Reborn with Infinite System Points, I Can Directly Change Item's Value-Chapter 48 --Pass Permit, Pillage Order

[Hidden Quest "Defend Snelow City" completed!]

[Congratulations, player. Rewards obtained: EXP +1,000,000, gold coins +10,000, Fame +70,000!]

[Congratulations, player. Special item "Pass Permit" x1 obtained!]

...

A string of reward notifications rang out one after another.

John was secretly delighted.

Among them, the thing that pleased him most was undoubtedly the special item, the Pass Permit.

He flipped his hand, and a token appeared in his palm.

[Pass Permit]

[Quality]: SSS-rank

[Effect]: After activating the Pass Permit, you may enter any one of the Empire’s 899 cities at any time. Unlimited uses.

...

After reading its effect, delight flashed across John’s eyes.

The Pass Permit’s effect was ridiculously overpowered.

It could actually be activated anytime, anywhere—and it did not even cost any gold coins.

This was practically a portable, free teleportation array.

With an effect like this, it truly deserved its SSS-rank quality.

If it were sold on the open market, it would probably fetch an astronomical price at auction.

But John naturally had no intention of auctioning off such a divine item.

Something like this was obviously best kept for his own use.

"Hm? It can still be modified?"

John noticed the blue-highlighted number in the description and his heart stirred.

That number represented the number of cities it could teleport to.

The more it was increased, the more cities it could connect to.

He immediately used system points and began modifying it like mad.

900, 910, ... 999!

He kept altering it until it reached the maximum limit of 999.

The modified Pass Permit now emitted a faint golden glow.

Its quality seemed to have risen by yet another notch.

At that moment, a notification sounded in his ear.

[The city access limit of the special item "Pass Permit" has been modified to its maximum. Its effect has changed.]

John froze for a moment, then immediately looked back at the Pass Permit’s description.

[Pass Permit]

[Quality]: SSS-rank

[Effect 1]: After activating the Pass Permit, you may enter any one of the Empire’s 899 cities at any time. Unlimited uses.

[Effect 2]: You may use the Pass Permit to bind any 100 cities from other regions. After activation, you may enter any one of the bound cities in other regions. Unlimited uses.

...

Seeing the newly added second effect, John was overjoyed.

This thing was unbelievably useful.

After being modified to the maximum, it could actually let him travel to cities in other regions.

On second thought, that made sense.

After all, the Eaglecrest Empire only had 899 cities in total.

John had added another 100 after modifying it.

The Eaglecrest Empire obviously could not suddenly produce 100 more cities out of thin air.

So the item’s effect had directly broken past that limit, allowing it to bind cities from other regions.

A faint smile curled at the corner of John’s lips.

In other words, as long as he bound cities in other regions now, he could head there to fight whenever he wanted.

Just like that Lord-class player from Zone 4 who had previously broken through the zone boundary and entered Zone 5.

Except John’s Pass Permit was even more outrageous—it could bind a full one hundred cities.

Even if he split them across four major regions, he could still bind twenty-five cities in each one.

The freedom this gave him was far beyond that Lord-class player’s.

After putting away the Pass Permit,

John took out the Pillage Order he had plundered from the Mercenary Commander earlier.

He opened its detailed info panel.

[Pillage Order]

[Quality]: S-rank

[Effect]: After activating the Pillage Order, you may command the warband under your authority to begin plundering other cities. During the plunder, players’ equipment in other cities as well as the resources within those cities may all be looted. All plundered goods will be stored in the guild treasury for distribution by the user.

...

Whoa.

After seeing its effect clearly, John’s expression turned strange.

If this were used together with the Pass Permit from earlier—

Wouldn’t this basically be a tool specifically meant to let his warband launch raids on cities in other regions?

For example, he could first use the Pass Permit to reach a city in another region.

Then he could activate the Pillage Order, allowing his own warband to arrive there as well.

In that case, it would become a cross-zone joint operation.

"Not bad. Another fine item."

John nodded in satisfaction and put it away.

The remaining gains were the massive amount of Fame and money he had plundered from the mercenary army.

By a rough count,

John’s harvest this time had already exceeded a million gold coins, while his Fame had reached 500,000.

It was a bumper harvest through and through.

It could only be said that these mercenaries truly had looted quite a fortune over the years. Even the most ordinary mercenary could yield a hundred gold coins when plundered.

Lastly came the EXP gains.

At present, his EXP pool had already reached its cap, with a full 20,000,000 EXP piled up inside it.

Once he successfully completed his class advancement, he would probably shoot up several levels in one explosive leap. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"I’ve finished everything I came here to do. The Tree Mother’s bark can also be used as material for crafting the Anti-Magic Seal."

John gazed into the distance beyond Snelow City.

He was not in any hurry to use the Pass Permit and return to Eaglecrest City just yet.

Because before that, there was still one more thing he needed to do.

...

Ruvan Kingdom.

Krell Main City.

As a main city bordering the Eaglecrest Empire,

Krell City had always been heavily garrisoned.

Recently, due to the constant friction between the two nations,

the number of troops stationed here had increased even further.

The city was on alert almost day and night, afraid that the Eaglecrest Empire might suddenly send forces to attack.

It was deep into the night, yet many guards were still patrolling along the walls.

Just then, a guard on the watchtower spotted several points of fire appearing in the distant sky, rapidly drawing closer.

He immediately became alarmed and quickly sent word to the Defense Officer.

By the time the Defense Officer arrived atop the walls, the few figures carrying torches from afar had already drawn much nearer.

When he saw their faces clearly, he relaxed at once.

"So it’s you!"

The arrivals were none other than the Mercenary Commander and several of his subordinates.

The Defense Officer knew very well that these mercenaries had been hired by their city lord to attack Snelow City of the Eaglecrest Empire.

What puzzled him was why they had returned so quickly, and at such an hour.

A trace of suspicion appeared on the Defense Officer’s face.

At that moment,

the Mercenary Commander shouted from below, "Open the gate, now! Don’t tell me you’re planning to keep even me outside?"

The Defense Officer quickly asked, "Weren’t you supposed to be attacking Snelow City? Why are you back so soon?"

The Mercenary Commander replied impatiently, "If I’m back now, that naturally means the job’s done.

Stop wasting time and open the gate already. I need to see your city lord!"

Not daring to delay, the Defense Officer immediately ordered the city gates opened and let the few mercenaries in.

If they had truly captured Snelow City, then they would become honored guests of their city lord.

Offending them here would only bring trouble later.

The Defense Officer personally led the reception party to greet the Mercenary Commander and his men.

He bowed and said, "This way, my lords. I shall escort you to the City Lord’s Mansion to meet the lord."

The Mercenary Commander waved his hand impatiently. "Enough with the nonsense. Just lead the way!"

"Yes, sir!"

Before long, the group arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.

The Mercenary Commander swaggered inside with several of his men.

The Lord of Krell was seated in the main hall, waiting for them.
