Chapter 178 -140: The Administrator’s Special Task, Cage of the Stars_2
[‘Master Astromancer — Xiamala’ suddenly releases a burning beam of light from its huge eye, incinerating your fired arrows into ashes…]
Lin Xun is furious about the unexplained destruction of ammunition worth 100 Spirituality points.
[You sprint forward with giant strides, leap into the air and smash the ‘Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ held in your hands towards the monster…]
[‘Master Astromancer — Xiamala’, suspends himself in mid-air, causing your attack to fall into the void.]
Lin Xun gives a cold laugh.
So he can fly, can he? He happens to possess the Mage Shell that can deal with airborne enemies. Do you think I’ll allow a flying eyeball to swagger about here?
Just about to switch to the Shell of the Yellow Bishop…
[‘Combat Angel — Valkyrie’, pulls out an ‘Arrow of the Gale’ from behind.]
[She tilts her ear to listen to the whisper of the wind, then suddenly pulls the bowstring taut like a full moon, a white whirlwind gathers rapidly at the arrowhead!]
[With a thud, the arrow tail leaves a white vortex in its wake, turning into a swift meteor, shooting toward the monster…]
[The meteor pierces the monster’s giant eye, bringing forth a mournful howl as the monster collapses to the ground…]
[Your Watcher defeated Master Astromancer — Xiamala, massively boosting your experience points!]
Alright, the Valkyrie stole the kill again.
“Maybe I need to have a chat with the Valkyrie. Opportunities like this, which can dramatically flaunt my abilities, should be left for me to handle.”
Even as he says this, Lin Xun couldn’t help but admire the Valkyrie.
While browsing the library, I should buy her some powerful arrows, the ones that cost ten thousand Spiritual points each.
[You have acquired ‘One Small Unyielding Chunk of Spirituality’*1]
[You have acquired the ‘Giant Eyeball of Star Gazing’ (Rare+ Level)]
[You have acquired the ‘Key of the Collected Treasure Chest’ (Key)]
[You look at the husk of the monster in front of you…]

[‘Master Astromancer — Xiamala’, an astromancer who reshapes and mutates his body whilst gazing at the stars in search of knowledge yet untapped by mankind. To better observe the stars, he transplanted the eyeballs from Stars Monsters. His cause of death was the immense force that pierced his giant eye. Compatibility 51% (+45%)]
The compatibility with the Giant Eye Monster is too low to meet the possession requirements.
Lin Xun opens his inventory to view his spoils.
‘One Small Unyielding Chunk of Spirituality’ is worth ten thousand Spirituality points, just right to use as reserve funds to buy arrows for Valkyrie.
[‘Giant Eyeball of Star Gazing’ (Rare+ Level), a magical eyeball acquired from an unknown extraterrestrial creature, a Stars Monster. It possesses the ability to gaze at the stars without a telescope.]
[This item must be used in conjunction with an empty eye socket, after which you will definitely acquire the enhanced knowledge skill.]
[This item must be used in conjunction with an empty eye socket, after which there is a certain probability of acquiring the special skill ‘Light of the Hot Star’.]
‘Light of the Hot Star’ should be the hot light beam just used by the Giant Eye Monster.
This ability is somewhat similar to the ‘Profane Sunlight’ of the Yellow Bishop.
Would there be some sort of chemical reaction if this eyeball were transplanted into a Mage?
Looking at the next item.
[‘Key of the Collected Treasure Chest’ (Key), a key made of refined copper, capable of opening the corresponding treasure chest.]
The first, second, and third floors of the Star Observatory Tower have all been thoroughly searched by Lin Xun and no treasure chests were found.
That means the treasure chest must be on the fourth floor of the Star Observatory Tower!
He immediately starts digging three feet into the ground…
However, after rummaging for a while, he only found a ‘Book Containing Some Knowledge’.
Lin Xun frowns. If the treasure chest is not on the fourth floor of the Star Observatory Tower, then where could it be?
Even after searching for a while, the fourth floor of the Star Observatory Tower did not yield a treasure chest and he had to reluctantly leave.
He takes the elevator back down to the third floor to find the ‘Librarian’.
[The ‘Librarian’ sees you return triumphantly and with the ‘Key of the Collected Treasure Chest’, he nods slightly and tells you that there is a secret area within the Star Observatory Tower…]
[‘Master Astromancer — Xiamala’s’ collected treasure chest is hidden there. Once you find the secret area and use the key to open the treasure chest, he will tell you how to proceed with the special task.]
So the collected treasure chest is in the secret area. No wonder he couldn’t find it on the fourth floor of the Star Observatory Tower.
Lin Xun furrows his brows in thought.
He has already thoroughly searched all the floors of the Star Observatory Tower… So where is this so-called secret area?
He talks to the ‘Librarian’ again.
[The ‘Librarian’ lifts his chin, indicating that you should find the secret area on your own. He won’t tell you. If you can’t find it, it means you are too dumb to undertake the special task.]
Wow, being called dumb by an NPC, that’s a new one.
Lin Xun returns to the elevator, goes back down to the bottom floor of the Star Observatory Tower, and restarts his exploration.
From the first floor to the fourth, and back to the first, he searches back and forth twice, yet he still can’t find the so-called secret area.
“Could it be that the old librarian was fooling me? Maybe there’s no secret area in the Star Observatory Tower at all.”
After coming and going without finding a secret area, Lin Xun begins to doubt that the Librarian may have tricked him.
He decides he’d better go back up to the third floor and confront the Librarian.
[You step into the elevator, the ‘Combat Angel — Valkyrie’ follows closely behind.]
[You pull the lever, and with the grinding of gears and the turning of hinges, the elevator slowly rises…]
[The elevator gradually rises to the stone tiles between the first and second floors of the tower. The open elevator allows you to clearly see that the stone layer separating the floors is half the thickness of a body…]
