Nighttime.
After having dinner made by Lian Meng, Han Xing quietly pondered his next plan.
He's already reached level 10, and it's urgent for him to choose a profession.
Though he has the 'Elf Shooter' Hidden Profession Scroll, he's also very interested in the 'Wild Ranger' profession.
However, so far, he hasn't encountered the key item, which is the Chapter of Freedom.
With a try-it-out attitude, Han Xing searched for the term [Chapter of Freedom] in the trading channel.
The next moment, a consignment message appeared in front of him.
Han Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Holy crap, there really is one!!!"
Han Xing was so excited he almost jumped up.
But thinking about it, it seemed normal.
After all, there are still over 9,000 people left in the 107th district, among which there are surely some lucky individuals, commonly known as Emperors of Luck.
Even if the chance of the Chapter of Freedom appearing is small, with so many people, the chance becomes larger.
Han Xing quickly checked the consignment information.
He found that the consignor was a Survivor named Tangxin Mumu, and the name sounded like a girl's; what she needed was an Advanced Profession Scroll for a Mage.
"Advanced Profession Scroll?"
Han Xing was somewhat puzzled.
This thing, he really didn't have on hand.
Oh, no, perhaps he had one, but it was for the Hunter hidden profession, while she was a Mage, so it wouldn't be useful to her.
Currently, in the whole 107th district, not many Advanced Profession Scrolls should have been produced.
Aside from the 100 given as leaderboard rewards last time, others could only obtain Advanced Profession Scrolls through opening treasure chests.
And at the minimum, a Silver Level chest is required to open a Profession Scroll.
So, in the entire 107th district, the number of Advanced Profession Scrolls should not exceed 1,000.
No wonder this Tangxin Mumu is trading for this; she's preparing early for when she levels up to 10.
Although Han Xing didn't have Profession Scrolls, he still had many valuable items, so he tried to contact this Survivor.
Han Xing directly sent a private message.
"Hello, can the Chapter of Freedom in your possession be exchanged for other items?"
At this time, on a Sky Island Territory.
A beautiful, tall woman was battling a group of goblins.
Her facial features were regular, her long black hair flowing down her waist, giving her quite the look of a charming lady.
In front of her, three other Survivors were engaged in combat with the monsters.
They seemed to be a temporary team.
Two melee professions were holding back the monsters, and this Female Mage stood at the back of the team, calmly dealing damage.
Just then, the Female Mage had a sudden movement in expression as she saw a private message.
She initially thought of finishing off this group of Sky Island Monsters and then replying.
However, when she saw the ID of the private message sender, she blinked in disbelief.
"Oh my... it's him?"
After confirming she was not mistaken, her breath became a bit rapid.
She quickly said to her teammates, "You guys hold on, I have something urgent, need to reply to a message!"
The teammates were somewhat surprised but still eagerly said, "Alright, Mumu, if you're tired, go take a break."
"Yes, leave this to us."
Tangxin Mumu nodded, then excitedly opened the chat window.
Upon seeing the message from Han Xing, her eyebrows moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, "Hello Star God, this 'Chapter of Freedom' can be exchanged with me for other items."
Her voice was clear and her pronunciation seemed well trained.
Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief at this; thankfully, this person was open to negotiation.
"Alright, let me know what you need, I want to trade with you."
Tangxin Mumu did not immediately answer but paused for a moment before asking, "Is this stamp... very important to you?"
Listening to Tangxin Mumu's voice message, Han Xing fell into deep thought.
Right off the bat with this kind of question?
This woman, could she be probing how important the Chapter of Freedom is to him, intending to extort a high price?
Now, all the Survivors in the 107th district knew he had many great items on hand.
After a moment, Han Xing did not answer her question but instead asked back, "Isn't its function written in the item introduction?"
Tangxin Mumu quickly replied, "No, the introduction only says that this stamp contains the aura of freedom, and all other functions are not included."
The aura of freedom, why does that sound a bit strange?
This item introduction made Han Xing involuntarily twitch his mouth.
Luckily, the item didn't reveal its true purpose, which is to summon the remaining will of the Wild Ranger from the world.
Currently, even if other Survivors obtained it, they wouldn't know what this seal is for.
So, it's normal for Tangxin Mumu to bring it out for exchange.
Thinking of this, Han Xing replied, "It's pretty important to me, I'm on a mission and need this Chapter of Freedom for a key part."
He didn't purposely downplay its importance because nobody would believe that.
Tangxin Mumu hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked, "Can you tell me a little bit about what the mission is?"
After speaking, she quickly explained, "Star God, don't misunderstand, I'm just curious because the way I got this seal was also very strange."
"Strange?"
"Yes."
Tangxin Mumu began to explain in detail.
"It was by chance that my companions and I discovered a massive Sky Island."
"There was no cloud cover over this Sky Island, and its size rivaled that of a mountain range!"
Han Xing considered for a moment, and listening to her description, it seemed similar to the Sky Island where he encountered monstrous birds last time.
Tangxin Mumu continued.
"We ventured deeper into that Sky Island, and to our surprise, found that there lived a native tribe with strange tattoos. The natives told me these were Witch Patterns."
"We started to explore the tribe and found their customs very strange. Every night, they gather all the tribespeople and hold a peculiar ceremony, worshipping a White Wolf statue."
"Recently, the tribe has been plagued by a monster, a jungle serpent over ten meters long, a Level 10 Elite Monster."
"The serpent continuously attacked the tribe, with its people repeatedly falling victim and being swallowed alive."
"At this point, the system issued a mission asking us to help eliminate the serpent threat."
"My companions and I accepted the mission, and after a tough battle, we finally killed the serpent. As a token of gratitude, the tribe's Clan Leader took this seal from the eye of the White Wolf statue for us."
"I heard from him something about a Legendary Profession, something about the title of Demigod..."
"But up to now, I still don't know the seal's purpose, so I'm really curious."
After hearing her story, Han Xing also felt quite puzzled.
His understanding of the Wild Ranger wasn't much more than Tangxin Mumu's either.
Han Xing thought for a moment and replied, "You're right, it is indeed a mission item related to the Hidden Profession of Hunters."
On the other side, Tangxin Mumu exhaled slightly, showing an expression of 'I knew it.'
To prevent her from asking for too much, Han Xing continued, "But you should know, I was also the first on the last leaderboard, and I already have a Hidden Profession Scroll."
"So, this Chapter of Freedom isn't as important to me as one might think."
Then, Han Xing said directly, "Just name your price, as long as it's not too outrageous, I can accept it."
Hearing this, Tangxin Mumu recalled that it was Star River who ranked first last time as well.
With that reckoning, Star River was a dual champion.
There, Tangxin Mumu lightly bit her lip and softly said, "Star God, how about this."
"I'll give you this seal for free, but you need to agree to one request of mine."
"Request?" Han Xing asked in a peculiar tone.
He wouldn't feel happy just because someone offered something for free; he knew very well that in this world, free things are usually the most costly.
"Let's hear it, what's your condition," Han Xing asked.
Tangxin Mumu took a deep breath, "It's nothing serious, I just hope that you'll agree to an interview with me afterward."
"An interview?"
Han Xing was very surprised; this was the first time in his life someone wanted to interview him.
Tangxin Mumu affirmed, "Yes, but not right now. I know the Star God must be very busy at the moment."
Not long ago, Han Xing had issued a bounty against the largest team in Zone 107.
Even she knew just how significant this was among the Survivors.
Tangxin Mumu continued, "I won't take up much of the Star God's time. Once my Level is up and I've built a Teleportation Array, I'll schedule a time for the interview."
"However, I prefer for this interview to be face-to-face."
"In other words, I hope the Star God can allow me to visit your territory for the interview, what do you think?"
This condition made Han Xing contemplate.
He wasn't afraid of this woman having any bad intentions.
Han Xing just didn't understand why she wanted to interview him.
Tangxin Mumu seemed to sense Han Xing's doubts and explained, "Star God, you should also be from Xinyang City, right? I'm not sure if you've heard my name on short video platforms."
As she mentioned it, Han Xing was lost in thought.
After a while, Han Xing suddenly recalled something and exclaimed, "Are you the internet celebrity with millions of followers on short video sites?"
Tangxin Mumu smiled back, "Yes, Star God, I'm honored you know of me."
Han Xing was taken aback; as a modern person, almost everyone is exposed to these short videos.
Even though Han Xing rarely engaged with them, in the age of big data, it's hard to completely avoid them once you're online.
And he had seen Tangxin Mumu's works before, which explained why her name felt somewhat familiar.
She wasn't the kind of borderline internet celebrity he had in mind; her content leaned more towards easy-going store visits and daily sharing, with a humorous tone and her outstanding looks, she attracted quite a following.
But in this world, the so-called internet celebrity status had no real usefulness; it wouldn't bring her any advantages.
