Chapter 48

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Killing the top heaven-gifted of the Yan family’s generation in front of that old bastard was undoubtedly equivalent to slapping their faces hard; it would be strange if it got out.

Plus the words he released afterward,

people from the Federation side would also try their best to cover up the news.

However,

Li Yao wasn’t worried about whether his words would have any effect after the news was covered up.

A Purgatory-grade First Clear treasure chest was enough to make most people take risks.

Even within the Federation, there would definitely be people who were tempted.

Word of mouth would spread,

and it was only a matter of time before it spread among the higher-ups.

The Yan family was a behemoth in Jingcheng; one First Clear treasure chest might not be enough to topple them,

but

causing them some trouble wouldn’t be a problem.

Li Yao’s goal was just that.

If I can’t topple you now, I’ll disgust you to death!

“Hmph! If you won’t say, you won’t say; I’ll naturally know when the auction happens!”

Qin Qin Yue let out a soft snort, then rubbed her little hands, looking flattering.

“Young Master Li, this little... pfft!”

“Young Master Li called me over, it wouldn’t just be to talk about the auction, right?”

“Of course not.”

“I asked you before, do you have any friends who possess an item like the Abyss Mirror?”

“Clang, clang, clang!” Qin Qin Yue took a mirror out of her storage space and exaggeratedly provided sound effects for it.

“Look at what this is!”

“Abyss Mirror Plus! It can be enough for us to grind five Nightmare-grade instances!”

“Xuanxuan has to follow her forging mentor to learn now, so she doesn’t have time to come over, so she lent this to me. How about it, reliable, right?”

“Reliable!”

In the next two days,

Li Yao took Qin Qin Yue to grind seven Nightmare-grade Blood Moon Forest instances.

Five times with the Abyss Mirror, the first time at the beginning, and the last time after the instance cooldown ended.

Finally,

when the final boss died in the last run,

[Leapfrog kill of a Lord-level creature, Vampire Count, experience +15%]

[Void Predator completed evolutionary devouring, obtained maximum health]

[Level reached 20, obtained 10 free attribute points; chess piece population limit +1; Hextech draw ×1]

[Hedge fund triggered, gold coins +10]

[Professional level reached 20, current experience value limit is 0%, do you want to claim the Second-Turn mission?]

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

Li Yao took a look.

Whether it was the new chess piece population or the Hextech draw, they were all gray on the system panel display.

It seemed he had to prioritize completing the Second-Turn mission.

At this moment, there were nine days left until the Martial Exam.

Qin Qin Yue followed Li Yao to pick up experience and also reached level 18; it shouldn’t be a problem to reach level 20 in the last few days.

“Next, you’re going to complete the Second-Turn mission, right?”

Qin Qin Yue stretched and asked comfortably.

In these two days, she had experienced three stages:

shock, doubting life, and enjoyment.

Enjoying the ultimate leveling speed, to the point that she now thought leveling up was supposed to be like this.

“Right.” Li Yao nodded.

“Quick, see which instance you need to go to, I’ll help you check the information!”

Qin Qin Yue said excitedly.

“Don’t take it lightly; with your strength, the mission must be terrifyingly difficult!”

Qin Qin Yue shrank her neck, as if thinking of something terrifying.

Breakthrough missions were related to one’s own strength.

Li Yao could swim like a dragon in a Nightmare-grade instance, so the Second-Turn mission

was likely Purgatory-grade.

“Let me see.”

Li Yao selected to claim the Second-Turn mission on the system panel.

[Ding! Claiming Second-Turn mission!]

[Claim failed!]

[Hextech system is interfering with the Second-Turn mission]

[Ding! Cloud Top Chess Player exclusive Second-Turn mission claimed successfully!]

[Mission Introduction: As the strongest summoning-type profession, how can you not have your own ace summoned creature? Go to the highest floor of the Tower of Heaven, crusade against the Dark Wing - Gainart. The mission completion degree will be settled based on the crusade results; the higher the mission completion degree, the more perfect the job change.]

[Obtained temporary mission item: Chess Piece Contract Card: Can contract a monster to become a chess piece; the lower the monster’s remaining health, the higher the success probability of the contract (Remaining time: 23:59)]

“Tower of Heaven.”

Li Yao was very familiar with this building.

Most professionals’ Second-Turn missions were conducted inside it.

It was just that they challenged different floors based on their professional rank.

He also had a rough idea of the monsters inside.

But this monster called Dark Wing, why didn’t he have any impression of it?

Li Yao looked at Qin Qin Yue; looking at her expression, she didn’t seem to know either.

He immediately bid her farewell.

Returning to his room at the Star Network Exchange,

he entered the keyword ‘Dark Wing’ on the computer.

[Dark Wing - Gainart: Humanoid creature, inhabits the Purgatory-grade difficulty of the Tower of Heaven; appears after killing the final boss of the Purgatory difficulty, responsible for issuing clearance rewards.]

Looking at the introduction, Li Yao was a bit stunned.

Isn’t this an NPC?

How do you crusade against it?

Tower of Heaven.

A functional building that descended upon the Dragon Kingdom eight years ago, located in Qinghai City.

The entry restriction is level 15 to 25; most professionals’ Second-Turn missions are conducted here.

So much so that professionals from all over the country flocked to Qinghai City, bringing huge economic benefits.

In just a few short years, Qinghai City leaped from a small city to become one of the twelve main cities of the Dragon Kingdom.

Even compared to Sangyu City, in terms of professional atmosphere alone, Qinghai City was even thicker.

Qinghai City was also the target of Li Yao’s trip.

Yesterday, after reaching level 20, Li Yao returned home to have a meal with his parents, settled some things, and then took the early flight today to fly to Qinghai City.

Qinghai City was not far from Jiangzhou, located north of Sangyu City; the flight Li Yao took only took 3 hours to arrive.

“Dark Wing - Gainart.”

On the plane, Li Yao closed his eyes and muttered in his heart.
