150: Invitation

“Since we are the same type of people, then I am naturally willing to join,” Li Changkong nodded readily, directly agreeing to the matter.

Upon hearing Li Changkong, the Deputy General naturally showed a trace of a smile on his face.

After the previous battle, he could also see that Li Changkong was definitely a Genius-level existence.

If he could bring this Genius into his fold, it would undoubtedly bring him countless benefits.

“Don’t worry, joining our Black Fiend Organization will only benefit you, with no harm whatsoever,” the Deputy General continued, seemingly to put Li Changkong more at ease.

“By the way, how many people from our organization do we have here now? I’m actually a bit curious about that,” Li Changkong looked at the Deputy General and asked, puzzled.

“There are about fifteen, most of whom are mid-level generals, and the highest Rank is probably me,” the Deputy General continued, his words exuding pride.

After all, it was already a very difficult task to infiltrate all these people into the enemy's Ranks.

“So what should I do next?” Li Changkong continued to ask.

After a slight pause for thought, he gave his answer: “We can first exchange contact information. If anything comes up later, I can contact you immediately.”

Hearing this, Li Changkong felt even more relieved.

He was worried that the other side would ask him to submit a 'letter of allegiance,' which he certainly couldn't produce.

It was clear that the other side was indeed very short on people.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so impatient to find him, not even having thoroughly investigated his background.

As he spoke, the Deputy General took out a waist token from hisPregnant and handed it to Li Changkong.

“This is a token that members of our Black Fiend Organization use to identify each other. This is my token; you take it first, and I will apply for my own later.”

“If anyone in the organization doesn’t recognize you then, you can show them this waist token.”

As he spoke, the Deputy General had already placed the waist token in front of Li Changkong.

Looking at the waist token in front of him, Li Changkong didn't hesitate much and took it.

This thing was actually useful; if he was lucky, it might even save his life.

The entire waist token looked very exquisite, and besides some ornate patterns, the two large characters for 'darkness' were in the very center.

After receiving the waist token, Li Changkong immediately put it into his storage space.

This item should not be shown to others casually.

If seen by an uninformed person, they might think something else of him.

Once he was mistaken for someone from the Black Fiend Organization, he might never be able to turn his life around.

After saying these words, the Deputy General then led Li Changkong away.

Soon, they had arrived at a resting room.

Regarding this matter, Li Changkong thought about it and decided not to report it for now.

After all, it was not a small matter, and if he reported it, he might encounter trouble.

Moreover, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better; he could completely obtain more information from them later.

After resting there for half a day, they were all ready to return.

This time, they had mostly accomplished their strategic objectives.

Soon, they had left this Small World. In Li Changkong's opinion, he had indeed gained many benefits.

If he could make good use of these things, it would definitely be of great help to him.

After returning to the school, Li Changkong first upgraded the Tianzi Sword to the Gold Rank.

During this time, the Tianzi Sword had been of immense help to him.

In the previous battles, he also felt that this Tianzi Sword became easier to use the more he used it.

And after the Tianzi Sword was upgraded to the Gold Rank, it truly did not disappoint Li Changkong.

Once it entered the Gold Rank, its overall attributes saw a significant increase.

The extent of this increase even exceeded his expectations.

Each attribute basically doubled or more.

Although it was just ordinary Gold equipment, both its basic attributes and its skills surpassed those of typical Dark Gold equipment.

Upon seeing these equipment attributes, Li Changkong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, such equipment attributes meant his efforts weren't in vain.

However, it was a pity that no new skills were Awakened.

Otherwise, that would have been a truly massive gain.

The next problem he faced was the continued upgrade of the Tianzi Sword to the Dark Gold Rank.

Upgrading the Tianzi Sword further was not that simple; first, he had to complete subsequent quests.

During this outing, his Rank also increased by one.

Although it wasn't a huge increase, for Li Changkong, it was already quite good.

He estimated that in a while, his Rank should be able to reach Rank 40.

Once his Rank reached Rank 40, many of his equipment and skills could be refreshed.

Although he already had enough skills on him, he still felt they were somewhat insufficient.

Especially after coming into contact with those dark skills, he wanted to learn more of them.

However, before that, he definitely needed to expand his skill slots first.

Otherwise, even if he had the opportunity to access those dark skills, he wouldn't be able to learn them.

For example, the Soul Fire used by the Deputy General earlier had already been learned by Li Changkong.

However, that skill, relatively speaking, was not very powerful.

If used in combat, its speed was very slow, and its effect would not be as strong as imagined.

But if used for interrogation, then this Soul Fire had a miraculous effect.

Once this Soul Fire was used, it would gradually burn the opponent's Soul, causing their health to plummet.

Moreover, it could reduce the opponent's health proportionally, by percentage.

A Rank 1 Soul Fire only had a decrease rate of about one percent per second.

But once Soul Fire reached Rank 10, it would become a ten percent decrease rate.

If it was only one percent per second, it wouldn't even be able to keep up with some bosses' health regeneration.

However, once it entered the ten percent range, that would be completely different.
