Born Sacred

Chapter 110: Scram!!

[Temporary Authority: Specify Reward (Three-order)]

[One-time authority, disappears after use. You can specify any one item from the instance rewards, guaranteeing a 100% drop rate.]

[Note: This authority is only effective for Three-order and lower instances.]

"Specify reward, 100% drop rate."

Noah’s eyes lit up.

When he previously checked the Rolling in Money authority, he knew that an instance had many potential rewards, and the SSS-grade evaluation and first clear reward guaranteed the quality of the instance rewards, but what specific rewards were given depended heavily on luck.

Trial Instances were fine, at least you could enter multiple times, but everyone could only enter an Advancement Instance once.

It was too reliant on luck.

For an Advancement Instance like Challenge: Showdown at the Forbidden City, if the clear reward had been Sword God Supreme Cloud’s personal sword, Noah wouldn’t have needed to expand the applicable scope of Close Combat Specialization.

Although things weren’t bad now... it still proved the downside of random instance rewards.

Relying solely on oneself to be self-sufficient was almost impossible.

The best method was undoubtedly to exchange needs with others, yet Noah’s progress was too far ahead; if it weren’t for the party restrictions, there might not even be anyone who could keep up with him.

By the time others ascended and obtained the instance rewards he wanted, Noah might no longer have that need...

With the Specify Reward authority, things were much better, ensuring he could obtain the most valuable or most needed instance rewards.

"It’s a pity it’s a one-time authority."

Noah felt a bit regretful.

However, clearing a Three-order Disaster Instance and expecting a permanent Specify Reward authority was indeed impossible.

After choosing the Refinement authority.

The level of this authority immediately rose to level 5.

Authority levels became harder to raise the higher they went.

For him to jump from level 3 to level 5 at once, although partly because his authority level was already close to level 4, it also showed how much experience a Three-order Disaster Instance gave, far exceeding a Tier 2 Disaster Instance.

After dealing with the clear rewards, Noah greeted the others and left on his own.

As soon as the World Announcement about the Three-order Disaster Instance in Starfall Nation’s Western Desert being cleared came out, it immediately shook the entire world.

Especially those countries that hadn’t even solved their domestic Tier 2 Disaster Instances, they were even more incredulous.

"Look at Starfall Nation, constant good news, then look at us, are the higher-ups just freeloading?"

"Those so-called top Awakeners are also useless. Before they said they were First Order and lacked strength, now they are Tier 2 and still say they need to carefully study countermeasures, only calling on us to provide attribute crystals to support them, while they themselves do nothing useful."

"May traitors to the country be punished by heaven."

...

"Some countries are inviting us to help solve the Disaster Instances in their countries?"

When Noah received the message from Rose, he was at Evergreen Mountain checking on his manor that was under construction.

"Yes, actually they are mainly inviting you," Rose explained.

"Not going."

Noah didn’t even think about it and directly shook his head to refuse.

Those who came to invite were mostly small countries lacking sufficient strength or not wanting their own Awakeners to suffer too many losses.

Noah didn’t care for the benefits they could offer.

Traveling such a long distance just to clear a Tier 2 Disaster Instance?

He no longer really cared for the meager gains from Tier 2 Disaster Instances.

His authority level had reached level 5, and raising it another level was even harder.

Clearing all the Disaster Instances in these countries might not even be enough to raise him another level.

Furthermore, Ghost-Level Calamity was a super disaster that needed to be faced by the whole world together; how could it all be solved by him alone?

Noah didn’t have such lofty sentiments; it was good enough if he could ensure Starfall Nation’s safety.

"Then I’ll refuse them. Actually, many countries are inclined to use Blue Star’s high-tech weapons to deal with Demonized Monsters after the Ghost-Level Calamity arrives. The number of people who can enter Disaster Instances is limited, and they can’t bring heavy weapons."

"Instead of sending Awakeners to enter at the risk of their lives, it’s better to wait until they arrive and bombard them all together to solve it," Rose replied with a smile.

There was pity in her eyes.

She knew that many people on Blue Star still hadn’t faced reality; compared to relying on the power of Awakeners, they were more superstitious about the power of planes and cannons.

Unless they saw the scene in the Original Forest instance where Noah cleared everything with one punch, they wouldn’t suddenly realize that Awakeners were the future of Blue Star.

In Lucian’s previous life, it wasn’t until Blue Star suffered heavy losses in the Ghost-Level Calamity and saw that high-tech weapons were not as effective as imagined against Demonized Monsters that they truly woke up, but the price in blood had already been paid.

Rose couldn’t manage that much either; Starfall Nation wasn’t the co-leader of Blue Star, and others wouldn’t listen.

"Right, what’s the situation with that Three-order Disaster Instance in the eastern waters of Sunrise Nation?"

Noah didn’t know what Rose was thinking and directly asked about the news he was interested in.

Clearing a Three-order Disaster Instance would give temporary authority, which made Noah very interested in that Disaster Instance located at sea.

As for the authority level, it didn’t matter; he didn’t expect a single Three-order Disaster Instance to raise the Refinement authority to level 6.

"That Disaster Instance is heavily surrounded by Sunrise Nation and White Eagle Country. Eagle Federation has dispatched a large number of warships, blockading the nearby waters," Rose replied.

"However, they are only preventing people from approaching the instance; they haven’t entered it yet."

"Sun Goddess Squad has already cleared the Tier 2 Disaster Instance within Sunrise Nation. Now the entire Sunrise Nation is calling for them to attack the Three-order Disaster Instance at sea, but they have been slow to act."

Noah chuckled.

Miyamoto Nobuo was still very protective of his life and naturally unwilling to enter the Three-order Disaster Instance to die.

Although they could choose to withdraw, one minute was enough for many things to happen.

They knew nothing about the situation in that Disaster Instance and definitely didn’t want to take risks.

"Negotiate with them and say that I am willing to take action to help them solve this Disaster Instance so that they won’t face as much pressure when dealing with the Ghost-Level Calamity later," Noah said.

Negotiating with other countries was naturally best left to the Starfall Nation’s officials.

"Okay."

The Supernatural Management Bureau acted quickly, and Sunrise Nation didn’t take long to give a reply.

"They welcome me to attack the Disaster Instance, but they want me to bring Miyamoto Nobuo and others along, and also guarantee that Miyamoto Nobuo himself gets 50% of the instance contribution?"

Looking at the message Rose sent, Noah was amused.

Was Sunrise Nation not awake?

Did they not understand who was asking whom for help?

They were clearly asking him to work for free.

How audacious were they to make such a request?

Miyamoto Nobuo still wanted to get 50% of the instance contribution.

Even if Noah was willing to help, did he have the ability?

"Sunrise Nation is waiting for your reply," Rose said, stating she was just a heartless message conveyor.

"My reply is one word: Scram."

Noah didn’t hesitate at all.

Sunrise Nation got one thing wrong.

He initiated negotiations not because he was afraid of the heavily guarded warships, nor because he feared Sunrise Nation and Eagle Federation, but because he didn’t want his actions to put Starfall Nation in a passive position internationally.

That was all.

If Noah wanted to enter the instance, did they really think those warships could stop him?
