Bai Pu took the crystal ball back to verify his suspicion.

He looked closely, and behind the equipment name of the crystal ball, the word [Sealed] was still displayed.

As expected, the natives wouldn't let the equipment be unsealed. This explained why natives could strip equipment from other natives and use it, as they didn't need Spiritual Ability Resonance at all.

On the other hand, Spiritual Ability Resonance is actually a step in activating the attribute bonuses of equipment, which is why natives do not enjoy the attribute bonuses of equipment.

"Dior, since the equipment is so important to you, why don't I get a couple of suitable pieces of equipment from the Guardian Knights for you?" Qin suddenly thought out loud.

"No, I can only activate sealed equipment. The equipment you have must all be unsealed."

Bai Pu explained, "The reason this crystal ball is sealed is because it's my spoils. The process of drawing spoils cards from the treasure chest is actually the Spirit Realm Will sealing process."

"I want to see the spoils treasure chest you mentioned. Can I see it now?" Qin asked, her curiosity piqued like a Persian cat's.

"Now that you are my apostle, you should be able to see it."

Bai Pu still had a Bloody Treasure Chest acquired from Hidden Snake. Initially, he planned to open it at the Special Service Bureau, but since Qin had the need, he would certainly oblige.

The Bloody Treasure Chest from Hidden Snake was larger than any Bloody Treasure Chest Bai Pu had obtained before. The dense blood color on it was like dried blood that couldn't be washed away.

Killing Hidden Snake did not increase Bai Pu's Bloody Value; Spirit Realm Will still judged Bai Pu to have killed Hidden Snake in a "self-defense counterattack" state.

It seemed that the Spirit Realm Will's determination of a "self-defense counterattack" was quite intelligent and was not mechanically based on who attacked first!

Although Hidden Snake hadn't attacked Bai Pu at the time, he attempted to intrude through the bunker door at the last critical moment of Bai Pu's job transition, with the subjective intent of invasion. Bai Pu later chased and killed Hidden Snake after successfully transitioning, which the Spirit Realm Will judged as self-defense counterattack.

Thus, Bai Pu's Bloody Value was still zero.

When Bai Pu opened the Bloody Treasure Chest, Qin curiously reached out to touch it, but her hand passed through the chest as if it were void.

"This is my spoil, so only I have the authority to open it," Bai Pu said.

Qin pursed her lips, not entirely convinced.

In the Bloody Treasure Chest from Hidden Snake, amidst a bloody whirlwind, countless Bloody Cards floated within. Occasionally, one could catch a glimpse of the glow from blue, golden, and other equipment.

[The related deceased's Bloody Value is 47 points. When drawing from the Bloody Treasure Chest, you are more likely to draw high-valued items.]

[Based on the deceased's Bloody Value, you can filter and exclude two of the following options:]

[A: Spiritual Points carried by the deceased (Number of cards: 3)]

[B: Equipment worn by the deceased (Number of cards: 16)]

[C: Items in the deceased's Storage Space (Number of cards): 29]

[D: Honor Points from the deceased's participation in the Spirit Realm War (Number of cards: 3)]

[Note: Option D only appears in Bloody Treasure Chests obtained during Spirit Realm War when killed in self-defense counterattack state.]

This time, there was an extra option in the Bloody Treasure Chest: Honor Points from the Spirit Realm War!

Bai Pu thought of Hidden Snake's military rank, which was already at the Black Iron Lieutenant level! There must be substantial Honor Points.

Although Bai Pu had researched the role of military rank, his understanding was vague. The Spirit Realm Will only mentioned, "Rank represents authority and can be used to exchange for some rare items when entering or exiting the Spirit Realm."

However, Bai Pu could still discern that rank must be a level of authority worth pursuing! After all, a Spirit Realm War was underway, and the Spirit Realm to which Bai Pu belonged would undoubtedly focus on warfare aspects. If the rank rewards weren't tempting enough, how could they entice the Awakened to risk their lives and actively participate?

Bai Pu chose to exclude options B and C. The 48 Bloody Cards before him instantly vanished in large numbers, leaving only 6 Bloody Cards!

These 6 cards comprised 3 Spiritual Points cards and 3 Honor Points cards.

Bai Pu also received a hint that based on Hidden Snake's 47 Bloody Value, he could exclude (8) low-valued cards.

Bai Pu decisively chose not to exclude any.

Kidding, there were only 6 cards left; if he excluded 8 more, he'd be drawing air.

Fortunately, Bai Pu had two chances to draw cards. With a touch, two cards flipped over.

One card depicted a gold coin, and Bai Pu received the prompt:

[You have obtained 8000 Spiritual Points.]

The other card showed a medal, prompting Bai Pu with:

[You have obtained 380 Honor Points.]

[Your current Honor Points have reached 440 (440/100), automatically promoting you to Sergeant!]

[Your current Honor Points have reached 440 (440/300), automatically promoting you to Senior Sergeant!]

[Once your Honor Points reach 1000, you will qualify for a promotion to Lieutenant.]

His rank jumped from Corporal to Senior Sergeant, yet Bai Pu fell into contemplation:

Why were Hidden Snake's Honor Points so high?

Clearly, Hidden Snake, as a Black Iron Lieutenant, meant he had accumulated 1000 Honor Points and completed the promotion to Lieutenant "assessment"!

Bai Pu had destroyed an Otherworld Space-Time Node, earning only 60 Honor Points; even with a Black Iron Medal exchange of 100 Honor Points, it was merely 160 Honor Points.

Did Hidden Snake really destroy more than 10 Otherworld Space-Time Nodes?

Reflecting on the Otherworld Traveler "Mo Shate," who guarded the Space-Time Nodes with countless high-damage Magic and powerful Control and Displacement Skills, Bai Pu thought the opponent's strength should surpass Hidden Snake's.

Even though an Agility Type Assassin has an advantage against a Mage, shouldn't the Otherworld Travelers guarding the Space-Time Nodes not all be Casters?

Hidden Snake seemed unlikely to have destroyed so many Otherworld Space-Time Nodes.

Could there be a world where Honor Points could be collected in large quantities?

Bai Pu, finding it perplexing, decided to stop pondering and turned to Qin: "You can see it all now, right?"

"Mm, I can see it. Is this a unique way for your world's humans to obtain spoils? It's fascinating," Qin said with a smile.

"Now, rest time is over."

Bai Pu stood up, removed his robe, and donned his equipment again. "It's time to do the last thing I have in this world—eliminate Emperor Gustav."

Emperor Gustav, a Lord Level powerhouse.

In any other world, Bai Pu wouldn't dare to casually utter the word "eliminate."

Because a Lord is often the head of a faction. Most Awakened wouldn't speak of killing a Lord; even seeing one is a rare feat, not to mention having to pass through the Lord's elite guards.

But in the world of the Flesh and Blood Plague, Bai Pu had this confidence.
