Cherreads

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Intelligence System

The intelligence system refreshes its information every 5 days. Today is the 5th, so the next refresh will be on the 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th... and then it returns to the 5th again.

Each refresh updates 5 pieces of information, with values ranging from 1 star to 6 stars, from low to high.

After 10 refreshes, there will definitely be one piece of information valued at 4 stars or higher.

The information transmitted in his mind made Lear's heart overflow with surprise and joy.

Hope, there is hope!!

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Jem with a worried expression.

"Uncle Jem, thank you for your concern. I'm okay."

"I need to be alone for a while,"

Jem gave him a deep look.

"Lear, I have some connections in the Adventurer's Guild. If you ever need anything in this regard, just let me know..."

Saying this, he gently pressed the middle, index, and ring fingers of his right hand against his brow, then waved them towards the sky.

"May the Goddess watch over you."

Then softly closed the door and left the small, cramped house.

Lear watched Jem's back disappear and took a deep breath.

In this world, ordinary people can barely look after themselves, and it's so rare to find someone as loyal and helpful as Jem, who has done so much for Lear's former self.

Quickly adjusting, he immediately looked at the blue panel in his mind.

Following the instructions from the intelligence system, he silently recited the command to refresh the information.

In the next moment, new text appeared on the panel.

"Since this is the first time refreshing information, the information value has received an additional boost."

"There will definitely be at least one piece of information valued at 5 stars or higher."

Oh? An additional surprise?

With eager anticipation, Lear watched as the blue panel in his mind displayed five pieces of information.

[1]: Deen, the officer responsible for distributing Pioneer Knight supplies, after a night of consideration, plans to accept a 100 gold coin bribe from the Ror Clan. Tomorrow, he will secretly apply for special pioneer supplies to be given to the newly-appointed Pioneer Lord, Oak Ror. (Information value: 1 star)

[2]: Tomorrow morning, a group of ogres will attack Windmill Town, 120 kilometers north of Lorand City, with their numbers exceeding 100. (Information value: 1 star)

[3]: At the Ninth District Market, the thirteenth stall is selling Red Leaf Tree Seedlings, which are actually seedlings of the Magic Plant, Magma Fruit Tree. (Information value: 2 stars)

[4]: The eldest daughter of the Lorand Clan, Grand Mage Firina Lorand, who has reached level 16, is searching for the Magic Plant, Blue Crystal Grass, located in a lily-filled valley 200 kilometers northwest of Lorand City. (Information value: 2 stars)

[5]: Refreshing...

Altogether, there are 5 pieces of information, and one is still refreshing. Lear couldn't wait for the refreshing one and immediately started reading from the first piece.

The first piece is about Deen, the officer responsible for distributing Pioneer Knight supplies, accepting a bribe.

1 star, not highly valuable.

Accepting bribes is quite commonplace in this nobility-ruled extraordinary world, and the other party is still in the preparation stage.

Special pioneer supplies are prepared for those noble families with a glorious history, and the Els Clan is just a Baron Clan, which doesn't qualify, so this really holds no value for him.

The second piece is about the ogre attack on Windmill Town, north of Lorand City.

1-star value.

Ogres are powerful creatures at level 6, generally over three meters tall, and very fierce.

This piece of information has limited value... he's never even heard of Windmill Town.

The value of the third and fourth pieces rose to 2 stars, immediately increasing their worth.

The thirteenth stall at the Ninth District Black Market is selling Red Leaf Tree Seedlings, which are actually seedlings of the Magic Plant, Magma Fruit Tree.

Magic Plants are very rare in this world; Magma Fruit is a primary material for alchemy potions, capable of quickly restoring magic power if consumed alone, and is priced high in the market.

One of these can sell for 10 gold coins.

An ordinary person working hard all year, without spending, can only earn 5 or 6 gold coins!

Such magic items are unimaginable luxuries for ordinary people.

Now they're selling such Magic Plant seedlings as Red Leaf Tree seedlings?

Red Leaf Trees are common outside the city, growing to maturity in three years with loose wood, only notable for being insect-resistant; they're cheap, favored by the poor to build houses.

The price difference between the two is astronomical.

The potential profit is enormous.

He decided to go there immediately to buy those seedlings, no matter what.

Lear felt invigorated.

The fourth piece of information is also very intriguing—Firina Lorand, the eldest daughter of the Lorand Clan, is searching for the Blue Crystal Grass, 200 kilometers northwest of Lorand City.

Where is this? The largest city in the Northern Province of the Griffin Empire—Lorand City!

And the Lorand Clan is the ruler of this city, the sole sovereign.

This city exists because of the clan.

Firina Lorand, the clan's eldest daughter, who could she be? The Flower of the North, Princess of Lorand City, renowned magic prodigy of the empire!

She became a level 16 Grand Mage at the age of 24, with the power to destroy cities, hailed as the Griffin Empire's star of tomorrow!

One command from her can affect countless destinies!

The intrinsic value of the Magic Plant suggested by the intelligence may not be high, but once a top aristocrat seeks it, its value would inevitably skyrocket.

Lear pondered the potential value.

If utilized well, this piece of information might procure enough funding for exploration.

At that moment, the fifth piece of information quietly refreshed.

Unlike the others, this information was glowing gold.

Lear instinctively looked, and the 6-star symbol at the end made his heart stop abruptly.

The highest value for information is truly... 6 stars!

This piece of information is a golden 6-star!!

After reading through it carefully, he felt a rush of blood from his back to his head,

his eyes turned bloodshot.

His five fingers tightened around the document.

[5]: A tomb raider gang has unearthed a cloudy crystal from an ancient tomb in the Ninth District Black Market. It will be sold at the Black Market entrance, the twenty-third stall, at sunrise on the morning of July 8th. This item is a Broken Divine Format of the Swamp God. By dropping blood on the crystal, one can control this part of the Swamp Divine Format. (Information value: 6 stars (gold, full star))

Broken Divine Format of the Swamp God.

Lear saw this key information and felt dizzy.

Gods are the most powerful and terrifying entities in this world.

They are the world's rulers!

Now, such power is right before his eyes.

Within arm's reach!

A 6-star golden piece of information.

So terrifying, unimaginable...
