39: Chapter 39 The Third Summoning

Relying on the ultra-long-range insight provided by the Divine Sight Aura, Lin Muyang quickly locked onto a newly refreshed level 16 gold rank Dungeon entrance over ten kilometers away. Without the slightest hesitation, he took Lilia and Elabess and entered it directly.

It is worth mentioning that the rules of this world are very strict: if the Dungeon level exceeds the Class Transferee's own level by more than 3, then killing the monsters within will not yield any experience points. This ironclad rule fundamentally eliminates the possibility of high-level powerhouses carrying newcomers for rapid leveling—low-level Dungeons have level restrictions, so big shots cannot enter; high-level Dungeons allow newcomers to enter, but they get no experience.

This means that the growth path of the vast majority of newcomer Class Transferees can only rely on their own step-by-step efforts, with at most those from well-off families gaining some early-stage advantages from equipment. Just like Shen Muyao, her father Shen Yanshan might be able to provide her with top-tier low-level equipment to make her early-stage transition smoother, but it is absolutely impossible to let her reach the sky in a single bound and skip the arduous leveling process.

On the way to the next Dungeon, Lin Muyang recalled the voice line Elabess used when communicating with Shen Yanshan earlier, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:

"Elabess, come to think of it, that voice you just simulated... it sounded very much like a mature older sister? Whose voice line was that?"

"Replying to Master, that is the voice of one of my older sisters." Elabess covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes darting with a hint of slyness, "If Master likes that style, next time I need to communicate with outsiders, shall I continue using that voice line? Or... at other times, I could also change into that form?"

"Oh? You can do that?" Lin Muyang's eyes lit up upon hearing this. A Succubus Maiden with a pure and naive temperament, contrasted with a mature, alluring older sister image—this contrast was truly heart-stirring. "Sounds pretty good, we can try it if there's a chance!"

At this moment, the Succubus Maiden was wearing the shadow whisper set, of which she had already collected some parts. The robe made of special silk material clung tightly to her graceful body, outlining breathtaking curves, especially those long, jade-like legs wrapped in the shadow stockings, which were particularly eye-catching.

Of course, this alluring scene could currently only be appreciated by Lin Muyang and Lilia. Lin Muyang secretly pondered that if he needed to take them out in public in the future, he absolutely could not let her dress so provocatively... After all, tall trees catch the wind, and unnecessary trouble should be avoided whenever possible.

...

For the next better part of the day, Lin Muyang was completely immersed in the rhythm of clearing Dungeons. He used Divine Sight to search in the vast forest secret realm area, specifically choosing gold rank Dungeons to enter, sweeping through them one after another.

For him and the two powerful maidens, clearing the monsters inside the Dungeons actually didn't take much time. The real time-consumer was instead finding and traveling to the next qualified Dungeon entrance in the vast area. Efficiency was largely dragged down by the searching process.

This was also one of the core reasons why Lin Muyang decided to cooperate with Tianqi Tower. Once he had an accurate and timely map of Dungeon and secret realm distributions, he would be like having precise navigation, heading straight to his target and saving a large amount of time wasted on finding the way. He estimated that in that case, his development speed could at least double!

At noon, Lin Muyang took the two maidens back to their temporary home to rest. As before, he went out to buy some of the world's local delicacies to bring back. After hurriedly finishing lunch, they didn't linger and immediately threw themselves back into the great cause of Dungeon clearing for the afternoon.

After reaching level 15, the experience points required for leveling up increased significantly again. Even though Lin Muyang kept the tenfold experience Aura on, he could clearly feel that the leveling speed had slowed down. Every level required a massive amount of experience to fill.

Time flew by during their efficient Dungeon clearing. When the sky was dyed a brilliant orange-red by the setting sun, Lin Muyang walked out of the eighth gold rank Dungeon they had conquered today with Lilia and Elabess.

The moment they stepped out of the Dungeon light curtain, three golden beams of light, more dazzling than before, shot up into the sky from them simultaneously!

Level 20!

After a whole day of crazy sprinting, his and the two maidens' levels finally broke through the 20-level mark! At the same time, a pleasant notification rang in his mind—the fifth Aura slot was officially unlocked!

What he was looking forward to even more was that reaching level 20 meant he had finally met the conditions to start summoning the third maiden from another world!

In just two short days, soaring all the way to level 20 from just having changed classes! If this news were to spread, it would absolutely shock the entire Class Transferee world and cause a huge uproar.

However, for Lin Muyang, he still felt it was a bit slow. "If I had gotten the map earlier, the efficiency could have been improved even more," he thought with some dissatisfaction.

...

However, before conducting the third summoning ritual, Lin Muyang still had one important matter to handle—selling equipment, recouping funds, and paying the final payment for that villa in Ziyun Mountain Villa!

He roughly counted today's harvest, and the number was terrifying: he had obtained a total of over seven hundred platinum rank equipment! Because the quantity was too large, he hadn't even had time to carefully check the specific attributes of many pieces of equipment.

Besides that, there were ninety-five skill books shimmering with platinum-colored light!

"The skill books can wait to be sold." Lin Muyang quickly made a decision, "After all, I'm not sure what class of partner will be summoned next, and these platinum rank skill books are of good quality, so I can keep them for backup."

And the biggest gain in terms of equipment today was undoubtedly finally collecting the complete shadow whisper set! Eleven parts, not one missing!

This complete level 10 Shadow Mage platinum set, if placed in a large auction, would be of immeasurable value. A single piece of equipment might only be worth over ten million magic crystals, but the rarity of it appearing as a set would cause its price to take a qualitative leap, and it is by no means impossible for it to be auctioned for a sky-high price of over one billion! After all, many people struggle their whole lives to collect a set of low-level top-tier equipment, or by the time they have the ability to collect it, their level has long surpassed it, and they no longer need it.

Lin Muyang carefully put away the shadow whisper set, as well as the best set of equipment for each other class, preparing to keep them for his own use or as backup. Then, he packed up the remaining six hundred-plus platinum rank equipment and came to Hongwu Mall again.

The mall owner Hong Wuliang, this burly man over two meters tall, had an expression of shock on his face that was even greater than yesterday when he saw Lin Muyang bringing such a massive amount of platinum equipment to his door so quickly!

"Little brother, you... did you raid the nest of some platinum equipment wholesale market?" Hong Wuliang joked, his eyes filled with disbelief.

After some counting and valuation, the total value of this batch of over six hundred platinum equipment reached a staggering ninety-two million-plus magic crystals!

Fortunately, Hong Wuliang himself was a powerful expert with a strong foundation, having accumulated a rich family fortune through years of business and adventure. If it were an ordinary merchant, they probably wouldn't be able to handle such a large batch of goods at all.

Purchasing so many scarce low-level platinum equipment at once made Hong Wuliang overjoyed. For newcomer Class Transferees who are in a period of rapid growth, these pieces of equipment are simply dream treasures, and there is absolutely no worry about sales. He immediately realized that he could take this opportunity to hold an auction specifically for the newcomer market!

"Originally, I planned an auction for the day after tomorrow, with a Swordsman class Origin Skill as the finale." Hong Wuliang said while completing the transaction, transferring the huge amount of magic crystals to Lin Muyang, and handing over a beautifully crafted invitation, "But just auctioning one skill book always felt a bit thin. Now that I have this batch of high-quality platinum equipment from you, little brother, this auction carries enough weight! If you are interested, little brother, why not come over and take a look the day after tomorrow? Perhaps there will be items you need."

"Oh? A Swordsman's Origin Skill?" Lin Muyang originally intended to leave once the transaction was completed, but hearing this, his footsteps paused involuntarily.

He certainly knew the preciousness of an Origin Skill. This is a type of skill without level restrictions that can be continuously upgraded and grown through special methods, with an extremely low drop rate. Theoretically, as long as enough resources are invested to raise it to a high rank, its power could even rival legendary forbidden spells!

Although he currently didn't have any Swordsman class maidens under his command, this did not prevent him from taking precautions and securing such top-tier resources in his hands first. Of course, he also knew that this level of skill book would inevitably attract numerous big shots and powerful Swordsman class experts to bid, and the final transaction price would likely be a staggering astronomical figure, far beyond what a single villa could compare to.

This also strengthened his determination to achieve "magic crystal freedom" as soon as possible. Without sufficient financial resources, not being able to afford the good things he liked was a truly stifling feeling.

"Alright, I will attend on time." Lin Muyang took the invitation, nodded at Hong Wuliang, and then turned and left the mall.

...

Night slowly fell.

Lin Muyang, taking Lilia and Elabess, activated stealth again and quietly flew toward the Ziyun Mountain Villa that already belonged to him.

He successfully paid the final payment for the villa and received the keys and property deed. Tonight, they would officially move into this brand-new, more spacious, and private home.

And more importantly, in the summoning room of this new home, a brand-new, highly anticipated summoning ritual was about to begin!
