12: I'm trying to get some experience, and you're shooting me with a laser cannon?

Lin Ling was currently Level 10, and his storage space had increased to 20 cubic meters.

Although he didn't care for these white and blue-grade items, every little bit helped, as the resources needed to craft his exclusive weapon would be astronomical.

To Lin Ling's surprise, in addition to a large amount of materials, he also dropped eight skill scrolls.

The drop rate for skill books in the beginner area was pitifully low, especially for warrior, mage, and Archer skill books, which were incredibly rare.

The fact that Lin Ling only dropped eight skill scrolls after killing monsters within a hundred-mile radius with a Forbidden Spell was enough to explain everything.

"I hope I can get a mage skill book. Any type, as long as it's for a mage, will do."

Lin Ling muttered to himself and immediately began opening the skill scrolls.

"Skill scroll opened successfully. Obtained Life Professional skill book: "Argon Arc Welding.""

"Skill scroll opened successfully. Obtained Life Professional skill book: "Castrating Pigs.""

"Skill scroll opened successfully. Obtained Auxiliary Combat Professional skill book: "Light of Purification.""

"Light of Purification, a Priest skill book. This one's good." Lin Ling's lips curled slightly upward as he continued opening them.

"Skill scroll opened successfully. Obtained Life Professional skill book: "Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs.""

"Skill scroll opened successfully. Obtained Combat Professional skill book: "Archery Mastery.""

"An Archer skill book. It can sell for at least one million."

Lin Ling's eyes lit up, and he opened all the remaining skill scrolls in one go.

"Obtained Life Professional..."

"Obtained Life Professional..."

"Skill scroll opened successfully. Obtained Combat Professional skill book: "Overlord Body.""

"My luck isn't bad; I got another Warrior skill book, but unfortunately, no mage skill book."

Lin Ling frowned slightly. Without a mage skill book, he couldn't continue naming his skills.

Should he continue casting All Things Grow?

He was afraid that continuously using Undead-type Forbidden Spells would cause the entire Base City to fall into panic.

"Forget it, I'll go to the Trading House later to see if I can buy a mage skill book."

He put all the skill books into his storage space and immediately began quickly picking up other items on the ground. A moment later, the ground was empty.

More than five hundred pieces of equipment filled his storage space to the brim.

"Tip: Please collect the materials as soon as possible to unseal your level! Required materials: Wild Boar Tusks 99/10, Slime Saliva 125/10, warring states red Agate Raw Stone 0/1."

"Unsealing actually requires warring states red? This stuff might be hard to buy."

Lin Ling said, quickly taking out his phone and checking on an e-commerce APP called Yunmeng.

However, he couldn't find any information about warring states red.

"Within three months of every Awakening Day, people will hoard materials for second-tier advancements. This warring states red is also one of the second-tier materials, so it seems it's been hoarded. I can only go back to the Yunmeng Trading House in the city and try my luck."

warring states red agate is a rare mineral unique to Xuanfu Base City. It doesn't drop from monsters; there's only a very small chance of finding it by mining.

The Yunmeng Trading House is a branch company of the Yunmeng Group, the largest financial group in Dragon Country.

It is not only the leader in e-commerce but also a prominent figure among physical Professional trading merchants.

Lin Ling immediately decided to return to the city.

Normal monsters in the beginner area respawn every hour, so staying in the wilderness now was a waste of time.

Moreover, once discovered, it would be impossible to explain.

Lin Ling directly used a Wind Scroll, increasing his speed by 50%. He instantly turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the Base City.

At a speed of 97.5 yards, it only took about 1 second to cover 100 meters. If it weren't for the scroll's passive effect of automatically avoiding obstacles, a single tree could have taken Lin Ling's life.

Not long after, Lin Ling saw Qin Xuan, the Undead Summoner, hiding behind a large rock again.

He didn't stop, zipping past Qin Xuan and instantly leaving the Wild Boar Forest.

Qin Xuan, however, looked at the small Skeleton Warrior beside him in a daze.

"Did something just run past?"

The small Skeleton Archer immediately shook its head, indicating that it couldn't see clearly without eyeballs.

Qin Xuan scratched his head, and the confusion on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of wild joy.

He looked left and right, confirmed there was no one else, and immediately took out two items from his storage space.

One of these two items glowed golden, and the other glowed blue.

Qin Xuan immediately looked at the golden item: a yellowish piece of parchment wrapped with several black threads.

"Directional Teleportation Scroll"

"Category: One-time Teleportation Tool"

"Item Details: Randomly teleports in a specified direction, random distance."

"Level Requirement: None"

"Gods bless me, I'm rich! This is definitely a good item. If I remember correctly, I once saw someone buying this for 100,000 dragon coins. It's definitely a life-saving artifact."

Qin Xuan said, then turned his gaze to the blue-glowing boots.

"Quality Mage Boots (Blue)"

"Category: Apparel"

"Level Requirement: 10"

"Durability 100/100"

"Intelligence +5"

"Accuracy +2%"

"Additional Effect: None"

"Top-tier! I got a top-tier item! I told you I was a European Emperor! This is definitely the favor of the Gods. Mage-exclusive shoes that can be worn at Level 10. When I wear these, I'll be able to strut around the beginner area.

That Lin Ling, if he knew how lucky I am, he'd probably regret it and cry himself to death in the small forest. Speaking of Lin Ling, I wonder how he's doing. May the Gods bless him."

Qin Xuan said, hugging the mage boots and kissing them fiercely before putting them away.

Not long ago, a large number of Undead creatures suddenly appeared, and Qin Xuan, hiding behind the rock, was also scared half to death.

But his Skeleton Archer would not feel fear. It continuously shot arrows, attacking the wild boars.

When the Undead army launched an attack on the monsters, the little Skeleton also blended in and killed monsters with them.

It had to be said that Qin Xuan's luck was definitely far beyond ordinary. The arrows shot by the small Skeleton actually managed to land the last hit on the wild boars more than ten times.

It was these more than ten kills that allowed Qin Xuan to not only level up twice but also drop two pieces of equipment.

How low was the drop rate for equipment? Yet, on him, it was as if it didn't exist at all. If he told others about this drop rate, no one would believe him. How could this not make him ecstatic?

Just as Qin Xuan clenched his fists and shouted "Oli Ge!"

A silver-white triangular fighter jet suddenly appeared above the Wild Boar Forest.

Circles of light waves fell from the bottom of the fighter jet, seemingly scanning something.

The fighter jet scanned rapidly and quickly discovered a Skeleton Warrior peeking out from behind a large rock at the edge of the Wild Boar Forest, looking up at the sky.

"Undead creature detected. Initiating thermal imaging scan."

"Scan complete. Suspicious human found behind rock at coordinates 1261, 3752. Target suspected of using a concealment item to hide aura. Scan shows target level not exceeding 10."

"Damn Undead Archmage actually concealed his energy! Charge the Super Energy Laser Cannon!"

"Charging complete. Preparing to fire..."

A blue light spot lit up at the bottom of the triangular fighter jet, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

Behind the rock targeted by the laser cannon, Qin Xuan instantly discovered the triangular fighter jet above through the Skeleton Warrior's vision.

He suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Damn it, I just used a small Skeleton to exploit a loophole and leech some experience, and you're going to blast me with a laser cannon?

At this moment, ten thousand grass-mud horses galloped through his mind.

At the same time, he suppressed the urge to spit blood and activated the teleportation scroll that hadn't even warmed up in his hands yet.

A blue light glowed, and as the laser cannon descended, Qin Xuan's figure instantly vanished from his original spot.

On the triangular fighter jet.

"Space teleportation fluctuations detected. Target has escaped."

Hearing the fighter jet's intelligent report, all the military officers in the fighter jet breathed a sigh of relief. Able to teleport, he was indeed a Grand Magus.

"Base City, this is Leizhenzi. Detected enemy Undead Archmage. Target has teleported away..."

"Base received!"

Soon, all residents of Xuanfu Base City simultaneously received a public announcement.

"Notification: Danger removed. All beginner area leveling teams awaiting monster respawn."

Lin Ling, who had been traveling at high speed, couldn't help but raise a hand to rub his nose as he saw the notification appear before him.

He never expected that someone would take the blame for him and almost get blasted to death by a laser cannon.
