69: Seclusion to prepare for the college entrance examination
Back home.
It had been 5 minutes since the request for updates.
Su Yan glanced at the manga; the bastard author still hadn't updated.
"I'm home."
After changing his shoes, Su Yan habitually called out toward the living room.
However, the room was cold and empty.
Ever since Xiao Panxue returned to Imperial Capital University, his aunt and uncle had stopped pretending.
They had spent the last two days entirely at work and hadn't returned home at all.
"Sigh, I'll just make something to eat."
Su Yan sighed, threw his backpack on the coffee table, and walked toward the kitchen.
Fortunately, before his aunt and uncle left, they had stocked the refrigerator with a large amount of food.
He simply made a dinner for ten, and Su Yan sat alone in front of the sofa, eating while watching TV, feeling very comfortable.
But it was strange.
Because of his continuous breaking of the boundary wall in the Land of Divine Punishment recently, it had a huge impact on the real world.
Many office workers had experienced a second spring in the Land of Divine Punishment, resigning one after another and taking out all their savings to book monthly stays at crystal hotels, focusing on leveling up.
After all, if money is gone, it can be earned again. But if their lifespan is gone, it's truly gone.
So Su Yan felt a bit strange.
Why were others resigning to rush the Land of Divine Punishment, while his uncle and aunt were working even harder?
"What kind of job is it, to be working so desperately?"
Su Yan muttered.
In his memory, his uncle and aunt worked at a public institution. But he didn't know exactly which unit in Jiangnan City it was.
Ever since the original host arrived in this home, he had lived a very lazy life, ignoring everything. This led to him being quite unfamiliar with many aspects of this home.
"No, when they come back, I must ask clearly."
Su Yan thought without hesitation.
If it wasn't an important job, they might as well resign. He had to make sure his uncle and aunt raised their Rank in the Land of Divine Punishment as much as possible.
...
After eating and showering, Su Yan returned to his bedroom and habitually locked the door.
"Slurp~"
Just as he was about to take off his underwear to get into bed, he suddenly heard this swallowing sound in the air.
"Damn, I almost forgot!"
Su Yan jumped, suddenly remembering that he still had a female bodyguard.
He hurriedly pulled his underwear back up, blushing, and said: "Sister Qian, you're such a pervert! I was about to take off my pants, why didn't you give me a warning?"
A giggling sound effect came from the air: "Ah, did you take them off? I didn't see anything!"
"There's no one else home, you don't need to hide, come out."
Following Su Yan's words, the air rippled in front of the wardrobe. Lin Qian's curvy figure appeared out of thin air.
Perhaps because the magnetic field was disturbed the moment she appeared, the iconic, bulging mounds on her chest swayed violently.
Su Yan didn't even lift his head: "I'll give you a day off tonight, you don't need to guard me."
"Really?" Lin Qian was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course it's real."
"Then I'm going to take a shower first~" Speaking of which, Lin Qian blinked charmingly, "By the way, where should sister sleep?"
Su Yan pointed outside the door: "The sofa."
"..." Lin Qian was stunned.
After chasing Lin Qian away, Su Yan locked the bedroom door again. Then he lay comfortably on the big bed in the bedroom.
Hmm, being alone is still comfortable!
After enjoying a moment of solitude, Su Yan took out the link crystal and began to enter the Land of Divine Punishment.
Whoosh!
The next moment, his consciousness was quickly reshaped into Demon Slayer, and Su Yan had already appeared in front of the boundary wall of the Endless Desert.
The boundary wall had been broken, and the road connecting to the next map was already lying before his eyes.
He didn't know if it was Su Yan's illusion.
As soon as he went online, he saw a group of players in front of him, actually using shields as stretchers, carrying a dying, skinny old mage and flying toward the next map.
"Damn, so desperate?" Su Yan stared, finding it funny.
Afterward, he didn't stop, using the Sky Riding Technique to fly into the high sky.
Crossing the boundary wall of the Endless Desert, he headed to the next map — Sea of Lava!
...
Sea of Lava, as the name suggests, is full of lava here, and the entire map is composed of various volcanic groups.
But because it has rich mineral deposits, it is contested by multiple races. The Human Race, Dwarves, Goblins, Orcs, etc., all have settlements here.
The maximum Rank of the Sea of Lava is 999.
Five minutes later, Su Yan arrived above the Human Race main city of this map — Molten Fire City.
This is a huge city built on the mountainside of a dead volcano. The snow-white, towering city walls look particularly magnificent and eye-catching under the dark sky.
"Traveler, welcome to Molten Fire City!"
When Su Yan entered the airspace of Molten Fire City, a Human Race patrol officer riding a Dragon flew near in the air and issued this friendly greeting to him.
"Phew, finally seeing the Human Race, it's not easy." At this moment, Su Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling very intimate.
"Hello!" He lowered his flight altitude and greeted the other party.
"Roar!" However, at this moment, the Dragon under the patrol officer suddenly became restless. It was panicked, fearful, and struggling, as if it wanted to escape from Su Yan immediately.
The patrol officer was extremely surprised. Having guarded Molten Fire City for over thirty years, he had never encountered such a situation. He hurriedly controlled the Dragon, looked at Su Yan with strange eyes, and asked: "Although it's a bit presumptuous, may I ask where the distinguished guest comes from and where are you going?"
Why does this line sound familiar? Su Yan didn't care, and blurted out: "I come from Naxi Farm and am going to the Holy Capital to explore the meaning of life."
The patrol officer gasped, and his gaze toward him was full of respect. "So that's how it is, I wish you a smooth journey!"
Su Yan smiled slightly and fell directly into the city. His goal was very clear: go directly to the Class Advancement hall.
"Please note, you have accepted the Class Advancement mission!"
After accepting the Class Advancement mission, Su Yan couldn't wait to check the Materials required for the mission.
"Level Nine Demon Eye... What is this thing?"
This time, the third Class Advancement mission required a total of 15 SSS-grade Materials. Su Yan had the other 14, but he didn't have this last Level Nine Demon Eye.
"Damn, even a hoarder can't hoard this. It seems I can only spend money."
Helplessly, Su Yan reluctantly used the auction house pass and entered Level Nine Demon Eye in the Auction House.
One search and he felt bad. The Auction House didn't sell it either!
Just like the SSS-grade Material Heart of the Demon Core required for upgrading the God Summoning Skill.
"Sure enough, I'm stuck..."
In front of the Class Advancement NPC, Su Yan didn't feel much depression, but rather a sense of relief.
In fact, before arriving at the Sea of Lava map, he already had a faint premonition that he would be stuck on this map.
Now, if he wants to complete the third Class Advancement for the God's Wrath Mage, he probably has to wait until he goes to university to earn academic credits to exchange for these rare SSS-grade Materials.
Or, be more ruthless and go deep into the Nine Netherworld, the lair of the Demon Race, and hunt for them himself.
"According to the strength of the boundary wall in the previous map, the boundary wall of this map certainly cannot be broken again unless the Rank of the God Summoning Skill is improved." Su Yan thought to himself while rubbing his chin.
Although he possessed the no-level breakthrough voucher, he could complete the Breakthrough mission to pass the map, but this was not his personality at all. Breakthrough is impossible, it will never be possible in this life!
"Fine, then I'll go into seclusion for a period of time, take the opportunity to consolidate my own strength, and prepare for the National College Entrance Examination by the way." Su Yan said to himself.
Target: 999 Rank dungeon!
For the next period of time, he wanted to crazily farm experience and stack his HP to over 100 million!
