52: The invitation from the number one in South China! It only took one minute?

“Oh, right, even the 19th Contaminated Land shouldn't be underestimated!”

“It’s completely different now from when you last went!”

Liu Boyan reminded him, as the influence of the No. 17 Contamination Zone had even spread to other surrounding Pollution Lands.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ze smiled, “It’s fine, Teacher. My strength is also a little different from last time!”

“Oh, right, you wouldn’t happen to still not know about me being the first to clear the raid, would you?”

As he was leaving, Ye Ze mentioned something that made Liu Boyan’s mind a bit muddled.

First clear? Which difficulty of the raid needed a first clear?

He originally thought that with Ye Ze’s strength, clearing the advanced difficulty should be no problem, and with some effort, clearing the hard difficulty would also be reasonable…

Plus, the Investigation Department had too much work, so he hadn't paid much attention to the raid.

At this moment, he incredulously opened the news webpage, and instantly, what caught his eye was the report of Ye Ze’s first clear of the Hell difficulty…

Liu Boyan’s eyes widened:

“Hell difficulty again—!”

…

The wilderness outside Lin Yuan City.

A man and a woman, both luxuriously equipped, were heading to the Scout Camp. One of them, a girl in green, an agile Archer-type professional, tentatively asked:

“Is it really okay for us to sneak out like this? If your dad finds out…”

“We’re out for real combat! What can he say?!”

The other boy had blue hair, was high-spirited, and confidently said:

“With our strength, maybe we can even get a medal from the Pollution Land!”

The girl in green sighed helplessly, then asked, “What about teammates? It’s too risky for just the two of us to enter the Pollution Land!”

“No matter what, I, Fu Wanjun, am the top person in South China High School! What’s there to worry about?!”

Though the blue-haired boy named Fu Wanjun said so, his body was very honest.

Upon seeing a young man clad in a black spiritual-patterned robe, his eyes lit up and he decisively spoke:

“Hey, buddy!”

“You’re also going to the Pollution Land, right! Want to team up?”

The girl in green looked at him in surprise and whispered, “Hey, you can’t just pick a teammate so casually, can you?”

Just randomly pick someone on the road and team up?

Fu Wanjun’s eyes flickered, “I can vaguely sense that his mental power is very strong!”

“He’s either a top-tier magic-user or a Summoner!”

The girl in green was slightly surprised to hear this.

She knew how strong Fu Wanjun was in the South China region; it was truly rare for someone to be called 'very strong' by Fu Wanjun!

And the person in front of them was none other than Ye Ze, who was heading to the 19th Contaminated Land.

Sensing that the two in front of him were quite strong, Ye Ze subtly observed them:

Fu Wanjun, Level 13, Rare Class - Thunder Blade.

Song Qiaoqiao, Level 11, Rare Class - Wind Walker.

Moreover, both came from extremely good families. They were probably brought to level up by professional escorts arranged by their families, which is why they had such high levels.

Even Zhao Xuan, the young master of Zhao Corporation, paled in comparison to these two.

Although these two were already top new students in the South China region.

But Ye Ze still shook his head, “No, I don’t team up.”

Teaming up with them would not be very effective and would also split the experience.

Watching Ye Ze turn and leave, Fu Wanjun was so angry that sparks of electricity shot from his hair.

“Damn it! Could it be that this guy looks down on me?!”

“It’s good enough that I don’t look down on him!”

“If this were in South China, he’d be begging me to team up and still wouldn’t get a spot!”

Song Qiaoqiao sighed and comforted him, “Maybe, he just doesn’t know you?”

Fu Wanjun was still annoyed, “Wait until the Special Training Camp tomorrow, I’ll definitely get into the top three. Then I’ll see who in the whole country still doesn’t know me!”

“Stop complaining, let’s go!”

“Right, let’s chase him and let him see a speed he can never catch up to in his life!”

Fu Wanjun suddenly had a mischievous thought, wanting to regain some face from Ye Ze.

Song Qiaoqiao looked helpless and could only follow.

But the next moment, Fu Wanjun suddenly froze.

Ye Ze’s figure instantly vanished from where he stood, leaving behind a Squirrel-like Shadow.

Then, the Shadow Squirrel also dissipated.

“Holy crap! What skill is that?!”

“He disappeared? There’s no trace of him within several kilometers around!”

Fu Wanjun became even more agitated, “That’s a displacement skill! Cheating!”

…

Ye Ze hadn't completely ignored them.

He had simply sent the Squirrel ahead to travel, then used a skill to swap positions, saving a portion of travel time.

Upon arriving at the Scout Camp, he directly went to find Captain Xu Feng.

The latter was currently in a frenzy, extremely agitated.

“Several more special elites have appeared? How much longer until reinforcements arrive?”

The monitoring department of Camp Leader Xu Feng’s Scout Camp had entered a wartime state.

In the monitoring sandbox in front of him, the black dots representing high-level N/A were increasing.

“Captain Xu.”

“Ye Ze! Why are you here?!”

Seeing Ye Ze appear, Camp Leader Xu Feng showed a look of joy.

Even though he knew he couldn’t recruit Ye Ze, it didn’t stop him from appreciating him greatly.

But upon hearing that Ye Ze wanted to enter the Pollution Land again, Camp Leader Xu Feng seriously refused:

“Ye Ze, you don’t know, the current 19th Contaminated Land is completely different!”

“There are nearly ten more Level 30 special elites alone! It’s too dangerous for you to go there!”

“So many!”

Ye Ze exclaimed, but it wasn't in panic, but in pleasant surprise!

After clearing the raid, the extra 5000 experience points pushed his Level 11 experience bar nearly halfway.

Plus, with so many special elites, he might even have hope of leveling up twice today!

Camp Leader Xu Feng suggested, “The 20th Contaminated Land is about to form. If you want to be a Scout, you can go there.”

“No.” Ye Ze decisively said, “I’m here to be a support. Just leave all the high-level N/A to me!”

“Support?” Camp Leader Xu Feng was stunned for a moment, “You?”

The 'call for help charm' that Ye Ze was given when he was a Scout was used to call for Demon Suppression Army support.

Simply put, all powerful N/A encountered by Scouts would be dealt with by the support role.

Every support role had to deal with strong enemies, which was very dangerous and tiring, so there was also a great shortage of people.

Camp Leader Xu Feng wasn't looking down on Ye Ze.

It’s just that every support role must at least have the strength to match a Tier 3 professional.

Even in the entire 19th Contaminated Land, there were only six or seven such individuals.

After all, in the preceding Pollution Lands, the N/A were stronger, and the demand for powerful individuals was greater.

But what level was Ye Ze?

When he left the Pollution Land the day before yesterday, he was only Level 7!

How strong could he be now?

However, Ye Ze just smiled calmly, “Anyway, there are so many high-level N/A now, why don’t you let me try and find out?”

After speaking, without waiting for Camp Leader Xu Feng to retort.

He looked at the monitoring sandbox screen, “Level 30 special elite… right here!”

With the help of the monitoring department, the advantage was that he didn't have to search for high-level N/A himself, which saved a lot of trouble.

Ye Ze had a Shadow Doppelganger Squirrel move to that location.

Before entering the Scout Camp, he had the Squirrel spend half its mana to split into 60 Shadow Doppelgangers, which were moving and on standby in the Pollution Land.

This way, he could switch positions to the location of high-level N/A at any time, maximizing his monster-grinding efficiency!

Just like that, in an instant, Ye Ze suddenly disappeared in front of Camp Leader Xu Feng.

Camp Leader Xu Feng uttered in confusion, “Huh?”

Camp Leader Xu Feng looked left and right, and finally lowered his head, seeing a Squirrel shadow on the ground.

…

On the other side, Ye Ze had already arrived at the special elite’s location.

【One-Eyed Lich (Lv.30)】

Type: Special Elite

Attributes: Strength 200, Constitution 200, Agility 140, Spirit 280

————

“The 19th Contaminated Land wouldn’t have so many special elites.”

“So, they’re all flooding out from the nearby 17th and 18th Contaminated Lands?”

Pollution Lands are like basins of water, and N/A are like water. When there's too much water to contain, it naturally overflows elsewhere.

Ye Ze made a casual guess, and the Martial Saint Panda beside him suddenly punched!

This was an ordinary punch, but when infused with the legendary-tier 'Martial Saint Aura', it was no longer ordinary.

Martial Saint Aura is a powerful internal energy passively applied to attacks, with damage calculated as: (Strength + Spirit) * 300%!

Coupled with the Legendary Prestige, Spirit Contract equipment attributes, storm battle robe, and other bonuses.

Theoretically, the current Panda…

Could kill a Level 30 special elite with a sneeze.

“Boom—”

A single punch directly shattered the upper body of the One-Eyed Lich into dust.

【Killed Special Elite - One-Eyed Lich, gained experience: 1050!】

【Level: 11 (6110/13100)】

“Done.”

After a one-minute cooldown for position swap.

Before Camp Leader Xu Feng could figure out the purpose of the Squirrel on the ground, Ye Ze suddenly reappeared in front of him.

“You, how are you so elusive?!”

Ye Ze naturally threw half the corpse of the One-Eyed Lich in front of him.

“There, can I prove my strength now?”

Seeing the half-corpse of a real Level 30 special elite on the ground.

Camp Leader Xu Feng was immediately stunned.

“A Level 30 special elite, and you killed it in just one minute?!”
