore, this Hitman also had a good relationship with the Ominous Demon Tower.
He was strong, had a good reputation, and was quite popular.
Who wouldn't look up to him?
Gu Qing Shan's gaze swept through the reception room, but didn't see Qin.
Most likely, her shift was over, so she went back to rest.
Gu Qing Shan returned to the lounge and opened his room door.
The ocean.
The sun.
The blue sky.
The small island.
This was his personal resting area.
Gu Qing Shan stepped through the door, stepped on the fine sand of the beach, and closed the door behind him.
He casually strolled along the shore.
A gentle breeze blew past, calming one's spirit.
Gu Qing Shan recalled everything that had happened recently in his mind, then began to check his own situation.
At Sumeru Lord realm, even the War God UI wouldn't be able to help him too much if he wanted to advance to the next realm.
Star River Saint realm was different from all the previous realms, it was very unique and required a process of accumulation.
This advancement wasn't normal, it wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.
Gu Qing Shan made some calculations and found that if he wanted to advance, he would need to wait until his Dantian's ability to accumulate spirit energy had reached a higher level.
That would require a lot of work, which he couldn't achieve for now.
He didn't want to think about it anymore. Instead, he took out an identity token.
This was an Unsolvable Hitman's ID card, which allowed him to read a lot of information.
With a light touch of the ID card, a screen appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan casually tried it out and understood how to operate it.
He didn't try to touch the highly classified information that required points right from the start, only looking at some common knowledge.
— — for example, what an Ominous Demon was.
The corresponding description appeared on the light screen.
"To this day, there is no definite answer as to why some ordinary individuals would undergo such demonization. We only know that when this phenomenon occurs, there is a chance that it will attract the attention of the various laws of the Void, allowing certain individuals to become super-evolved mutated individuals. These are the Ominous Demons."
Who holds the authority over Void City?
The light screen explained: "When Void City was first established, countless experts wanted to become the master of this city. After more than a hundred years of sparring and competition, the strongest person emerged. Everyone was convinced of his strength, and he became the master of this city"
"The name of the City Lord cannot be said or read, or it will disturb him."
"Apart from the City Lord, the leaders of the various forces in Void City are all part of the city's power."
"Under the leadership of the City Lord, all forces will jointly decide the future of Void City"
What is a 'large-scale interworld quest'?
The screen of light explained: [When an Apocalypse that is especially destructive appears, many important worlds will begin to ask for help. The various organizations of Void City will then band together to issue a large-scale interworld mission to gather their forces to fight against the Apocalypse and save the various worlds]
"For example, merchant organizations will provide backup resources to support the various worlds' wars, while combat-oriented organizations will issue large-scale combat missions"
"If the worlds are successfully saved, all saved worlds will pay generous rewards in return for Void City's efforts"
"Please pay attention to the following description: Large-scale interworld quests usually last for a very long time, ranging from a few dozen days to a few months, until the allied army wins against the Apocalypse, or completely fails"
This time, Gu Qing Shan understood.
Void City was a city where countless monsters and races of the Void gathered.
It naturally had the strength to support the various worlds that were being invaded by the Apocalypse, and it had to do so.
Because the more worlds were destroyed, the weaker the World Origin and Laws within the space vortex would become.
While the Apocalypse would grow stronger during this process.
No one was willing to see that.
This was also the reason why as soon as Gu Qing Shan became an Unsolvable Hitman, he had to sign a covenant to not arbitrarily destroy worlds.
"Hah, Apocalypse …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered with a complicated expression.
He opened the Hitman's quest list, searched for a bit, and quickly found several 'large-scale interworld quests'.
However, he couldn't accept any of them.
At this point, his ID card suddenly lit up. Someone was calling.
When Gu Qing Shan took a look, he saw that it was Crow.
"What are you doing?" Crow asked.
"Nothing, just staying in the resting area" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Going for a drink? Maybe some breakfast? "Crow suggested.
Gu Qing Shan helplessly said: "We just drank yesterday, are we going to drink again today? Speaking of which, I have something to ask you "
"Go ahead"
"Why can't I accept large-scale interworld quests?"
"Ah, about that. Large-scale missions against the Apocalypse are very strict, only those with sufficient strength and qualifications can accept them"
"How so?"
"Take a look at the quest list, there's a selection location behind each large-scale mission. Only by participating in the selection and passing can you accept the mission"
"Also, you're currently only Unsolvable, so it might be a bit difficult for you to accept these types of missions"
Listening to him, Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze towards the large-scale interworld missions. Sure enough, they all had different addresses.
Some were at the Star Cloud Commerce, some were at the Holy Church of Splendor, while the last one was at the Ominous Demon Tower.
— — -the Ominous Demon Tower!
Even if the Unsolvable Hitman's rank is a bit low, the people of the Ominous Demon Tower would definitely let me pass.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to click on it, this large-scale interworld quest suddenly turned grey, no longer accepting any responses.
"Crow, why did one of the large-scale interworld quests turn grey?" Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion.
After a bit of silence, Crow replied: "While these large-scale quests are being carried out, they would constantly recruit people to participate in order to ensure that they have enough fighting strength to face the Apocalypse, unless a certain situation occurs, they would turn grey"
Gu Qing Shan understood a bit and hesitantly asked: "You mean …"
Crow replied: "Yes, the mission had completely failed. The Apocalypse had destroyed those worlds and all living beings within them, including everyone who participated in the battle — — there was no hope of victory, so they couldn't accept any more missions"
"What should we do in this situation?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The big shots of the various organizations and the strongest monsters within the void will act. It would be great if they succeeded, but if even they couldn't, they would have no choice but to create a new map of the void and announce it to all worlds, telling everyone to avoid the destroyed areas"
For a while, both of them fell silent.
"Crow, I want to try accepting a large-scale interworld quest" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
A series of noises could be heard from Crow's side, apparently he was also operating the quest list.
A few moments later, his voice resounded again: "I suggest that you accept the second mission on the 7th row. This mission had only been released for 2 days, so you won't have to face an intense final battle as soon as you enter"
"Furthermore, the selection point for this mission is located in our Guild, so the person in charge of the selection would have to give our Hitman Guild a bit of face, so it would be easier for you to pass"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze moved, glancing at the mission again. Sure enough, it was just as Crow said.
"Alright, I'll be participating in the selection now, see you later" Gu Qing Shan said.
"See you later" Crow replied.
The two of them hung up.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought for a while.
— — -this type of mission would take anywhere from a dozen days to a few months.
But Buttercup wanted me to become a Titled Hitman within a month.
Seems like I'll have to hurry.
He quickly left the lounge and returned to the Hitman Guild's lobby.
"Hello, I want to accept the # 337 mission" he told a staff member in charge of the mission.
"It's a large-scale interworld mission, so you'll need to go through the selection, come with me"
The staff member led him into a hallway, then pointed at the packed Professionists in front of him: "I've already arranged a number for you, when your codename is called, you can enter, there will be a special selection"
"Alright, thank you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He turned his gaze forward.
The line was so long that he couldn't see the end of it, all of them were members of various organizations of Void City.
At the end of the line was a small door where several selectors were inspecting those who wanted to accept the mission one by one.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a while.
After about 20 minutes, one person came out, and then another person went in.
— — -such a long line, how long would I have to wait in it?
Gu Qing Shan returned to the lobby, found the staff member from before, and whispered: "Is there a way to not have to wait in the queue?"
The staff member also whispered: "According to the rules, Titled Combatants can directly enter, but there's also another situation, which is if you have some sort of unique ability and believe that you'll be able to convince the selectors, you can also directly enter — — this rule is also meant to save everyone's time"
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought for a second.
He quickly pulled up the War God UI, set his title to the [Most Flirtatious Man] tab, then quickly headed towards the selection point.
