Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Advance into the Anomalous Spatial Rift!
During these ten days, Lin Ye stayed in the ’Ruined Town’, continuously using the Healing Technique to enhance his attributes.
Of course, Lin Ye wasn’t made of iron.
Even if he could enter the Ruined Town indefinitely to brush up his attributes, he still had to consider his physical and mental state.
During these ten days, he spent almost two-thirds of the time doing other things.
Moreover, repeatedly using the same monster to increase attributes also encountered diminishing returns, just like with Professionals.
Though theoretically, Lin Ye could continually use the Ruined Town to raise his attributes if he was willing to invest the time.
But as the investment in time versus the returns continued, it became less and less worthwhile.
So in the last few days, Lin Ye treated it as a pastime, just playing around.
And now, the moment Lin Ye had been waiting for finally began!
"What level is the uprising?" Lin Ye asked knowingly.
"I heard it might be a Level 10 Secret Realm uprising! The City Defense Army is now helpless, only able to stand outside the Teleportation Gate and clear out monsters," Li Fei quickly replied.
Lin Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Being part of the City Defense Army meant the members were definitely Level 10 Professionals and above.
So even if they wanted to enter the Level 10 Alternate Space to quell the uprising, they couldn’t get in!
Lin Ye understood in his heart that it wouldn’t be long before the City Lord’s Mansion issued an order for Level 5 to Level 10 Novice Professionals to quell the uprising.
Even though these individuals were not soldiers, if you accepted the subsidies provided by the Professional Alliance, then when needed, you must stand up.
Otherwise, all the benefits within the entire Professional Alliance system would be unrelated to you in the future.
Secret Realms below Level 10 have always been relatively stable, rarely experiencing uprisings.
The few instances of uprisings in Alternate Spaces below Level 10 in history were all resolved by Novices of that era.
So the City Lord’s Mansion rallying Novice Professionals to mitigate this Alternative Space uprising has its basis.
"Just take it as a few days off." Lin Ye said.
If Professionals can’t enter the Professional Plaza, it means they can’t enter the Secret Realm for power leveling.
Li Fei had already reached Level 11 during these ten days, just exceeding the entry limit of the Alternate Space.
So she indeed could only take a rest.
"Your level is a bit dangerous... I’m afraid they’ll send you to quell the uprising..." Li Fei said worriedly.
If Lin Ye had been power leveling these ten days, he probably wouldn’t be facing this situation.
"Relax, it’ll be fine."
Lin Ye just smiled slightly, this was exactly what he was waiting for!
...
That evening, the City Lord’s Mansion finally issued an announcement, calling all Professionals between Level 5 and Level 10 in the city to go to the Professional Plaza to quell the uprising!
For a moment, the entire Shan City was in an uproar.
To this day, the Anomalous Spatial Rifts not yet cleared by Professionals are the ones left by history, extremely challenging.
Otherwise, they would have long been transformed into Acquired Secret Realms by previous Professionals, eliminating the possibility of an uprising.
Especially for inexperienced Novice Professionals, these Spatial Rifts are filled with immense danger.
Historically, every uprising in Alternate Spaces below Level 10 has almost always resulted in a mass death of Novices.
And the timing of this uprising in Shan City was particularly deadly...
Because it had been half a month since this year’s Novice Awakening Day.
During this time, the outstanding Novices had long exceeded Level 10.
The ones left were essentially those whose talents weren’t very impressive, and whose strength was quite average.
Expecting them to face these highly challenging Spatial Rifts would undoubtedly result in severe casualties.
At this moment, the Novice Professionals gathered at Professional Plaza were resolved to enter the Spatial Rift, knowing well that retreating would be tantamount to prematurely ending their professional career.
Moreover, if the uprising remains unresolved, it continues to escalate.
If they couldn’t handle it at a low Level, it would be even harder to resolve at a higher Level!
Many settlements have been destroyed by continuously escalating Spatial Rift uprisings.
So for their homes, knowing full well this trip could be deadly, they had no choice but to proceed.
Of course, if they return alive, their future would be bright!
"Team is short one, looking for a tank!"
"Level 10 Mage leading, need a physical output!"
"Level 10 team, need a Level 10 healer!"
"Is there anyone to take me... Level 6 Archer..."
In the plaza, Professionals participating in this operation were actively forming teams.
Among them, teams comprised of Level 10 Professionals were the most popular!
Because their strength was the best among this group, having a Level 10 Professional in a team significantly increased the survival probability.
As time passed, the City Defense Army finally pulled back its defenses.
A series of massive red Teleportation Gates stood at the center of the Professional Plaza!
The number easily exceeded thirty.
"Now is the intermission period of the uprising. If you’ve prepared, you can choose any Teleportation Gate to enter!"
The City Lord, clad in armor, stood among the City Defense Army, shouting loudly.
The Professionals at this time all rushed into the Anomalous Spatial Rift. These Teleportation Gates all led to the same Alternate Space but different locations inside it.
Lin Ye, wearing a hat, casually chose a Teleportation Gate and discreetly blended into the crowd.
In a particular spot, a team awaited entry into the Alternate Space.
This was none other than the team of Su Yaoyao and Liu Zhengjie!
Su Yaoyao glanced forward and noticed someone at the Teleportation Gate, a silhouette that seemed vaguely familiar to her.
That figure, as if sensing Su Yaoyao’s gaze, turned to look back.
Immediately, Su Yaoyao’s eyes widened in disbelief!
"Lin... Lin Ye!" she exclaimed.
Many around her turned to look in her direction.
Liu Zhengjie quickly pulled her aside, speaking tensely into her ear, "What are you shouting about? That guy has been dead for ages!"
Su Yaoyao pointed toward the Teleportation Gate, about to say something, but found Lin Ye’s figure missing at the entrance.
"I... I must’ve been seeing things..." Su Yaoyao said, somewhat dazed.
Outsiders wouldn’t know, but she and Liu Zhengjie did, right?
Ten days ago, Liu Zhengjie, under Su Yaoyao’s pressure, tried every means to contact Gao Lanlan, and the next day, Lin Ye disappeared without a trace...
Though they couldn’t be certain if Gao Lanlan had secretly returned to Shan City to kill Lin Ye.
But who else could it be if not her?
For Gao Lanlan couldn’t admit to them that she had done it...
So Su Yaoyao and Liu Zhengjie planned to keep this matter buried forever in their hearts.
"Let’s go! This uprising is a crisis for others, but for us, a great opportunity!" Unlike others, Liu Zhengjie was excited.
As Level 10 Professionals, he and Su Yaoyao had absolute confidence in coming out of the Anomalous Spatial Rift alive.
Hearing this, Su Yaoyao calmed down.
Indeed, she had reached Level 10, with limitless potential in the future.
If she performed excellently in this uprising, it would even give her bonus points for the college entrance exam!
Getting into a good Professional University meant her accomplishments wouldn’t be low.
As for Lin Ye, his life had frozen forever at Level 9 ten days ago!
Dead!
...
"Forget it; getting the job done is more important..."
Lin Ye finally decided that finding what he desired was paramount.
As for Su Yaoyao...
If she’s unfortunate enough to encounter Lin Ye within the Alternate Space, then Lin Ye wouldn’t mind sending her to join Gao Wei.
