The Iron Cross Medal was the highest honor for a German soldier. It contained the faith and glory of the German Army, and even the spirit of the entire German nation. It could be called a vital tool for the military state.

Even though the First Class Iron Cross was still only Sub-Legendary after promotion and did not have an Artifact Spirit, this military treasure was fundamentally different from other Legendary Items. If the military spirit and faith attached to it condensed into an Artifact Spirit, it would directly skip low-level Legendary and become a High Rank Legendary Item, or even a Divine Artifact.

Qin Lun turned off the projector and let out a soft sigh. After solving the urgent problem, he found another sofa to sit on. He took out a stack of materials bound like a book from his Storage Space and began to read.

This was information about Nen Ability application techniques. Back in the Hunter World, after the Phantom Troupe’s first attack on the Yorknew City Auction, the Mafia placed a high bounty on the Troupe. Qin Lun used catching Uvogin as leverage to get a stack of information about Nen Ability application techniques from the representative of the Ten Dons.

However, this stack of materials was not a Skill Scroll. Apart from introducing and explaining the Nen Ability application techniques, it could not actually make Qin Lun learn these techniques.

Due to the Apostle profession system, Qin Lun could not obtain the complete Nen Ability. At least, he could not use “Zetsu” and “Ren” from the Four Major Principles. As for the defensive “Ten” and “Hatsu,” he could only use similar skills related to himself.

Among the seven high-level application techniques in this stack, he could use “Shu,” a pure defense technique related to “Ten.” However, his “Blood of Dissection” was a highly aggressive Nen that devoured and corroded. Using it for “Shu’s” surface defense was barely acceptable.

As for the other six high-level application techniques: “In” was related to “Zetsu,” and the other five techniques were related to “Ren.” He could not use any of them.

Nevertheless, this technical data on Nen Ability still gave him a lot of inspiration. In the future, Qin Lun could simulate these Nen Ability application techniques by obtaining similar Apostle Skills, effectively helping Joey establish a professional system.

For example: He could use his Clock Eye and “Ganitus Left Eye” to simulate the effect of “Gyo.” As for combined attack and defense techniques like “En” and “Ryu,” he could look for Martial Artist skills to replace them later. Back during the Metropolis Domination War, the “Circle of Iaido” that the Kung Fu Girl Menlo comprehended after realizing the warrior’s heart left a deep impression on him.

“Qin Lun!” About half an hour later, Rand quietly appeared at a corner across the hall, secretly gesturing for him to come over. The tall Clown Grant stood beside him.

Qin Lun calmly looked around, then stood up and walked toward them.

“I’ve brought everything you wanted. It’s a total of one hundred thirty-eight thousand Shattered Crystal!” Rand took the purchased items from his Storage Space and handed them to the young man one by one. Finally, he handed over an instrument that looked like a mini radio with a short antenna. “I only found two types of Synchronous Teleporters for now. One was too expensive; this is the slightly worse one. It can be used three times after charging!”

“How are things at the villa?” Seeing that Hill and the others had indeed bought the items he needed, Qin Lun’s expression turned a bit grim instead. He fell silent for a moment before asking.

His Serial Killer companions were so cunning. If the situation at the villa wasn’t serious, they probably wouldn’t have bought these things.

“You guessed right. The villa is indeed under control. The opponents are the Chaos Team, currently ranked first in City Points. There’s probably more than one High-Rank Apostle inside. It seems you’re highly valued!” Grant crossed his arms, looking at Qin Lun with a half-smile.

Grant, Hill, and Hansen were actually quite jealous of Qin Lun before, because he could get benefits from both sides. He received investments from two Sapient Races and guidance from High-Rank Apostles. Compared to them sneaking around for extra gains and attracting envy, Qin Lun had it too easy.

However, after today’s events, the Serial Killers felt a bit sorry for Qin Lun. Good fortune often conceals disaster; being in the spotlight too much isn’t a good thing. No matter how much envy their actions attracted, their opponents were only other Novice Apostles. It wasn’t like Qin Lun, who provoked a large team full of High-Rank Apostles in one go.

Even if Qin Lun gained Sky Float’s recognition this time and received their protection, his future troubles would only increase, not decrease. At the very least, he couldn’t play both sides like before.

“How are my servants?” Qin Lun frowned, taking out the “Big Bang Impact” scroll and shoving it into Grant’s hand. Wasn’t the reason the Clown personally came with Rand because he was eager to get this Skill Scroll?

He didn’t ask how Hill and the others got the intelligence from inside the villa. These guys were as cunning as ghosts. Even just posing as delivery men or making projection calls, they could probably gather a lot of information. Qin Lun had only entered the Quest World an hour apart; the High-Rank Apostles controlling the villa probably hadn’t realized yet that the person involved had already found out.

“That hunchbacked oaf and the little thing from the Lu-Lu Tribe at your place are still alive. But the little mute from Atlantis you mentioned seems to have escaped. Hansen observed the surroundings but couldn’t find any trace of her.” Grant showed a slightly incredulous expression and couldn’t help but curl his lip.

Qin Lun raised an eyebrow, a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Hansen was a child soldier when he was young and later became a professional killer. He was quite skilled in reconnaissance and tracking. Since he said the little mute escaped, then she definitely did.

Sif survived alone in the Atlantis ruins for several years, evading many strange beasts that saw her as food. If she deliberately hid, even High-Rank Apostles might not necessarily find her.

“Qin Lun, Hill asked me to persuade you. Those Chaos guys probably just want to recruit you. Could you consider joining them temporarily? With you as an insider, it would be easy to trap them later!” Grant said with a cold laugh.

Qin Lun’s eyelids flickered, and he fell silent, beginning to consider Hill’s proposal. In fact, Hill’s past assessment of him was correct; Qin Lun was not a man who stuck to principles. If Hill’s plan was feasible, he wouldn’t mind temporarily bowing to the Chaos Team, aiming to lead them into a pit later.

However, after just a few thoughts, Qin Lun shook his head and rejected the proposal. “If I seek shelter with Sky Float now, the Chaos Team would at most be displeased. But if I join them and then trap them, the two sides would become mortal enemies.”

“Are you afraid of those High-Rank Apostles?” Grant felt slightly displeased; they were taking risks for Qin Lun, after all.

This time, Qin Lun’s coercion by the Chaos Team also struck a chord with the Serial Killers. They saw themselves as top predators in the food chain, with stronger self-esteem than ordinary people. Qin Lun’s situation made them empathize, and they naturally saw the Chaos Team as the main threat.

“You participated in the Metropolis Domination War too. You should know that among Professional Apostles, even a difference of one rank means a world of difference in strength, let alone the gap between High-Rank Apostles and us.” Qin Lun glanced at him calmly and said in a deep voice, “Under the crushing weight of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks fail. Besides, the Chaos Team doesn’t just have one or two High-Rank Apostles; at least we can’t touch them now!”

Grant’s expression froze. He snorted coldly, immediately lost interest in speaking, took out the Iron Cross Medal, threw it to Qin Lun, and turned to leave directly.

After the Joker left, Rand hesitated for a moment, then took out a card and handed it to Qin Lun. “I got this item on ‘Greed Island.’ I’m giving it to you. Use it well, it can save your life!”

Qin Lun took the card in surprise. He saw a group of flying people engraved on the card. Their bodies were wrapped in Nen, so it should be a Nen ability materialized card.

“Accompany Card”: After using the card, all people within a 20-meter radius, including the card owner, will fly to a specified location (limited to places already visited) or to the location of a specified creature (limited to creatures seen before).

After reading the card’s description, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. Used properly, this thing could indeed save a life. He looked at Rand with some surprise. “This card is very precious. What do you want in exchange?”

“Helping you doesn’t necessarily require repayment. If you care so much, just consider it you owe me a favor!” Rand waved his hand with a smile and turned to leave gracefully.

“No repayment?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, watched Rand’s retreating back, thought for a moment, and then put the card away.

…

“Qin Lun, they’ve arrived, at Transmission Hall 12.” More than ten minutes after Rand and Grant left, the Summoner Odo finally sent another message.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Odo’s hesitant expression on the projection, Qin Lun’s eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile.

“Nothing, go meet up with them quickly!” Odo hesitated for a while but ultimately didn’t say anything more.

“That’s fine too!” After closing the projection, a cold smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face.

He understood very well what Odo didn’t say. A team that just lost its Leader and suffered heavy damage, yet might be entering a Mid-Magic World—Odo obviously didn’t think highly of Qin Lun’s prospects.

However, since Odo didn’t warn Qin Lun, it meant the Tianfu Team really didn’t value this peripheral team and weren’t paying attention to him either.

This was the result Qin Lun wanted. That team suffered heavy losses in the last Quest World; they must be short on people now. As long as he showed some ability and was willing to stay, that team probably wouldn’t report his information to Sky Float. This way, he got the Sky Float name without drawing the attention of the Sky Float higher-ups.
