The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1265

(Unedited)

…

What is a talisman? A talisman is an object with symbols embedded in it that can command the Ki in the surroundings. These strange symbols are called runes, and these runes are a hidden system of the universe with its own language and own system of power.

They are as mysterious and as hard to learn.

One wrong stroke and one wrong line can render a rune unusable.

That is why only those that are knowledgeable enough can use runes and those be able to make a talisman.

And right now, in Xin Ja's hand is a half talisman. This is because the name of that person, Levin Gregory is written using a perfect rune. When he wrote the words 'Good Luck', it literally means that the talisman could bring him good luck.

But that is now all… two of the letters in his name also formed a combined rune which causes calmness and tranquility. That is if one knows how to fold the paper correctly and connects those two lines.

And so when these people approached Xin Ja he immediately showed a crafty smile on his face.

In fact, he could easily create this simple talisman pattern. But since this guy seems famous, he could actually make some money using that guy's name.

So he looks at those people who suddenly surrounded him and then cleared his throat.

"Ahem… Guys! Can you wait for me for a bit… Since you are all gathered here, I would like to show you some of the things that… I personally have gotten from the… senior." Xin Ja lied through his teeth knowing that the guy is already gone.

Everyone looks at him with doubtful eyes.

"I might want to sell this to you, but I can't since this is the union building. Why not we meet outside after I pick some jobs?" Xin Ja then waves his hand and then folded the paper correctly.

After doing so, the eyes of everyone turned a bit hostile as they thought he is wasting such a precious thing.

But when he connected the line, the paper suddenly glowed.

Everyone immediately gawped in astonishment.

"This… how… how did that happen?" someone asked.

Xin Ja just showed a mysterious smile.

As he puts the paper in his inner pocket, his figure suddenly glowed for a bit which attracted everyone's attention.

"I must have that signed paper from my idol Levin… I did not know that the thing could do that… All I know is that all of his signed papers cause good luck…" someone from the crowd said while showing determination in his eyes.

Xin Ja did not mind the people looking at him and just quickly picked out a job on the board.

He then quickly walked inside the restroom and enters a cubicle.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to take out some papers and then began to copy the handwriting of that guy. He then added some words like, 'Rock On!' or 'Get healthy'. Those words correspond to the command for the talisman to be used just once.

But the folding trick he maintained.

After creating around ten, he walked out of the restroom and was immediately swarmed by people.

It did not take long before he sold all of them for around 10,000 to 20,000 each. And right now, he has roughly around 150k Sumar.

This made Xin Ja grin evilly as he walked out of the union building.

While walking on the side road, Xin Ja felt that a few figures are following him from behind.

With a mocking smile on his face, he suddenly turned a corner and disappeared.

The few figures following him were shocked to see that their target vanished into thin air.

"Damn it! That guy was loaded… We could have gotten some cash…" one of them cursed as he kicked a trash can on the side while flying deeper into the dark alley producing a loud banging sound.

As the guy turns around, a trash can suddenly came flying at him and directly landed upside down on his head and spilled the contents of the trash can on his body.

The guy growled in anger as he struggled to remove the trash can over his body.

His companions helped him, but then all took a step back as the rancid smell assaulted their noses.

"Shit! What an unlucky day! If I get my hands on that brat, I'm gonna strangle him to death!" the man shouted in rage.

As he took a step forward, his foot suddenly slipped and his whole body landed on something soft.

The rotting food quickly wafted in the air which made everyone run away from the guy and began throwing up.

The man's face was all red as he wanted to go wild and cry at this unlucky day he is having.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja, who caused all of this to happen, is standing calmly at the side of the wall while looking at the man with a sneer on his face.

"You wanted to steal something from me? Hehehe… Dream on." he thought as he looks at the people walking away.

He then looks at the paper he took from the bulletin and then walked in the direction that is said in that paper as the rendezvous point.

On the way, he bought a large backpack, some supplies, and a sharp weapon, as advised by Janet. He then proceeds to go to the rendezvous point which is a small dilapidated apartment where many awakened are gathering.

He looks at the name of the group and then looks around to try and find the logo on the commissioned letter.

After not finding the group, he approached a person and then asked.

"Excuse me, Sir… Umm… Berserker Mercenary group, do you know them?" Xin Ja asked the middle-aged-looking man.

The man looks at Xin Ja with a serious expression, then turn his sight in a direction. He then tilted his head up gesturing in that direction.

"Oh, thank you…" Xin Ja politely said.

Xin Ja has a clear goal in his mind. He needs to experiment on how he can obtain the same sensation while killing those demons.

Is it by direct contact, or just being near the place? He is not sure which one would be more effective.

But one thing is for sure, he knew that if his conjecture is correct, then in this world his growth will become rapid. He would be able to grow faster and then reach the strength he needed to face the future ahead of him.

While walking in the direction pointed by the guy… Xin Ja's hand gripped the strap of the backpack and a glint of determination appears in his eyes.

Soon, he saw a group of 7 people.

Out of the 7, there are 4 who seem to be armed to the teeth, while the others are carrying large packs just like him… and 2 of them seem to be carrying some equipment for butchering.

"Hi, is this the Berserker Mercenary group?" Xin Ja asked as he approached the group.

The people stopped to look at Xin Ja and then one of them approaches him.

"Are you the one who has taken this job from the union? I thought that no one would be accepting this job again…" the young man said with a smile.

"I am James Reeve, and that pretty woman over there is the leader of our team." He introduced.

"I am Xin… I mean Adam Summers… Nice meeting you all!" Xin Ja greeted with an enthusiastic smile.

The people around him look serious and just nodded their heads.

James Reeve patted Xin Ja's shoulder and lead him to the group of people.

"You, my man, are going to be one of our porters… But you will not be carrying that backpack of yours. Instead, you will use this." James Reeve handed Xin Ja a bigger pack.

"As you can see, most of our porters are normal people. They are not awakened like yourself… so I hope that you can understand the heaviness of the task before you…" James said showing a face that wanted Xin Ja to feel a pang of guilt.

"Alright, I know… leave everything to me…" Xin Ja seemed to have not shown any fear but instead enthusiasm in his smiles.

"That's my good man…" James Reeve patted Xin Ja's shoulder as he went back to the main group.

Xin Ja smiled at the people around him and even greeted them which made the people feel relaxed around him.

These people are ordinary people, so they knew that they are being looked down on by awakened people.

But seeing the kind disposition of Xin Ja the other porters and collectors showed amiable expressions towards him.

Soon, the signal for the gate opening was heard by the group and everyone in that dilapidated apartment building quickly stood up.

They all walked towards a metal gate which slowly opened.

After the metal gate opened, the group saw a large number of soldiers walking to and fro in that place. There are also many other awakened who look at their group.

As their group enters that area, the others that were waiting inside, walk out.

"Hey… good luck out there!" someone from the group shouted while waving his hand in the air.

Xin Ja subconsciously waves his hand but felt awkward as the atmosphere seems wrong. It seems that the people suddenly became depressed.

"What is happening?" he thought.
