58: apprentice

“Ah? This….”

Li Si was stunned.

He was shocked by the attributes of the Seven Stars Treasure Body; its effects were simply too abnormal. At this moment, he even wondered if he was seeing things and had misread the description of the Seven Stars Treasure Body.

Facts proved that he had not misread it.

The effect of the Seven Stars Treasure Body was to gain an additional 7 combat professions.

As for the negative restrictions, Li Si didn't pay them any mind. Mythical-grade was Mythical-grade; even if it took time, he would eventually gather them all.

“Hahaha….”

What one seeks with great effort, one finds unexpectedly.

Not long ago, Li Si was still worried that other players' attributes would greatly increase after they reached level 30 and completed their second job advancement. Now it was fine; although he couldn't advance to a second job, gaining 7 more professions would also lead to a huge improvement, wouldn't it?

The super high attribute bonus of Wilderness Arrow - Body was still fresh in his memory.

8 professions would at least ensure that his attributes remained ahead until other players reached their eighth job advancement.

“It’s time to leave.”

Li Si chanted the Great Teleportation Technique, and amidst the shifting light and shadows, he appeared near the barrier of Mingyue Village.

【Ding!】

【Title — Honorable Villager of Novice Village triggered.】

【You can travel back and forth through the Mingyue Village barrier.】

Li Si passed through the barrier unhindered, and a vast, boundless plain came into view. Luanxing City was in the center of the plain, and players could reach it within half an hour of walking.

This plain was called Luanxing Plain, with many monsters evenly distributed, ranging from level 20 to level 25.

“First, let’s go to Luanxing City.”

Li Si was very much looking forward to the apprentice the system randomly matched for him, wanting to know if they were male or female, old or young.

He traveled with Ghostly Swift Steps activated the whole way, moving very fast, and arrived at Luanxing City after 10 minutes.

An ancient and magnificent city stood on the Luanxing Plain.

Li Si strode through the city gate. The wide streets were clean and tidy, and players were everywhere. He was wearing a fashionable outfit but didn't cause any stir.

This was exactly what Li Si wanted. At this moment, a system prompt unfolded before his eyes.

【Ding!】

【Automatically matched an apprentice for you.】

【Match successful.】

【Your apprentice’s ID is — Unbearable Past.】

【Unbearable Past has been automatically added to your friends list.】

【Please contact your apprentice — Unbearable Past — as soon as possible.】

【If Unbearable Past reaches level 20 within 3 days, you will receive experience point rewards. If Unbearable Past reaches level 20 within 7 days, you will be exempt from system penalties. If Unbearable Past does not reach level 20 within 7 days, your level will decrease by 1 daily.】

“....Unbearable Past?”

Li Si looked at the ID before him, guessing that his cheap apprentice was probably a rough-looking man. But it didn't matter; a rough-looking man was better than an elderly person.

Subsequently, he opened his friends list, found Unbearable Past, and sent a message: “Where are you?”

At the same time, in the new player spawn area within Luanxing City, Unbearable Past was already bewildered.

【Ding!】

【Automatically matched a master for you — Lawless Madman.】

【Please contact your master — Lawless Madman — as soon as possible.】

Looking at the system prompt, Unbearable Past's heart pounded “thump-thump-thump.” Oh my god, his master was actually Lawless Madman?

Lawless Madman had already arrived in Luanxing City!!!

Didn't this mean... Lawless Madman had found a way to leave the Novice Village without reaching level 20?

“Where are you?”

A master-apprentice message popped up before Unbearable Past.

It was a message from Lawless Outlaw.

Suddenly, Unbearable Past held his breath. Oh my god, this was a message from the super player, Lawless Madman.

He quickly replied: “I’m in the Newbie Plaza.”

Master — Lawless Madman: “Come to the south gate of Luanxing City. I'll wait for you at the teleportation array.”

Luanxing City was too large, with its urban area stretching over 100 kilometers. The Newbie Plaza was far from the south gate, requiring several hours of walking for new players.

Therefore, many teleportation arrays were set up within Luanxing City.

“Buzz!”

The teleportation array at the south gate rippled with spatial fluctuations, and Unbearable Past appeared, carrying a Newbie Sword.

Li Si recognized him at a glance because Unbearable Past had a grass-green sprout mark above his head, which was the special symbol for master-apprentice pairs.

He was actually a young man.

Unbearable Past was not a rough-looking man, but a young man in the prime of his life.

“Hello, I am Lawless Madman.”

“You… hello, I am Unbearable Past.”

“You’re so young, why did you choose such a heavy ID?” Li Si was very curious about this.

“....” Unbearable Past fell silent, lowering his head, unwilling to answer.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, then forget it. I’ll take you to level 20 first.”

Li Si just wanted to quickly complete the task assigned by the system, and then go to Luanxing City to find professions above Mythical grade.

After all, with the Seven Stars Treasure Body, he couldn't waste it.

“Mm.”

Unbearable Past nodded.

Li Si invited him to join the party, then took the teleportation array, and their figures disappeared from near the south gate.

“Swish!”

Their figures appeared in a swampy area.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations on arriving at a new area — Cannibal Crocodile Swamp (Level 25 - 30).】

【Description: Various types of cannibal crocodiles live in the Cannibal Crocodile Swamp.】

This area was quite good.

It was not far from Luanxing City and bordered the Luanxing Plain.

Therefore, there were quite a few players in the Cannibal Crocodile Swamp, mostly masters bringing their apprentices, with groups of high-level players teaming up to bring along a bunch of level 1 to 20 newbies.

“Apprentice, quickly attack! The cannibal crocodile only has 10 HP left.”

A high-level player said.

At this moment, the corner of his eye caught sight of Li Si bringing his apprentice here, and he was filled with envy. He also wanted to level up his apprentice alone, but his strength was insufficient, so he could only cooperate with his teammates, helping each other to level up their respective apprentices.

Leveling up a young apprentice alone would definitely bring a great sense of accomplishment, and if the apprentice was also a little beauty, hehe, maybe some indescribable things could even happen.

This high-level player fantasized, revealing a lewd smile.

“…..”

Li Si simply couldn't bear to look.

Immediately, he directly led Unbearable Past deeper into the Cannibal Crocodile Swamp.

As they went deeper, the number of cannibal crocodiles gradually increased, while the number of players decreased.

“That’s about enough.”

Li Si stopped near a small ditch.

He threw a handful of dirt into the ditch. Splish-splash, the dirt fell into the water, splashing densely.

“Roar!!”

The cannibal crocodiles in the water were immediately startled, roaring as they crawled ashore, baring their fangs and claws, and pouncing towards Li Si.

“More than 30, not bad.”

Li Si swept a glance, instantly counting the number, then unleashed Sky-Piercing Blade Draw.

“Clang—”

Sword energy surged, striking horizontally.

-9980!

-9982!

-9988!

-20459! Critical hit

-9980!

.....

Dense damage numbers popped up, and the cannibal crocodiles within sight were all left with low health. The one that triggered a critical hit was instantly killed.

Not bad.

These cannibal crocodiles weren't too tanky.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh….”

Elemental arrows unleashed their ruthless killing intent.

Three arrows could take down one.

Soon, all the cannibal crocodiles within sight were killed.

【Ding!】

【Killed 36 cannibal crocodiles, experience points increased by 9360. Killing beyond level 25 grants an additional 18720 experience points.】

Accumulated over 28000 experience points.

Li Si adjusted the party's experience distribution ratio, letting Unbearable Past enjoy all the experience.

“Swish swish swish….”

Golden light surged madly.

Unbearable Past instantly leveled up to level 8.

Li Si closed the party information, predicting that it would take at most an hour to level up this cheap apprentice to level 20 and complete the task given by the system.

It was fine, not too much time wasted.

At this moment, a “rustle rustle” sound was heard, and eight players pushed aside the over one-meter-tall bushes, entering Unbearable Past’s line of sight.

It was them!!

A cold light flashed in Unbearable Past’s eyes, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
