Chapter 198: Mission Complete! Dual-Profession Transfer!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai had great faith in the divine abilities of new gods and demons to learn languages in the Trial Grounds—also known as Blue Star. Therefore, when he heard a phrase spoken in a perfectly standard version of his native language, he wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

However, at this moment, Redo’s expression had become deeply unsettling.

In fact, on the face of this usually dependable God of Trade, Chen Bai caught a glimpse of terrifying killing intent.

Yet, this trace of killing intent vanished just as quickly as it appeared.

Time seemed to stretch out endlessly in that moment.

Chen Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. Even the God of Trade before him had briefly revealed murderous intent. This caused him to gain a much clearer understanding of the Abyss Overlord Transition Scroll.

At last, a sigh of resignation escaped Redo’s lips. He looked at Chen Bai with a complex expression and said:

“My dear Chen, you always manage to create miracles that I never would have anticipated. Though I’m deeply curious as to how you passed the Abyssal Trial, I must admit—you’ve once again surpassed all my expectations!

The Abyss Overlord Transition Scroll is countless times more difficult to obtain than even two SSS-Rank First-Transfer Scrolls combined. Yet, who would have thought that this profession, deemed impossible by so many, would actually come into existence—right here, right before my eyes!

The Abyss is the end of all things. If a living being were to gain mastery over such authority… But I trust that you’ll always be my friend, won’t you?”

Chen Bai was stunned. This time, he saw genuine complexity in Redo’s gaze. This Goblin God of Trade had now fully placed him on equal footing!

In this moment, he and the God of Trade were bona fide friends!?

So, Chen Bai nodded.

Then, he pointed to the contract sitting nearby and said: “We did sign a contract, after all!”

“Hahaha, that’s great! Here, take this, quick, quick! Let me see—what does this profession, which even those folks fear and covet, actually look like?!”

A scroll was tossed toward him, glowing faintly with golden light. It was none other than the Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll!

Chen Bai gave the little goblin a peculiar look.

What exactly was going through this guy’s mind?!

He had just been exuding murderous intent moments ago, and now he had completely let it go.

As if sensing Chen Bai’s gaze, Redo exclaimed excitedly:

“The Abyss! If there’s a profession and living beings to govern it, then the countless layers of the Abyss—with so many creatures—would be a golden goose for the Goblin Merchant Guild!

My dear Chen, I’ve already decided on the return I want from this investment. The Goblin Merchant Guild will establish itself within the Abyss and show those damned foolish, frenzied demons that only trade can bring mutual benefit!”

Hearing this, Chen Bai was momentarily taken aback.

Come to think of it… that logic actually made sense!?

Chen Bai knew better than anyone else how many layers there were in the Abyss.

And within those layers, how many demons lived on each one?

Though Chen Bai didn’t know the exact numbers, each Layer of the Abyss was a complete, real world. Most weren’t any smaller than the original Blue Star, and many were even far larger!

The number of demons could easily be described in the billions.

Furthermore, the Abyss contained resources and rare materials exclusive to its realm—treasures that were coveted across the myriad worlds.

If the Goblin Merchant Guild could establish itself there, the profit from transactions and trading operations would be beyond measure.

No wonder Redo was behaving so unusually.

After all, the Abyss Overlord Transition Scroll could only be used by someone who had passed the Abyssal Trial.

Even killing Chen Bai wouldn’t necessarily yield him anything.

If it were just for the Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll, Redo truly had no logical reason to act that way.

Thinking this through, Chen Bai couldn’t help but smile.

“You’ve helped me so much, after all. This small request is naturally no problem at all!”

After reviewing the contract and its terms, Chen Bai finally signed his name.

At the same time, a notification from the Cosmic Will echoed in his ears:

[SSS-level mission “Ultimate Investment” complete! You have received the mission reward: Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll!]

Under the witness of the Cosmic Will, not even the gods could pull any tricks. Chen Bai had nothing to worry about.

The profession scroll, glowing faintly with light, was finally in Chen Bai’s hands.

Redo’s small, beady eyes blinked rapidly as he gazed at Chen Bai intently.

As he had said earlier, this was the pinnacle of goblin technology and alchemy—a supreme treasure resulting from years of research. Previously, it had been kept as a trump card, hidden away at the very bottom of the treasure chest. But now, it seemed like the time to finally put it to use had come!

Redo was undoubtedly just as eager to see the results of this creation!

…

[Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll (SSS)]

[Special Item]

[The pinnacle of goblin industry and alchemical technology! This allows an Evolver to hold two professions simultaneously, with combined growth attributes! All attributes and skill bonuses are fully effective. This is the ultimate treasure of the Goblin God of Trade, Redo!]

…

Chen Bai’s hand trembled slightly as he held it!

In his previous life, this was the ultimate treasure that nearly every Evolver who had come into contact with this God of Trade dreamed of obtaining!

Professions were the foundation of an Evolver’s power and the most critical aspect of their growth. A treasure that allowed someone to possess two classes simultaneously had value and significance so great that even the gods would covet it.

And now, this legendary item was his!

[Use!]

Chen Bai exhaled deeply, trying his best to keep his voice steady. But as the scroll slowly dissolved into a glowing light, its luminous particles scattered and merged into his body, he couldn’t help but feel a flicker of nervousness.

[You have used the special item “Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll.” You can now use transition scrolls to transition into two classes!]

It worked!

Chen Bai clenched his fist tightly, and then, two transition scrolls appeared in his hands.

One was dark green, the other deep black.

Scourge of the Living and Abyss Overlord!

Chen Bai exhaled again. Under Redo’s expectant gaze, the two transition scrolls, obtained through immense effort, exploded simultaneously in that instant, merging into his body without a trace!
