It had been a busy month since Ciel deactivated.
The cooling period for inter-dimensional missions was finally over, and Jaune was eager.
His profits had soared, thanks to the continued high sales at the Beacon shop and the massive influx of Multi-Coins from the obliterated Grimm horde.
Now, he wanted to chase his dream.
"Ciel, give me missions! I want to have a Gold Coin in my pocket!"
Jaune declared, his eyes shining with ambition. At 65 Silver Coins, he was halfway to his goal.
[Affirmative, these are the current missions the Host could accept.]
[Mission—Helping a young man dying from poison]
[Rank—Silver]
[Location—God World]
[Reward—20 msc]
[Mission—Helping a young woman dying from poison]
[Rank—Silver]
[Location—God World]
[Reward—20 msc]
Seeing the identical, troubling missions, Jaune was immediately concerned.
"Why are there so many people dying from poison? Is this a world of assassins?"
He asked Ciel, instinctively touching the handle of his sword.
"Is it safe for me to go to that world?"
[Do not worry, Host. With the Flood Dragon God Physical Body, the Host is immune to a hundred thousand common poisons. However, specialized Cultivation poisons, such as the potent God Slaying Poison, would still require neutralization. Should that occur, the Host can just drink a Remedy Potion.]
The Remedy Potion was an inexpensive, Copper Rank item Jaune kept stocked.
Its value far exceeded its cost. Jaune bought ten bottles of Remedy and ten bottles of high-grade Aura Restore Potion just in case, placing them inside the shop's portable inventory, ready to be accessed instantly.
"Alright, I have prepared. Let's go!"
Jaune activated the first mission.
Like last time, the air around him cracked and broke like a mirror, revealing a swirling tunnel of colors before it deposited him in a new reality.
Jaune immediately found himself standing on the jagged peak of a forested mountain.
The air here felt thicker, heavy with an immense, palpable energy that made his own Aura hum.
"Where are we right now?"
Jaune asked Ciel, taking in the strange, vibrant plant life.
[The Host is currently at the mountain at the back of the Xiao Clan in the God World dimension. This world is inhabited by beings known as Cultivators.]
Ciel began a rapid download of necessary information into Jaune's mind, explaining the new world's physics: Clan and Sect organization, the competitive and often ruthless personalities of Cultivators, and the system of tiered power levels.
[The target is the young man afflicted with the poison. He is currently located at the main manor of the Xiao Clan. Target is expected to die within 12 hours. Current estimates place the Host's innate cultivation at Nascent Profound Realm—the second major stage of this world's power system. Not include Aura the host innately pocess.]
Ciel also explained about the situation.
"Xiao Clan…Xiao Che… Wedding…"
Jaune repeated, shaking his head at the strange power disparity and the urgency.
"Let's go and help the young man. I don't want him to die in his wedding! That's just too sad!"
Driven by a mix of compassion and eagerness for the Silver Rank reward, Jaune quickly gathered his Golden Lightning energy.
He shot off the mountain peak.
He didn't just float; using the explosive propulsion of his thunder breathing coupled with the wind manipulation of his innate dragon power, Jaune truly flew.
He was a streak of light screaming across the sky, heading directly toward the manor of the Xiao Clan, a spectacle that was impossible for a Cultivator of his low level to achieve, ensuring his arrival would be anything but subtle.
