35: Great Teleport

Time passed.

Li Si was like a carp swimming upstream, thrusting straight into the heart of the Flame Demon army.

With a *ding* sound, the 900,000 experience points in the experience bar disappeared, and 9 purple upgrade stones in his backpack melted, leveling Ghostly Swift Steps to max level.

"Finally max level."

Li Si sighed at the difficulty of upgrading skills, then opened Ghostly Swift Steps to check it.

[Ghostly Swift Steps max]

Quality: Purple

Active: Command a ghost to possess you, increasing movement speed by 30% for 10 seconds.

Requirements: 100 mana consumption, 20-second cooldown.

It was indeed 30% movement speed, just as he had imagined.

At this moment, a majestic and grand black light formation appeared. Red flames swirled around the light formation, and hundreds of Flame Demons emerged every second.

"Not bad."

Overall, this hidden map wasn't too difficult.

Of course, this was for Li Si, because he wasn't afraid of small monsters. For other players, it would definitely be hell-level difficulty.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...."

The Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow unleashed its power. Desolate Arrow - No Edge, a heavy elemental arrow, tore through the air, destroying the teleportation array with a single shot.

"Pop!"

The massive teleportation light formation shattered, everything was like smoke and dreams, as if they had experienced an illusion.

The next moment, Li Si and Qian Miaomiao returned to the Heavenly Policy Army Prefecture.

"Boom!"

The earth shook and the sky trembled, divine light shone everywhere, and a phantom of a marshal appeared between heaven and earth.

"People of later generations, your bravery astounds me. Now, choose your rewards. One is a legacy of the Heavenly Policy Army Prefecture, and the other is an Ancient Divine Art. Who will choose first?" The marshal's phantom waved his hand, summoning two light clusters.

On the left was the professional legacy, and on the right was the Ancient Divine Art.

"Crazy God, you choose first," Qian Miaomiao said calmly.

However, her gaze had not moved from the light cluster on the left from the very beginning. Clearly, she wanted the professional legacy of the Heavenly Policy Army Prefecture more.

Li Si noticed this.

He decisively chose the divine art. He already had the Great Wilderness Archer profession and liked it very much. Most importantly, a player could only have one combat profession, so it wasn't a difficult choice.

He would take the divine art, and Qian Miaomiao would take the profession, a win-win situation.

"You choose the divine art, I choose the legacy."

Qian Miaomiao joyfully reached for the legacy of the Heavenly Policy Army Prefecture.

Li Si also raised his hand to touch the divine art on the right.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have received the reward: Skill -- Great Teleportation Technique (Special).]

[A flash of inspiration, an explosion of comprehension! Upon first learning -- Great Teleportation Technique, it has leveled to max.]

[Current skill slots: 6 / 7.]

.... Max level.

Li Si was stunned, marveling at how incredible it was.

Max level from the start, who could resist that?

[Ding!]

[First time starting at max level, good fortune will always be with you. Heaven Rewards Diligence, your luck has increased.]

[Luck permanently increased by 2 points.]

".... Explosive."

He had accumulated 9 luck points, which was great, as it would save time.

Li Si was astonished.

Luck affects the success rate of forging, and the success rate affects forging proficiency. This is because successful forging yields higher proficiency.

His luck increased by 2 points, corresponding to a 2% increase in forging success rate.

"It should save a lot of time, right?"

Thinking this, Li Si opened his skill interface to check Great Teleportation Technique.

[Great Teleportation Technique -- max]

Quality: Special

Active: Chanting and channeling for 4 seconds, can teleport oneself to any area already visited. Excludes hidden areas, barrier areas.... and other special spaces.

Requirement: 10,000 mana points. If mana is less than 10,000 points, all mana will be consumed.

Description: An Ancient Divine Art left over from ancient times.

"Holy crap!!"

Li Si's eyes widened, marveling at how awesome Great Teleportation Technique was. One must know that the All Heavens Game did not have town portal scrolls. Besides taking teleportation arrays, the only option was walking.

Great Teleportation Technique —

Mingyue Village Blacksmith Shop!

He began chanting and channeling, space runes condensed and vibrated, and after four seconds, his figure disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, Qian Miaomiao had just finished receiving her reward and was about to speak, but found that Li Si was gone.

Did he leave?

Thinking this, she quickly exited the hidden area and returned to Black Flame Valley, but still did not see Li Si.

She thought he had gone offline, but after opening her friends interface, she found that Li Si was online.

In this situation, Qian Miaomiao felt like she had seen a ghost, wondering why Li Si had disappeared into thin air.

Just then, a friend message popped up in front of her.

The message was from Li Si, and it only had two words.

"Send money."

"......"

Qian Miaomiao was speechless and immediately stopped thinking, clicking on the friend transfer.

Inside the Mingyue Village Blacksmith Shop.

"Swish!"

Li Si's figure appeared out of thin air.

Noticing the anomaly, Wang Shidao looked up, and upon realizing it was Li Si, he continued to close his eyes and rest.

[Ding!]

[Mana empty! First time instantly exhausting all mana, Heaven Rewards Diligence, divine power promoted.]

[Mana permanently + 300 points.]

[Mana regeneration + 2 / s.]

How should I put it? It felt great.

The entire teleportation process happened in an instant, yet it also felt like he had been floating for a very long time.

After landing, Li Si saw that the Limiter had triggered, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards.

Great Teleportation Technique was definitely the top priority for farming mana.

"Haha...."

The thrill made Li Si laugh, but it only lasted for a moment before his laughter abruptly stopped.

Because he remembered that Qian Miaomiao hadn't paid him.

So he decisively opened his friends interface and sent the two words "Send money."

And Qian Miaomiao was indeed a woman who refreshed 5 million RMB in pocket money every day.

She transferred the money without any hesitation.

In less than five seconds, 1 million RMB was transferred.

[Ding!]

[Current character account balance: 2.24 million RMB.]

".... So good!!"

Li Si laughed again.

After that came the tedious and boring blacksmithing. With the increased success rate, the proficiency gain indeed increased significantly. He boldly predicted that the time to level Blazing Sky Craftsman to LV3 could be advanced by at least 2 hours.

".... Grind, grind, grind!"

Work hard, grind out a new sky.

Li Si didn't even lift his head, burying himself in blacksmithing, and his efficiency increased even more.

At the same time, there was no secret that could be kept forever.

The news of the main quest being in Black Flame Valley had already spread throughout Mingyue Village.

In an instant, the situation became turbulent.

All players who considered themselves strong rushed to Black Flame Valley in a swarm.

"Boss, look at the chat channel, so many players are coming!" Wang Dapao shouted after checking the chat channel.

The second rule for workers: If you discover a risk, you must inform the boss in advance and bear no responsibility for any risks.

"Damn it, who leaked the news?"

Qian Duoduo cursed inwardly. With so many people, nearly two hundred participating in the main quest, he knew the news would eventually leak out, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"This situation is unavoidable. It just depends on who finds the Flame Demon Prison first," Qian Miaomiao said coldly.

Then she directly issued an order: groups of five, spread out to find the entrance to the Flame Demon Prison. Whichever group found the entrance, every group would receive a 50,000 RMB reward. The group that found the entrance would receive an additional 100,000 RMB per member.

With heavy rewards, there would surely be brave men.

For this 100,000 RMB, the members of Way of Feet and Canghai were almost crazy, searching desperately.

Time passed.

As players from nearby gradually gathered, the number of people in Black Flame Valley increased.

Where there are many people, there are disputes, and conflicts arise.

"Damn it, what are you looking at?"

"What's it to you!"

"Hey, what the hell, looking for a fight?"

"You're the one looking for a fight."

Players with short tempers started PK-ing at the slightest disagreement.

Players with good tempers started fighting after two words of disagreement.

In reality, they were timid and submissive, getting scolded by their bosses at work and by their wives with passive-aggressive remarks at home. With a belly full of anger and nowhere to vent, they thought of entering the game to relax, only to be scolded by other players again.

Who could stand this?

Come on. Let everything be destroyed....

So Black Flame Valley became chaotic.

It had clearly become a large-scale PK arena.

"It's chaos, complete chaos."

Wang Dapao tightly protected Qian Duoduo.

Worker's Rule Number Three: Regardless of the conditions, regardless of the enemy, you must die before the boss. You cannot die later than the boss, not even a second later. This way, you bear no risk.

"Black Flame Valley is indeed about to descend into utter chaos."

Qian Duoduo's small eyes narrowed slightly as he saw a familiar figure.

Fengyun Heavy Cavalry had arrived with his guild members.
