Chapter 410: Chapter 379: Return and “The Sealed Right Hand”._1 Chapter 410: Chapter 379: Return and “The Sealed Right Hand”._1 After stepping through the Mist Gate, wisps of fog curled around him, like pairs of soft hands…

All around him, apart from the thick fog, nothing could be seen.

The thousands of employees who had just entered were nowhere to be seen…

In the midst of the fog, Colin’s expression gradually became somewhat vacant as he stood still, unmoving.

But just then…

“Dong— Dong— Dong—”

The eternal and ancient sound of a bell echoed from deep within the mist.

It was only then that Colin seemed to snap out of it, moving toward the source of the sound.

Soon, he saw a “sun” suspended above his head, not very large, but the flames that fell from it were far more fierce than its size would suggest…

At the same time, Colin saw many strange things evaporating from his body.

There were bizarre texts that screamed as they burned…

There were various kinds of strange lights…

And the most abundant among them was a vermillion light that squirmed as if it were alive.

“Even though I was incased in flame, I was unconsciously affected by many things.”

Colin’s face was vacant, basking in the light, muttering to himself.

It was only when nothing more seemed to emit from his body that he saw a ball of flame fly out from within him and merge into the great fire…

Intuition told Colin that this was something important.

However, before he could ponder further, a bell tolled from an unknown place.

In an instant, during a momentary daze, his vision suddenly darkened.

“I’m back…”

Colin shook his head vigorously and then opened his eyes to see the familiar ceiling.

Propping himself up on his elbows, he sat up and stared blankly at the scenery in his bedroom.

Screaming was still echoing in his ears, or perhaps he could also see the faces of powerful beings, resolute as they rushed at him to self-destruct…

This battle, aside from the bizarre demons and ghosts above, might not have been the highest-level battle he had participated in, but it was certainly the one with the most frequent fights…

From beginning to end, and especially when breaking through the encirclement, he was targeted by a large group of enemies.

The relentless attacks did not cease…

He himself had been seriously injured, but had forcibly persevered—at least, if those aliens had truly caught up to him, he felt he might not have been able to continue fighting.

So it could be said that it was all a bluff.

Nevertheless, he had thought he would have to lie immobile in bed for some time upon returning.

But this notion clearly underestimated the company…

Other than feeling a bit tired, Colin felt no other abnormalities in his body.

“Phew!”

After zoning out for a few more minutes, Colin’s thoughts gradually calmed, and he took a deep breath before he truly “returned.”

He glanced at the time: December 22nd, 7 PM.

“I entered on the 20th, the time I spent there was about two days as well, so it seems the task time ratio this time is one-to-one.”

“Hmm, I wonder how the battle above is going now, whether the company side has withdrawn.”

While Colin thought about this, he took out the parchment, eager to unfold it.

Soon, on the spread-out yellowed paper, he saw the comprehensive evaluation of this mission.

[In this event, your evaluation is: A.]

[You have completed this event with outstanding performance.]

[The following is the settlement of your rewards after this event: “Bonfire Points*87351”, “Advanced Talent Extraction Ticket*1”, “Advanced Item Extraction Ticket*2”, “Golden Clearance Certificate*9”, “‘Chaotic Phantom Train’ Specific Item Draw Ticket*1”.]

[All items have been transferred to the “Storage Room”, please check.]

…

“Plain and simple points, guaranteed green talents and guaranteed purple quality items, nine Gold Mission Vouchers are good, eh, ‘Chaotic Phantom Train’ specific item acquisition?”

Colin wondered at the end of the reward settlement.

Quickly, he remembered that as long as one could pass through the fifth carriage, one could receive a specific item.

“This is indeed nice…”

Colin stroked his chin, recalling what he had encountered.

Most of the attacking items those people held were average at best; they couldn’t even compare to many F Level hands in terms of quality…

Just like “Son of Cruelty” managing to hold out in the first few carriages, where out of a ten-fold contribution, seven was due to the defensive street dance item, merely three due to his own merit, and the rest was all thanks to him.

“Nothing but trash who rely solely on items for tricks!”

Colin made an objective assessment.

“Defensive items seem to be no good either, as for functional ones, there are decent ones, but they seem to be lacking in level… I still need to choose one with healing BUFF effects…”

When it came to healing items, the train crew’s level of items markedly improved.

After all…

Currently, only a few company employees had similar items, so having any at all was outstanding.

Having formulated some ideas, Colin was in no rush to start choosing right away.

After the comprehensive score dissipated, another prompt appeared.

[Congratulations, you have completed this round’s promotion task…]

[Your Authority Level within the company has been adjusted from “E” to “D”. Your corporate privileges will be updated. Here are the details of changes—]

[“Storage Room”: 300 liters increased to 1000 liters (1 cubic meter).]

[“Personal Profile”: “Talent Grid” → “Talent Grid*2”]

[“Personal Profile”: Adds “Skill Grid”.]

[“Trading Area – Storefront”: Available items for purchase increased, for details please open “Storefront” to view.]

[You have received one “D Level Item Draw Coupon”.]

…

“Finally, the Storage Room is expanded again…”

Colin’s eyes swept over the information; now with this space, he could bring even more items.

However, if going to “World Code-13″…
