130: Boss Lin, how do you choose the nightmare difficulty?
Lin Ling suddenly disengaged from his stealth state.
At this moment, his two sword-like eyebrows pointed diagonally towards the sky, and a cold glint flickered in his eyes, which were like a sea of stars.
For a moment, many girls were captivated.
“Who is this person? I haven’t seen him before.”
“He’s so handsome. This batch of new recruits doesn’t have this young man.”
“Could he be an upperclassman from the previous year?”
Several girls whispered among themselves as they watched Lin Ling walk in.
Left Rush, on the other hand, frowned slightly; he didn’t recognize Lin Ling either.
But he was sure this person was definitely not a veteran, yet his Peeping Skill failed, which made him more vigilant.
“Who are you?” Left Rush asked tentatively.
However, at this moment, Ji Mo’s eyes suddenly lit up with ecstasy.
“Boss!”
He instantly transformed into a wind-like youth and rushed towards Lin Ling.
“Boss, I missed you so much.”
“I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”
“Wahahaha…”
“Boss, are you here to take us leveling?”
Ji Mo unleashed a barrage of excited words at Lin Ling.
Lin Ling placed a hand on his face, pushing him away, and said with a smile, “Don’t cling to me. Today, I’m taking you guys to level 60.”
As soon as he said this, both the Heavenly Court and Underworld teams simultaneously erupted in cheers.
“Boss is mighty!”
“Great, wahahaha… I, Shang Biao, am about to reach Three Turns.”
“God Lin, if Meng Yan Jie wasn’t here, I’d definitely rush over and kiss you.”
“If you want to kiss him, go ahead. I’m not anything to him.”
“Hahahaha… Who was muttering all day about that smelly guy not coming back yet?”
The group was instantly engulfed in laughter, but suddenly, a discordant voice rang out in the Mission Temple.
“I thought it was a brother unit coming over? Didn’t expect it to be a new recruit. Level 60? You’re really talking big without fear of biting your tongue!”
Ji Mo frowned, turning to look, and it was indeed Left Rush who spoke.
“This is my Boss. Watch your tone. If my Boss wanted to, he could wipe out your entire team by himself!”
Ji Mo said coldly. Lin Ling had long been like a deity in his heart, and he would not allow anyone to defile him.
“Hahahaha… Him?”
Left Rush’s eyes were full of disdain, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
At this moment, a middle-aged military officer passed by the entrance of the Mission Temple and happened to see the tense situation inside.
“What are you doing?”
The officer’s face was stern, and he immediately shouted loudly.
His name was Li Yong, a Six Turns warrior, and a squadron leader of the Dragon Nest People's Army’s Capital Guard Team.
“Li Dui, this year we are responsible for leading the new recruits, and this kid suddenly appeared. He said he would take everyone to level 60 in one night.”
Left Rush’s heart rejoiced when he saw the newcomer, and he immediately saluted.
“Don’t be foolish. Do you think this is like when you first awakened? Don’t waste time; let Left Rush take you leveling.”
Li Yong said sternly to Lin Ling and his group.
“No need. You go about your business. I’ve got the new recruits covered this year,” Lin Ling said.
“Oh ho?” Li Yong looked Lin Ling up and down and said, “This year’s new recruits are quite arrogant.”
Lin Ling said, “This is confidence. I’m best at clearing dungeons.”
“Just you? I think you’re delusionally confident and just asking for a beating,” Left Rush said coldly.
Lin Ling’s lips curved slightly, but he ignored Left Rush’s blatant provocation.
He had already “killed” a Seven Turns Grand Magus once. These Dragon Nest Warriors truly didn't pique his interest as opponents.
He turned to look at the new recruits and slowly said, “I’ll take you to clear dungeons. 200 points, and you’ll be level 60 tonight.”
However, as soon as he spoke, several black lines appeared on Li Yong’s forehead, clearly indicating his dislike for Lin Ling’s arrogant personality.
Meanwhile, the veterans nearby were already roaring with laughter.
“Hahahaha… Brothers, did you hear that? He wants to take all new recruits to level 60 in one night?”
“He’s really not afraid of the wind blowing too hard and biting his tongue.”
“Noobs, do you believe him or us?”
In the eyes of these veterans, no matter how strong Lin Ling was, he was still just a new recruit.
After Two Turns, leveling became increasingly difficult. In the past ten years, the most outstanding new recruit was Bai Zhi from the previous year.
But even Bai Zhi only reached Three Turns after a month.
Reaching level 60 in one night was pure fantasy to these old veterans.
At this moment, the new recruits also had disbelief written all over their faces. In their eyes, Lin Ling was nothing more than someone who used connections.
How strong could someone who used connections be, even if they were strong? They were all geniuses who had fought their way through.
In a nearby team, a girl named Zhong Miaomao suddenly widened her eyes as she listened to Lin Ling’s words.
She had participated in the battle against the Black Mountain Bottom Old Demon, and the sight of Lin Ling madly throwing Forbidden Spell Scrolls was deeply etched in her mind.
“He wouldn’t be planning to use Forbidden Spell Scrolls to level people up, would he?”
“If so, he’ll definitely clear the Nightmare difficulty dungeon.”
She thought to herself, and immediately felt a surge of excitement.
“I’m willing to give you 200 points.”
Zhong Miaomao said, and directly stood behind Lin Ling.
This scene instantly caused a flicker of surprise in the eyes of the other new recruits.
Wasn’t Lin Ling the one who got in through connections?
What was going on with Zhong Miaomao?
Did Zhong Miaomao know some inside information?
Immediately, someone stepped forward and whispered to Zhong Miaomao.
Soon, everyone knew that Lin Ling was going to use Forbidden Spell Scrolls to clear dungeons.
“Lin Laoda, I’m willing too. Please take me.”
“Lin Laoda, count me in too, hehe, all the points are yours.”
Before long, all the new recruits present stood behind Lin Ling.
For them, whether Lin Ling had real skill or not was truly unimportant at this moment.
They absolutely could not miss an opportunity like this, to reach level 60 overnight.
At the same time, many of them had never seen what a Forbidden Spell looked like in their lives.
For them, spending 200 points to witness a Forbidden Spell Scroll was also a very worthwhile thing.
But their choice at this moment instantly made Left Rush and the others’ faces fall.
Lin Ling didn’t say much and immediately walked to the mission stele to create a team.
His gaze fell on the mission record list.
[Normal Difficulty Record Holder: Ling Qiye, Time: 8 minutes 42 seconds.]
[Hard Difficulty Record Holder: Bai Zhi, Time: 18 minutes 12 seconds.]
[Nightmare Difficulty Record Holder: Bai Zhi, Time: 1 hour 36 minutes 03 seconds.]
“Dragon Nest truly has hidden talents. Bai Zhi, Old Jiang seemed to have mentioned this person.”
Lin Ling thought to himself, then turned around and said, “You guys can join the team.”
Soon, a full 16 players applied to join the team.
“What difficulty do you think Lin Ling will choose?”
“Most likely Hard, wouldn’t Normal difficulty be a waste of Forbidden Spell Scrolls?”
“That’s true, with so many of us, the difficulty is high, but Hard difficulty should be fine.”
Several new recruits whispered, but the next second, they saw Lin Ling’s finger tap on Nightmare difficulty.
“Holy crap, did Lin Laoda make a mistake? Why is it Nightmare?”
“My goodness, it’s really Nightmare difficulty.”
A series of exclamations rang out, only Zhong Miaomao’s eyes were full of anticipation; she had long guessed that Lin Ling would choose Nightmare.
Just as Lin Ling was about to enter the dungeon, Left Rush suddenly shouted, “Wait a moment.”
Lin Ling turned around.
“Kid, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Even we old-timers can’t clear Nightmare difficulty. You should choose Hard difficulty instead,” Left Rush said.
Hearing his words, Li Yong, who was not far away, immediately cast a look of approval.
“Right, right, right!” Lin Ling said indifferently.
“What kind of attitude is that?” Left Rush saw Lin Ling’s perfunctory manner and immediately flew into a rage.
“What attitude? Just because you can’t clear it, why do you think I can’t either?” Lin Ling said with a smile.
A hint of mockery flashed in Left Rush’s eyes. “Since you’re so confident, do you dare to make a bet with me?”
