Chapter 153: Chapter 153

If they didn’t know now, they eventually would. The information on the blueprint indicated that they needed to have their own territory, but they didn’t even understand what territory was. So they decided to keep it in storage for now.

"Wristwatch, continue the inquiry, about the advancement task."

This advancement task was something that Xi Qianxue had mentioned before they left, claiming it was the reason for their strategic plan.

Previously, they didn’t have such information on their wristwatch, so they had to come out and conduct more investigation. Since Xi Qianxue was able to share such information, there was no reason it couldn’t be found in the Magic Network.

Suddenly, a message appeared: "Located 344 authoritative articles, starting to filter."

Shortly after, the screening was completed, whittling down the number of articles to only a few after several rounds of selection.

"So many people have been discussing this," Du You opened an article and began to investigate. "So, this is what an advancement task is, how interesting."

Du You read some information in the article, but it felt like something was being concealed.

Du You could make out that these explanations were intended for Awakeners like them.

Awakeners can only reach up to ten levels, which meant they could only advance to Tier 10. Once they reached full Tier 10, they could no longer advance. It was a fundamental rule.

If they wanted to continue advancing, merely relying on Crystal Coins was not viable. At this point, there were two methods for further advancement.

The simplest one was to challenge higher tiered creatures. If they could kill a creature of the next tier, they could break free from their current tier and directly advance to a Tier 11 Professional.

However, such level-jumping challenges were risky, and ordinary people could most likely not complete it. After all, Awakeners could only use Awakener-tier equipment and weaponry, and ones of higher tiers were not permissible.

This was one of the hidden rules that they couldn’t resist.

The other method was to complete an advancement task. The article in question had an in-depth analysis of this process.

Advancement tasks were divided into two types. The first type required finding a Tier 2 world. After entering the world, a task would automatically be assigned. Completing it would allow them to advance.

However, tasks assigned by Tier 2 worlds were often very complicated and cumbersome, and they would sometimes encounter troublesome Tier 2 elites. Therefore, the risks and uncertainties were quite large.

Many would perish due to failing these tasks. The problem was that these tasks had to be completed single-handedly; any help from others could likely be detected and lead to failure.

The second method was to find a Tier 1 Derived World. But the world had to be large, not too small. If it was too small, it would not be suitable to assign advancement tasks.

Advancement tasks in Tier 1 worlds were often related to the overall situation of the world. It could be to change the situation, eliminate a force, or potentially unify forces. The tasks were generally more relaxed compared to Tier 2, as long as they could resolve the task, there would be no issues. These tasks were usually designed for teams.

Whoever participated in such a task could advance, regardless of their initial position within the team.

However, different levels of participation and contributions would lead to different evaluations. If one’s evaluation was too low, their star level might be reduced. Performing poorly could have severe consequences.

These types of tasks were undoubtedly safer, and life-threatening situations were uncommon.

That was the reason why Xi Qianxue and her superior started their grand scheme from the very beginning. It was a long-term plan aimed to utilize the world’s layout to their advantage during advancement.

"What a brilliant idea," Du You smirked. "I might also need to take advantage of such a world to advance."

Even though advancement tasks cannot increase one’s star level, they can potentially decrease it, so they had to be cautious.

"However, there’s quite a big gap between their levels and mine. Is it possible that they have a way to rapidly level up and catch up with me? Surely they don’t expect me to wait around for them. In that case, it would be better for me to slay formidable beasts."

After all, as long as they slay many and high-level threats, their star level would not decrease. This better idea for advancement would be to kill above their level. Generally, killing above their level would not decrease their star level. For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

As Du You continued reading the article, he found that the rest of it was quite repetitive, recording some examples and analyses which could help others come up with their plans inside Tier 1 worlds.

It seemed that these experts also advocated for planning within a world of the same level.

"It’s about time to leave," Du You took out a cloak and wrapped himself with it. He selected a mask to wear, which, this time, was a White-faced Ghost.

After packing, Du You silently ordered a self-driving car, heading towards the downtown area. Instead of going to the Derived World, he planned to visit the auction house.

At the Lin Family in downtown, Lin Feng was shaking his mother’s arm back and forth.

"Mom, let me go to Capital University. Going to those mundane schools would be so embarrassing."

"Hmph, with your 3-star rating, are you aspiring to be something? Changing from a Semi-Awakened to an Awakener and you think Capital University will admit you?"

Lin Feng’s mother wasn’t satisfied to hear this. "Why can’t our child be anything great, isn’t my child also your child? Doesn’t Capital University have certain places that can be purchased every year? Let his second brother mobilize some resources. Hasn’t his second brother been in the student union for a long time and he can’t even handle such a small matter?"

"You, well alright, even if he goes there, what’s next? Every single one of them is stronger than him, is he going there to be looked down upon?"

"Why wouldn’t they like it? As long as you give me that thing, to increase two star levels, wouldn’t it be fine?"

"You have the nerve to speak, do you know how precious that thing is? Can it be casually used? If you use it, what about the others? Moreover, using it on you is a waste."

Lin Feng’s mother was unwilling to concede, "How is it a waste? Using it on our own child is waste, but using it on others is not? "

"It’s the wealth of the family, not something that I can decide to distribute on my own. Do you understand the cost of getting that thing!"

"I don’t care, if you don’t care about your child, I will take our child and return to my mother’s home, and never return."
