Just moments earlier she had an air of a powerful woman, yet now she had turned into a gently sensitive woman overnight, this allowed Song Jian to gain a deeper understanding of Annie’s capabilities in managing her responsibilities;
“How could you accept such a challenging task!” Annie furrowed her brows, speaking in a low voice, “The Blood Demon Cave is not easily accessible, there’s a myriad of creatures inside, utterly dangerous. They are all at a minimum level of 20, elite level of monsters, and it is rumored that there are even stronger Elite Level bosses, even possibly a leader-level Boss. Over a dozen other teams have ventured to conquer it, but none have returned. And the adventurers that have died within…could be well over hundreds already…”
“Level 20? It seems like this is a Fourth-Level Secret Realm.” Song Jian slightly tilted his brows, shrugged a little and said, “There’s not much I could do, do you remember the Heart of the Demon you asked for last time? In order to obtain it, I clashed with a demon from the Abyss. Without the Book of the Abyss, I wouldn’t be able to completely kill the demon, and the Book of the Abyss is within the Blood Demon Cave…” Song Jian said, shrugging lightly.
Annie was at a loss of words, evidently, the problem traced back to her initially.
After a while, Annie nodded her head and spoke: “Alright, if you are determined to enter the Blood Demon Cave, I will do my best to help you. This is a map of City of Hymns and its surrounding areas; consider it a welcome gift.”
Annie handed over a parchment to Song Jian, after he opened it, he saw that it closely resembled the map of Doomsday City. It marked uncannily all the sites within the City of Hymns, even the secret entrances to some hidden places within the city;
However, the scope of this map was much larger than that of Doomsday City, the surrounding locations for hunts, mountains, lakes, even the places where wild Bosses appear, were very clearly marked;
This was the most detailed version of City of Hymns map. Most players had a simplified version. To get a map like this one, it would cost at least five thousand Doomsday Coins.
“Thank you for your help, I’ll be taking off now and will try to finish this task as quickly as possible.” Song Jian identified the location of the Blood Demon Cave, nodded his head, stored the map in his inventory, and got ready to leave.
“Ahem, in fact, the reason why Cecilia Priest directed you to me first was not to simply guide you to the location of the Blood Demon Cave, but mostly to amplify your power!” Annie immediately stopped Song Jian from leaving and explained.
“Amplify my power? How would I do that?” Song Jian asked curiously.
“The Silver Moon Commerce has its own armed forces, and amongst them, the finest force is a defense power named Dawn’s Song. You can employ the warriors of Dawn’s Song based on your level of intimacy with Silver Moon Commerce. Only with their assistance, you alone could possibly complete this task!” Annie spoke softly: “The existence of Dawn’s Song is itself a secret within the Silver Moon Commerce, with only a few managers aware of it. Fortunately, I happen to be one of them.”
“Dawn’s Song? Does it have anything to do with Cecilia, the Dawn Officer?” Song Jian wondered internally, but these didn’t concern him whatsoever.
“How can I hire warriors from Dawn’s Song?”
“You have three days to increase your intimacy level with Silver Moon Commerce. If you reach ‘Friendly’, you can employ a level 15 elite from Dawn’s Song. Should you reach ‘Respected’, you can employ a level 20 elite. If you reach ‘Revered’, you can employ two level 25 elites. If you reach ‘Exalted’, you can hire three level 25 elites!”
“So my current relationship with Silver Moon Commerce is…” Song Jian checked his system profile and noticed that even though he was a VIP member of Silver Moon Commerce, his relationship with them was at ‘Neutral’, however it was near to ‘Friendly’.
“Now, I can’t even hire a level 15 elite warrior.” Song Jian said with a slight frown.
If there is an option to hire warriors from Dawn’s Song within the mission, then it would definitely help with the mission. Song Jian must try his best to gain the aid of Silver Moon Commerce. Otherwise, he would be risking his life by entering the Fourth-level Secret Realm all alone.
“So what am I supposed to do now? Is there any way to quickly increase my intimacy level with Silver Moon Commerce?” Song Jian asked.
“You have three days. There are many ways to increase your intimacy level, such as trading with Silver Moon Commerce, completing the tasks they’ve given, manufacturing goods to sell at Silver Moon Commerce, and so on!” Annie squinted, with a huge smile on her face: “However, these generic methods only improve intimacy little by little. In three days, you may reach ‘Respected’ at most. It’s almost impossible to get ‘Revered’ or ‘Exalted’!” If it’s just ‘Respected’, I could only hire a level 20 elite from Dawn’s Song. Within a territory where the lowest monster level is 20, the help you could provide is quite limited.
“Is that so…” Song Jian furrowed his brows, contemplating in his mind whether he could clear the Blood Demon Cave instance with a level 15 Black Dragon Hatchling and a level 20 Elite Level Mercenary by his side.
“Of course, you can also hire professionals to safeguard you into the Blood Demon Cave, but I’m sure you’re aware, the Blood Demon Cave is considered forbidden territory within the City of Hymns. For now, I’m afraid no team would be willing to accept your hiring mission.” Annie glanced at Song Jian, sporting a cheerful look on her face.
“Do you have a way to quickly increase my intimacy level with Silver Moon Commerce?” All of a sudden, Song Jian asked Annie look.
“Keke, I knew you couldn’t truck me!” Annie giggled, giving Song Jian a flirtatious glance “Considering our relationship, I naturally want to help you to the best of my ability. I do happen to have a task that can quickly increase your intimacy level with Silver Moon Commerce in a short period of time. Are you interested?”
“What task?” Song Jian raised an eyebrow, asking curiously.
“I have in my hands a first level business, but it’s on the verge of bankruptcy because of mismanagement. If you manage to resurrect this business within three days and achieve a turnover of one million Doomsday Coins, your affinity level with Silver Moon Commerce would definitely reach ‘Exalted’ level!” Annie stared at Song Jian, a strange sparkle in her eyes, with a look full of expectations on her face.
“Three days, one million?” Song Jian stupefied, said, “How is that possible? Are you kidding me?”
“This is the only way you can quickly improve your intimacy level. If you refuse, then it would mean you only rely on accomplishing tasks given by Silver Moon Commerce!” Annie pouted, with a look of helplessness on her face.
“Where does the goods for sale in the shop come from?” Song Jian hesitated for a long time before abruptly asking.
“Regular items will be supplied by Central Goods Supply, you’ll only get commission. Although, since it’s part of the task, your commission will be converted into intimacy points. If they are your handcrafted items, we’ll provide you with unlimited raw materials, but the price needs to be split 80/20, we get 80, you get 20. Of course, a generous amount of intimacy points will be presented to you as compensation. We can provide as many non-regulated materials as per your needs. What do you say?” Annie laid out all the terms in one breath, smiling softly as she looked at Song Jian.
“I see, I need to consider it.” Song Jian lowered his head, silently made some calculations in his mind and very swiftly arrived at a decision: “If I get to have the final say on the shop’s operation, I’ll accept this task.”
