126: S+ Perfect Evacuation, Lan Country Auction

On the desolate star, seven days felt somewhat dull and long.

Lin Fei passed the time by watching some interesting trivia and records about this world on Zhao Zicong's tablet.

There were also some insights from mages regarding runes, which helped pass the time.

The seventh day.

Anxious travelers frequently walked out of the camp, gazing up at the sky, expecting the arrival of the rescue team.

Finally, accompanied by the roar of engines from the horizon.

Several rescue ships painted with the Interstellar Alliance emblem appeared above this desolate planet.

The moment they saw the rescue ships, the entire camp erupted.

The emotions suppressed for seven days completely exploded at this moment, and countless people cheered with joy.

"They're here! They're finally here!"

"We can finally leave this hellhole!"

"It's still the Interstellar Alliance after all; if it were any other Alliance chamber of commerce, they probably wouldn't have cared about us."

The evacuation process was orderly.

Before leaving, the One-Eyed Captain tightly grasped Lin Fei's hand and solemnly promised that the Interstellar Alliance would never forget his kindness.

As the greatest contributors to this incident, Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi naturally received the highest standard of courtesy.

When they stepped onto the express spaceship returning to the Interstellar Alliance main star.

The System's settlement notification also arrived on schedule.

【Dungeon space trial has ended, final settlement is in progress.】

【Congratulations to player Lin Fei, you have completed all main quests and optional quests with excellent performance, overall evaluation: S+!】

【Obtained reward: 3,000,000 killing coins!】

【Obtained reward: Golden Treasure Chest x1!】

【Obtained reward: Interstellar Alliance Transcendent Joint Council Honorary Friend Title (With this title, you can enjoy many privileges within the Interstellar Alliance territory and gain the high trust and friendship of the Interstellar Alliance)!】

【Obtained reward: Saka Star α Advanced Area Arrival Permission.】

"This permission is likely exactly what I need most."

"Saka Star Advanced Area, Sister Zhifei, are you in that place?"

Lin Fei's eyes narrowed.

A flash of light.

Lin Fei and his sister returned to the eleventh floor of the Node Tower.

The first thing Lin Fei did was impatiently take out his Epic-grade skill rune — 【Lightning Chain Conduction】.

Every time he successfully evacuated safely, he could strengthen one item that could be strengthened.

"Perform a ten-thousand-fold strengthening on the Lightning Chain Conduction rune!"

Such an opportunity for strengthening must, of course, be used on good things.

An Epic-grade rune is naturally the most suitable item for strengthening.

【You have used the ten-thousand-fold strengthening opportunity! Epic-grade rune Lightning Chain Conduction successfully strengthened!】

A blinding golden light burst forth from the rune.

Its form and the energy fluctuations contained within were undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The rune, which originally shone with purple lightning, was now dyed with a layer of majestic and sacred dark gold.

The electric snakes darting inside seemed to have transformed into roaring phantom Lightning Dragons, emitting a heart-palpitating, immense terror!

【Congratulations, you have obtained a Legendary-grade rune: Lightning Bombardment Chain!】

【Rune Name: Lightning Bombardment Chain (Golden Legendary Grade)】

【Effect 1: Thunder Rage — Your designated lightning-type Spell damage is directly increased by 500%!】

【Effect 2: Thunder Bombardment Conduction — After your designated lightning-type Spell hits the first target, it will generate a lightning chain; the lightning chain transmission count is increased from 10 times to a maximum of 100 times.】

【Effect 3: Thunder Bombardment Mark — Targets hit by your lightning Spells (including Chain Lightning) will be afflicted with a layer of 'Thunder Bombardment Mark', with the mark lasting 30 seconds.

When the Thunder Bombardment Mark on a target stacks to 3 layers, it will immediately trigger a powerful 'Thunderstorm' effect, dealing devastating area-of-effect lightning damage to them and clearing all marks from them.】

"Holy crap! This effect is truly Heaven-Defying!"

Lin Fei looked at the attributes of the 【Lightning Bombardment Chain】 rune, which could be called perverted.

He couldn't help but gasp.

Damage increased fivefold directly!

Chain Lightning not only increased in power but could also conduct 100 times.

However, for this thing, one chain can only conduct once per unit, meaning it can conduct to a maximum of 100 units; it cannot alternate conduction between two units.

But well, he has ten Lightning Dragons every three seconds, so the attack frequency is not low either.

The most terrifying part is the 【Thunder Bombardment Mark】 and 【Thunderstorm】 effect.

Once the marks are fully stacked and the Thunderstorm is triggered, the scene is simply unimaginable!

"Awesome!"

"This trial, the biggest gain is probably this!"

Lin Fei contentedly embedded the Lightning Bombardment Chain into the skill rune slot of Palm Thunder.

The entire skill rune changed again; five Lightning Dragons floated in the air, with a lightning net and massive explosions below.

"This trip, we were gone for a full twenty days," said Lin Mengzi.

"But the gains are not small; we are both level 33 now."

"Let's hurry home."

"Mm."

After dealing with the System rewards, the two did not delay for a moment.

They immediately went to the parking lot to find their car, then drove back to the orphanage.

It was midday, and the daylight was bright.

"Finally back," said Lin Mengzi.

Having been away for too long, upon returning this time, the lilacs in the courtyard had bloomed.

A faint fragrance filled the air with a cozy atmosphere.

Before the two even reached the main gate, they could smell it from far away.

Aunt Chen was playing games in the courtyard with a group of little ones.

The sunlight shone on their innocent, happy faces, appearing exceptionally warm.

Seeing Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi, Aunt Chen and the children all showed expressions of surprise and joy.

"Xiao Fei, Meng Zi, you're finally back! You've been gone for so long this time, you worried me to death!" Aunt Chen walked up quickly and took their hands.

To them, Aunt Chen was their mother.

"This mission took a bit longer," Lin Fei said with a smile.

"What do you want to eat today? The fridge is fully stocked now. During the days you were gone, Xu Zhengyang and the others have been quite busy."

"Aunt Chen, I love whatever you make," Lin Mengzi said with a smile.

After finishing lunch.

Lin Fei found Xu Zhengyang and Li Shun to ask about the recent situation in Luo Country.

"Boss, everything is proceeding according to your instructions," Xu Zhengyang reported respectfully.

"Order within Luo Country has basically been restored to stability.

The people from the Thousand Wings Guild are truly much more capable than the old politicians from before; they are all people who get things done.

Now, all the major cities are beginning to regain their vitality.

Those petty criminals and evil forces that took advantage of the chaos have also been mostly wiped out by us during this period."

Xu Zhengyang, Xu Sanduo, and these people are all hanging out with Lin Fei; their current strength belongs to the first tier in terms of overall level.

They might seem a bit like loafers when they are with Lin Fei, but their true combat power is not low at all.

"By the way, Li Wuxuan has now become the Chief Prosecutor in charge of the prosecution department; his skills finally have a place to be used."

Lin Fei nodded; Uncle Li had fought for the grassroots people since he was young.

Now, he could finally show his talents for the citizens in a position suitable for him.

This was a good thing for him.

"Also! Because of the powerful strength and ability to maintain stable order that our Luo Country has displayed," Li Shun took over the conversation, with a hint of excitement on his face, "the other eight surrounding countries have taken the initiative to send envoys, expressing their willingness to form a Nine-Country Alliance with our Luo Country.

Lowering tariffs, conducting trade exchanges, and even deep cooperation in military affairs to jointly resist potential threats."

"Oh? A Nine-Country Alliance?"

Lin Fei raised an eyebrow; this was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

"Luo Country is truly getting better and better now," Lin Fei nodded approvingly.

"By the way, Boss," Li Shun seemed to have remembered something and quickly said, "Tonight, Lan Country, which is next to our Luo Country,

will host a special-grade auction.

At that time, celebrities from the nine countries will all participate.

It is said that there will be many rare treasures auctioned that have circulated from various trial dungeons.

Even, I heard some rumors saying that there might be extremely rare Epic-grade elemental runes!"

"Elemental runes?!" Lin Fei's eyes narrowed.

He had always wanted this thing, but unfortunately, the trial worlds he went to did not produce these.

Elemental runes are not just suitable for mages; any profession needs them; they are absolute treasures.

Let's put it this way.

His current Spells, whether fire or frost, are essentially just the most basic mortal fire and mortal ice.

If he could fuse higher-level elemental power.

Such as earth flame, molten fire, mysterious ice, and other rare elements.

Then the power of his corresponding skills would receive a transformative improvement!

This is a supreme treasure that all professionals pursuing ultimate power dream of.

Especially for a mage like him, its importance is self-evident.

"Can you find a way to help me get an admission invitation?"
