56: Personnel selected to enter the Abyss dungeon

Lin Ling immediately used Heros Eye on Big Head Jun's retreating figure.

“These attributes are quite impressive for an ordinary person.”

Lin Ling’s lips curled slightly; clearly, he was not an ordinary person.

Big Head Jun, who was leading the way, quickly arrived at the deep well.

There, a black, swirling portal floated in the air, like the gaping maw of a ferocious beast.

The first clear of a hidden Abyss Dungeon must involve the person who discovered it; after clearing any difficulty, others can enter freely.

At this moment, Big Head Jun reluctantly sent Lin Ling a team invitation, and Lin Ling quickly joined the party.

“Do you three want to come along? If so, each of you transfer me one million dragon coins within three days.”

Lin Ling suddenly looked at Feng Zhi, Shang Biao, and An Yi. He was confident that no one else could clear this Abyss Dungeon in the short term except him.

And not being taken advantage of was Lin Ling’s bottom line.

As soon as he spoke, the three of them were startled, and then their faces lit up with wild joy.

Although their family backgrounds were not wealthy and they didn't have much savings now, there were many posts online about first-clearing Abyss Dungeons.

It was said that first-clearing an Abyss Dungeon would yield very high rewards; even the unluckiest person could get equipment worth several million.

“Big shot, can we join too?”

Among the three, An Yi was the youngest. Hearing this, he was so excited he nearly jumped up.

Shang Biao and Feng Zhi also looked excited, but they only nodded vigorously.

Only Big Head Jun’s face instantly darkened.

“Did I agree to let these three pieces of trash clear the Abyss Dungeon with us?” Big Head Jun scowled and coldly snapped.

Damn it, it’s my Abyss Dungeon, and you’re already making money from it.

However, one of Zhang Meng’s hands landed on Big Head Jun’s shoulder.

“If you want to get the first clear reward, listen to Lin Ling.”

A strange look flashed in Big Head Jun’s eyes. He looked at Zhang Meng with extreme surprise, as if trying to discern if he was joking from his expression.

But he was quickly disappointed; Zhang Meng’s expression showed no hint of a joke.

“Give me a reason. Are you very familiar with him? Why are you siding with him so much?” Big Head Jun narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Meng was slightly stunned. He couldn’t just say he knew Lin Ling’s background and was waiting to cling to his coattails in the future.

Once Lin Ling’s identity was exposed, he would definitely enter Dragon Nest, and it was highly probable he would go directly into the core.

In the future, he might very well become a big shot in the Dragon Nation.

“Anyway, you can’t get through, and the result is more convincing than the reason,” Zhang Meng said.

“Tch, aren’t you just trying to get me to show them around the Abyss Dungeon? Zhang Meng, remember you owe me a favor.”

Big Head Jun sneered and sent team invitations to the three of them.

“Activate Abyss Dungeon, select Easy difficulty!”

A faint light glowed, and the five disappeared instantly from their original spot.

...

Jinwei Base City.

Ji Family.

“Old man, how is it? Are the materials all here?”

Ji Mo looked at the middle-aged man who walked in and asked impatiently.

After he returned last night, he went straight to the specialized temple.

What he didn’t expect was to draw a Five-star difficulty transfer mission.

He needed to collect five extremely rare materials to complete the transfer.

However, these five materials could not be bought on the market even with money.

These materials were all controlled by the state; unless his father intervened, he would not be able to complete the transfer mission at all.

After Ji Father learned that his son had reached Level 30 overnight, he immediately went to prepare the transfer materials for him, but he still hadn't brought the materials back even by dawn.

“These are the four materials you need; I’ve already taken care of them for you! For the last one, you’ll have to figure it out yourself; I can’t help you with that either.”

Ji Liancheng said, directly throwing out four materials.

Ji Mo: “Dad, these materials are all controlled by the government. How am I supposed to get them?”

Ji Liancheng: “This last material is only produced in the First Emperor’s Mausoleum Abyss Dungeon in Chang’an Base City.”

Ji Mo’s face instantly fell. “That’s an Abyss Dungeon only 6th Rank powerhouses can enter.”

“I’m not telling you to enter. The Mayor of Chang’an Base City said that this year, Chang’an Base City produced an SS-Talent archer, but after that child successfully awakened, he went home to herd sheep.

He rejected recruitment from all forces; even Dragon Nest directly stepping forward was rejected by him.

He has excellent talent but is unwilling to level up or leave the mountains.

Your Uncle Zhiyuan said that unless you can get that brat to leave the mountains, the materials are out of the question,” Ji Liancheng said, rubbing his brow.

Ji Mo, however, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly widened his eyes.

“That kid wouldn’t happen to be named Wang Yilin, would he?” Ji Mo blurted out.

“How did you know?” Ji Liancheng showed an incredulous expression.

The expression on Ji Mo’s face suddenly became incredibly colorful.

The shepherd boy Lin Ling had been sponsoring for three years called himself Happy Brother, and his real name was Wang Yilin.

“You don’t need to worry about how I know; I’ll handle this matter.”

Ji Mo said, then turned and ran outside.

With Lin Ling’s thick and powerful leg to lean on, why would that kid not obediently listen?

If it really didn’t work, he’d just use his glib tongue to coax him back.

An SS-Class Fighter Jet instantly took off and flew towards Chang’an Base City.

...

At this moment, the entire senior management of the Xiao Corporation was gathered at the Headquarters in Autumn Wild Blue Cloth City.

Not long ago, the patriarch, Xiao Yuanshan, received a call stating that if he paid a 2 billion ransom, he could redeem his son.

After a video call with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yuanshan immediately transferred the money.

Now, he was just waiting for his son to return safely. Although he was a Five-turn Archmage, he only had these twin dragon and phoenix children at seventy, and his beloved son's life was more important than anything.

“Patriarch, young master is back!”

A loud shout came from outside the door.

The next second, Xiao Yan walked in from outside, his face grim.

“Yan’er!”

“Dad, I’m fine! Dragon Nest took me in for questioning, took some statements, and after I explained some things, they sent me back,” Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Yuanshan immediately felt relieved upon hearing this.

“It’s good that you’re fine. The kidnappers didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?” Xiao Yuanshan asked.

Xiao Yan looked around, and Xiao Yuanshan immediately understood.

“You all may leave.”

The people in the room immediately left the office.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Yuanshan asked.

“Dad, I defected…”

Xiao Yan recounted everything he had experienced.

Xiao Yuanshan immediately fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, a ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Yuanshan’s eyes.

“Yan’er, it’s fine. Dad will make some preparations in advance. If things go wrong, we’ll take the money and directly immigrate to America, seeking political asylum. There have been so many traitors throughout history; one more family like ours won’t make a difference. It’s good that you’ve returned safely,” Xiao Yuanshan said.

Xiao Yan nodded excitedly, “Dad, I want to continue leveling up and push for the Newcomer Championship! Only by completing the master’s task can I gain importance in America.”

Xiao Father was slightly startled, feeling very pleased in his heart.

“Good, I’ll arrange two Four-turn teams to protect you and help you level up. Dragon Nest will also arrange a Six-turn powerhouse to personally protect your safety as an apology.”

Xiao Yan nodded, and suddenly, a ferocious look appeared on his face.

“Dad, get me a set of orange equipment, and also a Forbidden Spell Scroll for self-defense.”

Xiao Yuanshan was stunned upon hearing this.

Orange equipment was easy enough to get; although it was a bit wasteful to get a legendary set before Three-turn, if his son wanted it, it would just cost a few hundred million at most.

But a Forbidden Spell Scroll was not that simple.

The state strictly controlled Forbidden Spell Scrolls; their Xiao Corporation could possess one, but the approval process would be a bit troublesome.

But then he thought of his son nearly dying in the wilderness, and a fierce glint immediately flashed in his eyes.

“Okay, Dad will get them all for you. If you encounter any threats, just use it. I’ll take care of anything that happens.”

After Xiao Yuanshan finished speaking, he immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare.

The saying “money makes the mare go” always worked. In just a few minutes, Xiao Yuanshan had prepared the equipment and the scroll.

When a golden Forbidden Spell Scroll was in his hand, Xiao Yan felt as if his whole being had been elevated.

He tightly gripped the Forbidden Spell Scroll, and Lin Ling’s image, wielding a large hammer and looking down from above, involuntarily reappeared in his eyes.

“Lin Ling, this time I truly possess a Forbidden Spell Scroll. This is a treasure that can unleash Forbidden Spells. What will you use to fight me? The day I return to Xuanfu Base City will be the day I trample you underfoot.”
