20: Old Man Chen shocked the old village chief and learned new skills!

"Ding! I Want to Defy the Heavens has transferred 150,000 to you. It has been automatically deposited into your bank card!"

The bank card was automatically bound when the identity information was linked, making withdrawals very convenient.

Seeing the amount, Chen Beixuan was slightly stunned.

It wasn't that he was given too little, but too much.

After all, it was level 10 equipment and couldn't be worn immediately.

Moreover, aside from the green longsword and skill book being decent, the other white-grade equipment wasn't worth much.

He estimated these items were currently worth about 100,000 at most, but he didn't expect to receive 150,000.

Seeing his expression, Lu Ziming thought he was unhappy with the amount and quickly explained, "My dad froze my bank card. Grandpa, please don't think it's too little."

Chen Beixuan smiled and shook his head, indicating he didn't think it was too little.

Lu Ziming sighed and said to himself, "I'm living very frugally right now. I only have about sixty million, and there will be many places to spend money in the future. I hope Grandpa understands."

Chen Beixuan's expression stiffened, and he suddenly felt like calling the police.

"Officer, it's this person who's showing off!"

The thought flashed through his mind...

Chen Beixuan waved his hand, not wanting to continue the topic, and changed the subject.

"Next, I'm planning to return to Newbie Village. What about you guys?"

He intended to go back, hand the letter to the Novice Village Chief, and then visit the main city.

To stay ahead, he couldn't stop.

"We still need to level up quickly, Grandpa. You go do your thing," Lu Ziming said, understanding the hint.

Chen Beixuan nodded, said goodbye, and turned to leave...

......

Newbie Village, outside the resurrection spring.

Chen Fan and the other two, whose levels had dropped to 2, walked out with gloomy expressions.

"That old man is really vengeful. Out of so many people, he only killed us. We wasted half a day grinding again..."

Kun Ge's face was grim as he grumbled angrily.

Chen Fan and Liu Ruyun's faces were uncertain, and they remained silent.

After this incident,

they knew this grudge couldn't be avenged and they could only accept their loss.

Even Manager Zhang had issued a retreat order, so what could they do?

From now on, they could only avoid that old man when they saw him...

"It's all your fault! You said the game could make money, and I played with you all night, but it was all for nothing. If you didn't want to buy me a bag, you should have just said so!"

Liu Ruyun recalled the night's events and couldn't help but complain.

Slap!

A crisp sound!

"Bags, bags, bags! All you know is bags! Is there nothing else in your head besides bags?!"

Chen Fan's face was ashen. Having suppressed his frustration all night, he finally exploded.

Liu Ruyun covered her face and widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

"You actually... dared to hit me?"

"I..."

After hitting and scolding, Chen Fan suddenly sobered up, and his expression became flustered.

"I... I'm sorry. I... I was impulsive, Ruyun, Ruyun!"

Watching Liu Ruyun's figure gradually disappear, Chen Fan was filled with regret.

After bidding farewell to Kun Ge, he quickly logged off...

......

Outside Newbie Village, Level 3 area.

Meat Mountain brought his core members back to continue leveling up. Manager Zhang was also waiting there.

Seeing Manager Zhang, Meat Mountain couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

"Manager Zhang, what's that kid's background that he could get Manager Zhao to move?"

Manager Zhang glanced at him and reprimanded, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't. You just need to know that he's not someone we can afford to offend."

"Sigh, I'm just a little curious. It's like a cat scratching at my heart..." Meat Mountain mumbled softly, feeling depressed.

Manager Zhang's expression softened slightly. After pondering for a moment, he whispered a reminder, "I heard the chairman of the head office had a falling out with his son and came to our Morning Wind City..."

Meat Mountain's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he almost cried out.

"Is that kid..."

"Shh--"

Manager Zhang looked around, and seeing no one was paying attention, he continued,

"I didn't say that; it's just a guess, but it's probably true..."

"No wonder..." Meat Mountain's face was filled with shock. He suddenly thought of something and hesitated, "What about Old Man Chen...?"

Manager Zhang's face darkened when he heard Old Man Chen.

Then, like a deflated ball, he said bitterly, "With that kid around, we can't touch him. Don't provoke him in the future."

"But... what if he attacks us first?"

"Hmph, if he attacks first, one word..."

"Fight?"

"...... Fight your head! Of course, we endure!"

"......"

......

On the other side,

Chen Beixuan had already returned to Newbie Village and found the Novice Village Chief with the letter.

The Novice Village Chief was still standing in the center of the square with a cold face, as if preoccupied.

Seeing this, Chen Beixuan straightened his back, cleared his throat, and walked over.

"Oh, isn't this the Village Chief? Long time no see."

The Novice Village Chief turned and glanced at him. His cloudy eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

"You... you're already level 10?"

"Heh, I just went for a stroll and came back at level 10. Anyone with hands can do it."

"......"

Black lines appeared on the Novice Village Chief's forehead, and his facial muscles twitched.

After the shock, he regained his cold demeanor and said indifferently, "What if you're level 10? If you don't solve the Death Qi problem, you're destined to stay here forever..."

"Here, your letter." Chen Beixuan smiled, took out the letter from his bag, and handed it over.

The Novice Village Chief took it and his eyes widened again!

Feeling the trace of death qi on the letter, his withered hands began to tremble.

"This... have you already been to the Death Qi Cave?"

He looked up at Chen Beixuan with a face full of disbelief, his emotions very complex.

Watching the Novice Village Chief's reaction, Chen Beixuan felt like drinking a cold soda on a hot summer day.

Completely refreshed!

He chuckled, "That Basasai-what's-his-name has been killed by me. Can I go to the main city now?"

"Yes! Absolutely!"

The Novice Village Chief heard that Saens had died and instantly changed, smiling with a face full of wrinkles.

"Without the Death Qi suppression, the teleportation array can operate normally. You can go whenever you want."

"To thank you for your contributions to the village, please accept my gift."

"Ding! You have completed the C-rank quest [Eliminate Death Qi], gaining 500 experience points and 3 silver coins!"

"You have obtained the quest item [Recommendation Letter]!"

"You have obtained the skill book [Spell Range Amplification]!"

"Ding! Experience points have reached the level 10 cap. Please proceed to the main city for class advancement. You can continue leveling up after class advancement!"

Chen Beixuan's eyes lit up, and he took out the skill book.

--------

[Spell Range Amplification] ★

Description: Increases spell range by 10%. Casting spells on targets beyond 15 meters can increase proficiency. Passive effect activates automatically.

--------

"It's simply perfect for me..."

He grinned and immediately learned the skill.

"You have learned a new skill [Spell Range Amplification]!"

Normal mages below level 50 have a spell range of 20 meters, which doubles every 50 levels.

His current range was 22 meters, and it would continue to increase gradually.

Increased spell range meant greater operational space.

This skill was simply divine; he wouldn't trade it for a purple-grade equipment!

"Does everyone who completes this quest get this skill book?" Chen Beixuan's heart stirred, and he suddenly asked.
