<h4>Chapter 170 Chapter 169-Sno''s Request (3rd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)</h4>


    Seeming to sense something was off, Emma cautiously asked, "Johnny, is there something wrong?"


    John chuckled bitterly, "Silly girl, don''t tell me you''ve shared with your teammates that you have the ultra-rare staff, Woodmist Warchant?"


    Emma instantly understood why John had gone silent.


    She responded with a sweet smile, her voice as pleasant as a silver bell, "Don''t worry, Johnny, I''m not that silly. That gear was a gift from you, the most precious gift I''ve ever received. How could I share it with others?"


    Only then did John rx, it seems he had been overthinking.


    While Emma may be naive, she is far from being foolish. She surely understands the preciousness of the "Woodmist Warchant".


    "Alright, work hard... I have to make a trip to Cloud Sea. Stay safe and contact me immediately if anything happens."


    Emma obediently hummed in response.


    Just as John was about to end themunication, White Feather''s voice suddenly came through, "Emma, are you on the line with Galewind?"


    Perhaps after receiving an affirmative response from Emma, White Feather came over, "Galewind, can you hear me?"


    John responded indifferently, "I can hear you..."


    White Feather asked expectantly, "Galewind, do you still need Silver Tear? We''ve recently produced arge batch..."


    John chuckled, so that''s what it was.


    "Great, we''ll keep the previous price, and I''ll take all of it. Leave it with Emma for now and I''ll settle up when we meet."


    "Alright, thank you, Galewind..."


    White Feather''s voice suddenly became lively, as if he was very pleased.


    After ending themunication, John arrived at the Silverglow teleportation point.


    From here, he would teleport to Cloud Sea.


    After paying the teleportation fee, a sh of light passed by, and John''s figure disappeared in the light of the teleportation point.


    When he reappeared, he was thousands of miles away in Cloud Sea.


    Stepping out of the teleportation hall, he looked up and finally understood why this city was named Cloud Sea.


    Above his head,yers of clouds churned, looking like an ocean of fog.


    And the clouds here were extremely low, as if they were within reach.


    John leisurely strolled through Cloud Sea.


    It must be said that theyout of these secondary cities wasrgely the same.


    The city lord''s mansion was located in the very center of the city, next to the main camp of the city guards.


    Apart from that, the Mercenary Hall, Guild Management Hall, Equipment Forging and Appraisal Hall...


    Theyout of these important buildings was basically consistent with Silverglow.


    John opened the system map and looked closely, suddenly discovering something intriguing.


    On the system map, almost all the second-tier cities currently open to yers were located in the Nortnds.


    They bordered the Demon territories.


    This was not just for human yers, but other races as well.


    John stroked his chin thoughtfully.


    Clearly, this was intentionally done by the system, the aim being to better train yers and allow them to grow faster throughbat.


    Because the Nortnds bordered the Demon territories, if a war broke out between the two factions, this would be the frontline.


    For centuries, the Nortnds have always been rife with conflicts, with various monsters running rampant.


    It was clearly a natural proving ground.


    John shook his head, collecting his scattered thoughts, and located Bone Cave on the system map.


    After thinking for a while, he first went to the trading hall to buy some consumable items.


    These included the Teleport Scroll, which was added after the system update.


    [Teleport Scroll (Consumable Item): After use, it allows the yer to quickly return to the nearest town...]


    [Value: 500 gold coins]


    This item was quite useful, saving yers a lot of travel time.


    After all, when you''re in the middle of nowhere, you can''t exactly find a teleportation point...


    Unfortunately, the conditions for using a Teleport Scroll areplex.


    It requires the user to be out ofbat. In battle, a Teleport Scroll cannot be used.


    Otherwise, I imagine many yers would treat this item as a lifesaver, using it to return to town whenever they encounter an unbeatable monster.


    Moreover, it can''t be used in various secret realms.


    It must be used after leaving the secret realm. John looked at the dozens of Teleport Scrolls in his backpack and sighed softly.


    It''s a good item, but its limitations are too significant.


    Given its price of 500 gold coins each, it''s likely unaffordable for many solo yers.


    Just as John was about to leave Cloud Sea, hismunicator rang again.


    Opening the channel, an unexpected message popped up.


    Sno: Galewind, big brother, do you have time to help your little sister today?


    John raised an eyebrow, the image of Sno appearing in his mind.


    What was this littless messaging him for out of the blue?


    Although he had questions, John still replied: I''m about to do a quest.


    What do you need help with?


    Sno: (crying) Galewind, big brother, you''re always so busy. You must''ve forgotten about your old love since you found a new one. So cruel!!


    John was at a loss for words: Just get to the point... Aren''t you the guild leader of ck Rose Guild, one of the top ten guilds in the world? When will you ever grow up...


    Sno: It all depends on who I''m with. Why would I act the same when I''m with you, Galewind big brother?


    John: Just spit it out. What kind of problem can''t your guild handle that you''re requesting outside help?


    Sno: Hehe, I can''t use the guild''s power for this. You know, managing such arge guild is exhausting for a girl like me. What if there''s a bad guy in the guild who stabs me in the back when I''m trying to get things done?


    John furrowed his brow.


    He had always known that Sno didn''t haveplete control over the ck Rose Guild.


    Although the guild wasposed entirely of women, there were numerous factions and plenty of backroom scheming.


    From what John knew, the two vice-guild leaders of the ck Rose Guild were often at odds with Sno, especially when it came to decision-making.


    This problem wasn''t unique to the ck Rose Guild, other top-tier guilds had simr issues.


    These guilds were usually backed by several conglomerates, so there were bound to be disputes over the division of interests.


    But the problem was particrly serious in the ck Rose Guild.


    Thinking of this, John''s expression softened a bit, and he replied: Tell me how I can help first. Once I finish my tasks here, I''lle to help you.


    Sno: Galewind big brother should know, my basic ss is Priest, and I was lucky enough to change jobs to the special ss "Holy Song Priest"...


    John wasn''t surprised at all that Sno had a special ss.


    As a top yer, it was only natural that she had reached the peak of the gaming world.


    "Holy Song Priest" sounded like a ss exclusive to the Holy Light Church.


    It should be pretty good.


    John continued reading.


    Sno: During the "Holy Song Priest" job change process, I identally found out that this special ss has a higher ss, the hidden ss "Divine Priest", which is also the only hidden ss. And I was lucky enough to get this hidden ss job change quest...


    John smiled faintly. No wonder Sno had suddenly contacted him for help.


    Godyer has roughly three types of sses.


    After entering the game, yers usually only choose a basic ss, such as Priest, Berserker, Pdin, Archer, and so on.


    Next, there are a small number of special sses.


    Typically, yers need to show exceptional performance within the church they chose for their base ss, earning the approval of the church''s deity.


    Emma''s previous "Pyromancer" and Blue Sea''s "Sea Mage" are examples of this type.


    Beyond these, there are the exceedingly rare hidden sses.


    These sses can''t be changed through the church; they requirepletion of specific questlines for ss transition.


    Moreover, the quests for hidden sses are incredibly tough.


    The enemies yers face are often formidable, and a small mistake could lead to danger.


    For instance, if John hadn''t been there when Emma was transitioning to the "Fire Dragon Mage", she likely wouldn''t even have reached Twin Volcano...


    After all, hidden sses are unique and powerful, and their scarcity makes them precious.


    If everyone could acquire them, they wouldn''t be so highly prized.


    John pondered for a moment and then replied: Since it''s a Holy Light series hidden ss, why don''t you contact Adam?


    He also belongs to the Holy Light series and as far as I recall, you two are close in the real world.


    Sno: Humph! Adam is too weak. He can''t help me at all.


    John: Oh? Is the quest for your hidden ss that difficult?


    Sno: Yes, it is. I need to go to a dangerous ce and find the scepter left there by the previous "Divine Priest". That scepter is the unique identification of the "Divine Priest".


    As soon as I mentioned the location to Adam, he immediately suggested I ask for your help.


    He said that only you can help me... Humph, weak, smelly man!


    John: ... Just tell me where you need to go.


    Sno: Bone Cave.


    John stopped in his tracks immediately. It''s the same destination he was heading to?!
