Chapter 271 -269: Two Conditions (Second Update)
“I have nothing on me that could serve as a reward for you,” Thorne said with a helpless spread of his hands.
He wasn’t fighting with a stick and divine spirits just to show off; it was because he genuinely didn’t have a suitable weapon. His past equipment had all been left with the Oblivion Legion, so he had no choice but to make do with a branch.
Now, Thorne was penniless, so poor that he had to rely on War God Urd for sustenance.
“But I can promise to help you once,” Thorne said with an extremely sincere tone to Skim Milk, No Sugar Added, “As long as it’s within my abilities and doesn’t violate my ‘morals,’ no matter what you request of me, I will help you fulfill it, just once… and after proving that your method indeed works.”
As soon as Thorne’s words ended, a hidden quest popped up in front of Skim Milk, No Sugar Added.
‘Hidden Quest·Gratitude of the Eternal Thorne.
Quest Description: Thorne wishes to entrust you with resolving the issue of the diminishing number of divine spirit challengers.
Quest Requirement: ? Quest Reward: Thorne’s Promise x1 (This reward has a 5% chance of failure).’
A 5% chance of failure? So, this Eternal might have a teeny tiny chance of breaking his word, huh?
But the allure is still very strong! Thorne is someone who can pin down a bunch of professional players and beat them up.
Although the reward is only a one-time use of Thorne like a summoned beast, that one time should be enough for Skim Milk, No Sugar Added to make a fortune.
“So, I’ll start explaining…”
As Skim Milk, No Sugar Added began to teach Thorne, the other Divine Chosen also gathered around, curious to know what exactly the divine spirits were yearning for.
But what Skim Milk, No Sugar Added taught Thorne was not something superficial like increasing rewards, but… the freaking lowering of instance difficulty!
It wasn’t strictly lowering the instance difficulty, at least it had to give players challenging Thorne an illusion of ‘I can win.’ The method was…
“Each of us divine spirits can manifest our life force as a specific value, which is our hit points,” Skim Milk, No Sugar Added said, and she directly took out her Gospel, turning to an empty blank page to start drawing.
She drew a square, and marked Thorne’s hit points on it.
“I’m familiar with this term; it is often mentioned when battling with divine spirits,” the Sun God’s Divine Chosen seemed to know what hit points were.
“Yes, the hit points you have left are fifteen thousand,” Skim Milk, No Sugar Added showed Thorne the page of the Gospel and said, “Most of the time when divine spirits battle you, it’s hard for them to even touch you, let alone reduce your hit points!”
Skim Milk, No Sugar Added had watched the video of Thorne’s duel with Juan Canyun. Throughout the entire match, Juan Canyun didn’t even manage to touch Thorne and was directly carried off by him.
So, on the arena, a player who can knock off five hundred points of Thorne’s hit points is already a PVP god among players, above a thousand is entrance level professional, and five thousand is something top professional players might ‘possibly’ achieve.
Therefore, the remaining fifteen thousand hit points Thorne still had were a desperate figure for most players, including professionals.
Even Zhao Mingwei, in his last two battles out of three, had barely scraped away three hundred of Thorne’s hit points.
“So, in your next battle, you need to ‘throw’ a few times! But be careful not to do it too much; it’ll get noticed. Do it bit by bit, of course, I can do it on your behalf,” Skim Milk, No Sugar Added said.
Skim Milk, No Sugar Added drew a section on her notebook’s hit points, leaving only two thousand and five thousand.
“You aren’t the type whose self-esteem is too high to ‘throw’ a fight, are you?”
“I only long for the thrill of battling powerful divine spirits; it doesn’t matter to me if they can achieve this by severing my arm,” Thorne cracked a not-so-funny joke.
Pride was something that had stopped mattering to him in his long years of existence.
What he wanted was to feel the ‘tension’ of being vulnerable in a fight, and only divine spirits could provide that.
“Alright then, in your first match tomorrow, start by throwing the fight, letting the divine spirits cut your hit points down to five thousand or below two thousand; choose whichever you like. I’ll remind you from beside the arena,” Skim Milk, No Sugar Added said.
Five thousand and two thousand hit points – those were amounts divine spirits could easily take down with one or two decent level 40 skills, like the Swordsman’s Sword Draw Slash or the Gun Master’s Quantum Bomb; both could deal over two thousand hit points of damage.
So the question arises… Before, it was because one had absolutely no chance of encountering Thorne, and even when they did, it would take many tries to defeat him.
Now, you only need to encounter Thorne once! It doesn’t matter what skill you throw, as long as the skill barely touches Thorne, then the 630,000 Yuan player’s console prize can be taken straight home!
In this case, will the players fight, or not?
Even those professional players might secretly come over to try their luck, right?
“There’s a drawback to this approach, which is that if you get hit once or twice, you’ll be declared a failure,” said Add Milk No Sugar.
“Do divine spirits still have a health point standard? I thought the fight would go on until one side couldn’t move. This… This isn’t a drawback at all, sorry, please continue,” Thorne said, suppressing the smile on his face.
“The second point is a bit more troublesome, I could explain it in more detail if you paid, but never mind, I’ll just say it.”
Add Milk No Sugar isn’t very familiar with the professional gaming circle, and she couldn’t explain it very clearly. She wouldn’t sell this kind of low-level service for money.
So she simply opened her Gospel Book and, after realizing she couldn’t show the online pictures to Thorne, she could only reluctantly write down a name.
This name was written in the language of this world. Add Milk No Sugar had self-taught the language of this world to do better business in Divine Grace Town.

“Juan Canyun?” Thorne read the name out loud.
“Exactly, does it ring a bell?” Add Milk No Sugar asked.
“I do recall, the first divine spirit to battle me, his fighting style was very naive, like a newly hatched chick,” Thorne said.
“A newly hatched chick…”
Hearing Thorne’s assessment, Add Milk No Sugar thought about Juan Canyun. Although he had only recently become a professional player and was young, his talent for battle was truly high. It could be seen from his ability to reach the top thirty in the ladder rankings even after changing games, that Juan Canyun had great potential.
Young as he was, Juan Canyun was still stronger than most of the players amongst the divine spirits, but turned into a chick when facing Thorne?
“All divine spirits seem like newly hatched chicks to me, only a small portion of them are starting to grow full feathers,” Thorne said without holding back.
“They may wield the mighty power of the Devouring God, and their paths of extending that power are different, but they can’t control their own powers well. They simply release that power in a rigid way,” he added.
After this statement, Add Milk No Sugar looked at the Divine Chosen standing beside her, and they all subtly wiped the nonexistent sweat from their foreheads.
The Divine Chosen have been pecked all over by those divine spirit chicks, some almost met their maker right after returning.
Even if the divine spirits are chicks, they are probably those of a carnivorous bird of prey kind – the kind whose egg is as tall as a building.
“Then, if Juan Canyun challenges you later, try to teach him some unparalleled martial skills. I don’t know how else to describe it, just make him stronger,” said Add Milk No Sugar.
She wasn’t sure if this method would work, but it was the best way to solve Thorne’s lack of challengers – by having Juan Canyun… during the playoffs against the team Conquer, to shatter the gossip and rumors with absolute strength.
But Add Milk No Sugar was not very knowledgeable about the professional circuit, so she wasn’t too confident about this proposal.
“In combat, I have been trying to teach those divine spirits some techniques, hoping to make them stronger, but I’ve only met that Juan Canyun once,” Thorne said.
What Thorne meant was… he’d like to teach Juan Canyun, provided the guy was willing to come over and get beaten up!
“I’ll find a way, I still know the friend of a friend of a friend of Juan Canyun’s, I should be able to get him… to fight you a few times,” said Add Milk No Sugar, really uncertain of her success, but she still had to try.
After all, she’s also a divine spirit player and was quite uncomfortable with the whole net blackening divine spirits.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qiao, standing behind Add Milk No Sugar in his ghostly state, gestured OK.
The friend Add Milk No Sugar mentioned was, of course, Jiang Qiao, whose friend was Zhao Mingwei, whose friend in turn was Mo Shigui, and Mo Shigui’s friend… reached Juan Canyun.
But upon further thought, Jiang Qiao realized that Add Milk No Sugar’s plan was feasible. The Jumping Nuclear Club probably had the same idea, and Juan Canyun right now… was online.
He was chatting with Fureya in the Cathedral of the Resurrected… maybe because he was under too much stress recently.
