56: Chapter 56 The Storm is Coming
At the city wall transfer station, several calm and steady strong men stood at the very top, gazing at the mist ahead.
"Captain Wu, I didn't expect you to come too. Could it be that the monster tide is really about to erupt?"
Li Yuxuan walked straight to the side of the men and spoke to the youngest among them, who stood in front of everyone.
Wu Hao, the owner of a Gold Rank Talent, [Power of the Earth], was already Gold Rank Seven at only thirty-six years old, and the captain of the Second Battalion, Eighth Legion of the Defense Force.
"I thought it was some powerful Professional approaching, but it turns out to be Team Leader Yuxuan... The situation is a bit grim. According to reports from the outposts, there are already quite a few Silver Rank monsters. This wave of monster tide will probably erupt in the next few days."
Seeing Li Yuxuan in person, Wu Hao's attitude was very polite, without the slightest neglect.
After all, Li Yuxuan was the daughter of Sea City's strongest person. Although Wu Hao considered his Talent powerful, he still had to look up to Legendary Rank Professionals, especially Li Changtian, who was at Peak Legend Rank.
Coupled with her exquisite beauty, impressive figure, and aloof demeanor, she perfectly fit the image of a dream goddess for many men.
If he didn't already have a loving wife, Wu Hao might have pursued this high-ranking beauty.
Unlike Wu Hao's calm reaction, the surrounding strong men reacted intensely to the sudden appearance of the great beauty, their gazes burning as they looked at the alluring Li Yuxuan.
The strong men looked, but it was purely an appreciation of beauty; they had the desire but not the courage. They dared not harbor any lustful thoughts.
The beauty was indeed beautiful, but she was full of thorns, and her power was stronger than theirs.
"The overall level of monsters has increased quite a bit now. I hope this monster tide won't see any Legendary Rank monsters."
Li Yuxuan didn't care about the gazes of others. She knew what her presence meant to other men.
With a great beauty nearby, what man could resist not looking? At over forty years old, she had already adapted to this situation.
"This wave is hard to say. Even if there aren't any, there will at least be quite a few Gold Rank monsters..."
Wu Hao said in a deep voice. Although he also didn't want to encounter Legendary Rank calamities, with the advancement of the assimilation process of the Void Realm, Legendary Rank monsters could already come to Tianlan Star from other Void Realms.
In the past, Legendary Rank monsters on Tianlan Star were promoted locally, and their overall number was not large. There were only a few around Sea City, and Legendary Rank Professionals specifically organized hunting operations against these monsters.
Therefore, previous monster tides had not seen Legendary Rank monsters, or rather, they had appeared but were dealt with by Legendary Professionals in advance.
When Legendary Rank monsters from the Void Realm could come to Tianlan Star, taking action against them in advance became very difficult.
Currently, it is known that there are three Void Realms around Sea City. The boundary is unknown, and monsters can come to Tianlan Star from any place, making it impossible to quickly discover their existence, let alone deal with them in advance.
"No matter what, we can only passively accept the monster tide now. Even if there are Legendary Rank monsters, we also have Legendary Professionals on our side to take action..."
What will happen in the future, no one knows, but everyone still hopes that no Legendary Rank monsters will appear... "Sister Zhi Zhi, you're back! Let me help you with the crystal cores."
As the two stepped through the door, the Little Girl who was exercising on the first floor saw the large bag Lin Zhizhi was carrying. She immediately scurried forward, eagerly taking the sack full of crystal cores.
Facing the enthusiastic Fang Ling, Lin Zhizhi told her to take it to the open space in front, then waved to Cai Lin, who was nearby, to come and help.
"Ah~, so many crystal cores again."
Fang Ling ripped open the sack and poured all the crystal cores onto the ground. Looking at the large pile of black, pebble-like crystal cores, the Little Girl's eyes lit up, as if blinded by the crystal cores before her.
All three of them were greedy for wealth. Cai Lin and Lin Zhizhi also had silly smiles on their faces, meticulously sorting all the crystal cores by Rank, one by one.
"This time's harvest exceeded sixty-five thousand energy points."
Half an hour later, counting the crystal cores yielded a result that made the three continue to smile foolishly: sixty-five thousand energy points was the day's harvest.
In the eyes of the three, this was already a huge harvest. With the distribution split evenly, both of them could get over thirty thousand energy points.
"Let's go, we're going out to buy groceries. Today, we'll continue to make a delicious meal."
With such a huge harvest, Lin Zhizhi no longer wanted to be as stingy as before. She immediately suggested going out to buy some monster ingredients to treat themselves well.
At the same time, she also wanted to buy some energy potions to quickly improve her strength.
Going out again today, the girl realized that the gap between herself and the two had widened significantly.
Having realized this, she no longer hesitated. She decided to use all her energy points to buy energy potions and improve her strength as quickly as possible.
Currently, her energy accumulation has only reached forty percent. The adaptation time for an energy potion is one and a half days. Based on this estimation, as long as she continuously uses energy potions, she can Break through Black Iron Rank Ten in at most one month, at the cost of twenty thousand energy points.
"Leave me ten Bronze crystal cores. You two take all the others and exchange them for energy potions. Mom, Dad, Second Brother, and Second Sister-in-law, their strength is a bit low. It's best to buy higher-Rank energy potions."
Just as the three were about to set off together, Fang Yuan, who was nearby, spoke up.
Today, he suddenly learned about the monster tide, and before this, he was completely unaware of such a dangerous matter. This wouldn't do; his family's strength had to be improved as quickly as possible.
If any problems arose, only strong personal strength could help them overcome the crisis.
"Do you want me to help you buy energy potions, Cousin?"
Leaving ten crystal cores, Lin Zhizhi had just stepped out the door when she suddenly turned back and shouted into the house.
"You can buy three bottles for me!"
A voice came from inside the house. Lin Zhizhi seemed to have known this outcome long ago. After getting a response, she set off with the other two.
Lin Zhizhi wasn't foolish. The two of them mostly acted together and knew how many energy points the other had. Coupled with Fang Yuan leaving crystal cores twice, she could roughly understand the reason.
Perhaps her cousin had powerful abilities she didn't know about.
She chose to keep this conjecture a secret. No matter how Fang Yuan quickly improved his strength, it would be beneficial to her.
"It seems that I'll have to buy some energy potions when I have money in the future. Zhi Zhi, that girl, has already noticed something is off."
As the three left, Fang Yuan picked up the ten Bronze Level One crystal cores on the ground and began to absorb the energy within them.
It was only four in the afternoon, still an hour or two until dinner, which was enough time for him to absorb the energy of one crystal core.
After a day of combat, although he had only leveled up for one day, Fang Yuan's body had already reached its limit.
That day, he personally killed over twenty of the thirty-plus Bronze Level One and Two monsters.
The Origin of over twenty monsters significantly increased his physical strength, greatly enhancing his resistance to attacks, and his strength reached a terrifying two thousand one hundred points.
Such powerful strength was already comparable to a Bronze Level One Professional. It's clear how powerful Fang Yuan's physicalquality was now.
This strength was already the limit he could currently reach. Later, even the Origin of Bronze Rank monsters could not increase his strength by a single point.
