165: Is the system forcibly pairing up couples?

In the game, aside from the initial class selection interface, Lin Du's luck had always been explosive.

Deep-Orange Chests are the most valuable items in the game, second only to golden chests.

Orange Chests are relatively more numerous, but Deep-Orange Chests have always been extremely rare.

Not even one out of a hundred Orange Chests might be deep-orange!

Obtaining two precious Deep-Orange Chests from one nine nether ancient emperor token is a probability infinitely close to zero—it's almost impossible.

Yet, at this moment, it had truly happened... Lin Du lowered his head to look at the lucky goddess tattoo on his left arm and reached out to gently stroke it twice.

"Sister Goddess of Luck, you've worked hard."

"Next, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard again!"

"Oh wait, make that twice..."

Lin Du moved the corpse of the Nine Nether Lord aside and retrieved the two Deep-Orange Chests.

While praying, Lin Du opened the first Deep-Orange Chest.

Whoosh—

[Treasure Chest Successfully Opened!]

The chest opened, and a Deep-Orange Skill Book appeared before his eyes.

[Nine Nether Eyes (SS-rank): Passive Skill]

[Introduction: Allows the user to probe an opponent's level without level restrictions, and has a chance to discover the opponent's weaknesses during combat.]

[Note: This skill can be used on all creatures, including players, monsters, and NPCs...]

Lin Du was pleasantly surprised holding the skill book.

Isn't this exactly the standard Probing Divine Ability that every novel protagonist possesses?

Lin Du wasn't too interested in checking an opponent's level; he was interested in discovering the opponent's weaknesses during combat.

If this effect triggered, it would undoubtedly be a guaranteed killer weapon!

The first treasure chest was perfect!

"Sister, there's still one more chest."

"Don't stop!"

Lin Du picked up the second treasure chest and nervously yanked it open.

Whoosh—

[Treasure Chest Successfully Opened!]

At the bottom of the second treasure chest, a skill book emitting a deep-orange glow lay quietly.

Lin Du picked up the skill book.

After clearly reading the title and the content description, he froze on the spot.

[Nine Nether Yin-Yang Art (SS-rank): Buff Skill]

[Introduction: Before using this skill, the player must first bind a CP. When the two level up together, experience points are increased by an additional 69%.]

[Note: The CP relationship cannot be unbound after binding, otherwise the additionally gained experience points will be deducted.]

"What the hell—"

"The legendary Dual Cultivation Secret Art?"

Lin Du couldn't hold back and cursed aloud.

Isn't this purely forcing someone to do something they don't want to?

If he didn't have a CP, wouldn't this top-tier ss-rank skill book go to waste?

Although the skill's usage requirements were perverse, he had to admit that this massive experience gain bonus was incredibly tempting!

A 69% experience bonus!

If this skill book were thrown out into the world, it would probably make players cry with envy... Several beautiful figures subconsciously flashed through Lin Du's mind.

Ning Fengya? Yuan Shu? Hong Jiu'er? Miss Bu Dong?

"With whom would it be most appropriate to use such a precious skill book?"

The usage requirements for the Nine Nether Yin-Yang Art are very strict. If a CP is bound, that CP relationship probably cannot be undone later.

Therefore, when choosing a CP, he must be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious!

Lin Du decided to temporarily put this potentially life-altering decision out of his mind.

He'd worry about it after getting out!

..."Brown-Eyed Beauty, we can leave now."

At the entrance of the Secret Realm, Lin Du flashed over to Ning Fengya's side.

"You finished so quickly?" Ning Fengya asked in surprise.

As she spoke, Ning Fengya noticed that the aura around Lin Du seemed off. She subconsciously opened Lin Du's panel.

"You!"

"You're actually Level 301!!"

Ning Fengya suddenly widened her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

Less than an hour had passed, yet Night Ember's level had increased by nearly 50 levels??

Ning Fengya was stunned. She abruptly looked toward the Black Small Temple in the distance.

But by this time, the Black Small Temple had long vanished without a trace.

"There... there really was a treasure..."

Seeing Ning Fengya's shocked and regretful expression, Lin Du couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

"Brown-Eyed Beauty, I told you there was a Great Opportunity there. If you didn't follow me, you can't blame me."

"Do you regret it now?"

The Nine Nether Eyes scanned Ning Fengya, and her level clearly appeared.

Level 471!

While checking Ning Fengya's level, Lin Du discovered a black and white shadow existing at the location of her heart.

This shadow was exceptionally domineering, and the surrounding Icy Cold Power kept far away from it.

It seemed this must be Ning Fengya's secret..."Brown-Eyed Beauty."

"I have another Great Opportunity here, do you want it?" Lin Du suddenly asked with a strange expression.

Ning Fengya raised an eyebrow.

"What opportunity?"

Lin Du smiled mysteriously, "Become my CP!"

"You court death!"

Ning Fengya's face turned cold, and a bone-chilling coldness erupted from her body.

"If it weren't for the contract we share, you would already be a corpse right now."

"Return to the City!!"

Ning Fengya didn't want to say another word. She turned around and left the Ancient Emperor Nine Nethers Cave Mansion... Whoosh—

Lin Du and Ning Fengya reappeared at Canglan Mountain.

The surrounding mountain environment was quiet and serene, occasionally punctuated by the roars of beasts and the cries of monsters.

The two confirmed their surroundings. It seemed Thousand Blade Drunk had not returned after leaving.

"Hurry up and return to the city!"

Ning Fengya summoned the Ice Flame Spirit Phoenix, and the two rode onto it.

Other high-level players were currently leveling up frantically inside the Starry Sky Zerg Hive, yet Ning Fengya was stuck here acting as a babysitter.

Not only did she miss the experience inside the Starry Sky Hive, but she also missed the treasure inside the Ancient Emperor Nine Nethers Cave Mansion.

Ning Fengya was furious now!

Lin Du glanced at Ning Fengya's icy face and wisely refrained from bothering her again... The Ice Flame Spirit Phoenix flew extremely fast, and the two soon arrived at the Withered Bone Forest outside Yunlong City.

Ning Fengya suddenly frowned and looked at a withered tree beside Lin Du.

"Be careful."

"Something is wrong here!"
