19: Chapter 19 Nighttime Attack!

Back in Tianyang City, Lu Yin went straight to the Professional Association.

The trading method of the Professional Association is quite advanced; one can upload the items they want to trade on a terminal.

The terminal system performs a data evaluation to provide a relatively fair price.

Of course, you can modify the price if you wish, as the price given by the terminal is only for reference.

Once someone pays with a crystal card, the terminal's built-in teleportation array activates.

It transfers the item to the terminal operated by the buyer to complete the online transaction, which is very convenient and reliable.

Lu Yin found a small trading room and walked in.

In such trading venues, everyone has privacy, so terminals are placed in independent small rooms.

Turning on the terminal screen, Lu Yin logged into his association account.

An association account can only be registered by Professionals; whether trading items or accepting or posting tasks, everything is done through the account.

Just after logging in, several pop-up ads filled the screen.

"Real voice, online chat, let your leveling journey no longer be lonely..."

"Ten Cats Fiction, read books for free for ten thousand years..."

"If you're a brother, come..."

"..."

Lu Yin was speechless and closed them one by one.

No matter the era, advertising has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Lu Yin found the trading page and placed all the items he wanted to sell on the small teleportation array connected to the terminal.

[Trading Terminal: No. A-734]

[Evaluating item value...]

[Berserk Greatsword (silver-grade): Estimated price 200,000 star essence]

[Earth Dragon Scale Armor (gold-grade): Estimated price 1.2 million star essence]

[Dark Crystal (Rare Material): Estimated price 450,000 star essence]

[Dragon Lizard Fang (Rare Material): Estimated price 380,000 star essence]

[Confirm listing?]

Lu Yin looked at the price displayed on the terminal screen and nodded slightly.

This price was close to what he expected, so he didn't bother to modify it.

After finishing this, he went to an association lounge for a short nap.

Although he cleared Dungeons relying on the Death Soldier, controlling these soldiers also consumed a significant amount of energy.

After a brief rest, Lu Yin and the Three Women continued their journey.

This time, Lu Yin cleared the Gloomy Cave, while Lin Wei's trio cleared the surrounding wild monsters.

[Ding! You killed a Venomous Spider, experience points increased by 12,000!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to Level 8!]

[...]

Soon, night fell, and the originally clear sky grew darker.

Lu Yin stood at the entrance of the Gloomy Cave and glanced at his attribute panel.

[Name: Lu Yin]

[Class: Death Monarch (3-Star mythical-grade)]

[Level: 8 (11.8%)]

[Strength: 180 (3), Constitution: 180 (20)]

[Agility: 180, Spirit: 180 (25)]

[Equipment: novice longsword, Shadow Meditation Ring, lava earring]

[Talent: Death Soul Extraction: Killing any creature grants a corresponding quality soul of death]

[Death Space: 54/80]

[Skills: Death Soul Explosion, Death Soul Endowment, Death Coil]

[...]

"Not bad, only Level 8, but my four basic attributes are probably catching up to Level 20 for many classes."

"At this rate, I should be able to break through Level 10 tomorrow."

Lu Yin calculated to himself.

Once he reached Level 10, not only could he obtain new skills, but he could also summon a Legion Commander, which he was quite looking forward to.

Just then, Lin Wei's trio approached, their faces showing some concern.

"Lu Yin, it's getting late, we should return to the city."

"The wilderness at night is dangerous, and our consumables are almost gone."

"Yeah, I know. Let's head back to the city first."

Lu Yin nodded.

He hadn't planned on spending the night in the wild; after a long day of work, he naturally needed to rest and recharge at night.

While he didn't fear any person or monster in the wild, he still couldn't sleep soundly.

Of course, he could also choose the Professional safe zone at the West River Dungeon.

Many Professionals gathered there, and wild monsters wouldn't respawn at night.

But even if one didn't have to guard against monsters, they still had to beware of other Professionals.

Lu Yin and the Three Women returned to Tianyang City along the forest path.

The moonlight began to rise, and the shadows of the trees in the forest swayed.

Occasionally, the hooting of a night owl could be heard, making it seem exceptionally quiet.

"Today's harvest was really good; we got a lot of useful materials."

Su Xiaoyu walked at the very front, skipping along with a light tone.

Tang Wan smiled gently: "Yes, I thought we were going to lose our lives, but unexpectedly, we turned misfortune into a blessing and met a benefactor like Lu Yin."

Lin Wei walked beside Lu Yin, her expression filled with a bit of vigilance.

As the leader of the team, she was well aware of the dangers of the wilderness at night.

"Everyone be careful. Although there aren't many monsters on this path, we still can't be careless..."

Before she could finish, Lu Yin suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wei immediately became alert.

Lu Yin didn't answer but scanned the surroundings.

"Since you've come, why hide?"

His voice was calm but carried an unquestionable authority.

In the darkness, two figures slowly stepped out.

They were completely shrouded in black clothes, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"Very sharp perception, kid," one of them sneered. "But unfortunately, you're going to die here today."

The other added: "You only have yourself to blame for offending someone you shouldn't have."

The Three Women immediately became tense and struck battle stances.

Su Xiaoyu shouted: "Who are you? Daring to commit a crime on the outskirts of Tianyang City, aren't you afraid the Professional Association will investigate?"

The first man in black laughed wickedly: "Little girl, dead people don't complain."

"And such a pretty little girl, I haven't tasted one in a long time."

Hearing the man in black's brazen words, the Three Women's beautiful eyes filled with terror.

These were completely the lines of desperate outlaws.

Then the man in black took a step forward and displayed his Professional information.

[Level 46: Berserker]

The other also followed suit and displayed his.

[Level 44: Shadow Assassin]

His figure almost blended into the night, playing with two poisoned daggers in his hands, emitting a dangerous aura.

The moment they saw the information of the two, the faces of Lin Wei and the other two women turned pale instantly.

Level 46 and Level 44, this was far beyond what they could handle.

They probably couldn't even break through the opponent's defense.

Only Lu Yin could maintain his composure.

"Someone I shouldn't have offended? Could it be that Zhao Gao sent you?"

Hearing the name Zhao Gao, the two obviously paused for a moment.

However, they were clearly not novices; even after being exposed, they didn't panic at all.

"Heh, being too smart won't let you live long."

The Berserker chuckled, then drew a sharp greatsword, his entire being emitting a shivering aura.

"Lu Yin, what should we do?"

Lin Wei forced herself to calm down and asked Lu Yin.

She knew Lu Yin was strong and could defeat a Level 30 wild BOSS.

But facing Professionals in their forties, she had no confidence.

After all, Professionals were different from wild monsters; they not only had powerful equipment and skill boosts.

More importantly, they possessed intelligence that wild monsters couldn't match.

"You guys go first, we'll meet in the city."

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed; since the other side had decided to silence them, he naturally wouldn't show mercy.

It was just that some things were better not seen by innocent people.

"Oh? Want to leave?" The Berserker sneered, swinging his greatsword.

"Tonight is a good day for killing; none of you are going anywhere."

Meanwhile, the Shadow Assassin had hidden in the darkness at some point; if anyone dared to make a move, they would surely suffer his fatal blow.
