Chapter 110

As he spoke, the bull-headed creature frantically rummaged through its belongings and finally pulled out a Token and a pitch-black pearl.

"Take them, take them!"

Seeing this, Qin Han swiftly stepped forward and grabbed both items.

The Token was a Teleportation Token, which could directly transport him to the nobility rank competition dungeon.

As for the pitch-black pearl, it was a treasure— Water-Avoiding Pearl: Special Item

With this pearl, the wielder can traverse the Three Thousand Water Realms as if walking on flat ground.

Simply store it in the inventory to activate its effects.

Upon seeing the pearl, Qin Han finally nodded in satisfaction.

This bull-headed creature was actually a relatively important element of the nobility rank competition.

Killing it would, at most, yield a Teleportation Token.

But by breaking its chains, terrifying it, and crippling it until it surrendered, one could obtain a Water-Avoiding Pearl.

This pearl was extremely crucial during the assessment phase, granting its wielder a critical advantage at key moments.

Noticing that Qin Han hadn’t left after taking the items, the bull-headed creature grew anxious. "I’ve already given you the items. Why aren’t you leaving?"

"Are you going back on your word?"

Qin Han shot it a glance, then crushed the Token without hesitation.

A bronze gate materialized before him.

Without delay, he stepped through.

This bull-headed creature was a quest monster. Since he had already obtained the items, killing it would only grant a small amount of Experience Points—hardly worth the effort.

The key was that the bull-headed creature’s true identity was a crucial NPC in the mid-to-late game, belonging to the Beast Clan in a specific map. Sparing it today would allow him to trigger a hidden map upon encountering it again in the future—one that held considerable rewards.

Rumor had it that the Water-Avoiding Pearl originated from that very hidden map.

Passing through the Teleportation Gate, Qin Han arrived in a familiar passageway.

The passage was 200 meters wide and stretched five kilometers in length.

Looking down its expanse, he could see monsters wielding various weapons scattered throughout— Bull-headed creatures! Goat-headed fiends! Centaurs! Dog-headed humanoids! And more!

Approximately a thousand in total.

At that moment, a small screen appeared in the upper-right corner of Qin Han’s vision:

"The nobility rank competition has already begun. Time elapsed: 15 minutes."

"Slay monsters, acquire treasures, and pass trials to earn points!"

"The event lasts ten days. After ten days, the final rankings will be determined. The higher your rank, the greater your chance of obtaining a Nobility Rank."

"Strive to earn points and secure your Nobility Rank."

The screen then shifted, displaying a points leaderboard that showed the scores of all players who had entered the area.

Based on information from his past life, Qin Han knew that the top sixty-one players on the final leaderboard would receive Nobility Rank rewards.

Currently, the top-ranked player was:

Chen Chaoxi — 900 points.

Qin Han was familiar with this individual— A prodigy from one of the six peak forces in the universe, born with a sword body, possessing a Saint-level Profession, and wielding a Unique Treasure sword.

In the Final Battlefield, this person had overpowered numerous veteran powerhouses to ascend as a Supreme God.

In second place was Jiang Ningxue, while third place belonged to Selina — 898 points.

Selina hailed from a top-tier magic family in the universe, born with an innate affinity for magic. Rumors claimed she was the reincarnation of a God of Magic.

Her performance in the previous timeline had been exceptional.

Qin Han continued scanning the leaderboard downward.

The top rankings were all occupied by Saint-level Professions and Hidden Profession holders, no different from the previous timeline.

However, the thirtieth position caught Qin Han’s attention— "Feng Qianjue! This guy didn’t even make the list in the previous timeline, did he?"

"It seems this person wasn’t famous at all in the later stages of the game."

"The only thing that made his name known across the world was his father, the Demon Emperor, who later became one of the Supreme Gods."

"Back then, after the Demon Emperor ascended to Supreme Godhood, he once fought the Ancient Witch Queen in a battle so fierce it darkened the heavens and earth. Yet in the end, neither could defeat the other."

"But it was said the Demon Emperor’s reason for fighting the Ancient Witch Queen was because Feng Qianjue was allegedly killed by her in the Beginner’s Village."

"Oh, so that’s how it is." Qin Han suddenly realized— It must have been because he killed the Ancient Witch Queen in this life, preventing her from growing stronger.
