15: Zhao Xuan: How dare he leave the city!

Although Wan Feipeng seemed unreliable, he was very generous with rewards.

Ye Ze could leave directly after receiving the reward, without any extra fuss.

It was already 7:30 PM.

Ye Ze was home alone, buying food using the Trading Post app.

“Bamboo for the Panda, pine nuts for the Squirrel…”

He needed to stock up on some food as he would be heading to the Pollution Land outside the city tomorrow morning.

Although Summoned Beasts could absorb energy in the Summoning Space, they still liked to eat things daily.

Just like in cultivation novels, even if a person has achievedFasting (abstinence from grains), they would still want to taste a bite or two when they see delicious food.

Suddenly, a text message popped up:

“Your savings card has received 1,000,000, source: War College Outstanding Student Award.”

“Current balance: 5,194,750.”

It was the War College reward promised by the Vice Principal, another million credited!

However, this made Ye Ze feel a bit stingy.

Perhaps it was because he had just received an excellent piece of equipment from the City Lord.

“Forget it, it’s free money anyway…”

Afterward, he spent 60,000 yuan to buy a lot of bamboo and pine nuts.

He was about to buy some equipment to feed to the Panda when he discovered:

“Damn, a rare piece of equipment costs at least seven or eight hundred thousand?”

“Why don’t they just rob people?”

He originally thought that with over five million in his possession, he was quite wealthy.

Unexpectedly, he was still a pauper!

After much hesitation, he still spent the money, buying five rare-grade weapons!

After all, for tomorrow’s Pollution Land, he had to be fully prepared, otherwise, his life would truly be at risk.

Only a cold 1,000,000 yuan remained in his card.

But as long as his strength increased, the money he lost would eventually be earned back!

Before long, a stealthy person knocked on his door and handed him a package: “Your Trading Post order delivery…”

“Thank you.”

To improve the Panda’s monster-killing efficiency, he bought weapons.

This weight, if it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn’t be able to deliver it.

“Open wide, ah~~”

“Roar—”

Ye Ze stuffed the five weapons into the Panda’s mouth.

I have to say, although the money spent was painful, the increase in attributes was especially pleasing:

“Eat What You Eat—Consumed ‘Giant Spirit Hammer*2’, gained: Strength +8!”

“Consumed ‘Windwalker Sword’, gained: Strength +2, Agility +2!”

“Consumed ‘Warrior Dual Blades’…”

The Level 4 Kung Fu Panda’s attributes were already exceptionally terrifying:

Kung Fu Panda Attributes: Strength 103, Constitution 67, Agility 82, Spirit 54.

Its attributes were even higher than a Level 10 fully equipped Warrior class.

Now, he had more confidence in tomorrow’s Pollution Land pioneering mission.

Ye Ze went to bed satisfied and fell asleep.

…

Meanwhile, at Zhao Corporation.

Zhao Tian, the head of Zhao Corporation, had already severely reprimanded his son Zhao Xuan and his Ms. Secretary Chen Qian.

The first person in the country to clear a Hell-level dungeon was offended by these two in turns; how could he possibly win him over now?

However, at this moment.

Zhao Xuan’s originally gloomy expression gradually became confident…

“Dad, don’t be angry! Ye Ze is actually nothing to worry about!”

“He is a poor Summoner; the more Summoned Beasts he has, the more he won’t be able to afford them! His future achievements will only get smaller and smaller!”

“Even if he is the first to clear the dungeon, I can still make him work for me!”

“Oh?”

The anger in Zhao Tian’s eyes lessened, and he motioned for him to continue.

Zhao Xuan: “For a Hell difficulty dungeon, the ticket requires crystals worth 3,000,000.”

“If Ye Ze wants to level up, he can only enter the dungeon!”

“But he has no money!”

“And I can pay for his dungeon ticket. If he doesn’t take me… Hehe! He won’t have a chance to level up at all!”

As Zhao Xuan spoke, his smile grew increasingly arrogant:

“This way, he can only become a laborer to clear dungeons for me, and I can enjoy the Hell difficulty experience and level up quickly!”

Zhao Xuan didn’t say the rest, but Zhao Tian understood.

Once his level was high, Ye Ze, who had no money or power, would lack equipment, skills, and Summoned Beasts.

How could he be Zhao Xuan’s opponent in the future!

“By the time of the college entrance examination, after advancing to Professional Tier 1, the gap between him and me will be like heaven and earth!”

“Good!”

Zhao Tian’s eyes lit up as he listened, full of praise, “As expected of my son, Zhao Tian! You have ideas!”

“Tomorrow, you two go to the dungeon entrance early and find a way to get Ye Ze to team up with you!”

Zhao Xuan looked smug:

“Don’t worry, Dad! Ye Ze has no choice!”

Zhao Tian cautioned: “By the way, I heard he is favored by the City Lord…”

“Before he is surpassed by you, you must maintain appearances!”

“Understood!”

Early the next morning, Zhao Xuan waited at the Newbie Dungeon entrance, but he couldn’t find Ye Ze anywhere.

Then, he waited for five or six hours…

His confident smile once again became distorted.

“Damn it! Where is Ye Ze!!!”

It wasn’t until a student from a regular class mentioned that he seemed to have seen Ye Ze leave the city…

Only then did Zhao Xuan realize that Ye Ze had no intention of leveling up in the dungeon at all!

He had already planned to leave the city!

How ridiculous that Zhao Xuan himself still fantasized about making Ye Ze his proxy player through dungeon tickets.

Not only did he fail, but he also lost five or six hours of leveling time…

Zhao Xuan immediately let out a roar of anger:

“Damn it! How dare he leave the city!”

“Damn it—!”

…

Ye Ze was completely unaware of Zhao Xuan’s clownish actions.

Wearing a Spirit Contract Cloak, he arrived alone at the South Gate of Lin Yuan City.

The majestic city walls separated the prosperity within the city from the dangers outside.

The south of Lin Yuan City was theoretically the human living area closest to the Abyss.

Here, weapon shops, blacksmiths, potion shops, and more were all neatly arranged on both sides of the street.

Ye Ze entered a potion shop and bought several bottles of health potions and antidote potions.

Outside the city, there were no longer any safe dungeon areas.

Instead, there was the ‘Pollution Land,’ filled with infinite unknowns and terrifying demons!

He walked to the city gate, but was immediately stopped by four Demon Suppression Army guards:

“High school students are not allowed to leave the city alone!”

“You can find your parents or your Teacher to accompany you…”

Fortunately, Ye Ze was prepared and took out the identification approved by his Teacher:

“Abyss Investigation Department—Special Investigator—Ye Ze.”

“Executing a mission.”

The expressions of the four guards immediately became solemn.

They saluted Ye Ze respectfully.

“Understood!”

“We hope you return safely!”

Two guards saluted him, and the remaining two guards opened the South Gate for him.

Ye Ze exhaled lightly and stepped out of the Lin Yuan City gate.

He hurried towards the agreed location of the Scout Camp…
