Chapter 15: The S-Rank Second Advancement Quest! The Death Knight Must Die!

Lin Yi felt somewhat delighted.

There are billions of people on Blue Star.

He was one in billions!

No, looking across a millennium of history, he might be one in trillions!

Lin Yi quickly understood why no predecessor had ever chosen to max out the Identification Skill, that is, to reach its pinnacle.

Because...

There is simply no cost-effectiveness!

Most professionals learn Identification Skill just to check the attributes and strength of monsters at their own level.

Or to examine the properties of rare materials and treasures.

There is absolutely no need to upgrade to a high level just to analyze monsters they cannot even defeat.

Moreover—

Although the skill points required to upgrade a universal skill like Identification are only about a quarter of those needed for professional skills,

who would be willing to spend that precious quarter of skill points on Identification instead of their own professional skills?

Having realized this, Lin Yi hurriedly opened his skill panel.

He examined the new skill that had evolved from Identification.

[All-Seeing Eye]

[Unique]

[Skill Level: Ninth Tier]

[Type: Passive Universal Skill]

[Cost: None]

[Cast Time: None]

[Cooldown: None]

[Effect: When you gaze at a target for more than three seconds, regardless of the level difference between you and the target, and ignoring all falsehoods, concealments, and hidden effects of the target, you gain all information about that target.]

[When the target is a spirit or an unidentified equipment item, after successful identification, you have a 10% chance to upgrade the quality of that spirit or equipment by one rank.]

[Note: Perceive all things, understand the universe.]

Lin Yi was somewhat astonished.

The power of this skill far exceeded his imagination.

And this should count as his first ninth-tier skill.

In other words, with this skill, all things in the world would reveal their truest nature to Lin Yi’s eyes!

Not to mention, this passive skill also had the ability to dispel illusions and counter invisibility.

Absolutely extraordinary!

Lin Yi fixed his gaze on a passing professional nearby.

After three seconds, all the information about this person was fully exposed before Lin Yi’s eyes.

Profession, level, skills, the equipment worn, current health points, current status effects—

Even his weaknesses were crystal clear!

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Yi calmed his somewhat excited heart.

He stepped out of the trading hall.

This trip had been incredibly fruitful.

The next task was to accept the job transfer quest.

The Greater Xia Trading Hall and the Job Transfer Sanctuary were very close, almost just a street apart.

Lin Yi headed straight to the nearby Job Transfer Sanctuary.

Upon entering, a young woman immediately approached and greeted him warmly.

“Hello, professional. How may I assist you?”

The receptionist was a black-haired woman wearing glasses, with a gentle smile and her hands clasped behind her back, looking very obedient.

In fact, she had noticed this handsome fellow the moment he stepped through the sanctuary’s door.

Many professionals passed by, but handsome men were a rare species.

Seeing such a good-looking one was a rare opportunity, so of course, she had to come over and strike up a conversation.

Lin Yi said, “I want to accept the second job transfer quest.”

The woman maintained her smile, brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear, and said, “Then please show me your professional ID.”

“Uh... I just transferred recently and haven’t gotten the official professional certificate yet. Will my student ID suffice?”

The woman was a bit surprised, “Ah, you mean you’re a newly transferred professional from just a week ago?”

Lin Yi nodded.

Her shock deepened.

She had never seen anyone reach the requirements for a second transfer within just a week!

She was almost unable to hide her expression.

“Are you already level 30?”

Lin Yi nodded again.

The woman took a deep breath, inwardly amazed.

It seemed this handsome guy before her had an extremely formidable background.

Though she hadn’t seen anyone in this small city of Jiangcheng achieve second transfer so quickly, in larger base cities, especially those with deep-rooted noble families,

it was possible to use resources to push family heirs to level 30 in a short time.

She hadn’t expected that this handsome guy not only looked good but also had such a terrifying background!

Unconsciously, she had moved a little closer to Lin Yi.

Of course, Lin Yi was unaware of the mental stories this woman was spinning; he just wanted to accept the quest and get it done.

He took out his student ID.

This could prove that he was indeed a professional.

“Oh, okay, I’ll register you right away!”

Soon, she finished the registration and guided Lin Yi to one of the rooms in the Job Transfer Sanctuary.

Entering the room, Lin Yi saw again a blue spirit crystal stone floating midair.

It was just like the one he had seen when he first awakened his profession at school.

Touching the spirit crystal again,

Lin Yi received a system notification.

[Ding! Checking professional’s level...]

[Current professional level: 30, meeting requirements for second job transfer.]

[Initiating job transfer quest selection...]

[Ding! You have received an S-rank job transfer quest: The Death Knight Must Die!]

[Quest Requirements: In a team of three or fewer, defeat the level 60 world boss: Death Knight Ravendale, and obtain the quest item: Heart of the Undead.]

Upon seeing the quest details, Lin Yi paused.

Not because the task seemed impossibly difficult, but rather because it seemed almost too simple.

S-rank difficulty, and this is it?

A level 60 boss; this level was even lower than the Molten Flame Demon he could summon.

Even if it was a boss, one blast of Heavenly Flame Dragon’s Breath should be enough to kill it.

If not, just finish it off with a few more hits.

The task even allowed a team of three.

This was far too lenient!

Honestly, this made him want to laugh through tears.

If others knew his thoughts, they might be baffled.

Because if they received such a task, they might break down into tears themselves.

They might never get a second transfer in their lifetime.

World bosses were famous for their high defense and massive health.

Because these bosses spawned directly in leveling zones, not in dungeons.

Dungeon bosses strictly limit the number of participants, so their stats are not as outrageous.

But wild world bosses have health pools more than ten times that of their dungeon counterparts.

Because once they spawn, hundreds or thousands of players swarm them.

So, if anyone other than Lin Yi was unlucky enough to get such an S-rank quest,

their professional path might really end here...

Because job transfer quests were randomly assigned, with no chance for a redo!

After accepting the quest, Lin Yi left the room.

The glasses-wearing receptionist smiled and asked, “Lin, is the task difficult?”

Lin Yi shook his head, “Just average.”

She clapped her hands, “Ah, then congratulations! If it’s a simple task, you should be able to complete the second transfer smoothly!”

“What’s the quest objective? Don’t underestimate me—I’m the most senior staff member in the entire Job Transfer Sanctuary!”

“I know how to complete the tasks for many third transfer professionals!”
