Chapter 3427 Conquering II
I seeped my soul sense into the black card from Prime organization Gelmar.
Immediately, an information package appeared in front of me, but I discarded it and went for the real thing.
Behind it is a big gift basket. Filled with resources. From potions, and processed essence to books, to real resources, everything is in there wrapped beautifully.
Most importantly, all of them are the resources of Sky Sovereign Grade; some of them are quite good.
The moment I realized they were the recruiters. I decided to play them and why not? These resources have come from their organization to get talented seeds.
It is very risky.
Since the face could only be changed once, I have a way for that too. The only thing I have to do is get as much as points as possible.
The second crystal card also had the same level of resources as the one that the woman gave me. The other four also had Sky Sovereign grade resources, but 75% of them were of the Earth Sovereign grade.
I checked all of them and put them back into my core.
I began to make myself toward my next destination, which had a challenge of runic puzzles.
It took me fifteen minutes to reach there; I would have come sooner, but I was stopped by four people on the way and handed a card.
Three are from Sky Sovereign grade organizations; one is from Prime.
I took them without hesitation and placed them in my core.
I looked at the beautiful white building in front of me; it was a long single-floor building divided into twelve parts.
It had a roof and large beautiful limestone pillars; it didn"t have walls, which meant anyone watching could see what was happening inside and who attending, which level.
People are present on all levels, which means. I have to hurry before someone solves it.
All minute, new people are coming, and I am sure many of them would be better than me.
I am the best at my level, but there are three Sovereigns stages above me and I am not narcissistic enough to believe I am better than all of them.
Soon, I entered the building, and it was beautiful with huge pillars inside that were lit up by natural light.
I looked around, entering an empty circle; a moment later, a puzzle appeared in front of me.
It is three by three cube; though far more difficult to solve than the simple toy.
I took it in my and began to move it as fast as I could and in five seconds. I solved it.
Buzz!
It buzzed and a moment later; I disappeared and appeared in the second room.
When a standard runic puzzle appeared in front of me; I quickly moved to the runes and within three seconds, I solved it.
The first five puzzles were solved within ten seconds; the sixth one took forty-two seconds, and the seventh one two minutes, and fifty-five seconds.
Eighth one took eleven minutes and seventeen seconds and ninety-one took twenty-seven minutes and five seconds.
The tenth took fifty-one minutes and nine seconds, and the eleventh took one hour and forty-seven minutes.
I am solving the puzzles faster than the equations, which is not surprising, considering, I had spent years in training in puzzles and still give considerable time to it.
It all is due to the library and its challenges.
Library is extremely important to me, and I need to continue to improve to deal with its ever-harder challenges.
Buzz!
I finally appeared in the twelfth room and in front of me was the hardest challenge of this place.
A moving steel sphere as big as me, with tiny runes covering every part of it. These runes are smaller than even ants and to make things challenging, the sphere is moving.
As I studied it, I moved small variations occurring in its spins every thirty seconds. They are faint, but I was able to notice it.
The thing, the moment change occurred in its spins; runes shuffled in random directions.
"Interesting," I said with a smile.
There are seven people, all busy with their spheres; most of them have frustration and anger on their faces, as they look at the sphere.
I only glanced at them for a moment before focusing completely on the sphere in front of me. It will be a challenge, but I am excited about it and, in compet.i.tion with me, I am even more motivated than before.
An hour pa.s.sed, and then another, and then another.
Now, I have the same frustrated expression as the people around me, but there is also a smile on my face.
The puzzle is very hard. So much that it is making me doubt myself, whether I could even solve it with the time I have.
I love such challenges, which make me doubt myself; they help me push beyond my limits.
Another hour and a half pa.s.sed, and my face lit up and I started to move my hand very fast.
I did it for nearly an hour and watched it with the bated breath.
Buzz!
The buzzing round rang out, and the runes began to turn rapidly, with the sphere"s shape changing and soon it turned into a steely trophy.
I looked at it for a moment and picked it up.
"Congratulations First Conqueror of Temple of Runic Puzzles."
The voice rang out as I picked up the trophy and everything red in the hall had turned green.
Hun!
I was enjoying the gazes of people when suddenly the trophy collapsed into the b.a.l.l.s of irons, and they began to slide into my badge.
Taking, my points to the four thousand.
Like the last challenge, this challenge also gave me two thousand points. There would be a huge number of points for most people here, but to me, they are not enough.
If I had read right, then I would need even more points to accomplish what I need.
Buzz!
The formation behind my feet buzzed, and I teleported to the first hall. Where all of them looked at me with shock, before swarming toward me, with many holding a crystal card.
I took their congratulations and their cards.
I am also grateful for a person who had spread the news of me conquering the earlier challenge; it increased my value to these people even more.
If any of them would successfully be able to recruit me; their organization would reward them heavily.
Organizations have put huge incentives on people who are able to recruit the best seeds.
It took me a few minutes before I walked out and moved toward my destination. On the way, I was caught up by many people, who handed me the cards, which I graciously took.
Soon, I reached my destination; a four-story building, and walking toward it, when I stopped.
Another building beside it caught my eye; it is of culinary challenge, and I wanted to go there, but I pushed that desire away.
I have to finish with the runic challenges first; then I will get healing and then culinary.
Alchemy and artifice will came at last.
