Dragon's Origin

Chapter 80: Do You Qualify? (Part 1)

The silver assassin's badge represents at least a level three assassin, and at most level five. In other words, these five badges mean that Wang Sheng killed at least five level three assassins, or even higher-level assassins.

When did such a rising star appear in the assassin world, actually killing so many fellow assassins? Everyone looked at these five badges with shock in their eyes.

The burly man was so frightened that his legs went weak, but no one laughed out loud. Everyone just stared dumbfounded at Wang Sheng, who was sitting across from that older woman, this unremarkable ordinary person.

Some discerning people had already guessed Wang Sheng's identity, but at least half of the people were still making a fuss. How could an ordinary person who didn't seem special be able to produce more than thirty assassin badges, including five silver ones?

The moment the five silver assassin badges appeared, the scene fell silent. The clerk was smart, immediately picking up the five assassin badges and calling four colleagues. Each took one and quickly went to the back to check the records before bringing them to the front.

Three level three assassins, one level four assassin, and one level five assassin. The combined score directly made Wang Sheng a level four assassin. You must know that the score difference between each level is tenfold. One-tenth of a level five assassin's score is enough for Wang Sheng to become a level four assassin, and adding so many other scores is more than enough.

"Big Brother, you are the first person I've seen in all my years who has leveled up to level four right after registering." The older woman who handled the registration unconsciously changed her address from 'Little Brother' to 'Big Brother,' adding a touch of familiarity. Coming from her mouth as a clerk, it gave people a sense of authoritative certification, definitely not ordinary.

Wang Sheng hesitated, wondering if he should take out the cyan assassin badge he got from Tang Ao. He believed that the moment that badge appeared, Wang Sheng could instantly reach level five. However, it would also draw more attention to Tang Ao's death, burdening him with the reputation of killing a fifth-realm master. He wondered if that would be beneficial to him.

While Wang Sheng was still weighing his options, the older woman thought Wang Sheng was also shocked. She didn't point it out, and said with a smile, "However, you can't get the badge today. You have to wait two or three days. It takes time to make the badge."

The burly man whose legs had gone weak finally got up. Everyone had seen the scene of his legs going weak, and at this moment, the burly man's face was flushed red. He wanted to say something but didn't know if he should, or even dared to. He stood there blankly, trying to shrink his body to reduce his presence.

After experiencing that scene, the burly man finally learned a little bit of intelligence, understanding the principle that trouble often comes from speaking too much. He didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. Sometimes, life often teaches some people a lesson, letting them learn to be humble, or at least learn to shut up even if they don't learn humility.

"What are the benefits of a high level?" Wang Sheng suddenly asked.

"The benefits are huge." The older woman was happy to chat with Wang Sheng, who looked like he had a promising future, and enthusiastically introduced, "Not to mention anything else, you can get a discount when buying things at Yu Bao Zhai and Bao Qing Yu Tang. If you want to buy a house in the inner city, you have to be at least level six. Some things, you can't buy even if you have gold coins. You have to have a level to buy the corresponding things."

"These are just the smallest benefits you can enjoy in the city. At a high level, the price is naturally different." The older woman said excitedly, beaming with joy, "Some time ago, an eighth-level senior went out for a trip. Remember, just a trip, without taking any action. Do you know what the price was?"

Wang Sheng shook his head. Among the onlookers, at least half of them also shook their heads. The price of an eighth-level assassin was estimated to be a drool-worthy number.

"This is not a secret. It's a publicly posted task." Seeing this, everyone was even happier, looking like they were answering questions and dispelling doubts, putting on a gossipy appearance, stretching out five fingers and waving them in front of everyone, almost shouting, very proudly and loudly saying, "Fifty thousand, fifty thousand gold coins! Just for going out for a trip."

Wow, everyone was in an uproar. Fifty thousand gold coins for going out for a trip, at most answering a few questions or looking at something. Wasn't this gold coin too easy to earn?

How many low-level assassins were still running their legs off and racking their brains for a one or two gold coin task? People were earning tens of thousands of times their income just by going out for a trip and moving their mouths. People really couldn't be compared to each other.

"Tempted, right? Big Brother!" The older woman was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. Just one price made everyone let out that envious sound, and it was said from her mouth, naturally giving her the air of a news spokesperson. Of course, she probably didn't even know what a news spokesperson was.

"Indeed!" Wang Sheng nodded. The benefits of a high level were obvious. However, Wang Sheng still had some concerns, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Big Sister, for someone like me, who doesn't accumulate points one task at a time, but calculates points based on these assassin badges, will others recognize this level?"

In Wang Sheng's view, upgrading directly with assassin badges was simply cheating. Worry-Free City might recognize this level of cheating, but would those who issued the tasks also recognize it? If those people didn't recognize it, wouldn't it be all for naught?

"Recognize! Of course, they recognize!" The older woman looked like it was a matter of course, very certainly answering, "No matter how you get the points, that's your ability. If you can get this score, it means you have the ability to get this score. Moreover, isn't this score only taking one-tenth? If you don't have the ability, can you produce so many assassin badges?"

These words made many people agree. Everyone recognized the rules of Worry-Free City, and naturally also recognized the level brought by this rule.

"Besides, you're only level four." Guessing Wang Sheng's concerns, the older woman immediately enlightened, "This is not a high level in Worry-Free City. You don't even have the qualification to enter the inner city to buy a place to stay. If you want to upgrade as soon as possible, you have to work harder!"

"That's right!" Wang Sheng also understood. Since he came to Worry-Free City, he should try his best to strive for a high starting point. Otherwise, it would be time-consuming and laborious to slowly grind his way up, which was not what Wang Sheng wanted.

"Ah!" Wang Sheng sighed. The more he thought about how he didn't have the chance to search the bodies of so many fifth-realm masters to see if he could find a few assassin badges, the more regretful Wang Sheng felt. "Missing so many high-level guys is such a waste!"

Just when everyone was confused by Wang Sheng's words, Wang Sheng's hand once again reached into that seemingly simple package. In everyone's expectant gaze, he took out a cyan assassin badge.
