BXBX NOVEL Chapter 149 Communication
Being known to the world at large would come with a lot of hassles, and Viktor definitely does not wish to be known as the one responsible for the new world rank. For this reason, he decided to not answer the communication request.
After a few seconds, the alarm-like sound was stopped, only to be replaced with a short message.
[I am General Max of the American Confederation. Whoever you are, whether you are Rus Imperial or Red Faction, we are looking for someone like you. Come to New Washington, and we will provide all of your needs, join us.]
"...."
Viktor fell into silence, just as expected, that communication brought nothing but trouble for him.
"Hey, Jessie, do you know who this man is?"
"Of course, everyone knows about him. He\'s the new warlord that is currently taking over the eastern parts of America. You better not get entangled in such matters, trust me."
He couldn\'t agree more with that sentiment.
A moment after the alarm stopped, it turned on again. This time, it was from someone in Germany, and right as it stopped another message went through from China.
Viktor decided not to answer any of them, and even Jessie who was excited for the ranking before has realized what the problem is.
She realized that getting entangled in any faction\'s business would mean bad news that could result to bring more problems. Another series of beeping sounds came from the pillar\'s cube, and seeing the communication notification from Italy, only reminded her of that fact.
[I am communicating as a representative from the office of the Holy One. Your achievement is a godsend in such a turbulent time. We would like to congratulate you on your success and hope you have some time to meet the cardinal in person. Let us work together and find a way to get through this apocalypse together.]
Jessie shook her head, her eyes telling a glimpse of a story from her past that she wished to keep secret, while Viktor nodded in agreement. He turned around with a flair and a smile on his lips, before announcing to the seemingly tired group members.
"Let\'s check out the reward!"
The announcement made the group stand up and cheer. Even Liza tried to come closer and see the cube, eager to see the reward.
Viktor accessed the main menu of the stone panel again, and this time he chose the first option.
[Collect prize]
Right afterwards, a series of notifications appeared in his mind from the bracelets.
[Congratulations, you are entitled to receive a prize in accordance to your completion rank]
[The group battle rank result is A+.]
[Processing….]
[You receive 10,000 spirit stone credit]
[Congratulations for successfully completing the mission in the first opportunity]
[Reward has been doubled, received 10,000 spirit stone credit]
[Your personal success ranking is A+.]
[Processing….]
[You receive 10,000 spirit stone credit]
[Congratulations for successfully completing the mission in the first opportunity]
[Reward has been doubled, received 10,000 spirit stone credit]
Viktor read each line of the notification with happiness reflected in his eyes, and the same could be seen on the companions. It was as if they were no longer tired, as they were impatient to spend their hard-earned points to get something good.
For a moment, Viktor wondered where the spirit stones would come from. As if reading his mind, Jessie explained to him that spirit stone credit has the same worth as normal white spirit stones, it\'s just that it could only be used to purchase items within any of the pillars.
The notification meant he received around 40.000 spirit stones, while everyone else mostly received 20.000 spirit stones from the group battle reward. Except for Jessie as she had taken a similar challenge before, means that Jessie not only didn\'t get the bonus, her total points had even received a 50% penalty.
Viktor can see the number of spirit stone credits each of them received, both from the group reward and the personal reward.
Liza :10,000 plus 20,000 : 30,000
Tori 6000 plus 20,000 : 26,000
Boris 6000 plus 20,000 : 26,000
Kosta 4000 plus 20,000 : 24,000
Barry 4000 plus 20,000 : 24,000
Eva 2000 plus 20,000 : 22,000
Jessie 1000 plus 5,000 : 6,000
The addition looked small, but it was still a pretty decent amount, and with this everyone was no longer poor.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, and some of them eyed the cubes eagerly, unable to wait to use the credits to buy something good.
However, before they could leave and spend their hard-earned spirit stones, Each of them received a notification, as to what appeared in Viktor\'s mind:
[You can choose your special reward]
[an Artifacts or a Battle Art]
[Wuuthrad - Battleaxe - tier 4]
The legendary hero Ysgrammor was remembered for his deeds of leading 500 of his most trusted companions to war against the Snow Elves who had massacred their people. It is said that Ysgrammor wept for the dead with ebony tears, which his son collected and used to forge Wuuthrad.
[36 Fist of the North Star - A rank - hand to hand combat technique]
This is an ancient, 3000-year-old secret martial arts style that allows the practitioner to destroy an opponent\'s body from within by using the knowledge to strike their channeling points. Those killed with this technique often face a violent and gruesome death.
The manual included 4 stages of the basic body tempering techniques, how to sense and see the secret channeling points, and the movements techniques needed to execute the skill correctly.
The pillars gave him a difficult choice as if it knew what exactly he needed at this point.
Viktor stared at the rewards in clear irritation before he sighed and muttered.
"Why can\'t I just get both of them? Didn\'t I manage to break all the established records? Dammit, stingy pillars!"
