Since Wen Wen insisted, Xun Qing did not try to persuade him further and simply pushed a prepared contract toward Wen Wen.
"Starting from today, I am a Ranger, right?"
Wen Wen wrote his name on the contract, then dropped a bead of blood on it and handed the contract back to Xun Qing, asking,
Xun Qing nodded and said, "That’s correct, you’re now a Ranger, you can choose to take on a task right now. Additionally, you can note in the device which type of monster you are skilled at handling, so you will be given priority when tasks with similar monsters arise."
Wen Wen shook his head and said, "I’ll pass for now, I plan to rest for a couple of days. The assessment was quite draining, and I need some time to adjust and adapt to my new identity as a Ranger."
Xun Qing nodded; this was a reasonable request.
Then Wen Wen’s eyes became a bit sly, he leaned forward, and whispered to Xun Qing, "I was third in the third assessment—previously you mentioned that the top three of each assessment would receive a reward, so—are you...?"
"I would have given it to you even if you hadn’t said anything, this is your reward," Xun Qing promptly handed Wen Wen a box, saying,
"This is a Supernatural Knife. In normal conditions, it’s equivalent to a Disaster Level supernatural item. When facing Creatures of Light, it equates to a Disaster Level Supernatural Weapon, your reward is even better than that of the first place."
For some reason, Xun Qing looked strange and somewhat unnatural while describing it.
However, Wen Wen’s attention was entirely on the box. After opening it, he found a pig-slaughtering knife emitting a foul aura. Judging from this foul aura, it was probably true that it was especially effective against Creatures of Light.
"A Disaster Level supernatural item in certain conditions—this must be worth tens of thousands of Demon Hunting Coins, you are quite generous," Wen Wen said.
He brought the item to his nose and took a deep sniff, discerning the scent of a powerful weapon from the smell, much stronger than his Rune Short Sword.
Xun Qing laughed it off, "Since nobody else wanted it, let’s consider it a reward for you."
"Nobody wanted it? How could no one want such a great thing?"
Wen Wen held it and swung it lightly a couple of times; the air seemed to be cleaved apart as he felt the immense power contained within the pig-slaughtering knife.
Although he could make Rune Weapons himself, at the end of the day, it’s different from a proper Supernatural Weapon.
Rune Weapons are extensions of a superpower user’s limbs and can better channel the user’s Strength, but that’s about it.
Yet, the controllable supernatural power contained within a Supernatural Weapon could even rival a superpower user of the same level!
So, why would such a Supernatural Weapon be unwanted, and Xun Qing’s expression also seemed off, as if there was some embarrassing secret about the weapon.
Therefore, relying on Xun Qing’s previous description of the weapon, Wen Wen began to search through the Demon Hunter website on the Ranger Terminal.
This action made Xun Qing slightly nervous, so he moved his chair back a little.
Finally, amid a multitude of images, Wen Wen spotted the appearance of the blade and its price tag—99,999 Demon Hunting Coins.
With such high value, Wen Wen should certainly be at no loss.
But the moment Wen Wen saw the name of the blade, his face darkened,
Because the name of the blade was—Shit-Cutter Blade!
Upon seeing the name, Wen Wen immediately threw the blade back into the box, his face filled with repulsion.
According to the website, this blade belonged to a superpower user from the ’True Order Realm’ who possessed a Vajra Indestructible body.
But the problem arose when everything about that Superpower user from the True Order Realm was Vajra Indestructible, including the excrement eliminated during toilet visits...
This meant that flushing the toilet became a big hassle for the Superpower user, as it would get clogged every time.
As a result, the Superpower user specially commissioned an artisan to craft this ’Shit-Cutter Blade’ using top-tier Superpower Material.
The blade had characteristics like ’Armor-Breaking,’ ’Durability,’ and ’Sharpness’; it could easily slice through feces as hard as rock and metal, preventing it from clogging the toilet and ensuring it would flush smoothly down the drain.
And, as the blade’s usage increased, it gained another feature—’Contamination’!
Enemies wounded by the blade were contaminated by its filth aura, and the cleaner the Creatures of Light, the stronger the contamination became.
However, because the blade often shattered the toilet, the Superpower User finally sought out a top-tier Pharmacist to adjust his body’s condition.
Thus, the blade became redundant, and the Superpower User decided to sell it.
To be honest, the blade was actually quite powerful, and Wen Wen liked its properties, but he couldn’t get over its origin, just as some people could never accept eating large intestine sashimi.
Wen Wen said to Xun Qing with a sense of grievance, "I feel that using this blade to kill enemies is an insult to them, and I actually smelled the blade just now!"
Trying to hold back a laugh, Xun Qing replied, "This blade has been thoroughly cleaned; there’s definitely no lingering smell. You can be reassured about that. But if you still don’t want it, I can exchange it for another reward, though it won’t be as valuable as this blade."
"I’ll take it. Only fools would pass up a good deal !" Wen Wen clenched his teeth and snapped the box shut, stowing it in his briefcase.
Then, looking slyly at Xun Qing, he said, "So, how’s the cough medicine I gave you? If it’s working well, I can give you a few more bottles."
Waving his hand, Xun Qing replied, "No need, I’m already feeling better."
Xun Qing had also suspected that the cough medicine Wen Wen gave him was meant as a prank, but he had had it tested at the center’s medical office, and it turned out to be nothing but a decent cough medicine.
However, after receiving that blade, he was no longer daring enough to accept anything from Wen Wen—who knew what Wen Wen might mix into his medicine.
After Wen Wen left, his eyes flickered mischievously, feeling he couldn’t let Xun Qing off so easily. He had to cause some trouble for him.
He found a piece of white paper, wrote a line on it, and stealthily stuck it on Xun Qing’s office door, then left, feeling entirely refreshed.
A moment later, Qiao Feiya arrived at Xun Qing’s door, led by a Supporter and burst out laughing upon seeing the note.
The note on the door read, "I am dealing with a physiological issue. Please do not disturb me. I’ll be done soon."
Even though Qiao Feiya suspected it was likely a prank, she did not enter. Everyone knew it was probably fake, but what if it wasn’t?
So she and the Supporter stood at the door a few minutes, during which time quite a few people passed by.
Noticing people waiting at the door, Xun Qing opened the door confusedly and asked, "Why are you standing outside my door? Come in, don’t hold up others needing to sign contracts."
The Supporter, covering his mouth, pointed at the door, and only then did Xun Qing see what was on it. His face darkened, and he immediately tore the note off.
What he didn’t expect was that there were words written with a special solution beneath the paper on the door. Even after he scraped off a layer of the paint, the words remained...
"Damn it, my reputation is ruined..."
