The final task objective three (optional) is to gain the assistance of two Flesh and Blood Alchemy Scholars, each scholar can provide "up to" a 10% completion bonus.

Bai Pu already has Qin, whose expertise in Flesh and Blood Alchemy is indeed very high, providing the full 10% completion as one of the two scholars.

But Bai Pu still needs to find another Flesh and Blood Alchemy scholar at the same level as Qin!

The hidden difficulty in this is astonishingly high, because such scholars almost only exist in one place—the royal court of Blood Ring.

Originally, Brandonburg had a palace mage named Jialan who knew some Flesh and Blood Alchemy, but Jialan's expertise is not high enough to compare with Qin.

Moreover, this time palace mage Jialan did not accompany the army on the expedition.

"Where should I look for a Flesh and Blood Alchemy scholar? How can I determine their level?" Bai Pu asked.

Qin said, "According to intelligence, Princess Christina has been imprisoned at the Royal Alchemy Academy. Dean William Harvey there is a master of Flesh and Blood Alchemy who fully meets the criteria."

Bai Pu frowned and said, "Even if I find Dean Harvey, he probably won't comply easily. How can I ensure he doesn't do anything tricky during the heart transplant?"

Strictly speaking, this is part of Bai Pu's task difficulty, complaining to the task issuer—Qin—won't help.

Just like the hidden sub-profession change task that required hunting Jiang Tuo's Mother, "finding Jiang Tuo's Mother" is part of the task's difficulty, and Bai Pu seeking extra help from Daoist Xiuqing was not possible.

But what is the relationship between Bai Pu and Qin? They have an intimately close relationship, knowing each other's strengths and depths, so he can gain more assistance from Qin.

The key is, Qin's hidden identity makes Bai Pu feel there's great potential to be tapped.

Upon hearing Bai Pu's concerns, Qin didn't respond indifferently like Daoist Xiuqing, but smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dior. You just need to politely 'invite' Harvey to me, and I'll persuade him."

After Bai Pu took on the profession change task, Qin went to study the experimental records obtained from the Superstar Alliance.

10% completion doesn't mean Qin can just stand at the operating table and achieve it without doing anything. This is Spirit Realm, not a game! She has to fully prepare to achieve the 10% completion, otherwise if Qin doesn't take it seriously, the completion could be too low to bear looking at.

This is why Bai Pu considers [gaining the assistance of a Flesh and Blood Alchemy Scholar] a difficult option: because it requires the other party to willingly help Bai Pu in the transplant operation—luckily Qin is there.

Blood Spider's little notebook stopped at some unknown time.

"Aren't you being too hasty," Blood Spider softly said to Bai Pu, "This is SS-level difficulty... I've never seen this difficulty level before."

"Relax, it's my first time too," Bai Pu said.

"Do you have confidence in completing it?" Blood Spider asked softly.

"Actually, this task being divided into multiple branches is a good thing."

Bai Pu said calmly, "It's like breaking down the SS difficulty profession change task into multiple modules.

"Obtaining Princess Christina's Primordial Heart Tissue, if viewed alone, should be S+ level;

"The three First Generation Mutants that need to be eliminated are in different regions, the difficulty of killing each should be S- level.

"Finally, the help from scholars with Qin's assistance reduces some difficulty, I estimate it's also around S- level.

"So, this is equivalent to a task group that combines one S+ task and multiple S- tasks! Although the difficulty is high, as long as you have enough endurance, doing it step by step will eventually lead to breaking the cocoon into a butterfly."

Bai Pu initially held some caution towards Blood Spider, but now that caution has faded considerably. The reason is none other than the guidance[Wushan Divine Lady]gave so much.

Blood Spider said, "Don't forget the Awakened of the Superstar Alliance that might cause trouble. If the X factor of the Superstar Alliance is considered, the actual difficulty of this task will only be higher."

Bai Pu glanced at Blood Spider, "Why do I feel like you've been talking a lot more than when we first met?"

Blood Spider's aura paused, then turned away. Their conversation came to an abrupt stop.

Bai Pu coughed lightly and said, "The appearance of the Awakened of the Superstar Alliance actually helped me reduce the difficulty. Otherwise, do you think I would have smoothly met the militia led by Yingwa, and then found Qin upon first entering the world? The point of entry was a compensation secretly made by Spirit Realm Will!"

Blood Spider didn't speak anymore, just took out a notebook and jotted it down.

...

That night, Bai Pu met Cwieg's Adjutant returning from patrolling the city.

At this point, Cwieg's Adjutant had become a Level 6 Leader template.

Cwieg in the world of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin] was already a Level 3 Enhanced Elite, coming to the world of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Mutant], rising to Level 6 Enhanced Elite is normal.

However, the transition from Enhanced Elite to Leader Template is due to Cwieg's Adjutant's elevated status in the world of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Mutant].

He is Duke William's adjutant, mixed into the position of First Legion Commander in the Divine Luo Expeditionary Army!

As part of the world waymark, the improvement in the title and status of natives in the world also triggers the evolution of strength or templates.

Cwieg's Adjutant—now Cwieg Corps Commander, rising to Leader Template is also normal.

Upon seeing Bai Pu, Cwieg Corps Commander did not assume a lofty posture. Because he knows, Duke William holds this "weak" young man in high regard.

This regard stems not from strength, but from Bai Pu's wisdom and keen strategic insight! It was Bai Pu who analyzed the hiding place of Blood Hand Columbus's flagship, allowing Brandon's rebel army to timely wipe out the Blood Ring's vanguard forces, winning the initiative in this war.

According to Cwieg Corps Commander, they are the vanguard, and Duke William is leading the second main army group of the Divine Luo Expeditionary Army, crossing the sea and expected to arrive within three days.

"In these three days, has Lord Cwieg considered taking the initiative?" Bai Pu asked.

Cwieg shook his head, "My task is to capture Malmö, securing a place for the main army group to rest after crossing the sea. Now that my task is complete, there's no need to provoke other things."

Blood Spider frowned slightly, thinking that triggering the mainline task might have to wait for Duke William's main army group to arrive.

Bai Pu smiled and said, "Lord Cwieg, first allow me to congratulate you on excellently completing the task handed to you by the Duke. However, if you can send people to gather detailed intelligence on the enemy and eliminate small enemy strongholds before the Duke arrives with the main army group, I believe the Duke will trust you more."

Cwieg took Bai Pu's advice seriously, and immediately began to ponder.

Then, he looked up and said, "You're right, Dior. Obtaining detailed pre-war intelligence can shorten the preparation time before the army's attack. But staying here doesn't mean I'm idle, I need to eliminate the unstable factors in Malmö and guard this city. So, can I entrust you with the task of intelligence gathering?"

Cwieg decided to guard Malmö City because Qin encountered an assassination attempt, and Cwieg saw this as the work of Blood Ring's remnants in Malmö City.

If someone dares to assassinate the Duke when Duke William's army arrives, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Cwieg has to take the blame first.

Bai Pu had already received a prompt message from Spirit Realm Will:

[Main line task step 1: Expeditionary Army's scout initiated.]

He smiled and accepted the task, saying, "Rest assured, leave it to me."
