Virus King - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: SSS-Rank Quest – Ultimate Investment!

TL: Yang

The terrifying zombies once again surged forward in a coordinated onslaught.

However, Chen Bai no longer had the slightest interest in them.

At this moment, all his thoughts were fixated on the item just now!

Indeed, the reason he’d put so much effort into coming to Jiangcheng University in search of this figure was for this Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll!

Every person could only have a single profession!

That was common knowledge!

But an item capable of breaking this rule?

That was enough to drive anyone mad!

Dual Profession!

To possess two professions at once was the same as gaining the growth attributes of both.

Ordinarily, an S-Rank profession provided a growth attribute gain of no less than 15 points with each level up!

Additionally, free attribute points were raised to a high of 10 points!

Profession and talent were the most critical factors in determining the initial strength of an Evolver!

That meant 25 attribute points!

And with two professions, assuming both were S-Rank, each level-up would yield a full 50 attribute points!

What kind of concept was that!?

A single level-up could bring more enhancement than leveling up ten times in a low-tier profession!

Not to mention that with two professions, one could access twice the number of profession-exclusive skills and abilities.

They could all stack!

The Dual-Profession Scroll—an unquestionably SSS-Rank rare item.

It seemed that when this item was created, Redo himself hadn’t anticipated its overpowered effects. And to make matters worse, it could only be used before level ten and prior to any profession transfer.

Otherwise, Redo himself likely would have used it long ago or sold it off to one of the other gods, who must have been eagerly eyeing it.

Now, after rebirth, Chen Bai finally had a chance to touch this thing!

This Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll, along with a special profession he’d only heard the name of yet found chilling to even imagine, had become Chen Bai’s primary goals in the early stages of the apocalypse!

But the difficulty of acquiring this item had already become apparent.

His SSS-Rank talent, Virus Sovereign, was merely a key to gain access to the quest!

With this in mind, Chen Bai swept aside the zombies crowding around him. Then, with a swift leap, he landed in an open space.

It was only then that he turned his attention to the first quest he’d received.

And it wasn’t from a quest scroll but was instead a special quest given to him personally by a god!

[Ultimate Investment (SSS-Rank Quest)]

[Quest Description: If you wish to receive the investment of the sharpest, greatest, and most noble God of Goblins and Trade, you’ll need to prove your worth! Talent alone is just the key, but your own abilities are the foundation for gaining Redo’s trust!]

[Quest Objective: Find the hidden dungeon instance in Jiangcheng University, defeat a creature significant enough to capture Redo’s attention, and deliver part of its body to Redo!]

(PS: This quest will automatically fail if your level exceeds ten or after a profession transfer!)

[Quest Reward: Unlock the second phase of the ‘Ultimate Investment’ quest. Redo’s favorability will increase, and you may choose one item, equipment, or skill book from Redo’s trade list not exceeding B-Rank!]

Eh!?

As expected, this god of trade was indeed the fairest among the deities.

The phased quest even came with rewards for each stage!

Nothing above B-Rank, meaning items, equipment, or skills at B-Rank or lower!

At the beginning of the apocalypse, such grades were already considered incredibly rare!

Now fully prepared, Chen Bai withdrew his gaze.

It was time to find an activated dungeon within this massive Jiangcheng University campus!

A dungeon he hadn’t even heard rumors of in his previous life!

This was the first time since his rebirth that he encountered an event beyond his control!

But instead of frustration or annoyance, Chen Bai was filled with excitement!

Only like this could he continue to surpass himself, continue to grow stronger!

If everything followed the path he’d anticipated, then his knowledge would be trapped within the confines of his own limitations!

However, recalling Redo’s previous hints, Chen Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Could it be related to his talent?!

Could it be that some of Jiangcheng University’s labs studying microorganisms and bacterial viruses held the answer?

But did Jiangcheng University even have such facilities?

Chen Bai wasn’t sure, but it wouldn’t stop him from narrowing down a possible location!

Within the university, places that might connect to his Virus Sovereign ability would either be the university’s affiliated hospital not far off-campus, or the medical school right here on campus.

However, his memories of his past life had grown hazy, and most importantly, he hadn’t been an Evolver when he was here at Jiangcheng University, so the details were vague.

He roughly remembered where the medical department was located, but to claim he knew anything specific about it would be an outright lie!

Fortunately, even though Chen Bai was unsure, this vast Jiangcheng University campus now had no shortage of students!

His gaze swept around, and soon, he focused on the gymnasium not far away.

When he’d been searching for the God of Trade earlier, he’d noticed the gym was sealed off tightly, with the entrance locked from the inside—an obvious difference from the areas overrun by zombies.

It likely meant there were students gathered inside!

With this in mind, Chen Bai started making his way toward the gym.

However, as he approached the main entrance, a cacophony of noise erupted from within!

The sounds of shouting and cursing poured out, and most notably, much of it wasn’t in the language of the Dragon Nation!

Chen Bai’s brow furrowed slightly.

Infighting—a fundamental flaw of human nature.

Not just at Jiangcheng University but across every refuge in Jiangcheng City, scenes like this were unfolding!

In the wake of the apocalypse, with the world’s order shattered and the inner demons of humanity unleashed, humans had proven to be more terrifying than the zombies!

At this moment, however, a fierce killing intent surged within Chen Bai!

For even before he could knock on the gym’s door, the voices inside had already reached his ears clearly!

“F*ck! You people, you Dragon Nation folks, it’s you who should go out and fetch the food! There’s too damn many of you from Dragon Nation, turning into all these cursed creatures! If it weren’t for that, we wouldn’t be trapped here…”
