Chapter 17: The Abyss!

  "Abyssal Ring F-level permission unlocked, formal contractor qualification acquired, Guide 01314 reporting to you!"

  A cold voice came from the "angel"'s mouth, and Lin Chen finally found the source of this voice.

  "Survival time has been distributed, merit points have been distributed, please check."

  The guide's delicate features were expressionless, like a machine, cold and devoid of any signs of life!

  Lin Xun's right hand moved, and the guide followed suit, moving with it. He stretched out his hand and touched it, directly passing through the guide's illusory body!

  "It was just a projection..."

  Lin Xuan muttered to himself in a low voice.

  "Yes, so far I am just a projection."

  Unexpectedly, the guide could understand his words and also made a response!

  (By the way, the voice from before said that after obtaining the formal contractor qualification, details can be inquired with the guide.)

  "What's the use of this merit point?"

  The extra reward for the S-level evaluation sounds like nothing ordinary, and the entire trial task was truly a terrifying nightmare. Nine people, in the end only Lin Chen survived!

  "A little merit point can learn a universal skill. In addition, the merit points can be used to upgrade the authority of the Abyssal Ring and cannot be traded!"

  Lin Xun had gradually become accustomed to the mechanical coldness of the guide, and didn't think much of it. Following the information revealed in her words, he asked: "What are the permissions of the Abyssal Ring? What is a universal skill? Are there other skills?"

  "The Abyssal Seal is the identity certificate of the contractor, and all rights enjoyed by the contractor in the Abyss must be obtained through the Abyssal Seal. The higher the authority of the Abyssal Seal, the higher the rights and treatment enjoyed by the contractor."

  "Universal skills are shared by contractors after changing jobs, and more skills can be learned after changing jobs, with no limit on the number."

  The guide answered clearly and one by one, easy to understand.

  However, Lin Xun's doubts in his heart did not decrease, but instead increased...

  He rubbed his temples, which were aching slightly, and Lin Xuan continued to ask: "I'm currently at F-level clearance, what kind of privileges can I enjoy? What about after leveling up? And what is job transfer?"

  Since there was a ready-made question and answer machine, Lin Chen didn't bother to waste his brain cells thinking about it, so he asked directly, but now he's a bit annoyed that he didn't bring a notebook with him.

  The blood light just now not only healed his injuries but also cleaned and repaired his clothes, truly an all-around repair.

  But this repair was awesome and didn't even help him conjure up a laptop.

  "F-level privileges, enjoy Deep F-level auction, entertainment, residence, attribute store and other functions. As the privileges are upgraded, the level of functions enjoyed will be correspondingly improved and more perfect."

  "When the contractor's physical quality reaches a certain requirement, or after awakening their instincts, they can change occupations. The occupation is divided into three major categories: auxiliary system, close combat system, and long-range system, with 24 branches."

  Lin Xuan had a feeling of playing an online game, but the time limit and the blood of the eight quasi-contractors were constantly reminding him that even if this was a game, it was a deadly one!

  If you don't have fun, it's death!

  "Instinct Awakening? What requirements does physical quality need to meet in order to change jobs?"

  Lin Chen had just checked the time limit, and his survival time was increased by ten days before five hours and forty-eight minutes!

  Although there is still a bit of an tightrope-walking illusion, at least it's not as urgent as before, giving Lin Chen enough time to figure out this so-called abyss.

  "Inside every person, there is an innate ability that can be triggered by various dangers and crises. This innate ability, also known as talent, varies from person to person. Some have sharp intuition, some are precise in calculation, and some remain absolutely calm... The awakened instinct is the awakened talent!"

  "When one of the physical attributes reaches twice that of a normal person, you can choose to change occupations."

  Awakening Instinct...

  Lin Xun's heart stirred, and he suddenly thought of that strange state he had experienced before. He immediately asked, "Then has my instinct awakened?"

  "The Contractor's Instinct has Awakened."

  The guide's voice was still icy cold, but at this moment it sounded sweet to Lin Chen's ears, matching her perfect appearance!

  The joy in his heart lasted for a while, and Lin Chen slowly calmed down, realizing that his awakening was just a sign of his ability to change jobs, nothing more.

  "Can I inquire about my physical condition?"

  "Within the scope of authority, query is allowed, start scanning the contractor's body..."

  "Scan complete, physical data processing..."

  "Data collection complete! The contractor's physical attributes are as follows:"

  Strength: 9 (10)

  Agility: 11 (10)

  Spirit: 15 (10)

  Energy: 0 (0).

  "Note: The values in parentheses are the average for a normal adult male at 30 years old, rounded to the nearest whole number!"

  "Note: The four basic attributes are not independent and have a necessary connection between each other. When one item is strengthened, the other three items can be passively strengthened!"

  (My power is slightly lower than that of a normal person, but it's normal for me. Agility and endurance are around average, floating within the normal range. Energy value is also normal... But why is my spirit nearly 50% higher than that of a normal person? Is it because...)

  Lin Xun's mind was turning with thoughts, and he subconsciously asked: "What is the connection between the four attributes?"

  "Varies from person to person, with complex formula calculations involved in each conversion, conforming to biological science standards."

  "For example, the contractor will strengthen the agility item to twenty points, and the maximum movement speed per second can reach twenty meters. The strength will also be increased to around thirteen to fifteen points to ensure that muscle intensity can burst at this speed."

  "While muscle strength is enhanced, the contractor's metabolism becomes more robust and some excess energy is produced, although it is a negligible value."

  The guide answered meticulously, without any sign of annoyance at being questioned.

  Lin Xuan nodded, this point is in line with reality, unlike a simple online game.

  "How to improve physical fitness?"

  "There are two ways for Contractors to enhance themselves: one is through self-cultivation, which slowly enhances their abilities until they reach the limits of human potential, after which they can purchase special training methods from the Abyss."

  "2. You can also spend survival time to buy it directly in the attribute store! Please go to the attribute store for specific prices."

  "Are there other ways to strengthen oneself besides attributes and occupational skills? For example, various fantasy bloodlines, sci-fi weapons, and mystical weapons?"

  "Except for Bloodline, other equipment can be purchased with time in the Abyss."

  "Note: Bloodline strengthening requires self-exploration!"

  Can't reinforce blood lineage?...

  "Where am I now? Besides the Abyssal Ring's permission, is there a storage function?"

  "The contractor is currently in a private room and no one is allowed to enter without permission."

  "F-level Abyssal Ring comes with a one cubic meter vacuum space, can be used by concentrating the mind, spending time or upgrading permissions to expand the space."

  Lin Chen couldn't help but look at the guide with a curious expression. If he hadn't suddenly asked a question, this guy might not have said anything.

  Concentrating his mind and shifting his attention to the Abyssal Ring, Lin Dust almost effortlessly sensed a cubic space of one cubic meter, enough to hold quite a few things!

  After awakening his innate talent, Lin Chen's mental strength became extremely sharp and concentrated, almost without any effort!

  His talent lies in spiritual aspects, or rather, his talent is the Evil Eye of Instant Death!

  When the last slash killed the vengeful spirit that had slaughtered eight quasi-contractors, Lin Chen had already confirmed that he had awakened this ability, known as the divine-killing Straight Death Evil Eye!

  And he can see the blind spot!

  Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can see the "death" of things, receiving the concept of "death", which has no physical form, as visual information.

  In the eyes of a person with the "Death's Gaze" ability, lines and points that resemble scribbles appear on the surface of objects. The lines represent "lines that can easily split and destroy objects", while the points represent "the death of things".

  The cutting line can be seen without effort, but the cutting point must be focused and concentrated to see. The cutting line has no distinction between soft and hard, and any hard object can be cut along the cutting line with little effort.
