And at the moment his body completely disintegrated, a mechanical prompt sounded in his ear.

[Current trial evaluation in progress...]

[Evaluation complete. Your task contribution points for this trial are: 8347]

[Overall Evaluation: Unprecedented (+1200%)]

[Settlement rewards complete!]

[Received item: Cause and Effect Points *33200]

[Received artifact: Upgrade Spark (Legendary)]

[Received profession: Swindler (A)]

[Received profession: Deceitful Clown (A)]

[Received additional reward: Ascension Sequence 657 (Myth)]

First is the regular reward of Cause and Effect Points. With the super-high task contribution bonus, he was directly given a full 33200 points! Almost matching the rewards of a world-class task.

It's important to note that the baseline reward for a Fierce Tier trial is only 800. Completing it with 2000 to 3000 points is considered outstanding, but Chu Xiu just took it to another level, ten times over!

Of course, the baseline reward is the least noteworthy part of the Fierce Tier trial rewards. What's more important are the artifact rewards!

The high score awards were indeed astonishing, directly granting him two A-level professions related to gambling.

The value of high-tier professions goes without saying. Though Chu Xiu couldn't use them, selling them could fetch quite a good price.

However, what truly caught his attention were the last two rewards.

[Upgrade Spark (Legendary): Can upgrade any profession below S-Class by one level]

[Ascension Sequence 657 (Myth): Exclusive Ascension Sequence for the Gambling God. When used by a Heroic Spirit Tier Awakened, it can open the related Ascension Long Tier.]

Both of these artifacts made Chu Xiu widen his eyes in shock.

The Upgrade Spark, needless to say, can directly increase a professional level, and each one is extremely precious. A Legendary Quality Upgrade Spark can even upgrade an A-level profession to S! It's extremely rare and invaluable!

The latter artifact took his breath away even more.

"Used by Heroic Spirit Tier Awakened? Ascension Long Tier?"

At school, the introduction to Awakened typically includes the five tiers: Mortal, Warrior, Fierce, General, King.

Tiers above that are extremely mysterious and information is very scarce because so few can reach them. They've completely become tiers that ordinary people can't even touch.

Yet occasionally, one can find some rumors online, such as the tier above King, known as the "Heroic Spirit Tier".

It's said that reaching this tier is exceedingly difficult. Just to start the Ascension Trial, one must have an S-Class profession. Anything below doesn't qualify! More accurately, they lack the potential to become Heroic Spirits!

The difficulty of the Ascension Trial is significantly higher than previous trials, and failure results in death!

"The Upgrade Spark can elevate A to S, which countless King Tier Awakened would fight over, and the Ascension Sequence is an artifact for the Heroic Spirit Tier!"

Though he didn't know their specific uses, Chu Xiu could still sense how terrifyingly valuable these two artifacts were.

It wasn't in vain that he paid such a high price!

However, soon his initial joy faded, and a slight frown appeared on his face instead.

These two artifacts were extremely valuable but useless to Chu Xiu personally. To cash them in, he would have to contact high-level individuals...

"It seems it's time to get in touch with the government people."

Chu Xiu remembered that before the trial, someone from the government had posted, wanting to discuss matters related to the Proof of the Old Days.

Now that he had completed the Fierce Tier trial, Chu Xiu also felt confident enough to meet these people, not to mention, he also had a lot of accumulated equipment that needed to be exchanged promptly.

Without thinking further, Chu Xiu followed the guidance of the anchor point and returned to Blue Star.

As soon as he got back, he headed to an Awakened-only restaurant and had a big meal, then went home for a great night's sleep.

When he woke up, nearly all his fatigue was washed away.

Chu Xiu turned on his computer and began to get down to business.

He first researched the various materials required to refine the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array.

As Chu Xiu expected, every one of the substitute materials was extremely expensive.

There was no choice. Each world seemed vastly different, but many principles were universal. For instance, submarines move underwater and fighter jets fly in the sky, but both require extremely durable steel and metal.

The Extraordinary World was no different. The materials he needed were also needed by other professions, like the blood required for drawing Array Patterns, which Mage professions also use to draw arrays.

"Heavy Water Nether Sand, five million per grain, and it takes a minimum of twenty grains to refine an array flag, that's a billion. Spirit Communication Wood Core, a single piece costs over a billion. Also, it must at least be General Tier, demanding Yin Attribute beast hide with excellent mana conductivity..."

The more Chu Xiu calculated, the more his scalp tingled.

These materials that could be bought with money were still considered good. There were many advanced materials for which sellers weren't short on cash! It either required high-tier equipment for trade or payment with Cause and Effect Points!

"Thus, Cause and Effect Points really are the hard currency in this world."

Leaving others aside, even he was in great need of Cause and Effect Points. Despite receiving a large trial reward, he was still nearly ten thousand points short of refining to the Fourth Layer of the Golden Flesh and Nether Bone, so he couldn't possibly use Cause and Effect Points to exchange for these materials.

He did have plenty of equipment, but the sellers of these materials were mostly General Tier or higher Awakened. Aside from Legendary Equipment, they barely looked at other equipment.
