Death-slaying sword energy

"Ten percent? That's too little," Liao Chen muttered.

"That guy Meng Zhan must be grinning from ear to ear."

Shen Zhong's execution was extremely swift; in less than 10 minutes, a bright red certificate was delivered into Lin Yuan's hands.

Lin Yuan flipped through the certificate. "Only one-tenth?"

"One-tenth is already quite a lot," Liao Chen curled his lip. "Our Law Enforcement Team only has one-tenth as well."

"Don't be ungrateful, kid."

Tian Ye patiently explained the reason for this distribution to Lin Yuan from the side.

"The mine has a reserve of 200 million tons, and both mining and transportation require manpower and costs."

"The Demon Suppression Army takes the lion's share because they are on the front lines fighting against the Zerg. Once this iron ore is mined, it can be forged into weapons; one more excellent weapon can reduce casualties by that much."

"The Professionals Association needs these iron ores to forge enough equipment to improve the strength of Professionals to deal with the Dungeons that could descend at any time."

"Although this derivative Dungeon appeared because of you, if it weren't for the Demon Suppression Army and the Professionals Association, I don't think you would have had the chance to stand here today."

Tian Ye was stating facts; Lin Yuan's parents died in the Zerg fortress riot fifteen years ago.

Up until yesterday, Lin Yuan was still receiving social welfare benefits.

These things didn't just fall from the sky.

If he hadn't been born in the Xia Kingdom, Lin Yuan might have long been abandoned in some desolate corner, left to fend for himself.

Lin Yuan was not an ungrateful person and wouldn't quibble over this bit of iron ore.

"Captain Tian, can this be converted into cash?" Lin Yuan raised the certificate in his hand.

"As you just said, ore requires mining. I have neither the manpower nor the money, so keeping it isn't very useful for me."

"It's better to sell it and exchange it for something useful to me."

After smelting and forging, the iron ore could at most forge Silver-tier equipment below level 25.

Lin Yuan was currently level 9, and his gear was basically all Gold-tier. By the time Lin Yuan reached level 25,

to put it bluntly, he wouldn't even bother picking up Silver-tier equipment if it dropped on the ground; it wouldn't be worth the effort.

But not everyone in this world cheated like Lin Yuan.

Ordinary Professionals still made up the vast majority.

Therefore, the one-tenth mining right in Lin Yuan's hands was still quite valuable.

"You want to sell it?" Tian Ye was stunned for a moment. "I suggest you sell it to the Professionals Association."

"Sell it to the Professionals Association? Forget it, our Demon Suppression Army will take the share in your hands."

A burly man wearing sunglasses and standing nearly two meters tall walked over with large strides.

Behind him followed dozens of warriors clad in iron armor.

Arriving in front of Lin Yuan, the burly man took off his sunglasses and grinned, revealing a somewhat amiable smile.

"My name is Meng Zhan, commander of the 27th Legion of the Demon Suppression Army."

"I can trade an S-rank Skill for the share in your hands."

Hearing about an S-rank Skill, Liao Chen was instantly shocked.

"I say, Meng Zhan, since when did a stingy guy like you become so generous?"

"An S-rank Skill for a one-tenth share? If you give me an S-rank Skill, I'll sell you our Law Enforcement Team's share too."

Tian Ye became anxious, pulling at Liao Chen incessantly; he was one step away from covering Liao Chen's mouth with his hand.

Lin Yuan was also very surprised.

An S-rank Skill.

That was extremely rare.

Liao Chen was already level 48 and only had one S-rank Skill.

That was a trump card skill comparable to an ultimate move.

An S-rank Skill could absolutely turn the tide at critical moments.

"Don't be in such a hurry to agree," Meng Zhan said, taking out a skill book and placing it in front of Lin Yuan.

"Although this book is an S-rank Skill, it can only be learned by a Summoned Beast."

【Death Sentence Sword Qi】 (S-rank) Summoned Beast Exclusive

Skill Description: Consumes 500 Mana, deals magic damage equal to 10% of the target's maximum HP, and restores HP equal to 50% of the actual damage dealt. Cooldown is 1 minute. Killing an enemy that grants experience points reduces the cooldown by 2 seconds.

"The skill is good, but since it can only be used by a Summoned Beast, it's a bit of a chicken rib," Liao Chen said, rubbing his chin and shaking his head.

"I think you could trade for one you can use yourself, even an A-rank one would do."

"I'll take it."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan tossed the certificate in his hand to Meng Zhan.

The moment he saw this skill book, Lin Yuan couldn't take his eyes off it.

The Death Sentence Sword Qi skill had both damage output and sustainability.

This skill could even be upgraded in the future.

It was simply tailor-made for A Li.

"Good, straightforward!" Meng Zhan laughed heartily and began arranging for his men to start mining.

Principal Chen Qingshan rushed back from outside.

He had just gone to the Professionals Association and managed with great difficulty to get a B-rank Summoner skill book.

When he returned and saw Liao Chen and Meng Zhan, he was completely stunned.

One was the Chief of the Tianfeng City Law Enforcement Team, and the other was the commander of the 27th Legion of the Demon Suppression Army.

How did these two come to No. 1 High School?

"You must be the Principal, right? Just letting you know, this Dungeon has been requisitioned by the Demon Suppression Army."

Meng Zhan notified Principal Chen Qingshan of this matter.

"Requisitioned!" Principal Chen Qingshan hesitated. "Then can our newly awakened Professionals from No. 1 High School still enter the Golden Tooth Ruins?"

"It has nothing to do with the Golden Tooth Ruins; you can go in as you should," Meng Zhan waved his hand. "We are only responsible for mining the ore inside the plains and mountains."

"Oh, ah?" Principal Chen Qingshan stood there woodenly, indicating he understood.

When he learned that the Dungeon before him had a reserve of 200 million tons of iron ore,

Principal Chen Qingshan felt quite overwhelmed.

He touched the B-rank skill book in his arms.

Principal Chen Qingshan revealed a bright smile.

"Student Lin Yuan, look at my memory. This B-rank skill book has been in the school warehouse the whole time. I couldn't find it before, but now I'm making it up to you."

"You cleared a Dungeon of Nightmare difficulty and brought glory to our No. 1 High School, so the school has decided to reward you with one million in cash."

Originally, Principal Chen Qingshan had prepared 500,000 in cash, but now he realized that wouldn't do.

Perfect clearing of a Nightmare difficulty Dungeon, and even creating a resource-type derivative Dungeon,

both Meng Zhan and Liao Chen had been alarmed.

Thus, Principal Chen Qingshan decisively doubled the reward to one million.

One million in cash was enough to buy a level 10 Gold-tier piece of equipment.

Lin Yuan took the skill book.

【Summon Wood Elf】 (B-rank)

Learning Level: Level 20

Skill Description: Consumes 200 Mana, summons a Wood Elf of the same level as the user. The Wood Elf's bloodline grade is Tier 3, which can be upgraded to a maximum of Tier 5.

A Wood Elf should be a support-type Summoned Beast.

Not bad.

A Li was good at melee combat.

The second Summoned Beast was a Skeleton Warrior, which was also melee.

Adding a support unit would definitely improve his overall strength.

The Demon Suppression Army was very efficient, and in a short while, they had arranged the area around the Dungeon to look like a military fortress.

Many students were dumbfounded when they came out of the Dungeon.

What's going on? Why is this place surrounded by the military?

Principal Chen Qingshan and the teachers patiently explained the situation, and all the students focused their gazes on Lin Yuan once again.

"Eyes filled with longing" wasn't even enough to describe it.
