Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

After settling his series of affairs, the warm oceanic scenery before him gradually turned fuzzy.

Naturally, he was now returning to the realm. When Sheyan regained his vision, he smoothly returned to his personal room.

The most pressing issue now was the safety of his two party members. Any casualty would definitely bring him unbearable pain.

Next, he wanted to carefully inspect the voyage journal log of Bernard Fokke. Fortunately, this object wasn’t restricted by the realm to be stored in the Pirates of the Caribbean world. Otherwise, he would really feel annoyed.

After a short rest in his personal room, Sheyan then received notifications from his nightmare imprint.

[ Your achievements have reached 106 points ]

[ You have fulfilled the qualifications to promote your nightmare imprint military rank. Please make haste to promote your military rank upon return to the realm! ]

Presently, Sheyan could convincingly acknowledge the importance of military rank in the nightmare realm.

Although one’s military rank rarely directly affects the offensive and defensive nature of battles, it supplied various massive advantages in other auxiliary aspects. Never forget, Sheyan was still in possession of an item he gained through the rewards of completing the Golden Side mission! The ‘Cross Honorary Medallion’!

Upon activating that medallion, his military rank could be raised by 1 rank and it was only usable by official Junior Officers or Reserve-duty Field Officers and above. Which goes to say, Sheyan could rely on this medallion to speedily promote from Captain to the processions of an official Field Officer.

Though separated by a single rank, the changes could be rated as a qualitative one instead of a quantitative one.

Speaking in the context of the military ranking system of the present world, a Captain would mostly only be able to hold the commanding post of a single company unit. However, a Major could assume the command of a battalion.

Carrying such eager emotions, Sheyan quickly traveled to the roof of the realm. Sadly, he still needed to queue for his turn.

After waiting a brief while, he abruptly received a communicating message through the nightmare imprint.

"Seaman, you actually accomplished the Golden Side Mission?"

Sheyan was instantly stunned. Evidently, Reef and Mogensha wouldn’t recklessly spread this news. Therefore, the only one eyes who knew about this was that redoubtable sniper, Growth-hunter Mcdh. Moreover, he seemed to be walking along a path close to Zi’s party…...thinking of that, Sheyan replied at once.

"You are, Zi?"

The opposite party didn’t refute but continued indifferently.

"Answer my question first."

Sheyan smirked.

"Okay, I have something right here. It will definitely be of great interest to you."

As he spoke, Sheyan transmitted full information of ‘Odin’s Surge’ over. Then he offered.

"Do you want to know why I urgently wish to transfer this information to you?"

The opposite party really took the bait and asked.

"Why?"

Sheyan then laughed heartily in response.

"Of course to provide you with more time to raise money! This thing isn’t cheap okay, I am now busy. I’ll chat with you next time. Although our earlier cooperation wasn’t exactly perfect, in lieu of former respects, I offer to trade this wondrous item for you. Aren’t I a magnanimous person? Please address me as the benevolent Seaman from now on! Haha."

Sheyan had already reached the front of the queue after this delay. It was his turn to engage in military operations.

Sheyan then sat down on the chair and pressed out the list of information.

[ Contestant no.1018 analyzing…. ]

[ Identifying status….. ]

[ Your current nightmare imprint rank is First Lieutenant ]

[ Your current achievement points is 106 points ]

[ You have attained the qualifications for a military rank promotion. Please decide if you wish to promote! 100 achievement points are required to promote from First Lieutenant to Captain. You will receive further authority and privileges after promotion ]

His decision to promote didn’t differ from the earlier times. Yet this time, after his promotion concluded, he immediately fished out that ‘Cross Honorary Medallion’ before his chest, and opted to activate it.

Although it appeared as though nothing peculiar was happening on the outside, a list of notifications came pouring in.

[ You activated the unique reward of a Golden Side Mission: The Cross Honorary Medallion! ]

[ Your present military rank fulfills the usage requirements! ]

[ You are promoted from Captain to Major!!!! ]

[ Because you activated the unique reward of a Golden Side Mission, the ‘Cross Honorary Medallion’, you need not participate in the special test for the promotion of a Junior Officer to Field Officer procession. Your test result will be taciturnity deemed as outstanding. You receive the highest authority of a Major rank. Please wait, an officer will officially confer the official rank on you ]

After receiving these notifications, the chair Sheyan was sitting on suddenly ascended further into the roof. In a flash, he vanished.

Gasps of surprise instantly erupted from the nearby contestants. Some of them were aware that represented the sign of a monumental promotion. Nevertheless, most of them believed Sheyan was promoting from a Reserve-duty Captain to a Reserve-duty Major. If they knew this ace was promoting from an official Captain to an official Major, they would be raging with envy.

When he finally ascended to the top, the chair beneath his butt was retracted away; prompting him to stand up.

All of a sudden, a hologram imagery system emerged.

At the start, the disorderly disturbances of snowflakes appeared due to contact debugging. After a while, it formed into the shape of a hunting knife, which appeared like the emblem of a particular organization.

A hoarse voice drifted in from inside.

"Congratulations on stepping into the processions of a Field officer, sir."

"Hoh? Is it actually you? Contestant no.1018, I remember, it seems like I had just taken a puff of my cigarette, since the moment I congratulated you on your promotion to 2nd Lieutenant! You’re already a Major now?"

Sheyan’s lips curled into a slight smile as he replied.

"I can only say that your earlier guidance has benefitted me greatly, sir."

"Oh, my oh. You are closing up on the goal I’ve set for you…..let me see, I see….so you utilized a ‘Cross Honorary Medallion’. That is hard to acquire, with that, your promotion speed would soar as though you were riding a laser mobile. Nevertheless, you should be careful, frequently those brats with soaring momentum would be the quickest to fall. You should be prudent from now onwards, child. Delaying your maturity speed isn’t a bad thing, besides, everything is possible only if you keep your life."

Sheyan’s expression remained unchanging as he earnestly asked.

"Should I take your words as counsel, sir?"

"No. My assertion was merely a conclusion I’ve seen throughout the years."

Sheyan laughed gently.

"I really wish I could listen to much of such conclusions."

The hoarse voice burst into laughter and issued.

"I’ve already said too much, Major. Now, receive the rewards you deserve. Perhaps, you will bring me another round of amazement the next time we meet."

A list of notifications then beamed out.

[ Your additional authority and privileges are as follows: ]

[ A: Every time you enter a nightmare world, you can receive a free ‘Honorary recovery dosage’. This dosage will share the same cooldown as other honorary dosages. It will be untradeable and unsellable. It will disappear upon departure of that nightmare world ]

[ B: You once again obtain a free purchase of a single item from the military merchant ]

[ C: Any contestant with lower military rank than you will have their damage reduced by 7% when attacking you. When attacking other contestants of lower military rank, your damage will increase by 7% ]

[ Addition of another medicine you can employ in the present world: Hyphazyme Clashreplacement injection – This medicinal injection can treat any medium intensity and tough to cure ailment in the present world. There is a 100% chance of substantially relieving the symptoms of a sick person, and 75% chance of total treatment ]

[ Effective encompassing range: Paralysis of limbs, medium degree permanent disability! ]

However, the realm especially emphasized that the medicinal effects had an expiry date of 2 years in the present world. If the sicked individual didn’t receive another dosage within these 2 years, they would return to their deformity.

The price of this medicine was astonishing, it required 30 achievement points and couldn’t be traded!

As he examined that medicine details, Sheyan couldn’t help but recall the occasional reports of ‘Healing miracles’ that surfaced in the present world. He reckoned there was definitely a connection between them and such medicines of the nightmare realm.

[ E: You can now investigate more information ]

[ F: Your party can be upgraded to level 7 ]

[ G: Military welfare (Receive 20% preferential treatment for various services in the realm. Can be stacked with charm value ]

[ H: New special ability ???? (Sealed, your title count is inadequate!) ]

The last option ‘H’ immediately aroused Sheyan! Without a doubt, that should be the ability for title synthesis!!

Sheyan hastily inquired of the nightmare realm. His current authority was already relatively outstanding.

Despite still being unable to investigate this newly acquired ability, he could consult about one matter – contestants of the reserve-duty Field Officer procession would have a chance to comprehend the ability of title synthesis after promotion.

Then since he was an official Field Officer now, most likely he would require more title count before comprehending that ability. It could even be doubled the amount.

Right now, Sheyan obviously didn’t forget he was still engaged in a military mission – to offer at most 4 blood keys. Previously, Sheyan had offered up reserve-duty Growth-hunter blood keys. As for the recent Pirates of the Caribbean world, he acquired 2 blood keys from Nick’s party. Right now, his mission was accomplished.
