Chapter 39

【Ding! You obtained 9999 Gold Coins!】

【Ding! You obtained Material: Rock Giant Bear Fur x10!】

【Ding! You obtained Material: Rock Giant Bear Claw x2!】

【Ding! You obtained Equipment: Rock Staff x1!】

【Ding! You obtained Equipment: Heart of Rock x1...】

Wild bosses drop so much; materials and equipment, over a dozen notifications at once.

Su Liang turned his gaze to his backpack.

Inside lay a necklace inlaid with rock.

【Heart of Rock】 (Dark Gold)

【Level】：35

【Attributes】：Strength +233, Constitution +260, HP +10%

【Skills】：Earth Recovery

【Requirement】：Constitution 400 points or higher

『Earth Recovery』：Standing on the earth, absorbing earth energy, immediately restores 50% HP and increases defense by 50%, then restores 5% HP per second for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute.

……

These stats aren't too strong.

But the skill is quite good, healing and adding defense.

"Wild boss drops are the best!"

Su Liang chuckled.

He equipped it.

The last piece of jewelry, complete!

If he needs to replace it later, he can use "Sleight of Hand" to make its skill permanent.

……

"I'm off, goodbye."

Su Liang turned around stylishly, waved his hand, and jumped onto the back of the Crystal Amethyst Thunder Dragon.

"Oh, okay, okay... goodbye..."

Lin Lin Youwei hadn't reacted to Su Liang saying goodbye to her, and she spoke in a flustered, helpless manner.

"Am I that scary?"

On the dragon's back, Su Liang rubbed his nose, feeling speechless.

The girl seems to be socially anxious; she was nervous the whole time, and her voice was trembling when she spoke.

It's hard to imagine.

Such a delicate, shy, stuttering, socially anxious girl actually awakened a class like Necromancer that deals with the undead.

……

After returning to the city.

Su Liang put away the Crystal Amethyst Thunder Dragon and took a taxi straight to the Assassin Guild to accept his third-advancement quest.

After stepping into the Assassin Guild, a group of people stared straight at Su Liang.

He changed his equipment again.

It looks even more imposing than before.

"Mr. Su Liang, you're here..."

Chen Chen Yue's eyes sparkled with stars as she walked over with her long, snow-white legs, approaching him enthusiastically.

Su Liang didn't waste words; he glanced at her and interrupted, "I want to accept the third-advancement quest."

"Ah?" Chen Chen Yue was startled, letting out a small gasp.

She was shocked once again.

How long has it been since Su Liang completed his second-advancement quest?

He's already reached level 40? This man is just too fast?!

"Please, this way!"

Chen Chen Yue took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.

But the slight rise and fall of her chest proved that she was far from calm.

……

【Ding! Detected professional level Lv40, meeting the requirements for third advancement. Please select the star rating for the advancement quest!】

After Su Liang touched the statue, the familiar prompt appeared.

Five stars!

Su Liang didn't hesitate.

【Ding! Professional has successfully accepted the third-advancement quest.】

【Third-Advancement Quest：Twilight of the Gods — Duel with the Slayer】

【Quest Difficulty：Five Stars】

【Quest Introduction：The 'Ancient Arena' has been buried by heavy snow, where the last remaining slayer, the 'Shadow Mantis,' sleeps. Having evolved through slaughter, it possesses unparalleled technique. Please kill it!】

【Time Limit：7 days】

【Hint：The advancement quest is a solo quest and cannot be performed in a party.】

……

7 days...

Checking the coordinates, it's actually deep in the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains!

The quest location is a bit far from Jiangcheng.

Su Liang frowned and thought for a moment.

The college entrance exam is in 6 days.

However...

Based on the Crystal Amethyst Thunder Dragon's flight speed and his speed at killing bosses, he should be able to make it back in time.

……

Federal Chamber of Commerce.

The trip to the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains takes a long time, so Su Liang came to buy some supplies.

"Su Liang."

Just as he entered, a pleasant girl's voice reached his ears.

Looking up.

A familiar figure walked over.

The youthful and beautiful Qin Qin Xiaoyu, wearing a gorgeous gold-glowing heavy armor, with a high ponytail, a petite and pretty face, lively with a hint of heroism.

"Eh, aren't you an Assassin?" Qin Qin Xiaoyu gave a light "eh" and tilted her head.

Looking at Su Liang's gear, she was somewhat confused and curious.

"That... is a long story, we'll talk about it later." Su Liang smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, "By the way, what are you here to buy?"

"Of course, I'm here to buy things that can crush you during the college entrance exam!"

"Epic materials and a Dark Gold Boss pet egg!"

"Hee hee, scared, aren't you? This young lady said she would definitely keep you under her thumb!"

Qin Qin Xiaoyu pointed at the items being taken out from the Epic material counter in the distance, proudly lifting her snow-white chin, showing off with unbridled wealth.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a spendthrift woman!"

Su Liang couldn't help but click his tongue.

Qin Qin Xiaoyu is planning to use money to win against him!

It seems...

This girl has a deep obsession with keeping him under her thumb...

The forging costs for Epic materials and Epic equipment are not cheap.

Using them for transition at this stage...

Is too extravagant!

However,

Su-mouren seems to have forgotten that he just forged a legendary weapon for transition...

(Event duration: October 1st to October 7th)

"You're the spendthrift, and it's not your money I'm spending."

Qin Qin Xiaoyu glared at Su Liang with her beautiful eyes and pouted, "Besides, I'll earn this money back double and pay my dad back later!"

"Pfft..."

When Su Liang turned his head and saw the pile of materials and the pet egg Qin Qin Xiaoyu bought, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

It's not my money you're spending; not only that, but the money you spent went right into my pocket.

Yes!

The Epic materials Qin Qin Xiaoyu purchased were exactly the ones he had entrusted Wen Wen Mengqing to sell on his behalf.

And the Dark Gold Boss pet egg Qin Qin Xiaoyu mentioned is none other than...

The Hellhound pet egg!

However...

This Hellhound with the "Three Lives" talent has explosive output, which does indeed fit Qin Qin Xiaoyu, who is a Paladin.

"Little Brother Su Liang."

Suddenly, another charming and sweet voice rang out.

Wen Wen Mengqing was wearing a purple cheongsam that clung to her body, revealing her curves, and she walked over with a cat-like gait...

In the hall, everyone's eyes turned to her almost simultaneously.

"Sister Wen Mengqing."

Su Liang greeted her naturally.

Hearing this.

Qin Qin Xiaoyu secretly glanced at Wen Wen Mengqing, her mouth pouting unconsciously, muttering in her heart, "When did they meet? How do they seem so familiar?"

"Another batch of Epic materials sold, and the Hellhound pet egg was also sold. I'll transfer the money to your card in a moment." Wen Wen Mengqing came to Su Liang's side, smiling elegantly.

"I know!"
