The low-level players were no longer a match for the monsters, and the level 50 to 60 players who had come to this area had also retreated one by one.
"I'll be counting on you from now on. Take these Stamina Pills and use them."
Lin Ying said as she took out a large number of Stamina Pills to give to him.
Seeing this, the people around him also sent him a Stamina Pills.
Ling Yi wanted to refuse, but someone outside was already shouting, "Boss 01 needs a lot of stamina to use his Skills. If anyone has any Stamina Pills, you can donate it as a contribution!"
"Boss 01 did it for us!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone shouted, "I'm not strong enough to make any contributions, but I can still buy a few Stamina Pills as a donation."
"Me too!"
More and more people responded, and the news quickly spread among tens of millions of people.
Ling Yi had no choice but to accept it.
'It's good to let everyone think that my Skill requires a lot of stamina… In fact, it does require a lot of physical strength.'
There were ten million people here. If everyone contributed one, there would be ten million pills.
Although he would not be able to use it all in his lifetime, at least he would not need to buy this thing in the future, right?
Very quickly….
Under the constant supply of Stamina Pills, Ling Yi no longer had any concerns when he needed to use [Starfall].
One after another, blazing stars ten times the size of the ones in Nightless City fell from the sky, causing a concentrated attack on all the monsters in the city.
It was worth mentioning that there was only one type of monster challenging them, which was a Demon Soldier wearing cold black armor and revealing dark red eyes.
They didn't have fire resistance and didn't have the ability to resuscitate in fire like the Blazing Butterfly, so none of them survived after a few Flaming Stars.
'Now that I think about it, do I need the [Blazing Butterfly's Rebirth]? If there was such a Skill, I wouldn't have to dodge whenever I release my [Starfall].'
Ling Yi couldn't help but think of this as he released [Starfall] at a high frequency.
However, he quickly dispelled the thoughts in his mind.
'I can't even learn the deified Skill with my current Star Slots. I still have the invincible Holy Shield as my goal. I'll think about the rest later.'
The players watched in shock as 01 released one [Starfall] after another until the one-hour challenge time was over.
[Congratulations! You have successfully protected the crystal for an hour and completed the challenge!]
[District 20-06- District 66, wilderness area has been successfully expanded by a thousand times!]
Seeing these two pieces of notification, millions of people were still in disbelief.
"It's over? Did any bosses appear?"
"The resource challenges in the past were quite easy. There shouldn't be any Boss monsters appearing."
"It's mainly because 01's meteorite attack range is too wide! We're not afraid of the enemy's numbers at all."
"That's not a meteorite, it's called Starfall!"
While they were talking, everyone was teleported back to the main world.
…
[Player Announcement: The permanent Map "Nightless City" has been opened!]
[Congratulations on killing the most number of monsters in this resource challenge!]
[You have received: [Army scroll] X1]
It was already the morning of the 16th when he returned.
Xia Wanqing said goodbye and went back. Lin Shurou kissed him and went upstairs to take a shower.
He was the only one left in the living room.
"Aish…"
Ling Yi looked at the calendar on the wall and subconsciously sighed.
"Including today, there are only six days left. In these 6 days, How do I increase my combat power to the point where I can fight a level 80 Beast King?"
"Tsk… It's a little stressful to worry about."
Although he had some confidence because of the Ice Queen's percentage damage and her 100 times critical hit, he was still worried.
If they were to fight now, he estimated that his chances of winning would be less than 20%.
He had already learned about the intermediate Beast King.
[The Intermediate-level Beast King is called the 'Unparalleled Sword Demon'; a three-meter tall humanoid boss. Advanced swordsmanship for close combat and powerful sword aura for long-range combat.]
[Tricky Point 1: It has the doppelganger Skill, which allows it to split into two doppelgangers. Apart from not knowing how to use the Skill, the two doppelgangers have the same interface as the original.]
[Tricky Point 2: It has control resistance and immunity reduction effects for a maximum of 10 seconds. At the same time, it can also turn the body invisible to avoid attacks, making it difficult to hit.]
This was the essence of the summary of the Beast King's information he had seen on the forum.
To the current Ling Yi, there was still the most troublesome problem— The opponent's level and attributes were too high.
The stats window was much higher than his and the Ice Queen's second form combined!
[Before you fight the Intermediate-level Beast King, try to level up as much as possible.] He still remembered that he had to wait until the 18th to pass the qualification assessment between the 40th and 49th before he could upgrade.
'Other than that… Perhaps Shurou can help. If only her level and attributes were a little higher…'
After daydreaming for a while, he slowly collected his thoughts.
He took out the reward he had just received and checked it.
[Army Scroll Lottery Ticket]: After use, one can randomly obtain an E-grade to A-grade Army scroll.
"Mutate."
A few seconds later, he checked again and found that the upper limit had been raised to S-Class.
He immediately used it.
[You have obtained the S-grade Army scroll [Underworld Gate]]
He had a chance of reversing the situation, so drawing an S grade was normal for him.
[Underworld Gate (S)]: A one-time scroll. Upon activation, it can immediately summon 100 Underworld Warriors (Elite Monsters) of the same level as the user for the user to command. Each Underworld Warriors can only last for one hour.
"So, an S-grade Army scroll is this powerful… It's alright."
Elite Monsters were in between monsters and Leader Monsters. A hundred of them together could even suppress a Leader Monster of the same level!
Ling Yi quickly mutated it and opened it again to check.
[Gates of Heaven (S)]: After use, the user can immediately summon 4 Battle Angels (Leader Monsters) of the same level as the user. Each Battle Angel can only last for an hour. It could be used once a day.
One used item becomes permanent.
The 100 Elite Monsters became Four Leader Creatures.
Compared to before, it was undoubtedly much better!
?'No matter how many Elite Monsters there are, they are still small fish in the eyes of a Beast King. Only the level of the Leader Monster can help. Okay, okay.'
Ling Yi was very satisfied with the mutation this time.
This was no different from having four more Boss-level fighters! Whether it was fighting the Beast King in the future or in other situations, they could play a significant role!
He shifted his attention away from the [Gate of Heaven] and his eyes swept back and forth in front of the items in his rucksack.
Immediately after, he habitually opened the Mysterious Store through the [Mysterious Store Pass].
Ever since he had this item, he would open the Mysterious Store once a day, but there had never been an S-rank item appearing.
This time, Ling Yi didn't have much hope in his heart. However, when he opened it, a bright (S) made his eyes light up!
[Ancestral Gem (S)]| White Cloud Bracer (C)| Moonlight Blade (A)]
"Oh? An S has finally appeared!"
[Ancestral Gem (S)]: After binding to the owner, this item can only be used when placed between the palms of the two people. The master can transfer his exp and gold coins to the other party. After the transfer is completed, the master will receive 50% of the money.
[1. The exp and gold coins transferred and returned can only be used by the beneficiary. No other operations can be performed.]
[2. The owner can only use it with four other people at most. (The other four can not be changed once they are confirmed.)]
Ling Yi looked at the effects in detail twice before he finally understood the item.
In simple terms, it was a resource item. When a five-man party gave all the benefits to one person, and the exp and gold coins were distributed by that person, the benefits would be maximized.
In other words, the entire team would have an extra 50% of exp and gold coins!
If he focused on training one person, it would be equivalent to saving half the exp and gold!
'It's a pretty good item. As long as I increase the return rate, it'll be equivalent to a cheat!'
Ling Yi's gaze shifted down to check its price.
As expected, it was 10 million gold coins.
He then checked the current number of gold coins and Night Stones. After a careful calculation, he realized that if all the Night Stones were exchanged for gold coins, it would be just over ten million.
"Since there are currently no other items that he wants to exchange for the Night Stones… Then I'll exchange them all for gold coins."
After completing the exchange, he gritted his teeth and bought the S-grade item.
This is a resource-type item. It can definitely bring him more than 10 million gold coins in return!
Ling Yi firmly believed.
After buying it, he quickly checked the mutation potential of the gem.
[Ancestral Gem — Mutation Potential: Medium]
"Forget it, forget it. I'll be satisfied as long as the return coefficient is higher… System, mutate!"
[Confirm to mutate [Ancestral Gem]? (16 mutant points required)]
"I'm sure,"
The [Ancestral Gem] in front of him quickly became clear after a moment of blurriness. Ling Yi quickly opened it to take a look.
There was only one change—
Return of 50% → Return of 200%
"Not bad, not bad. It's a pity that there are only four spots." Ling Yi nodded, but his face still revealed an obvious smile.
Even if it was only 100%, it was an absolute qualitative change.
200% was even more so!
He quickly went upstairs to the small cubicle, wanting to experience the effects of the [Ancestral Gem] with Lin Shurou.
The latter was currently playing with Ling 'Er in the spring, and when she saw him, she didn't shyly cover her body. Instead, she looked at him with curiosity and asked, "What's wrong? You're in a hurry."
"Hehe."
Ling Yi chuckled and briefly explained the effects of the [Ancestral Gem].
"This… There's such a thing on God's Path?" Lin Shurou's snow-white face was full of surprise.
"Come on!"
He took out the item. It was a smooth, water-blue gem that looked like a cobblestone, and it was extremely bright.
Seeing this, Lin Shurou placed her fair hand on Ling Yi's palm and interlocked her fingers with his.
Ling 'Er's eyes were wide open as she looked at the scene in surprise.
The moment their palms touched, a mysterious force surged into Ling Yi's heart.
He felt that he could now transfer exp and gold coins to her!
Then he began to try to transfer exp to Shurou— The next second, he saw a blue light flowing from his palm to Lin Shurou's palm.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Lin Shurou seemed to have seen something, and her little mouth suddenly opened wide. "I leveled up! It kept rising! Just how much exp did you send over?!"
"One hundred thousand."
He only had 100,000 exp left in his EXP Pool. If he had known that he would get this item in the future, he would have saved more.
Very quickly, all the exp in his EXP Pool were used on Lin Shurou.
In the next second, a message he had been waiting for finally appeared.
[Ancestral Gem: You have gained 20,2468 exp!]
Ling Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
Using 101,234 exp to exchange for 202,468 exp was undoubtedly a very profitable deal!
If it wasn't for the fact that the exp could only be used by himself and couldn't be used for other operations, he would have transferred it to Lin Shurou again to double it!
"What's your level?" Ling Yi asked out of curiosity.
"It just rose to 39… I still want to fight in the level 30 – 39 Region rankings." Lin Shurou had already tried it. After merging with Ling 'Er, she could enter the arena and fight with other people as usual.
"Regional ranking? Your compatibility?"
"Hehe, it's already at 60%."
"So fast? It's only been a few days and it's already doubled."
Ling 'Er finally found a chance to interject when she heard Ling Yi's words. She said, "Right now, we're still in the stage of deepening our understanding of each other. Our compatibility is indeed rising quickly. After this stage, it'll be more difficult to increase as we go on. There's even a possibility that we'll be stuck at 99% for the rest of her life."
"Oh, I see."
Ling Yi did a simple calculation in his heart.
A 60% compatibility would increase all of Ling 'Er's attributes to 60%. If Ling' Er's attributes were 500, then after Ling 'Er entered Lin Shurou's body, Lin Shurou's attributes would increase by 300!
With such high attributes and her Water-type combat Skills, she had a chance of winning the regional ranking.
Seeing Ling Yi in deep thought, Lin Shurou explained, "With Ling 'Er's help, I think I can give it a try. If I can reach the invincible stage, then I won't be killed so quickly in the future when we face an invincible enemy."
"This… I don't think it matters, you're my Support anyway."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Shurou rolled her eyes and said in a serious tone, "The damage of an invincible player is 10 times that of a normal player, but a normal player can only deal 10% of the original damage to an invincible player. The difference is huge!"
"I know. It's because of this huge gap that it's called the invincible level… Forget it. Don't listen to me. At the end of the day, it's up to you."
"Oh right," Ling Yi added, "Since you've improved your strength to this level, come with me to fight the main road Boss when the sun rises."
"Ah, no problem!" Lin Shurou readily agreed!
…
When the sun rose and the two of them were still eating breakfast, the doorbell outside the courtyard rang.
Ling Yi walked out of the house and into the courtyard. Through the gap of the large metal door, he saw the Phoenix Sword Saint, Nangong Li, standing outside.
When the other party saw him, she directly said to him outside the big iron gate, "You discovered the function of the statue in the secret realm. I'm here to give you a reward."
"Oh?"
Hearing that they were here to deliver his reward, Ling Yi immediately quickened his pace and went to open the gate.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Li smiled and continued, "After some discussion, the higher-ups have decided to reward you with a total of one million gold coins,"
"With these, you wouldn't have to be worried about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
She stretched out her hand, and an interspatial bag appeared on her palm.
"There,"
She passed the spatial bag to Ling Yi and said, "There's a million gold coins in here. The interspatial bag is my gift to you."
"Ah? This…"
"Take it, I still have questions for you."
Ling Yi's mouth twitched.
He knew it. Things like giving rewards could be directly posted on the forum chat interface. Why did the general from the headquarters have to come personally?
"What is it?" He asked as he took the interspatial bag.
"It's not a big deal. It's just some personal issues, just that…"
Her red eyes quickly glanced around, and a hint of gossip appeared on her delicate face. She asked in a low voice, "What's your relationship with Yunji? "
"Huh?"
"Wasn't she always with you in the dungeon? Don't tell me you don't know each other."
"Oh, yes… Good friend and neighbor, I guess."
"You guess? You're not sure?"
"The future is uncertain."
"So it's like that…"
Nangong Li nodded her head thoughtfully, then waved her hand and left.
