Chapter 15

The case opened, and the steam dissipated.

What came into view was the skill badge Li Yao had received before, only the label on it had changed to 'S'.

Besides that, there were several bottles of unknown potions shimmering with flowing light.

"So that's it!" The doubt in Li Yao's heart was suddenly cleared up!

The Classmate Yuwen family sent people to attack him mostly for this stuff!

Li Yao held the S-rank skill badge, playing with it incessantly, unable to put it down.

A-rank skills were already worth a thousand gold, and higher S-rank ones almost never appeared on the market.

Even if they appeared at an auction, it would be through barter; money couldn't buy them!

You have to know,

even S-rank professionals only have a chance to comprehend S-rank skills when they complete advancement missions every twenty levels.

After comprehending them, they treat them as trump cards.

Thinking of this, Li Yao no longer planned to exchange it for a summon-type skill book.

He possessed the Star Up talent, so even an S-rank summon would only cost a few dozen gold coins.

Using it here would be a complete waste.

Li Yao used the computer in the room to open the Star Network.

If he remembered correctly, there was a skill that every summoner dreamed of that belonged to the S-rank category.

He just didn't know if the Star Network had it in stock.

He opened the search page and entered the keywords.

A skill book appeared on the page.

"They have it!"

Li Yao was pleasantly surprised and quickly clicked to exchange.

In an instant,

the S-rank skill badge slowly disappeared, replaced by an ancient, yellowed book.

Li Yao reached out and touched it.

[Shackles (S): The summoner can designate one summon to connect with a soul shackle. The summoner can share all attributes and skills of that summon. Duration: 20 minutes. Cooldown: 6 hours.]

This skill could be said to perfectly fit Li Yao's situation.

Moreover, Li Yao had one, and only one, summon to connect with.

The Void Mantis.

Infinitely increasing the strength attribute, paired with the Chess Player talent,

it could only be called an unsolvable combination.

Furthermore, a 20-minute duration was already more than enough.

After activating attribute sharing, if he couldn't resolve the enemy in 20 minutes, Li Yao should seriously think about how to run away.

It could be said that for Li Yao, this S-rank skill was comparable to those legendary double-S skills.

After learning the skill, Li Yao's gaze fell on the remaining few bottles of potions.

Being able to be placed in the same case as an S-rank skill,

they surely weren't simple items!

There was a list at the bottom of the case explaining the effects of the potions.

S-rank Four-Dimensional Potions.

Now Li Yao finally knew how generous the Dragon Kingdom's official authorities were to geniuses.

Four-Dimensional Potions could be consumed once every 20 levels.

The currently known highest rating was S, which could permanently increase the corresponding attributes.

You have to know,

every 20 levels, professionals undergo an advancement mission.

The mission must be completed alone; only after completing it can one continue to increase their level.

And the mission completion rate determines subsequent growth space.

This meant that every professional would do their utmost to increase their immediate combat power at every stage.

Four-Dimensional Potions were undoubtedly the most direct way to increase combat power.

It was equivalent to having a large chunk of attributes more than others for free.

Li Yao was a summoner, so strength was the most useless attribute.

Therefore, there was no strength potion among the four-dimensional potions.

There was one bottle each for the other three attributes.

One bottle increased 20 points of attributes, equivalent to the increase of two levels for a professional.

This kind of thing was like an S-rank skill book; it would never appear on the market, and most ordinary professionals wouldn't even have the qualifications to touch such divine items in their lifetime.

Li Yao drank the three bottles of potions.

The taste was a bit like cold medicine, bitter and astringent.

Four-Dimensional Potions didn't increase attributes instantly; they required several hours to digest the medicinal power, and the body would experience weakness, dizziness, and discomfort.

Li Yao lay directly on the bed and closed his eyes.

As long as I fall asleep fast enough, suffering can't catch up to me!

Night fell.

Li Yao climbed off the bed, felt the abundant power in his body, and nodded with satisfaction.

He left the city again, heading straight for the Goblin Nest dungeon.

Li Yao climbed onto the Void Mantis's back and sped off in one direction.

Very quickly,

a huge vortex appeared before Li Yao's eyes.

At the same time,

noisy sounds followed, like a vegetable market, roughly pouring into his ears.

"Molten Guild, four need one, normal difficulty, looking for level 15+ magic output professionals, C-rank and above, professional speed-run team, guaranteed no wipes!"

"Normal difficulty, looking for a healer for a speed run! What? You're only level 7? Why aren't you grinding the newbie dungeon and coming here? Get lost! What? 200,000 Dragon coins? Boss, please come in!"

"Silver Wolf Guild, looking for two level 17 B-rank output professionals, raiding hard difficulty, loot distributed by contribution."

"Classmate Yuwen family hunting team, equipped with several pieces of level 15 silver gear, sincerely inviting level 17 tanks with 200+ stamina, raiding master difficulty, mercenaries welcome, price negotiable!"

The Goblin Nest was located on the border of Jiangzhou and was a must-pass road for all professionals in Jiangzhou to level up.

Almost since it opened, it had been this crowded.

Li Yao walked under the vortex.

Looking at the scene before him, it felt like returning to the online games he played in his past life.

"Young Master!"

In the crowd, someone noticed Li Yao and shouted.

Li Yao looked over, nodded, and didn't say much.

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

As the largest adventure guild in Jiangzhou, the Silver Wolf Guild naturally had people specifically operating in dungeons like the Goblin Nest.

It wasn't just the Silver Wolf Guild;

the Classmate Yuwen family, the Qin family,

Li Yao could see their figures too.

Just then, a team was teleported out of the secret realm.

Their gear was severely damaged, and they were all in a sorry state.

"This must be the Qin family's team; looks like they failed the raid again and were forced to use a dungeon escape scroll."

"An escape scroll costs 1 million Dragon coins, 5 million for 5 people, plus the wear and tear on high-quality gear—is it really necessary to challenge master difficulty regardless of the cost?"

"Why wouldn't it be? The final leader of master difficulty is the Goblin Grand General; if they kill him, they might get gold-tier gear!"

"Gold-tier gear? With the Qin family's financial resources, it shouldn't be hard to just buy one, right?"

"You don't know about this, do you? Look, see who that is? The Qin family's second young lady, Qin Qin Yue, an A-rank Thunder Walker."

"Now the entire Qin family's focus is on Qin Qin Yue." ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
