Dusty Rolls-Royce

Yang Jian, on his side, dawdled for a long time.

Midway, he logged back in and devoured two more blue-grade items before finally embarking on his Blood Moon journey tonight.

He couldn't get quests at night.

In fact, not just at night, there weren't many quests during the day either.

The most criticized aspect of the game salvation was its quest system!

Since he didn't know what else to do, he decided to head to the coast and clear out the Murloc villages along the shoreline!

After all, opening the various treasure chests in the Murloc settlements was quite exhilarating.

And most importantly, Murloc villages were densely populated, making it easy for a Boss to be hidden among them!

He acted on his impulse.

Yang Jian, accompanied by Mo Song, first meticulously sorted out their backpacks.

Yang Jian tossed all the meat into Mo Song's backpack.

After all, it was already a mature dog and could feed itself!

However, he still needed to find some time to learn cooking.

After all, eating cooked food meant Mo Song would be full with just one piece.

Raw meat, on the other hand, required many pieces!

Moreover, with Mo Song's intelligence, it didn't actually like eating raw meat; it just used to bark, and Yang Jian didn't understand... Now that there were the conditions, if he still fed it raw meat...

What the hell did he mean by that?

Did he want his favorability to drop?

Yang Jian checked his attributes and talent.

Aside from being a bit mentally challenged, there were almost no other problems!

The main issue was that the intelligence attribute was truly useless right now.

Others might have mana anxiety, but Yang Jian could almost conquer everything with a set of basic attacks.

When fighting a Boss, Viper Sting could even occasionally siphon some mana!

It was generally enough... But honestly, without opening the personal panel, he wouldn't have known the magnitude of the attribute gap!

Perhaps he should wait until his talent hit a bottleneck, then spend some time raising his intelligence attribute!

It really seemed lacking!

“Hey, Xiao Mo, can you wear equipment?”

Awoo... A long wolf howl made Yang Jian a bit confused!

“Why don't you say it more simply! Our ‘Telepathy’ skill isn't trained enough yet!”

‘Cannot!’

“If you had said that earlier, I would have understood!”

Knowing it couldn't, he temporarily set aside the issue of equipment for it.

As for why it couldn't, they could discuss it later when they could communicate fluently.

Transformation, Travel Form.

A yellow leopard, accompanied by a black ‘big dog,’ galloped across the Blood Moon wilderness... Tonight, all the Murloc villages along the coast around Iron Mine Ridge were wiped out!

The first batch of native Murlocs living there had long been massacred by Yang Jian.

Their drops at that time were truly excellent!

Later, the Murlocs refreshed by the system rules were truly not that great!

Opening treasure chests didn't yield anything significant.

After clearing a round of Murlocs, the sky was already faintly brightening.

He checked the time; it was 5 AM in game!

The Blood Moon was about to end.

Yang Jian was too lazy to continue searching for new Murloc settlements.

He thought about it, simply put Mo Song away, and then used his Hearthstone to return to the city!

Change map... Nightshade Town nearby hadn't been fully explored yet, he could go there tomorrow!

His figure appeared in the Cat-eared Girl's inn. Yang Jian rented a room, then lay down and logged off.

The inn bed served no other purpose, but it allowed Tianmu Zhenjun to rest better!

After all, waking up once an hour was already miserable enough!

He wouldn't scrimp on such a small amount of money... The world of the gods could open ten thousand mirror rooms for him!

He would never have to worry about running out of rooms.

After the mental exhaustion he experienced that day, Yang Jian paid more attention to rest.

Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't push himself!

If it was a good opportunity like Nathanos's teachings, then staying up all night playing the game was acceptable.

During ordinary leveling, Yang Jian didn't overthink it.

When he logged off, it wasn't dark yet.

Dinner at the studio had just been prepared. As he walked into the dining room, he saw most people had come for dinner.

Yang Jian, holding a plate, sat at the table with Xia Family's Three Daughters.

“Haven't seen you all in days, what level are you now?”

“Boss, you really don't care about your subordinates! We're game friends, how can you not know our levels?”

Yang Jian's face stiffened, with a hint of authority.

“Are you going to tell me or not?”

Xia Mingruo stuck out her tongue.

“Oh, don't be angry! My mom said, getting angry makes you age faster!”

“I'll tell you! All three of us are already level ten, but we're waiting for Bai Youyou to go to the main city together! She's almost level ten too!”

Yang Jian nodded.

“Good. I'll give each of you three a red packet later! Bai Youyou is young, so take good care of her!”

As players became more familiar with salvation and their teamwork improved.

The overall leveling efficiency was getting faster and faster.

There were hardly any stubborn solo players left!

This led to a rather troublesome problem.

Tanks and healers were extremely scarce, while DPS classes were overly abundant!

In short, now, even a newly created level one healer character wouldn't have trouble finding a group.

The saying goes, if you can't find a strong support, cultivate one yourself... And in most groups, if a tank or healer reached level ten first, they might just run off!

But if a DPS reached level ten first, sorry, you had to wait for the stronger members of the group to leave together... As for the group disbanding and regrouping in the main city?

Were you still half-asleep?

“Then isn't your group still missing someone?”

“When we go to Zhenhai City, Sister Bai will join our group! We like our fixed group just fine! After all, my mom said not to play with strangers...”

Yang Jian: “Your mom is right, listen to your mom!”

“Of course my mom is right!”

Yang Jian was a bit speechless, and he saw people at the next table stifling laughter.

Xia Mingwei's expression, however, was a bit awkward, perhaps feeling that her second sister's words made her lose face a little.

Yang Jian was too lazy to bother with her, finishing his meal in a few quick bites and preparing to leave.

“Boss!”

Xia Mingwei saw Yang Jian about to leave and no longer hesitated about how to speak!

“What is it?”

“That...”

“Speak your mind if you have something to say!”

“My parents want to visit our company...”

“Your dad...”

Yang Jian looked at the three sisters and understood a little!

Right, his three beautiful daughters, like flowers, went to work at a company, where the salary was incredibly high, and food and lodging were provided... If it were him, he'd also want to see it in person... Yang Jian could understand their father's loving heart for his daughters.

“Let them come then. When? We'll have the kitchen prepare something delicious to entertain them!”

After all, three purple talents were quite valuable for development!

Even if Xia Mingwei had some personality issues, she was just a subordinate, not a wife... “Oh, by the way, what do your parents do?”

With a worry resolved, Xia Mingwei smiled, her eyes curving.

“My family lives in a fishing village in the coastal suburbs. When I was little, my family fished for a living. Now we're in tourism, and my family runs a small shop by the sea!”

“Then business should be good!”

“Good for what! All businesses are hard to do now. The year before last, when all three of us were in school, our family almost couldn't make ends meet!”

At this point, Yang Jian was no longer in a hurry to leave.

“Didn't I hear that your Xia family is a branch of the royal family? How come you're living so miserably?”

“Hmph! What's the use...”

Xia Mingruo clearly disliked this identity, even letting out a rare curse!

“Didn't your mom tell you not to use foul language?”

“I... You... Hmph!”

Xia Mingruo puffed out her cheeks and left, leaving her older sister to discuss the details of their parents' inspection.

Yang Jian simply ignored it, indicating that they should just talk to Bai Youyou about it!

He wasn't planning on becoming Old Xia's son-in-law... What was there to see?

Even if he might have an ambiguous relationship with his daughter in the future, he still wasn't planning on becoming his son-in-law!

After eating and drinking his fill, he went back online to exploit his talent's cooldown for another day.

His talent was only ten blue-grade items away from upgrading! Exciting!

On a whim, he decided to go out for a drive.

In the company garage, he saw his Rolls-Royce covered in a layer of dust.

Yang Jian felt a bit disgusted.

Since salvation launched, nearly ten days had passed, and he had been immersed in the game day and night, desperately leveling up.

As a result, he no longer loved his once most beloved Rolls-Royce!

Indeed, men were creatures who loved the new and tired of the old... Yang Jian decided to set a small goal for himself: to love the new without tiring of the old!

For things, and for people too!

As the streetlights came on.

Yang Jian drove through the towering buildings, and for a moment, he truly felt a sense of being in another world.

But he didn't know if it was just his imagination, he always felt that there seemed to be far fewer people in the city!

Were they all the lucky ones who were hooked by salvation?

Being able to enter the game at the very beginning of its launch was indeed incredibly lucky.

Except for talents being random, everything else could be chosen... He remembered that the official salvation announcement said game helmets were being rushed into production and would be released to the market within seven days!

But it was already the eighth day... The game's official presence seemed dead!

If it weren't for the game still running normally, dominating several spots on daily trending topics and hot searches, everyone would truly think the company had gone bankrupt!

Of course, as more and more high-talent players posted videos of NPCs giving themPopular Science (science popularization) for popularity.

Ordinary people who hadn't been able to enter the game yet became increasingly anxious!

Although they had laughed at '2222' a few years ago!

But it was different now!

That huge gap in the sky was wide open!

Yang Jian arrived at the top of a nearby scenic mountain, got out of the car, felt the sea breeze, and looked at the turbulent sea in the distance.

He didn't know why he suddenly came out for this trip today!

Looking at the many families who came to the mountain to enjoy the breeze and sea view nearby, Yang Jian's restless heart also calmed down a bit.

Anyway, Tianmu Zhenjun also needed to rest, so he just considered it a change of scenery!

“Mommy, look, the moon is so round!”

“Huh?”

Chinese people were like that; if someone pointed and said, “Look, airplane!”,

Many people would look up to see what was going on.

This time was no exception.

Yang Jian followed the crowd and looked up.

Wow, the moon was indeed big and round!

“I've never seen such a big moon before!”

The surrounding people echoed in agreement... “That's not right, it's still several days until the fifteenth of the lunar calendar, today should be a half moon!”

At these words, the scene fell into collective silence!

Only the chirping voices of children could be heard...
