Chapter 1: Rebirth! Unlimited Buff!
"I… have been reborn?"
Lin Bei rubbed his eyes and looked around at the familiar scene. He could not come back to his senses for a long time.
This was the male dormitory of Magic City University. It was where he had stayed ten years ago.
"2042, August 1st, 10:31…"
Lin Bei stared at the date on his phone and took a deep breath. "I have actually been reborn ten years back in time!"
Furthermore… August 1st was the time that the ninth server of the virtual game Second World opened!
Lin Bei's eyes flashed and he immediately got out of bed. After packing up in haste, he ran out of the dormitory and rushed to the spot where the game login tokens were sold near Magic City University.
In 2038, Second World was officially launched.
With extremely-high virtual realism, by 2042, the largest number of people being simultaneously online in the world had reached a terrifying one billion, making it the most influential online game in history!
Top players were even more famous than celebrities!
"This is an opportunity!"
Lin Bei was excited. As a reborn player, his mental skills and experience were ten years ahead of the other players!
If he used it well, it would not be difficult for him to become a top-notch player!
"This way… Mom, Dad, and Little Sister won't die!"
Grief flashed across Lin Bei's eyes.
Her younger sister was born with a rare illness. In order to treat her, her parents worked hard every day. They had many jobs and were extremely tired.
He was also very hardworking and worked hard to get into Magic City University, one of the most competitive universities in the Dragon Country. He originally wanted to accomplish something through learning and find a job to share the pressure of his family after graduation. However, who would have thought that a sudden car accident would directly shatter his entire family!
His parents died in a car accident, and his sister gradually became depressed because the family could not support the huge medical expenses. In the end, she died from illness, leaving Lin Bei alone.
"I will not allow such a thing to happen again!"
Lin Bei was extremely determined. "I want to become a top player! I want to build a team! With my ten years of experience and skills, I want to win the league title and obtain the huge prize money!"
He remembered very clearly that at the end of December 2041, in the fourth WWL World Championship of Second World, a shocking battle broke out between the two teams, Divine Descent and Nine Heavens.
After fighting nine rounds, the number of viewers online had increased to 1.5 billion!
This was equivalent to the total population of the entire Dragon Country!
Correspondingly, the profits from this competition were also very considerable. Just the advertising share alone had reached a terrifying one billion!
As the MVP of a normal competition, Deity Apollo from Divine Descent alone took 200 million, shocking the world!
And this was only the benefit of a single competition!
Lin Bei's breathing was heavy and his eyes were firm.
He would never miss such an opportunity having been reborn!
He wanted to turn everything around and let his parents live. He wanted his sister to live!
He wanted to earn money!
And let his family live a comfortable life!
And now, an opportunity was placed in front of him!
That was Second World!
In his mind, countless strategies and information about Second World flashed past: leveling locations, hidden missions, dungeon strategies, Boss distribution, PK techniques, synthesis formulas, and so on. He knew everything like the back of his hand!
"With these and the fact that the ninth server has just opened today, I can definitely seize the opportunity!"
…
Soon, Lin Bei arrived at the virtual helmet sales area near the school.
He glanced at his phone and saw that he only had 3,000 Ocean Blue coins. This was his living expenses for two months.
The lowest grade-D virtual gaming helmet was priced at 2,999 Ocean Blue coins.
These… were his parents' hard-earned money.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Bei bought a grade-D helmet.
"Once I enter the game, with my world-leading experience and skills, I can quickly earn more money and give my parents and sister a better life!"
Now that the server had just opened, it was time to race against time. It had already been more than two hours since the server opened at 8am. If he was slow by a step, he would be slow all the way. If he did not enter the game as soon as possible, even if he had more experience and skills than others, he might lose a lot of opportunities!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Bei hugged the box containing the login device, his heart heavy.
At eleven o'clock, Lin Bei returned to his dormitory on time and entered the game alone.
It was August 1st, and school would only start on September 1st, so the others had yet to return to school.
As for him, he originally wanted to go to school a month in advance to prepare and get a scholarship from the college's science and technology competition when school started, but now… he naturally threw this matter to the back of his mind.
A 2000-dollar college scholarship might not even be as valuable as top-grade equipment in Second World!
What he needed to do now was to go all out and earn money in the game!
[Iris recognition binding… binding successful!]
[Would you like to log into the game?]
"Log in!"
[Log-in successful! Please select the server you wish to enter!]
A huge light screen appeared in front of him. On it, nine balls of light flickered. The balls of light were of different colors. On each ball of light, a line of words floated quietly.
[1st Server: Divine Opening]
[2nd Server: Heavenly Advent]
…
[8th Server: Heavenly Canopy]
[9th Server: Heavenly Might (New)]
The nine servers were all different game worlds; from maps to monsters, they were all different!
Without another word, Lin Bei chose the new server, "Heavenly Might". Heavenly Canopy, the most recent server among the rest, had been launched for about half a year. The resources inside had been divided up. If he went in now, he would not have many chances.
"Enter Heavenly Might!"
[Selection successful! System connection in progress… Please wait…]
Soon, Lin Bei's figure was enveloped by the light emitted by the ball of light representing Heavenly Might. Then, the light in front of him circulated, and the world changed and he appeared in a dazzling hall.
In front of him stood six blurry figures. These were the six initial professions of the Second World. They were: Warrior, Mage, Priest, Archer, Assassin, and Summoner.
[Congratulations player, you are the 52,025,000th player to log into "Heavenly Might"!]
[Please name your character!]
"There are already 50 million players! As expected of Second World!"
It had only been three hours since the server opened at 8am, but so many players had already rushed into the new server. From this, it could be seen how popular Second World was on Ocean Blue Planet!
"The pressure is huge…"
Lin Bei muttered and finally locked his gaze on the frame in front of him.
In "Second World", there was a need to choose a name.
When players created characters, the System would immediately generate a talent. Some were powerful, some were weak, and there were all kinds of talents. There was almost no pattern to speak of.
But!
That was not the case!
There was actually a hidden algorithm for the birth of talents in Second World!
Before his rebirth, the world had just discovered this!
Of course, they could not crack these algorithms at all because the core program of Second World came from the ruins of an alien civilization. With the current technology of Ocean Blue Planet, forget cracking the algorithms, they could not even break through the outermost firewall!
However, it could be confirmed that the level of talent generated was related to the name when the character was created!
"Others don't know what kind of name can give them good talent, but… I know."
Lin Bei smiled. In his mind, the names of the top players from his previous life kept appearing. These people were at least level-A talents and were ridiculously strong.
However, in his impression, there was only one level-SSS talent.
Coincidentally, this person was a super big shot who had risen in the 9th Server's Heavenly Might!
"I hope he hasn't entered the game yet. Otherwise, I can only change to some level-SS talent."
Lin Bei prayed silently in his heart and entered the name of his character in the blank name column: [Inner Peace].
[Confirm character name?]
The System notification sounded again.
Lin Bei grinned.
There was no hint that the name was repeated. In other words, that person had yet to enter the game to create a character!
Heaven is on my side!
"Confirm!"
Lin Bei said with a smile.
One had to know that there was only one level-SSS talent in the entire server ten years later in his previous life!
But now… this level-SSS talent was going to be him!
[Character creation successful! Talent randomly generated… Please wait…]
[Congratulations to player "Inner Peace" for obtaining a level-SSS talent—Unlimited Buff!]
[Unlimited Buff: Level-SSS. All buffs on players will last for an unlimited amount of time.]
"Damn!"
Looking at his talent column, even as a reborn person, Lin Bei could not help but curse.
This talent… was too awesome?!
Chapter 2: This Priest Is A Noob! (1)
"This talent… is too powerful!"
Lin Bei's breathing quickened and his eyes lit up.
In fact, his gaming talent was very outstanding. In his previous life, although he entered the game a few years later than other players, with his extraordinary gaming talent, he only used three years to rise to the top 50,000 of the heavenly rankings!
However, he only had a level-B talent. Coupled with the difference in level and equipment at that time, no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to make up for the difference. Until he was reborn, the best ranking was only below 10,000!
His talent was poor and he started late. All sorts of reasons made it difficult for him to advance further!
However, it was different now!
His talent was level-SSS!
And the game had just started!
Coupled with his gaming understanding and skills that far exceeded the current players in the world, he would definitely be able to walk faster than others! Further than others!
[Player, please choose your profession!]
The six blurry figures representing the six basic professions in front of him lit up. As long as he touched the light with his consciousness, he could check the relevant introduction of the profession. If he reached out and touched it, he could select the profession.
He was already very familiar with these six professions. As for which one to choose…
Lin Bei frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before looking at the Priest.
Without a doubt, the Priest was the profession with the most buffs in the future.
Under normal circumstances, he did not need to change his profession to become a Priest. After all, he could just get a Priest to give him a buff. Anyway, he had the talent. He only needed to do it once to obtain a permanent buff.
But… this way, his talent was at risk of being exposed.
He did not want everyone to know about his talent.
"It's better for me to change my profession to Priest. This way, the risk can be greatly reduced. Moreover… this game has a profession expansion scroll. Players can continue to change their original professions. To me, it doesn't affect me much."
"Even without the profession expansion scroll, I know where to find the rebirth potion. With the rebirth potion, I can clean my points, be reborn and choose a new profession. It's also very convenient." 𝚋𝚎𝚍n𝚘v𝚎𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝
Lin Bei thought to himself, "Furthermore, in the early stages of the game, everyone's attributes are not much different. Even if it's a Priest, with my skills, it's not very difficult to level up quickly."
"Then it's decided!"
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes and stepped forward. He raised his hand and touched the light ball of the Priest profession.
[Selection successful! The profession of player "Inner Peace" is that of a Priest!]
The light ball shattered and turned into gentle energy that flowed into Lin Bei's body through his arm. In an instant, Lin Bei felt that his body seemed to have changed.
A pure white priest robe appeared on his body, and a staff slowly condensed in his hand.
In an instant, he felt as if there was energy surrounding him everywhere. It was very warm.
In his previous life, he was an Assassin and not a Priest, so he was very curious about this change.
He opened the attribute panel.
[Character: Inner Peace]
[Profession: Priest]
[Level: 1 (0/100)]
[Health Points: 100]
[Magic Power: 180]
[Physical Attack: 12]
[Magic Attack: 46]

[Magic Defense: 20]

[Potential Points: 1 (Obtains 1 point for every advancement by one level, used for increasing skill level)]
—Fixed attributes—
[Charm: 0 (Increases by 1 point for every 20 levels)]
[Luck: 0 (Increases by 1 point for every 20 levels)]
—Talent—
[Unlimited Buff: Level-SSS…]
—Skills—
None
[Can learn: Healing Spell, Discipline Spell]
Healing Spell: Level 1
Restores 120% of the target's Magic Attack (46 points) on Health Points (+20% lv)
Spellcasting Range: 20 meters (+2.5/lv)
Cooldown: 10 seconds (-1/lv)
Consumption: 15 Magic Power (+10/lv)
Discipline Spell: Level 1
Deals 150% Divine Attribute (69 points) Judgment Damage to target. (+20%/lv) (Judgment Damage: Ignores true defense damage)
Spellcasting Range: 30 meters (+1.25/lv)
Cooldown: 20 seconds (-2.5 seconds/lv)
Consumption: 15 Magic Power (+5/lv)
Lin Bei thought about it and used 1 Potential Point to learn Discipline Spell.
If he wanted to level up quickly in the early stages, the damage of the Discipline Spell was still very considerable. Moreover, the damage from Discipline Spell was true damage that ignored defense.
Although the 20-second cooldown was a little long, he did not care because he had a way to solve it!
As for the Healing Spell, it could only instantly return blood. Moreover, it was not a Buff-type skill. In addition, he did not plan to team up with others to level up, so he was not in a hurry to learn them.
Lin Bei glanced at the ordinary grade-1 beginner equipment and smiled.
In the Second World, all equipment had different grades.
From low to high, there were a total of nine grades: Normal, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Obsidian, and Extraordinary. In his previous life, the standard equipment for first-rate players was Platinum equipment, and the standard equipment for top players was Diamond equipment. As for equipment that was of Obsidian grade and above, even Lin Bei had never seen it before.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary monsters would only drop Normal-grade equipment. Only elite monsters would drop Iron-grade equipment. As for the higher grade Bronze equipment, only lord level Boss would drop them.
[Player, please choose your birthplace!]
Swoosh!
Chapter 3: This Priest Is A Noob! (2)
A list appeared in front of Lin Bei. It was a list of novice villages #0001~9999.
There were close to 10,000 novice villages, and now, a total of 50 million players had entered the Heavenly Might server. On average, there were 5,000 people in each novice village.
It was already quite a lot.
After all, the novice village was a place for most players before Level 20. After Level 20, everyone would go to a higher-level main city to develop and advance their profession. When the time came, more players would compete on the same stage.
As for the novice village, it was just a transition area for novices. It was already a lot to have 5,000 people.
Moreover, it had only been three hours since the server opened. After some time, the number of players would increase.
"Choose 1024, Holy Light Village."
Due to the fact that different server worlds were completely different, everything here was new except for professions and skills.
Similarly, the experience from the previous server was also very limited in the new server.
But Lin Bei was different. He knew a lot of information and strategies that others did not!
In the next 10 years, the players had come up with many starting sects. Holy Light Village was one of the top 10 popular starting novice villages in the Heavenly Might server, and it was especially suitable for Priests. Therefore, Lin Bei chose Holy Light Village without hesitation.
[Selection successful!]
Swoosh!
Lin Bei was enveloped by a beam of light and disappeared from the dazzling hall. In the next second, the world changed and he arrived at the Descent Square of the Holy Light Village.
As soon as he calmed down, a holy light aura enveloped Lin Bei.
[Ding! You have received the blessing of the Holy Light Village! Duration: 1 hour!]
[Blessing of the Holy Light Village: All attributes +1, health and magic power recovery 5 points per second. Duration ∞.]
"Haha! As expected!"
Lin Bei looked at the additional blessing status in his status bar and could not help but laugh. Under normal circumstances, players born in the Holy Light Village would receive a blessing from the Holy Light Village. It would last for 1 hour and all basic attributes +1.
However, Priests were different. In the Holy Light Village, not only would Priests receive blessings that increased all attributes by 1 point, but they would also receive continuous health and magic power recovery buffs!
All attributes increased, including luck and charm! 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦
Under normal circumstances, these fixed attributes could only be obtained with specific equipment or difficult hidden missions. Otherwise, they could only rely on the automatic increase of 1 point every 20 levels. But now, under the effect of Lin Bei's Unlimited Buff talent, coupled with the blessing of the Holy Light Village, he directly obtained 1 point of luck and 1 point of charm permanently!
The level of charm represented the probability of triggering hidden missions. Some missions could not be triggered if the charm was not enough.
As for luck, it was even simpler. All the game trigger mechanisms related to probability were related to it!
With high luck, not only would there be a higher probability of equipment and tools appearing, but the success rate of strengthening equipment would also be greatly increased. It could be said that charm and luck, two fixed attributes, determined the upper limit of a player's future in the game!
Think about it. With the same maneuvers and techniques, one person had a full set of Silver equipment while the other had a full set of Diamond equipment. Who would be stronger?
The answer was obvious.
"Not bad. With the blessing of this Holy Light Village, it will be much easier to level up in the novice village."
Lin Bei smiled and recalled some basic knowledge of Second World.
In Second World, there were two types of potions: ordinary potions and combat potions. The most common potion was ordinary potions that could only be used when one was out of combat. The more precious one was combat potions that could be used in combat. It was something countless players dreamed of!
However, under normal circumstances, stores would only sell ordinary potions. If players wanted to obtain combat potions, they had to obtain them through monster drops.
On the other hand, the blessed health and magic recovery effects of the Holy Light Village were not limited by these restrictions. In other words, even if he was in a combat state, Lin Bei could still enjoy this buff.
This way, it saved him a lot of trouble in terms of battle endurance.
However, it was precisely because of the harsh recovery conditions of Second World that Priests became an indispensable existence in almost all teams!
This was especially true for the pioneer teams. The supply could not meet the demand!
"The Fighting Shark Empire Guild is recruiting people! They are recruiting Priests in large numbers! They are recruiting as many as they can! There are many benefits!"
"Violent Warrior requests 2 Priests! 3, 2!"
"Grade-3 Great Sword, cheap! Only 100 Copper Coins!"
"…"
The surroundings of the Descent Square were noisy and crowded.
"This flow of people…. there should be more than 5,000 people, right?"
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment before he immediately reacted. The server had already been open for three hours, and the blessing effect of the Holy Light Village should have already spread. This way, a large number of Priests would gather here. In addition, the pioneer teams needed to gather a large number of Priests, and the other players would also flood into Holy Light Village. This way, it was not strange for so many people to appear.
"Priests are really popular."
Lin Bei sighed and prepared to take action.
If there were too many people, it was hard to prevent some of the benefits in his memory from being found in advance. If that was the case, he would suffer a huge loss.
Now was the time to race against time!
"Hey, bro, are you the newborn Priest? The blessing Buff is still present, right? Come to our Fighting Shark Empire Guild! There's a big guy to help you level up, and fly quickly!"
Chapter 4: This Priest Is A Noob! (3)
Just as Lin Bei was about to leave the square, a bald young man called Brother Chicken Is Big grabbed him.
The bald youth was fully equipped with grade-3 equipment, and a large sword on his back shone with a faint black light. It was an Iron-grade greatsword!
The surrounding players looked envious.
Lin Bei frowned slightly and looked at the bald young man. Although the latter tried his best to show kindness and smile at him, there was a trace of arrogance between his eyebrows, giving one a condescending feeling.
He had heard of this guild before. It was a third-rate guild that relied on Fighting Shark's live-streaming platform. However, it was said that its reputation was ruined because the upper echelons of the guild bullied the female players in the guild. In the end, it gradually declined.
There were hundreds of such small guilds under the Fighting Shark platform, but Lin Bei did not care. He was in a hurry to find a hidden item. That item was the key to his choice to descend on the Holy Light Village!
It would be troublesome if someone else beat him to it because of the delay!
"Sorry, I don't want to join the guild. I'm used to working alone." 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗻𝐞𝘁
With that, he ignored the stunned bald youth and rushed out of the square.
Damn!
So damned?
The bald young man came back to his senses and looked at Lin Bei's back as he ran away. He said, "Damn, he's just a noob. Why is he so arrogant? He's only Level 1, but he's not learning Healing but learning Discipline Spell. He's just waiting to die!"
"Brother Chicken, that's awesome. How can you tell that kid has learned Discipline Spell at Level 1?"
Beside him, a lackey asked in disbelief because he could not tell at all.
"Hehe, isn't that simple? You can even tell at a glance that he's an expert from the old server!"
The bald young man looked at his lackey beside him and said smugly, "There are two ways to advance in the profession of the Priest. One is by healing, and the other is by judging. That kid just now had faint-red pupils. It's obvious that he learned the judging-type of Discipline Spell! This noob wants to level up in solo? Although Discipline Spell has high damage, the cooldown is a full 20 seconds! Do you know what is the outcome for going solo like this?"
"Huh? Isn't that courting death?"
The lackey asked.
"That's right. Just wait and see. He'll be sent back to the rebirth point in five minutes at most! Those Goblins are not to be trifled with!"
The bald young man curled his lips and smiled. "Let's go. Let's continue to recruit Priests. According to the experience of the previous servers, the first Boss will arrive within 6 hours of the server opening. Let's hurry up and prepare. Our guild will definitely get the first killing of the Boss in the Holy Light Village!"
"Yes! Brother Chicken!"
The lackey looked excited, as if he had already obtained the first killing of the Boss!
…
Lin Bei ran all the way to a ruin outside the Holy Light Village.
"It's here!"
Lin Bei looked around. At this moment, there were more than a dozen players exploring the ruins, but they found nothing.
"Looks like it's still there!"
Lin Bei heaved a sigh of relief. He walked around the ruins and determined the direction. He came to an empty corner and squatted down. After digging in the weeds for a long time, his eyes lit up and he found a black stone statue.
The stone statue was only the size of a palm. It seemed to be a blurry woman kneeling and praying.
"This is it!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. He looked around warily and carefully left the ruins, sneaking into the forest.
After confirming that it was safe, Lin Bei climbed up a dense tree, took out the black stone statue, and used the Discipline Spell on it!
[Beep! You have sensed the aura of Holy Light! Elena's Prayer has been successfully activated! Duration: 2 hours!]
[Elena's Prayer: All the damage of Holy Light skills is increased by 100%. All the cooldown time of Holy Light skills is reduced by 90%. Duration: ∞.]
"Haha, it's settled!"
Lin Bei looked at the Buff in his status bar and grinned.
This way, he would obtain the greatest benefit of the Holy Light Village!
With this Buff, the cooldown time of his Discipline Spell was reduced to 2 seconds! Coupled with the 100% increase in damage, even if he held a rubbish novice staff and casted Discipline Spell, none of the level-1 Goblin soldiers could withstand it!
"Adventurer, can you help me?"
Just as Lin Bei was immersed in the joy of obtaining the Buff, the black stone statue in his hand seemed to come alive and made a request.
Chapter 5: Elena's Request! Divine Buff! (1)
"Eh?"
Lin Bei came back to his senses and looked at the black stone statue in his hand. He was a little surprised.
He had seen the strategy, but it did not say that this stone statue could activate a mission.
[You have triggered the only hidden mission: Elena's Request! Mission Difficulty: Nightmare Level. Do you accept it?]
Nightmare-level hidden mission?
Lin Bei was stunned. Then, he immediately reacted and chose to accept the mission.
In the game, the difficulty of the mission was divided into five levels: Normal, Difficult, Nightmare, Hell, and Purgatory. The higher the level of the mission, the more generous the rewards!
The only hidden mission was even rarer!
"To… the Fishermen's Bay in the east of the Holy Light Village… the cave… the magic crystal…"
The black stone sculpture's voice was intermittent, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
[Elena's Request (Only hidden, Nightmare Level)]
[Mission Details: Go to the hidden cave in the Fishermen's Bay to investigate.]
[Mission Reward: Profession Expansion Scroll, 10,000 EXP, 100 gold coins]
[Punishment for failure: None]
"It's actually a profession expansion scroll! Good stuff."
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he was secretly happy. With the profession expansion scroll, he could have a second profession.
However, the second job change had to be done in the main city. In other words, he had to be at Level 20. Right now, he was only Level 1.
"Looks like I have to hurry up and level up."
Lin Bei jumped down from the tree and looked at the black stone statue that was about to dissipate. "Don't worry, I'll help you."
"Thank you… adventurer… May the Holy Light be with you…"
Swoosh!
A pure white light flew up from the black stone statue and landed on Lin Bei.
[Your attitude has attracted Elena's favor! Elena's favor +20. Current favor: 20!]
[You have received Elena's Blessing. Within 2 hours, the free attribute points and potential points obtained would increase by 100%!]
[Elena's Blessing: Attribute points and potential points obtained would increase by 100%, duration ∞.]
Damn! I've made a killing!
Lin Bei looked at Elena's blessing and was dumbfounded.
This Buff was a divine Buff!
Ordinary players could only obtain 5 free attribute points and 1 potential point when leveling up, but now, he had doubled it!
And this Buff was permanent!
It was awesome!
Under normal circumstances, a two-hour Buff would only allow players to level up by two or three levels even if they tried their best. But even so, this Buff was insane enough!
Lin Bei's Buff would be effective forever!
It was even more awesome!
"Phew, I didn't expect to receive such an awesome Buff just by being polite. Looks like the 1 point of charm has taken effect."
Lin Bei looked at the 1 charm point bonus he had obtained from the blessing of the Holy Light Village and sighed.
This was the power of a fixed attribute!
"With this Buff, I have more room to maneuver!"
Lin Bei pondered for a moment and prepared to return to the Holy Light Village. There was still a hidden treasure chest there that had not been opened. He was in a hurry just now to find the black stone statue and did not have the time to open the treasure chest. Now that he had time, he could go back and open the treasure chest. He could also buy some potions that could increase Buff with the game coins he obtained from opening the treasure chest to increase his status before going back to level up.
"Fishermen's Bay… If I remember correctly, that place seems to be a training area for those above Level 10, right? There seems to be… an Instance Dungeon, right?"
Lin Bei muttered, "With the profession expansion scroll, I can change my second profession. My luck is really good."
Under normal circumstances, there were only two ways to obtain a profession expansion scroll. The first was to accept a hidden quest like Lin Bei now and have a chance to obtain it. As for the second method, one had to kill a King-tier Boss to have a certain chance to obtain it.
A King-tier Boss was a level higher than a lord-tier Boss. Under normal circumstances, it was at least Level 30. It was not something players could deal with at this stage.
Moreover, although there was a certain probability of drops, the probability was ridiculously low. In his previous life, someone had calculated that an average of 100 King-tier bosses could only drop about 5 profession expansion scrolls!
5% chance!
One had to know that this was a King-tier Boss! It was ridiculously strong! In his previous life, it was known as the "killing engine"!
Ordinary solo players had no chance of killing him.
Even those guild players needed to form an elite team of at least a thousand people to have a chance to "wrestle" with the King-tier Bosses.
Apart from that, King-tier Bosses were extremely rare. Even if one had the ability to kill them, he might not be able to find them.
Therefore, although the 5% drop rate did not seem low, the difficulty of obtaining it was already very ridiculous.
As for the hidden mission?
It was an even more illusory existence. It was not a stable path to produce profession expansion scrolls.
Lin Bei did not go deep into the forest. Instead, he chose to return to the Holy Light Village. To him, killing monsters for another half an hour was meaningless. What he needed to do was to stack buff himself!
Sharpening a knife does not delay the cutting of firewood!
Soon, Lin Bei returned to the Holy Light Village and arrived at the Holy Light Church in the west. A group of players surrounded the church, but the guards at the door did not give in. They could not enter the church at all.
As for barging in?
These Holy Light Guards were at least Level 30 NPCs. In terms of attributes, they were comparable to a Level 30 lord-tier Boss. Not to mention these people, even if the entire Holy Light Village gathered together, they would not stand a chance!
Chapter 6: Elena's Request! Divine Buff! (2)
Moreover, these Holy Light Guards were only the weakest existences in the Holy Light Church.
There were even more powerful Holy Light Paladins inside. That was a king-tier Boss. One of them was enough to wipe out the current players of the Holy Light Village!
Lin Bei looked from afar and shook his head with a smile. He did not go up to join in the fun. Instead, he walked around and arrived at an abandoned courtyard on the side of the Holy Light Church. He climbed onto a tree, climbed over the wall, and landed in the abandoned courtyard.
After looking around and seeing that there were no players, he quickly came to the dry well in the small courtyard and jumped in.
At the same time, after Lin Bei silently counted to ten, he suddenly used the Discipline Spell below!
Swoosh!
A golden light lit up, illuminating the surrounding pitch-black space.
Lin Bei used the temporary light and instantly discovered a prismatic stone on the wall of the well. Without a word, he reached out and instantly grabbed the stone in his hand.
At the same time, a System notification sounded in his ears.
[Congratulations to the player for discovering a hidden Silver Treasure Chest!]
[Player Inner Peace has discovered the first hidden treasure chest of Heavenly Might. System announcement is about to be released. Do you want to show your name?]
With a splash, Lin Bei fell into the well water.
"It's actually a Silver-grade hidden treasure chest! I've made a killing!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, he chose to remain anonymous and opened the Silver Treasure Chest.
[Obtained Mithril Scepter (Silver)!]
[Received 100 gold coins!]
[Obtained Intermediate Combat Recovery Potions x2!]
"Silver-grade equipment! And it's a scepter! There's even a combat recovery potion! And it's an intermediate-grade one! Haha!"
Lin Bei looked at his inventory and was very satisfied.
Mithril Scepter (Lv.5 Silver)
Attributes: Magic Attack +170
Special Effect: 1. Magic Critical Hit Rate +5%; 2. Magic Strength Recovery 10 Magic Points per second for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.
Double special effects, Blue Critical Hit Magic Staff!
Good stuff!
Lin Bei licked his lips. Double special effects equipment was already considered top-notch among Silver equipment, let alone these two special effects.
Under normal circumstances, spells would not be able to deal critical hits. However, the existence of a Magic Critical Hit increased a mage's ability to damage by a level. In addition, the existence of Magic Strength Recovery provided a mage with endurance. Coupled with the extraordinary magic attack power, it was definitely a top-notch existence among Silver-tier!
Moreover, it had only been a few hours since the server opened. It was not an exaggeration to call such equipment a "divine weapon"!
"It's a pity that I can only be equipped with it at Level 5, but it doesn't matter. It's only Level 5. I'll be there soon!"
Lin Bei smiled and turned to the Intermediate Combat Recovery Potions.
[Intermediate Combat Recovery Potion: Combat Potion. After using it, one would recover 100 Health Points per second for 10 seconds.]
Good stuff!
Lin Bei did not hesitate and drank a bottle.
In the status bar, there was indeed another permanent Buff for "Intermediate-grade Combat Recovery"!
[Intermediate-grade Combat Recovery: Restores 100 Health Points per second. Duration: ∞.]
Lin Bei looked at the effect of the Buff and was in a good mood.
His current maximum Health Points were 100 points. With this Buff, he could recover to full Health Points in one second. When he killed monsters, he did not need to move at all. This way, he could greatly increase the efficiency of killing monsters. It was very awesome!
"It's about time to drown myself. I hope the equipment doesn't drop, or I'll have to come back again."
Lin Bei looked up at the straight well. With his current attributes, it was impossible for him to climb up, so he chose to drown himself.
As for the EXP drop after death?
He was not worried at all. He was only Level 1 and had not leveled up at all. He had not suffered any losses at all. The only thing he needed to worry about was probably the combat potions and Mithril Scepter in his bag.
It was best not to drop them. Otherwise, he would have to make another trip to retrieve them.
As for the disappearance of equipment, the equipment dropped after a player died could last for 2 hours. Meanwhile, it would only take him at most 3 minutes to rush from the rebirth point to this ancient well. He did not have to worry at all.
At most, he would be unlucky and make a few more trips.
Lin Bei dove into the well water without holding his breath, waiting for death.
…
In the Holy Light Village, Brother Chicken is Big had already recruited no less than twenty Priests.
At this moment, he was complacent and arrived at the gathering point of the Fighting Shark Empire.
The guild leader of Fighting Shark Empire, Flying Dragon in the Sky, looked at the group of Priest players behind Brother Chicken Is Big and smiled.
"Well done. Including the Priests on your side, we've already recruited 100 Priests. That's about enough!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky patted his shoulder and praised.
"Haha, of course. Brother Dragon, when we do things, we have to pay attention to efficiency!"
Suddenly, a loud System notification sounded in the sky above the Holy Light Village.
[System Notification: Player "Anonymous" discovered Heavenly Might's first hidden treasure chest (Silver) in Holy Light Village!]
Whoosh!
The sudden System notification caused the entire Holy Light Village to boil!
"Which damn big shot is this? It's only been a few hours since the server opened, right? He actually discovered a hidden treasure chest! And it's even Silver-grade!"
"Silver Treasure Chest! At least reward one Silver equipment! The current Heavenly Might has just opened its server. It can be said to be a divine weapon!"
"Boss! Please carry me!"
"Lucky player, please carry me!"
In the Holy Light Village, all the players were extremely envious. Even if such an existence was not a skilled big shot, it was still an existence with monstrous luck!
Chapter 7: Elena's Request! Divine Buff! (3)
If they could team up to level up, would they be afraid of lacking equipment?
Flying Dragon in the Sky was stunned for a moment before he suddenly became excited. "I didn't expect such a big shot to exist in our Holy Light Village! Little Chicken, send someone to investigate! If you find him, don't be rash! See if you can rope him in! Remember, don't offend him!"
"Brother Dragon, I understand! I've always had good foresight. How could I offend such a big shot?"
Brother Chicken Is Big rubbed his bald head and said with a smile.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past, causing his smile to freeze.
"What happened to you?"
Flying Dragon in the Sky noticed his abnormality and asked.
"Haha, I'm fine. I just saw a Level 1 noob Priest who had learned the Discipline Spell! He even rejected my invitation! He had just been revived at the rebirth point and lost all his equipment. He's running around in his underpants!"
Brother Chicken laughed and pointed in a direction.
Everyone looked over and immediately burst into laughter.
"Haha, everyone, his back view is so funny!"
"That's right! He actually learned Discipline Spell at level-1. I can't laugh anymore! He's indeed a noob!"
The 30 Priests that Brother Chicken had recruited laughed out loud. A level-1 Priest learning Discipline Spell was like a fighter jet among rookies!
"Haha, it's just a novice competition. Everyone, ignore it! Let's gather our manpower and level up quickly! After a while, the Boss of the Holy Light Village will probably be refreshed. We have to take it down!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky took a quick glance at the running figure and ignored him. It was just a novice competition. He was glad that the other party had rejected his guild's invitation. If he brought such a good Priest to kill the Boss, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause!
…
At the same time, the few Holy Light Village guilds who were gathering their manpower and preparing to push the Boss heard the System announcement and looked over, making corresponding countermeasures.
[Unparalleled Windcloud: Team Windcloud is recruiting! Brother Luck, I have the intention to contact you! Professional teams will help you level up and fly!]
[Green Collar: Lucky Boss! Please carry me!]
[Flying Dragon in the Sky:Brother Luck! Welcome to Fighting Shark Empire!]
The three major guilds that had gathered in the Holy Light Village all sent out a regional recruitment notice. As long as it was a player in the Holy Light Village, they would be able to see it.
Such a regional message cost 1 Gold Coin, which was equivalent to 100 Ocean Blue Coins. It was not something ordinary players could afford.
Lin Bei, who was wearing a pair of shorts, looked at the regional news and smiled faintly. He ignored it and ran towards the prop shop of the Holy Light Village.
He was in a good mood. Although he had dropped a pile of trash equipment, he had not dropped the Silver scepter or the Combat Potion. Moreover, he was lucky. He had only dropped a few hundred Copper Coins. Currently, to him, it did not matter at all.
In Second World, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 bronze coins. Now, he had 99 gold coins, which was at least equivalent to 9,900 Ocean Blue coins!
"I've only been in the game for less than half an hour and I've already earned almost 10,000 Ocean Blue coins! Moreover, the server has just opened, so the purchase price of gold coins might not be just 100 Ocean Blue coins! It might be even higher!"
Lin Bei was overjoyed. At this rate, he would soon earn more Ocean Blue coins!
When the time came, his parents would not have to continue running around!
His sister's illness would also be treated!
Lin Bei clenched his fists tightly, his gaze firm.
"This is only the first step!"
…
In the Holy Light Village, the prop shopkeeper looked at the shiny gold coins on the counter and smiled.
"Sir, this is the potion you wanted. Keep it properly!"
The shopkeeper smiled and took out a wooden box. He pushed it in front of Lin Bei and gave him a thumbs up. "Little brother, you're so generous. This is the first time I've seen someone so generous among those who descended! I think highly of you!"
Swoosh!
A golden light descended and enveloped Lin Bei.
[Shopkeeper Jin's blessing! Duration: 1 hour! During the blessing period, drop rate +100%, drop quality +1!]
[Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing: Drop Rate +100%, Quality +1, Duration ∞]
Lin Bei was speechless.
It's only been half an hour, right? I've already obtained two divine Buffs?
'Well…'
"I've high hopes for you, boy!"
Hearing the shopkeeper's praise, Lin Bei left the prop shop in a daze.
Chapter 8: Level 5 Discipline Spell! Lord-tier Boss Descends! (1)
After leaving the prop store, Lin Bei ran all the way to Gloomy Jungle.
Along the way, he looked at his Buffs again and again.
"Any one of these Buffs is ridiculously strong."
Lin Bei sighed in his heart. Elena's Prayer had greatly reduced his cooldown time and increased his attack power. Elena's Blessing allowed him to obtain attribute points and potential points that far exceeded ordinary people. Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing allowed him to have an extremely high probability of killing monsters and productivity.
Each of these three Buffs was comparable to a powerful talent!
And he had three at once!
And these were only his gains from entering the game for half an hour!
Unbelievable!
Apart from that, with the other Buffs, his current endurance was also very strong. With these Buffs, not to mention an experienced expert like him, even if he casually pulled a normal player over, it would be easy for him to level up quickly!
After all, he could recover 105 Health Points every second. All he needed to do was to stand still and use his skills. He did not need to move at all!
Moreover, there was no need to form a team. If he enjoyed the experience alone, his leveling speed would definitely be shockingly fast!
"It's time to level up!"
Lin Bei thought to himself and quickened his pace.
At the same time, he did not forget to open a pile of boxes of potions that he had bought from the prop shop for 5 gold coins and began to drink them desperately.
[Using Novice Magic Power Regeneration Potion, Magic Recovery 10 points per second for 10 seconds! Unlimited Buff effective! Duration extended to ∞!]
[Using Novice Mobility Potion, movement speed is increased by 20%, duration 10 seconds! Unlimited Buff effective! Duration extended to ∞!]
[Using Novice Tenacity Potion, Physical Defense +20…]
[Using Novice Health Potion, Maximum Health +100…]
[Using Novice Magic Power Potion, Maximum Magic Power +100…]
[Used Novice Magic Strength Potion, Magic Strength +5…]
[Used Novice Constitution Potion, Constitution +5…]
[Using Novice Agility Potion, Agility +5…]
As he ran, Lin Bei drank non-stop. The Buffs on his body were stacked layer by layer, and the duration of the Buffs became unlimited under the effect of his talent!
"Hahaha, this feels great!"
Lin Bei couldn't help but laugh. As expected of a level-SSS talent, he was ridiculously powerful!
With this, all the Buffs could be extended indefinitely. As time passed, his Buffs would increase, and his attributes would definitely increase.
However, it was a pity that Buffs of the same type seemed to replace each other. High-level Buffs would automatically replace low-level Buffs. Just like just now, he used an Intermediate Health Potion and his maximum Health Points increased by 1,000 points, but the 100 Health Points increase provided by the Novice Health Potion was directly replaced.
This made Lin Bei feel a little regretful.
However, the flaws did not hide the beauty. This Unlimited Buff talent was already powerful enough.
It was worth mentioning that the blessing of the Holy Light Village also had a recovery effect, but it was not replaced by other Buffs with a recovery effect. Therefore, Lin Bei guessed that only Buffs with the same name would be replaced. Of course, this was only a guess. As for the specifics, it remained to be tested.
"However, with my current attributes, it's enough to farm monsters and level up." 𝚋ed𝚗𝚘𝚟e𝚕.𝚗et
He glanced at his attribute list. After taking a bunch of potions, his attributes had changed quite a bit.
Health Points: 1,160
Magic Power: 340
Magic Attack: 58
Physical Defense: 20
Health Recovery: 105/s
Magic Recovery: 15/s
Then, Lin Bei opened the leaderboard and took a look. The first place on the Heavenly Might leaderboard was a player called Forest Wood. He was Level 6 and had 42% EXP.
"Not bad, but with me around, it won't be long before the first place is changed!"
Lin Bei chuckled and stepped into Gloomy Jungle.
Gloomy Jungle was a training area for those below Level 10 in Holy Light Village. The monsters here were mainly Goblins, Feline Demons, and Minotaurs. Lin Bei glanced at his Level 1 Discipline Spell, 150% Magic Power damage. Coupled with the 100% Holy Light damage bonus from Elena's Blessing, he only needed to use Discipline Spell to deal 174 true damage to the target.
"Hmm… In terms of Health Points, among the same level, the Minotaur is the highest, followed by the Goblin, and the Feline Demon is the lowest. In that case, it's more cost-effective for me to kill the Feline Demons."
Lin Bei pondered for a moment and finally made a decision. "I'll take out the Level 3 Feline Demon first. The maximum health of a Level 3 Feline Demon is only 170 points. I could just kill it instantly."
Soon, Lin Bei arrived at the Poisonous Swamp area in Gloomy Jungle.
[Attention! Affected by the poisonous fog. Health Point -1 per second!]
"Haha."
Lin Bei smiled faintly and ignored the effects of the poisonous fog. One point of poison damage was nothing compared to his current 105 Health Point recovery.
If other Level 1 players came here, they might be flustered, but it did not affect him at all.
[Feline Demon (LV.3)]
"Found it!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. He leaned against a big tree and looked at the jungle in the distance. Five brown Feline Demons were wandering around.
Discipline Spell!
'-174!'
Swoosh!
Golden holy light descended, and a Feline Demon instantly fell to the ground.
[You have killed a Feline Demon (Lv.3). You have received 24 experience points!]
The other four Feline Demons reacted instantly. After meowing, they quickly ran in Lin Bei's direction.
However, Lin Bei was calm and did not panic at all. After the two-second cooldown period of the Discipline Spell ended, another Discipline Spell landed on a Level 3 Feline Demon at the front.
Chapter 9: Level 5 Discipline Spell! Lord-tier Boss Descends! (2)
'-174!'
[You have killed a Feline Demon (Lv.3). You have received 24 experience points!]
Discipline Spell!
'-174!'
In less than five seconds, he used Discipline Spell three times in a row and killed three Feline Demons. At this moment, the remaining two Feline Demons barely reached Lin Bei.
Level 1 Discipline Spell had a casting range of 30 meters. Only the Feline Demons were faster. If it were the Minotaur, it would probably take twice as long to rush over.
"Meow!"
The two Feline Demons cooperated well. They leaped out from left and right, and their sharp claws attacked Lin Bei's left ribs and right shoulder!
However, such cooperation was nothing in Lin Bei's eyes.
Lin Bei moved his feet slightly. Instead of retreating, he took half a step forward. At the same time, he tilted his body and easily dodged the attacks of the two Feline Demons!
However, this was not the end!
As Lin Bei dodged, he quickly waved the novice magic staff in his hand and hit the back of the neck of the Feline Demon on the left!
-48! (Critical Weakness Hit!)
-48! (Critical Weakness Hit!)
Swoosh!
The left Feline Demon's Health Points instantly decreased by less than half!
Not only that, but it also lost its balance and fell to the ground.
Lin Bei rushed forward with his magic staff and added two hits.
With two bangs, the Level 3 Feline Demon died under Lin Bei's sudden blows!
"What a pity. The physical damage is too little. Although it triggered a critical hit, it still required four consecutive hits to resolve. If he were an Assassin, they would have been dealt with in a single move."
Lin Bei sighed. At this moment, the Discipline Spell's cooldown period was over. Without a word, he landed on the last Feline Demon and killed it.
A golden light lit up.
[You've leveled up!]
[You have obtained 5 basic attribute points!]
[You have obtained 1 potential point!]
[Detected Elena's Blessing! You have received an additional 5 basic attribute points and 1 potential point!]
In less than ten seconds, he had reached Level 2.
After all, in Second World, advancing from Level 1 to Level 2 was the easiest. It only required 100 experience points. It was a small test.
As for the experience to advance from Level 2 to Level 3, it directly went up by ten times, requiring a total of 1,000 points!
Take the Feline Demons that he had just killed for example. A Level 3 Feline Demon gave 20 EXP. If a five-man team with an average of Level 2 came here to kill Feline Demons to level up, they would only get 4 EXP per person. In other words, to advance to Level 3, they would need to kill a total of 250 Level 3 Feline Demons!
Coupled with the fact that they were in the Poisonous Swamp, they would also suffer 1 poisonous fog damage per second. To ordinary players, this was simply a nightmare!
However, to Lin Bei, who was killing monsters above his level alone, it was just killing monsters for a few more minutes. It did not affect him much. It was just a pity for the other players who had teamed up to level up.
Lin Bei grinned and did not think too much about it. He directly added all 10 free attribute points to the Magic Strength attribute. At the same time, all 2 potential points were used to strengthen the Discipline Spell.
With that, his Magic Attack had increased to 68 points, and his Discipline Spell had increased to 190%. In other words, his Discipline Spell could now deal more than 250 points of damage!
"This way, I can farm Level 5 Feline Demons."
Lin Bei did not go deep into the Poisonous Swamp immediately. Instead, he patiently put away the items dropped by the five Feline Demons.
There were a total of 3 pieces of Iron-grade equipment and 15 bronze coins.
"Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing is indeed powerful. Originally, these ordinary monsters could only drop ordinary equipment, but under the effect of 'Drop Quality +1', they actually dropped Iron equipment!"
Lin Bei looked at the three pieces of Iron equipment, one robe, one pair of shorts, and one ring.
Feline Demon Robe (LV.2)
Quality: Iron
Attributes: Defense +12
Special Effect: 1. Magic Strength +5, 2. Magic Strength +5
Feline Demon Shorts (LV.2)
Quality: Iron
Attributes: Defense +6
Special Effect: 1. Magic Strength +2, 2. Magic Strength +3
Feline Demon Ring (LV.2)
Quality: Iron
[Special Effect: 1. Strong Poison: When attacking a target, there is a 3% chance that the target will be poisoned. -20 Health Points per second for 10 seconds.]
The attributes were not bad!
Not to mention the two pieces of equipment, they provided a total of nearly 20 points of defense. Moreover, it was a special effect of a double increase of magic power. It directly provided Lin Bei with 15 points of Magic Strength attribute bonus!
However, the Feline Demon ring made Lin Bei fall into deep thought.
"Does strong poison count as a Buff? From the look of it, since it's effective against the enemy, … isn't it beneficial for me to hurt the enemy? If that's the case, will the duration become unlimited?"
Lin Bei's eyelids twitched and his breathing quickened.
At the thought of this, he could not hold back anymore. He put on his new equipment and continued to enter the Poisonous Swamp to farm monsters!
A few minutes later, the poison finally took effect on a Feline Demon!
[Strong Poison: Reduces target's Health Points by 20 points per second. Duration: ∞.]
"Haha! As expected!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. He had a new understanding of his Unlimited Buff talent.
"From the looks of it, not only will it poison, it will also burn and bleed… All these Debuff damages to the enemy will be greatly improved under the effect of my talent!"
Lin Bei's eyes flickered. He was already thinking about whether he should get another debuff set to strengthen his damage output.
As time passed, as he went deeper into the Poisonous Swamp, the damage of the poisonous fog had increased from 1 point to 5 points, and the surrounding Feline Demons had also increased to Level 5!
Chapter 10: Level 5 Discipline Spell! Lord-tier Boss Descends! (3)
At the same time, his level had increased to Level 3!
He added all his Magic Strength points and potential points to strengthen his Discipline Spell.
Currently, he was already wearing five Iron-grade Feline Demon equipment, which provided him with a total of 25 Magic Strength attribute bonuses!
At this moment, his magic attack had exceeded a hundred, reaching a terrifying 138 points!
Of course, this was not the main point. Most importantly, his Discipline Spell had finally reached the maximum level. The terrifying bonus of Level 5 Discipline Spell had allowed his current damage to increase terrifyingly again!
Discipline Spell: Level 5 (Maximum)
Deals 230% Divine Attribute (317 points) Judgment Damage to target. (Judgment Damage: Ignores true defense damage)
Spellcasting Range: 35 meters
Cooldown: 10 seconds
Consumption: 35 Magic Power
With more than 300 points of Judgment Damage, coupled with the 100% damage bonus from Elena's Prayer, he could deal more than 600 damage points to the enemy with just one Discipline Spell!
And now, he was only Level 3!
Other than that, Elena's Prayer also had a 90% cooldown period reduction. Originally, Discipline Spell had a cooldown period of 10 seconds, but to Lin Bei, it was only 1 second!
"Terrifying."
Lin Bei thought to himself.
Now, how could he still look like a Priest hiding behind the crowd and healing his teammates? He was completely a mobile magic cannon with explosive damage!
Ordinary players were only around Level 3 now. Even if they were Warriors with all their Constitution points added, they would probably only have more than 300 Health Points. Before his Discipline Spell, which would deal 600 damage points, they were nothing!
"This Judgment Damage ignores defense. How shameless!"
Lin Bei muttered to himself, "This Priest… seems to be a bit more fun? Will I still need to clean some points in the future? Forget it, I'll just farm more profession expansion scrolls and continue to play."
…
1st Server, Divine Opening Battlefield.
Chen Changsheng was hit by an enormous fireball and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
"Hehe, you lost again. Remember to transfer 1 million Ocean Blue coins to me later. Also, if there's such a good thing next time, remember to call me!"
A golden-haired man covered in red armor fell from the sky and landed on the ground. He lowered his head to look at Chen Changsheng, who was lying motionless on the ground like a dead dog, and stepped forward.
BANG!
-10,086! (Critical hit!)
[The battle is over! Victor—Deity Apollo!]
"Damn! What's there for this dog to be proud of! Isn't he just relying on his level-S talent! Just relying on his skills, what are you! Damn it, I'm so angry!"
Chen Changsheng lowered his head and glanced at his level-A talent. The corners of his mouth twitched, but in the end, he stomped his foot and logged off.
"Damn, I'm going to the 9th Server to get a level-S talent! Pineapple Monster, just you wait. The first place on the heavenly leaderboard will be mine sooner or later!"
After logging off, Chen Changsheng instructed the steward to buy over a hundred helmets.
"Get someone to create a character. If you don't have a level-S talent, continue buying and farming!"
"Yes, Young Master."
"Hmm… I'll do it too."
Chen Changsheng did not say much. He directly picked up a virtual helmet, put it on, and entered the game to create a character.
[Please enter the character name.]
"Inner Peace."
[Sorry! Duplicate character! Please rename it!]
"Damn, even a random name turned out to be a duplicate? Forget it, let's call it 'Cao Fei Apollo'!"
[Character creation successful! Talent randomly generated!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the level-S talent "World Destruction"!]
"Damn, one shot to the soul! Hahaha, the heavens are really helping me! Pineapple Monster, I also have a level-S talent! Just you wait!"
Chen Changsheng looked at the level-S talent he had obtained and was overjoyed. He completely did not realize that he had already brushed past the level-SSS talent.
…
[You've leveled up!]
In the Poisonous Swamp, Lin Bei's body lit up with a golden light.
It had been an hour since he started farming monsters and leveling up. He had finally reached Level 5.
"I'm finally Level 5! I can put on the Mithril Scepter!"
Mithril Scepter (Lv.5 Silver)
Attributes: Magic Attack +170
Special Effect: 1. Magic Critical Hit Rate +5%; 2. Magic Strength Recovery 10 Magic Points per second for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.
Powerful attributes!
He put on the Mithril Scepter and activated the Magic Strength Recovery that came with the equipment!
[Successfully activated Magic Strength Recovery! Magic Recovery 10 points per second for 60 seconds!]
[Magic Strength Recovery: Restores 10 Magic Points per second. Duration: ∞.]
"Haha! They didn't replace the Basic Magic Power Recovery Buff! As I expected, only Buffs with the same name will be replaced! It's just that Buffs with the same functions will not be replaced as long as they are not the same!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up, and the worry in his heart finally eased.
Then, he looked at the skill bar. After Level 5, there were two new skills in the Priest's skill bar!
Holy Light Recovery (lv.1)
Grants 20% (+20%/lv) magic damage to the target for 5 seconds.
Spellcasting Range: 20 meters (+1.25m/lv)
Cooldown: 30 seconds (-2.5s/lv)
Magic Power Consumption: 50 points (+12.5/lv)
Holy Light Burst (lv.1)
Deals 100% (+25%/lv) magic damage to a target within a 6-meter straight line, and adds Holy Flame effect to target. Deals 10 (+10/lv) damage points every second for 10 seconds.
Spellcasting Range: 6 meters (+1/lv)
Cooldown: 30 seconds (-2.5/lv)
Magic Power Consumption: 50 points (+12.5/lv)
Chapter 11: Level 5 Discipline Spell! Lord-tier Boss Descends! (4)
Lin Bei frowned slightly. Right now, he still had 4 potential points. It was impossible to max out both skills, so he could only choose.
Soon, he made a decision.
+3 Holy Light Recovery, +1 Holy Light Burst.
As for damage output, the Discipline Spell, which dealt real damage, was enough for now. The Level 1 Holy Light Burst was to make up for the lack of AoE attacks. In addition, he had an unlimited amount of Holy Flame damage to increase his damage output.
As for the Holy Light Recovery, there was an explanation.
Level 3 Holy Light Recovery could give him a 60% magic damage recovery Buff. The key was still the permanent Buff. Now that he was equipped with the Mithril Scepter, his magic attack was as high as 350 points. Coupled with Elena's Prayer, the Level 3 Holy Light Recovery effect could reach 420 points per second!
Coupled with the stacked Health Points recovery effect, after using Holy Light Recovery, his Health Points recovery would directly exceed 500 points!
Such a terrifying recovery effect meant that he could do whatever he wanted in the entire Holy Light Village!
Unless someone could kill him instantly, there was no chance of killing him!
Only by holding the ground could they deal damage!
With his current attributes, he could even kill a lord-tier Boss!
Lin Bei was very confident about this!
Boom!
Right at that moment, a violent explosion sounded from the depths of the Poisonous Swamp. Countless lightning bolts descended and flames overflowed!
[System Notification: Attention! Lord Boss - "Falling Thunder Karno" has descended into the depths of the Poisonous Swamp! Please go and kill him as soon as possible!]
[System Notification: Attention! Lord Boss - "Falling Thunder Karno" has descended into the depths of the Poisonous Swamp! Please go and kill him as soon as possible!]
[System Notification: Attention! Lord Boss - "Falling Thunder Karno" has descended into the depths of the Poisonous Swamp! Please go and kill him as soon as possible!]
Three System notifications sounded in a row. All the players in the entire Holy Light Village area went crazy!
"The Boss has arrived! This is the first Boss in the novice village! The rewards for the first killing must be extremely generous!"
"Brothers! Here's our chance! Let's go kill the Boss!"
"Let's go together!"
"…"
In the Holy Light Village, the three major guilds that had been preparing for a long time quickly took action!
Fighting Shark Empire had already gathered more than 300 players, including 100 Warriors, 100 Priests, and more than 100 remaining players. Although most of these players were only Level 3, with their numbers, it was more than enough to kill a lord-tier Boss!
The only thing they had to worry about was the other guilds and players causing trouble!
"Brothers! The first killing of this Boss must belong to our Fighting Shark Empire!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky shouted, "If anyone dares to ruin our plans, we won't rest until we die!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
…
In the Windcloud Guild, twenty people stood together, their gazes solemn.
Unparalleled Windcloud said in a low voice, "Let's end this quickly and take down the Boss as soon as possible! Are you confident?"
"Big Brother, we're professional players. Although we're only in the secondary league, our skills are still very strong. Moreover, we're all Level 5 and have learned new skills. It's easy for us to deal with that Boss!"
In the team, a female Assassin named I Love to Eat Lychees said with a smile.
"Let's go!"
…
Azure Plume Guild, Green Collar glanced at the surrounding guild members and sighed.
"Green, don't be dejected. We have more than a hundred people. There's still a chance!"
Unparalleled Plume patted Green Collar's shoulder and comforted her.
"That's the only way. Although we're not well-prepared, we have a lot of potions and our endurance is not weak! There's still a chance!"
Green Collar gritted her teeth. With a wave of her little hand, she led everyone towards Gloomy Jungle.
…
While the other guilds were sharpening their weapons and heading into the depths of Gloomy Jungle, Lin Bei, who had just changed into his Mithril Scepter, had already arrived at the depths of the Poisonous Swamp.
[You have discovered the Thunder Ruins!]
At this moment, there was a huge ruin the size of four football fields. Thunderclouds covered the sky above the ruin. From time to time, lightning would fall and bombard the broken walls below, bringing with it dazzling flames.
"This is it!"
Lin Bei looked into the depths of the ruins.
A silver-white Goblin that was nearly three meters tall and as strong as an ox was sitting on a ruined throne with a curved saber in his hand. Around him, 30 elite Goblin soldiers were patrolling in an orderly manner.
"The System has just announced that the others will be here in at most ten minutes. Looks like I have to end this quickly!"
Lin Bei's gaze darkened. He glanced at the patrol tracks of the 30 elite Goblin soldiers and memorized them. Then, he used the grass and shadows to quietly approach the depths of the Thunder Ruins!
Chapter 12: The Forum Blows Up! (1)
The health limit of a Level-7 elite Goblin should be around 1,500 points. For Lin Bei, there was no danger at all.
After being equipped with the Mithril Scepter, his Magic Attack had already reached 350 points. With all kinds of Buffs stacked, the damage of Level 5 Discipline Spell reached a terrifying 1,510 points!
Not only that, his Health Points had recovered by 525 points and his magic had recovered by 25 points. His endurance was also very terrifying!
The 30 elite Goblin soldiers were divided into six teams and wandered around the Thunder Ruins.
Lin Bei quickly approached a patrol team. Without a word, he cast the Discipline Spell!
'-1,240!'
Swoosh!
The white pillar of light descended, and the elite Goblin Archer fell to the ground.
[You have killed a Level 7 elite Goblin Archer! Obtained 144 EXP!]
He was already Level 5. Advancing from Level 5 to Level 6 required 8,000 EXP. After killing these 30 elite Goblins, he could obtain at least 50% EXP. With the Lord, if he was lucky, he might directly reach Level 6!
Under normal circumstances, killing monsters above one's level would give an additional 10% EXP bonus.
Other than that, killing EXP monsters would give 2 times the EXP of ordinary monsters. Killing lord-tier monsters would give 50 times the EXP of ordinary monsters. It was very impressive!
Lin Bei used Discipline Spell every second. In just a few breaths, he wiped out a Goblin team which dropped Bronze equipment.
Goblin War Bow (lv.5)
Quality: Bronze 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩
Attributes: Physical Attack Power +90, Range 25m
Special Effect: 1. Agility +3; 2. Range +10m
It was a good item. Lin Bei carried it on his back. With this bow, he had more room to maneuver. Previously, his attacks were simple and his physical damage was pitifully low. Now that he had this bow, coupled with his accurate shooting, if he triggered a critical hit, he could trigger a critical hit that ignored defense. The power was very impressive!
In Second World, there were two ways to deal critical damage to physical damage. One was to rely on the critical hit rate in the data. This critical hit damage depended purely on one's face. Moreover, the damage would be affected by the target's defense, and the critical hit coefficient was only 1.5 times. The other way was to attack the target's weakness and trigger a critical hit!
Critical weakness damage could ignore the target's defense and directly cause twice the damage. It was very terrifying!
However, it was worth mentioning that hitting the enemy's weakness was not something that could trigger 100% critical damage. Strength, angle, and timing were all indispensable! To most people, even if they hit the enemy's weakness, they could only cause weak damage that ignored defense and could not cause critical damage.
However, Lin Bei was different. In his previous life, he was a top-notch Thief. Although his equipment was a little lacking, his skills were top-notch. Critical Hit was a piece of cake for him! He could even deal a fatal Critical Hit!
Fatal Critical Hit was the ultimate Critical Hit!
Not only did it have a terrifying 3x Critical Damage, but it was also like a Critical Weakness Hit, ignoring defense!
Not only that, after causing a Fatal Critical Hit, it would also cause a certain negative impact on the target for a period of time. In his previous life, more than half of the shocking professional league scenes used Fatal Critical Hits to reverse the situation and turn defeat into victory!
However, it was still very difficult for Lin Bei to trigger a Fatal Critical Hit.
Because Fatal Critical Hits required the use of physical combat techniques, he was only a Priest now and had not learned any physical combat techniques. Therefore, he could only rely on experience and technique to deal Critical Weakness Hit. Even so, it was enough!
He drew his bow, aimed, and fired.
It was done in one go.
Whoosh!
-238! (Critical Weakness Hit!)
The arrow directly hit the eye of an elite Goblin Warrior, causing more than 200 points of critical damage!
"ROAR!"
After being attacked, the elite Goblin Warrior roared and summoned two elite teams to charge at Lin Bei!
Seeing this, Lin Bei smiled.
This time, he was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he kept adjusting his position and pulled the two teams into a long line. He waited until they were all within six meters before attacking!
Holy Light Burst!
Swoosh!
A three-meter-thick golden pillar of light shot out from the Mithril Scepter, piercing through the six-meter-wide area in front of him!
-648! -652! -1320! (Critical hit!)…
A series of damage numbers floated up. One of the unlucky ones directly triggered a 5% Magic Critical Hit effect and was instantly killed on the spot.
In addition, the elite Goblins who were not insta-killed were all ignited by Holy Flame. Moreover, under the Buff of Elena's Prayer, they received 20 points of continuous damage per second!
"The damage is a little weak, but the attack range is not small. Before Level 10, the only thing that can compare to it is the Fire Spell."
Although the bonus was not very high, and there was no Judgement damage that ignored defense, it was still an area-of-effect skill. It was already very good to have such an effect.
Moreover, with the 90% cooldown period reduction effect of Elena's Prayer on Holy Light skills, he only needed 3 seconds to cast it once. In terms of farming efficiency, the current stage was actually more powerful than the Discipline Spell!
After three seconds, Holy Light Burst attacked again!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Corpses fell to the ground, and the two elite Goblin teams were completely wiped out!
"Another two pieces of Bronze Equipment. Not bad."
Chapter 13: The Forum Blows Up! (2)
Lin Bei smiled and went forward to keep the equipment. His equipment drop rate for killing these elite monsters was about 20%. It was still very impressive. Of course, this was all thanks to the 1 point of Luck and Buff he got for free. Otherwise, his gains would not be so generous.
After all, under normal circumstances, elite monsters would only drop Iron-grade equipment at most. As for Bronze-grade monsters… what were they thinking?
However, the existence of "Drop Quality +1" made it a reality for elite monsters to drop Bronze quality!
"After killing the Boss, the Silver equipment will definitely be there!"
Lin Bei smiled and continued to wipe out the remaining elite Goblins. Lords were different from the elites. That was a Boss. In Second World, the Boss' equipment drop rate was 100%!
Especially the first killing, the rewards were even more generous!
This was also the reason why everyone was so eager about the first killing of the Boss!
However, he would gladly accept the Boss of Thunder Ruins. As for the others… they would probably be finished off before he arrived.
With his current attributes, it was easy for him to kill a lord-tier Boss that was not even Level 10!
…
Just as Lin Bei was steadily advancing in the Thunder Ruins, the top player of the Fighting Shark Empire platform, a former WWL professional player, Deity Gou Is Not The Dog Deity, started broadcasting!
"Hello, everyone! Your favorite Deity Gou is here!" 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
As soon as the live broadcast started, millions of viewers flooded the live broadcast room. The comments instantly filled the screen.
"Hello, Dog Feed!"
"Dog Feed is wearing female clothes! I'm about to cry from hunger!"
"Women's clothing +1!"
+10086!
However, Deity Gou turned a deaf ear to these comments and continued to smile. "Alright, I'm broadcasting early today because I'm preparing to participate in the Heavenly Might's Leveling-Up Competition!"
Deity Gou said mysteriously, "There are a total of two awards for this competition. One is the highest grade reward, and the other is the fastest level-up reward! The competition is for a week, and the rewards are very generous!"
"However, the Server has been open for some time now. There's not much hope of competing for the highest grade reward. However, after this deity's morning of research, I've finally come up with a perfect leveling plan! According to this leveling plan, we can definitely easily obtain the fastest leveling-up reward!"
"The fastest leveling-up reward is a competition of the leveling speed of each player at each level. As the monster of Second World making maneuvers, I naturally won't foolishly work for seven days!"
"Our goal is to break the fastest leveling-up record before Level 10!"
Deity Gou smiled and said, "Furthermore, this plan isn't like those big guilds who lead teams to kill monsters. We only need to bring four tools. Later, I'll randomly draw four lucky viewers in the live-stream. Let's set a record together!"
"Choose me, choose me, choose me!"
"Sky Howl, quickly choose me. I'm Erlang Immortal Master!"
"Wow, you actually brought a tool. If you have the ability, solo it!"
"…"
However, a person like Deity Gou, who was used to seeing storms, was not moved at all. Instead, he continued to follow the pace of his own live broadcast and opened the official database. He smiled and said, "Before we set the record, let's take a look at the fastest leveling-up records of various Servers in the past!"
"First upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2. The fastest speed is 1 minute and 39 seconds. It was created by Deity Apollo from the 1st Server. The Sun Deity is indeed the MVP of the WWL Finals. He's so fierce! Although there are only 100 EXP points from Level 1 to Level 2, we still need to kill 10 Level 1 monsters. After calculating, we have to kill one in less than 10 seconds on average. The MVP is well-deserved!"
"Alright, let's take a look at the 9th Server's Heavenly Might. Hmm… 6 seconds, not bad. Wait! 6 seconds?! Damn, is he even human?!"
Deity Gou thought that he had seen wrongly. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the computer screen again.
[Heavenly Might's Fastest Leveling-Up Leaderboard—Lv.1 ~ Lv.2]
1. Inner Peace, 6 seconds.
2. Forest Wood, 1 minute 09 seconds.
3. Cao Fei Apollo, 1 minute and 15 seconds.
…
On the leaderboard, three players had surpassed the record set by Deity Apollo in the 1st server. Under normal circumstances, this was understandable. After all, that was a record set four years ago. Now, as players' understanding of the game deepened, although every server map was completely different, there was still a chance to break the record!
'But…'
What the hell was six seconds?
It wasn't just Deity Gou. All the viewers in the live-stream were dumbfounded.
"Damn, is he on drugs? Why is he so powerful?"
"He's definitely cheating!"
"Is he even human? Six seconds! Faster than me!"
"Hey, Brother from above, can you tell me how long you took previously? I'm just curious!"
"…"
Deity Gou quickly came back to his senses. He knew that it was definitely not possible to cheat in Second World!
Moreover, the database was connected to the game System, so the data could not be wrong!
Then… there was only one conclusion!
This big shot called Inner Peace had really set a shocking record!
Six seconds!
Damn, what the damned…
No, I have to see how fast he is leveling up the other levels!
Thinking of this, Deity Gou directly searched for Inner Peace on the rankings. In the next second, all the data about his leveling up appeared on the computer screen!
[Inner Peace]
Lv.1 to Lv.2, 100 EXP, time used: 6 seconds.
Lv.2 to Lv.3, 1000 EXP, time used: 2 minutes 19 seconds.
Lv.3 to Lv.4, 2000 EXP, time used: 4 minutes 35 seconds.
Lv.4 to Lv.5, 4,000 EXP, time used: 4 minutes 06 seconds.
Lv.5 to Lv.6, 8000 EXP. No statistics available.
"Well …"
Deity Gou was numb.
Chapter 14: The Forum Blows Up! (3)
What kind of leveling-up speed was this?
What was even more ridiculous was that advancing from Level 4 to Level 5 was half a minute faster than advancing from Level 3 to Level 4!
This was an additional 2000 experience points! Instead of slowing down, his speed increased! Was this reasonable?
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream could not hold it in anymore after seeing the information displayed on the screen.
"Damn, the Inner Peace Boss is awesome! I'm impressed by his speed!"
"Apollo took nearly ten minutes to reach Level 3 from Level 2, but he only took two minutes. Oh my god!"
"That's nothing! Look at his speed of leveling up from Level 4 to Level 5. It's ridiculous! He's half a minute faster than going from Level 3 to Level 4! Is he still human? Even Apollo took a full 40 minutes! How much time did he use? Four minutes! That's ten times faster! I'm numb!"
"Does he have the talent to increase experience?"
"It's really possible! Moreover, with such a ridiculous leveling-up speed, I think it's at least a level-A talent!"
"Awesome, awesome!"
"…"
Just as everyone was discussing this Inner Peace big shot, the data on the screen suddenly updated!
Lv.5 to Lv.6, 8000 EXP, time used: 1 minute 38 seconds.
"?"
"?"
"?"
Everyone was confused.
One minute and 38 seconds? That was one second faster than Apollo leveling up from Level 1 to Level 2.
How ridiculous!
The news of the Heavenly Might's Leveling-Up Competition quickly spread. At the same time, the forum of Second World exploded. Countless posts about Inner Peace appeared. In just a few minutes, there were no less than a hundred thousand!
At the same time, this news quickly spread to the various professional teams.
"Hehe, he just awakened a talent that can help him level up. Moreover, that record is already a few years old. What's there to say? In my opinion, Inner Peace just wants to ride on the popularity. The clown is nothing!"
In the Divine Descent battle team, Deity Apollo heard the news from his coach and smiled disdainfully. "An account like this is most likely useless. His leveling-up talent can only be used as a PVE player."
… 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
On the other side, the coach of the Nine Heavens team found Chen Changsheng, who was leveling up in his new Server.
"What's wrong, Coach? Why are you suddenly looking for me?"
Chen Changsheng raised his eyebrows. He was just about to kill the Boss of the novice village. With his level-S talent, and the maneuvers and awareness of a top professional player, it would be a piece of cake!
However, now that he was suddenly called offline, if others beat him to it because of the delay, he would suffer a huge loss!
"Changsheng, did you create a new character in the 9th Server?"
"Yes, why?"
"Is Inner Peace your character's name?"
"No? My name is Cao Fei Apollo."
Chen Changsheng looked at his coach, who had suddenly fallen silent, and asked with a frown, "Did something happen?"
"Yes, a player called Inner Peace has set a new leveling-up record! Take a look."
As he spoke, the coach handed a list to Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng took a look at the list and was completely stunned.
"Damn, this person is awesome! How did he do it at such a fast leveling-up speed? I've awakened a level-S talent now, but it's not as ridiculous as him!"
"The coaching team is also analyzing it, but everyone agrees that he has awakened some kind of talent to obtain experience points, so his leveling-up speed is very fast. Such a person is a talent in PVE. If he can be recruited into a guild under our team, it would be a good choice! By the way, you just said that you have awakened… a level-S talent? Is that true?"
"Of course! My talent is amazing! When I level up, I'll definitely be able to defeat Apollo!"
Chen Changsheng's face was filled with confidence.
"Haha, good job! Since that's the case, our team will fully cooperate with you! You just focus on leveling up! When you level up, we'll compete for the championship of WWL!"
The coach said happily.
"That's for sure! That kid Apollo used his talent to make me suffer. This time, I'll teach him a lesson!"
Chen Changsheng confidently said this, then without stopping, he continued to go online to kill the Boss.
"Inner Peace… Inner Peace… Wait! No wonder it looks so familiar. Isn't this the character I wanted to create previously? Phew… That was close. Fortunately, I didn't create it successfully. If I had succeeded, I might have had the same leveling talent as this person!"
After coming online, Chen Changsheng had a look of lingering fear on his face.
That was close. He almost missed out on a level-S talent!
As for Inner Peace's leveling-up talent?
He was not interested!
He was a PVP player, the top professional player in the entire Alliance. Even if he didn't have any talent related to leveling, would his leveling speed be slow with his own maneuvering skills?
"As expected, I'm very lucky this time."
The corners of Chen Changsheng's mouth curled up, filled with anticipation for the future.
Chapter 15: First Killing of Entire Server! Powerful First Killing Buff!
In the Thunder Ruins, the 30 elite Goblin soldiers were all killed by Lin Bei.
He had also changed into Bronze Equipment, and his attributes had increased again.
Health Points: 1,600
Magic Power: 1,250
Magic Attack: 400 (Equipment: Mithril Scepter)
Physical Attack Power: 120 (Equipment: Goblin War Bow)
Physical/Magic Defense: 60/100
Health Recovery: 315 points
Magic Recovery: 25 points
Magic Critical Hit Rate: 5%
Physical Critical Hit Rate: 1%
With 400 Magic Attack and the Buff bonus, he could deal 1,840 damage points to the target with just one Discipline Spell!
[Falling Thunder Karno (Lv.7, lord-tier Boss)]
When Lin Bei saw the name of the Boss, the Falling Thunder Karno also noticed Lin Bei. With a roar, he jumped down from the broken throne and rushed over with his curved saber!
Crackle!
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed on Lin Bei.
[You have been attacked by the Falling Lightning Spell! Health Points reduced by 300 points!]
[You are paralyzed! Movement Speed -20%, duration: 3 seconds!]
'+300!'
Above Lin Bei's head, a green recovery number floated up and he instantly returned to full health.
"This Boss is a Magic Attack, and its Attack is not low either. It has a total of 400 points. If players at this stage encounter it, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the consequences. However, this Boss is unlucky to encounter me."
After testing the attack power of the Boss, Lin Bei smiled. He was wearing a full set of Bronze equipment. Although he was only Level 5, his Magic Defense was 100 points. As for ordinary players at this stage, they were about Level 3. With a full set of Normal equipment, their Magic Defense might not exceed 20 points. Under the Boss's attack of 400 points, they could not withstand it at all!
Even if someone was lucky enough to withstand it, a 20% deceleration effect would still kill him!
"I'm not playing anymore. Let's end this quickly!"
Lin Bei did not care about the slow effect on his body at all. He waved the Mithril Scepter in his hand and a holy light instantly descended from the sky and landed on the Boss!
Discipline Spell!
-3,680! (Critical Hit!)
There was actually a Magic Critical Hit!
The Boss's Health Points plummeted to 81.6%.
"He actually has 20,000 maximum Health Points, but… they're still far from enough!"
Lin Bei raised his hand again and used Discipline Spell again!
At the same time, he was hit by a Falling Lightning Spell!
However, in an instant, his Health Points recovered to full again. It did not affect him at all.
Just like that, he cast five Discipline Spells in a row before Falling Thunder Karno arrived in front of Lin Bei angrily.
However, at this moment, his Health Points had already decreased to 45%!
"ROAR!"
"Roar your head!"
Lin Bei cursed and dodged the attack of the curved saber. He held the Goblin War Bow horizontally in front of him and wrapped it around Falling Thunder Karno's neck, pulling it back!
Falling Thunder Karno lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Discipline Spell!
Holy Light Burst!
Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!
[Successfully triggered Holy Flame! Target has -20 Health Points per second. Duration: ∞!]
[Successfully triggered Strong Poison! Target has -20 Health Points per second. Duration: ∞!]
[Your actions have angered Falling Thunder Karno!]
[Falling Thunder Karno has gone berserk! He has evolved into Explosive Thunder Karno! His level has increased to Level 10! Its rank has evolved to a Domain-Lord tier Boss!]
"Berserk? That's a good thing!"
Lin Bei looked at the Boss that was covered in thunder aura. He did not panic because of the System notification. Instead, his eyes lit up and he was excited.
A Level 10 Domain-Lord tier Boss!
Under normal circumstances, a Domain-Lord tier Boss would be at least Level 20 and extremely rare. Hence, a Level 10 Domain-Lord tier Lord Boss was definitely a rare item!
Under normal circumstances, a Domain-Lord tier Boss could drop Silver equipment!
However… Lin Bei's Buff had the effect of "Drop Quality +1". In other words, as long as he killed this Boss, he would have Gold equipment!
There was only a 0.1% chance that the Boss would go berserk. Moreover, even though the Boss' attributes would be greatly increased after going berserk, and his attacks would also become incomparably sharp, his current Health Points would not be affected by these effects.
In other words, the Domain-Lord tier Boss in front of him had less than half his health!
"I've made a killing!"
Explosive Thunder Karno (Lv. 10, Domain-Lord tier Boss): Health Points: 20000/200000 (10%)
"20,000 Health Points are not enough!"
Lin Bei grinned and condensed magic power in his Mithril Scepter.
BOOM!
Discipline Spell!
-3,680! (Critical Hit!)
Discipline Spell!
'-1,840!'
… 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺
In the blink of an eye, Explosive Thunder Karno's Health Points dropped below 10,000!
Discipline Spell was a real damage skill. Even though Explosive Thunder Karno's attributes had skyrocketed as a Domain-Lord tier Boss, he was still helpless against Lin Bei's one Discipline Spell every second!
"Roar! Humans! Do you want to die?"
Suddenly, Explosive Thunder Karno shouted in human language, "Aeon Thunder Blast!"
In the blink of an eye, countless lightning bolts descended from the sky and covered an area of 20 meters!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
-700! +315! -700! +315! -700! …
Lin Bei saw that the situation was bad and wanted to retreat, but Explosive Thunder Karno grabbed his ankle tightly and he could not break free.
The other party's Strength attribute was much higher than his. As a small Priest, he could only stand on the spot and "bathe".
"Who knows how long his Thunder Blast will last? I can't just sit and wait for death! Damn him!"
Seeing that he could not escape the range of the thunder, Lin Bei's eyes turned brutal. He condensed the magic power of the Mithril Scepter in his hand and bombarded the Falling Thunder Karno under his feet!
Discipline Spell!
Holy Light Burst!
Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!
'-1,840!' (Discipline Spell!)
-300! (Holy Light Break!)
-80! (Critical Weakness Hit!)
…
Finally, under Lin Bei's tireless efforts, the Falling Thunder Karno wailed and fell silent.
And his Health Points were only left with a pitiful 60 points.
"Phew, that was close. This Boss actually mutated in the end! If I wasn't decisive enough, I would have died just now!"
In just 4 seconds, he had lost a lot of Health Points. Fortunately, he had managed to kill the Boss with his damage points. If not, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
[Congratulations to the player for successfully killing a Domain-Lord tier Boss - Explosive Thunder Karno (Mutated)! You have completed the first kill of a Domain-Lord tier Boss! Obtained Silver Treasure Chest x1! Obtained temporary Buff "Boss Slaughterer (Domain-Lord tier) (1 hour)"! A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Do you want to reveal your name?]
[Congratulations to the player for completing the first killing of the Heavenly Might Server! You have received 10,000 experience points! Gold coins x100! All basic attributes +5, all fixed attributes +2! A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Do you want to reveal your name?]
"All anonymous!"
Without thinking, Lin Bei chose to remain anonymous. At the same time, he opened his attribute list and hid his name.
At this stage, he was still focused on his development. He did not want to be harassed by some annoying flies.
The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.
If he could survive, he should not be reckless.
Lin Bei was in a good mood. The first killing of the Boss had brought him a lot of benefits. Not only had he leveled up by one level, but he was also less than 1,000 experience points away from leveling up to Level 7. If he killed a few monsters, he could level up again!
More importantly, he had obtained many attribute points! All basic attributes +5 was equivalent to four more attribute points than other players!
Not only that, even the rarer fixed attribute points had increased by 2 points!
Currently, he had 3 points of luck and 3 points of charm. Such attributes were already comparable to a Level 60 player in the old Server!
Where he was concerned, he had only entered the game for two hours.
"The reward for the first killing is really good."
Lin Bei sighed and looked at the Buff obtained from the first killing of the Boss.
[Boss Slaughterer (Domain-Lord tier): First Killing Buff. When killing all monsters below Domain-Lord tier (including Domain-Lord tier), drop rate +100%, drop quality +1, duration ∞.]
Lin Bei was speechless.
This first killing Buff was invincible!
Chapter 16: The Rich Rewards of a Domain-Lord tier Mutated Boss! (1)
"Great stuff, let me take my time…"
Lin Bei looked at his status bar. The two Buffs, Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing and Boss Slaughterer, allowed him to directly obtain the statuses of "Drop Rate +200%" and "Drop Quality +2". Moreover, together with the permanent Buff talent, he had become a permanent talent!
"This… is taking off!"
Not to mention the bonus of the drop rate, what was the concept of "Drop Quality +2"?
This meant that even if Lin Bei farmed monsters normally, he would still obtain items equivalent to that dropped by a Lord-tier Boss!
Such an improvement was terrifying!
Killing monsters was equivalent to killing a Boss. Nothing was more ridiculous than this!
"Phew… In this life, my development speed is going to take off."
Lin Bei heaved a sigh of relief. The existence of the Unlimited Buff talent gave him an incalculable advantage!
Under normal circumstances, without this talent, even if he got the first killing, he would only get an hour's bonus. If it were anyone else, they would just take the time to kill ordinary monsters. At most, they would kill some elite monsters and obtain some Iron or Bronze equipment.
One hour was very short. Even if he went all out, how many pieces of equipment could he get?
However, with the Unlimited Buff talent, everything was different!
These temporary Buffs had all become permanent Buffs!
"This talent… must not be known by others. Otherwise, it will definitely attract a lot of trouble!"
Lin Bei quickly came back to his senses with a solemn expression.
Thinking back to his previous life's Inner Peace, the other party's talent didn't seem to be an Unlimited Buff, right?
He had seen some analysis posts. It seemed to be a powerful talent similar to "Ten Times Attack Speed". Why did it become a completely different talent when it came to him?
Fortunately, the level of the talent did not change. It was still the same level-SSS talent as in his previous life.
"Could it be that… the name can only determine the talent level, but the specific talent attribute is random?"
Lin Bei guessed.
In the current situation, that was all he could think.
"I'll sell some equipment later and exchange it for money. I'll buy a few login devices to create an account and test it out! Anyway, I know many top-notch players with powerful talents!"
Lin Bei's eyes gradually heated up. This was his advantage as a reborn person!
He had already decided to build a professional team in the future. Since that was the case, creating some accounts with powerful talents in advance was the right choice!
Moreover, with these high-level talent accounts, even if he sold them, he could earn a lot of money!
Prepare for both!
"I have to hurry! I don't want anything to happen!"
Lin Bei's eyes darkened. He put the items that had fallen to the ground into his backpack and looked at them one by one.
"Not bad! As expected of the reward for the first killing!"
Looking at the items dropped by the Boss in his bag, Lin Bei's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.
The first killing of the Boss was a huge gain!
Firstly, the Boss went berserk and advanced. Then, he actually mutated!
One had to know that the probability of the Boss leveling up was only 0.1%, and the probability of the Boss mutating… was even lower. According to the statistics of the Boss in his previous life, the probability of the Boss mutating was only 0.001%!
One in a hundred thousand!
It was ridiculously low!
In other words, on average, only one Mutated Boss would be born for every 100,000 Bosses!
This was a Boss, not a cabbage!
Therefore, in his previous life, every Mutated Boss was a target that countless players would go crazy over!
As for the reason, it was very simple—the drops of the Mutated Boss were too generous!
Any Mutated Boss had a chance of dropping a "Universal Skill Book"!
No matter what profession it was, he could learn it!
Most importantly, the effects of universal skills were usually very powerful!
Other than that, the Mutated Boss would also drop some precious gems. Among them was an item called the Limit Breaking Crystal. It was especially precious!
As for the function of the Limit Breaking Crystal, it was very simple—break through the upper limit of skills!
Under normal circumstances, the upper limit of the level of skills was only Level 5, but… this was only under normal circumstances!
The existence of the Limit Breaking Crystal could break the rules and forcefully upgrade a Level 5 skill to Level 6!
Although it was just a simple increase of one level, the effect of the skill would be greatly improved!
Therefore, in his previous life, skills that broke through Level 5 and reached Level 6 were collectively called "Limit Breaking Skills"!
After killing the Mutated Boss this time, Lin Bei was very lucky and obtained a Limit Breaking Crystal!
[ Limit Breaking Crystal: Break through the upper limit of the level of skills and upgrade a Level 5 skill to Level 6.]
Lin Bei opened his skill bar and looked at Discipline Spell. Without hesitation, he chose to use the Limit Breaking Crystal to level up!
[Successfully used the Limit Breaking Crystal! Your Discipline Spell has been upgraded! The effect of the skill has increased greatly!]
Discipline Spell (Lv.6, Limit Broken)
Deals 500% Divine Attribute Judgment Damage to the target. (Judgment Damage: Ignores true defense damage)
Spellcasting Range: 60 meters
Cooldown: 5 seconds (Cooldown period reduced by 4.5 seconds)
Consumption: 70 Magic Power
"What a terrifying Discipline Spell!"
Looking at the effect of Discipline Spell after breaking the limit, Lin Bei could not help but gasp.
5x Judgment Damage, together with the 100% Holy Light Buff, that was 10x Judgment Damage!
There was also the 0.5 second cooldown period, which made this skill even more terrifying!
Coupled with the huge increase in spellcasting range, the current Level 6 Discipline Spell had almost no flaws! 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩
If he really wanted to pick a bone from an egg, he could only complain about "single-target attack" and "high magic power consumption".
Now, if he went all out, he could cast Discipline Spell twice a second. This meant that his magic power consumption per second had increased to 140 points, far exceeding his magic power recovery!
Chapter 17: The Rich Rewards of a Domain-Lord tier Mutated Boss! (2)
"Looks like… I have to get a bottle of Intermediate Magic Combat Potion as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I fight with all my might, I won't be able to last long. I'll be at a disadvantage."
Lin Bei thought to himself, "If it really doesn't work out, I can buy a bottle later. There are many players in the entire Heavenly Might server. It's not impossible to get an Intermediate Magic Combat Potion if I'm lucky."
"I have even obtained a universal skill book and five pieces of equipment!"
Mutated Blood (Lv. 1, Universal Skill)
Use a bottle of monster blood to mutate the target. Mutation Grade = Blood Grade.
Number of Releases: 1 (+1/lv)
Spellcasting Range: 100 meters (+50/lv)
Cooldown: 24 hours (-3 hours/lv)
Consumption: 1 bottle of monster blood
"This skill is amazing!"
Lin Bei was grinning from ear to ear. With this skill, it meant that he could "create" a Mutated Boss by himself. What was the one-in-a-hundred-thousand chance of mutation? Before the powerful "mutated blood", it would have no effect at all!
Now, as long as he had the Boss' blood, he could mutate the target!
Although the cooldown time was a little long, it was not a big deal. As his level increased, the cooldown time would decrease. Moreover, the number of skills he could use would increase every time he cooled down!
If possible, when the time came, he could get a Limit Breaking Crystal, and the effect of the skill would also be greatly improved. Therefore, to Lin Bei, he did not care about the long cooldown time at all. He could farm a Mutated Boss every day. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
One had to know that the Server had just opened!
Not to mention anything else, there were probably no more than ten people with Limit Breaking Skills in all nine servers!
This was enough to show how rare and precious Mutated Bosses were!
He was already very happy that he could farm unlimited Mutated Bosses.
"There are still 5 pieces of equipment! 1 Platinum, 2 Gold, 2 Silver!"
Lin Bei smiled and looked at the equipment attributes.
… 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝗺
The players from the three major guilds were rushing towards the Poisonous Swamp in the depths of Gloomy Jungle. Everyone was rubbing their palms together, their eyes filled with determination. They only had one goal—the first killing of a lord-tier Boss!
"Everyone, cheer up! I just received news that our Fighting Shark Empire is the strongest in this operation! You must take down this lord-tier Boss! Do you understand?"
Flying Dragon in the Sky shouted at the front of the party, "We only have one goal—the first killing of the Boss of Holy Light Village! As for the first killing of the entire server… Everyone, just do your best. Don't feel pressured!"
"Yes!"
"Big Brother, although we have a lot of people, those people from the Windcloud Guild are professional players."
Brother Chicken Is Big said worriedly.
"Professional players are nothing! There are only 20 of them, and the rest are just small fries! Moreover… Professional players are also differentiated! It's fine if they're members of WWL's global professional league, but what about the members of the Windcloud Guild? They're just trashy teams from NWL! No matter how powerful they are, can they be stronger than our 300 people? Don't worry, if they dare to snatch our Boss, everyone, attack together and f*ck them!"
Flying Dragon curled his lips and cursed.
It was not that he looked down on the members of the Windcloud Guild, but professional players at their level were not as scary as he had imagined!
The Second World Professional League was divided into four levels: WWL (Global Professional League), SWL (Super Professional League), CWL (Challenger League), NWL (National League).
Among them, WWL had a total of 32 teams. They were the top professional teams in the world!
As for SWL, there were 64 professional teams that were equally strong. They were first-rate teams!
On the other hand, CWL had 128 professional teams. They were the elite teams in the professional league. They were all existences that stood out in national competitions worldwide!
As for the lowest level NWL, their strength was non-uniform. As long as the number in the team reached 20 and paid a certain fee, they could form an NWL team. According to incomplete statistics, the number of NWL teams worldwide exceeded 100,000, which was ridiculous!
On the other hand, Team Windcloud was ranked in the top 50,000 of NWL's global rankings. They were a mid-tier team in NWL, so Flying Dragon in the Sky was not afraid of offending them at all!
"So what if your maneuvering skills are better than mine? Our levels are about the same, and your equipment is trash. Why should I be afraid of you?"
"Do you understand the human wave tactics?"
"Big Brother is wise! Those people from the Windcloud Guild are only bullying ordinary PvE players. Against our Empire players, they will definitely die!"
Brother Chicken Is Big flattered him.
"I'm glad you know."
Flying Dragon in the Sky smiled.
However, at this moment, a System announcement fell from the sky like a bolt from the blue, causing all the players from the three major guilds of the Holy Light Village to be stunned.
[Server Announcement: Player "Anonymous" successfully killed Explosive Thunder Karno (Lv.7, Domain-Lord tier Boss). Completed the first killing of the Domain-Lord tier Boss and obtained the reward for the first killing!]
[Server Announcement: Player "Anonymous" completed the first killing of the Boss in the entire server! Obtained the reward for the first killing in the entire server!]
"Quick! Assassins, rush over in Stealth as fast as you can! I want to see the person who killed the Boss! Don't let him escape! How dare they take the first killing right under my nose! I'm so furious!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky roared.
With a command, more than 20 Assassins in the team left in Stealth.
…
From the Windcloud Guild, the twenty players had already entered the Poisonous Swamp. After hearing the System announcement, Unparalleled Windcloud was stunned. He suddenly said, "He's actually faster than us and even got the first killing of the entire server. Could it be that other professional players have come to the new Server?"
Chapter 18: The Rich Rewards of a Domain-Lord tier Mutated Boss! (3)
"This is definite! And looking at the announcement, it's actually a Domain-Lord tier Boss! Oh my god, why would a Domain-Lord tier Boss appear in the novice village area?"
"To be able to kill a Domain-Lord tier Boss at this stage, it's definitely a professional team! And… it's very likely to be a SWL team! It's even possible… to be a WWL team!"
"What? What are they doing in the new Server instead of training? Torturing noobs?"
"Nothing is certain. Maybe he wants to explore the new Server and obtain more resources for the team. After all, this is an MMO game. Equipment is still very important."
The team members had different opinions. Unparalleled Windcloud frowned slightly and raised his hand to interrupt the others. He said in a deep voice, "Let's go over and take a look. Remember, don't clash with them readily! A SWL or even WWL professional team, even if their levels are low now, is not something we can deal with!"
"Understood!"
"Don't worry, Captain!"
…
Azure Plume Guild, and Green Collar were dumbfounded when they heard the System announcement.
"How long has it been since the announcement that the Boss would be refreshed?"
"Has it been three minutes?"
"And he was killed just like that?"
"And… it's even a Domain-Lord tier Boss?"
Although this was the first time she had come into contact with this game, she had done a lot of homework before. Was a Domain-Lord tier Boss something that players with an average level of only three could kill at this stage?
"Damn, which deity is this? He's so brutal!"
On the side, Unparalleled Plume couldn't help but curse. She didn't look like a lady at all.
"Then… are we still going over?"
Green Collar frowned at Unparalleled Plume.
"Yes! Of course! I want to see which deity can kill a Domain-Lord tier Boss at this stage! What if it's an independent player? Wouldn't it be better to pull him into our guild?"
Unparalleled Plume quickened her pace and stepped into the Poisonous Swamp covered in purple poisonous gas.
Green Collar's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and her heart was moved.
If she could really pull him to her guild…
…
Not long after the Server announcement, the Second World forum exploded again!
"Deity Gou is not the Dog Deity" was staring at the computer screen in a daze in the live-stream. Suddenly, the live-stream erupted, and countless bullet comments jumped crazily!
"Dog Feed! The first BOSS killing of the new Server has been taken! It's the Holy Light Village! It's actually a Domain-Lord tier Boss! Domain-Lord tier Boss!"
"Currently, the one with the highest level in the new Server, Forest Wood, is not even Level 7. How can he kill a Domain-Lord tier Boss at this level? Isn't this too terrifying?"
"There must be people from the SWL professional team who have teamed up to explore!"
"SWL? I'm dying of laughter. Did you not look at the time? To be able to defeat a Domain-Lord tier Boss in less than three minutes, it would take at least a mid-tier professional team from WWL to do it!"
"Damn, aren't they training? They've actually gone to the new Server to torture noobs? Are they giving us a way out?"
"In my opinion, it might not be a professional team player. It might be a hidden big guy!"
"Do you believe it yourself? No matter how awesome the hidden big guy is, can he compare to a WWL team alone? With such intelligence, don't come out and embarrass yourself. Hurry up and wash up and sleep!"
"…"
The bullet screen in the live broadcast room was filled with comments. Deity Gou was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, the data on the computer screen refreshed again!
[Inner Peace]
Lv.6~Lv.7, 16,000 experience points, time spent: 49 seconds.
It was ridiculous!
Deity Gou's heart twitched violently and he almost fell off his chair.
What kind of leveling speed was this?
Was he riding a rocket?
Be a human!
If he leveled up so quickly, would he give others a way out?
"Wait! Such a fast leveling speed… Did he get the first killing?"
Deity Gou's eyes widened and he could not help but swallow. He felt his mouth go dry.
If that was the case, the Heavenly Might Server… had really produced an incredible person!
After a long time, Deity Gou came back to his senses and put on a smile. He announced loudly, "Dear viewers in the live-stream, this deity will now announce something to everyone. From today onwards, I am a loyal fan of the big guy Inner Peace!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience in the live-stream was dumbfounded.
"Dog Feed, wake up. Isn't he just a monster with a leveling talent? Do you have to be so stupid as to be his fan?"
"Right, right, right. There's no future!"
"That's right. You're a retired WWL player who's known as the Invincible Deity of Gou! He's just a PVE player. It can't be, right?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
However, Deity Gou smiled mysteriously and did not explain. Instead, he quickly went online, created a character, and was born in the Holy Light Village. He had to personally see the splendor of this big guy called Inner Peace!
I don't believe that it's as simple as having the talent to level up!
…
In the Thunder Ruins, Lin Bei was excitedly looking at the attributes of the equipment. Suddenly, the grass in the distance swayed slightly, making him frown.
There was no one around.
Lin Bei sneered in his heart. Was the Assassin in Stealth?
It seemed like these people wanted to kill him and snatch his treasure. However… they were on a narrow path!
One had to know that in my previous life, I was a terrifying Shadow Assassin Deity!
In terms of maneuvering skills alone, it was enough to be ranked the top 10 Assassins in the world!
With your immature Stealth techniques… you still want to kill?
Alright, I'm in a good mood today. I'll teach you a good lesson.
Lin Bei smiled and pulled out the Goblin War Bow from his back. He narrowed his eyes and shot an arrow!
Puff!
-300 (Critical Weakness Hit!)
A golden critical damage number suddenly rose!
With a thud, an Assassin fell to the ground with a horrified expression!
He died with grievances!
[You have killed "Must Get That (Lv.4, Assassin)"! Obtained 70 experience points!]
…
At the rebirth point, an Assassin player was resurrected with a face full of disbelief.
"Damn it, how did he discover me? He actually killed me with a single arrow! Damn it, isn't he a Priest? Why is he using a bow and arrow? And… what the hell is a critical weakness hit? And where's my Iron dagger? Damn…"
Chapter 19: Platinum Weapon! Limit Magic Staff!
Must Get That was dumbfounded.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
However, at this moment, more than ten white lights appeared beside him.
"You… are all dead?"
Must Get That couldn't believe it.
"Damn, I almost dodged it! This Priest… is really damn strange. Could it be that he has the talent to break through Stealth and can see us? He actually kept shooting one arrow after another at us!"
A yellow-haired young man cursed.
"Damn, a Priest should just be a healer! If you like shooting so much, why choose to be a damn Priest!"
A burly man cursed. He had just been shot in the anus and was still in pain!
"…"
Must Get That broke out in a cold sweat.
They had more than 20 Level-3 Assassins, but they were killed just like that?
Was that person that brutal?
No, I must hurry up and inform the Guild Leader!
Thinking of this, Must Get That sent a private message to Flying Dragon in the Sky.
"Guild Leader… We've all been killed!"
"What?! How many people do they have? What are their professions? How are their equipment?"
"Uh… there's only one of them. He's a Priest. His weapon… he uses a bow."
"?"
Flying Dragon in the Sky, who was leading the team, was confused.
'A Priest? And a Priest with a bow?'
Damn it, there were at least twenty of you! You were all actually killed by a Priest?
How embarrassing!
"Alright, I understand."
With that, Flying Dragon in the Sky opened the System interface and kicked out the 20 Assassins.
Damn it, Assassins that could not even kill a Priest, was he going to keep them for the New Year?
The earlier he kicked them out, the better it would be!
"Hmph, but it's not like we didn't gain anything. Looks like the other party paid a huge price to kill the Boss. There's only one left alive! This is our chance!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky thought to himself that as long as they were fast enough, they would definitely be able to surround the Priest and force him to hand over the equipment and items that the Boss had dropped!
If he dared to disobey?
Hmph, I'll kill you until you delete your account!
If it was an ordinary lord-tier Boss, it would be fine. However, this was the first killing of the entire server! Moreover, it was a Domain-Lord tier Boss!
There must be a lot of good things that were dropped!
At least one Silver equipment!
At this stage, everyone's equipment was at best of the Iron grade. If he could get that Silver equipment, it would be much easier to accumulate advantages in the early stages!
"Everyone, move quickly! Priests, don't save any money. Recover everyone's Health Points. We have to stop him!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky waved his hand and quickly ran into the depths of the Poisonous Swamp. As he ran, he cursed, "Damn it, this map is really trash. It actually keeps losing Health Points. Fortunately, I brought many Priests this time! Otherwise, this cursed poisonous fog alone would be annoying!"
…
At the rebirth point of the Holy Light Village, Must Get That was dumbfounded and had yet to recover from his shock.
Didn't I just tell the truth?
And I have been kicked out just like that?
The others also had pained expressions.
…
[You've leveled up!]
After dealing with more than 20 Assassins, a golden light rose from Lin Bei's body.
He had leveled up!
After adding Magic Strength to all his attributes, Lin Bei put away the Goblin War Bow and looked at the pile of items on the ground. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he picked up a blue potion bottle.
[Intermediate Magic Recovery Potion: Combat Potion. After using it, recovers 100 Magic Power points per second for 10 seconds.]
"What a gift! Whatever I think comes!"
Lin Bei smiled and used an Intermediate Magic Recovery Potion.
[Intermediate Magic Recovery: Restores 100 Magic Power points per second. Duration: ∞.]
It was done!
Currently, his magic recovery had exceeded 100 points. He could manage to support the consumption of the Level-6 Discipline Spell.
Then, Lin Bei picked up 5 pieces of Iron equipment from the ground. He looked at the bushes on the side and smiled. "Friend, are you still hiding? Come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bushes facing Lin Bei trembled slightly, and a petite figure jumped out.
It was a female Assassin. Judging from her equipment, she should be Level 5.
"I just happened to pass by. I meant no harm."
"Oh? You're from the Windcloud Guild?"
"Er… yes."
"Leave."
Lin Bei waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, the female Assassin's face lit up and she turned to leave.
Whoosh!
-280! (Critical Weakness Damage!)
[You have killed I Love to Eat Lychees (Lv.5, Assassin)! You have received 160 experience points!]
"I don't believe you! You're hiding in the dark. Could you be passing by?"
Lin Bei pursed his lips. However, killing players gave him a lot of EXP. Now, he needed 30,000 EXP to level up from Level 7 to Level 8. For example, this female Assassin, he could level up again after killing less than 200 of her kind. This was much more EXP than killing Level 5 elite monsters.
Killing players gave experience. This was a specialty of Second World. Generally speaking, the experience gained from killing a player was about two times that of elite monsters of the same level. In other words, it was four times that of ordinary monsters of the same level. Therefore, there was no lack of players who deliberately ambushed people to obtain high experience to level up.
However, for Lin Bei, level was secondary. What he wanted was equipment. At this stage, the players' levels were low and they did not have much EXP. Their equipment was also trash. It was faster to farm monsters!
Now that he had the Buff of "Drop Quality +2", killing a normal wild monster was equivalent to killing a lord-tier Boss. If these players did not deliberately come to give him trouble, he would not have attacked.
At the birthpoint, I Love to Eat Lychees' face turned green. She immediately contacted Unparalleled Windcloud and told him what had happened.
Unparalleled Windcloud's eyes lit up. "Is this Priest that strong? Alright, I understand. I'll think of a way to talk to him later and see if he's willing to join our team! If it works, our team might be able to charge into CWL!"
"Hey, captain, are you listening to me or not? That Priest killed me with an arrow! I already explained that I didn't mean any harm, but he still attacked!"
"It's fine, it's just losing some experience. Hurry up and revive. Apologize in person and admit your mistake! With such strength, we have to do our best to rope him in! As for the rest, when you become teammates in the future, he can treat you to a meal offline!"
"I—"
I Love to Eat Lychees shrugged helplessly.
Sigh, forget it, forget it. Isn't it just dying once? I didn't lose much EXP. However, what the guild leader said made sense. That Priest's observation and precision of maneuvers are above all of us. If he can join the team, then for the advancement competition at the end of this year… we might really have hope!
…
"The world is finally at peace."
After looking around and confirming that there were no abnormalities, Lin Bei continued to open his backpack and looked at the few pieces of equipment that the Boss had dropped.
Limit Magic Staff (Lv.10)
Quality: Platinum
Attributes: Magic Attack +500
Special Effect: 1. Magic Attack +100.
2. Magic Attack +100.
3. Magic Attack +100.
4. Magic Attack +100.
5. Magic Attack +100.
Equipment Restriction: 100 Magic Strength
"It really lives up to its name. This attribute… is too extreme!"
Looking at the attributes of the Platinum magic staff in his bag, Lin Bei was overjoyed. As expected of a Platinum weapon dropped from the first killing, it was awesome. In total, it increased his magic attack by 1,000 points. It was ridiculous!
With such attributes, once he reached Level 10 and used the Level 6 Discipline Spell, his damage output would definitely explode!
"There are also two Gold-grade rings."
Lin Bei smiled and looked at the golden rings.
Paralysis Ring (left)
Level: 5
Quality: Gold
Special Effect: 1. Attack has a paralyzing effect, causing the target to enter a "paralyzed" state. Movement speed -30%, lasts for 5 seconds.
2. Magic Strength +10
3. Magic Strength +5
4. Lightning Resistance +15%
Paralysis Ring (right)
Level: 5
Quality: Gold
Special Effect: 1. When attacking a target in a paralysed state, the target will enter a "sensitive" state and receive an additional 30% electrical shock damage for 5 seconds.
2. Magic Critical Hit Rate +5%
3. Magic Critical Hit Rate +5%
4. Lightning Resistance +15%
The two Paralysis Rings were extremely effective when paired together!
As for the remaining two pieces of Silver Equipment, their attributes were slightly inferior.
Thunder Gauntlets
Level: 5
Quality: Silver
Attributes: Magic Critical Hit Rate +3%
Special Effect: 1. Attack has a 2% chance of casting the Falling Lightning Spell on the target, dealing 100% magic damage.
2. Magic Strength +5
3. Lightning Resistance +10%
Explosive Lightning Robe
Level: 5
Quality: Silver
Attributes: Maximum Magic Power +500, Maximum Health +500
Special Effect: 1. Attack has a 2% chance of casting Falling Lightning Spell on the target, dealing 100% magic damage.
2. Magic Strength +10
3. Physical Defense +50
Other than the Light Magic Staff, which was Level 10, the other equipment were all Level 5. Without hesitation, Lin Bei put on the other four pieces of equipment.
His attributes also increased!
Health: 2200
Magic: 2,250
Magic Attack: 500
Physical Attack Power: 150
Physical/Magic Defense: 120/110
Health Recovery: 315
Magic Recovery: 115
Physical Critical Hit Rate: 1%
Magic Critical Hit Rate: 15%
"Hmm, Magic Attack 500 points! This way, it's time to change the Buff of Holy Light Recovery!"
Lin Bei held the Mithril Scepter and cast a Holy Light Recovery Spell on himself.
[Holy Light Recovery: Restores 300 Health Points per second. Duration: ∞.]
In the blink of an eye, Lin Bei's health recovery increased from 315 to 415!
"Oh right, there's still a Silver Treasure Chest that hasn't been opened yet!"
Lin Bei's expression changed. He found the Silver treasure chest in the corner of his backpack and chose to open it.
[Successfully opened the Silver Treasure Chest!]
[You have obtained the White Wings (Silver)!]
[You have obtained a special item—Stone Dagger x3!]
[You have obtained a temporary Silver Blessing—Holy Light Contract! Duration: 1 hour!]
Lin Bei's eyes lit up.
The goods were out!
…
However, at this moment, the main forces of the three guilds had already arrived at the Thunder 20: Can a Priest Play Like This? Asking for a Recommendation Ticket
Flying Dragon in the Sky looked ahead and saw Lin Bei standing beside the throne.
"Haha! There's really only one Priest! And… the light on that ring… is actually golden!"
Gold equipment!
A piece of equipment of this quality, and it was a piece of jewelry with an extremely low drop rate!
On the first day of the game, it was worth at least hundreds of thousands of Ocean Blue coins!
Most importantly… there were two of them!
I'm rich!
Flying Dragon in the Sky's eyes lit up. He had completely lost his mind.
"The Priest in front, who gave you permission to steal our Boss? I'll give you a choice now. If you know what's good for you, return the equipment that the Boss dropped to me. Our Fighting Shark Empire can let bygones be bygones! Otherwise… your account will be crippled!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky shouted.
Although he could get someone to kill this Priest now, the two Gold-grade jewelry might not be dropped!
Therefore, to be safe, Flying Dragon in the Sky chose to threaten the other party.
Although he was a little greedy, he was not afraid at all!
The other party was just a Priest. Not to mention that the other party was more than Level 5, so what if he was Level 10?
There were 300 people on their side. How could they let this kid escape?
In Second World, the drop rate was only 10% when someone died. It would be best if the other party could take the initiative to hand over their equipment.
Lin Bei frowned slightly. He did not care about what the other party said.
In Second World, snatching Bosses happened from time to time. Everyone relied on their own abilities.
However… I had already killed all the Bosses on my side, yet they still came up to stop me and said that I had snatched the Boss. It was a little ridiculous.
With his current attributes, so what if the other party had 300 people?
To him currently, they were just a group of experience babies.
However, he did not immediately pay attention to Flying Dragon in the Sky. Instead, he turned his gaze in the other two directions. They were the members of the Windcloud Guild and the Azure Plume Guild.
"What about you guys? Do you also think that I stole your Boss?"
Lin Bei asked with a faint smile.
"There's no such thing! I'm here to invite you to join our Windcloud Guild! I have no ill intentions! If you have any needs, we can help you deal with the people from the Fighting Shark Empire!"
Unparalleled Windcloud's pupils constricted slightly as he hurriedly replied.
"Deity! Come to our guild! We have a lot of girls in our guild! And we have enough potions!"
Before Green Collar could speak, Unparalleled Plume shouted excitedly.
"…"
Lin Bei did not say anything, but regret flashed in his eyes. Windcloud and Azure Plume's people added up to 200 people. If they attacked together, he could gain more experience.
Since they did not attack, he could not start farming directly.
"Flying Dragon in the Sky, right? I'll give you ten seconds to apologize to me."
Lin Bei said calmly.
"Damn you! You're just a noob Priest, yet you're pretending to be a master?"
Flying Dragon in the Sky's expression was ferocious when he heard that. He said viciously, "Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for bringing my men to kill you until you retreat! Attack together!"
Fighting Shark Empire was only a third-rate Guild. Flying Dragon in the Sky, as the Guild Leader, knew this very well.
However, if he could get his hands on these two pieces of Gold equipment, everything would change!
On the first day of the Server launch, Gold-grade equipment was like a divine artifact!
Once they obtained it, the Fighting Shark Empire would be able to use it to create an early advantage and it would continuously snowball. In the end, their guild would become a second-rate or even a first-rate guild!
How could he give up such an opportunity?
Although the two major guilds, Windcloud and Azure Plume were still eyeing them covetously, he was not worried!
They had more than a hundred Priests on their side. They would definitely be able to heal him!
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Flying Dragon in the Sky gave the order to surround and kill Lin Bei!
However, Lin Bei sneered and took out his Goblin War Bow, shooting arrows at the crowd.
-300! (Critical Weakness Hit!)
-300! (Critical Weakness Hit!)
…
In less than 7 to 8 seconds, Lin Bei had fired more than 20 arrows in a row. Every arrow was a Critical Weakness Hit. It was an instant kill per arrow!
"Damn, this Priest's attack speed is so fast!"
In the crowd, a Warrior holding a shield exclaimed.
Under normal circumstances, if an Archer did not learn Proficiency, unless he was equipped with top-grade equipment that increased his attack speed, he could only shoot one arrow per second. However, this Priest in front of them… could shoot at least two arrows per second. It was ridiculous!
How did he do that?
Outside the crowd, Unparalleled Windcloud's eyes were filled with excitement.
This maneuver was… speedy attack archery!
Moreover, the intensity of this maneuver… was simply amazing!
Speedy attack archery was actually a leveling-up maneuver technique of an Archer. The principle was to continuously wear and remove weapons to achieve the goal of canceling the attack and resetting the attack to forcefully shoot the arrow.
It sounded very creepy, but as long as the maneuver was done properly, it would be very smooth.
Of course, this required extremely fast reaction speed and hand speed to achieve. If it was an ordinary player, even if they knew the maneuver method, they would probably be flustered and stunned on the spot, causing their attack speed to decrease instead of increasing!
"Little Forest, can you do it?"
Unparalleled Windcloud looked at his team's number one shooter, Big Bird Small Forest, and asked.
"What the damn can I do! His attack speed has refreshed to about 0.4 seconds. It's close to the limit!"
Big Bird Small Forest looked at Lin Bei, who was leisurely drawing his bow and shooting arrows, in shock. He muttered, "Look at him. He didn't use his full strength at all! Damn, all my years of maneuver practice were in vain!"
Comparisons were really infuriating!
He also knew speedy attack archery!
However… with his level, he could only achieve 0.8 seconds at most. Furthermore, it would affect his positioning and there was a risk of mistakes!
And the Priest?
From the looks of it, not only did his attack speed achieve 0.4 seconds, his positioning was not affected at all!
He was simply not human!
Even the best marksman in WWL, Bullet Rain, could only achieve 0.3 seconds at maximum maneuver! Although he was 0.1 seconds faster than the Priest, one should not forget that he was a Priest!
Priests had an attack speed penalty for using bows and arrows!
In other words, if this Priest were to change his profession to Archer, his attack speed might be even faster!
It was ridiculous!
"Captain! I feel like he's switched professions! If he's a marksman, he'll definitely be brutal!"
Big Bird Small Forest said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I think so too. Everyone, watch closely and prepare to render help!"
Unparalleled Windcloud gave the order. Everyone immediately perked up and spread out, preparing to enter the arena to help.
…
On the other hand, Unparalleled Plume was extremely excited. She kept shaking Green Collar's shoulder. "Green, did you see that? That's a Deity! We have to pull him into our guild!"
"Yes, but… he's so powerful, will he agree? After all, we're a new guild, isn't it…"
Green Collar hesitated.
"Who cares! Let's pull him in first! If he doesn't agree… we'll add him as a friend! In the future, if someone bullies us, we can pay him to help, right?"
Unparalleled Plume pouted and said, "Alright, alright. Don't worry so much. Hurry up and tell your men to prepare to help! Can't you see that the people from the Windcloud Guild are already making a move?"
"Ah? Okay."
…
"Damn, is this a Priest?"
Deity Gou is not the Dog Deity, who had rushed to the Thunder Ruins, was stunned. He looked at Lin Bei, who was constantly moving around and shooting arrows at his enemies. He was completely dumbfounded.
'Priests can do that?'
At the same time, the audience in the live-stream also saw Lin Bei's powerful maneuver.
"Damn, is this a Priest? Even I, a Level 50 Archer, am not as ridiculous as him!"
"It's over. I'm Level 60. I don't understand this maneuver at all. Should I start again?"
"What's a Critical Weakness Hit? It can actually insta-kill people? Is it a level-S talent?"
"Talent my ass! Have you seen WWL? Have you seen the maneuvers of Bullet Rain? This is a top-notch operation. It's not a talent at all!"
"Oh my god, he's so strong. Why didn't he switch to become an Archer?"
"Who knows? Maybe a Priest is better?" 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝘮
"Brother, do you believe it? Can a Priest clash with an Archer? Do you believe that I'll blow up your dog head from 800 miles away?"
"That's right, that's right! It's obvious that he made a mistake in his professional advancement! If not, I'll livestream myself making a handstand!"
"Brother above, remember to broadcast. I'll send you gifts!"
…
In the Thunder Ruins, the battle had already reached its climax!
Flying Dragon in the Sky's expression was ferocious as cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
This maneuver stunned him!
He could not help but recall the reports of the Assassins he had kicked out of the guild, and his heart twitched fiercely.
It turned out that it wasn't that they were noobs, but that this Priest was too strong!
"Damn, I can't back down now! However, no matter how strong his maneuver was, can he cause an upheaval? I've to go all the way!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky's eyes were gloomy as he shouted, "Everyone, don't be afraid! Surround him together! Once he gets close, he will definitely die! I will reward everyone who dies with 100 Ocean Blue Coins! If anyone can kill this Priest, I will reward him with 1,000 Ocean Blue Coins!"
"Alright! Big Brother is mighty!"
A Warrior shouted and led the charge.
The others perked up when they heard this and rushed over at their fastest speed!
The scene became even more chaotic.
Even with Lin Bei's speedy attack archery, he was still struggling against the charge of hundreds of players.
Soon, the group of people arrived within ten meters of Lin Bei!
"Oh no! Deity is in trouble!"
"Everyone, attack together!"
The two major guilds, Azure Plume and Windcloud, moved at the same time!
At the edge of the ruins, Deity Gou's face was filled with regret. He said helplessly, "Sigh, there's only one person after all, and he's a Priest. His movement speed is too slow. Otherwise, if he climbed up the tree and moved, he might have room to maneuver. Unfortunately, he's dead for sure this time."
In the live broadcast room, everyone also felt that the Priest was helpless.
However, everyone was still excited. This Priest was really too powerful!
If he had not made a mistake in his professional advancement, he would definitely be ridiculously strong!
Perhaps if he was given time to grow, he could even join a professional team and compete with the marksman, Bullet Rain!
"This Priest is too strong!"
"I love him, I love him. I'll be his fan from now on!"
"This maneuver is definitely top-notch! Awesome!"
In the live broadcast room, although everyone was certain that the Priest would die, they were still incomparably impressed with his maneuvering technique.
Such skills shocked them!
However, just as everyone thought that the dust had settled, a holy light appeared in the Thunder Ruins and directly pierced through the encirclement of the Fighting Shark Empire, tearing a huge hole in the crowd!
Holy Light Burst!
'-478!'
'-470!'
'-488!'
…
A series of damage numbers floated up, and a vacuum appeared in the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 people from the Fighting Shark Empire had died!
In an instant, be it the two guilds that were prepared to help, the people from Fighting Shark Empire, or the audience in Deity Gou's live-stream, they were all stunned.
"Damn… Was that Holy Light Burst just now? This damage… is fake, right?"
"Damn, can a Priest play in this manner? The damage output is so violent!"
"Is this still a healer? Is this a Combat Priest?"
"Damn, the name Combat Priest is so cool! Combat Priest is awesome!"
"Combat Priest is awesome!"
"Combat Priest is awesome!"
The live broadcast room was filled with comments of "Combat Priest is awesome".
Deity Gou's face was filled with shock. His brain was about to lose its ability to think because… that Priest raised the magic staff in his hand again with a smile and a second Holy Light Burst!
Swoosh!
A large amount of white light appeared, and more than ten people from the Fighting Shark Empire fell!
Didn't his skills need to cool down?
Deity Gou was dumbfounded.
Holy Light Burst!
Holy Light Burst!
Holy Light Burst!
In less than 20 seconds, more than a hundred people from the Fighting Shark Empire had died!
At the same time, the post about the Combat Priest torturing and killing 300 people of the Fighting Shark Empire was like a bomb that instantly ignited the entire forum!
Chapter 21: The First Bucket of Gold! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket (1)
"Is this Priest cheating? What kind of cooldown is this? A Holy Light Burst in three seconds? Is he playing with unlimited firepower?"
"Second World has been open for almost four years. Have you ever seen a cheat? There's not even a bug. This is a virtual space created by the core mastermind of the ruins of a high-level alien civilization. Do you think this is a joke?"
"Compared to his skill cooldown, I'm more concerned about his positioning and maneuvers. Isn't this too amazing? His attack speed and archery skills are comparable to that of the deity Bullet Rain, right? He's too slick!"
"Big Brother above, don't try to scam us! Deity Bullet Rain is a top WWL Archer. Although the Priest in the video is top-notch, he's only facing ordinary PVE players. If he encounters professional players, he won't even have room to survive. How can he have time to launch a speedy attack?"
"No matter what, this Combat Priest is something!"
…
On the forum, many posts about the "mysterious Combat Priest" of the Heavenly Might Server appeared. Soon, they overshadowed the earlier posts about the very popular advancing big brother, Inner Peace."
Soon, a player named All-knowing Man in Ganghood posted an analysis post about "mysterious Combat Priest", attracting the attention of most players.
This All-knowing Man in Gang Hood was quite famous in Second World. He had a post of Conferred Deity Series. There were a total of 20 people on it, and they were all popular legends in WWL. Therefore, everyone liked to read his analysis posts. After all, his standard was much better than some posts that were just for attracting traffic and clicks.
"Hello everyone, the Server has just opened today. I didn't expect two highly discussed characters to appear!"
"One of them is a PVE big brother called Inner Peace, and the other is a PVP big brother called Combat Priest!"
"We're discussing this Combat Priest today!"
"I believe everyone has seen the chaotic battle video. I have to say that this Combat Priest is definitely top-notch in his maneuver! In my previous Conferred Deity posts, there are no more than five people who can make maneuvers like him! Let me explain the reasons next."
"Everyone knows that the limit of marksman Bullet Rain's Speedy Attack Archery maneuver is 3 consecutive shots in 1 second, but don't forget the profession of this Combat Priest! In Second World, other than Assassins and Archers, there is an attack speed penalty for using bows and arrows! The attack speed penalty for Warriors is 10%, while the attack speed penalty for Magic professions is 20%!"
"In the video, the speedy attack archery maneuver of the Combat Priest can be clearly seen in slow motion. It's 0.41 seconds. In other words, at the same level of operation, if he's an Archer, his attack speed can reach about 0.33 seconds! Such a statistic is already on par with the marksman, Bullet Rain!"
"Of course, the data on Bullet Rain was when the three servers opened. It has been two years since then, so the level of the Combat Priest can only be said to be the same as Bullet Rain two years ago."
"However, we can come to a conclusion from this. If this Combat Priest opens a new account and switches to the Archer profession, he will have the strength to enter WWL in at most a year or two!"
"His potential is terrifying! The only thing he lacks is experience."
"As for the CD problem that everyone is arguing about, I wonder if everyone still remembers the Ultimate Potion? Back then, Longevity Sword used the Ultimate Potion to force Divine Descent into a deadlock! It was not until the ninth round of the fierce battle and the duration of the Ultimate Potion passed that Divine Descent obtained the final victory!"
"And from the information I received, this Ultimate Potion only has one effect, and that is to reduce the cooldown period by 90%! The cooldown time of the Combat Priest's Holy Light Burst in the video is 3 seconds, which matches the conclusion that Ultimate Potion has been used."
"That's why I deduced that Combat Priest has used an Ultimate Potion! The duration of the Ultimate Potion is 2 hours, so after some time, his cooldown period will return to its original state."
"Lastly, to summarize, this anonymous Combat Priest has the potential to become a deity, but there is a prerequisite. He has to retrain his account and change his profession to an Archer. Otherwise, he might grow and become a Master, but he will never become a top Master!"
"This is the All-knowing Man in Gang Hood. Let's meet again next time!"
…
The other players agreed after reading the post.
Lin Bei glanced at the content of the post and smiled. This All-knowing Man in Gang Hood did have something, but he had calculated wrongly. The reason why his cooldown period was so short was not because of Ultimate Potion, but because of the unlimited Buff of his level-SSS talent!
"But what he said reminded me of something. Looks like it's time to find a way to get a bottle of Ultimate Potion!"
Lin Bei thought to himself. After all, he only had a Holy Light skill with a 90% cooldown reduction effect. If he had the Ultimate Potion to work with his talent, he could reduce the cooldown period of all his skills by 90%!
"Ultimate Potion… It seems to be an item that Mutated Bosses have a chance of dropping. However… it seems that only emperor-tier Mutated Bosses will drop this potion. It's a little troublesome."
Lin Bei frowned. Although he had the Quality +2 bonus, which meant that if he wanted to get the emperor-tier drops, he needed to kill the Sector-Lord tier Mutated Boss. And Sector-Lord tier Bosses were at least level 40. With his current attributes, he would only be sending himself to death.
Chapter 22: The First Bucket of Gold! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket (2)
"Forget it, it's useless to think about this now. I'll just kill them when my level increases in the future. On the other hand, the treasure chest this time was quite good. It actually gave me special equipment and a powerful Buff!"
Lin Bei looked around. He had already killed all the people from the Fighting Shark Empire. Now, there were only four people left in front of him. On one side was Unparalleled Windcloud and I Love to Eat Lychees from the Windcloud Guild, and on the other side were Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume from Azure Plume Guild.
As for the other players in the guilds, they had already been dismissed.
"Are you really not considering joining our 'Windcloud Team'? If you can join us, I'm confident that we'll be able to enter the CWL (Challenger League) by the end of the year! When the time comes, we'll be an elite team! We can get more sponsorships and earn more money!"
Unparalleled Windcloud said excitedly.
"No need. I don't want to play professionally now."
Lin Bei shook his head and turned down. Of course, it was not that he did not want to play professionally. He had seen the ability of top professional players to earn money in his previous life. There was only one reason why he rejected Unparalleled Windcloud. He was too lousy!
These people did not look young. The oldest was probably 30 years old. Their reaction speed was far inferior. Therefore, instead of joining them and wasting time, it was better to build a team himself and pull the top professional players who had risen in the later stages into the team to fight in the competition. Coupled with his experience and skills that far exceeded current players, he would soon be able to enter the WWL!
What's more, he still had the names of many top-notch talent accounts in his mind. When the time came, with these accounts and the hard work of those genius players, it would no longer be a problem to unify the professional battlefield!
"…Alright, but we from Windcloud welcome you to join us any time! If you change your mind, you can look for me anytime!"
"Yes, definitely."
Soon, the two people from the Windcloud Guild left.
"Deity, do you want to join our Azure Plume Guild? Don't worry, we won't fight and kill. We won't disturb your normal leveling!"
Unparalleled Plume looked at Lin Bei expectantly and said, "Our Azure Plume Guild has just started. In the future, we will make our guild into a commercial guild. At that time, the income will be very considerable! Do consider this. We can consider giving you some shares now!"
"Eh?"
Lin Bei was stunned when he heard this and was a little tempted.
He knew this Azure Plume Guild. Even in his previous life, it was a commercial guild that could be ranked in the top 20. Its market value was as high as 5 billion Ocean Blue coins. If he could control Azure Plume Guild, it would be a good thing for his future development.
"Alright, I want 51% of the shares."
After careful consideration, Lin Bei nodded in agreement.
"51%?! Are you kidding me?!"
Unparalleled Plume glared at Lin Bei. She didn't even want to level up anymore and just logged off. She didn't want to see this Combat Priest anymore. He was too infuriating. How could he ask for 51% of the shares? Did he have a brain?
Such a brainless person, it was better for him not to come to her guild.
Lin Bei couldn't help but laugh. I haven't even told you my conditions and she has already gone offline?
Can't you be more patient?
However, he was not in a hurry. Being in control of Azure Plume Guild was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. Since the other party was unwilling, he had other ways to earn money. It was just a little troublesome.
Seeing that Green Collar was also about to go offline, Lin Bei smiled and said, "Alright, don't go offline. I have a batch of equipment here. I wonder if you guys want it?"
"Huh? I… Let me see."
Green Collar seemed a little shy, not daring to look directly at Lin Bei.
"Yes, there are a total of 120 pieces of Iron-grade equipment here, ranging from Level 3 to 5. Each piece costs 5 gold coins."
"And there is also Bronze equipment, a total of 20 pieces, 50 gold coins each."
As Lin Bei spoke, he opened the trading interface and threw all the equipment he did not want in his bag onto it. He said, "The equipment cost a total of 1,600 gold coins!"
"This…?!"
Green Collar looked at the pile of equipment on the trading interface and was stunned.
Although this was her first time playing this game, she had done some homework in advance. Lin Bei's asking price was definitely not expensive, and it was very fair. Most importantly… wasn't the quantity a little too much?
With such a batch of equipment, their Azure Plume Guild would definitely be able to accumulate a considerable advantage in the early stages!
Unfortunately…
"I'm sorry, I don't have that much gold."
Green Collar sighed.
"It doesn't matter. We can trade in cash directly. However, the game has just started, so the rate is a little high. 1 gold coin will be 150 Ocean Blue coins. If you can accept it, we can trade now."
"Good!" 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐧𝐞𝘁
Green Collar's eyes lit up when she heard this. She immediately transferred 240,000 Ocean Blue coins to Lin Bei's game account.
[Your account has received 24,000 Ocean Blue coins! Current balance is 240,001 Ocean Blue coins!]
It was done!
Lin Bei smiled. He had gotten his first bucket of gold in Second World!
Next, he had to go offline to buy a batch of game login helmets. Then, he had to rent a room outside the school. Otherwise, when school started and he returned to school, his roommates would inevitably notice something abnormal.
"Happy cooperation!"
Lin Bei smiled and added Green Collar as a friend. "I'll trade with you next time I have equipment!"
Swoosh!
With that, he went offline.
Green Collar stared at the hundreds of glowing equipment in her backpack, stunned for a long time.
…
On the other side, after logging off, Lin Bei immediately rushed to the game login tokens store near the school and bought 50 gaming helmets in one go. The merchant was very considerate and gave him a 20% discount, so he only spent 120,000 Ocean Blue coins to buy them all.
After returning to the dormitory, Lin Bei immediately posted the rental information online and quickly created an account.
This could not be delayed for too long. Who knew if those players with powerful talents in his previous life had already entered the game if it was too late?
The earlier he controlled these accounts with top-notch talents, the more important it was than leveling up now.
[Successfully created character Aladdin! Obtained level-S talent Magic Emptiness!]
[Magic Emptiness: Level-S talent. All attacks have the effect of Magic Emptiness, which consumes the target's magic power. After the target's magic power is exhausted, the Demon Hunter state will be triggered. Your attack speed, movement speed, and spellcasting speed will increase by 100%. Moreover, the target will receive true damage equivalent to the upper limit of your magic power. Duration: 60 seconds.]
"As expected, his talent is different from his previous life!"
Lin Bei's eyes darkened. This player called Aladdin was a top Summoner in his previous life. His talent was also level-S talent related to summoning creatures. However, in this life, although the talent he obtained from creating a character was also level-S, his specific talent had changed!
"In other words, the character name will only determine the level of the talent, but the talent is random!"
[Successfully created character "Cute Little Round"! Obtained level-SS talent Magic Medicine Field!]
[Magic Medicine Field: Level-SS talent. The growth speed of all the medicinal fields under your name has increased by 10 times.]
"Tsk tsk, the Magic Deity Talent from my previous life has actually become the talent of a farming big brother!"
Lin Bei smiled and continued to create characters.
[Character name repeated! Please enter again!]
…
Just like that, Lin Bei operated more than 70 times before all 50 accounts were created.
Among them, there were a total of 3 level-SS talents, 12 level-S talents, and the remaining 35 were all level-A talents. After separating the combat and life-type talents, there was only one level-SS talent among the combat-type talents. Among the life-type talents, there were actually 2 level-SS talents. This made Lin Bei's teeth hurt. However, since things had come to this, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
However, level-S talents were all combat-type professions, which made him feel much better.
"With these, I have enough resources! In the future, even if everything goes wrong, just selling these top-notch talent accounts is enough to earn a lot of money!"
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes. It was only now that he felt relieved.
"I'll call Mom and Dad and tell them to go home and rest."
After some thought, Lin Bei called his parents.
Next, he had to continue earning money to treat his sister's illness!
"100 million Ocean Blue coins… I can do it!"
Lin Bei's eyes were firm as he thought.
Chapter 23: Holy Light Contract! White Wings! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket!
"Xiaobei? What's the matter?"
"Mom, please come home."
Lin Bei said over the phone, "I earned 200,000 yuan from the new server of Second World. I'll earn more in the future. You don't have to suffer anymore. Sister can get better treatment in the future!"
"How much?"
"240,000, to be exact."
Lin Bei smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, come back. It's not safe to drive a freight truck outside. I plan to build a professional team and need help. Come back and help."
"Well …"
Jiang Xia looked at Lin Yuanshan beside her and asked.
"Alright, Xiaobei. We'll finish our work first. We'll help you later. It'll be a week at most."
"Alright, be careful on the road! I'll transfer 100,000 to you later and repay the car loan."
Then, Lin Bei chatted with his parents for a while before hanging up.
Although his parents had promised to come back and help, it was not difficult for him to tell from their words that they were worried about him.
"However, this is only the beginning! I have the game experience and technology of the current era. It's not difficult to earn money!"
Lin Bei's gaze was firm. Moreover, he had a batch of accounts with top-notch talents.
With these, he believed that he could quickly dispel his parents' doubts!
…
"What do you think, Family Head?"
Jiang Xia looked at the 100,000 dollars transfer notification on her phone and smiled bitterly.
"Sigh, I guess this kid is just lucky. He got a first killing or something, dropped some equipment, and sold them for some money. But this situation depends on luck. It's not very stable. And even if Xiaobei has talent, this world doesn't lack talent. The path of a profession isn't as easy as he thinks!"
Lin Yuanshan used to be a professional player in other games when he was young, but he didn't make a name for himself and retired in the end.
Therefore, Lin Yuanshan was very clear about the difficulties and dangers of the professional path. Therefore, after Lin Bei said that he wanted to establish a professional team, it was normal for him to be worried.
"Save the money for Xiaobei. It's time for us to go back. It's time to pay for Snowy's medical fees and visit Xiaobei. We can't let him take a wrong turn!"
"Alright, let's do that."
Jiang Xia nodded and smiled.
She did not object to Lin Bei playing the game, but he had to prioritize. If he blindly invested in the game's gold rush because of an unexpected gain, he would probably suffer a huge blow in the end.
…
As for Lin Bei, after finding an intermediary to show him the house, he quickly logged into Second World. It was the early stages of the game, and he had to lose no time in his development. He had just logged off and spent a lot of time. What he needed to do now was to develop as soon as possible, get more equipment and sell them for money.
As soon as he went online, Lin Bei opened the level rankings and took a look.
"Fortunately, the first place is only at Level 7 with 81% EXP. This is too slow! Looks like I should be able to obtain the System reward for breaking through Level 10!"
Lin Bei heaved a sigh of relief. He had 49% EXP at Level 7 and was currently ranked 9th on the Level Rankings. The reason why he had so much EXP was all thanks to the 200 to 300 people from the Fighting Shark Empire giving him EXP. Otherwise, he would probably have been dropped off from the level rankings long ago.
"There's no hurry. I'll upgrade Mutated Blood to the maximum level first!"
Lin Bei opened the skill list. After leveling up continuously, he had obtained another 4 potential points, which was just enough to upgrade Mutated Blood to Level 5!
Mutated Blood (Universal skill)
Level: Lv.5
Use a bottle of monster blood to mutate the target. Mutation Grade = Blood Grade.
Number of releases: 5
Spellcasting Range: 300 meters
Cooldown: 12 hours
Consumption: 1 bottle of monster blood
"Very good! This way, as long as I have enough monster blood, I can kill 10 Mutated Bosses a day!"
Lin Bei was very satisfied with the effect of the Level 5 Mutated Blood. Then, he opened his backpack and looked at Explosive Thunder Karno's corpse. He directly used the Mutated Blood to extract the corpse's blood.
[Extraction successful! Obtained monster blood (Domain-Lord tier) x3!]
"It actually yielded three bottles of monster blood!"
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Currently he had the bonus from the "+200% drop rate" Buff, so it was not strange that there were three bottles now when it was only one bottle of monster blood originally.
"However, currently, I don't have enough potential points. Although the Buff doubled the potential points I obtained, I'm still a little short of them."
Lin Bei frowned and looked at the huge "0" behind the potential points. He felt a little uncomfortable. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈
In Second World, players could learn two new professional skills every five levels, and every time they learned a skill, they would need to spend 1 potential point. Therefore, it was almost impossible to learn all the skills. Therefore, players needed to make a reasonable distribution and make a choice.
However, for Lin Bei, the pressure of potential points was even greater. This was because he planned to use the profession expansion scroll to change more professions in the future. Coupled with the Mutated Blood skill, he would have even more powerful universal skills in the future. This way, his potential points would be even tighter.
Therefore, although he could obtain 2 potential points for every level up, it was still not enough!
"Eh, wait! My Holy Light Burst… How did it reach Level 5?"
Lin Bei, who was worrying about potential points, suddenly froze because he suddenly realized that his Holy Light Burst had somehow increased to Level 5.
"Could it be… the Buff from the Silver Treasure Chest?"
Lin Bei's eyes moved. He immediately opened his status panel and was overjoyed.
It was indeed this Buff!
Moreover… this Buff was a freak!
[Holy Light Contract: The power of the Holy Temple Contract increases. All Holy Light-type skills +4 (Unbreakable). Duration: ∞.]
Amazing!
It was a +4 Buff for all skills!
Under normal circumstances, this kind of Buff would be obtained from a treasure chest. Moreover, there was a time limit. It could only make people feel good for a short period of time. However, the problem was that he had an Unlimited Buff talent! It directly changed the duration to permanent!
This way, he could permanently obtain the Buff effect of +4 skill level. For Lin Bei, who was in short supply of potential points, this was definitely great news!
"Although it's only to increase the level of Holy Light skills, it's enough!"
Lin Bei was a little excited and could not wait to clean his points, but… cleaning points required the Water of Oblivion which could only be sold after Level 20, and after entering a Level 3 main city.
"I can only wait until I reach Level 20!"
With his speed, it would still be very fast for him to reach Level 20.
"The most important thing now is to reach Level 10 and get the System reward! Moreover, that nightmare-level mission is also in the Level 10 area. When the time comes, I can do both together."
Lin Bei had a plan in mind. Then, he quickly walked into the depths of the Gloomy Jungle.
At the same time, Lin Bei looked at the other two rewards from opening the Silver Treasure Chest in his inventory.
White Wings (Special Equipment)
Level: 10
Flight: After activation, you will gain the ability to fly. Movement speed increased by 100%. Duration: 60 seconds. Cooldown: 300 seconds.
Special Effect: 1. Holy Light Damage +10%
2. Holy Light Damage Bonus 10%
3. Holy Light Damage Bonus 10%
Top-grade equipment! And it was special equipment!
Special equipment was an equipment that was independent of that in the fixed equipment column. In other words, it would not occupy the equipment column!
Moreover, every special equipment would have its own equipment skill. It was very powerful!
Generally speaking, the exposure of special equipment was extremely low. Even top-notch players might not have one. He did not expect that a Silver Treasure Chest rewarded by the first killing would actually give him one. He was really lucky.
"This additional effect is simply top-notch for me!"
Lin Bei was overjoyed and quickly took out the Stone Dagger from his backpack.
[Stone Dagger: Special tool that can be used to strengthen or refresh the equipment's special effects.]
There were three Stone Daggers, which were just enough to strengthen the three special effects of the White Wings.
[Enhancement successful! Holy Light damage increased by 15%!]
[Enhancement successful! Holy Light damage increased by 15%!]
[Enhancement successful! Holy Light damage increased by 15%!]
In an instant, the Holy Light damage bonus of the White Wings increased to 45%!
In Second World, the success rate of the first enhancement of each special effect was 100%, the success rate of the second enhancement was 50%, the third enhancement was 25%, and so on.
Moreover, when the enhancement failed, the special effect would be reduced to Level 1. After the Level 3 enhancement, if the enhancement failed, the special effect would directly disappear. Therefore, even in his previous life, there were very few enhancements of special effects above Level 3. Usually, it was already a top-notch special effect enhancement by reaching Level 3.
Of course, the chance of getting a Stone Dagger was not high. Other than obtaining it by chance from opening a treasure chest like what Lin Bei did, there were also two ways, which was to obtain mission rewards or Boss rewards.
However, only missions with difficulty level of Hell Mode and above would drop such items. As for Boss drops, he could only rely on the probability of Mutated Bosses dropping them.
Of course, this was not difficult for Lin Bei, especially for Mutated Bosses. He could kill 10 of them in a day!
"With these White Wings and the Limit Magic Staff, when I reach Level 10, my attributes will definitely be very explosive! At that time, I'm afraid I can insta-kill the Boss, right?"
Lin Bei was a little excited. This way, his farming speed would increase greatly, and his speed of obtaining equipment would also increase greatly!
Earning money was even faster!
"I'll use the three bottles of monster blood first and fight a few Mutated Bosses. If I can get a Stone Dagger, I'll also strengthen the Limit Magic Staff!"
Lin Bei's footsteps were quick as he arrived at the depths of Gloomy Jungle. There were Level 8 Minotaurs all over the place, which was perfect for him to level up!
Soon, Lin Bei found a wandering Minotaur. Without a word, he used the Mutated Blood skill on it.
[Target has mutated!]
[Mutated Minotaur (Lv.8, Domain-Lord tier)]
Success!
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. He raised his hand and threw a Discipline Spell!
Chapter 24: Mountain of Equipment! (1)
'-5,000!'
-13,000! (Magic Critical Hit + Paralysis Ring Electricity Sensing Bonus)
In one second, two Discipline Spells took out more than 10% of the Mutated Minotaur's Health Points!
"Not bad, 150,000 Health Points are considered a health bull, but before me… they're not enough!"
Lin Bei smiled and waved the Mithril Scepter in his hand. Discipline Spell landed every 0.5 seconds. After 10 seconds, the Domain-Lord tier Mutated Minotaur wailed and fell to the ground.
[You killed Mutated Minotaur (Domain-Lord tier)! Obtained 8800 experience points!]
Swoosh!
Lin Bei's experience bar instantly increased by more than 25%!
[Level: Level 7 (76.5%)]
"Not bad. One more Mutated Minotaur and I'll be able to reach Level 8!"
Lin Bei put the equipment and items that the Boss dropped into his backpack and did not look at them. He wanted to advance to Level 10 first!
[The Minotaur has mutated!]
[You have killed a Mutated Minotaur! Obtained 8,800 experience points!]
[You have leveled up! Obtained 5 free attribute points and 1 potential point!]
[Detected Elena's Blessing. Additional 5 free basic attribute points and 1 potential point obtained!] 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Lin Bei added all his attributes to his magic power. As for his potential points, they were useless. He would wait until he had a good skill in the future.
"Level 8 to Level 9 requires 74,000 EXP. Level 9 to Level 10 requires 100,000 EXP. In other words, I need to kill more than 20 Mutated Bosses. Unfortunately, the cooldown of the Mutated Blood skill can't keep up. Otherwise, leveling up would be simple."
Lin Bei casually killed a Mutated Minotaur and obtained 8,000 experience points. There was no cross-level bonus. Killing a Domain-Lord tier Boss only gave him 100 times the experience of a normal wild monster.
After collecting the items and collecting the corpses, Lin Bei obtained another 3 bottles of Domain-Lord tier monster blood.
Now, his backpack had more than 30 pieces of equipment above Silver Quality, including 5 Platinum Quality, 12 Gold Quality, and 20 Silver Quality.
The five Platinum-grade items were all Level 10 equipment. Lin Bei could not equip himself with them now, but there were five Gold items that he could equip himself with now. He was not picky and wore them directly.
He had also changed all the other Bronze equipment to Silver equipment.
At this point, his attributes had increased by a large margin.
Health Points: 3,500
Magic Strength: 4,200
Magic Attack: 850
Physical Attack: 300
Physical Defense/Magic Defense: 300/500
Health Recovery: 965 (Level 5 Holy Light Recovery + Intermediate Combat Potion + other Buffs)
Magic Strength Recovery: 165 (50 points equipment bonus)
Physical Critical Hit Rate: 10%
Magic Critical Hit Rate: 30%
"Explosive Upgrade!"
Lin Bei looked at his new attributes in satisfaction. Right now, he could deal 8,500 damage with just one Discipline Spell. If he triggered a Magic Critical Hit… it would be even more terrifying!
Most importantly, his Discipline Spell had a cooldown of 0.5 seconds. If he really used it, coupled with the damage bonus of the Paralysis Ring, his DPS would be close to 20,000 points!
With such attributes, even a Level 10 lord-tier Boss would find it difficult to withstand for a second!
Unless it was a blood bull, but it would only last for one more second.
"My magic strength attributes have already exceeded 300 points under the enhancement of my equipment. Looks like it won't be long before I can break through 2,000 points of magic strength and unlock the Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough!"
Lin Bei laughed in his heart.
This development speed was ridiculously fast.
However, it was also thanks to his level-SSS talent. Otherwise, even if his maneuvers and experience were online, he would not have been able to develop so quickly.
As for the Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough, it was actually a setting in Second World. Every single attribute would obtain a special skill after breaking through 2,000 points. As for the Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough, it was a special skill that would only be unlocked after breaking through 2,000 points.
[Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough: Within 10 seconds, probability of Magic Critical Hit 100%, Magic Critical Hit damage +100%, Cooldown 60 seconds]
This was the Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough. It was very powerful!
Most importantly, this was a Buff skill!
If Lin Bei mastered it, he could directly obtain a permanent magic strength limit breakthrough. This way, his damage output would reach a higher level!
Of course, apart from Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough, there were also Agility Breakthrough, Constitution Breakthrough, and Strength Breakthrough. These special skills were also ridiculously powerful. Of course, Lin Bei would not let them go. However, for him currently, the most important thing now was to increase his Magic Strength. As for the other three special skills, he could slow down a little and think of a way in the future.
"At the current stage, the highest level of players is only a little over 80. The highest Bosses that can be conquered are probably king-tier. In terms of equipment, they are at most Platinum! Even if some hidden missions enabled him to obtain the Diamond equipment, the quantity is extremely rare! In addition, they only have 5 free basic attribute points at Level 1. It's impossible for them to add points to the limit like me. Therefore, the possibility of a single attribute breaking through 2,000 points is very slim."
This was an opportunity!
Lin Bei thought to himself.
After being reborn, he knew of settings that no one else knew about. Players who broke through the attribute limit for the first time would obtain an enhanced version of the special skill. Although he did not know the specific effect of the enhanced version of the special skill, he was sure that it was definitely more powerful than the ordinary version!
"I have to strive to obtain all four enhanced special skills! This way, combined with my talent, I will obtain a greater advantage!"
Compared to the others, his advantage was that he could obtain 10 magic strength attributes for every level he advanced. Moreover, he knew in advance that his attributes had broken through the limit. No one else knew!
Other than that, he could also farm Mutated Bosses and obtain a Stone Dagger that could be used to refresh special effects!
Chapter 25: Mountain of Equipment (2)!
As long as he could equip himself with a full set of Platinum and Diamond equipment, and then use the Stone Dagger to refresh all the additional special attributes into a single attribute bonus, it would be easier for him to accumulate the attributes. This way, it would be much easier for him to obtain four special skills that would break through the attribute limit!
"Looks like I have to work harder. Who knows if the others will obtain top-grade equipment and increase their attributes to more than 2,000 points?"
Lin Bei thought to himself and became more anxious. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
Fortunately, his luck was good just now. The three Mutated Minotaurs had dropped a total of nine Stone Daggers. To him, this was good news.
However, the bad news was that not a single Limit Breaking Crystal had been dropped.
Although there was a +200% drop rate, the drop rate of the Limit Breaking Crystal was still too poor.
As for the universal skill books, because they were bound to be dropped, three of them had been dropped.
[Full of Vigor: Universal Skill, Lv.1. Increases Maximum Health Points by 20% (+20%/lv) after use. Duration: 10 (+1/lv) minutes. Cooldown: 1 (-0.1/lv) hour.]
[Swift Movement: Universal Skill, Lv.1. Increases movement speed by 20% (+20%) after use. Duration: 12 (+2/lv). Cooldown: 10 (-1/lv) minutes.]
[Source of Magic Strength: Universal Skill, Lv.1. Recover 1% (+1%/lv) Magic Strength every second after use. Duration: 6 (+1/lv) seconds. Cooldown: 10 (-1/lv) minutes.]
"As expected of a universal skill. The effect of the skill is really awesome! It's a pity that I only have 2 potential points. Sigh, I originally thought that with the Buff of the Holy Light Contract, I wouldn't have to worry about potential points. Now, it seems like I was overthinking."
Lin Bei could not help but sigh. "These universal skills have such awesome attributes. If I don't learn them, am I still human? But if I learn them, I really don't have enough potential points!"
After hesitating for a while, Lin Bei first learned the Source of Magic Strength and Swift Movement. As for Full of Vigor, he was not in a hurry. Now that his Health Points were close to 1000, it was difficult for him to die even if he wanted to. On the other hand, the Priest's innate short legs restricted his movement. With Swift Movement, he could relax a lot. Apart from that, the percentage of Magic Strength recovery of the Source of Magic Strength also solved his endurance problem. In the future, he would not have to worry about not having enough Magic Strength when he farmed monsters and unleashed his skills!
[Magic Recovery: 207]
"Wonderful."
Lin Bei smiled and walked towards the Minotaurs. He still had two more uses of the Mutated Blood. He would kill two more Mutated Minotaurs first!
…
"Cousin, I think we can increase our investment!"
In a luxurious villa in Shanghai, Green Collar said to a woman with a hot figure beside her.
"Sure. I've been wanting to increase my investment for a long time, but you've been hesitating. Why have you changed your mind now?"
Unparalleled Plume was stunned.
"I… just bought a batch of equipment. The quality is not bad. If we operate it well, it can help us build a considerable advantage in the early stages."
Green Collar said with a look of seriousness.
"A batch of equipment? Ordinary quality? But ordinary equipment is useless."
"It's not ordinary quality. It's Iron-grade. There are also a few pieces of Bronze equipment."
Green Collar explained. At the same time, she told Unparalleled Plume about her previous exchange with Lin Bei.
Inner Peace? Why does this name sound so familiar! Wait!"
Unparalleled Plume picked up her phone and logged into Second World's official forum. She searched for Inner Peace and a large number of posts instantly filled the entire phone screen!
"So it's him! No wonder it sounds so familiar. Inner Peace… Our PVE big brother from the 9th Server! I didn't expect him to be the same person as the Combat Priest!"
Unparalleled Plume exclaimed, "Green, I'll go back and sell my villa now so that you can invest more money in it! Also, this Inner Peace fella, we'll have to think of a way to get him into our guild!"
"Sell the villa? Cousin, are you crazy? That's the dowry Uncle prepared for you. If you sell it, won't you anger Uncle to his death?"
Green Collar was a little confused. "Also, that person asked for 51% of our shares!"
"…That's true. The pressure of selling the villa is a little high. Forget it, I'll rent it out first. It'll be two to three hundred thousand yuan a month. I'll just make do with this first. As for the shares, isn't that negotiable?"
Unparalleled Plume said, "We can give him 20% of the shares. That's already a lot! If there's really no other way, you can go and set up a betting agreement or something to lure him into our guild. You're a top student from Harvard Business School, so this should be easy, right? As long as the benefits are substantial enough, he will definitely take the bait!"
"Uh… Is that good? That's scamming…"
"How can this be called a scam? Of course, it depends on the wishes of both parties! Isn't it normal for one to be willing to fight and the other to suffer? Besides, we have to bear a certain risk."
Unparalleled Plume curled her lips and said, "Alright, it's settled then. I'll rent out the villa and move in with you. We can discuss the future development of the guild together."
"Well… okay."
Green Collar thought about it and nodded in agreement.
She had always wanted to make a career and prove to her family that her choice was right. Who said that playing games was not a proper job?
If she played well, she could earn money by playing games!
And it was a lot of money!
Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she had to seize it and let Azure Plume Guild develop into a top guild!
Chapter 26: Mountain of Equipment! (3)
"Contact him when we get online later."
Green Collar thought to herself, "He's so powerful, so he should be able to get a lot of equipment, right?"
…
Deep in Gloomy Jungle, Lin Bei helplessly scanned his inventory.
The equipment was already piled up like a mountain!
It seemed that he had to think of a way to deal with it.
At this moment, he received a private message from Green Collar.
"Is the Deity here? I want to buy a few pieces of equipment from you. Do you have time?"
"How many pieces do you want?"
"I want as many as there are above Iron-grade!"
'As many as I have? That's a good thing!'
Looking down at the hundreds of equipment in his inventory, Lin Bei grinned and sent a message. "I've sent you the coordinates. I'll wait for you for five minutes."
Selling these equipment would earn him another huge sum of money!
Not long after, Green Collar appeared in a hurry. When she saw Lin Bei, she heaved a sigh of relief.
This was where the Level 8 Minotaurs were scattered. It would not be easy to get here in five minutes.
"Let's make a deal."
Lin Bei opened the trading system and threw in the pile of equipment from his backpack.
"So… so many?!"
Green Collar was originally calm, but when she saw the hundreds of equipment on the trading interface, she was dumbfounded.
It had only been less than half a day since the server opened. Where did so much equipment come from? And… this was Gold equipment?!
What the hell!
"You said that you'll take as much as I have. You should be able to devour all this, right?"
"Uh… yes, but the price of these equipment…"
"You can spend money to activate the System's price evaluation function. 200 Ocean Blue coins a month is very cheap."
Lin Bei smiled and said, "I won't take advantage of you. I'll pay whatever the price should be."
"Okay." 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
Green Collar nodded. Under Lin Bei' guidance, the equipment evaluation function was activated and the equipment on the trading interface was scanned.
[Scan successful! Data summary: 60 Iron, 30 Bronze, 10 Silver, 3 Gold! Price evaluation: 22,000 gold coins.]
"Alright, cash transaction, 1:150, a total of 3.3 million Ocean Blue coins. If possible, let's trade directly."
"Yeah."
Green Collar did not hesitate and directly transferred 3.3 million Ocean Blue coins to Lin Bei.
With these equipment, she was one step closer to her plan. It was only three million. This investment was worth it!
"By the way, do you have any alchemy potions? If possible, sell me a few bottles."
"No need. I'll give them to you."
Green Collar had just bought a batch of high-quality equipment. She was clearly in a good mood and directly traded seven to eight potions to Lin Bei.
"Thank you. I'll sell you the equipment later! Remember to keep any potions for me. I'll pay for them."
Lin Bei looked at the alchemy potions that Green Collar had traded and his eyes lit up.
As expected, Green Collar should have at least a level-A talent in alchemy. Otherwise, with the standard of ordinary players, they would have to be at least Level 20 to refine alchemy potions. However, the other party took out seven or eight bottles at one go and gave them to him without even blinking. It was obvious that she had a fixed channel to obtain potions.
Green Collar kept the equipment and left in a hurry. Meanwhile, Lin Bei continued to farm the Minotaur alone. Although this Minotaur was only Level 8 and could only provide 80 EXP each, there were a lot of them. After clearing the area, he could at least level up again.
…
In the Holy Light Village, the upper echelons of the Fighting Shark Empire gathered together with extremely gloomy expressions.
"Damn, he had actually been killed by a Priest! I really can't take this lying down!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky cursed, "Little Chick, you have connections. Find me a few professional players and kill that kid to Level 1! The price is negotiable, but the key is to kill that Priest until he quits the Server!"
"Yes, Big Brother, I'll do it now!"
Brother Chicken Is Big's eyes lit up and he quickly went offline.
"Everyone else, gather everyone and quickly level up! After Level 5, everyone can learn more professional skills! When the time comes, bring a few more Magi 5. I don't believe that no matter how impressive that kid's positioning is, he can still avoid being locked on with spells casted."
Flying Dragon in the Sky said in a deep voice, "I used my connections to buy a few Buff scrolls from the novice village next door. When we use them together, we can definitely kill that Priest!"
"Yes!"
Everyone obeyed and retreated.
…
Jia Mei Empire, Divine Descent Club.
The coach handed the Combat Priest's PK video in Holy Light Village to Apollo, who was resting, and asked, "How talented is this Priest? Should we invite him to our club's second team to participate in the trial?"
Apollo took a sip of his drink and glanced at the video. He shook his head and said, "There's no need. Although the maneuvers were alright, the opponents were just a group of weak PVE players. Moreover, the commander of that guild was too weak. In addition, the Priest's equipment is far better than others. It's not difficult to obtain such a result."
"What's there to brag about? Which Archer in our second team can't do this? Moreover, they're facing top professional players. The pressure is not something those rookie players can compare to."
Apollo said calmly, "Instead of wasting time to let him come to our second team to train, it's better to spend more time improving our equipment. I had triggered a hidden mission in the game previously. The final reward is a Diamond-grade magic sword. Find a few more people to help me get my equipment."
"Diamond-grade magic sword?!"
The coach's eyes lit up when he heard this. He said excitedly, "Alright! I'll go gather people now. With the diamond-grade magic sword, our WGL championship this year is definitely guaranteed!"
"Heh, even without a Diamond-grade magic sword, we're still first!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Hahaha, rest well. I'm going to get busy!"
The coach laughed. He had long forgotten about the trial training of the Combat Priest. So what if he was talented? Could he be stronger than Apollo?
In his eyes, nothing was more important than improving Apollo's strength.
…
[You've leveled up!]
Lin Bei's body flashed with golden light and he reached Level 9.
"…The equipment is almost full again."
Lin Bei was helpless. The initial 200 slots were not enough.
Who asked him to obtain the same loot from killing ordinary monsters as he did from killing lord-tier Bosses?
No choice.
He could only sell another batch.
In Holy Light Village, Green Collar was showing off her gains to Unparalleled Plume when she suddenly received a private message.
"Are you still accepting equipment?" asked Inner Peace.
Green Collar: "…"
Chapter 27: Forest Wood: Mentality Collapse!
"Green, what's wrong?"
Unparalleled Plume noticed Green Collar's abnormality and couldn't help but ask.
"It's… it's nothing. It's just that the Deity asked me if I still wanted to accept equipment. I'm thinking about it."
"Yes! Of course! If our guild wants to develop, such a small number of people is definitely not enough! Moreover, the server has just opened. Most of the players don't even have proper equipment on them. Of course, we can't let go of this opportunity to develop!"
Unparalleled Plume was excited. "Have you forgotten what our goal is? To establish the largest Potion Guild in the entire server! With this equipment, our guild's development speed can greatly increase! When the guild's strength increases, we can obtain more resources to develop. If this continues, we will only become stronger and stronger!" 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
Green Collar nodded and made another trip to collect more than 100 pieces of equipment from Lin Bei. However, compared to the last time, there was only Iron and Bronze equipment this time. However, for the current Azure Plume Guild, it was enough!
"Do you think… the Deity's talent is related to drops?"
Green Collar glanced at Unparalleled Plume and whispered.
"That's very likely! Good maneuvers will only affect the leveling speed, but they won't affect the drop rate of equipment. Moreover, the quality of these equipment is quite good. Under normal circumstances, you have to kill a bunch of lord-tier Bosses to obtain them. Therefore, I'm guessing that the talent of the Deity is related to the drop rate!"
Unparalleled Plume's eyes sparkled and she said excitedly, "This is a powerful talent! If we can pull him into our guild, coupled with your talent, Green, we won't have to worry about becoming stronger. Moreover, Deity's maneuvers are also powerful; they are simply perfect!"
"Green, you have to hurry up. Think of a way to set a trap for him to join our guild!"
"Okay, I'll try."
…
On the other side, Lin Bei had already left Gloomy Jungle and was walking towards the Fishermen's Bay in the east of Holy Light Village.
He was now Level 9 and had regained the number one position on the leaderboard from the player called Forest Wood.
Along the way, he took out the potions he had gotten from Green Collar and drank them all.
[You have used the Novice Underwater Breathing Potion. During the effective period, you can breathe freely in the water. Duration: ∞.]
[You have used the Novice Resilience Potion. You have obtained 100% Critical Hit Immunity. Duration: ∞.]
[You have used the Novice Movement Speed Potion" and received a 20% increase in speed. Duration: ∞.]
[You have used the Novice Night Vision Potion and obtained night vision. Duration: ∞.]
[You have used Novice Leap Potion. Leap +10. Duration: ∞.]
[You have used the Novice Stealth Potion. After leaving the battle, you will enter Stealth state. Duration: ∞.]
[You have used the Novice Eagle Eye Potion. All Critical Hit rates +10%. Duration: ∞.]
[You have used the Novice Slowdown Potion. Attack has a 20% deceleration effect. Duration: ∞.]
Eight bottles of potions, eight permanent Buffs!
This was especially true for the Novice Resilience Potion, which only lasted for 10 seconds. However, because of his talent bonus, the duration was directly permanent! It gave him a permanent damage reduction bonus!
In addition, the permanent Stealth was also very powerful!
When he left the battle, he could enter into the Stealth mode. It was simply a divine-level ability to kill and rob!
One had to know that an ordinary Assassin's Stealth skill could only last for 30 seconds at Level 1. Moreover, the cooldown time was as long as 3 minutes. It was very useless. However, Lin Bei was different. Not only did he have permanent Stealth, but he also did not need to waste potential points. If other Assassins knew about this, they would probably curse, right?
"This Inner Peace fella. Damn you!"
Outside the novice village that was an unknown distance away from the Holy Light Village, Forest Wood looked at the skeleton soldiers slowly getting up from the mass grave and had a mental breakdown.
He had entered the game as soon as the server was released, so that he could snatch the first place on Heavenly Might's Leveling-Up Leaderboard and obtain the most mysterious reward!
For this, he even spent a lot of money to hire a group of thugs to help him kill monsters and level up!
All he needed to do was kill all the monsters. His leveling speed was naturally ridiculously fast!
Moreover, he had broken several leveling-up records of Apollo because of this!
In his opinion, the first place on the leaderboard rankings was definitely his!
However, a dog had appeared!
That person, Inner Peace, was simply non-human! His leveling speed was so abstract that it made people doubt life!
Not only that, but this guy even went offline for two hours!
Initially, he thought that he was going to win, but who knew that this bastard would come online half an hour ago!
Yes, half an hour!
In just half an hour, he fell to second place again!
Not only did the other party return to first place, but he even surpassed him by one level!
It was ridiculous!
"Damn, if this isn't cheating, what is? Is this leveling speed something a human can achieve?"
Forest Wood cursed, "Could it be that this guy has a talent that increases experience by a hundred times? Otherwise, why is he so much faster than me?"
[Your level ranking has dropped to third place!]
[Your level ranking has dropped to fourth place!]
[…]
Soon, a series of System notifications rang in his ears. Then, he suddenly realized that his ranking on the leaderboard had fallen to 21st!
"Damn, what the hell!"
Forest Wood opened the leaderboard and saw that among the 20 people in front of him, other than the number one who was Inner Peace, there was a Azure Plume logo behind the names of the others!
"Did Azure Plume's men take drugs? They're so ferocious!"
Forest Wood shut up.
He had spent millions of Ocean Blue coins on this competition, but now? He felt like a clown!
Suddenly, he received an unfamiliar private message.
Brother Chicken Is Big's place was huge. "Brother, are you selling your account? I'll buy it at a high price!"
Forest Wood frowned. "Not for sale!"
Brother Chicken Iis Big: "We can rent it too. We need a batch of high-level accounts above Level 5. We'll rent it for 10,000 dollars a day. What do you think?"
Ten thousand a day?!
Forest Wood glanced at his ranking on the leaderboard and then at the dozens of accounts that helped him farm monsters and level up. His eyes lit up and he replied, "Alright, deal!"
"How many accounts do you have?"
"Including mine, there are a total of 40! All of them are above Level 6!"
"That's great! Wait for my news and we'll trade immediately!"
Brother Chicken Is Big was very excited. He said to Flying Dragon in the Sky, who was beside him, "Boss, it's done! He has 40 accounts! And they are at least Level 6!"
"Really? That's great! Quickly contact the players from those two professional teams! Let's trade offline!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky's eyes lit up and he logged off excitedly.
"Hmph, Combat Priest? Who do you think you are! I'll kill you!"
…
"Achoo!"
Eh, that's strange. Why did I sneeze? Did someone miss me?
However, the scenery by the sea was really good.
Lin Bei looked at the Fishermen's Bay under the setting sun with a satisfied expression.
Chapter 28: Contaminated Crystal Cave! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket!
Lin Bei followed the guidance of the hidden mission and arrived at Fishermen's Bay.
According to the mission prompt, the scene of the mission should be a cave with magic crystals. However, as far as Lin Bei could see, the terrain here was flat. Other than a large beach, there was only an endless sea. How could there be a cave?
"Could it be underwater?"
Lin Bei fell into deep thought. If it was underwater, the possibility of a cave appearing was not low.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be a Wild Instance Dungeon. That's good. With the Dungeon, I can repeatedly farm monsters. This way, it'll be easier to earn money."
Lin Bei thought about it and walked all the way to the beach. All the fish monsters along the way were instantly killed by him and turned into experience points.
These fish monsters were all Level 10. Each of them could give him 110 EXP, which was still very impressive.
Soon, Lin Bei came to the sea and dived into the sea.
The Buff of the Underwater Breathing Potion instantly took effect, allowing him to ignore the breathing punishment and breathe freely underwater.
Based on his experience, he dived all the way down and soon arrived 300 meters below the water. The light around him was dim, but fortunately, with the Buff of the Night Vision Potion, it did not affect him at all.
Gulp…
In the depths of the distant stone wall, a series of bubbles appeared.
"It should be here!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he quickly went over. Soon, he found a cave covered by countless algae.
[You discovered a contaminated crystal cave! Experience +500!]
[After completing the cave exploration, the Holy Light Village Wild Instance Dungeon will be activated!]
"It really is a dungeon!"
Lin Bei smiled and went in.
A blue magic barrier isolated the seawater outside. Although the cave was damp and dark, it was fortunate that it was not filled with seawater.
On the stone walls of the cave, blue crystals were embedded sporadically, bringing some light to the originally pitch-black passage.
[Contaminated Cave Miner (Lv.11, Elite)]
In the cave, there were a few contaminated creatures wandering around like zombies with pickaxes on their shoulders.
The so-called contaminated creatures were special creatures in Second World. They were usually monsters in the wild. They were affected by a mysterious power and under the influence of various ores, they were contaminated and turned into walking corpses.
These contaminated monsters had different characteristics according to the pollution.
Take the contaminated miners for example. This was a magic crystal mine, so these contaminated creatures had a passive ability called Magic Strength Burn. Once someone was attacked by them, their Magic Strength would continuously decrease. For players who were exploring at this stage, it was simply a nightmare!
But… Lin Bei was different. Not only did the Magic Strength Burn not scare him, but it also made him a little excited.
One had to know that killing these monsters, there was a chance that they would drop alchemy potions with corresponding abilities. However, the drop rate was not high. However, Lin Bei had a +200% drop rate Buff. If his luck was not too bad, there was a high chance of obtaining alchemy potions!
Discipline Spell!
-8,500!
-8,500!
-17,000! (Magic Critical Hit!)
After three consecutive Discipline Spells, the three contaminated miners near the entrance were all killed by Lin Bei, and a few items were dropped.
Alchemy potion!
Lin Bei focused his gaze and saw a blue potion bottle emitting a faint light.
[Novice Magic Strength Burning Potion: Alchemy Potion. After using it, the attack will have a Magic Strength burning effect. Burns the target's 10 Magic Strength points every second. After the Magic Strength is exhausted, it will cause double burning damage to the target's Health Points. Duration: 5 seconds. It can be stacked. The potion will take effect for 60 seconds.]
Without hesitation, he used it!
A permanent Magic Strength Burn attack Buff instantly appeared on Lin Bei's body!
"The drop rate +200% is too awesome! Coupled with the 3 points of luck now, it's actually directly sold!"
Lin Bei was very satisfied. Although Novice Magic Strength Burn only had a burning effect of 10 points per second, the key was that… the burning effect could be stacked!
This way, with his attack speed, he could stack three layers of burning effect on the other party in a second!
Coupled with the effect of his talent, the burning effect on the other party's body would permanently take effect. This way, he could infinitely stack the burning effect on the target!
It was an ability that was getting more and more disgusting!
Especially for Bosses with low magic power, it was ridiculously powerful!
This was because the Magic Strength Burn effect could double the burn on the target's Health Points while in a void magic state. The damage output was also high!
"This is only the effect of a novice potion. If an intermediate potion or even a high-level potion can be dropped, the effect of the Magic Strength Burn will truly show!"
Lin Bei chuckled and walked deeper into the cave.
As for the magic crystals on the cave wall, he put them into his backpack.
[Contaminated low-level magic crystal: Ores containing magic power have been contaminated.]
Although it was contaminated, when he reached Level 10, he could learn the Purification Spell and directly purify the magic crystal.
These magic crystals were tools to recover Magic Power. The key was that they could be used in battle, especially for magic professions. They were relatively precious tools, so Lin Bei naturally took as many as he could.
As for the fact that the cave would fall into darkness without the magic crystals, it was not something he needed to consider at all. After all, he had the night vision Buff. Even though the surroundings were as dark as ink, it was still as bright as day in his eyes.
[You have killed a contaminated miner (Lv.11, Elite)! Obtained 360 experience points!]
As it was a Level 11 elite monster, the EXP it gave was relatively high. At this speed, Lin Bei only needed to kill less than 300 contaminated miners to level up to Level 10.
At that time, not only could he obtain the System reward, but he could also equip the Level 10 equipment in his backpack. At that time, his attributes would increase explosively!
"Soon! I'll be able to be equipped with the Limit Magic Staff and White Wings soon!"
Lin Bei was looking forward to it.
Soon, after dealing with more than 30 contaminated miners along the way, he finally went deep into the cave and arrived at a relatively empty stone room.
This area was about the size of two basketball courts. In the middle of the stone room, there was a three-meter-tall altar.
On the altar, a black shadow loomed. Below, a group of contaminated miners knelt and chanted.
"This is the place. After dealing with them, the dungeon will be activated."
Lin Bei glanced at the contaminated miners in the stone room. There were not many of them, only 20. For him currently, it was not difficult at all.
The only thing he had to pay attention to was the black shadow on the altar. If he didn't guess wrongly, it should be a Boss. As for its tier, he couldn't tell, but it was at least a lord-tier or even a Domain-Lord tier Boss.
Discipline Spell!
Soon, Lin Bei raised his hand and attacked the contaminated miner closest to him. With a flash of white light, he was instantly killed!
"Roar!"
The other miners immediately reacted. They waved the pickaxes in their hands and rushed towards Lin Bei.
"Uh… tainted blood… reincarnation…"
On the altar, as more and more contaminated miners were dealt with by Lin Bei, black blood began to condense and enter the shadow.
[Attention! The Tainted-Blood Fanatic Blanca (Lv. 20, Domain-lord tier) has descended!]
"Level 20 Domain-Lord tier Boss!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up when he saw the System notification.
"We're rich!"
Chapter 29: Tainted-Blood Fanatic!
"What a pity. My Mutated Blood skill is still on cooldown. Otherwise, I could kill a level 20 Mutated Domain-Lord tier Boss!"
Although Lin Bei felt a little regretful, he did not care too much.
Soon, he dealt with all the contaminated miners in the stone room.
[Tainted-Blood Fanatic has absorbed tainted blood and its attributes have become stronger!]
From time to time, a System notification would ring in his ears, but Lin Bei ignored it. There was no other reason. In Second World, there was a setting that everyone knew clearly. The stronger the Boss, the better the loot!
For other players, perhaps the best strategy for this Boss was to leave the small monsters to focus fire on the Boss first. However, for Lin Bei currently, it was the complete opposite. What he wanted was the Boss' drops. As for the Boss' increase in attributes, he did not care at all.
His Discipline Spell dealt explosive damage, and it was fired twice a second. Even the strengthened Level 20 Domain-Lord tier Boss wouldn't be able to withstand it!
-12,750 (Holy Light Damage Bonus)
A Discipline Spell landed on the Boss and thick black smoke rose.
Due to the fact that the Tainted-Blood Fanatic was a dark creature, the Discipline Spell dealt an additional 50% damage to him.
[Tainted-Blood Fanatic Blanca (Lv. 20, Domain-Lord tier) Health Points: 98%]
"It's real flesh. Its Health Points should have exceeded 600,000, but it's still a little lacking."
Lin Bei glanced at the Boss' health and immediately made a judgment.
As long as he attacked with all his might, he would be able to kill the Tainted-Blood Fanatic in half a minute at most.
Therefore, he did not have to worry about his damage output at all.
The only thing he had to pay attention to was to avoid the damage from the Boss.
After all, it was a level 20 Domain-Lord tier Boss, its damage was definitely not low.
Tainted Blood Fanatic Blanca leaped down from the altar. The black mist around its body dissipated, revealing its true appearance.
It was a deformed creature formed from countless piles of rotten flesh. It was more than three meters tall and had eight slender tentacles around its body. The ends of the tentacles were covered in black poisonous spikes that flickered with a cold light.
On its chest, there was a crack. Its mouth was full of sharp yellow teeth and green mucus kept flowing out.
"Ew… how disgusting."
Lin Bei felt a little nauseous and immediately used the Discipline Spell.
Black smoke rose into the air, covering the ugly face of the Tainted-Blood Fanatic.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, the eight tentacles on the Tainted-Blood Fanatic's body shot out and stabbed at Lin Bei from different directions!
"I'll leap!"
Lin Bei remained calm in the face of danger. He leapt ten meters high and easily dodged the attack by the tentacles of the Tainted-Blood Fanatic.
Thanks to Green Collar's Novice Leap Potion, his ability to leap had increased by 20 points. With his full strength, he could leap more than 20 meters.
However, he did not do so. Firstly, there was a limit to the height of the cave. If he leapt too high, he would be stuck in the air for a long time. This way, the gap would be larger and he would be easily pursued by the Boss. The gains would not make up for the losses.
Discipline Spell!
-33,150! (Critical hit!)
In mid-air, Lin Bei used the Discipline Spell again. Under the bonus of the Paralysis Ring, he directly dealt more than 30,000 damage points to the Boss!
At the same time, the Boss' Health Points dropped to 50%.
"Blood…"
Suddenly, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic's body glowed brightly. A mysterious power descended from the altar and landed on its body. Then, a suffocating aura suddenly rose.
[Affected by the mysterious power, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic has advanced!]
Rumble…
The three-meter-tall altar shattered with a bang. Countless gravel fell, raising a cloud of dust.
Swoosh!
A blood-red sword pierced through the flying dust and stabbed towards Lin Bei's chest!
"Damn! So fast!"
Lin Bei's expression changed. Although his brain reacted, his body could not keep up!
At the critical moment, Lin Bei quickly raised his hand and blocked in front of him with the Mithril Scepter.
Ding!
With a soft sound, a damage number appeared above Lin Bei's head.
-2,000! (Block!)
Swoosh!
Lin Bei's Health Points dropped by a large amount!
"So fierce?!"
Relying on the impact of the blood-colored sword, Lin Bei quickly retreated. In a hurry, he did a donkey roll and barely dodged the sword. He flipped over and left the stone room.
BOOM!
A blood-colored ball of light followed closely behind. Lin Bei turned around and cursed in his heart.
After the Boss advanced, whether it was its attack speed or attack strength, it was far from what he could contend with now. If he was hit by this blood-colored ball of light, he would definitely die!
One had to know that he had successfully blocked the other party's sword and reduced its attack power by 90%. Even so, he still received 2,000 damage points!
In other words, the attack power of the Boss was definitely more than 20,000 points!
His maximum Health Points was less than 4,000 points. If he had not successfully blocked it, he would have died long ago!
At this moment, the blood-red ball of light behind him was obviously a skill of the Boss. It definitely had an attack bonus. If he was hit, it would be even worse!
"Damn, what's with this BOSS? It's fine if it advanced, but why is it so abnormal? A normal Domain-Lord tier Boss would not have such a ridiculous increase after advancing to Sector-Lord tier right? Could it be… this BOSS has advanced to the King-tier?!"
Boom!
-40,000!
A terrifying damage number floated up from Lin Bei's body. Then, his vision turned black and he fell to the ground.
[You have been killed by Tainted-Blood Fanatic Blanca (Lv. 30, King-tier)!]
As expected!
Lin Bei's heart sank as he was revived in Holy Light Village.
Normally, the highest level of monsters that appeared in the novice villages would not exceed Level 20!
But… the Tainted-Blood Fanatic had actually advanced to Level 30! And he had even become a King-tier Boss!
"Could it be because of my only Nightmare-level hidden mission?"
Lin Bei opened the mission panel and was suddenly stunned.
The difficulty of the hidden mission [Elena's Request] had increased from the original Nightmare Level to Hell Level!
The difficulty had actually increased!
As expected, the Boss in the contaminated cave was related to this mission!
Lin Bei's eyes darkened as he fell into deep thought.
In this case, if he wanted to complete the quest, he would definitely not be able to avoid the King-tier Boss!
Troublesome!
He was only Level 9 now. Although his equipment was luxurious and his damage was explosive, it was still too difficult for him to deal with a Level 30 King-tier Boss.
It was true that he had the Discipline Spell that could ignore defense, but the problem was that the damage of the Boss was ridiculously high. With his current small body, it would be fine if it was a basic attack. He could use blocking defense and hold on for a while. However, if he encountered the large AoE skill attack of the huge blood-colored ball from before, he would still die without a doubt!
"With my current attributes, it's still too difficult to deal with a King-tier Boss."
Lin Bei thought to himself, 'I should level up to Level 10 first and change all my equipment into Platinum-grade equipment! If I really can't… I'll go to the Dueling Arena and get a few high-level Buffs for free!'
The Dueling Arena was independent of the nine servers in Second World. After reaching Level 10, all players could enter the Dueling Arena to fight and obtain points to increase the level of the duel.
Duels were divided into individual and team competitions. Lin Bei's idea was to go to the arena to participate in the team competition and get the Buffs of other teammate players of high levels. This way, with all kinds of bonus Buffs, he would have a higher chance of when he returned to deal with the King-tier Boss.
After all, a King-tier Boss had at least a few million Health Points. It would not be easy to deal with.
Lin Bei left Holy Light Village and entered Gloomy Jungle. He had to level up to Level 10 first.
"Big Brother, our guys saw that Combat Priest. He has just left the Holy Light Village and is heading towards Gloomy Jungle."
"How are your preparations going? Have you reached an agreement?"
"It's settled. There are a total of 40 people in the two teams, and each of them has an account above Level 5. The combination of the professions is not bad either. After it's done, each of them will ask for 10,000 dollars."
"Alright, it's settled then! Hurry up and do it! Remember to record it. I want him to suffer a crushing defeat this time!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky hung up the phone and a playful smile appeared on his face. "I don't believe that two top ten teams in the CWL can't deal with you!"
…
In the depths of Gloomy Jungle, Lin Bei was about to kill monsters when he suddenly raised his eyebrows. He glanced at the bushes in the distance and smiled.
Is he in such a hurry to die?
It seemed that the previous lesson was not enough.
However, since he was here, he might as well contribute to his experience.
Lin Bei smiled and left the battle. Under the Buff effect of the Stealth Potion, his figure disappeared and he entered the Stealth mode.
"Eh, where is he? Did he go offline?"
In the bushes, an Assassin poked his head out with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an arrow tore through the air and hit the Assassin's heart, killing him instantly.
[You have killed Durian Milk (Lv.6)! You have received 168 experience points!]
A System notification sounded in his ear. The corners of Lin Bei's mouth curled up. The figure that had just appeared vanished into the darkness again.
"Damn, isn't this person a Priest? How did he learn an Assassin's Stealth? And he even uses an Archer's bow! Damn, why is it so magical?"
Chapter 30: Professional Player? Experience Baby! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket
"Shut up! Everyone, be careful! This Priest is not simple!"
One of the shield-bearers frowned slightly and ordered in the team channel, "Help to make markings to show where the Priest is! The rest of you, prepare to control your skills. Once you find any traces of the Priest, forcefully control the focus fire and insta-kill him!"
"Yes!"
The others replied. In the team, the Priest took out a True Sight Gemstone and placed it on the ground.
However, just as he put it down, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. He was so frightened that his legs trembled and he almost fell to the ground.
"Second."
Lin Bei used the Discipline Spell and instantly killed the Priest. He picked up the True Sight Gemstone on the ground and disappeared into the shadows.
"Damn!"
Seeing this, the leader of the shield-bearers cursed. What the f*ck was going on with this Priest? He insta-killed someone with just a Discipline Spell? Was there a mistake?!
"Everyone, gather together! We can't let him take us down one by one!"
The shield-bearer shouted, and everyone quickly gathered together.
In the darkness, Lin Bei saw this and couldn't help but grin. They had actually gathered together? The heavens were really helping him.
Lin Bei directly rushed up. The True Sight Gemstone could scan the surrounding 30 meters, and his figure was instantly revealed in the other party's line of sight!
"He has appeared! Insta-kill him with forceful control!"
The shield-bearer's eyes lit up as he shouted.
"Alright!"
The other team members perked up when they heard this and attacked Lin Bei with their skills.
-1! -1! -1! …
A series of numbers floated above Lin Bei's head. At the same time, various System notifications sounded in his ears.
[You have been slowed down. Movement speed -20%. Lasts for 10 seconds.]
[You have been poisoned. Health Points -20 per second for 10 seconds.]
[You have been weakened. Attack -50. Lasts for 10 seconds.]
[You are stunned and unable to move. Lasts for 3 seconds.]
[You are bound and cannot move. Lasts for 3 seconds.]
"…"
Lin Bei pursed his lips and did not feel anything. After three seconds, under everyone's shocked gazes, he rushed towards the crowd.
"Holy Light Burst!"
Boom!
A huge holy light energy shot out from Lin Bei's Mithril Scepter and enveloped the dozen or so shield-bearers.
-3,000! -3,020! -6,100 (Critical Hit)! …
Level 5 Holy Light Burst had a total of 200% magic damage bonus. Coupled with the double damage of the Holy Light Buff, with one move, there was a white light everywhere and they were all insta-killed!
In the distant forest, the players from another professional team who saw this scene were stunned.
'What the hell?'
What was going on?
Was that Priest's skill Holy Light Burst?
What kind of damage was that?
Was he still human!
He lowered his head and looked at the attribute panel in his hand. His attack power was less than 200 points. His scalp immediately went numb.
Damn, those people from the Fighting Shark Empire didn't tell us that this Combat Priest's stats were so awesome!
This Priest's defense was ridiculously high. None of them could break through his defense at all. Moreover, he had cleared the area with a Holy Light Burst. His attack power was ridiculously high. They would have to use their heads to fight him!
Even if their maneuvers could keep up, their attributes could not.
"Captain, what should we do? Are we still going forward?"
Beside the Assassin, a Warrior asked with a frown.
"How could we go forward? With our attributes, we're just offering ourselves. Let's go, let's go. We're not taking this job anymore."
"But ten thousand dollars—"
"We'll take it! Damn it, this kid from the Fighting Shark Empire actually dares to make fun of me. Let's accept the money and post the video online to earn some profits."
The Assassin cursed and raised his hand to go offline.
Suddenly, an arrow flew over!
-300! (Critical Weakness Hit!)
Click.
The captain of the Assassins fell, and the others could not log off because they were in combat.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, experience babies."
Lin Bei's figure appeared in front of everyone. He smiled and raised the magic staff in his hand.
"Spread out! Be careful…"
"Holy Light Burst!"
However, before anyone could react, Lin Bei released the Holy Light Burst and cleared the field again!
In the rebirth point of the Holy Light Village, the captain of the Assassins was about to explode in anger. I didn't do anything!
However, just as he was about to ask his teammates about the situation, a white light flashed around him, and his teammates were all revived.
"You guys… died just like that? How did you die?"
The captain of the Assassins was dumbfounded.
"That Priest used the Holy Light Burst. Our brothers didn't disperse in time and died."
"Damn, doesn't the Holy Light Burst have a very long cooldown period? It's only been a few seconds, but it's been released twice in a row?"
The captain of the Assassins was even more confused.
"Maybe it's a talent."
His teammates shrugged.
"You guys died too?"
At this moment, the captain of the first batch of shield-bearers who died came in front of the captain of the Assassins and said with a dark expression, "Damn you, Fighting Shark Empire. Such a difficult task, and they actually didn't explain it clearly to us in advance!"
"Hmph, that's right!"
The captain of the Assassins was also unhappy.
At this moment, Flying Dragon in the Sky, who had just logged in, received the news and rushed to the rebirth point of Holy Light Village. He glanced at everyone who had died and said coldly, "What are you guys doing? There are a total of 40 professional players, and you can't even deal with a trash Priest? How embarrassing!"
"Damn, refund the money!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky was about to explode in anger. In order to vent his anger, he had spent more than a million Ocean Blue coins!
But what happened?
They had all gone down the drain!
Weren't these people the big shots of the top ten teams in CWL? In the end? They were nothing!
"You are still scolding us!"
The captain of the shield-bearers was furious.
"So what if I scolded you? A bunch of trash! To think that I thought you were all professional players. In the end, you're just a bunch of noobs!"
Flying Dragon in the Sky cursed in the sky, "Refund the money, or I'll sue you in court!"
"Sue my ass! I'm already giving you face by not suing you! Brothers, attack and kill him until he reaches Level 1!"
"Good!"
Then, the 40 CWL professional players who had been suppressing their anger began to attack Flying Dragon in the Sky.
Generally speaking, players' defense would be doubled in the safe zone. But so what? With 40 people attacking together, even if Flying Dragon in the Sky's defense increased by 10 times, it would still be a dead end for him!
Soon, under the overwhelming attacks, Flying Dragon in the Sky died.
However, not long after he was revived, he died again.
Again and again, he stood up and fell down again.
Many players noticed the abnormality here and recorded a video and posted it online.
"Haha, worthless captain of the Fighting Shark Empire, weren't you very arrogant when you snatched my Iron sword previously? Now you've suffered retribution! You deserve it!"
"These worthless guilds are too tyrannical! Solo players don't even have room to survive! It's good that they're dead!"
"Good kill! Good kill! Kill till the Empire cries out!"
"Are you Flying Dragon in the Sky? I think it's a worm burrowing into the ground!"
"Hahaha, the person above is a genius! I like it!"
"…"
On the forums, everyone was cursing at the Fighting Shark Empire. Everyone was united against such a guild that bullied the market.
But soon, another post exploded on the forum.
Gloomy Jungle Lv40! Asura Priest's Divine Might Instant Killed Top-Ten Teams!
The video was very short. It took less than a minute, but the clicks were increasing at a speed of tens of thousands per second!
In the video, the Combat Priest entered the darkness. Every time he attacked, he would end at least one person's life. He was like a Dark Night Asura, extremely domineering!
Coupled with the faint smile on his face, the audience watching the video could not help but shudder.
"How is this a damned Combat Priest? This is an Asura Priest!"
"Are these people really professional players? Why are they so lousy?"
"Don't you see who posted this? It's the official WeChat account of Gale World! The top ten teams of CWL! How can it be fake?"
"Damn, wouldn't they feel embarrassed if they posted this video themselves?"
"What's wrong with that? You've seen that Priest's damage. Anyone who goes up will be insta-killed. Moreover, his defense is ridiculously high. Although these people immediately controlled and focused fire, the damage was not enough. The attributes were too inferior! This is not something that can be achieved with maneuvers! With such a difference, even if the Sun Deity Apollo was present, he would have walked in, but be carried out when he left!"
"This Priest's damage output is too explosive! Is this the correct opening way for a Priest? No, I have to go to the new server to train with a Combat Priest!"
…
In Deity Gou's livestream, he saw the scene at the rebirth point of the Holy Light Village. When he connected it to the video of the "Asura Priest Lv40 professional player" on the forum, he could not help but grin. This Inner Peace big shot was indeed awesome. He wanted to see if there was a chance to cooperate in the future. It seemed like it would increase his popularity a lot.
…
In the Azure Plume Guild, Unparalleled Plume's face was filled with excitement. She kept shaking Green Collar's shoulders and said excitedly, "Have you seen the forums? The Deity is amazing! He actually defeated 40 professional teams by himself! It would be a pity if he doesn't join our guild! I feel that with his performance, it's definitely not too much to give him 20% shares!"
"Yes, I think so too, but he's asking for too much. I've asked him a few times before, but he hasn't budged. He wants 51% of our shares."
"It's fine, it's fine. Just make a move and trap him."
"Yeah."
…
In the Windcloud Guild, Unparalleled Windcloud didn't say a word. He glanced at his teammates who were similarly silent and shook his head with a sigh.
Sigh, it would be great if such a talent could join our team.
…
Deep in Gloomy Jungle, Lin Bei, who was farming Minotaurs, suddenly received a System notification.
[You have obtained a share of the profits from Gloomy Jungle Lv40! It has been converted to 300 gold coins and transferred to your account.]
Lin Bei was speechless.
Chapter 31: Level 10! Spell Wave! Duel Space!
After opening the video link of the System message, Lin Bei was enlightened.
It turned out that someone had recorded the previous battle and uploaded it to the forum. As the "main lead", he naturally received his share of the profits.
The video had a total of 5,000,000 views, and every 10,000 views earned 100 Ocean Blue coins. In total, there were 50,000 Ocean Blue coins, which was equivalent to 333 gold coins. Lin Bei had 90% of the profits, so 300 gold coins were directly transferred into his account.
"Not bad. Now, including the gold coins dropped from killing monsters, I have a total of 2,000 gold coins in my account. Shopkeeper Jin of the Holy Light Village is a good person. I'll patronize his business later and see if there's anything good."
Lin Bei did not care about the exposure of the video and focused on farming monsters.
He was currently farming Level 10 Minotaurs. Each Minotaur could give him 110 EXP. With his current speed, he could reach Level 10 in 10 minutes at most.
At that time, if he changed into a set of Platinum equipment, his attributes would be even more explosive.
His growth was very fast. Even if other players obtained some information about him from the video, it would not affect him at all!
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
[You've leveled up!]
Swoosh!
Lin Bei's body lit up with a golden light and he reached Level 10.
"Finally!"
Lin Bei was overjoyed and immediately equipped himself with the Limit Magic Staff and White Wings.
At the same time, he also put on the few pieces of Platinum-grade equipment that he had prepared in advance.
All of a sudden, his attributes skyrocketed!
Health Points: 7,200
Magic Strength: 8000
Magic Attack: 2000
Physical Attack: 600
Physical/Magic Defense: 600/1000
Physical Critical Hit Rate: 15%
Magic Critical Hit Rate: 30%
"It's not enough!"
Lin Bei looked at the Stone Daggers in his bag. There were a total of 15 of them, which could be used to strengthen the equipment's attributes!
[Enhancement successful! The special effects of the Limit Magic Staff have increased!]
He used five Stone Daggers in a row, and the five special effects of the Limit Magic Staff all became "+150 Magic Attack"!
With that, his magic attack increased by 250 points again, reaching 2,250 points!
[You have used Holy Light Recovery (Lv.5) on yourself! Health Points recovery is 2,450 points per second. Duration: ∞.]
After being equipped with the special equipment, White Wings, Lin Bei's Holy Light damage increased by another 45%. Now, with a Holy Light Recovery, his Health Points directly exceeded 2450 points. Coupled with the equipment and other Buffs, his Health Points Recovery speed now reached 2850 points!
His Magic Power Recovery had also increased to 400 points!
Apart from that, he also unlocked the Level 10 Priest skill.
Two skills that leaned towards defense support, but to Lin Bei, they were two mandatory skills to be learnt!
Using 2 potential points, Lin Bei learned Purification Spell and Holy Light Shield.
Under the effect of all Holy Light skills +4 in the "Holy Light Contract", both skills were upgraded to Level 5.
Purification Spell (Lv.5)
After using it, all the negative states of the target would be clear, and a continuous purification effect would be applied for 10 seconds, immunizing against all negative states.
Spellcasting Range: 30 meters
Cooldown: 12 seconds (1.2 seconds)
Magic Power Consumption: 200 points
Holy Light Shield (Lv.5)
After using it, a shield that can withstand 1600% magic damage will be cast on the target for 10 seconds.
Spellcasting Range: 30 meters
Cooldown: 40 seconds (4 seconds)
Magic Power Consumption: 250 points
- 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑜𝘳𝘨
At this moment, Lin Bei still had 4 potential points left.
Lin Bei thought about it and added a healing skill.
He still wanted to go to the team competition in the Dueling Arena to get high-level Buffs. As a Priest, how could he not have healing skills?
Moreover, with the enhancement of the Holy Light Contract, he only needed 1 Potential Point to max out. It was still acceptable.
[Healing Skill (Lv.5): Instant Recovery of 200% Magic Damage from target (4,500 Health Points). Spellcasting Range: 30 meters. Cooldown: 5 seconds (0.5 seconds). Magic Power Consumption: 50 points]
Coupled with the Holy Light Buff, a Level 5 Healing Skill could recover 11,025 Health Points in one go! Moreover, Lin Bei could use it once every 0.5 seconds, so he definitely had enough healing power!
Coupled with the Holy Light Shield, his survivability had increased greatly.
"It's about time. Let's see what good things can be obtained from the Level 10 Gift Bag!"
Lin Bei looked at the gift bag with anticipation.
Previously, when he broke through to Level 10, the System rewarded him with 5 basic attribute points and 1 fixed attribute point. Now, his charm and luck had already reached 4 points.
Other than that, he also obtained 2 Potential Points, 100 Gold Coins, and a Level 10 Gift Bag.
[Activation successful!]
[You have obtained a Spell Wave!]
[You have obtained 5 Potential Points!]
[You have obtained 100 gold coins!]
"It's actually a Spell Wave!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he was excited.
To him currently, this skill was equivalent to a divine skill!
Spell Wave (Universal Skill)
Level: 1
After release, it can turn a single target skill into an AoE skill. Duration: 10 seconds (+2.5/lv). Coverage: A circular area with a radius of 10 meters (+2.5/lv).
Spellcasting Range: Same as using the skill
Cooldown: 300 seconds (-25/lv)
Magic Power Consumption: 200 points (+50/lv)
It could transform single-target skills into Universal Skills for group attacks!
Coupled with Lin Bei's Discipline Spell, his damage output would increase explosively!
"I learned it!"
Lin Bei directly learned Spell Wave, but it was only Level 1. For him currently, the skill range within a 10-meter radius was enough.
He did not have many potential points now, so it was better to save some.
He still had 7 potential points left and was prepared to keep them for emergencies.
[You have used a Spell Wave! Duration: ∞.]
"Done!"
Lin Bei smiled and opened the System list. He clicked into the Duel Space.
The Duel Space was a special space that was independent of other servers in the game. All players in the regional server could enter it after reaching Level 10 and participate in PK competitions to obtain points and increase their ranking.
According to the points, there were seven ranks: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Grandmaster.
Below 1,000 points was Iron, 1,000 to 1,499 points was Bronze, 1,500 to 1999 was Silver, 2,000 to 2,499 was Gold, 2,500 to 2,999 were Platinum, 3,000 to 3,499 was Diamond, 3,500 to 3,999 was Master, and above 4,000 points was Grandmaster. Among the total number of Grandmasters, the top 500 contestants would obtain the title of Top-500.
On the 28th of every month, there would be a settlement. Players of different ranks would receive a treasure chest reward.
[You have entered the Duel Space!]
Lin Bei, who was originally in the depths of Gloomy Jungle, disappeared under a white light. In the next second, he appeared in a tavern.
[007 Iron Tavern]
There were many taverns in the Duel Space. The Iron Tavern that Lin Bei was currently in was where the Iron players gathered after entering the Duel Space. Of course, there were occasionally a few Bronze and Silver players, but they were very rare.
In the Duel Space, high-level players could enter low-level taverns, but low-level players could not enter high-level taverns.
"Look, there's a newbie! Level 10! And he's a Priest! Watch carefully, I'll go up and greet him!"
Above Lin Bei's head, although he chose to remain anonymous before entering, the "Lv.10" above his head was bright, so there was no way to hide it, including the profession "Priest". These could not be hidden in the tavern unless there was a special tool to hide information.
"Player [Frost Instant Kill (Lv.31)] has challenged you! Do you accept it?"
Suddenly, he heard a challenge notification.
Lin Bei glanced at the other party's rank information and shook his head helplessly. It was too eye-catching.
Frost Instant Kill (Lv.31)
Profession: Ice Mage
Rank: Iron 488 points
Battle record: 25 wins, 175 losses (12.5% winning percentage)
12.5% winning percentage was too pitiful.
Moreover, it was the winning percentage of the Iron-rank. To be honest, such a skill would be a classic "handicapped" player in the previous keyboard and mouse games.
Lin Bei directly rejected the other party's challenge.
Firstly, he really did not want to torture noobs. Secondly, he did not have the time.
He had to complete the ranking competition as soon as possible because he could only unlock the team competition options after completing the ranking. He had not forgotten why he had come to the Duel Space, so there was no need to waste unnecessary time.
"Haha, did you see that? This kid is afraid!"
"Isn't that obvious? He's only Level 10 and a Priest. Aren't you clearly bullying him?"
"I don't care! He's just afraid! This is called winning without fighting! The realm is very high!"
"You piece of trash! How dare you say that!"
"Damn it, you don't look like an Iron! Do you want to fight?"
"Oh? Come on! But I forgot to tell you that I'm a Silver-rank. I'll torture you like a dog!"
"Ah? Ahem, big shot, I was blind to not recognize you. Let's forget about the PK."
"Tsk…"
Just as everyone was arguing, Lin Bei started the ranking competition. His figure turned into a white light and disappeared from the tavern.
"Hey, what rank do you think that kid has?"
Someone asked curiously.
Frost Instant Kill sneered. "A Level 10 Priest hasn't even grown his hair yet. What do you think? In my opinion, 200 points is the maximum!"
"That makes sense. Level 10 Priests have not even learned all their skills. Their only attacks are Discipline Spell and Holy Light Burst. Moreover, their skills have a long cooldown period. I'm afraid they'll be in serious trouble."
One of them nodded and said, "It can't be helped. After all, they're Priests. The team competition is their home ground. The individual competition… Ahem, I can only say those who know would understand."
…
[Ranking competition begins!]
[Next, you will have ten individual competitions! The System will finalize your ranking according to your performance!]
[The first match will begin in 30 seconds! Player: "Frost Instant Kill (Lv. 31, Ice Mage, Iron 488 points)"!]
In the 007 Iron Tavern, Frost Instant Kill, who was bragging, suddenly heard a System notification. His eyes lit up.
[You have received an invitation to the ranking competition assigned by the System! You will receive double the points reward after winning!]
[Battle Player Inner Peace (Lv.10, Priest, Unranked)". Do you accept the invitation?]
"Damn, could this be the earlier newbie Priest? Haha, I'll make a killing! Moreover, it's double the points. It's completely for free!"
Frost Instant Kill's eyes lit up as he accepted the invitation directly.
If he did not accept the invitation, would he still be human?
Moreover, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Priest had rejected his challenge. This was good. He would teach that kid a lesson!
While waiting to enter the arena, he did not forget to show off to his teammates.
"Wow, aren't you too lucky? I'm so envious!"
"The free points are too awesome!"
"Don't be happy too early. If you make this maneuver, what if you can't beat him?"
Frost Instant Kill instantly glared at the player and pouted. "He's just a Level 10 Priest. I can kill him with a Frostburst! If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If I lose, I'll give you 100 gold coins!"
"And if you win?"
"I will definitely win. I won't take advantage of you. You can just give me 10 silver coins!"
10 silver coins were only 10 dollars in Ocean Blue Coins. He did not dare to ask for too much for fear that the other party would not accept it.
"Alright, I'll bet with you! It's only 10 dollars. If he wins, I'll be rich!"
"Hehe, we'll see!"
Frost Instant Kill instantly grinned and disappeared from the tavern under a white light.
Chapter 32: The Whole Server Exploded! Is He Still Human? Asking for a Recommendation Ticket! (1)
After receiving the battle notification, Lin Bei was slightly stunned.
Wasn't this person the one who wanted to challenge me just now?
Forget it, he was just an Iron-rank rookie. He would be done in seconds.
The 30 seconds of preparation time passed quickly. In a flash, he appeared in a Dueling Arena.
The map was very simple. It was an arena the size of a basketball court, surrounded by fences. Both parties of the battle each stood on one side without any cover.
"Haha, a living target! I'll definitely win this time!"
Frost Instant Kill looked at the battle scene and laughed hysterically.
God is really helping me!
Frostburst!
Just as the three-second countdown ended, Frost Instant Kill immediately perked up and wanted to lock onto the target to cast a spell.
However, he was stunned.
'Where is he?'
Why did he disappear into thin air!
Swoosh!
A holy light descended from the sky and landed on his head.
-55,125! (Magic Critical Hit) 𝚋e𝚍n𝚘ve𝚕.𝚘𝚛𝚐
The Health Points bar was emptied and Frost Instant Kill instantly turned into a white light and disappeared.
[You've lost! Points -10! Current Points: 478 (Iron). Current Winning Percentage: 12.4%.]
What the hell!
Frost Instant Kill widened his eyes. He wanted to say something, but he felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat and could not make a sound.
What happened just now?
How did I get insta-killed?
Did that Priest cheat?
That damage… I don't understand!
More than 50,000 damage? Am I seeing things?
After all, I only had a little more than 5,000 Health Points. Could it be that I had been dealt with more than 5,000 damage?
But… could a Level 10 Priest deal out 5,000 damage? No way?
What the hell!
In less than three seconds after the match started, Frost Instant Kill appeared in 007 Iron Tavern.
The others were chatting and laughing when they suddenly froze. He won so quickly?
Damn it, he had really profited!
Double points should be at least 20 points, right? This kid's points should exceed 500, right?
Swoosh!
However, Frost Instant Kill went offline without a word.
This made everyone else dumbfounded.
What was going on? Didn't they just make a bet?
He did not want the 10 Silver coins?
Although it was not much, it was at least more than ten dollars. It was enough to eat a bowl of pork trotter noodles. Did he not want it?
Was it his conscience? Or was he embarrassed?
The Assassin who made the bet with him was also stunned. He retracted his hand that was holding the Silver Coins.
Could it be…
With a thought, he opened the System list and searched for the ID of "Frost Instant Kill".
"Damn, what the hell! He actually lost! No wonder he went offline! No! My 100 Gold coins! Damn it!"
The Assassin was shocked and suddenly stomped his feet.
Everyone looked over curiously. The Assassin did not waste any time and directly sent out the screenshot.
In an instant, gasps sounded in the tavern.
After a while, someone said, "That Level 10 Priest… won?"
"Yes, not only did he win, but he only used less than three seconds!"
"Damn, how did he do it?"
Someone was dumbfounded. "Even if Frost Instant Kill used the Frostburst on himself, it wouldn't have been so fast, right? In order to make up for the flaw in his PK operation, he just bought a few Silver equipment some time ago and has already accumulated 5,000 Health Points!"
"Damn, is this a damned Mage? Why is he so tanky?"
"That's not the point! The point is… he didn't even last three seconds!"
In 007 Iron Tavern, everyone was dumbfounded.
They had never expected this outcome.
The Level 10 noob Priest that they had just seen had actually won the competition!
And he won so quickly!
It was too ridiculous!
"No, I want to see the first person perspective! I don't believe that a tiny Priest like him can kill a Level 31 Mage with Blood Equipment!"
"That's right! Maybe it's a bug! Let's go take a look too!"
As they spoke, they applied to view the replay of the battle.
On the other side, Lin Bei, who was preparing for the next battle, suddenly received a System notification.
[Player wants to check your first-person perspective of the competition. Do you agree?]
"Agreed! Set the price… 10 Silver coins per time."
[Price set successfully! Your battle replay rights have been unlocked. The price per match is 10 Silver coins, which can be changed at any time.]
Lin Bei smiled. 10 Silver coins per time was equivalent to 15 dollars in the Heavenly Might server. It was not a small amount.
If it was more, not many people would go and watch.
Swoosh!
With a flash of light, Lin Bei appeared in a swamp map. His opponent was a Level 40 Summoner called Eat Peach. He looked like a sissy man, but this did not matter. When the three-second countdown ended, Lin Bei did not wait for his opponent to summon his first beast and immediately used the Discipline Spell to kill him.
[You've won! There are seven matches left! Current Winning Percentage: 100%.]
Swoosh!
Lin Bei entered a waiting state again. His next opponent was a Level 48 Assassin, Gold rank, 2499 points. If he won another match, he would be able to enter the Platinum rank.
Players at this level were considered small experts in the game. They were much more aware and better at maneuvering than ordinary players.
But in Lin Bei's eyes, it was still not enough!
With a Discipline Spell, he won the competition again!
With his current damage, there was no battle that couldn't be solved with one Discipline Spell. If there was, then he would use two Discipline Spells. Anyway, his cooldown period was only 0.5 seconds, so he didn't have to worry at all.
"Damn, what the hell was that Priest just now? Is he really only Level 10? Or did he use Camouflage to hide his information?"
In a Gold Tavern, an Assassin was teleported back with a bewildered expression. He had just received the System's invitation to participate in the ranking competition. His opponent was a Level 10 Priest. He originally thought that he would definitely be able to successfully cross the level and enter the Platinum rank, but who would have thought that… he was the unlucky one who was being pressed down!
Chapter 33: The Whole Server Has Exploded! Is He Still Human? Asking for a Recommendation Ticket! (2)
"Isn't he a Priest? Why is he invisible? Did he use a Stealth Potion? Also, I'm invisible too. How did he discover me? Also, he's only Level 10. How did he insta-kill me?"
The Gold-rank Assassin's mind was filled with countless question marks.
[It costs 10 Silver coins to watch the battle replay of Inner Peace! Do you want to pay?]
"Ten Silver coins? That expensive?"
The Gold-rank Assassin was stunned. This price was almost comparable to the first-person perspective of a WGL professional player! However, he gritted his teeth and chose to pay 10 Silver coins to watch the other party's first-person perspective.
He wanted to know how he was insta-killed.
The scene flashed, and his perspective changed to Inner Peace.
[Novice Stealth Potion in effect! You have entered Stealth mode.]
"So he used drugs!"
The Gold-rank Assassin was enlightened. However, the speed at which he took the potion was too fast. He did not react at all.
Then, he saw "himself" turn invisible.
Then, he began to look at the grass around the swamp.
Then, he raised his hand and used the Discipline Spell. A terrifying damage number floated up. He saw his invisible state being hit. The high damage insta-killed him!
"Damn! So damned?"
After the battle replay ended, his consciousness returned to the tavern. His expression was even more bewildered than when he lost the competition.
"How did he discover me? The terrain of the swamp is complicated, and it's most suitable for Stealth! I didn't see anything at all! And he didn't use any concealment methods! The key is… he's really only Level 10!"
"Damn, isn't this person too awesome? Let me check his historical achievements! Hiss… He has already won six consecutive rounds in the ranking competition? Damn, if this ends, he will at least reach Platinum, right? He might even be able to reach Diamond! That's a Diamond big shot! In the entire game, less than 5% of the players can reach that level!"
The Gold-rank Assassin was dumbfounded. Driven by curiosity, he spent another 50 Silver coins to replay the other five ranking competitions of Inner Peace.
After viewing them, he was shocked.
Was he still human?
No matter who it was, he would use Stealth and Discipline Spell right away. On average, the duration of the battle did not exceed 5 seconds!
Steady as an old dog!
Most importantly, as he won consecutively, his opponent's strength and level kept increasing!
In the sixth match just now, his opponent was a Level 56 Platinum Paladin, but in the end? Wasn't he still insta-killed?
"What the damn… is he a monster? He's even more ridiculous than a Boss!"
The Gold-rank Assassin was stunned for a long time before he applied for permission. After signing the split contract, he shared the video from the first-person perspective on the forum.
Soon, the forum exploded! 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"A Level 10 Boss has appeared in the Dueling Arena! Heaven and earth are destroyed in seconds. He dominated the entire arena with a winning streak!"
"Damn! Are you telling me that he's a Priest? I don't read much, don't lie to me!"
"This damage is amazing! What kind of equipment is this? It's at least Gold-grade, right?"
" Hey, you up there, are you joking? I'm wearing a full set of Level 50 Gold-grade equipment, but it's not that ridiculous! In my opinion… I'm afraid it's Platinum-grade!"
"So fierce? Could it be that some professional big shot is operating his alternate account?"
"Hmph, aren't you just relying on your powerful equipment? As long as you have hands!"
"That's right, that's right. I can do it too!"
"Are you bragging? I just searched your IDs. One is Bronze, and the other is Iron. What are you two good at? I'm talking about you, the one called Frost Instant Kill! You're the person in the background for the first round, right? I've seen the maneuvers. Your old-man reaction speed is a joke!"
"Hahahaha!…"
…
While everyone was discussing on the forums, in Second World, the ninth server, Heavenly Might, everyone had yet to recover from the Server announcement.
[System Notification: Player "Anonymous" has broken through Level 10! As the first Level 10 player in the entire server! System reward: 1 "Level 10 Great Gift Bag", 100 gold coins, all basic attributes +5, all fixed attributes +1, potential points +5!]
[System Notification: …]
[System Notification: …]
Three consecutive Server announcements resounded through the sky. The entire Heavenly Might server could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned.
How long had it been since the Server opened? Less than half a day?
Level 10 already?
Are you kidding me?
At this stage, the average level of the players in the Server was only 4!
Was he still human?
In a graveyard of bones, when Forest Wood, who had taken back his account, heard the System notification, the corners of his eyes twitched. He looked down at his level and wanted to die!
"Damn! What's there to play! I'm not playing anymore! Going back to the 3rd Server to play my old account!"
Forest Wood's mentality collapsed. When he opened the level rankings, he had already fallen to 99th place. If he dropped another rank, he would be out of the rankings!
In front of him were all players from Azure Plume Guild!
"I'm not playing anymore! This Server is poisonous!"
Forest Wood cursed and went offline.
In the entire Heavenly Might server, everyone felt as if their chests were suffocating.
At this moment, a post on the forum about a Level 10 Priest slaughtering the entire field was seen. Then… the entire Heavenly Might server exploded!
Because this Priest was none other than the player who had just broken through Level 10 and obtained the System reward!
He was the famous Combat Priest on the forums, or rather, the Asura Priest!
Chapter 34: The Whole Server Exploded! Is He Still Human? Asking for a Recommendation Ticket! (3)
At the same time, he was also the idol of all the solo players in the Heavenly Might server!
His ID was exposed at this moment!
He was called Inner Peace!
At this moment, all the players in the Server were in an uproar!
…
Dragon Country, Nine Heavens Club.
The coach stared at the post on the forum for a long time before connecting up a call.
"Are you that Priest player called Inner Peace?"
On the other side of the phone, Chen Changsheng was dumbfounded. He frowned and said, "No, I already said that my name is Cao Fei Apollo!"
"Is that true?"
"Of course!"
Chen Changsheng hung up, feeling somewhat baffled.
He had wanted to use that name before, but wasn't it a duplicate name?
However, it was precisely because of this that he obtained an S-rank talent!
He had to admit that his luck was really good.
He believed that with his current leveling speed, he would be able to catch up to the first tier players in half a year at most and reign supreme in the professional arena again!
"Hmph, just you wait, Apollo. I'll send you flying!"
Chen Changsheng sneered and went back online to train.
…
In Deity Gou's livestream, all the viewers were in an uproar.
"Damn! As expected of Deity Gou! He really has a discerning eye!"
"That's right, that's right! Dog Feed is awesome! He actually saw the power of the Priest early on! As expected of a former WWL professional player! He's awesome!"
"Haha, this Combat Priest is amazing! I'm a fan of Deity Gou too! From now on, he's my only idol in the 9th Server!"
"Me too! This Priest is ridiculously powerful!"
"Coach! I want to play Combat Priest too!"
"Damn you, go back and train!"
As Deity Gou played the first-person perspective of Inner Peace, he also looked at the audience in the live-stream who had suddenly become excited. A smile appeared on his face.
He knew that gold would always shine.
As a result, the other party directly took off!
Next, it was time to contact and discuss the matter of the live broadcast cooperation.
He believed that as long as he operated it well, their popularity would increase unprecedentedly with their cooperation!
[You have received the System's invitation to the ranking competition! You will receive double the points reward after winning!]
[Battle Player Inner Peace (Lv.10, Priest, Unranked)". Do you accept the invitation?]
Deity Gou was stunned when he saw the System notification.
At this moment, the live-stream was already bustling.
"Hahaha! Accept the invitation! Deity Gou, this round of consecutive victories depends on you!"
"Charge! Charge! Show him the power of a former WWL professional player!"
"Although I really like Combat Priest, I have to say that he might not even last 10 seconds against Deity Gou!"
"Be bold! Remove the possibility!"
"Deity Gou, the Combat Priest is my idol. You must remember to show mercy! Otherwise, I'll log out of the livestream!"
"…"
At the same time, the news of the battle between the two sides immediately attracted a large number of viewers under the spread by the netizens in live-stream.
When Deity Gou saw the rapidly increasing popularity of the live-stream, he grinned and accepted the System's battle invitation.
Although he had retired and his competitive skills had decreased a lot, as a technical streamer, his maneuvering skills were not weak.
Although he couldn't compare to the professional players of WWL, he wasn't inferior to the NWL players.
Moreover, he was Level 81 and had a full set of Level 80 Gold-grade equipment. His weapon was even Platinum-grade. How could he be afraid of a Level 10 Priest? 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠
But then again, he still wanted to cooperate with the other party in the future. He needed to show some mercy. Otherwise, if he made things too awkward, the cooperation might be over.
"Okay, then I'll give him some chance later."
As Deity Gou thought this, he turned into a white light and appeared in the arena.
Chapter 35: Ranking Completed! Team Competition! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket! Asking for a Monthly Ticket! (1)
The battle scene was a dark graveyard.
Here, there were broken walls everywhere, and the light was dim.
However, to Lin Bei, who had the night vision Buff, it did not affect him at all.
"Finally, it's the last match. The opponent seems to be a big streamer. He was very popular in his previous life. It's said that he's a retired professional player with good moves."
Lin Bei glanced at the battle information.
Deity Gou Is not the Dog Deity (Lv.81)
Profession: Shadow Summoner
Rank: Grandmaster, 4215 points
Individual battle record: 7,480 wins, 3,420 losses (Winning Percentage: 68.6%)
Very powerful. One had to know that this was a grandmaster. To be able to maintain such a winning percentage of more than ten thousand matches, his maneuvering skill was definitely top-notch.
Generally speaking, if one had a 70% winning percentage of that of a Grandmaster and above, one would have a chance of entering the top 500. Even if this Deity Gou was not in the top 500, he should be able to enter the top 5,000 on the Stairway Ranking.
One had to know that this was the top 5,000 worldwide.
Last time, Lin Bei's best ranking was only around 10,000.
Of course, it was because he had entered the game too late. In addition, his talent and equipment were trash. Even if his maneuvers were online, there was nothing he could do.
Just like the Priest currently, could a Level 10 player with full control of his maneuvers withstand a Discipline Spell from him?
The answer was obvious.
Deity Gou did not make a move immediately. Instead, he sent a private message about the live broadcast cooperation.
After Lin Bei received it, he thought about it and gave an answer. It was not bad to have a streamer to make him popular. In the future, when he established a team, he could make use of it. As for the division of profits, he would discuss it in detail later.
"By the way, you don't have to hold back. This is a graveyard scene. Although your Shadow Summoner will be buffed, it's fine. Just fight normally."
Lin Bei said this and entered into the Stealth mode.
This stunned Deity Gou for a second before he reacted. Since the other party had said so, he would not give in to him anymore. What if he became angry and refused to cooperate with him?
This was not good news for him.
As for the other party being defeated by him, wasn't it obvious?
He was a Level 81 Shadow Summoner, and the place here had bonuses. Coupled with his +3 Gold-grade equipment and a +5 Platinum-grade magic staff, he had the advantage of time, place, and support. How could he lose?
Moreover, the Summoner was shameless in PK. As long as he survived the first wave, the longer he dragged it out, it would only be a matter of time before he won the competition.
However, when he saw Lin Bei enter into the Stealth mode, he did not let his guard down. He immediately summoned a True Sight Spirit. All the invisible units within a 50-meter radius were exposed.
Moreover, the True Sight Spirit had a maximum health of 50,000. It was not easy to destroy it.
Soon, Lin Bei's figure was exposed in his line of sight.
"Summon the Shadow Devil Bug!"
"Summon: Shadow Elf!"
"Summon: Shadow Guard!"
Almost instantly, Deity Gou released three shadow summons in a row, summoning three shadow creatures.
[Affected by the shadow aura, your summoned creatures have been strengthened! Attributes have been strengthened by 20%!]
A layer of black mist appeared on all the shadow summoned creatures, and their attributes increased by a level.
The 20 Shadow Devil Bugs were extremely fast and they rushed towards Lin Bei.
The Shadow Devil Bug was a type of shadow summoned creature that moved very quickly. Generally speaking, it was a summoned creature that was responsible for harassing the enemy in battle. Its attack was less than 2,000 points, but whether it was strong or not depended on who the opponent was. In Deity Gou's opinion, how many Health Points could a Level 10 Priest have? How many defense attributes could he have?
Under the siege of the Shadow Devil Bugs, he would definitely die!
However, he still summoned the Shadow Elf and the Shadow Guard to give the other party some face. Otherwise, it would seem like he was bullying a noob and he would lose face.
However, he was soon dumbfounded.
A holy light descended and enveloped the Shadow Devil Bugs.
In the blink of an eye, the screen was filled with high damage numbers. All the Shadow Devil Bugs with maximum Health Points of only 5,000 were instantly killed!
"Damn, what kind of damage is this? It's too ridiculous."
Although the attacks and the Health Points of the Shadow Devil Bugs were not high, they had been strengthened to Level 5 after all. Its Defense was as high as 3,000 points. Even if the other party's damage was high, before such a high defense, its damage should not be so great!
Moreover, the Priest only had one spell, the Discipline Spell, that dealt Judgment Damage. Even if one or two of his Shadow Devil Bugs were killed, the other ten or so would be enough to annihilate him!
However, the truth was right in front of him. The Shadow Devil Bugs he had summoned were all dead!
"Is the Holy Light Burst so powerful? This doesn't make sense."
Obviously, Deity Gou had mistaken Lin Bei's AoE skill to be the Holy Light Burst. After all, from the public understanding, prior to Level 10, the Priest's AoE skill was Holy Light Burst.
"Oh no! The True Sight Spirit has been insta-killed!"
Just as he was in a daze, Lin Bei had already approached quickly. He used the Discipline Spell to trigger a Magic Critical Hit and instantly killed the True Sight Spirit.
Deity Gou's mouth twitched. Wasn't this luck too good?
It was actually a critical hit!
However… this way, the opponent's two attack skills were both on cooldown!
Next, it was my home ground!
The corners of Deity Gou's mouth curled up slightly. He raised his hand and waved. The Shadow Elf immediately gathered its magic power and prepared to release a big move in all directions. Meanwhile, the Shadow Guard released a shield and directly covered Deity Gou.
Although the previous variables had caused him to lose the Shadow Devil Bugs and the True Sight Spirit, for Deity Gou, everything had just begun. He had only killed a few summoned creatures, and he still had many summoning skills that he had yet to use!
Chapter 36: Ranking Completed! Team Competition! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket! Asking for a Monthly Ticket! (2)
Soon, Deity Gou's magic staff condensed with light, and summoned creatures appeared around him. In just a few seconds, he was surrounded by more than 30 summoned creatures.
Moreover, these summoned creatures' bodies were tightly pressed together, leaving no gaps at all.
"This way, even if the other party goes into the Stealth mode, he won't be able to sneak in. Next, as long as I use the Shadow Elf's extremely large-scale magic to clear the area, I will be able to quickly kill him!"
Deity Gou's heart was as clear as a mirror, and a smile hung on his lips.
In fact, his plan was not bad, but the key was… he had underestimated Lin Bei's strength!
"So considerate? He actually gathered all the summoned creatures together?"
Lin Bei, who was in Stealth mode, was stunned for a moment. He did not say anything else and took advantage of the opponent's summoning time to stick close to him. Then, he raised his hand and used the Discipline Spell, which covered the entire battlefield!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless rays of white light lit up. These seemingly incomparably powerful summoned creatures were like paper, collapsing in the holy light.
Of course, there were still a few Shadow Guard and Blood Bull summoned creatures that were lucky enough to survive. These summoned creatures generally had more than 100,000 Health Points. With Lin Bei's current damage, even if he triggered a Magic Critical Hit, he would not be able to insta-kill them.
However… just because he couldn't insta-kill these summoned creatures didn't mean he couldn't insta-kill Deity Gou!
His maximum Health Points was only slightly more than 50,000.
If he was unlucky. Lin Bei's critical hit would insta-kill him.
[You lost! -20 points! Current rank: Grandmaster, 4,195 points. Winning Percentage: 68.6%.]
"I was careless! I didn't dodge!"
After leaving the arena, Deity Gou was not in a good mood.
He did not expect the battle to end so quickly.
Moreover, if he was prepared in advance, he could use Flash to get away from the summoned creatures and dodge the other party's attack.
"Sigh, I've shot myself in the foot."
When he thought about how he had summoned a bunch of monsters to his side earlier, Deity Gou could not help but feel helpless.
Otherwise, in his opinion, there was still room for maneuver.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world. A defeat was a defeat.
He did not take it to heart. It was just a competition, so he had to take it easy.
"Sigh, I'm getting old. Everyone, you saw it just now. Our Inner Peace Boss is really fierce. I've already made such maneuvers, yet I still died! As expected of the man I like!"
Deity Gou bragged in the live-stream, "In my opinion, the big shot's strength is not inferior to the top 500 at all! As long as we spend some time, we can definitely fight our way up!"
"Sob sob sob, Dog Feed was actually tortured to death. He's so miserable. I love him so much."
"Haha, he had too many lapses."
"I can only say that the Inner Peace Boss is awesome!"
"The damage is too high. How did he do it?"
"It was talent. And according to my observations, it's at least a level-A talent, and it's very likely to be a perfect talent for the Priest profession! Look at the damage of that Discipline Spell. My eyes have been blinded."
On the forums, the number of posts about Lin Bei and Deity Gou's battle increased rapidly, and the share of profits from Lin Bei's videos were also received wave after wave.
By now, he already had 5000 gold coins in his account balance.
This speed was even faster than him killing monsters.
"I've finally completed the ranking competition. I can go to the team competition to get the high-level Buffs!"
Lin Bei glanced at his battle data.
Inner Peace (Lv.10)
Profession: Priest
Rank: Grandmaster, 4020 points
Individual Competition: 10-0 (Winning Percentage: 100%)
Team competition: 0 wins 0 losses
Not bad. Due to his 10 consecutive wins and his last match against Deity Gou, who was at the Grandmaster rank, he won with an advantage, so he directly reached the Grandmaster rank for the first time.
Generally speaking, even if he won 10 consecutive victories in the ranking competition, he would at most be a master. However, for some reason, he was matched with a Grandmaster this time, so his final ranking score was much higher.
"Let's begin the team competition!"
After the preliminaries were over, Lin Bei chose the team competition.
He had not forgotten the purpose of entering the Duel Space this time.
He had to get a few more high-level Buffs and then go back to the contaminated cave in Fishermen's Bay to get rid of the King-tier Boss!
With his current "Drop Quality +2" Buff, when the time came, at least one Obsidian Grade equipment should be dropped!
Even in his previous life, he had never seen Obsidian-grade equipment!
Hence, Lin Bei could not help but feel a little excited.
In the database of Second World's official forum, there was some information about the grades of equipment. The equipment was introduced as having been divided into a few grades: Normal, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Obsidian, and Extraordinary. At the current stage, because the world mission had not been activated, all the monsters in the wild were only Level 80! 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
According to Second World's EXP acquisition system, every time a player's level exceeded a monster's by one level, the EXP gained would decrease by 10%. This was also the reason why the highest-level player in the current server was only Level 89. Apart from the ridiculous amount of EXP they needed to level up, they would also suffer a 90% EXP reduction penalty when farming monsters to level up.
What was even more terrifying was that the closer one was to Level 90, the more terrifying the penalty reduction would be. The maximum was 99.99%. At that stage, killing a monster would probably only give one digit of experience. Therefore, for everyone, reaching Level 90 was still remote.
However, this did not matter to Lin Bei. He was only Level 10. He could kill monsters above his level to enjoy the experience bonus and level up quickly.
Chapter 37: Ranking Completed! Team Competition! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket! Asking for a Monthly Ticket! (3)
[Successful matching! The team competition will begin in 30 seconds!]
[Information on both parties: …]
Lin Bei glanced at the battle information and stopped looking.
Because he was now at the Grandmaster rank, the teammates he was matched up with were at least at the Grandmaster rank. Their maneuvers and awareness were not bad. When the time came, he would just have to improvise.
Furthermore, he was here to hold the line. It was almost impossible for him to lose.
The team competition in the Duel Space was a 20 vs. 20 team battle. The coordination between teammates was very important. Of course, the combination of professions was also very important. If they were unlucky and matched up with a professional lineup that was restrained by the opponent, then this round would basically be over.
Unless there was a huge gap between the standard of the two sides' maneuvers, there would basically be no accidents.
In this round, Lin Bei encountered such a situation where his lineup was suppressed by the other party.
His teammates felt helpless.
Especially when they saw that a Level 10 Priest had inexplicably sneaked into the party, they were all stunned.
"Damn, it's one thing for this lineup to be restrained, but it's actually 19 against 20. This is definitely going to blow up! My competitive points!"
"Sigh, don't say anymore. I've been playing for an entire day and finally became a Master. If I lose this round, I'll have to drop back to Diamond! I'm the one who's suffering!"
"Alright, alright. We're all making progress here, but the opponents are group-controlled. Everyone, prepare to pursue them to death."
"Don't be discouraged. We have two Priests and two Paladins. As long as we can heal them, we can still fight."
A Paladin was quite optimistic and grinned.
"Where did the two Priests come from? Does that Level 10 count? Even if his maneuvers were amazing, how much healing can a Level 10 have? It's already good enough that he doesn't cause trouble for us!"
A Combat Priest said helplessly, "Also, I'm a Combat Priest. I mainly use Buffs, so I don't have much healing." 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗o𝚟𝚎𝚕.org
"Forget it, forget it. I'll do my best and leave it to fate."
The morale of the group was low.
"That's right! We haven't even fought yet! And you want to lose? Damn it, what ever happened to our close-proximity combat? We'll go up and punch them in the face! We'll slash at anyone we see. As long as we rush in, we can win!"
"That's true, but… you have to be able to rush in first to talk about it. With swift restraining attacks, how can our direct attack win?!"
Lin Bei heard the discussion of his teammates, but he did not care. Is the direct attack weak? Having been reborn, he couldn't help but shake his head.
In the current version, direct attack was the solution!
Not weak at all!
Everyone felt that it was weak because they did not understand the essence of direct attack!
"Forget it, let's play."
[3…2…1! The battle begins!]
The opponent's lineup consisted of 4 Archers, 4 Priests, 2 Paladins, and 10 Mages. Their control and explosive damage were outstanding, and their healing was not low. Most importantly, their hands were long.
On Lin Bei's side, other than the two Priests and the two Summoners, they were all professions for close-proximity combats!
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that their side was a lineup of losers!
But… Lin Bei didn't think so.
"Although the healing is a little low, with me around… it's enough to make up for it!"
With his Healing Spell and the terrifying Holy Light Recovery, he had no idea how he would lose!
This was because, for direct attack, as long as one could hold out, it would be invincible!
And his healing was the key to victory this time!
[You have received a battle cry bonus! All Defense +500. Duration ∞.]
[You have received a Body Strengthening bonus! Maximum Health Points +10,000! Duration ∞.]
[You have received a Spirit Gathering bonus! Maximum Magical Power +10,000! Duration ∞.]
[You have received a Battle Blood bonus! All Attack Power +1,000. Duration ∞.]
[You have received a Battle Protection bonus! All Defense +1,000. Duration ∞.]
[You have received a Battle Intent Burst bonus! All critical hit rate +20%. Duration: ∞.]
[You have received a Killing Intent Wave bonus! All damage +15%. Duration: ∞.]
As soon as the battle started, a series of System notifications rang in Lin Bei's ears. All kinds of high-level Buffs were continuously added to his body, making him feel extremely good!
Haha, he finally got the Buffs!
Lin Bei smiled and cast a Holy Light Recovery and Holy Light Shield on his teammates.
"Damn, what kind of healing is this? Awesome!"
"Damn? Is this a Holy Light Shield? This feels too good! With this shield's capacity, it can't be broken by the other party for a while!"
"Brothers, our chance is here! Charge together! Kill him!"
"Charge, charge, charge!"
For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.
Chapter 38: Everything is Ready! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket! Asking for a Monthly Ticket!
With all kinds of Buffs, Lin Bei's magic attack had reached a terrifying 3,250 points!
In this state, with the addition of the other Holy Light Buffs and the 15% increase of the Killing Intent Wave he had just received, a Holy Light Recovery could add a Buff of more than 9,000 Health Points to everyone in the team!
In addition, the capacity of the Holy Light Shield was also terrifyingly high, exceeding 140,000 points!
The high capacity of the shield was equivalent to giving his teammates two more lives. Coupled with the terrifying recovery of their health, when they charged, it was as if they had entered an uninhabited place, completely dumbfounding their originally confident opponents.
"Damn, what's going on? They only have two Priests and two Paladins, and one of them is a Level 10 noob. How can he resist so well? This shield… Isn't it too damn thick? Damn!"
"Control! Focus the fire!"
"Damn, that marksman, watch your positioning!"
In the distance, Forest Wood had a pained expression. He was the Archer who had been scolded by his teammates for positioning. Previously, he had shut himself off in the new server. Originally, he had wanted to go back to his main account and come to the arena to torture the noobs. He wanted to regain his confidence and cure the poison. Moreover, his luck was not bad. He had encountered the Level 10 Priest who had angered him in the first round!
At that time, his eyes were wide open! He thought that his fate had arrived.
Moreover, with the lineup of both sides, they had the absolute advantage!
"Perfect, I'll torture you and let you know that there's always someone better!"
His main account was a Level 82 Gale Archer, and he was fully equipped with Gold-grade equipment. His weapon was a Platinum-grade crossbow, and his damage output was explosive.
What speedy attack archery? In his eyes, it was trash. With his profession bonus, he could shoot five arrows in a second. Coupled with his attack power that exceeded 10,000, how could he not insta-kill a Level 10 Priest?
Therefore, as soon as the battle started, he put his focus on Lin Bei.
In his opinion, those short-legged close-proximity combat players could be defeated by his other teammates. What he needed to do was to walk alone and kill that annoying Priest!
However, as soon as the battle started, he was dumbfounded.
Everyone on the other side seemed to be on drugs. They were incomparably brave. When his teammates' attacks landed on them, it was as if they were completely useless!
However, by the time he reacted, he had already lost his position.
Seeing more than ten people shouting and rubbing their fists as they surrounded him, his heart turned cold. He shouted and raised his hand to shoot an arrow into the sky.
"Sunset!"
All directions were covered by a rain of arrows. He was already surrounded by people. It was impossible for him to survive. He only had one goal at the moment—to take out that Priest before he died!
Ding, ding, ding…
However, outside the crowd, there was a series of sounds of blocking. A Priest player in a white robe was casually strolling in the area covered by the rain of arrows. All the arrows that landed beside him were blocked by him!
"Damn!"
Forest Wood's eyes widened. He only had time to curse before he was slashed dead by a dozen burly men.
"Is this Archer a retard? The Archer is actually walking alone. Does he think he can fight twenty people alone? I am vomiting!"
One of the Frozen teammates cursed. Their DPS wasn't enough to begin with. Now that a powerful DPS had died, the situation was even more difficult!
"Brother Paladin, give me Invincibility."
Lin Bei said to a Paladin in the team as he blocked the arrows.
"Uh… Okay, okay."
The Paladin was dumbfounded. He looked at Lin Bei's terrifying actions and subconsciously swore a Paladin's Oath to him.
[You have obtained the Paladin's Oath! You can block a fatal attack every 60 seconds! Duration: ∞.]
"Haha, as expected of a Level 80 Paladin's ultimate skill. It's awesome!"
Lin Bei was overjoyed. With the Paladin's Oath, he had an additional invincibility Buff that could be used every 60 seconds, greatly increasing his life-saving ability!
"Everyone, attack together. Paladins, take the lead. Gun Warriors and Sword Masters, follow behind. I'll heal everyone. Charge over directly!"
"Alright!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted when they heard this. They did not refute and directly consolidated their formation and charged forward.
Lin Bei's maneuvers just now had completely convinced them. So what if he was Level 10? If he could heal, he was a Priest! Moreover, this Priest's skills were so good that they were all stunned.
He actually dared to bathe in the ultimate move of the Level 80 Gale Archer. It was simply ridiculous!
Under Lin Bei's command, the group of people fought steadily and gradually tore apart the enemy's formation.
"Ah, I'm out of magic power!"
"Brother, don't push me. I'm a Priest!"
"Damn, you Paladin, why don't you resist the attack!"
"Resist my ass. Look at those dozen burly men. Can I withstand them?"
Soon, the team that had lost their cooperation was quickly dispersed and defeated one by one.
[Your team has won! The score is 20:0!]
"Awesome! Hahahaha! I didn't expect that we could win by direct attack! Awesome!"
"Brothers, do you want to join our team? The top ten teams in CWL will definitely receive good treatment!"
"So you're that popular Combat Priest on the forum? You really live up to your reputation. You're too awesome!"
"Boss, do you need a human tool or a human shield? I can withstand it!"
The group of teammates looked at Lin Bei in a very friendly manner, their eyes filled with admiration.
They had no choice but to admit defeat. His maneuvers and awareness were not something masters like them could compare to.
"You're welcome. We're just taking what we need."
Lin Bei waved his hand and rejected the invitations of some people before leaving the Duel Spacel space.
He had already obtained a wave of high-level Buffs. Now, it was time to deal with the King-tier Boss in the Fishermen's Bay area!
His attributes had already increased by a large margin compared to before!

"With such a thick shield and nearly 10,000 Health Recovery, it's enough to deal with that King-tier Boss!"
After Lin Bei left the Duel Space, he rushed towards the Fishermen's Bay.
However, at this moment, he received a private message from Green Collar.
Green Collar: "Deity, didn't you want to invest in Azure Plume Guild? Are you interested in discussing this?"
Lin Bei laughed when he saw the private message. As expected, after seeing his popularity and strength, she was preparing to pull him in?
It was a good opportunity to see what they were up to. If there was room for manipulation, he would think of a way to control Green Collar. If he could succeed, with his support and Green Collar's management, it wouldn't be long before Azure Plume Guild developed into a behemoth!
Green Collar's management skills could be seen from the fact that she had single-handedly led Azure Plume Guild to become one of the ten great Commercial Guilds in the past.
If he could get it, it would be a good thing for Lin Bei.
He was prepared to establish a professional team, but it was still quite difficult to do it alone. After all, he didn't know much about management, only tactics and maneuvers, so it was necessary to have a professional team to help.
Meanwhile, Azure Plume Guild was his current target.
Of course, it would be best if he could succeed. If he couldn't, he wouldn't force it.
After all, he had the experience and skills to lead this era. At most, it would be a little troublesome. It would not be difficult for him to develop.
Lin Bei waited for a few minutes before Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume arrived.
"This is the agreement I drew up. You can take a look."
Lin Bei took the agreement and glanced at it with a playful expression.
Bet agreement?
Interesting.
Chapter 39: Their Own Schemes! The Boss Has Mutated Again! Asking for Tickets
Bet Agreement
Party A: Azure Plume Guild
Party B: Inner Peace
Content of Agreement:
1. Within 24 hours, if Party B does not earn 1,000,000 Gold Coins, Party B will join Party A unconditionally. Party A will buy the equipment at market price.
2. Within 24 hours, if Party B's equipment revenue exceeds 5 million gold coins, Party A will transfer 25% of its shares to Party B for equipment purchase.
3. Within 24 hours, if Party B's equipment revenue exceeds 10 million gold coins, Party A will transfer 51% of its shares to Party B for equipment purchase.
"Okay, I'll sign it."
Lin Bei glanced at the contents of the Bet Agreement and said, "But… I have to change it."
"How?"
Green Collar said.
"How about this? Starting from the signing of the agreement, I'll farm equipment within 24 hours while you guys raise funds. If the value of the equipment I get in the end is not as much as the funds you guys raise, I'll join your Azure Plume Guild unconditionally and not ask for any shares."
Lin Bei said leisurely, "But if it's the opposite, you have to transfer 67% of your shares to me."
"What!"
Unparalleled Plume cried out in surprise. Her eyes hinted at Green Collar, telling her not to be rash.
"Alright, I want to add one more."
Green Collar said indifferently, "The value of equipment cannot be calculated to include equipment below the Iron-grade."
"Alright, then I have a request. You're not allowed to use the family resources."
"Alright!"
Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume discussed for a long time before finally agreeing.
She had a guess that Lin Bei's talent was related to drops. It seemed that ordinary monsters would drop Iron-grade equipment, so she thought for a long time and excluded Iron-grade equipment. This way, she could limit the other party to a large extent, which was more beneficial to them.
Of course, she did not exclude the Bronze Equipment because she was afraid that the other party would directly reject the agreement.
However, according to her speculation, if Lin Bei wanted to get bronze equipment, he would have to kill elite monsters. However, in the Holy Light Village area, the birth points of elite monsters were fixed, and there was a long distance between them. Even if the latter was a big shot, the efficiency would definitely not be too high.
Unless the other party could find a Wild Instance Dungeon, but… she had done her research. Not every novice village would spawn a Wild Instance Dungeon. Moreover, Wild Instance Dungeons were usually very hidden and difficult to discover.
According to the official forum statistics, the record of the first few servers to discover a novice village was set by Apollo on the first server, Divine Opening, on the fifth day of the server launch.
Although she felt that Inner Peace was very powerful, it was definitely inferior to Apollo, the WWL MVP of the year.
Even if he could discover the Wild Instance Instance Dungeon earlier than Apollo, it was only the first day of the server launch. How could it be so fast?
Furthermore, even if he could discover a Wild Instance Dungeon today, clearing an Instance Dungeon was not something that a single person could easily accomplish!
This required a lot of energy and time, but the duration in the agreement was only 24 hours. It was very pressing. She did not think that he could achieve anything!
In addition, she planned to arrange for the members of the guild to go to the area around the Holy Light Village where the elite monsters spawned to level up. This way, she could further suppress the other party.
Therefore, Azure Plume Guild had a high chance of winning!
Originally, she had wanted to see if she could use the segmented agreement to provoke the other party so that he would fall for it. In the end, the other party actually changed the agreement. Moreover, no matter how she looked at it, this agreement was more beneficial to their Azure Plume Guild!
Of course, she did not treat the other party as a fool. Since the other party dared to change like this, it meant that he had something to rely on.
However, she wasn't worried. She and Unparalleled Plume had a lot of assets together. If it really didn't work out, they each had a villa. It would be worth a lot of money even if they sold it.
What's more, the clause about not using family resources in the agreement was vague and had room for manipulation!
Therefore, she and Unparalleled Plume were not worried at all.
After 24 hours, she would be able to pull this arrogant Deity into the guild.
"Then we won't disturb you anymore. Go ahead and do your work."
Green Collar said with a smile.
"Alright, see you at the warehouse of the Holy Light Village in 24 hours!"
Lin Bei nodded and disappeared into the forest.
Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume did not leave. Instead, they waited for three minutes. After confirming that there was no one around, they began to discuss the Bet Agreement.
"Green, I had thought the Deity was a fool, but he actually changed the agreement. He still had a chance to get 20% of the shares."
Unparalleled Plume said helplessly.
"Maybe he has his own plans. Or… does he think that we can't gather a lot of funds? Anyway, the server has just opened, and no one knows our identities. Maybe he feels that he's not confident in getting equipment worth 1,000,000 Gold Coins, so he changed the agreement?"
Green Collar frowned as well.
"Yeah, probably."
Unparalleled Plume nodded. She could not think of any other possibilities.
"However… we can't be too ruthless. I feel that with the Deity's strength and potential, his future achievements will definitely not be low! Therefore, I suggest that even if he loses the bet in the end, we give him some shares. That way, he can have a greater sense of belonging to our guild."
Green Collar looked at Unparalleled Plume. "Cousin, what do you think?"
"Yes! I think so too! We have to look further into the future. The Deity has unlimited potential. He will definitely bring more benefits to our Azure Plume Guild in the future!"
Unparalleled Plume was infatuated. "I'm now the leader of the Inner Peace fan club. As a fan of the Deity, how can I treat him badly? Moreover, our bottom line is that we can give up 20% of the shares, so it's completely acceptable to give up some shares. In my opinion, let's see how the Deity's gains are in the end. If they're not bad, we can give him 20%."
'Well, that's settled then. By the way, have you rented out your house yet?'
"Soon. The real estate agent said he found someone who's looking for a house, but he can't be contacted for the time being. Let's wait and see."
"Then come stay at my house. I'm quite bored alone."
"Alright! Go offline and wait for me. I'll be there soon!"
On top of the tree, Lin Bei, who had been listening to the two ladies' private conversation in stealth, smiled. "What a pity. I don't want 20% of the shares, but 67%! Absolute control over the Azure Plume Guild!"
"Hmm… Fortunately, I held back. Otherwise, with Green Collar's cautious personality, it might not have been so easy to sign the agreement."
Lin Bei smiled and said.
Green Collar might not know that the clause she thought she could exploit was deliberately changed by Lin Bei.
Because he felt that by revealing a flaw, he could completely dispel Green Collar's worries and make her obediently fall into the trap.
And it turned out that he had done the right thing.
"Next, it's time to deal with the Boss and open the dungeon!"
Lin Bei jumped down from the tree and ran towards the Fishermen's Bay.
As a reborn person, he naturally knew that the Holy Light Village had a Wild Instance Dungeon, and there was more than one!
Otherwise, Holy Light Village would not have been evaluated as one of the top ten novice villages in Heavenly Might in his previous life.
In the Instance Dungeon, the weakest monsters were elite monsters. With his current Buff of "Drop Quality +2", they could drop Silver equipment!
A piece of silver was worth at least a few hundred gold coins.
With his current attributes, the Holy Light Village Wild Instance Dungeon was not difficult at all.
"Furthermore, if I kill that Tainted-Blood Fanatic, it'll drop at least one Obsidian-grade equipment, right? How much is a piece of Obsidian-grade equipment worth?"
Lin Bei looked satisfied.
This was the first Obsidian-grade equipment in the entire Second World.
This equipment was probably enough for him to win the bet, right?
Lin Bei smiled and shook his head. He was almost certain of winning the bet.
…
Fishermen's Bay, undersea cave.
Lin Bei was familiar with the place. After clearing up the new contaminated miners, he came to the entrance of the stone room deep in the cave and looked at the fusion creature with tentacles.
[Tainted-Blood Fanatic Blanca: Level 30, King-tier, Maximum Health Points: 32,000,000]
"As expected of a King-tier Boss. Its Health Points are really high. 30 million health is enough for me to scrape for a while."
Lin Bei chuckled and waved his Limit Magic Staff to cast the Discipline Spell on the Boss!
-91,568! (Magic Critical Hit!)
After getting a high-level Buff in the Duel Space, Lin Bei's attributes had already changed!
With a 50% Magic Critical Hit rate and the Judgment Damage from the Discipline Spell, it took out nearly 100,000 Health Points from the Tainted-Blood Fanatic in one hit!
Of course, the increase in damage was secondary. The most important thing was that he would not be insta-killed by the Boss!
Nearly 20,000 Health Points and a shield capacity of more than 140,000. In addition to the double defense which exceeded 2,000 points, he also had nearly 10,000 Health Recovery speed. Now that he had transformed into a super Health Points blood bull, he could directly defeat a King-tier Boss!
The huge blood ball attack landed again. Lin Bei did not dodge, and it still landed on him.
-28,000!
The damage of less than 30,000 points did not even break the Holy Light Shield on his body!
What's more, his cooldown was short! He could put a shield on himself every four seconds. It would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to!
"Hehe, it's my turn!"
Lin Bei's Discipline Spell rained down twice a second, causing the Tainted-Blood Fanatic in the stone room to scream.
-45,784! -91,568! -91,568! …
A series of damage numbers floated above the Boss' head. He was extremely furious. All kinds of attacks landed on Lin Bei, but… it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no effect at all.
"Ahhhh! Human, I'm going to skin you alive! Ahhhh!"
When Blanca's Health Points were only left with 50%, it finally went berserk!
Lin Bei was not shocked. Instead, he was delighted. It had mutated!
This was a good thing!
This was a King-tier mutated Boss!
There were many benefits!
Lin Bei's eyes lit up as if he was looking at a rare treasure. He stared at Blanca until it felt uncomfortable.
"I can't take it anymore! I'm going to kill you! Die! Ahhhh—!"
"Come on, let me see how brave you are!"
Lin Bei smiled and put on another Holy Light Shield.
Chapter 40: King-tier First Killing! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket! Asking for a Monthly Ticket!
The Tainted-Blood Fanatic screamed and turned into a blood shadow. It instantly flew over and condensed his tentacles into blood swords that attacked Lin Bei!
So fast!
Lin Bei's eyes darkened. This Boss' speed was at least twice as fast as before it mutated!
Clang, clang, clang…
The Limit Magic Staff in his hand kept blocking, but even so, after reducing 90% of the damage, every slash could still deal more than 10,000 damage points to him!
"I've underestimated you."
Lin Bei quickly retreated and activated the White Wings' ability. His speed instantly doubled, and in a breath, he dodged more than ten slashes from the Boss.
At the same time, he kept casting the Discipline Spell on the Boss, draining its Health Points.
"Ahhh! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
Blanca, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic, screamed. Many of his tentacles actually broke off at the roots. Countless putrid green liquid gushed out of his body and gathered with the broken tentacles, finally turning into a blood-colored curved saber with an awe-inspiring aura.
"Die!"
Buzz!
In the entire stone room, the stone wall trembled violently. The green tainted blood aura on the altar instantly spread out, enveloping everything.
[You have been poisoned by the tainted blood. Health Points -10,000 per second. Duration: 30 seconds!]
[Your Purification Spell has taken effect! The poison of the tainted blood has dissipated!]
"Hmph, you still want to poison me?"
When Lin Bei heard the System notification, he snorted and continued to attack.
His Purification Spell had a permanent effect. No negative status could affect him!
However, the curved Blood Saber's aura made him feel uneasy. He had to end this quickly!
The Discipline Spell continued to rain down on the Tainted-Blood Fanatic, causing him to scream in pain.
Finally, when there was only 10% of his life left, the Blood Saber erupted!
"Blood Explosion!"
Blood-red saber light instantly swept through the entire space!
For a moment, the ground shook and everything around them collapsed!
-200,000! (Death Immunity!)
A dazzling golden light flashed on Lin Bei's body. The passive effect of Paladin's Oath took effect and blocked the fatal blow for him.
At the same time, the Blood Saber that was floating in the air fell to the ground with a clang. Blanca, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic, also turned into a pool of pus and scattered on the ground.
"That was close. I didn't expect the mutated King-tier Boss to be so powerful! If I didn't have the Paladin's Oath, I would have died again."
Lin Bei patted the dust off his body and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
[You have killed the Tainted-Blood Fanatic Branca (Lv. 30, King-tier, Mutated). You have received 3,000,000 experience points!]
[You've leveled up!]
Ten golden lights rose from his body in a row. Lin Bei leveled up 10 times in a row and his level soared to Level 20!
[You have obtained the first kill of a King-tier Boss! A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Do you wish to remain anonymous?]
[Congratulations on obtaining the First Killing Treasure Chest (King-tier) x1! All basic attributes +20! All fixed attributes +2! Potential points +10! Gold coins +10,000!]
"Not anonymous!"
Right now, there was not much point for him to continue hiding. He was the only Level 20 player in the entire Heavenly Might server. Even if he remained anonymous, others would quickly discover that he was the one who got the First Killing.
Therefore, he simply chose to make it public.
This way, he could also increase his reputation and make it more convenient for him to recruit troops in the future.
"I didn't expect to reach Level 20 so quickly. I can already enter the main city's Temple Square in the vicinity for my first professional advancement."
In Second World, every profession could advance once every 20 levels. After completing the advancement, in addition to activating some professional talents, the attribute points obtained every time he leveled up would also increase to a certain extent.
Of course, there were distinctions in professional advancement based on the difficulty levels. Just like talent, the highest was level-SSS and the lowest was level-F. The difference was huge.
However, the profession that players could advance to was related to the level of their innate talent. For example, Lin Bei had a level-SSS talent, so in terms of the choice of professional advancement, the highest professional advancement could be level-SSS. Those who were unlucky and only had a level-F talent could only progress to the most ordinary professional advancement. The difference was huge.
Of course, it did not mean that a level-SSS talent could successfully advance to a level-SSS profession. Under normal circumstances, the highest level of advancement in the main city's Temple Square was only a level-B profession. If one wanted to advance to a higher level profession, one would need both strength and luck. Some needed to trigger hidden missions, and some needed special items.
Therefore, even in his previous life, many players with level-A talents could only advance to level-B professions in the end.
Professional advancements above level-B were also known as hidden professions by everyone. There were even some powerful advanced professions among them that were the only hidden professions."
"I do know of a level-S hidden profession related to the professional advancement of Priests. Once we win the Bet Agreement, I can give it a try."
Lin Bei glanced at his attribute list. After leveling up 10 times in a row, he had obtained a total of 100 basic free attribute points and 20 potential points. However, it was worth mentioning that he could not learn the skills of Priests at Level 15 and 20.
This was because in Second World, only Level 1 to 10 skills were automatically displayed in the skill column for players to learn. Skills above Level 15 required skill manuals to learn.
There were three ways to obtain Skill Manuals. One was to go directly to the main city's Temple Square to buy them. The other was from killing monsters that would drop them. The other was by obtaining mission rewards.
However, even in the Temple Square, players could only buy some common skill manuals. If they wanted to buy advanced skill manuals, they needed a certain number of Temple Honor Points to unlock the purchase right.
However, this was all in the future. For Lin Bei, his priority was to farm as many monsters as possible to obtain equipment.
"I'll win the agreement first!"
Lin Bei stepped forward. The dust had already dispersed, and the ground was covered with the loot that the Boss had dropped.
"That Blood Saber is also here!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he immediately went forward to pick up the Blood Saber.
[Tainted Blood Magic Blade (Lv. 30, Obsidian-grade). Attribute: Unidentified.]
It was indeed an Obsidian weapon!
However, its specific attributes still required identification.
Identifying an equipment required an appraisal skill or an appraisal scroll. Lin Bei did not have either, so he could only temporarily put away the Tainted Blood Magic Blade for later use.
"This is… the King's Insignia!"
Suddenly, Lin Bei's eyes focused on a golden token.
[King's Insignia: A proof of great power. With it, one can exchange for unexpected benefits in the Holy Temple.]
"Haha! With this, I can change my profession to a hidden one!"
Lin Bei was overjoyed. The King's Seal was usually dropped from the First Killing of a King-tier Boss. The First Killing mentioned here was the First Killing of a single Boss, not the First Killing of all King-tier Bosses. However, even so, it was still as difficult as ascending to the heavens for most players!
First of all, King-tier Bosses were not as common as cabbages that they could be found everywhere. Secondly, the First Killing of a King-tier Boss meant that one would not have any experience points and would have to figure it out on his own. This required a lot of time and effort. Other than that, these Bosses would usually be occupied by powerful guilds. No one else would have the chance to try it out. Lastly, and most importantly, strength. Without strength, one would not be able to kill the Boss. In this way, everything would be empty talk, let alone obtain the King's Insignia!
In his previous life, it was only after a player broke through Level 100 and underwent their fifth professional advancement that they truly had the strength to challenge a King-tier Boss.
But now, the highest level players were not even Level 90. Other than some top players, no one else could hope to defeat a King-tier Boss!
"Sigh, what a pity for the Boss's blood… This is a King-tier Blood. If I could collect it and combine it with the Mutated Blood, I could keep killing King-tier Bosses."
Lin Bei sighed helplessly.
He had just tried to collect some Bosses' blood, but the System notified him that the blood had been contaminated and could not be extracted. This made him feel extremely sad.
"Let's see what else the Boss drops. After all, it's the first killing. It should be pretty good."
Lin Bei's gaze landed on the shiny spoils of war on the ground.
However, just as Lin Bei was counting the loot, all the players in the entire Heavenly Might Server were bewildered by the System announcement that suddenly sounded in the sky.
[Server Announcement: Player Inner Peace has completed the first killing of the entire server's King-tier Boss! Obtained the first killing reward!]
[Server Announcement: …]
[…]
Three consecutive server announcements resounded through the sky.
In a luxurious villa in Magic City, Green Collar, who was playing with Unparalleled Plume, had her phone vibrate. She looked down at the message and the smile on her face froze. She frowned.
"Green, what happened?"
Unparalleled Plume asked curiously.
"Sigh, Cousin, we… might have to consider selling the villa."
Green Collar sighed, her face solemn.
"Huh?"
Unparalleled Plume was stunned.
Sell the villa?
'Didn't you say rent?'
41 Rich Reward! Dungeon Opening! (1)
"As expected of the first kill of a King-tier Boss! This reward… is simply shocking!"
In the ruins of the cave, Lin Bei had already put all the spoils of war into his backpack. Not to mention anything else, just the equipment dropped was already very generous.
The Boss dropped a total of 10 pieces of equipment. Among them, other than the unidentified Obsidian equipment, there were also 2 Diamond equipment, 3 Platinum equipment, and 4 Gold equipment. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
However, they were all Level 30 equipment. Lin Bei could only watch helplessly and could not directly use them.
"In terms of equipment attributes, only these two pieces of Diamond equipment are suitable for me. About the rest, it's a pity."
His equipment drop rate was high, but whether the items were suitable for him depended on fate. However, he did not care too much about this. After all, with his current strength, he could easily obtain equipment. Moreover, after opening the dungeon later, he would have an endless source of equipment. At that time, he could pick any equipment he wanted and there was no need to worry.

—-|—-
"Moreover, they are a matching set of Diamond equipment, if their attributes are enhanced, the effects will be even better."
Lin Bei was very satisfied with the attributes of this pair of gloves.
Generally speaking, Diamond equipment could have up to six special effects. These two pieces of Tainted-Blood Gloves both had six special effects, which made them top-grade equipment among Diamond equipment!
Most importantly, their attributes were not bad!
This way, he could save many Stone Daggers.
Of course, other than these pieces of equipment, he had also obtained many good things from the first kill of the King-tier Boss.
Territory Crystal: Level 1. After using it, you can choose an area and establish a Level 1 territory.
Blood Demon Token: After using it, you can enter the Blood Demon Mystic Realm and complete the challenge to obtain generous rewards.
Strengthening Token: After using it, it can strengthen or refresh the basic attributes of an equipment.
"With this Territory Crystal, it will be even easier to win the deal!"
Lin Bei smiled. As for the other two items, he knew that the Strengthening Token was similar to the Stone Dagger. They were both used to strengthen and refresh the attributes of equipment. However, the Stone Dagger was used for special effects, while the Strengthening Token targeted basic attributes.
However, compared to the pitiful success rate of the Stone Dagger in strengthening special effects, the success rate of the strengthening of basic equipment attributes was still not bad.
+1 to +3 strengthening all had a 100% success rate. The success rate of +4 to +6 was 50%. The success rate of +7 to +9 was only 25%. Moreover, if the strengthening failed, it would cause the strengthened level to drop to Level 0. For the higher levels, the success rate would be halved again. Moreover, if the strengthening failed, the equipment would be completely shattered!
Therefore, even in his previous life, he had only seen +9 equipment at most.
However, only King-tier Bosses and above would drop Strengthening Tokens. Hence, even in his previous life, Strengthening Tokens were very precious. They were not items that ordinary players could afford.
As for now, it was needless to say. The only ones who could afford to use a Strengthening Token to strengthen their equipment were probably the big shots of top professional teams.
"But what exactly is this Blood Demon Token? Blood Demon Mystic Realm? I've never heard of them."
Lin Bei frowned slightly and shook his head, giving up on the idea of trying to use it. After all, currently, it was the agreement period, if he were teleported to that mystic realm and could not come out, he would be dead!
However, just as Lin Bei looked at the Blood Demon Token, a familiar golden figure slowly appeared in front of him.
"Brave adventurer! You did it! This is your reward!"
A golden light landed on Lin Bei. Then, the System notified him that he had successfully completed the mission of Elena's Request!
You have completed the mission! You have received the reward, Profession Expansion Scroll x1!
Due to your outstanding performance, you have obtained Elena's recognition and Elena's Blessing Necklace!
"Adventurer… Come to the ninth floor of the Blood Demon Prison… I'll wait for you there!"
Forcibly triggered unique hidden mission, Elena's Redemption! Mission Difficulty: Abyss Level. Mission Reward: Divine Fragment. Time Limit: 30 days. Failure penalty: All attributes decrease by 90% for 30 days.
Lin Bei was speechless.
Mandatory mission?
Moreover… What the hell was Abyss Level difficulty?
Lin Bei was stunned.
As far as he knew, the difficulty of missions and dungeons, ranging from low to high, included only five levels: Normal, Difficult, Nightmare, Hell, and Purgatory. But… What was this Abyss Level?
Soon, Lin Bei calmed down.
"The unique hidden mission of the Abyss Level difficulty is definitely more difficult than the Purgatory Level! It's troublesome. It's fine if it's an ordinary mission, but the key is that the penalty for this mission is a little difficult to tolerate!"
Lin Bei frowned and sighed after a while. "Forget it. Now that things have come to this, I can only take it one step at a time. The Blood Demon Prison… Should be related to the Blood Demon Mystic Realm mentioned in the introduction of the Blood Demon Token, right? As for the Divine Fragment rewarded by the mission… What is it? Sigh, it's troublesome."
Shaking his head, Lin Bei stopped thinking about this and looked at the two items in his hand.
Profession Expansion Scroll: Special item. After using it, you can expand the change of profession.
Elena's Blessing Necklace: Special Equipment, Iron-tier (Evolvable), Attributes: All attributes +1, all skill levels +1 (Cannot exceed limits). Evolution 1: Kill 100 Lord-tier Bosses. Evolution 2: Yet to be unlocked.
This special equipment… was really powerful!
Most importantly, it was a special equipment that could evolve!
Lin Bei put on the special equipment and triggered the equipment effect. At the same time, under the effect of "All Attributes +1", his luck and charm attributes increased by 1 point again. Coupled with the 1 point reward from reaching Level 20 and the first kill reward, he already had 7 points in these two aspects!
"Not bad. I wonder if there will be more attributes rewarded after the equipment evolves."
Lin Bei was looking forward to it. He directly used the Profession Expansion Scroll and looked at the two universal skill books dropped by the Boss in the end.
One was the Earth Escape Technique. After learning it, one could move underground. The other was the Transformation Technique. After using it, one could change one's appearance, attributes, and name.
They were both practical skills. Lin Bei had a lot of Potential Points now, so he learned one Level 1 of each. Under the blessing of Elena's necklace, the two skills leveled up to Level 2.
What was worth mentioning was that the universal skills he had learned previously had also increased to Level 2.
The upper limit of Health Points increased by Full of Vigor rose from 20% to 40%. The 20% bonus of Swift Movement also increased to 40%. The recovery effect of the Source of Magic Strength also increased from 1% to 2%. The range of Spell Wave increased from 10 meters to 20 meters!
Other than these, there were only a few Stone Daggers that Lin Bei liked. As for the other things, he ignored them.
"There's also a First Kill Treasure Chest!"
Lin Bei rubbed his hands and looked at his 7 points of luck. He directly opened the First Kill Treasure Chest.
"This is a King-tier First Kill Treasure Chest. I hope it doesn't disappoint me!"
First Kill Treasure Chest (King-tier) unlocked!
Congratulations on obtaining Profession Expansion Scroll x1!
Congratulations on obtaining Limit Breaking Crystals x1!
Congratulations on obtaining Potential Crystal x5!
"Another Profession Expansion Scroll! Moreover, there's a Limit Breaking Crystal!"
Lin Bei was extremely excited. This First Kill Treasure Chest was too awesome!
"This way, I can have three professions and two Limit Breaking Skills!"
Lin Bei took a deep breath and silently used the reward of the First Kill Treasure Chest.
You have used a Profession Expansion Scroll! Job change +1!
You have used the Limit Breaking Crystal! The level of the Mutated Blood has increased to Lv.6!
You have used Potential Crystals x5! Obtained Potential Points x5!
At this point, all the rewards for the first kill of the King-tier Boss had been dealt with. Although he could not wear Level 30 equipment now, his attributes had still increased significantly!

After using the Limit Breaking Crystal, the effect of his skills had also increased significantly.
Mutated Blood (Universal Skill)
Level: Lv.6 (Limit Exceeded)
Used a bottle of monster blood to mutate the target. Mutation Grade = Blood Grade.
Number of Releases: 10
Spellcasting Range: 500 meters
Cooldown: 6 hours
Consumption: 1 bottle of monster blood
"This way, as long as I have enough monster blood, I can generate at most 40 Mutated Bosses a day!"
Lin Bei was excited. This was a Mutated Boss. There was a one in a hundred thousand chance of a Mutated Boss being spawned, but he could generate 40 in a day. It would be awesome!
Most importantly, the reward pool of Mutated Bosses was much better than that of ordinary Bosses. This meant that his benefits would be greatly increased!
His skill broke through the limit, and his Mutated Blood directly cooled down. This way, he could use it directly.
There were still 13 bottles of Domain-Lord tier monster blood in his backpack. It was enough now.
"Alright, next is to open the Dungeon!"
He did not use the Strengthening Token to strengthen his equipment because he was still in the transition period. His Limit Magic Staff dealt enough damage, so it was better to keep a tool like the Strengthening Token for better equipment.
Lin Bei quickly walked to the collapsed altar. At the core was a blue crystal.
Dungeon Crystal: After use, it can create an Abandoned Magic Crystal Mine Instance Dungeon (Lv.5 to Lv.20) at a fixed location. Owner: Inner Peace. Note: The owner of the Instance Dungeon can move the location of the Instance Dungeon at will. Cooldown time: 7 days.
"This Instance Dungeon… If I want to do it solo, I'll set it up here. Moreover, this place is hidden and won't be discovered by other players."
Lin Bei did not think too much about it and set up the dungeon in front of him.
Rumble…
The surroundings changed. Soon, a brand-new abandoned mine appeared in front of him. Beside the entrance of the mine was a stone tablet that recorded the clearance information of the dungeon of various difficulties. However, no one had cleared the dungeon yet, so it was empty.
43 Rich Reward! Dungeon Opening! (3)
"Not bad. There's actually a Hell Level difficulty. It's considered a top-grade dungeon, but its level is a little low. Otherwise, it could be farmed for a long time."
Generally speaking, the difficulty levels of the dungeons in the novice village were only Normal and Difficult. The rarer ones would be of the Nightmare difficulty. The dungeon that Lin Bei owned actually had the Hell Level difficulty. This was very rare.
"When I control Azure Plume Guild in the future, I can use it to let the members of the guild level up."
Lin Bei smiled. He spent 2,000 gold coins to expand his backpack inventory space to 2,000 slots. After all, he had to keep farming monsters and did not have time to run back and forth. This way, with the initial 200 slots, he had a total of 2,200 slots. It was enough for the time being.
Please choose the difficulty of the dungeon challenge!
"Normal level."
Lin Bei directly chose the simplest Normal difficulty. This was not because his strength was not enough to challenge the dungeons of higher difficulty levels, but because he could also obtain potential points for the First Clearance of a dungeon.
To him, who would have three professions in the future, he would never have enough potential points. Therefore, he would farm as much as he could so that he would not run out of potential points when the time came. Otherwise, he could only stare at the powerful skills anxiously in the future.
Lin Bei was enveloped by a ball of white light and stepped into the mine.
At this moment, a System notification sounded in the sky above the Holy Light Village.
System Notification: The Abandoned Magic Crystal Mine Instance Dungeon (Lv.5 to Lv.20) has been opened!
The System Announcement was like a thunderclap on the ground. All the players in the Holy Light Village area were excited!
"How long has it been since the server opened? Is the Instance Dungeon already open?"
"Haha! That's great! With the Instance Dungeon in our Holy Light Village, everyone's progress will far surpass the players in the other novice villages!"
"And it's a Level 5 to 20 Instance Dungeon! This is a top-grade Instance Dungeon! I just don't know where it is. I really want to go and clear it!"
"Come on, bro. You're only Level 4. Why are you so excited now? You should hurry up and level up to Level 5!"
In an instant, many messages about the opening of Instance Dungeon in the Holy Light Village spread throughout the forum. Even the famous Combat Priest post was drowned out.
"I want the coordinates of the Holy Light Village Instance Dungeon! I'll pay!"
"Is there a big shot who can tell me the location of the Instance Dungeon? The price is negotiable!"
"Ahhhh! I want to clear the dungeon!"
Many people were posting to ask for the exact coordinates of the Instance Dungeon. Of course, more and more players spent gold coins to teleport to the Holy Light Village. These people only had one goal—the Instance Dungeon!
However, all the posts asking about the Instance Dungeon's coordinates were like stones sinking into the sea. There was no response.
All the players from the Holy Light Village were confused. They racked their brains but could not find any clues about the Instance Dungeon.
"Could it be a System bug? Our Holy Light Village doesn't have a dungeon at all?"
These questions arose in everyone's hearts.
Player Inner Peace cleared the Instance Dungeon – Abandoned Magic Crystal Mine (Normal difficulty). Time used: 2 minutes 8 seconds.
Player Inner Peace has received the reward for the First Clearance of Normal Difficulty! Potential Points +1!
"Damn! There's really a dungeon! Who is a good friend of Inner Peace? Can you ask for the coordinates of the dungeon? I'll pay 10 gold coins!"
Many people began to private chat with Lin Bei, but he was already prepared and had blocked unfamiliar messages in advance. What a joke. He was busy farming monsters to earn money. He did not have the time to care about these people.
For him, winning the agreement was the focus.
As for people accusing him?
He didn't care.
…
In a luxurious villa in Magic City, Green Collar looked depressed.
She had just received news that the Holy Light Village Instance Dungeon had already opened!
Moreover, the person who discovered the Instance Dungeon was the man she was concerned about!
"Cousin, we might be in trouble this time."
Unparalleled Plume was also extremely depressed. She could not figure out how all the good things happened to that man!
First, it was the first kill of the King-tier Boss, and now, there was the discovery of an Instance Dungeon!
Could it be that the heavens were going to make things difficult for the two of them?
"I'm not renting the villa anymore! I'll contact a realtor to sell it now!" 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Unparalleled Plume hurriedly stood up and left the room without caring about anything else.
Green Collar sighed helplessly and made a call.
"Grandpa…"
44 Hell Level? It's Just an Advanced ATM! (1)
A few minutes later, Green Collar hung up and fell silent.
She never expected that the thing she was most afraid of would happen just like that.
On the first day of the server opening, in less than half a day, that guy had obtained the King-tier First Kill and also opened the Instance Dungeon. Wasn't this too ridiculous?
Even now, her head was buzzing.
"I'm so angry!"
At this moment, Unparalleled Plume returned gloomily.
"What happened?"
"It's all about the house! Time is so tight. Unless we offer a huge discount, it's impossible to sell it!"
Unparalleled Plume's face was filled with helplessness.
"That's normal, but… it's fine if you don't sell it. We can mortgage the house first and borrow some money for urgent use."
Green Collar rubbed her eyebrows and thought of a way.
There was still a lot of room for maneuver in that agreement.
"Alright, if we mortgage our villa, we can get 200 million Ocean Blue coins no matter what! Coupled with what we prepared previously, there's a total of 250 million!"
Unparalleled Plume frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'll talk to my grandfather later and see if I can borrow some money. As for you… Forget it if you can't." 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙣𝒆𝙩
Unparalleled Plume knew that her cousin had entered Second World because she wanted to make a name for herself in the game. She would be too proud to ask her family to lend her money now.
"I've already called Grandpa. I'll go to Grandpa's house tonight."
Green Collar's voice was a little dull, but she had no choice. That man's development speed had already exceeded her expectations. She could not stake the future of the guild, so… she had to take action!
"Fortunately, there's room for maneuver. Otherwise… we'd be in trouble this time."
Green Collar thought to herself, "My cousin and I have 250 million. Coupled with the borrowed money… I should be able to gather 1 billion, right? This way, I should be able to win the agreement."
However, when she thought of her original intention, she could not help but shake her head in her heart.
"Forget it, just treat it as an early investment. When I earn money in the future, I'll repay the debt with interest."
Green Collar comforted herself in her heart. As for Unparalleled Plume, she left in a hurry after saying goodbye. She had always been like this. No one could stop her.
However, just as the two girls were busy raising funds, Lin Bei was farming monsters easily in the dungeon with a satisfied expression.
"Not bad. After clearing the dungeon once, I can get 200 pieces of Silver equipment. According to the System's evaluation, it's about 6,000 to 7,000 gold coins apiece. That's equivalent to earning 1 million gold coins every time I clear the dungeon."
Lin Bei used the System's evaluation system to calculate his gains and revealed a satisfied expression. Compared to the equipment dropped in the wild, the attributes of the equipment dropped in the Instance Dungeon were slightly inferior. However, the advantage was that there were a lot of them and they could be refreshed repeatedly. It was acceptable.
Moreover, as the difficulty of the dungeon increased, the number and level of monsters would also increase. The spoils of war would naturally increase.
"Up until now, I've had the First Clearance of the Instance Dungeon of the Normal, Difficult, and Nightmare Levels. I've obtained a total of 6 Potential Points. Coupled with the accumulation from before, I now have a total of 36 Potential Points!"
"As for my speed at clearing dungeons, it's about two minutes. Most of the time, I've been rushing. As for those dungeon monsters, I killed them in one move."
"Hmm… 30 times an hour. In that case, other than the Boss' profits, I can get 30 million Ocean Blue coins. I can farm Silver equipment worth at least 700 million Ocean Blue coins in a day!"
"And this hasn't included the Boss' benefits."
Lin Bei nodded slightly. He was quite relaxed.
"Next, let's start clearing the Hell Level Instance Dungeon."
You have chosen Hell Level difficulty!
Affected by the tainted blood, all monsters have been strengthened!
Swoosh!
Lin Bei appeared in a pitch-black cave, but he had night vision and was not affected at all.
Compared to the Nightmare Level Instance Dungeon, he clearly felt that the number of monsters in the Hell Level Instance Dungeon had increased a lot. Not only that, but these monsters had also increased to Level 20, and they were all elite monsters.
With more than 4,000 Health Points, they were equivalent to half a Level 5 Lord-tier Boss. However, to Lin Bei, such attributes were still an instant kill.
The goods were out!
At this moment, Lin Bei's eyes lit up. He looked at the ground and saw that it was a Silver equipment. However, unlike ordinary Silver equipment, the surface of this equipment was actually covered in a faint golden light.
"As expected! It's a Silver Set! My luck is not bad!"
Lin Bei smiled. The value of a set of Silver equipment was definitely not something ordinary Silver equipment could compare to. This was because a set of equipment had the attributes as a set. Once it was activated, it could increase one's strength by a level. It was definitely a top-grade equipment of the same grade!
For example, the parts of the Silver Set in Lin Bei's hand were comparable to three pieces of Silver equipment!
Lin Bei put away the equipment and continued to farm monsters.
However, the more he farmed, the more excited he became.
This was because the equipment dropped by the Hell Level Elite monsters were parts of set equipment!
This meant that as long as he continued to clear the Hell Level difficulty, his gains would triple!
Not only that, but the number of monsters had also doubled compared to the Normal Level difficulty!
In other words, he would obtain even more equipment after clearing the dungeon!
45 Hell Level? It's Just an Advanced ATM! (2)
"That's terrifying."
Lin Bei was stunned. "Shopkeeper Jin, you'll always be a god to me!"
With Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing Buff and the King-tier Boss Slaughterer Buff, Silver equipment would be dropped when he killed elite monsters now!
Originally, these two Buffs had a time limit, but under his talent bonus, they directly became permanent Buffs!
This was the huge advantage that the Unlimited Buff talent gave him!
Under normal circumstances, only Domain-Lord tier Bosses would drop Silver equipment!
Any Domain-Lord tier Boss would have at least hundreds of thousands of Health Points. For players whose average level was only Level 5, it was an insurmountable gap!
"For other players, it's indeed Hell Level difficulty! But for me… it's just a high-level ATM!"
Lin Bei activated the increase in speed effect of the White Wings and quickly ran through the space in the dungeon to farm monsters. After two minutes, he finally arrived at the final Boss!
Tainted-Blood Puppet (Lv.20, Domain-Lord tier Boss): A powerful puppet corroded by tainted blood. It has a powerful puppet cloning technique. Please be careful!
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. He originally thought that there would be a few Lord-tier Bosses to hold the line in the Hell Level stage. He did not expect a Domain-Lord tier Boss to come directly!
This was definitely a good thing for him!
When he killed a Domain-Lord tier Boss, it could drop Platinum equipment. The value of Platinum equipment was at least ten times that of Gold equipment!
Therefore, killing a Domain-Lord tier Boss was equivalent to killing ten Lord-tier Bosses!
As for the clones of the Tainted-Blood Puppet, he did not care at all. Generally speaking, the clones of the Boss would have about 10% of the main body's attributes. This Tainted-Blood Puppet was only a Level 20 Domain-Lord tier Boss, and its maximum health was less than 500,000. In other words, its clone had less than 50,000 Health Points. It could not withstand the damage of his Discipline Spell at all!
Moreover, he had the area-of-effect damage of the Spell Wave and the extremely high Magic Critical Hit to ensure his damage output efficiency.
Although it was a Level 20 Domain-Lord tier Boss, it could not last more than 10 seconds in front of Lin Bei!
Killing the Tainted-Blood Puppet was nothing to him.
Successfully killed the Tainted-Blood Puppet! You have cleared the dungeon! Time used: 2 minutes 15 seconds!
Congratulations to the player for achieving the first clearance of the Abandoned Magic Crystal Mine Instance Dungeon at Hell Level difficulty! You have obtained 4 Potential Points!
With a sweep of his hand, he collected the pile of spoils of war that the Boss had dropped and left the dungeon space.
He had already obtained all the First Clearance rewards. Next, he could focus on farming the Hell Level dungeon!
He was looking forward to what his gains would be in a day!
Of course, there was something he was helpless about. All the monsters in this Instance Dungeon had been infected by the tainted blood. Therefore, even if Lin Bei used the mutated blood to turn them into mutated Bosses, he could not extract the monster blood from them in the end. Therefore, he only tried once and gave up.
Right now, the Domain-Lord monster blood on him was really limited, so he could not waste it casually.
Moreover, the Tainted-Blood Puppet was a Domain-Lord tier Boss. Although its drops were fewer than those of a Mutated Boss, there were still a lot of benefits from killing it. It was enough to deal with the Bet Agreement!
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Lin Bei's backpack was about to be filled. Helpless, he spent another 10,000 gold coins and expanded his backpack by 10,000 slots.
To ordinary players, the 200 slots of backpack inventory space given by the System was enough. However, to Lin Bei, who was farming equipment like drinking water, not to mention 200 slots, even 20,000 slots would not be enough in the end!
"Sigh, there's no choice. Why are there so many equipment? How worrying!"
…
After an hour, all the posts on the forum were firing, and there was only one goal—Inner Peace!
All the players were furious. They were furious at his selfish actions of not telling anyone and monopolizing the dungeon!
"I'm really furious! This person is so trashy! He actually monopolized the dungeon alone. Who does he think he is?"
"Hmph, I was originally his fan, but now I hate you! What a selfish person!"
"Boohoo~ I didn't expect the deity to be such a person. He's too outrageous!"
"I want to report him for hogging public resources! His behavior has to be banned! Anyone?"
"Let's go together!"
…
At the same time, in the Jia Mei Empire, the Divine Descent Club was holding a meeting.
The video of a team ranking competition was displayed in front of everyone. It was the competition where Lin Bei and the others crushed their opponents.
"All of you have seen the video. What do all of you think? Tell me."
"Tsk tsk, this Priest is quite interesting. His healing capacity is not low! However… it's just a low-end game. There's really no reference value. Their opponent's lineup clearly restrained them, but their opponents still lost. It's really painful to the eye!"
"That's right. Their focus-fire awareness is too weak. And that Archer called Forest Wood, did he hire someone to play for him in the past? He actually charged at 20 people alone. This kind of operation looks like a Silver-tier player's."
"Forget it. It's already not bad if he's Bronze."
Everyone smiled, not taking this competition seriously at all.
Apollo, who had been silent all this while, frowned and suddenly said, "This Priest is not bad. I underestimated him previously. His positioning and healing awareness are just right! We can try to invite him to our second team for a training test!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the team members fell silent.
They looked at Apollo and hesitated.
"Yes, I have the same thoughts as you. But… isn't it a little rash to invite him to our second team? The strength of our second team is enough to compete with WWL upper-tier teams! He's a newbie. Even if he's talented, he's only qualified to go to the third team, right?" 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Coach Charles frowned and spoke.
"It doesn't matter. Besides… he might not come."
Apollo shrugged and quickly stopped harping on this topic. Instead, he asked, "By the way, how's the matter I entrusted you to carry out? The time limit for the mission is almost up. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to get that Diamond-grade weapon."
"Hehe, don't worry. I've already recruited people from the ten major guilds to help. We've already negotiated the fee. In a week at most, we'll definitely be able to obtain that Diamond-grade weapon!"
"Okay, I'll go train first."
Apollo nodded and left the conference room.
As for whether that Priest would come for the training test, he did not care at all. That guy was just a talented kid. If he was given a few years, he might grow up, but now… it was not enough!
…
The same scene meant different things in the eyes of the Nine Heavens team.
"Is this the Combat Priest you're talking about? He is good! I love it, I love it. No, I have to think of a way to contact him and pull him into our team! With such a healer position and my new level-S talent, crushing Apollo is just around the corner!"
Chen Changsheng looked at Lin Bei's actions in the video and his eyes lit up. He quickly went online and added him as a friend.
…
Lin Bei, who was leveling up, suddenly heard a System notification.
Player Cao Fei Apollo wants to add you as a friend! Do you accept it?
Lin Bei was speechless.
46 Who's Sure to Win?
"This name… is very cool."
Lin Bei smiled and accepted the friend request.
"Bro, do you want to train with our team?"
As soon as he accepted him as a friend, Lin Bei received a message.
"Not interested."
Lin Bei casually dealt with a group of tainted-blood miners and walked deeper into the dungeon.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse! We're from the Nine Heavens team. If you come, you can directly go to our second team. If your performance is not bad, you can directly play for the team in real matches!"
"Hm? Nine Heavens team?"
Lin Bei was stunned when he heard this. He took a closer look at this person's ID and asked in surprise, "Brother, you're not the Longevity Sword of the Nine Heavens team, are you?" 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Damn? How did you find out?"
On the other side, Nine Heavens was dumbfounded. Only his club members knew his account on the new server. How did this kid figure out?
Lin Bei was stunned. It was indeed him.
As for how he guessed it?
Because he beat the man to it and took over the ID the man used in their previous life!
Moreover, at this time, regarding the professional player who had a deep hatred for Apollo, and was also from the Nine Heavens team, who else could it be other than you, the "always second-the-best"?
However, it was really fate that they had added each other as friends so early.
"Let's not talk about how I found out. On the other hand, it's not that simple for you to crush Apollo."
Lin Bei said with a smile.
In his previous life, the Longevity Sword had level-SSS talent and successfully defeated Apollo. However, in this life… It was hard to say.
"Dude, what are you talking about?"
Chen Changsheng was enraged. How was he inferior to Apollo?
"How about this? I won't join your team, but if you want to become stronger, you can consider joining the Azure Plume Guild. I'll teach you PK skills when I'm free. Don't worry, it's free."
"Damn? So arrogant?"
Chen Changsheng was numb. Damn it, what kind of tricks did this kid have? He actually dared to teach him PK techniques? Was he drunk? Even if he was defeated by Apollo, he was still one of the top three contestants in the current Alliance!
You? You want to guide me?
Are you kidding me?
Still…
Azure Plume, right?
Alright, I'll wait for you!
You want to guide me, right? When the time comes, I'll let you see what true hell is!
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth curled up as he closed the chat window. When he said that he wanted to teach Chen Changsheng, he was not joking.
The technology and experience he had now came from ten years later. Be it skills, tactics, or the understanding of the game, other players could not compare to him at this stage. Even top WWL professional players could not!
"I can consider pulling him into my team. Coincidentally, I have a few level-S talents that are suitable for him. Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes."
Lin Bei smiled and stopped thinking about this. Instead, he composed himself and continued to farm the dungeon efficiently.
However, after farming for so long, his level did not increase.
This was because he had not completed his professional advancement, so the upper limit of his level was only Level 20. He could not break through, so he could only store his experience points. When he completed his profession advancement in the future, he could continue to use these experience points to level up.
Of course, the experience stored was limited. He could only store nine levels of experience at most.
But even so, this was good news for Lin Bei.
After all, the Hell Level monsters were all Level 20. If he leveled up, his EXP gained would be reduced. However, after being stuck to Level 20, no matter how long he farmed, he would not get the EXP penalty. This way, the EXP reward would be the greatest.
Lin Bei did not sleep or eat. He farmed all the way. When there was not enough space in his backpack, he would spend gold coins to expand it.
In the blink of an eye, a night passed.
There were only eight hours left until the deadline of the agreement!
At this moment, in a luxurious villa in Magic City, Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume sat together with extremely excited expressions.
"Let's talk about the gains. On my side, I used coaxing and pestering to borrow 500 million from your grandfather! What about you?"
"It's about the same on my side. I also borrowed 600 million from Grandpa, but it's already the limit."
Green Collar had a faint smile on her face. "Moreover, we've borrowed 250 million by mortgaging our villa. Coupled with the 50 million, we've already raised a total of 1.4 billion Ocean Blue coins!"
"Haha! That's great! 1.4 billion! That's almost equivalent to 10 million gold coins! No matter how powerful that man is, he can't earn so much!"
Unparalleled Plume said excitedly.
"Yes, that's right! However, there are still eight hours left. To be safe, let's mortgage the car. Anyway, if we win the agreement, all of those can be returned. There's no need to worry."
Green Collar suggested.
"Alright! Let's do that! Anyway, there are only eight hours left! We must suppress him tightly! Hmph, we're safe this time!"
Unparalleled Plume was overjoyed.
Although she was the president of the Inner Peace Fan Club, it was simply cool to be able to sign with her idol!
…
Lin Bei had a helpless expression. In the end, he still returned to the Holy Light Village. As for the reason, it was because his backpack was full!
He did not expect that there was a limit to the number of slots in his backpack. His current backpack had a total of 100,000 slots, and the System had already notified that he could not continue to expand.
Therefore, he had no choice but to return to the Holy Light Village. He opened the warehouse and stored all the equipment from his backpack into it.
In Second World, the warehouse's storage capacity was 20 times that of his backpack space. In other words, he now had 2 million storage slots, which was more than enough to store these 100,000 pieces of equipment.
Among these 100,000 pieces of equipment, there were about 95,000 Silver equipment, 4,000 Gold equipment, and 1,000 Platinum equipment.
Almost all of the pieces of Silver equipment were Level 10 to 20 Silver Sets. According to the price of 100 gold coins per piece, they were worth 9.5 million gold coins combined. According to the ratio of 1:150, it was more than 1.4 billion Ocean Blue coins!
And this was only the gains of Silver equipment!
Apart from that, he still had eight hours to farm equipment!
Eight hours was enough for him to farm more than 40,000 Silver Sets!
Together, the Silver equipment gains alone exceeded 2 billion!
Of course, these were only the value of the equipment. It was almost impossible for a guild to pay for them.
"Is 2 billion enough?"
Lin Bei frowned slightly. He was not sure.
He knew Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume's real identities. In his previous life, the two women had appeared a lot. Behind each of them was a family with a market value of tens of billions. It was not impossible for them to take out two billion!
"It's not safe enough. I'll continue farming. If it really doesn't work, I'll use Gold and Platinum equipment to make up the numbers. If it still doesn't work, I'll use the Diamond and Obsidian grades! I have many trump cards now. I don't believe that they can farm better than me."
After Lin Bei stored the equipment in the warehouse, he hurriedly left the Holy Light Village.
He had used the Transformation Technique to change his appearance and name, so he did not have to worry about other players discovering him.
Now was the time to race against time. He did not have the energy to argue with those moral kidnappers. He was determined to get the Azure Plume Guild!
In my previous life, I could reach the top ten guilds without relying on family resources. In this life, with my experience and help, I will definitely be able to rank first!
If he really did this, most of the resources in the entire Second World would be in his hands. He would not have to continue farming equipment to earn money like now. Wouldn't it be better to lie down and earn money?
"It's time to treat my sister's illness!"
Lin Bei's gaze was firm.
100 million for treatment was no longer out of his reach!
After winning the agreement, he planned to let his sister, Lin Jing, stay in the best hospital in Magic City for treatment!
When that time came, together with their parents, their family could finally live a stable life!
47 Ahem, There's One More Thing…
"It's time. See you in the Holy Light Village."
Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume went online. After sending a message to Lin Bei, they were the first to arrive near the warehouse.
The two girls were confident in winning the Bet Agreement.
They had raised 1.45 billion Ocean Blue coins within one short day. No matter how powerful that man was, no matter how much he could farm, how many Bronze and Silver equipment could he obtain?
"You guys are on time."
Soon, Lin Bei's figure appeared near the warehouse. However, the two girls looked in front of them and frowned slightly.
Who was this?
Why did he look so shifty?
"It's me."
Lin Bei was helpless and could only send a private message.
He did not want to complicate matters. Otherwise, with the accumulated anger of the players of the Holy Light Village, they would probably swarm forward the moment they discovered him.
Although he was not afraid, he did not want to be embroiled in trouble.
"Pfft, so it's you. Why do you look like this?"
"Sigh, I have no choice. I'm hated by everyone now."
Lin Bei shrugged and said, "Alright, let's not talk nonsense. Let's look at our respective gains."
"Alright, but I have to say this first. Don't be taken aback!"
Unparalleled Plume smiled meaningfully.
"Not to that extent. At most, I'll sell myself. What else can I do?"
Lin Bei spoke casually.
"Haha, I'm relieved to see you have such a mentality! Look carefully!"
Unparalleled Plume smiled and announced with Green Collar the balances in the accounts.
Green Collar, account balance: 750 million Ocean Blue coins.
Unparalleled Plume, account balance: 700 million Ocean Blue coins.
In total, it was 1.45 billion Ocean Blue coins.
Lin Bei looked at the account balances excitedly displayed by the two girls. He was stunned.
Damn, I miscalculated.
He originally thought that these two could gather two to three billion, but in the end… that was all?
To think that he prepared a pile of Gold and Platinum equipment in advance. Now, it seemed like… there's no need at all!
However, his daze made the two women even more smug.
Haha, are you dumbfounded?
Did they think that we could take out 100 to 200 million at most?
How is that possible!
This concerns Azure Plume's future!
After a day of hard work, they finally gathered 1.45 billion. It seemed that winning the agreement was not unexpected.
"Ahem, we don't have any other intent. We just want you to join our Azure Plume Guild. This way, everyone will work together. With your skills and our financial resources, our Azure Plume Guild will definitely be able to go further!"
Unparalleled Plume saw that Lin Bei was still in a daze and thought that he was unwilling to accept this outcome. She quickly explained, "Also, we've already discussed the shares in advance. No matter if you win or lose, we're willing to give you 5 to 20% of the shares. However, how much you can get depends on your gains this time. But don't worry, we won't take advantage of you."
Lin Bei came back to his senses and looked at the two nervous girls. He could not help but smile and say, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."
The two women secretly heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"Alright, I won't say anything else. Take a look at these Silver equipment yourself."
Lin Bei walked to the warehouse with a smile and threw the high-grade equipment he was originally carrying into the warehouse. He took out a backpack full of 100,000 Silver Sets and used the System's value assessment system to send the two girls a huge screenshot.
100,000 Silver Sets. Value Assessment: 10 million gold coins.
The air suddenly fell silent, and one could hear a pin drop.
Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume looked at the Silver equipment and fainted.
"A… a hundred thousand? And they are Silver Sets? How is that possible?!"
Green Collar took a deep breath and muttered.
As for Unparalleled Plume, she was already stunned and could not say a word.
"It's authentic. 100,000 pieces, 10,000,000 gold coins, worth 1.5 billion Ocean Blue coins. I won."
Lin Bei smiled faintly. He was not surprised by their reactions. After all, if it were anyone else, their reactions might not be as good as the girls'.
However, this was the truth. He had won. They had no choice but to admit defeat!
"Well… the price of the Gold Coin System fluctuates. Under normal circumstances, gold coins will gradually depreciate and eventually stabilize at the price of 100 Ocean Blue coins. Therefore… if we calculate Ocean Blue coins, it's more appropriate to go with 1:100."
Green Collar panted, her face red. She braced herself and argued.
This was 67% of the entire Azure Plume Guild's shares!
How could she bear to give it up just like that?
Therefore, she still wanted to make one last struggle!
"According to the rate of 1:100, your equipment is only… is only worth 1 billion Ocean Blue coins. So… so we still won!"
After saying the last sentence, Green Collar seemed to have lost her last bit of strength and sat weakly on the ground.
She did not want to do this either, but… she had no choice!
Seeing this, Lin Bei smiled and was not angry. Instead, he opened the warehouse and took a few photos. He continued to send them to Green Collar and said with a smile, "Alright, then we'll do it according to your 1:100. I still have 50,000 Silver Sets here. A total of 500 million Ocean Blue coins. Coupled with the previous 1 billion, it's worth 1.5 billion."
"In addition, I still have more than a thousand pieces of Gold equipment. There's no need to count them, right?"
Green Collar: …
Unparalleled Plume: …
Lin Bei did not care about the two girls who were completely stunned. He said, "If not, I still have hundreds of Platinum equipment here. How is it? Is it enough? If not, I still have more."
"You… you won."
Green Collar lowered her head in a daze.
"Alright, then sign the agreement."
"… Okay."
The two girls looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. However, this Bet Agreement was established under the supervision of the Second World system. It could not be faked. Now, they could only admit defeat. Otherwise, they would be imprisoned.
"Haha, don't be sad. Don't you still have 33% of the shares? Moreover… With this batch of equipment, if we quickly recruit people to expand your strength, we can quickly build the number one guild of the entire Heavenly Might Server!"
Lin Bei smiled and patted the two girls on the shoulder. "Don't forget, I still have an Instance Dungeon. When the time comes, if I let the guild members level up in the Instance Dungeon, their development speed will definitely be very fast. At that time, after accumulating the early advantage, won't it be easy to obtain resources from the Heavenly Might Server?"
"Therefore, although your shares are less, you will actually earn more!"
The two women were stunned and looked at each other.
It seemed like… that was really the case?
Other than them not being able to control Azure Plume, the entire guild's future would be bright!
"That Instance Dungeon…"
"Oh, this thing was not included in the previous Bet Agreement."
Lin Bei smiled and said, "I only discovered this after spending a lot of effort to kill the King-tier Boss. If you want to open it to the guild, you have to pay a price. How about this? I won't scam you. I'll take 3% of your shares. If you agree, sign it. I'll immediately release the access to the dungeon to all the players in Azure Plume!"
"You… Why are you so stingy!"
Even Green Collar could not help but complain.
She was a little tired. This man had already taken away 67% of Azure Plume's shares. Why was he still thinking about the remaining shares?
But if they do not have the Instance Dungeon…
"You're now Azure Plume Guild's big boss. This is a guild under your name. Can't you contribute this?"
Unparalleled Plume curled her lips.
"Didn't I already offer it? However, even biological brothers have to settle accounts clearly. This guild doesn't belong to me alone now. I certainly have to settle things with you two shareholders. Of course, if you're willing to give up your shares and give them all to me, I can grant you access to the Instance Dungeon for free!"
Lin Bei said with a smile.
"…"
Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume were extremely tired. Alright, they were completely convinced. This man was really stubborn.
Alright, let's give him 3% of the shares. Anyway, he already has 67% of the shares and has absolute control over Azure Plume. Taking another 3% will not make a difference.
The two women were already calm.
Seeing this, Lin Bei smiled and signed the share transfer agreement with the two women.
70%!
However… it was not over yet!
Lin Bei directly released the access to the Instance Dungeon to the members of the Azure Plume Guild. After the two girls saw the level of the Instance Dungeon, the dissatisfaction in their hearts gradually subsided.
Fortunately, this Instance Dungeon was enough for the players of the guild to use from Level 5 to Level 20! The key was that no one else had the authority to enter!
This way, their guild would be far ahead!
3% of shares in exchange for this dungeon. It was not a loss!
"Ahem, there's one last thing…"
Seeing that the two girls had regained their calm, Lin Bei coughed and took out a colorful crystal from his backpack. "This is a Territory Crystal. After using it, you can choose an area to use as the guild's territory. As for how useful it is, I won't say much. It's a fixed price. 10% shares. If you find it acceptable, we'll make a deal."
Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume trembled. They gritted their teeth and glared at Lin Bei. In the end, they signed the share transfer agreement helplessly.
If they could get their own territory first, Azure Plume Guild would be able to obtain a huge advantage. They would be able to open a shop and have their own NPC army. From there, they would be able to continue to increase their strength faster and be far ahead of the other guilds!
Therefore, the two of them could only compromise.
The smile on Lin Bei's face became even brighter. This way, he would have 80% of Azure Plume's shares!
Continue, continue!
"Ahem, there's one last thing…"
Lin Bei smiled brightly and coughed. He sent a screenshot. It was one of the two life-type level-SS talents he had obtained from applying for an account.
Magic Medicine Field: Level-SS talent. The growth speed of all the medicinal fields under your name will increase by 10 times.
"Level SS Life-type talent, 10 times growth speed of medicinal fields. After possessing it, the future profits of the guild will soar by several times. The price is 10% shares. The two of you can discuss if you want to buy it or not."
Lin Bei smiled at Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume as if he was looking at two fat lambs waiting to be slaughtered. He was confident.
Green Collar: (→д→;)
Unparalleled Feather: ∑(⊙°Д°;)⊙
Lin Bei was waiting.
48 Controlling Azure Plume!
In the end, as expected, Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume signed the share transfer agreement.
Lin Bei smiled brightly. This way, he would have 90% of Azure Plume's shares!
He did not choose to continue exploiting the two sisters. If he continued, he was worried that the two of them would flee. At that time, he would be a commander without supporters. He was not familiar with the management and operations of the guild.
In his previous life, he was only a lone wolf.
Otherwise, he would not have been in such a miserable state.
!
"Alright, stop frowning. 10% is not a small amount."
As Lin Bei spoke, he gave them another level-SS life-type talent.
Extraordinary Alchemy: Level-SS talent, 3 times the success rate of alchemy, 5 times the output of alchemy.
"Stop glaring. This is free. There's no charge."
Lin Bei shrugged and said, "With this Extraordinary Alchemy and Magic Medicine Field, it will be much easier for the guild to develop. Next, we have to establish a territory and rope in a large number of players."
"However, don't be anxious about the territory. Wait for me to make a trip to the main city and complete my profession advancement. What you need to do now is recruit people to pull up the guild's core strength."
Lin Bei said, "When we establish our territory, if we can't even defeat the invasion of monsters, that would be unlucky."
"Alright, we'll get into action."
Green Collar said in a low voice, "By the way, I also plan to establish the Azure Plume Group in reality and manage the members. I'll pay their salaries and get our guild to enter the commercialization stage as soon as possible. In addition, I also plan to establish a professional team when the guild develops to a certain extent to increase the popularity of the company and the guild."
"Alright, you can do as you see fit. However… hurry up with the professional team thing. We want to participate in this year's Challenger League."
"Ah? Challenger League? But… I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time, right?"
Green Collar frowned and said, "Moreover, the registration deadline is in three days. As for the competition, it will start in ten days, but we don't even have a team!"
"It's fine. You're in charge of getting people. Leave the training to me."
Lin Bei waved his hand and said, "By the way, do you see a player called Cao Fei Apollo applying to join the guild?"
"Ah… yes, yes."
"Alright, pull him into the guild."
"But this nickname… I'm afraid he's going to be trouble."
"It's fine. I'll deal with him!"
Lin Bei said with a smile.
Player Cao Fei Apollo has joined the guild!
—Guild Channel—
Cao Fei Apollo: "Come on, I've joined the guild. Where's that Priest? Didn't you want to teach me how to play games for free? I'll wait for you!"
Little Rascal: "Who is this? Idiot, right?"
Shallow: "That's right, that's right. One look at his name and you can tell that he's a fool."
Turkey-Flavor Rice Crust: "Brother, you've just joined the guild. Keep a low profile so that you won't get beaten up."
…
—-|—-
Green Collar smiled bitterly and sent a screenshot of the guild channel to Lin Bei.
Lin Bei smiled. "Pull me into the guild."
Player Inner Peace has joined the guild!
Player Inner Peace has been promoted to guild leader, and Green Collar has been demoted to vice guild leader!
Two consecutive Guild notifications stunned all the players in Azure Plume Guild.
What the f*ck? Deity has joined our guild?
Wait! The Deity had become the guild leader?!
Damn, can someone tell me what's going on!
Green Collar: "Everyone, don't panic. In fact, Deity has always been a member of our guild. He's just back now. Otherwise, where do you think our guild got so much equipment? It was all given by Deity."
Turkey-flavored Rice Crust: "Damn, Deity is awesome! Azure Plume Guild Master, since you are one of us, can we go to the dungeon?"
Green Collar: "That's right. All members of the Azure Plume Guild can go!"
Little Rascal: "Wow! That's great! Deity, I love you!"
Shallow: "Hehe, we can finally clear the dungeon, good!"
Cao Fei Apollo: "D*mn your dungeon. Don't think that just because you're the guild leader, I won't dare to bite you. If you're a man, come and PK with me!"
Lin Bei chuckled. "Come to the Holy Light Village and I'll teach you a lesson! The coordinates…
Soon, the guild channel became lively. Firstly, it was because everyone could finally go and clear the Instance Dungeon they had been longing for. Secondly, it was because the Deity guild leader was going to PK!
Not long after, on the square of the Holy Light Village, a white light lit up. A tall young man covered in Bronze equipment and carrying a wolf fang club appeared and walked towards the warehouse.
When he saw Lin Bei, the corners of his mouth curled up into a playful smile.
Later, I'll beat you up until you find your teeth all over the ground!
Lin Bei, who was talking to Green Collar, felt a fiery gaze. He turned around and his eyes lit up.
"You're here? Let's fight."
Lin Bei did not waste any time and directly applied for a spar.
Player Inner Peace has requested to spar with you. Do you accept it?
"Accept!"
Chen Changsheng grinned, and then his entire body instantly darted out like a cheetah. In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared not far from Lin Bei. He brandished the big wolf fang club in his hand and smashed it towards Lin Bei's temple.
I've tolerated you for a long time!
You actually looked down on me and even threatened to teach me?
I'll make you die an ugly death!
The surrounding guild members who had rushed over in advance were dumbfounded.
Damn, this speed and angle of attack were simply perfect!
What was going on with this "Cao Fei Apollo"? Looking at his skill level, he was a big shot!
Turkey-flavored Rice Crust licked his lips. "Damn, to think I just told him to keep a low profile so that he wouldn't be beaten up. With this strength… I have to say, just him alone can fight ten of me."
The Priest girl named Shallow nodded. "This person is so powerful. Will Deity be in danger?"
"Look! Deity's maneuvers!"
Suddenly, the Warrior called Little Rascal exclaimed.
Everyone looked over and was stunned.
Had he blocked it just like that?
In the arena, Lin Bei was calm. He waved the Magic Staff in his hand and blocked the attack of the big club. At the same time, a light flashed at the top of the Magic Staff, and a holy light descended from the sky and landed on Cao Fei Apollo.
Discipline Spell!
Ding! (Spell Block!)
-4,879!
Cao Fei Apollo blacked out and fell to the ground.
Damn, I blocked it! I still died!
What kind of damage was this?
Chen Changsheng was depressed. He glanced at the battle statistics and felt numb.
Spell Block was similar to Physical Block. Both were high-level operations that reduced damage by blocking. However, compared to Physical Block, the operation of Magic Block was more difficult!
This was because not only did this require him to be very familiar with the attack method of each skill, but he also had to consider the angle and timing of the spell attack. Most importantly, he had to grasp the force of the block well. Otherwise, even if he blocked it, his poor control of the force would make the spell explode, causing the block to fail and making him suffer higher damage.
Therefore, in Second World, Spell Block was a way to differentiate between first-rate players and top players.
"Damn, am I seeing things? That Cao Fei Apollo just blocked the Discipline Spell?"
"You didn't see wrongly! He blocked it! But isn't the Deity's damage too high? Even though his damage was reduced by 90%, he still insta-killed him! How terrifying!"
"Who is this newbie? He actually used a Spell Block! Damn, this is the level of operation of a big shot in the top 500, right? Was he just lucky?"
"Bullsh*t! Haven't you seen the video of Apollo's Spell Block teaching? This Spell Block is different from Physical Block. It emphasizes the perfect combination of timing, angle, and strength! All three are indispensable. Even if he is lucky, if he doesn't control his strength well, it will only cause the spell to explode, and the consequences will be even worse!"
"Damn, according to what you said, this kid really has the skill level of the top 500? The key is that even if he's so awesome, he was still insta-killed by the Deity Guild Master! Damn, is our Azure Plume going to take off?"
The surrounding spectators were dumbfounded.
Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume looked at each other, their hearts already in turmoil.
They never expected this newcomer to be so powerful!
No wonder Deity specifically asked them to pull him into the guild. He's indeed very strong!
But… wasn't Deity too powerful?
The other party had even used a Spell Block, but he was insta-killed just like that?
How high was the damage?
"Damn! You…"
After exiting the sparring mode, Chen Changsheng quickly crawled up from the ground and pointed at Lin Bei, so angry that he could not speak.
He wanted to say that the other party had only relied on his equipment to insta-kill him, but… he really could not say it. In Second World, talent, skills, level, and equipment were all an indispensable part of measuring a person's strength.
Although he was crushed by equipment, equipment was also part of strength.
"Why? Are you still not convinced? Alright, let's fight again, lest you say that I'm bullying you with my equipment."
Lin Bei smiled and took off his equipment, leaving only a pair of white boxers. "I'm not wearing any equipment. What if you lose again?"
"I'll lose? Do you believe it?"
Chen Changsheng coldly smiled. Previously, the other party's equipment had crushed him, so he had nothing to say, but now… the other party no longer had the advantage of equipment. In his eyes, that guy was not worth mentioning at all!
"Five seconds!"
"What five seconds? You're so fast?"
"Damn it! I'm saying that I can finish you off in five seconds at most!"
Chen Changsheng cursed angrily and immediately activated the sparring mode. His figure was like lightning, and his wolf fang club carried the power of thunder as it smashed towards Lin Bei's head!
He was furious. This time, he did not hide anymore and directly used his innate ability!
World Destruction: Level-S talent, Destruction Lightning added to attack. Next attack ignores defense, and the critical hit rate is 100%. Cooldown: 2 seconds. Passive: 5 times critical hit damage.
Hmph, so what if you're Level 20?
My attack ignores defense. Why don't you lie down!
49 Brother, Do You Want to Bet? (1)
At this moment, Chen Changsheng was filled with confidence. He has a level-S talent, and it was a full critical attack that ignored defense!
This was equivalent to him directly triggering the same effect as a Fatal Critical Hit with a casual strike.
Fatal Critical Hit was a more terrifying effect than Critical Weakness Hit. It could directly ignore defense and cause critical damage to the enemy!
However, for top players, it was very difficult to do this!
This was because not only did it require him to hit the enemy's fatal weakness, but it also had very harsh requirements for the angle and strength of the attack. Moreover, it often did not leave any room for maneuver. If he missed, he might fall into a dangerous situation.
!
However, with this level-S talent, he did not have to worry about this. Every two seconds, he could steadily trigger an effect equivalent to a "Fatal Critical Hit". Moreover, not only the normal attack, but the skill could also take effect!
It had to be known that it was ten times more difficult to use a skill to produce a "Fatal Critical Hit" effect than ordinary attacks!
The difference between them was like a Spell Block and a Physical Block. It was very different.
Of course, this was not the most important thing!
What gave Chen Changsheng the confidence to win was the passive effect of his level-S talent—five times critical damage!
Five times critical hit was equivalent to ten times ordinary damage!
Coupled with the explosive effect of his talent ignoring defense, his damage output would be extremely terrifying!
"Hmph, he's only Level 20. Without top-grade equipment, what right does he have to receive my full-strength attack?"
Chen Changsheng laughed coldly in his heart. He smashed down with his club, bringing with it the power of Destruction Lightning as he pressed forward!
"Interesting."
Lin Bei laughed when he saw this. His eyes narrowed. Under everyone's incredulous gazes, he did not retreat but advanced. He grabbed the wolf fang club that was smashing down from the sky with his bare hands.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng's eyes lit up, and his hands moved even faster.
Do you want to block my attack with your bare hands?
Do you think I wouldn't have prepared for this?
Under normal circumstances, for an existence at his level, he could make a slight adjustment in his attack angle and speed. This would cause trouble for the opponent who wanted to block him. If the other party could not react quickly and change his move, he would fall into a passive position and take a blow for nothing!
Therefore, in the arena of top professionals, unless necessary, they usually focused on dodging instead of blocking and acting cool!
Did this kid think that my level of operation in the top three of the Alliance was a joke? 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑜𝘳𝘨
Do you actually want to block my attack with your bare hands?
I can only say… Silly baby!
On the other hand, when Lin Bei saw Chen Changsheng change his move, he was not shocked but delighted.
This was the standard of a top professional player!
Not bad, not bad. If he could pull him into his team, it would definitely increase the strength of the entire team!
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth curled up. He was already calculating how to dig a hole for Chen Changsheng.
As for dealing with the change in moves?
He had plenty of ways!
The moment the other party changed his move, he reacted.
He retracted his leg and squatted down!
It was so fast that Chen Changsheng was momentarily unable to react or retract his attack in time.
BOOM!
The wolf fang club passed Lin Bei's shoulder and smashed into the ground. For a moment, dust flew everywhere.
"He dodged it?"
Chen Changsheng's pupils shook. It had to be known that under his rapid change of moves, dodging was several times more difficult than continuing to change moves to block!
Although his level was not high, his attributes were very poor, and his speed was a little slow… The other party was naked!
Although he understood this operation… he knew that he could not do it!
If he went on his main account, of course he could, but the problem was… the other party was only Level 20, and he was nude. Even if he could do it with his main Level-89 account, so what?
It was completely trivial!
"Damn, this dust even blocked my vision. Damn it…"
His surroundings were covered in flying dust. It was all his "masterpiece".
By the time he reacted, it was too late.
"Thousand-Year Kill!"
A faint laugh rang out, and Chen Changsheng felt a chill run down his back. His anus tightened, and he was sent flying.
-2,588! (Fatal Critical Hit)
His vision went black, and Chen Changsheng fell to the ground again.
"How do you feel? Does it feel good?"
After exiting the sparring mode, Lin Bei clapped his hands and changed back into his equipment. He smiled at Chen Changsheng.
"How did you do it?"
Chen Changsheng climbed up, his face covered in dust, his expression gloomy.
"Do you want to learn? I'll teach you."
Lin Bei smiled brightly.
"Hmph."
Chen Changsheng coldly snorted and turned to leave.
"You want to beat Apollo with this? It's still ten years away."
Lin Bei smiled faintly and said, "What I just did, Apollo can definitely do it. But you… I don't think so."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Changsheng turned to look at Lin Bei, his eyes cold.
"Exactly what I said. Looking at how confident you were just now, you should have a good talent in the new server. Let me guess, it should be level-S, right? But you're too naive. Do you really think you can defeat Apollo with a level-S talent?"
Lin Bei shook his head and said, "If you really think that way, you're definitely dead. Apollo… How should I put it? Although this person is very conceited, his operating skills are still very good. Not to mention just you alone, even if two of you attack together, the outcome will still be a loss!"
"Don't look at how you two fought back and forth previously. Actually, he hid it very well. Even if you have a level-S talent, you'll most likely be courting death."
50 Brother, Do You Want to Bet? (2)
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Chen Changsheng's expression was gloomy.
He did not believe it.
This kid… was definitely messing with his mentality!
"Don't doubt me. You saw what I just did, right?"
Lin Bei smiled and said, "What if I say that this is a positioning technique I learned from Apollo? What do you think your chances of winning are if he uses it himself?"
Chen Changsheng's pupils constricted and his heart chilled.
If that was the case…
"That's why confidence is a good thing. Don't be conceited. Apollo might be awesome now and invincible in the Alliance, but if this continues, he will die a tragic death."
Lin Bei sighed.
All of this was based on experience. In his previous life, although Apollo was once glorious, when he fell from the altar, it was also a tragic sight.
"Stay in Azure Plume. I can guide you. It's free."
As Lin Bei spoke, he looked at the hesitant Chen Changsheng.
He was not in a hurry. As long as the other party wanted to defeat Apollo, he would definitely choose to stay!
As expected, Chen Changsheng only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"Alright, I'll join Azure Plume, but… I'll leave after I defeat you! You'd better not lose!"
"Don't worry. Even if you and Apollo attack together, I won't lose."
Lin Bei waved his hand and finally gave Chen Changsheng a Level 10 Silver Set. "This is for you. Develop well. I have high hopes for you!" 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠
"By the way, I plan to establish a team. Are you interested?"
"Heh, are you joking? Go to your team? NWL? Stop fooling around!"
"Don't say that. Isn't there a Challenger League every year? Even if you play in NWL, you might win consecutively and rush into WWL."
"Hmph, I admit that you're not weak, but do you think it's so easy to enter WWL?"
Chen Changsheng indifferently said, "In these past few years, only one team has advanced to WWL through the Challenger League! Moreover, the only team that has advanced is a top team from SWL! As for the NWL you mentioned, it's already not bad if you can advance to the second round. Do you want to advance to WWL? Dream on!"
"Hehe, don't say that. With me around, everything is possible."
"I don't believe it!"
"Why don't we make a bet?"
Lin Bei smiled and said, "If I can lead the team into WWL, you join our team. How about that?"
"What if you can't?"
"Simple. Didn't you try to pull me in previously? When the time comes, I'll join your team!"
"Hmph, joining our team is a good thing for you. It's not a punishment. How about this? If you lose, I don't want anything else, except that you transfer 51% of Azure Plume's shares to me."
Chen Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
Although he had just joined Azure Plume Guild, he was very optimistic about Azure Plume's future development. He glanced at the surrounding guild members. Their equipment was at least Bronze Equipment, and there were many players wearing Silver Equipment. Such strength could definitely be considered powerful in Heavenly Might, which had just opened.
Moreover, this was only the tip of the iceberg. With the exclusive dungeon, as long as everything went smoothly, he felt that Azure Plume would definitely be able to occupy a place in the entire Heavenly Might!
At that time, the benefits of the entire guild would be unimaginable!
"Hmph, you wish."
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while before saying, "51% is not impossible, but… your stakes are too small. It's not appropriate. How about this? If I win, you have to come to our guild to sign a lifelong contract and… work for ten years for nothing. If you agree, let's bet!"
"So be it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng curled his lips. Did he really think that it was so easy to enter WWL?
Moreover, there were less than ten days left until the Challenger League. Even if you could create a team, would you have time to train?
So what if he was strong?
A professional arena was not a one-man arena!
It was a team arena!
Tactics, command, coordination, and maneuvering were all indispensable!
If he really thought it was that simple, wouldn't anyone be able to play professionally?
I can only say that you're thinking too simply!
You actually spoke arrogantly and wanted to enter SWL through NWL?
Dream on!
However, just as Lin Bei took out the Bet Agreement, Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume who were on the side could not help but shiver.
They glanced at the indifferent Lin Bei, then at Chen Changsheng, who was grinning from ear to ear. They shook their heads and sighed.
Sigh, he was still young.
He had fallen into a trap.
They could not help but think of the scene when they signed the Bet Agreement with Lin Bei and felt helpless.
Although they did not think that Lin Bei had the ability to bring a new NWL team to the WWL arena, for some reason, when they thought of how they had lost the Bet Agreement, they felt a chill run down their spines.
They did not think that Lin Bei was the kind of person who would dig a hole for himself. Since he dared to sign an agreement like this, he must have full confidence.
However… wasn't it too ridiculous for someone from NWL to advance to WWL?
One had to know that even the most powerful NWL team was useless against a CWL team. Moreover, there was SWL above CWL. Above SWL then was WWL!
Could he really do it?
For some reason, the two girls could not help but look forward to it.
If he really did it, it would be a huge opportunity for the team and the entire Azure Plume Guild!
…
After digging a hole for Chen Changsheng, Lin Bei left in satisfaction.
He still had many things to do now. For example, he had to treat his sister's illness as soon as possible. For example, he was now Level 20. It was time for him to consider advancing his profession. Also, he had to consider the additional change in professions he had gained from the Profession Expansion Scroll. He also planned to take a look at the Blood Demon Token given by the King-tier First Kill. He also planned to identify the Obsidian equipment, build a team, and choose a location for the guild territory…
In short, there was a pile of things waiting for him to deal with. Time was tight.
"By the way, take this list and see if you can buy them over. Get it done in two days and gather at least 20 people so that we can sign up for the Challenger League!"
Lin Bei gave Green Collar a list of names. These were the names of the big shots who had risen in the later stages of his previous life. If he could pull a few of them into the team, he would make a killing!
After giving some instructions, Lin Bei went to the Instance Dungeon and opened it to the members of the Azure Plume Guild. Then, he used the Teleportation Array array of the Holy Light Village to arrive at Green Mountain City.
"It's time to advance my profession!"
As soon as he arrived at Green Mountain City, Lin Bei rushed towards the Temple Square.
The city was empty now. Other than the NPCs by the roadside, he was the only player.
"Hey! Kid, come here for a moment!"
At this moment, a sharp cry sounded.
Lin Bei turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, but he did not see anyone.
51 Extraordinary NPC! Goblin Merchant Bobo!
Strange, there was no one around.
Lin Bei was puzzled. Could it be that he had been too busy recently and was hallucinating?
"Where are you looking? I'm here!"
The sharp voice sounded again. Then, the space in front of Lin Bei was like a curtain that was pulled open by a withered palm. An old man with green skin less than half a meter tall appeared in front of Lin Bei.
"Hmm… Not bad, not bad! Looks like you're a good customer! Hehe!"
!
The green-skin elder pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and laughed shrilly. "You're the Descended One mentioned in the Heavenly Dao announcement, right? Hehe, to be able to kill a King-tier mutated Tainted-Blood Fanatic in such a realm, you have some skills!"
Heavenly Dao announcement?
It should be a server-wide announcement, right?
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment and checked the information of this green-skin old man.
Goblin Merchant Bobo (Lv.180, Extraordinary Mechanic)
"Damn!"
Lin Bei looked at the green-skin elder's ID and could not help but curse in his heart.
Extraordinary NPC?
Even in his previous life, in the world ten years later, they were still deity-like existences!
Why would a big shot of this level appear in a Level 3 main city like Green Mountain City?
It didn't make sense!
And from the looks of it… it seemed like he was waiting for him!
"Hehe, little friend, don't worry. I'm here to do business with you!"
Goblin Merchant Bobo chuckled and said, "You're the first Descended One to do business with me! I think highly of you!"
"…"
Lin Bei did not speak. Instead, he took a step back with a solemn expression.
NPCs of this level generally had extremely high intelligence. They were not something ordinary NPCs in the novice village could compare to. All of them were very smart and powerful. They were not easy to deal with!
In his previous life, there was a rumor that a top-notch player had accidentally provoked an extraordinary NPC. In the end, he was struck to Level 1 in a fit of anger. In the end, he deleted his account and left the public eye.
Although Lin Bei felt that he was very powerful with his level-SSS talent, he was not naive enough to think that he could compete with an existence of this level. He did not want to die.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad. You're cautious enough! I like such customers the most!"
The Goblin Merchant Bobo laughed strangely and said, "It seems that Jin Dadou did not cheat me. You are indeed a customer with good qualifications!"
"Golden Soybean?"
"Hehe, he's the shopkeeper of the grocery store in the Holy Light Village. He used to be an adventurer like you, but ever since he was shot in the knee, he retired and became a merchant. It's a pity. He was originally my Diamond-tier customer!"
The Goblin Merchant Bobo had a regretful expression. He looked at Lin Bei and urged, "Alright, cut the small talk. Hurry up and trade with me! The good stuff is with me!"
You have been certified as an Iron-tier customer by Goblin Merchant Bobo! You have unlocked the access to the Iron-tier store!
Swoosh!
Lin Bei felt his vision blur. He had already appeared under a starry sky. In front of him was a huge counter with a dazzling array of goods.
On the counter, the Goblin Merchant jumped and looked at Lin Bei. "This is the Iron-grade counter. Take a look!"
Lin Bei nodded and looked at the counter.
Damn!
What the hell…
Was this the Iron-grade counter?
But how could there be so many Diamond equipment?
And these high-level alchemy potions, was there a mistake?!
There was also a pile of high-level skill books! High-level items! Wait!
Lin Bei was already dazzled. Any one of these things was top-notch!
However, they actually filled the entire counter!
To be honest, if he did not still have his rationality, he would not have been able to resist the urge to kill and rob.
Damn, what a wealthy fellow!
He originally thought that he was already very rich with the drop bonus talent, but in the end? In comparison, he was nothing!
"Hehe, not bad, right?"
The Goblin Merchant Bobo was very satisfied with Lin Bei's reaction. He said proudly, "Tell me what you like! You'll pay and I'll deliver at the same time!"
"That's right, money!"
Lin Bei was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he carefully look at the prices displayed under the list of goods.
In the end, he was stunned when he took a look.
Identification Spell: A universal skill that can be used to identify equipment. Price: 15 Bobo coins.
Windwalking Boots: Lv.30, Diamond equipment, increases movement speed by 100%. Price: 10 Bobo coins.
Random Teleportation Scroll: After use, one will be randomly teleported. It's instantaneous. It can be used in combat. Price: 100 Bobo coins.
Stone Dagger, Price: 5 Bobo coins.
…
Bobo coins?
What kind of currency is this?
Most importantly… I don't have any!
"Hehe, Bobo coins are the special currency circulating in my Goblin Merchant Store."
The Goblin Merchant Bobo smiled and said, "Generally speaking, there are three ways to obtain Bobo coins. The first is the simplest. Deal with me and sell the items I'm willing to buy. I'll give you Bobo coins. The second is to complete my special missions. It's usually a delivery service. After completing it, you can obtain a certain amount of remuneration. As for the third… Hehe, defeat other customers and obtain Bobo coins from them!"
"How is it? I've already made myself clear, right?"
"Yes, I understand."
Lin Bei nodded and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Damn, this third way of obtaining Bobo coins was too ridiculous!
At the same time, he was also careful. Since he had already become an Iron-tier customer, he might be targeted at any time!
Although he was not afraid of the threat of other players now, NPCs were different!
Their levels were high, their equipment was good, and their skills were awesome. In addition, those who could activate the Goblin Merchant store should not be ordinary NPCs. Therefore, once he encountered them, he would probably be in trouble!
One had to know that here, Iron-tier customers could already buy Diamond equipment!
What about the Bronze, Silver, and Gold grades?
How terrifying would that be?
"Anyways, Shopkeeper Jin of the Holy Light Village is actually a Diamond-tier customer! You really can't judge a book by its cover! From the looks of it, he's probably an extremely awesome NPC! It's no wonder. If he's not powerful, how could he casually give me such an awesome Buff?"
Lin Bei thought to himself, "Looks like I have to go to the Holy Light Village to see Shopkeeper Jin again! Why did he introduce me to this Goblin Merchant Bobo?"
The more Lin Bei thought about it, the more confused he became.
Forget it, he wouldn't think about it anymore!
He would ask him in person later and see what he was up to!
"Um, do you accept Gold equipment?"
Lin Bei asked carefully.
"Huh?"
Goblin Merchant Bobo was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Lin Bei strangely and asked reproachfully, "Do you think this is a garbage dump? I'm not a waste collector. No, no!"
"How about Platinum equipment?"
"Garbage, no!"
"Diamond-grade?"
"Hmm… It's not trash anymore. Okay."
The Goblin Merchant Bobo looked troubled. In the end, he nodded and said, "But if the attributes are too trashy, I won't accept them either."
"…"
Lin Bei was instantly speechless. Alright, Diamonds are all trash, right?
However, after thinking about it and looking at the goods displayed on the other party's counter, Lin Bei was helpless. What he said… did make sense.
To Goblin Merchant Bobo, ordinary Diamond equipment was really trash.
What a wealthy fellow!
"Hey, don't just stand there! I'm waiting to trade!"
The Goblin Merchant urged with an unfriendly expression. Clearly, he was running out of patience.
Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat. He gritted his teeth and took out two universal skill books from his backpack. These were dropped from killing the Mutated Minotaur. At that time, he thought that they would not increase his strength much, so he did not use them to save Potential Points. Now, it seemed like he could use them to trade.
One was Flying Spell, and the other was Body Strengthening Spell.
"Haha! They're not bad! I'll take them!"
The Goblin Merchant Bobo's small eyes lit up. He rubbed his small hands and grinned. "Well, the Flying Spell is 10 Bobo coins. As for the Body Strengthening Spell… 100 Bobo coins!"
"Huh? The Body Strengthening Spell is so expensive? Really?"
Lin Bei was a little stunned.
He felt that this skill was very ordinary.
Could it be that he had misjudged?
Body Strengthening Spell: After using it, it can strengthen one's body and greatly increase stamina.
Stamina was not a basic attribute. It was not even included in the attribute list. However, he knew a little about stamina. Some hidden missions had a certain requirement for stamina.
However, if he increased his Constitution attribute in the game, it would also increase his stamina. Therefore, to Lin Bei, it was far less useful than Full of Vigor, which directly increased his upper limit of Health Points, so he directly gave it up then. However, now that Goblin Merchant Bobo had offered a high price of 100 Bobo coins, he really could not understand.
"Hehe, young man… you don't understand. This thing is very popular! Tsk tsk, especially those old fellows. They really like this!"
The Goblin Merchant Bobo smiled meaningfully and said, "Alright, don't just stand there. If you don't buy anything, I'm leaving!"
Lin Bei came back to his senses and looked at the list of goods. He was conflicted.
Although he had 110 Bobo coins now, facing the dazzling array of goods on the counter, it was still too little! 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
What should he buy?
Lin Bei frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Ahem, seeing that you're so conflicted, let me remind you to only buy the expensive ones, not the right ones. Do you understand?"
Only buy expensive ones?
Lin Bei was stunned and looked at the most expensive item on the counter.
Random Teleportation Scroll cost 100 Bobo coins, and there was only one!
Could it be that he should buy this?
52 Powerful Goblin Merchant Store! Attributes Soar!
"But… I only have a total of 110 Bobo coins."
Lin Bei was in a difficult position.
"Ahem, look at your poor face. Alright, alright. On account that you're my first Descended One customer and you sold me a Body Strengthening Spell, I'll give you a 50% discount for the first transaction. Is that enough?"
The Goblin Merchant dug his ears and urged, "Hurry up and buy it. A client is urging me to go over and trade."
Swoosh!
!
With a flash of light, the price of all the goods on the counter decreased by half.
Random Teleportation Scroll, price: 50 Bobo coins.
Lin Bei did not think too much about it and bought a Random Teleportation Scroll.
This scroll was a top-grade item which could be used to protect one's life. It could be instantly used. It would ignore the combat situation, and teleport directly. It was not bad to have one.
It was just that the price was a little expensive, but 50 Bobo coins was still acceptable.
"I have 60 Bobo coins left. What should I buy?"
Lin Bei glanced at the Identification Spell and did not choose to buy it. If he wanted to identify equipment, he could just buy an appraisal scroll. The price was only 10 gold coins. To him, it was not much at all.
Moreover, there was a chance that the Identification Spell would fail. Every failure would affect the quality of the final equipment. Therefore, if he bought the Identification Spell, he had to invest more Potential Points. Although he had 30 Potential Points now, he did not want to waste them on the Identification Spell. After all, he only had one equipment to be appraised now. He could buy an Identification Spell to resolve it.
As for the equipment that needed to be appraised in the future, that was something to consider in the future.
In his opinion, unless the Identification Spell broke the limit, it was better to use the appraisal scroll.
Soon, Lin Bei chose the goods he wanted to buy.
Windwalking Boots: Lv.30, Diamond-grade. Price: 5 Bobo coins.
Wind Cloak: Lv.30, Diamond-grade. Price: 5 Bobo coins.
Wind Belt: Lv.30 Diamond-grade. Price: 5 Bobo coins.
Magic Enhancement: A universal skill that can increase Magic Strength. Price: 10 Bobo coins.
Strength Enhancement: A universal skill that can increase Physical Strength. Price: 10 Bobo coins.
Agility Enhancement: A universal skill that can increase Agility. Price: 10 Bobo coins.
Magic Enhancement: A universal skill that can increase Constitution. Price: 10 Bobo coins.
For the last five Bobo coins, Lin Bei bought five bottles of alchemy potions.
Advanced Combat Recovery Potion: After using it, one can recover 10,000 Health Points per second for 10 seconds. Price: 1 Bobo coin.
Advanced Combat Magic Potion: After using it, one can recover 10,000 Magic Power per second for 10 seconds. Price: 1 Bobo Coin.
Advanced Health Limit Potion: After using it, increases Maximum Health Points by 100,000 for 10 minutes. Price: 1 Bobo coin.
Advanced Magic Limit Potion: After using it, increases Maximum Magic Power by 100,000 for 10 minutes. Price: 1 Bobo coin.
Advanced Magic Strength Potion: After using it, increases Magic Strength by 500 points for 10 minutes. Price: 1 Bobo coin.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad! As a high-quality customer, you have to spend all your Bobo coins every time you visit this store! Otherwise, if you keep them, they might become someone else's one day!"
The Goblin Merchant Bobo laughed strangely and threw a green-pattern token to Lin Bei. He smiled and said, "I'll give you a transaction token for free. No matter where you are, as long as you activate the token, you can trade with me. However, you can only use it 10 times. This one is for free. If you use it up, you'll have to buy it yourself! Regarding the price, one is only 50 Bobo coins! Bye~"
There was a splash.
The surrounding space was like water. In the next second, Lin Bei returned to the streets of Green Mountain City.
"I didn't expect to encounter a mysterious Extraordinary NPC as soon as I entered the city! However, his store is indeed not bad. To me, it's a good place!"
Now, Lin Bei was facing a problem. As his strength increased, he would kill more and more Bosses. Coupled with his "Drop Quality +2" Buff, he would have a chance to obtain many high-quality items and equipment, but… once there were too many, it would be difficult for him to deal with them.
However, with the Goblin Merchant store, it was different. He could completely exchange the unused items for Bobo coins and use these Bobo coins to buy the items he needed in the Goblin Merchant store. This way, he would not have to worry about how to deal with the unused equipment.
However, the Goblin Merchant store would only buy equipment above Diamond-grade, which gave him a headache.
This meant that it was very difficult to get rid of his unused equipment that was below Diamond-grade.
Throw them all into the guild warehouse?
This was a solution, but as time passed, the guild would not need so much equipment. Could he sell it to an enemy guild and let them deal with him?
It didn't seem very wise.
"Why don't I… disassemble these equipment?"
Lin Bei thought of a solution.
In Second World, equipment could be disassembled. After disassembly, according to the quality and attributes of the equipment, one would obtain a different number of corresponding Soul Crystals. Some ultimate skills required Soul Crystals to be released.
The higher the level of the ultimate skill, the more high-quality Soul Crystals were needed.
Of course, if there were corresponding design blueprints, one could also use Soul Crystals to make many special items.
As someone who had been reborn, Lin Bei naturally knew many powerful design blueprints.
Among them, no less than ten types required Soul Crystals.
"I'll do this. All equipment below Gold-grade will be thrown into the guild warehouse. As for the Gold and Platinum grades, they will be stored in the warehouse to motivate the guild members. As for the other excess equipment, I'll disassemble them and exchange them for Soul Crystals!"
In any case, he did not lack these equipment.
It was better to prepare some Soul Crystals in advance. Whether it was to make items or to release ultimate skills, he could never have too many of them.
"Looks like I have to learn a disassembly spell."
Disassembly Spell was a universal skill, but fortunately, it was a common universal skill. It was sold in the Temple Square at 100 gold coins and was not very expensive.
After thinking about how to deal with these equipment, Lin Bei opened his backpack and used the five bottles of alchemy potions he had bought previously.
Advanced Health Recovery: Restores 10,000 Health Points per second. Duration: ∞.
Advanced Magic Recovery: Restores 10,000 Magic Power per second. Duration: ∞.
Advanced Health Limit Increase: Increases Maximum Health Points by 100,000. Duration: ∞.
Advanced Magic Limit Increase: Increases the upper limit of Magic Power by 100,000 points. Duration: ∞.
Advanced Magic Strength Increase: Magic Strength Increases by 500 points. Duration: ∞.
"Awesome!"
Lin Bei looked at his new attributes list and immediately felt refreshed.
—-|—-
Inner Peace
Level: 20
Profession: Priest (Can advance), Profession Unchanged, Profession Unchanged
Health Points: 176,694 (Holy Light Shield: 202,500)
Magic Power: 124,210
Magic Attack: 4,492
Physical Attack: 1,642
Physical/Magic Defense: 2,121/2,524
Physical Critical Hit Rate: 35%
Magic Critical Hit Rate: 50%
Health Recovery: 22,500
Magic Recovery: 12,500
—-|—-
With his current health and shield, coupled with his terrifying health recovery speed, unless the opponent insta-killed him, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to!
"Next, it's time to go to the Temple Square to advance my profession. I can also regain the potential points I wasted previously. This way, I'll have enough potential points to learn the few skill books I bought previously." 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Lin Bei looked at the four skill books in his backpack that increased his basic attributes. What he cared about the most now was the Magic Enhancement. Among all his basic attributes, the highest was Magic Strength. After taking the Magic Potion just now, with the enhancement of his equipment, his Magic Strength attribute had already exceeded 1,000 points.
He was less than 1,000 points away from the 2,000 threshold needed for the Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough!
After his profession advanced, his attributes would increase. At that time, coupled with the increase in Magic Strength, it was very likely that his Magic Strength would directly break through 2,000 points. At that time, he could unlock the "Magic Power Limit Breakthrough" and improve his combat strength!
Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough!
Here I come!
…
Holy Light Village, General Store.
Shopkeeper Jin was leaning back in his recliner and looking at the ceiling in boredom.
Suddenly, the space trembled slightly, and an old goblin appeared on the counter.
"Bobo? What are you doing here?"
"Hehe, that kid is not bad. I think… he will soon become my diamond member!"
"That's none of my business. Now get going. I don't want to see you."
"Don't. I brought you something good! You'll definitely like it!"
"What is it? I can tell you in advance that I don't accept trash."
"Hehe, look at this."
Bobo grinned and took out a skill book.
"Damn, this is… the Body Strengthening Spell?!"
Shopkeeper Jin jumped up from his chair with an excited expression. "How much? I want it!"
"Hehe, 2,000 Bobo coins."
"That's so cheap! I'll take it!"
Shopkeeper Jin waved his hand, and two golden special currencies landed in Bobo's hand.
"Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye! Hehe~"
Bobo pocketed the money, gave a strange laugh, and disappeared.
"Hmm… With the Body Strengthening Spell, I should feel better, but… it's still not enough. If only there were more things to strengthen my stamina."
After Shopkeeper Jin put away the Body Strengthening Spell, he closed the shop and left in a hurry.
…
On the other side, Lin Bei had already arrived at the Holy Temple Square.
53 I'm Here to Freeload the Buffs!
Green Mountain City was a Level 3 main city.
In the Heavenly Might Server, there were a total of 108 main cities like Green Mountain City.
Even so, the area of Green Mountain City was equivalent to the size of a county in the real world.
Generally speaking, a Level 3 main city had about ten novice villages under its jurisdiction. Holy Light Village was one of the ten novice villages under the jurisdiction of Green Mountain City.
Within each main city, there were a total of three great powers. They were the City Lord Manor, the Light Temple, and the Bloodshed Tavern.
The City Lord Manor controlled the entire city's military strength and shops, while the Light Temple was the hall of the believers. As for the Bloodshed Tavern, mercenary groups that licked blood from the tip of their blades had gathered there. Although their strength was uneven, when gathered together, they definitely could not be underestimated.
As for the Temple Square where Lin Bei was advancing his profession, just from the name, one could tell that it was an area controlled by the Light Temple.
On the square, there were shops all around. In the center was a huge golden statue. It was said to be a statue of the God of Light.
Below the statue were six regional halls. They were regions where the six basic professions advanced. In each region, there were at least three instructors who represented the different directions of advancement for several professions.
The area that Lin Bei was heading to was the Priest Advancement Area. There were a total of three mentors here. Two men and one woman. The woman was young and beautiful. She had fair skin and was wearing a white robe, giving off a warm feeling. The other two men were filled with a murderous aura. One of them was wearing a blood-colored robe and holding a red sword. Killing intent spread between his eyebrows. The other man was wearing golden armor and had long golden hair. He held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. His smile was gentle, but he gave off a dangerous aura.
Among these three people, the woman was the Healer Class Advancement Instructor. As for the other two, the Judgment Class Advancement Instructor was in the red robe and the War Class Advancement Instructor was in golden armor.
The three of them were originally sitting in the hall and discussing something. When they saw Lin Bei coming over, their eyes lit up and they leaned over.
"Hello, I'm Edward, a War Priest Advancement Instructor. You're the Descended One mentioned in the Heavenly Dao announcement, right? You're indeed young and promising. You actually killed a King-tier fanatic alone. A talent like you can only fully utilize your talent by becoming a great War Priest! Choose me. I'll pick a high-level Advanced Profession suitable for you according to your talent!"
The golden-armored man said with a smile.
"Shut up, Edward."
At this moment, the red-robed man stepped forward. His gaze was sharp as he sized up Lin Bei and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. You're very talented. Moreover, my intuition tells me that you're definitely not the kind of mediocre person who's willing to hide behind the crowd. Therefore… you should join our Hall of Judgment and become an Adjudicator. Kill all rebels! Raise the might of our Holy Temple!"
"Hey, Edward and Cassidy, you two only know how to fight and kill all day. Can't you be more normal? Little brother, I see that the Holy Light aura on your body is dense. You should have been baptized by the Holy Temple aura, right? In your situation, it's better for you to advance to a great Holy Light Priest with me, Corinne!"
The female priest smiled and raised her finger slightly. A holy light landed on Lin Bei.
Ding! You have received the bonus of Holy Light Awakening from Priest Corinne! All basic attributes have increased by 50% for 1 hour!
You have successfully triggered the Unlimited Buff Talent! The duration of the Holy Light Awakening has become permanent!
Lin Bei: o(?Д?)?!
Amazing!
I didn't even do anything and she gave me a big gift!
Lin Bei's eyes flickered and he suddenly had a plan.
Each of these Advancement Instructors was at least an A-rank professional. If he could benefit from their Buff… wouldn't his strength be able to improve further?
Just do it!
"Wow, Instructor Corinne, you're so powerful! I feel that my strength has increased by a large margin! Is the Holy Light Priest so powerful?"
Lin Bei was excited. At the same time, he did not forget to glance at Edward and Cassidy with an apologetic expression.
It was this look that made the two of them anxious!
"Corinne! Your Holy Light Awakening is an ability that can only be learned at Level 100. Moreover, it consumes a lot of energy. You're simply misleading him! Watch me!"
As Edward shouted, he took a step forward. The light sword in his hand intertwined with the light shield, and a powerful force suddenly erupted, instantly enveloping Lin Bei!
You have been enhanced by Holy War Priest Edward's Frenzy Blood! Attack power increased by 100% for 1 hour.
You have successfully triggered the Unlimited Buff Talent! The duration of Frenzy Blood has become permanent!
Lin Bei was stunned. This Buff was amazing. It directly doubled his attack power, and it was a double increase in magic and physical attacks. It was really amazing!
This Holy War Priest's skill was quite powerful!
"Little brother, don't be surprised. This is only the beginning!"
Edward looked at Lin Bei's shocked expression and could not help but smile. He used a few more skills.
Hmph, competing in buffing skills, right? Who can have more skills than me, the Holy War Priest?
Corinne, you're shooting yourself in the foot!
Edward looked smugly at Corinne, who had fallen silent, and the smile on his lips became even brighter!
"Holy War Body!"
"Holy War Speed!"
"Holy War Body!"
You have received the bonus of the Holy War Body! Maximum Health Points +100%. Duration: ∞.
You have received the bonus of the Holy War Speed! Movement speed increased by 100%. Duration: ∞.
You have received the bonus of the Holy War Body! All Defenses increased by 100%. Duration: ∞.
Lin Bei was speechless.
"How is it, little brother? Our Holy War Priest is more powerful, right? It's definitely not wrong to advance with me! At that time, you'll be able to fight a thousand people alone and lead a thousand troops. You'll definitely be awesome… Ahem, you'll definitely be able to fully display your talent!"
Edward smiled and looked at Lin Bei, who was still in a daze. He went forward and patted his shoulder, saying earnestly, "Don't worry, the Holy War Priest is an S-Class profession advancement! It's definitely not a loss!"
"Instructor Edward! This Holy War Priest is too strong! Your methods have simply broadened my horizons!"
Lin Bei came back to his senses and said with admiration. 𝚋e𝚍n𝚘ve𝚕.𝚘𝚛𝚐
Edward's face was filled with pride when he heard that. He nodded and said, "That's nothing. When you become a Holy War Priest, you still have a chance to advance to the Divine War Priest in the future! That's the top existence in this world!"
"Alright, cut the crap. Do you really think you're so powerful?"
At this moment, Cassidy, who had been silent, could not hold it in anymore. He went forward and placed his palm on Lin Bei's shoulder. He said in a low voice, "Aura of Judgment!"
Swoosh!
The blood-red aura instantly enveloped Lin Bei, making him feel a little dizzy.
Damn, what was going on?
Lin Bei was a little stunned. This Buff actually affected his consciousness?
It was a little awesome!
At this moment, a system notification sounded in his ear.
You have received the bonus of Cassidy's Aura of Judgment! All attacks ignore defense! Duration: 30 minutes!
You have successfully triggered the Unlimited Buff Talent! The duration of Aura of Judgment has become permanent!
Lin Bei's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Wasn't this Aura of Judgment too awesome?
This ability to ignore defense was definitely not something a Level S profession could possess!
It should be something that Level SS hidden professions had!
On the other side, after releasing the Aura of Judgment, Cassidy's aura was clearly weaker. His eyes were no longer as sharp as before, but filled with exhaustion.
From this, it could be seen that this Aura of Judgment consumed a lot of energy for him.
However, this was normal. This was a Buff skill that ignored defense!
In the game, it was simply an existence that destroyed the balance!
It was definitely OP!
It would be strange if the price was not high.
However, the original skill only lasted for an hour, but Lin Bei now… had a permanent state of Aura of Judgment!
This meant that every attack of his would have the ability to ignore defense!
"Too awesome! As expected, with such a powerful talent, changing professions is secondary. Freeloading Buffs is the way to go!"
Lin Bei thought about it and looked at his two empty profession advancement positions. He turned around and looked at the other profession advancement halls not far away. He could not help but think.
If I walk around this place, I wonder how many powerful Buffs I can get?
Lin Bei's eyes were filled with excitement and he could not wait.
54 My Buffs Are Invincible!
Thinking of this, Lin Bei looked up at the three of them and told them about his situation.
"What! You actually have three professional slots! You should have said so earlier! This way, we each have one. What's the point of fighting?"
Edward rolled his eyes and was unhappy.
Do you think I can release those skills casually?
That requires Platinum-rank Soul Crystals!
As for the Frenzy Blood, it required a diamond-grade Soul Crystal!
This was a huge loss!
Edward wailed in his heart, but he could only hide it.
Sigh, he was too impulsive.
Who knew that this kid had three profession slots?
However, at the same time, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Since the other party had three profession slots, he could get one no matter what. It was not a loss!
Haha, this was a genius who had single-handedly killed a King-tier Fanatic!
If he trained him well in the future, he would definitely be able to nurture an extraordinary expert for the Holy Temple!
Edward felt much better at that thought.
"Little brother, then let's advance your profession first. Become a Holy Light Priest first. Don't worry, with me around, it's very simple!"
"No! He should advance to a Holy War Priest first! Holy Light Priests don't have much combat strength! He can transfer later!"
"You're wrong. My Blade of Judgment is the most powerful! You have to stand aside!"
In an instant, the three of them started arguing.
Although Lin Bei had three professions now, only one could advance. The other two still needed to cultivate from scratch. They were considered part-time professions and not the main profession.
Therefore, the three of them fought until their faces turned red just to fight for the main profession.
"Uh… well, actually, I haven't thought about it yet."
Lin Bei said awkwardly, "Don't I have three profession positions? Other than the advancement of the Priest, I can also choose other professions, so I want to take a look at the other halls. If there's a suitable one, I can also…"
"Damn! You're heartless!"
Edward almost vomited blood when he heard that.
The expressions of the other two changed as well, and they became nervous.
"No! You have three profession positions, and you can choose the three Holy Temple professions. With your talent, you can definitely be nurtured by the Holy Temple in the future!"
"That's right, little brother. Temple benefits are very good."
At this moment, a bald burly man strode over and laughed loudly. "Haha, I thought something had happened? It turns out that the Descended One from the Heavenly Dao Announcement has come to your side! Kid, I think it's better for you to join our Bloodshed Tavern! The Holy Temple is filled with fraudsters who don't have any freedom at all. If you come to our Bloodshed Tavern, you'll enjoy nothing but freedom!"
"Monka! What did you say?"
"Didn't you hear what I said? Are you deaf?"
The bald man curled his lips and looked at Lin Bei with shining eyes. "Kid, my profession is Bloodthirsty Berserker. It's definitely not wrong to follow me!"
As he spoke, the battle aura on the bald burly man's body rose as he roared, "Ha! Bloodthirsty Power! Activate!"
You have been enhanced by the Bloodthirsty Berserker Monka's Bloodthirsty Power! All damage has a 20% Lifesteal effect! Duration: ∞.
"Berserk Power! Activate!"
You have received the bonus of the Bloodthirsty Berserker Monka's "Berserk Power"! Critical Hit Rate increased by 20%, Critical Hit Damage increased by 100%. Duration: ∞.
"Haha! How is it? Impressive, right? Come with me. I'll teach you these skills for free!"
Monka smiled and patted Lin Bei's shoulder. He said in a clear voice, "Not only that, I'll pay for all your skills until you reach Level 100. They're all free! Moreover, I'll give you Soul Crystals. Our Bloodshed Tavern doesn't have much else, but we have a lot of money!"
"Hehe, Monka is right. You can consider the Shadow Assassin. It's an S-Class profession and is not inferior to others!"
A shadow suddenly appeared behind Lin Bei and said with a smile.
Then, he raised his hand and cast a Buff on Lin Bei before disappearing again.
You have received the bonus of Shadow Assassin Reiner's Shadow Breath! Evasion rate increased by 50%. Duration: ∞.
"And me!"
A cute girl who looked short but had prominent breasts came over and gave Lin Bei a layer of Buff. She smiled and said, "Our Elemental Summoner is also very powerful!"
You have received Elemental Blessing from Elemental Summoner Eliza! All elemental attacks have been increased by 50%. Duration: ∞.
Soon, more and more professional mentors gathered in the Priest Profession Hall of the Temple Square. Without a word, they first cast a Buff and patiently introduced the advantages of their profession to Lin Bei. At the same time, they did not forget to trample on the professions of the other factions. The three factions were clearly separated.
However, when Lin Bei heard the system notifications ringing in his ears, he was overjoyed.
"More! More! I feel like I'm almost invincible! Hahaha…"
In less than ten minutes, more than twenty powerful Buffs appeared on his body!
One had to know that these professional mentors were all Level 100 big shots. In addition, their professions were at least at Level A. In order to rope in Lin Bei, they spared no effort to use their strongest Buff skills. Therefore, every Buff on Lin Bei was ridiculously strong!
There were attacks, defense, agility, dodging… There were so many bonuses that it was dazzling.
More importantly, Lin Bei had also obtained a powerful Buff from a Dynasty Knight—The Dominator's Heavy Armor!
Dominator's Heavy Armor: Immune to all magic dispel effects and recovers 5% HP every second. Duration: ∞.
To the current Lin Bei, this was definitely a divine Buff!
Not to mention the 5% HP recovery effect per second, the most important thing was the immunity to all magic dispel effects!
Magic Dispel could dispel the Buffs. Originally, he had to be wary of such skills, but now that he had the Buff of Dominator's Heavy Armor, he did not have to worry about anything!
All the Buffs on his body had become true permanent existences!
Even if someone used a spell to dispel the Buffs, he would not panic at all!
"This time… I really feel invincible!"
Lin Bei was extremely happy. He glanced at the group of professional mentors who were still arguing and a smile appeared on his face. He was really lucky. He did not expect that he would attract the attention of these professional mentors just by obtaining the first kill of a King-tier Boss by chance.
Moreover, the Goblin Merchant from before seemed to have taken a fancy to his potential.
In the end, this world still relied on strength.
Although he was already among the top players, he was still far inferior to those powerful NPCs.
He did have a lot of Buffs, but the key was that the other party could insta-kill him with one move!
This was the difference!
"Now is not the time for me to be smug! This is only the beginning! I have to become stronger!"
Lin Bei thought of Bobo, the Goblin Merchant he had met previously. That guy had a lot of good things on him! In fact, from the moment he saw him, he had a deep thought.
That was to rob Bobo!
However, with his strength, it was not enough.
Therefore, he could only hide it in his heart.
But now he saw a glimmer of hope.
Previously, when he sold Bobo the Body Strengthening Spell, he had already sensed the unconcealed greed in the other party's eyes. Clearly, the other party had treated him as a fat sheep.
He did not need to think to know that the value of the Body Strengthening Spell was far more than 100 Bobo coins!
However, he had no choice at that time.
That was an Extraordinary NPC!
It was an existence with the ability to directly kill players until they were crippled!
He did not dare to take the risk and could only choose to endure for the time being.
"Put it in my notebook first!"
As the saying goes, the wheel of fortune turns. He was confident that as long as he kept becoming stronger, he would one day be able to get back at that treacherous Goblin merchant!
"There's still a long way to go."
Lin Bei muttered.
However, he would not give up.
"Let him live happily for a few days. When I become strong enough, I'll be the first to deal with him!"
Lin Bei had already made up his mind.
"Nonsense. This is the Temple Square. It represents the face of the Light Temple. How can it be such a noisy place!"
Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended from the sky and landed on the Holy Temple Square.
The expressions of the professional mentors who had been arguing suddenly changed when they heard this. They instantly disappeared without a trace and returned to their posts.
Swoosh!
A golden holy light appeared in the Priest Profession Hall. This was an incomparably cold white-haired woman. Her eyes were like water, but there was no emotion in them.
"Greetings, Light Guardian!"
The three instructors in the Priest Professional Hall hurriedly knelt on one knee and carefully bowed to the white-haired woman.
"Get up."
The white-haired woman said indifferently and looked at Lin Bei. "Are you the Descended One who killed the King-tier Tainted-Blood Fanatic?"
A pressure suddenly attacked, making Lin Bei's hair stand on end.
What a huge pressure!
Lin Bei subconsciously checked the white-haired woman's attributes.
Light Guardian Alina (Lv.200, Extraordinary, War Goddess)
Level 200 Extraordinary NPC? Moreover, the profession "War Goddess" looked more awesome than Bobo who was a Mechanic!
"You've met my sister?"
Just as Lin Bei felt the pressure, the powerful pressure suddenly dissipated. A question sounded in his ear.
"Huh?"
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment and did not react.
"Elena, have you… seen her?"
The white-haired woman said calmly. Although her tone was extremely calm, Lin Bei felt that she seemed to be looking forward to a positive answer.
"I've never seen her in person, but… I found this."
Lin Bei did not hide anything and took out the black stone statue he had found in the Holy Light Village from his inventory.
"Come with me!"
The white-haired woman's eyes moved slightly. Before Lin Bei could react, she grabbed his shoulder and turned into a wisp of white light, disappearing from the hall.
In the hall, the three of them were sweating profusely and instantly collapsed.
Edward: "Phew, you scared me to death! The Guardian… is getting stronger and stronger!"
Corinne: "Yes, I've only felt such a powerful aura from the archbishop! Could it be that… she has already…"
Cassidy said, "Shut up! The Guardian is not someone we can discuss!"
…
On the other side, Lin Bei felt his vision blur. In the next moment, he had already arrived in a sea of flowers.
"I can give you a powerful profession advancement option here! However, you have to promise me something. Find my sister and bring her back!"
You have triggered unique Abyss-level hidden mission, Alina's Request! Do you accept?
After accepting it, you will have the chance to advance to an SSS-rank profession!
"SSS-class profession!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he was excited.
What do I do?
Should I accept it?
55 Prince Charming of War? Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough!
Should I accept it?
Of course!
Lin Bei looked excited.
In his previous life, had a player changed their profession to an SSS-rank hidden profession?
No!
!
Even Chen Changsheng in his previous life, who was the only one that had obtained an SSS-rank talent, had only changed his profession to an SS-rank hidden profession!
However, at this moment, the opportunity to change his profession to an SSS-rank profession was in front of him!
If he didn't do it, would he still be human?
The existence of an SSS-rank talent had already given him unimaginable benefits. What about the SSS-rank hidden profession? Could it be bad?
Moreover, he already had a hidden mission to find Elena. Now that he had accepted Alina's mission, it was killing two birds with one stone.
Moreover, this Alina was not to be trifled with. Who knew if she would vent her anger on him if he rashly rejected her?
So…
"I accept it!"
Lin Bei said firmly.
"Great."
Approval flashed in Alina's eyes, and her cold expression softened.
She reached out her white palm and placed it on Lin Bei's shoulder.
In the blink of an eye, red, white, and gold energies gathered from all directions. They intertwined and turned into orange energy that surged into Lin Bei's body.
Your Priest profession has advanced to Prince Charming of War!
You have grasped the power of war, healing, and judgment at the same time!
Your attributes have increased!
You have activated a new skill column!
As the first player to successfully change his profession in the Heavenly Might Server, you have obtained a Class Change Treasure Chest x1! A system announcement is about to be made. Do you want to hide your name?
"Ah, this… Prince Charming of War? Damn, is this the name of an SSS-level hidden profession?"
Lin Bei was dumbfounded. Although it was very similar to Alina's profession name, wasn't it a little perfunctory to directly change from the Goddess of War to the Prince Charming of War?
Wasn't this too ridiculous?
Lin Bei felt inexplicably ashamed, but he had no choice. After all, it was an SSS-rank profession, and his profession attributes were still very strong.
War Awakening (Professional Talent): Lv.1. Every time you defeat 1,000 enemies (≥ your level), you will obtain 1 basic free attribute point. Every time you kill 100,000 enemies (≥ your level), you will obtain 1 potential point. The level-up experience you need has increased by 5 times.
Body of Holy Light (Professional Talent): Lv.1, all Holy Light-type abilities increase by 100%.
Body of Judgment (Professional Talent): Lv.1, all attacks have an additional 100% Judgment damage.
This professional talent could only be described with one word: awesome!
Moreover, there were actually three professional talents!
Besides, these talents could actually be upgraded!
However, Lin Bei did not know how to increase his professional talent level.
In his previous life, he was only a B-rank profession. His profession talent did not have a level. Moreover, from the information he had, no one else seemed to have encountered a similar situation.
"Although you've already obtained the power of the War God, it's only the most basic power."
Seeing Lin Bei's confusion, Alina explained, "The power of the War God can't be improved through ordinary methods. If you want to upgrade the power of the War God, you need the proof of strength!"
"Proof of strength?"
Lin Bei was stunned.
"The proof of strength is just a general term. You killed the King-tier Tainted-Blood Fanatic. If I'm not wrong, you should have obtained the King's Insignia, right?"
Alina said, "The King's Insignia is the lowest-level proof of strength. Above that, there's the Emperor's Insignia, the Monarch's Insignia, and the Extraordinary Insignia! And the King's Insignia in your hand can strengthen one power of the War God from Level 1 to Level 2. Further above, it requires a higher-level proof of strength! Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Understood!"
Lin Bei nodded.
"Similarly, the learning of the related skills of the power of the War God also requires the proof of strength! Therefore, you can only become stronger by continuously defeating strong people! Using battle to nurture battle is the path of our people!"
After Alina finished speaking, she said in a deep voice, "Next, I'll give you a trial mission. If you can complete it, I'll give you two basic skills of the Power of the War God."
You have triggered a professional trial mission!
Mission Details: Within 24 hours, obtain the title of the top 500 of the Space Dueling Ground.
Mission Reward: Level 20 professional exclusive skill.
Punishment for failure: decrease of Alina's fondness.
"Alright, I'll be staying in Green Mountain City for a while. If you need anything, you can look for me at the Light Temple."
After Alina finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved. Lin Bei was immediately surrounded by a ball of light. In the next second, the world spun and he was back in the Temple Square.
"Phew… I didn't expect to complete the profession advancement so easily. However, my luck is not bad. I actually advanced to an SSS-rank hidden profession! Although the name is a little terrible, this profession talents are too great!"
Lin Bei looked at the three new professional talents he had obtained and could not stop smiling.
This was only a Level 1 talent, but it was already so powerful. If it leveled up a few times, wouldn't it be invincible?
Looking at the only King's Insignia in his hand, Lin Bei thought for a long time and finally used it on the War Awakening.
You have used the King's Insignia! Your professional talent, War Awakening, has increased to Lv.2!
War Awakening (Professional Talent): Lv.2, for every 1,000 enemies defeated (≥ your level), you will obtain 2 basic free attribute points. For every 100,000 enemies killed (≥ your level), you will obtain 2 potential points. The leveling experience you need has increased by 10 times.
"Good lord, the killing reward has actually doubled! However… why has the leveling-up experience also doubled?"
Lin Bei had a headache.
He was naturally happy that his attributes and potential points had doubled, but… if his experience points doubled again, he would be in trouble.
Originally, 5 times leveling up experience was already a lot. Now, it was directly 10 times. It had to be said that this was too ruthless.
"Forget it. Although my leveling experience has increased by 10 times, with my current strength, my speed of killing monsters is not slow! I can keep up."
Lin Bei frowned and thought to himself, "Actually, for the current me, other than the equipment restrictions, it doesn't seem to affect me much."
"Furthermore, with the War Awakening talent, as long as I kill enough, I can keep obtaining attribute points and potential points. Moreover, with Elena's Prayer, I can double the attribute points and potential points I obtain!"
"In other words, for every 1,000 monsters of the same level that I kill now, I can obtain 4 basic attribute points. For every 100,000 killed, I can obtain 4 potential points!"
"That's quite a lot!"
Lin Bei came back to his senses and looked at the EXP he had stored in the dungeon. He shrugged. Originally, this accumulated EXP was enough for him to reach Level 30. Now… he could barely reach Level 25.
You have leveled up! Current Level: 25!
You have obtained 100 basic attribute points! You have obtained 15 potential points!
Detected Elena's Prayer! Additional 100 basic attribute points and 15 potential points obtained!
"As expected of an SSS-rank profession. Every time I level up, I can obtain 20 basic attributes and 3 potential points. Compared to other advanced professions, I'm much stronger!"
Lin Bei sighed in his heart. At the same time, he added all his attributes to his Magic Strength. Up until now, his basic Magic Strength attribute had already exceeded 1,200 points. Coupled with the 50% increase in all attributes from Holy Light Priest Corinna's Holy Light Awakening in the Holy Temple Square, his Magic Strength had already exceeded 1,800 points!
Next, as long as he learned Magic Enhancement, he could directly break through the Magic Strength Limit!
Do you want to spend 1 Potential Point to learn Magic Enhancement?
Learn it!
Then, Lin Bei spent 3 Potential Points and used Elena's Blessing Necklace to directly increase his Magic Enhancement to Level 5!
Magic Enhancement: Lv.5. After activation, it can increase Magic Strength attribute by 50% for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 30 minutes.
"With this, my Magic Strength can break through the limit!"
Lin Bei grinned and activated the Magic Enhancement.
You have activated the Magic Enhancement! Your Magic Strength attribute has increased by 50%! Duration: ∞.
Your Magic Strength has successfully broken through 2,000 points! Unlocked special skill, Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough!
As the first player in the entire server to unlock the Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough, your Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough has been upgraded to Extraordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough!
A server-wide announcement is about to be made! Do you want to hide your name?
"Don't hide it!" 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝙤𝒓𝙜
Lin Bei smiled brightly. As he had expected, there would be additional rewards for breaking the limit for the first time!
Extraordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough!
Lin Bei looked at this special skill and was overjoyed.
As expected of a skill with the prefix of Extraordinary. It was indeed awesome!
56 Extraordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough!
Unlike the attribute of ordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough, the attribute of Extraordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough was clearly much stronger than the former!
Magic Power Limit Breakthrough: Within 5 seconds, Magic Critical Hit Chance 100%, Magic Critical Hit Damage +100%, Cooldown: 60 seconds
This was the attribute of ordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough.
As for Extraordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough, it was simply explosive!
Extraordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough: Magic Critical Hit Chance increased by 200% within 5 seconds. Magic Critical Hit Damage increased by 300%. Cooldown time: 60 seconds.
!
Magic Critical Hit Chance doubled! Moreover, the Magic Critical Hit Damage increased by three times!
In Second World, after the critical hit chance exceeded 100%, the excessive critical hit chance would be stacked on the critical hit damage.
For example, if a person had a 200% Critical Hit Chance and the opponent had a 0% Critical Hit Immunity Chance, the Critical Hit Damage he dealt to this enemy would increase by an additional 100%!
Extraordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough had a 200% Magic Critical Hit Chance and an additional 300% Critical Hit Damage bonus. Without considering other factors, Lin Bei could deal 6 times the Magic Damage to the enemy with this skill alone!
Coupled with the defense-ignoring attack and the damage bonus of other Buffs, Lin Bei's magic damage output would soar!
Under the effect of Magic Enhancement, his Magic Strength attribute had already exceeded 2,700 points. Compared to his other attributes, it could be said to be ahead of everyone else.
However, after tasting the benefits, he naturally would not limit his sights to a single Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough. What he wanted was all Extraordinary Limit Breaking Skills!
Extraordinary Constitution Breakthrough! Extraordinary Agility Breakthrough! Extraordinary Physical Strength Breakthrough!
"Three more to go!"
Lin Bei glanced at his other basic attributes. They were only about 100 points. He was really far from the 2,000 points needed to break through the limit.
"However, I have the Holy Light Awakening Buff. All my basic attributes have a 50% bonus. If I upgrade the other general skills to Level 5, I can also obtain a 50% bonus to my attributes. This way, I can have a total of 100% bonus attributes!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up.
"In other words, as long as I can accumulate a single attribute to 1,000 points, coupled with the attribute bonus, I can break through 2,000 points in one go! From there, I can activate the Extraordinary Limit Breaking Skill!"
Lin Bei thought of Goblin Merchant Bobo. That guy's Iron-grade shop sold alchemy potions that increased attributes. The high-level magic potions he used previously were bought from there.
Every bottle of Advanced Attribute Alchemy Potion could temporarily increase his basic attributes by 500 points. Of course, for Lin Bei, it was a permanent increase!
"The price of each bottle of potion is only 1 Bobo Coin. I only need to randomly get a universal skill book to buy it all!"
Lin Bei thought to himself.
At this moment, his Mutated Blood had already reached Level 6. Every six hours, he could generate 10 Mutated Bosses. In other words, he could at least obtain 40 universal skill books in a day. According to the price of 5 Bobo coins per book, it was worth 200 Bobo coins!
This was a huge sum of money for him now!
Previously, in order to win the bet with Azure Plume Guild and because the monsters in the dungeon space could not extract blood, Lin Bei had never had the chance to generate the Mutated Boss. However, it was different now. He had time!
"This way, my other basic attributes should be able to easily increase to 600 points! However… I'm still 400 points away from 1,000 points! Looks like I can only rely on my equipment to level up!"
Lin Bei already had a plan. He wanted to get a few sets of equipment that specialized in increasing his basic attributes.
Once his attributes were accumulated to 1,000 points, combined with the bonus, he would directly unlock the Extraordinary Limit Breaking Skill!
Then, as long as he activated the skill, he could obtain the bonus of the permanent Extraordinary Limit Breaking skill. At that time, it would not matter if he wanted to change to other equipment.
"I'll go regain my points first! I'll learn these attribute enhancement skills!"
Lin Bei directly activated the Extraordinary Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough and obtained a permanent buff. Then, he quickly arrived at the Fountain of Oblivion in the Temple Square.
"I want to use the Fountain of Oblivion!"
Lin Bei said to the old man guarding the Fountain of Oblivion.
"How much Fountain of Oblivion do you want to use? 100 gold coins per drop!"
"Seven drops."
Lin Bei had already calculated the number of potential points he had wasted previously. He spent 700 gold coins to buy 7 drops of Fountain of Oblivion Water.
Previously, he had farmed in dungeons for an entire day. Coupled with the various system rewards, the number of gold coins he had now exceeded 100,000. Seven hundred gold coins was still very easy for him to take out.
After washing away the potential points that he had wasted previously, Lin Bei spent 12 potential points to upgrade Strength Enhancement, Agility Enhancement, and Constitution Enhancement to Level 5. Elena's Blessing Necklace had the attribute of +1 to all skills, which saved him a lot of potential points.
"Looks like I have to find time to upgrade this equipment to Bronze Quality. Killing 100 Lord-tier Bosses is quite simple, but it's a little troublesome to find the Bosses. Unfortunately, I have to kill high-level Mutated Bosses to exchange for Bobo Coins. Otherwise, I can use the Lord-tier blood to farm some Lord-tier Bosses. Now, it seems that I can only put it aside for the time being."
After learning a few attribute enhancement skills, Lin Bei still had 55 potential points left. He felt like he had too many to use.
Lin Bei thought for a moment and went to the skill book shop to buy two Level 15 Priest skill books and a Decomposition Spell. He upgraded all three skills to Level 5.
Finally, he strengthened the Source of Magic Strength, Full of Vigor, and Swift Movement he had learned previously to Level 5.
Even so, he still had more than 40 potential points left!

After learning the skills, Lin Bei spent another 100 gold coins to buy an Identification Scroll from the shop and took out the Obsidian equipment that had been dropped from killing the King-tier Boss, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic.
Tainted Blood Magic Blade (Lv. 30, Obsidian-grade). Attribute: Unidentified.
Lin Bei directly used the Identification Scroll.
You have used an Identification Scroll!
Identification successful! You have obtained the Tainted Blood Magic Blade +5 (Lv.30, Obsidian Level)!
"My luck is not bad! I actually directly got a +5 enhanced equipment! Looks like the 7 points of luck on me are still very powerful!"
Lin Bei smiled.
To be honest, after being reborn, he had never seen the attributes of Obsidian-grade equipment!
Lin Bei looked at the Tainted Blood Magic Blade with anticipation.
57 Tainted Blood Magic Blade! Can That Man Beat the Top 500?
—-|—-
Tainted Blood Magic Blade +5 (Lv.30)
Quality: Obsidian Level

3. Attack Range +10
4. Attack Range +10

7. Casting Speed +50%
"As expected of Obsidian equipment! Be it its attributes or special effects, it's better than Diamond equipment!"
Lin Bei looked at the attributes of the Tainted Blood Magic Blade and his eyes lit up. "Moreover, after the weapon was strengthened to Level 5, the basic attributes of the equipment increased by 50%. Just the attack power increase alone is 7,500 points!"
"With other bonuses, when I reach Level 30, my combat strength will definitely increase to another level!"
There was also the special effect of +20 attack range, allowing his ordinary attacks to release Saber Qi and cover an area of 20 meters. It was extremely obvious for the increase in his strength.
Moreover, the Tainted Blood Magic Blade provided a 95% attack speed increase. Originally, he could slash three times a second. Now, he could slash six times a second!
In addition, there was also a high increase in movement speed and spellcasting speed. In short, just the Obsidian weapon could increase his attributes completely!
"Unfortunately, I'm still five levels away. Looks like I have to work harder!"
Lin Bei thought to himself. He took out the Class Advancement Treasure Chest that the system had just rewarded him and opened it.
Successfully opened the Class Advancement Treasure Chest!
Congratulations on obtaining Random Skill Scroll x1!
Congratulations on obtaining Random Talent Scroll x1!
"It's actually a Random Scroll!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. Random Skill Scroll and Random Talent Scroll. As the name suggested, after using them, one could obtain a random skill and talent.
Of course, this depended on his luck. If he was lucky, he might obtain a Level S talent and high-level skills. If he was unlucky, he might obtain a Level 1 skill book, and it was not related to his profession. As for talent, he might obtain the trashiest Level F talent.
"I have 7 points of luck. It shouldn't be bad."
Lin Bei looked at his Luck attribute, but after some consideration, he did not choose to use them. He put the scrolls into his backpack.
Although 7 points of luck did not seem low, in Lin Bei's opinion, it was not enough!
In his previous life, the number of Random Scrolls was extremely rare and precious.
If Lin Bei wanted to obtain a powerful talent and high-level skill that was suitable for him, he was still far from it with his current 7 points of luck!
"In my previous life, Traceless Sword used a Random Skill Scroll to activate a Limit Surpassing Skill. At that time, his Luck was 20 points, so… I have to at least ensure that my Luck is higher than his before opening the Random Skill Scroll. This way, my chances are higher!"
Limit Surpassing Skill was a skill one level higher than Limit Breaking Skill!
Be it its power or the effect of the skill, it would definitely crush the Limit Breaking Skill!
In his previous life, Traceless Sword was able to rely on his Level S talent to fight the Longevity Sword, who had a Level SSS talent, for six rounds without losing. It was all thanks to that powerful Limit Surpassing Skill!
Therefore, Lin Bei yearned to have a Limit Surpassing Skill!
20 points of luck might be out of reach for others, but it was not especially difficult for Lin Bei.
First of all, every 20 levels, he would receive 2 points of luck (an additional 100% attribute Buff). In addition, Elena's Blessing Necklace could also increase his luck.
Therefore, as long as he leveled up quickly and upgraded Elena's Blessing Necklace as soon as possible, 20 points of luck was actually not far from him!
"I'll keep these two Random Scrolls first and use them later! As for now… I'll go to the Duel Space and complete the profession trial mission first!"
Speaking of which, he had yet to learn any profession skills. Although an SSS-rank profession was strong, the cost of learning skills was not small. The learning of every skill required a proof of strength, and the worst required a King's Insignia. The King's Insignia was a special item that could only be obtained by first killing a King-tier Boss. He had one on him before, but he had already used it, so if he wanted to learn profession skills now, he could only complete the profession trial mission issued by Alina.
Professional Trial Mission
Mission Details: Within 24 hours, obtain the title of the top 500 of the Space Dueling Ground.
Mission Reward: Level 20 professional exclusive skill.
Punishment for failure: decrease of Alina's fondness.
Glancing at the mission requirements, Lin Bei opened the combat space and entered the Duel Tavern.
You have entered Grandmaster Tavern 003!
As soon as Lin Bei appeared, he attracted the attention of many players in the tavern.
"Eh, look, isn't he the Combat Priest who became popular on the forum recently?"
"Damn, it seems to be true! Impressive. It's only been a day and a half, but he's already Level 25? Looks like he's completed his profession advancement! I wonder what the profession advancement is. Is it powerful?"
"There aren't many professions that Priests can advance to. I saw his previous PK videos and I think he will most likely choose the Judgment Class."
"I think so too. I've seen his PK videos. He's definitely a pro. At the very least, he's much more powerful than me, a noob who's hovering around 4,000 points. I wonder if he's better than the big shots in the top 500."
"What are you thinking about! Top 500? They're top-notch big shots! Even if this Combat Priest is a pro, which one of the top 500 isn't? Moreover, not only are their fingers deft, but their consciousness is also top-notch. Moreover, he has only just advanced for the first time. It would be strange if he can defeat them!"
"But… what if? Previously, he single-handedly challenged the former WWL professional player, Deity Gou!"
"Are you kidding? I watched Deity Gou's match too. It's obvious that Deity Gou went easy on him. Moreover, Deity Gou was clearly not serious at that time. That man was just lucky. Besides, Deity Gou is not in the top 500. His ranking is only in the top 10,000. Compared to the top big shots in the top 500, the difference is huge! Therefore, being able to defeat Deity Gou doesn't mean anything!"
"Damn, what you said makes sense! But I just think he can win! Damn it, don't you think it's strange?"
"Heh, what's wrong with that? You just like to take chances! It's very normal! Why don't we make a bet?"
"Alright, but I'll only bet 10 gold coins. Is that too much?"
"Alright!"
The two of them spoke one after another, quickly attracting the bored players in the tavern. They leaned forward and joined the bet.
Of course, other than the guy who believed in luck that bet 10 gold coins on that man, everyone else bet on the other side.
"Damn, don't be like this. I'm a little flustered."
"Why are you panicking? The winner takes all. What are you afraid of?"
"But at least follow me. It's just a token of appreciation!"
"Brother, stop fooling around. Let's not talk about whether this Combat Priest can make it to the top 500. It's a question if he can be matched to the top 500. Therefore, you might have lost from the beginning. You have to bet first if he can be matched to the top 500 before thinking of anything else!"
"Damn! You tricked me!"
"No, you opened the bet yourself. Our brothers are just doing it for fun. Moreover, you didn't bet much. It's only 10 gold coins. Killing a high-level Lord Boss is enough."
"Alright, you guys are ruthless!"
The swordsman who had bet on Lin Bei gritted his teeth and gave up.
Match successful! The battle will begin in 30 seconds!
Information of the opponent: Balala Fairy (Lv.80, Ice and Fire Mage, 4,088 points, Winning Rate: 59.8%)
Soon, the match began!
The opponent was a cute girl with big eyes. Just as she was about to smile and greet her opponent, her vision suddenly darkened and she fell to the ground.
You've lost! Winner: Inner Peace!
In less than two seconds, Lin Bei easily won!
Currently, his Magic Attack was as high as 12,500 points. Coupled with various Buffs, a Discipline Spell dealt millions of points of damage. It was not something players could withstand at this stage.
Unless it was a top-notch expert who used top-notch operations like blocking and dodging to avoid damage, otherwise… there was no way out!
Next round!
Lin Bei did not stop and continued to match.
Just like that, one match after another, he quickly obtained another 10 consecutive wins.
"Sigh, my winning streak is too high. The matching speed has slowed down."
In the tavern, Lin Bei looked helpless.
There was nothing he could do about it. He could only wait patiently.
Ten minutes of matchmaking and three seconds of battle. That was him.
"You… you're that Combat Priest from just now! You're so heartless! I clearly just wanted to greet you. Why did you attack first! You… don't care about morals!"
Suddenly, a petite figure ran up to him. Her face was red and she looked at him with big eyes.
"…"
Lin Bei was a little speechless. This is the ranking game. We're not familiar with each other. Who knows if you're playing dirty tricks and buying time to cast a spell against me?
In his previous life, this kind of thing was common.
Therefore, Lin Bei was not interested in responding to those who came up to greet him. He started fighting and spoke with his strength.
"Why aren't you saying anything!"
"…"
Lin Bei thought about it and felt that he should say something to comfort her.
He took a step forward and was about to speak.
Swoosh!
A white light descended and his body entered the arena.
Match successful! The battle will begin in 30 seconds!
Opponent Information: I'm So Scared (Lv.86, Ghost Archer No.498, 4,788 points, Winning Rate: 75.6%)
Top 500!
When Lin Bei saw his opponent's information, his eyes lit up!
He had finally met an opponent in the top 500!
This time, he finally did not have to be bored!
Although the guy was only at the bottom of the top 500 contestants, he was much stronger than the other Grandmaster contestants!
At the same time, I'm So Scared also saw Lin Bei's information.
"Wow, I'm so touched. Did the system specially send me warmth after seeing that I've failed for five rounds in a row!"
I'm So Scared smiled brightly. The gloominess in his heart because of the continuous failures was instantly swept away.
Level 25… Prince Charming of War?
Haha, this profession name looked like it was just for show!
However… He actually obtained 20 consecutive wins! It seemed that his operation was not simple.
Could he be the Combat Priest that someone in the team had mentioned before?
Indeed, he had some skills!
"However, you can only consider yourself unlucky to have met me!"
I'm So Scared grinned and said, "Your winning streak is too smooth. This makes me, who has failed five times in a row, feel very uncomfortable. Looks like I have to teach you a good lesson!"
Time's up! Battle begins!
Swoosh!
The two of them instantly descended into a dark forest.
A huge battle was about to break out!
58 Top 500! (1)
Looking at the surroundings, I'm So Scared grinned.
What is luck?
This is called luck!
What's my best map?
It is the swamp forest!
Haha, this time, it's really the right time and place. If I can't deal with a conceited player who's been praised to the skies, how can I face others in the future?
He might as well dig a hole and bury himself!
First of all, his Ghost Archer profession was a powerful A-rank Archer profession! Moreover, his profession talent was Shadow. He could hide in all shadows. Moreover, after leaving the shadows, his next attack could carry 100% physical penetration!
Other than that, his initial talent was Unlimited Sliding. After every ordinary attack, he could choose any direction to quickly move 30 meters. Coupled with his Shadow talent, he was simply a god among gods in PK!
I slip and slide, hide in the shadows, slip and slide again… Repeating. Hey, it's just fun!
His kiting strategy was invincible!
Moreover, his opponent was a Level 25 Priest!
As soon as the competition started, I'm So Scared instantly hid in the shadows under the forest and moved quickly to find Lin Bei.
However, after circling around for a minute, he could not even find a thing!
"Damn, where is he!"
I'm So Scared raised his eyebrows. He had searched this swamp forest three to five times, but he could not find anyone!
"Could it be that he has a stealth technique like me? That's not right, he isn't an assassin! Wait! Could it be that… he used an alchemy potion? Damn, that's sinister! That must be the case! He must have used a stealth potion!"
I'm So Scared came to a realization. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "This is too despicable. It's just a competition, but he actually took pills the moment he came up. How shameless."
However… a small Stealth Spell was not difficult for him!
"Ghost Eye Detection!"
Suddenly, his eyes turned red, and everything around him became extremely clear.
Found it!
Soon, I'm So Scared saw Lin Bei squatting on the treetop. Then, he immediately adjusted his position and came behind the tree. He broke the concealment and drew his bow in one go. The entire process took less than half a second!
Whoosh!
The arrow flew towards Lin Bei's back like a meteor.
Die! Hehe!
This arrow had a 100% physical penetration effect. Once hit, it could ignore defense and cause damage.
That kid was not even Level 30. After taking this arrow, he would definitely die!
However, out of habit, after shooting the Concealment Breaking Arrow, I'm So Scared still took the opportunity to slide sideways and hide in the shadows.
"Hehe, my maneuvers will definitely crush this kid! I'm afraid… this kid won't even know how I killed him until he dies, right? Sigh… so pitiful."
I'm So Scared grinned and looked up at the treetops, waiting for victory to descend.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, Lin Bei, who had his back facing the arrow, suddenly turned around and blocked the arrow at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, his arm shook, and the arrow immediately changed direction and flew towards a shadow in the distance!
Perfect block!
Lin Bei could tell the location from the sound and quickly blocked and counterattacked. He was not injured at all!
Whoosh!
The arrow turned into a wisp of dim light and entered the shadow at an even faster speed.
"Damn! How did you do it? This doesn't make sense!"
In the shadows, I'm So Scared was forced out by the blocked and counterattacking arrow. He cursed in shock and raised his hand to shoot another arrow. At the same time, he slid 30 meters away and hid in the shadows.
Lin Bei casually blocked it and the arrow shot out again, falling into the shadows in the distance.
"Damn!"
A figure quickly darted out and scrambled. His face was covered in dust and he was in a sorry state.
How did he do it?
Damn it, it was fine if he blocked the attack, but he actually reflected his arrow back!
Moreover, the first arrow was even more ridiculous!
The other party clearly did not discover his location!
But!
Not only did the other party block his sneak attack arrow, but the man also counterattacked and forced him out!
This operation was simply inhumane!
Did he have eyes on the back of his head?
He was not human!
In that case, he had no chance at all!
Originally, he had relied on his talent to survive on the edge of the top 500. If he was lucky, he would directly kite some short-legged professions to death!
If he was unlucky, he would not survive for more than a minute.
But now?
He was really indignant!
The other party was not even Level 30… Prince Charming of War? He had actually crippled his specialty!
It was really intolerable!
Alright, you like to block, right?
Then I'll let you block as much as you want!
"Bewitching Ghost Fog!"
"Ghostly Rain of Arrows!"
In just an instant, I'm So Scared quickly reacted. He released Ghost Fog first to block the opponent's vision and quickly released a rain of arrows to attack. This way, the opponent's vision was blocked, and it was almost impossible to block!
"Hmph, my Ghostly Rain of Arrows has 100 arrows! Moreover, every arrow can cause 100% physical damage! Even if you're lucky enough to block a few, you'll still die under the bombardment of the rain of arrows!"
I'm So Scared crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking like he was confident of winning.
Now, he was only waiting for his opponent to die and he would win.
"Sigh, although my methods are a little cruel, I'm teaching you a lesson. Can you really do whatever you want with a winning streak? You're thinking too much!"
59 Top 500! (2)
I'm So Scared smiled brightly and looked at the rain of arrows falling from the fog, muttering, "You're a little inexperienced. You have to know that in a high-end game, other than skill level, there's another key thing! That's the combination of skills!"
"How to make a skill gain an effect of 1+1 greater than 2 is a profound topic! Even I'm only at the initial level. It's not an area that a little Priest who hasn't even reached Level 30 and hasn't learned many skills can touch!"
I'm So Scared put away his bow and arrows, turned around, and waved his hand. A black talisman flew out.
"Ghost Shadow Talisman! Explode!"
Real men never looked back at explosions!
Winning or losing was only for a moment, but being awesome was for a lifetime!
"Hehe, you're not bad at the bottom. Although your skill level is a little bad, the combination and use of your skills are quite interesting! Do you want to consider joining our team? I'll teach you a lesson! Now, take this!"
At this moment, a chuckle sounded, but… the direction was not behind him!
Instead… it was above his head!
Oh no!
I'm So Scared changed his expression. He quickly raised his hand and shot an arrow. Then, he slipped away.
"Hehe, I was waiting for this move of yours!"
In midair, Lin Bei did not release an attack with his Limit Magic Staff. Instead, he made a feint and waited for the other party to slip away in panic before releasing a Discipline Spell. It hit I'm So Scared, who was still dodging with a slide.
This talent effect seemed powerful. After every ordinary attack, he could choose to slide 30 meters in any direction, but it had a fatal flaw!
That was, he could not change his direction during the slide. This way, wouldn't he be like a live target if he encountered someone with a fast reaction?
"He doesn't have Agility Breakthrough, but he still dares to use a skill that has such a long backswing. He really deserves to be at the bottom!"
Lin Bei sighed and shook his head. "Alright, I've already sent you my information. I'll contact you later. Today, I'll teach you the wonderful use of fake movements. If you can join my team, I can teach you how to distinguish position and block based on sound like I did just now!"
BOOM!
Discipline Spell landed. I'm So Scared, who was still sliding, wanted to block, but the sliding was not over. He could not adjust his movements at all and could only watch helplessly as Discipline Spell landed on the top of his head.
You have been defeated! Victor: Inner Peace!
"Damn, this game can actually be played like this? Damn!"
After withdrawing from the competition, I'm So Scared still stood rooted to the ground, feeling extremely shocked.
Just a simple feint had broken his life-saving divine skill!
Wasn't this Combat Priest too awesome?
Initially, when he heard the other party say that he was at the bottom, he was still unconvinced. However, now that he thought about the details of the battle just now, he was really useless!
"Oh right! He said that I can join his team! That blocking technique called sound detection… is too awesome! He's so awesome. I won't be human if I don't learn it!"
When I'm So Scared came back to his senses, he immediately went to sign up.
Who cared about the team? It was just a casual competition. He did not take it to heart at all!
The key was to be awesome!
Being awesome was the way to go!
On the other side, Lin Bei defeated his opponent in the top 500 and directly replaced his ranking and points. His ranking increased to No.498.
This was the setting of Second World's Duel Space. All players who were not in the top 500 could directly replace the other party's points and ranking after defeating the top 500 opponents.
Of course, this benefit was only for players who were not in the top 500. If it was a battle between the top 500 players, the winner would get as many points as he was supposed to. There would be no bias.
…
In Grandmaster Tavern No. 003, Balala Fairy stomped her feet in anger when she saw Lin Bei suddenly disappear. Then, she saw that someone seemed to be opening the betting pool. Out of curiosity, she went up.
After learning what happened, she hesitated for a moment and bet 100 gold coins on Lin Bei.
This time, the others were dumbfounded.
Especially the swordsman player who had bet 10 gold coins on Lin Bei. He even advised, "Little girl, this Combat Priest is only Level 25. You have to think carefully! My 10 gold coins is nothing, but this is 100 gold coins. It's worth 10,000 Ocean Blue coins! Don't be rash!"
"Hey, bro, you're not being kind! If you don't bet, then don't bet. Why do you care if others bet or not? Everyone has bet a total of more than 5,000 gold coins. How can you not add stakes! How can 10 gold coins be enough to split!" 𝚋𝚎d𝚗ov𝚎𝚕.co𝚖
A fierce-looking Berserker said fiercely.
"But…"
The swordsman player wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Balala Fairy. She smiled at everyone. "It's fine. I won't take back the bet!"
"That's more like it! Miss, you're right!"
Hearing this, the Berserker gave up and went to the side to drink.
"Little girl, you…"
"Brother Swordsman, didn't you bet 10 gold coins on him too? I only bet a little. It's fine. Besides, what if he wins?"
"This… Alright, as long as you can think it through."
The swordsman shrugged and stopped persuading her.
Alright, it turned out that she was a rich young lady. 100 gold coins was a small sum? That was 10,000 Ocean Blue coins! Many people could not earn so much in a month! As for winning?
Forget it!
To be honest, he regretted it now.
However, who asked him to start the bet at the beginning?
"Fortunately, I only bet 10 gold coins. It's just a small loss."
However, at this moment, an announcement resounded in the sky!
Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Inner Peace for becoming the world's top 500! Obtained the title of the top 500! Obtained the right to enter the Peak Tavern! As the first Heavenly Might Server player to become the world's top 500, he has obtained a mysterious reward!
"This… Am I hallucinating?"
The swordsman player was dumbfounded. He dug his ears and opened the System notification bar. After reading it a few times, he was completely dumbfounded.
Damn, it was actually true?!
This… He had won so much this round!
10 gold coins turned into 500 gold coins!
That was 50,000 Ocean Blue coins!
Damn! I've made a killing!
Balala Fairy's lips curled up slightly as she extended her small hand. "Brother Swordsman, give me the money!"
"Ah? Oh! Okay! I'll be right there! Hahaha!"
The swordsman laughed. The surrounding people, especially the Berserker, had a depressed expression, as if he was constipated.
…
In the Heavenly Might Server, not long after everyone came back to their senses from the server announcement of Inner Peace's first class advancement, another deafening system notification sounded in the sky.
Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Inner Peace for becoming the world's top 500! Obtained the title of the top 500! Obtained the right to enter the Peak Tavern! As the first Heavenly Might Server player to become the world's top 500, he has obtained a mysterious reward!
"It's him again! Damn!"
"He's already in the top 500? Isn't this too awesome? It's simply cheating!"
"Inner Peace! Greatest Of All Time!"
"Don't stop me! From now on, Inner Peace will be my big brother! And he's my forever big brother!"
"Pfft, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? With your trashy equipment, I'm not even willing to acknowledge you as my younger brother!"
"Are you courting death? Are you so great with your Bronze equipment? I'll get my brother to kill you!"
"F*ck you, you have a brother, but don't I? Brothers, attack! Kill him together!"
…
Unlike many solo players, the ten major guilds scattered in different novice villages in the Heavenly Might Server finally could not sit still after hearing this system announcement.
"No! We can't let him develop anymore! This Heavenly Might Server doesn't belong to him alone! We have to think of a way to unite everyone! We have to resolve this hidden danger!"
"Damn it! It's him again! I heard that he established a guild in the Holy Light Village? Moreover, he monopolized the only Instance Dungeon in the entire server! He even killed all the people we sent over! Damn it!"
"I have to go to the headquarters! Let's see how the president arranges it!"
"This Inner Peace… Interesting!"
"The president said that Divine Descent won't participate in their competition. We just have to develop in peace!"
"…"
…
Holy Light Village, Azure Plume Guild.
In the guild channel, everyone was excited.
Top 500!
Their guild leader! In less than two days after the server opened, he had become the top 500!
Today!
60 My Name Is Not Cao Fei! Duel Vest!
The guild channel was extremely lively.
Green Collar: "Our guild leader is so awesome! Everyone, work hard to clear dungeons and level up as soon as possible!"
Unparalleled Plume: "Little ones, follow me to the forum to post. Let's build momentum for our guild leader!"
Turkey-flavored rice crust: "Roar!"
Cao Fei Apollo: "Previous poster, can you say less? Aren't you embarrassed that others keep misreading your name?"
Turkey-flavored Rice Crust: "Big Boss Cao Fei, I think you're good at PK! When will you get into the top 500?"
Cao Fei Apollo: "Damn you! Also, my name is not Cao Fei!"
Shallow: "Cao Fei is so cute."
Cao Fei Apollo: "…"
Chen Changsheng gloomily closed the guild channel. At this moment, he somewhat regretted picking this name. Right now, everyone in the guild called him "Cao Fei", making him extremely speechless.
He wanted to f*ck someone else, not himself!
"No, I have to reach Level 20 quickly. I can change my name at Level 20. I have to hurry up and level up!"
Currently, in the entire guild, other than Lin Bei, he was the highest level. He was already Level 15. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to reach Level 20 in another day and advance his profession.
With an indifferent expression, Chen Changsheng began to solo the Nightmare-level Instance Dungeon.
With his current strength and level, it was just right to clear this dungeon.
However, he was a little frustrated because even with his Level S talent and a full set of Silver equipment, it would take him nearly half an hour to clear a Nightmare-level dungeon at the fastest.
However, in front of the stone tablet at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon, he saw that it only took Inner Peace 1 minute and 59 seconds!
Was he even human?!
Compared to him, Chen Changsheng felt that he had been dealt a blow. Every time he farmed dungeons, he would use all his skills. Moreover, as he farmed monsters, he did not forget to recall his previous battle with Lin Bei and summarize the latter's maneuvers. Besides, he would apply what he had learned and constantly temper himself!
"To be honest, this movement technique is indeed powerful! It's at least 30% more efficient than my initial efficiency. This is only the beginning of training. If I become familiar with it, my dodging efficiency will increase by at least 50%!"
Chen Changsheng faintly smiled and continued to immerse himself in farming monsters.
There was a training competition in the club tonight. He had to train hard and shock everyone!
…
In the Duel Space, Lin Bei, who had advanced to the top 500, returned to Grandmaster Tavern 003.
As soon as he appeared, everyone applauded.
Lin Bei smiled and nodded at everyone, preparing to leave the Duel Space.
He had already completed the Professional Trial Mission. The most important thing now was to go back and learn skills. As for the newly opened Peak Tavern, he was not interested in going there now. If he went, he would just stare blankly. The servers were not combined yet, and the teleportation passage to Peak Tavern had yet to open, so there was no point in going there for the time being.
Speaking of the combination of servers, it was actually a main storyline mission for all servers. From Server 1 to Server 9, every server would be involved!
"But it's still early. If I remember correctly, that mission was only opened half a year after the Heavenly Might Server was opened. It's still too early to think about this."
Lin Bei thought to himself, "Moreover, half a year is enough for me to develop. With my help, Azure Plume Guild can also grow. There's no need to worry too much. However, this mission… In my previous life, no one could complete it. This time… I wonder if I have a chance. Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I'll think about it when the time comes."
Glancing at the message bar, other than many congratulatory messages, there were only private messages from Cao Fei Apollo who demanded a fight with him. Lin Bei ignored them.
He did not have time to train this guy now. Moreover, he had already used some techniques in the previous battle. If this kid had some comprehension, these things would be enough for him to train in the next few days.
"Hey, these gold coins are for you!"
At this moment, a petite girl in a mage robe came in front of Lin Bei and gave him 2,500 gold coins.
It was Lin Bei's turn to be stunned.
Good lord, why was she giving him gold coins?
Moreover, the servers were not combined yet, and these gold coins were not produced by the Heavenly Might Server, so there was no way to bring them back. Other than spending them in the tavern, they were useless. To him, this was really useless.
However, he could not say anything since the girl had given them to him for free.
"When they opened the bet, I bet that you would win, so I won some gold coins. Forget what happened. We're even now!"
Balala Fairy smiled.
"What happened? What is it?"
Lin Bei was stunned and asked subconsciously.
But as soon as he said it, he reacted.
Wasn't this little girl the one who thought that he was rude to insta-kill her?
Damn, she's actually still waiting for me here?
No, I have to go!
At that moment, he threw the money bag containing 2,500 gold coins back and left the Duel Space at the speed of light.
He did not want to be entangled with this little girl. If he had the time, he could kill a few more Mutated Bosses and exchange them for a few Bobo Coins!
Wasn't it better than debating here?
Right! I haven't killed the Mutated Bosses today! When I learn the advanced profession skills, I'll kill a few Mutated Bosses!
Otherwise, if the skill does not cool down, I would lose a lot of Bobo Coins in a day.
"You!"
Balala Fairy stomped her feet in anger.
She just wanted to chat with him for a while, but who knew that he would run away as if he had seen a ghost!
I'm so angry!
Heavenly Might Server, right?
I don't believe I can't find you!
Just you wait!
Balala Fairy went offline.
…
On the other side, Lin Bei, who had left the Duel Space, returned to the Temple Square.
"By the way, I think I was rewarded with something after entering the top 500. I forgot to see what it was!"
Lin Bei opened his backpack. It was a pink elastic vest with a huge heart pattern on it.
Duel Vest (True Love): Special equipment. After wearing it, you can propose a duel to your opponent. Duel: Force a 1v1 battle to the death. The party who dies will receive ten times the death penalty! Punishment of Love: Exclusive death penalty. After killing the target, the target's random attribute will lose 5 points.
It was actually a Duel Vest!
Lin Bei was dumbfounded. In his previous life, he had heard of this special equipment. However, in his previous life, he had heard that the Duel Vest was black, and the exclusive death penalty was the equipment drop penalty. The owner was a top-notch Assassin at that time, "Uninterested". He had heard that this kid used this vest to kill and rob people everywhere. He did well. In the end, he angered the ten major guilds and was jointly wanted by them. In the end, he disappeared.
However, Lin Bei did not expect to obtain a Duel Vest in this life!
"Fortunately, I can wear it inside. Otherwise… cough cough."
Lin Bei put on the Duel Vest and checked it carefully. When he realized that the vest was tightly covered by his robe, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect there to be more than one Duel Vest! I wonder how many there are in total. If I can gather a set, will I trigger something similar to a set skill?"
Lin Bei shook his head. Who cares? It was good enough to have one.
With this Duel Vest, he could kill people and erase their attributes!
"It's best if no one provokes me. Otherwise… I don't mind giving them a 0 attribute package!"
Lin Bei put away his backpack and walked towards the Light Temple behind the Temple Square.
He was going to learn a Level 20 exclusive skill from Alina. To be honest, he was also looking forward to how powerful the exclusive skill of an SSS-rank hidden profession would be.
…
At this moment, the branch guild leaders of the various large guilds in the Heavenly Might Server had already gathered together and began to discuss the extermination plan against Inner Peace.
Meanwhile, Azure Plume Guild was gradually on the right track under the joint management of Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume. Every guild member was given their own equipment and began to form teams to clear Dungeons. Lin Bei also gave them some small tricks to clear Dungeons. With these tricks, all the guild members' levels quickly increased.
Azure Plume Guild already had more than 1,000 players above Level 10!
The remaining 2,000 people would probably all reach Level 10 in another day at most!
One had to know that in other novice villages, it was already not bad to have a Level 10 player now!
This was the transformation of Azure Plume Guild after Lin Bei joined!
Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume both believed that this was only the beginning.
When most of the guild members reached Level 20, they could establish their own territory and truly take the first step of becoming a commercial guild!
At that time, Azure Plume would become the strongest guild in the entire Heavenly Might Server!
They believed that this day would not be long!
…
"What? You said the Light Guardian isn't here?"
At the entrance of the Light Temple, Lin Bei was stunned.
This shouldn't be the case. He clearly remembered Alina saying that she would stay in Green Mountain City for the next few days. How could she have disappeared?
Damn, I still want to learn skills!
Lin Bei was a little depressed.
"I'm sorry, the Guardian… just left."
"Then when will she be back?"
"I don't know."
The Holy Knight was helpless, but he still answered truthfully.
"Do you have a way to contact her?"
"This… Yes, but the Guardian has just left. Do you think…"
"I'm her personal disciple. Contact her directly. Tell her that I completed her trial mission and came to submit the mission. She won't blame you."
Lin Bei patted the Holy Knight's shoulder and comforted him.
"Well… okay."
The Holy Knight nodded with a bitter expression. He took out a golden token and injected a thought into it.
…
In an empty abyss, Alina was looking for the Blood Demon Clan.
Suddenly, a golden token phantom appeared in front of her.
Alina directly crushed the token phantom, and the fragment turned into a message that entered her ears.
When she received the news, her body stiffened slightly and she was stunned for a moment.
"…"
Alina was silent for a moment. She looked at the endless abyss under her feet and sighed. She turned into a meteor and disappeared into the endless darkness.
She originally thought that the kid would have to suffer a lot to complete the trial mission this time, but who would have thought… As soon as she left, he would complete the mission and return!
It was so fast that even she, who believed that she was always calm, almost could not hold it in.
"I didn't expect that I would actually make a mistake."
Alina sighed and thought to herself, "Perhaps… he can really become a turning point? Forget it, I'll observe him for a while longer. The Abyss… is about to descend."
…
While Lin Bei was looking forward to it, a crack appeared in the sky. Alina crossed the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye, arriving in front of Lin Bei.
"Not bad. It's a little faster than I expected."
Elena nodded at Lin Bei and said, "Follow me. I'll bring you to activate your exclusive skill."
"Good!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up.
Was it finally coming?
It was the exclusive skill of an SSS-rank hidden profession!
He was so looking forward to it!
61 The Abyss Is Coming! Fondness System!
Lin Bei followed Elena into the Light Temple.
After passing through the dazzling hall and walking along the golden corridor to the end, he arrived at the backyard.
In the corner of the backyard was an elegant house. Elena pushed open the door and led Lin Bei into the house.
Whoosh—
Golden light spread out, and the scene in front of Lin Bei changed. He appeared in a sea of flowers.
"So it's here!"
Lin Bei came back to his senses. Elena had brought him here before, but he did not expect this to be the interior space of an elegant hut.
"What's your real name?"
Elena suddenly asked.
"Ah? Inner Peace."
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment before answering subconsciously.
"That's just the code name given by the world's will when you descended into this world. What I'm asking is your name in your original world."
Alina asked seriously.
"Well…"
Lin Bei was a little stunned and did not dare to speak.
These Extraordinary NPCs… felt a little strange.
Her intelligence level was completely the same as a real person. If you didn't say that this was a game, no one would suspect that she wasn't a real person.
"If you're unwilling to say it, don't force yourself."
Alina shook her head. "Actually, it's not important. I just think that since we can be considered master and disciple, in the future, there will be some things that we have to face together. Since you still don't trust me, don't force yourself. As for the rest, we'll talk about it in the future."
"However, you have to remember one thing. Don't easily provoke other Extraordinary lifeforms."
Alina's expression turned solemn. "Extraordinary lifeforms… are existences that have transcended. Even the will of the world can't easily kill them. Moreover, every Extraordinary lifeform has at least one type of transcendent power. With your Descended ones' strength, even if everyone attacks together, you'll have no chance of winning! Remember!"
"I understand!"
Lin Bei nodded.
Of course, he knew how powerful these Extraordinary NPCs were. In his previous life, there were people who did not believe that, but in the end, they were all crippled.
Among these people, there was no lack of top players.
Lin Bei knew his current strength. How could he easily provoke these extraordinary NPCs?
"Very good. In addition, I'll tell you something else. In a month, the Abyss will descend. You might not know what this means, but I can tell you that this will be a disaster for everyone in the Heavenly Might Continent!"
Alina said solemnly, "So, I ask you for a favor. Save my sister Elena before the Abyss descends! Her strength… can weaken the devouring power of the Abyss. With her around, we have a chance of winning!"
"Abyss is descending? In a month?!"
Damn it, was there a mistake?!
Lin Bei cursed in his heart.
What was going on? Wasn't it supposed to be half a year before the combination of servers?
Why had it been shortened to a month?
Abyss Descent was the main storyline mission of the servers that had been activated before the combination of servers in his previous life!
After the mission, the nine servers would fuse. Then, higher-level map areas would be unlocked. All the players would truly rise after the server combination!
Originally, according to Lin Bei's memories, this happened half a year later. be𝚍𝚗ove𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝
But now, it was directly brought forward by five months!
This was a little troublesome.
If he was alone, he would not be afraid. However, the key was that he had the Azure Plume Guild behind him!
"I'm in trouble."
Lin Bei frowned and fell into deep thought.
His mind raced as he thought about how to quickly increase the strength of the Azure Plume Guild players in a short month to the level of other server players.
However, after thinking about it, there was only one conclusion—impossible!
"Looks like I have to save Elena as soon as possible. Since Alina said that her sister's power can weaken the power of the Abyss, there's still hope!"
Lin Bei thought to himself and looked up at Alina. He nodded and said seriously, "Leave this to me. I'll definitely do my best to save her!"
"Thank you!"
Elena smiled when she heard this. It was like ice and snow melting, and flowers blooming in spring.
Alina's Fondness +20! Current Fondness: 21 (Average Acquaintance)
You have activated the NPC Fondness System. If you increase their Fondness, you might have an unexpected gain!
"Eh?"
Lin Bei was stunned. He had never heard of this Fondness system.
Moreover, did every NPC have these Fondness points?
Or… could it be that only Extraordinary NPCs had a Fondness system?
Your Fondness with Alina has increased to "Average Acquaintance"!
"This is an Avatar Talisman I refined myself. Although it's only a tenth of my main body's strength, if you encounter some unfriendly Extraordinary lifeforms, you can use it to block them."
A golden light flashed in Elena's hand, and a talisman covered in mysterious symbols appeared.
"Thank you!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. He hurriedly took the talisman and looked at its attributes. He was even more excited.
Alina's Combat Clone Talisman: After using it, summon a combat clone of Alina. Its strength is one-tenth of the main body. Duration: 10 minutes.
"Good stuff!"
Lin Bei's breathing was a little rapid as he thought to himself, "I wonder if the effect of my talent can affect the duration of the Clone Talisman. If it can… I'll make a killing!"
Lin Bei suppressed the thought of using the Clone Talisman. He only had one Clone Talisman and it was a life-saving method. Unless it was necessary, he would not use it easily, let alone use it for experiments.
What if the talent effect was useless?
Wouldn't he cry to death?
"I'd better keep it to save my life."
Lin Bei thought to himself and put away the Clone Talisman.
With this and the Random Teleportation Scroll he had bought from Goblin Merchant Bobo, he was confident that he could escape even if he encountered an Extraordinary NPC.
"Alright, let's not talk anymore. You only have a month. You have to increase your strength as soon as possible! Now, I'll teach you all the Level 20 skills of the War God profession. There are a total of three. Watch carefully."
"Three? Aren't there two?"
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment. The previous professional trial mission had mentioned that after completing the trial, he could obtain two professional skills.
"Previously, I planned to teach you two, but now that the situation has changed and your talent has exceeded my expectations, I plan to teach you all three skills."
Alina said, "We War Gods master Judgment, War, and Healing at the same time. What I'm good at is war. Of course, you can choose your direction of development according to your ability. If you're strong enough, it's not impossible to choose all of them! Of course, as your profession advances, the future path will become more and more difficult. You have to be prepared in advance! Now, I'll teach you the Level 20 exclusive skills of the War God profession!"
Three extremely dense energy pillars of light rose from Elena's body at the same time. Then, they quickly compressed into three dazzling crystals that floated in the air.
"Those are exclusive skill crystals. After you absorb them, you can use professional exclusive skills."
Alina explained, "Remember, the War God can learn three exclusive skills every 10 levels. They represent Judgment, War, and Healing Power respective. As for what you choose, it's up to you."
"Alright, I'm going to the Abyss to investigate the Blood Demon Prison. I'll leave the rest of the matter to you!"
Alina said in a deep voice, "If you encounter anything that can't be resolved, you can come and find me. This is a direct audio rune. Keep it well!"
As she spoke, Alina took out a green rune and handed it to Lin Bei.
Lin Bei took the talisman and felt the world spin around him. In the next second, he appeared outside the elegant house.
As for Elena, she had long disappeared.
"She's really swift and decisive… But that's good too. If she's talkative and cares about too many things, it'll be uncomfortable."
Lin Bei sighed and looked at the three exclusive skill crystals in his hand.
62 Exclusive Skills of the Level SSS Hidden Profession!
Lin Bei directly used three skill crystals.
You used Skill Crystal!
You have activated the exclusive skill "War God Essence"!
You have activated the exclusive skill, War God Will!
You have activated the exclusive skill, War God Shield!
Three exclusive skills!
Lin Bei could not wait to look at the skill introduction.
Good God!
Were they the exclusive skills of an SSS-rank hidden profession?
Indeed awesome!
War God Essence (War-type): Lv.1. Consume Soul Crystals to purify weapons or equipment, allowing them to obtain additional bonus effects. The purity effect is related to the skill level and the quality of the Soul Crystal. For every level increase, the purity effect increases by 100%.
War God Will (Judgment): Lv.1. For every enemy killed, you will obtain 1 Battle Will Point. Every Battle Will Point increases your attack and defense by 1%. Maximum Battle Will Points: 100. Duration of Battle Will Points: 60 seconds. For every level increase, the upper limit of Battle Will Points increases by 100 points.
War God Shield (Healing): Level 1. After activation, it provides a War God Shield. The capacity of the shield is 5 times the upper limit of health (your own health, not the target health). During the effect of the shield, you will be immune to control effects. Duration: 60 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds. With every level increase, the capacity of the shield will increase by 100%.
These three exclusive skills could only be described with one word: powerful!
The War God Essence should be similar to an enchantment skill. However, since it had to consume Soul Crystals, the essence bonus would definitely be much stronger than ordinary enchantment skills!
As for the War God Will, after it was fully stacked, it could provide a 100% attack and 100% defense bonus. It was comparable to the Level 80 ultimate skills of other professions and was also very powerful.
The last War God Shield was also powerful. At Level 1, it could provide a shield with five times the upper limit of Health Points. Moreover, it was immune to control. With his current Health Points, any Level 1 noob would instantly become a tank after putting on the shield. It was awesome.
"This shield is not bad, especially in a team fight. Coupled with my Spell Wave skill, I can put a shield on a group of people at once. No one can kill them!"
Lin Bei's eyes flickered. He had been thinking about how to increase the strength of the guild members in a short period of time. Now, it seemed that with this War God Shield and his Holy Light Shield, once he put it on, even if the opponents were those high-level players, it would not be so easy to deal with his people!
Moreover, after the skill was reduced, the War God Shield could be released once every six seconds. In other words, unless the other party killed his people in six seconds, they would have unlimited shields. He could disgust the other party to death!
"This skill is good."
Lin Bei smiled. He still had Spell Wave. He could directly cast shields in a large area. Within the range of the skill, he could completely create an iron bucket array!
Your level is high? Your equipment is good?
I'm immune to crowd control and have a thick shield. Kill me!
"There's also the War God Essence! When the time comes, I'll distribute refined equipment to the guild members. Their strength can still increase by another level!"
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Previously, he was worried that a month was not enough, but now, it seemed that the pressure was much less!
"I have to increase my strength as soon as possible. In my memory, there are many dungeons with good benefits. I can't go at my current level! There's also the attribute limit breakthrough. I have to prepare as soon as possible!"
Lin Bei thought to himself.
Previously, his Magic Strength Limit Breakthrough had already been announced to the entire server. He believed that some thoughtful players would have some guesses. Therefore, now was a race against time. If he moved slowly, others might beat him to it!
The bonus effect of the Extraordinary Limit Breaking Skill was far from what ordinary Limit Breaking Skills could compare to!
"Green, how's the guild's matter?"
Lin Bei opened the chat and asked Green Collar.
Green Collar: "Everything is normal. Also, more and more players want to join our Azure Plume Guild because of the dungeon. There are a total of 3,000 members in our guild, and there are still 5,000 people waiting to be reviewed."
"Don't be hasty about the review. Arrange for people to inspect them carefully."
Lin Bei said, "By the way, I have a batch of Gold equipment here. Send it out and increase the strength of the guild members so that they can level up quickly!"
Green Collar frowned when he heard this. He felt that the Guild Master seemed to be a little anxious and could not help but ask, "Is something about to happen?"
"Yes, I've received a mission. In a month, the servers might be combined."
Lin Bei said in a low voice, "But don't tell anyone about this. You know the situation of our guild now. In the ninth server, we dominate everything. The other guilds will definitely not be able to sit still! After all, the ninth server is a new server. Many resources have yet to be developed. If they get this news, it will only complicate matters!"
"I understand! I'll keep this matter to myself. I won't even tell Sister Unparalleled!"
Green Collar nodded, but she was still worried. "If it's really only a month, isn't the pressure too great? The average level of the players in Server 1 and Server 2 has already exceeded Level 70. If it's only a month, we won't have time to develop at all."
"Leave this to me. I'll try my best to delay the server combination. Your mission is to do your best to increase the overall strength of the guild as soon as possible. When most of them reach Level 20, we'll establish a territory. At that time, with a base, we can hire an NPC army. It'll be relatively easier to develop."
Lin Bei said, "Also, don't forget about the team. I'll go to the Holy Light Village first. Wait for me in the warehouse."
Green Collar: "Okay!"
…
Lin Bei arrived at the Holy Temple Square and used the teleportation array here to return to the Holy Light Village.
Arriving at the warehouse, Lin Bei traded a large batch of Gold equipment to Green Collar. Originally, he had planned to break down these Gold equipment, but now that the server combination was imminent, it was more worth it to take them out to increase the strength of the guild members.
"By the way, remember to sign a contract with the guild members. These equipment belong to the guild."
"Don't worry about that! We've already done it! All the members of the guild will sign labor contracts! Our company will pay them every month. There's also a series of reward and punishment systems. They've already been perfected."
Green Collar smiled and said, "Also, we plan to establish the Azure Plume Group in Magic City for some business activities. Remember to come over when you have time. Just sign it."
"Well done."
Lin Bei praised. He was not good at these things. Green Collar was indeed worthy of being the person who made Azure Plume Guild into the top ten business guilds in his previous life. She was amazing in this aspect.
"By the way, give me a hundred million later. I have something urgent to do."
"Sure."
Green Collar nodded and did not ask further.
The benefits that Lin Bei had brought to the guild were already difficult to estimate. If he wanted to temporarily withdraw some money to do something, she naturally would not say anything.
"One more thing. Later, see if you can buy some skill books that increase stamina or health. I have use for them too."
"Alright, leave it to me."
"By the way, have you recruited enough members?"
"I've recruited enough. I've recruited a total of 30 people now. There are three people on the list you gave me previously."
"Three?"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Which three?" 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚
"It's called Traceless Sword, Uninterested, and Lone Traveler."
Green Collar said, "Their professions are Swordsman, Assassin, and Shield Warrior. Oh right, there's also a person in the top 500 called 'I'm So Scared'. He said that you introduced him. Is that true?"
"Yes, I introduced him. This kid's skill combination is not bad. After training him, he should be able to control the situation."
Lin Bei nodded. At the same time, he was a little happy. Traceless Sword was a top-notch swordsman who could fight Longevity Sword 50-50 in ten years in his previous life! And as for Uninterested, he was also a top-notch Assassin, but in the end, he disappeared for killing and robbing. As for Lone Traveler, he was a ruthless person who had been the MVP of the WWL Professional League for three years. He played shield-fighting superbly and was incomparably powerful.
Such a lineup was already very luxurious.
Of course, these people might have just started and their operations and awareness might be a little lacking.
But wasn't he here?
His mind was filled with technology and experience that was 10 years ahead of the current era. It was more than enough to train current players.
His parents should be in Magic City tomorrow. He could bring them to Azure Plume Guild to take a look and reassure them!
As for his sister, he planned to go over later.
Time was tight. After he was done, he had to go to the Blood Demon Mystic Realm to take a look and see how strong the monsters there were, so that he could make a plan to save Elena in advance.
This was an Abyssal Quest. In his previous life, he had never even heard of it. One could imagine how difficult it was.
"I'll leave the guild to you! Remember to contact me if there's anything!"
Lin Bei instructed and chose to go offline. He left the school and took a taxi towards the hospital.
"This is too inconvenient. I have to buy a car later. Also, staying in the dormitory isn't a solution. I'll ask Green Collar and the others later to see if there's a good place."
In the taxi, Lin Bei was a little helpless. He had originally wanted to rent a villa, but the owner had gone back on his word some time ago. This made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Sigh, forget it. School hasn't started yet anyway. I can still last for a while.
It would not be too late when I find a suitable place.
Not long after, the taxi stopped. Lin Bei got out and looked at the hospital door in front of him. For a moment, he had mixed feelings.
63 Genetic Strengthening Potion!
"Brother, why are you here? Aren't you preparing for the technology competition in school?"
In a corner of a ward in the hospital, a thin girl looked at Lin Bei, who had appeared in front of her, and her eyes revealed a hint of joy.
"Little sister, I'm here to see you. Now that I've earned money in Second World, I'm here to treat you!"
Lin Bei looked at his skinny sister and his thoughts drifted, as if he had returned to his previous life.
Lin Jing was a strong girl. Although she was plagued by illness, she had always been extremely optimistic and insisted on fighting it.
!
However, the sudden death of their parents in her previous life had dealt a huge blow to her. In the end, she still passed away.
"Brother! Don't lie to me! I heard from them that they can only maintain my vitality through continuous blood transfusion and exchange. Otherwise, I'll die quickly."
Lin Jing blinked, as if she was not afraid of death.
"Silly girl, what do you know? I'm not lying to you! I'm here to treat your illness!"
As Lin Bei spoke, he took out his phone and showed Lin Jing his account balance. "Look for yourself. Isn't this much money enough for your treatment?"
"Ah! Brother, where… where did you get so much money?"
Lin Jing exclaimed and pulled Lin Bei to her side. She leaned forward and whispered, "Brother, did you do something illegal? Do Mom and Dad know? You can't do this. Although I'm sick, you shouldn't…"
"Don't worry, little sister. Your brother earned this money through legitimate means. Didn't I tell you that I earned it from Second World?!"
Lin Bei smiled and said, "Alright, don't worry. I know my limits. I definitely won't do anything illegal! Dad and Mom will be here tomorrow. If you don't believe me, you can ask them!"
"Is that true?"
"Absolutely!"
"Then… is Second World fun? I always hear others discussing this game, but the doctor said that I'm too weak to play games."
Lin Jing asked curiously. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠
"It's fun! Do you want to play?"
Lin Bei smiled and nodded.
"Of course I do! But I—"
"Don't worry. When I cure you later, I'll buy you a gaming pod. At that time, you can play however you want. If you encounter anything you don't know or don't understand, I'll help you!"
Lin Bei smiled.
"Brother, you're the best."
Tears welled up in Lin Jing's eyes. She originally thought that she would be like this for the rest of her life. She even thought that as a burden to her parents and brother, she shouldn't continue living in this world.
However, every time she saw her parents and brother running around worried about her strange illness, she could not bear it.
She felt that she had to be strong.
Just like that, she endured for a full five years.
For the past five years, she had been staying in the hospital and had not even left once.
However, she did not regret it. Every time she saw her parents and brother's smiles, she would feel that it was all worth it.
She did not want to leave them.
Never!
Her parents and brother were her only concern. They were her motivation to persevere!
"Hey, you're my biological sister. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well? Alright, stay here for now. I'll pay the money and reserve a private room for you for treatment."
Lin Bei patted Lin Jing's shoulder and left the ward.
Soon, he completed all kinds of procedures and spent 100 million Ocean Blue coins to buy something called a genetic strengthening potion.
He did not know about this in his previous life.
He only knew that it would cost 100 million Ocean Blue coins to treat Lin Jing's illness. At that time, he had asked, but the hospital did not tell him how to treat it.
However, in this life, when he showed enough money, the hospital gave an answer.
It was very simple to treat Lin Jing's illness completely. He only needed a bottle of genetic strengthening potion!
However, the price was also high. 100 million Ocean Blue coins!
"Doctor Du, what is this Genetic Strengthening Potion? Will there be side effects if my sister uses it?"
Lin Bei asked his sister's attending doctor worriedly.
"Hehe, don't worry about that. There are no side effects."
Doctor Du smiled and replied, "Speaking of this Genetic Strengthening Potion, it's actually something that our Dragon Country spent a lot of effort to obtain. You know about the ruins of the alien ancient civilization, right? The technology of the Genetic Strengthening Potion was discovered from there. However, our Dragon Country only mastered this technology in the past two years."
"It's very difficult to make this Genetic Strengthening Potion. Even our huge Dragon Country doesn't have much reserves."
"Although it's priced at 100 million yuan, this thing is actually still the target of many rich people! However, the Dragon Country has strict control over genetic strengthening potions. Unless necessary, it won't easily enter the market."
Doctor Du explained patiently, "Your sister's illness is very rare. I once discussed the treatment with many experts in the world, but in the end, we only came to a conclusion. With our Dragon Country's current medical technology, it can't be cured completely. Fortunately, the genetic strengthening potion has appeared in the past two years. It can repair a person's genetic defects and strengthen them."
"Your sister's strange illness is caused by genetic defects, but with this Genetic Strengthening Potion, she will recover quickly. However, she has been bedridden in the hospital for so many years. She still needs some recuperation training to fully recover."
"Thank you, Doctor Du!"
"You're welcome. This Genetic Strengthening Potion was obtained by your family through hard work. I'm just doing my duty as a doctor. However, it's better not to say anything about the Genetic Strengthening Potion lest it causes unnecessary trouble. Do you understand?"
"Doctor Du, don't worry! I won't say anything!"
Lin Bei nodded with a serious expression.
However, his heart was in turmoil!
Genetic Strengthening Potion!
A special potion from the ruins of an alien civilization!
It had the effect of strengthening the human genes!
To be honest, it was fine if he did not know. Now that he knew about this, as a normal person, how could he not be tempted?
In fact, he only knew that Second World's system mainframe came from the ruins. He did not know anything else.
However, from the looks of it, there was more than just a Second World system in the ruins of the alien civilization!
Was there anything else besides the Genetic Strengthening Potion?
Lin Bei felt that his mind was in a mess.
Second World… was it really just a simple virtual game?
Lin Bei suddenly had this thought.
He could not help but think of Alina, his professional mentor, and Bobo, the Goblin merchant he had interacted with. Lin Bei felt they were like living beings!
"Sigh… I won't think about it anymore!"
Lin Bei shook his head hard and left the room with the shopping list in his hand.
The Genetic Strengthening Potion would only arrive in two days. Now, he had to tell his sister this good news.
As for everything else, it was just his guess.
Highly-intelligent NPCs was something even advanced AI could do, right?
Not to mention the system mainframe of an alien civilization ruin.
He was just scaring himself!
As for the Genetic Strengthening Potion, if possible, he had to think of a way to get a bottle!
No matter how powerful he was in the game, that was only in the game. If he could obtain the Genetic Strengthening Potion, his strength in the real world would increase greatly. At that time, he would have some strength to protect himself.
Although this was a lawful society, it was never wrong to become stronger.
However… this thing was not easy to obtain.
Lin Bei frowned and had a headache.
64 The Value of the Body Strengthening Spell!
"It's done!"
As soon as he returned to the ward, Lin Bei told his sister the good news.
At this moment, Lin Jing had already checked into a single ward. The environment was much better than before.
"Brother, thank you!"
"We're siblings. There's no need to thank me!"
Lin Bei waved his hand and smiled. "But we still have to wait two days for the medicine to arrive. You'll have to suffer a few more days."
"It's fine! It's only a couple of days. I've survived for five years!"
"Little sister, it's been hard on you."
When Lin Bei heard this, he felt a little sad.
However, he quickly recovered. No matter what, Lin Jing was about to recover!
When the time came, their family would be together and they would no longer have to work hard.
Lin Bei chatted with Lin Jing for a while before leaving the hospital.
It was not that he did not want to stay, but time was tight. He still had many things to do.
After getting a taxi and returning to the dormitory, Lin Bei did not hesitate and went online.
He temporarily put the matter of the genetic strengthening potion aside.
Right now, he only had one goal, and that was to farm monsters and level up! When he reached Level 30, he could equip the Tainted Blood Magic Blade. At that time, his strength would definitely improve!
At the same time, he had to farm more Mutated Bosses. When the time came, he would sell some things in exchange for Bobo Coins.
Now, his Mutated Blood could store 10 mutation chances every 6 hours. As long as he had enough monster blood, he could farm Mutated Bosses infinitely!
And monster blood was not difficult for him to obtain.
As long as he found a Boss that he could extract blood from, he could extract their blood after killing them. Moreover, with the +200% drop rate, he could obtain at least 3 portions of monster blood every time he extracted it. Therefore, as long as he controlled it well, he could kill the Boss indefinitely!
"By the way, it's rare for me to come back to the Holy Light Village. I should go take a look at Shopkeeper Jin. Previously, with the Buff he gave me, I could obtain so much equipment in the early stages. If not for him, I wouldn't have developed so quickly!"
As soon as Lin Bei went online, he appeared near the warehouse of the Holy Light Village. Thinking of Shopkeeper Jin, who had helped him a lot previously, he immediately rushed towards the grocery store of the Holy Light Village.
Because he had the Buff of the Stealth Potion, the players of the Holy Light Village could not discover him at all.
Soon, Lin Bei arrived at the grocery store.
"Shopkeeper Jin, long time no see!"
As soon as he entered, Lin Bei smiled and greeted him.
Although the number of players in the Holy Light Village was more than ten times higher than before, there were still not many players who came to the grocery store. After all, the server had only opened for a day and a half. Everyone had to spend their game coins carefully. Only some rich people or guild leaders could come to the grocery store to buy potions.
Now, Shopkeeper Jin was lounging on the recliner in boredom. He was extremely satisfied.
"Yo, it's you, kid! It's only been a day since we last met, but you've changed completely!"
Shopkeeper Jin's eyes lit up. He immediately jumped up from the recliner and went to the counter. He sized Lin Bei up and sniffed carefully. Then, he said in surprise, "Eh, why is the smell of vigor energy on your body so strong? Did you eat some elixir?"
"Huh? No."
Lin Bei was stunned when he heard this. Then, he thought of his Full of Vigor skill and explained, "I was lucky previously and obtained a skill book called 'Full of Vigor'. I used it directly. You said that my vigor energy is rich, right?"
"What! Full of Vigor? You, you, you…"
When Shopkeeper Jin heard this, he lost his composure as if he had lost his soul. He pointed at Lin Bei for a long time and could not say a word.
"Shopkeeper Jin, it's just an ordinary skill book. Do you have to be so excited?"
Seeing Shopkeeper Jin's violent reaction, Lin Bei could not help but think of what Goblin Merchant Bobo had said when he saw the Body Strengthening Spell. He was intrigued and he deliberately said this.
"Ordinary? What do you know! Kid, you… you really make me cry from envy! Your luck is much better than mine!"
Shopkeeper Jin stomped his feet when he heard this. The fat on his body swayed, making Lin Bei's heart ache. Lin Bei was afraid that he would fall to the ground accidentally.
"Is there anything special about Full of Vigor?"
Lin Bei asked curiously.
"Anything special? There are too many things!"
Shopkeeper Jin paced back and forth anxiously and said, "This thing might be as simple as increasing your strength to you, but to me or some older people, this thing can be used to extend their lifespan! Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Longevity extension?"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up.
So that was how it was!
I knew it. If it was just to increase physical strength, a Body Strengthening Spell should not be able to sell for a high price.
However, if it could extend the lifespan of these NPCs, everything would make sense!
This was akin to buying their life!
How could it not be expensive?
Especially for some NPCs whose lifespan was about to reach its limit, the skill's importance was self-evident!
"But Shopkeeper Jin, you look like a middle-aged man. You don't really need this thing, right?"
Lin Bei asked.
"Nonsense, just because I don't need it now doesn't mean I won't need it in the future! It's not a loss to save some of these things in advance!"
"That makes sense!"
Lin Bei nodded.
"However, I'm indeed not using it for myself. Sigh, forget it. It's useless to tell you. How about this? If you have such good things in the future, you can give them to me first. I'll buy them at a high price!"
Shopkeeper Jin sighed and said to Lin Bei, "I'll pay Bobo coins. You should have seen Bobo, right? That old fellow sold me a Body Strengthening Spell not long ago for 2,000 Bobo coins. As for your Full of Vigor, What a pity. If you hadn't used it but sold it to me, I'd be willing to pay 10,000 Bobo coins. Forget it, this kind of thing can only be chanced upon by luck. Next time, be careful. I'll buy it at a high price!"
"A Body-strengthening Spell… for how much?"
"2,000 Bobo coins. Speaking of which, I was still puzzled. This Bobo has always been extremely cunning. I didn't expect him to be willing to sell it to me for only 2,000 Bobo coins. How magical!"
Shopkeeper Jin said, "I've dealt with him for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen him like this. I was already prepared to be ruthlessly ripped off by him, but I didn't expect him to ask for 2,000 Bobo coins. Tsk tsk, it's worth it."
Lin Bei was speechless.
Alright, I'll remember this!
Lin Bei thought fiercely.
He originally thought that no matter how bad Bobo's reputation was, it should be limited.
However, after hearing Shopkeeper Jin's words, he realized that he was wrong!
And it was ridiculously wrong!
Damn it, I only got 100 Bobo coins!
In the end, he sold it for 2,000 Bobo coins!
Most importantly, the customers even felt that they had made a killing. Damn, who should I reason with?
"Eh, what's wrong?"
Shopkeeper Jin looked at Lin Bei and asked curiously.
"No… nothing. I just heard that a Body Strengthening Spell can be sold for so much money. I find it a little unbelievable!"
"Hehe, kid, you're still unwilling to tell the truth! In my opinion, the Body Strengthening Spell from before is yours, right?"
A glint flashed in Shopkeeper Jin's eyes as he said with a smile, "It's alright. I can understand your feelings. I was also tricked a few times in the past, but… you'll learn from your mistakes! There's still a long way to go!"
"Uh…"
Lin Bei was a little helpless. Was my behavior that obvious?
Also, why did he feel that none of these NPCs were easy to deal with?
"Alright, I think you're really lucky. If you have anything you don't understand in the future, you can come and ask me in advance. I'll estimate the price for you. At that time, you won't have to be tricked by that old fellow."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Jin!"
"It's fine! It's just that if you have something like the Body Strengthening Spell or Full of Vigor, remember to sell them to me!"
"Good!"
"Alright, you can't come to me for nothing this time. How about this? I'll give you something."
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Jin touched a gem ring on his hand and a wooden box appeared in his hand.
"I obtained this thing back then. It's a seed that has lost its vitality. Take it and try your luck."
Lin Bei took the wooden box and opened it. His expression changed.
This thing… was not simple!
Seed of the World Tree: Legendary item. Its vitality has been severed and it can't grow.
"Legendary item?"
Lin Bei was a little confused.
"Hehe, it's something above the Extraordinary level."
Seeing that Lin Bei was in a daze, Shopkeeper Jin explained, "Damn, I was shot in the knee because of this. Otherwise, I would have been taking adventures like you!"
"Ah, about that…"
Lin Bei wanted to say something but hesitated.
Although he sympathized with Shopkeeper Jin, but… that guy was jumping up and down just now. I didn't see your knees hurt. Are you sure you didn't deliberately find an excuse to retire in the Holy Light Village?
Of course, he kept these words to himself.
To be able to obtain a legendary item above the extraordinary level, Shopkeeper Jin was definitely not simple. He was at least an extraordinary existence and was not someone Lin Bei could provoke now.
"By the way, give this letter to Alina after you see her."
Shopkeeper Jin took out a golden envelope and handed it to Lin Bei. He smiled and said, "Young man, I think highly of you!"
A golden light landed on Lin Bei.
You have received Shopkeeper Jin's blessing! Treasure drop rate +100%! Enhancement success rate +100%! Duration: 2 hours!
Unlimited Buff Talent in effect! The duration of Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing has become permanent!
Lin Bei: ?
What happened?
65 Good Person Shopkeeper Jin! Bounty Mission!
Lin Bei was a little stunned.
He gave me another awesome Buff?!
Damn, this Shopkeeper Jin is really a good person!
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Jin!"
Lin Bei thanked him sincerely.
Previously, Shopkeeper Jin's blessing had given him a permanent Buff of "Drop Rate +100%" and "Drop Quality +1"!
Now, Shopkeeper Jin's blessing had given him a permanent Buff of "Drop Rate +100%" and "Enhancement Success Rate +100%"!
This was simply a living Bodhisattva!
It was difficult to find such an Extraordinary NPC even with a lantern!
"Hehe, it's just a small trick. It's not worth mentioning."
Shopkeeper Jin waved his hand and said, "It's a pity that the duration is a little short. Otherwise, I could have relied on this to become rich! What a pity."
However, Lin Bei felt that two hours was not short!
Take the buff of "Enhancement Success Rate +100%" for example. As long as there were enough Stone Daggers and Enhancement Tokens, it would be enough to enhance a large number of equipment, right?
The strengthening of the Strengthening Token was 100% successful at Level 1 to 3. The success rate of +4 to +6 was 50%.
With this Buff, it meant that he could directly strengthen it to +6 with a 100% success rate!
What kind of concept was this?
Moreover, even if it was +7 to +9, the success rate was as high as 50%!
Such a success rate in strengthening was enough to make countless players seethe!
Lin Bei felt that even if he did not do anything, just this method of strengthening equipment was enough for him to do well in the game and earn a lot!
"Haha, I'll get going first. When I have something good like the Body Strengthening Spell later, I'll definitely find you to sell it!"
"Alright! I'm relieved to hear that!"
Shopkeeper Jin laughed out loud, feeling extremely satisfied.
With this lucky star around, he would definitely obtain those things!
…
After leaving the grocery store of the Holy Light Village, Lin Bei teleported to Green Mountain City.
He came to the Bloodshed Tavern and prepared to take on a few bounty missions.
Bounty missions were the same as talent levels. From low to high, they were divided into F-rank and SSS-rank. The higher the difficulty, the more generous the rewards.
However, it was already not bad for a Level 3 main city like Green Mountain City to have an A-rank mission. As for the higher ones, they usually could not see them at all.
"Hehe, you look unfamiliar! Are you here to accept a mission?"
At the entrance of the Bloodshed Tavern, a one-eyed burly man carrying a large saber looked at Lin Bei and asked with a smile.
"That's right. This is my first time here. I want to accept a mission."
Lin Bei nodded.
"Hehe, it's not easy for newbies to do the missions here. How about this? If you come to our team, we happen to have a C-rank mission here. It won't be troublesome to bring a newbie like you."
The one-eyed man smiled and said, "However, we're not free. We'll take half of your mission reward. As for the points reward, you can have them all."
"No need. I can do it alone."
Lin Bei smiled and replied.
"Alright, but I still advise you not to act alone. It's best to accept a simple F-rank mission to practice first."
Seeing that Lin Bei had rejected him, the one-eyed man was not angry. Instead, he persuaded him.
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
Lin Bei thanked him and entered the tavern.
Even though the Bloodshed Tavern was filled with all sorts of people, there were only a few people who were truly vicious and evil. Most of them were rangers or mercenary groups that did not like to be restrained. As long as they were not enemies, they were generally easier to talk to.
The one-eyed man clearly had good intentions and wanted to bring Lin Bei along for the mission.
However, he rejected it because he was not accepting a C-rank mission.
Such a mission would not benefit him much.
If he wanted to accept a mission, it had to be at least B-rank and above.
Generally speaking, every bounty mission had a Boss battle. A B-rank mission corresponded to a Sector Lord Boss, A-rank mission corresponded to a King-tier Boss, and so on.
Speaking of which, this bounty mission was a fixed method to kill Bosses. However, the missions were limited. They'd be gone quickly if one's hands were not fast enough.
Fortunately, Lin Bei was the only player in Green Mountain City. He could choose any of these missions.
"Not bad. There are two A-rank missions and five B-rank missions here. I'll accept them all!"
Lin Bei came to the bounty mission list in the tavern and took off five mission notices. He came to the counter and said, "Boss, I'll accept these five missions."
The Boss of the Bloodshed Tavern in Green Mountain City was an Elven woman with golden hair. She wore a wine-red dress, and her eyes were incomparably bright.
"You… Are you sure you want to accept all of them? These are two A-rank and five B-rank missions. And… are you alone?"
"That's right."
"This… I have to ask for instructions. Wait a moment."
The boss did not dare to delay and immediately prepared to ask the higher-ups.
"There's no need to ask. I approve."
At this moment, a hearty voice came from outside the tavern. Soon, a bald man came to the bar and smiled. "Tria, give this kid the missions."
"Lord Monka!"
When the elven boss saw who it was, she was shocked and immediately bowed respectfully.
The person who came was the Bloodthirsty Berserker, Monka, who had wanted to rope Lin Bei in at the Temple Square!
"Alright, don't bother with these formalities! Our Bloodshed Tavern seeks freedom. These things are quite troublesome. Don't do this again in the future."
Monka waved his hand at Tria and smiled at Lin Bei. "Kid, I didn't expect you to come to our Bloodshed Tavern to accept a mission after refusing to join us. How unkind."
"Brother Monka, you must be joking. I didn't say that I would refuse. Besides, when the Light Guardian came, you ran away on your own."
"Uh… Ahem, this, alright, let's not talk about this for now. What are your thoughts now? Do you want to join our Bloodshed Tavern?"
Monka coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the topic. "Join our tavern. Let's not talk about other benefits for now. Take the bounty missions for example. You have the right to choose through internal channels! To put it simply, the missions displayed here are leftovers that were not picked by others. There's not much profit."
"If you join our Bloodshed Tavern, I'll make the decision and directly grant you the status of a three-star member. At that time, you can directly receive an S-rank bounty mission from internal sources! How about it? Does it feel good?"
"S-Rank!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up.
An S-Rank bounty mission meant an Emperor-tier Boss!
He now had the Buff of "Drop Quality +2". After killing the King-tier Boss, he would directly obtain Obsidian-tier equipment.
What about killing the Emperor-tier Boss? Wouldn't it directly drop Extraordinary-grade equipment?
This temptation… was a little big.
"Any conditions?"
Lin Bei asked.
"No conditions! Three-star members only need to complete at least one S-rank bounty mission every month. There are no other requirements."
"Alright then, I'll join the Bloodshed Tavern."
Lin Bei said directly.
"Alright! This is a three-star medal. Take it!"
Monka took out a blood-red token from his body. On the token, there were three bright black scimitar marks.
You have joined the Bloodshed Tavern!
You have advanced to a three-star member of the Bloodshed Tavern! The S-rank bounty channel has been opened! You can open the Bounty Interface in different areas of the Bloodshed Tavern and accept more bounty missions!
Current location: Green Mountain City! No S-rank bounty missions for the time being! There are a total of nine A-rank bounty missions, 31 B-rank bounty missions, and…
A series of system notifications sounded in his ears.
Lin Bei felt a little regretful. There was actually no S-rank mission in Green Mountain City to accept!
However, there were many Rank A and B missions!
Every A-rank mission meant that there was a King-tier Boss!
Lin Bei glanced at his Mutated Blood skill and grinned.
This was a good thing.
With so many King-tier Bosses, he could farm countless Mutated King-tier Bosses in the future!
Coupled with the bonus effect of his Treasure Drop Rate +300%, it was simply easy for him to gather a set of Obsidian-grade equipment!
"Lady Boss, I want to accept all the Level A and Level B missions. Please help me record them."
Lin Bei smiled at Tria.
"Ah? Oh… I, I'll do it now!"
Tria's eyes were dull as she subconsciously agreed.
Who was this young man?
He was actually so familiar with Lord Monka!
Moreover, he was directly promoted to a three-star member!
This… was simply unheard of!
"Haha! Good kid! You've booked all the A- and B-rank missions in Green Mountain City! Not bad, I think highly of you! This is worth a lot of tavern points! With points, you can exchange for many things you want in the tavern! Don't forget!"
"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Monka!"
"Alright, I still have something on. Let's talk again in the future!"
Monka patted Lin Bei's shoulder and laughed. He turned around and left the tavern.
"Um… Lord, these are the missions you requested. They've been reserved for you!"
After Monka left, Tria said with some trepidation.
"Lord?"
Lin Bei was stunned.
"I'm a two-star member. You're a three-star, one level higher than me."
Tria explained.
"So that's what happened!"
Lin Bei was enlightened, but after thinking about it, he said, "Don't call me Lord. It sounds weird. Just call me… Prince Charming. I'm a professional Prince Charming of War. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"No, nothing wrong."
"Alright, I'll go and complete the missions first!"
"Have a safe trip, Prince Charming."
"Sure, sure."
Lin Bei laughed and left the tavern with the mission list.
At the door, the one-eyed man stared blankly at Lin Bei's departing back and slapped himself hard. 𝚋𝚎dno𝚟𝚎l.n𝚎𝚝
"Damn, I actually let Prince Charming run an errand with me? Damn, I've embarrassed myself!"
His mission was only a C-rank mission, but what about the Prince Charming? He had covered all the missions above B-rank!
What was courage?
This was courage!
No wonder Lord Monka thought highly of him!
"Sigh, compared to Prince Charming… I'm still far from it. Forget it, I'll gather people and complete this Class C mission first."
The one-eyed man sighed, shook his head, and left the tavern.
…
On the other side, Lin Bei had already arrived at the Frost Valley outside Green Mountain City. There was an A-rank bounty mission target here. It was a King-tier Boss!
66 Frost Mage Baglas! How Satisfying! (1)
You have discovered Frost Valley (Lv.30~Lv.40)!
In the Frost Valley, snow was flying and the cold wind was bone-piercing.
Lin Bei cast the Holy Light Shield and the War God Shield on himself and entered the canyon.
Along the way, he casually killed the surrounding monsters and maxed out the War God Will, doubling his attack and defense.
After passing through a long and narrow mountain path, his vision suddenly became clear.
!
A huge frozen lake appeared in front of him.
White fog filled the surroundings, obstructing his vision.
"It should be around here."
Lin Bei looked around and vaguely saw the snow monsters in the fog. Most of these monsters were between Level 35 and 40. That should be the area with the highest distribution of monsters in the Frost Valley.
"This place shouldn't be far from the hiding place of that King-tier Boss. Let's go and find it first."
Lin Bei did not care about the snow monsters wandering on the lake. Instead, he continued to go deeper in stealth mode.
He still had many bounty missions on hand. Speed was important.
Moreover, although the level of the ice monsters on the lake was not low, they were not very attractive to Lin Bei.
The highest level of these monsters was Lord-tier, and the items they dropped were only Gold-tier. It was really a waste of time.
What he needed to do now was to collect enough King-tier blood. This way, with the Mutated Blood skill, he could farm King-tier Mutated Bosses infinitely. Such benefits were far from what these ice monsters could compare to.
Lin Bei walked forward. Soon, he passed through the lake and arrived in front of a towering mountain wall.
A barrier blocked the way.
You have discovered the hiding place of Frost Mage Baglas (Lv.40)!
"Found it!"
Lin Bei smiled and looked at the frozen hole in front of him. He directly attacked and used Discipline Spell.
There was a rumble.
A hole appeared in the Ice Barrier.
Lin Bei's current Discipline Spell could cause at least 2,000,000 damage with a critical hit. It was not a problem for him to deal with a small Ice Barrier!
"Who dares to disturb my cultivation! You're courting death!"
Suddenly, a furious roar came from the cave deep in the ice.
Soon, countless icicles swarmed over, broke through the barrier, and landed on Lin Bei!
-30,000! -30,000! -30,000! …
Lin Bei glanced at the damage of the Icicle and smiled. Although the shield did not have any defense, his shield capacity was not a joke!
The War God Shield, with five times the upper limit of health, directly exceeded a million. Coupled with the Holy Light Shield, the damage of these icicles was not enough!
Moreover, the key was that the cooldown of these two skills was short, so Lin Bei had no intention of dodging at all and rushed forward!
"Found you!"
With all kinds of Buffs, Lin Bei's movement speed was ridiculously fast. In the blink of an eye, he had covered a hundred meters!
He rushed into the cave and quickly saw Baglas in an ice-blue robe in the cave abode. He was a one-eyed freak who was more than five meters tall. He had four arms, and each arm held a weapon. They were a staff, a mirror, a spear, and a shield.
"So much equipment? I've made a killing this time!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he used Discipline Spell.
Baglas was originally very angry and wanted to question him, but before he could say anything, he was hit on the head by a Discipline Spell.
His Health Points instantly decreased by more than 2 million!
Frost Mage Baglas (Lv.40, King-tier Boss): A Cyclops who studies frost magic and uses humans as living experiments. His methods are extremely cruel. Health Points: 64 million, Magic Power: 12 million.
"Not bad. His HP is twice that of the Tainted-Blood Fanatic. For the current me, I can easily take him down!"
Lin Bei glanced at the attributes of the Boss and immediately made a judgment.
His Discipline Spell dealt 2,000,000 damage per shot, and he could cast it twice in a second. That was 4,000,000 damage!
If he attacked with all his might, the 64,000,000 HP would not last more than half a minute!
Of course, a King-tier Boss was not trash. It was not that easy to successfully hit the target with every attack!
"Damn human! How dare you provoke the great Baglas! You're dead!"
Baglas roared angrily, and the silver mirror in his hand immediately shot out an extremely cold light that landed on Lin Bei.
"Ice Ray!"
Ding! You have been attacked by Baglas's Frost Ray! Movement Speed -70%, Defense -50%! Duration: 20 seconds!
Immune!
The word instantly floated above Lin Bei's head!
At the moment, not to mention that the War God Shield could be immune to the control effect, even without the shield, he was not afraid of control when his Purification Spell was eternally activated!
Therefore, it was simply a fool's dream to control him!
"That's impossible! Why is my Icy Purity Mirror useless?"
Baglas was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
"Discipline Spell!"
Lin Bei sneered and used Discipline Spells while the other party was in a daze.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Three consecutive beams of light landed, and Baglas's Health Points dropped below 60 million!
"Human! You've completely angered me!"
Baglas came back to his senses and roared. The wand in his hand instantly released frost that swept through the surroundings.
"Ice and Snow!"
Ice and Snow: Absolute control skill. After release, it can freeze everything within a hundred meters for 30 seconds. The frozen target's defense -100%.
Baglas directly took out his best move. This was an absolute control skill. Ordinary counter-control methods could not take effect at all!
67 Frost Mage Baglas! How Satisfying! (2)
"Hmph, I'll slowly deal with you after I freeze you into an ice sculpture!"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Baglas's eyes. "Well, it's been a long time since I ate a human popsicle. Why don't I try it this time?"
As he thought this, Baglas's huge mouth opened slightly and sticky saliva flowed down.
"Damn, that's disgusting."
Lin Bei looked at the green sticky saliva flowing out of Baglas and almost threw up.
Initially, he wanted to use this guy to practice and familiarize himself with his strength, but from the looks of it… he should quickly kill him.
Immune!
Lin Bei was unstoppable in the snow and ice. In the blink of an eye, he appeared above Baglas's head and bombarded his huge single eye!
"Discipline Spell!"
"Magic Absorption!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of Weakness Critical Hit Damage floated out. At the same time, he activated the professional talent he had obtained after advancing for the first time!
Body of Holy Light and Body of Judgment!
Body of Holy Light (Professional Talent): Lv.1. After activation, all Holy Light-type abilities will be empowered by 100%.
Body of Judgment (Professional Talent): Lv.1. After activation, all attacks will have an additional 100% Judgment damage.
For a moment, Lin Bei was enveloped by the violent auras of blood and gold. His damage increased explosively again!
Every time the damage was dealt, an additional blood-red Judgment damage would float up!
"Ahhh! I can't accept this! I can't accept this!"
Baglas's eyes were bleeding as he shouted in pain, "Mere human! I'm going to kill you!"
Lin Bei looked at Baglas, who was shouting, and the attack in his hand suddenly stopped. His expression was strange as he muttered, "This scene… Why does it feel a little familiar? Could it be that it's going to mutate again?"
As Lin Bei had expected, after he stopped, the frost magic power on Baglas's body began to transform, and a wisp of blood-colored light gradually appeared.
Baglas has mutated!
Ice Mage Baglas (Blood Demon Possession, Mutated, Lv.45, King-tier)
"Ah, about that…"
Lin Bei was a little stunned.
He was not shocked by the Boss's strength, but he had fallen into self-doubt.
"That's not right. As far as I know, isn't the probability of a Boss mutating very low? But why did they mutate every time I encountered one? If that's the case, why would I need this Mutated Blood?"
Lin Bei was very depressed.
Could it be that he had some hidden talent?
For example, the talent to make a low-HP Boss mutate?
"Great Venerable Blood Demon, give me the power of the Blood Demon!"
"Granted."
A soft murmur sounded from the void.
Immediately after, countless bloody auras erupted from Baglas's body. He completely lost his rationality and turned into a completely irrational monster.
"Blood… blood…"
After the mutation, the other weapons in Baglas's hand had already disappeared, leaving only a blood-red spear. His four hands held the spear tightly and he covered a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. He leaned forward and swept across, attacking Lin Bei's throat.
"This spear is not bad. It's mine!" 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗o𝚟𝚎𝚕.org
Lin Bei was not shocked. Instead, he was happy and raised his hand to block.
Clang!
His arm went numb and his weapon almost fell out of his hand, but he still blocked it.
After all, it was a Level 45 King-tier Boss after mutation. Its strength far exceeded his. Moreover, with the power of the Blood Demon, its strength had increased by countless times.
"My attributes are still too low."
Lin Bei sighed in his heart. Compared to a King-tier Boss, the difference in attributes was still huge.
The reason why he could easily kill the King-tier Boss was not because of his attributes, but because of the pile of powerful Buffs he had freeloaded!
Previously, in the Temple Square, he had benefited from the Buffs of a group of Level 100 big shots!
As for his basic attributes, they were really pitifully low.
"If I encounter a truly troublesome enemy, my attributes will still be a great weakness."
Lin Bei thought to himself. Although Baglas was King-tier, he was not the top King-tier. One had to know that some powerful Bosses were very terrifying!
Lin Bei's extreme reaction time was 0.1 seconds, but some Bosses' reaction speed exceeded this limit. At that time, many of his attacks might be dodged or blocked by the other party. Under such circumstances, he would fall into a passive state.
There were only two ways to resolve this.
First, increase his basic attributes and break his limits.
Secondly, crazily accumulate damage to the point that even if the other party blocked, the damage would still explode.
These were two thoughts, and what Lin Bei was walking on now was more like the second. However, after taking Baglas's move head-on, he suddenly felt that the first path was extremely important!
Damage and attributes had to be accumulated!
"As expected, it makes sense for the attributes to break through the limit. Otherwise, as the level increases, it will be very difficult for players to deal with those high-intensity Bosses!"
Lin Bei's gaze darkened. This was not a matter of damage, but the limit of his control!
No matter how high your damage was, what was the use if you couldn't hit anyone?
No matter how good your equipment was, what if you were sent flying by a single shot?
Humans had limits after all.
In the game, one could increase this limit through attributes. The so-called attribute breakthrough was referring to this.
But what about the real world?
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes as a name suddenly appeared in his mind.
Genetic potion!
"It should be able to easily let someone break through the limit, right?"
Lin Bei took a deep breath. "I'll know in two days at most! Will Little Sister break through her limit after using the genetic potion?"
He was looking forward to it.
At the same time, he was a little worried.
Was that alien civilization ruin really as simple as a ruin?
Also, was this Second World, as the joint statement of all the governments on Ocean Blue Planet mentioned, really as simple as it looked on the surface? Was it just a virtual online game?
This time, Lin Bei was suspicious again.
You have killed Baglas!
Your EXP has increased by 4.5 million points!
With a plop, Baglas fell to the ground and turned into a pool of pus amidst a whimper.
"Damn!"
Lin Bei's expression changed and he cursed, "Damn, why did it turn into pus? My monster blood! It's gone!"
Lin Bei wanted to cry.
This Blood Demon was really hateful!
Previously, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic was like this, and now, Baglas, who was possessed by the power of the Blood Demon, was also like this!
Could he even enjoy this game?
I just want to extract a few bottles of King-tier monster blood and farm Mutated Bosses in peace. Is it that difficult?
"Forget it, let's see what has dropped. It's a King-tier Boss after all. It should be able to drop a few Obsidian-tier equipment, right?"
Lin Bei pursed his lips and crossed the pus with a look of disdain. He looked at the spoils of war that the Boss had dropped.
"Eh? This is… a Territory Crystal?! And it's Level 2!"
"Wait, there's also this! This is a Fury Potion! It's good stuff!"
"Wow, there are still two Limit Breaking Crystals!"
"5 Stone Daggers!"
"Ten Enhancement Tokens!"
Lin Bei smiled from ear to ear and put away the spoils of war on the ground one by one.
Suddenly, he was stunned and saw an extremely familiar skill book.
Full of Vigor!
Damn, he was rich!
This was worth 10,000 Bobo coins!
"Haha, Shopkeeper Jin is indeed my lucky star! I even got this"
Lin Bei could not help but laugh out loud.
As for his depression from not being able to extract King-tier blood, it had long been swept away.
Hmm… Full of Vigor. How great!
68 Rich Spoils of War! Ektor, the Headless Horseman Who Escaped!
Lin Bei was overjoyed.
Although he did not obtain the monster's blood as he wished after killing the King-tier Boss this time, just the Full of Vigor alone made this trip worthwhile.
Shopkeeper Jin of the Holy Light Village had offered 10,000 Bobo coins to buy this skill book!
"What a good start! Looks like I'm in luck!"
Lin Bei smiled and put away Full of Vigor. He looked at the few pieces of equipment on the ground.
Baglas only dropped a total of four pieces of equipment, but these four were all Obsidian-grade equipment!
Ice Pure Mirror: Level 45, Obsidian Level, Unidentified.
Frozen Shield: Level 45, Obsidian Level, Unidentified.
Blood Breaking Spear: Level 45, Obsidian Level, Unidentified.
Ice Spirit Staff: Level 45, Obsidian Level, Unidentified.
Four unidentified equipment, and they were Level 45. Lin Bei lost interest after taking a look.
He was only Level 25 now. These equipment were 20 levels higher than him. It was not something he could equip now.
Frenzied Potion: Advanced Alchemy Potion. After using it, you will enter a Combat Frenzy state. Damage received will be reduced by 50%, damage dealt increased by 50%. Duration: 30 seconds.
Lin Bei did not hesitate and used the Frenzied Potion to obtain a permanent Combat Frenzy state.
As for the two innate abilities, the Body of Holy Light and the Body of Judgment, that he had activated when he killed the Boss, he had canceled them.
This was because these two abilities looked too high-profile. Once they were activated, Lin Bei would be enveloped by countless golden holy light and blood-colored energy. It was a little ostentatious.
Fortunately, these two talents were his and could be activated at any time. He did not need the Unlimited Buff to lengthen them. Otherwise, it would not be long before he would make the headlines and be discussed by everyone.
The talent of Infinite Buff was very powerful. As long as it was a Buff that benefited him, it could become permanent. Even if he died midway, the Buff would not lose its effect. Moreover, he could activate and deactivate the Buff effect at will.
However, Lin Bei would not do this easily. At most, he would operate it when fighting other players to avoid arousing suspicion. Under other circumstances, he would not do this.
For example, the high-level Buffs he had obtained for free previously. Once he turned them off, these Buffs would all be gone. To him, it was a huge loss!
This was an act of breaking one's arm.
Therefore, other than Buffs that originated from him like the Body of Holy Light and the Body of Judgment, he would not consider closing the Buffs.
And even if he chose to turn off the Body of Holy Light and the Body of Judgment at the last minute, it was only because the special effects of these two talents were too eye-catching. The kind that was giving him a headache.
"I should keep the two Limit Breaking Skills for now and make plans in the future."
Lin Bei put away the two Limit Breaking Crystals and was not in a hurry to use them. Instead, he looked at the King's Insignia. This thing was the reward for the first kill of the King-tier Boss. There was only a limited number of them.
Lin Bei glanced at his attribute bar. Currently, he had a total of three profession talents and three profession-specific skills to upgrade. Among them, War Awakening had already been upgraded to Lv.2. If he wanted to continue upgrading, he needed a higher-level Emperor's Insignia, so he ignored it.
Therefore, he had to make a choice among the remaining two talents and three exclusive skills.
"Forget it, what's there to choose? In any case, there are still nine King-tier Bosses behind. If they're all First Kills, there will be a lot of King's Insignias. It's enough to raise these talents and skills to Lv.2. I can just add any right now."
Lin Bei glanced at the thick list of missions in his backpack and grinned.
You have used the King's Insignia! The Body of Judgment level has increased to Lv.2!
Body of Judgment: Lv.2. Additional 200% Judgment damage per attack.
"As expected of a Level-SSS hidden profession talent! It only increased by one level, but the buff has doubled! It's indeed powerful!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he smiled brightly.
Of course, this additional Judgment Damage was not Critical Hit Damage. It did not enjoy the bonus of Critical Hit Damage. Otherwise, this 100% increase would definitely be terrifying!
For example, before the critical hit settlement, Lin Bei had dealt 1 million damage. Then, after triggering the Level 2 Body of Judgment, he could cause an additional 2 million points of Judgment damage to the target, not the high damage after the critical hit settlement.
"According to this increase, doesn't that mean that after Level 5, I can directly add 500% Judgment Damage? Damn, this is too fierce!"
Lin Bei could not help but sigh.
Unfortunately, the skills after his profession advanced were not enhanced by the Holy Light Contract. He could only rely on the proof of strength to increase their levels. Otherwise, with "Skill Level +Lv.4", he would directly soar!
"This Level 2 Territory Crystal is not bad either! Although it's bound to the Frost Valley area, it's still a Level 2 Territory after all. Be it the territory area or territory functions, it's much stronger than a Level 1 Territory Crystal! Keep it as a backup! We'll decide in detail when we establish the territory in the future."
Putting away the Level 2 Territory Crystal, Lin Bei looked up at the depths of the cave and a blue light flashed.
"Could it be a Dungeon Crystal?"
Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat. He went forward to investigate and indeed found a Dungeon Crystal.
Instance Dungeon Crystal: Frost Valley Instance Dungeon (Lv.30 to Lv.40). After using it, you can open the Frost Valley Instance Dungeon and obtain the authority of the Instance Dungeon.
"Good stuff!"
Lin Bei put away the Instance Dungeon Crystal and did not activate it immediately. Other than him, there were probably not many people in the entire server who could clear this Instance Dungeon, so there was no need to activate it.
This way, the Level 30 to 40 Instance Dungeon that the Azure Plume Guild needed was found.
In addition to the previous Instance Dungeon, there seemed to be only the Level 20 to 30 Instance Dungeon left for the current Azure Plume Guild.
"I'll complete the bounty mission first. If I'm lucky, I might be able to get a few more Instance Dungeon Crystals midway. If I really don't get them, I know a few ways to obtain Level 20 to 30 Instance Dungeon Crystals. It won't be too late to get them when the time comes!"
Lin Bei quickly made the decision. Then, he continued to search the cave. When there was nothing good, he left.
"Next target, the Headless Horseman of the Misty Mountains, Ektor."
Lin Bei confirmed his next target and immediately flew into the air. He turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
Currently, he was covered in Speed Buffs and his speed was ridiculously fast. Ordinary Level 80 players, unless they had top-notch equipment, would not be able to catch up to him.
After flying for more than ten minutes, Lin Bei arrived at the Misty Mountain Range.
After landing, he did not stop and went straight into the mountain range.
This Boss's bounty notice clearly gave the coordinates, so there was no need to search. He could just go straight up.
"However, I have to end the battle quickly this time! Otherwise, if I delay for too long, who knows if he will be possessed by a Blood Demon or something disgusting. At that time, it will be a huge loss if I can't collect the monster's blood."
Lin Bei warned himself in his heart. The moment he discovered the Boss, he immediately activated the Body of Holy Light and the Body of Judgment. Discipline Spells bombarded the target desperately. In just a few seconds, he took away a third of the Health Points of the Headless Horseman Ektor, who was resting by the bonfire!
"Men! Enemy attack!"
The Headless Horseman rolled and crawled. He mounted his horse and shouted as he fled into the depths of the Misty Mountains.
Damn, isn't this too f*cking terrifying?
All of a sudden, I almost lost my life!
Which expert had nothing better to do and came to find trouble with me?
Ektor did not have time to think and rode away.
Who cares who he is? With my Undead Warhorse, it won't be so easy to catch up to me!
I can't beat you, but can't I outrun you?
The Headless Horseman Ektor rode his horse and ran wildly. He did not even turn around to look at the person who attacked.
What a joke. Can't you see that the other party beat him up in a single move?
How dare he turn back?
Was he tired of living?!
Just run!
On the other side, Lin Bei was also dumbfounded.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he watched the Headless Horseman gallop towards the mountain range.
Hey, you're a King-tier Boss after all. No matter what, you should try resisting!
Aren't you embarrassed to run away just like that?!
69 The Bitter Ektor! The Ten Great Guilds Have Taken Action!
"However, this guy runs quite fast!"
Lin Bei thought to himself. This speed was not slower than his full speed.
Looking at the Ghost Warhorse under the other party, his eyes flickered. This mount was not bad. He would see if he could tame it later!
Then, Lin Bei ignored the surrounding undead soldiers and flew out!
The terrain of the Misty Mountains was complicated. Even if the Headless Horseman Ektor rode a warhorse and was extremely fast, he was still inferior to Lin Fei, who was flying in the air.
"Don't come over!"
"I have no grudges with you. You don't have to target me like this, right?"
Soon, the Headless Horseman Ektor, who was running for his life, felt the sound of air being torn apart from behind him. His heart twitched. The spirit head on his shoulder was filled with fear and was shouting. He did not have the dignity of a King-tier Boss at all!
"Someone wants your head for a high price."
Lin Bei said calmly.
"Damn, I'm the Headless Horseman! Do I even have a head? Hero, you must be mistaken! Stop chasing. If you continue chasing my horse, it'll be exhausted!"
The Headless Horseman Ektor shouted.
Lin Bei, who was chasing, was slightly stunned. That's right, how could the Headless Horseman have a head?
Puzzled, he lowered his head and looked at the bounty mission notice. It clearly said that his head was wanted!
Weird.
If the target was to be killed, the mission would have mentioned it clearly.
However, this bounty mission did not mention it. It only wanted the head of the Headless Horseman.
Damn, no wonder no one accepted this mission. It turned out to be a trap!
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth twitched. In his previous life, this was an extremely rare situation. It was to trick some players who waited at the Bloodshed Tavern every day and accepted missions brainlessly. However, he did not expect to bump into one this time!
"Damn, what should I do? Should I not kill him? No, it's a King-tier Boss after all. The benefits from killing him are not low!"
However, if the mission failed, points would be deducted. The points from the Bloodshed Tavern were still quite useful.
Putting everything else aside, when he established his territory, he could directly spend points to hire a group of mercenaries from the Bloodshed Tavern to station in his territory. It could be considered a considerable force.
"Hey, you, I'll give you two options now! First, quickly grow a head and let me chop it off. Second, I'll kill you. Choose."
"I—"
When Ektor heard this, he was about to crack!
Damn, do you even hear yourself?
I'm the Headless Horseman, and you want me to grow a head?
Damn, to think you could think of such a thing!
However, if I don't grow a head, I'll definitely die!
He could clearly feel that the dangerous aura behind him was getting closer and closer!
It would not be long before the other party caught up to him!
At that time… there would only be death! 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"Hero! You… wait! Don't be anxious, I… I'll try!"
Ektor said helplessly.
"Alright, I'll wait for you for a while. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. You have to fight for the opportunity yourself. If you can't even handle such a small matter, don't blame me for taking action."
Lin Bei nodded.
It would be best if he could grow a head.
When the time came, he would chop off the other party's head and kill him in the end. Not only would the mission not fail, but he could also obtain another first kill of a King-tier Boss. It was still very worth it.
"Ahhh! It's growing out! Quickly grow it out! Damn!"
The Headless Horseman Ektor's entire body trembled, and he even used all his strength.
He only had one thought now, and that was to grow a head immediately! Immediately!
He did not want to die!
Crack!
Suddenly, the sound of bones cracking came from his empty shoulder.
Then, the surrounding trees quickly withered, and the dissipated vitality quickly gathered on Ektor.
"Hahaha! I'm going to succeed! I'm going to succeed! Hero, do you see that? I'm going to grow a head! Hahahaha!"
The Headless Horseman cried tears of joy. This was the feeling of surviving a calamity!
"This works?"
Seeing this, Lin Bei was stunned.
Could the Headless Horseman really grow a head?
Oh my god, this was unheard of.
However, this guy was so eager to survive. Why not… keep him as his fighter?
Lin Bei pondered and said. It was not difficult for him to kill a King-tier Boss now, but for other players, it was an absolute nightmare!
If he could rope him in and let him guard his territory, with the guy's strength, he should be able to easily wipe out a guild's players.
"Hey, can you make blood?"
Lin Bei suddenly asked. He had not forgotten that one of the goals of completing the bounty mission was to collect the blood of king-level monsters.
"Ah? I… I don't have any blood!"
"Cut the crap. You can even grow a head. Can't you make a few drops of blood?"
Lin Bei raised his eyebrows and threatened, "Hurry up and create blood for me. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape death today!"
"Ah, about that…"
Ektor, who had just grown a head, looked extremely sad and depressed.
Sigh, I'm so miserable.
I'm just a King-tier Headless Horseman. I hid near the Misty Mountains alone and didn't go out to provoke others. I've been doing my job for more than ten years. Why did I suddenly encounter a disaster?
Damn, who the hell is tricking me?
I'm so depressed!
However, if he wanted to live, he had to work hard!
Blood, right?
I can even make a head, so why should I be afraid that I can't make blood?
Wait and see!
The Headless Horseman Ektor gathered all his strength and kept devouring the vitality of the surrounding plants, condensing drops of black blood around his body.
In less than half a minute, a total of ten drops of blood had condensed!
"Damn, this efficiency is amazing!"
At the side, Lin Bei's eyes lit up. Damn, if he subdued this Headless Horseman Ektor, he would not have to worry about the source of the monster's blood in the future.
Moreover, it was only King-tier blood now. If he thought of a way to raise the guy to Emperor-tier, wouldn't he have unlimited Emperor-tier monster blood to use?
Damn, it seemed that he could not kill this Headless Horseman Ektor.
Only idiots would kill the goose that laid golden eggs.
The right path was to look in the long run.
Love it, love it. This Headless Horseman was worth roping in!
"Ahem, alright, stop."
Lin Bei raised his hand and stopped the Headless Horseman. If this continued, the surrounding trees would wither.
"Hero, I've condensed a total of 20 drops of blood here. It's definitely King-tier blood! If you don't believe me, check!"
The Headless Horseman shouted and put the blood into a jade bottle before handing it to Lin Bei.
Lin Bei took it and looked at it. Joy flashed across his eyes.
As expected, it could be used!
Very good!
"You're not bad, kid. I think highly of you!"
Lin Bei patted the Headless Horseman Ektor's shoulder and smiled. "How about this? Why don't you follow me in the future and help me guard the territory? As for other aspects, I might need you to bleed occasionally. I don't have any other requests."
"Hmm… Of course, in return, I won't kill you. Moreover, I'll give you a chance to advance!"
"This… Hero, are you serious? If I follow you, are you really willing to help me break through?"
"Of course it's true. Regarding this, we can sign a spirit contract."
"Alright! I've always been a commander without troops. For more than ten years, I've been hiding here in fear. I might as well follow the hero and fight for a future for myself!"
Ektor gritted his teeth and immediately made a decision.
"Alright, let's sign the spirit contract now."
Lin Bei smiled when he heard that. "By the way, I need to cut off your head first. Your head is too ugly. Also, your mount is not bad. I'll take it away."
Ektor was speechless.
"By the way, I'll give you some benefits first."
Lin Bei took out a drop of king-level blood and released it at the stunned Ektor.
BOOM!
The king-tier blood broke open with a bang, turning into countless energies that wrapped around Ektor in the center.
It took less than ten seconds.
As the energy dissipated, Ektor's strength increased greatly.
"This power… is so magnificent!"
Ektor was stunned at first, then he immediately became excited.
This man in front of him actually had a way to make him stronger!
Although he did not break through directly, he was indeed much stronger than before!
Haha! I didn't expect this. I, Ektor, have been unlucky for more than ten years. My fate has finally changed today!
I must follow the hero well in the future and do what a lackey should do!
I still want to continue breaking through!
Continuously becoming stronger!
"Alright, stop being smug. Gather your subordinates here first. I'll come and find you later."
"Alright, hero!"
"Don't call me Hero. Call me Prince Charming."
"Alright, Hero Prince Charming!"
"…Whatever."
Lin Bei shrugged and put away Ektor's undead warhorse. He left the Misty Mountains and headed for his next target!
"Yes, now that I have the blood of a King-tier monster, I can finally farm Mutated Bosses without worry!"
Lin Bei was in a good mood. Things were going smoothly.
However, at this moment, Green Collar suddenly sent a private message.
"Deity! The people from the ten major guilds have come to the Holy Light Village! Many people have come! They're threatening us to hand over the Instance Dungeon Crystal. If we don't agree, they'll attack our Azure Plume! What should we do? Fight back?"
"Hmm… Delay them for now and wait for me to go back."
When Lin Bei heard this, he hung up and turned around, flying back towards the Misty Mountain Range.
Since there were people who were blind, he did not mind teaching them a lesson.
Now that he had subdued Ektor, its strength was enough to deal with the top ten guild players this time!
"Ektor, you have a job!"
Soon, Lin Bei saw the busy Ektor. He smiled and said, "To kill a few troublemakers. Do you want to do it?"
"Damn! We have to do it! Damn it! How dare they be blind and make you unhappy? I'll kill them!"
Ektor roared and waved his arm. "Little ones, follow me and kill them all!"
"Yes, sir!"
Around him, thousands of undead soldiers shouted in unison.
Their aura pierced through the clouds!
…
In the Holy Light Village, the ten major guilds had already gathered more than 100,000 people.
They only had one goal for this trip: to force Azure Plume to hand over the Instance Dungeon Crystal!
If they did not obey, they would be killed directly!
"Green Collar, I hope your Azure Plume knows what's good for you. Don't do this the hard way. Otherwise… your Azure Plume won't live past tomorrow!"
A white-robed man holding a folding fan smiled, but his tone was incomparably cold. "All the ten major guilds are here this time. Think carefully about whether you want to go against us!"
"The ten major guilds? Without Divine Descent?"
Green Collar sneered. "Or did you exclude Divine Descent yourself?"
"You! Stop arguing! I'll give you another ten minutes. Think carefully before you answer!"
The white-robed man's expression changed and he said gloomily, "You're a smart person. I believe that your choice won't disappoint us."
"Oh? Then let's wait and see."
Green Collar said calmly.
70 Ah! I Want to Report!
In the Misty Mountains, Lin Bei looked at Ektor, who was gathering his men, and could not help but frown.
Good lord, are you going to move all your troops over?
Have you thought about how much this will cost me?
Even if teleporting once cost 1 gold coin, there were at least 4,000 to 5,000 undead soldiers around, right?
This was four to five thousand gold coins!
Although it might not be a lot for Lin Bei, it was more than ten thousand gold coins, which was equivalent to a million Ocean Blue coins!
Moreover, the enemy was just a group of noob players. Why did they need so many people?
"Um… Ektor, aren't they a little too many?"
"Not much! This is not even half! My Ghost Army has a total of more than 10,000 people! But don't worry, everyone can gather in 10 minutes at most!"
"Actually… I don't think there's a need for so many people to go."
Lin Bei said tactfully, "It's not convenient to teleport so many people."
"It's fine! Boss, watch carefully!"
As Ektor spoke, he came to the front of the spirit army and took out a black flag. He waved it hard and shouted, "Retract!"
Swoosh!
A large amount of light covered the soldiers. Then, these soldiers actually disappeared!
"Hehe, did you see that? It's very convenient! My Spirit Army flag can accommodate up to 100,000 soldiers! It's more than enough to take them away!"
Ektor said proudly.
"Not bad."
Lin Bei nodded.
This way, he would not have to spend money for nothing.
However, this flag was quite powerful. He just did not know if he could take in high-level Bosses. If possible, he could use this flag to create an army of Bosses himself. At that time, he would wave the flag wherever he went and be invincible. Just thinking about it made him feel good!
"I need to borrow your flag later."
"Huh?"
Ektor was dumbfounded.
Of the three best things on him, the Ghost Warhorse had already been taken away by Lin Bei. Now, the Spirit Army Flag could not be kept. After that, there was only a weapon he had used for many years, the Spectral War Halberd!
"By the way, do you know how to use a spear?"
"I know how to use a spear."
Ektor answered honestly.
"How about this? I'll give you this Blood Breaking Spear in exchange for your Spirit Army Flag. What do you think?"
As Lin Bei spoke, he threw the Obsidian-grade spear that he had obtained from killing Baglas to Ektor.
"This… this is?! Obsidian-grade weapon! Oh my god, this… Boss, are you really giving it to me?"
Ektor could not calm down at all.
This was an Obsidian-grade weapon!
His Spectral War Halberd was only a Platinum weapon!
As for Obsidian-grade weapons, according to his understanding, only high and mighty Monarchs were qualified to use them!
However, he was only a King-tier!
Above that was the Emperor level. Above the Emperor level was the Monarch level!
Although this weapon had not been appraised, it was obvious that it was much stronger than the Spectral War Halberd that he regarded as a treasure!
"I'm not giving it away for free. As I said, I'm using it to exchange for your Spirit Army Flag. If you accept, this bloody spear will be yours."
"Accept! We have to exchange!"
When Ektor heard this, he handed over the flag of the Ghost Army with both hands without a word.
Spirit Army Flag: Special equipment. After killing the enemy, it can absorb souls, condense undead soldiers, and store them in it. The level of the undead soldiers is related to the level of the souls. Capacity: 4,399/100,000
"It's actually a special equipment! Moreover, it can indeed be used to forge a Boss army!"
Surprise flashed across Lin Bei's eyes. This special equipment was really not bad. As long as he could collect 100,000 king-level undead souls, he could create a king-level undead army!
At that time, he could completely do whatever he wanted in the entire Heavenly Might Server!
Of course, it was only in front of the players. It was still not enough for those extraordinary existences.
"Alright, let's set off now. With these more than 4,000 undead soldiers and you, it's enough!"
Lin Bei said directly.
"Alright, let's set off now!"
Ektor nodded and took a teleportation scroll from Lin Bei. He crushed it and teleported to Green Mountain City.
When they arrived at Green Mountain City, Lin Bei spent money to buy dozens of Identification Scrolls and gave one to Ektor. Ektor excitedly took it to identify the Blood Breaking Spear.
"Haha! +3 Blood Breaking Spear! Its attack power actually exceeded 10,000! Moreover, its other attributes are also amazing! Haha, this feels too good!"
Ektor held the Blood Splitting Spear and raised his head. Uh, no, he leaned back and laughed.
"As long as you like it."
Lin Bei smiled. Now that Ektor had leveled up to Level 45 after his mutation, he could equip the Blood Breaking Spear. It was a good thing for him.
It was easier to do things when his subordinates were strong!
"Let's go. After teleporting to the Holy Light Village, listen to my orders."
"Yes, Boss!"
The two of them arrived at the teleportation array in Green Mountain City. The staff in charge of the teleportation looked at Lin Bei and then at Ektor, who was beside him. He wanted to say something but stopped.
"What are you looking at? If you continue looking, I'll chop off your head!"
Ektor said unhappily.
"Sir, he… he's from the undead race."
The staff looked at Lin Bei and asked, "Are you sure you want to teleport him to the Holy Light Village?"
"That's right. He's already under my command and signed a spirit contract with me. He won't do anything rash."
"Phew… Good. I'll help you teleport now! A total of 2 gold coins."
When the staff member heard the spirit contract, he heaved a sigh of relief and teleported the two of them away.
"How terrifying. That Undead Knight… I feel like he's probably a Domain-Lord tier martial warrior?"
"Domain-lord tier? What a joke! That descender just now is someone our City Lord Residence is trying our best to rope in! I heard from my cousin that this descender defeated a king-level existence!"
At the side, another staff member bragged, "In my opinion, anyone who can catch his eye is at least at the Sector-Lord tier! Therefore, that undead knight must be a Sector-Lord tier expert!"
When the surrounding people heard this, they gasped.
To be able to make a Sector-Lord tier undead knight follow him wholeheartedly, it seemed like that descender's strength was terrifying!
They must not offend him in the future!
…
Outside the Holy Light Village, the white-robed man's expression gradually darkened.
"It's time, Green Collar. It's time to give your answer!"
The white-robed man was aggressive. "Live or die?"
"Die, but you guys will die!"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded. Everyone was shocked and looked around. They saw a Headless Horseman more than three meters tall appear behind them. He held a blood-colored spear and had a cold aura!
Headless Horseman Ektor (Lv.45, Mutated, King-tier)
After seeing this ID, the players from the ten major guilds, no, the nine major guilds, gasped and were instantly dumbfounded.
Where did this Boss come from?
Damn it, a Level 45 Mutated King-tier Boss? Was this something that could appear in a novice village?
Damn, there must be a bug!
I want to report!
The group of people cursed in their hearts!
This is not the outcome we wanted!
However, for them, the nightmare… had just begun!
Inner Peace has begun a duel with you! Enter the duel state! After death, you will receive ten times the death penalty!
Almost instantly, a notification sounded in the ears of hundreds of people.
Everyone frowned and had a bad feeling!
However, before they could react, a black shadow descended from the sky and tore them into pieces!
You have been killed by the Undead Warrior (Lv.40, Elite)!
Death in a duel! Ten times the death penalty! Your level has decreased!
You have been punished by love! Your Strength attribute has been reduced by 50 points!
A Warrior was resurrected at the resurrection point before he could react.
Hearing the system notification beside his ear, he was dumbfounded. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"Damn! It's fine if it's ten times the experience punishment! What the hell is that Punishment of Love? I don't love you! You actually deducted 50 Strength points from me! I want to report! This is unfair!"
The Warrior looked sad. He had finally reached Level 10 and added all his points to Strength. His basic Strength attribute added up to 62 points. Now that he had died once, he only had 12 Strength points left!
The same thing happened to the players of the other nine guilds.
Every player who was challenged by Lin Bei received ten times the death penalty!
Everyone lost 50 attribute points!
The most unlucky ones were those with low attributes and had their attributes deducted. For example, a Priest's Constitution was only 10 points. After he died once, it directly became -40 points. His maximum health was only 1 point!
Moreover, this was not the most annoying part!
Even though he had put on equipment that increased his Constitution attribute, his Constitution was still negative. His maximum Health Points remained at 1 point!
What did this mean?
This meant that his account was wasted!
The only solution was that he gathered a full set of equipment that increased Constitution and raised his maximum Health Points again. But even so, he would naturally have 50 Constitution attribute points less than other players. This was a 10-level difference in attributes!
"Ah! I don't want to live anymore! I have a B-rank talent! My account is crippled just like that! Inner Peace, f*ck you! I want to report you! Ahhhh!"
"My Agility is negative! I can't run as fast as others crawling! Inner Peace, are you a human being?! I'm going to kill you! Ah! I'm dead again! My Strength is negative too! Damn!"
"I want to report you! You cheated! You cheated!"
"…"
Outside the Holy Light Village, it instantly turned into a hell. Thousands of elite spirit soldiers were harvesting the lives of the members of the nine guilds everywhere!
As the Spirit Army Flag was now owned by Lin Bei, these Specter Soldiers' attacks were also considered to be Lin Bei's own doing. Therefore, the duel status had always been in effect. The experience and attributes of the dead players of the nine major guilds were decreasing rapidly!
For a moment, screams sounded around the Holy Light Village.
"What are you waiting for? Gather the guild members and go farm dungeons! Leave this to these undead soldiers. I've already given the order. They'll only kill the members of the nine major guilds. The others will be fine."
Lin Bei came to Green Collar's side and said with a smile.
"Ah… Alright, I'll arrange it now!"
Green Collar came back to her senses as if she was dreaming.
"Go. Leave this to me. The matter between you and Unparalleled Plume is to develop in peace and build Azure Plume into a top-notch business guild!"
Lin Bei waved his hand and joined the battle.
It was because he discovered something interesting.
The Punishment of Love in the Duel Vest did not seem simple!
He realized that when he killed enemies in a duel state, he seemed to be absorbing attributes from them!
Although it was not much individually, it was a lot when gathered!
Lin Bei was excited. He rushed into the crowd and crazily harvested the lives of the members of the nine guilds. At the same time, he did not forget to use Spell Wave and continuously extended duels, pulling more and more people into a duel state!
71 I Can Increase My Attributes by Dueling! Shopkeeper Jin Stiffened!
Killed the target in the duel state! Obtained 0.01% of the target's lost attributes!
Elena's Blessing has taken effect! You have received an additional 0.01% of the target's loss attributes!
Your Strength has increased by 0.01 points!
"Haha, this Duel Vest is indeed not simple!"
Lin Bei looked at the system notification and his eyes lit up.
In the duel state, death would be punished ten times over!
Under the 10 times Punishment of Love, the target's attributes would immediately decrease by 50 points. As the killer, Lin Bei could obtain 1/10,000 of the other party's lost attributes as compensation!
Coupled with the Buff that he obtained, by killing 100 enemies, his attributes could increase by 1 point!
One had to know that more than ten thousand people from the nine guilds had come this time!
Most importantly, Lin Bei could completely let the Undead Army block the players of the nine guilds at the resurrection point!
Once they were revived, he would immediately kill them!
Although in the Holy Light Village, players' defense attributes would directly double. Especially in the resurrection area, they would obtain a tenfold defense bonus, so what?
These Specter Soldiers were Level 40 elite monsters. Their Attack Power exceeded 2,000. Even if the players of the nine guilds hid in the resurrection point, they would not be able to resist them at all!
Moreover, the Spirit Army Flag was now controlled by Lin Bei, so the killing of these Spirit Soldiers would go to Lin Bei's name. He could still obtain the killing attributes!
Although he only had 0.01 attribute points at a time, there were many people from the nine guilds!
After one round, he could obtain 100 basic attribute points!
Of course, this required him to kill a player in the duel state. If it was just a normal kill, the attributes he obtained would only be one in a hundred thousand.
"What a pity. The Level 5 Spell Wave only covers an area of 50 meters. A duel can only envelop a few hundred people. The efficiency is a little low."
Lin Bei frowned slightly and looked at the two Limit Breaking Crystals in his inventory. He gritted his teeth and directly broke the limit of the Spell Wave.
This skill had to break through the limit sooner or later. Now that he needed it, Lin Bei was not too hesitating.
After all, there was a chance of dropping the Limit Breaking Crystal as long as he killed the Mutated Boss. He had the Mutated Blood and had plenty of opportunities.
Moreover, after the Spell Wave broke the limit, it could cover an area of 100 meters, making it easier and faster to farm attributes!
One duel could envelop about 2,000 people, and the efficiency was greatly increased!
However, soon, Lin Bei was helpless. Many players from the nine guilds had their attributes reduced to negative. This way, although killing them would still reduce their attributes, Lin Bei could not continue to obtain attributes from them.
"It's not satisfying enough."
Lin Bei frowned and sighed.
The nine major guilds could've sent more people over. This way, he could farm more Attributes. At that time, he might be able to directly break through the attribute limit. He would not have to spend effort and time to collect Attribute Equipment.
If the upper echelons of the nine major guilds knew of his thoughts, they would probably vomit blood.
Damn it, of course we don't only have so many people! In the rear, we still have more than 100,000 players gathered and waiting! These 10,000 people are just the advance force!
However, the problem is that you have summoned a Level 40 Undead army with a wave of your hand. Not only are there thousands of them, but there is also a King-tier Mutated Boss with nearly 100 million Health Points! What is the point of fighting!
Wouldn't letting those 100,000 people come over be suicide?
Be a human!
Lin Bei was very bored. In the Holy Light Village, the undead soldiers were stationed.
As long as it was a player from the Nine Great Guilds, he would kill them all.
These 10,000 members of the nine major guilds were completely crippled.
The undead soldiers were not players. They were soldiers refined from the undead army flag. They did not need to rest and could guard here 24 hours a day without moving.
This made the tens of thousands of players from the nine guilds suffer.
Among these people, there were many elites from the guild, but now… their attributes were all negative. Every time they revived, they would die, and their attributes would decrease more and more miserably. There were even unlucky people who had more than 1,000 negative attributes. They directly deleted their accounts and started over.
The other players also went offline after dying a few times.
What the f*ck was there to play!
If they died once, they would lose 50 attribute points. Before the profession advancement, this was ten levels of points!
Damn the Punishment of Love!
F*ck!
Trash game, I'll go out and report it now!
The players from the nine guilds had been attacked together. They typed crazily in the forum and reported crazily to the officials.
However, the reports were quickly rejected.
Moreover, the attributes of an equipment were announced.
Duel Vest (True Love): Special equipment. After wearing it, you can propose a duel to your opponent. Duel: Force a 1v1 battle to the death. The party who dies will receive ten times the death penalty! Punishment of Love: Exclusive death penalty. After killing the target, the target's random attribute will lose 5 points.
In an instant, everyone from the nine guilds shut up.
What kind of trash equipment was this!
Every time he died, he would lose 5 attribute points. Moreover, if he died in a duel state, he would lose 10 times the attribute points!
Damn, something was wrong!
"Official! The duel is clearly supposed to be 1v1! Back then, many of us were dueled by that dog, Inner Peace, at the same time! We need an explanation!"
"Yes! We need an explanation!"
For a moment, the criticisms started again.
Not quickly enough, the officials responded.
However, this time, the officials did not give any equipment or skill introduction. Instead, they directly replied to everyone, "There's nothing unusual with Inner Peace's data."
After that, no matter how noisy the players were, there was no response.
At this moment, All-knowing Man in Gang Hood continued to post.
After some analysis, he finally proposed three possibilities.
First, Inner Peace's talent might have the ability to transform specific skills into area-of-effect attacks!
Secondly, Inner Peace's equipment had similar special effects!
Thirdly, Inner Peace obtained a special item that could trigger a group attack effect for a short period of time!
However, he was more inclined to the first scenario. After all, in the previous video, Inner Peace had also used single-target spells a few times. During this period of time, his equipment had been constantly upgrading, so the possibility of it being items or equipment was not high. Instead, the possibility of it being talent was higher!
"All-knowing Man's analysis is right! In my opinion, this must be that guy's talent!"
"That's right, that's right! I'm from the Holy Light Village. I heard that he learned Discipline Spell at Level 1! It seems that he had this talent from the beginning. Think about it, how terrifying is an AoE Discipline Spell? No wonder he leveled up so quickly! Case closed!"
"All-knowing Man is awesome! Inner Peace is awesome!"
All-knowing Man in Gang Hood: "You flatter me. If anyone has any questions in the future, you can private message me. I will choose some popular questions. I will continue to post analysis posts to explain to everyone! Also, I will continue to follow up on Inner Peace. Everyone, remember to follow me. Don't miss out on my posts!"
…
On the other side, Lin Bei received another share of the video income from the system.
He shrugged. He was used to it.
Now that the entire world was filled with videos about him, he would more or less get a share of the profits. He even thought that in the future, when he was bored, he would directly become a vlogger or something. He could earn money lying down.
Although there were only dozens or hundreds of gold coins at a time, there were many videos!
If he gained dozens of gold coins every once in a while, in a day, it would be more than ten thousand.
"I'm almost done here. Next, I only need to leave a few hundred undead soldiers to guard the resurrection point. As for the rest, I can put them away."
Lin Bei thought for a moment and used the Spirit Army flag to put away the Spirit Soldiers. He only left 300 Level 40 elite soldiers in the Holy Light Village to guard the resurrection point and continue to intimidate the players of the nine guilds.
"Haha, this is too awesome! After the killing spree, I've gathered a lot of life force! This energy is enough to condense more than a hundred drops of king-level blood! Boss, if you need anything, just tell me!"
"Yes, I don't need that much for the time being. Keep this life force to increase your strength. If I really lack it in the future, I'll look for you again."
Lin Bei waved his hand. He still had nine drops of King's Blood in his hand. As long as he controlled it well, he could generate blood infinitely. He did not need to trouble Ektor to continue making blood.
It was better to let him increase his strength as soon as possible.
When he reached the Emperor level and could create the blood of an Emperor, he would be of great help.
Ektor was extremely touched when he heard this. Boohoo, Boss is too good to me. First, he helped me break through, then he gave me the Obsidian-grade Blood Breaking Spear. Now, he even gave me all the life force to increase my strength!
As for him, he had only killed a group of noobs along the way.
This… simply made him feel extremely ashamed!
"I can't let Boss down! I have to increase my strength as soon as possible! I have to become Boss's right-hand man! I have to help him clear all the obstacles!"
Ektor made up his mind. "I must become stronger!"
"Alright, go back. Gather the others and wait for my orders."
Lin Bei waved his hand and sent Ektor away. He jogged to the grocery store in the Holy Light Village and found Shopkeeper Jin.
"Eh, didn't you just leave? Why are you back so soon? Is there something you need from me?"
Shopkeeper Jin, who was humming a tune on the recliner, looked surprised and puzzled.
Why was this kid back again?
Could it be that he had encountered some trouble?
"Haha, Shopkeeper Jin, I'm indeed looking for you this time! Look, what is this?"
Lin Bei smiled and took out his backpack. He slapped it on the counter of the grocery store.
"Damn? This… is Full of Vigor? Damn, am I dreaming?"
Almost instantly, Shopkeeper Jin jumped up. His eyes widened as he stared at the book on the counter that emitted a rich blood energy without blinking. He felt his entire body freeze.
Damn, what kind of tricks did this kid have?
Or could it be that my realm has increased to the point that everything I want will happen?
But that's not right. Why didn't I know that I was so awesome?
But no matter what, this kid is really my little… lucky star!
Haha, how long has it been? He's found Full of Vigor!
It felt good!
So good!
72 Kid, Do You Want to Earn Big Money?
Shopkeeper Jin put away Full of Vigor and leaped over the counter to Lin Bei. He patted the latter's shoulder and said in surprise, "Kid, I just want to say that you're really a f*cking talent!"
"How about this? 10,000 Bobo coins is too few!"
Shopkeeper Jin thought for a moment and directly threw Lin Bei a Bobo Coin that flickered with the light of diamond. He said, "This is a Diamond Bobo Coin. One of them is equivalent to 10,000 Bobo Coins! In addition, I owe you a favor! If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me for help!"
"Although I'm not a powerful figure, I'm good at formations. If you need help in the future, feel free to look for me!"
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Jin!"
"Don't be so distant! You keep calling me Shopkeeper. It makes me uncomfortable!"
Shopkeeper Jin waved his hand and said bluntly, "My real name is Jin Dadao. You can call me Master Dao or Master Jin."
"Jin Dadao? Isn't it Jin Dadou (Golden Soybean)?"
Lin Bei thought to himself.
"Who the hell said my name is Golden Soybean? My name is Jin Dadao!"
However, just as this thought arose in Lin Bei's heart, Shopkeeper Jin was furious and scolded, "Did that old thing Bobo say that?"
"Uh… How can you know what I'm thinking?"
Lin Bei's heart turned cold. Damn it, was this a scam?
This game could read players' thoughts?
"Oh, this. It's not that mysterious. You have to know that once you reach a certain level, you can still feel malice very clearly."
Shopkeeper Jin explained, "For example, if you say that I'm a golden soybean in your heart, you're demeaning me and I can feel it. Therefore, let me remind you not to have any bad thoughts in front of a powerful Extraordinary figure. Otherwise, it's very easy to be discovered!"
"Ah? Then Bobo…"
Lin Bei's heart turned cold. He had been scolding that guy behind his back recently. Could he have been sensed?
"Him? He's a disgrace to the Extraordinary! However, his mechanical skills are indeed powerful. Without those powerful machines, his strength is definitely at the bottom among the Extraordinary!"
Shopkeeper Jin curled his lips in disdain and said, "If it's him, he might not have reached this realm yet, but it's hard to say. His machines are powerful, and he might have a way to make up for it! However, the Extraordinary are also humans, not gods. As long as they're far away, they won't be able to feel it even if you curse them! However, it's better to be careful."
"Thank you for your guidance, Master Jin. I've learned something!"
Lin Bei was shocked. At the same time, he made up his mind not to ridicule Bobo if he was not Bobo's match in the future!
"Yes, it's just a small matter. Just be careful in the future."
Shopkeeper Jin smiled and said, "Besides, this might be a good thing."
"Good thing?"
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reacted and asked, "You're saying that if I scold him, he will sense it, but if I praise him, he will also sense it?"
"Yes! That's right! If he feels your flattery in your heart, he will definitely be secretly happy. After all, a person's words can't be taken seriously on the surface. Only the thoughts in his heart are the truest. Do you understand what I mean?"
Shopkeeper Jin smiled evilly.
"Understood!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this. At the same time, he thought to himself, "Master Jin is really too awesome! He's simply a god who has descended to the mortal world. He's wise and mighty…"
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop praising me! If you continue praising me, I'll vomit!"
Shopkeeper Jin's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly shouted to stop.
Damn it, I didn't teach you these things to make fun of me!
Forget it, I won't argue with him!
"By the way, kid, I think you're a good person. I wonder if you want to earn big money?"
Shopkeeper Jin raised his hand and waved it. He set up a barrier around him and said mysteriously.
"Big money?"
"Yes, big money!"
Shopkeeper Jin said in a deep voice, "There's a Blood Demon Clan near the abyss. Their clan lives in the Blood Demon World, and the Blood Demon World wanders in the void turbulence. It's very difficult to find them. I know that you have a Blood Demon Token. You can use it to enter the Blood Demon Mystic Realm, kill the Blood Demons, and extract their blood for me! In return, I'll give you a considerable reward. What do you think?"
"Well…"
Lin Bei frowned slightly. This matter did not seem to be that simple.
The Blood Demon race was an existence that even the Level 200 Alina found extremely troublesome!
"Don't worry, I only need the rich flesh aura! I won't do anything bad! If you don't believe me, we can sign a spirit contract."
"Okay, let's sign it now."
Lin Bei said bluntly.
To be honest, he was really afraid that Shopkeeper Jin would do something out of line.
"You… Damn, you don't trust me?"
Shopkeeper Jin's mouth twitched fiercely when he heard this. He was a little angry.
"Just sign it. That way, I can do things in peace."
"Alright, I'll sign it!"
Shopkeeper Jin shrugged and signed the spirit contract.
The Spirit Contract was formed by the spiritual aura of heaven and earth. Once it took effect, no one could violate it. Otherwise, they would be punished by the Heavens.
Even an Extraordinary lifeform could not withstand it!
However, Shopkeeper Jin did not care. In any case, he did not have any crooked thoughts. He just wanted some pure and abundant blood energy.
If not for the fact that he was too strong and would be rejected by the Blood Demon World, he would have long spent money to buy the Blood Demon Token and entered the mystic realm to collect blood energy. Why would he need this kid?
"By the way, are you the Extraordinary unable to enter the Blood Demon World?"
"Oh? You can tell?"
Shopkeeper Jin nodded and said, "That's right. If you want to enter the Blood Demon World, you have to be below the Extraordinary level. Otherwise, you will be rejected by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Blood Demon World. At best, you will be injured, and at worst, you will die. Of course, it's not impossible to enter it, but… such an opportunity is too slim. Only when the Blood Demon World overlaps or approaches the Heavenly Might World can the Extraordinary enter it!"
"But at the same time, the other party's extraordinary figures can also enter the Heavenly Might World! It might not be a good thing for us."
Lin Bei nodded.
He knew this. After all, the nine servers in Second World were actually nine planes in the setting. They were different, but they were vaguely related.
As for the Blood Demon World, it should be another independent world.
"Alright, cut the crap. Are you going to do this business?"
Shopkeeper Jin asked impatiently. Lin Bei did not believe him previously, which made him a little uncomfortable.
However, he could not flare up at this. After all, strictly speaking, they had only known each other for two days. It was too short. Who would be stupid enough to trust each other?
"I'll do it!"
"Haha, alright! I'll wait for your good news!"
Shopkeeper Jin laughed and took out an alchemy instrument that was like a syringe from his storage ring. "This is a blood purifier. I've added a Spirit Tempering Array on it, so the effect is even better! It can be used to extract the Blood Demon's blood directly! Take this so that you won't be at a loss when you see a pool of dirty blood and pus."
"Good stuff!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. This was indeed good stuff. If he had this before, he would have been able to extract the King's Blood when facing the Tainted-Blood Fanatic and Baglas.
"Alright, go ahead. As for the price, we'll settle it with Bobo coins! The higher the quality of the blood, the higher the price."
After Shopkeeper Jin finished speaking, he waved his hand and jumped over the counter. He leaned against the recliner and rested.
Lin Bei hesitated.
"Why? Is there anything else?"
Shopkeeper Jin glared at him with an unfriendly expression.
"Well, Master Jin, every time I came before, you would give me your blessings or praises. Why didn't you do it this time?"
Lin Bei asked expectantly.
To be honest, he really wanted Shopkeeper Jin to give him another Buff!
"Hmph, you didn't trust me before, so I won't give it to you this time! Wait until you gather enough Blood Demon Blood!"
With that, Shopkeeper Jin disappeared without a trace, leaving Lin Bei alone in the entire grocery store.
Seeing this, Lin Bei shrugged.
Sigh, since Master Jin, who is wise, mighty, talented, elegant, extraordinary, and handsome, has said so, I should obediently do what I should do. This way, the wise, powerful, talented, and elegant…
"Alright! Get lost! I'm going to vomit! Isn't it just a blessing? I'll give it to you, alright? Get lost, get lost!"
Suddenly, an angry roar came from the sky. Then, a red light landed on Lin Bei.
Success!
"Thank you, Master Jin! Master Jin is really wise, mighty, elegant, and extraordinary…"
"Damn it! Get lost! Get lost!"
A powerful force instantly descended from the sky and wrapped around Lin Bei. Lin Bei felt dizzy and in the next moment, he had already appeared outside Green Mountain City.
In the backyard of the Holy Light Village's grocery store, Jin Dadao wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt that he had shot himself in the foot.
Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have told that kid.
Damn, I'm so angry!
Can't you flatter a little more unobtrusively?
It was very fake for you to praise me so openly!
…
Outside Green Mountain City, Lin Bei smiled brightly.
Because he had obtained another powerful Buff!
It had to be said that Shopkeeper Jin was his lucky star!
73 Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing! Ruins Guardian!
"Shopkeeper Jin, he's really a good person!"
Lin Bei sighed.
Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing: Treasure drop rate +100%. Ignores the punishment of strengthening failure. Duration: ∞.
Another 100% treasure drop bonus! At the same time, there was an additional effect that ignored the failure of the enhancement!
Moreover, under the effect of the Infinite Buff, the Buff effect, which could only last for one hour, became permanent!
"Awesome! With this talent, as long as I have enough Strengthening Tokens in the future, I don't have to worry at all!"
Lin Bei thought to himself.
Originally, there was a special item in the Second World that ignored the punishment of failure. It was called the Blessing Crystal. With the Blessing Crystal, even if the strengthening failed, the player would not be punished for failure.
However, now that Lin Bei had Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing, it was equivalent to having infinite Blessing Crystals!
In the future, he could finally strengthen his equipment without worry!
If he could obtain the Blessing Crystal, he could completely sell it. This thing was something all top players dreamed of!
He could easily sell it for a high price!
Even if he did not sell it to players, he could exchange it for Bobo Coins to buy other things he needed.
In short, Shopkeeper Jin's Blessing was definitely another divine Buff!
With it, Lin Bei would not have to worry about not having powerful equipment in the future!
"Good people should live a long life."
Lin Bei looked at the gate of Green Mountain City in front of him and did not choose to enter the city. Instead, he turned around and continued to approach the targets on the bounty missions.
He had just wasted some time because of the nine guilds. Now, he had to speed up.
He had a total of 11 A-rank bounties and 36 B-rank bounties.
So far, he had only killed Baglas, who had a Level A bounty on his head. At the same time, he had completed a Level A scam mission with the head of the Headless Horseman.
At this moment, he still had 9 Level A missions and 36 Level B missions to complete.
Moreover, he still had to make time to go to the spatial arena to give some guidance and training to the newly established team. After all, the National Challenge Competition would be held in less than three days. This was his only chance to lead the team into WWL. Otherwise, he would have to wait until next year.
He didn't want to waste time. Moreover, with his current attributes, he could actually enter WWL with just his personal attributes. However, it was still necessary to form a team. Firstly, the Alliance didn't allow individuals to participate in the competition. Secondly, he couldn't keep competing. It was the right way to nurture powerful team members and help him earn money in the competition!
He wanted to increase his strength!
For some reason, as he became stronger and came into contact with more and more extraordinary NPCs, he could not see through the reason for the existence of Second World!
Coupled with the appearance of the genetic potion, he had a faint premonition.
This Second World might not be a simple game!
Therefore, he had to increase his strength as much as possible to prevent himself from regretting when something unexpected happened one day!
In his previous life, he was already behind others. Although he tried his best to catch up later, it was still useless!
Therefore, in this life, he wanted to be ahead of everyone and seize every opportunity!
"No matter what happens in the future, it's definitely not wrong to increase my strength!"
If possible, he had to think of a way to get another bottle of genetic strengthening potion!
Of course, this thing was not easy to obtain. He still had to consider it at length.
"I'll clear the bounty missions first. I have to use the Bloodshed Tavern's points to exchange for some items! Apart from that, I have to level up as soon as possible. When I reach Level 30, I can continue to learn new profession-specific skills! Moreover, when I equip the Tainted Blood Magic Blade, my strength can advance further!"
Lin Bei had a plan in his heart and entered a crazy mission clearing mode!
…
In Sunset Swamp, Poison Scorpion Nopra fell to the ground with a scream!
You have killed Poisonous Scorpion Nopra (Lv.45, Mutated, King-tier)! Obtained 5 million experience points!
Swoosh!
As the golden light fell, Lin Bei finally reached Level 26.
Currently, he needed more than 6 million EXP to level up. Fortunately, the EXP reward for solo killing a King-tier Boss above his level was very high. Therefore, although his leveling up experience was ten times that of others, it was still acceptable.
"There are still 8 King-tier Bosses and 36 Sector-Lord tier Bosses. It should be enough for me to reach Level 30."
Lin Bei extracted the King's Blood, put away the spoils of war, and left Sunset Swamp without stopping.
…
In One-Line-Sky, the Shadow Assassin Night Cat lay in a pool of blood.
At the foot of the Golden Tree, the Golden Priest Richard turned into ashes under the Discipline Spell.
On the floating island, Falconer Carlos died in grievance.
Wandering Plains…
Nightmare Beach…
…
Lin Bei was very efficient. Every time he arrived at an area, he would attack the Boss. Once he activated all his buffs and maxed out his resources, he would bombard the Boss.
Previously, his movement speed might be a little lacking, but with the Ghost Warhorse, his movement speed had doubled again. He was like a fish in water when chasing after these King-tier Bosses!
No matter who it was, as long as he caught them, they would not be able to escape death!
"There's still one King-tier Boss left! Guardian of the Sunset Dynasty in the Sunset Ruins!"
Lin Bei's expression became much more serious.
He had said before that there were strong and weak King-tier Bosses, and the Ruins Guardians were the top existences among King-tier Bosses!
They had the bodies of ancient creatures and were very powerful.
Even some weaker Emperor-tier Bosses might not be their match!
There was no other reason. The strength of the Ruins Guardians was extremely terrifying. Even though they had fallen to the King Rank, it was only because of the corrosion of time that their strength had been lost.
In short, the older the ruins, the stronger the guardians!
Of course, this was not about their skills, but their actual combat ability!
The combat instincts of an ancient creature were beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Even Lin Bei did not have the confidence to win!
Because just as he had said before, if you wanted to win, there was a prerequisite. That was that your attack could hit the other party!
If he could not hit it, everything would be in vain.
"Phew, the last A-rank bounty mission. After killing this Ruins Guardian, I should be able to successfully reach Level 30!"
Outside the Sunset Ruins, Lin Bei's expression was solemn. After taking a deep breath, he stepped into the ruins.
He would give it a try first. If it really didn't work, he would kill the other Sector-Lord tier Bosses first. When he reached Level 30 and changed his equipment, he would deal with that guy again!
You have entered the Sunset Ruins (Lv.40~Lv.50)!
Your tracks have been discovered by the Guardian of the Sunset Dynasty, Jian Yi! Please be careful!
As soon as he stepped into the Sunset Ruins, a System notification sounded in Lin Bei's ear.
He had already exposed his tracks!
"Mortal, leave the ruins and I'll spare your life!"
A thunderous voice sounded in the sky above the ruins. Lin Bei looked up and saw a swordsman wearing a bamboo hat and a silver cloak standing in the air at the end of his vision. His gaze was sharp as he looked over.
Sunset Dynasty Guardian, Jian Yi (Lv.50, Mutated, King-tier): The guardian of the Sunset Ruins. The dynasty was destroyed 3,000 years ago and he has been staying here to kill all adventurers who dare to step into the ruins ever since.
"A 3,000-year-old creature!"
Lin Bei's eyes darkened. Normally speaking, the reaction time of a 2,000-year-old undead body was 0.1 seconds, which was the limit of a normal person's body.
3,000 years would only exceed the limits of the human body!
The current Lin Bei had an extreme reaction of 0.1 seconds. It was very troublesome to deal with this Ruins Guardian!
"Should I attack?"
Lin Bei frowned and glanced at his powerful Buffs and skills. He gritted his teeth.
Let's do it!
The Kings from before were all unchallenging. He did not feel anything when he fought. Instead, existences like the Ruins Guardians could truly train his skills!
So what if it exceeds the limits of the human body?
I have all kinds of Buffs on me. It's not that easy to kill me!
However, as long as I have a chance, I can kill him!
It was worth a try!
Lin Bei took a deep breath and took another step forward.
"Very good. Since you're not retreating, don't blame me for being heartless."
Jian Yi was expressionless. The green sword in his hand hummed softly, and a sword light tore through the sky and landed in front of Lin Bei in the blink of an eye!
"So fast!"
Lin Bei's pupils trembled. However, he, who was prepared in advance, still blocked the attack.
Perfect block!
Not a single drop of blood.
Lin Bei's expression was solemn. Although he had completed the perfect block, it was too strenuous.
If he had not prepared in advance, he would not have been able to block this sword!
As expected of a 3,000-year-old soul body. It was indeed powerful!
It seemed that he could finally fight with all his might!
Lin Bei was excited. After entering the game for two days, he had yet to meet an opponent whom he could fight with all his might. Now, it seemed that… he could finally fight!
"You actually blocked my sword?"
Obviously, Jian Yi, who was standing in the air, was also a little surprised. He bent down and quickly condensed a sharp sword aura. "Can you withstand the second strike?"
74 If I Can't Beat Him, I'll Trick Him! Sunset Ore?
The second strike was even stronger and faster!
This time, although Lin Bei was prepared in advance, he could barely block it.
-30,000!
A damage number floated up!
The block successfully reduced 90% of the damage. Coupled with the 50% damage reduction from Combat Frenzy, he still received 30,000 damage!
In other words, if he was hit directly, the other party's sword could deal at least 300,000 damage to him!
Even with the Holy Light Shield and the War God Shield, his shield would be broken after at most seven to eight strikes!
Now, Lin Bei's upper limit of Health Points was less than 300,000 points. Once the shield shattered and he was hit by the other party's sword, he might be dead!
Therefore, there were two key points in Lin Bei's battle. First, he could not let the shields shatter! Second, he had to block all the other party's attacks!
This was a huge challenge for him now!
After all, his extreme reaction time was only 0.1 seconds, and the other party's reaction time was about 0.07 seconds. Although there was only a difference of 0.03 seconds, such a gap was enough to be fatal in a battle that was ever-changing!
"Very good. After so many years, there's finally a decent challenger!"
When Jian Yi saw that his second strike had been blocked by Lin Bei, he was not shocked but happy. A smile appeared on his originally calm face. "Not bad. I, Jian Yi, have guarded the ruins of the dynasty for 3,000 years. Your strength is enough to rank in the top 30 among all the challengers. In other words, you can be considered a rare genius in a hundred years."
"As a fellow human, I won't kill you, but it's not so easy to successfully complete the challenge!"
Jian Yi took a step forward and appeared in front of Lin Bei. He said, "My sword has a total of nine moves. Previously, you've already withstood the first two moves. There are still seven moves left. If you can withstand all of them, I'll acknowledge your strength! At that time, you will pass the ruins challenge, and I'll give you a portion of Divinity Dust!"
"Divinity Dust? What's that?"
Lin Bei frowned and asked.
"Heh, if you want to know, take my nine strikes first!"
Jian Yi smiled faintly and did not answer Lin Bei. Instead, he took him by surprise and slashed out instantly.
This sword slashed out from below. It was extremely fast, and it was incomparably fierce.
"Oh no!"
Lin Bei's expression changed. Because he was very close, it was difficult for him to react.
Swoosh!
-600,000!
In an instant, the Holy Light Shield shattered.
"Fourth strike!"
Jian Yi took advantage of the victory and chased after him. He turned into a meteor and stabbed out with his sword. The sword aura was like a rainbow.
Ding!
Block!
-80,000!
"Not bad!"
Jian Yi praised. His figure instantly split into seven and stabbed at Lin Bei from seven different directions. At the same time, he chuckled and said, "Fifth strike!"
This sword blocked all directions for Lin Bei to dodge!
Ding ding ding ding!
At the critical moment, Lin Bei quickly blocked. However, even so, he only blocked four of the swords, and his body was hit three times!
Fortunately, his reaction was fast and he dodged the weaknesses in time. Otherwise, he would be in danger if the three slashes hit him critically!
However, even so, Lin Bei's War God Shield only had less than 200,000 capacity!
"Sixth strike!"
Jian Yi flew up and shouted in a deep voice. The green sword in his hand was thrown into the air. In an instant, it transformed into more than a thousand sword shadows.
"Kid, can you still withstand it?"
Lin Bei frowned and looked at the thousands of sword shadows in the sky. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Block?
Only a fool would block it!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless air-piercing sounds rang out as more than a thousand sword shadows rushed down and attacked Lin Bei, sealing all his escape routes!
"Earth Escape Technique!"
Lin Bei adapted to the situation and burrowed underground, dodging the sword shadow attack.
"Eh, interesting."
Seeing this, Jian Yi was slightly stunned.
However, just as he was in a daze, Lin Bei, who had just escaped underground, suddenly broke out of the ground and flew into the air. A Discipline Spell landed on Jian Yi!
BOOM!
Jian Yi's health had decreased by more than 3 million points!
At the same time, the speed reduction effect of the Paralysis Ring was triggered, and Jian Yi's speed was reduced by 30%!
This way, it would not be so easy to dodge his attack!
Lin Bei had waited for so long for this opportunity!
As for being beaten up passively?
He would not do that!
Who cares if it's nine or ten strikes? Do you think I'll block them just because you say so?
While Jian Yi was slowed down, Lin Bei used Discipline Spell to bombard Jian Yi!
"Hahaha, you're indeed interesting!"
Jian Yi laughed. The silver cloak behind him instantly turned into a huge shield that blocked the attack of Discipline Spell. At the same time, he disappeared and reappeared behind Lin Bei. He smiled and stabbed him in the back. "Seventh strike!"
This sword was pointed at the back of Lin Bei's heart. Once it hit, it would definitely trigger a critical hit!
However, at this critical moment, Lin Bei's shield skill had completely cooled down. Two shields instantly covered his body and blocked this fatal sword strike!
"F*ck."
The faint smile on Jian Yi's lips suddenly froze. Looking at the shields that suddenly appeared on Lin Bei's body, he could not help but curse softly, "Kid, are you a turtle? There are so many shells!"
Originally, this sword strike could have determined the winner.
Who would have thought…
The moment Jian Yi stopped, Lin Bei quickly turned around and punched the bridge of Jian Yi's nose, causing him to instantly lean back and lose his balance.
Two Discipline Spells immediately followed up and dealt more than 1.6 million damage to Sword!
At this point, Jian Yi's Health Points had decreased by 10,000,000. There was still 90% left, which was 90,000,000 Health Points.
"Eighth…"
"Eighth my ass!"
Just as Jian Yi was about to attack, Lin Bei quickly pounced forward and hugged Jian Yi. He used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them entered the ground. Jian Yi was stuck in a crack in the rock underground while Lin Bei was like a fish in water. He quickly escaped into the other party's blind spot and kept releasing Discipline Spells to attack the other party!
Numerous damage numbers above 3,000,000 floated above Jian Yi's head, making him extremely depressed.
"You… you don't care about morals!"
Jian Yi shouted as he struggled.
However, this was a ruin. The rocks underground were extremely hard. Even if he was a King-tier expert, it was very difficult for him to break through in a short period of time!
"No, at this speed, I'll die before I can rush out!"
Jian Yi sensed that his life aura was getting weaker and weaker. He did not hesitate anymore and shouted, "Eleventh strike! Become One with the Sword!"
He used his trump card, the eleventh sword move, to give Lin Bei a fatal blow!
Previously, he had said that it was nine strikes. It was just an excuse he gave Lin Bei. At the same time, it was also a trial. If the other party could really withstand it, he did not mind giving him some benefits.
But now… his life was seriously threatened. If he hid any more moves, he would be a fool!
In an instant, Jian Yi transformed into a dazzling sword and broke through the blockade of rocks, instantly piercing through Lin Bei!
"Damn, didn't he only have nine moves? He's indeed a liar!"
This sword was too fast. Lin Bei did not have time to react before it pierced through him.
Immune!
The effect of the Paladin's Oath was instantly effective, helping Lin Bei escape death.
"Kid, you're not dead yet?!"
After retracting his attack, Jian Yi was shocked. He looked at Lin Bei, who was covered in dust with his equipment shattered. He asked in disbelief, "Even an Emperor-tier expert couldn't block my sword just now. How did you block it?"
"Oh, I have the effect of the Paladin's Oath on me. I'm immune to a fatal attack. Your sword was blocked by it."
Lin Bei shrugged and said casually, "But don't fight me anymore! You said that you only have nine moves. Now that the eleventh move is out and I blocked it, according to what you said before, shouldn't you give me some Divinity Dust?"
"Well… okay."
Jian Yi felt suffocated. He really wanted to kill this annoying kid in front of him with one strike, but when he thought about it, no matter if it was luck or anything, this kid had at least done it. Moreover, in the previous battle, although his reaction was a little slow, his thinking was agile and he had schemed against him. His aptitude was not bad, so it was not too much to give him a portion of Divinity Dust.
"By the way, I see that you're not even Level 30, right? What are you doing in this ruin?"
"Oh, I accepted an A-rank bounty mission to enter the Sunset Ruins and obtain the Sunset Ore."
"What Sunset Ore?"
Jian Yi was stunned. I've lived here for 3,000 years. Why didn't I know that there was something called Sunset Ore here?
"Oh, this is it."
As Lin Bei spoke, he took out the bounty mission notice and handed it to Jian Yi.
On the list was a yellowish ore. The ore shone brightly and had an indescribable heaviness.
"You call this Sunset Ore?"
Jian Yi looked like he had seen a ghost. He looked around and then whispered into Lin Bei's ear, "This… This is the poop I've defecated all these years! It's just solidified after a long time!"
"What? Damn!"
When Lin Bei heard this, he was dumbfounded.
Damn, if he remembered correctly, the purpose of the Sunset Ore was written on the bounty mission. It seemed to be… making a potion to strengthen one's foundation and nurture one's essence?
"I—"
Lin Bei almost vomited blood. This mission, what the hell?
"Kid, this is a good thing! I haven't been able to go out for so many years. I was worried about how to deal with these… Ahem, Sunset Ores. Why don't you help me?"
"Forget it."
"Don't. If you take them all away, I'll feel good too."
Jian Yi said, "How about this? I see that you're talented and have a bright future. If you agree, I'll reward you with an upgrade and exchange the Divinity Dust for Divinity Fragments! How about that?"
"I don't know that either. I don't even know what Divinity Dust or Divinity Fragment is!"
"That's true. Then I'll show you. If you're willing to help, I'll give you the fragment. If not, there'll only be dust."
As Jian Yi spoke, two wooden boxes appeared in his hand and he slowly opened them.
Lin Bei took a closer look and his breathing suddenly stopped.
This… did such a thing really exist?!
75 Divinity Dust and Divinity Fragment!
Lin Bei felt his breathing freeze.
The effects of the Divinity Dust and Divinity Fragments were too unbelievable!
Divinity Dust: After use, Divinity +1, 1% of basic attributes can be synchronized to reality. Time consumed: 1 hour.
Divinity Fragment: After use, Divinity +5, 5% of basic attributes can be synchronized to reality. Time consumed: 5 hours.
"Is this… for real?!"
Lin Bei's scalp went numb and he was a little dumbfounded.
In his previous life, he had never heard of such a thing!
"Are you dumbfounded? Haha, it's no wonder. As a Descended One, you should be the first to obtain a divine item. It's normal for you to have such a reaction!"
Jian Yi smiled faintly. "You've seen the thing. Have you thought about it?"
"How did you obtain this Divinity Powder and Fragment?" be𝚍𝚗𝚘ve𝚕.c𝚘𝚖
Lin Bei asked impatiently.
"It's simple. As long as you pass the trial of some Ruins Guardians, you can obtain Divinity Powder."
Jian Yi explained patiently, "However, you have to challenge the Ruins Guardians who are more than 2,000 years old to have a chance to obtain the Divinity Powder. As for the Divinity Fragment… Generally speaking, only by defeating a guardian of the Emperor-level ruins can you have a chance to obtain it. I obtained this fragment by chance. You can be considered lucky."
"…I can obtain Divinity Dust by challenging ruins that are more than 2,000 years old? Damn, why didn't I know!"
Lin Bei was stunned for a while before he suddenly reacted. That's right. If it were him, he wouldn't have told anyone about the Divinity Powder!
While others did not know, the right choice was to hoard more Divinity Powder!
In his previous life, in the world ten years later, the existence of a King-tier Boss was not invincible!
Although the Ruins Guardians were extremely powerful, there were still a few people who could defeat them!
"In that case, those people hid this information back then?"
Lin Bei's eyes moved slightly, and he was even more certain.
"What about Apollo now?"
Lin Bei suddenly realized something. With Apollo's current strength, could he deal with the Ruins Guardian?
He wasn't sure.
However, he had to be concerned.
This was because as long as the reaction speed and attributes of a player could keep up with the Ruins Guardian's, it was not impossible to deal with it.
A normal human's limit reaction was 0.1 seconds, but what if Apollo took the Genetic Strengthening Potion in the real world and broke through this limit?
Did that mean that he could also defeat a Ruins Guardian who had been around for more than 2,000 years and obtain the Divinity Powder?
Lin Bei took a deep breath.
His heart turned solemn.
Apollo was possible, but what about Longevity Sword? What about the other top WWL players? What about them?
Lin Bei suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
This pressure was getting stronger and stronger.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering if any other Descended Ones have also obtained Divinity Dust."
"Oh, about that. Don't worry, not yet. You should be the first."
Jian Yi said calmly.
"I'm not talking about the Heavenly Might World, but about other worlds."
"Same thing. You're the first."
Jian Yi smiled and patted Lin Bei's shoulder. "I have my sources. Don't worry, you're definitely the first. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made an exception to take out the Divinity Fragment as a reward! However… there are indeed a few Descended Ones who are about to get it. Well… I think there's someone called Apollo? Tsk tsk, this guy calls himself the Sun God. He's really arrogant. I wonder if he'll die miserably when the real Sun God finds out!"
"Apollo! He's about to get the Divinity Powder too?"
Lin Bei asked solemnly.
"More or less. This kid is not bad. He knew that he couldn't win, so he went to find help. From the looks of it, he can pass the trial in a day or two at most."
Jian Yi shrugged as if he did not care.
However, his words made Lin Bei take it seriously.
As expected, some top players could still touch this level!
"The synchronization of basic attributes shouldn't count the equipment bonus. It's just calculating the character's attributes. From the looks of it, my attributes are a little low."
Lin Bei frowned slightly. Right now, if he threw away all kinds of equipment and skills, his attributes were not enough.
—-|—-
Basic attributes (not counting bonuses)
Constitution: 100
Physical Strength: 120
Magic Strength: 1,300
Agility: 120
—-|—-
Other than Magic Strength, his other attributes barely exceeded 100. In fact, this was all thanks to the 200 attribute points from the players of the nine major guilds. Otherwise, with Lin Bei's own attributes, they would be much lower than now!
"I want the Divinity Fragment!"
Lin Bei said to Jian Yi directly, "I'll help you deal with your… Sunset Ores."
"Wise choice!"
Jian Yi grinned when he heard that and handed the wooden box containing the Divinity Fragment to Lin Bei. "By the way, if you're not in a hurry, you can increase your strength first before using the Divinity Fragment. That way, the improvement will be greater."
"Thanks for the reminder."
Lin Bei thanked the other party. Actually, he had a plan to gain attribute points from the beginning, but now, it seemed even more urgent!
"I have to gain more attribute points as soon as possible before synchronizing them!"
For others, it might be difficult to increase their attributes, but for Lin Bei, who had an SSS-rank profession and a Duel Vest, it was not difficult!
War Awakening (Professional Talent): Lv.2, for every 1,000 enemies defeated (≥ your level), you will obtain 2 basic free attribute points. For every 100,000 enemies killed (≥ your level), you will obtain 2 potential points. The leveling experience you need has increased by 10 times.
Duel Vest (True Love): Special equipment. After wearing it, you can propose a duel to your opponent. Duel: Force a 1v1 battle to the death. The party who dies will receive ten times the death penalty! Punishment of Love: Exclusive death penalty. After killing the target, the target's random attribute will lose 5 points.
With these two abilities, coupled with the double attribute buff of Elena's Blessing, as long as Lin Bei ensured that he could keep farming monsters in a duel state, he could farm attribute points infinitely!
"Perhaps this is the true essence of the Prince Charming of War profession!"
Previously, Lin Bei did not know that there was something like Divinity Powder. He only thought that the War Awakening talent was an icing on the cake, but now, he would not think that way!
This profession talent was the strongest talent among the three!
With it, Lin Bei could farm his attribute points infinitely and synchronize them with the real world, increasing his strength in the real world!
"I just don't know which is more effective, the Genetic Strengthening Potion or the Divinity Dust and the Divinity Fragment."
Lin Bei was interested.
One directly increased his physical constitution in reality, while the other synchronized his attributes to reality. The two were still different.
"No matter what, I already have a Divinity Fragment. I have to make good use of it!"
Lin Bei clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely excited.
Next, he had to farm attribute points!
Previously, he had wanted to reach Level 30 and use the Tainted Blood Magic Blade to increase his strength. However, in front of the huge temptation of attribute synchronization, it was not worth mentioning at all!
In the game, he was already strong enough, but in the real world, he was still very weak!
"In any case, there's only the last level left. If I farm monsters, I can still slowly rise!"
Lin Bei made a decision and immediately took action.
He first went to the ruins, pinched his nose, and put the Sunset Ores into his inventory. Then, he bade farewell to Jian Yi and left the Sunset Dynasty ruins.
Before he left, Jian Yi smiled brightly and kept saying, "I'll look for you next time I have a job." This made Lin Bei extremely depressed.
Could it be that in your eyes, I'm just a manure collector?
Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that there were benefits here, who would do such a dirty job!
"Goodbye! If you have time, bring me some good wine! I'll pay you!"
Jian Yi waved his hand and shouted at Lin Bei.
You have triggered the hidden mission "Swordsman Who Loves Alcohol Like His Life"! Provide him with 100 different flavors of wine. Mission Reward: Unknown.
"Good lord, another hidden mission."
Lin Bei listened to the System notification in his ear and clicked his tongue. "It's good to have high charm. This mission looks good. I'll do it when I'm free. Who knows, I might even be given another Divinity Fragment!"
Lin Bei rode his Ghost Warhorse and rushed towards the Misty Mountains.
There were still thousands of undead soldiers there. When the time came, he would collect them all and let them help him kill monsters to farm attribute points. It would be faster.
…
Just as Lin Bei was about to farm attribute points, tens of thousands of people gathered outside a huge golden ruin in the first server, Divine Opening.
Apollo stood in front of everyone and said in a low voice, "We've completely figured out the Boss' tricks. Next, everyone, cheer up and help me complete the trial!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ten thousand people shouted in unison, their voices deafening.
"Follow me into the ruins!"
Apollo shouted and led the team of 10,000 people into the ruins.
He had a feeling that he was going to succeed this time!
76 Dark Moon Valley! Level 30!
Soon, Lin Bei arrived at the Misty Mountain Range.
"Eh, Boss, why are you here?"
When Ektor saw Lin Bei in a hurry, his phantom aura condensed into a ghost face. He said in surprise, "Could it be that someone is here to cause trouble again and you need our help?"
As he spoke, Ektor rubbed his palms together excitedly.
It was all fresh and delicious life force. The more, the better!
"What are you thinking! I came to ask you to gather the remaining Spirit Army. I want to bring them into the Misty Mountains and sweep them!"
"This… is a good thing! However, Boss, in the depths of the Misty Mountain Range, there are all creatures above Level 40. Our Ghost Army is not enough."
"Then tell me, where is more suitable?"
"It's nighttime now. We can go to Dark Moon Valley!"
Ektor suggested, "Dark Moon Valley is at the edge of the Misty Mountains. Most of the creatures there are between Level 30 and 35. Moreover, when night falls, the monsters there will gather together. There are a lot of them. It will be enjoyable for us to kill them!"
"Alright, we'll do as you say! Gather everyone and we'll set off immediately!"
"Alright!"
Ektor smiled and left.
As for Lin Bei, he allocated all the attribute points he had obtained from leveling up to attributes other than Magic Strength. In the past, in order to pursue extreme damage output, he would definitely add Magic Strength, but now… He had to prepare for the synchronization of attributes. His other attributes also needed to be increased as soon as possible.
Moreover, he had the Duel Vest and War Awakening. He did not have to worry about lacking attributes in the future. As for now, the best choice was to increase all his attributes!
Especially the Agility attribute!
Because the Agility attribute was directly related to a person's thinking and reaction speed, it was a high priority for Lin Bei.
This was because faster reaction speed was the foundation for him to fight against a high-level Boss!
Of course, his other attributes had to catch up. Lin Bei was still worried about the first attribute synchronization. He was worried that the imbalance in attributes was too great and would bring a huge burden to him in reality.
For example, if he had 100 Physical Strength in reality, but his Constitution was only 10 points, wouldn't his bones be broken if he punched?
Therefore, to be safe, Lin Bei decided to add points comprehensively from now on!
He did not want to be unable to unleash his full strength because of the restrictions of one attribute.
Not long after, the Spirit Army was gathered. Lin Bei raised his hand and waved. Thousands of Specter Soldiers were put into the Spirit Army Flag. Now, other than the hundreds of Specter Soldiers stationed in the Holy Light Village, there were nearly 10,000 Level 40 elite Specter Soldiers in the flag!
In addition, there was also the Spirit General formed by the souls after he killed the King-tier Bosses not long ago.
Although the souls of these King-tier Bosses fell to the Sector-Lord tier, it was still a considerable increase in the strength of the entire Spirit Army!
"Let's go!"
Lin Bei rode the Ghost Warhorse and took the lead.
Behind him, Ektor summoned a lizard from somewhere and followed closely, sprinting.
Ektor was not a spirit soldier controlled by the Spirit Army Flag, so he could not be put into the flag. However, he had signed a spirit contract with Lin Bei and was now half his pet. It was just that he could not be put into the pet space.
The pet system could only be activated at level 40. For Lin Bei, it was still too early.
Soon, Lin Bei arrived at Dark Moon Valley.
"This place… is not bad!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he was a little tempted.
Dark Moon Valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides. The scenery was beautiful. Most importantly, this place was in a good geographical position and was very close to various leveling points. If it could be used as the territory of the Azure Plume Guild, it would be the most suitable place!
"Coincidentally, I still have a chance to use the Mutated Blood. I'll try my luck and see if I can get a Territory Crystal exclusive to Dark Moon Valley!"
Exclusive Territory Crystal was a Territory Crystal bound to a region. It was at least Level 2. The Frost Valley Territory Crystal from before, for example, was an exclusive crystal.
Frost Valley was originally Lin Bei's backup option, but after seeing Dark Moon Valley, he directly eliminated Frost Valley.
Frost Valley was covered in ice and snow all day long. As a territory, apart from being convenient to defend, its other aspects would restrict the development of the guild.
Frost Valley's environment was harsh. To Azure Plume, which wanted to develop its business, it was very uncomfortable.
This was because it was very difficult to reclaim and maintain the medicinal fields here. This way, the operating cost would increase greatly and the profits would be much lower.
Even with two SS-level daily life talents, they would be greatly affected.
However, if the territory could be set up in Dark Moon Valley, it would be different.
This place was also convenient to defend, but the land was fertile and very suitable for crops to grow. Moreover, there were all kinds of leveling areas nearby. If it developed well, the prospects would definitely be great!
"Ektor, you chose a good place! I'll reward you later!"
"Haha! Boss, you're too polite!"
Ektor was grinning from ear to ear (on his head that was transformed from a ghostly aura).
"Alright, do it!"
Lin Bei waved the Spirit Army Flag in his hand. Nearly ten thousand Spirit Army soldiers swarmed out and rushed into Dark Moon Valley!
"Kill!"
Lin Bei flew up and entered Dark Moon Valley. He instantly locked onto one of the Flower Demon Bosses! Without a word, he used the Mutated Blood and turned it into a King-tier Mutated Boss!
Bewitching Poisonous Flower Demon (Lv.40, Mutated, King-tier): Flower Beauty who is good at using poison and is very difficult to deal with. HP: 50 million, MP: 10 million.
"Not bad, you're the one!"
Lin Bei smiled faintly and flew to the head of the Bewitching Poisonous Flower Demon in the blink of an eye.
The Bewitching Poisonous Flower Demon was extremely happy with its sudden breakthrough in realm. Little did it know that a calamity was approaching!
Lin Bei directly bombarded it with spells. Discipline Spell after Discipline Spell fell crazily. At the same time, he did not forget to activate the duel mode, enveloping a large number of Dark Moon Valley creatures around him.
The current Lin Bei's Spell Wave broke through the limit. His skills could directly cover a radius of a hundred meters. He was very powerful. With a casual Discipline Spell, more than a hundred wild monsters died!
It had to be said that Dark Moon Valley was indeed not bad. The monsters were relatively densely distributed. If it were anywhere else, even if it was an Instance Dungeon filled with monsters, it would be good enough to attract dozens of monsters at once.
Compared to Lin Bei killing hundreds of wild monsters with a raise of his hand, it was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Moreover, just as the monsters were killed, in less than five seconds, more monsters would crawl out of the ground. Besides, there was an endless stream of them, as if he would never be able to kill them all!
"This Ektor is quite something."
Lin Bei praised in his heart. This place was simply a holy land for farming monsters!
Although the level of the monsters was a little low, it was only a little less experience. The attributes obtained from killing them were not little at all!
Almost every minute, more than 10 attribute points would enter Lin Bei's account. Among them, the Free Attribute and the Punishment of Love each took up half.
At this rate, as long as Dark Moon Valley kept producing monsters, he could farm until the end of time!
Lin Bei was extremely efficient. In half an hour, he swept through the entire Dark Moon Valley!
At this moment, the respawn speed of the monsters could no longer keep up with his farming speed.
At the side, the head formed by Ektor's ghost aura looked like it was shocked. It looked at Lin Bei, who was killing everyone, and swallowed.
"Oh my god, isn't this too fierce? I'm really lucky! I actually survived Boss's attack! Fortunately, I survived the calamity. As the saying goes, good fortune comes after death. In the future, I'll follow Boss and enjoy the benefits!"
In just half an hour, Ektor had already absorbed a lot of life force. Now, his level had also increased to Level 46.
On the other side, Lin Bei frowned and stopped what he was doing.
In half an hour, he had farmed a total of 400 attribute points, but he seemed to have reached his limit. Now that Dark Moon Valley's spawning speed had slowed down, there was no point in farming anymore.
It was not as much as farming dungeons.
His attributes had already increased by a lot compared to before.
—-|—-
Basic Attributes (No bonuses)
Constitution: 200
Physical Strength: 200
Magic Strength: 1,400
Agility: 240
—-|—-
Swoosh!
At this moment, a golden light flashed on Lin Bei's body, and his level increased to Level 30!
"I'm finally Level 30!"
Lin Bei came back to his senses and looked at the diamond equipment and the Tainted Blood Demon Saber that he had prepared in his backpack. He smiled brightly.
He had long wanted to equip himself with these items. Now, he could finally get his wish!
"Alright, continue killing here. I'll leave for now."
Lin Bei instructed and changed into a new set of equipment before leaving Dark Moon Valley. There was no point for him to stay here anymore. The Spirit Army was enough here.
As for him, what he needed to do next was to make a trip to the Bloodshed Tavern and hand over the few A-rank bounty missions. He would use the tavern points to exchange for some useful things!
At the same time, he planned to go to the Goblin Shop again. There should be many good things there.
He just did not know if there was any Divinity Powder or treasures to increase his attributes. If there was, his gains this time could be even greater!
Lin Bei used a Return Scroll and arrived at Green Mountain City.
At the entrance of the Bloodshed Tavern, a one-eyed man had already gathered dozens of people, preparing to go out and do missions.
At this moment, a figure hurriedly passed by.
"This is… Prince Charming? Why is he back? Could it be that he encountered difficulties in carrying out a mission? That's right. After all, that's an A-rank bounty mission. How can it be so easy to complete?"
The one-eyed man looked at Lin Bei, who had hurriedly entered the tavern, and muttered.
"Boss, is this the three-star big shot who was promoted by Lord Monka? He looks ordinary."
"That's right. I think he just reached Level 30. He's probably back to cancel the mission because he can't complete it."
"That's right, but there's a penalty for canceling missions. He accepted so many missions at once. If he cancels all of them, he'll probably drop to a two-star member, right?"
"Two-star? I think one-star is possible! That's more than ten A-rank missions and more than thirty B-rank missions!"
"Boss, why don't we follow him in and take a look?"
"That's right. Since everyone is here, these few minutes don't matter."
The one-eyed man frowned and was in a difficult position. "This… isn't good, right?"
"What's wrong with that? Let's just take a look. We're not talking!"
"Yes, we'll just watch and not speak."
"Then… Alright, when the time comes, watch your mouths. Even if he fails the missions, he's still a newcomer chosen by Lord Monka. If we offend him, we can forget about staying in the tavern in the future!"
In the end, the one-eyed man agreed to everyone's request and entered the tavern.
There was no other reason. In fact, he was also very curious about the progress of that "Prince Charming". He wanted to know what had happened to make the man so anxious.
"Sigh, he must feel terrible for screwing up so many missions at once, right?"
The one-eyed man sighed in his heart and pitied Lin Bei.
77 Mission Reward! Points Mall!
In the Bloodshed Tavern's bounty missions, bounty missions below B-rank usually rewarded no more than 1,000 tavern points.
B-rank bounty missions usually rewarded 1,000 to 3,000 points. As for A-rank bounty missions, the points reward was generally above 3,000 points. For some A-rank missions with high difficulty, it could even exceed 10,000 points!
If a mission failed, the person who accepted the mission would usually lose about 20% of the points to be rewarded by the mission.
Lin Bei had previously accepted dozens of missions above Level B. This was unbelievable to the one-eyed man.
Once he failed, the points deducted would be quite terrifying!
Therefore, the one-eyed man looked at the back of the person standing in front of the counter and kept shaking his head and sighing.
Sigh, he was still young.
If he was more stable and took every step carefully, with Lord Monka's good lead, he would not have ended up like this!
Now that the missions had failed, tens of thousands of points would probably be deducted, right?
Sigh, how long would it take to make up for it?
The one-eyed man had worked here for a few years and had only accumulated 3,000 points.
This was something he had saved up by scrimping and saving. One had to know that as a member of the Bloodshed Tavern, the expenditure of points was huge. Equipment, alchemy potions, and various supplies had to be exchanged with points. They had to constantly consume points to exchange for high-level equipment and items, thus completing higher-level bounty missions. This cycle allowed them to continuously become stronger.
It was already very difficult to save some points.
One had to know that low-level missions were usually rewarded with dozens of points. There were almost none with more than a hundred points. The difficulty of accumulating points could be imagined!
"How many points do you think he will lose this time?"
"In my opinion, at least 10,000 points, right?"
"More than that. I think it's at least 30,000!"
"Sigh, this is too ruthless. You have to know that the points required to become a 2-star member are only 10,000. His deduction is equivalent to removing two to three 2-star membership slots!"
"That's right!"
"Lower your voice. Just watch and do not say anything. Have you forgotten?"
The group of people huddled in a corner and stuck their heads out, not daring to make a sound.
However, without exception, they looked at the bar and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
For a moment, the entire Bloodshed Tavern was incomparably quiet.
"Eh, it's so quiet?"
Lin Bei had just arrived at the counter when he felt the quiet atmosphere around him. He could not help but be stunned.
Previously, when he came to the Bloodshed Tavern, it was extremely lively.
What's wrong now? Why do I feel like these people are obedient? Are they looking at me strangely?
Forget it, who cares? I'm just handing in the missions and leaving immediately. Just watch if you want.
"Tria, I'm here to turn in my missions."
"Please wait a moment! Prince Charming, which mission are you submitting?"
"Oh, all the A-level missions."
As Lin Bei spoke, he took out the 11 A-rank bounty notices and placed them on the bar. At the same time, he placed each mission item on the list. When there was only the Sunset Ore left, Lin Bei's outstretched hand paused for a moment and he said, "Well, I obtained a little too many Sunset Ores this time. The counter might not be able to fit it."
"Just put them on the ground."
Tria's eyes widened as she watched Lin Bei calmly take out mission items one after another.
"The one eye of Frost Mage Baglas. Hmm… the quality is even higher than the mission requirement!"
"The head of the Headless Horseman, actually so fresh? Heavens, could it be new? However, can the Headless Horseman grow a head?"
"There's also the Falconer's wings. They're at least Level 50. The quality is excellent!"
"And…"
Tria's eyes were filled with stars as she looked at Lin Bei with admiration.
As expected of a Prince Charming!
It was just amazing!
No wonder Lord Monka had made an exception to promote him to a three-star member!
"Um… Brothers in the tavern, please make way. I want to take out the mission items. I'm afraid they can't fit it in."
Lin Bei glanced at the members of the tavern who were staring at each other and said awkwardly.
Seeing this, everyone immediately stepped aside.
What a joke. This was a true big shot!
Initially, everyone thought that this kid had returned so quickly because his missions had failed and he had come to cancel the missions.
Who would have thought that he had clearly completed all the A-rank missions and returned to submit them!
Not only that, but the quality of those mission items seemed to be much better than the requirements!
Damn it, was he still human?
From the time he accepted the missions to the time he returned to the tavern to submit them, had it been three hours?
I don't think so!
Oh my god, he completed eleven A-rank bounty missions in less than three hours?
If he wasn't a big shot, what was he?
To think that they were mourning for him in their hearts previously. From the looks of it now, what was there to mourn for! They were the clowns!
"Alright, it's about time! We should be able to put down those Sunset Ores."
When Lin Bei saw the area that everyone had vacated, he secretly took out a mask and put it on his face. With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred wooden boxes filled the entire Bloodshed Tavern!
"Ahem, these are all Sunset Ores. There are a total of 100 boxes. Each box contains 500 ores, a total of 50,000. You… you can count them."
With that, Lin Bei retreated far away.
After Jian Yi told him the true identity of the Sunset Ores, he could not hold it in anymore and subconsciously wanted to stay away from these things.
"Let me take a look! Ah! It's really Sunset Ores! And these ores are actually more than a thousand years old! Wow ~"
Tria stepped forward, lifted the lid of a wooden box, took out a set of instruments, and began to examine them, her face filled with excitement.
This made Lin Bei hesitate.
Forget it. I'm the only one who knows the truth. If word gets out, everyone will probably explode.
"Prince Charming! The quality of these Sunset Ores is very good! Moreover, the quantity far exceeds the bounty requirement!"
After a while, Tria came to Lin Bei excitedly and said with a smile, "To be honest, this bounty mission was actually initiated by the Bloodshed Tavern. It was to refine a batch of potions and throw them into the market so that everyone would have a chance to increase their strength. Originally, I only planned to collect 100 Sunset Ores. I didn't expect you to bring back 50,000 pieces of high-quality Sunset Ores!"
"I want to apply to the headquarters to increase your reward level."
"Sure. How long will it take?"
"It won't take long. Just a few minutes."
"Alright, sorry to trouble you."
"It's not troublesome! With so many Sunset Ores, the strength of our Bloodshed Tavern members will increase by a level!"
Tria smiled.
"By the way, do you have to drink those potions to consolidate the foundation and nurture the essence?"
Lin Bei could not help but ask curiously.
"Not really. It's applied externally. The upper echelons of the tavern have strict usage requirements. These potions are not allowed to be consumed internally, or you might be poisoned."
"Oh, I see. Thank goodness."
Lin Bei nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
If he really let someone drink it, he would still feel a little pressured.
After all, he was the one who brought back these so-called Sunset Ores.
"Alright! There's a response from above!"
Not long after, Tria smiled and said, "Among the 11 A-rank bounty missions, 10 of them have reached perfection. You can obtain 1.5 times the original points as a reward! In addition, the mission to collect the Sunset Ore has been evaluated by the tavern. The difficulty has been increased to S-rank .You will receive additional points as a reward! At the same time, the higher-ups have given you a chance to enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm! You can look for me at any time. I will inform the staff of the tavern!"
"The Tavern's Mystic Realm?"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up.
He knew this place.
One could teleport there from the inside of the Peak Tavern. However, this area was originally a map that would only open after the nine servers merged. Now, there was actually a chance to enter?
Lin Bei was a little excited.
If it was before, he would not be excited about such an opportunity to enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm. However, it was different now. After knowing the existence of the Divinity Powder, he now attached great importance to the opportunity to enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm!
If he remembered correctly, there were more than a hundred ruins in the Tavern's Mystic Realm!
If he could challenge all of them, his gains would definitely be huge!
"However, with my current reaction speed, I should be quite lacking! No, looks like I can't delay any longer. I have to use the Divinity Fragment to synchronize my attributes as soon as possible and break through my limit. Then, I'll enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm and obtain more Divinity Dust and Divinity Fragments!"
Initially, he thought that he could farm attribute points for two days first. Now, it seemed that it was better to synchronize his attributes as soon as possible.
"Prince Charming, for the ten A-rank missions and one S-rank mission, according to the statistics, you can obtain a total of 225,000 points! You're still 9,775,000 points away from advancing to a four-star member! At the same time, you still have to complete more than ten perfect S-rank missions to advance to a four-star member!"
"Alright, I understand."
Lin Bei nodded. He did not expect to obtain more than 200,000 points. Not bad.
As for advancing to a 4-star member, he was still far from it, so he did not have to think too much about it.
For the current him, a three-star membership was enough!
"Entering the Bloodshed Tavern Points Mall!"
After putting away the points reward, Lin Bei left the Bloodshed Tavern under many envious and worshipful gazes and entered the Points Mall.
He was prepared to use the Divinity Fragment to synchronize his attributes, but before that, he still needed to buy some items to increase his attributes.
"Search, increase attributes."
Lin Bei entered the command, and the Points Mall interface instantly changed. Dozens of items that met the requirements appeared.
"Remove all Buff-type potions that increase attributes!"
Lin Bei did screening again.
Buff-type enhancements could not be synchronized into reality. Divinity Fragments could only transform basic attributes, so only items or potions that permanently increased attributes were useful.
This time, only eight search results were left.
"As expected of permanent upgrade items. They're really not cheap!"
Lin Bei looked at the remaining eight items and sighed.
The cheapest Strength Enhancing Fruit was worth 1,000 points, but its effect was only a permanent increase of 10 Physical Strength points.
"Fortunately, I obtained more than 200,000 points this time. This price is still acceptable!"
Lin Bei thought about it and his gaze landed on the eight items on the mall interface. After pondering for a moment, he quickly made the distribution.
Soon, all his points were spent, turning into a pile of items to increase his attributes.
"Not bad. After using these things, my attributes can increase by a lot! Unfortunately, the more these things are used, the more resistant my body will be. The attribute enhancement effect will also be weakened."
Lin Bei was helpless, but on second thought, it made sense. If he could infinitely increase his attributes, the price of these things would increase by at least ten times!
After all, some experts did not lack tavern points at all!
"I'll use it first and see the effect!"
Lin Bei smiled and picked up a Strength Enhancing Fruit to swallow.
Successfully consumed the Strength Enhancing Fruit! Physical Strength permanently increased by 10 points!
"Not bad, another one!"
Successfully consumed the Strength Enhancing Fruit! Physical Strength permanently increased by 9 points!
"Again!"
Lin Bei stuffed ten Strength Enhancing Fruits into his mouth in a row. At this moment, the effect of the Physical Strength attribute increase was only 1 point.
If he continued to consume it, there would be no effect.
However, even so, after eating ten Strength Enhancing Fruits, his Physical Strength attribute had increased by 55 points!
And the price was only 10,000 tavern points.
"The benefits are not bad. Continue!"
Lin Bei grinned and continued eating.
78 Improving Attributes! Master Jin, Look Out For Me!
Successfully consumed the Magic Strengthening Fruit. Magic Strength attribute permanently increased by 10 points!
Successfully consumed the Agility Strengthening Fruit. Agility attribute permanently increased by 10 points!
Successfully consumed Body Strengthening Fruit. Constitution attribute permanently increased by 10 points!
…
!
Just like the Strength Enhancing Fruit, Lin Bei also consumed 10 of these fruits. Every attribute increased by 55 points.
Of course, although the number of attribute increases was the same, the prices of these four fruits were different. Among them, the Strength Enhancing Fruit was the cheapest, 1,000 points per fruit, and the Magic Strengthening Fruit was slightly more expensive, 1,500 points per fruit.
As for the other two fruits, their prices were extremely high, at 2,500 points per fruit!
From this, it could be seen that among the four basic attributes, Constitution and Agility seemed to be extremely important.
Although Lin Bei did not know much about the use of Constitution, he could guess from Shopkeeper Jin's high price of buying Vigor. This attribute should be related to lifespan.
Simply put, the higher the Constitution, the longer one's lifespan.
Of course, increasing the attribute would also improve other abilities, such as endurance, bones, and physical sturdiness.
In short, one could only survive if their Constitution was high enough.
There was no need to talk about agility. It could increase the human body's extreme reaction speed. Similarly, the casting speed of skills was closely related to Agility. As the saying went, "In the world of martial arts, only speed is invincible." If agility was high enough, it would be much easier to attack and defend.
As for the Physical Strength and Magic Strength attributes, they were relatively simple. The higher the attributes, the stronger the attack.
However, one was a physical attack, and the other was a magical attack.
"My Magic Strength attributes are so high now. What will happen after synchronization?"
Lin Bei was looking forward to it.
In reality, he did not know any magic skills, but if he could control things from afar, it would be very satisfying.
For example, holding a pencil in his hand and making it faster than a bullet. As long as his aim was not wrong, he could still kill someone in one hit.
"There are still four potions left. Take them all."
Lin Bei did not hesitate and drank the other potions he had bought.
Successfully consumed Magic Potion! Magic Strength attribute permanently increased by 20 points!
Successfully consumed Strength Potion! Physical Strength attribute permanently increased by 20 points!
Successfully consumed Agility Potion! Agility attribute permanently increased by 20 points!
Successfully consumed Constitution Potion! Constitution attribute permanently increased by 20 points!
Similarly, the effects of the potions would also decrease. By the time he drank ten bottles of potions in a row, his attributes would only rise by a pitiful 2 points.
After taking all the potions, Lin Bei's basic attributes increased by 110 points again!
At this point, he had spent all his points in exchange for a 165 point increase in all his basic attributes!
According to the 5% conversion ratio of the Divinity Fragment, after this conversion, every attribute could increase by more than 8 points, almost double the attributes of a normal person!
A person's average attributes were 10 points. This could be seen when a character was created in the game. However, after players chose a basic profession, their attributes would be enhanced. For example, if you chose Warrior, you would have more Physical Strength, and if you chose Assassin, you would have more Agility.
"To be able to increase my attributes twice as many as others, these 200,000 points are worth it!"
Lin Bei nodded and closed the Tavern Mall. He opened his backpack and looked at a green patterned token in the corner.
Trade Token (Goblin Shop): After using it, you can enter the Goblin Shop and buy the goods you like from Bobo. Remaining usage: 10 times.
"Next, it's time to go to the Goblin Shop and see if I can buy items that can permanently increase my attributes."
Lin Bei pondered and said, "However, before that, I have to go to Master Jin and ask him to appraise the idle equipment and items in my backpack. Otherwise, it will not be worth it to be scammed by Bobo."
"Coincidentally, I got a Body Enhancing Spell when I was dealing with the Mutated Poisonous Flower Demon. The effect is not much different from the Body Strengthening Spell. It's just right to give it to Master Jin."
After making his decision, Lin Bei quickly arrived at the Holy Light Village through the teleportation array in Green Mountain City.
At this moment, the Holy Light Village was filled with panic. Hundreds of Spirit Soldiers were stationed here, and no player dared to act rashly.
Especially the players from the nine major guilds who had caused trouble previously. Once they came online, they would immediately be surrounded and killed!
It was also because of this that many people abandoned their accounts and started all over. Some people left the guild and sought refuge.
In short, the 10,000 or so guild players who had come to provoke him had long been defeated. They ran and scattered.
This was a huge blow to the nine guilds!
Originally, they were determined and had come aggressively. In the end, they had suffered a double loss. Many players had already begun to leave the guilds and join Azure Plume.
This made many of the Guild's upper echelons furious.
In the Duel Space, the upper echelons of the ten major guilds gathered.
"What's going on with Divine Descent? Are you really going to sit back and watch Azure Plume monopolize the entire Heavenly Might Server?"
Green Mountain Sword, the Vice Guild Master of the Green Cloud Guild, which was the third guild of the ten major guilds, looked at the golden-haired man who had been silent and berated.
"Green Mountain Sword, it's not up to the Green Cloud Guild to tell us what to do!"
The blond man smiled faintly and said, "Moreover, you nine guilds joined forces and couldn't even deal with a new guild. Now, you're questioning me instead. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"You!"
"What about me? We, Divine Descent, have already said that we won't participate in your matters. As for the Heavenly Might Server, so what if Azure Plume dominates?"
The blond man curled his lips and said, "Our Divine Descent isn't weak in the other eight servers! If you nine guilds have the time to fight with me here, why don't you think of a way to operate your guilds in the other servers? Otherwise, when the other guilds scheme against you in secret, you'll lose the entire game."
"What do you mean?"
"Heh, I've said enough. Think about the details yourself. Alright, our Divine Descent still has other things to do. Bye!"
With that, the blond man stood up and left the Duel Space.
"Damn! This damn Charles is really arrogant! What's there to be arrogant about? Isn't it just because they have the backing of the Divine Descent Club? Without those people to support them, they're nothing!"
Green Mountain Sword was furious.
On the side, a beautiful guild leader chuckled and said, "Little Sword, calm down. In my opinion, what Charles said makes sense. We suffered heavy losses in the Heavenly Might Server this time and should rest for a while. As for the other servers, we have to be careful of other guilds playing dirty."
"Hmph, I just can't take this! Since your Purple Rain Guild doesn't plan to work together, I won't force you! But you have to think carefully about one thing! When other guilds take down Azure Plume, you won't get any of the benefits!"
"Heh, you must be joking. Your make it sound like you can take down Azure Plume."
The beautiful president smiled. "Alright, I'm leaving too. I think we should work together on Azure Plume. As for suppressing them, if you can do it, feel free to try."
"Damn! Another one left! Where are the rest of you? What do you plan to do!"
Green Mountain Sword looked around and said in a deep voice.
"We, The Dominators, withdraw."
"We Pinnacle has also withdrawn."
"We the World Guild will also withdraw."
In an instant, the top five guilds, except for the Green Cloud Guild, where Green Mountain Sword was from, all withdrew!
With a flash of light, the heads of the three guilds left the Duel Space.
There were only five people left.
"Since they've withdrawn, only the five guilds can advance and retreat together!"
Green Mountain Sword glanced at the remaining people and said in a deep voice, "I have a plan. I'll tell everyone now. My people have triggered a large-scale hidden dungeon. Our goal is to trick that man into entering it. As for the remaining people, we don't have to fear them if we join forces!"
"What about his undead army? How do we deal with them?"
"That's easy. I recently accepted a mission and activated the Fondness System with an NPC from the Holy Light Faction. When the time comes, as long as I pay a sufficient price, I can ask him to help once! It's more than enough to deal with those spirit soldiers!"
Green Mountain Sword was determined to win, and he said in a deep voice, "That lord has the strength of an Emperor! With his help, we will definitely succeed! At that time, all of Azure Plume's resources will be ours!"
"Haha! That's great! Let's discuss how to operate it! When the time comes, let the other five guilds regret it!"
"That's right. When the time comes, we'll split the resources of the Heavenly Might Server together. At that time, we'll definitely earn a lot!"
The group of people became excited.
They had long been jealous of Azure Plume's resources.
If they could snatch it, their future development in the Heavenly Might Server would definitely be twice the result with half the effort!
…
Holy Light Village, in the grocery store.
Jin Dadao had a bitter expression on his face. He looked at Lin Bei, who had appeared in front of him again, and said weakly, "Tell me, why are you here again? I'll say it in advance. Those blessing abilities are not cabbages. Even I consume a lot of energy to use them once."
"Master Jin, you've misunderstood. I'm here to give you benefits!"
Lin Bei smiled and took out a Body Enhancing Spell book. He placed it on the counter and said, "I'll give this Body Enhancing Spell to Master Jin for free! Take it as repayment for your help to me during this period of time!"
"Oh? Is that true?"
"Absolutely!"
"Haha, at least you have a conscience! Alright, I'll accept this Body Enhancing Spell. What do you want? Tell me."
"I plan to trade with Bobo, but I have some things on me that are not easy to value, so I hope Master Jin can take a look."
"That's it? It's a small matter. Leave it to me! Take it out. I'll estimate the price for you. I guarantee that you won't suffer a loss!"
Jin Dadao waved his hand casually.
"Thank you, Master Jin!"
Lin Bei smiled and waved his hand.
With a crash, the entire counter of the grocery store was filled with equipment.
"This is part of it. You can estimate the price first. When it's done, I'll take out the rest."
"Ah? This…"
Jin Dadao looked at the small mountain of equipment in front of him and was a little stunned.
Damn, so many Obsidian-grade equipment?
And these Diamond-rank ones were also top-notch! 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝘯𝑒𝑡
The corners of Jin Dadao's mouth twitched slightly. Wasn't this luck ridiculously good?
It was a little strange.
"Master Jin, can you appraise them?"
Lin Bei asked worriedly.
"Sure, it's just some ordinary Obsidian-grade equipment. It's nothing."
Jin Dadao looked calm on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart. Damn it, this kid is not inferior to Bobo at all. They're both rich, but he actually has so many good things! Damn, why don't I have this luck?
Damn, fate is unfair!
79 Bobo Tricked! (1)
"Kid, are you really going to sell these to that profiteer?"
Jin Dadao frowned slightly and asked, "You have to know that these things can be sold for a good price if you do things well."
"But I need money urgently. I can't wait too long. I can only sell it first."
Lin Bei shrugged, his tone helpless.
He was telling the truth. Now, he wanted to increase his attributes as soon as possible to maximize the effect of the Divinity Fragment. As for these Obsidian-grade equipment, although they were precious, they were actually nothing to Lin Bei.
He was only Level 30 now, and these equipment were all above Level 40. He could not use them even if he kept them. It was better to sell them now for money to increase his attributes.
Moreover, to him, as long as he killed a King-tier Boss, he would obtain Obsidian-tier equipment.
When his attributes increased and he used the Divinity Fragment to synchronize his attributes with the real world, his various abilities would also increase greatly. When he entered the game, it would be easy for him to deal with a King-tier Boss.
Therefore, although these Obsidian-grade equipment were precious to him, they were not important.
He was alone. Even if he wore a full set of Obsidian-grade equipment, he would only have a dozen or so pieces of equipment. He would have to sell the extra pieces sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.
Although the Goblin Shop was a little tricky, the key was that he had good stuff!
If he could buy something useful to him, it was acceptable to lose some money.
"What do you need all the Bobo coins for?"
Jin Dadao was puzzled and could not help but ask.
In his opinion, Lin Bei was only Level 30 and did not need to spend much at all. Previously, he had bought Full of Vigor and gave him 10,000 Bobo coins. No matter what, it should be enough.
Moreover, looking at this kid, his equipment was piled up like a mountain. Clearly, he was not lacking equipment. Then why did he need so many Bobo Coins?
Could it be…
"Kid, did you obtain the Divinity Powder?"
Jin Dadao looked at Lin Bei strangely and asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I was lucky."
"Damn, don't mention luck, luck is also a part of strength! Kid, I didn't expect you to be so fierce! It seems that asking you to collect the Blood Demon's Blood was indeed the right choice!"
Gold Avenue sighed. "With the Divinity Powder, it's understandable that you need a lot of Bobo Coins! Good steel has to be used on the blade. No matter how good these equipment are, it's useless if you can't wear them. However, I have to remind you that before you deal with these equipment, you'd better look for your teacher, Alina."
"She should have a lot of things to increase your attributes."
Jin Dadao reminded, "Moreover, the Holy Light faction needs to fight against the demons and the Abyssal Race. In terms of equipment, they're still quite lacking. If you look for Elena, you should be able to sell them for a good price. In addition, she's your mentor, so she shouldn't be stingy. Moreover, you've obtained Divinity Powder now, so you'll definitely be valued by her. This way, you'll obtain a lot of benefits. It's much better than selling them to that profiteer."
"There's such a thing? Thank you for reminding me, Master Jin!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked him.
"These are all small matters. I was still counting on you to get me more Blood Demon's Blood!"
Jin Dadao waved his hand and smiled. "By the way, there are a few things you can sell to Bobo! For example, this Gem Armor, ask for 2,000 Bobo coins! And this Essence of Machinery, the price is 5,000 Bobo coins! And…"
Jin Dadao picked a few items and introduced them to Lin Bei. They were all things Bobo himself needed very much. As long as he took advantage of Bobo, he could definitely sell them for a good price.
"That old thing is very cunning. However, he definitely can't reject these things!"
Jin Dadao smiled brightly. "As for the rest, you can give them to Alina and exchange it for some items to increase your attributes. By the way, if that old thing Bobo doesn't know what's good for him, you can mention your teacher. He's very afraid of her!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Master Jin!"
"You're welcome. I'm just giving you some pointers on account of the Body Enhancing Spell you gave me. Moreover, I feel comfortable being able to make Bobo suffer."
Jin Dadao smiled, then looked at Lin Bei and said, "By the way, you're now Level 30. You should be able to continue learning the advanced skills of the War God profession. I suggest you learn them. For the current you, the improvement is not small."
"Alright, I'll go look for the teacher later and ask about the situation."
Lin Bei nodded and exchanged a few more pleasantries with Jin Dadao before leaving the grocery store.
Then, he found Green Collar and asked about the guild's recent situation. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝑒𝘵
Not bad. Everyone was not affected by the nine major guilds. Instead, they worked harder to level up. Now, the elite players in Azure Plume had gradually risen to Level 15. As for Cao Fei Apollo, he had already risen to Level 20 to complete the profession advancement mission.
"That's right. When everyone reaches Level 20, we'll establish a territory! I've already found a place, and it's a Level 2 territory!"
"Level 2 territory?!"
Green Collar was stunned when she heard that. Then, she said excitedly, "Really?"
"Yes, I killed a King-tier Boss previously and it dropped a Level 2 Territory Crystal. It just so happens to be bound to the area I like."
Lin Bei smiled and nodded. It had to be said that the Bewitching Poisonous Flower Demon was quite powerful. Not only did it give him the Body Enhancing Spell, but it also gave him a Level 2 Territory Crystal that was bound to Dark Moon Valley. It matched Lin Bei's expectations.
80 Bobo Tricked! (2)
After giving Green Collar a few instructions and leaving her a batch of Level 20 equipment, Lin Bei returned to Green Mountain City and took out the Trading Token covered in green patterns.
Do you want to use the trade token to enter Bobo's Goblin Merchant Store?
"Yes, sir!"
Swoosh!
A beam of light instantly shot out from the trading token and condensed into an entrance in front of Lin Bei.
Lin Bei stepped in and disappeared.
"Haha, look who's here. It's only been a while since we last met, and you're here to do business with me again?"
As soon as Lin Bei arrived, Bobo jumped onto the counter and looked at him excitedly.
This was a fat sheep. Previously, Lin Bei had sold him a Body Strengthening Spell at a low price and he earned a huge sum of money by reselling it. Now, the man was here again. How could he not be happy?
"Senior Bobo, I'm indeed here to sell something."
...
Lin Bei smiled brightly. Then, under Bobo's shocked expression, he took out items one after another.
There were a total of five items. These were all things that Jin Dadao had reminded him to sell to Bobo. The value of each item exceeded 2,000 Bobo coins!
"This… Kid, where did you get so many good things?"
Bobo swallowed, his eyes greedy.
These things were all good things that he had dreamed of!
The gemstones on the Obsidian-grade Gem Armor contained huge energy. If it was dismantled, his mechanical puppet's combat strength would definitely increase by a level!
Also, the knowledge recorded in the Essence of Machinery could allow him to take another step forward!
There was also that bottle of Extraordinary Adhesive. It was definitely good stuff!
I was right!
This kid is simply my fat sheep. Ahem, my lucky star!
"Alright, these things are much better than the things you sold previously! How about this? Gem Armor, 200 Bobo coins, Essence of Machinery, 500 Bobo coins, Extraordinary Adhesive, 300 Bobo coins, and…"
...
Bobo priced the five items Lin Bei took out one by one. However, the number he shouted was at least ten times smaller than the value given by Jin Dadao!
"…"
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth twitched.
This was too devious.
However, he recalled that Jin Dadao had mentioned before that Extraordinary lifeforms could sense thoughts targeting him, so he hurriedly restrained his thoughts and did not dare to think too much.
"Kid, you've profited greatly from this deal! Only I like these things. If you peddle them to others, they're simply worthless!"
Bobo was anxious and hurriedly urged, "These things add up to a total of 1,500 Bobo coins. Hurry up and trade."
"There's no hurry."
Lin Bei quietly put away the things and looked at Bobo with a smile. "I think these things are worth more than that, so I thought about it and decided not to sell them."
"What?"
Bobo's expression changed when he heard this. Then, he immediately came back to his senses and put on a smile. "You have to think carefully. It's useless for you to keep these things, but if you sell them for money, you can buy some things you need from me."
...
"Senior Bobo is right, but after thinking about it, my teacher, Alina, asked me to collect some items. I don't know if she wants these things, so I'm thinking about letting her take a look first before making a plan."
"Alina? Damn, this kid is that fierce woman's disciple?"
Bobo could not remain calm this time.
He had his Dimensional Pocket. He was not afraid of ordinary extraordinary existences, but there were exceptions. Alina was clearly one of them!
Back then, he had scammed Alina, and he had been hunted down by the other party for an entire year. In this year, the moment he appeared, he would be marked by Alina. This caused him to barely make a business deal for an entire year and almost lost his life.
In the end, he was the one who took the initiative to compensate and handed over a large amount of resources before this matter was settled.
Now, the fat sheep in front of him… had actually become her disciple?
No!
This is not true!
"Ahem, um… who did you say your teacher is?"
"Alina! Don't you know her? She's Alina, the Guardian of the Light Temple, and the Goddess of War!"
...
Lin Bei was surprised. As he spoke, he instantly activated the profession talents of the Body of Judgment and the Body of Holy Light.
For a moment, two powerful auras intertwined and wrapped around Lin Bei.
Bobo: (?д?;)!
Damn, it is actually true!
Who the hell am I supposed to reason with?
He had been chased by Elena for a year, so he naturally knew what that woman was capable of. The aura of this kid in front of him was exactly the same as Elena's!
Damn it!
Bobo felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
Ah, it was not easy to find a fat sheep. Was it going to leave him now?
No, fat sheep my ass!
I scammed him and got a Body Strengthening Spell previously. Will Alina find out in the future?
...
Damn, that girl knows that I'm rich. Once she finds out about this, she definitely won't let me off. She will definitely take the opportunity to extort me!
Damn it, I'm really unlucky!
No, I have to calm this kid down. I can't let him tell anyone about this!
Thinking of this, Bobo hurriedly smiled and went up to him. "Haha, so you're the disciple of the Light Guardian. Not bad, you're indeed a young hero! Speaking of which, I have a good relationship with your mentor."
"You know my teacher?"
Lin Bei looked puzzled.
"Haha, I know her! I know her! We're best friends! How about this, I'll take all your things! Moreover, in terms of price, I'll increase it by ten times, 15,000 Bobo coins!"
"In addition, I forgot to tell you good news. I actually sold the Body Strengthening Spell I received from you for 1,000 Bobo coins. You were not properly paid. How about this? I'll give you another 800 Bobo coins!"
"Don't think it's too little. It's not easy for me to open a shop. It's not too much for me to earn 100 Bobo coins as the intermediary, right?"
With a smile on his face, Bobo took out more than ten Bobo coins and handed them to Lin Bei.
"It's not too much! Senior Bobo is very sincere! Doing business with you is really satisfying!"
...
Lin Bei smiled brightly, but he knew better.
If he hadn't mentioned Elena, it wouldn't have been so easy to facilitate this deal.
However, Lin Bei didn't expect Bobo to be so afraid of Alina. He was actually afraid that Lin Bei would tattle on him and he gave up a portion of the profits from selling the Body Strengthening Spell.
Interesting.
Lin Bei smiled and put away the Bobo Coins. There were a total of 15,800. Coupled with the 10,000 from Jin Dadao, he now had more than 20,000 Bobo Coins!
He should be able to buy a lot of good things, right?
"Senior Bobo, I want to buy something to increase my attributes. Do you have any suggestions?"
Lin Bei smiled and looked at Bobo, who was secretly relieved.
"Something to increase your attributes? Yes! I'll get it for you now! Wait for me!"
When Bobo heard this, he immediately disappeared.
At the same time, he had doubts. Why did this kid want items to increase his attributes?
Could it be?!
Damn! No way?
If this was true, Alina would definitely value this kid very much!
As such, it was unrealistic to take advantage of him!
Bobo was sad. He had originally thought that he had found a fat sheep for himself. Who would have thought that he would attract a big threat!
This was really… a bad year!
Bobo: o(*≧д≦)o!
81 Attribute Enhancement! Requirement to Break the Limit Second Time!
"Haha, sorry to keep you waiting!"
After a few minutes, Bobo appeared again. He was carrying a gray cloth bag.
"The transaction amount exceeded 10,000 Bobo coins. According to the rules, you have already advanced to a Silver Member. These are things that you can buy with your current permission. They are all to increase your attributes. Take a look. You can ask me if you don't understand."
"10,000 Bobo coins, and I'm only a Silver Member?"
Lin Bei was stunned.
"That's right. I'm not lying to you."
Bobo hurriedly explained, "In my shop, if the transaction value exceeds 1,000 Bobo coins, you can be promoted to a Bronze Member. 10,000 Bobo coins can be promoted to a Silver Member, and so on. For every ten times the transaction value, you can be promoted once."
"Doesn't that mean that I need 10 million Bobo coins to advance to a Diamond Member?"
Lin Bei muttered. Thinking of Shopkeeper Jin, he could not help but swallow.
Damn, this was a ruthless person!
10 million Bobo Coins, this was not 10 million Gold Coins!
With such a high transaction value, even Lin Bei felt pressured.
Moreover, 10 million was only the threshold to become a diamond member. As long as it was below 100 million, they would still be a diamond member!
"Damn, Master Jin is still the fiercest! No wonder he didn't even blink when he took out 10,000 Bobo coins!"
Lin Bei was extremely envious.
When can I be so awesome?
With a sigh, Lin Bei opened the gray cloth bag and began to check the attributes and prices of these items.
Earth Blood Mushroom: Constitution permanently increases by 100 points after consumption. Price: 2,500 Bobo coins.
Magic Marrow Fruit: After consumption, Magic Strength will permanently increase by 100 points. Price: 1,500 Bobo coins.
Gale Powder: After consumption, Agility will permanently increase by 100 points. Price: 2,500 Bobo Coins.
Strength Pill: After taking it, your Physical Strength will permanently increase by 100 points. Price: 1,000 Bobo Coins.
Twelve-Flavored Heavenly Blue Pill: After consumption, all basic attributes will increase by 100 points. Price: 8,000 Bobo coins.
…
In the cloth bag, there were more than ten items that could permanently increase one's attributes. However, there was a limited number of them, and he could not buy as many as he wanted.
However, it was enough for Lin Bei.
Currently, he had 25,800 Bobo coins on him and could not buy much.
"By the way, will the effect be weakened if I consume these things repeatedly?"
Lin Bei asked.
"Of course! Generally speaking, unless the quality reaches extraordinary levels, the effect will be less obvious. Normally, the same medicine that increases attributes will have no effect after being used ten times."
Bobo explained patiently.
"Alright, I'll buy two Twelve-Flavored Heavenly Blue Pills, two stalks of Earth Blood Mushroom, and two packets of Gale Powder."
As Lin Bei spoke, he took out all his Bobo coins and said helplessly, "But I only have 25,800 Bobo coins. I'm short by 200. Can you sell them to me?"
"Well… Alright, I'll sell them to you. Who asked me to have a good relationship with your teacher!"
Bobo put away the Bobo Coins with a smile and gave Lin Bei what he had mentioned. Then, he waved his hand, and the surrounding space suddenly changed. In the next second, Lin Bei returned to Green Mountain City.
"Uh… are you in such a hurry to send me away?"
Lin Bei shrugged helplessly, but he did not care. In any case, he had achieved his goal. Now, he had obtained a few more items to increase his attributes.
He directly consumed them. Other than his Magic Strength and Physical Strength, all his attributes had increased by 380 points!
—Basic Attributes (No Bonus) —
Constitution: 750
Physical Strength: 370
Magic Strength: 1,570
Agility: 800
—
"Very good! With such basic attributes, after I use the Divinity Fragment, my attributes of the real world will increase by several times!"
Lin Bei was a little excited. He took out the voice transmission talisman and contacted Alina.
Unfortunately, Alina was currently on a mission and would need a day to return.
This was a long time for Lin Bei.
"Forget it, I'll synchronize my attributes first! My current attributes are not low!"
Lin Bei gritted his teeth and made a decision.
He could not wait to transform his attributes!
It was worth mentioning that after consuming these items that increased his attributes, under the enhancement of various Buffs, other than Physical Strength, his Agility and Constitution had both broken through 2,000 points and reached the limit!
However, his two attributes did not directly break through the limit!
Second Limit Breaking Requirement: 10 Divinity Points.
Third Limit Breaking Requirement: 50 Divinity Points.
...
"There's actually a divinity requirement!"
Lin Bei frowned. This was something he had not expected.
This was because even he had only completed the Agility Breakthrough in his previous life. As for some top players, there were indeed people who had reached the dual attribute breakthrough, but there was no news of the breakthrough requirement.
"They've indeed blocked the information about the divinity item!"
Lin Bei immediately reacted. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
However, he could not blame anyone for this. If it were him, he would have made the same choice.
Still, in this life, he was ahead of everyone!
"Looks like if I want to break through the attribute limit, I have to use the Divinity Fragment to synchronize the attributes as soon as possible. When the attribute transformation is completed, I'll enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm and challenge more Ruins Guardians to obtain more Divine Items, so that I can increase my Divinity Points and break through the attribute limit!"
Lin Bei frowned and immediately made a decision.
Without any hesitation, he rented a room in the inn and chose to use the Divinity Fragment.
Are you sure you want to use the Divinity Fragment? Attention! After using the Divinity Fragment, you will enter a dormant state for 5 hours!
...
"Confirmed!"
In Lin Bei's hand, the divine fragment emitted a rich light and turned into a cocoon of light that enveloped Lin Bei.
At the same time, in the real world, the light on the login device spread out, and a cocoon of light also appeared, wrapping his body.
Lin Bei's consciousness gradually fell asleep.
…
At the same time, in a ruin on the Divine Opening Server, Apollo's expression was furious. He glared at the team behind him that only had less than a hundred people left and was extremely depressed.
He failed again!
These people were too trash!
It was just a simple cooperation, but they actually made frequent mistakes!
This way, how could he defeat that Ruins Guardian?
After completing this hidden mission, he would obtain a Level 80 Diamond Magic Sword. With this Magic Sword, his strength would definitely increase explosively!
At that time, no one in the entire WWL professional competition would be his match!
Even the Longevity Sword that used the Ultimate Potion could not do it!
"Hmph, that's all for today! Go back and summarize. Meet here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning! I hope to defeat this Boss tomorrow!"
Apollo was in a bad mood. After saying this, he went offline.
Fortunately, there was still half a month before the league began. Before that, there was still a challenge to be carried out. He still had time to complete this hidden mission.
"Hmph, this year's championship is still ours! I will continue to be the MVP and continue to rule the competition!"
Apollo snorted inwardly. He took a shower and went to sleep.
He had a beautiful dream. In his dream, he had his wish fulfilled. He used the diamond-grade magic sword to sweep in all directions and led the Divine Descent Team to win the championship again! As the MVP, he had even obtained a prize of more than 1 billion Ocean Blue coins!
In his sleep, Apollo's lips curled up slightly. "Heh… hehe, I… am indeed the strongest."
…
The night passed.
The sky was still bright when Lin Bei, who was lying on the bed in the dormitory, slowly woke up.
After a night, he completed the first attribute synchronization.
82 Attribute Synchronization! Superman Lin Bei! (1)
"Oh… This feeling is really refreshing."
Lin Bei stretched and muttered, "Is this considered completing the attribute synchronization? I wonder how many attributes I have now. If only I could check."
However, just as this thought arose in his heart, a light screen similar to the attribute interface of Second World games appeared in front of him.
—-|—-
Name: Lin Bei
Profession: None
Constitution: 47.5 (37.5↑)
Physical Strength: 24.5 (18.5↑)
Magic Strength: 96.5 (78.5↑)
Agility: 48 (40↑)
Divinity: 5 (5↑)
—-|—-
"They actually increased so much!"
Lin Bei looked at his current attributes in the attribute list, and his eyes lit up.
Especially his Magic Strength, it was close to 100 points!
"Can I control things remotely?"
Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat and he immediately perked up. He looked at the pen holder on the desk.
Whoosh!
A pen shot out and instantly pierced through the bed!
"Damn! So powerful!"
Lin Bei's eyes trembled. He had only tried controlling it just now, but he had accidentally pierced through the bed!
"Looks like 100 points of Magic Strength is very powerful! I have to familiarize myself with it."
Lin Bei thought to himself and carefully controlled the pens in the pen holder to move slowly.
Half an hour later, Lin Bei could finally easily control the movement trajectory of nine pens at the same time, but it would be a little difficult to control any more.
"Could it be related to Magic Strength? Every 10 points of Magic Strength can allow me to control an additional weapon?"
Lin Bei was puzzled, but he could not testify.
He even tried to concentrate on controlling the bed and realized that he could still move it easily.
"This Magic Strength feels good."
Lin Bei sighed and forcefully suppressed the thought of testing his full strength.
This was the school dormitory. Although it was a holiday and there was almost no one else in the school, if he did anything rash, he was very likely to be discovered!
At that time, it would be difficult!
"Looks like I have to rent a place as soon as possible. It's very inconvenient to stay in the school dormitory all the time."
Lin Bei thought to himself. He looked at the game helmets piled up in his wardrobe and felt a little helpless.
"I didn't expect that this Divinity Fragment could really synchronize the attributes to the real world! From the looks of it, this Second World is not as simple as it looks!" 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Lin Bei clenched his fists. He felt full of strength!
"This attribute synchronization really feels like the marrow cleansing mentioned in online novels. After being strengthened by the Divinity Fragment, I feel different. My body is also light, and my ears and eyes are sharp. My senses have become much better!"
Lin Bei said in a low voice, "I'm like Superman now!"
However, his bed was simply disgusting.
It was covered in black mud and was reeking, making Lin Bei feel helpless.
"Take a shower, go out for a walk, and feel this brand new power!"
Lin Bei took a shower and left the dormitory building in his clothes. He came to the field and ran.
"So easy!"
As soon as he started running, Lin Bei felt something different.
His legs seemed to be filled with strength, as if he could run dozens of meters with a little force!
"With my current physical fitness, I can probably easily break through 5 seconds to run 100 meters! If I go at full speed, I can break through 4 seconds!"
Lin Bei was extremely shocked. Then, he jumped up gently. Shua, with just a light jump, he jumped more than two meters high.
"Damn, this jumping ability is simply heaven-defying."
Lin Bei looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one.
With his current strength, he could jump at least seven to eight meters high with his full strength! This was even higher than the world record for pole vaulting!
"This improvement is too terrifying!"
Lin Bei could not hide his excitement. He wanted to run happily, but he could not do that.
Although he had been strengthened by the Divinity Fragment, he had not been strengthened enough!
With his current physical fitness, although it had already exceeded the scope of ordinary humans, he was still made of flesh and blood. He would probably die from a bullet.
However, this was a good start!
...
He believed that with his current strength enhanced by the Divinity Fragment, it would be easy for him to defeat Jian Yi if he entered the game again!
Previously, he could not deal with Jian Yi because his reaction speed was slow. But now, after strengthening, his reaction speed had increased by a lot!
In the past, his extreme reaction time was 0.1 seconds.
But now, his extreme reaction time had been reduced to 0.05 seconds!
Previously, Jian Yi's extreme reaction speed was only 0.07 seconds. Now, he could completely hang the other party up and beat him up!
This was all the benefits of the Divinity Fragment!
"Phew… My Constitution is close to 50 points now. I wonder how much it has improved me."
Lin Bei was a little hesitant. He came to a corner of the stadium and shouted in a low voice, punching the ground!
BANG!
The ground shook slightly, and a sunken fist mark three to four centimeters deep appeared.
On the other hand, his fist was only slightly red. It did not even scratch his skin!
...
"So powerful!"
Lin Bei was stunned.
If it was an ordinary person, their bones would have long been fractured, and it would be a complete fracture!
However, he was completely fine!
He felt like he had just punched a sandbag. Although it was a little numb, it did not affect him at all!
83 Attribute Synchronization! Superman Lin Bei! (2)
Lin Bei took a deep breath. At this moment, he was extremely excited.
Damn, this was too awesome!
Especially his Magic Strength. Through telekinesis, he could control nine items to attack the enemy at the same time! If it was a weapon like a blade, he could easily cut off someone's head!
Moreover, under the control of Magic Strength, the flying blades were extremely agile and dangerous, even surpassing bullets!
After all, the bullet's trajectory was straight, but Lin Bei's flying blades could change directions at will!
"I didn't expect that I would obtain such a huge improvement with just one Divinity Fragment! If I had more Divine Dust or Divinity Fragment, how strong would I be?"
It was unimaginable!
Lin Bei's breathing was heavy. He quickly took a pile of sand from the track and field at the side and laid it on the depression he had punched out previously. After hesitating for a few seconds, he took another stone and smashed it hard on the depression a few times. After disguising the fist mark, he heaved a sigh of relief.
It was better to be safe than sorry. Who knew if this fist mark would be discovered by someone who was bored enough to come here for a stroll?
Before his strength was truly enhanced to the point where he could look down on everyone, it was best to be careful!
After dealing with the traces of the fist mark, Lin Bei jogged out of the field.
"Have some breakfast."
Lin Bei was familiar with the place. He bought soy milk and fried dough sticks and ate them as he walked.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Suddenly, an anxious voice came from behind. Then, a petite figure jogged to Lin Bei. After sizing him up a few times, she said excitedly, "It's really you! You're that Combat Priest, right?"
"Eh?"
Lin Bei was stunned and surprised.
Someone had actually recognized him?
In the game, he had the Transformation Technique.
Now, he was showing his transformed face to others. Under normal circumstances, he should not have been discovered.
"Hmph, no matter how well you disguise yourself, you can't escape my eyes!"
The girl blinked and said with a smile, "My gaming talent is a Level A talent. One of its functions is to see through all disguises! You can't hide from me!"
The girl looked smug.
"Uh… May I ask who you are?"
Lin Bei was a little confused and scratched his head.
'Do I know this young lady?'
"You! I'm Balala Fairy! We met in the Duel Space before!"
The girl said angrily.
"Ah? Oh… it's you."
When Lin Bei heard this, he sized the other party up before reacting.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be a student of Magic City University! You escaped previously. Now, you can't escape!"
"That's hard to say."
Lin Bei smiled and turned around to run away. He was so fast that Balala Fairy had no intention of chasing after him.
Wasn't he running too fast?
Could he be from the Physical Education Department?
Hmph, who cares which department he is from! I've already created an account in the Heavenly Might Server. I'll be able to join the Azure Plume Guild soon. At that time, I don't believe you can hide anywhere!
Wait and see!
Balala Fairy stomped her feet and angrily left.
…
On the other side, Lin Bei was a little helpless.
What's wrong with this young lady? We don't have any grudges, right?
Wasn't it just insta-killing you and confiscating your gold coins?
Is it necessary?
No, I can't stay in school anymore. I have to move out quickly!
"Yes, I'm going to the Azure Plume Corporation today. Previously, Green asked me to go over and sign the contract. I can go over and ask if she has an empty house where I can stay for a while."
Lin Bei thought about it and had a plan.
With so many gaming helmets, piling them in the dormitory was not a solution. It was fine now, but when school started, it would be strange if he did not expose himself!
He currently indeed needed a place where no one would disturb him. He needed to farm some Divinity Dust and Divinity Fragments to increase his strength!
"Moreover, attribute breakthroughs require enough divinity points. This matter is still relatively urgent!"
Lin Bei pondered and said, "According to Jian Yi, Apollo is about to obtain the Divinity Dust. I have to speed up!"
…
Jia Mei Empire, Divine Descent Club.
Apollo slept well.
"I hope I can successfully defeat the Boss today. This way, I can obtain the reward!"
...
…
Heavenly Might Server, Green Mountain City. After a night of hard work, Cao Fei Apollo finally completed the advancement of the Level S hidden profession. At this moment, he was in high spirits.
"Hmph, Inner Peace, the next time we meet, I'll beat you up until you find your teeth all over the ground!"
Cao Fei Apollo smiled brightly. He had just completed his profession advancement and his strength had increased a lot. Coupled with the two days of hard training, his movement technique had improved a lot. Now that he was facing that man again, he was confident that he could defeat him!
"Teacher Monka, thank you!"
"Haha, it's a small matter! You have to work hard in the future! Do you hear me?"
"Don't worry! I won't disappoint you!"
"Alright! You're ambitious! How about this? Accept a B-rank bounty mission as an entry trial for you. After completing it, I'll teach you the Level 20 skill of the Bloodthirsty Berserker for free. How about that?"
Monka laughed and patted his beloved disciple on the shoulder.
"Ah? A B-rank bounty mission?"
Cao Fei Apollo was a little stunned.
...
Damn it, I have to face a Sector-Lord tier Boss. It's a little troublesome to deal with that now!
Most importantly, his attributes were much worse! It was difficult to block!
"What's wrong? Is it difficult?"
"Uh… no."
Cao Fei Apollo braced himself.
"Alright, I'll give you a day to complete the B-rank bounty mission. It's fine if you fail, but the reward will be gone!"
Monka smiled and waved his hand, "Go, I still have something to do. After completing the mission, just inform the boss at the Bloodshed Tavern to contact me! I'm leaving!"
Swoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Monka disappeared without a trace.
In the Temple Square, Cao Fei Apollo was extremely depressed. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎l.𝚘rg
"This is a B-rank bounty mission! A Sector-Lord tier Boss! Sigh, forget it. I'll think of a way to buy some items and try to fight it. What if I succeed?"
He was wearing a Level 20 Gold Set now. Although his attributes were still a little lacking, as long as he bought some items to support him, it was not impossible for him to win.
"I'll treat it as a test of the training during this period of time!"
Cao Fei Apollo was filled with fighting spirit.
"But speaking of which, the National Challenge Competition is about to begin, right? I wonder if that kid can do it. If he loses, he has to give me the shares of Azure Plume! Heh, wanting to directly win consecutively from NWL and rush into WWL? Impossible! I'll just wait to collect the shares in peace."
Cao Fei Apollo chuckled and shook his head. "This Azure Plume Guild is indeed not bad. At this rate, it's possible to dominate the entire Heavenly Might Server! When the time comes, the shares will belong to me. Haha, it's wonderful."
…
On the other side, Lin Bei took a taxi to Azure Plume Corporation.
He had to sign the contract and take a look at the strength of the team members before giving them special training.
After all, although a full lineup of fighters looked simple, it was actually not that simple.
The idea of focusing fire and the team's profession combination were both sophisticated.
"Green, I'm here."
"Alright! Wait a moment. I'll pick you up immediately!"
Lin Bei stood under a tall building and looked up at the huge words "Azure Plume Corporation". He felt extremely comfortable.
"Next, what I have to do is to increase my strength and build Azure Plume into a true business empire!"
Not only do I want to enter the WWL Professional League, but I also want to win the championship!
84 Direct Attack Strategy? How Can We Lose?
Soon, Lin Bei arrived at the training room of the Azure Plume Group under the lead of Green Collar.
"Let me introduce you. This is Inner Peace. At the same time, he's the CEO of our Azure Plume Corporation."
Green Collar introduced Lin Bei to everyone.
"Hello, CEO!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Alright, don't call me CEO. From now on, I'm the captain and coach of our team. Just call me captain or coach."
Lin Bei waved his hand and went straight to the point. "Tell me about your level and profession, as well as your ranking points. By the way, tell me about your win rate of 1v1 duels."
"I'll go first! Lone Desert Smoke, Lv.87, Level A Oath Paladin, 4,650 ranking points, more than 2,200 1v1 matches, win rate 69.6%."
"Big shot! It's me! I'm So Scared. Level 87, Level A, Ghostly Archer, 4,791 ranking points. I'm back in the top 500, ranked No. 496! I've fought more than 6,000 solo matches. My win rate is 75.6%!"
"Uninterested, Lv.72, Level A Hidden Profession Shadow Assassin, 4,820 ranking points, No.469. I've fought more than 10,000 solo matches. My win rate is 77.6%!"
"Traceless Sword, Lv.15, basic profession, cough cough… I haven't fought ranking games yet."
A shy young man said awkwardly.
"Haha, little brother, don't be nervous. I'm similar to you! Coach, I'm Lone Traveler. I'm Level 16. I'm a professional warrior. My future development direction is a Shield Bearer."
A bearded man said. He looked like he was almost 30 years old, but Lin Bei knew that this guy was not even 20 years old.
"Sigh, I really don't know what's going on with the team. They actually roped in players just above Level 10 to join the team. I think we should not quit."
At this moment, a young man with blond hair walked forward and said proudly, "Scum Gray, Level 89, Level A Flaming Meteor, ranking No.297. I fought 3,000 solo matches and my win rate is 81.2%. I've passed the trial training in the third team of Divine Descent previously, but because there were few chances and it was difficult to make a name for myself, I quit."
The yellow-haired young man looked arrogant.
"Wow, so powerful! He actually passed the third team's training! I heard that the overall strength of the third team is stronger than those top SWL teams! I didn't expect our team to have such a big shot! Looks like there's hope of advancing!"
"That's right. He's also in the top 300 on the ranking. He's definitely a big shot!"
"After all, he's a big shot who can pass the trial of the third team. He's awesome!"
Around him, some team members discussed. Their eyes were filled with envy and admiration as they looked at the blond youth.
"Got it. Next."
Lin Bei nodded and did not say anything.
To him, being able to pass the trial of Divine Descent was not something worth bragging about.
Moreover, he heard from the blondie that he quit on his own, but who knew the details?
Perhaps he was eliminated?
The high ranking points did not mean everything. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙣𝒆𝙩
Moreover, No.297 was nothing much. Let's not talk about others. Take that I'm So Afraid for example. As long as Lin Bei trained him well, he could completely rush into the top 300 in a day.
"Hey, I passed the trial training of Divine Descent's third team! Do you know the value of this, Coach?"
The yellow-haired young man was obviously dissatisfied with Lin Bei's attitude. He immediately frowned and said, "Hmph, you're too unprofessional! You have to know that Divine Descent is…"
"Stop talking, Scum Gray, right? You're fired."
Lin Bei frowned and said to Green Collar, "Green, our team is recruiting members, not bosses. If we encounter someone with such an attitude in the future, no matter how strong they are, we'll reject them immediately."
"Okay."
Green Collar nodded when she heard this. She looked at the stunned blond youth and smiled. "I'm sorry, you're fired. But don't worry, we'll compensate you according to the content of the contract. Little Li, take him through the procedures."
Soon, a bespectacled woman came over and took the blond youth away.
"Damn! You'll regret it! What trash team? I don't want to stay here! You want to win the National Challenge Competition and enter WWL? Stop dreaming! Do you know how strong the top team in SWL is? Hmph, without me, you're all noobs!"
The yellow-haired young man looked fierce on the outside but was cowardly on the inside. He cursed angrily, "Just wait to be laughed at by others! You actually found two newbies from the new server to form a team. What a joke! I'm dying of laughter!"
The blondie slammed the door and left.
In the training room, one could hear a pin drop.
"Um… Green, remember to let that kid pay for this door."
Lin Bei smiled and ignored the blondie's scolding. Instead, he looked at the team members with ugly expressions and said, "Alright, everyone has their own path. Just walk your own! The rest of you, continue to report your information. I'll take notes and we'll start our training in the team immediately."
"Huh? We're starting now?"
The group was stunned.
"That's right. The competition is the day after tomorrow. We're pressed for time."
Lin Bei smiled and nodded. After hearing everyone's information, he got Green Collar to find two gaming helmets. They were a B-class Gold Swordsman and a B-class Gold Shield Warrior. They were relatively common professions in the arena. They were average, but they did not have many shortcomings.
"Traceless Sword, use the Gold Swordsman account and Lone Traveler, use the Gold Shield Warrior account. Let's assign teams."
Lin Bei gathered everyone and divided the teams.
Now, the team, including Lin Bei, had exactly 40 people. They could be divided into two teams of 20 people.
Lin Bei divided the top 20 people into a team, while he formed a team with Traceless Sword, Lone Traveler and some others.
"Alright, let's go online and enter the Duel Space to prepare for training."
Lin Bei directly instructed, "On my side, I'll assign the tactics. On your side… Do as you see fit. Ten minutes of preparation time. After that, we'll start fighting. I'll tell you in advance that we're preparing to use the direct attack strategy."
"Direct attack strategy?"
As soon as Lin Bei finished speaking, the members of both teams were stunned.
Did I hear wrongly?
...
He actually wants to use the strategy of the noobs?
It was barely a strategy. To put it simply, the direct attack strategy was actually fighting blindly!
A group of noobs rushed forward and slashed at everyone they saw. This was called the direct attack strategy!
There was no order at all!
It could be said to be the most primitive fighting style!
Not to mention WWL, even in the NWL competition, no one would use the direct attack strategy!
There was no other reason. This tactic was too trashy!
Moreover, it was painful to the eyes!
Not only was it ugly, but it was also trash. Of course, no one would use it!
"Coach, the direct attack strategy… Are you sure?"
"Positive."
...
Lin Bei smiled and said, "Alright, let's cut to the chase. You should worry about your own tactics. Our direct attack strategy is not the ordinary direct attack strategy. Don't lose too badly!"
"Lose?"
The members of the other team looked at each other and held back their laughter.
Our side is already strong. Moreover, you guys are using the direct attack strategy. How can we possibly lose?
Impossible!
A sure win!
"It's not that I want to be cynical, coach, but this direct attack strategy is really useless!"
On the other side, Uninterested commented, "If you don't believe me, watch carefully later. We'll let you see what a real massacre is!"
"Alright! Then let's make a bet. If you're slaughtered by us later, you have to sign a long-term contract for me. Do you dare to bet? Of course, if we lose, I'll give you a salary increase of 1 million."
Lin Bei smiled and asked.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a small direct attack strategy. What big waves can you cause? It will be a massacre. If you don't believe me, watch carefully!"
Uninterested's lit up when he heard that. A million increase in salary? That was a good thing!
Haha, he was really lucky!
"Brothers, listen to my instructions later! When we win, I'll treat everyone to a feast!"
Uninterested said to the other team members.
"Alright! I'll listen to you!"
"That's right. If you say it's a massacre, it's a massacre! Isn't Coach's direct attack strategy still the direct attack strategy? It's the same. A massacre!"
"Haha, I want to eat Australian lobster!"
Everyone went online with a smile. Only I'm So Scared frowned and said hesitantly, "Hey, I think everyone should be careful. Our coach is not an ordinary person. We might fail!"
"Haha, do you believe yourself? I'll leave my words here. If the other party really uses the direct attack strategy and we lose, I'll perform handstand pooping, okay?"
Lone Desert Smoke laughed. He did not care about the so-called direct attack strategy at all.
"Haha, if you say that, I don't even want to win anymore!"
"That's right! I want to see you perform!"
"Should I drag you down later?"
"…"
The group of teammates teased, and the atmosphere was extremely happy.
On the other side, Lin Bei had already entered the Duel Space. He created a room and pulled his team members into it. He began to transmit his tactical thoughts.
His direct attack strategy was not the ordinary direct attack strategy of the noobs!
His direct attack strategy was the invincible direct attack strategy that had ruled the entire professional league for three years in his previous life!
"Hehe, you guys can just wait to cry later."
Lin Bei chuckled. This way, he could sign a long contract with Uninterested and let him work in his team. This was good news for Lin Bei.
After the team members arrived, Lin Bei began to explain his tactics.
"There are three things that are most important in the direct attack strategy!"
"First, endurance!"
"Second, concentration!"
"Third, focus fire!"
"Next, I'll give you a simple introduction to the basics of the direct attack strategy and some simple game handling. The time is tight, so let's keep it short…"
Soon, ten minutes passed.
The first battle of the team's training began!
85 Massacre! (1)
"Coach, according to you, can we really win?"
Someone in the team asked.
Initially, they did not believe that the direct attack strategy could win.
However, after hearing Lin Bei's introduction of tactics and guidelines, they wavered.
This direct attack strategy… didn't seem simple.
Although it sounded simple, it did seem unsolvable.
"Don't worry, the most important thing is endurance. With me around, there won't be any accidents!"
Lin Bei smiled and said, "As for the rest, you should familiarize yourselves with it. Although the direct attack strategy is simple, it's not that simple. Only in the arena can you fully train yourselves."
"As for cooperation, the direct attack strategy does not highlight that. It's best if you have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't. When the time comes, just do as I instructed you just now. Remember, don't bring your brains. It's fine if you act rashly."
"Alright! The other party's ranking points are on average 300 points higher than ours. If we can defeat them, haha, just thinking about it feels good!"
Everyone was excited.
Could the direct attack strategy really win?
They were filled with anticipation.
…
In the arena, two teams gathered.
On the other side, Uninterested smiled. "Coach, are you ready to be slaughtered by us?" 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝗺
Lin Bei smiled and waved his hand. He ignored him and said, "Charge!"
"Alright!"
Everyone chuckled and rushed to the opposite side.
The Shield Warriors and Knights were at the front, and the Assassins disappeared in Stealth. The others followed behind the front row. All kinds of AoE Buffs kept stacking up, and colorful lights wrapped around their bodies as they rushed towards the opposing camp like crazy bulls.
"F*ck, no morals!"
Seeing this, Uninterested cursed silently. He had yet to finish his trash talk when the other party rushed forward!
Fortunately, many people on their side had crowd control skills. They were not afraid at all!
"How dare they charge together? Do they want to die quickly enough? Slow them down and kite them to death!"
Uninterested made a judgment. "Ghost Archer, cover them with a group attack. Let them have a good time!"
"Good!"
Everyone reacted instantly.
The slowing and control skills were instantly released, covering Lin Bei and the others.
At the same time, I'm So Scared directly released the Bewitching Ghost Fog and the Ghostly Rain of Arrows!
The other team members with long-range attacks also attacked one after another, throwing all kinds of skills at the Bewitching Ghost Fog.
"Ignore it. Continue charging!"
Lin Bei smiled coldly when he saw this. The Spell Wave combined with the Purification Spell directly dispelled the control effect on everyone's bodies. Then, he added a layer of recovery spells to everyone.
In an instant, everyone's health instantly rose, ignoring the swarming attacks!
"Haha, are you giving me a shower? I like it!"
Lone Traveler laughed and was the first to rush out of the Bewitching Ghost Fog. He charged in front of a knight.
"Taunt!"
"Battle intent!"
BOOM!
In an instant, before this knight could react, he was controlled by Bewitching Ghost Fog's Taunt and involuntarily rushed towards him.
"Remove his control! Heal him!"
Uninterested shouted. The Priests and Paladins in the team instantly attacked, and their skills landed on the Paladin who was being controlled.
However, at this moment, a group of burly men rushed out of the fog and attacked the knight.
"Kill him!"
"Hoho, I'm coming!"
Seven or eight people instantly surrounded him. As soon as the Knight was released from the crowd control, he was killed by a group of people before he could recover.
"Charge, charge, charge!"
Lin Bei hung behind the crowd and was only in charge of removing crowd control and healing everyone. As for the rest, it all depended on their performance.
Fortunately, the direct attack strategy was relatively simple. Simply put, it was to slash anyone they saw, regardless of whether it was someone weak or a tank. Whoever was close would be attacked first. Everyone nearby would attack together and focus fire.
In this way, as long as the healer could keep up, the other party's formation would quickly be torn apart. At that time, without cooperation, in a close combat situation, there would only be death!
"Damn, what kind of focus fire efficiency is this?"
When Uninterested saw this, his eyes widened.
"Quickly control the situation! We can't let them get any closer!"
Uninterested shouted, "Assassin, enter Stealth and cut their healers with me. Without endurance, they won't be able to hold on!"
In an instant, Uninterested and the other two Assassins in the team entered Stealth mode. They circled around the crowd and headed straight for Lin Bei at the back of the crowd.
...
The three assassins attacked from three directions at the same time!
"I've been waiting for you!"
Lin Bei smiled and waved his staff casually, easily blocking the combined attacks of the three of them.
Perfect block!
Not a single drop of blood!
"F*ck, what kind of operation is this? I'm vomiting!"
Uninterested was completely numb.
All three directions were perfectly blocked. Was he even human?
However, it was not enough. Uninterested still reacted quickly. He immediately raised the Smoke Grenade and went into Stealth again, disappearing.
However, the other two Assassins were in trouble. They were surrounded by a few burly men who had returned to defend. They screamed and fell to the ground.
The third point of the direct attack strategy was grouping up!
...
At this moment, it played a key role!
They formed a metal bucket. If the healer could keep up, even if they were controlled, they could grind the other party to death!
Once they were given a chance, everyone would swarm forward and tear apart the other party's formation. No matter how powerful the other party's attributes were, they would be killed one by one.
The direct attack strategy weakened the skill coordination and strengthened the efficiency of focused fire. Although it looked like a shameless fighting style and did not have any aesthetics, the key was practicality. If a god blocked their way, they would kill a god. If a Buddha blocked their way, they would kill a Buddha.
86 Massacre! (2)
"Coach, one ran away!"
A Warrior shouted with bloodshot eyes.
"Ignore him. Continue charging and disrupt their formation. We're invincible in close combat!"
"Alright! Attack together! Kill them!"
The group of people felt their blood boil. They roared and charged forward. All the hostile crowd control skills were dispelled by Lin Bei's Purification Spell.
In less than ten seconds, a group of people had already rushed into the crowd and started a massacre.
That's right, a massacre!
These people had lost a lot of Magic Power just now in order to focus fire and control the situation. Moreover, many skills were on cooldown. However, it was different for Lin Bei's team. From the beginning to the end, apart from some AoE Buffs, only Lone Traveler had used two skills. Everyone else had full skills!
"Take this!"
"Sledgehammer Sparks!"
"Flying Meteor!"
"Invincible Slash!"
"Blade Storm!"
…
With the principle of killing the nearest, the group of burly men were like locusts passing through, killing their opponents who had lost their formation one by one!
In less than half a minute, there was only a sliding and dodging "I'm So Scared" and an "Uninterested" in Stealth.
"Damn, I told you not to underestimate the direct attack strategy. In the end, you didn't listen to me. Now, you're all dead!"
I'm So Scared kept sliding and dodging. His face was filled with gloom.
How could this direct attack strategy be so powerful?
It didn't make sense!
This was a trash tactic recognized by all players!
However, in the other party's hands, it was ridiculously strong!
A massacre?
That's right, it was indeed a massacre, but the target of the massacre had changed!
They were the ones being slaughtered!
"Damn, this kid is so slippery! He can dodge so well!"
A group of people were chasing after I'm So Scared. They were annoyed by the other party's sliding and dodging.
"Leave it to me!"
Right at that moment, Traceless Sword opened his mouth and activated Gale Steps. His movement speed suddenly increased. Then, he used Sword Assault and instantly closed the distance between them.
Ding!
Block and deflection!
The arrow flew back and stabbed into I'm So Scared's knee.
You've been shot in the knee! Movement speed reduced by 30%. Duration: 5 seconds.
Slide Step range reduced by 30%. Duration: 5 seconds.
"Damn! You can do that?"
I'm So Scared cursed in his heart and shot an arrow, sliding to dodge.
As expected, he only slid for 20 meters before stopping.
Ding!
Block and deflection!
The arrow flew back, and his other knee was also shot.
You've been shot in the knee! Movement speed reduced by 30%. Duration: 5 seconds.
Slide Step range reduced by 30% for 5 seconds.
I'm So Scared: ∑ (O_O;)
He was going to die! 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐧𝗲𝘁
As expected, when his knees were shot by arrows, a group of burly men shouted and quickly surrounded him, sending him to the afterlife together.
In the arena, only Uninterested, who had just used the Mist Stealth to leave the battlefield and was prepared to wait for another opportunity, was left.
"An opportunity… for what!"
Uninterested was stunned. He had only come out to cut the back row. Where was everyone? Why were they all dead?
I don't understand!
Is the direct attack strategy that awesome?
No way!
What went wrong?
Uninterested could not understand.
"Discipline Spell!"
...
Lin Bei smiled and cast a Discipline Spell at a corner.
Swoosh!
A white light flashed and Uninterested's corpse appeared.
The battle is over! Inner Peace's team wins! The score is 20:0!
"Haha! We won!"
"This is awesome! Direct attack strategy, greatest of all time!"
"Haha, let them look down on us. They wanted to slaughter us? They've been slaughtered this time, right?"
"Awesome! Too awesome! I can't help but want to start another round! My saber is already thirsty!"
The group of people did not suffer any losses in a single battle. It was a proper massacre!
All the team members looked at Lin Bei with admiration.
The coach was awesome!
...
He could actually turn the direct attack strategy into something magical!
It was simply too awesome!
One had to know that be it level or profession, the opponents were much higher than them!
But even so, they still won completely!
What did this mean?
It was a tactical victory!
After leaving the Duel Space, Lin Bei called over Green Collar, who was in a daze. He smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and draft a contract to trap Uninterested in Azure Plume."
"Ah? Oh, okay, I'll do it now!"
Green Collar came back to her senses. She was excited and still in disbelief. "Is the direct attack strategy really that powerful?"
"Of course, this is an invincible tactic now. Even if we encounter a WWL team, we can still fight!"
Lin Bei smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry. This time, we will definitely be able to pass the Challenger League and enter WWL! Moreover, our goal is not as simple as entering WWL. We want to win the championship! Next, it will be our Azure Plume Dynasty!"
"Direct attack strategy, invincible!"
"Direct attack strategy, invincible!"
"Direct attack strategy, invincible!"
Everyone in the training room was extremely excited.
Before this, they had only formed a team for less than two days!
But now, they saw hope!
That was because their coach was too awesome!
Not only was his individual PK skills awesome, but his tactics were also awesome!
They believed that as long as they followed him, their future would be bright!
Of course, they were still a little uncertain about Lin Bei's bold words. After all, WWL was the top team in the entire Second World. They had just formed a team and were going to challenge him. To be honest, they were still afraid.
However, they believed that as long as they trained hard, they would definitely have a chance to advance to WWL next year!
As for this year… Ahem, it was impossible to say that they did not want to enter. The key was that their strength was worrying.
"Everyone, don't panic. I mean what I say about this matter. Next, someone will arrange scrims with other professional teams. You'll understand when the time comes!"
Lin Bei smiled. These people were indeed a little weak.
However, wasn't there still time?
There was still more than half a month before the WWL Professional League. During this period of time, it was enough to increase the strength of the team members. Moreover, with his current strength, he could easily equip his team members with Diamond-grade or even Obsidian-grade equipment. When the time came, with all their equipment and tactics, it would be difficult not to win!
What's more, he had three good seedlings at the MVP level. As long as they were trained well, they would grow quickly!
Moreover, he had now synchronized his attributes and his reaction speed far exceeded that of ordinary people. The current him was fearless!
So what if Apollo obtained the Divinity Dust?
Next, he could enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm and farm more Divine Dust. At that time, if he converted it all, his attributes would definitely increase greatly!
"I look forward to that day."
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth curled up slightly as he smiled in his heart.
87 Potion Stolen! Opportunity!
"Alright, next, train well. I'll write a document about some basic tactics for the direct attack strategy. When it's out, you guys should hurry up and practice."
Lin Bei quickly arranged the training mission and left the training room to find Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume.
"By the way, I need to move. Do you have a suitable place?"
"Huh? Are you moving in with your girlfriend?"
!
Unparalleled Plume asked excitedly.
"Ahem, no."
Lin Bei was helpless.
"I see. Alright then."
Unparalleled Plume shrugged and said, "I'm living with Green now. If you want to stay, you can go to my villa. However, the rent is not cheap!"
"Address, price."
"It's in Lihai Garden, the ninth building. As for the price, 100,000 yuan a month. It is very cheap!"
"What did you say?"
"Number 9, Lihai Garden. What's wrong?"
"…So it's you."
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth twitched slightly. He recalled that his rental application had been rejected by the owner. He remembered that the rental information was No. 9 of Lihai Garden.
Moreover, he remembered that the rent was only 60,000 a month, right?
Good lord, the price had directly increased, right?
"What's me?"
Unparalleled Plume was stunned and did not understand.
"See for yourself if this is your house."
Lin Bei could not be bothered to explain. He sent the chat record of his rental application to Unparalleled Plume.
Xiao Yu: Villa No. 9 of Lihai Garden. Urgently looking for a renter. 60,000 a month, for half a year or longer! The owner is going abroad for studies. If you're interested, contact me directly!
Xiao Yu: I'm not renting it anymore! The epidemic overseas is serious, and the owner is not leaving the country! Sorry to the tenant who contacted me previously!
"Well…"
Unparalleled Plume looked awkward and at a loss.
Hey, this was too embarrassing!
"Xiao Yu, is that you?"
"That… misunderstanding. Hehe, it's a misunderstanding."
"Then you want 100,000 a month?"
"No, 60,000. No, 50,000! Just 50,000!"
"Alright, I'll transfer the money to you later."
Lin Bei said with a smile.
"… Okay."
Unparalleled Plume was depressed and handed the key and room card to Lin Bei.
After Lin Bei left, Unparalleled Plume heaved a sigh of relief.
Green Collar couldn't help but laugh. "Cousin, you're too cute!"
"Hey! You're asking for a beating!"
Unparalleled Plume blushed and pounced forward.
…
After taking the room card and key, Lin Bei called a truck and moved the things in his dormitory to the villa.
The environment of the Lihai Garden was pleasant. There was a huge artificial lake nearby. Green trees surrounded it, and the air was very fresh.
"Yes, not bad."
Lin Bei was very satisfied with this villa and wanted to buy it.
In any case, he did not lack money now. He was very satisfied with this place. When his sister recovered, he could bring his family over to live.
"I'll talk to her later and see if she can offer a friendly discount."
Lin Bei walked around the villa. There was a garage, a pool, a garden, and even an entertainment hall. He had to admit that Unparalleled Plume really knew how to enjoy herself.
"Not bad. There's a Level S game nutrition chamber that can be used by Little Sister. It saves my money."
In the entertainment hall, Lin Bei discovered a gaming pod. It was the highest-grade. If it was filled with nutrient solution, it could sustain the user for a week. It was not bad.
Lin Bei planned to buy one for himself later. This way, he would not have to go offline frequently to rest.
This was more efficient. To him, it was very worth it.
Suddenly, an urgent ringtone sounded. Lin Bei took a look and saw that it was an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Lin Bei, bad news. Your sister's Genetic Strengthening Potion has been intercepted!"
"What?!"
...
When Lin Bei heard this, his expression changed. He frowned and said, "What happened?"
"A traitor appeared in the transport team and stole the Genetic Strengthening Potion!"
Lin Bei said in a low voice, "What do you plan to do? I paid for it. Moreover, my sister's situation requires this potion urgently!"
"We know. Don't worry, we will definitely do our best to recover the potion! It's just that in terms of time, you'll have to wait for a day or two."
"Then what if you can't get the potion back?"
Lin Bei frowned. "Then my money was wasted?"
"No, Mr. Lin. This is caused by our negligence. If we can't recover the potion in the end, we will supply you with a brand new potion! So don't worry about your sister!"
The person on the other end of the phone explained, "I informed you because you have the right to know. Moreover, it might take some time to recover the potion and the treatment might be delayed for a few days. But don't worry, we have already mobilized the Special Operations Team. There will be a result soon!"
When Lin Bei heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Special Operations Team?"
"That's right. These are the elite troops of our Dragon Country. With them around, we will definitely be able to recover the potion! However, the operation over there still needs some time. Please forgive us!"
"Alright, I understand. Then tell me, where did you lose the potion? I have the right to know, right?"
...
"It's in the suburbs of Magic City. As for the specifics…"
"Alright, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Bei hung up and fell into deep thought.
The place where the potion was lost was not far from his current location. It was less than 20 kilometers away.
With his current speed, if he ran over, he would be there in ten minutes.
"If I can make a move before the Special Operations Team and find the Genetic Strengthening Potion, according to the person-in-charge who called previously, they would have to provide me with another bottle of Genetic Strengthening Potion. This way, I'll have two bottles of Genetic Strengthening Potion!"
Lin Bei was a little tempted.
One had to know that Genetic Strengthening Potions were very precious. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not have a chance to obtain them!
It was only because his sister's condition was special that he had this opportunity!
Now that the potion was lost, it was a chance for him!
A chance to obtain a Genetic Strengthening Potion!
Yes or no?
Lin Bei frowned and was conflicted.
This was his only chance.
If he missed this opportunity…
Lin Bei thought about it and gritted his teeth.
Let's do it!
No matter what, he had to go over and investigate the situation first!
If things could not be done, it would not be too late to retreat!
If there was a chance, why not take a bottle of Genetic Strengthening Potion for free?
After making the decision, Lin Bei quickly ran to the kitchen, put away the various knives, and put on a mask and a cap. He left the villa and ran towards the place where the potion was lost!
Fortunately, this place was relatively remote and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. Only then could Lin Bei run at full speed.
Otherwise, he could only give up on this operation.
Now, Lin Bei was running at full speed. His 100-meter coverage exceeded 4 seconds. He would be able to reach the scene in at most 10 minutes.
"I hope it's not too late!"
Lin Bei clenched his fists, looking forward to it.
He had already used the Divinity Fragment to strengthen his body. He really wanted to know what kind of changes would happen to his body if he continued to use the Genetic Strengthening Potion under such circumstances.
…
In an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of Magic City, more than ten burly men in combat uniforms stood together with vigilant expressions.
"Ninth Brother, you were hasty this time."
The bald man in the lead frowned.
"I had no choice. If this dragged on, I wouldn't have a chance."
In the team, a short-haired young man who was half a head shorter said in a low voice, "The organization is determined to get this bottle of Genetic Strengthening Potion. I was forced to do this!"
"But the Dragon Country's Special Operations Team will make a move soon!"
"It's fine. The higher-ups have already tried to delay them. We still have time!"
"Is that so? That's good!"
The bald man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He grinned and said, "In that case, we've completely obtained this bottle of potion! Well done. When we report it to the organization later, you will earn a lot of points!"
"Thank you, Boss!"
"It's a small matter! Next, let's move quickly and enter the underground base to prevent any accidents from happening and exposing our whereabouts!"
The bald man said in a deep voice, "We can leave after everything quites down."
Then, the group entered the depths of the warehouse and disappeared.
…
In the suburbs, near the location where the potion was stolen.
Lin Bei panted and stopped. He wiped his sweat and looked around. His enhanced five senses instantly captured a lot of information!
The air was filled with the faint smell of blood.
"Is this the place?"
88 Invisible Killing! Unexpected Harvest!
"It's that way."
After being strengthened, Lin Bei's senses were very sharp. He only stopped for a moment before confirming the direction of the smell of blood.
Without stopping, Lin Bei quickly walked through the forest. In just ten minutes, he arrived outside a huge abandoned warehouse.
"This should be it."
Lin Bei hid in the grass and looked at the abandoned warehouse in the distance with a frown. 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦
Next, he would sneak in and kill and rob!
He had no sympathy for these people who had stolen the Genetic Strengthening Potion!
Soon, he circled to the side of the warehouse and jumped hard. He jumped a few meters high and entered the warehouse through the ventilation duct at the top of the warehouse.
Now that he was focused with all his might, he could detect an area of about 40 meters without using his eyes.
This was all thanks to his Magic Strength and Agility attributes. Magic Strength allowed him to control magic waves and investigate his surroundings. On the other hand, Agility made him sense even more sharply. He gathered all the information he could detect from magic waves and gradually formed an image in his mind.
Soon, Lin Bei constructed a three-dimensional map of the entire warehouse in his mind.
"There's actually no one?"
Lin Bei frowned slightly. He clearly felt that this was the last area where the smell of blood lingered. How could there be no one?
"There are two possibilities. One, they had a vehicle and flew away."
"Second, they hid underground."
His strengthened brain quickly analyzed and came to two conclusions.
Lin Bei landed from the ventilation duct and controlled his Magic Strength to seep into the ground, probing bit by bit.
Although the warehouse was not small, if he searched with all his might, he would be able to detect everything within 40 meters underneath the warehouse in at most five minutes.
"If there's still no result, I can only leave."
Lin Bei frowned and thought to himself.
If this dragged on for too long, it would be difficult to deal with the situation when the Special Operations Team arrived.
Moreover, if they were not underground, those people might have escaped long ago. It was useless for him to continue staying.
Lin Bei focused and probed inch by inch.
Soon, he made a discovery.
"This place is empty! There seems to be a secret passage that extends underground, exceeding the limit of what I can detect!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he immediately moved. He found the secret passage hidden under an abandoned machine and entered directly. He followed the secret passage and rushed deep underground.
At the same time, he did not forget to release his magic power to investigate the situation below.
…
"Boss, is it safe for us to stay here?"
Two hundred meters underground, in a secret base, a blond, blue-eyed and freckled man was chowing down on a pork chop with oil dripping from his mouth.
"Of course it's safe! No one knows about this stronghold!"
When the bald man heard this, he smiled and said, "Moreover, our base is more than 200 meters underground. Even if someone finds the warehouse, it will be very difficult to find this place. Moreover, we have many traps along the way. If anyone comes, we can detect it in advance and escape through the secret passage!"
"Then we're relieved! We're not afraid of anything else, but against the Special Operations Team of the Dragon Country, even ten of us won't be enough for them to kill."
"Haha, don't worry. The Special Operations Team is delayed by missions! Even if they arrange for people to come over, there will at most be two or three people. Even if we can't beat them, we're not afraid of them if we stay in this place!"
The bald man laughed when he heard this. A hint of mockery flashed across his lips. "Of course, they have to find this place first and survive the traps in the passageway!"
"Boss, we've gotten a lot of good things during this period of time! Including this time, we got a total of three bottles of Genetic Strengthening Potions in the Dragon Country! Do you think we've made enough money?"
The white man with a freckled face asked with a smile.
"Of course, a bottle of Genetic Strengthening Potion is worth more than a billion in the international black market. We have three bottles. After this deal, we brothers can retire and enjoy ourselves!"
The bald man smiled and said, "Alright, the base is filled with equipment and supplies. It's more than enough for us to hide here for three months! Don't think too much about anything else. Just wait for the notice from the higher-ups. If you're bored, you can play games to pass the time."
"By the way, Boss, what do the higher-ups think of Second World?"
"I don't know the details, but they definitely take it very seriously! After all, it's a product of a high-level alien civilization ruin. It's definitely not simple!"
The bald man replied, "However, this is not something we should worry about. In the game, the organization has other arrangements. Our brother's mission is not in the game."
"Haha, I don't care. After this mission ends, I have to enter Second World and have fun. I have to say that it's really comfortable there. I heard that I can even seduce beautiful NPCs! Oh! I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Haha, you old pervert, you don't even let NPCs off!"
"Hahahaha… I was just thinking of excitement!"
In the underground base, more than ten people were laughing and hanging around happily.
…
In the underground passage, Lin Bei was very careful.
Along the way, he relied on his sharp senses and magic power fluctuations to avoid dozens of traps.
"Damn, these people are really careful. It's just a passageway, but they actually set up so many traps!"
Lin Bei's forehead was covered in sweat as he could not help but complain in his heart.
The traps in the passageway were too dense!
There was a huge trap every five steps, and a small trap every three steps. It was annoying!
Fortunately, Lin Bei had been strengthened by the Divinity Fragment and his perception was sharp. Otherwise, if it were him before the strengthening, he would have been shot into a sieve by the mechanism in the passageway!
...
"I'm finally at the end. These people are really carefree. They actually have the mood to chat and laugh!"
Lin Bei quickly sensed the dozen or so people in the underground base. He sneered, opened his backpack, and took out knives of various shapes.
There was no choice. There were only so many kitchen knives in the villa, but it should be more than enough to deal with the people in the underground base.
Lin Bei used his magic power to lock onto their locations. Then, his eyes narrowed as he controlled the seven flying daggers to instantly attack!
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
In the secret underground chamber, knife shadows scattered.
The dozen or so burly men were chatting with smiles when their vision suddenly blurred. Then, they felt a chill on their necks and lost consciousness.
In less than ten seconds, more than ten burly men died without exception!
Before they could even react, their lives were taken away by the flying daggers controlled by Lin Bei!
It was truly invisible killing!
These people died before they could even see Lin Bei!
...
"Hmph, worthless."
Lin Bei glanced at the dozen or so corpses on the ground and snorted. He walked to the corpse of the leader and bent down to search for a while before finding a metal box.
After opening it, Lin Bei was slightly stunned.
There were actually three bottles of Genetic Strengthening Potions?!
'What the hell?'
This was a huge gain!
It seemed that these people were repeat robbers!
Lin Bei hurriedly put away the metal box. He did not dare to stay any longer. He returned the way he came. After covering himself, he quickly left.
The scene of him killing the Boss in the Heavenly Might Server was still vivid in his mind. Back then, he was surrounded by people when he was just looking at the attributes of the equipment. As the saying goes, you learn from your mistakes. This time, he would not make the same mistake!
As for the knives he had brought, they could no longer be used. He ran in the opposite direction and buried the knives.
He ran all the way through the forest. After more than ten minutes, he finally snuck back to the Lihai Garden.
After taking a hot shower, Lin Bei's tense nerves relaxed.
He opened the metal box and looked at the three bottles of potions. Lin Bei carefully checked them and heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that the three bottles of potions were identical.
He was afraid that it was a trick. If there were one or two bottles of poison or something inside, he might die if he drank it rashly.
However, even though he detected that the three bottles of potions were identical, Lin Bei did not take the potions rashly.
"Let's wait a little longer! What if these three bottles are all fake? When the Genetic Strengthening Potion compensated for Little Sister arrives, I'll compare them. After confirming that there's no mistake, it won't be too late to consume them!"
Lin Bei thought to himself. He put away the potion and entered the gaming capsule. He logged into his gaming account and went online again, entering Second World.
Next, he had to farm some attribute points as soon as possible.
Apart from that, it was time to learn Level 30 exclusive skills. He did not lack the King's Insignia now, so learning skills was enough.
Moreover, it was time to prepare and enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm.
The current him should be able to deal with some of the ruins guardians!
"Next, I have to accumulate strength as soon as possible and become stronger quickly!"
Lin Bei said in a low voice.
He did not care if Apollo and the other top players could obtain the Divinity Dust. This had nothing to do with him!
What he needed to do was to become stronger!
As long as he was strong enough, he could leave the others far behind!
If others used one portion of Divinity Powder, he would use ten or a hundred portions!
As long as he could stay in the lead, he had nothing to fear!
"I have to hurry up. While no one knows this now, I have to kill as many ruins guardians as possible!"
Lin Bei had a feeling that not long after, the ruins would be occupied by the various large guilds. At that time, it would not be so easy to farm again.
"Fortunately, in the Heavenly Might Server, Azure Plume is now the dominant guild. The other guilds are nothing to be afraid of!"
Lin Bei's gaze darkened. "However, the abyss will descend. The server merger is a problem. I have to think of a way to resolve it as soon as possible!"
Soon, Lin Bei contacted Alina. Not long after, he arrived at the backyard of the Light Temple in Green Mountain City and entered Alina's room.
The scenery around him changed. When he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in an endless sea of flowers.
"You've already used the Divine Dust?"
Alina sized up Lin Bei, and a strange expression flashed across her eyes.
"Yes, Teacher."
"Very good, well done!"
Alina nodded and praised him. Then, she frowned slightly. "Why do you have an annoying smell on you? Have you… seen Bobo?"
"Huh?"
Lin Bei was stunned when he heard this. He could not hide it and nodded. "That's right. I met him previously and bought some items to increase my attributes."
As he spoke, Lin Bei told Alina everything.
Hearing this, Alina's expression softened a little and she calmly said, "Hmph, at least he knows what's good for him. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind chasing him for another year!"
Lin Bei: (||?Д?)
His teacher… was something.
She actually chased after Bobo for an entire year. She was a ruthless person!
"Kid, who are you calling ruthless?"
Suddenly, Lin Bei's heart turned cold. Alina was not smiling as she looked at him calmly.
"…"
Damn, how could I have forgotten about this!
Extraordinary lifeforms can sense my thoughts!
"Heh, look at you."
Alina suddenly smiled and patted Lin Bei's shoulder. "Remember, in the future, don't think randomly before an extraordinary lifeform. Otherwise, you will be seen through. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Lin Bei quickly responded and began to praise Alina in his heart.
Alina's mouth twitched as she coughed. "Um, you don't have to be like this. If you really want to praise me, you have to pay attention to your techniques! For example…"
As Lin Bei listened, his eyes lit up.
Damn, so that was the case. It seemed like he still had a lot to learn!
No wonder Master Jin wanted to kill him previously. It seemed that there was a lot of knowledge in this!
I've learned something!
Lin Bei was excited, as if he had obtained a treasure.
89 Exchange! Dangerous Blood Demon Mystic Realm!
"Okay, from what you said before, you got a batch of supplies, right?"
Alina asked.
"Well, yes."
Lin Bei nodded. "I have some equipment in my hands. Although they're only Level 30 to 40, their quality is Diamond and Obsidian. In addition, I have some universal skill books. Although there aren't too many, there are seven or eight. I wonder if Light Temple needs these?"
"Very good. The Light Temple really needs these resources now!"
Alina said, "Take them out first. I'll take a look." 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
When Lin Bei heard this, he obediently took out some Diamond and Obsidian equipment that he did not need from his backpack. At the same time, he also brought a few universal skill books.
Alina glanced at them and her eyes moved. A rare smile appeared on her lips. "Not bad. These equipment's attributes are not bad! If they are refined by me, their attributes will be even better. At that time, it will be enough for the Holy Temple army at the front line!"
"These universal skill books are not bad either. With these, the soldiers at the front line can have more strength to protect themselves."
Alina nodded in satisfaction and said to Lin Bei, "I'll take all these things. In exchange, I'll give you three portions of Divinity Dust. What do you think?"
"Three portions of Divinity Powder?"
Lin Bei was stunned and overjoyed.
This was good stuff!
Although a portion of Divinity Dust could only synchronize 1% of his basic attributes to reality, compared to the Diamond and Obsidian equipment he could easily obtain, it was simply a treasure!
He had the Mutated Blood skill and the King's Blood. As long as he wanted to, he could farm a batch of King-tier Mutated Bosses every day!
Coupled with his Buff of "Drop Quality +2", Obsidian-grade equipment could be farmed at will!
In comparison, the Divinity Dust that could only be obtained by challenging the Ruins Guardians was abnormally precious!
There was a limit to the number of ruins. If he cleared one, there would be one less. It was not like his mutated blood that could forcefully raise a wild monster to the king level!
"Alright! Deal!"
Lin Bei said with a smile.
"If you still have supplies, remember to trade with me directly. As for Bobo… Although he has many good things, he doesn't have many divine items."
Alina said, "That's the advantage of the Light Temple."
"Understood!"
"Alright, here are three portions of Divine Dust. Take them."
Alina waved her hand, and a wooden box appeared in front of Lin Bei. Lin Bei's breathing was heavy. He opened it and sure enough, there were three sets of red Divinity Powder inside.
Divinity Dust: After use, Divinity +1, 1% of basic attributes can be synchronized to reality. Time consumed: 1 hour.
"By the way, Teacher, I went to the Holy Light Village previously. Shopkeeper Jin from the grocery store asked me to give you a letter."
"Jin Dadou?"
Alina was puzzled. "Do you know each other?"
"Uh… Yes. Recently, he gave me a mission to collect the Blood Demon Aura. I wonder what Teacher thinks?"
When Lin Bei heard this, he couldn't help but wonder what this Jin guy's real name was! Why did Alina and Bobo call him Jin Dadou as long as he called himself Jin Dadao?
However, Lin Bei could not worry about this now. This was not something he should consider now. He had mentioned the deal with Shopkeeper Jin because he wanted Alina to advise him if there was any trap.
After all, from the looks of it, his mentor was still relatively reliable.
Yes, she is quite reliable!
And she is also beautiful!
She is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She is very good to me!
Lin Bei did not forget to praise Alina.
Alina frowned and looked at Lin Bei. She didn't blame him and said, "Jin Dadao wants to collect Blood Demon Aura? That's a good idea. It's been so many years. He probably can't wait anymore. Alright, just collect it without worry. However, it's still too early for you to go to the Blood Demon Mystic Realm. It won't be too late to go there when you have your own pet and your divinity exceeds 50."
"It's dangerous for you to go there now. If you're not careful, you might die."
"Die? It doesn't matter."
Lin Bei shrugged. He was a player and could be revived after death.
"Heh, it's not as simple as you think. Although you Descended Ones are protected by the world's will, this kind of protection is only limited to the Nine Bright Worlds. In the Dark World, if you die, you will really die!"
Alina said in a deep voice, "Of course, I'm talking about the Blood Demon World. Although the Blood Demon Mystic Realm you're going to isn't that dangerous, your losses are also huge if you die once. For example, if you die in the Blood Demon Mystic Realm, your divinity will decrease. At the same time, your main body will be affected and weaken! Once you keep dying in the Blood Demon Mystic Realm, your main body will keep weakening. It's normal for you to die in the end."
"So scary?"
When Lin Bei heard this, he could not remain calm.
Most importantly, he had to go to the Blood Demon Mystic Realm!
Putting everything else aside, he had to save Elena, right?
These were two Abyss-level missions!
If he failed, the punishment he received would not be light!
"Thus, before entering the Blood Demon Mystic Realm, you need to increase your strength as soon as possible. Previously, I received news from the Bloodshed Tavern that you have obtained the qualifications to enter the Tavern Mystic Realms. This is very good. For the current you, this is a rare opportunity!"
Alina said, "I suggest you learn the exclusive skills of the Level 30 War God profession from me first, then enter the Tavern Mystic Realms to increase your strength before entering the Blood Demon Mystic Realm. This way, it's safer."
"Thank you, Teacher. I understand."
Lin Bei said in a low voice.
It seemed that the Abyss-level missions were not simple.
...
"By the way, what are the Bright and Dark Worlds you mentioned just now?"
Lin Bei asked curiously.
"It's better if you don't ask these questions. It might not be a good thing for you to know too much now."
Alina shook her head and did not give an explanation. Instead, she continued, "However, there's one thing that's never wrong. You have to hurry up and increase your strength as soon as possible. The Abyss is about to descend. Only by becoming stronger can you survive the chaos that will descend in the future."
"Teacher, is that abyss the Dark World?"
"It's not."
Alina replied, "The Abyss is the passageway that connects the Bright and Dark Worlds. Alright, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. When your strength increases, I'll naturally tell you. Right now, you should quickly learn the Level 30 exclusive skills and enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm to cultivate."
"Uh… okay."
Lin Bei nodded helplessly.
In fact, he still wanted to ask more. Before he used the Divinity Fragment, he would not believe that death in the game would affect reality. However, it was different now. After all, the Divinity Fragment could allow him to obtain a portion of the power from the game in reality. In other words, why couldn't the game affect him instead and reduce his attributes in reality?
In the game, if one's attributes were negative, so be it. It was just that their account was useless.
...
But what about the real world?
What if his attributes became negative?
Would he die?
Lin Bei did not need to think to know that even if he did not die, he was definitely not far from death!
"This Blood Demon Mystic Realm is actually so terrifying? How terrifying is the Blood Demon Realm? Also, what are the Bright World and the Dark World? Damn!"
Lin Bei felt that his mind was in a mess.
Forget it, I don't care anymore!
He would know the exact situation when he entered the Blood Demon Mystic Realm!
If it really doesn't work, I'll slip away!
At most, he would fail the mission and lose some attribute points. He would be punished. That was better than dying!
Lin Bei thought about it and quickly adjusted his mentality.
"You adjusted quite quickly. I thought you would be conflicted for a long time."
Alina smiled and was very satisfied with Lin Bei's performance. She immediately took out three skill crystals and handed them to Lin Bei. "Give me three King's Insignias."
Without another word, Lin Bei handed Alina the three King's Insignias and put away the three skill crystals.
After taking a look, he was immediately stunned.
Lin Bei: ヾ(?°?°?)ノ?
"This… Are they the Level 30 exclusive skills? This is too awesome!"
Lin Bei was stunned and hurriedly used three skill crystals!
90 Level 30 Exclusive Skills!
Used Skill Crystals! You have obtained new exclusive skills!
Lin Bei looked at the skill interface. At this moment, he had three additional exclusive skills, all of which were extremely powerful!
Proficiency (Judgment): Lv.1. Can use equipment 10 levels higher than you and obtain an additional 20% equipment bonus.
Potential Burst (War): Lv.1. Unleash the target's potential, increasing all the target's attributes by 100% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds.
!
Holy Light Punishment (Holy Light): Lv.1. Deal 500% Judgment damage to the target. Cooldown: 5 seconds.
All three skills were practical skills!
There was no need to mention the Holy Light Punishment. At Level 1, it had the damage bonus of a Level 6 ordinary Discipline Spell after breaking the limit. Potential Burst was a good Buff skill that could increase his strength by a level. Coupled with the AoE spell effect of Spell Wave, this skill was ridiculously powerful!
Of course, the most important thing for Lin Bei at this moment was Proficiency of the Judgment Class. Level 1 could allow him to use equipment 10 levels higher than his own level! Moreover, he could obtain an additional percentage bonus. It was very awesome!
Originally, he could not use the Level 40 equipment he had previously obtained. However, not only could he use it now, but the bonus effect was even stronger!
A 20% bonus was equivalent to strengthening the equipment twice!
Moreover, he still had the King's Insignias in his hand that could directly upgrade his skill to Level 2!
"Use the King's Insignias!"
Without any hesitation, Lin Bei directly upgraded the three exclusive skills he had obtained at Level 30 to Level 3. Not only that, but he also used the remaining King's Insignias to strengthen the exclusive skills and talents at Level 20!
This way, all the King's Insignias he had obtained had been used up, but all his exclusive talents and skills had also been upgraded to Lv.2!
War Awakening (Professional Talent): Lv.2, for every 1,000 enemies defeated (≥ your level), you will obtain 2 basic free attribute points. For every 100,000 enemies killed (≥ your level), you will obtain 2 potential points. The leveling experience you need has increased by 10 times.
Body of Holy Light (Professional Talent): Lv.2, all Holy Light-type abilities increase by 200%.
Body of Judgment (Professional Talent): Lv.2, all attacks have an additional 200% Judgment damage.
War God Essence (War-type): Lv.2. Consume Soul Crystals to purify weapons or equipment, allowing them to obtain additional bonus effects. The purity effect is related to the skill level and the quality of the Soul Crystal. For every level increase, the purity effect increases by 100%.
War God Will (Judgment): Lv.2. For every enemy killed, you will obtain 1 Battle Will Point. Every Battle Will Point increases your attack and defense by 1%. Maximum Battle Will Points: 200. Duration of Battle Will Points: 60 seconds. For every level increase, the upper limit of Battle Will Points increases by 100 points.
War God Shield (Healing): Lv.2. After activation, it provides a War God Shield. The capacity of the shield is 10 times the upper limit of health (your own health, not the target health). During the effect of the shield, you will be immune to control effects. Duration: 60 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds. With every level increase, the capacity of the shield will increase by 100%.
Proficiency (Judgment): Lv.2. You can use equipment 20 levels higher than your own level and obtain an additional 40% equipment bonus.
Potential Burst (War): Lv.2. Unleash the target's potential, increasing all the target's attributes by 150% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds.
Holy Light Punishment (Holy Light): Lv.2. Deal 1,000% Judgment damage to the target. Cooldown: 4 seconds.
Note: All skill descriptions have not taken cooldown into account!
"Too strong! With these skills, I should be able to deal with an Emperor-tier Boss now!"
Lin Bei took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Not bad. I didn't expect you to collect so many King's Insignias in such a short period of time. Alright, with your current strength, it's just right for you to enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm."
Alina glanced at Lin Bei and nodded in satisfaction. "Go, I'll wait for your good news."
Swoosh!
Lin Bei was teleported out of the hut again.
Alina is very satisfied with you! Alina's Fondness has increased by 10 points! Current Fondness level: Average Acquaintance (30 points)!
"I didn't expect my Fondness to increase by 10 points again. However, my Fondness level seems to be the same as before. We're still just acquaintances. I wonder how the Fondness level will increase."
Lin Bei muttered.
He remembered that when the Fondness System was first activated, the System had said that every time the Fondness level increased, he could obtain a special reward.
It would have been fine if it was anyone else, but Alina was a Level 200 Extraordinary NPC!
As an average acquaintance, she had given him a powerful Combat Clone Talisman. If her Fondness leveled up again, what would she give him?
To be honest, it was impossible for him not to look forward to it.
From the moment Alina could easily take out the Divinity Dust, he had been wondering if she had any Divinity Fragments.
Or was there a divine item that was even higher than the Divinity Fragment?
If so, what were their functions?
Was it just a simple transformation of attributes into the real world?
Or… could it even transform skills and talents? 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝑜𝑟𝘨
Lin Bei's heart was filled with anticipation.
"If only I could increase her Fondness and have higher-grade divine items."
Lin Bei thought to himself.
Shaking his head, Lin Bei did not think too much about it. He left the Light Temple in Green Mountain City and walked towards the Bloodshed Tavern.
He had to enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm as soon as possible and challenge the Ruins Guardians to obtain more divine items to increase his strength.
In the small house in the backyard of the Light Temple, in the world of flowers, Alina smiled and muttered, "This kid is dreaming. How can it be so easy to obtain a high-grade divine item? Forget it, let's see his performance. If his strength increases after coming out of the Tavern's Mystic Realm, it's not impossible to give him a Divinity Crystal."
…
At the entrance of Green Mountain City's Bloodshed Tavern, Cao Fei Apollo looked tired, but he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
He had succeeded!
After staying up all night, he finally completed a B-rank bounty mission!
He defeated a Sector-Lord tier Boss!
That's right, Sector-Lord tier!
...
Although he died a few times during this period, he kept summarizing his experience. Coupled with the various items he bought, he finally killed that annoying Boss!
"This way, I can complete the professional trial mission and learn the Level 20 skill of the Bloodthirsty Berserker!"
Cao Fei Apollo said excitedly, "This is the exclusive skill of a Level-S hidden profession! When the time comes, my strength will definitely increase! Haha, entering the Heavenly Might Server this time was really the right choice! Not only did I obtain a Level-S talent, but I also unlocked a Level-S hidden profession! Soon, Azure Plume Guild will also be mine!"
"This time, my luck has really changed! All kinds of good things are swarming over! Awesome! Awesome!"
Cao Fei Apollo was secretly delighted.
Right now, it was only a matter of time for him to truly crush Apollo!
You have a Level S talent? I have one too!
You have a Level S hidden profession? So do I!
What you have, I have!
Moreover, my maneuvers are not inferior to yours at all. Can I continue to lose?
Just you wait, I'll f*ck you up sooner or later!
...
However, before that, it is about time to take revenge on that kid called Inner Peace.
Previously, my level was low and my equipment was poor. Now, I'm wearing a Gold Set. Coupled with my talent and profession, if I don't beat him up, I'll be letting myself down!
As he thought this, Cao Fei Apollo stepped into the tavern.
"Eh? Why does the back of the guy in front look a little familiar?"
As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar figure. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses!
Haha! The heavens are helping me!
It is actually Inner Peace!
That's great!
Initially, I was still thinking that it would not be easy for me to find you in Green Mountain City!
Now, you actually came knocking on my door!
In that case, I'm sorry!
I'll teach you a lesson in this duel!
"Hey, I want to duel with you!"
Cao Fei Apollo raised his hand and pointed at Lin Bei's back.
In front of the bar, Lin Bei, who was conversing with Tria, was suddenly stunned. He turned around and was amused.
Wasn't this that person?
It had only been two days since they last met, and he was already smug again?
91 I'm Doing This For Your Own Good. Don't Make the Wrong Decision
"What? You don't dare?!"
Cao Fei Apollo raised his chin and made a throat-slitting gesture with the golden sword in his hand. He provoked, "If you don't dare, I can let you off! I'm in a good mood today and I have just completed a B-rank bounty mission! However, it's only this time. The next time I see you, I'll definitely torture you!"
Lin Bei: (;?_?)…
"What are you looking at? Are you not convinced?"
!
Seeing Lin Bei's disdain, Cao Fei Apollo immediately said angrily, "I'm not afraid to tell you that I've already completed the advancement of the Level S hidden profession! When I learn my exclusive skill, you won't have any chance of winning!"
"Okay."
Lin Bei shrugged and felt that he should ignore this guy, who was too naive.
"Tria, I'll leave the Tavern's Mystic Realm to you."
"Alright, Prince Charming!"
Tria nodded and smiled. "By the way, that newcomer is Lord Monka's new disciple. Please don't take offense."
"Oh? Brother Monka's disciple?"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up.
"That's right. He has already completed the advancement of the Bloodthirsty Berserker. Previously, Lord Monka gave him a trial mission, which was to complete a B-rank bounty mission. Looking at his high-spirited appearance now, there's a high chance that he succeeded, right?"
Tria said, "But he's been provoking Prince Charming. Should we inform Lord Monka and ask him to personally come and deal with it?"
"That's good. I don't want to fight him."
Lin Bei smiled and nodded.
He did not want to attack. It was not that he was afraid of Cao Fei Apollo, but if he attacked, the other party would lose his attributes. This was a result he did not want to see. After all, that guy was one of his future main team members. If he was killed and crippled, it would be a joke.
When Tria received Lin Bei's reply, she immediately contacted Monka.
However, Cao Fei Apollo could not wait anymore. He leaned forward and continued to provoke him. "Kid, can you do it? If you're afraid, just say it. What do you mean by pretending to be mute now? Do you dare to fight me? Say something!"
"You…"
Lin Bei hesitated.
"What about me? I admit that your PK skills are very strong, but there's a limit to them! I've long figured out your previous positioning skills! If you're man enough, fight me again now!"
"Sigh, seriously. Alright, you got me. Let's spar."
Lin Bei sighed. Forget it, I'll torture him a little. Otherwise, he won't learn.
Cao Fei Apollo said arrogantly, "Come on, let's start the duel mode. Real men have to fight! The spar mode is only for children to play house!"
"…"
Lin Bei had a headache.
Damn it, I gave you a chance. Why did you have to court death?
Is a Level S hidden profession very awesome?
"Scared?"
Cao Fei Apollo was aggressive.
"You really think so?!"
Lin Bei couldn't take it anymore. It was fine if it was once or twice, but you've provoked me time and time again. If I don't attack you, will there be an explanation?
"I'm warning you one last time. Don't make the wrong decision."
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm not fighting you for your own good. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept the failure."
"Cut it out! Who doesn't know how to talk glibly? Let's fight as real men!"
"Alright, as you wish!"
When Lin Bei heard this, he said coldly, "Everyone else, disperse. This grandson won't learn his lesson unless he's beaten up!"
As he spoke, he started the duel. His target was Cao Fei Apollo!
Cao Fei Apollo received the duel notification and grinned.
It was impossible to say that he did not value Lin Bei. There was a reason why he chose to fight in the tavern.
He was now a member of the Bloodshed Tavern. If he was challenged in the tavern, he could obtain five times the attribute bonus!
He had provoked Lin Bei previously to deliberately anger the other party so that he could obtain an attribute bonus and fight him!
"This way, I'll have five times the attribute bonus! Coupled with the golden set, it'll be difficult for you to break through my defense!"
Cao Fei Apollo sneered in his heart. "But to me, that's different. Even if your attributes increase, I have the World Destruction talent bonus. My attacks ignore defense. You definitely won't be able to withstand it!"
He looked impulsive, but he was not stupid at all.
During the battle in the Holy Light Village, he had a deep understanding of how terrifying this man in front of him was.
Be it positioning or timing, the man was top-notch! 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭
Therefore, he had to be fully prepared!
Provoking him was just a step in the plan.
Now that his plan had succeeded and he had obtained the attribute bonus, as long as he followed the plan, the other party would definitely lose this round!
Haha! I'm really a f*cking genius!
"Everything is going according to my plan!"
"I have the advantage in this wave!"
...
Cao Fei Apollo grinned. The golden sword in his hand raised a whirlwind and swept towards Lin Bei!
"Too slow."
Lin Bei pursed his lips. The whirlwind attack released by this huge sword was useless in his eyes. Other than being awesome, it was simply a waste of time.
Right now, his attributes in reality had already been strengthened to an inhuman realm.
His extreme reaction time was 0.05 seconds. He was at least twice as fast as Cao Fei Apollo!
Almost instantly, Lin Bei took a step back and dodged the whirlwind sword energy. He raised his hand and punched Cao Fei Apollo on the bridge of his nose.
"Damn, what kind of reaction speed is this? Damn…"
Cao Fei Apollo was shocked by the elusive Lin Bei. Before he could react, he had been punched in the face and fell to the ground.
You're dead!
Your Constitution attribute -50! Please choose a resurrection point or wait for help.
"Damn, he killed me with a single punch? Damn it, even the Sector-Lord tier Boss I fought previously wasn't so terrifying! What's wrong with this kid? How long has it been and he's already so fierce? Is he still human?!"
...
"Also, what kind of immortal reaction speed was that just now? Damn, can the Backward Step be used like this?"
"Also, also, why did my attributes drop by 50 points?! Isn't death in a duel treated the same as a normal death in the wild? Logically speaking, I will only lose experience and not attributes, right?"
"And what's going on with these surrounding NPCs? They look like they're gloating. Don't they know that I'm Lord Monka's personal disciple? They actually dare to laugh at me? Damn!"
Cao Fei Apollo was dumbfounded. He felt like a clown, but he didn't know why he was one.
"What happened?"
At this moment, a burly man strode into the tavern. He looked at Cao Fei Apollo, who had fallen to the ground and could not get up. Then, he looked at the untainted and calm Lin Bei and could not help but give him a thumbs up. "Impressive! As expected of you!"
With that, he walked to Cao Fei Apollo's corpse and kicked him.
"Damn, are you so arrogant? I couldn't tell!"
Monka kicked out and followed up with another kick. As he kicked, he cursed, "This is my f*cking brother. According to seniority, you have to call him Uncle-Master, understand? Little brat, you're embarrassing me! I'll kill you… I'll beat you to death!"
Bang, bang, bang…
Cao Fei Apollo was beaten up like a sandbag. Only then did Monka feel relieved.
"Is there a Priest? Resurrect him."
"Coming!"
A young man in a blood-colored robe jogged forward and cast a revival spell on Cao Fei Apollo's corpse.
Holy light descended, and Cao Fei Apollo seemed to have been reborn.
However, his face was still swollen and he looked very miserable.
"Kid, it's just a B-rank mission, and you're already so arrogant? Come over, let me introduce you. This is Inner Peace, who is my brother and your uncle-master. He just completed 11 A-rank missions not long ago. As for B-rank missions, he accepted 36. Do you know the difference?"
Monka grabbed the back of Cao Fei Apollo's neck and pulled him in front of Lin Bei. He frowned and said, "Quick, apologize to your uncle-master!"
"I… I'm sorry, Uncle-Master!"
Cao Fei Apollo wanted to cry.
What the hell was going on!
Everyone had the same starting point, so how did he hook up with Monka?
Moreover, how did he become an uncle-master for no reason?
He even completed 11 A-rank bounty missions?
Was he still human?
An A-rank bounty mission was to kill a King-tier Boss!
Damn it!
I stayed up all night and racked my brains to kill a Sector-Lord Boss!
You're telling me that this person killed 11 King-tier monsters in a row?
Damn!
I should kill myself!
At this moment, Cao Fei Apollo had bitter expressions.
He could not help but recall what the other party had said to him before he attacked.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Don't make the wrong decision."
Previously, he was still thinking that this fellow was still pretentious before his death. How detestable!
But now, it seemed like the man was really thinking for him!
"Alright, it's normal to be young and impetuous. Be careful in the future and don't be rash."
Lin Bei smiled and patted Cao Fei Apollo's shoulder. He said earnestly, "I'm really doing this for your own good."
"…"
Cao Fei Apollo: ε(┬┬_┬┬)3!
"Alright, don't be sad. Come, I've brought you something good that has just been made. It's specially used to consolidate the foundation and nurture the essence! It's the Blood Strengthening Powder refined from 2,000-year-old Sunset Ores! Apply it on your body and it'll work immediately!"
Monka took out a medicine bag and threw it to Cao Fei Apollo. He said, "Speaking of which, these Sunset Ores were obtained by your Uncle-Master after completing the bounty mission! Otherwise, you wouldn't have had this chance! Hurry up and thank your Uncle-Master!"
"Thank you, Uncle-Master."
Cao Fei Apollo lowered his head and said.
He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter.
Damn, Uncle-Master my ass!
Ahhhh! I'm going crazy!
"Uh… well, you're really welcome."
Lin Bei's expression froze. He looked at the Blood Strengthening Powder and said unnaturally.
Cao Fei Apollo did not speak. Under Lin Bei's strange gaze, he smeared the yellow Blood Strengthening Powder on their bodies.
You have used Blood Strengthening Powder! Attributes have recovered! Constitution +50!
The medicine has stimulated a portion of your potential! Your attributes have increased!
Physical Strength +20!
Constitution +20!
Agility +20!
Magic Strength +20!
"Haha! Teacher Monka, do you still have Blood Strengthening Powder? Give me more!"
Hearing the system notification in his ear, Cao Fei Apollo was excited. His previous depression had long been swept away!
This Blood Strengthening Powder was too awesome!
After smearing it once, not only did he recover the attribute points that he had lost, but his other attributes had also increased by 20 points!
It was simply a divine medicine!
"What are you thinking about? It's not bad to have one portion! These things are all sent to the front line for the injured I happened to have a portion. You're lucky!"
Monka pursed his lips and frowned. "Alright, tell me, how is the effect?"
"The effect is too good!"
Cao Fei Apollo did not dare to hide it. He told Monka about the recovery and increase of his basic attributes.
"It's indeed not bad! As expected of a medicine refined from 2,000-year-old Sunset Ores! The effect is outstanding!"
When Monka heard this, he nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he looked at Lin Bei and thanked him. "It's all thanks to you this time. Many soldiers at the front line are safe!"
"You're welcome. I'm just doing whatever I can."
Lin Bei quickly waved his hand and said politely.
However, the effect of the Blood Strengthening Powder did make his eyes light up.
He did not expect this Blood Strengthening Powder to be so powerful!
What was going on with Jian Yi?
He was just a King-level Ruins Guardian. What he pooped was actually so awesome?
It shouldn't be, right?
There must be… something fishy going on!
Lin Bei thought about it and paid attention.
"By the way, didn't he give me a mission to collect good wine? I'll do it later and see if I can get some information from him!"
This matter was really strange.
He had to be more careful.
92 Sudden Mission! Champagne Opened!
"Cao Fei, don't just stand there. Follow me and I'll teach you some skills!"
Monka reached out and patted Cao Fei Apollo's shoulder. He nodded at Lin Bei and left the tavern.
Cao Fei Apollo came back to his senses and looked at Lin Bei. After a while, he said, "I won't admit defeat! One day, I will defeat you!"
"Work hard. I'll wait and see!"
!
Lin Bei smiled and waved his hand, ignoring him.
"Hmph."
Cao Fei Apollo snorted and turned to leave.
"The Backward Step can actually be used like this! I have to practice well! Next time, I will definitely win!"
…
"Tria, how long will it take to get ready?"
Lin Bei returned to the bar and asked.
"This… will take about half a day."
"Alright, that's good. I'll take the time to complete the B-rank missions in my hand."
Lin Bei nodded. He had already used the Obsidian equipment to exchange for Divinity Dust with Alina.
Level 2 Proficiency allowed him to use Level 50 equipment, so it was necessary to farm a batch of high-level equipment now.
The Mutated Blood had already cooled down. He now had 10 chances to transform Bosses. It was enough.
"By the way, Tria, issue a bounty mission for me."
"Tell me, Prince Charming."
"I want to collect 100 different types of wine. Help me publish it. The bounty level… Set it to Level S. Of course, it's fine if someone hands over one or two. You're more familiar with this than me."
Lin Bei said, "Just put the points on me. When I complete the 36 B-rank missions on hand, I'll definitely be able to pay these points."
"Alright, leave it to me!"
Tria nodded and looked at Lin Bei. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Lin Bei was about to leave, but seeing her hesitant expression, he could not help but stop and ask with a smile.
"Um… Prince Charming, I have something to ask of you."
"Alright, tell me."
"I'm originally from the Night Elves. Recently, my hometown has been invaded by a group of dark creatures. My brother is still there. If possible, I hope you can help me bring my brother over. Don't worry, I'll definitely reward you heavily!"
"Alright, just give me the map. As for rewards, forget it. I might have to trouble you with many things in the future."
"Thank you, Prince Charming!"
"Heh, I can't let you call me Prince Charming for nothing, right?"
Lin Bei smiled and took the map. Fortunately, the distance was not very far. He could cross it after seven or eight teleportations.
Tria's Fondness System has been activated!
Tria's Fondness has increased! Current Fondness: 20 (Average Acquaintance).
"Prince Charming, this is a storage ring. I obtained it by luck. It's more useful in your hand, so I'll give it to you! I hope you can bring my brother back successfully!"
Tria took out a diamond-studded ring and handed it to Lin Bei.
Lin Bei took the ring and his eyes lit up.
Not bad, there were actually 100 cubic meters in the storage space. It could store many things!
Most importantly, the storage ring was a bound item. Unless the binding was removed, it would not drop. In other words, precious items could be placed inside. This way, even if he unfortunately died, he would not drop important items.
"Thank you! Don't worry, I'll definitely bring your brother back safely!"
Lin Bei did not refuse. He put on his storage ring and left the Bloodshed Tavern.
Sudden Mission: Rescue Griffith
Mission Details: Go to the Night Elf Town, Moonlight Town, and rescue Tria's brother, Griffith.
Mission Difficulty: Hell Level
Mission Time Limit: 12 hours
Mission Reward: Tria's Fondness, Tria's Bento of Love.
"Tria's Bento of Love? What is it?"
Lin Bei was stunned. Unfortunately, the item's attributes were not displayed. Otherwise, he would still be very curious.
However, in Second World, there was a tacit rule. The weirder the name of the item, the more awesome its attributes were!
For example, the Twelve-Flavored Heavenly Blue Pill that he had bought from Bobo's Goblin Shop could increase all basic attributes by 100 points!
Another example was the Bobo Coins. It sounded strange, but in fact, its purchasing power was countless times stronger than gold coins!
"I keep feeling that this love bento is not simple."
Lin Bei was looking forward to it.
Opening the map that Tria had given him, Lin Bei finally arrived at Bright Moon City after a few teleportations.
This was a city built by the Night Elves. Just like Green Mountain City, it was also a Level 3 main city.
...
The Moonshine Town that Lin Bei was going to was a town affiliated with Bright Moon City.
After leaving Bright Moon City, Lin Bei immediately summoned his Ghost Warhorse and ran towards Moonshine Town at full speed.
…
"Haha! Hard work paid off. I finally killed this Boss! This way, I can obtain the Diamond Magic Sword!"
In the Divine Opening Server, in a huge ruin, Apollo dragged his tired body and sat on a stone step.
At this moment, he was more relaxed than ever.
Although the losses were not small, they were completely negligible compared to the gains!
"Hehe, young man, not bad. You actually passed the ruins challenge. Not bad!"
However, a laugh suddenly sounded, making Apollo, who had relaxed, instantly tense up. He flashed away from the stone steps and looked at the platform with a solemn expression.
At this moment, a figure slowly condensed and finally transformed into a very familiar person!
"Damn, revived?"
...
Apollo was dumbfounded. He had paid such a huge price to kill the Ruins Guardian, but it was actually revived under his nose?
How was this possible!
If he didn't die, what would happen to the Diamond Magic Sword?
What a scam!
Apollo opened the mission list and took a look.
As expected, the mission requirement was to kill the Ruins Guardian, but it showed that the mission was not completed!
Could it be that he had to kill him again?
Damn, was it that difficult?
However, could he really complete the mission by killing the target again?
Would he continue to revive?
Apollo was numb.
He had played games for so long, but he had never seen such a tricky mission!
"Young man, you have completed the ruins challenge mission. Next, you can choose one of the rewards below!"
The Ruins Guardian laughed and waved his hand. A light screen appeared in front of Apollo. This was a list of rewards. There were more than a hundred reward items displayed.
At a glance, there was a dazzling array of items.
"Diamond-grade magic sword! There's actually a Diamond-grade magic sword! Haha! What a twist!"
Apollo's eyes lit up and he immediately chose the Diamond Magic Sword!
He had prepared for so long for this thing!
Now that it was right in front of him, how could he not know what to choose?
It had to be the Diamond Magic Sword!
Moreover, it was a Level 80 Diamond Magic Sword with a +5 enhancement!
Such a reward far exceeded his expectations!
As for the other Diamond equipment and items, he did not even look at them. Right now, he only lacked such a Diamond Magic Sword to increase his strength. As for the other equipment, they were far less important than the Magic Sword!
As for the items in the corners, they were all single-use items. They were not very useful to him!
His goal was to lead the team to continue winning the WWL league!
As for the one-time use items, no matter how awesome they were, could they be more beneficial to the team than a +5 Diamond Magic Sword?
Impossible!
"Haha, this time, my strength can continue to increase!"
Apollo received the diamond sword and immediately equipped it. He was in high spirits and extremely excited.
"I heard that the club helped me buy a bottle of Genetic Strengthening Potion from the Jia Mei Empire's Research Institute! At that time, my strength will even be better! This time, the championship is definitely guaranteed!"
Apollo was in a very good mood.
He wanted to tell this good news to his teammates and make everyone happy!
"Hahahaha! Awesome!"
Apollo threw his head back and laughed. He logged off on the spot.
The Ruins Guardian was also stunned.
What the hell?
This kid didn't play by the rules?
He actually did not choose the Divinity Dust?
Damn, what is going on?
It is just a +5 Level 80 trash Magic Sword. Is it that important?
I'm speechless. I originally thought that a challenger with both strength and talent had arrived. Now, it seems that I was thinking too much.
There is definitely something wrong with this kid's brain!
Forget it, forget it. Let's wait for the next challenger.
This is too f*cking boring!
I heard that Jian Yi had a challenger too. I should ask him about it later.
Helplessness was written all over the Ruins Guardian's face before he finally disappeared from the platform.
…
In the real world, in the Jia Mei Empire, in the Divine Descent Club.
The group was extremely excited. They opened the champagne and celebrated their harvest.
93 Beat Up the Little Kid! Fondness Leveling Up!
Moonshine Town was enveloped by a black fog.
It was originally daytime, but the entire Moonshine Town seemed to have fallen into darkness.
Lin Bei directly stepped forward and used the Spell Wave combined with the Disperse Spell to dispel the black fog.
"Who's there?"
Suddenly, an angry shout came from the night sky.
Immediately after, a bull-horned man with huge bat wings appeared in the sky in front of Lin Bei. He looked down and a cold glint appeared in his pitch-black pupils. "The Night Demon Clan is doing business. Leave quickly!"
"Night Demon Clan?"
Lin Bei frowned slightly. From the name, it should be not much different from the Blood Demon, right?
Shouldn't they be in a place like the Night Demon Realm?
Could it be that a special situation like what Shopkeeper Jin had said had happened? Were the two worlds close?
But it didn't look like it.
If that was the case, Moonshine Town would have been destroyed long ago. However, Lin Bei looked around and seemed to only see this Night Demon in front of him.
"Hey, how did you appear in this world?"
Lin Bei asked curiously.
"You want to know? Hehe, I'm not telling you!"
The Night Demon sneered and said calmly, "Mama said that you humans are cunning and I can't talk to you much! Retreat quickly, or don't blame me for beating you up!"
"…"
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He asked softly, "How big are you?"
"Hmph, definitely bigger than you! 50 centimeters. Are you afraid?"
Night Demon snorted and looked smug.
"Damn, who asked you that! I asked you how old you are?"
"I'm five!"
The Night Demon said calmly, "I'm warning you. Don't think that you can plot against me just because I'm young. According to the division of strength in your human world, although I'm only five years old, I already have the power of a King! I see that your aura is weak and killing you is useless, so you should get lost."
"Damn, he's only five years old?"
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth twitched. This guy… was young and promising.
However, on second thought, it made sense. This Night Demon was so innocent and did not look like an adult. However, his physique was not small. He was only five years old, but he was already more than three meters tall.
As for strength?
King-tier… was it very powerful?
However, Lin Bei was still very curious about how the other party "snuck" into Heavenly Might World.
"Should I bully him? Then take him in as my lackey? Like the Headless Horseman Ektor from before?"
Lin Bei had an idea.
"Let's give it a try."
"If possible, I'll sign a spirit contract and make him submit to me."
If he did not agree, he would kill him. There was no loss.
"Holy Light Punishment!"
Lin Bei did not care about morals and directly launched a sneak attack. He did not care that the other party was a five-year-old child.
How dare you not be on guard in front of a powerful enemy? Is this what your mother taught you?
Level 2 Holy Light Punishment had a 10x Magic Damage bonus. Moreover, with the reduced cooldown, the cooldown time was only 0.4 seconds. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Lin Bei had taken away 10% of the Night Demon kid's Health Points!
"You… you ambushed me! You don't care about morals!"
"Screw you! Die!"
Lin Bei ignored him. He used Discipline Spell and Holy Light Punishment alternately. In a second, he could cast nearly five Discipline Spells, beating the Night Demon Kid until he could not find his bearings!
"How dare a small Night Demon come to the Heavenly Might World? I'll beat you to death!"
"Who asked you to show off!"
"You think you're so big?!"
"Who asked you to provoke me!"
"I'll beat you to death!"
As Lin Bei used Discipline Spell to suppress Night Demon's health, he raised his fist and attacked his face crazily!
"Wah—! Boohoo, stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
"Mama! I want to go home!"
"Uncle, I was wrong! I won't do it again! Don't hit me anymore!"
"Boohoo, it hurts!"
The Night Demon flapped his wings and fled, but Lin Bei was not to be trifled with. Now, he flew ridiculously fast. He caught up to the other party and kicked him to the ground of Moonshine Town, beating him up.
Lin Bei asked, "Do you know you were wrong?"
Night Demon: "Wrong! I was wrong! Uncle, don't hit me!"
...
Lin Bei's face darkened. "Who the hell is an uncle? Am I that old?"
Night Demon wailed in pain, "Ah—! Big Brother, don't hit me! Big Brother, I was wrong! If you continue to hit me, I'll be beaten to death!"
Lin Bei: "Then let me ask you, how did you 'sneak' over?"
Night Demon: "I was playing outside with Xiaomei when I suddenly saw a spatial crack. I crawled in and ended up here."
Lin Bei asked, "Who's Xiaomei? Where is she?"
Night Demon: "She's my first love, but when we passed through the crack, the spatial turbulence was too big. She was blown away and might have gone to other places in the Ming World."
Lin Bei said, "Damn it, you brat, how could you fall in love at such a young age? Is five years old the age to fall in love? I'll beat you to death!"
Night Demon wailed, "Ahhh, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again! Big Brother, spare me!"
Lin Bei snorted and did not hit him anymore. Instead, he asked, "Then let me ask you, why did you cover Moonshine Town with black fog?"
When the Night Demon heard this, he shrunk his head and said aggrievedly, "I just want to play hide-and-seek with them! Moreover, I'm not familiar with this place. I should make my own territory and gather some people to help me find Xiaomei."
"You didn't kill anyone?"
...
"No."
"Then why were you so arrogant just now?"
"Uh… Dad said that when you're outside, your aura and face are very important!"
"What about now? After being beaten up by me, does your face not matter anymore?"
"Dad also said that a wise man submits to circumstances."
Night Demon replied honestly.
Lin Bei was speechless.
I'm f*cking convinced!
What kind of people were this family?
Especially his father. Should he teach these to children?
No wonder the kid was so mature. He was only five years old, but he already found a girlfriend!
"Who are your mom and dad?"
"My dad is very powerful! He's one of the eight kings of the Night Demon Clan! My mom is also very powerful, even more powerful than Dad!"
Night Demon said proudly.
"Alright, let me ask you again. Do you want to live?"
"Of course I do! And I didn't kill anyone. According to you humans, I'm a good citizen!"
"Good citizen?!"
"My grandfather is also one of the Eight Kings. He's also very powerful!"
"I—"
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth twitched. There was something wrong with this kid's brain!
Forget it, that was just a child. He would not lower himself to his level!
"Kid, do you know about the Spirit Contract?"
"I know! Mom and Dad's subordinates will sign this!"
"That's easy. Sign a Spirit Contract with me and swear to submit to me forever. I can spare your life!"
"Ah? This…"
"If you don't agree, die immediately!"
"Alright, I'll agree, alright? Boohoo…"
"Don't cry! I'll kill you if you cry!"
"…"
Night Demon's body trembled when he heard this and he did not dare to make a sound. However, his body was still twitching non-stop. It seemed that he was quite frightened.
Soon, Lin Bei signed a Spirit Contract with the other party and learned some information about him.
The Night Demon kid's name was Badis, and he was the little prince of the Night Demon Royal Family.
His father, Harvey, and his mother, Rebecca, were both experts of the Night Demon Clan.
"Badis, it's a little inconvenient for you to look like this. Let me change your appearance."
As Lin Bei spoke, he used the Transformation Spell to turn Badis into a Night Elf child. "Alright, this is much better."
Lin Bei looked at the one-meter-tall Night Elf child and nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's go meet the people in town."
Lin Bei brought Badis into Moonshine Town. As soon as he entered, Lin Bei was immediately surrounded by a group of people.
"Thank you, sir, for saving our town! I can't repay your kindness!"
"Sir! I'm Casca, a pharmacist. If you need me in the future, I can help you refine potions!"
"My name is Iron Thunder, and I'm an Elven Blacksmith. If you need me, I can smith equipment for you!"
"My name is Breno! I'm good at—"
The townspeople were extremely excited and thanked the hero, Lin Bei, who had saved the entire town.
"Uh… so grateful? However, most of these people are lifestyle professions. Moreover, as Night Elves, if they go to Dark Moon Valley, it should be very suitable. Why don't…"
Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat and he told them his thoughts.
"Alright! We're willing to follow you, Sir!"
The group of people spoke in unison.
"Alright, I'll bring you there later."
Lin Bei smiled and said, "Prepare your luggage in the next few days. By the way, who's called Griffith here?"
"…It's me, Big Brother. My name is Griffith."
A shy boy with blond hair walked out of the crowd and said shyly.
"Alright, come with me. Your sister asked me to pick you up."
"Sister Tria? Really? Is she all right?"
The blond boy's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at Lin Bei with anticipation.
"She's fine! Let's go. She misses you very much now."
Lin Bei touched his head and turned to look at Badis. He instructed, "For the time being, you'll protect Moonshine Town for me. I'm warning you not to have any bad thoughts. Otherwise, with just a thought, the power of the Spirit Contract will turn you into ashes. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Big Brother! I'm not that kind of person! Moreover, our Night Demon only likes the dark night. We're not as competitive as other demons!"
Badis looked helpless. Sigh, what a failed demon. I'm only five years old.
"You'd better be!"
Lin Bei replied calmly and left with Griffith.
Soon, the two returned to the Bloodshed Tavern.
"Sister Tria!"
As soon as he entered the tavern, Griffith sprinted to the bar.
"Griffith!"
Tria was equally excited. She left the bar and hugged Griffith. "You're fine. That's great!"
"Of course I'm fine! It's all thanks to Big Brother that everyone in our town is alive and well!"
Griffith pointed at Lin Bei, who was smiling.
"Thank you, Prince Charming!"
Tria's face was filled with gratitude. "This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it!"
Mission completed! Obtained Tria's Love Bento! Tria's Fondness +20! Fondness level increased! Current Fondness: 40 (Friend)!
Affinity level increased! You have obtained Tria's Special Love Bento!
Friend!
Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat. Her Fondness had actually increased!
Right, let's take a look at the attributes of the reward!
Lin Bei came back to his senses and looked at the two bento boxes in his inventory.
"This… you call this a bento? F*ck, this attribute increase is even more ferocious than the Twelve-Flavored Heavenly Blue Pill!"
Lin Bei was completely dumbfounded. He had thought that the attributes of this bento would be good, but he did not expect the attributes of this love bento to be so ridiculous!
He had made a killing!
Lin Bei only had one thought in his heart.
"Fondness System… It's really a divine-level system!"
Lin Bei was filled with emotions.
94 Tria's Love Bento!
There were a total of two bentos, one of which was a special bento obtained from leveling up Fondness. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭
However, the bonus attributes of either bento were very powerful!
Especially the special bento!
Tria's Bento of Love: After using it, all basic attributes will permanently increase by 100 points, Luck +1, Charm +1.
Tria's Special Love Bento: After using it, all basic attributes will permanently increase by 200 points, Luck +3, Charm +3.
"Thank you!"
Lin Bei thanked her and used the two bentos.
The four basic attributes instantly increased by 300 points! Moreover, the fixed attributes of Luck and Charm had also increased by 4 points!
Now, Lin Bei's Luck and Charm had both exceeded 10 points, reaching 11 points!
"It's a pity that the attribute points obtained from using the items won't be enhanced by Alina's Blessing. Otherwise, with the double attribute bonus, these two bentos would have brought me an even greater improvement!"
Lin Bei sighed in his heart. However, even so, Tria's two bento boxes were quite awesome!
"I should be the one thanking you! Not only did you save your brother, but you also saved the entire Moonshine Town!"
"It's nothing."
Lin Bei said politely and asked, "By the way, I plan to build my own territory in the future. When the time comes, I want to open a Bloodshed Tavern in my territory. Are you willing to help? Don't worry, the treatment won't be worse than here."
"Of course!"
Tria was delighted. "Where's your territory? I'll go over now!"
"Uh… there's no hurry. I have to go to the Tavern's Mystic Realm first. After I return, I'll go back and establish my territory. I'll contact you when the time comes."
"Alright, Prince Charming!"
"Then let's put it this way. You accompany your brother first. I'm going to do the missions."
Lin Bei left the Bloodshed Tavern and entered mission mode. He began to sweep through the remaining B-rank bounty missions.
The goal of a B-rank mission was only a Sector-Lord Boss with a maximum Health Points of a few million. To the current Lin Bei, he was not afraid at all!
Under the bombardment of spells, it would be resolved in a few seconds.
Therefore, other than spending most of his time traveling, Lin Bei was very efficient.
Of course, during this period, Lin Bei did not forget to use the Mutated Blood to forcefully upgrade 10 Bosses to the King-tier. He obtained 40 Obsidian-grade equipment, 10 Limit Breaking Crystals, and a few Stone Daggers and Strengthening Tokens from them.
In addition, there were three Instance Dungeon Crystals and a large batch of Diamond equipment.
There were ten universal skill books from each hunt.
He did not obtain a skill book to increase vigor this time. However, Lin Bei felt that one of the skill books was very useful to him, so he directly learned it and broke the limit to Level 6!
Killing Intent Clone: Lv.6 (Limit Breaking). After killing the target, summon a Killing Intent Clone that has 100% of the main body's attributes. You can add equipment, but you can't use talents or skills. Each Clone lasts for 60 seconds. Maximum number of Killing Intent Clones: 10.
"Although my clones don't have the talent and skills of the main body, it's already not bad to have 100% of the main body's attributes. The key is that I can add equipment. This way, I can completely put my extra equipment on my clones and greatly increase their strength!"
However, what was a little uncomfortable was that because the clones did not have the main body's skills, they did not have the skill bonus of Proficiency. Therefore, they could only use Level 30 equipment at most now, unlike the main body, who could already use Level 50 equipment.
Fortunately, there were a few Level 30 targets in the B-rank bounty missions this time, allowing Lin Bei to obtain seven to eight Level 30 Obsidian equipment. However, it was still impossible to fill all ten clones with Obsidian equipment.
"However, the Unlimited Buff talent can actually make the duration of the clones permanent. As expected of an SSS-level talent. It's awesome!"
Lin Bei thought to himself.
This way, the Killing Intent Clone was no different from a divine-level skill to him!
Lin Bei casually killed ten wild monsters and condensed ten Killing Intent Clones. Then, he used the Transformation Spell to turn them into a string of beads and put them on his wrist. Even if these clones could not fight, they could be used as substitutes to help him block a fatal attack at the critical moment.
In short, it was still very useful.
This was also thanks to the Transformation Spell breaking through the limit. Otherwise, this skill could only change his appearance. It was far from being as abnormal as after breaking the limit!
"Sigh, it's a pity that I don't have enough Proof of Strength. Otherwise, I could break through the limit of the exclusive skills of the War God profession. These exclusive skills are already abnormal. After breaking through the limit, they will definitely be ridiculously powerful!"
Lin Bei sighed in his heart. There was no choice. The leveling up of the exclusive skills of the War God required proof of strength. Moreover, the higher the level, the higher the level of the proof of strength. If Lin Bei wanted to continue leveling up his exclusive skills, he could only obtain the proof of strength through the first kill of the Emperor-tier Bosses.
"However, with my current reaction speed, I should be able to touch an Emperor-tier Boss."
Lin Bei said in a low voice, "After we enter the Tavern's Mystic Realm, I'll find an opportunity to see if I can kill an Emperor-tier Boss!"
Killing an Emperor-tier Boss was very meaningful to the current Lin Bei.
Firstly, he could obtain Extraordinary-grade equipment and the Emperor's Insignia to increase his strength!
Secondly, he would obtain the Emperor's Blood. Under recycling, he could farm Emperor-level Mutated Bosses infinitely!
Finally, he might obtain a Divinity item of a higher level than Divinity Dust!
"King-level Guardians can produce Divinity Dust, but what about Emperor-level? Can they produce Divinity Fragments?"
Lin Bei thought to himself and was a little excited.
There were many ruins in the tavern's mystic realm.
After one round, he would definitely gain a lot!
He just didn't know how long he could stay inside.
The Tavern's Mystic Realm was not completely open yet, so there should be a time limit.
"I hope I can stay inside for a longer time. This way, I can farm more divine items."
Lin Bei prayed in his heart.
…
...
Soon, Lin Bei completed all the B-rank bounty missions and returned to the Bloodshed Tavern.
There were still three hours before the Tavern's Mystic Realm opened.
"I still have 3 portions of Divinity Dust on hand. The time is just right!"
As he was about to enter the tavern's mystic realm, in order to increase his farming efficiency, Lin Bei finally decided to use all three portions of Divinity Powder that Alina had given him to increase his strength as much as possible!
The completion rating of the 36 B-rank bounty missions was very high. Among them, a few King-tier Mutated Bosses had even raised his mission rating to A-rank. Therefore, in this wave, he obtained more points than he had obtained from completing the 11 A-rank bounty missions previously!
"A total of 350,000 points. What do you plan to do with them?"
"Hmm… Take out 130,000 points and use them as my wine hunting reward. I'll give you 20,000 points. Help me keep an eye on the missions. If there are S-rank missions, remember to help me accept them. As for the remaining 200,000 points, give them to me. I'll go to the Points Mall to exchange for something."
Soon, Lin Bei finished distributing.
He bought some items that could permanently increase his attributes. Although the increase was not big, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Before entering the tavern's mystic realm, every point he could increase counted.
After spending 200,000 points, Lin Bei's attributes increased again.
"We can continue synchronizing."
...
Lin Bei used three portions of Divinity Dust at once and went offline to sleep.
Three hours passed quickly.
Lin Bei slowly woke up. This time, he realized that he was different from the first time he synchronized his attributes!
95 Reality Attribute Surpassing 100! Terrifying Improvement!
"This feeling… is unbelievable!"
Lin Bei muttered. Compared to before, his perception of magic power was clearer!
He even felt a magical energy from the surrounding space.
Some of these energies were as hot as flames, some were as cold as ice, and some were as sharp as blades…
"Could this be… an existence similar to elements mentioned in those novels?"
Lin Bei was in a daze and thought to himself.
He tried to control the magic power to control these elements.
The bone-chilling elemental power was constantly mobilized by his magic power and gathered together.
Soon, a palm-sized icicle appeared in front of Lin Bei. 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"It really works!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up. With a thought, the icicle dissipated. Soon, a fist-sized fireball appeared. After a while, a sharp blade appeared after the fireball dispersed!
At this moment, Lin Bei was extremely excited.
I can actually… control elemental power?
Opening his attribute panel, Lin Bei looked at it.
Name: Lin Bei
Profession: None
Constitution: 80.5 (33↑)
Physical Strength: 45.5 (21↑)
Magic Strength: 153.5 (57 ↑)
Agility: 84 (36↑)
Divinity: 8 (3↑)
Compared to before, every attribute had increased by a level!
However, if there was anything different from before, it was that his Magic Strength attribute had exceeded 100 points!
"Could it be that after every attribute breaks through 100 points in reality, similar changes will happen?"
Lin Bei pondered and said, "My Magic Strength has exceeded 100 points. I can feel the power of the elements now. What about the other attributes? What changes will there be?"
Lin Bei could not help but think of the settings related to the attribute breakthrough in Second World. Could this be the attribute breakthrough in the real world?
He carefully sensed the changes in his body and realized that other than Magic Strength, his attributes did not seem to have undergone a qualitative change.
However, the increase in attributes was not useless to him.
Compared to the last time when his attributes were synchronized, his strength, defense, endurance, speed, and reaction speed were better!
Moreover, the range of his Magic Strength detection had also expanded from 40 meters to nearly a hundred meters!
He sensed carefully and found that it was about 84 meters!
It was the same as the Agility attribute points!
"It seems that the use of each attribute is not clearly set like in the game world. In the real world, the use of each attribute is relatively vague and has an effect on each other! Previously, I thought that magic power detection depended on the Magic Strength attribute. Now, it seems to be quite related to the agility attribute!"
Lin Bei's expression was solemn.
Now, he could almost confirm that Magic Power Detection was an ability produced by combining the Magic Power attribute with the Agility attribute.
The existence of Magic Strength allowed him to use magic power to investigate, but the existence of Agility allowed him to expand the range of his detection and increase the accuracy!
"Looks like I was right at the beginning! In the real world, every attribute is crucial! Focusing on a single attribute has huge drawbacks!"
Lin Bei was a little excited. Reality proved that his choice was right!
"As long as I'm familiar with the use of Magic Strength and combine it with magic power detection, I can really kill people invisibly from a hundred meters away! Moreover, I don't have to prepare knives like before!"
Lin Bei thought to himself, "Moreover, using the fire element can destroy the evidence! I have to say that after my Magic Strength exceeded 100 points, I am more than a little stronger than before!"
He tried to spread out his consciousness and probe the surrounding area through magic fluctuations.
Soon, he locked onto a fly outside the window!
With a thought, a wave of magic power entered the fly's body and exploded under his control.
Pa!
With a crisp sound, the fly exploded and died.
"The current me can actually control magic power to enter the target's body!"
Lin Bei was stunned and in disbelief.
He had tried this after the attribute synchronization last time, but he could not do it.
After all the magic power encountered a living being, it would disperse on its own and not enter the target's body under his control!
"Could it be… that this is also the effect after my Magic Strength attribute breaks through 100 points?"
Lin Bei thought about it and left the villa. He entered the forest and probed the ground with his magic power. Soon, he found a rat. He did the same and used his magic power to enter the rat's body.
It worked!
Then, he found a snake. It was also possible!
However, when he used his magic power on a passerby not far away, he encountered difficulties.
...
The speed at which the magic power invaded was more than ten times slower!
Moreover, the invading magic power was very limited. At most, it could make the target feel slightly uncomfortable. It could not cause destructive damage.
"Looks like Magic Power Invasion can only be done with crushing attributes!"
Soon, Lin Bei retracted his magic power and concluded in his heart.
There was no need to mention the attributes of the fly. With a thought, it exploded.
The rats were stronger, but there was a limit to how strong they were. Snakes were much stronger than rats, but compared to Lin Bei, they were still so weak that they could be ignored.
However, if he encountered people, his magic power invasion would be greatly weakened.
It could be seen that his attributes were no longer as overwhelming as when he faced the previous animals.
"Forget it. If I continue testing like this, someone will die. When my attributes increase in the future, these problems will naturally be resolved. As for which attribute can instantly let the magic power invade, this is not something I should consider now. Anyway, when my attributes increase completely, I can naturally do this easily!"
Lin Bei thought to himself and stopped thinking about finding someone to test the magic power invasion.
He was not a demon, and he did not want to accidentally injure someone in order to test the magic invasion.
...
Moreover, if he did this, he might expose himself. The gains would not make up for the losses.
The genetic potion had just been stolen, and the Dragon Country's special operations team should have already been mobilized. If he caused any commotion now, the other party would definitely track him down. At that time, it would be troublesome.
"Forget it, just focus on increasing my attributes."
Lin Bei returned to the villa and went online again.
It was already the agreed time. Next, he had to enter the tavern's mystic realm, obtain divine items, and continue to increase his strength.
…
At this moment, five people were gathered outside an abandoned warehouse more than 20 kilometers away from Lin Bei's villa.
Among the five of them, there were three men and two women. All of them were dressed in tight clothes and had solemn expressions.
"It should be here. Everyone, be careful later."
"Good!"
"Move out!"
The five of them instantly dispersed. Their speed was so fast that they could be compared to Lin Bei after his attributes synchronized last time!
A few minutes later, the five of them gathered together again.
"Nothing."
"Same here."
"Me too."
Everyone frowned slightly and looked a little embarrassed.
"That's not right. They must be nearby. Since they're no longer in the warehouse, they might be hiding underground! Let's continue to expand the search area! In addition, find the team leader and borrow a police dog that has taken the Genetic Strengthening Potion! We can't find them, but maybe the dog can!"
The captain of the team instructed and parted with everyone to continue searching.
…
Just as the members of the special operations team were searching for the stolen genetic potion, Lin Bei had already arrived at a secret room in the Bloodshed Tavern. Monka and the others stood around him. Their expressions were solemn as they activated a teleportation array.
"This is the teleportation array that leads to the tavern's mystic realm. Remember, the array can only last for a day at most. Once this time is exceeded, the energy will dissipate. At that time, the teleportation array will fail and you won't be able to come back!"
Monka said in a deep voice, "So, you have to watch the time and teleport back before the teleportation array fails."
"Alright, I understand."
Lin Bei nodded and stepped into the teleportation array to leave.
"It's a pity that the teleportation array can only last for 24 hours. Otherwise, I could farm for a while longer. However, since time is limited, I have to hurry up. I'll farm as much as I can!"
The world spun. Lin Bei felt a force wrap around him and shuttle through space.
The surrounding whistling continued for 30 seconds before Lin Bei's body lightened and he appeared in a gray world.
You have discovered the Tavern's Mystic Realm (Lv.80~Lv.100)!
A System notification sounded in his ear.
Lin Bei opened his eyes and smiled.
"I'm finally here!"
96 Farming Ruins! Gaining Dust!
"I hope 24 hours is enough!"
As soon as he entered the Tavern's Mystic Realm, Lin Bei immediately summoned his Ghost Warhorse and ran towards the nearest ruin.
After all, this was a public leveling map after the server combination in his previous life. Lin Bei was very familiar with this place.
Even without a map, he was familiar with the place. After a simple direction identification, he found the first ruin!
!
Batha Dynasty Ruins (Lv.80, 2000 years old)
A 2,000-year-old ruin!
In other words, the Guardian here should also be a 2,000-year-old undead body. In that case, he would at least have a portion of Divinity Dust!
Without a word, Lin Bei rushed into the ruins!
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you barge into the ruins of the Batha Dynasty! Die!"
Suddenly, an angry shout came from the center of the ruins. Immediately after, a strange creature with four arms that looked like a mantis appeared. Four huge sickles cut through the air and emitted saber auras that approached Lin Bei!
"Petty tricks!"
Lin Bei sneered and dodged them all!
After the second enhancement, his extreme reaction time had been reduced from 0.05 seconds to 0.03 seconds!
Now, with his game attributes that had all exceeded 2,000 points, it was simply easy for him to dodge these attacks!
"He dodged it?"
The Mantis Guardian was stunned for a moment, but in that moment, he instantly fell into a bitter battle! 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Holy Light Punishment!
Discipline Spell!
Magic Absorption!
The interval between the skills was extremely short, and they bombarded the Mantis Guardian non-stop.
"Damn, I was careless!"
The Mantis Guardian cursed in its heart. Suddenly, it was furious. Its body flashed with golden light and instantly blocked all the attacks.
"Golden Body Spell!"
The Mantis Guardian seemed to have turned into a golden statue. Lin Bei's attacks landed, but he could not cause any damage to it!
"Hahaha, you're still too inexperienced to kill me!"
The Mantis Guardian laughed. His Golden Body Spell could last for 10 minutes!
In these ten minutes, he would not suffer any damage!
Moreover, these ten minutes were enough for him to recover his health points to full!
Most importantly, the cooldown time of this Golden Body Spell was also 10 minutes!
This way, as long as he reacted fast enough, he would never be hurt!
"Heh, interesting."
Seeing this, Lin Bei smiled faintly. He raised his hand and cast a Dispel Spell, instantly imprisoning the Mantis Guardian.
The golden light was instantly dispersed, and the Mantis Guardian's grinning mouth instantly froze.
Lin Bei did not hesitate and continued to bombard it with spells.
In less than half a minute, the Mantis Guardian died.
In the end, it did not even break Lin Bei's two shields. Although it was Level 80, from its performance, Lin Bei's evaluation was that it was inferior to Jian Yi.
Jian Yi's every sword move was very powerful.
On the other hand, other than having two more hands, this Mantis Guardian only had the Golden Body Spell. However, Lin Bei had dispersed its Golden Body Spell, so it could only be beaten up.
"Kid, why are you so powerful?! I think your level is only Level 30, right?"
Soon, on the ruins altar, the Mantis Guardian condensed again. As the body of a dead soul and as the guardian of the ruins, as long as the ruins were not broken, they could be revived forever. This was very similar to the players.
"Am I? It's so-so. Perhaps you're too weak."
Lin Bei shrugged and did not feel anything.
However, it was all thanks to his Dispelling Spell that had broken through the limit. Otherwise, he would not have been able to dispel the Golden Body Spell.
Therefore, if other players wanted to attack the Mantis Guardian, unless someone mastered the Limit Breaking Dispersion Spell, they would definitely not be able to defeat it.
"Sigh, I'm unlucky to have met a freak like you! Alright, these are the rewards for this challenge. Choose one."
The Mantis Guardian sighed and waved its hand. A reward interface appeared in front of Lin Bei.
There was a pile of Diamond equipment and a few items.
Without another word, Lin Bei chose the Divinity Dust.
"Hey, good choice."
The Mantis Guardian praised, "Alright, you've already succeeded in your challenge. I'm going back to rest."
"Don't be in a hurry to leave."
Lin Bei said with a smile.
"What? You still want to fight me? It's useless. A person can only get a challenge reward once. That's the rule."
The Mantis Guardian said in a low voice, "The challenge reward will not be given repeatedly."
...
"I'm not here to challenge you, but to… duel!"
Lin Bei smiled and started a duel with the Mantis Guardian!
In an instant, the Duel Vest took effect. The Mantis Guardian was forcefully pulled into a duel state!
"Damn, what's going on? I'm protected by the Ruins' Rules. How can you still hit me? You're unreasonable!"
The Mantis Guardian was dumbfounded.
However, he had already been pulled into a duel state by Lin Bei. He could only brace himself!
Of course, the result was very obvious. Lin Bei won again in less than a minute.
Not only that, but he also weakened the Mantis Guardian by 50 points.
"You…"
"Duel!"
The Mantis Guardian condensed his body again. However, before he could speak, Lin Bei smiled and activated the duel mode again!
...
"F*ck, are you done?! I'm not fighting anymore!"
The Mantis Guardian roared.
"Simple. Give me the Divinity Dust and I won't beat you anymore!"
"In your dreams! This is a rule. You can only obtain one reward at most!"
"Then there's no room for negotiation!"
Lin Bei pursed his lips and continued to fight.
With his current strength, he could not destroy the ruins.
However, every time the guardian died, he would be forcefully revived by the power of the ruins.
This container's strength was fixed.
Therefore, as long as he continued to kill, as the Mantis Guardian became weaker and weaker, he would gradually be unable to withstand the replenishment of the power of the ruins and finally explode!
At that time, everything on him would be exposed.
At that time, the Mantis Guardian would permanently die, and everything on him would drop. Lin Bei would be able to get full rewards.
Just like that, Lin Bei killed the Mantis Guardian nine times in a row!
Finally, on the tenth time, the Mantis Guardian admitted defeat.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I admit defeat! I admit defeat! I'll give you whatever reward you want, alright?"
The Mantis Guardian felt sad.
Damn it, he was a Guardian!
And now? He was actually forced to submit to others. It was too embarrassing!
However, he had no choice!
This was because this human kid in front of him was too strange. Every time he was defeated, he could feel his strength constantly weakening. At this rate, his body would definitely explode because it was weakened and could not withstand the revival power of the ruins. In the end, he would completely die!
He did not want to die!
Therefore, after struggling for a long time, he could only choose to submit!
He wanted to be tougher, but… reality did not allow it!
"Sigh, why are you doing this? You should have agreed earlier!"
Lin Bei sighed and patted the hard shell of the Mantis Guardian. He smiled and said, "Come, give me all the divinity items on you."
"Ah? This…"
"I won't force you. If you don't hand it over, I'll keep killing you until you self-destruct. At that time, everything will drop. It may take a longer time. But I'm not in a hurry. It's up to you."
Lin Bei shrugged indifferently.
"You… Sigh, alright, alright. I've been controlled by you. In that case, I'll give it all to you."
The Mantis Guardian sighed and gave up struggling. He took out a wooden box. There were two portions of Divinity Dust in it. Coupled with the portion that Lin Bei had obtained previously, there were a total of three portions!
"Is that all?"
Lin Bei put away the wooden boxes and looked at the Mantis Guardian.
"There's really no more of this! Not a drop left!"
The Mantis Guardian wanted to cry but had no tears. He said sadly, "If there's no other way, I'll give you all the equipment. Just be kind and spare me! It's not easy for me to live for so many years. I don't want to die."
"Alright, alright, I understand. Look at you. Are you really a Ruins Guardian? Alright, stay here. I'm leaving."
Lin Bei waved his hand and rode away.
He was already very satisfied to obtain three portions of Divinity Dust from a ruin.
Next, he went to the next ruin to continue exploiting… Ahem, ahem, farming Divinity Dust!
The Tavern's Mystic Realm was vast. Each of the ruins was like a level-three main city in the Heavenly Might World.
This was also why Lin Bei would rather spend more time collecting Divinity Dust in the same ruin than choose to change places.
The ruins were more than a hundred kilometers apart.
Even if he rode the Ghost Warhorse at full speed, it would still take about 10 minutes, and it would only take him less than half a minute to defeat the Ruins Guardian.
Therefore, in comparison, he would obtain more Divinity Dust in this way.
Although he would farm fewer ruins, he would gain more divine items.
To Lin Bei, it was naturally a good thing.
"At this speed, I'll clear a ruin in 15 minutes. It's almost enough for me to farm 100 ruins!"
Lin Bei thought to himself, "If there are an average of three portions of Divinity Dust in each ruin, my gains this time will be huge!"
300 portions of Divinity Dust were enough to synchronize 300% of his basic attributes!
At that time, his attributes would be ridiculously high!
"I hope everything goes well!"
Lin Bei was looking forward to it.
Soon, he found the second ruin, the 2,200-year-old Carter Dynasty ruin.
Without a word, he rushed in and began to bombard it with spells!
He had to hurry up and take as much Divinity Dust as possible. This way, he could only go out and increase his strength as much as possible!
All of this had been planned.
Soon, in less than five minutes, the guardian of the Carter Dynasty ruins was also beaten up by Lin Bei. After giving out three portions of Divinity Dust, the guardian left in depression.
Lin Bei smiled brightly. He put away the Divinity Dust and rushed to the next ruin.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
97 Insufficient Efficiency? Helpful Clones!
Lin Bei was extremely satisfied. In an hour, he had already farmed four ruins. Moreover, his luck was not bad. These four ruins were all more than 2,000 years old, and he had obtained a total of 10 portions of Divinity Dust.
Other than the three portions of Divinity Dust from the Batha Dynasty ruins and the Carter Dynasty ruins, there were only two portions of Divinity Dust from each of the remaining two ruins. Although there was one less portion, it was still acceptable.
"If the current me uses Divinity Dust, my divinity can easily break through 10 points, and I can break through the second attribute limit."
Lin Bei smiled and was very satisfied.
!
The second Attribute Limit Breaking required 10 points of Divinity, the third time required 50 points of Divinity, and the fourth time required 200 points of Divinity. If his trip to the mystic realm went smoothly, after he went out this time, he would absorb the Divinity Dust and successfully break through the remaining three basic attributes.
Soon, Lin Bei arrived at the fifth ruin.
Boqi Dynasty Ruins (Lv.80, 1800 years old)
"It's not even 2,000 years old!"
Lin Bei was stunned. He shrugged helplessly and could only choose to leave.
According to Jian Yi, ruins below 2,000 years old would not produce Divinity Dust. Staying here was a waste of time, so he might as well hurry to the next ruin.
However, this way, he had wasted 10 minutes. On average, there were about two portions of Divinity Dust missing. It was impossible to say that his heart did not ache.
"Forget it. I hope my luck is better next. If there are a few ruins with a lot of Divinity Dust, I'll make up for my losses."
Lin Bei sighed and continued to explore.
Ten minutes later, another ruin appeared in front of him.
"Damn! It's not even 2,000 years old?! Am I that unlucky?"
Lin Bei's face darkened. He could not hold it in anymore.
What a huge loss!
With such a long time, if the age of the ruins reached the requirement, it would be enough for him to farm at least four portions of Divinity Dust!
That was a 4% attribute synchronization!
With his current basic attributes, it was equivalent to synchronizing 200 points of total attributes to reality!
Such an effect was enough to increase his strength in the real world by a large margin!
"This can't go on! The mystic realm space is so big. If I search one by one, won't I get nothing if I'm unlucky?"
Lin Bei's expression darkened as he prepared to change his plan.
"Right! I can use my clones!"
Lin Bei slapped his thigh and reacted.
Then, he immediately took off the bead bracelet in his hand and scattered it on the ground, transforming into 10 Killing Intent Clones.
Whoosh!
The ten clones immediately ran in different directions!
"This way, the efficiency will be higher! Using my clones to find a suitable ruin, I won't be running around like a headless fly!"
Lin Bei waited for a while and immediately received a message from his clones.
Ten Killing Intent Clones had discovered a total of ten ruins, and only four of them were more than 2,000 years old!
This ratio was actually not low, but if Lin Bei was really to search one by one, the efficiency would be too low. After all, he only had 24 hours. If he farmed one fewer ruin, he would lose some Divinity Dust. If this continued, his gains would definitely be greatly reduced!
Fortunately, he had ten Killing Intent Clones. With the help of his clones, he could avoid those empty ruins and farm dust without worry!
"Continue to let my clones explore. I'll go to one of the ruins first!"
Lin Bei immediately summoned his Ghost Warhorse and ran towards one of the ruins.
About ten minutes later, Lin Bei stepped into the ruins again and began the spell bombardment!
Three minutes later, the Guardian submitted and gave him three portions of Divinity Dust. In addition to the one he had obtained from the challenge, he had obtained four portions of Divinity Dust from the one ruin!
"It's getting better!"
Lin Bei was excited. Under the resentful gaze of the guardian of the ruins, he left the ruins and headed for his next target!
Soon, an hour passed. Lin Bei swept through four more ruins and obtained 12 portions of Divinity Dust!
Now, he had a total of 26 portions of Divinity Dust on him!
It had only been more than two hours since he entered the mystic realm!
On the other side, the Killing Intent Clones had already found 10 ruins that met the requirements. One of them was even imperial ruins that were more than 4,000 years old! 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The imperial ruins were ruins that were a level higher than the dynasty ruins!
The guardian inside was an Emperor-tier Boss!
"Have you finally found an Emperor-tier Guardian?"
Lin Bei was a little excited. Compared to the Bosses of the same level outside, the Guardians were much stronger!
Fortunately, their strength was not in their attributes, but in their combat skills. Their super fast reaction speed and super strong combat skills were their strengths!
Just like Jian Yi, who Lin Bei had encountered previously, although he was a King-tier Boss, his actual combat ability was no longer weaker than ordinary Emperor-tier Bosses!
Under normal circumstances, the extreme reaction of an ordinary Emperor-tier Boss was 0.1 seconds, but Jian Yi's extreme reaction could reach 0.07 seconds!
Therefore, even though Jian Yi's attributes were slightly inferior, as for actual combat ability, he surpassed ordinary Emperor-tier Bosses!
This was only the guardian of a King-level ruin. The guardian of an Emperor-level ruin above that would definitely be even more terrifying!
Fortunately, after Lin Bei's second attribute synchronization, his strength had increased greatly. Now, his extreme reaction speed had already reached 0.03 seconds. In his opinion, it was enough to touch an Emperor-level Ruin Guardian!
"If I can defeat the guardian of the Emperor-level ruins, the divine item I obtain should be better! I have a high chance of obtaining the Divinity Fragment!"
...
Lin Bei thought to himself and was a little excited.
One had to know that the effect of one Divinity Fragment was equivalent to five portions of Divinity Dust!
If everything went smoothly, he could obtain three Divinity Fragments per Emperor-level ruin, which was equivalent to a total of 15 portions of Divinity Dust!
Such a gain was even greater than the total gain of the previous hour!
"This challenge to the Emperor-level ruins is very important."
Lin Bei frowned and pondered for a few seconds before making a decision.
"Let's go and take a look first. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late to leave! If it works, let the Killing Intent Clones speed up the search for high-level ruins and I will challenge the Emperor-level Boss first!"
Lin Bei rode his Ghost Warhorse and ran towards the ruins of the dynasty!
About ten minutes later, Lin Bei arrived outside the imperial ruins.
This was a huge golden palace. Even after 4,000 years, it was still majestic and solemn.
Lin Bei put away his Ghost Warhorse and stepped into the ruins.
...
"Oh? After so many years, there's actually another challenger! Not bad, let me see how strong you are!"
An old voice slowly floated past. Then, a hunched old man with white hair appeared in the sky. However, what did not match his appearance was that he was carrying a huge sword more than three meters long on his back!
Guardian of the Purple Cloud Empire Ruins, Jian Jiu (Lv.91, Emperor Tier, 4,000 years old)
"Jian Jiu?"
Lin Bei was stunned. This… Could this old man be related to Jian Yi from the ruins of the Sunset Dynasty?
However, why was Jian Jiu so much more powerful than Jian Yi?
Logically speaking, shouldn't Jian Yi be stronger?
Lin Bei did not understand.
"Heh, junior, you're actually in the mood to be distracted during a battle. Looks like you haven't suffered enough beating!"
Jian Jiu shook his head and laughed. His hunched body instantly stood straight, and his originally thin body instantly expanded, finally turning into a muscular old man.
"Eat my sword!"
The old man took large strides and appeared above Lin Bei's head in a breath. His huge sword was unsheathed and slashed down!
98 Young People Don't Value Martial Virtues!
"So fast!"
Lin Bei was tense and barely dodged the sword. His expression was solemn.
Jian Jiu's reaction speed was similar to his!
It had also reached 0.03 seconds!
!
This way, he would not have the advantage!
It was unrealistic to crush the other party. He could only give it a try!
Lin Bei thought to himself. The upper limit of an Emperor-tier Boss' Health Points was all above 100 million, but it usually would not exceed 1 billion points. However, this was only relative. As a Guardian, there would be a ruin bonus. It was not impossible to reach 2 billion points!
Lin Bei threw a punch back at Jian Jiu while dodging, testing his health limit!
1.5 billion!
It was very high!
Now that Lin Bei was in full condition, the damage of using the Holy Light Punishment was about 6 million!
In other words, if Jian Jiu did not resist at all, he would have to use Holy Light Punishment more than 200 times in a row to defeat him!
"This is too hard!"
Lin Bei could not help but sigh.
One had to know that this was because Discipline Spell ignored defense. If it were anyone else, who knew how long it would take to kill Jian Jiu?
Unless a group of people cooperated with various items, talents, and skills, they wouldn't have a chance!
However, the chances were still slim!
First of all, the extreme reaction speed of 0.03 seconds was three times that of the current top players. If they wanted to deal with him, unless they used various debuffing skills or items to forcefully reduce his speed, they had no chance of winning at all!
Moreover, even if they slowed the other party down, was the resistance of an Emperor-tier Boss a joke? In just a few seconds, the control effect would probably be offset.
Moreover, can you guarantee that such an awesome existence doesn't have any skills to remove debuffs?
It was obviously impossible!
Therefore, for players at this stage, it was almost impossible to attack Jian Jiu!
Unless the other party deliberately went easy on him, even the current Lin Bei would find it very difficult to deal with him!
"Not bad, you can actually dodge my sword. You're quite interesting."
Jian Jiu stroked his beard with a smile and said, "How about this? I won't bully you. If you can take seven of my strikes in a row, I'll consider that you have passed the challenge! What do you think?"
"…"
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth twitched.
Why did these words sound so familiar?
Didn't Jian Yi say something similar in the ruins of the Sunset Dynasty?
The only difference was that Jian Yi had said "nine attacks" back then, and Jian Jiu had said "seven strikes" now.
However, Lin Bei would not foolishly believe their nonsense! 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Back then, Jian Yi had clearly agreed to use nine attacks, but in the end, he used the eleventh move. It was simply a slap in the face!
If Lin Bei had not reacted quickly back then, he would have died!
Now, this guy called Jian Jiu had announced that he only needed to take seven of his strikes to pass the challenge. Would Lin Bei believe him?
Of course not!
Not only that, but he also had to make preparations in advance to trick him. This way, it would be much easier to take him down!
Lin Bei sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be surprised and asked anxiously, "Are you serious?"
"Of course! As the guardian of the ruins, how can I lie to you? Seven strikes it is! If you can withstand them, I'll give you a Divinity Fragment!"
Jian Jiu stroked his beard and smiled faintly.
Lin Bei's eyes lit up.
As expected, he had a Divinity Fragment!
There might be quite a lot!
Lin Bei took a deep breath and could not help but think of Jian Yi of the Sunset Dynasty.
Logically speaking, a dynasty ruin should only have Divinity Dust at most, so there should not be any Divinity Fragments. However, Jian Yi had given him a Divinity Fragment at that time!
The explanation given at that time was that he obtained it by chance.
But now that Lin Bei thought about it, it was completely suspicious!
However, he couldn't care less about the reason now. He only cared about one thing!
Since Jian Yi from the dynasty ruins could take out a Divinity Fragment, could Jian Jiu, as the guardian of the imperial ruins, take out a divine item that was one level higher than the Divinity Fragment?
Lin Bei swallowed his saliva in anticipation.
If there was really such a thing, he had to beat the guy up no matter what!
He had never seen a divine item that was higher than a Divinity Fragment!
What's its name?
Also, what effect did it have?
However, could he convert more attributes and obtain more divinity points?
...
Or did it have additional effects? For example, converting skills, talents, and so on?
Or… synchronize the equipment or items in the game world to the real world?
Lin Bei was excited. He looked at Jian Jiu with burning eyes, as if he was staring at a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. He was extremely excited.
Jian Jiu was a little uncomfortable under Lin Bei's gaze. He frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Although there are only seven strikes, don't get carried away! With your strength, it's not so easy to withstand my seven strikes!"
For some reason, Jian Jiu felt a little uneasy. He did not say anything else and flew forward. He swept his huge sword and shouted, "Second strike, Sword Shadow Storm!"
Boom!
For a moment, sword auras wreaked havoc and gravel flew everywhere. A huge sword aura tornado condensed and covered an area of 30 meters!
Lin Bei came back to his senses and looked at the sword aura tornado that descended from the sky. He used the Earth Escape Technique and disappeared.
"Eh, he disappeared? Something is wrong!"
Jian Jiu was stunned for a moment. He was shocked and was about to retreat when he felt a strong hand grab his ankle. For a moment, he lost his balance and was pulled underground!
After the Earth Escape Technique broke through the limit, even the imperial ruins could not stop him!
...
Lin Bei was like a fish in water underground. He pulled Jian Jiu down more than a hundred meters before stopping.
Similar to Jian Yi back then, Jian Jiu was trapped under the ruins and could not move.
However, compared to Jian Yi, he was in a worse state.
Jian Yi was dragged underground after six or seven strikes, but Jian Jiu… Before he could finish the second strike, Lin Bei paid special attention to him.
Not only that, the hardness of the rocks underground in the ruins of the dynasty was far inferior to the imperial ruins!
This meant that it would be much more difficult for Jian Jiu to break out of the ground than it was for Jian Yi!
However, this was not something Lin Bei had to consider. What he had to do now was to bombard Jian Jiu with spells!
Waiting for you to attack?
Sorry, I don't have that intention!
My goal is to take all the ruins. According to your rhythm, that's impossible!
It is better for you to be stuck in a crack in the stone obediently and be bombarded to death by me!
Jian Jiu was stunned. This young man… did not care about morals!
They had clearly agreed on seven strikes!
This is only my second strike, and you're already launching a sneak attack!
Damn!
How cunning!
99 Jian Jiu Is Dumbfounded! Great Harvest!
However, Lin Bei did not care if it was a sneak attack. The winner was king, okay?
Take his life while he was down!
Lin Bei seized the opportunity and kept using Discipline Spells, causing smoke to rise from Jian Jiu. He almost vomited blood and died.
"Kid! That's not what we agreed on! You… you don't care about morals!"
"Why do you care? If I defeat you, I'll naturally get the reward! Alright, cut the crap. If you have the time, think about how to escape!"
Lin Bei pursed his lips. The speed of the spell bombardment increased. There were other skills mixed in, trying to maximize his damage output.
"I—"
Jian Jiu blew his beard and glared, but he could only take the beating passively.
He wanted to counterattack, but… the rocks underground in the imperial ruins were too sturdy. He could not break through them in a short period of time!
"You're making me angry!"
Jian Jiu roared in his heart, but he could only rage helplessly.
He felt aggrieved. Couldn't everyone keep their promise?
Is it that difficult to let you receive seven of my strikes?
Jian Jiu was also helpless. He would never have dreamed that Lin Bei had encountered Jian Yi before this. Moreover, Jian Yi had used a similar method to let Lin Bei challenge him, but in the end, Jian Yi went back on his word and directly unleashed a big move, almost killing Lin Bei.
Therefore, how could Lin Bei continue to choose to believe him?
Of course, if Jian Jiu knew, he would definitely complain.
Big Brother, I really only have seven strikes!
Jian Yi is Jian Yi, but I'm Jian Jiu!
At this moment, Jian Jiu had all his skills, but he could not use them no matter what!
He was depressed! He was helpless! He was in pain!
He could only be trapped in a crack in the stone like a dummy and be mercilessly bombarded by Lin Bei. In the end, he died!
Energy gathered, and Jian Jiu revived at the altar.
However, before he could stand firm, he felt his ankle being grabbed again.
"Oh no!"
Jian Jiu was shocked and exploded. He activated his immunity skill and tried to block Lin Bei's sneak attack.
However, Lin Bei was already prepared. He raised his hand and cast a Dispel Spell, causing Jian Jiu to lose his dream again.
"Damn!"
Jian Jiu grabbed the rocks on both sides with both hands and tried to put up a final resistance.
However, Lin Bei used the Earth Escape Technique, and the surrounding rocks retreated quickly like water, making Jian Jiu's hands unable to exert any strength!
"Kid, are you done?"
Jian Jiu was furious. He rode his sword in the air and controlled the huge sword to slash down heavily.
However, Lin Bei's Holy Light Shield blocked it. Not only was he not affected at all, but he also kicked the huge sword into a crack in the rock at the side. The rock solidified and completely enveloped the huge sword!
"Damn! This works too?!"
Jian Jiu was all numb.
Damn it, are you a rat?
No, even rats are not as exaggerated as you, right?
Seriously!
Jian Jiu's face was covered in dust and he was depressed. Under Lin Bei's spell bombardment, he turned into ashes again.
On the altar, Jian Jiu was revived.
This time, he was sufficiently prepared. He crossed the air and flew into the air.
"Hehe, this time, I'm standing in the void and not touching the ground. Let's see what you can do!"
Jian Jiu smiled smugly.
I'm in the sky. Could it be that you can drag me to the ground from afar?
Jian Jiu smiled and looked down at the ground, waiting for Lin Bei to appear.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one appeared at all.
"Strange, could it be that this kid is hiding and wants to fight a war of attrition?"
Jian Jiu was puzzled.
"Hmph, small tricks. I won't go near the ground this time no matter what! If you want to waste time with me, I'll waste time with you! Let's see who can last longer?"
Jian Jiu sneered and remained unmoved. He stood upright in the air and stared at the ground.
He was investigating Lin Bei's traces. Once he discovered him, he did not mind launching a lightning attack!
Of course, his huge sword was buried underground and could no longer be used. He could only temporarily take out another weaker huge sword to replace it.
As he thought about this, Jian Jiu lowered his head slightly and looked at the storage ring in his hand. Just as he was about to take out a new huge sword, his expression suddenly changed!
BOOM!
His back was suddenly attacked by a huge force.
...
Then, he lost his balance and fell to the ground!
"Damn!"
Jian Jiu was furious.
This kid could actually fly?
Besides, I clearly didn't notice anyone in the sky just now, right?
How did he suddenly appear?
Could it be teleportation?
That's not right!
If he teleports, there will be spatial fluctuations. It's not like I can't sense it, right?
Why does he look like he'd been staying behind me all this time until he suddenly attacked?
Could it be that… he knew Stealth?
...
Damn, you're an advanced priest. What the hell are you doing with Stealth?
Jian Jiu was speechless. He wanted to resist, but he, who had lost the initiative, was dragged underground again and bombarded by Lin Bei's spells!
Not long after, the upper limit of 1.5 billion health points was exhausted, and Jian Jiu revived again.
This time, he threw a pack of Anti-Stealth Powder into the sky and immediately revealed Lin Bei's figure lurking in the sky. He immediately laughed and said loudly, "Kid, you only know these sneak attacks. There's nothing you can do this time, right?"
Jian Jiu smiled and was about to continue teasing when the figure in the sky suddenly disappeared!
"Oh no, I've been tricked!"
His ankle tightened, and a piece of gravel suddenly reached out and dragged him underground.
Jian Jiu began to doubt his life.
Damn, is this… Transformation Spell?
Damn it, kid, are you a sore loser?
It was fine if it happened once or twice, but what was going on?
"I'm not fighting anymore! You've already won! I'll give you a reward, okay?"
In the crack in the stone, Jian Jiu said weakly.
"That won't do. You have to give me all the divine items."
Lin Bei said with a smile.
"That's impossible! Ruins have rules. Even if you kill me a thousand times, I can still be resurrected. I can only give you a Divinity Fragment, no more!"
"That's a pity."
Lin Bei smiled helplessly and continued to attack.
The love punishment of the Duel Vest was not to be trifled with!
50 attribute points per time might not be a big deal for an Emperor-tier Boss, but what about ten or twenty times?
Losing more than a thousand attribute points was extremely painful even for an Emperor-tier Boss!
As expected, after three minutes, Jian Jiu died twice more. He finally could not hold it in anymore.
"Damn, why are you so ruthless? Alright, alright! I'm convinced! Didn't you want divine items? I'll give them to you!"
Jian Jiu's face was pale. He had been resurrected continuously, and he did not feel good either.
Furthermore, he realized that his strength was depleting every time he revived!
Although it was not particularly obvious, he still noticed it after so many times!
"Damn it, there's no need to think. It must be this kid's doing! Damn, I really don't know where this kid came from! He's just a Descended One, but he's actually so tricky!"
Jian Jiu cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to offend Lin Bei on the surface. Instead, he smiled and took out three wooden boxes.
"In these three wooden boxes, one box contains a Divinity Crystal, and the other two boxes contain three Divinity Fragments and five Divinity Dust."
As Jian Jiu spoke, he handed all the wooden boxes to Lin Bei and said in a low voice, "Alright, the divine items in my hands are all here. Take them and leave quickly."
"There's no hurry."
Lin Bei took the wooden box with a smile and waved his hand.
"Damn, you have to keep your word! I've already given you everything. Are you still going to pester me?"
Jian Jiu's teeth hurt. Did this kid really want to fight to the death with him?
No way!
There's no grudge between us. There's no need to do this!
"You're called Jian Jiu. Do you know Jian Yi?"
Lin Bei asked with a smile.
"Jian Yi? You've seen him?"
Jian Jiu frowned and asked.
"That's right. He's now the guardian of the ruins of the Sunset Dynasty, but compared to you, he's quite weak."
Lin Bei nodded and did not hide anything.
"Damn, the Sunset Dynasty?"
Jian Jiu was dumbfounded when he heard that. "Based on what you're saying, he's… already dead? And he's become a Guardian?"
"Yes, you think it's unbelievable?"
Lin Bei asked in confusion, "Moreover, he has been a Guardian for 3,000 years."
"…"
Jian Jiu was speechless for a long time. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Sigh, my big brother just doesn't listen to advice! We brothers told him long ago that drinking would ruin things, but he didn't listen. Now, it seems like in that battle back then… he's really dead!"
"The battle back then?"
"Sigh, back then, in order to save us, who had become the guardians of the ruins, Big Brother fought that mysterious existence. Now, it seems like… he lost."
Jian Jiu was very vexed, as if he was unwilling to say anything more. He looked at Lin Bei and hesitated for a while before taking out a purple-gold wine gourd. "This is Big Brother's wine gourd from back then. With this, he might be able to escape the restraints of the ruins. As for what happens in the future, it's up to him."
Lin Bei took the Purple Gold Wine Gourd and put it in his storage ring.
This was good stuff. It could help Jian Yi break free from the restraints of the ruins. If he used it rationally, he would definitely gain a lot!
"I'll leave Big Brother in your hands! Also, remember to tell him not to drink too much in the future. Drinking will ruin things…"
After Jian Jiu finished speaking, his body turned into a phantom and disappeared.
Obviously, he thought of a sad past and hid away to cry alone.
Lin Bei shrugged and left the ruins without saying anything.
In any case, he had already obtained the divine items. It would be a waste of time to stay here. He might as well hurry up and head to the next ruin.
This was because according to the detection of the Killing Intent Clones, he had just discovered another imperial ruin!
As he galloped, Lin Bei looked at the Divinity Crystal in the wooden box.
To be honest, this was the first time he had obtained a Divinity Crystal. He was still looking forward to its attributes.
Lin Bei looked at the Divinity Crystal, and the latter's attributes immediately came into view.
"Is… is this the attribute of the Divinity Crystal?" 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒏𝙚𝙩
Lin Bei was extremely shocked. "Compared to a Divinity Fragment one level lower than it, the attributes of this Divinity Crystal are too abnormal, right?"
That was because not only could it synchronize a large number of attributes, but it could also… synchronize game skills to the real world!
It was too awesome!
Lin Bei took a deep breath and felt his entire body tremble.
He was too excited!
100 Divinity Crystal!
Lin Bei stared at the attributes of the Divinity Crystal excitedly.
It was too awesome!
Divinity Crystal: After use, Divinity +20, convert 20% of basic attributes to the real world, convert a skill to the real world. Time: 20 hours.
Unbelievable!
!
Invincible!
This was the only thought in Lin Bei's mind!
Compared to the Divinity Fragments and Divinity Dust, the effect of the Divinity Crystal was simply incomparably powerful!
Divinity, attributes, and skills could greatly increase his strength!
What kind of experience was it to have the skills of the game world in the reality? 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝘦𝘵
Lin Bei could not imagine it!
He only knew that if more and more people had game skills in the real world, the current situation of the world would definitely be greatly impacted!
The Dark Age might very well descend!
Anarchy, disorder, a world filled with killing and crisis!
Lin Bei did not dare to imagine it!
An unprecedented pressure enveloped his heart.
Would anyone other than him obtain a Divinity Crystal?
The answer was obvious!
As the player's level increased and they became stronger, one day, there would be players other than him who obtained divine items!
As their strength slowly accumulated, it was not difficult to obtain Divinity Crystals in the end!
It was just that in terms of time, it was difficult to calculate.
However, it could be expected that the Divinity Crystal would be a huge turning point!
What did it mean for game skills to be brought into the real world?
This meant that Assassins could go into Stealth, Mages could raise their hands and release all kinds of powerful skills, Priests could cure all kinds of tricky illnesses, Warriors could erupt with powerful strength, and it was not impossible to tear a tank apart with their bare hands!
At that time, could social order continue to be stable?
Lin Bei did not know, nor did he want to know.
"Sigh… Looks like the real world in the future is destined to not be peaceful."
Lin Bei sighed. "Looks like I have to let my parents enter the game as soon as possible to increase their strength! My ability is limited. The only thing I can do is to help the people around me as much as possible. As for the rest… I can only take it one step at a time!"
He couldn't help but recall some of the things Alina had said to him when he first met her. At that time, he didn't understand. Now that he thought about it, perhaps Alina was reminding him of this?
"Forget it. It's not my personality to worry unnecessarily. The current me has already taken the initiative. I shouldn't worry about these things!"
Lin Bei frowned. "What I should be worried about now is how to accumulate as much strength as possible before others discover the divine item!"
If darkness descended in the future, if he had enough strength, no matter how dangerous the world was, he could protect himself and his family!
"Let's farm more divine items."
Lin Bei felt even more anxious.
"24 hours… Perhaps, for the current me, it's not a problem for me to stay for a while longer!"
Lin Bei thought to himself and looked at the Random Teleportation Scroll in his inventory.
"I'll farm here and keep farming. If there's really an emergency, I'll use the scroll to teleport away!"
Although it was a little risky and he did not know where he would be teleported to, he could not care too much for the sake of the divine item.
If it really doesn't work, I'll use Alina's battle clone to help!
If it doesn't work, I'll summon her main body!
Level 200 extraordinary lifeforms were not to be trifled with!
"Moreover, Bobo's trade order can allow me to temporarily enter his portable space to take refuge. In short, even if 24 hours are over, I won't have nowhere to go!"
Lin Bei thought to himself. The only thing he had to worry about was the upcoming challenge. However, even if he could not rush over himself, if he changed accounts at the last minute, with him commanding, although it would be a little troublesome to advance, it should not be too difficult!
"I'll do it!"
Lin Bei gritted his teeth.
How could he become stronger without taking a risk?
At this moment, he had already decided to stay here.
Even if the energy of the teleportation array was exhausted and dissipated, he would not return!
He had to farm as many divine items as possible!
Not to mention anything else, one Divinity Crystal was definitely not enough!
"After farming this Emperor-level ruin, I'll go back and look for Jian Jiu to see if he knows which ruin might have Divinity Crystals. If I can obtain a detailed map, this trip to the mystic realm will be much more convenient!"
Lin Bei made up his mind and entered another imperial ruin.
This imperial ruin had been around for 3,000 years. Although it was a little inferior to the ruin where Jian Jiu was, there was still an Emperor-tier Boss and it was quite powerful.
However, under Lin Bei's tactic of burrowing into the ground and launching spell bombardment, it still could not escape misfortune. In less than five minutes, it was completely defeated and admitted defeat.
However, the guardian of this imperial ruin did not have any Divinity Crystals. In the end, it only took out one Divinity Fragment and three Divinity Dust. Although it was not much, it was already rich enough compared to those dynasty ruins!
...
"Let's go back and find Jian Jiu first!"
Lin Bei put away the divine items and immediately returned to the ruins of the Purple Cloud Empire.
"Jian Jiu! Come out quickly! I have something to tell you!"
"…"
"Come out! It's an emergency!"
"…"
"Jian Jiu! If you don't come out, I'll find you and kill you until you self-destruct. Do you believe me?"
"What are you doing? I really don't have any divine items here!"
In the void, a hunched figure appeared. Jian Jiu cried and said helplessly.
Is there no end to this?
I really don't have a single drop left!
...
"I'm looking for you for something else!"
Lin Bei went straight to the point and asked, "Let me ask you, do you know the locations of other imperial ruins? Tell me, I have an urgent need. Also, tell me about which dynasty ruins might have Divinity Crystals."
"Uh… what are you going to do?"
Jian Jiu's expression changed when he heard this. He had a bad feeling.
"Nothing. I just thought that the Guardians had been guarding here for thousands of years and they must be lonely and bored. I'm just going over to spar with them."
Lin Bei smiled.
"…"
Jian Jiu fell silent, and his beard twitched violently.
Sparring?
Spar my ass!
As if I would believe you!
You're really bad!
But… I like it!
Damn it, I can't be the only one to suffer!
As for the others, if you don't get beaten up, to be honest, I'm not happy!
After some thought, Jian Jiu stroked his beard and smiled at Lin Bei. "It's not impossible to tell you, but you have to agree to one of my requests."
"What request?"
"You have to record the process of beating them up! I want to see it!"
Jian Jiu laughed evilly.
Lin Bei: Σ( ▽ )?
When Lin Bei heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Good lord, I thought your request was to let me free you from the shackles of the ruins. Now, it seems that I was thinking too much. No… I was thinking too little.
"Alright, tell me their information. I'll record a compilation for you later. I'll definitely let you watch it to your heart's content!"
"Haha! Then it's settled! Come, I'll tell you where those old things are hiding! Hehe, really, I know these places very well!"
Jian Jiu laughed and came forward. He took out a piece of parchment and began to paint.
The smile on his face was extremely bright.
