Chapter 1758

Current permit: c-level permit*2」

「Ding, rank-up and overlimit kill reward has been issued. Gain 200 Apocalypse points.. 」

「Current Apocalypse points: 571」

Returning to the redemption point, smelling the strong bloody scent, Lin An actually felt his mood relax, having a sense of familiar Safety.

Seeing his Apocalypse points surge past the five-hundred-point mark again, Lin An's original sense of oppression instantly vanished, and he gained a bit of confidence.

「Is it still worth killing the Star Destroyer... 」

"\"The permit with the highest value, yet I can't make use of it. \""

Just like Gul Hong Mo, the fallen Ice Frost Controller provided him with a full two hundred points and a c-level permit.

According to the information he currently has, the value of his harvest this time should be around 1000 points.

That's right, a c-level permit is worth that much, and it's far harder to obtain than 800 points.

But Lin An currently has no better way to monetize it.

Of course, maybe there is.

「Already have two... still not using them? 」

Looking at the empty rule imprint in his Thought Space, Lin An's brows furrowed, and he hesitated for a moment.

It wasn't that he suddenly remembered he still had an unused permit.

But in this battle, for him, he had already exchanged all his previous Rule Reserve for this c-level permit.

Clearly it's of higher value, yet he can't monetize it.

How could he not be annoyed?

In the first time eliminating Gul Hong Mo, after obtaining the c-level permit, Lin An had considered exchanging it for the optimal rule path.

d-level is the optimal enhancement plan, c-level is the optimal rule route, b-level is the optimal promotion.

At that time, considering that even if he exchanged the rule route given by the system, he had no points to exchange, and even less time.

Lin An simply kept them, planning to exchange for a b-level after collecting ten.

But now...

「Later, killing Fifth Stage becomes harder and harder, capturing is even harder. 」

「I've exhausted my Rule Reserve; not replenishing a trump card is too dangerous... 」

"\"Is it a gamble; if wasted, then wasted? \""

「Or should we keep holding onto it? 」

Struggling, hesitating.

From a rational standpoint, Lin An clearly knows he has nothing to hesitate about.

Whether he can survive this mission is still uncertain, so naturally there's nothing that needs to be kept.

But the permit is truly too precious.

Deeply aware that he wants to rely on himself to reach Fifth Stage, which is already difficult to the point of making one's hair stand on end, Lin An realizes he likely can only break through Fifth Stage by relying on a b-level permit.

If he uses one now, he will have to kill an extra Star Destroyer in the future.

「Of course, maybe I don't need to worry about not being able to gather a b-level permit. 」

「After detonating the Apocalypse, theoretically I could kill everyone... seventeen c-level permits, I couldn't possibly use them all. 」

Risk and reward coexist.

In Lin An's silence, he subconsciously lifted his head to look at the redemption light sphere above.

As the time for this mission is about to end, his inner pressure grows ever greater.

Detonation of the Apocalypse succeeded.

If successful, he can survive and obtain unimaginable rewards.

If it fails, that means death.

Under immense psychological pressure, he cannot afford to misstep even a little.

「Using the permit to exchange for the optimal rule means that the points I gain afterward will also need to be spent on rules. 」

「If I pretend I don't have this permit, I could exchange for several more pieces of Equipment. 」

One is an unknown enhancement, the other is a clearly upgradable enhancement.

He fears that, after activating the optimal rule route, even if the system gives a rule fusion path similar to an omniscient domain, he won't have time to master it.

In that case, it would truly be a waste.

Moreover, this possibility is extremely high.

After a long period of consideration.

In the end, Lin An still took a deep breath and consumed one c-level permit.

Let it be wasted then.

Even if it only increases his chance of survival by a tiny bit, he is willing to make an effort.

Soon.

With the consumption of the permit, a familiar scheme light curtain instantly appeared before his eyes.

「Ding, permit consumption successful. 」

「Current optimal rule route has been found. 」
