311: Job change task completed

Gu Qinghan gritted his teeth fiercely. In the end, he could have slowly worn down his opponent without using Giants Grasp.

However, only by doing so could he somewhat release the indignation in his heart.

The witch beside him swallowed, muttering softly:

"Over 300,000 vitality, just killed like that..."

Suddenly, she saw Gu Qinghan looking at her coldly and immediately shut her mouth.

Gu Qinghan took a deep breath and first collected Torres's corpse.

He still hadn't figured out the vitality issue and could only address it later.

As his strength increased, Gu Qinghan felt that there were more and more things he wanted to know.

What was the truth of this game?

Would the dragon in the prophecy truly awaken?

What was the purpose of the Auction House? If the Masked Man wanted to kill him, why would he sell him powerful items and equipment?

Many other questions were entangled like a messy ball of yarn.

With too many things he wanted to know, Gu Qinghan could only put them aside for now.

What he could do at present was continuously improve his strength to cope with the dangers that would come in the future.

"Fortunately, Torres is truly dead this time."

Gu Qinghan watched Torres's name on the leaderboard darken, even showing signs of gradually fading.

At the same time, Gu Qinghan finally received the notification that his class advancement quest was complete:

["Class Advancement Quest: Purge the Traitors" completed. You are about to obtain the class "Gatekeeper of the Underworld"]

When he received this notification, Gu Qinghan's expression changed slightly.

He had asked Piao Jun before, and Piao Jun had directly obtained the Spirit Thief class after completing his class advancement quest.

But why was his class advancement so special, requiring an additional process?

Recalling when he obtained the Necromancer class, that huge black light mass also seemed out of place compared to the golden ones.

Just then, a jade gate appeared before Gu Qinghan.

Looking closely, one would notice that this gate seemed to be forged from the bones of some creature.

However, the bones flowed with a jade-like luster, making it less terrifying and more dreamlike.

Moreover, the colors of these bones were not entirely uniform. Gu Qinghan counted, and there were actually six different colors.

"White, symbolizing the power of bones; quietgreen, symbolizing the power of souls... Purple should represent the power of poison; black represents Death Qi... Red must represent the power of blood, and that constantly changing, indescribable color should be curses?"

Gu Qinghan looked at the gate, already having a guess in his heart.

He glanced at the witch beside him and said:

"You take your people back first. Just give me a teleportation scroll.

Once I'm done with my business, I'll go back and pick up Uncle Dave."

The witch nodded, but then took out a storage ring and handed it to Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan glanced inside; there were at least a hundred teleportation scrolls.

"These are all for you. You're welcome to visit anytime.

I'm not as wealthy as you, otherwise I'd give you more.

Please remember, Phoenix will always be your friend."

The witch's voice was sincere, and these items were clearly prepared in advance.

Gu Qinghan thought about it and did not refuse her kindness.

The witch humbled herself, aiming to express sufficient goodwill.

She didn't even ask Gu Qinghan for a single teleportation scroll but gave him a hundred of her own scrolls.

If Gu Qinghan had malicious intentions and brought over a hundred experts, Phoenix would be shooting itself in the foot.

Of course, both knew that such a thing would not happen.

Because if Gu Qinghan truly had designs on Phoenix, he wouldn't need to bring anyone; he could turn the place upside down by himself.

Transferring everything from the storage ring into his necromantic space, Gu Qinghan also handed over a storage ring with a smile, saying:

"Alright, you're welcome to visit my territory in the future as well."

"I'll definitely go if I get the chance. For now, it's better to focus on improving my strength."

The witch nodded seriously, watching Gu Qinghan step into the gate.

As Gu Qinghan left, the witch suddenly felt her feet lose ground and began to fall towards the surface.

After a brief moment of panic, the witch immediately reacted.

Red energy appeared around her, completely enveloping her body.

Then, her descent speed sharply slowed, and she steadily landed on the ground.

She let out a sigh of relief, but showed no signs of anger.

Because Gu Qinghan had also given her a storage ring just now, and she didn't need to think to know it definitely contained teleportation scrolls!

He must have sensed her goodwill and was willing to provide Phoenix with a fallback.

Although the witch had never seen Gu Qinghan's forces, she subconsciously felt they would be far stronger than Phoenix's.

She checked the storage ring with a smile, then her smile gradually froze.

First, a short staff appeared in her hand, the very one Gu Qinghan had used when disguised.

Then, a scroll appeared in her hand, a scroll that could teleport someone to Whale Fall City.

But these two items were all that was in the ring Gu Qinghan gave her!

"Stingy guy, I thought there'd be at least ten or so..."

The witch pouted, muttering to herself somewhat annoyed.

However, she wasn't truly angry. She quickly put away the two items and walked towards the direction of the open space in her memory.

After walking for a while, she saw the Phoenix members.

"How is everyone? No one was injured, right?"

The witch counted the number of people, relieved to find it was the same as when they arrived.

During the previous campaign against Torres, quite a few people had been lost. Their ability to retreat unscathed this time was mainly due to Gu Qinghan's strength.

She looked at these people, whose expressions still showed some excitement, organized her words, and said:

"Tommy sacrificed himself when he and I were chasing Torres just now..."

"Don't hide it from us, that Tommy must be Gu Han, right?"

Suddenly, the uncle impersonating Gu Qinghan spoke, causing the witch's expression to falter for a moment.

"Yeah, I was just about to say the same thing," several people immediately echoed.

"You all..."

The witch was a bit speechless. She didn't know how to continue the topic.

Thinking about it carefully, Gu Qinghan's acting was actually fine, and their conversation was quiet enough.

Uncle Gap-tooth laughed heartily, took a sip of water, and said:

"During the battle just now, I was wondering why an uncomfortable aura often appeared around me.

Thinking about it on the way here, that aura was very similar to what Gu Han gives us.

Although he was also using Holy Light Bullets, when he used Holy Light Retribution, there was clearly one less than before."
