Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 569

Chapter 569: 569

Chapter 569 - SSS Rank

The Adventurer’s Association’s review of an NPC’s ability to become an Adventurer was a tedious one .

The first evaluation was of the NPC-in-question’s various Attributes, followed by a test for the NPC’s suitability of the various classes . Only after these two tests were complete could the Adventurer’s Association determine whether an NPC was suited to become an Adventurer or not .

In total, each NPC’s review lasted roughly two minutes .

Watching players happily enter the testing room with their chosen NPCs and leave in tears made many of the players in line grow anxious .

“Isn’t the success rate a little too low? Out of the twenty people I have seen enter the testing room, only one came out with a successful result . And even then, the strength of that person’s NPC was only mediocre . It really makes you wonder how Zero Wing managed to obtain such a powerful NPC,” a male Cleric with a pointed nose said, sighing .

“It is possible that Zero Wing recruited an NPC who was already an Adventurer, to begin with . My teammates had already come here to recommend their own NPCs . However, only three of the chosen NPCs became Adventurers, though they received low ratings . They don’t really have any significant potential,” a burly male Berserker complained . “Unfortunately, nobody on my team is even a Baron, so we can’t recruit any guards or see the NPCs’ exact data . We can only confirm their standards based on the evaluation . I heard that the best guard Overwhelming Smile has managed to recruit is only Mysterious-Iron rank . I wonder if the NPC I that spent more than half a day searching for will become an Adventurer? If it’s a success, I’ll make a fortune . ”

The players queuing up to have their chosen NPCs tested discussed Zero Wing’s guard, Kite . They all hoped that they could luck out and encounter an NPC like him as well . At that time, luxury cars and beautiful ladies would be within their grasp .

This was not an exaggeration .

The various large Guilds purchased powerful guards through the virtual trade center at astronomical prices .

Even Bronze guards sold for 100 Gold or so, whereas Mysterious-Iron guards sold for 500 Gold . As for Secret-Silver rank, the price would multiply by tenfold . If those Coins were converted to Credits, it was enough to allow an ordinary person to live the rest of their lives without working . However, even now, no one had offered any Mysterious-Iron guards for sale, much less Secret-Silver .

A moment later, a Ranger left the testing room with an excited expression . Loudly flaunting to his own party members, he said, “Hahaha! Let’s head to the Rose Bar! I’ll treat everyone to a cup of Icefire Wine!”

Rose Bar was one of White River City’s high-class bars . Meanwhile, the Icefire Wine was a must-try drink, and it was extremely popular among players . However, the drink was not cheap, with each cup costing 10 Silver . Even elite players only occasionally ordered a cup to sate their addiction . If they drank a cup every day, they would become a pauper very quickly .

“Sure, but what was your test result?” one of the Ranger’s teammates asked curiously .

“My NPC can become an Adventurer . Moreover, he even obtained a B-rank rating for the Shield Warrior’s evaluation! They say he’ll become a powerful Shield Warrior in the future!” the Ranger boasted .

“Lucky! This is by far the highest rating I’ve heard of! Our party’s success will rely on you in the future!” an Elementalist said excitedly .

The watching crowd looked at the Ranger enviously when they heard about his NPC’s B-rank .

They could not help but wish they could snatch the Ranger’s chosen NPC for themselves .

Unfortunately, the Main God System had long since set it so that the NPCs that had been recommended by a player would receive protection . Within ten days, no other player could increase their Favorability with the NPC in question . Hence, it was not possible to steal an NPC from another player .

A period of ten days was enough to allow a player to deepen their relationship with an NPC significantly . If one worked hard, they could even accumulate sufficient Reputation and become a Baron .

Normally, in order for an NPC to become an Adventurer, they needed to receive a D-rank rating or higher on a particular class .

“B-rank rating?” Shi Feng could not help his surprise .

In truth, the evaluation given by the Adventurer’s Association’s test could not completely determine an NPC’s potential . It was only a rough estimation .

It was just like how one would receive a “Pass” on a test, but in reality, the passing mark for the test ranged between 60 and 100 marks . The same principle applied to the Adventurer’s Association’s test .

The test was very general, so the final results would not always be accurate . It could only determine the upper limit of an NPC’s potential, not their actual potential .

Normally, NPCs that received a D-rank would end up a Common guard with limited Growth Potential . These NPCs were not worth the time it took to nurture them as Personal Guards . Only D-rank NPCs who were specialized in certain Attributes could become Bronze guards . However, the chances of finding those NPCs were very low .

In other words, a D-rank NPC’s potential ranged between Common and Bronze rank . However, only after these NPCs became guards would one know their exact Growth Potential .

Meanwhile, C-rank NPCs could become Mysterious-Iron guards .

As for B-rank NPCs, they had a strong chance of becoming Bronze guards and a certain probability to become Mysterious-Iron guards . There was also a relatively good chance for B-rank NPCs to become Secret-Silver guards . Unless one had somehow offended the Main God System in their previous lives, there was almost no chance for a B-rank NPC to end up a Common guard .

Of course, A-rank stood above B-rank .

Extremely few NPCs would receive this rating . Even in his previous life, Shi Feng had never personally encountered an NPC who had received an A-rank .

An NPC with an A-rank was a dragon or phoenix among men .

As for an A-rank NPC’s potential range, it was between Bronze and Fine-Gold rank .

In the past, out of all the NPCs he had recommended, the highest rating he had obtained was B-rank . After recruiting said NPC as his guard, he, fortunately, had ended up with a Secret-Silver guard .

This time, however, Shi Feng already knew Anna’s Base Attributes . Based on his guards’ Attributes in his previous life, Shi Feng was sure that Anna would receive a very high rating .

“Lord Viscount, I apologize for the long wait . Please, follow me,” the test officer said respectfully after glancing at Shi Feng .

A Viscount was already a Grand Noble in White River City . They were far more powerful than ordinary nobles . Not only could they recruit 50 ordinary guards, but they also had two slots for Personal Guards .

Shi Feng nodded and followed the test officer into the testing room .

“Lord Viscount, based on the Adventurer’s Association’s rules, each test will cost you 10 Silver . As my lord is a Viscount of White River City, you can enjoy a 20% discount, so my lord only needs to pay 8 Silver per test,” the test officer explained uneasily as he arrived before the test apparatus .

“Here . ” Shi Feng readily handed over 8 Silver Coins, inwardly cursing the Adventurer’s Association .

Magic Crystals powered the test apparatus . How much was a Magic Crystal worth on the market? Moreover, each Magic Crystal could be used dozens of times . Yet, the Adventurer’s Association charged 10 Silver for every test .

In other words, the Adventurer’s Association earned a profit of dozens of times the actual cost . It was far more profitable than any other industry .

However, it was due to the fact players were required to spend money on many aspects of the game that allowed the Coins of God’s Domain to remain extremely rare and valuable .

Following which, Anna walked up to the test apparatus and began her potential evaluation .

Time seemed to crawl by . However, even after two full minutes had passed, the test apparatus had yet to produce a conclusion . On the contrary, due to the test apparatus consuming too much power, the test officer had no choice but to replace the Magic Crystal powering it .

One crystal… Two crystals…

In the end, Anna’s test used a total of five Magic Crystals . At this moment, the test officer had also turned pale .

Meanwhile, the result displayed showed that Anna was suited to become a Summoner, and her rating for the class was SSS-rank!
