Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class - Chapter 501: First Job

Chapter 501: First Job

Everyone was dumbfounded. That kind of mechanism was punishing indeed.

“That’s so cool,” Almond muttered.

“Yep. Amazing.” Lily sighed in admiration.

“Such a system is great to nurture individuals.” Admiral Rudra nodded in agreement.

“That’s Grimverse for you.” Levi laughed. “There are ways to regain your speed, though. Basically, you have to put yourself in harsh conditions and tough jobs, train, and get stronger without getting help from others to finally regain your speed. And know survival is the most important and difficult in the Grimverse. You will realize that with time.”

“For now, we act like nobodies in this city and get ourselves ready.” Levi wryly chuckled and began walking. “We need to find a place to live. Fortunately, your Geneline is very strong, and got a Geneline Talent like Spirit Voiderran Realm. I like your use of Voiderran. I would have loved to help you increase your understanding, but I won’t do that actively. Just look for an opportunity to observe me when the time comes.”

Almond, Lily, and Admiral Rudra nodded.

Those three had learned Voiderran, and based on how it was their most powerful aspect of power right now, they knew it was far higher in quality compared to their powers of other elements.

As the group of forty-seven Regalons entered the city, it didn’t seem big. The city had vast and multiple routes, roads from air, branches, water streams, and such. It had a magically advanced and massive infrastructure.

After an hour of roaming around, everyone could see in their stats that their experience at Grim Residents had finally increased by 1%.

Of course, it wasn’t going to increase more than that even if they roamed around all day and night every day.

After finding a good and spacious property, Levi paid some gems and leased it for six months.

It was a big courtyard with a pond and trees.

Enough for a hundred people to live in.

“We’ll lease this for six months. After that, we’ll need a bigger property since we’ll have more Regalons turning Grim Residents than this property can hold.”

Levi smiled at the Regalons. “I’ll need the rent of each one of you paid every month. If not, your speed of gathering experience will reduce.”

“Well then, we’d better start working for our bread.” Admiral Rudra chuckled. “What’s the plan now that we’ve got the property?”

“By the way, from the resources we have, I can maintain Spirit Voiderran Realm for one month at most,” Almond said as he looked at Levi. “The consumption of Spirit Voiderran Realm has increased by ten times since arriving in Grimverse. We’ll need a pretty big source of energy for this.”

Levi rubbed her chin before her eyes glinted. “Alright. It’s time to get some action. We’ll start by earning the most basic thing—money. Let’s go.”

Almond and Lily clearly caught a mischievous glint in Levi’s eyes.

As the group walked out, Levi hummed and said. “This will be fun. It will increase your experience by a good amount, haha.”

Regalons exchanged glances and smiled.

“Levi, you can freely put us in trouble. Tough challenges are what we want,” Almond said with a grin. “Make this risky and fun for us, so we can progress faster.”

“Great. This will be perfect then.”

…

After registering all forty-seven Regalons, including herself, in the War Tower, Levi led them to the jobs.

They were Grim Residents, so there weren’t many options for them, but Levi knew exactly what they needed.

“Mining in the Urtulla Crystal Cave?” Almond raised his eyebrows as his eyes glinted understanding. “Don’t tell me…”

’Yes, now listen. We are going to fuck that mine up and steal everything, and get scott-free in the end. But I won’t be participating in any way. I already told you what you need to do. As for the important ’how’ to do it. That’s your job.’

’Good luck and have fun. I’ll cheer you from the side.’

Levi walked away while humming.

’Oh yeah, I need to buy a big bucket of popcorn.’

“Well, boys and girls. Let’s begin.” Almond smiled. “This won’t be difficult, so let’s finish this and move to the next job.”

…

However, Levi also had another objective. She wanted to find out what happened to this damn city.

Why did the higher-ups say they don’t know Mr. Sirius?

It was absurd.

’I can’t sense Silvarun’s blood in this city at all.’ Levi’s eyes turned cold. ’What the hell happened to them? It’s been over seven thousand years, so they should have descendants with a big family, too.’

Levi had many questions.

She was scanning the whole city, but she couldn’t find any trace of Silvarun’s blood.

[ Levi: Master!!! ]

[ John Wicked: Sup’ darling. ]

[ Levi: Nobody knows Mr. Sirius here anymore! And I can’t find Rihika and her brother! ]

[ John Wicked: Eh? Their family should be there. ]

[ Levi: It’s not. No Silvarun blood detected in the city.]

[ John Wicked: That’s bad. ]

[ Levi: Did you put the Eldritch Seed into them? ]

[ John Wicked: Yeah. They wanted it three thousand years ago. It was also that time they asked me to help if I could when the tier-5 treasure ripens. Glad I remembered it since it became a perfect place for the Regalons to start. ]

[ Levi: I already put them on a job. I started with an easy one so they can get used to the stuff here. ]

[ John Wicked: Good. As for the Silvarun. I’ll get back to you after tracing my Eldritch Seed. ]

[ Levi: Okie. ]

…

Meanwhile, Almond and others arrived in the large mine wearing mining coats and holding pickaxes.

The mine had large passages and glowing dark blue crystals with ice-blue patterns on them.

The smallest size of crystal was still two meters tall.

So there were large chunks of crystals that needed to be mined.

’Let’s start. Take up your roles and share information.’ Almond relayed to everyone. ’We’ll make the plan after that.’

And so, the forty-seven Regalons scattered into small groups of two and three.

But their geneline network allowed them to communicate with each other.

[Admiral Rudra: The surveillance is high. Those tiny floating eyes must be watching everything and everyone.]

[Bianca: I found a storage compound. But based on this mine’s scale, there must be multiple storage compounds located in this mine.]

[Lily: I am heading deeper.]

[Almond: Today, we’ll just work and observe. Let’s get some money in an honest way before taking it all.]
