14: King-level talent, Xia Moyanyu

Lin Yue's brow furrowed; it seemed the person who wrote the guide in his previous life had hidden some information—this task was actually a two-person quest.

While he was still thinking, another player entered the Village Chief's house, and a slightly surprised female voice with a hint of a tremble rang out from behind him.

"White Emperor?"

Lin Yue, who was pondering the quest, glanced back. Seeing the other person's ID, his expression faltered slightly.

Xia Moyanyu!

That Healer with a King-level Talent, a top-tier support ranked in the top ten Healers in his previous life, had just been bumped into by Lin Yue like this.

It was truly a case of a pillow being delivered just as one was nodding off—getting what he needed without any effort at all.

"Hello."

Lin Yue greeted her with a smile on his face.

Xia Moyanyu, on the other hand, was stunned. She had only called out in surprise and hadn't expected the top-ranked boss to actually respond.

"Boss, haven't you left the Novice Village yet? Can't you leave once you reach Level 10? Oh, I know, you must be here doing a quest, right?"

Seeing him nod, Xia Moyanyu had a look that said 'as I thought.' Just as she was about to ask something else, a System prompt appeared.

"System: White Emperor has invited you to join the party. Do you accept?"

"This is a two-person quest, and I happen to need a support. Are you willing to join me?"

After sending the party invite, Lin Yue explained.

"System: Player Xia Moyanyu has joined the party."

"I'm willing, I'm willing!"

Xia Moyanyu nodded like a chicken pecking at grain. As a Healer, her leveling efficiency was naturally not high. Now that she was being carried by White Emperor Boss, she was more than happy; how could she possibly refuse?

"Follow me."

Tossing out those few words indifferently, Lin Yue left the Village Chief's house immediately to lead Xia Moyanyu to the quest location.

There were dozens of dilapidated small huts in the entire Novice Village. If others had taken the quest, it would have taken quite a bit of effort to find the right one, but Lin Yue walked straight toward the west side of the village.

A small hut next to the blacksmith shop was his destination.

Along the way, Xia Moyanyu was like a chatterbox with the floodgates opened, constantly asking about this and that. She had a cheerful personality and was a bit of a social butterfly.

"White Emperor Boss, your equipment is just too cool."

"Hey, White Emperor Boss, how did you clear the Dungeon of Gloomy Ruins so quickly? Is there some kind of guide? I see other players haven't cleared it yet."

"White Emperor Boss, your golden staff looks so powerful. Was it a drop from the dungeon?"

"White Emperor Boss..."

At first, Lin Yue would give a few simple replies, but as the questions continued, he simply didn't bother speaking and just nodded perfunctorily.

Entering the dilapidated hut together, the crumbling walls and spiderwebs made Lin Yue frown.

Stepping on the wooden floorboards produced a creaking sound, as if they might snap at any moment.

Lin Yue checked carefully and discovered a trapdoor in the floor at the center of the hut.

"Found it!"

Opening the floorboard, a locked cellar door came into view.

"Cough, White Emperor Boss, you're just too amazing. How did you find a cellar here?"

Xia Moyanyu's eyes sparkled. Not only was this White Emperor powerful, but his observation was also very meticulous. Crucially, he was also very handsome.

Character appearances in the Land of the Final End were taken from the real world; in the game, it was very rare for two identical faces to appear.

Face customization existed, but its effect was minimal.

Entering the cellar, their field of vision opened up; there was a whole different world below.

"It's so big."

Xia Moyanyu exclaimed in surprise; one couldn't tell at all from above that this was a cellar.

As soon as the two of them set foot on the ground, the scene changed. A giant blood-red magic circle appeared beneath their feet, and immediately after, dozens of monsters appeared out of thin air in front of them.

Succubus Male (elite): Level 15.

HP: 20,000 / 20,000

Attack: 698

Skills: Charm (Double damage to the opposite sex, ineffective against the same sex), Soul Siphon, Bloodthirsty Spell.

This one was a male Succubus, and there were also female succubi present with identical attributes and skills.

Lin Yue now understood why this quest absolutely required a party of opposite sexes to complete.

The treasure of the gods was not something easily obtained; one had to pass a trial and gain the recognition of the gods.

"Protect yourself."

Lin Yue said quickly. Even if these monsters dealt double damage, he was completely unfazed and could handle them alone.

"Don't worry, I won't die."

Xia Moyanyu was full of confidence. She had a King-level Talent; although her leveling was slow, killing her wouldn't be that easy.

Lin Yue nodded.

"Chain Fireball!"

This was currently the most efficient output method. While the damage was explosive, it could also continuously stack HP.

-2577

-2578x2

Lightning Spell!

-3001

With the buff from 'The Punisher - Renn,' Lin Yue's Magic Power was as high as 2,500 points. A single Spell attack dealt up to 10,000 points of damage. If he were lucky and all passives triggered, he could instantly kill a Succubus.

If they wanted to cast Charm on Lin Yue, they would actually need to have the time to do so.

A Succubus fell every two seconds. With the boost from 8 points of Movement Speed and Lin Yue's positioning skills, the monsters couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

Boom! Boom!

"Ah~"

The roar of Fireball Spells and the wails of falling succubi filled the entire cellar. The feeling was like a beautiful symphony.

Standing behind White Emperor, Xia Moyanyu was completely petrified. She knew White Emperor had a big reputation and was powerful, but she never imagined he would be this strong.

The shock of seeing it with her own eyes—these were Level 15 elite monsters!

"Ding! You have killed a Succubus Male, EXP +500."

"Ding! You have killed a Succubus Female, EXP +500."

...The experience points from killing higher-level monsters appeared again; at last, it wasn't a forced +1 EXP anymore.

Xia Moyanyu stared blankly at the high experience points. Before the dozens of succubi were even finished, she had leveled up from Level 6 to Level 7.

This was White Emperor; this was a boss!

Deep in Xia Moyanyu's heart, a sense of admiration faintly emerged. She, who was confident in her King-level Talent, was not so confident now.

If White Emperor wanted to kill her, he probably wouldn't even need to use a skill; she'd be dead from a single Magic Missile.

So strong!

So handsome!

His stalwart figure stood before her, and that cold expression while killing monsters was deeply captivating. Without her realizing it, two red blushes like mushrooms had appeared on Xia Moyanyu's face.

Two minutes!

The fifty male and female succubi hadn't even touched a single hair on Lin Yue before they all turned to ash and dissipated into the air.

Xia Moyanyu snapped out of her daze and finally squeezed out a sentence after a long while.

"White Emperor Boss, you... you are really too incredible!"

This wasn't flattery; Xia Moyanyu was truly shocked.

Lin Yue smiled and looked straight ahead. Ripples appeared in the air, and a hundred succubi appeared once more.

"There's actually more than one wave?"

However, even if the number doubled, they were just fodder.

The legendary staff waved through the air, and fireballs shot out violently as if they cost nothing, with bolts of lightning flashing occasionally. To the succubi, this fresh and delicious man before them now seemed like an awe-inspiring deity.

Rumble!

Under the baptism of thunder and fire, the hundred succubi didn't last five minutes before being wiped out again.

"Ding! Player Xia Moyanyu has reached Level 8."

Xia Moyanyu stood in the corner with wide eyes. In less than ten short minutes, she had leveled up from Level 6 to Level 8.

This leveling speed was simply terrifying!
