Chapter 203: Contest for the First Awakening Qualification
With the aid of the spatial leap, Jeremy found himself back near the entrance of The Misty Garden instance.
Once he verified that he had reached a place of safety, Jeremy finally let out a sigh of relief.
Although the speed of his cognitive processes had yet to return to its normal pace, at the very least, he no longer had to worry about the threat posed by The Misty Garden instance boss.
After taking a moment to compose himself, Jeremy’s condition finally began to improve.
“It seems that my prior preparations were not quite sufficient. Before my next move, I must ensure that I undertake more thorough preparations!”
Having uttered these words, Jeremy proceeded to remove all the items he had previously placed around the entrance of The Misty Garden instance.
He had no desire for his whereabouts to be discovered by others due to the presence of those items.
Jeremy felt that he could not even confide in Howard about this matter until he secured the qualification for awakening.
Although he had come to trust that Howard was indeed on his side during their previous endeavors.
However, the relationship between Howard and Kean was not overly dire.
Although Howard held Jeremy in high regard, if Kean, backed by the Lannisters, offered irresistibly tempting benefits to win Howard over, it was highly probable that Howard would betray Jeremy.
Jeremy also did not intend to inform his few friends about his actions.
In his view, both Bonnie and Ritchie were incapable of providing him with any substantial assistance.
Upon learning of this news, Claire and Emma would undoubtedly fall into a state of panic.
Thus, he concluded that keeping the secret was the best choice for everyone involved.
After observing his surroundings for a while longer and confirming that there was no one else present, Jeremy swiftly made his way back to his residence.
At the same moment that Jeremy entered The Misty Garden instance, Kean was busy selecting the weapons and equipment he intended to take back from the Lannisters’ warehouse.
Not far from Kean stood two individuals: the butler Farmer and the warehouse manager, Shawn .
“Young Master, have you finished your selection? You have already looked through all the equipment in the warehouse. Is there truly nothing here that meets your approval?”
Shawn inquired with a hint of exasperation.
Without even glancing back, Kean replied, “Why are you in such a hurry? During previous missions, I suffered numerous setbacks due to equipment issues. This time, I refuse to endure any further losses.
Therefore, I expect to select the most suitable weapons for myself. Moreover, these weapons all belong to the Lannisters, and as one of the senior members of the Lannisters, I certainly have the right to take my time in making my choices.”
Upon hearing these words, Shawn could only manage a smile, albeit one tinged with frustration.
“You are absolutely correct, you certainly have the right to take your time here. However, I have other matters that require my attention. After all, the Lannisters have numerous other pressing issues to address.”
“Then by all means, feel free to leave! I can take my time selecting on my own.”
Kean had long wished for Shawn to depart swiftly.
The relationship between Kean and Shawn was far from amicable, while Shawn ‘s status was not particularly elevated, he could still be considered, in a certain sense, a member of the Lannisters.
Despite his deep-seated disdain for Shawn, Kean could not simply order him to leave without consequence.
At that moment, the butler Farmer, wearing a sycophantic smile, addressed Shawn , saying, “Since the Young Master has expressed this wish, you may temporarily attend to your other important matters.
I will remain here to accompany the Young Master as he continues to select the weapons he requires. Should any issues arise, I will notify you at the earliest opportunity.”

Shawn glanced at Kean, then at the butler Farmer.
“Very well, you may take your time selecting the weapons. Once you have made your choices, please ensure you register the taken weapons on the computer over there.”
With that said, Shawn turned on his heel and exited the warehouse.
However, before leaving the warehouse, Shawn made a point to cast a lingering glance at the butler Farmer.
Although the relationship between Kean and Shawn was rather strained, the bond between the butler Farmer and Shawn was relatively amicable.
The two had previously collaborated on several occasions.
As a result, Shawn placed greater trust in the butler Farmer.
Moreover, it is significant to note that Shawn possessed a certain understanding of the butler Farmer’s true responsibilities.
He was aware that the butler Farmer served not only Kean but also had the more crucial task of keeping a watchful eye on Kean to prevent him from causing trouble.
After Shawn had departed, Kean turned around and addressed the butler Farmer directly.
“I have already selected the equipment, you can take all these supplies and weapons back.”
Upon hearing this, the butler Farmer looked slightly perplexed and inquired of Kean,
“Young Master, if I am to carry these weapons back, then where do you intend to go?”
“Of course, I will return with you. Are you suggesting that I should carry these weapons myself?”
Kean coldly remarked as he approached the butler Farmer.
At this moment, the butler Farmer quickly lowered his head and replied in a sycophantic tone. “I would never dream of having you personally carry these weapons, Young Master. I merely wished to remind you to take care of yourself and rest adequately.”
Kean chuckled softly.
“I appreciate your kind intentions, and if there are no other matters at hand, let us return swiftly.”
The butler Farmer hastily gathered the weapons that Kean had selected and quickly accompanied him back to the villa.
The weapons and equipment that Kean had chosen were all related to the concept of the “Sun.”
Furthermore, the reason Kean had taken so long to select them was not merely to create trouble for Shawn.
A more significant reason was that he needed to invest a certain amount of time to discern whether the aura emanating from the gear and weapons genuinely connected to the “Sun.”
His decision to depart quickly was not because he had found suitable weapons, rather, it was prompted by the voice of The Person in the Mirror emanating from the mirror he carried.
The Person in the Mirror had something of great importance to communicate to Kean.
Upon returning to the villa, Kean addressed the butler Farmer directly.
“Please place all of these weapons and equipment in the storage room of the villa. I will require them for future endeavors. I am feeling a bit fatigued, so I shall retire early. You should also take some time to rest.”
With that, Kean promptly shut the door to his bedroom.
Although the butler Farmer felt slightly perplexed, in the end, he had no choice but to store all the weapons and equipment in the storage room as instructed.
After confirming that the butler Farmer had departed, Kean finally removed the black cloth that had been draped over his enormous floor mirror.
At the moment the cloth was lifted, the reflection of a young man materialized within the mirror.
“Why is it that every time I meet with The Person in the Mirror, their appearance is entirely different? Do you not fear that I may be unable to continue our collaboration due to your ever-changing visage?”
Kean felt a slight dissatisfaction with the actions of The Person in the Mirror.
He believed that their constant alterations in appearance were clearly a form of caution directed towards him.
Upon hearing Kean’s remarks, the young man within the mirror responded with a smile.
“This is a characteristic of us, The Person in the Mirror. If you wish to see the previous appearance of The Person in the Mirror during our next conversation, we can certainly accommodate that. However, it is not of paramount importance.
There is another matter of great urgency that we must convey to you immediately. Furthermore, you must act swiftly in response to it.”
Upon hearing these words, Kean responded nonchalantly.
“Every time you appear, it brings me a significant headache. This occasion should be no exception, so please, go ahead and inform me of this urgent matter.”
“We have received very accurate intelligence that Jeremy has reached level 50, and he has already come into contact with the awakening gemstone. This means he will soon have the opportunity to undergo the third class change, or in other words, to awaken.”
Upon hearing this revelation, Kean’s expression grew slightly grave.
However, after contemplating for a moment, his demeanor gradually relaxed.
“I was expecting something truly critical. His level is already quite high, it is entirely normal for someone to reach level 50 and have the chance for a third class change.
Moreover, I do not intend to be his adversary anytime soon, so even if he completes his third class change, it does not pose a significant threat to me.”
After Kean finished speaking, The Person in the Mirror hastily interjected.
“The third class change is merely a ruse to deceive you Earthlings. The true name for the third class change is awakening, and the first person to awaken can select one from five exceptionally rare talents.
The disparity between rare talents and ordinary talents is immense.
If Jeremy truly is the first to achieve awakening, he will undoubtedly select a highly rare talent. If you cannot stop him, you will no longer have the capability to contend against him.”
After hearing this, Kean’s expression swiftly shifted from relaxed to serious.
“I must stop him! What must I do to prevent him from succeeding?”
“You need only to become the first person to achieve awakening. There are two necessary conditions for completing the awakening: the first condition is to reach level 50, and the second is to possess an awakening gemstone.
You are very close to level 50, so what you need to do now is to obtain the awakening gemstone as quickly as possible.”
With the guidance of The Person in the Mirror, Kean immediately understood what he needed to do next.
In fact, Kean felt a sense of urgency, he must compete with Jeremy for the qualification to be the first to awaken.
