129: When I go to the divine realm, I will be the scourge of the divine realm.
Outside the War God Hall.
"Ten billion, spend it wisely."
Jiang Shan Yi said in a huff.
Lin Ling, however, happily looked at the 16 billion dragon coins balance on his phone, a faint smile gracing his face.
"Smile! What are you smiling about?!" Jiang Shan Yi's face was filled with displeasure. "If I hadn't given you the chance, your armor with only 10 million HP wouldn't have lasted even half a second."
"Anyway, a dignified Grand Magus was blasted by me," Lin Ling continued to smile.
"How about we find a place and have another round?" Jiang Shan Yi looked at the mischievous smile on Lin Ling's face and couldn't help but want to punch him.
"No fighting! It wastes mana," Lin Ling muttered softly.
"No fighting is not an option, we must fight."
Jiang Shan Yi raised his hand and pointed directly in front of Lin Ling, who was instantly frozen in place.
Time around him fell into absolute stillness.
"Hehehe..."
Bang bang bang!!!
Ten minutes later.
Time flow resumed, and Lin Ling was already black and blue.
"Old man, you're so dishonorable," Lin Ling pointed at Jiang Shan Yi and yelled.
But Jiang Shan Yi was all smiles, his brows filled with satisfaction.
Their moods had completely swapped compared to half an hour ago.
However, while Lin Ling's words were sharp, he didn't hold too much resentment towards Jiang Shan Yi in his heart.
Regardless of the reason, he could feel that Jiang Shan Yi was truly helping him.
Being beaten by a Seven Turns Grand Magus wasn't exactly shameful.
"Kid, there are a few things I need to tell you," Jiang Shan Yi took out a magic scroll.
As the scroll unfurled, a green light enveloped Lin Ling, and his injuries instantly healed.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and release your farts quickly if you have any," Lin Ling put on an ungrateful expression.
"First, let me remind you, never think that your talent is good and become arrogant. The Divine Realm is much more complex than you imagine," Jiang Shan Yi's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Complex?" Lin Ling's eyes showed confusion. Wasn't the Divine Realm just about fighting monsters and leveling up? He didn't feel it was complex anywhere.
"It's not just our Blue Star that has merged with the Divine Realm. There are countless intelligent lifeforms in the boundless universe, and it's not just our human civilization that has been merged by the Divine Realm game," Jiang Shan Yi said solemnly.
"You mean the legendary Divine Realm has many other civilizations?" Lin Ling caught on quickly, immediately understanding Jiang Shan Yi's meaning.
Jiang Shan Yi's eyes showed a hint of relief. "Although we Seven Turns guys claim to have entered the Divine Realm, we've actually only explored the area near the passage. To truly walk on the Divine Realm continent, one must at least reach Nine Revolution, but Nine Revolution is just the lowest layer of the Divine Realm.
For the many civilizations covered by the entire Divine Realm, Blue Star's century of integration is truly too young. Therefore, you must never think you are Invincible. Blue Star's highest talent awakening is only SSS-grade, but many other civilizations have a Divine-grade awakening limit.
When you grow a bit more, it will be time to improve your mental strength. Mental strength is the most important attribute for a Professional besides the four-dimensional attributes."
After listening to Jiang Shan Yi, Lin Ling's eyes grew even more fervent. The Divine Realm was too far away for him, but that didn't stop him from longing for that land full of powerful individuals.
Currently, he indeed had no right to be arrogant, but when he reached Nine Revolution, when he stepped into the Divine Realm, he would be a natural disaster for the Divine Realm.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. Dragon Nest performed surgery on the Zhao Family," Jiang Shan Yi said again.
Lin Ling suddenly looked at Jiang Shan Yi. Dragon Nest's actions were even faster than he expected.
"How was it? From your tone, it doesn't seem to have gone smoothly?" Lin Ling asked.
Jiang Shan Yi nodded. "We only caught Zhao Erhu and a bunch of insignificant clan members. Zhao Long City and Zhao Yijun's father, Zhao Dahu, disappeared. Someone inside the War God Hall must have tipped them off. It seems necessary for you to cooperate with us in a play."
A hint of seriousness flashed in Lin Ling's eyes. Jiang Shan Yi mentioned the War God Hall, not Dragon Nest, which meant the person who tipped them off held a high position.
If the roots are not removed, the weeds will grow again.
Two people escaping might cause him some trouble. As for acting, if there were benefits to be gained, it was completely fine.
"What level of Professionals are Zhao Long City and Zhao Dahu?" Lin Ling asked.
Jiang Shan Yi rubbed his temples. "Both are Six-turn peak. Zhao Dahu might already be Seven Turns. He went to Australia when he was level 179 and hasn't shown his face since he came back.
Zhao Long City is hard to say, but the possibility of breaking through to Seven Turns is low. The Hall Master speculates they might make a move on you, so it's best you don't run around these days."
A cold glint flashed in Lin Ling's eyes. "Old Jiang, do you think they can pose a threat to me?"
Jiang Shan Yi's expression became somewhat serious. "Lin Ling, never be careless. They will definitely not challenge you openly."
"I understand, Old Jiang."
After Lin Ling spoke, both fell silent.
A moment later, Lin Ling asked again, "How is Xiao Corporation doing?"
"Xiao Family?" Jiang Shan Yi pondered slightly. "Xiao Ya of Xiao Corporation disappeared along with billions of funds. Xiao Family's industries have mostly been swallowed by Jis Consortium."
"Xiao Ya?"
Lin Ling pondered slightly.
In his previous life, this Xiao Ya had a major incident a few years later. Lin Ling didn't pay attention to what happened, only knowing that she seemed to have killed many people.
Lin Ling had no good feelings for this woman. As long as she didn't provoke Lin Ling, Lin Ling wouldn't go looking for her.
If she decided to do something foolish...
A hint of ferocity instantly flashed in Lin Ling's eyes.
"Brother Old Jiang, is that Indian Shenyou available in reality?" Lin Ling suddenly asked.
"What Indian Shenyou? Are you talking about the Instant Recovery Shenyou? That's a unique potion of Dragon Nest, not available for purchase outside. You can only exchange it with points," Jiang Shan Yi pouted.
"Hehehe... Then can I..."
"No way. Go exchange it yourself. Why do you always want freebies at such a young age?"
Lin Ling was interrupted by Jiang Shan Yi before he could finish speaking.
"I'm just poor, and I don't have any points," Lin Ling said with a sheepish smile.
"I have a mission here, do you want to take it? You can earn a batch of points," Jiang Shan Yi looked like an old fox, staring at Lin Ling as he asked.
"What mission?" Lin Ling asked.
"Your level is too high compared to other newcomers. Help me raise their levels. For every person who levels up by 10, I'll give you 1000 points," Jiang Shan Yi said with a smile.
"How many points is one bottle of Shenyou? What's the exchange rate between dragon coins and points?" Lin Ling asked with interest.
"One point per bottle. One point can be exchanged for one million dragon coins. Bringing one person up 10 levels means earning 1 billion. You consider it yourself, there's only one chance."
At this moment, Jiang Shan Yi seemed to have Lin Ling completely figured out.
What he didn't see was Lin Ling slightly lowering his head, his eyes darting around, a hint of cunning instantly flashing through them.
"Alright, deal. I'll go now! But can I get some points in advance?"
Lin Ling asked with a sheepish smile.
"Here's 2000 points for you. Use them sparingly. Others can't even earn 1000 points in a year," Jiang Shan Yi said.
"Thank you very much, you're truly a good person."
Lin Ling said, then turned to leave.
"Wait!" Jiang Shan Yi raised his hand to stop Lin Ling. "Brat, if you go there wearing a full set of silver-grade equipment, won't you completely crush their confidence? Come, let me spray some color on you!"
Jiang Shan Yi said, and a can of colored spray appeared in his hand. With a few sprays, Lin Ling's equipment turned into camouflage.
This was a special colored spray item unique after the Great Fusion. Many people in Dragon Nest wore equipment sprayed with this stuff.
It could both conceal one's figure and provide fire and theft protection.
"Kid, go ahead. They're at the Mission Temple. Also, remember to report tomorrow night at 12 AM," Jiang Shan Yi reminded him.
Lin Ling didn't look back, extending his right hand and waving it above his head, then his figure vanished from where he stood.
Dragon Nest Mission Temple.
Many teams were quietly waiting for dungeon cooldowns in the hall.
All members who joined Dragon Nest could level up here.
The experience dungeons in the Mission Temple were a unique benefit for top-tier guilds.
The experience dungeons had a very large number of monsters, in addition to extra experience bonuses.
Each person could open three experience dungeons a day, and one dungeon could accommodate up to fifty people at most.
Experience dungeons were similar to Abyss Dungeon; the more people in the team, the more monsters in the dungeon.
Killing monsters granted experience, and completing the dungeon still awarded experience.
This led to experience dungeons being very popular in Dragon Nest, especially when new recruits joined each year.
Of course, there was also an unwritten rule that had existed for many years.
Every year when new recruits arrived, veterans would come to help them with dungeons for a fee.
Because every new recruit who made it out of the tryouts received at least 200 points as a reward.
These points were extremely tempting for the veterans.
And at this moment, several battle-hardened veterans in camouflage stood beside Ji Mo.
One of them, a tall, burly, dark-skinned young warrior, was speaking to Ji Mo:
"Second Young Master Ji, don't make things difficult for me. It's a rule for veterans to guide newcomers; we all went through it this way. Now only you nine haven't agreed. Hand over your points quickly, don't waste everyone's time."
This person was named Left Rush, a Professional Mage with S+ talent, not far from Five-turn.
"I don't want to waste words. I said we don't need it," Ji Mo said coldly, a foxtail grass stalk dangling from his mouth.
Their points belonged only to Lin Ling.
No one would take even a single point from them.
And at this moment, a group of newcomers not far away also looked unwilling but dared not retort.
It took them about an hour to clear a normal difficulty dungeon by themselves, and each person could level up about half a level.
These battle-hardened veterans charged 50 points per person per run for clearing hard difficulty dungeons.
Although one clear could grant one level, it felt somewhat not worth it for them.
"Ji Mo, we're giving you face, and you're not taking it, are you? This is Dragon Nest, not your Jis Consortium. No one's got your back here!"
A warrior beside Left Rush seemed to have run out of patience and roared loudly at Ji Mo.
However, no sooner had he spoken than a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
At the same time, a somewhat cold voice sounded behind him.
"Hey, BOY, they are under my protection. I am Lin Ling."
PS: Thank you for all the gifts and reminders to update, Xiao Kui has seen them all, thank you everyone.
