Chapter 784 - 784 550 The Hefty Reward from the 15th Loop

Chapter 784: Chapter 550: The Hefty Reward from the 15th Loop Incident. _1 Chapter 784: Chapter 550: The Hefty Reward from the 15th Loop Incident. _1 The familiar ceiling he had looked at countless times.

Colin opened his eyes, lay in bed for a while to dispel that inexplicable sense of daze, took a deep breath, stopped lazing in bed, and turned his head to glance at the clock on the wall.

“March 3rd, it seems like it’s been over three days and a few hours…”

Colin shifted his position to lean against the headboard, did some quick mental calculations of the train ride and mission duration, and it was roughly correct.

Then, he rubbed his hungry stomach, summoned the Little Maid, had her split off a part of herself to continue participating in various official experiments, and had her prepare some food ingredients to start making a feast…

Although, with his level of strength, his need for food was not high, theoretically he could go a long time without eating and it wouldn’t matter much, at worst he would look a bit thinner like the previous Saintess, without much impact.

But what was different from others was that he had “Hunger” inside his stomach…

If he went a long time without eating, it might cause problems.

And since he was eating, he definitely had to eat well; he couldn’t just settle for something random…

“Feels like once I reach C Level, I should be stable and not worry too much about losing control. If I become a ‘Flame Bearer’ later on, then there’s a high probability that I’ll be able to fully convert this part of ‘Hunger’ for my use.”

“Tsk, if ‘Hunger’ could be fully utilized, even if it’s just a fragment, it would be a huge treasure…”

Colin fantasized about the scene where he had full control over “Hunger”.

Even for a “Flame Bearer”, “Hunger” was still a powerful boost.

Otherwise, Rosen, who was a high-ranking member of the “Flame Bearer”, wouldn’t have used it as one of his main combat methods during his execution of super difficult missions.

But unfortunately, for him, the image in his mind was still a bit premature.

“Looking at it now, becoming a Level C Employee seems hopeful, but becoming a ‘Flame Bearer’ is still uncertain.”

In the hospital’s special effect of “Belief Materializes”, he had unwittingly summoned a trace of the Primordial Fire’s might, and now he had a deeper understanding of the current dilemma of the “Flame Bearer”.

What he summoned seemed to be a power from the past, not the current ‘Primordial Fire’…

Without the influence of “Belief Materializes”, Colin reviewed the situation in depth once more, and realized it was very difficult to describe the status of the “Primordial Fire” with his current understanding.

If he had to say, it seemed to exist in a state that was difficult to comprehend, a “neither present nor absent” status…

Or to simplify it, Colin knew that such a thing did indeed exist, but even though he was already using the associated power, he could not confirm its current existence.

Just bizarre…

And if he couldn’t confirm it, he couldn’t contact it; without contact, he couldn’t attract the “Primordial Fire”, and then he would not be able to become a “Flame Bearer”…

“‘Conceptual’ stuff is indeed a bit metaphysical; no wonder when I asked ‘Lady Rabbit’ how to become a ‘Flame Bearer’, she was so vague. The method she knew probably no longer works, so she is also clueless.”

Colin felt he was touching upon the truth.

According to the information he had gathered, “Flame Bearers” during the company era, though seemingly hard to achieve with many conditions, did not lead to a dead-end. However, after the company’s upheaval, this path seemed to have been severed.

The reason for this severance could very likely be related to the grand mission that Rosen mentioned, which the “Flame Bearers” at the end carried out together.

It also had something to do with “The Ultimate Moment”, or, to put it another way, 2044.

“I’m probably not the first person in this post-company era to take the ‘Flame Bearer’ path. I wasn’t sure before, but the moment I summoned the power of the ‘Primordial Fire’ in the hospital, I did feel a bit, as if there were other people on this path, only I am unsure of their fate, and it’s even possible that they sensed me…”

“But likewise, they seem to be reservists at most, just like me, using the power of the ‘Flame Bearer’ through some sideways means, having not reached the status of ‘Flame Bearer’, unable to truly mobilize the power of the ‘Primordial Fire’…”

“It seems that so far, I have not detected the existence of any living ‘Flame Bearers’. Did they all fail…”

Colin bit his finger, feeling led into a dead end.

However, the next time he had the chance to see “Lady Rabbit”, he would ask if there were other “Flamebearer” reserves, and if so, what their current situation is… He also looked forward to the other “Flamebearer” reserves being more capable.

If they could pierce through the last barrier with the “Primordial Fire”, it should make his becoming a “Flame Bearer” much easier.

Thinking of this, Colin suddenly let out a wry smile, strangely thinking, if there are other “Flamebearer” reserves now, wouldn’t they all be in a situation similar to his own, preferring to expect others to succeed rather than put in the effort themselves?

Then, Colin shook his head, stopping his train of thought, and excitedly pulled out the parchment——

This time it was a reward with fifteen rings stacked together!

Colin dared not think how many things there would be!

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

[You have completed this event with an exceptionally excellent performance.]

[Below is the settlement of your rewards after this event mission——”Bonfire Points*412000″, “Special Grade Item Draw Ticket*1”, “C Level Genetic Compensation Medicine (Injection Type)*1”, “Golden Clearance Certificate*47″…]

…

The mission rewards looked plain and seemed no different from usual, but the quantities listed afterwards were clear to see.
