Chapter 64: No, you really gave a send‑off technique

Since he has already done the first wave of promotion to his group friends, Ji Ming weighed the pros and cons and found that it is indeed necessary to speed up the start of the closed beta.

In his original plan, the closed beta could not begin until at least the thirtieth day after his transmigration.

He would first consume the wave of experience and attribute points that suppress AdaiEr's curse, and unlock all the connections inside and outside Sunshine City.

Once fully developed, he would then consider the server opening.

But now.

He now has a level‑91 Dragon‑God Mage in his left hand and a level‑93 Celestial‑God Iron Guard in his right.

With both thighs rock‑hard, as a leader he only needs to point the way, right? It seems he doesn't have to put too much pressure on himself.

He might as well open the server early and generate results sooner.

Otherwise, when taking the little boss's money, he always feels a guilty sense of cheating on his salary.

Yangyue: "Haha, when you're ordering this and that at light speed, you don't seem to say it like that…"

So after work ended the next day, Ji Ming entered the dungeon early.

He had already visited the armory and the training ground; this time he headed in another direction.

One can only say the area lives up to its level‑2 difficulty; the wild monsters are indeed much stronger.

If the armory's goblins were a swarm of headless flies, the training ground's goblins were a ragtag band of wandering soldiers that couldn't form a climate.

Then the goblins in the garrison camp are virtually a normal large tribe.

As foot‑soldier common goblins, as elite warrior goblins, as officer‑ranked brave goblins, as chieftain goblins…

Although they were long ago stripped of their minds by demonic qi and turned feral, they still form a hierarchy under instinct.

Depending on their strength, they guard various outposts, forts, and even the central castle.

Moreover, compared with the previous two places, the goblins here are overall far stronger.

Although the foot‑soldiers are still not a match for Ji Ming, they must not be allowed to run wild as before.

He passed through collapsed buildings and over decayed iron doors.

Ji Ming, carrying an iron shovel, inched toward a relatively bright red spot on the map.

After smashing a few roaming feral goblins on the outskirts, standing dumbly in the courtyard was a feral goblin warrior of full five levels.

Compared with the foot‑soldiers, it looks taller and bulkier.

Though the proportions are still distorted, its overall shape is close to that of a human teenager.

In its hand it no longer wields a crude wooden club, but a rod‑shaped iron weapon of unknown origin.

Unfortunately, its intelligence, along with its pitifully low charisma, are both zero, leaving only a small portion to boost its health and agility.

From the high ground, Ji Ming considered his battle plan and decided to rely on his speed to use bo.

First, he used the skill "Fart Technique"; although the feral goblin won't feel embarrassed, the stomach pain will distract it.

Then he performed a "Precise Throw", swinging his arm and hurling a brick that landed perfectly on the goblin's forehead.

Though such a ranged throw cannot trigger the full "Knocking Stick", it can still cause the goblin warrior to stagger briefly.

That brief moment was enough for Ji Ming to close in and finish the kill with his iron shovel.

The goblin warrior didn't even know what happened, only feeling as if half of its skull had been shaved off.

Hunting a strong foe, the reward this time was finally not just "experience plus three"; the powerful goblin warrior gave Ji Ming a full…

【Congratulations on the kill, Experience +5】

……

Ah, he really worked hard!

Ji Ming continued to explore while clearing monsters.

After slaying another goblin warrior, he casually opened the map and saw that the distance to the brightest red dot in the area was now very short.

He climbed a nearby platform and looked out.

In the dim underground, although several sharp rooftops were about to collapse, Ji Ming could see that the Goblin Chieftain occupied the most luxurious castle here.

Back to ten thousand years ago, it was under the foundation of some duke, a great noble with illustrious battle deeds.

Unfortunately, after countless years, it has become a living coffin for a half‑blood mad king.

Ji Ming felt that he was now like a hero who has passed five checkpoints and six generals, finally standing before the final boss.

As long as he charges into the darkness before him, this adventure will end.

However…

His clenched fist slowly relaxed again.

Horizontal or vertical, the goblin mad king is there.

Whether now or in the past, grinding is the same.

Rather than rushing in recklessly now, it's better to play it safe and wait until he can be almost certain before provoking them.

So Ji Ming decisively chose to retreat from the battlefield.

But fleeing didn't mean leaving; he began circling the abandoned castle, clearing all nearby goblin warriors as if pulling out nails.

Moreover, he was single‑minded, dealing only with goblin warriors; even a slightly larger group of goblin braves would not be visited.

Focused and stealthy, Ji Ming specifically assassinated those elite monsters only marginally stronger than the foot‑soldiers.

He could only say he was lucky these were feral goblins tainted by demonic qi.

If they were normal goblins, the chieftain would have turned green‑faced with rage and personally led a campaign to crush this damned scoundrel.

Finally, after another goblin warrior fell with a thud, the system popped up a window.

【Lv. 5→Lv. 6】

【Congratulations on leveling up, reward has been credited】

Finally, I'm finally higher level than the goblin warrior…

Ji Ming first tapped his Qi and blood, then without a word directly started the Roll.

【Please wait】

【Congratulations, you have obtained the life skill: Farewell Technique】

……

No, does this skill really exist?

Feeling this almost overflowing malice, Ji Ming opened the skill description.

【Farewell Technique: You have already mastered the skill of soothing the divine and calming the soul】

【Confucius says, great warrior, Boundless Celestial Venerable, you used your own life to defeat the disease, Amitabha, I will certainly send you off with joy, Amen】

Ignoring this overly flawed introduction, Ji Ming studied the specific usage of the skill and discovered it was somewhat similar to 【Calming Spirit Talisman】.

However, 【Calming Spirit Talisman】 is essentially an attack, and must be placed close to the target to generate its effect.

By contrast, 【Farewell Technique】 is a ranged skill with AOE effect, and its handling is somewhat gentler.

Unfortunately, Ji Ming doesn't have one, nor does he know any musical instrument,

He could only hurry back to reality and, in a frantic rush, copied down some various schools' transcendence sutras.

He bound a frenzied goblin with hemp rope, and it sat down cross‑legged with a relaxed air.

"At that moment, the Compassionate Celestial Venerable, pervading all ten directions, constantly with mighty divine power, rescues all sentient beings…"

He clacked—clack—at the skull, while chattering—chirp—reciting the sutras.

He originally thought that once he finished chanting the transcendence incantation, the goblin's mind would become clear again.

Yet when Ji Ming finished a segment, the goblin opened its eyes full of compassion.

Yes, the ferocity in the goblin's eyes has vanished.

But its vigor also vanished together.

His head tilted, and he died.
