15: Beast Tide 1

Chu Yixing clicked into the free discussion area, where the hottest post was about him.

“Shocking! The world's fifteenth Dual Uniques has appeared in our Huaxia! Also, our Huaxia's third Dual Uniques!”

Chu Yixing clicked in and found that it was all descriptions of the original job transfer and awakening ceremony, as well as his information.

Chu Yixing read to the end and saw that his appearance had not been revealed, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, he clicked into the Jiangling City forum, and a post caught his attention.

“Elite monsters at the foot of Hongfeng Mountain have been slaughtered. Is this a distortion of human nature or a degradation of morality?”

Chu Yixing clicked in and saw that it was because he had cleared almost all the elite monsters at the foot of Hongfeng Mountain when he was doing his first job transfer quest two days ago.

Many people in the comments below the post were condemning the perpetrator, saying that many of them no longer had a place to farm elite monsters.

Some people were also saying which big shot was bored and came to the novice monster farming area to 'fish'.

Chu Yixing smiled after reading the post and silently said sorry in his heart.

After checking for other uninteresting posts, Chu Yixing exited the forum.

He tidied himself up and left the special Instance room.

He did not send a message to Assistant Li, planning to go home by himself.

As soon as he stepped out of the Dungeon Hall entrance, Chu Yixing's communicator rang. Chu Yixing saw that it was Mayor Qin's voice call and answered it.

“Xiao Chu, are you still in the Dungeon Hall?”

“Uncle Qin, I just stepped out of the entrance.”

“Come to my place. I'll have Assistant Li pick you up.”

“Uncle Qin, there's no need to trouble Assistant Li. I'll go myself.”

“Alright then, be careful on your way. I'll have Assistant Li wait for you downstairs.”

“Okay, Uncle Qin.”

After hanging up the voice call, Chu Yixing could only give up the idea of going home and headed to the City Hall first.

In the Mayor's office at the City Hall, Assistant Li brought Chu Yixing in, then turned and left, closing the door.

“Uncle Qin, I'm here.”

“Xiao Chu, I saw that the [Potential Rankings] updated, so I knew you completed your first job transfer quest.”

“Yes, and I have to thank Uncle Qin for the equipment.”

“Equipment is only part of it; you have strength and you work hard. Next is the matter of leveling up. Try to level up as much as possible before the college entrance examination.”

“Yes, I was just about to ask if you had any suggestions for leveling up.”

“Have you heard of the Beast Tide?”

“Beast Tide?”

“Every once in a while, cities along our country's border will face a Beast Tide. Recently, Mo City in the northeast direction will have a Beast Tide.”

“Beast Tide? Monster siege?”

“That's right. Originally, at your level, you wouldn't be qualified to participate in a Beast Tide, but as things stand, your unique class and talent both have very strong combat power. You can solo level 10 elite monsters even before your job transfer. So, if you are interested, I can help you apply.”

“I recommend you go. One Beast Tide is enough to get you to level 16 or above. However, correspondingly, you will face great danger.”

“I'll go, Uncle Qin, please help me apply.”

“Good! I really didn't misjudge you!”

After finalizing the arrangements with Mayor Qin and agreeing to contact him when there was news, Chu Yixing stepped out of the City Hall, planning to go home and stay for a few days to spend quality time with his parents.

Chu Yixing spent two days with his parents at home. On the morning of the third day, he received a notification from Mayor Qin that he could depart for Mo City.

Chu Yixing arrived at the designated Meeting point and saw the organized Giant Rock Guild support team, as well as civilian volunteers. Chu Yixing would accompany the guild's support team.

As Chu Yixing observed the crowd, the support personnel at the meeting point were also observing him, curious how he, who clearly looked like a student, was qualified to participate in the rescue.

From the front of the Giant Rock Guild's volunteer team, a middle-aged man walked out, wearing heavy armor, holding a long saber in one hand and a shield in the other. He came before Chu Yixing:

“You're student Chu, right? My surname is Liu. During this Beast Tide, you'll follow me.”

“Hello, Uncle Liu. Thank you for your trouble.”

“It's my duty. Come with me.”

Chu Yixing followed him to the Giant Rock Guild's support team and, following instructions, stood among the warrior team.

As soon as Chu Yixing rejoined the team, Mayor Qin appeared at the meeting point to see everyone off.

Once preparations were complete, the support team boarded the city's teleportation array in batches and teleported to Mo City.

Chu Yixing felt his vision go dark and then bright. When he opened his eyes again, the environment before him had changed.

As the northernmost city in Huaxia, Mo City is covered in ice and snow year-round. Chu Yixing was very glad he had prepared warm clothing in advance.

Chu Yixing took out and put on his warm clothing. Other personnel who had not yet reached level 50 for their second job transfer also took out and put on their warm clothing.

In this world, after reaching level 50 and completing the second job transfer, one can be unaffected by heat or cold.

After all the support teams arrived, the commander of Mo City's Garrison Legion received everyone. The Garrison Legion commander frowned when he saw Chu Yixing, but he didn't say much and directly led everyone to the city walls to familiarize themselves with the environment.

The streets of Mo City were eerily quiet, with only the sounds of their team walking.

The anti-blast doors of all street-side shops had been lowered, and the entire Mo City had entered a state of combat readiness.

Mo City's city walls were built of grayish-brown bricks and stones, and the battlements were cast from alloy.

Standing on the city wall, the biting north wind, carrying fine ice crystals, lashed against the city wall, whose surface was covered with a thick layer of frost.

The battle flags on the city wall fluttered in the wind. Three kilometers outside the city wall was the alert zone, where dense trenches, chevaux de frise, and countless traps had been laid out.

Chu Yixing was assigned to the furthest corner of the northern city wall, where the pressure would be much less than on the front.

After assigning the defensive positions, the commander of the Garrison Legion left in a hurry.

The Shield Warrior surnamed Liu from the Giant Rock Guild came to Chu Yixing's side and asked if he had ranged attack capabilities and area-of-effect capabilities.

Upon receiving Chu Yixing's affirmative answer, the Shield Warrior surnamed Liu felt a great weight lift from his heart and reminded Chu Yixing to pay attention to his own safety.

Chu Yixing opened his [Skills] panel and looked at the skills activated after his first job transfer.

Skills:

1. Basic Sword Qi (Level 5, 56/1600): Consumes 5 energy points, unleashes a Sword Qi, dealing 200% physical attack sword damage to one target within a 5-meter radius. Cooldown 1 second.

2. Qiankun Sword Qi (Level 3, 28/400): Consumes 5 energy points, unleashes an arc-shaped Sword Qi, dealing 150% physical attack sword damage to all targets swept by the Sword Qi within a 50-meter radius. Cooldown 2 seconds.

Skill Points: 0

The Qiankun Sword Qi skill provided Chu Yixing with great security; he could directly attack monsters below the wall from the city wall.

After activating the new skill upon his first job transfer, Chu Yixing immediately leveled it up to Level 3. It would come in handy now.

The sky gradually darkened, and the lead-gray clouds hung extremely low, bringing with them a sense of urgency as if a storm was brewing.

Both the Garrison Legion and the support teams rested in their respective assigned defensive positions, in case the Beast Tide erupted at any moment.
