Chapter 99

Luo Chenyu was just about to leave when he saw An Chen say, "Tonight, Old Xu... well, the top leader of Mount Huilong City, wants to invite you to dinner. Do you have time?"

"No, I'm not going home tonight!"

He refused decisively.

This kind of meaningless socializing was the thing he hated most; he'd rather stay at home and play games.

An Chen smiled and said, "Then go ahead. Tomorrow morning at 7:30, gather at the city gate."

"Gather?"

Luo Chenyu caught the keyword and asked, "Who else is going to East Sea together?"

"Guess!"

"Guess if I'm going to guess?"

Actually, whether he guessed or not didn't matter.

The most important thing now was to go "take revenge"!

An eye for an eye—this was Luo Chenyu's life motto.

After leaving the school, Luo Chenyu drove directly toward the high walls.

He sped along the road, his speed extremely fast.

The cool off-road vehicle attracted many gazes.

Besides marveling at the rich kid, there was more envy; such a luxurious off-road vehicle could only be owned by those high-tier professionals.

Soon.

Luo Chenyu arrived at the parking lot at the foot of Yangshan.

However...

The situation before him made him frown.

The parking lot was filled with all kinds of vehicles, and pedestrians were coming and going in an endless stream.

Under the scorching sun, there were even professionals acting as small vendors setting up stalls in the parking lot.

Luo Chenyu didn't think much, put on his hat and sunglasses, and got out of the car.

Various discussions reached his ears.

"Forming a team to grind level 50 Night Owls. I'm a third-turn defensive warrior, skills complete, HP 200,000+, looking for a Mage!!"

"Level 40 speed-grinding team, led by a 4000+ spirit Mage. Looking for a boss, only one spot left!"

"Material team forming, looking for people who know how to skin and gather..."

"Look quickly, those are people from the Adventurer Guild. I didn't expect them to dare to come out. Don't they know they're almost on the blacklist?"

"The Adventurer Guild really crashed this time. The Wang family colluded with the Ground Rats, almost sending their headquarters' Guild Master to the hospital. It's said they're still undergoing investigation in the Imperial Capital."

"It's also fortunate that Luo God was there to expose the Wang family's conspiracy. I heard Luo God killed them in seconds with a single wolf-tooth club. Too fierce!"

"Nonsense, it was clearly with his fist; he blasted them to death with one punch."

"Did you see that crater in the middle of the parking lot? I heard it was made by Luo God!"

"So mighty, hiss, Luo God is truly a role model for us all. Only eighteen and his capital is already so thick!"

"Not only that, Jianfeng was also smashed by Luo God with one club, and even the Owl Beast King was killed in seconds."

"Stop the awkward blowing; although Luo God is awesome, he's still a normal person!"

"Wow, there's an honest person here, everyone come and bully him!"

"..."

Luo Chenyu was speechless upon hearing these words.

Truly, public opinion is to be feared.

He was so awesome, even he didn't know it himself.

He shook his head and walked toward the mountain path.

……………………

Perhaps because Yangshan was completely unsealed, there were many professionals here today.

Luo Chenyu even encountered a few familiar figures on the road—the team that had been grinding monsters in Yangshan before. Except for Zhou Xiaoying, the others were all diligently forming teams to grind monsters.

Such a fiery scene was perhaps what the true world of professionals should look like.

Revisiting an old place.

Luo Chenyu didn't have much sentiment; now his heart was set on only one thing.

Revenge!

After entering the mountain path, the road was difficult to traverse, so Luo Chenyu didn't hesitate to activate [Treading the Void], strolling leisurely as he flew through the air.

In an instant, his speed increased by another level.

Professionals who were diligently fighting monsters were shocked to see the figure flying in the sky.

"Holy crap, someone actually dares to fly in Yangshan? Are they looking for death?"

"That shouldn't be; those who can fly are all big-shot level figures. They wouldn't be unaware of the unspoken rules of Yangshan. Could it be... a seventh-tier powerhouse??!"

"There are only a few seventh-tier powerhouses in Mount Huilong City, and they must be busy as hell right now. How could they come to Yangshan!"

"Could it be a high-tier professional from outside?"

"It's not impossible, but the probability is very low. It's very likely they just got flight ability and wanted to try it out in their excitement..."

"That explanation is even more outrageous. Who doesn't know that flying around in Yangshan will invite the siege of Owl Beast groups, or even attract the Owl Beast King? Is he tired of living or is there a hole in his brain?"

"To be honest, I want to follow and see..."

"Hmm? Are you thinking of picking up scraps? Yes, you must be thinking that!"

"Old iron, that's too much; don't say it out loud even if you see through it!!"

………………

In the sky.

Luo Chenyu was multitasking, opening his spatial backpack to take out the package Yu Zhilin had given him.

He hadn't checked it while driving earlier; perhaps it was a "sequela" from his past life, as he was always very focused when driving.

Only now did he remember.

The package was simple, and Luo Chenyu opened it easily, the items inside coming into view.

It was actually... a strange "eight-zero-zero" gem!

With a thought.

The virtual item panel floated before his eyes.

[Treasure Fusion Crystal (Refined)]

Quality: A-grade

Type: Special Treasure

Effect: Can fuse A-grade and below treasures. The main treasure will definitely gain one additional characteristic from the secondary treasure (optional).

Refined: 50% chance to increase the quality of the main treasure.

Note: The secondary treasure disappears after fusion; each treasure can only be used once!

………………

Luo Chenyu narrowed his eyes; this kind of thing was very valuable!!

Being able to fuse two treasures into one, and even having a 50% chance to increase the quality of the main treasure.

In his view, this was much more valuable than a skill book for a Tyrant Blade.

Mainly because...

He could use it!

For the treasure [Steel Armor], even if an SSS-grade treasure came along, he wouldn't plan to replace it.

Being able to have an extra [Steel Shield], such an effect was too helpful to him; perhaps this was a treasure he would carry for a lifetime.

He didn't think much.

He took out the [Steel Armor] and [Thorns] treasures and fused them directly.

"Ding, do you want to select [Steel Armor] as the main treasure for fusion? After fusion, the treasure [Thorns] will disappear!"

"Confirm!"
