Chapter 51: A Small Misunderstanding

Ye Lin’s voice was low. He then condensed Geng Metal Qi with one hand, and golden light poured continuously from his body, gathering in his palm. Facing the level 33 Goblin Brave, Ye Lin did not hold back in the slightest.

"Forbidden Spell—Eternal Geng Metal!"

A golden long spear, revealing an ancient and mysterious aura from the inside out, appeared in Ye Lin’s hand.

Ye Lin raised his hand to grip the spear. He swung his arm violently, and the golden long spear whistled through the air, piercing directly toward the Goblin Brave.

The golden long spear pierced straight through the head of the heavily wounded Goblin Brave, killing it instantly.

[Party kill of level 33 Goblin Brave, rewarded 220 experience points, obtained item Symbiosis Talisman.]

"Huh? It dropped something?" Ye Lin was somewhat surprised. Killing monsters had a chance to drop items, equipment, or skill scrolls, but the probability was extremely low. He hadn't expected one to drop from this Goblin Brave.

However, now was not the time to check. He turned and ran without a moment's hesitation.

"Damn it! You beast, who the hell are you? Which department are you from? Who steals a kill like that?" The proctor holding the giant axe was so angry his nose almost went crooked.

The two of them had been fighting for ages, and this guy appeared and killed the Goblin Brave in a single strike. It was simply outrageous.

"Call me the Good Guy!"

Ye Lin’s voice drifted from afar.

"Good guy my ass!"

The proctor grabbed his axe and prepared to chase, but the other proctor hurriedly stopped him.

"Forget it, no need to rush. Maintaining order in the examination hall is most important. I’ve already memorized this guy’s face; we’ll settle the score with him later!"

"Fine! It’s infuriating. We’re all proctors, we see each other all the time, and he actually stole the kill!" the proctor with the giant axe cursed.

On the other side, Ye Lin first circled around to return the clothes and proctor ID to the unconscious proctor, then turned and left. He brushed off his clothes and departed, hiding his merit and fame.

I have to say, the Phantom Face Mask is truly useful. Once the mask is off, those two proctors could never find him even if they died trying.

Only then did Ye Lin check the item he had just obtained.

[Symbiosis Talisman: Holding hands, living together. Two class-changers with a level difference of less than 10 use the Symbiosis Talisman after interlocking fingers. For the next six hours, the experience points gained by both from hunting monsters are fully shared.]

[Note: Only one person can be linked with the Symbiosis Talisman at a time.]

Whoa!

This is good stuff, Ye Lin’s eyes lit up.

He had originally planned to bring Ji Lingyu along until he reached level 10 and then dump him, but with the Symbiosis Talisman, even if Ji Lingyu killed the monsters, he would still receive the full amount of experience points.

It’s just that the way this Symbiosis Talisman is used is a bit perverted—it actually requires interlocking fingers.

When Ye Lin found Ji Lingyu, this guy was being chased by a level 13 Anubis Soldier.

That Anubis Soldier was surrounded by black smoke, and beneath its dust-covered armor was nothing but a mass of shadows.

Seeing Ye Lin, Ji Lingyu was instantly overjoyed.

"Boss! You’re okay, that’s great! What about that Goblin Brave?"

"Don't worry, that Goblin Brave has already been slain by other proctors." Ye Lin smiled faintly, then walked forward, extended his warm, large hand, and like a spirit snake, it wound around to tightly interlock fingers with Ji Lingyu.

Ji Lingyu’s whole body shuddered. He stood frozen on the spot, his pupils shrinking violently.

Although he had interlocked fingers with girls many times, this was truly his first time doing it with a man!

Even the Anubis Soldier opposite them seemed stunned, struggling to understand what was happening.

Ji Lingyu couldn't help but swallow hard. No wonder Ye Lin didn't fancy any of the maids when he was at his house; so this was his preference?

Ji Lingyu waged a war within himself. He remembered how Ye Lin had desperately saved his father, didn't mind that he was a burden, brought him along to level up, and even told him to run first while he went to lure the monsters away when they were in danger.

Thinking of these little details, Ji Lingyu finally made a decision in his heart that went against his ancestors.

"Boss... if that's what you want, then come on. Just be a little gentle." Ji Lingyu lowered his head, even carrying a hint of shyness unique to a young girl.

Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, looking at Ji Lingyu with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Oh right, here." Ji Lingyu handed a small blue-capped plastic box to Ye Lin.

"What is this?" Ye Lin asked in return.

"Vaseline!" Ji Lingyu’s face turned pale. "Boss, you aren't planning to force it, are you? You can't do it without lubricant!"

Ye Lin: "..."

He used the Symbiosis Talisman at light speed, then pushed Ji Lingyu away.

"Get lost, get far away!"

Ye Lin then slashed at the Anubis Soldier, and accompanied by a flash of starlight, only a pile of broken armor remained on the ground.

Under the effect of the Symbiosis Talisman, both Ye Lin and Ji Lingyu gained 130 experience points.

"This is... a Symbiosis Talisman? Boss, where did you get such a good thing? This is a treasure you can't buy even with money!" Ji Lingyu said excitedly.

Then a look of disappointment flashed across his face. So it was just a Symbiosis Talisman; he had thought Ye Lin had a penchant for men.

"Don't call me boss, stay away from me! What kind of man carries Vaseline around with him!"

This time, it was Ye Lin’s turn to look at Ji Lingyu with a strange gaze.

"It's a misunderstanding, Boss! I use that bottle of Vaseline to apply to my lips; they get chapped easily!" Ji Lingyu cried out in grievance.

"Regardless of what's going on, we should just split up. That’s the only way to maximize the effect of the Symbiosis Talisman."

Ye Lin turned and left without a moment's hesitation.

Carrying the Starfall Heaven Scar, he began a massacre.

With proctors blocking the perimeter, monsters above level 25 couldn't enter the examination area at all. Therefore, Ye Lin didn't need to use any other forbidden spells; the Yang Life Blade Technique combined with the 300 points of strength added by the Starfall Heaven Scar was enough for Ye Lin to dominate the examination hall.

However, he didn't make himself too conspicuous. When he encountered monsters lower in level than him, he would kill them in one strike; when he met those higher, he would put on a show of fighting for a while before killing them in one strike.

During this time, he also suffered quite a few injuries, but under the cover of the Twin Yin-Yang Bracelet’s healing skill, he used his Undying Body to recover and immediately continued hunting monsters.

On the other side, Ji Lingyu was already stunned, because from just a moment ago until now, his level had been skyrocketing.

He didn't need to think to know that Ye Lin must be killing like crazy on the other side, because under the effect of the Symbiosis Talisman, their experience points were shared.

Ji Lingyu suddenly understood what it felt like for Liu Shan to be held in Zhao Yun’s arms as he charged in and out of the Cao army seven times, killing everything in his path.

He was responsible for the cheering, and Ye Lin was responsible for the slaughter!
