Chapter 65: One-hit Kill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

But from where Jiang Feng was standing, he knew that there was more than simply the Xuanyuan Sword Fragment that drew him here.

That was why he consumed the Divine Speech Pill, to allow him to ask him what he wanted to know.

After he ate the Divine Speech Pill, Jiang Feng climbed on top of Yanhu's head and asked Qiu Si, "How did you know that I have a Xuanyuan Sword Fragment on me?"

Qiu Si smiled then sat down on the green grassland. He snapped a grass and put it in his mouth as he looked to the blue sky. He then said, "I have the Heart of the Xuanyuan Sword. I can sense the Xuanyuan Sword fragments' existence within five kilometers. I was in the vicinity for a quest, and I sensed the Xuanyuan Sword Fragment's aura on you. I never thought that I would find the Shifters' Successor."

"Then how are you so sure that I am the Shifters' Successor?" Jiang Feng asked as he lay on Yanhu's head as it crouched beside him.

Qiu Si glanced at Jiang Feng and explained, "When I was approaching you, you should have felt a sense of danger creeping up on you. I had interacted with the Infernals' Successor once, and I had such a feeling too. My guess is that this feeling will appear only when a Successor is nearby. Not to mention that you, a monster, is leading three other monsters to kill other monsters. Can other monsters even do that?"

"It is certainly obvious," Jiang Feng said with a smile, "Can you tell me who is the Successor of the Infernals? Have you fought with him?"

"I know that she's a woman, but her name has been hidden by a piece of equipment. I can't check on it," Qiu Si continued. "Originally I wanted to have a good fight with her, but unfortunately I was OHKO with just one skill from her."

"One-hit Killed?!"

Jiang Feng was surprised.

The Divines, the Infernals, and the Shifters. Each of their successors should have been chosen with extreme care. Not to mention the bonus item that they had, and their own strength, instant killing them shouldn't even be possible.

But he gave it some thought, and realized what might have happened, and said, "Looks like you chose a Divine Artifact, while the Successor of the Infernals chose a skill. If not, she could not kill you in one hit."

Qiu Si gave him a smile and said, "That's right, but there's something that you missed. In fact, she also had a Divine Artifact. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to OHKO me."

"Divine, Divine Artifact?! How is that possible?" Jiang Feng asked with surprise.

It shouldn't be possible for the Infernals' Successor to choose two. If true, that wouldn't be reasonable at all and it wouldn't be fair for the other successors.

"I don't know the reason too, but I can confirm that she has indeed a divine artifact with her," Qiu Si said as he looked at Jiang Feng. "And that was the reason I came looking for you."

"You wanted to form an alliance against the Infernals' Successor?"

"That's right, but not forming an alliance. I hope that you will become my pet!" Qiu Si answered nonchalantly.

"To become your pet? Do you think that's possible?" Jiang Feng answered with a chilly smile.

He had to carry the burden to see the restoration of the Shifters, it wouldn't be possible for him to be Qiu Si's pet. Even if he had no such burden, he would not become anyone's pet. He was he. None could replace him. None could command him!

Qiu Si removed the grass from his mouth, and looked at Jiang Feng, "You had to know that ten thousand years ago the Shifters were the pets and underlings of the Divines. It was the only way for us to have stopped the Infernals. If the Divines and the Shifters do not combine forces, we could never face the Infernals. That was because the Infernals had a significant advantage over the Divines and the Shifters. They had the ability to change both Divines and Shifters into Infernals!"

"SO, what? I'll tell you this, I do need to combine forces with anyone. The Shifters will rise from the ashes of this faction war. Regardless if you are the Divines or the Infernals, you will all be stepping stones to our rise to glory!"

And now he finally knew the genuine reason Qiu Si had come looking for him. But to him, an alliance was not possible. That was because the Shifter's quest was to restore the Shifters, to make the Shifters rise above the Divines and the Infernals, to make both races to cower under the feet of the Shifters.

Jiang Feng's forcefulness and fearsomeness had made Qiu Si to be slightly surprised.

He couldn't understand how a monster could possess such ambition and audacity. This had caused him to miscalculate.

He patted his backside as he stood up from the ground, and he took out a metal piece the size of a fan and said to Jiang Feng, "Alright, if that's the case there's nothing more to be said. Give me the Xuanyuan Sword Fragment, and this Donghuang Bell Fragment will be yours!"

He wasn't expecting that he had a Donghuang Bell fragment!

Jiang Feng looked at the fragment in Qiu Si's hand and his eyes beamed, but he shook his head after giving it a thought and said, "No. I will take the fragment back myself!"

"So a fight is inevitable?"

Once he heard Jiang Feng's words, he squinted.

"Let us fight then!"

"Jiang Feng jumped down from Yanhu's head and put away Yanhu, Heifeng, and the Thunderclap Mantis. He then crouched on the ground, his dragon claws dug on the earth, preparing to attack.

"Fine. However, a battle should come with spoils for the victor." Qiu Si placed the Donghuang Bell fragment on the ground. "If I die, the fragment will be without an owner. Take it!"

Jiang Feng gave it some thought and took out the Xuanyuan Sword fragment and placed it on the ground as well. "If I die, the Xuanyuan Sword fragment is yours!"

Players could throw items onto the ground. If they did not pick them up in ten minutes, they would automatically disappear. Of course, the Primordial Artifacts' fragments were exceptions to this rule. However, it would be impossible for others to claim it unless the owner died.

That means that if he killed Qiu Si, the Donghuang Bell fragment would have no owner. He could then pick it up.

Qiu Si's level was also 18. His HP was around 8,000, and he couldn't compare to the HP that he had. He had a 99% chance to defeat Qiu Si.

Zoom!

Qiu Si's arm waved, a golden sword appeared in his hand. The side of the blade had a golden dragon carved into it, with its tip showing the head of the dragon unleashing a soft golden glow. It looked extremely holy.

"Requirem!"

Jiang Feng did not waste his breath as he activated the crowd-control skill Requiem from the Requiem Bell.

The sounds of a bell rang, and Qiu Si was stunned less than a second the moment he heard the bells. Golden light burst out from him, canceling the effect of the crowd-control skill.

"Divine Dragon Pierce!"

After negating Jiang Feng's crowd-control skill, Qiu Si jumped high into the sky, and a glint of light appeared as he prepared his move with the Divine Dragon Sword, and he speared towards Jiang Feng.

"Roar!"

At that instance, the Divine Dragon Sword unleashed a dragon's roar, and a golden dragon jumped out from the sword and reached Jiang Feng's side in the blink of an eye.

"Blink!"

Jiang Feng cried out and lightning flashed. His figure disappeared from where he stood and appeared behind Qiu Si.

"Dragon Howl, Roar!"

He did not wait for Qiu Si to reach and a dragon howl came from his mouth. Qiu Si's body staggered and he entered a dazed state.

"Tornado! Tiger Roar! Violent Grab! Bite!"

The moment that Qiu Si was dazed, he quickly used all his skills on him.

Only to see that Qiu Si had been thrown into the air by a tornado. The next moment, a beam of light shot through him. Next, Jiang Feng jumped high and entered the tornado to deliver a scratch with his claw on his shoulder. He opened his dragon's jaw and violently bit at his aorta.

-592.

-2687.

-2000.

-4325.

...

Four damages floated off Qiu Si, and the final Bite had caused a critical hit. The 8,000 plus damage had instantly killed Qiu Si!

Bang!

After Qiu Si had died, his body fell to the ground. It turned into white light and slowly disappeared.

Jiang Feng looked at Qiu Si's disappearing body, and said plainly, "I told you. No matter if you are the Divines or the Infernals, you were nothing but my stepping stone to restoring the Shifters!"

With that, he picked up the Donghuang Bell fragment, turned, and left.

Chapter 66: Banking Exchange Service

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Imperial Dragon City Respawn Point.

Qiu Si came out with anger.

'Another OHKO? Are both the Infernal and Shifter successors that powerful?' He thought to himself as he looked at the Divine Dragon Sword in his inventory, his eyes filled with defiance.

'Don't worry. Now I know all the skills you have. Next time we meet, I will kill you and the Infernals' Successor. Only the Divines are supreme!' He whispered to himself as he narrowed his eyes and left in a hurry.

...

After Jiang Feng had triumphed over Qiu Si, he left the Level 17 Porcuboar territory and headed towards the Level 18 Snapping Turtle's territory.

He kept on replaying the battle between Qiu Si and himself in his mind.

While the battle had ended in under a minute, he knew that Qiu Si had not shown his full powers at all.

There was no reason for Qiu Si, who had obtained the inheritance of the Divines, to be that weak.

The chief reason was because of his pride. Perhaps he had some kind of superiority complex after he had gained the Divines' Inheritance and felt that no players would be on equal footing with him.

It could be seen from the way he spoke earlier.

Another thing was that he did not know what skills Jiang Feng had. And he probably did not expect Jiang Feng had two crowd-control skills.

The first skill, Requiem, had been dispelled as soon as he used it. That means he had skills that could remove status ailments.

Unfortunately, after he had used that dispelling skill, he couldn't dispel the second skill, Dragon Howl. He wasn't anticipating that Jiang Feng would have so many skills and he would use them all on him. He didn't expect that his final skill would deal critical damage to him, and only because of that Jiang Feng could instantly kill him.

Of course, while he had instantly killed Qiu Si, he had also exposed all of his skills. The next time he wanted to kill him would be more difficult.

It didn't take him long until he reached the Snapping Turtles' territory

The Snapping Turtles had long spikes grown on their shells and had beaks like an eagle. It was around the size of Yanhu, and all of them were quite aggressive.

The Snapping Turtles lived by a creek within the Crouching Dragon Range, sunbathing under the sun in groups.

'Let's continue leveling and get another evolution pill!' He quickly put Qiu Si behind him and continued his journey to level and transmute evolution pills.

After killing Porcuboars for an entire night, Yanhu and Heifeng had reached Level 19. The Thunderclap Mantis had also reached Level 8.

But he still didn't allow the Thunderclap Mantis to join the battle and brought Yanhu and Heifeng to kill the monsters.

Snapping Turtle: Level 18 Monster

HP: 150,000

Attack: 800-900

Defense: 600 (Turtle Shell's Defense 500)

The Snapping Turtle had exceptionally high HP and Defense, but only moderate Attack and slower Speed.

While its moving speed was quite slow, it was quite intelligent. When Yanhu was attacking a Snapping Turtle, it suddenly extended its head, and viciously mauled off a piece of flesh from Yanhu's paw.

"Roar! That hurts, you damned turtle! I'm going to kill you!"

Yanhu was angered and jumped onto the shell of the Snapping Turtle, and kept attacking its neck and legs using his claw. As the Snapping Turtle only had its limbs, tail, and head exposed, he had to attack these locations to cause any significant damage.

With Heifeng and his attack power, they would deal no damage at all if their attacks land on the turtle shells.

However, Jiang Feng did not have to worry about this. He stood on top of a Snapping Turtle, his dragon claws kept on scraping off the turtle shell and causing damage. He was also safe from any retaliation.

In truth, the key reason that he came here to farm was that the Snapping Turtles were worth 1.5 times the experience more than other monsters at this level. The reward was very high and was worthwhile.

He had farmed until around seven or eight in the Snapping Turtles' territory.

In between, he had used Transmute Monster and got a drop of Bloodline. However, he did not get any Evolution Pill.

And in terms of his experience points, he was 10% away from reaching Level 19.

Looking at the time, he did not continue with the monster farming and put Yanhu, Heifeng, and Thunderclap Mantis away into the Qiankun Gourd. He then proceeded to log out.

After he went offline, he told his dad about the house that he had bought. While his father was astonished, he agreed to move after he had explained.

He called a moving company and spent his morning moving his old furniture to his new home.

Originally, he wanted to throw the old furniture away. Unfortunately, his father did not agree.

After he had finished moving, he went to the government department in the afternoon to hand the livestock back. He then took the payment for raising the livestock and the street cleaning, and he felt a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

The location of his new home was quite ideal. It was at the border between Qingyang's city district and the slums. It had hills and a pond, and it was very peaceful and quiet.

His new home was two-story-high with an enormous yard. The renovation wasn't that bad either. He had already hired some cleaners yesterday, so the house was properly cleaned and was ready for its new tenants to move in.

He and his dad would live on the first floor, and then he transferred the rest of the 20,000 to his father. His father loved to read, so it was for him to buy books.

After he had done all of those, it was already evening. After dinner, he then continued to farm in the game.

...

After five days, Jiang Feng was at the Level 21 Giant Croc territory. He violently clawed into the stomach of a Giant Croc and killed it.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching Level 22. You have received 3 free attribute points.

"I've finally reached level 22. I've spent too little time offline because of his classes."

After the weekend, he had lots of classes. That was why he had only leveled to Level 22 in five days. His name was no longer in the Level Leaderboards.

"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations. You have gained a Giant Croc Pelt, a Level 24 Experience Points, and an Evolution Pill!"

"An Evolution Pill! Looks like I'm quite lucky today. In that case, I have two Evolution Pills in hand now!"

Within the past five days, this was the only Evolution Pill that he had transmuted.1

'Now that I have two Evolution Pills, I can use the Matter Duplication Pill to get an additional one, which means I'll have three. In that case, Yanhu, Heifeng, and I all can evolve by one rank,' he thought with a smile.

Yanhu and Heifeng were both Level 22, but their ranks were still rank 4. Once they had eaten the evolution pill, it would greatly increase their power.

He took out the Matter Duplication Pill and used it on the Evolution Pill that he had just gained. Next, the Matter Duplication Pill gave out a soft glow and became an Evolution Pill.

Looking at Yanhu and Heifeng sticking out their tongues, swaying their tails, and looking at him fawningly, he smiled and gave the two Evolution Pill to them. "Alright, don't look at me like that. I told you I will give them to you, and I would do as I promised."

"Thanks, boss! You're the most handsome, I love you so much!" Yanhu took the Evolution Pill and said to Jiang Feng gratefully. He then ate it and began to evolve.

Heifeng thanked Jiang Feng as well and used the Evolution Pill.

Looking at Yanhu and Heifeng evolving, he took out two drops of Divine Dragon Blood and ate it.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations. Your Dragon Bloodline had reached 100%, Bloodline Purity 100%.

Once the Dragon Bloodline's value and purity had reached 100%, he then took out the other Evolution Pill and was prepared to evolve.

At this time, a server-wide announcement rang in his ears.

Ding! Server Announcement. The second batch of ten-million new players will enter the game. The Banking Exchange System is now open. The exchange rate is 1gp = 1RMB. Each exchange will have a 5% service charge. Hope you will have an enjoyable time in game!

"Hm? The second batch of players has entered the game? And the Banking Exchange System is now open? Looks like it's time for me to make a profit out of this!"

After listening to the server's announcement, Jiang Feng's mouth widened into a smile.

Chapter 67: The Commotion Caused by The Experience Pills

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the second batch of players came in, the Banking Exchange System was opened for business.

The server announcement brought a wave of announcements in the entire game.

Every major guild began to have members waiting in front of each city's teleportation circle. Once a new player had reached Level 10, they would approach him or her at the first moment.

Some guilds had even had banners stuck near the teleportation circle. Regardless, each major guilds have their advertisement spread throughout the thirty-six major cities.

Once the Banking Exchange System had been open, the wealthy had also become thrilled at this fresh development.

"Damn! Wang Xiaotian, just you wait! Your equipment and stats were better than mine, right? I will get a million to buy some new equipment, let's see how you deal with that!"

"Brothers! Follow me from now on and you'll have money and equipment! Two million to someone like me is just one month's pocket money! Let's do this!"

"Hello~ Xiao Liu from finance? Transfer ten million to my account from the company's account. What do you mean you have to ask my dad? Since you have to report to him anyway, transfer twenty million then!"

...

What did Huaxia have a lot of? The rich. And they were very, very, rich!

Even in the past, there had been wealthy individuals spending millions on online games. And there were so many playing this virtual game, and there were a lot of very wealthy people playing this game. Within those ten million players in the first batch, there were at least several million players that spent millions to get into the game.

Some larger guilds even had millions' worth of cash transferred to the account that was locked to the game for easy withdrawal.

As for Jiang Feng, the reason that he was excited was that he had stocked up on a lot of experience pills.

When he was at Level 15, he didn't use many of the Experience Pills that he had transmuted afterward. He was waiting for this batch of new players.

What did the new players need the most? Undoubtedly, it was levels. And that was how he could maximize the profit he could gain with the Experience Pills in his hands.

As for his levels, he didn't care that much. The current number one at the Level Leaderboard was only at Level 24. It would be Saturday tomorrow, and he had no classes. He could boost his levels to number one in one night.

Not to mention that if he wanted to increase 1 level, he would need at least 200 Level 10 experience pills, or 100 Level 20 experience pills. If that was the case, he'd rather kill monsters himself and use the experience pills to solve his financial woes.

After he bought the house and gave the remaining 20,000 to his father, he had not much money left.

He needed to forge various equipment for his underlings and needed to buy a large amount of equipment. He couldn't do that without money.

He opened his spatial bracelet and counted the experience pills inside. There were around 300 experience pills of various levels.

He didn't give it a second thought and placed them all at the Trading Hall.

Level 15 Experience Pills, 1,500 experience, sold at 100gp.

Level 16 Experience Pills, 1,600 experience, sold at 120gp.

...

Level 20 Experience Pills, 10,000 experience, sold at 500gp.

Level 21 Experience Pills, 10,500 experience, sold at 550gp.

...

Level 30 Experience Pills, 30,000 experience, sold at 1,000gp.

Level 31 Experience Pills, 31,000 experience, sold at 1,100gp.

...

He realized that the Experience Pills seemed to follow a formula. Experience Pills under the level of 20 increased the experience given by 100 every level. Those between 20 to 29 increased the experience given by 500 every level. The ones at Level 30 increased the experience given by 1,000 every level.

It could be said that the higher the level of the transmuted monster, the more experience the Experience Pills gives. And there existed a boost in quality every time a threshold was reached.

He only had several Experience Pills that were beyond Level 30. Most of them were between Level 15 to Level 22, and he had around 300 of those.

Once all of these Experience Pills were sold at the Trading Hall, it would no doubt cause a commotion.

While the price was set at a higher margin, he believed that there would be plenty of people buying it.

Ding! System Prompt. The Level 22 Experience Pill that you were selling had been purchased by Player X.

Ding! System Prompt. The Level 22 Experience Pill that you were selling had been purchased by Player X.

...

As expected, once the Experience Pills were made available in the Trading Hall, it hadn't even been three minutes when players began to buy them. The speed that they bought can only be described as hysterical.

Jiang Feng couldn't stop smiling looking at the amount of gp that entered his account.

And all the players that were browsing the Trading Hall had caused a huge uproar when they saw the pills.

...

In less than ten minutes, posts about the Experience Pills had exploded in number in both Weibo and the official message board.

"Damn! If I knew that there's stuff like this in the game, I would have bought it as soon so I could. Guess they're all sold out now."

"Of course there is! I heard that only someone with high-level Pharmacy skills can make them. I heard that Jiang Feng had gained the inheritance for both Smithing and Pharmacy, and his levels for these Craft-Profession Skills are exceedingly high."

"Poster on me, you're right. Jiang Feng was originally the number one in this game and had received more resources than us. I heard that once he had the inheritance for the two Craft-Profession Skills, he had switched to focus on them. I can't see him on the Level Leaderboard anymore."

...

At a time, both on Weibo and the official message boards were filled with topics on Jiang Feng.

Some said that he had received the divine inheritance for both Pharmacy and Smithing. Some said that he had received the Master level Smithing and high-level Pharmacy skill after he had finished the game's ten main quests.

Some had even said that Jiang Feng had entered the game and exploited the game's various bugs and had become OP.

If Jiang Feng saw any of the posts, perhaps millions of crows would fly past his head.

...

At the Central Business District, inside Canaan Guild's store. Canaan and Mu Xi looked at the Trading Hall, mouth opened.

Han Qianqian gulped and was the first one to speak, "Who is this Jiang Feng? He is already a Spiritual level Smith and had already sold so many pieces of equipment and pet eggs! And now he started selling Experience Pills too! Not to mention that does the game even have such a pill? I remember our pharmacist doesn't have the ability to do it. Maybe his Pharmacy skill has reached Spiritual level too?"

"This man is very mysterious. Perhaps he even had a way to increase his Pharmacy level to beyond Spiritual level," Canaan narrowed her eyes as he recalled the time that she met the masked Jiang Feng at the smithy.1

"Regardless, his selling the experience pill was beneficial to us. Those new players would increase their levels faster, and what we need to do now is to recruit more members and increase our guild's influence!" Mu Xi drank a cup of tea and explained her analysis.

"Mu Xi is right. Qianqian, you and Mo Yi bring some of our core members to all the 36 major cities and set up recruitment points!" Canaan told Han Qianqian and a fine-looking, quiet young man next to her.

"Alright," Han Qianqian and Mo Yi replied with a nod and left the store.

...

Myth Group store. Shen Ye asked Bai Xia about his search, "Have you found that Jiang Feng yet? Did we get all the Experience Pills?"

Bai Xia was disheartened and said, "There are too many people called Jiang Feng. Not to mention that no one had seen him in the game before, so there was no way for us to find him. As for the experience pills, I had collected around 200. Those above level 20s had been snatched by the rich from the new batch of players."

Shen Ye raised his eyebrow and said, "I never thought this Jiang Feng had hidden that well. Very well. After the release of the new Banking Exchange System, the loudspeakers are now being sold by the system. Go buy some and then use the loudspeakers to seek out Jiang Feng. Also, announce that anyone who joined us will get an experience pill once they have completed a guild quest."

...

Lingyun Pavilion's store. Lingyun said to his underlings, "Buy a loudspeaker to rope in Jiang Feng. Even if we can't win him over, use money to book experience pills and other equipment."

The first player to reach Level 10!

The first player to unlock a dungeon!

The first player to forge a piece of White-Silver equipment and Yellow-Gold equipment!

The first player to sell Experience Pills!

The player that had been steadily ranked number 1 in the Popularity Leaderboard!

The player that had been steadily ranked number 1 in the Equipment Leaderboard!

All of these titles had been given to Jiang Feng, and his light could not be hidden away. It was destined that he would become the most popular subject in the game as well as the player that all major guilds would find!

Chapter 68: Rank 2 Wyrmling

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, Jiang Feng didn't have the time to pay any attention to the discussions on him by the major guilds and players.

All he could see now was the gp he was pocketing, and he smiled so much that it narrowed his eyes.

All the Experience Pills, around 300 of them, that was placed on the Trading Hall were sold out in less than ten minutes.

He had profited around 130,000gp from the experience pills. After a 20% tax, he still had 100,324gp left.

"The tax rate by the Trading Hall is too high. I think I better find a way to buy a shop in one of the main cities," Jiang Feng felt the pain of having to pay around 20,000 in taxes and thought of buying a shop.

After buying a shop, he no longer needed to pay any taxes and that could help him save a sizeable amount of money.

Roar~

Just as he closed the Trading Hall panel, two tigers roared next to him.

The evolutions were a success!

He quickly looked at Yanhu and Heifeng.

After their evolution, Yanhu and Heifeng had become larger. Their stats had also greatly increased.

Their current HP had reached 100,000, Attack had reached 1,800~2,000, Defense had reached around 1,000. All in all, their stats had become higher than even his.

"Thank you, boss! Without you, we would never become this powerful! My guess was that we would have been killed by the humans a long time ago."

Yanhu walked with flames on his feet and walked towards Jiang Feng, his eyes brimming with gratefulness.

"That's right, boss. Not only did you save me, but you also made me even stronger. I will follow your lead forever!" Heifeng said in agreement.

Looking at Yanhu and Heifeng, Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction.

He didn't get the wrong followers. While those two loved to bicker with him, he knew that both of them had treated him as their best friend and their boss in this lifetime. Their loyalty was absolute.

"Protect me, you two. I am going to evolve now too!" Jiang Feng told Yanhu and Heifeng as he took out an Evolution Pill and ate it.

This time, he continued to evolve through the Dragon Bloodline.

After his selection, a blazing flame enveloped him and formed a fire cocoon.

The searing pain came, but he gritted his teeth and endured.

As time passed, he could feel the changes in his body. It felt as if his bones and flesh were being rearranged.

The time needed for his evolution was the same as before, only ten minutes. It didn't take as much time as he became a dragon the first time.

Ding! System Prompt: Evolution Successful.

Boom!

As the system's voice rang, the fire cocoon burst opened, revealing Jiang Feng's physical form.

Evolving from Rank 1 Wyrmling to Rank 2 Wyrmling, Jiang Feng had grown larger and longer in size. He was almost three meters long and his dragon scales were more radiant. His pair of dragon horns had grown by another two inches.1

Roar!

Jiang Feng, who had successfully evolved into a Rank 2 Wyrmling, raised his head and released a loud howl into the heavens as his dragon claws clawed into the earth.

His dragon howl had horrified the nearby Giant Croc so much that they jumped back into the nearby lake.

"The boss is so awesome!"

Seeing Jiang Feng's imposing form, Yanhu and Heifeng quickly flattered him.

Feeling the power in his body, Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction. He then checked his stats after his evolution.

Character: Jiang Feng

The evolution did not grant him as many attribute points as his first time. He had only gained 5,000 HP, 500 Attack, and 100 Defense.

Looking at his stats, Jiang Feng wasn't that satisfied.

These stats wouldn't increase as he leveled up, but would only increase when he fused and evolved.

Unlike players that could increase their stats automatically, they also gain 5 points of free attribute points that they could distribute freely. And they could also stack them up by wearing nine pieces of equipment.

Once someone had a complete set of White-Silver equipment, they would be no weaker than him.

"I only have one drop of Divine Dragon Blood left, and can't evolve anymore. Looks like I will need to focus on fusion after this. While the attributes from fusion were low, I won't fall behind the players much as I can keep increasing my stats. I also need to go back and forge some equipment to increase my power!"

While his current stats are higher than any other players, he had to set up better ways to increase his power to avoid the players from catching up.

If he wanted to quickly increase his power, then he would need to fuse with monsters. Especially monsters with powerful bloodlines. That, or forging a set of equipment that he could use.

"Now that my level has increased together with my stats, I should go and unlock the entire Cave of the Undead. But before this, I should use up that lottery chance I got from my successful evolution," Jiang Feng mumbled as he went for the lottery and spun the wheel.

In a moment, the lottery had begun and the indicator began to quickly spin , it then eventually stopped at the Pill category. Next, a golden treasure chest appeared in front of him.

"A pill? Hopefully, it's another Matter Duplication Pill."

He rubbed his dragon paws and waited excitingly as the golden chest opened. Within it was a red pill and not the white Matter Duplication Pill.

Life Prolonging Pill: Once consumed after death, can be revived fully. Equipment and level won't drop.

"Life Prolonging Pill? Not bad. It can have a significant effect at a critical time."

While he was slightly disappointed that he did not get a Matter Duplication Pill, but the effect of the Life Prolonging Pill was not to be underestimated.

He put away the Life Prolonging Pill, then Yanhu and Heifeng. He then ran towards the Cave of the Undead at the Crouching Dragon Range.

Ding! City-wide Loudspeaker: Hello Jiang Feng, I am Bai Xia from Myth Group. We would like for you to join us. As long as you are willing to join us, you can state any conditions. If you agree, please accept my friend request!

Ding! City-wide Loudspeaker: Hello Jiang Feng, I am Lingyun Pavilion's leader, Ling Yun. I know that like freedom, so we would like to invite you to become our Guest Elder with a monthly salary of 500,000. You don't have to do anything. If you agree, please accept my friend request, and we can go into the details.

Ding! City-wide Loudspeaker: Hello, Jiang Feng. I am Tianxia Gang's leader, Hao Tian. I'm offering you a salary of 1,000,000 to join our guild...

...

After running on the ground for a while, Jiang Feng saw a bunch of banners appearing in the sky. All the banners had his name.

"My goodness. City-wide Loudspeaker. I saw them when I was selling the Experience Pills. The Trading Hall is selling one for 100,000. What a bunch of rich people!" Jiang Feng was surprised as he looked at the invitation on the banners.

From where he was from, it was wasting money by spending 100,000 just to get a message to him.

However, he knew why the major guilds were willing to spend so much to get him to join. By using his reputation, he could use him to earn even more money. Not to mention that he had achieved Spiritual-Level smithing, the guild had no need to worry about equipment afterward. The Experience Pills were also something that can be used to increase the guild members' levels.

As long as they could get him to agree, they were probably willing to spend millions without hesitation. So 100,000 was just a small change to them.

Unfortunately, he would never agree. That was because he was the Shifter's Successor and he could not join any guilds from the Divine or Infernal faction. Not to mention that even if he wasn't the successor, he couldn't join them either way.

He was a monster, not a human. His polymorph skill would only allow him to transform into a human for about 101 minutes. Not to mention that he didn't adjust his appearance at all. If he accidentally exposed his actual identity, it would become very problematic back in reality.

"I never thought that they would be so crazy. Looks like I have to be more careful when I enter the city after polymorphing. From now on, I shouldn't let anyone see my true identity, and I should only appear in my monster form!"

He knew that there were many forces back in the actual world that would use extreme measures to get talents that could help them rake in the profits.

After his rise, all the different factions had definitely seen the endless profit they could gain from him. If he ever exposed his identity, they would no doubt intimidate him physically, or even use his father to threaten him.

"The path to becoming the Shifter Emperor is destined to be a lonely one!"

Jiang Feng sighed and ignored the banners fluttering in the sky and sprinted towards the Cave of the Undead.

Chapter 69: Guild-Building Order

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The first floor of the Cave of the Undead contained Level 15 monsters.

At this time, most of the players had already reached Level 20. There weren't many players on the first level. Only some parties had passed the first level to get to the second level.

Once he had reached close to the Cave of the Undead, he did not enter it immediately. Once there wasn't anyone, he used Blink and blinked to the portal. He then took out the key to the fourth floor and used it to enter the fourth floor.

As soon as he entered the fourth floor, he encountered a group of armor-wearing skeleton soldiers.

Skeleton Soldiers: Level 30 Monster

HP: 100,000

Attack: 1,200 ~ 1,300

Defense: 800

Skills: Dash, deals 120% of base damage to an enemy.

"Come out!"

He took out the Qiankun Gourd and let out Yanhu, Heifeng, and the Thunderclap Mantis.

The Thunderclap Mantis was at Level 15. As his stats weren't that great, he would focus on fusing the Thunderclap Mantis to increase its stats.

Before he was going to start attacking the monsters, he took out three drops of normal monster bloodlines and consumed them.

The three drops of bloodline were those that he had transmuted in the past five days.

They were the Giant Croc Bloodline, Storm Panther Bloodline, and Unihorn Bull Bloodline.

After consuming the three drops of Bloodline, his stats had improved somewhat. His HP had reached 36,500, Attack reached 2,958, and Defense reached 1,200.

Looking at his HP, he felt a bit helpless. While he was also a monster, his base stats were too low. That was why his HP was much less than Yanhu's and Heifeng's.

If he were the king of a territory when he entered, he would have much higher HP as well. Unfortunately, he was only a Level 1 Wild Dog when he entered the game.

"Kill them!" With his stats increased, he issued a command coldly as he took out the Dragonball and caught it with his claw.

Roar!

Yanhu and Heifeng roared and rushed towards the Skeleton Soldiers.

Jiang Feng also threw out the Dragonball as soon as he could.

The Dragonball streaked through the air quickly and smashed the head of a Skeleton Soldier in the blink of an eye.

-2,130.

The Dragonball didn't fly back after hitting the Skeleton Soldier and bounced towards the few other Skeleton Soldiers next to it. That was indeed the Bounce skill from the Dragonball.

Yanhu and Heifeng both rushed toward the Skeleton Soldier that was hit and used all their skills on it.

In but a moment, that Skeleton Soldier had lost around 7,000 HP.

Creak...

The battle had begun, and the thirty Skeleton Soldiers from the fourth floor approached them wearing their heavy armor.

Whoosh!

"Watch out!"

At this time, the Skeleton Soldiers that were approaching suddenly used their Dash skill, and their movement speed had increased. Seeing what, he quickly warned Yanhu and Heifeng as he used his Float skill to take flight.

The scene of thirty Skeleton Soldiers dashing at the same time was quite terrifying. Yanhu and Heifeng managed to dodge a few Dashes, but they were still struck a couple of times and each lost around 5,000 HP.

While they couldn't care less about losing that negligible amount of health, it enraged them. After all, being damaged by monsters that were like mere puppets was a humiliation to them.

And because of that, their attacks became more cunning, and in a short while, they managed to kill a Skeleton Soldier.

"Transmute Monster!"

Seeing that Yanhu and Heifeng had killed a Skeleton Soldier, Jiang Feng, who was fighting another Skeleton Soldier at the time, used Transmute Monster on the one that was killed.

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations. You have received a piece of equipment, one bag of virus, and one Level 30 Experience Pill.

'Just as I thought!'

As he expected, the Skeleton Soldiers that were wearing armor would drop equipment if he transmuted them.

After killing the monster and he looked at the Skeleton Soldier wearing the heavy armor, he had guessed that if he could transmute the armor and other equipment it was wearing. And after some testing, he could!

Undead Set—Boots: White Silver Equipment

Agility 50

30% Movement Speed

20% Evasion

Active Skill: Ghostly Shadow, Movement Speed increases by 150%. Duration of 5 seconds. Cooldown of 10 seconds.

Prerequisite: Any Level 30 Warrior Classes.

"An undead set for the warrior classes!"

He took the equipment set and gave it a look, but he did not expect it to be an undead set for the warrior classes.

There were quite a number of undead set equipment being sold in the market. Since all the cities could unlock the Cave of the Undead dungeon, and there were so many players that farmed in the Cave of the Undead, there were about a hundred of these already. However, most of them were Black-Iron sets or Green-Bronze sets. White-Silver sets hadn't appeared yet.

The one that he had received was a Level 30 set equipment, and a White-Silver one at that. Not even one had appeared in-game yet. If he could sell them a few days later, he could definitely sell it at a good price then!

"If I could gather a set of Level 30 White-Silver Undead Set, their price would double. I won't be Fusing today then, I'll focus on Transmute!" He became thrilled at the thought and he grabbed the Dragonball and hurled it at a Skeleton Soldier that was going to attack him.

...

After spending an hour, he led Yanhu and Heifeng and cleared the creeps on the fourth floor. And they had fought with the boss of the floor, the Undead General for about twenty minutes.

Undead General: Level 35 Boss

HP: 33,843/ 300,000

Attack: 2,500 – 2,700

Defense: 1,200

Skill: Bash, Sweep the Army

"You damned animals! How dare you tarnish my honor! Die!"

The Undead General held his greenish-black greatsword in front of his chest horizontally. He then began to spin, cutting towards Jiang Feng, Yanhu, and Heifeng.

"Oh no, run!" Jiang Feng quickly yelled at Yanhu and Heifeng when he saw that the Undead General was preparing to use his ultimate skill.

Alas, the Undead General was too fast and managed to draw Yanhu and Heifeng into his attack.

Yanhu and Heifeng's HP decreased continuously as they were drawn into the Undead General's ultimate skill, and their 50,000 worth of HP were instantly decreased to about 30,000. One attack had dealt around 20,000 worth of damage to Yanhu and Heifeng.

"What a terrifying ultimate. Retreat and heal, I'll take it on!" Seeing what had happened, Jiang Feng became serious as he took out two Large Recovery Pills and fed them to Yanhu and Heifeng.

With the Dragonball, his attack had become long-range so the Undead General's ultimate attack didn't affect him. His life was still at full.

"Requiem! Tornado! Tiger Roar! Violent Grab! Bite! Check it out.."

Seeing that Yanhu and Heifeng had retreated from the battle, he suddenly rushed into battle and once his skills were no longer in cooldown, used them all on it.

-1,244.

-2,013.

-1,452

...

A string of red numbers floated from the head of the Undead General.

After using all his skills, Jiang Feng retreated and launched his Dragonball at the Undead General who was still stuck in the Tornado.

In less than a dozen seconds, the Undead General had less than 10,000 HP. That meant that the burst damage from the string of skills and normal attacks had taken out almost 20,000 worth of HP from the Undead General.

The Undead General skills had been spent, and it only had around 10,000 HP remaining. It finally died at the hands of Jiang Feng who kited him to death with the Dragonball!

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations! You have slain the Level 35 Undead General, receiving 50,000 experience points.

Ding! Server Announcement: Cave of the Undead Fourth Floor unlocked!

He picked up the key that would allow him to go to the fifth floor and used Transmute Monster on the corpse.

"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"

With that, he used Transmute Monster and successfully transmuted the corpse of the Undead General.

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations You have received one bag of virus, one piece of equipment, one Guild-Building Order, and one Level 35 Experience Pill.

As his Luck increased, even if he were to no longer transmute living creatures and to only transmute corpses, the success rate of Transmute Monster had steadily increased.

"A Guild-Building Order?!"

Hearing the system's voice, Jiang Feng was stunned as he could hear his own heart pounding.

Chapter 70: Imperial Dragon Auction House

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were hundreds of guilds within the game at this point in time.

However, none of the guilds had a guild base.

All the guilds were using shops as temporary guild bases.

Many of the guilds had sent out a lot of their members to find a Level 35 boss and farm for the Guild Building Order, of course.

It could be said that the guilds had gone to great length to find the Guild Building Order. If one of these appeared, they would no doubt go berserk just to grab it.

"Haha, I never thought that it would drop a Guild Building Order! A high Luck has its uses!"

Jiang Feng looked excitedly at the black, metallic Guild Building Order with the character for "Guild" written on it.

He looked at the guild as if he was looking at a pile of cash, his eyes beaming.

He was just a monster and he couldn't build a guild, so he couldn't use the Guild Building Order to build a guild base.

Building a base required him to go to the Imperial Dragon Palace and looked for the Land Surveyor. When one entered the Palace Gate, all the effects on him would be dispelled, so he couldn't enter even if he used Polymorph. Once he became a monster, the guards would not hesitate to kill him. That was why even if he could build a guild, he couldn't use the Guild Building Order.

While he couldn't use the Guild Building Order, he could sell it for money.

The rarer the item was, the more valuable it would be. There would naturally be a bunch of rich people willing to buy it with a high price as the aim to gain a large number of rewards for being the first guild to build a base. He would become rich in no time.

"Looks like it's time for me to buy a shop. If I could sell it in my own shop, then I could build my shop's reputation. All I need is an advanced A.I. worker, I don't need to manage it and I could earn money!" He said with a smile as he put away the Guild Building Order and entered the official website to check on the shop's features.

Shops could be separated into normal shops, high-level shops, and golden shops.

The location of the shops was different. Normal shops were located at the least obvious of locations. High-level shops and golden shops were located in the Central Business District's most central locations, where it was more crowded.

OF course, the different types of shops had different prices.

Normal shops would only cost 800,000. High-level shops would cost 150,000 while golden shops would cost 3,000,000.

It could be said that a golden shop would cost as much as a physical shop in the real world.

"800,000? Looks like I have to borrow some money!"

He needed to sell the Guild-Building Order. Currently, there were no guilds that had built a Guild Building Order yet. That meant that the one in his possession was possibly the first in the game. The value of the first Guild Building Order was far higher than the value of the second Guild Building Order. If he couldn't sell it as soon as possible, once another guild had obtained a Guild Building Order, the one he had would have far less value.

The moment he thought of that, he opened his Friend panel and searched for Mu Xi. He then sent her a message, "You there?"

Mu Xi replied instantly, "I'm here. You have some good equipment again?"

Jiang Feng replied to her, "No, I just want to borrow some money."

Mu Xi: How much?

Jiang Feng: 900,000gp!

The reason that he borrowed so much was that because other than buying a shop, he needed to employ a worker as well. He also needed to do some marketing. All of this needed money and they didn't come cheap.

Ding!

As soon as he said he needed to borrow the money, his system inbox beeped.

He opened it and saw the message on Mu Xi's transfer. He had received 900,000gp from Mu Xi.

He knew that Mu Xi was someone that was gracious, but he did not expect her to be so generous and directly transferred the money to him. She didn't even ask for anything. Looks like she trusted him a lot and was not worried that she would be lied to.

"Thanks, I'll give it back to you in two days."

He didn't ask why she would lend him so much that easily. He thanked her and then closed the chatbox.

"Now that I have the money, I need to go buy the shop!"

Once he had the money, he didn't continue to the fifth floor of the Cave of the Undead to farm the monsters. He put away Yanhu and Heifeng, polymorphed into a human form, used his hair to cover his face, and teleported back to Imperial Dragon City using the Town Portal Scroll.

There were more and more players in Imperial Dragon City. There were players all over the place, and many merchants had opened up stalls by the street.

With that many people, he was worried that his identity would be exposed. He chose places where no one would notice and headed toward the Central Business District.

After about ten minutes, he had arrived at the Central Business District safely and entered the Business District Reception Hall.

There weren't many people in the Business District Reception Hall. He went to the counter then said to the female NPC behind it, "I would like to buy a normal shop!"

"This is the map for the normal shops distributed around the city. Please choose." The female NPC showed him the map of the Central Business District where the normal shops were distributed.

"This one!"

He couldn't be bothered and simply chose a random normal shop.

"Please choose your shop's business model and content."

"Auction House!"

"Please choose your shop's name!"

"Imperial Dragon Auction House!"

"Naming successful. The amount will be automatically deducted from the shop. The deduction is successful. Congratulations on owning your own shop. May your business be profitable!"

"I want to employ a steward and an auctioneer, both with advanced A.I."

"A steward with advanced A.I. and an auctioneer with advanced A.I. will cost you 100,000gp every month. As you are the first buyer to hire a steward with advanced A.I. and auctioneer with advanced A.I., we will give you a low-level A.I. worker for free. All the employed A.I. staff are now in your shop. Please go ahead and confirm!"

...

A normal shop, a steward with advanced A.I., and an auctioneer with advanced A.I. cost him 900,000gp.

After buying the shop and employing the steward and auctioneer, he found his shop in a most inconspicuous place within the Central Business District with the Management Order in his hand.

The shop had the auction house model and was separated into two floors.

The first floor was where the auction would take place, with two hundred seats. On the second floor were twenty rooms.

Compared to the high-level shops and golden shops, it was indeed quite small. However, it would have to do.

"Master, I am the Imperial Dragon Auction House's Steward. Please grant me my name!"

"Master, I am the Imperial Dragon Auction House's Auctioneer. Please grant me my name!"

"Master, I am the Imperial Dragon Auction House's Worker. Please grant me my name!"

!"

As soon as he entered the shop, an honest middle-aged man, an extremely beautiful woman, and a youngster with a cleaning rag came and bowed in front of him.

"Uncle Fu, Daji, and Xiao Liuzi!"

The steward was named Uncle Fu. The auctioneer, being so seductive, was named Daji. The youngster was named Xiao Liuzi.

After giving them all their names, he gave the steward the Guild-Building Order, the Undead Set, Experience Pills, and some low-value equipment.

"You are the super stewards that I had employed, so you know the value of these items?" Jiang Feng asked after he gave the items to Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu received the items, gave it a look, and said, "Of course, Master. Please do not worry. According to my reserved calculation, these should be able to bring us a profit of 5,000,000 at this time."

"5,000,000? Reserved calculation?!" Jiang Feng stared at him in disbelief.

Uncle Fu nodded and said, "From what can be seen, the major guilds have been properly established and all they were lacking is a base. The bidding for the Guild-Building Order will be very intense. With Daji's skills in auctioning, we should be able to achieve an extremely high bid price. As for the 30th level White-Silver Undead Set, there were none in any of the major shops. It had never appeared in the market as well. That meant that it is unique to us, and we should be able to auction it for a high price. As for the Experience Pills, the new group of heroes would need it, and we could get a high price for them as well!"

'My goodness, as expected of an NPC with an advanced A.I.! The analysis was spot on!' Listening to Uncle Fu's analysis, Jiang Feng knew that the money he spent on Uncle Fu was worth it. Because from what he could hear from Uncle Fu, he should have access to a system that allowed him to analyze the market. Otherwise, he wouldn't understand the market at such a degree.

If that was the case, he could be at ease.

After granting full rights about the auction to Uncle Fu, he bought a City-wide Loudspeaker despite the pain to his wallet.

"I just said earlier that those who used the City-wide Loudspeakers were idiots, I never thought I would become an idiot this soon too."

Looking at the City-wide Speaker in his hand, he smiled bitterly as he shook his head.

He had no choice. This shop's location was too unremarkable. If he wanted others to know where his shop was, he needed to make a promotion.

Ding! City-wide Loudspeaker: Hello, everyone. I am Jiang Feng. I know that many of you know who I am. From today onward, I will not sell anything through the Trading Hall again. Anyone that wants to buy Experience Pills or Equipment, please head to the Imperial Dragon City's Central Business District. The Imperial Dragon Auction House is at the eastern end. Tonight, the Imperial Dragon Auction House will auction a Guild-Building Order, a Level 30 White-Silver Undead Set, 100 Level 30 experience pills, as well as other equipment. I look forward to seeing you all there tonight!

With City-wide Loudspeaker made its announcement, it caused an uproar among the players at the Imperial Dragon City and the players at the surrounding monster territories.

All the guild leaders and high-ranking members of the guilds were filled with excitement.

Many players and high-ranking members of the guilds quickly headed towards the Imperial Dragon Auction House.

Chapter 71: Advanced A.I. Uncle Fu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once the news of the Guild Building Order had been known, the guild leader of each major guilds led their underlings and headed to the Imperial Dragon Auction House.

Myth Group, guild leader Shen Ye: "Jiang Feng had built an auction house? And he'll be auctioning the Guild Building Order tonight? Bai Xia, follow me. We must have the Guild Building Order!"

Tianxia Gang, guild leader Hao Tian: "Yu Zhi, come together with me to the Imperial Dragon Auction House. Regardless if it's the person Jiang Feng or the Guild Building Order, we need to get both into our guild!"

Lingyun Guild, guild leader Ling Tian: "Chen Mo and Ba Ge, let's go together. We need to find a way to get the Guild Building Order!"

...

When all the guilds were heading towards the Imperial Dragon Auction House, the people from Canaan Guild did not leave their shop. Instead, they were in the middle of a meeting.

Canaan looked at Mu Xi, almost crying and said, "Mu Xi, my beautiful girl, why didn't you discuss with me first when Jiang Feng was asking to borrow money from you? If I knew that he had the Guild Building Order, I would have bought from him with a high price privately!"

Mu Xi simply sipped some tea and said, "I didn't know that he had a Guild Building Order."

Canaan shrugged and said helplessly, "What's done is done. We have to fight for it now. The first Guild Building Order is going to be extremely valuable. Mu Xi, you have to support me, I'm dirt poor now."

Mu Xi nodded. "Alright."

...

It didn't take long for a bunch of players to surround the Imperial Dragon Auction House.

Jiang Feng was no longer at the auction house at the time. Uncle Fu and Xiao Liuzi blocked at the entrance of the auction house, denying the players entry.

"What's with the old man? Why don't you let us in? Tell your boss Jiang Feng to come out! Tell him that the guild leader of Husha Gang wants to see him!"

"Is Husha Gang even a thing? Nice to meet you, uncle. I am Wudi Gang's vice guild leader. I would like to request to meet with your boss, Jiang Feng!"

"Nice to meet you, uncle. I am the guild leader of Fanyun Gang. Can I meet with your boss?"

...

While all the players surrounded the entrance looked ordinary, but they were all guild leaders and vice guild leaders. They were all there to meet with Jiang Feng. No doubt hoping to meet him directly and buy the Guild Building Order from Jiang Feng directly.

Once the Guild Building Order was publicly auctioned, many guilds would no doubt try to grab it. Then, the Guild Building Order's price would be speculated to an extremely high price. Small guilds like them could never afford that.

"Look, the top 5 guilds are coming."

All the players turned their heads when someone yelled out.

Only to see that Shen Ye from Myth Group, Hao Tian from Tianxia Gang, Ling Yun from Lingyun Pavilion, Canaan from Canaan Guild, and Xing Yu from the Xingyu Gang all came from different directions.

Very quickly, they had all arrived in front of the Imperial Dragon Auction House.

Looking at Uncle Fu and Xiao Liuzu that were blocking the entrance, Shen Ye asked, "We still can't go in yet?"

"Master Shen Ye, please wait for five minutes," Uncle Fu very respectfully replied with a silly smile.

Seeing that Uncle Fu was so respectful toward him, Shen Ye felt that he had been shown some reverence. He then nodded with a smile and said, "Looks like the Imperial Dragon House has its rules. Five minutes it is then!"

Those from the other four major guilds and heard Shen Ye's conversation with Uncle Fu and waited on where they were standing with patience.

They had to have a level of magnanimity to be able to become guild leaders of such large guilds after all.

As for all the other smaller guilds, they didn't cause any chaos seeing that the guild leaders of all the top five guilds were there. After all, if they were to offend the top guilds, they would be in trouble when it was their turn to build their guild bases.

Five minutes went past very quickly.

Uncle Fu then said to Xiao Liuzi beside him, "Distribute the numbers."

Uncle Fu was the Imperial Dragon Auction House's steward and was of a higher rank than Xiao Liuzi. So, he could naturally command him.

"Of course!" Xiao Liuzi nodded and took a stack of numbered blocks and walked towards the players with a higher status.

Xiao Liuzi first went to the guild leader of the top guild in the game, Shen Ye from Myth Group, and extended his hand towards him with a small wooden block in it. He said, "Room number 1, you can bring 5 people in, 1,000gp!"

"What? You need money for that?" Shen Ye asked with a frown.

Uncle Fu smiled and said, "We're a small business and we have limited space, so this is just for us to earn a little. I don't think that guild leaders and assistant guild leaders would mind paying with some pocket change?"

Shen Ye blushed in embarrassment as he heard Uncle Fu's words, and quickly took out two bags of gold coins to Xiao Liuzi, "I was just joking. I was just being curious. You're right that it's just pocket change. Here's 2,000gp. Consider the extra 1,000 is your tips."

"Then I thank you, Master Shen Ye. I wish that you will return home with a great yield," Uncle Fu thanked him.

Shen Ye took the numbered block and brought Baixia along and entered.

Xiao Liuzi then took the numbered blocks and approached Hao Tian, and said, "Room number 2, you can bring 5 people in, 1,000gp"

Hao Tian paid him and followed tightly after Shen Ye.

In a short while, all 220 numbered blocks had been distributed.

The 220 numbered blocks fell into the hands of 100 guilds and 120 players. These guilds and players were all quite wealthy.

Those players that didn't get any numbered blocks started to make a ruckus.

"Damn, what's the meaning of this? Why didn't you give us any numbers? Are you looking down on us? One room is just 1,000gp, right? I'll pay, so let me in!"

"That's right! I can pay you no matter how high you're charging, what right do you have for not letting us in?"

"What kind of number 1 is this? I think Jiang Feng is just looking down on us common people. Damn you. So what if you don't let me in? It's not like I want to go in anyways."

...

Uncle Fu still carried a smile despite him being drowned in shouts and curses, and explained to everyone there, "Our auction house is very small, and we only had 220 places available. I would like to extend my apologies to all of you. But do not get angry just yet. The auction will begin in 1 hour, and we will live stream the auction right outside on the walls of the Imperial Dragon Auction house. You can also bid from outside the auction house, so please excuse us!"

After Uncle Fu's explanation, the players became less angry. However, there were still many that weren't satisfied and cursed Jiang Feng. However, it was clear that they were merely jealous of him.

...

Imperial Dragon City, in a room in the smithy.

Jiang Feng smiled as he looked at the shop's live feed and the guilds and players entering the shop.

"As expected of a steward with an advanced A.I. He even knew about selling tickets and pacifying the masses! So worth it! Once I've sold the Guild Building Order, I must buy him!"

Twenty rooms, each room was worth 1,000gp, and he had earned a total of 20,000gp.

Two hundred seats, each seat was worth 200gp, and he had earned a total of 40,000gp.

He had earned 60,000gp just on the tickets alone, and it was enough to hire Uncle Fu for a month and some. It was easy to understand how well the value was to hire Uncle Fu.

With the 60,000gp in Uncle Fu's hand, he spent 1,000gp to buy drinks and snacks from within the game and distributed them to all his customers in the rooms and seats. He spent another 11,000 and hired 220 servants at a rate of 50gp per hour and had each of them stand beside their customers and to hold their auction paddles. The service provided was impeccable.

"Yes, these spendings are necessary. The customers must be happy with the services provided after all. Uncle Fu is giving me so many surprises," Jiang Feng said excitedly. "He knew about market analysis, is business-minded, and treats others well. This game's advanced A.I. is much higher than human intelligence. I feel like I'm falling deeply in love with this game!"

Chapter 72: Backdoor

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The time was evening, half-past eight. There was still an hour left before the auction began.

Jiang Feng closed the live feed on the shot and prepared to forge a piece of equipment.

His polymorph duration still had around 50 minutes left. He was going to forge a mask that would allow him to hide his identity.

He couldn't keep masking his face using his hair every time he went into a city after all. If the wind blew his hair away, he would still be exposing himself.

Whoosh...

He took out a bunch of ores from the Qiankun Gourd.

The ores were mostly mid-level and high-level ores with high quality. Those were the ones he bought with the 100gp he had on him before the Banking Exchange System was opened.

Before the Banking Exchange System was opened, all the items were priced very low. After the system was opened, the items' prices had increased. A high-level ore needed 20gp each.

Before the Banking Exchange System was opened, he could get two with 1gp.

Of course, the true price of the items wasn't that far apart since the ratio of a gold piece and 1 yuan were quite far apart.

After taking out the ore, he walked to the mold rack and chose an empty mold, and carved the shape of a mask.

Very quickly, the mold for a half-mask appeared in his hand.

He gave it a look and nodded at it satisfyingly. Other than showing his mouth and chin, the mask would cover everything above the nose.

"Begin the forging!"

With the mold complete, he took out ten high-level high-quality ore into the smelter, and sprinkle some Molten Iron Powder. The ten ores quickly became molten.

He poured the molten metal into the mold and began hammering it with the smithing hammer.

Masks had yet to exist within the game, so he wasn't sure what it would look like after he had completed the forging.

He carefully forged his first mask and hammering it away again and again.

"Smithing!"

He had only stopped after hammering for about half an hour and used the Smithing skill on the mask in the mold.

Ding! System Prompt: Smithing Successful. Congratulations. You have obtained an 'unnamed' White-Silver Equipment.

Unnamed: White-Silver Equipment

Maximum HP 1,000

Defense 50

Reduce incoming attacks targeting the face by 30%.

5% chance of nullifying any attacks.

Invisibility: Active Skill. Once activated, gain the Invisible status effect. Attacking or being attacked will remove the Invisible status. Duration of 5 minutes. Cooldown of 1 minute.

Prerequisite: Level 20, any class.

"Equipment that increases maximum HP, adds to Defense and nullifies Attacks, not to mention the Invisibility skill! This is a piece of phenomenal equipment among the White-Silver Equipment, almost as good as a Yellow-Gold Equipment!"

In this game, there was very little equipment that increased the maximum HP. The value of such equipment was always higher than others of the same level.

But the true reason that he would describe it as phenomenal was because of the Invisibility skill.

Invisibility was the assassin class's unique skill and a skill that other classes wished they had. They can use it for offense and escape. All in all, a very practical skill.

"I'll call it Dark Shadow. I still have about ten minutes of polymorph left, and the auction was almost starting. I better leave the Imperial Dragon City to watch the auction!" He donned the Dark Shadow Mask after naming it and put away all the remaining ores and then ran towards the outskirts of the Imperial Dragon City.

While no one could see his face after he wore his mask, he had easily caught the attention of other players. Out of curiosity, the players would use Identify on him.

When those who used Identify saw Jiang Feng's basic information, they became excited.

"Damn! That player with the mask is Jiang Feng! Isn't he supposed to be at the auction house by this time?"

"I want to ask him where he got his mask from. That's so cool."

"The game hasn't even started selling mask-type equipment yet. I guess he forged it himself. Alright, ending this conversation right here and now. I'm going to go and worship my idol."

...

Suddenly, many players began to chase after Jiang Feng.

The players cried out and screamed, and he could hear all kinds of cheers and adulations from them. It had caused Jiang Feng to grow embarrassed.

"I have to shake them off, or I would be in deep trouble if they saw what I look like after my polymorph's duration runs out!"

He turned and looked at the players chasing after him. He then activated High-Speed Movement, and his speed spiked. He quickly threw the players off.

Once they were no longer in sight, he used the Invisibility skill on the Dark Shadow mask and entered an invisibility state. He then continued heading to the outskirts.

The smithy wasn't far from the Northern Gate. He had quickly exited the Imperial Dragon City, ran to the edge of the moat, and jumped into the moat.

Once he was inside the moat, he looked around. When he saw that there weren't any players, he dismissed the Polymorph skill and regained the form of a Rank 2 Wyrmling.

After he had returned to the form of a monster, he found a hidden place in the moat's riverbed and hid in it. Then he opened the Shop Management Panel and looked at the live feed of what was happening in the shop.

There was still about ten minutes away from the auction, but what shocked him the most was that the guild leaders and players didn't show any sign of irritation after one hour of waiting. Instead, they all looked at the auction stage with much fascination.

He rotated his video towards the stage.

"You... You can do that?"

Only to see that on the stage, a group of beauties with very exposed clothing were dancing by shaking their hips, and in front of the gorgeous dancers were scholars drinking wine and chatting... It was a drama performance.

"To think that you can even stage a performance, Uncle Fu is the best!"

Beep, beep.

Just as he was praising Uncle Fu, his Friend panel started to blink. It was from Canaan.

Curiously, he switched his view to Canaan's room and looked at those in the room, and read Canaan's message.

Canaan: "Jiang Feng, let's discuss this."

Jiang Feng: "No."

Jiang Feng refused her directly. He knew what Canaan wanted to do. She wanted to use the backdoor to get the Guild Building Order.

Canaan: "Can you at least listen to what I wanted to say before refusing me?"

He could see Canaan banging her foot on the floor angrily from the video.

Jiang Feng replied with a smile: "Speak!"

Canaan: "Alright, here's the gist of it. I don't have that much money right now. When the auction starts, I will keep on bidding. But when the time comes, I probably won't be able to pay you all the money at one go. Can I owe you that amount first? I'll pay you back later, ok?"

From her message, Jiang Feng knew that she was going to make a bad bid!

Meaning that she was going to bid without money. She was also asking him to open the backdoor for her so that she could bid for the Guild-Building Order, pay him a portion of the money first, and pay the rest later!

Just as he was going to refuse Canaan, he suddenly saw the door to the room opened. Mu Xi and Nangong Tiaotiao walked in, and they chatted with Canaan with a smile on their face after they entered.

'Hm? Why are they here? Are they both in Canaan Guild?" He thought inquisitively as he looked at Mu Xi and Nangong Tiaotiao.

He gave it some thought, then sent Mu Xi a message.

Mu Xi was slightly stunned and replied.

Looking at Mu Xi's reply, Jiang Feng smiled and agreed to Canaan's request

Since he had agreed to help Canaan, then he needed to inform Uncle Fu.

Luckily, he could give others to his staff through the Shop Management Panel.

"Uncle Fu, the Guild Building Order would be sold to Canaan Guild. It's fine if they were bad bidding!" He gave Uncle Fu an order.

Chapter 73: Auction (Part 1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

'Mu Xi is wealthy beyond the ordinary definition. What is her relationship with Canaan? Why is she helping her like that?' He thought to himself curiously after giving Uncle Fu his orders as he looked at My Xi's message.

Mu Xi: "I'm indeed from Canaan's Guild. I also know that she wanted to make a bad bid. Just agree to it. I'll transfer 3,000,000 to you now. No matter how high the bid gets, I will pay you the difference. Consider the 900,000 that you owe a gift in return for your silence. I hope that you will not tell Canaan or anyone else. In addition, for maintaining a business relationship between my guild and yourself, once our base has been built successfully, I will reserve a golden shop for you and give you a 50% discount. The other guilds offered you far less than this, so what is your answer?"

It was because of that message from Mu Xi that had made him agree with Canaan's request.

In truth, if it wasn't because of Mu Xi, he wouldn't have agreed to that at all.

Canaan was simply promising him that she would repay him in the future. While she would most likely make good on that promise, she never gave him a timeframe. What if she dragged the payment? What if she wasn't as trustworthy as he thought?

While he couldn't believe in Canaan fully despite her intelligence, he had worked with Mu Xi so many times and he had chosen to trust her.

Not to mention that he didn't make any loss, and he had earned 900,000 for nothing. Not only that, Mu Xi now owed him a debt.

And also, Mu Xi was right in her last sentence.

He had grudges against Myth Group and Lingyun Pavilion. He didn't want them to have the Guild Building Order anyway. If they did obtain it, then they would get more powerful. When he had to announce his identity and fight both the Divines and the Infernals, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

In comparison, Canaan Guild had worked with him a few times and even promised him a discounted golden shop.

Only a fool would refuse such a beneficial transaction.

Of course, the only reason that Mu Xi dared to deal with him in such a way was that she was extremely rich. Or that she was crazy.

Ding!

He heard a sound from the system. And when he looked at the notification, he had just received the 3,000,000. She was indeed very generous.

"She's pretty and she's rich. I think I'm starting to like this woman called Mu Xi," he said plainly as he looked with narrowed eyes at the 3,000,000 in his account. He had never seen so much money in his life. "The auction is going to start soon. I wonder how much the Guild Building Order would be sold for. I wonder if it was as Uncle Fu estimated, that it can be sold for at least 5,000,000?"

He stared at the video feed expectantly in front of him, looking at the whole auction as it began.

...

The smoking-hot Daji walked up to the auction stage while swaying her hips. Behind her were a row of servant girls, and each of them was holding a tray. A piece of red cloth covered the tray.

Daji smiled charmingly as she stood on the auction stage, and said in a clear voice, "Thank you everyone for coming to the Imperial Dragon Auction House. I am the auctioneer of this auction house, Daji. I wish you all a fruitful evening!"

"Let us begin at once, ladies and gentlemen. Our first item is a Level 20 Green-Bronze weapon equipment. Please look at the screen for the stats. We will start the bidding at 500, and each bidding can be no lower than 100. Let us begin!" As she spoke, she removed the cloth on the tray, and the stats of the Green-Bronze weapon equipment had been shown on the screen on top of the auction stage.

The weapon was a Green-Bronze sword and increases strength and attack speed. It also had a Pierce effect as its passive skill, allowing it to ignore Defense. It was indeed an excellent weapon.

Jiang Feng transmuted this weapon from the corpse of a Level 20 boss enemy.

Looking at the weapon, the 200 people sitting on their seats looked with excitement and started the bidding.

"I bid 800!" Someone increased the price by 300 at the first go.

"1,000!"

"1,200!"

...

The bidding was extremely intense. Every time someone bid, Daji would bow in respect. Every time she did that, her pair of snowy-white mounds would be revealed, making the eyes of the players widen. When some male players saw this, they would even blush.

A piece of equipment with a market price of around 1,000gp had its price increased to 2,500. In the end, it had been sold to a stout man.

Jiang Feng noticed that the leaders in the room didn't even look at the equipment. That meant that they weren't interested in them at all. It looked like only the White-Silver Undead Set, Experience Pills and Guild-Building Order would be able to draw their attention.

There were only a few such pieces of set-less equipment. Only five of them, but each and every one of them was good equipment, transmuted from bosses by Jiang Feng. They were all auctioned off pretty quickly.

A tome, a wizardly weapon, had been sold to a player outside the Imperial Dragon Auction House by bidding 10,000 and it had surprised many.

The five pieces of equipment had been sold for around 40,000 and had exceeded the market price by around 10,000.

Seeing that, Jiang Feng smiled and said, "This Daji isn't bad too. Once I've sold the Guild Building Order, I'll buy her as well."

And finally, the climax had arrived.

Daji removed the cloth on another tray. On the tray were fifty yellowish pills.

"Item number six that is being auctioned is fifty Level 30 Experience Pills. Each pill gives 30,000 experience pills, and fifty pills are 1,500,000 experience pills, which equaled to two levels and a half for a Level 20 player. Two levels and a half will allow a player to surpass many on the Level Leaderboard, and the number 1 on the leaderboard will be given substantial rewards each week. It can be said that the Experience Pills are symbols of status and wealth. We will start the bidding at 50,000 and each bidding can be no lower than 1,000. Let us begin!

"60,000!" This time, a guild leader in his seat started the bid.

"Husha Gang's so stingy, we from the Fanyun Gang will bid 100,000!" Fanyun Gang's guild leader sneered at Husha Gang's guild leader.

"Fanyun, are you looking for a fight? 120,000!"

..

For a moment, Husha Gang and Fanyun Gang started to argue with each other, and they had increased the bid for the pills to 200,000.

"300,000!"

Myth Group from room number 1 called out and increased the bid by 100,000 in an instant. The arguing Husha Gang and Fanyun Gang both became silent, sighed, and did not bid.

300,000 had far exceeded the market price for the 50 Experience Pills, and other guilds didn't believe that they were worth that much and didn't bid on it as well!

Next, the seventh item. They were still the fifty Level 30 Experience Pills.

The fifty Experience Pills had been sold to Myth Group for 200,000,

The reason that the second batch of Experience Pills was bid less than the first one was because there was no one bidding on it. That was why the price had decreased so much.

100 Experience Pills being sold for 500,000, Jiang Feng was so happy that he couldn't shut his mouth.

The 100 Experience Pills were all transmuted from the Skeleton Soldiers spawned on the fourth floor of the Cave of the Undead.

Only now had he realized that the Monster Transmutation System was extremely overpowered. Something that he transmuted without effort could create so much wealth for him.

"Our eighth item. One full set. Of Level 30. White-Silver. Undead Set!"

Daji purposely paused at each meaningful word, and the players on the floor had all become ecstatic and thrilled. Even the guild leaders in the rooms had their attention drawn to the Set Equipment.

This Undead Set was the only White-Silver equipment set that existed in the game and could be used without waiting for long.

Once a player wore this equipment set, their stats would be boosted by two or three times. No wonder they were all so attracted to it.

Looking at the excited players, Jiang Feng felt that even he was getting excited as well, and he looked forward to seeing what would happen next in the auction.

Chapter 74: Auction (Part 2)

The Undead Set was made out of an inner armor, outerwear, a pair of pants, boots, and a weapon.

Jiang Feng had only managed to get one set after sweeping through the entire fourth floor of the Cave of the Undead. They had a very low drop rate.

His guess was all the monsters on each floor would only drop one set of equipment at different quality. The higher the quality, the lower the drop rate.

The fourth floor probably only had this White-Silver equipment set and he could only obtain it thanks to Transmute Monster. Even the weapon from the Undead Set was transmuted from the Boss.

The entire Undead Set increased HP by 3,000, Attack by 1,500, and Defense by 500. It also had three active skills and three passive skills.

One of the three active skills was an area-of-effect offensive skill. It was indeed the Undead General's Sweep the Army skill.

"I believe that all of you have seen the stats of this set of equipment. We will start the bidding at 100,000 and each bidding can be no lower than 10,000. Let us begin!"

As Daji's voice rang, the Undead Set's bidding had begun.

"150,000!" Tianxia Gang was the first one to bid.

"250,000!" Lingyun Pavillion was the second one.

...

While the normal players wished to get the equipment, they gave up once they saw the bosses of the guilds themselves were grabbing the equipment.

The wealth of the normal players couldn't be compared to the bosses of those guilds, after all.

In the end, the Undead Set had been bought out by Tianxia Gang's Hao Tian at a bidding price of 800,000.

Ling Yun, Shen Ye, and the others would bid, but when they thought of having to bid for the Guild Building Order, they gave up on the bidding.

While the Level 30 White-Silver equipment was good, it was only a transitional set of equipment in the end. Once they were at Level 35 and 40, they would have to give them up, and they couldn't use it for long. The market price was at most around 300,000. 800,000 was too much.

"Now is the time for the climax! Our last item, the Guild Building Order! There is no need for me to introduce the use of the Guild Building Order. Let us get straight into it! We will start the bidding at 1,000,000 and each bidding can be no lower than 10,000. Let us begin!"

"1,000,000! The bid for the Guild Building Order was already that high, how are we going to bid later?" When a player heard the starting bid of the Guild Building Order, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

To him, the price of a million was too high. Not to mention that this was just a game.

"Is 1,000,000 too high? My guess is that this first Guild Building Order would be sold at a bid of at least 3,000,000. Just wait until the first guild had built a base. They would definitely earn a profit from that!" Another player retorted.

"2,000,000!"

Just when the players were still in an uproar, Shen Ye was the first one to bid. He directly doubled the starting bid, and many of the players looked with disbelief.

"2,100,000!" Tianxia Gang's Hao Tian bid.

"2,200,000!" Canaan bid as well.

...

In just a short moment, the Guild Building Order's bidding price had already reached 3,000,000. Some leaders of smaller guilds and players were completely stunned at that moment.

Canaan frowned, and raised her hand to signal the waitress to bid. She mumbled, "I never thought the competition for the Guild Building Order would be this fierce. If this continued, it was very possible for it to go beyond 5,000,000!"

Mu Xi supped her tea gracefully and calmly said, "Just bid. We'll pay for it afterward."

Canaan smiled bitterly and said, "All these years I only had 3,000,000 in savings. Looks like I have to sell my house to pay him back."

...

Shen Ye, "4,300,000!"

Ling Yun, "4,500,000!"

Hao Tian, "4,600,000!"

...

The bid continued to increase. Only four guilds were left in the competition. They were Myth Group, Lingyun Pavillion, Tianxia Gang, and Canaan Guild.

Canaan Guild didn't follow up at this time, but let the other three compete with each other.

"5,000,000! If any of you bid higher than me, I'll give up!" Ling Yun went for another bid and said that.

"5,500,000. Thank you for giving up, I hope that Shen Ye you will give up too!" Hao Tian increased the bid by another 500,000.

"I'm sorry, but Myth Group won't give up on this Guild Building Order. 6,000,000!" Shen Ye said with a smile.

"I'm stopping!" Hao Tian said angrily.

To these people, they were all worth a few dozen million. However, there was no need to waste so much money on a Guild Building Order.

They needed to manage a giant guild, and that needed a lot of money. While they did give up on the auction, they could still build a base after looting their own Guild Building Order. The only thing that they lost was the title of being the first guild that built the base and the rewards.

"6,100,000!" While Lingyun Pavillion and Tianxia Gang had given up, Canaan did not and continued bidding.

"Canaan, just give up. I know that you only had that much capital in your hand. Even if you build the first guild base, you couldn't surpass Tianxia Guild. You cannot win our bet," Hao Tian, who was in room two, said with a smile after he was stunned momentarily after seeing that Canaan was still bidding,

'Hm? Bet? What bet?' Jiang Feng couldn't help but wonder after hearing Hao Tian's words after it startled him. He then looked at Canaan who was biting her lips.

"Hao Tian is right. Give up. 6,200,000!" Shen Ye agreed at this exact moment.

"7,000,000! The Guild Building Order is mine!" Canaan announced coldly.

After increasing the bid for another 80,000 directly, Shen Ye became silent.

But Jiang Feng saw it. He saw that Shen Ye was not going silent, but was discussing something with Baixia.

After discussing for a very long time, Shen Ye's eyebrow was raised, as if he had heard something interesting and nodded with a smile.

Because Jiang Feng couldn't hear what they said inside the room, so he didn't know what they were talking about.

"Since you wanted the Guild Building Order that much, I will gladly oblige. It is yours, Ms. Canaan!" Jiang Feng could only hear his words again after Shen Ye activated the room's loudspeaker.

What he didn't expect was that Shen Ye didn't choose to continue. It surprised him.

Logically speaking, someone as prideful as Shen Ye wouldn't give up that easily, especially after he said that they wouldn't give up on the Guild Building Order. What did Baixia say to him exactly?

What made him even more suspicious was that after hearing Shen Ye giving up, the others in the room all had the expressions of "as expected," as if they were not surprised at all.

Were the major guilds all planning on doing something?

Suddenly, Jiang Feng was slightly shaken up, as if he had something figured out. He then let out a bitter smile and whispered, "Looks like Canaan Guild will be in trouble. I can probably use this time to earn some more money!"

"7,000,000! It's a deal! Congratulations to Ms. Canaan from Canaan Guild! The Guild Building Order is yours!" As soon as Daji had finished, Uncle Fu walked onto the stage.

"The current auction has now ended. Now, we would like to make an announcement. Every Friday at 8 in the evening, the Imperial Dragon Auction House would have an auction. If anyone had anything that wanted to be auctioned off, you may seek us out to have your items auctioned. We will only charge a 5% service charge. We guarantee that all items auctioned here would be sold at an agreeable price. Finally, thank you all for attending the auction. We shall meet again next Friday!"

After Uncle Fu had finished speaking, the auction had finished. All the players that had come for the auction had dispersed. However, some of the major guilds did not leave, and all came before Uncle Fu and asked him of Jiang Feng's whereabouts.

...

When the major factions all went to Uncle Fu to ask about his whereabouts, he stopped paying attention since he had already told Uncle Fu to not reveal his location.

Ding!

Just as he was prepared to leave the moat and closed the shop's video feed, he received a notification from the system.

"I have the capital now!"

The notification contained the record of Mu Xi transferring 4,000,000 to him. He smiled excitedly as he looked.

"Now that I have the funds, I'll let Uncle Fu help me buy some ores. If the auction house were to continue operating, I will need a large amount of equipment," Jiang Feng said as he looked at the time. "It's almost time for the Chinese Ghost Story quest. I should go and complete it. But before then, I should go and clear the fifth floor of the Cave of the Undead!"

With that, he had left the moat and ran towards the direction of the Crouching Dragon Range.

Chapter 75: Canaan's Worries

As he was on his way towards the Crouching Dragon Range, he calculated his total income.

He had sold the five pieces of equipment at 42,000, 100 Experience Pills at 500,000, a Level 30 White-Silver Undead Set at 800,000, the Guild Building Order at 7,000,000 and including the ticket money that Uncle Fu had in his possession after minus the cost, his total income this time was 8,387,000gp. It was equal to 8,387,000 yuan.

"I never thought I would earn almost ten million by just playing a game in less than half a month. Looks like this game had formed its own unique economy."

He understood it after he gave it some thought. This game was the first holographic virtual reality game, its realism had reached 99%. It's like humanity's second world.

Including the importance that was attached to it by each country, the game's value had increased by manifold. As time went by, it was possible for this game to really develop its own economics.

Of course, it was all thanks to the Monster Transmutation System that allowed him to earn so much money. Otherwise, he wouldn't be that powerful. Perhaps he would be like the other players. Not only could he not earn any money, but he would also have to spend a lot.

At this stage, there were very few that had earned any money from the game. Like other games, only those that were the best could have earned money. Unless they had exceptional luck, normal players couldn't earn any at all. In fact, it was quite possible for them to lose money instead.

Looking at the eight million gp, he gave it a thought and then upgraded the Imperial Dragon Auction House. He spent three million to upgrade it into a golden shop and spent another one million to expand its size.

While he was very rich, he had never thought of simply keeping the money and not using them. After all, he was a university student with excellent grades, and he knew that only by utilizing the money he had could he earn even more. If he saved them, they would simply lose value, and became less and less.

Upgrading the shop and expanding its size can be done using the Shop Management Panel. Very quickly, after spending four million, his shop began to go through a massive change.

The inconspicuous Imperial Dragon Auction house was now at the central locations of the Central Business District. Its size had also increased from two floors to five floors.

After the shop's size was expanded, the Imperial Dragon Auction House had also become much more varied in its operation.

The first floor was the equipment area. The second floor was the pills area. And the third, fourth, fifth floors had become the auction area.

The fourth and fifth were all rooms, and there were a hundred of them. The third floor was an auction hall with levels of seating in a tiered arrangement that could seat around 5,000.

After upgrading the shop, he then spent another three million and bought Uncle Fu and Daji.

"I never thought that buying out a steward and auctioneer with an advanced A.I. would be so expensive. 1.5 million each!" Jiang Feng mumbled to himself after buying Uncle Fu and Daji. Regardless, he spent the money without hesitation. To him, Uncle Fu and Daji could bring him even greater wealth.

Looking at his remaining 1,387,000gp, he gave it some thought and saved one million in the auction house for Uncle Fu's use. That was for buying some high-level, high-quality ores for his smithing use.

As for the remaining 387,000, he converted 300,000 into yuan and was left with 87,000.

"Whew. I'm instantly broke again. Earning money is quite hard, but it's so easy to spend them all!" He looked at the 87,000 n his inventory and lament with a bitter smile.

Then he remembered something and grinned wickedly. "It's fine. It wouldn't be long until Canaan Guild sends me some money again."

The reason he said that was because of the Guild Building Order.

Since Canaan Guild had received the Guild Building Order, then they would find a place to build their base as soon as possible. Once their base had been built, they would need to defend against monsters attacking their base.

Myth Group, Tianxia Gang, Lingyun Pavillion, and other major guilds wouldn't allow her to simply build the game's first guild base, and would definitely attack alongside the monsters.

At that time, Canaan Guild wouldn't be able to stand against them. They would definitely ask for help from other guilds.

Then, all he needed to do was to appear and ask for an enormous amount of ransom, then lead the monsters to slaughter all those from the other guilds.

In truth, he already had a plan in his heart when he saw Shen Ye bidding for the Guild Building Order.

A plan to weaken the Divine and Infernal forces.

As soon as the attack on the base began, he could appear using his form as a monster when Canaan was defending her base. He could freely massacre the players to take their equipment and gain a sizeable amount of experience points as well as honor points.

Of course, he wouldn't allow Canaan Guild to have no losses at all. That was only for him to fulfill his own needs and for his sole benefits. He wouldn't bet his life to protect the base. As long as the base remained standing in the end and he had weakened all the guilds, he would have achieved his objective.

If he could accomplish that, then the powers of the players from the Divine and Infernal faction could not keep up with him in the short term. And with his levels far surpassing everyone, he would be at an advantageous position at the coming Great Divine-Infernal War.

"I'm sorry, Canaan. You're very smart, but in order to restore the Shifters, I'm afraid that I'll have to use all of you! My apologies in advance!" Jiang Feng smiled even brighter as he thought of this.

Suddenly, he felt that he was quite a schemer. But he loved the feeling of having everything under his control.

"I have to recruit some powerful followers before the Canaan Guild could complete their guild base. One I have cleared the Cave of the Undead, I need to go find some followers!" He mumbled as he increased his movement speed, running quickly towards the Cave of the Undead.

...

Imperial Dragon City, Canaan Guild's Shop. All of Canaan Guild's high-level members were celebrating.

"Yay~ Sis Li is the best! She managed to get the first Guild Building Order!" Han Qianqian happily said.

"Big Sis is so good!" Nangong Tiaotiao was also happy on Canaan's behalf.

Many of the high-level members congratulated Canaan, but she didn't smile. Instead, she was getting serious.

"Sis Li, what's going on? You're not happy that we had the first Guild Building Order? Or is 7 million too much? That's right, 7 million was not a negligible amount. You can even buy a house in the capital city..." Han Qianqian mumbled as she saw Canaan wasn't that cheerful.

"Enough." Mo Yi, who was sitting by the side, stared at Han Qianqian. He was also not thrilled at all.

Han Qianqian looked at Canaan, Mu Xi, and Mo Yi. Seeing that they were all serious, she asked in confusion, "What's with all of you?"

Other than Canaan and Mu Xi, Mo Yi was the smartest out of the high-level members. He looked at Han Qianqian, then the other high-level members who were similarly confused. He then explained, "All of you really think that we can become the game's number 1 guild after we obtained the Guild Making Order? You've been daydreaming. Even without calculating how much money we need to spend to build the guild base, once we have finished building it, monsters will appear to attack us. It was obvious what Shen Ye wanted when he gave up in the bidding. He didn't want money and didn't want us to build the game's first guild base, so when the monsters attack the base, they would definitely attack us as well. We would then be in grave danger. Can you still smile now?"

"Um..." Han Qianqian and the other listened to Mo Yi's explanation, and all went silent. The atmosphere became instantly listless.

Canaan was quiet for a bit, then stood up. "Mo Yi, I'll leave the base building to you. I'll transfer the money to you later, I'm going to log out for a moment."

With that, Canaan had logged out from the game.

"What is Sis Li going?" Han Qianqian asked.

"Sell her car! Sell her house! Get some outside help. Mo Yi, you are Lili's smartest cousin You have to do your best," Mu Xi said as she left the shop together with Nangong Tiaotiao.

"Sell her car? Sell her house? Did Sis Li have to go so far?" Han Qianqian couldn't understand due to her lack of sophistication.

Mo Yi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Sis Li has bet everything she had on this for her happiness. We can't be a burden to her. Come on, let's go find a place to build our base!"

Chapter 76: Transmuting the Skeletal Knight Lord

After running for a while, Jiang Feng had finally arrived close to the Cave of the Undead.

As the fourth floor of the cave had been unlocked, and that it had dropped a set of level 30 White-Silver Undead Set which was sold for a high price at 800,000, it had caused an influx of players rushing into the Cave of the Undead with the hope of getting a set of high-quality Undead Set either for their own use or to be sold.

"If only the monsters could wear equipment like the Dark Shadow. Then they can all use Invisibility, and there was no need for them to hide here and there." He smiled helplessly when he saw the number of players. He blinked into the first floor and quickly used the fifth floor's key to enter the fifth floor.

Once he entered the Cave's fifth floor, he could see a hundred Skeletal Knights not far away.

Skeletal Knight: Level 35 Monster

HP: 150,000

Attack: 1,600 ~ 1,800

Defense: 1,000

Skill: Bull Rush

"Skeletal Knights? Didn't expect them to have that much HP. There were one tier higher than the level 30 Skeleton Soldiers. It's going to take more effort in killing them." Jiang Feng mumbled to himself as he looked at their stats.

However, he didn't start killing the monsters but looked for the Donghuang Bell fragment on the fifth floor.

Through the use of the Divine Fate Compass last time, he knew that there was a piece of the Donghuang Bell fragment somewhere within the Cave of the Undead. He couldn't find it on the first four floors, then it must be in the fifth.

He frowned. He had scoured the fifth floor, and yet he couldn't find the fragment.

"Hm?"

It was at this moment that his sight was locked at giant Skeletal Knight in the middle of the group of Skeletal Knights.

A round-shaped Donghuang Bell Fragment was lodged into the front of his breastplate.

Skeletal Knight Lord: Level 40 Boss

HP: 500,000

Attack: 3,200-3,500

Defense: 2,000

Skill: Bull Rush, Trample, Leadership, Sky-Piercing Slash

"No wonder I couldn't find the Donghuang Bell fragment. It was on it all along. Looks like I'll have to clear this stage."

He was overjoyed when he saw the fragment on the Skeletal Knight Lord. He then summoned Yanhu, Heifeng, and the Thunderclap Mantis, and attacked the monster.

The Thunderclap Mantis was already at Level 18, but its attack was only in the 900s. However, it had extremely high mobility.

The reason that he summoned the Thunderclap Mantis was not for it to attack the monsters, but it was to use its high mobility to lure a monster over. He would then kill it together with Yanhu and Heifeng.

The level of the monsters here was too high. He couldn't do what he did earlier and lured a small group of them. He had to kill them one by one. It was safer that way.

Under his control, the Thunderclap Mantis flew towards a Skeletal Knight. Once it was within its aggro radius, it would quickly retreat as the Skeletal Knight gave chase.

Once the Skeletal Knight had reached them, he would violently push himself off the ground using his dragon claws, jumped high, and bashed the Skeletal Knight's head using his Dragonball. Yanhu's and Heifeng's attacks would also hit the Skeletal Knight around the same time.

The Skeletal Knight fell onto the ground in less than a minute as they continuously attacked it.

"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations. You have gained a bag of virus and a Level 35 Experience Pill.

"Let's continue!"

With that, the Thunderclap Mantis lured another monster over. One of his claws would bash it using the Dragonball while his other claw would strike at the Skeletal Knight, increasing the efficiency of his attack.

If he only used the Dragonball to attack from range, he would deal less damage per second. That was why he had the Thunderclap Mantis to lure the monster over.

...

In less than two hours, they had cleared the Skeletal Knights on the fifth floor. Only the Skeletal Knight Lord was left.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching level 23. You have received 3 free attribute points.

In less than half a day, he had managed to increase another level. Looking at the level leaderboard, he had the confidence that he could surpass those in front of him in a day or two.

Other than his level being increased by 1, he had also obtained two pieces of Level 35 White Silver equipment from the Undead Set.

"To think that I could only transmute two of the set pieces from the Undead Set after transmuting 99 Skeletal Knights. Looks like the higher level it is, the harder it is to farm!" He said disappointingly as he looked at the outerwear and the boots in his spatial bracelet.

"Both of you restore your HP. The Skeletal Knight Lord is going to be a tough boss to fight. Once your HP is almost empty, quickly retreat. Don't die!" Jiang Feng warned Yanhu and Heifeng and gave them a Large Recovery Pill each as he stopped sulking in his disappointment.

When Yanhu and Heifeng both had recovered their HP fully, he then used the Dragonball in his hand and whacked the Skeletal Knight Lord with it.

-1,242.

The Skeletal Knight Lord's Defense was very high. His Attack, nearing 3,000 could only deal around 1,000 damage to it.

"Foul vermin, die!"

Being attacked, the Skeletal Knight Lord let out a chilling cry and bolted towards him riding its skeletal horse

"That's so fast!"

Seeing that the Skeletal Knight Lord had reached him in just the blink of an eye, Jiang Feng was taken by surprise but managed to quickly use High-Speed Movement to move out of the way of the Skeletal Knight Lord's attack. At the same time, he went behind it and attacked.

Neigh!

-2,442.

The skeletal horse let out a high neigh, raised its forelimbs, turned, and slammed on him, causing around 2,000 damage.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Feng cursed under his breath and took a Small Recover Pill, and once again attacked the Skeletal Knight Lord. At the same time, he activated all his skills on it. "Requiem! Tornado! Tiger Roar..."

-1,324.

-2,443.

-1,283.

...

All the skills had caused around 10,000 worth of damage to the Skeletal Knight Lord.

And when the Skeletal Knight Lord was still stuck in the Tornado, Yanhu, Heifeng, and he quickly attacked.

Unfortunately, Yanhu and Heifeng could barely breach the Skeletal Knight Lord's defense. They didn't damage him much, and most of the damage was dealt by Jiang Feng.

"Sky-Piercing Slash!"

The moment that the Skeletal Knight Lord escaped the Tornado, it used its ultimate attack when it fell from the sky.

"No!"

Boom...

-5,324.

-6,234.

-6,749.

...

Before Jiang Feng, Yanhu and Heifeng could avoid the attack, the Skeletal Knight Lord's attack had reached them. Three high damage values floated off their heads, causing them to enter a daze for two seconds.

During his daze, Jiang Feng could feel the pain being inflicted on his body. He knew that the Skeletal Knight Lord was viciously attacking him.

"Blink!"

The moment that he escaped from the Daze status, he quickly blinked behind the Skeletal Knight Lord and took a Large Recovery Pill.

Because of the Skeletal Knight Lord's attacks, his HP had dropped by 20,000. He could be killed if he was any slower.

"Yanhu, Heifeng! You two focus on interrupting it! Forget about damage, I'll take care of it!" Jiang Feng said to Yanhu and Heifeng, then quickly used Transmute Monster on the Skeletal Knight Lord.

"Transmute, damn it!"

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster failed.

The Skeletal Knight Lord was stunned for a brief moment when the flames from Transmute Monster were enveloping it, and Jiang Feng aggressively launched the Dragonball in his claw toward it.

While the flames from Transmute Monster couldn't cause it any damage, it could at least interrupt it.

Not to mention that if he did succeed, he wouldn't need to fight cautiously afterward.

In order to prevent himself from being attacked by the Skeletal Knight Lord, he wouldn't dare letting it get close to him. He stood far away, using the Dragonball to kite it, and used Transmute Monster to disrupt it every once in a while.

The fight lasted very long, for almost two hours. He had used Transmute Monster for about a hundred times. Only when the Skeletal Knight Lord's HP was less than half did he successfully transmute it. During the battle, there were a few times when he was almost killed. He had even prepared the Life Prolonging Pill.

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations. You have received one bag of virus, one piece of equipment, one skill book, one piece of Donghuang Bell fragment, and one Level 40 Experience Pill.

Ding! Server announcement: All five floors of the Cave of the Undead are now unlocked.

"Whew~ I managed to get another piece of the fragments. There were still 31 out there. Once I'm done with the Chinese Ghost Story plot quest, I should go seek out the other fragments," he mumbled to himself and looked at his loot this time.

The Level 35 White-Silver Undead Set's weapon was dropped, and there was another skill book. It was a welcomed surprise.

Sky-Piercing Slash: Active Skill. Deal 200% of base damage to all enemies in front of you who are within a 60-degree angle.

Prerequisite: Warrior Classes.

"This is a great skill! Unfortunately, I can't learn it. I guess I can only sell it then," he put away the skill book and the equipment, then looked at the bag of virus in his hand confusingly. "What's the use of this bag of virus? Why didn't it have any effect on my enemies when I scattered them? Maybe I have to throw them into the enemy's mouth? Or turn them into pills?"

He had used the bags of virus when he was fighting the monsters earlier, but unfortunately, they didn't have any effect every time. This made him feel helpless.

"That's fine, next time I should try throwing it into the mouth of the enemy," Jiang Feng shook his head as he put away the bag of virus. He then looked at the time and mumbled, "There's still around eight hours before I have to meet up with Ning Caichen. I should go and capture some minions, and fuse the Thunderclap Mantis with other monsters when I'm working on that at the same time."

With that, he opened the map and took a peek. He then left the Cave of the Undead.

Chapter 77: Surrender or Die!

Crouching Dragon Range, Level 30 Brutish Gorilla territory.

Jiangfeng, Yanhu, Heifeng, and the Thunderclap Mantis had torn through the Brutish Gorilla territory and finally found the Brutish Gorilla King.

Brutish Gorilla King: Level 35 Rank 6 Boss

HP: 350,000

Attack: 2,500—2,700

Defense: 1,500

Skill: Heavy Slam, Shockwave

"Brutish Gorilla King! Surrender or die!"

Jiang Feng raised his dragon head and held his Dragonball, and yelled at the Brutish Gorilla King as he lay on a tree.

"Roar! So what if you're a dragon? If you want me to surrender, show me your power!"

The Brutish Gorilla King said to him, let out a howl, and tore toward Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng looked at it and violently launched the Dragonball in its claw towards the Brutish Gorilla King!

In less than an hour, the Brutish Gorilla King who had only a bit of life left cowered on the ground and said, "If you can make me even stronger, I am willing to follow you!"

...

Greenwind Ridge, Level 25 Poisonous Scorpion territory.

Jiang Feng yelled out coldly, "Poisonous Scorpion King. Surrender or die!"

Poisonous Scorpion King: "Die!"

Half an hour later, Jiang Feng used Transmute Monster on both the Poisonous Scorpion King and the Thunderclap Mantis.

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful!

After fusing with the Poisonous Scorpion King, the Thunderclap Mantis's had grown a long, poisonous tail. Its stats had also been greatly boosted.

...

Deep within the Twilight Forest, Level 30 Blackscaled Python territory.

Jiang Feng held the corpse of a Blackscaled Python in its claw and said to the Blackscaled Python King, "Blackscaled Python King, surrender or die!"

The Blackscaled Python King, which was about 33 meters long, looked at Jiang Feng with a sneer. "A mere wyrmling like you dared to challenge me? I shall swallow you whole, and transform into a dragon!"

One hour later, Jiang Feng used Transmute Monster on the Blackscaled Python King and the Thunderclap Mantis.

After fusing with the Blackscaled Python King, tiny black scales began to form all over the Thunderclap Mantis body. Its stats had once again been increased.

...

Xiling Valley, Level 30 Fire Ape territory.

Jiang Feng said to the Fire Ape King, "Fire Ape King, surrender or..."

"I surrender!" The Fire Ape King did not let Jiang Feng finish his sentence and kneeled before him, surrendering to Jiang Feng.

"Um... Why did you surrender that fast?" Jiang Feng was startled and asked it in confusion.

"All the Level 30 territory kings that are rank 5 or 6 in the Crouching Dragon Range, Twilight Forest, Xiling Valley, and Greenwind Ridge were either killed or surrendered to you. I don't want to die, so I might as well just surrender!" The Fire Ape King cried.

"Oh? How did you know?" Jiang Feng asked inquisitively.

"Boss, all the territorial rulers could freely communicate with each other. The news had already spread. It would be difficult for you to find any other territorial kings as they had all hid somewhere by now," Yanhu explained to Jiang Feng.

"I see. Well, we're almost out of time anyway. Let's finish the plot quest first and we can continue recruiting some more followers when we go to other cities."

With that, Jiang Feng then put away the Fire Ape King and fifty Fire Apes into the Qiankun Gourd.

After seven or eight hours, Jiang Feng had gone to the four territories around the Imperial Dragon City and killed five Level 30 and Level 35 bosses and recruited three bosses, and his level had increased to 24.

The three bosses were the Brutish Gorilla King, which he gave the name Manwang. The Fire Ape King was given the name Houwang. The Crimsongold Rat King was given the name Haozi.

Every time he recruited a boss, he would recruit another fifty of the boss's common variant.

Other than Yanhu, Heifeng, and the Thunderclap Mantis, there were three more bosses and 150 normal monsters that were in the Qiankun Gourd.

The other five bosses that he killed, he had used Transmute Monster to fuse them with the Thunderclap Mantis. He had succeeded four times and failed once.

The Thunderclap Mantis that had fused with four bosses had become very powerful. More powerful than Yanhu and Heifeng.

It was a Rank 8 monster after all, and it had gained more stats when it fused.

Of course, if the Thunderclap Mantis didn't consume any higher level Bloodlines, its Bloodline growth could not keep up with that of Yanhu and Heifeng.

Thunderclap Mantis: Level 23 Rank 8 Monster

HP: 150,000.

Attack: 2,500—2,700.

Defense: 1,100.

Skills: Thunder Slash, Poison Sting, Phantom

After recruiting three followers, the Thunderclap Mantis had finally frowned. He looked at the cooldown on Polymorph. The timing was just right.

The last time he polymorphed was last night around 8 p.m. So if he added the time he spent on the auction, the time he farmed on the fifth floor, his downtime to eat, and his time spent on recruiting followers, it was almost around twenty hours. He could polymorph again soon.

He put away all his followers and shape shifted into human form. He wore the Dark Shadow mask, and then took out and used a Town Portal Scroll to return to the Imperial Dragon City. He then headed towards the Teleportation Circle and used it to go to Luzhou City.

Luzhou City was also one of the thirty-six main cities. However, it was not as popular as the Imperial Dragon City. There weren't many players on the streets.

He looked at his map and quickly made his way to Lanruo Temple once he found it on his map.

...

Lanruo Temple was located at the foot of Mount Xiling. All the monsters here were Level 30 and of the spirit type. That meant ghosts and whatnot.

And that was why the area was dark and spooky. While it was still morning according to the game time, it was night here. The sky was pitch black, and a chilling wind would howl at times, causing him to become stressed.

Just when he was on his way, he passed by a graveyard. He looked at the tombstones in the graveyard and gulped. Just as he was making his way forward, white shadows appeared from the tombstones, scaring him.

"Oh, my god..."

Wraith: Level 30 Monster

HP: 150,000

Attack: 1,700—1,900

Defense: 800

"The way they designed the... The horror atmosphere is fairly good."

Looking at the wraiths that were floating in front of him, he made his way around the wraiths' aggro area and made his way to Lanruo Temple.

It didn't take him long to see a group of Ghost Wolves. They were ones that had a ghost's face imprinted on their forehead and were very strong.

They did not have any aggro radius and would attack anyone they see.

But he did not fight with the group of Ghost Wolves. He used the Invisibility skill of the Dark Shadow and passed through the Ghost Wolves' territory.

He climbed up towards Mount Xiling's peak for a little more while and finally saw an abandoned temple.

In front of the temple was a ruined stone market, and on it was written "Lanruo Temple."

In front of the Lanruo Temple under a great tree, Ning Caichen was tying a knot on a branch using a piece of white cloth, his face full of sorrow.

Just when he made his way there, he saw Ning Caichen had put his neck through the loop made from the white fabric, and kicked away the rock that he was standing on. Instantly, his body was hanging on the white fabric, his tongue sticking out as his hands struggled beside him.

"Damn it! I was only late for a minute. Do you have to commit suicide because of that?!"

Seeing what had happened, Jiang Feng cursed under his breath as he took a sword out from his inventory and slashed the fabric. The fabric was torn apart and Ning Caichen fell onto the ground.

"Cough... Why did you save me? I couldn't save Xiao Qian! Why don't you just let me die so I can become a ghost and accompany her..." Ning Caichen cried out as he coughed while holding his neck after he fell to the ground.

'Um... This is the first time I had heard of an NPC committing suicide because of love.'

Jiang Feng looked at the weeping Ning Caichen speechlessly, and then quickly comforted him, "Don't cry. Didn't you get the Red Sun Sword? Why didn't you manage to save Xiao Qian? Why don't you tell me what had happened?"

Chapter 78: Xiao Lan's Wiles

After he had questioned him, he finally discovered why Ning Caichen was going to commit suicide.

After Ning Caichen had gotten the Red Sun Sword, he then came back happily and gave it to the Taoist that was training at Lanruo Temple, Yan Chixia.

Yan Chiaxia swore that he would defeat Laolao, the Grandmother, and save Xiao Qian.

Unfortunately, not only did not save Xiao Qian, even Yan Chixia himself was captured. This had caused Ning Caichen, who had nothing left, to fall into despair. That was why he was seeking to end his life.

After listening to what had happened before this, Jiang Feng finally understood what was going on here.

The plot's main quest was to save Xiao Qian. Of course, if he was late, Ning Caichen would die and the entire quest would end in failure. Perhaps he would need to trigger the quest again, meaning that him forging the Red Sun Sword earlier would be a waste.

Luckily, he wasn't too late and was able to save Ning Caichen before he could kill himself and gave him hope and triggered the rest of the quest.

"Young warrior, since you are that powerful, you can save Xiao Qian, can't you?" Ning Caichen grabbed Jiang Feng's arm after speaking with him. He looked at him with hope burning in his eyes.

"Of course I will, but you have to tell me how strong is Laolao," Jiang Feng said to him with confidence.

With his followers and the plot quest being for those in the twenties and thirties, he believed that it shouldn't be too difficult for him. However, he still needed to know the strength of the boss of the plot quest.

"Laolao is very powerful. You are no match for her with your current strength. Also, we do not know where the Laolao has imprisoned Xiao Qian. So, we need to first save Yan Chixia, then ask him if he managed to find out where Xiao Qian is. Also, if we could save Yan Chixia, we should be able to defeat Laolao if the two of you fight her together!" Ning Caichen said to Jiang Feng.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on triggering the first stage of the Chinese Ghost Story plot quest, Saving Yan Chixia. Will you accept it?

"Accept!"

As one of the ten main plot quests within the game, the final rewards would undoubtedly be very good. How could he refuse?

After accepting the quest, he looked at his Quest Panel.

A Chinese Ghost Story, Saving Yan Chixia: One of the Ten Main Plot Quests.

Yan Chixia had promised to help Ning Caichen to save Xiao Qian, but he fell into the machinations of Laolao, the Grandmother. He is now trapped in a small house in the lake and is guarded by a group of evil spirits.

A small house in the lake? Evil Spirits?

"Looks like I have to start with the small house in the lake," He muttered as he looked at the quest's description.

"Young warrior, I had yet to repay you for helping me forge the Red Sun Sword. I have not rewarded you for that, and I am already in need of your aid again. This bottle of Dragon's Blood should be of value to you, and it's the only thing that I can give you right now."

As soon as he accepted the quest, Ning Caichen gave Jiang Feng a glass bottle the size of his thumb.

'Dragon's Blood?"

The moment that Jiang Feng heard the words Dragon's Blood, it overwhelmed him with excitement and he accepted the glass bottle with the Dragon's Blood from Ning Caichen.

White Dragon Blood: Immortal-Level Bloodline

Introduction: One month ago, a White Dragon fought with an Infernal General in the skies above Lanruo Temple and was severely injured. Its blood dropped from the skies and Ning Caichen had harvested five drops of the blood.

'Immortal-Level Bloodline? While it cannot be compared to a Divine Dragon's blood, it should allow my Dragon Bloodline and its purity to reach 100%. Then, I can evolve again!"

As he thought about it, he uncorked the glass bottle and drank a drop of blood without hesitation.

Next, he felt a burning sensation in his body, but it had quickly gone away just as quickly it had come

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations. Your Dragon Bloodline has reached 20%, purity has reached 20%.

'As I thought. Only with the five drops of Immortal-Level Dragon Blood could bring my bloodline and purity to 100%. If I'm correct, the rewards for the Plot Quests would always be something that the player that accepted the quest needs,' Jiang Feng thought to himself as he listened to the system's notification.

Jiang Feng then consumed all the White Dragon Blood so that his bloodline and purity would reach 100%. He then turned to Ning Caichen and said, "Brother Ning, wait here while I save Yan Chixia and ask him of Xiao Qian's whereabouts."

"Young warrior, please be careful!" Ning Caichen nodded and said to Jiang Feng, then headed towards the giant tree in front of Lanruo Temple. He then stood there and mumbled continuously, "Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian, where are you..."

Looking at Ning Caichen stuck in his own thoughts, he shook his head and headed into Lanruo temple.

When inside, his mind kept on thinking.

"A Chinese Ghost Story is a classical fantasy story, so my guess is that Laolao is not the final boss. The Ancient Fiend of the Black Mountains should be the last boss. I wonder if they would add other plot elements into this. If they did, then this would become much more complex."

As he walked, a shadow of white flashed in front of him.

He gave it a harder look and saw a beautiful woman dressed in white satin appear before him. She was laying on the ground woefully, and said to him in a pitiful tone, "Young sir, I have lost my way. It is so scary here, can you accompany me on my way home?"

Ding! System prompt: You have been Charmed by Xiao Lan. Duration of 10 minutes. The Charm status would be removed if attacked. Due to your special condition, the Charm effect's duration is 1 minute.

Hearing Xiao Lan's voice, Jiang Feng felt his head in a daze. He walked towards Xiao Lan, and said to her in a monotone voice, "Yes."

He walked next to Xiao Lan and helped her up carefully, then headed deeper into the Lanruo temple being helped by Xiao Lan.

Ding. System prompt: Charm status has expired!

After one minute, Jiang Feng's mind was cleared. However, he did not show it. Instead, he followed Xiao Lan stiffly and glanced at her.

Xiao Lan: Level 35 Female Ghost

Introduction: A female ghost nurtured by Laolao, the Grandmother, with the aim of charming men.

Hit Points: 180,000

Attacks: 1,400—1,600

Defense: 800

Skills: Charm, Drain Blood, Illusion

While Xiao Lan's stats weren't that high, she had plenty of skills. And all of them were high-level skills.

"As expected of Laolao's servant. This plot was quite similar to what had happened in a Chinese Ghost Story."

Looking at Xiao Lan swaying her hips, he gulped.

He felt a bit hot watching the scene in front of him as he was still a virgin.

It made him very surprised that he would have this kind of reaction inside the game. He thought to himself, 'Can I really do that kind of thing in the game? Looks like I might have a use for that. I wonder if I could use it on an NPC?'

He looked at Xiao Lan and wanted to try the Youth Stealing Technique[1] on her to see how much effect it had.

While he had a reaction towards a bunch of data, he only treated it as a purely biological reaction. It was the kind of feeling when you looked at that kind of video. He wouldn't fall for some data, just as he wouldn't fall for an adult video actress.

"If the Youth-Stealing Technique could really increase my stats, I should give it a try. Since this is just a game, she was a data, and I am a data too!"

The Youth-Stealing Technique was a Divine-level skill. His guess was that once the skill was triggered, his stats would increase greatly. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to try!

[1] It should be The Art of Yin Yang Union of Joy. The author used the term 'Youth-Stealing Technique' and The Art of Yin Yang Union of Joy interchangeably (probably because its full name is a mouthful).

Chapter 79: The Powerful Youth-Stealing Technique

'I'll do it!'

After giving it much thought, he had still decided to try the Art of Yin Yang Union of Joy.

Other than his biological needs, his other temptation was power.

The ghost Xiao Lan was also part of this plot, and her main goal was to lure him to the small house in the lake.

He followed behind Xiao Lan, and exited the Lanruo Temple and arrived at a lake.

The lake wasn't large, and it was settled in a gap at the foot of the mountains.

There was a huge Locust Tree, and on the branches of the Locust Tree was a small wooden house. When they said that it was a small house in the lake, they didn't mean it literally and that the house was at the center of the lake. What they meant was that it was on a Locust Tree by the lake.

Xiao Lan pulled his hand and jumped, landing on the tree branch. She waved her hand and the door to the small wooden house. She then pulled Jiang Feng in as she flew.

'Hm? Ghosts can fly? She didn't have this skill in her stats. Is this a passive skill?' Seeing that Xiao Lan could fly, he thought to himself with uncertainty.

At this time, Xiao Lan brought him into the wooden house.

As soon as he entered the wooden house, he was astonished. Before he came in, he saw that the wooden house was very small. At most, it would be 220 meters square wide[1]. However, when he entered, he saw that the wooden house was separated into two floors. He was on the second floor, and the first floor was under him.

There were many rooms on the second floor. Xiao Lan brought him into one of the rooms, and the room wasn't any smaller. In the middle was a swimming pool, and there were many rose petals floating on the water.

To the left of the pool was a giant bed, and to the right were many candles. It was particularly romantic because of the low lights.

Ten minutes had passed and he pretended to have awakened, then asked her suspiciously, "Young miss, where is this place? Why was I here all of a sudden?"

Xiao Lan then removed the thin satin on her and stood next to him naked. Her hands began to move up and down on him, and she said, "Young sir, you were the one that brought me home, have you forgotten?"

"Um... No, I did not," Jiang Feng looked at her body, and he felt hotness in his own body. He then pretended to smile dreadfully as he scanned her.

"Young sir, there is no one at home tonight. I am so scared, living here alone. Can you stay back and accompany me?" Xiao Lan whispered into Jiang Feng's ears.

Xiao Lan blew into his ear, and he felt his ear tingle, but his heart tingled even more.

"Damn it, while I'm good at my studies, I'm also a man! Who said a nerd can't do a ghost? Sh*t, I'm going to do it!"

As time went by, Jiang Feng used the Youth-Stealing Technique, and a voice from the system rang.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations. You have absorbed 20% of Xiao Lan's base stats, and you have received the Drain Blood and Illusion skills.

It was the first time that he had such feelings. While he does not know the difference it had between the game and reality, he had lost himself in the desire of the flesh. However, the system's voice had caused him to awaken.

What? 20% basic stats and two skills! He never thought that the Art of Yin-Yang Union of Joy would be that powerful!

Xiao Lan's HP was around 150,000, Attack was 1,400 – 1,600, and Defense at 800.

He had absorbed 20% of all her stats, which meant 30,000 HP, 280-320 Attack, and 160 Defense.

While his Attack and Defense didn't increase by much, but his HP had increased substantially He originally only had 36,000 HP, and he now had 66,000 HP. What made him excited the most was Xiao Lan's two skills.

Drain Blood: Active Skill. On activation, absorb 10% of the target's HP and heal yourself by that amount. Cooldown 30 seconds.

Illusion: Active skill. On activation, create an illusion to make the enemy lose themselves. Duration 5 minutes. Creating an illusion requires full concentration, or it will automatically be dismissed. It is less effective on targets with a strong will. Cooldown of 10 minutes.

'Two great and very practical skills. From the effects of the Art of Yin Yang Union of Joy, it seemed that having a relationship with someone low level would have limited effects. However, if I were to make out with someone mid-game or late-game, then the stats increase would be crazy!' Jiang Feng thought with a smile.

If he were to make out with a level 100 NPC, it would be possible for him to gain several million HP and hundreds of thousands in Attacks. That was just how powerful this skill was.

"What... what did you do to me?!"

Xiao Lan, who was in the bottom of Jiang Feng, felt her stats fell. She became angered and pushed him away, questioning him with blood-shot eyes.

"Nothing. I simply did what you wanted to do to me," Jiang Feng clothed himself with a smile as he brushed the edge of his lips.

"You..."

Xiao Lan pointed at Jiang Feng and then prepared to drain the blood and energy from him. However, what she didn't expect was that not only did she not absorb Jiang Feng's blood and energy, she herself kept on losing her own. Just as she wanted to ring her bells to summon Laolao, Jiang Feng already held the bells. She couldn't ring it. And that was how Jiang Feng executed his plans.[2]

"I'll kill you!" Xiao Lan quickly rang the bell on her ankle angrily.

Ring. Ring.

The bell rang. But Jiang Feng did not stop her and smiled as he looked at Xiao Lan ringing her bell.

Now that she had more power, he wished that Laolao would come. She would defeat Laolao and find out where Xiao Qian was. Perhaps he could skip a few side quests and directly attempt the main plot quest.

Whoosh.

After the bell rang, the window of the room suddenly opened. A giant, sticky tongue zoomed in and went towards Jiang Feng's mouth straight.

"You want to drain my spirit and blood? No way!"

Jiang Feng yelled out coldly and dismissed his polymorph, which had a few minutes left, and returned to his Rank 2 Wyrmling form. He took out his Dragonball and thrust it towards the tongue.

-1.

"Oh, shit!"

Looking at the damage he did to the tongue with the Dragonball, he was shaken up.

His current attack had reached 3,270. But he did not expect that he would only deal 1 point of damage. He couldn't accept it and quickly used Identify on the giant tongue.

Laolao: Level 50 Spiritual-Level Boss

HP: 800,000

Attack: 50,000—70,000

Defense: 30,000

Skills: Drain Blood, Drain Spirit, Shapeshift, Illusion, Summoning, Variable Spiritual Techniques

'Uh... A Spiritual-Level Boss! With such high stats and so many skills, how am I supposed to fight her?'

Jiang Feng was originally full of confidence but he instantly became speechless when he saw Laolao's stats.

[1] The author didn't give an exact measurement. Raw is "20 square." Square ft? Square yard? Meter square? I really want to strangle him at times. I assume that he's using 20 zhang square, which is around 220 meters square. That's almost half the size of a basketball court and I wouldn't exactly call it small if it's on a tree.

[2] Some kind of mistake in the raw. So is Jiang Feng still holding her bells, or did he not? Is there a missing paragraph here? Or maybe she has two sets of bells?

Chapter 80: Obtaining an Evolution Pill Again

He had seen some Spiritual-level skills and equipment. He had even seen those that were stronger. However, he had never seen a Spiritual-Level Boss.

Laolao was the first one.

The moment he saw Laolao's stats, he never thought that Spiritual-Level monsters could be this powerful.

Laolao's attack could instantly kill him with only one hit.

"No wonder Ning Caichen said that Laolao is very powerful. Looks like he wasn't joking at all! I better run!"

With that thought, he wasted no more time and quickly fled towards the exit of the wooden house.

At this time, Laolao's long tongue lashed at him swiftly.

"Blink!"

The moment that Laolao's tongue almost hit him, Jiang Feng quickly used Blink and teleported out of the window.

"You can't run!"

Xiao Lan was overwhelmed for quite some time after she saw Jiang Feng turn into a dragon. Only when she saw Jiang Feng running away did she come back to her senses.

After he jumped out of the window, tens of branches from the Locust Tree stretched towards him. He knew that the Locust Tree should be Laolao's true body. He knew that he couldn't let it entangle him, or he would die.

With that in mind, he used High-Speed Movement to zoom through the openings of the branches before they could catch him and dropped into the lake.

Splash!

Once he was in the water, he was like a fish in water, and he quickly swam into the depths of the lake using its dragon's body.

But what he didn't expect was that the roots of the Locust Tree would appear from the bed of the lake the moment he dropped into it, and they were heading towards him like the sea snakes.

"Damn it, why won't they give up!"

Jiang Feng cursed and summoned a normal Fire Ape from the Qiankun Gourd, and quickly used the Illusion skill that he had obtained from Xiao Lan to confuse her, so she would think that the Fire Ape was him.

As expected, after he used Illusion, Laolao thought the Fire Ape was him. She used the roots to quickly strangle the Fire Ape and brought it out of the lake.

Seeing that, he quickly swam near the Fire Ape and used the Float skill and floated near the Fire Ape, but just far enough so that he wouldn't touch the roots.

Very quickly, he followed the Fire Ape back to the wooden house. When he saw Xiao Lan leap into the water, he smiled and quickly headed back to the wooden house.

Squeak!

The moment he entered the wooden house, he saw Laolao's tongue shrink and enter the mouth of the Fire Ape. Instantly, the Fire Ape's blood had been completely drained, and it became a dried corpse, and she threw it into the lake.

Goodness!

Seeing that scene, Jiang Feng took in a heavy breath and thought to himself, 'Laolao was just a level 50 Spiritual-Level boss. But she's too powerful. Killing a Fire Ape with 100,000 plus HP with one skill. How terrifying!'

In order to not draw Laolao's attention, he quickly entered the wooden house and headed towards the first floor.

The second floor, which was where he had an encounter with Xiao Lan, had plenty of rooms but no monsters. That meant that Yan Chixia was most likely not imprisoned on the second floor, and he should be on the first floor.

When he entered the first floor, he then saw many green-skinned, hairless and terrifying female Evil Spirits.

Evil Spirit: Level 35 Monster

HP: 200,000

Attack: 1800-2000

Defense: 900

Skill: Drain Blood

The space on the first floor wasn't any smaller than the caves in the Cave of the Undead. About a hundred Evil Spirits were roaming on the first floor. In the middle of the room was a bloodied old man that was entangled by a dozen vines. Some of them even pierced through his body as they ensnared him to a stone pillar.

He didn't even have to think twice about who the old man was. That was Yan Chixia!

Yan Chixia: Level 50 Spiritual-Level NPC

HP: 145,223/700,000

Attack: 7,300 – 11,000 (Heavily Injured)

Defense: 4,234 (Heavily Injured)

Skill: Dao Dao Dao, Fire Lightning Technique, Sword Manipulation Technique, Big Dipper Seven Steps

'I never thought that Yan Chixia would be so heavily injured. It will be problematic to get him out.'

According to his understanding, once someone had been heavily injured, their stats would be reduced by around 70% to 90%. The exact stats that would be reduced depended on how heavily injured the person was.

'Regardless, I need to kill all the Evil Spirits and save him first.'

When he thought about this, he didn't hesitate and let Yanhu, Heifeng, all six of his followers as well as 149 normal monsters out of the Qiankun Gourd.

"Kill them all!"

With one command, all his followers headed towards the Evil Spirit.

"Tornado! Tiger Roar!"

He didn't stand there and watch, and instead used two skills with a large area-of-effect where there was a larger concentration of Evil Spirits.

In the next moment, almost thirty Evil Spirits were thrown into the air, and a beam of light went through their body. He then jumped up and hurled his Dragonball at the head of an Evil Spirit,

As all six of his followers were territory kings, their stats were higher than the Evil Spirits by a large margin. While those 149 followers were but normal monsters, but they had quite the HP. They were able to keep the Evil Spirits in check and deal some damage to them.

Within less than a minute, the Evil Spirits was being killed off.

"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"

Jiang Feng used Transmute Monster on an Evil Spirit that fell before him.

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster successful. Congratulations. You had received one Yin Pearl and one Level 35 Experience Pill!

Yin Pearl: Low Level

Introduction: If consumed by a spirit, it can be used to increase its power.

"Consumed by a spirit? I guess I'll save it then. I can give it to my spirit-type followers late," He mumbled to himself after he looked at the Yin Pearl's stat. He put it away and continued to attack the monsters.

Now that his Dragon Bloodline and Purity had reached 100%, he was looking forward to getting another Evolution Pill.

The moment he thought of that, he became even more motivated. Even his efficiency in killing monsters had increased somewhat.

After half an hour, he led his followers and had finally cleared up all the Evil Spirits. Only the Evil Spirit King was left.

He had also lost some followers when he was killing the normal Evil Spirits, of course. Out of his149 followers, 24 of them had been killed, leaving him with only 125.

Evil Spirit King: Level 40 Boss

HP: 400,000

Attack: 3,500—4,000

Defense: 1,500

Skill: Drain Blood, Illusion, Corrosive Aura

"I never thought that the power of this dungeon's monster would be so high despite being just the first one quest. Other players would have died a long time ago!" He said under his breath as he looked at the Evil Spirit King's stats, and his thoughts drifted to Xiao Lan and Laolao.

"Kill it!"

But in his current state, a Level 40 boss could not threaten him. That was because his six followers could easily pierce its defense, and adding the harassment from the 125 normal monsters, he could kill a Level 40 boss without breaking a sweat.

He had used less than ten minutes, and the Evil Spirit King let out a sorrowful howl before falling in front of him.

"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster successful. Congratulations. You have received one Yin Pearl, one piece of equipment, one Evolution Pill, and one Level 40 Experience Pill.

"Hm? I finally got an Evolution Pill!"

Looking at the golden pill with the alluring aroma resulting from the flames from transmuting the Evil Spirit King, Jiang Feng became excited.

"Boss, I love you!" Seeing that, Yanhu was the first one to come over.

"Boss, I love you more!" Houwang waved his tail and looked at Jiang Feng shyly.

"Boss, I..."

...

"I'm not going to give this Evolution Pill to any of you. This is mine. When I have more, I'll give them to you."

Looking at his six territory king followers flattering him shamelessly, Jiang Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He then threw the Evolution Pill into his mouth as Yanhu and his other followers watched and began to evolve.

Chapter 81: Rank 3 Wyrmling

As his followers increased, Jiang Feng didn't have enough Evolution Pills to distribute to everyone. Unless his luck was so good that he could transmute ten of them.

But that would be impossible. Since the beginning of the game, he hadn't even transmuted ten of them. Even if his luck was very high, it would not be possible for him to transmute ten Evolution Pills in one day.

That was why he had to focus on himself first, and when he drew a Matter Duplication Pill, maybe he would give one away.

He ate the Evolution pill, and his body had been enveloped by a flaming cocoon it brought with it a burning sensation.

Ding! System Prompt: Fire Resistance 10%.

The system's voice came and his fire resistance had increased. The pain had also substantially decreased.

As his flesh was being forged by the flames, it started to slowly change. He could hear the sounds of his skeleton elongating in his ears.

Ding! System Prompt: Evolution successful!

Ten minutes had passed and the fire cocoon burst opened, and his body was revealed.

As he had evolved into a Rank 3 Wyrmling, his body had grown. He was now around 5 to 6 meters long, his limbs were getting stronger, and if he were to fully extend himself on the ground, he would even be taller than a calf. His dragon scales were shimmering, and his dragon beards had grown to a meter long.

Roar!

A dragon's roar came from his mouth, and a majestic aura spread out. His followers bowed down before him, and his normal monster followers were all cowering.

"Boss, you're so cool!" Yanhu looked at Jiang Feng's new form and gulped.

Jiang Feng didn't react to Yanhu and instead took out the Experience Pills. He ate 50 of them.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching level 25. You've gained 3 free attribute points.

When he had reached level 25, he was once again back in the Level Leaderboard. He was now in the top 100. All he needed was to increase his level by one or two to be able to regain his number 1 spot.

The remaining Experience Pill could only increase his experience bar by 50%, and he didn't eat it after giving it some thought. He was going to save it to give him a boost when he needed to get to the next level after killing the monsters.

Once he had evolved, his stats had once again seen massive changes.

"Stats wise I should be fine now. No players are my match. But my opponents now aren't players, but the entire Divine and Infernal races. That's why I need to become even stronger!" Jiang Feng mumbled as he looked at his stats, then headed towards Yan Chixia.

Once he saved Yan Chixia, the first part of his quest would be completed.

There would be rewards after every part of the quest. He looked forward to seeing what kind of rewards he would get.

"Master, Ning Caichen had asked me to save you. Come with me."

Once he was in front of Yan Chixia, Jiang Feng spoke to him through his draconic mouth.

"Oh right, I forgot that I have shapeshifted into a dragon now. You won't understand what I'm saying," he smiled bitterly as soon as he had finished his sentence when he remembered something.

"I... I can understand you. But I'm heavily injured now, and I am too slow, it will be impossible for me to escape," To his surprise, Yan Chixia spoke suddenly.

"You know the Tongue of the Beasts?" Jiang Feng asked.

Yan Chixia nodded and said, "I have to deal with shifters, demons, ghosts and other beings. I learn a few words naturally."

"If you know the Tongue of the Beasts, that is best then," Jiang Feng said as he extended his dragon claw and gave a Large Recovery Pill for Yan Chixia to consume. Then, he used his claws to break all the branches and vines that were holding him. Next, he took out the Qiankun Gourd and said, "Master, you cannot move much. So don't resist later. I will take you into the Qiankun Gourd and get you out of here."

"The Qiankun Gourd, separated from Lianyao Flask, one of the ten Primordial Artifacts!" Yan Chixia looked at the Qiankun Gourd in his dragon claws in amazement.

"Correct!" Jiang Feng nodded.

"With the Qiankun Gourd, there is no doubt that I can leave this place. I am in your care!" Yan Chixia said as he scanned Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng nodded, uncorked the Qiankun Gourd and used the Absorb skill to take in all his followers and headed towards the outside of the wooden house for his escape.

There was no main door that led to the outside from the first floor. His original plan was to break a wall and escape from there, but he was worried that he would be discovered by Laolao. Helplessly, all he went back to the second floor and was attempting to use it to escape.

However, just when he appeared on the second floor, he then saw a dozen of beautiful female ghosts flying in from the outside. Some of them even brought players that had been bewitched. Those players had all been charmed by the female ghosts, to be drained of health and spirit by Laolao as offerings.

When they saw Jiang Feng, they were all stunned and stopped dead in their tracks and dared not to advance.

Obviously, Jiang Feng's draconic form had scared them.

To the highly intelligent NPC monsters, dragons were all-powerful beings. They could destroy them effortlessly.

"Do not let his appearance fool you! While he is a dragon, he is an amorous one, and is not that powerful!"

Suddenly, Xiao Lan appeared and stared at Jiang Feng viciously.

Hearing Xiao Lan's words, the beautiful ghosts were still hesitating.

Xiao Lan however, rang her bells and charged towards Jiang Feng.

Looking at Jiang Feng, he did not fight with her. He let out a Dragon Howl, dazing all the female ghosts in the area, and then escaped through the sky using his Float skill.

Xiao Lan had rung the bells, Laolao would appear soon. If he didn't escape, then he wouldn't have escaped at all.

Whoosh.

Just as he was in the sky, he turned back to look and saw Laolao's giant tongue had appeared. It thought that it was the ghosts that had captured the players that had rung the bell. The giant tongue separated into a dozen smaller tongues and headed towards the mouths of the players.

"Of shit, what kind of monster is this?!"

"Ah..."

At this time, the players who had just woken up in time were frightened by the tongues that appeared in front of them. Unfortunately, the speed of the tongues was so fast that before they could escape, the tongues had already entered their mouth and drained them of all their blood. They turned into white light and disappeared.

All instant kills!

"Shit! Laolao is simply too powerful, I have to get out of here!"

Seeing that, Jiang Feng was in complete shock. He dared not to stay any longer and quickly fly towards Lanruo Temple.

Chapter 82: Dao Dao Dao

When he was leaving from the small house in the lake, he saw many ghosts flying toward the house.

Some of them had even dragged a player.

'No wonder I had only seen Xiao Lan, all the other ghosts have gone to lure the players from the nearby monster territory. Looks like Laolao and the ghosts have very high intelligence and know to increase their power!' He thought to himself as he looked at the players that had been dragged over.

At the same time, it had caused him to raise his alertness. Laolao, the Grandmother, was not an easy foe to fight against. This plot quest was not as simple as he had previously thought as well.

"To be able to be named as one of the ten main plot quests in the game, the Chinese Ghost Story couldn't be completed that easily!" He shook his head with a bitter smile.

While on his way back to Lanruo Temple, he opened the official message board to check information on the temple.

Since so many players had been caught here and had been drained by Laolao, there definitely would be players that spread the news. And he could probably get some information from the news.

Very quickly, he was able to find some posts on Lanruo Temple from the official message board.

One of them called, "Do not level near Lanruo Temple, there are ghosts that drain your health and spirit!"

The post had a very high reply count, some of those that replied went through the same experience, while some came over to ask about it,

"OP is very right. I was completely blindsided by it. It said that there was a hidden quest just for me, so I followed her. When I reached the place, a tongue entered my mouth and instantly drained me of my HP. Damn, that was so disgusting."

"1. I was fooled and brought there too. Even though I died, I managed to get some close interaction with that female ghost. That ass though... If it wasn't because my level was too low, I would go and try that again!"

"One loser detected in the poster above!"

...

After checking several posts, he didn't find anything useful at all. So, he logged out of the official message board with disappointment.

"Looks like I need to depend on myself alone to complete this quest. Worse comes to worst, I'll do this quest when I'm at Level 40!" He said as he shook his head in disappointment when he couldn't find any information that could be used against Laolao.

He couldn't defeat a Level 50 Spiritual Level Boss at this point in time. He couldn't even breach through her defenses, how was he supposed to kill her?

He kept on thinking of ways to kill her, and he eventually reached the entrance of Lanruo Temple and found Ning Caichen under the giant tree.

"Young warrior, how was it? Did you save Yan Chixia?" Ning Caichen excitedly ran towards Jiang Feng and said to him after he saw his return.

"I did save him. Um... I'm not in my human form. How did you know it was me?" Jiang Feng replied to Ning Caichen, but quickly found a problem. He looked at Ning Caichen with surprise as he asked.

"Because I know that you are not human. I knew it since we are at the smithy," Ning Caichen replied with a smile.

"And you know the Tongue of the Beasts as well?" Jiang Feng asked again.

"Yes."

...

Seeing the relieved Ning Caichen, Jiang Feng thought to himself, 'Looks like anyone can accept one of the ten main plot quests. Even monsters can accept it. No matter who accepted it, Ning Caichen would have to undergo some changes depending if a human player or monster had accepted the quest so that it could continue."

He guessed that if a player accepted the quest, then the quest's difficulty would be lowered, and he wouldn't reward him with the White Dragon Blood.

It could be said that what Ning Caichen knew and learned depended on the player or monster that had accepted the quest.

After he understood that, he stopped caring how Ning Caichen knew the Tongue of the Beasts, and simply released Yan Chixia from the Qiankun Gourd.

"Yan Chixia!"

Seeing Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen went to his side full of worries, and said to him in a sad tone, "It is my fault. If it was not because of my request, you would not go and save Xiao Qian, and you would not have suffered such heavy wounds!"

"This had nothing to do with you," Yan Chixia said to Ning Caichen, then he turned to Jiang Feng. "Little dragon, I have two things to ask of you!"

"What is it?" Jiang Feng knew that it was the second part of the quest.

"First, you need to help me find pills that can heal my injuries. Secondly, go to the Lanruo Temple Dungeon, and find Abbot Lanruo's golden body that he left behind after he had passed," Yan Chixia said as his face paled.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations, you had completed the first part, Saving Yan Chixia, of "A Chinese Ghost Story" quest. You receive 150,000 experience points and one talisman.

Ding. System Prompt: You have triggered the second part of "A Chinese Ghost Story" quest, "Yan Chixia's Request." Will you accept?

"Accept!"

Talisman of Invulnerability: Spiritual Level Talisman. Becomes invincible for 1 minute after use.

"Oh my. The rewards for the first part of the quest were already so good. My experience bar had been filled by 30%, and I got my hands on a talisman that makes me invincible. I wonder what kind of reward they would give me when I clear the second part?" Jiang Feng said thrillingly as he looked at the stats for the Talisman of Invulnerability with his eyes brimming.

With that talisman, it meant that he had an extra life. He could use this one minute's worth of invincibility to kill enemies, or escape! How practical!

When he put away the Talisman of Invulnerability into his spatial bracelet, he suddenly saw the Life Prolonging Pill in there.

"He wanted me to help him find the pills to heal his wounds, but I don't even know where to start. But this Life Prolonging Pill should be able to heal his injuries since it can bring people back to life. Heavy injuries should be no problem."

With that, he took out the Life Prolonging Pill, and gave it to Yan Chixia and said, "Master, will this pill do?"

Since he had received the Talisman of Invulnerability, it meant that he had invincibility. He probably wouldn't get to use the Life Prolonging Pill any time soon. He should focus on the quests. Not to mention if he wanted more Life Prolonging Pill, he could always draw more.

"A Life Prolonging Pill!"

When they saw the pill that Jiang Feng took out, both Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen were astonished.

"Can this pill heal your wounds?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Yes... But you are willing to give this to me?" Yan Chixia asked as he gulped.

"Not really, but your wounds are my priority right now. As long as it's worth the use of the pill," Jiang Feng said.

"Good! Good! Good!" Yan Chixia said "good" three times excitedly, then looked at Jiang Feng cordially and said, "Not only will the pill heals my wounds, it would increase my power as well. Seeing that you are such a kind little dragon, I will teach you the ultimate technique that I had created myself, Dao Dao Dao!"

Ding! System Prompt: Yan Chixia would like to teach you the Spiritual Level Skill "Dao Dao Dao." Will you accept?

'Of course, I would. Only idiots won't.'

That was a Spiritual-Level Skill. While it wasn't as high as the Yin Yang Union of Joy, it should be quite powerful as well.

"Accept!" Jiang Feng said excitedly.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations. You have learned the Spiritual Level skill "Dao Dao Dao."

Chapter 83: Berserk Pill vs Double Stats Pill

The entrance of Lanruo Temple, under the giant tree!

After Yan Chixia taught Jiang Feng his skill, he then ate the Life Prolonging Pill and sat cross-legged under the tree to heal himself.

As Yan Chixia ate the pill, he began to emit a soft yellowish-green glow as his wounds began to heal.

Jiang Feng lay down on the ground next to them and looked at the new skill that he had just learned.

Dao Dao Dao: Spiritual-Level Skill

After activation, it requires the user to chant. As long as the chanting does not stop, the attack will continue. Each attack deals 150% base damage. When drunk, the damage is doubled. Each attack will deal splash damage, dealing 120% damage against enemies within 3 meters. Have your own BGM. Cooldown of 1 hour.

"Hot damn, this is a wonderful skill!"

Seeing this skill, he remembered the scene in the classical A Chinese Ghost Story where Ng Ma did his sword dance in front of Lanruo Temple, and he felt himself getting excited.

He remembered that in the movie, Ng Ma had spent one-minute chanting. So that meant that the skill should have a duration of 1 minute.

One minute's worth of 150% damage, and 300% damage when being drunk. It even dealt splash damage. It could be said that this skill was extremely OP.

"Whew~ No wonder it's a Spiritual Level skill, it's so powerful! It's worth the Life Prolonging Pill!" He took a deep breath and said with eyes beaming after looking at it for a while.

"Haha! As expected of the Life Prolonging Pill! My power has increased once more!"

Just as he was looking at the spiritual-level skill, Yan Chixia let out a burst of loud laughter. It looked like his wounds had been completely healed.

Driven by curiosity, he looked at Yan Chixia's stats.

Yan Chixia: Level 50 Spiritual Level NPC

HP: 900,000

Attack: 73,000—83,000

Defense: 42,340

Skills: Dao Dao Dao, Fire Lightning Technique, Sword Manipulation Technique, Big Dipper Seven Steps

"He's so strong!"

Now that Yan Chixia's Heavily Injured status had been removed, his original 70,000 HP maximum had been increased to 90,000. His Attack had also increased. Looks like the Life Prolong Pill had been beneficial for him.

"Master, now that you have become so powerful, you should be able to face Laolao, right?" He asked him as he looked at Yan Chixia's stats.

"I will be able to fight her body doubles, yes. However, fighting her true body would still be difficult. I will go and find a mystic treasure to weaken Laolao for the next two days. Find Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body. I will meet you here in two days, at this time!"

With that, the Red Sun Sword appeared in Yan Chixia's hand. He threw into the air, jumped, and flew through the night sky as he stepped on the Red Sun Sword.

"I should go and find Abbot Lanruo's golden body," Jiang Feng muttered to himself as he saw Yan Chixia left and headed into Lanruo Temple.

According to the description of the quest, Abbot Lanruo's golden body should be in the dungeon.

The dungeon was located behind the golden Buddha statue in Lanruo Temple's Mahavira Hall.

After he said his farewell to Ning Caichen, he came to the Mahavira Hall.

The Mahavira Hall was in serious disrepair. Its plaque was broken in half and on the ground. Half of the hall's walls had crumbled.

Luckily, the golden Buddha statue was not damaged and was still in the middle of the hall.

He went towards the back of the golden Buddha statue, and he found a passage down. He crept in with his claws clawing on the ground.

Whoosh.

As he entered the dungeon, the braziers had been lit up automatically and lightened up the entire dungeon.

He saw that the dungeon was filled with monsters, and they all gathered at the heart of the dungeon as if trying to protect something.

In the middle of the monsters was a prayer mat. On the prayer-mat were skeletal remains. The skeletal remains were gold in color and emitted a soft golden light.

He didn't have to think twice to know that the skeleton was Abbot Lanruo's golden body.

Violent Monk: Level 40 Normal Monster

HP: 250,000

Attack: 4,500—5,500

Defense: 2,300

Skill: Palm of Great Compassion

"Yanhu, Heifeng, Manwang, Houwang, Thunderclap Mantis, Haozi, come!" Jiang Feng slightly frowned as he looked at the two hundred Violent Monks and unleashed all his six underlings.

After he let them all out, he said to them, "The Thunderclap Mantis will lure one of them over. Kill them one by one, I will come to help you later!"

After giving them his orders, his six underlings then thrillingly went to fight against the Violent Monks.

Seeing that they had started fighting with a Violent Monk, he then brought up the Monster Transmutation System and started drawing from the lottery.

He didn't draw anything when he evolved last time. Facing so many high-level monsters, he hoped that he would be able to get something useful to increase his powers somewhat.

He started the lottery, and the indicator started to spin.

"Please give me something useful. This plot quest is too difficult. If my power doesn't increase, I could never finish the later parts," he started praying as the indicator started to spin.

"Um..."

Just as he was praying, the indicator had already stopped in the Special area. Next, a colorless treasure chest appeared in front of him.

"That fast?"

The lottery didn't even last 3 seconds. Normally, it would spin about a dozen seconds before stopping. He was getting suspicious.

He curiously opened the treasure box, and inside the box was a piece of paper. A line of words was written on it.

"You are rewarded with two special draws for the lottery."

"Um... damn, there's actually a "two more times" feature?" He got excited as he looked at the words on the paper.

He was only supposed to draw once, but now that he had the chance to draw twice, how could he not be excited?

"Hm?"

As he had two chances to spin for the lottery, he noticed that an extra button had appeared on the spinning wheel when he was going to have another go. The button had a "1" written on it.

He pushed it curiously, and the word changed from "1" to "2". When he pushed it again, the "2" became "1."

"Does that mean I can draw it twice? And whatever I draw will be doubled?" He looked at the button and thought to himself with uncertainty.

Whenever he evolved previously, he would spend that lottery draw immediately. He had never saved any of it.

His guess was that the button in the center of the spinning wheel had something to do with how many lottery spins he had left.

That meant that if he had two spins left, the wheel's button would have the double button appear. If he had three spins left, that meant that it was possible for the wheel to have a triple button.

'If I knew that the lottery had this feature, I would have saved all my lottery spins. After saving 7 or 8, it would be great if I manage to get the Matter Duplication Pill!' Jiang Feng regretted the fact that he had spent all his lottery chances after his evolution every time.

"Oh well, the past is in the past. Now that I have two more chances, hopefully, I can get two Matter Duplication Pills or something better!" He mumbled as he pressed the button on the spinning wheel and spun for a double.

The indicator spun, and this time it took longer for it to stop. It spent half a minute spinning until it finally stopped at Pills.

Next, a golden treasure chest and a diamond chest appeared in front of him.

"Hm? Did I get it wrong? The rewards I get from the double draw are different?"

Looking at the two chests of different colors, he opened both with curiosity.

The golden chest produced a red pill, while the diamond chest produced a silver pill.

He then curiously checked the stats of both pills.

Berserk Pill: After use, Defense becomes 0, and Attack doubles. Duration of 1 minute.

Double Stat Pill: After use, double the value of one stat!

"What powerful pills! If I used the Double Stat Pill on my attack, it would increase my attack to 7,000, If I used the Berserk Pill, my attack would be 14,000! This is OP!" Jiang Feng said excitedly as he looked at the two pills in front of him and gulped.

He did not hesitate and ate the Double Stat Pill.

His power was still too weak. The stats of a player with a complete set of White-Silver equipment would be similar to his. With his current stats, he could never restore the glory of the Shifters. He desired for higher stats and more power.

The appearance of the Double Stat Pill had solved his predicament.

He consumed the Double Stat Pill, and his stomach began to burn. The system's voice came to him after a short while.

Ding! System Prompt: Please choose the basic stat to double.

"Attack!"

Ding! System Prompt: Attack has been doubled.

He quickly checked his stats after the system had confirmed.

And he saw that his attack had really doubled. His original attack of 3,508 had become 7,016.

Looking at his attack in the seven thousand, Jiang Feng smiled. "Now this looks like the attack of a Rank 3 Wyrmling!"

Chapter 84: Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body

After he had consumed the Double Stats Pill, Jiang Feng's attack had doubled. He was thrilled.

In truth, if he were to use the Double Stats Pill at the later stages of the game, he would get more value out of it.

If he could arrive at the later stages. If he didn't even have the power in the early stages, how could he compete and get more power in the later stages?

That was why whenever he had something that could directly increase his power, he would use it right then and there. Only when he becomes powerful in the early game could he become powerful late game.

Not to mention that this game had just begun. He still had a long road ahead of him. Perhaps he would get something even stronger than the Double Stats Pill.

To make a long story short, why would he delay becoming stronger if he could become stronger immediately?

"I'll keep the Berserk Pill for now. I should save it for a critical timing or when fighting a boss," he muttered to himself as he looked at the Berserk Pill in his claws, and put it into the spatial bracelet.

After he was done with the lottery, he wasn't going to just stand idly by. He needed to quickly eliminate the Violent Monks that were blocking in front of Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body.

He came next to Yanhu and looked at the body of the Violent Monk, and used Transmute Monster.

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations. You have received one Torn Mantra Page and one Level 40 Experience Pills.

Torn Mantra Page: Gather a thousand Torn Mantra Page and it can be fused into a skill.

"Gather a thousand? If the skill needed so many Torn Mantra Pages, then the skill it gives shouldn't be too low," he mumbled as he beamed at the page of mantra in his claw.

He was originally just thinking of luring the Violent Monks away and taking Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body away, but he had decided to kill all the Violent Monks so he could collect those Torn Mantra Pages.

Roar!

He unleashed a dragon roar and jumped, then took out the Dragonball and smashed it onto the bald head of a Violent Monk.

-4,829.

The attack did almost 5,000 damage to the Violent Monks. But compared to the Violent Monks' HP, it was just a slither.

While his attacks had been increased, it still took effort for him to fight the Violent Monks.

The Violent Monks were Level 40 monsters, and their HP had reached 250,000. He was only Level 25. So, of course, it would be difficult for him.

...

While the Violent Monks were difficult to handle, Jiang Feng and his underlings managed to kill them one by one. After spending one entire morning, he finally killed the Violent Monks.

In that moment, only one Violent Monk remained next to Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body.

However, when he saw what the Violent Monk was doing, he became furious.

The Violent Monk chanted and his body became ethereal, fusing together with Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body.

"Damn it, that's mine!"

Seeing that, Jiang Feng launched the Dragonball furiously at the Violent Monk.

"Die, beast!"

The Violent Monk that had fused together with the Golden Body shouted chillingly and slapped the Dragonball to the side. Next, it launched itself into the air, extending its palm towards Jiang Feng's head.

"This monk had become so terrifying!"

Seeing that the Violent Monk had become so powerful after fusing with the Golden Body, he quickly used High-Speed Movement to dodge the attack.

-12,342.

To his surprise, he didn't dodge the attack despite his speed. The Violent Monk caught his tail, and he could feel the pain coming from his spine, and blood-red numbers floated out from his head.

"Damn it! Blink!"

Seeing that the Violent Monk was going to attack him again, he quickly used Blink to dodge out of the way of this attack. At the same time, he looked at the Violent Monk's stats.

Violent Monk: Level 40 Monster

Introduction: After fusing with Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body, its attack and defense had increased by threefold. It had also mastered two of the Abbot's skills when he was alive at random.

HP: 250,000

Attack: 13,500 ~16,000

Defence: 6,900

Skills: Palm of Great Compassion, Dragon Hands, Buddha's Light

"Damn, Abbot Lanruo's body is so useful! No wonder Yan Chixia wanted me to find Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body. If he fused with the Golden Body, his powers would be OP," he said with a frown as he looked at the Violent Monk that had its attack and defense increased by three times rushing towards him.

"Step aside, all of you. Leave it to me!" He said to his underlings and then took out the Berserk Pill and ate it without hesitation.

The next moment, his defense became 0 and his attack had doubled. His whole body was radiating red light, making him unnaturally striking.

His original 7,000 attacks had reached 14,000, similar to the Violent Monk.

"Let's see who's more powerful between the two of us! Requiem!" Jiang Feng said coldly and used his Requiem skill.

Ring. Ring.

The bell rang, and the Violent Monk that was going to attack him entered into a Daze status as it staggered.

Seeing that, Jiang Feng quickly rushed over and whacked the Violent Monk's bald head with the Dragonball in his left claw. He didn't let his right claw stay unoccupied and used it to grab at the Violent Monk's neck.

-16,324.

-8,324.

...

One critical damage and one normal attack had caused around 20,000 worth of damage.

"Dragon Howl!"

Seeing that the Violent Monk was going to wake up, he used his Dragon Howl skill and caused it to enter into another Daze.

His dragon claws were busy continuously attacking the Violent Monk, each attack producing a swathe of blood.

In less than ten seconds, the Violent Monk had already lost 100,000 worth of HP. One need not imagine how powerful Jiang Feng became after he had consumed the Berserk Pill.

"You insufferable beast, I will slay you!"

The Violent Monk screamed out after he had awakened, and he attacked Jiang Feng as his hands formed into the shape of a dragon's claw.

"Dragon Hands? Ha! I'm an actual dragon and you want to compare your hands to my real dragon claws? Die!"

Jiang Feng stretched his stout dragon claws towards it without fear and caught the Violent Monk's hands. Then he threw him into the air.

"Tornado!"

Whoosh.

A tornado appeared out of nowhere, trapping it inside.

"Tiger Roar!"

Roar...

There was the roar of a tiger. Even if he was a dragon, his mouth produced the phantom of a tiger. The phantom of the tiger unleashed a great roar and smashed into the Violent Monk.

-15,335.

10,000 plus damage floated out of the Violent Monk's head.

"Violent Grab! Bite!"

Two more skills and he had took out about 30,000 more HP.

When the effect of the Tornado was still there, he jumped towards the side of the Violent Monk, his dragon claws kept on attacking it.

"Buddha's..."

When the tornado disappeared, the Violent Monk fell unto the ground. It had around 30,000 HP left. The moment he fell on the ground, he quickly sat with his back straight, his legs crossed and his arms aimed upwards, preparing to use his ultimate skill.

"What's that about the Buddha? Illusion!"

He had checked the Violent Monk's skills. The Buddha's Light was a healing skill, and it's the type that was very OP. Once he had activated this skill, his HP would be completely restored.

He had saved his Illusion skill so he could interrupt the skill. Seeing that he was going to use Buddha's Light, he quickly activated Illusion.

After he had used the Illusion skill, the Violent Monk's brutality had disappeared. Instead, it kneeled in front of Jiang Feng and said, "Abbot, it wasn't my choice to have used your Golden Body. It was those beasts that wanted to steal it, I had to..."

Looking at the Violent Monk, Jiang Feng knew that he had treated him as the Abbot Lanruo because of the illusion.

He gave it a frosty smile, and said in a mild voice, "I won't judge you. But you can die now!"

With that, his dragon claw struck at the Violent Monk's head.

"You!"

The strike at the Violent Monk had awakened him to the deception. Unfortunately, before he could fully react, Jiang Feng continuously attacked it and depleted its HP.

After the Violent Monk was dead, the Golden Body fell from it.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations. You have reached level 26. You have gained 3 free attribute points.

He didn't expect that the Golden Body could still be dropped after being fused with!

He didn't care much for the system's announcement and quickly picked the Golden Body that was dropped.

Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body: Special Item.

Fuse with the Golden Body to triple attack and defense. Duration of 30 seconds. Once used, enter a weakened state and all stats decrease by 80%. Duration of 5 hours. Level -2.

"Haha, while the item's side effect was strong, but I like it!" Looking at Abbot Lanruo's stats, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh. "It was lucky that I got the Double Stats Pill and the Berserk Pill earlier. If not, I could never get Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body. Lanruo Abbot's Golden Body is an item that won't expire, so it's much better than the Double Stats Pill. This is all worth it!"

Chapter 85: Boss, I Can Warm Your Bed

After he had obtained the Golden Body and the two hundred Torn Mantra Pages, he left the dungeon with his loot.

He peeked at Ning Caichen who continued to walk under the giant tree by the entrance of Lanruo Temple. He then shook his head and left the temple.

After he had found a safe place, he then logged out.

...

In order to concentrate his efforts on the game, he then went to the university after he had his lunch to take a leave of absence from the university.

He was only taking a leave of absence, not withdrawing!

Taking leave for a year would be beneficial for him as well because there was possibly another chance for him to be able to study overseas as a transfer student next year.

Of course, it wasn't because it was better overseas. To Jiang Feng, he still loved Huaxia better.

The only reason that he wanted to grab the chance to study overseas was because of the prestige. He couldn't play the game forever, but he could carry the prestige with him forever.

If he couldn't keep up with the game, he could still survive by using this prestige.

After he had completed the procedure for his leave, it was almost around 4 or 5. He didn't go home but went to the slum's Talent Market that was located between the slum district and city district.

He went over to hire a housekeeper, then he wouldn't need to cook anymore.

The only reason that he didn't go to the talent market in the city district was because of the complex procedures that he had to go through. And that was on top of all the fees that he had to pay, and not to mention that some housekeepers were quite problematic.

However, it was quite simple to hire someone from the slum's Talent Market. As long as you find someone suitable, you could start working after you had signed a contract.

Also, most of the people that look for work here were quite poor. However, they were mostly quite hardworking and honest.

It didn't take him long, and he had arrived at the slum's talent market.

Once he had entered the talent market, many of those looking for work while holding their signs became spirited. But when they saw that he was wearing only normal clothing and was so young, they all became disappointed again.

They thought that Jiang Feng was probably there to look for work and would become their competitor. Because of that, many became antagonistic towards him.

Jiang Feng didn't worry about them and walked towards the area where they were hiring housekeepers.

Very quickly, he came to a simple room where many women were sitting in it.

Most of them were middle-aged women, and there were only a few women that were around his age and wore simple clothes.

"Why did we come looking for employees from a talent market that's so dirty? Why don't we go to the one in the city?"

"Oh, you didn't know about it. The housekeepers here are quite diligent and need lower pay, so it's much more cost-efficient."

...

Just as Jiang Feng was going into the room and choosing a housekeeper, two familiar voices came from behind.

He turned his head slowly, only to see Li Yi and Zhang Qian came in talking and laughing.

Li Yi and Zhang Qian had also seen him blocking the door

"Zhang Feng? Why are you here?" Zhang Qian asked with a frown.

"You still don't understand? I heard that he had just applied for leave from the university. I guess it was because he couldn't afford the school fees and is here to find a job," Li Yi explained to Zhang Qian, and then pointed at the sign and sneered at Jiang Feng, and said "Jiang Feng, and here I thought you're good in your studies. This is a place to hire housekeepers. Do you even know how to read this?"

"I do," Jiang Feng said plainly.

"If you could read it, then why are you still here? Don't tell me you want to be a housekeeper? Ha... Bro, stop pulling my leg. Who wants a male housekeeper?" Li Yi laughed loudly, "Alright, seeing that we're both peers from the same university, I'll introduce you to my dad. He is hiring some workers for his factory. If you go, I'll get him to offer you a high salary."

"Ha..." Zhang Qian laughed at Li Yi's jokes and looked at Jiang Feng as if she was in a position of authority.

'Goodness. Are these two here to act in a comedy skit? I don't want to use the same old schemes on you two, but can you at least get something new for the skit?' Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at Li Yi and didn't concern himself with them.

He then walked towards a gentlewoman in her twenties and asked, "Are you here looking for a job in housekeeping?"

"Huh?" The woman raised her head and looked at Jiang Feng, then nodded at her shyly.

"What is your name?" Jiang Feng asked.

"My name is Su Qing," the woman replied.

"What can you do?"

"Laundry, cook, cleaning and farming," Su Qing answered him honestly.

"I have a housekeeper job here. Probation is 5,000 a month. Are you okay with that?" Jiang Feng was quite happy with Su Qing and offered her the job.

5,000 just for a month of probation?

The middle-aged women in the room were no longer steady, and all of them instantly surrounded Jiang Feng.

"Boss, I know everything. I can even warm your bed. You only have to pay me 4,000 for the probation."

"Boss, I have 10 years of experience as a housekeeper. I know everything. You just have to pay me 3500."

"Boss, pick me, I know how to cook the cuisines from all the states..."

...

Jiang Feng could only laugh in his mind when he heard the words from the middle-aged women. Especially the first one. She could even warm his bed for him. But when he looked at her facial features all coming together, he could only feel chills in his heart.

Seeing so many elders fighting for her job, her face turned completely red.

Perhaps because it was her first time looking for work outside of the countryside, and her being introverted, she didn't even know how to fight back.

But if she lost this job, she would have no more money in a few days.

As her situation crossed her mind, she braced herself, gritting her teeth and raised her head and said to Jiang Feng with a blush as she pulled at her yellowish skirt, "Boss, I... I don't need any salary during the probation. All I need is a place to live and meals!"

Hearing Su Qing, the women all rolled their eyes at her, left and searched for seats to sit.

If Su Qing didn't even want to get paid, how are they going to compete with her? Only idiots were willing to find jobs without pay.

"Ahahaha! This must be the funniest joke I had seen this year! Someone that couldn't even afford to go to school had the money to hire a housekeeper? This is so funny!" Li Yi was originally furious when Jiang Feng ignored him. However, when he heard the conversation between him and Su Qing, he found it so funny that he couldn't stop laughing.

After he was done, he didn't concern himself with Jiang Feng and walked towards Su Qing, "Let me tell you something. He didn't have any money to give you. I'm also looking for a housekeeper. 3,000 during probation. If you're alright with that, follow me after signing the contract."

Su Qing looked at Li Yi, then looked at Jiang Feng. She then shook her head to Jiang Feng and said, "I'm sorry, but I've promised him. Even if he couldn't pay me, I did say that all he needed to do is to provide food for me. If he couldn't pay me after the probation, only then will I look for a job!"

Hm?

Interesting!

Jiang Feng didn't even get angry because of Li Yi. Instead, he was delighted by Su Qing's words.

He never thought that Su Qing would be so honest and so principled. And he became even more pleased with her.

Seeing that he had been rejected and saw Jiang Feng's smile at him, he couldn't maintain his smile any longer. He then said, "5,000 for probation, 7,000 when confirmed!"

"Sigh. You don't have to!"

Jiang Feng then took out a stack of money and placed it on top of a nearby table and said to Su Qing, "No probation. Ten thousand a month. This is your wages for the first month. If you are willing, follow me. If you're not, then whoever wants the money, take it!"

With that, he turned and left the room.

Su Qing looked at Jiang Feng's back, then looked at the green eyes of the middle-aged women and the frenzied Li Yi. She quickly took the money and left with Jiang Feng.

The money was for Jiang Feng's living expenses that he had withdrawn when he was in the city. He didn't want to take the money out to humiliate Li Yi, but he wanted to return home and play the game. He really didn't want to spend any more time arguing with him. So, he paid Su Qing one month immediately.

Smack!

"Damn it, where did he get that much money from!" Watching Jiang Feng and Su Qing left, Li Yi roared angrily.

Zhang Qian looked at the furious Li Yi, then looked at Jiang Feng when he left. She was very doubtful too. His family was so poor, from where did he get that 10,000?

Just as Li Yi was still raging, the middle-aged woman with all her facial features coming together approached him with a smile.

"Boss, I know everything. I can even warm your bed. You..."

"Scram!"

Li Yi looked at the middle-aged woman, and he was so infuriated that it almost drove him up the wall. He screamed out a single word and left.

Chapter 86: Recruiting the Dragon Girl

After Jiang Feng had left the talent market, he then brought Su Qing back to his place by calling a taxi.

Once he was home, he took a pen and paper and wrote a simple contract with his tidy and elegant handwriting. Then, both of them signed it.

After he had explained to Su Qing about a few things, he then had dinner after Su Qing had left. He entered the game afterward.

...

Once in the game, he once again logged in and appeared near Lanruo Temple.

"There are still two more days until I need to meet up with Yan Chixia. Let's see if I can find some treasures or Donghuang Bell fragments using the Divine Fate Compass and increase the powers of Yanhu and the others!"

With that thought in mind, he took out the Divine Fate Compass to begin the treasure hunt.

Whoosh.

Shen Luo appeared on the Divine Fate Compass, and said to him, "Master, you have three chances of finding treasures. Please tell me the kind of treasures that you seek!"

Jiang Feng then said, "Random!"

Shen Luo replied, "Finding treasure, please wait..."

With that, Shen Luo closed her eyes. The ancient letters and runes on the Divine Fate Compass floated, turned into white light, and scattered in all directions.

After several dozen seconds, Shen Luo opened her eyes and said, "South of Luzhou City, under the White Dragon Pond!"

'Hm? White Dragon Pond? The owner of the White Dragon Blood that I had?' He thought to himself curiously as he looked at the information that Shen Luo gave him.

"If that was the White Dragon that Ning Caichen said, then maybe I can get some more White Dragon Blood. I should go take a look." He mumbled to himself, opened the map, used the Float skill, flew into the air, and headed towards the south of Luzhou City.

...

The White Dragon Pond was located in a mountain range to the south of Luzhou City. It was the territory of the Level 50 White Drakes.

He arrived at the White Drake Pond in less than ten minutes because he flew.

Looking at the White Drakes wandering around the area, he ignored them and avoided their aggro radius, then headed towards the White Dragon Pond.

He was there looking for treasure, not to kill monsters.

Not to mention that the monsters here were all level 50 with very high stats. If he was surrounded by the monsters, then his death would be guaranteed.

The White Dragon Pond wasn't very big. It was elliptical in shape and was about ten plus meters wide.

The water of the pond was very clear, but he couldn't see the bed of the pond.

"Hopefully, I won't see that White Dragon down there, or I will die."

Splash.

With that, he jumped into the White Dragon pond.

Maybe the White Dragon Pond really had a White Dragon, and the entire White Dragon Pond was within the White Dragon's territory as there were no other monsters there. He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly swam into its deepest depths.

The White Dragon Pond was very deep. He swam for almost half an hour before reaching the bed of the pond.

It was quite wide, and there was a giant cave on the face of the underwater cliff. Bubbles keep coming out from the cave.

"Huh?"

At this moment, he finally found something near the mouth of the cave. They were scales about the size of a human palm. He picked up the scales out of curiosity.

White Dragon Scale: Unique smithing materials.

"So Dragon Scales can be used for smithing. I better keep these." Looking at the three white scales in his claw, he put them away, saving them when he needed to forge equipment.

After putting the White Dragon Scales away, he hesitated as he looked at the cave.

He didn't see any treasures around here. That meant that either the coordinates were wrong, or the treasure was in the cave in front of him.

But if he entered the cave without preparation, he would be instantly killed in one hit if the White Dragon was inside. Then, he wouldn't get any treasure and he would lose his life as well.

"Fine, so what if I died? It's not that I didn't die before!" He still entered the cave after giving it a long thought.

The cave was wide and bright. Glowing Fluorspars dotted the walls of the cave, lighting up the cave brightly.

"This..."

When he was watching the cave, his attention was shifted to a stone bed. On that stone bed was an unclothed woman.

She had a pair of horns, a heart-shaped face, elegant facial features, and was incredibly beautiful in general. In terms of beauty, she was at par with all the women he had seen.

Xiao Longnu: Level 50 Immortal-Level Monster (Cursed)

Introduction: Transformed from a White Dragon. She was heavily injured by an Infernal General from the Infernal race and had been cursed. Her power had decreased by 10 fold.

HP: 150,000

Attack: 2,500 —3,700

Defense: 1,000

Skills: Dragon Howl, Water Pillar, Ice Arrow, Water Dragon Crash, Water Manipulation, Tidal Wave

"She was cursed?" Jiang Feng was shocked after seeing that her stats were so low. Only then did he notice that in between her chest was a Black Marking. The Black Marking was emitting black air.

"Cough... Who are you? From which tribe?"

Xiao Longnu noticed Jiang Feng's presence and slowly opened her eyes. She coughed and waved her hands to make the surrounding water to form a wrap to envelop her body. She looked at him cautiously.

An Immortal Level Dragon and cursed. If he could recruit her and help her remove the curse, not only would he receive a powerful follower, he could even use the Yin Yang Union of Joy together with her to build up both their power!

He then said, "I am from the Earthcover Dragon tribe, you can call me Feng!"

He had consumed four drops of Earthcover Dragon's divine dragon blood, so the Earthcover Dragon's bloodline was the thickest. That was why he said he was from the Earthcover Dragon.

"A Divine Dragon from the Earthcover Dragon tribe! Why are you here?" Xiao Longnu's alertness had fallen, as Dragons were friendly to all other dragons other than the Demon Dragons.

"I was passing by when I heard that a White Dragon and an Infernal General had fought in the skies above this land about a month ago. The White Dragon had been injured, so I sought you out. The reason I came here was to check your injuries and to scout where the Infernal General is hiding, and to destroy him. How dare he injure one of our own! I will make him pay this debt in blood." Jiang Feng said with righteous fury.

"I have injured that Infernal General. He must be hiding somewhere to recover," Xiao Longnu said angrily.

"How do I break the curse on you?" Jiang Feng asked.

Xiao Longnu shook her head and said, "It will be difficult. I will need at least 10 drops of Divine Dragon Blood to be able to break it!"

"Is my blood usable?" Jiang Feng asked.

"No, we will need a dragon that has reached adulthood. A wyrmling's blood is useless," Xiao Longnu shook her head and said.

"Alright, but don't worry. I will find a way to break your curse," Jiang Feng said. "But why don't you come with me for the time being? It is dangerous here. If I can find you, the Infernals can find you too."

Xiao Longnu looked at Jiang Feng, gave it some thought, and then nodded and said, "Alright, once I have restored my power, I will repay your kindness."

While highly intelligent monsters were indeed intelligent, they were quite innocent in nature. They do not know how to scheme unless it's the NPCs or monsters that were very important to the plot of the game. They would be even more intelligent and be capable of making complex plots.

After recruiting Xiao Longnu successfully, he then put her away into the Qiankun Gourd and was preparing to leave.

Hm?

Just as he was going to leave the cave, a piece of mirror lodged on the rock of the cave caught his attention.

He went over curiously and took the piece of the mirror into his hand.

Kunlun Mirror: Fragments of the Ten Primordial Artifacts

Stats: None

"Haha! I didn't expect that it would be a piece of the Ten Primordial Artifacts! This must be the treasure that the Divine Fate Compass had found."

Jiang Feng smiled excitingly as he looked at the mirror in his hand.

He had never thought after using the Divine Fate Compass, he could recruit Xiao Longnu and get another piece of a Primordial Artifact.

He finally knew why Ya Di had asked him to choose the Divine Fate Compass. It was like possessing a treasure that kept on giving endless treasures.

Chapter 87: Canaan Guild Base Completed

Luzhou City, Valley of the Hundred Flowers, Level 30 monster territory.

There were hundreds of species of plants and flowers, as well as two types of Level 30 monsters.

They were the Hundred-Flower Butterflies and Golden-Poison Bees.

And amongst the flowers in the Valley of the Hundred Flowers, Jiang Feng, Yanhu, and his other six followers were fighting a Hundred-Flower Butterfly King.

"Haha, it's so beautiful here! Stop bullying that Hundred-Flower Butterfly King and come play with me."

Xiao Longnu did not join the battle, but she was running in the hundreds of flowers within the Valley of the Hundred Flowers.

She was wearing a blue dress, her long black hair waved in the air. She looked especially beautiful under the rays of sunlight.

"Argh..."

Seeing Xiao Longnu's beauty and joyful smile, Jiang Feng momentarily lost focus and was smacked away by the Hundred-Flowers Butterfly King's huge wings, and fell next to Xiao Longnu.

Xiao Longnu looked at Jiang Feng who fell on the ground, she walked towards him worriedly and said, "Feng, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Jiang Feng said with a smile.

You're bleeding! Damn that Hundred-Flower Butterfly King, I will kill it!"

Seeing Jiang Feng being wounded, she was angered and returned to her form as a White Dragon. She flew next to the Hundred-Flower Butterfly King, attacking and using her skills continuously. The Hundred-Flower Butterfly King was killed very quickly.

Seeing the angered Xiao Longnu's fight from the sideline, Yanhu could only gulp and said in fear, "She's gone crazy again. My god, she is terrifying."

Heifeng nodded in agreement. "That's right. Ever since the boss blocked an attack coming for her, she had been treating the boss very well. Could it be that she fell in love with the boss?"

The moment that the Brutish Gorilla King Manwang heard that from Heifeng, he felt a sudden chill and smacked away the Fire Ape King that was sitting on him.

"Why the hell did you do that, you gorilla?" The Fire Ape King that was smacked away made his way back and yelled at Manwang angrily.

Manwang said in an innocent tone, "I helped you block an attack yesterday too, and you sit on my every day. Did you fall in love with me? You can't fall in love with me, you're too small, I'm afraid..."

When the Fire Ape King saw Manwang acting shy and reluctant, he was instantly pushed over the edge and roared, "We're both males! Have you looked under your fur? What do you mean I have fallen in love with you... Augh, are you trying to give me a heart attack by infuriating me so you can inherit my Evolution Pill?"

"Haha, not bad! This joke from Houwang is so good, I can laugh for a year," When Yanhu, Haozi, Heifeng and the Thunderclap Mantis heard that from the Fire Ape King, they couldn't help but laugh as they rolled on the ground.

...

"It would be nice if this world is reality!"

Seeing that his six followers were having fun and Xiao Longnu was fighting for him, he had finally let out a smile of happiness.

Yesterday, after he had recruited Xiao Longnu, he had used the Divine Fate Compass to once again find more treasures. However, he didn't expect to find a Level 50 Boss.

Xiao Longnu was almost killed. At that time, he helped Xiao Longnu blocked an attack. Afterward, Xiao Longnu was no longer distrustful of him. Instead, she would risk her life fighting against anyone that dared to threaten him.

He wasn't sure what was going on, but his guess was that this had something to do with Xiao Longnu being a monster.

While she was a monster in the game and had intelligence, everything she did was very straightforward. Just like when she had just been recruited, Xiao Longnu promised that she would repay him once the curse on her was removed.

After saving her, Xiao Longnu had also tried to repay him. But it was the method that she tried to repay him he found awkward.

"What a cute Xiao Longnu," He smiled as he looked at the sweet smile she had after she had slain the Hundred-Flower Butterfly King.

"And yet you are smiling. Let me tell you this. You can't die. You had promised me to remove the curse on me," Xiao Longnu grumbled and rolled her eyes when she saw Jiang Feng was smiling at her.

"Don't worry, I won't die. None of you will die!"

With that, he walked to the side of the Hundred-Flower Butterfly King's corpse and used Transmute Monster on it.

Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster successful. Congratulations, you have gained one pair of Butterfly Wings, one piece of Equipment, one Level 35 Experience Pills, and one Evolution Pill.

"Hm? I transmuted an Evolution Pill!"

Looking at the items in the flame, Jiang Feng took them out one by one.

Hundred-Flower Butterfly Wings: Could be used to make clothes.

Hundred-Flower Skirt: Yellow-Gold Equipment

HP Maximum 3,000

Defence 1,000

10% chance of nullifying any one attack.

10% chance of nullifying any one status effect.

Active Skill: Rain of Petals. Flower petals began to rain from the sky, and each petal would deal 100 points of fixed damage. Duration 10 seconds.

Prerequisite: Level 35 Female

"What a beautiful dress!" Xiao Longnu looked at the Hundred-Flower Dress.

"What a beautiful Evolution Pill!" Yanhu, Houwang, and the others came to him.

Jiang Feng looked at the Hundred-Flower Dress, then gave it to Xiao Longnu, "Take it if you like it."

"Thank you, Feng," Xiao Longnu happily took the dress from him. She spun around, and she then wore the Hundred-Flower Dress.

The Hundred-Flower Dress had the fragrance of flowers on it and emit a soft prismatic light. It made her extremely striking to the point that even Yanhu and the others looked at her in amazement.

After several seconds, Yanhu and the others then turned their attention away and looked at the Evolution Pill passionately.

"I will save this Evolution Pill. We will wait until your Bloodline has been maxed out."

Jiang Feng put the Evolution Pill away despite feeling the burning excitement from Yanhu and the others.

He had been increasing the powers of his followers since yesterday. Now, all their levels had reached level 30. Even Yanhu, Heifeng, and the Thunderclap Mantis who were previously at low levels had their levels increased thanks to the Experience Pills. However, as their Bloodlines were not maxed out, using the Evolution Pill would not have the maximized increase to their stats.

As for himself, he had already reached level 27, and once again climbed up the Level Leaderboard and became the number 1.

"Boss, you promised us, alright," Yanhu said to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at Yanhu and said, "Since when have I ever lied to you?"

"You had been lying to us ever since we had followed you..." And Yanhu sprinted away as soon as he finished the sentence, afraid that Jiang Feng's dragon claw would find its way to him.

Jiang Feng stared at Yanhu, then looked at the time. He then said to everyone, "Today is Saturday, and it's only around 6. In two or three hours' time, let's go kill some Barbaric Giants!"

The Barbaric Giant Event would recur on every Saturday. He wanted to get some more Pet Eggs and Pet Skill Books.

Because of his classes last week and him having to work on the plot quest, he didn't send much to the Imperial Dragon Auction House. So yesterday, the Auction House didn't have much profit at all.

If he couldn't get something new for the Imperial Dragon Auction House, it wouldn't take long until it closed down.

Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations to Canaan Guild for the Guild Base's Completion. The monsters will begin the Monster Siege at 12 p.m. today. There will be three waves of monsters attacking the base. Other forces may join the attack. The number of monsters and players that may join the siege is capped at 100,000. We wish the Canaan Guild a successful defense!

"So, Canaan Guild has finished building their base? It's time to get some experience points and honor points," Jiang Feng smiled as he heard the server announcement.

Chapter 88: Myth Group Guild Base Completed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once the Guild Base had completed and was successfully defended, it also meant that the game had progressed on the right track.

"It would start at 12. I should log out, get some food and farm the Barbaric Giants. Then I can go to the siege!" Jiang Feng mumbled to himself as he looked at the server announcement that was floating in the sky. He then put away Xiao Longnu, Yanhu, and the others and logged out.

"Hm?"

After he logged out, he was surprised to find that his messy room had already been cleaned up.

Seeing that, he smiled and said to himself, "Su Qing must have cleaned this place up."

He wore a jacket and walked out of the room, only to see that the entire house had been cleaned properly. Su Qing was wearing an apron and washing the vegetables in the kitchen.

"You came so early? Have you moved everything in? Where did all the vegetables come from?" He asked Su Qing curiously as he looked at her with a basket of vegetables in the kitchen.

When she saw Jiang Feng, she embarrassingly replied, "I've been here since around 4 o'clock. I saw that there weren't any vegetables yesterday, so I bought some when I was on my way here. You must be hungry, Mr. Jiang, I'll make breakfast for you!"

"Alright, just make something light. Pass me your bank details and I'll transfer some money to you. Help me withdraw them when you have the time," After explaining to her what he needed her to do, she then sat on the sofa and took out his mobile, and used a shopping app.

He was going to buy some furniture and appliances for his home, and a computer as well.

After he had spent an hour browsing the online shops and spent around 50,000, he had finally bought all the furniture and appliances that he needed.

By this time, Su Qing had also finished cooking and his father had woken up.

Jiang Feng and his father were quite happy with Su Qing's cooking. After breakfast, he then entered the game.

...

Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations to Myth Group for the Guild Base's Completion. The monsters will begin the Monster Siege at 12 pm today. There will be three waves of monsters attacking the base. Other forces may join the attack. The number of monsters and players that may join the siege is capped at 100,000. We wish Myth Group a successful defense!

As soon as he entered the game, he was shocked when he heard the server announcement.

"Myth Group had completed its Guild Base as well?" Jiang Feng said with a frown, and then stopped the frown as he looked back. "No wonder Shen Ye would give up on the auction for the Guild Building Order. I guess he must have already obtained a Guild Building Order back then."

Jiang Feng originally thought that Shen Ye didn't want to spend any extra money, but also didn't want Canaan Guild to build that base. That was why he had given up with the bid during the auction and he would make a move against Canaan Guild later. However, it looked like he got it all wrong.

Now that he looked back, when Shen Ye and Baixia were communicating during the auction, Baixia must have told Shen Ye that they thair hands on a Guild Building Order. That was the actual reason that Shen Ye had given up during the auction.

Then, he had built his Guild Base at the same time with Canaan Guild letting no one know and preparing to face a Monster Siege at the same time as Canaan Guild.

"This is going to be good," Jiang Feng said with a smirk.

Next, he then opened and browsed the official message board.

The two guilds had completed their bases and the Monster Siege would begin at 12. Some players must have already shared where the bases were.

There were many benefits for him to join a Monster Siege. He would definitely join.

But before that, he had to find out where the two guilds were. After he had farmed the Barbaric Giants, he could then directly head to one of them.

He found the location of the two guilds very quickly.

Canaan Guild had built their base on an island filled with Level 40 monsters in the ocean near Nanhai City. Myth group had built their base deep within the Twilight Forest near the Imperial Dragon City.

Some players had even posted pictures of the bases of the two guilds.

The island that Canaan Guild chose was very beautiful. Players needed to spend gold to ferry themselves over. He even saw a picture of Canaan, Mu Xi, and Nangong Tiaotiao standing on the wall.

Myth Group had built their base in a basin deep within the Twilight Forest. There was only one entrance into the basin and was otherwise surrounded by steep cliffs from all three sides. It could be said to be a place that would be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Hm? He's in Myth Group!"

Suddenly, he saw a familiar person from one of the pictures. After enlarging it, he realized that the Inheritor of the Divines, Qiu Si, and Shen Ye were standing together on a wall discussing something. He was taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled coldly.

"Now I know where Myth Group's Guild Building Order came from. Qiu Si must have provided it," Jiang Feng said. "But so what if they had the Guild Building Order? Fine, I'm not going to Canaan Guild this time. I should focus my effort on destroying the Myth Group. If it's a guild being led by the Inheritor of the Divines, then I couldn't let him build it successfully!"

As he thought of that, he then let Xiao Longnu out of the Qiankun Gourd.

He then entered the Qiankun Gourd and let Xiao Longnu bring them all into Luzhou City.

All Immortal-level monsters and stronger had the Polymorph skill, and unlike his which had a limitation in the form of a timer, they could use theirs for as long as they like.

He didn't want to waste his use of the Polymorph skill, so he had let Xiao Longnu pretend to be a player to use the Teleportation Circle to send him to the Imperial Dragon City and help him buy some wine.

Xiao Longnu covered her dragon horns, then took the gold pieces that Jiang Feng gave her and headed towards Luzhou City.

They arrived at the Imperial Dragon City without incident. She had also bought the wine.

"I've used Dao Dao Dao a few times, but I had never used it when I was drunk. I wonder how powerful Dao Dao Dao would get when I'm drunk, so let's test it on Myth Group's members!"

After they exited the Imperial Dragon City, Jiang Feng then came out from the Qiankun Gourd and took Xiao Longnu back in and headed towards the Twilight Forest.

The Barbaric Giants hadn't spawn yet, so he wanted to go find a place that would make it easy to form the Barbaric Giants nearby.

...

Bang!

Inside Lingyun Pavillion's shop at the Imperial Dragon City, Ling Yun angrily roared, "Why didn't we get even one Guild Building Order after farming so many bosses! And now the first and the second Guild Building Order have both been snatched. You are all useless!"

"Leader, don't get angry. If they can't defend their bases, they still wouldn't be able to call themselves the number 1 and 2 guilds in the game!" Chen Mo said.

"That's right. Let's gather two groups and attack the two guilds when the Monster Siege began. All we needed to do was to destroy the two Guild Building Orders then," Ba Ge said in agreement.

Ling Yun then lowered his head and gave it a thought and said, "Have the high-level and high-stat members gather around the Twilight Forest. Canaan Guild doesn't have many members, so just sending around 10,000 players over will do. Our priority is to stop Myth Group!"

...

Tianxia Gang's Hao Tian said to the few high-level members in his guild with a frown, "Forget about Myth Group. You all know about my bet with Canaan. Gather all our members from the guild and head towards Nanhai City!"

...

Xingyu Guild's leader Su Xingyu said in a mild tone to those standing around, "Let us go have some fun!"

Many guilds were ready to join Canaan Guild's and Myth Group's sieges. A great war would begin soon!

Chapter 89: The Siege (Part 1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Twilight Valley was located deep within the Twilight Forest.

This was a Level 40 monster territory, surrounded by cliffs from three sides, and had plenty of resources such as ore and wood.

This was definitely an exceptional place to build a base.

And it was here that the Myth Group had built their Guild Base.

Jiang Feng stood on top of a mountain peak and looked at Myth Group's Guild Base.

"The wall is quite thick, and its maximum HP had even reached 1,000,000,000. It will be very difficult to take it down!" He said with a frown as he looked at all the priests within the base healing the wall. The wall's HP gauge was slowly filling up, and it had already reached halfway to the maximum.

When a base was built, the wall's maximum HP could be increased by using either good materials to build it or by making it thicker.

While the wall has a fixed defense at 1,000, once it was completed its maximum would reach a terrifying number

The 36 main cities within the game had their walls' HP above 10,000,000,000. That meant that the Myth Group had spent a lot of money and resources to have their wall reach 1/10th the maximum HP of a main city's wall.

"They are so rich! But this time, I will make all of you lose a lot!"

While Myth Group's base was like a fortress, he had the confidence to be able to breach it. Of course, he would need the cooperation of other guilds and monsters during the siege.

The number of monsters and players were capped at 100,000. As long as these monsters and players could deal 10,000 damage each to the wall, the 1,000,000,000 worth of HP would deplete very soon. They would need to breach the defenses formed by Myth Group's players first, of course.

Ding! System Announcement: Barbaric Giant Event has begun!

Just as Jiang Feng was observing Myth Group's guild base, the Barbaric Giants event had begun.

Whoosh.

What took him by surprise was that a Barbaric Giant appeared behind him.

"My, what a coincidence! It's even a Level 30 Barbaric Giant! Kill it!"

He turned around and saw a huge Barbaric Giant roaming around behind him. He was slightly surprised, but then released Xiao Longnu, Yanhu and the rest of his followers, and had begun to hunt down the Barbaric Giant.

In about a dozen minutes, their group had slain the Level 30 Barbaric Giant.

At his current state, he could defeat and Barbaric Giant below Level 40.

Ding! System Prompt: Monster Transmutation successful. Congratulations, you have received a pet egg.

After receiving the Pet Egg, he gave it a look. It was a Rank 6 egg, which equated to around 60,000. He then put it away happily and scouted for other Barbaric Giants.

He spent around two hours and killed three Barbaric Giants in total, and obtained two Pet Eggs and a Pet Skill Book.

The two Pet Eggs were a Rank 6 egg and a Rank 8 egg. What made him most excited wasn't the two Pet Eggs, but it was the Pet Skill book.

Hide: Pet Skill

After activation, the pet will become hidden. Duration 5 minutes. Attacking or being attacked will reveal the pet's form. Cooldown of 5 minutes.

"Haha! This skill came just in time! The siege will begin in 10 minutes. Let the fight begin!"

After learning the Hide skill, he extended his two claws and grabbed at the rocky surface of the cliffs and climbed down the cliff.

When he had arrived near Myth Group, he hid in the nearby bushes, waiting for the Siege to begin.

At the time, there were tens of thousands of players standing outside of the base, completely filling up any empty spaces. These were all members of Myth Group!

Ding! Server Announcement: Canaan Guild and Myth Group, the Monster Siege had begun!

Ten minutes had quickly passed. Once the server announcement had been made, 30,000 Level 30 monsters appeared at the entrance.

These monsters were all level 30 Two-Headed Wind Wolves. They possessed very high speed. In the blink of an eye, the battle between them and the members of Myth Group had started.

The battleground had been covered with the dazzling colors of various skills.

"My brethren from Lingyun Pavilion, kill them all!"

"Comrades from Xingyun Guild, it's time to fight!"

"My companions from the Husha Gang, destroy them all!"

...

As the Two-Headed Wolves and the guild members of the Myth Group were clashing together, players from other guilds appeared and rushed towards the guild members of the Myth Group like locusts.

As the two sides clashed, blood had quickly dyed the earth red. The thick scent of blood began to spread in the air.

"Oh my goodness, how exciting! Boss, shall we go?" Yanhu looked at the gigantic clash between the two forces, and he was so excited that he wanted to rush in immediately.

Jiang Feng looked at the battle, and said, "Wait. We are not joining the first round. Let's wait until this round is finished."

During the first round, regardless of whether they were on the defending side or attack side, both sides would be at their peak.

As soon as the first round had finished, they would definitely have suffered losses. It would be much safer if they attacked then and no one would be able to stop him.

The scene of a battle joined by 300,000 could only be seen in the movies or tv shows. Jiang Feng and the surrounding players had become fervent, so much so that some players even rushed over and started killing indiscriminately without caring so much which side their victims were on, unleashing the stress from the real world!

While wars were definitely a burden on society, it was also one of the fastest ways to release the stress in their heart. It was also one way for them to increase their combat experience and the fastest way of making a hero out of mortals!

"The strength to pick up mountains and rivers, and the might conquer the world!"

A powerfully built man appeared among the Myth Group players. He was around two meters tall and was extremely well built. He wielded a giant axe, and his one skill could instantly kill around seven or eight players.

"Da Luohan? Looks like the elites of Myth Group have begun their offensive!" Jiang Feng quietly said in his heart as he looked at the man.

"The Dragon Howls at the Nine Heavens!"

Roar!

Qiu Si attacked, the Divine Dragon Sword in his hand waved as he jumped down from the wall. With his feet still in the air and his Divine Dragon Sword pointed at a group of players. The next moment, the phantom of a Divine Dragon appeared, howled, and pierced through the bodies of a group of players attacking the base. It had instantly killed around thirty players.

Qiu Si was a very handsome man. He was wearing white, and his Divine Dragon Sword made him even more striking. Many Myth Group female players that saw this scene all screamed in passion.

"Hm? Looks like Qiu Si had increased his level and unlocked a skill from his Divine Weapon. And it's a skill that targets an area, no less," Jiang Feng mumbled as he looked at Qiu Si's skills.

"Boss, when are we going in? I can't wait!" Yanhu waved his tail wildly as he asked without patience.

"I concur. Shall we go into the fray together?" Xiao Longnu asked Jiang Feng with her eyes brimming with passion after watching the battle.

Jiang Feng looked at Xiao Longnu, then looked at Yanhu and his other followers, and asked, "It will be very dangerous if we join now."

"What are we afraid of? As long as the boss is here, we cannot die!" Heifeng said as he licked his nose.

"Very well, let us go and slaughter them all!"

Roar!

After his speech, he then activated his float skill and took flight into the air, revealing his 5 meters long body as he unleashed a dragon howl. He led Xiao Longnu, Yanhu, and the others into the battle!

Chapter 90: The Siege (Part 2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The scales on Jiang Feng were brown, while the scales on Xiao Longnu were white.

Both of them stormed out and flew into the skies, spinning like a helix and bolted towards the members of Myth Group.

Yanhu, Heifeng, Haozi, Manwang, Houwang, and the Thunderclap Mantis followed them tightly under their shadows.

"Roar! Tornado!"

Once he was above Myth Group, Jiang Feng unleashed a dragon roar. A tornado appeared in the middle of the players, and the whirlwind caught about a hundred players within itself.

Any players caught by the tornado would disappear into a white light within three seconds.

"Roar! Tidal Wave!"

Jiang Feng's skills hadn't even finished, Xiao Longnu then used her area-of-effect skill.

She opened her mouth, and a giant waterfall blasted from her mouth towards the players. The moment the waterfall crashed into the ground, around 500 players were thrown into the air and disappeared into the waves.

The tidal wave disappeared only after five seconds, and the players within the waves had also disappeared along with it.

"Exploding Flame!"

Yanhu jumped into the players and used an area-of-effect skill that he had just learned when he reached level 30. A giant fireball exploded within the players, and the explosions formed into smaller fireballs, smacking the players into a painful, crying mess.

"Exploding Flame!"

After Yanhu had used his Exploding Flame skill, Houwang also used the same area-of-effect skill.

Next, Heifeng, Haozi, Manwang, and the Thunderclap Mantis all charged into the groups of players and used their area-of-effect skills.

In less than a dozen seconds, thousands of players had died by their hands.

...

The players that had seen this scene were all stunned.

"Damn! Why did two dragons and six bosses suddenly appear? Are they the monsters besieging the base too?"

"I don't think so? My friends at Canaan Guild said nothing like that had happened."

"My goodness, those two dragons are so cool! It would be so cool if I can capture them! Unfortunately, monsters from the Monster Sieges can't be captured. Even if they could, the success rate would be so low!"

Many of the players that were attacking were brimming with excitement when they saw Jiang Feng and Xiao Longnu to the point where they forgot that they were in a battle. Some of them were even dreaming about riding on a dragon and looked upon the land from its back.

But when the Two-Headed Wind Wolves saw Jiang Feng and Xiao Longnu's arrival, their morale greatly increased and they had even become more fanatical in their attacks. The five Two-Headed Wolf Kings converged towards Yanhu, most probably treating them as monsters that were tasked with attacking the base.

"Hm?"

Seeing this, Jiang Feng was thrilled, and he released a dragon howl.

"Hear my commands, Two-Headed Wolf Kings! Lead your underlings and surround the other three gates! Yanhu, Heifeng, and one of the Two-Headed Wolf Kings attack the East Gate. Haozi, Manwang, and another Two-Headed Wolf King head to the West Gate. Houwang, Thunderclap Mantis, and another Two-Headed Wolf King head to the South Gate. The rest of you follow me and attack the North Gate!"

His roar was filled with majesty, and the five Two-Headed Wolf Kings all howled at the sky and led their underlings towards the other three gates as commanded.

The monsters had instantly been separated into four waves, one heading towards each of the gates.

When Myth Group's guild leader Shen Ye saw this, he became concerned.

There weren't many players defending the other three gates. If the monsters managed to breach the other three gates, their situation would instantly become extremely dangerous.

When Qiu Si saw this, he returned to the top of the wall using a mobility skill, and said to Shen Ye despite being similarly anxious, "Cousin, that brown dragon was the Shifter's Inheritor that I told you about. It is very strong. Bring a group of men to handle the other three gates. Leave this place to me."

"Alright, cousin. You must help me protect the base. If not, our losses will be immeasurable!" Shen Ye said to Qiu Si.

"I'll try my best," Qiu Si said with a grimace as he turned and looked at Jiang Feng slaughtering the players. He couldn't guarantee that he could defend it.

"Alright, do your best!" Hearing Qiu Si's response, Shen Ye could only look towards Jiang Feng with fury. But he eventually sighed and led a few of his elites and headed towards the other gates!

After Shen Ye left, Qiu Si summoned his Rank 7 Blazing Eagle pet and jumped on its back, and he headed towards Jiang Feng.

The Blazing Eagle was a pet egg that he managed to obtain after killing a Barbaric Giant. He had spent the time to increase the Blazing Eagle's level in the past week continuously. He even fed it the Experience Pills that he bought from the Imperial Dragon Auction House, pushing its level to reach level 30. Its stats were even higher than a level 30 boss.

"Inheritor of the Shifters, allow me to be your opponent. Dragon Break!"

Standing on the Blazing Eagle, Qiu Si pointed the Divine Dragon Sword at Jiang Feng. The phantom of a golden dragon headed straight toward Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng, who was slaying the players, had also discovered Qiu Si. Once he saw his attack, he gave him a cold smile and said, "I've been waiting for you!"

In the next moment, he flew high into the sky and reached out for the phantom of the golden dragon. He stretched his dragon claws and violently shredded the phantom into pieces, causing only minimal damage to him.

He was already a dragon. Anyone that used Dragon related skills to attack him would find their effects greatly reduced.

"Why did you have to choose the Divine Dragon Sword despite there being so many other Divine Artifacts for you to choose from? I'm sorry, but your Dragon related-skills won't cause me much harm!"

Jiang Feng roared at Qiu Si and his dragon claws continued to reach towards him without decelerating.

"Shadow Pierce!"

Seeing that the damage from dragon-related skills had been reduced to such an extent, Qiu Si became even more alarmed. He did not use any dragon-related skill, but used another skill instead.

He disappeared from the back of the Blazing Eagle and instantly appeared behind Jiang Feng. The Blazing Eagle quickly flew over and picked him up.

"Huh..."

Jiang Feng looked at the blood flowing from his abdomen. He roared in fury, "Perish, Requiem!"

Ring. Ring.

The bell was rung, and Qiu Si as well as his pet Blazing Eagle was instantly Dazed. However, the moment that he entered the Daze state, a golden light shone, and they both were instantly awakened.

"Roar! Dragon Howl!"

Jiang Feng used his second crowd control skill.

When Qiu Si saw Jiang Feng used his second skill, he did not retreat and headed towards Jiang Feng. He did not even pay any attention to it.

As the sound wave from the Dragon Howl reached him, a ripple appeared around him and dispelled the effects of the Dragon Howl.

"Haha, you want to use double crowd-control to kill me instantly again? I've died to you once, do you think I'll die to you again? Divine Dragon Slash!" Qiu Si smiled coldly and slashed at Jiang Feng as his sword glowed with a golden light.

"Roar!"

Just as Jiang Feng was going to use Blink to blink to his side and used his third crowd control skill to kill Qiu Si, another Dragon Howl came. Xiao Longnu was rushing over.

Xiao Longnu's Dragon Howl had caused Qiu Si and the Blazing Eagle to enter a daze, and fell onto the ground.

When Xiao Longnu came over and saw Jiang Feng's bleeding abdomen and missing dragon scales, she was furious. She violently rushed over and caught Qiu Si and the Blazing Eagle using her claws, and threw them into the air. She then smashed them brutally towards the ground using her dragon tail.

"Roar! How dare you harm Xiao Feng! Die!"

In her berserk state, she continually used her tail to slap at Qiu Si and the Blazing Eagle. And before they fell onto the ground, she would catch them using her claws and throw them into the air again so that she could slap them using her tail.

After four or five times, Xiao Longnu used her tail to brutally smash Qiu Si into the ground. While the Blazing Eagle had awakened and wanted to pick up Qiu Si, it was stopped by Jiang Feng.

Boom!

Qiu Si's body violently crashed into the ground and a large amount of damage floated from his head. He then turned into white lights, forced to return to the Respawn Point.

Most of the damage he received was inflicted by Xiao Longnu, and he finally died after being smashed to the ground alive!

"It's so terrifying when a woman gets angry!"

The edge of Jiang Feng's lips twitched a little as he saw Xiao Longnu torture Qiu Si like that.

Chapter 91: The Siege (Part 3)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Northern Gate of Myth Group's Guild Base was commanded by Qiu Si!

After he had been killed by Xiao Longnu, adding the pressure Jiang Feng and Xiao Longnu posed, the morale of the players in the Northern Gate had fallen drastically!

Morale was one of the most important emotions in a war!

Without morale, combat capabilities and willpower would fall drastically.

If the morale was high, it could even strengthen the body's subconsciously, allowing them to even boost up their power to 150%.

If one side with fewer combatants had higher morale clashed with an opposing force with more combatants but with less morale, the chances of the side with the fewer combatants would win was very high!

While Myth Group had a lot of members, they were not at the same level and didn't go through any training. They couldn't work with each other at all.

As Shen Ye was away to defend the other gates and Qiu Si was killed, adding the terror of the two dragons in the air, causing their morale to drop, and the army scattered!

"Slaughter them!"

After Qiu Si's death, Jiang Feng and Xiao Longnu led the Double-Headed Wolf Kings and the normal double-headed wolves and rushed toward the edge of the wall, and attacked it.

Any players that wanted to interrupt them would be killed by Xiao Longnu and him.

As for the players that had classes in long-range combat class on the wall, had all been swiped down from the wall using his dragon tail.

At this time, the players that had joined the siege had also made their way over and attacked the walls together with the normal double-headed wolves.

...

Just as Jiang Feng was leading the monsters and players attacking the wall, something interesting happened at the Western Gate.

Shen Ye rode on a Rank 7 Bluecloud Panther and led a group of his members at the Western Gate and fought with Yanhu, Heifeng, Double-Headed Wolf King, and a group of normal Double-Headed Wolves.

Yanhu and Heifeng kept on surrounding Shen Ye and didn't attack him, but they were communicating with Shen Ye's pet, the Bluecloud Panther.

"Little panther, can't you stand up for yourself for once? Does it feel great being ridden by a human? Let me tell you something. If you follow our boss, you can one day become a Divine Panther," Yanhu told the Bluecloud Panther.

"That's right. Our boss is very "generous," and he had a bunch of Golden Pills in his hands. Golden Pills! It's a divine medicine that could let us evolve without limits! You're from the countryside so you probably had never seen one!" Hei Feng said in agreement.

The Bluecloud Panther was considered to be a pure-blooded panther, so it did have some intelligence. Of course, its intelligence was no higher than Yanhu and Heifeng.

Hearing Yanhu and Heifeng's words, it blinked, and even its movement slowed down a lot.

Seeing that it had some effects, Yanhu and Heifeng exchanged a glance and kept on attempting to manipulate it psychologically.

Yanhu said flatteringly, "Brother Panther, you're a Rank 7 Divine Beast! Much stronger than us! But look at us now. Our boss had given us a Golden Pill and power had increased substantially. We're almost stronger than you."

Heifeng continued to agree and said, "That's right, that's right! Who are you? You are our Brother Panther! While you don't talk much, are you willing to let a human ride you around? As long as you follow our boss, he can even help you find lots of beautiful female panthers! Why are you still hesitating? Throw that disgusting human off your back and make him scram! Come and follow our boss."

Lots of female panthers?

The Double-Headed Wolf King's eyes brimmed with excitement and asked Heifeng, "Brother Hei, does the boss have many female Double-Headed Wolves?"

"Hm?" Heifeng looked at the Double-Headed Wolf King with surprise, and asked, "You have so many followers, none of them are female?"

"None of the Double-Headed Wolves are female. All of them are male," The Double-Headed Wolf King shook his head.

"Then that's going to be hard," Heifeng gave it some thought and said, "Can you accept a one-headed female wolf?"

"Too ugly!" The Double-Headed Wolf King shook his head.

Yanhu then asked, "How about three?"

The Double-Headed Wolf King's eyes brimmed with passion and nodded continuously, "Of course, of course! That's like a goddess to me."

Yanhu said, "Alright, follow me after we're done. I'll ask the boss to help you find a Three-Headed female wolf."

The Double-Headed Wolf King thanked him continuously and said, "Thank you, Brother Yan. Thank you, Brother Hei. I'll follow you from now on."

"It's fine, it's fine."

Yanhu and Heifeng laughed and thought to themselves, 'We haven't convinced the Bluecloud Panther yet, but we've managed to convince a Double-Headed Wolf King for now. The boss will reward us when we get back.'

The Bluecloud Panther kept on avoiding attacks as Shen Ye was riding on him. As it heard the conversation between Yanhu, Heifeng, and the Double-Headed Wolf King, it was tempted.

Ding! System Prompt: Your pet's loyalty has dropped from 100% to 50%. Please improve its loyalty or it will leave you!

Shen Ye, who was fighting the Double-Headed Wolves around it suddenly heard the voice from the system. As he listened to it, he was stunned and thought to himself, 'What's happening? Why did my pet suddenly lose loyalty?'

As the Bluecloud Panther's loyalty dropped, its reaction had also become slower, and his control over it was not as smooth as before.

Ding! System Prompt: The first wave of monsters wasn't cleared within an hour. The second wave of monsters will arrive in 5 minutes.

"What?!"

Shen Ye was furious with eyes wide-open.

Beep. Beep.

At the time when he was furious, he received a message from a friend. He quickly took a look.

Qiu Si: "We're in trouble! The Northern wall's HP is less than 70%. Quickly contact the guilds that we have allied with, or we will definitely fail!"

"Damn! Damn!"

Shen Ye was on the verge of biting someone's head off.

He wanted to control the Bluecloud Panther to retreat at the moment, but what made him furious even more was not only that the Bluecloud Panther didn't retreat, it was hesitating.

"Crap, even an animal like you dare to go against me?!"

Seeing that, Shen Ye became even angrier and used the bow in his head and strike at the Bluecloud Panther's buttocks.

Yanhu and Heifeing had seen this, and quickly made things worse and said, "Brother Panther, look! Look! I told you that humans are cold-blooded! You were carrying him fighting in the fields of battle, but look at how he's treating you? He's beating your buttocks, that's your pride! You shouldn't tolerate this! You shouldn't!

Heifeng turned his eyes sideways and said, "This is so embarrassing, I can't look at this! Brother Panther, for you to allow trash like this to ride on you willingly, you're losing your status, losing your status..."

After submitting himself to the Double-Headed Wolf King, he also learned from Heifeng and said in agreement, "That's right, that's right! You shouldn't tolerate this, you shouldn't!"

After hearing the words from Yanhu and the others, he was also feeling extremely embarrassed. He also felt that letting a human ride on him was a humiliation. And he had finally exploded at this moment.

"Scram!"

It roared angrily and immediately threw Shen Ye off.

When Yanhu, Heifeng, and the Double-Headed Wolf King saw this, they didn't hesitate and rushed over to Shen Ye that had been thrown off balance. One should not underestimate the power of three boss monsters. In less than a dozen minutes, Shen Ye had only a slither of health left.

After Shen Ye had been damaged by the three bosses until he only had a slither of health left, Yanhu and the others suddenly stopped. Yanhu then turned his head back and beckoned the Bluecloud Panther over by using his claw and said, "Brother Panther, come and do the honors! And build up your dignity!"

The Bluecloud Panther walked over.

Ding! System Prompt: Your pet's loyalty has dropped from 50% to 0%. Your pet has betrayed you, please be careful!

"Go back! Back to the pet space!" When Shen Ye saw that the Blue Cloud Panther was approaching him, he wanted to put it away back into the Pet's Space. Unfortunately, the System had already notified him that his Pet's loyalty had become 0 and was no longer his pet. He was in a state of panic and anger.

The Bluecloud Panther came in front of Shen Ye and looked at him as it lowered its head. Then smacked him to death using his claw without hesitation.

"You're so great, Brother Panther!"

When Heifeng saw the Bluecloud Panther kill Shen Ye, he extended his thick paw and gave it a nail up.

When the members that originally came over wanting to save Shen Ye and saw him killed by his pet, they were all stunned in place, completely taken by surprise.

Chapter 92: Inheritor of the Infernals

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The assistant guild leader Qiu Si was slammed to the death on the ground by Xiao Longnu!

The guild leader Shen Ye had been slapped to death by his own pet!

All the players from Myth Group had been emotionally pushed to their limits.

Some of the players had already been killed twice or thrice. They were so afraid to lose levels that they had escaped by logging out.

Shen Ye Guild's players had drastically lowered. When the second wave of monsters arrived, only around 90,000 of the players were still around.

This was how the guild within the games work. Without any professional training, when the battle began they would fight on their own without coordination. Even if the guild had a talented commander, they couldn't control such a chaotic group.

"My. If this is how the guilds are going to fight in the World War? Looks like I have to build up my own group of monsters. If not, won't Huaxia be beaten up during the World War?" Jiang Feng thought to himself as he crouched on the world war and looked at Myth Group's members scattering.

The second wave was a group of Level 40 Skeletal Knight. They were much stronger than normal players in terms of speed or attack.

Adding the 30,000 Skeletal Knights, the 8,000 Double-Headed Wolves, and 70,000 players that were attacking together, the total had reached 10,000.

Under his leadership, the wall's HP had quickly fallen to 50%.

Despite a few of the Myth Group's elites wanting to stop them, they had all been killed by Xiao Longnu and him.

In order to destroy an army, the leaders must first be killed. That was why when Myth Group's elite died and no one was commanding them, Myth Group's members had fallen into chaos and were forced to retreat into the city by the monsters and the attacking players.

At this time, Qiu Si and Shen Ye had been revived and fought their way back.

"Don't retreat! We outnumber them, and can outkill them!" Shen Ye yelled out in a loud voice. "Priests, heal the wall! Long-range attackers, use your skills! Warriors, tank their attacks! Anyone who has killed a player or a monster will be rewarded with 50gp! The more you kill, the more gold you'll get!"

Lives may be bought when the price is right. After Shen Ye's announcement, many of the retreating players no longer retreated but attacked the attacking players and monsters.

In a short moment, the members of Myth Group had their morale increased.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng frowned and walked next to Xiao Longnu and whispered to her.

In the next moment, under Jiang Feng's cover, Xiao Longnu shapeshifted into a human form.

She then yelled out loudly, "Brothers and sisters that are attacking the base! The guild leaders Ling Yun, Su Xingyu, the leader of Husha Guild, and the others had said that as long as the base is destroyed, everyone will be given 10,000gp! Those that kill Shen Ye and Qiu Si would be given 50,000! Kill them all!"

"Damn! All hail the guild leader! Let's kill them, brothers! Destroy the base, and get out 10,000!"

"Kill Shen Ye, and destroy Myth Group!"

...

Xiao Longnu's shout had increased the morale of the attacking players, and all of their eyes were beaming as they killed the members from Myth Group in a frenzy.

The guild leaders that were commanding their guild members from behind were all stunned.

Chen Mo blinked. "Since when did the guild leader say we're going to get rewarded when the base is destroyed? Why wasn't I told about this?"

Chen Mo wasn't the only one that had the same question in mind. Even the top-brass from Xingyu Guild, Husha guild, and the others were all confused.

However, seeing that their morale had become so high, none of them had come out to explain. Since explaining it at this time would lower their morale.

As the group of players attacked when their morale was high, they quickly demolished the remaining members of Myth Group.

In less than an hour, the wall's HP had been reduced to 0%.

Boom!

When the wall's HP had reached 0, the wall crumbled in a great explosion

"Kill them all!"

Jiang Feng yelled out and rushed into Myth Group's base.

In the middle of the base, there was a building that housed the Guild-Building Order. It was guarded by many players.

Shen Ye and Qiu Si became extremely nervous and led a group of players blocking in front of the building, stopping the attacking players from coming close.

"Shen Ye, the base is a goner. Go and retrieve the Guild-Building Order to reduce our losses!" Qiu Si said to Shen Ye when he saw that Jiang Feng was leading the monsters and tens of thousands of players.

After listening to Qiu Si, Shen Ye quickly went into the building and took away the Guild-Building Order. At the same time, he had also given up on building a base.

Ding! Server Announcement: Myth Group's base has been destroyed. The construction of the base has failed.

Boom!

As soon as the system made its announcement, Myth Group's base fell into the ground and was turned into ash.

"Damn it! I've spent 3,000,000 on it and it's all gone now!" Shen Ye looked on furiously. He had spent so much money and quite a few days, and the base was all gone.

Qiu Si wasn't feeling that good too since some of the money spent was his. This guild could be considered to be led by both him and Shen Ye.

Qiu Si rode the Blazing Hawk and flew away, but he then roared at the players underneath and said, "Lingyun Pavillion, Xingyu Guild, Husha Guild, and the others. I have remembered all of you! When it's your time to build your guild, Myth Group would be there!"

After listening to Qiu Si's threat, some of the high-level members of Lingyun Pavilion and Xingyu Guild's became filled with worry.

However, when Jiang Feng heard that, he smiled.

"Roar! My brethren, let's go!" He roared and led Xiao Longnu to fly toward a cliff.

Yanhu, Heifeng, the Thunderclap Mantis, Haozi, Houwang, Manwang, and the newly joined Double-Headed Wolf King and Bluecloud Panther all climbed toward that cliff.

As for the other monsters that had attacked the base, the ruins that they had taken control over had become their new territories and they didn't leave.

Very quickly, they had gathered on a cliff.

"Hm? Why are there two extras?" Jiang Feng asked as he looked at the Double-Headed Wolf King and Bluecloud Panther that was behind Yanhu.

"Hehe, boss, these two are here to submit to you. That Bluecloud Panther was Shen Ye's pet, but we've managed to convince him to turncoat," Heifeng came before Jiang Feng with pride.

"Shen Ye's pet? Submit?" Jiang Feng blinked as if he didn't understand.

"Boss, what happened was..." Yanhu then explained to Jiang Feng in a whisper.

"Haha..." After hearing Yanhu's explanation, Jiang Feng couldn't stop laughing. "You two have done well. I will give you two the evolution pills next time first, haha!" He didn't expect that Yanhu and Heifeng would have such high intelligence, knowing how to force their enemies to surrender, although the process was somewhat dishonorable.

"Are you very happy?"

Just as Jiang Feng was laughing joyfully, a cold voice entered within his earshot.

Next, a black mist appeared in front of him. A woman wearing a black dress and a black veil appeared before him.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of danger descending upon him and he stopped his laughter, and said frostily, "Inheritor of the Infernals!"

He wanted to see the information on the woman in front of him. Unfortunately, the opponent must have something that could be used to block his Identify skill, causing it to be useless against her.

"That's right. Do you know what you did was very childish?" The Inheritor of the Infernals gave him a scornful look.

'She could understand me? That means that she must have some kind of pills that allow her to understand what he was saying, similar to Qiu Si's Divine Speech Pill.

"What do you mean?!" Jiang Feng frowned, filling his heart with anger.

"I know what you did was to stop the Divines from gaining a foothold. You attacked the base because you were worried that they would become too much to handle later. But have you ever thought that the Great Divine-Infernal War would only be unlocked after the World War? Now that you have weakened the Divines, how are we going to defeat the other countries during the World War? Canaan Guild's base is now in grave danger, and you've destroyed the Myth Group's base causing them to turn against each other, who would have the courage to build a guild base after this?"

"Even if I don't do anything, the guilds were already antagonistic against each other! What right do you have to blame me for all of that?!" Jiang Feng said. "Not to mention that isn't it too early to talk about the World War? Even if the World War were to happen, we of the Shifters will bear that burden. The Divines and the Infernals can just stand aside and watch!"

"You prideful Shifter! Do you really think that you alone can win against so many players from other countries?" The Inheritor of the Infernals said and smiled coldly. "Haha, you're too innocent. Let me tell you this, our country's server had the inheritors of all the races. The other countries have them too. Now is not the time to fight among ourselves. I have already told you what I want to say. I will not go and help Canaan Guild to protect their base. If you still have some national pride, then come with me!"

The Inheritor of the Infernals then took out a Town Portal Scroll and left immediately.

A woman of principle and righteousness. A speech full of national pride!

Jiang Feng smiled coldly as he looked at the Inheritor of the Infernals left. He could now guess the inheritor's identity.

"I never would have thought that the Inheritor of the Infernal's identity was from the National Army. Looks like attacking Shen Ye's guild had caused them to be displeased with me. But I wouldn't blame them. Regardless of which guild built the base, they would eventually have to listen to the commands of the army, so naturally, they wouldn't be happy with what I did."

"I do have national pride, but I will not listen to the commands of anyone else!" Jiang Feng violently grabbed the ground with his claws as he stood with pride.

Chapter 93: The Heart of the Root under the Lake

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nanhai City, near Canaan's Guild newly built Guild Base.

The Inheritor of the Infernals, Yao Qiong, frowned as she mumbled, "According to my sources, there are many inheritors from the other races. I have also met with the other race's inheritors, but why did I feel that the Shifter's Inheritor has such high intelligence?"

There were many highly intelligent monsters in the game, and some of these monsters had become their respective race's inheritors.

While the inheritors fight among themselves, they all know that their country could not be allowed to fall into the hands of another country's inheritor.

She had even managed to recruit two of these inheritors from another two races. Once they heard it was for the World War and was for the Huaxia Server's betterment, these Inheritors all chose to cooperate.

But what she did not expect was for Jiang Feng to refuse to cooperate, and even be suspicious of her. It was as if it had seen through her.

"If it wasn't because players couldn't play as monsters, I would have suspected that he's a player. It looks like I had still underestimated the game's NPC and monsters!" Yao Qiong shook her head helplessly.

She then looked at the monsters and members of Tianxia Gang having reached the walls of Canaan's Guild, she thought to herself, 'I better help Canaan Guild protect their base first.'

With that, she waved her hand. A dozen Infernal Soldiers appeared and followed her to attack the attacking players and monsters.

...

Luzhou City, Lanruo Temple.

After Jiang Feng had destroyed Myth Group's base, he did not choose to help Canaan Guild or attack them. Instead, he went to Lanruo Temple in Luzhou City.

It was almost the time that he had promised to meet with Yan Chixia, so he had to come here first.

As for whether Canaan Guild could protect their city, that was not his concern.

What he was concerned the most about was the speed that he could become stronger. Once he had become stronger, he could go and recruit ever stronger followers.

"Xiao Qian... Xiao Qian, where are you...?"

He came to the giant tree outside of Lanruo Temple and saw Ning Caichen crying out wildly.

He looked at the time, and there was still half an hour before the appointed time that he needed to meet with Yan Chixia. He took out the Divine Fate Compass and was going to use the last use of Treasure Find.

The first two times he used it, he found the Kunlun Mirror's fragment and recruited Xiao Longnu. The second time he used it, perhaps because the coordinates were a bit too far away from where the treasure was, not only did he not find it he almost got Xiao Longnu killed. This time, he wanted to see where Treasure Find would send him for the third time.

After he had finished the plot quest, he would go search it out.

"Lanruo Temple, Small House in the Lake, Lakebed."

Shen Luo searched for the location of the treasure, said a sentence, and then went back into the Divine Fate Compass. The Treasure Find skill had entered its 24-hour cooldown period.

"Hm? The lakebed under the small house in the lake? I ever thought that the treasure would be so close to where I am, should I go there and take a look?" He muttered to himself with a slight surprise as he looked at the location and coordinates on the Divine Fate Compass.

After giving it a thought, he shook his head and didn't go to find the treasure. If he accidentally missed the promised meeting time with Yan Chixia, the plot quest would surely fail.

Since the treasure wouldn't disappear, he had decided to complete the plot quest first before finding the treasure.

"Boy, I did not expect you to be here so early."

At this time, a voice came from the sky.

Jiang Feng looked up, only to see Yan Chixia flying down while stepping on the Red Sun Sword.

"You came here early too, didn't you?" He did not expect him to have arrived at this time since there was still half an hour before the time that they had promised.

Once Ning Caichen saw Yan Chixia, he was no longer mumbling but excitedly came forward and hugged Yan Chixia and asked, "Master, did you find a way to save Xiao Qian?"

"You should just stay here, child." Yan Chixia patted on Ning Caichen's shoulder. He then approached Jiang Feng and asked, "Little Dragon, have you found Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body?"

"I found it!" Jiang Feng nodded and said.

"Good, follow me. Let us meet Laolao!" Yan Chixia nodded excitedly and headed towards the small house in the lake.

Jiang Feng quickly followed him

The sky above Lanruo temple was dark, and they had arrived at the small house in the lake.

Just when they had reached the house, the shadow of a beautiful woman appeared on the wooden house.

"You again!"

That shadow was Xiao Lan, who had slept with Jiang Feng.

She stared angrily at Jiang Feng. If it wasn't because of Yan Chixia next to him, she would have attacked.

He looked up at the angry Xiao Lan, and thought of her beautiful body, he felt his heart throbbing. It was his first taste of the forbidden fruit after all, and he felt he was falling slightly addicted to it.

"Just a mere ghost under a spell. Do not worry about her. We shall enter the lake and seek Laolao's true body!" said Yan Chixia as he glanced at Xiao Lan, and jumped into the lake without paying her much attention.

"Roar, I'll come to accompany you when I have the time," Jiang Feng roared at Xiao Lan then jumped into the lake together with Yan Chixia.

Xiao Lan felt complicated as she looked at Jiang Feng as he jumped into the lake.

Yan Chixia was right, she was just a ghost that was being controlled.

While she was a ghost and had lured many men to Laolao as offerings, she had kept her purity. If it wasn't because she had fallen for Jiang Feng's trap, she wouldn't have lost her purity. She wouldn't have become so weak and had gained such a traumatic experience to the point of having a nightmare about it.

But she felt extremely conflicted. She knew what Jiang Feng and Yan Chixia were going to do, but she didn't stop them. She didn't tell Laolao too. Subconsciously, she really hoped that Jiang Feng and Yan Chixia could destroy Laolao. Then, she wouldn't be controlled to do things that she didn't want to do anymore.

"Hmph~ If you can help me kill Laolao, then I will let you leave. Next time, I'll kill you for sure!" Xiao Lan said under her breath, then turned towards the small house in the lake, preparing to watch this war.

...

Once he was in the lake, Jiang Feng kept on looking for the treasure under the lake.

Unfortunately, after searching for a while, he still couldn't find any treasure that Shen Luo had told him about.

'Maybe the treasure's coordinates aren't correct?' Jiang Feng said to himself in his mind.

"Why are you so distracted?! Follow me to the Heart of the Root!" Yan Chixia told Jiang Feng when he saw him looking left and right. He then used the Red Sun Sword to blast open the face of a wall by the lake and pulled his dragon claw and into the giant hall.

After they had entered the hole, it began to close.

Jiang Feng turned back and looked, and only noticed that the wall that Yan Chixia had broken open wasn't a wall at all. It was actually a giant tree trunk.

"Laolao's true body is in here. Her true body's power is only going to be more powerful than the Laolao that you have met. Once the battle had started, remember to give Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body to me!" Yan Chixia said to him.

When he heard that, he nodded and began to look around.

His current position was at the Heart of a Tree. In the middle of the tree was a path heading down. He didn't need to think to know that the path down was where Laolao's true body was at. The Locust Tree's Heart of the Root.

"Perhaps that treasure was at the Locust Tree's Heart of the Root," he became ecstatic once he thought of the possibility, and quickly followed Yan Chixia heading deeper towards that passage.

Chapter 94: Slaying Laolao

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The passage within the Heart of the Tree was formed by roots. It was quite narrow and was winding up and down. Jiang Feng spent a lot of effort so that his dragon body could climb in it.

After a dozen minutes, they had finally exited the passage. If not, he would have suffocated to death.

"Whew!" Once he was out of the passage, he let out a heavy sigh and looked around him.

This was a huge secret room, and in the middle was a patch of tree roots covered with an uncountable amount of root hairs.

Each of these root hairs was thicker than his body. He looked up, and said in amazement, "So this is the root of that Locust Tree! To think that the roots are bigger than the entire tree!"

Yan Chixia looked at the tree root with caution, the Red Sun Sword in his hand and a stack of talismans in another

Crack.

At this time, a light cocoon revealed itself from the middle of the tree roots. Within the cocoon was a very cute little girl.

Looking at the little girl, Jiang Feng used Identify on it.

Laolao: Level 50 Spiritual-Level Boss

HP: 800,000

Attack: 50,000 – 70,000

Defense: 30,00

Skills: Drain Blood, Drain Spirit, Shapeshift, Illusion, Summoning, Variable Spiritual Techniques

"Er, the designers are getting too playful, aren't they? Turning someone as disgusting as Laolao into a little girl. The contrast is too great," Jiang Feng mumbled as he looked at Laolao, then turned and asked Yan Chixia, "Master, you say that this is Laolao's true body? Why is her power quite similar to the one that I had seen?"

"That's because she has not yet transformed. She could easily scare you to death after her transformation!" Yan Chixia said.

Jiang Feng then asked, "How could we force her to reveal her true form then?"

Yan Chixia did not answer Jiang Feng and threw the talismans in his hand towards Laolao in the cocoon.

"Yan Chixia, do you wish to die so much?" Laolao spoke coldly as she suddenly opened her eyes. At the next moment, hundreds of tree roots shipped at Yan Chixia and Jiang Feng.

"High-Speed Movement!"

Seeing that, Jiang Feng quickly used High-Speed Movement to dodge the attacks in cold sweat. Laolao's attack maximum had reached 70,000, and his HP was only slightly more than 70,000. If he was struck by that attack, she could easily kill him in two strikes.

Yan Chixia was taking it easy, however, as he slashed at them with the Red Sun Sword in his hand. In a dozen seconds, he had cut out all the roots.

"Ah..." Then, a bitter and incensed scream could be heard. Jiang Feng quickly looked at Laolao who was within the cocoon of light.

He saw that the talismans that Yan Chixia threw at her weren't blocked by the roots. Instead, they were glowing in red as they pierced through the cocoon, and glued themselves on Laolao's chest.

"Yan Chixia, I will kill you!" Laolao let out a furious roar, and her body began to change. Her cute little girl body burst opened, a ball of light flew out and combined together with the tree roots.

"Give me the Golden Body now!" Yan Chixia yelled at Jiang Feng hurriedly.

Jiang Feng quickly took out Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body from his spatial bracelet and threw it to Yan Chixia.

Hum!

After Yan Chixia received the Golden Body, he fused with it immediately. Next, he attacked at the tree root as his body emitted a golden light.

Boom!

The entire root was being thrown upwards. There was a large boom, and the entire secret room was thrown out. The water in the lake was instantly drained by the root. Next, a gargantuan tree about 130 meters tall revealed itself before Jiang Feng.

On this tree was a hideous face with a savage expression. It had a pair of gigantic tree trunks as arms, and they grabbed the wooden house from it, opened its mouth, and consumed it without caring for the female ghosts within. Next, it slammed at Yan Chixia violently.

Seeing such a huge monster, Jiang Feng quickly blinked aside despite his surprise so that he wouldn't be caught in the crossfire. He also used Identify on the giant tree.

True Body of Laolao: Level 60 Spiritual Boss (Sealed)

HP: 800,000/1,500,000

Attack: 50,000 – 70,000 (Original attack of the True Body: 100,000 – 150,000)

Defense: 30,000 (55,000)

Skills: Drain Blood, Drain Spirit, Shapeshift, Illusion, Summoning, Variable Spiritual Techniques

"So, this is Laolao's true body! Looks like those talismans that Yan Chixia threw out were used to seal the true power of her true body. Otherwise, we couldn't fight it at all!" Jiang Feng gulped and said in his mind as he looked at the stats of the True Body of Laolao.

After recovering from his injuries, Yan Chixia's attack was around 73,000 to 83,000. After using Abbot Lanruo's Golden Body, his attack would have tripled. Meaning that his attack would reach around 200,000.

Logically speaking, an attack of 200,000 would be more than enough to slay Laolao as her HP was only at 800,000. It should have made it easy.

However, Yan Chixia didn't find it easy at all. Instead, he found it to be quite difficult.

After Laolao had become a gigantic tree, all the branches on her trunks had become individual life forms. Not only do they have different attack and defense, but their stats were also around those of level 50. With so many branches to defend her, it was very difficult for Yan Chixia to attack Laolao.

"The Dao of Humanity!" Yan Chixia was angered, and he yelled out in fury, the Red Sun Sword in his hand emitting fire and light.

"Dao Dao Dao Dao..."

Each time he said the word Dao, the Red Sun Sword would unleash a sharp blade made of light, and wherever the light went, dozens of branches would be slashed and broken.

"The Dao that can be understood as Dao, is not the Eternal Dao. The Dao of the Heavens and the Dao of the Earth, the Dao of Humanity and the Dao of the Sword..." The Red Sun Sword in his hand was kept on being waved. And as he waved, he would chant. And the lights were becoming more and more intensifying, and the branches that were blocking Laolao were being cut down.

"Variable Spiritual Technique!"

Seeing that, Laolao became even more furious and used her ultimate skill.

In the next moment, hundreds and thousands of skulls fly out from her tree branch, becoming vengeful ghosts and rushing towards Yan Chixia.

'No, we won't be able to kill Laolao if this continues!' He used his Float skill and flew up when he thought about that.

"Requiem!" He approached Laolao and used the Requiem skill from his Requiem Bell.

Laolao was immediately dazed after he used the Requiem skill.

Yan Chixia didn't have any crowd-control skills, so it was difficult for him to kill Laolao. But he had them. And because he was considered to be in the same party together with Yan Chixia, he was not affected by the Requiem skill.

Seeing that Laolao was dazed, Yan Chixia used Sword Manipulation and rushed in through the openings and then used the Red Sun Sword and slashed at Laolao's face.

"Dragon Howl!"

Requiem was only effective for no more than a second. Seeing that Laolao's branch arms were moving again, he then used the Dragon Howl skill.

"I have my own Dao!" Yan Chixia attacked her twice again and yelled out coldly, the Red Sun Sword violently stabbed into Laolao's face, who had only around 100,000 HP left.

Boom!

The moment that Yan Chixia killed Laolao, her 130-meter tall body blasted open.

As her body blasted open, two objects flew out.

One of them flew towards the ghost Xiao Lan who was hiding nearby and another towards Jiang Feng.

"What's that?"

When Jiang Feng saw that item flew towards him, he quickly flew towards it, caught it, and threw it into the Spatial Bracelet without looking. He then rushed towards Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan had also caught the object. After catching it and noticing Jiang Feng was heading for her, she gave him an angry stare, then disappeared into the air.

Chapter 95: Inheritor of the Spirits

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

'Hm? Why did she disappear suddenly? I remember that she didn't have any invisibility or hiding skills.'

'Shoot, it's Illusion!'

After Xiao Lan had disappeared, Jiang Feng flew toward where Xiao Lan had disappeared and looked around. Suddenly, he remembered something and he became furious.

If he didn't get it wrong, Xiao Lan was still close by when he reached where she was standing.

But because of the Illusion skill affecting his senses, he couldn't discover Xiao Lan.

By this point in time, Xiao Lan would have escaped far away.

"Xiao Lan, just you wait! When I catch you next time, I'm going to get you into a shtup!"

Jiang Feng immediately polymorphed and yelled out angrily.

When Xiao Lan, who was far away from the small house in the lake almost fell to the ground as she blushed.

Once she found her footing, she could only snort icily and said, "How shameless!"

Then she quickly escaped from the place.

...

"Little dragon, what is a shtup?" Yan Chixia walked towards Jiang Feng with a smile after he had killed Laolao.

"Er... nothing, it's just a skill..." Jiang Feng replied while scratching his head as he was feeling quite embarrassed when he heard Yan Chixia asked about it. He was no longer angry about it too.

"Thank you for your help just now. If it wasn't for you, I couldn't have killed Laolao that smoothly," Yan Chixia said.

"No need to thank me. It's what I should have done," Jiang Feng replied with a smile. "That's right, master. Now that you've killed Laolao, do you know where Xiao Qian is?"

Yan Chixia smiled and opened his palm. There was an imp the size of an egg in his palm.

"This is a lost soul. When Laolao was attacking me using the Variable Spiritual Technique, I caught one. It had been in Laolao's body, so it should know where Xiao Qian is."

With that, he then interrogated the little imp in his palm. The imp then told them where Xiao Qian was very quickly.

Xiao Qian had been offered to the Ancient Fiend of the Black Mountains by Laolao.

After it had finished, Yan Chixia then exerted force and the imp disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"This is going to be troublesome. Purgatory is located between the Mortal Realm and the Realm of the Dead. It is inhabited by monsters that are neither man nor ghost, and they have great power. They are beyond our abilities to fight!" Yan Chixia said with a frown.

"Then what should we do? Jiang Feng was also becoming agitated.

"Alright, come see me at Lanruo Temple once you have become a Spiritual Beast. We shall go to Purgatory together!" Yan Chixia told him after giving it some thought.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the second part of the quest "Yan Chixia's Request." You have received 300,000 experience points and one talisman.

The second part of the quest gave him double the experience of the first round, and also gave him a talisman.

Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching Level 30. You have received 3 free attribute points.

When he was at the siege, he had already killed tens of thousands of players and he had reached level 28 with 99% of his bar filled up. The 300,000 experience he had gained allowed him to crossover from level 29 to level 30.

Ding! System Prompt: Will you accept the third part of the quest "Saving Xiao Qian from Purgatory?"

"This should be the last part of the quest. Of course, I accept!"

The third part of the quest was to save Xiao Qian. That meant that as long as he went to save Xiao Qian, then he would have completed this quest.

But what he didn't expect that the plot would need so long to complete, needing him to become a Spiritual-Level Dragon. That means he had to reach Rank 16 first.

It was going to be a very long journey for him.

Unless he had a huge supply of Dragon Blood and Evolution Pill, otherwise he would need at least half a year to reach Rank 16, and maybe even longer.

"That's fine. I should use this time to become stronger and get more evolution pills and increase the powers of my followers."

As the plot quest was going to take a very long time to even start, he simply had to put it aside first and continue to increase his power.

Originally he wanted to find Laolao's corpse and transmute it, but her body exploded and the entire tree became ash. After he spoke to Yan Chixia, he then left.

After he had said his goodbyes to Yan Chixia, he then came to the giant tree under Lanruo Temple. He didn't interact with Ning Caichen, and took out the talisman that he received as a reward for completing the second round of the quest, as well as that thing that he got from Laolao.

Talisman of Ten Thousand Swords: Spiritual-Level Talisman

After activation, it will release ten thousand light swords. Each light sword will attack an enemy within 50 meters, dealing 30% of the user's attack as damage to them. One-time consumable.

"The plot quest reward didn't disappoint. With this talisman, I can clear entire groups with this," Jiang Feng's eyes shone with excitement as he looked at the Talisman of Ten Thousand Swords in his hand.

Now his attack was around 7,000. 30% of that number was around 2,000. Ten thousand light swords total damage could reach at least 10 million. Even if he were to encounter a group of thousand, he could use it to destroy them. One could see how high the value of this talisman was.

Then, he took out the item that flew out of Laolao's body with anticipation. It was an order tablet that was carved in a dragon shape, with the word "shifter" written on it.

Shifter Emperor's Order: Special Item

When in possession of a Shifter Emperor's Order, allows the owner to sense the location of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. With the table, it will be possible to rebuild the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor!

"Hot damn! This is the Shifter's version of the Guild Building Order! With this tablet, I can build a base for monsters!" Jiang Feng became excited as he looked at the tablet.

With the tablet, he could create a base that belonged to the Shifters, a Shifter Kingdom that belonged to him.

Looking at the Shifter Emperor's Order in his hand, he quickly calmed himself down and murmured with his head lowered, "I do have the Shifter Emperor's Order, but I still need to find the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. Not to mention rebuilding it will need a lot of money. Looks like I have to work hard to earn money now, or I won't even have the money to rebuild the city!"

"The duration of my Polymorph is 121 minutes, and I've spent around 10 minutes. Since I still have around a hundred minutes, I should go back to the city and forge some new equipment and begin earning some money!"

With that, he put away the Shifter Emperor's Order, took out a Town Portal Scroll, and returned to the Return Point in Imperial Dragon City.

...

Around 50 kilometers away Lanruo Temple was the Ghostmist Forest. Most of the monsters inside were from the Spirit race.

Xiao Lan hadn't been stopping since her escape and had come close to the Ghostmist Forest.

She turned her head back and saw that no one was following her, then took out the item that flew towards her from Laolao's body.

Inheritance of the Spirits: Special Item

On use, becomes the Inheritor of the Spirit, and may choose one gift from equipment, pill, spirit form, skills, and others at will.

Looking at the scroll that was emitting a ghostly aura, she broke it in her hand without hesitation.

In the next moment, a ghostly aura entered her body. And not only did her stats that were stolen by Jiang Feng through the use of the Yin-Yang Union of Joy was returned to her, but the stats were also then doubled.

Not only that, but her appearance had also even become more beautiful and she was emitting an aura that belonged to one of higher stations, and not that weak, temptress Xiao Lan.

"Give me the most powerful spirit form!" Xiao Lan licked her rosy lips with a cold smile.

At the end of her sentence, a black ball of light appeared before her. She ate and gulped it down after giving it just one glance.

Boom!

After she consumed that black ball of light, her stats continued to increase and her aura became even more intense.

At this time, all the ghosts and spirits from the Ghostmist Forest came out and cowered before her.

"Hoho. Little dragon, how dare you schemed against me last time and steal everything from me. Next time when I see you, I will drain you of all your blood and spirit!" Xiao Lan laughed out in an odd way with a voice as clear as silver bells, then flew into the Ghostmist Forest.

Chapter 96: Revisiting the Gnomes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Imperial Dragon City, the smithy.

Jiang Feng had gone to Uncle Fu and retrieved a stock of ores. He had been forging weapons non-stop in the Smithy since then.

The weapons that he had forged were all Dragonballs.

The Dragonballs could be used by both players and pets, and they were very practical. Just throw it at a target!

When he was forging it this time, he didn't spend a lot of time on it. All he did was hit it a dozen times and then used Smithing on it.

While he didn't strike them as much as he did last time, the success rate didn't get any lower since he was a Spiritual-level Smith.

Ding! System Prompt. Congratulations. You forged a White-Silver Dragonball!

As he had already forged his first Dragonball last time, the game had already recorded its information. That was why all he needed was to do exactly what he did last time to forge the Dragonball, and after he was successful, the system would automatically name them as Dragonballs.

"Whew. I managed to forge ten Dragonballs but only one of them was Yellow-Gold. That's fine I guess." Seeing that he only had a few minutes left, he took the weapon that he had forged and left the Imperial Dragon City.

...

"All stand in a line!" Jiang Feng said to his eight followers while holding eight Dragonballs in his hand at Xiling Valley.

As per his orders, and led by Yanhu and Heifeng, all of them queue up properly.

Seeing that, Jiang Feng nodded agreeably. He then took out the eight White-Silver Dragonballs and gave them to Yanhu, Heifeng, the Thunderclap Mantis, Haozi, Manwang, Houwang, Double-Headed Wolf King, and Bluecloud Panther.

AS for the Yellow-Gold Dragonball, he gave it to Xiao Longnu.

"In the next few days, I will help you improve your bloodline. Will bring you to a place that's somewhat more dangerous. I hope that you can learn how to use the Dragonball quickly." Jiang Feng said to his eight followers in a loud voice.

With that, he then put them all away and headed towards the back of the Xiling Valley.

Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations to Canaan Guild in successfully protecting their base. As this was the first time that a guild had been successfully built, Base Level increases by 1 and the Guild's money 200,000. We hope that the other guilds will continue in their effort.

Jiang Feng heard the system's announcement after he ran out for a moment and he was honestly surprised. He thought to himself, 'Looks like the Inheritor of the Infernals was quite strong to be able to help Canaan Guild to protect her base. Looks like I have to work harder too.'

The reason that he wanted to improve his follower's power was that he was going to look for the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.

He guessed that the Ancient City would be filled with dangers. If he wanted to control the entire Ancient City and rebuild the Shifter's city, it would be very difficult.

"Hopefully I could get some more Evolution Pills, and use them to increase my ranks."

After running for a while, he then arrived at the Greenwind Tiger's territory.

"Come out, Yanhu, Heifeng."

"See, told you our Boss loves us the most! He definitely would have us improve our Bloodline," Heifeng said proudly as soon as he came out.

"Stop wasting time and go kill some monsters!" Jiang Feng commanded the two tigers as he rolled his eyes at them.

"Roar! Little cubs, your uncles are here!" Yanhu and Heifeng yelled out as they headed towards the Greenwind Tiger after nodding.

...

In the next two days, he didn't do much and kept on improving the Bloodline of his followers.

To maintain their Bloodline's purity, he looked for monsters that were of the same race as his followers and fused them.

In two days, all eight of his followers had reached 100% on the Bloodline.

Perhaps because of his very high luck, he managed to get 4 Evolution Pills and 2 drops of Bloodline. Now, he had 5 Evolution Pills on him.

"Little Feng, if I take the Golden Pill and evolve into a Divine Beast, will that break my curse?" Xiao Longnu asked as she looked at the Golden Pill in Jiang Feng's hand and gave it some thought.

Jiang Feng looked at her, then shook his head and said, "No, your Bloodline and purity value aren't full yet, so you can't evolve. Eating it won't give you any benefits."

"Then, how do I increase my Bloodline and purity value?" She asked.

"I need to fuse you with other Dragon types and assimilate their bloodline!" Jiang Feng continued, "However, Dragons are generally too powerful. There's nothing we can do against them, and the fusion rate isn't that high either."

"Is there any other way?" Xiao Longnu asked again.

Looking at Xiao Longnu's eyes filled with expectancy, Jiang Feng couldn't help but asked with curiosity. "What's it with you today? Something feels off with you."

Xiao Longnu lowered her head embarrassingly, and whispered, "I am even weaker than Yanhu now, and I will only become your burden. I wish to break the curse on me so that I can help you better!"

'My dear, I also want to break your curse. Then, I would have an Immortal-level follower. But there's nothing I can do too, but where can I go find Divine Dragon Blood for you?' Jiang Feng felt touched after hearing Xiao Longnu's words but also felt helpless.

Ten Thousand years ago after the Great Divine-Infernal War, almost all the dragons as the Divine Beast Lever were dead. It would be exceedingly difficult to find a Divine Dragon.

"There is another way. You know, finding ten drops of Divine Dragon Blood," He replied even though Xiao Longnu kept on looking at him hopefully.

Xiao Longnu was somewhat disappointed and said, "I see. It seems that there is still no way to break the curse on this body?"

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Feng suddenly remembered something when he saw Xiao Longnu's disappointment, and his eyes were brimming, "Last time, when I transmuted the Earthcover Dragon, the System said that I failed my transmutation. That means the Earthcover Dragon's body must still be with the gnomes! If I could transmute it a few more times, maybe I could get some more Divine Dragon Blood!"

He was overcome with excitement when he remembered that, and decided to go visit the gnomes once more.

He returned Xiao Longnu back into the Qiankun Gourd, glanced at the map, and then ran towards the Crouching Dragon Range to the north from Greenwind Ridge.

In order to prevent himself from catching the attention of other players, he chose the small paths that were desolated. If there were too many people, he had no choice but to use the Float skill and fly into the air.

Most of the players had reached around Level 27 at this stage. There were many players at the territories of Level 20 to 30 monsters.

'Sometimes I really wish I could party up like the players and farm monsters, chat and probably go into a quarrel or something. Unfortunately, I'm just a monster now. I hope that I can one day become the most powerful being so that I could announce my identity!' He sighed as he thought to himself when he looked at the players that were in a party and fighting monsters.

At this point, he really wanted to grow and become something akin to a Divine Beast.

After a dozen minutes, he had finally reached the Crouching Dragon Range, near the Cave of the Undead.

He tried to remember the path that the Gnomes took. He avoided the Cave of the Undead and headed deeper into the Crouching Dragon Range.

Clang.

Clang.

When he was deep in the Crouching Dragon Mountains and passed a mine shaft, he heard the sounds of mining from within.

It was impossible to have any players here, then this must be where the Gnomes were mining. He went in to take a look.

As he heard the sounds of mining from within the mine, Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow and climbed into another shaft that was hidden better.
