Breaking records continuously

"You, you you you... this this this..."

Remi fearfully held the potion in her hands, her trembling hands nearly dropping it. Scared, she quickly hugged it tightly and asked incoherently, "Th-this is..."

"A holy blessing potion."

Lin Xiao completed her sentence.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Remi quickly nodded. "Where did you get this? This is a God-Tier Potion! Oh my god, you actually have two God-Tier Potions. Did you get incredibly lucky?"

Shock, disbelief, and even outright refusal to believe.

She was already incredibly shocked when she learned Lin Xiao had the "Blessing of the Gods," but she never expected him to also have a "holy blessing potion"!

This is even rarer!

Lin Xiao: "I got it from a treasure chest."

"Got it from a treasure chest..."

Remi almost couldn't hold back from arguing, but then she decided against it.

How could a treasure chest drop a God-Tier Item? Perhaps he just didn't want to tell her and made up an excuse. There was no need to delve deeper.

"You said you'd give this to me?" Remi asked.

"Not giving it to you, but temporarily replacing the 'Blessing of the Gods.' I'll need it back."

He generously gave the "holy blessing potion" to Remi for research. Besides substituting for the "Blessing of the Gods," the main reason was that he didn't really need it himself.

Because of the existence of the earth preservation set!

It comes with a resurrection effect!

This made the "holy blessing potion" a lower priority for him.

Moreover, letting Remi research it was a form of investment in her.

After all, she always manages to invent strange and unusual items.

Remi nodded like a pecking chick. "I know. Don't worry, I won't take your stuff. It's just for research."

Lin Xiao nodded, then thought for a moment and added, "If you research anything new later on..."

Before he could finish, Remi interrupted him, "I'll cover all your recovery potions from now on! And if you need anything, just tell me. I'll help you as much as I can, even if it means climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a sea of fire!"

"It doesn't need to be that serious. Just tell me if you invent anything new."

Remi hugged her (temporary) precious potion and left.

Lin Xiao didn't immediately enter the dungeon; instead, he went to stock up on some food.

He was currently 1% experience away from Level 27. He planned to spend the next few days grinding in the dungeon and only come out after reaching Level 30.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xiao re-entered the nightmare level [Kings Ruins].

This dungeon was relatively simple, with fewer monsters but high experience gain.

One minute later.

[Successfully killed Wind Knight, EXP +200,000!]

[Obtained: Seal of Wind *3, treasure chest of Wind *1.]

[Congratulations! Your level has increased to Level 27!]

"Hiss... 200,000 EXP! Solo grinding really gives a lot of experience."

Lin Xiao exclaimed.

Before, because he was teamed up with Remi, the experience was split in half.

"Let's continue."

Lin Xiao took the Slime and Snow Girl Doll and others to the next dungeon map.

Having understood the monsters' attack patterns and mechanics, his clear speed would only get faster... dungeon Hall.

"Holy cow, look, look! The nightmare level difficulty dungeon of [Kings Ruins] has broken the clear record again! Just how fierce is this guy named Lin Xiao? He breaks the record almost every so often."

"He's really fierce! I remember this dungeon is extremely difficult, and very few teams have cleared it."

"He's too strong. By the way, who is this Lin Xiao?"

"I know him. He's a student at Imperial Capital University. Apparently, he was the one who solved the Abyss at Wan Tian Mountain by himself a while ago."

"By himself? That's insane! Can someone really clear an Abyss solo?"

"Look quickly, the record has been broken again! He shaved off another two seconds."

"This guy seems crazy. There are no rewards for breaking records, so what is he aiming for?"

"..."

Discussions in the dungeon Hall these past few days have revolved around Lin Xiao constantly breaking the nightmare level dungeon clear records.

Clearing it once might be luck, but continuously clearing it and constantly breaking records?

"This Lin Xiao is practically inhuman!"

At the rest area of the dungeon Hall, a girl lay sprawled on the table, turning her head toward the dungeon Hall's display screen and complaining.

The man sitting on the right was eating a freshly bought chicken wrap, smiling wryly as he ate. "He took first place in the College Entrance Examination with an unbelievable score, but I never expected him to be even more unbelievable now."

A bald man lowered his head, wiping his shield. Hearing their discussion, he interjected, "By the way, is a Summoner really that strong? Isn't it a sewer class?"

"Oh, right." The sprawling girl suddenly seemed to remember something and stood up, looking at Bai Yixue. "Sister Yixue, we can ask him for help! Clearing the nightmare level is like drinking water for him. If we team up with him, clearing the dungeon will definitely be easy."

The man eating the chicken wrap rolled his eyes at her. "Don't you know that the first and second place winners are naturally rivals? Asking Sister Yixue to go ask for help..."

The girl ignored the guy and looked at Bai Yixue, waiting for her reply.

"It's not that we're rivals. I've interacted with him a few times, and he's actually a decent person."

"It's just that..." Bai Yixue looked at the screen and said after two or three seconds, "He's probably a Lone Wolf. He doesn't like teaming up with others. Even his girlfriend rarely runs dungeons with him."

She had almost never heard news of Lin Xiao forming a team.

Generally, during university, people try to form their own teams, and years of tempering can make a team more mature.

But she found that Lin Xiao didn't seem to have this idea; he always fought alone.

"Girlfriend? Lin Xiao has a girlfriend? Who is it?"

The girl's gossip instinct flared up, and she quickly started prying.

Bai Yixue rolled her eyes at her and said, "Jiang Ningxue."

"It's Jiang Ningxue?!" The girl was shocked.

Even the man eating the chicken wrap and the guard wiping his shield paused, clearly stunned.

"You mean the Jiang Ningxue whose single-target healing (support) skill can be used as an area-of-effect skill?" the girl quickly asked again.

Bai Yixue nodded. "Yes."

"Oh my god, both of those guys are monsters!"

One solos nightmare level dungeons like drinking water, constantly breaking records.

The other is the hot commodity in any team, whom everyone wants to snatch up and have join their squad.

Unbelievable.

"Alright." Bai Yixue interrupted the conversation and stood up. "Let's go, let's give it another try. If we can't clear it this time, we'll wait until after Level 30."

"But then it won't be much of a challenge," Bai Yixue quietly added.

Just then, Bai Yixue's phone rang. She picked it up, and her expression immediately turned serious.

"The dungeon plan is canceled. We have a new mission."

"A new mission? Is it from the Dragon Flame Abyss Squad?"

"Yes, and it won't be a normal mission. There's a chance we could lose our lives at any moment."

The girl shrank her neck. "That terrifying? Where are we going this time?"

"The West."
