Chapter 63

"If it really doesn't work out, come to my family; I can protect you for a few days, haha."

She leaned in and said humorously to Shen Baiyi.

Shen Baiyi had killed many demons in the rookie dungeon, and similarly... he had also provoked many young masters from big families.

Because those family descendants liked to rob ordinary rookies of their supplies and loot.

And Shen Baiyi, full of righteousness, had stopped them all.

So, he now had enemies all over the world, but he didn't have any backing.

He was now like walking on the edge of an abyss; one wrong step, and he would be ruined.

However, facing the olive branch thrown by Mo Mei, the eldest daughter of the Mo family, Shen Baiyi ignored her completely.

With a cold face, he left alone.

He was also a lone wolf.

His real name was Shen Yixi.

Because he often wore white clothes, he was also called Shen Baiyi.

He had no family and walked out of the slums.

He spent the first half of his life begging, living in the sewers.

When he was ten, because he had no money, he watched his mother die of illness.

Now, he was brilliant and had tasted the sweetness after the bitterness.

He had experienced it.

Therefore, he knew best how painful the lives of those at the bottom of society were.

So after he awakened as a genius, his ideal was to help the weakest people.

"Tsk, unappreciative of romance." Mo Mei looked at his departing back and smiled faintly.

"Then so be it."

"Anyway, I still have another handsome guy."

Saying this, she looked at Su Ming in the distance, her eyes like she was admiring prey.

The people around, with grave expressions, were also looking at Su Ming from afar.

"I guess he must be here to cancel the mission."

"Let's see how things develop; if Su Ming's attempt to cancel the mission is rejected, maybe we can go up and befriend him and successfully form a squad?"

"Yes, it's easy to add flowers to a brocade, but hard to provide charcoal in snowy weather; perhaps we can take this opportunity to have a top-tier genius friend."

Some Heavenly Tower Society rookies said in low voices.

Every year, only those who excel in the rookie dungeon have the qualifications to join the Heavenly Tower Society.

So everyone here was a genius.

But there were differences even among geniuses.

Su Ming, with his ten-star talent, was clearly worth their solicitation.

Although he accepted a D-level mission and would definitely fail, people didn't mock him.

After all, this was a ten-star Sword Controller who was ranked first in the number 144 rookie dungeon.

After showing his strength, naturally, no one dared to look down on him.

And Su Ming was very strong.

The one thing people feared most was that it was said Su Ming had reached level sixteen in the rookie dungeon... ===== CHAPTER 156 =====

It was said that Su Ming had reached level sixteen in the rookie dungeon.

That's right, level sixteen.

This achievement was the first in the history of the Dragon Country.

The high-level officials of Xuanjing City, in order to protect Su Ming, had tried their best to seal the news.

However, there were too many players in the dungeon, and everyone could see the ranking, so Su Ming's achievement naturally couldn't be completely hidden.

Soon, it spread across the country like fire.

Among the young generation of geniuses, it was basically known to all.

Since the arrival of Awakening Day, no one had been able to reach such a high level in the rookie dungeon.

There had been many ten-star geniuses in history, and they could only reach about level 12 on average in the rookie dungeon.

This year, talents were emerging, and one of the strongest monsters, Shen Baiyi, had only reached level 14.

And Su Ming had reached level 16.

Regardless of whether his profession was strong or weak, everyone had to be wary of him.

But everyone still didn't believe he could complete the D-level mission.

After all, the D-level mission was indeed too difficult.

Second Rank monsters, that was level 20 or higher.

The attributes of monsters were inherently higher than those of humans.

The gap in levels and attributes could not be compensated for by talent alone.

"I estimate he's here to cancel the mission."

"Me too."

People rubbed their chins and inferred.

In fact, many people attributed the reason Su Ming could reach level 16 to opportunity.

The word "opportunity" is so clever.

All unexpected things in the world can be explained by opportunity.

In dungeons, there are indeed extremely rare heavenly treasures that appear sometimes.

Once encountered, they can rapidly improve a person's strength.

In the history of the Dragon Country, there was once a student who obtained a piece of Heaven-Slashing Grass, an epic-tier sword-forging material, in the rookie dungeon; after coming out and selling it, he just lived a life of ease for the rest of his life.

Fifty years ago, there was another rookie who ate a fruit in the rookie dungeon, directly increasing his level by 3, and with five-star talent, he reached level 7, ranking eighth in the dungeon.

Even more, some obtained certain treasures in the rookie dungeon that increased their star-level talent attributes.

These were all real, recorded historical facts.

So Su Ming being able to reach level 16, although he pioneered history, didn't make anyone feel that his strength was particularly strong.

Maybe it was just due to opportunity?

If you want to say that luck is also a part of strength, that's another matter.

Just in terms of actual combat power, people were more inclined to identify Su Ming as a genius slightly stronger than the average genius.

That is, the upper-middle class among geniuses.

Perhaps on the same level as Mo Mei or Zhang Tang, or even stronger.

But still a bit behind Shen Baiyi.

And even Shen Baiyi didn't dare to say he could solo a D-level mission monster.

Su Ming?

Even more impossible.

Indeed, there are no useless professions, only useless job-changers; this statement is true.

Occasionally, there are geniuses who can exert powerful combat power from seemingly weak professions.

They believed Su Ming was indeed such a person; otherwise, relying solely on opportunity, he couldn't have reached level 16.

But no matter how you exert your profession, you can't break through the shackles of the level gap.

Overall, people still viewed this matter pessimistically.

D-level mission monsters cannot be defeated by a rookie alone!

Su Ming's hearing was very acute, and he took in the words of everyone around him.

But he was very steady; having lived two lives, he would no longer have a ripple in his heart because of such things.

In his heart, there was only his own goal.

"I need to process some business."

He stared quietly at the female clerk in front of him, his eyes calm and composed.

The female clerk, discovering it was Su Ming, this very familiar face.

Her expression immediately turned a bit cold. ===== CHAPTER 157 =====
