Lu Kong wore an awkward yet polite smile: "With so many merit points, I'm afraid I couldn't earn enough."

But Lu Kong still kept this matter in mind. If he could get suitable artifacts in the future, that would be best of all.

If you can't hit it, you can certainly consider exchanging.

Now, with 5 achievement points in your hands, you can only exchange them for a piece of blue equipment around level 10 or a few scrolls as consumables.

These land and air assets are now naturally unusable.

He also did not choose to redeem it.

Besides relics, the list also includes things like skill books and top-tier skill stones, which are useful for both land and air.

However, high-level skill books and skill stones require a considerable amount of merit points, at least a few thousand.

Now, nothing can be exchanged in terms of land and air.

He didn't look any further.

Luo Ke retracted the exchange panel and smiled, "After that, if you gain any more marks, you can directly go to the military officer on the first floor of the Governing Hall to exchange for prestige and merit points. Similarly, there you can also exchange for what you need."

Li Kong nodded, making a note of this.

<<

Li Kong handed Luco the badge of the Mudo Clan.

Then, a string of prompts came from the system.

The reward is for the capture.

This includes 100 points of Da Wucheng reputation, two high-level skill stones, 100 gold coins, and a large amount of experience.

With the experience gained from setbacks, Lu Kong directly upgraded.

He was already at level 10, full experience. However, he couldn't advance to level 11 because he hadn't completed the advanced quest at the time.

Now that the advanced task is complete, the experience bar will no longer be stuck.

After leveling up to level ten, Lu Kong saw the system prompt and was surprised to find out.

Perhaps it's because he advanced to the King-level template, plus he's already reached the first order.

This upgrade brought extremely high attribute boosts to air and land forces.

Four basic attributes, each increased by 15 points directly, and free attribute points were given directly 30 points!

Just leveling up gave Lu Kong a 90 point stat boost!

This is better than the attribute boost from a level 10 epic piece of equipment.

As expected, the upgrade brought by a high-level template is comprehensive.

However, such attribute boosts are incredibly beneficial for the average player of the King template.

But for air and land travel, it only saves him some time.

After all, he can continuously obtain attribute stones, so he's definitely able to raise his four fundamental attributes to the limit.

So the attribute boosts from leveling up don't benefit land and air as much.

But being able to reach the limit faster is also good.

Although he was worried, Lu Kong still felt happy inside.

He casually put all 30 points of free attributes into Strength.

As for advanced skill stones, all land and air skills already require top-tier skill stones to be upgraded. Advanced skill stones can only be used on Crimson Battle Qi.

Passive Effect, all attributes +60%, lifesteal +6%.

Activating: Attack range +300%, damage +90%, defense +90%. Consumes 1 point of battle qi per minute while active.

War potential: 30 points, recovers 3 points per hour.

The buffs from the 3rd tier Crimson Battle Qi surprised both land and air forces.

Passive attributes are comparable to level 6 tenacity, and also have an additional 6% lifesteal.

Most importantly, after activating it, Lu Kong's own damage and defense almost doubled.

The boost in combat power this brings is far from a simple doubling.

Furthermore, it also comes with a 300% attack range bonus.

He himself couldn't imagine how strong he was after activating Crimson Battle Qi.

This reward is really nice... It saves him the time of grinding for high-level skill stones.

Lu Kong felt a surge of happiness in his heart and smiled at Luo Ke, saying: “Thank you, Lord Luo Ke, for your reward.”

Locke smiled faintly: “This is all you deserve.”

After a moment's pause, Locke spoke up: "Oh, by the way, there's also a wanted poster for the powerful mage Ancos inside Da Wu City. Unfortunately, no one has been able to find him so far. If you manage to kill him, there will be a more generous reward."

"Ding, mission detected: Wanted necromancer Ankos. Accept?"

Here it is then!

Lu Kong's eyes lit up, and he readily accepted.

Mission: Wanted: Necromancer Ankos

Introduction: Former Grand Master Ankos of the Great Martial City was researching the power of death within the city, causing a horrific tragedy that angered both heaven and earth. The Great Martial City is now offering a bounty on his head, and Guardian Locke hopes you can help find Ankos, dead or alive!

Note: This task is extremely difficult, it's best to bring your teammates!

Reward: 500 gold coins, experience points if any, Dahu City reputation +600, 2000 merit points, epic weapon of the same rank *1

Lukuang accepted the mission and looked at Locke, asking: "Any clues about Ankos?"

Locke pondered for a moment before speaking, "Perhaps you could begin your investigation in the areas where the undead have recently appeared. Speaking of which, I have a task for you here. There have been sightings of the Pale Covenant deep within the Azure Mountains near Da Wu City. I sent a squad of guards to investigate, but they've gone silent. I need someone to go and see what happened."

Saying this, Locke let out a slight smile and said: "Originally, I was planning to send another group of people, but since you're here, you go. We indigenous people, once we die, we really die. But you players are different, you can be resurrected even after death. This kind of dangerous mission is more suitable for you."

Land and air: "...."

Although the logic makes sense, it feels like they're calling players a suicide squad when they say it.

But according to Locke, even Lu Kong himself felt that players who could be resurrected after death were really useful.

There is danger, even if something happens, you won't really die.

Although the situation was tense, Lu Kong felt happy inside.

Just got here and already received two assignments.

Task: Investigate the Cyan Mountain Range

Introduction: There have been recent signs of activity from the Pale Order in the Azure Mountains. The guards sent by Big City to investigate have also gone missing. Guard Officer Locke hopes you can go and investigate what happened there.

Reward: Experience points, 30 gold coins, 60 merit points, and a blue item of the same level *1.

This task seems quite simple.

The rewards aren't high either.

But Lu Kong is not picky either.

He wasn't sure where to go next to level up.

I'll just do a task there while I'm at it.

And since there's a location with the Pale Church, you can definitely get Pale Church Marks. I just happened to go farm for them at that time.

Maybe we can still find some clues about Ankos here.

After Lùkōng accepted the mission, Locke spoke up: "If there's nothing else, I should get back to work."

Liukong was about to resign when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Luo Ke-dono, do you know if there's a Crimson Messenger career mentor there?"

Upon hearing this, Locke was taken aback and immediately looked up at Lu Kong.

His eyes turned a shade of green: "Are you the Scarlet Envoy profession? An epic-level Scarlet Envoy?!"

Lükong didn't expect Locke to be so excited, he nodded in confusion: "What's wrong? Lord Locke?"

What's wrong?

Locke's heart was practically filled with envy.

He's already at level 3, and he's only a legendary profession now.

He dreamed of finding an epic career legacy, but he never reaped any rewards!

I didn't expect this kid who just leveled up a tier to already be an epic-class profession!

This person is so infuriating!

Luoko also understood a little better now why Lu Kong was able to complete the king-level difficulty on his first advancement.

That's a legendary career, and if you add some other cards to your deck, you could really have a shot at completing the king-tier difficulty!

Unlike him, the first mission he completed was only boss level!

Loke's mind was racing, but he quickly calmed down.

"It's nothing, just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to be a Crimson Messenger... You're probably disappointed, because as far as I know, there shouldn't be any Crimson Messengers in Dahu City. Perhaps there might be in Xinghe City. Of course, you could also ask the city lord, maybe they would know."

To Loke's surprise, Lu Kong was a little disappointed.

But Luoco also gave Luko a path.

Go find the Lord Mayor!

Maybe the lord knows.
