The Dragon Palace proceeds in an orderly fashion under the management of Zhou Ningdong and the other two. Ye Yun has been spending most of his time in the game pod for the past few days, online for an average of over ten hours daily. The game pod is simply too comfortable, now serving as Ye Yun's recliner for his midday naps!
Ye Yun spends no less than ten hours a day grinding dungeons. He can't afford to relax when he sees Zhou Ningdong and the others. So, Ye Yun directly pulled the three of them into his four-person party, initiating a relentless dungeon-grinding spree. What takes others an hour to complete, Ye Yun finishes in less than twenty-one minutes!
Ye Yun's dungeon-grinding method has made Zhou Ningdong and the other two feel like they're riding a rocket.
They had barely entered a dungeon when Ye Yun unleashed a skill, and a thousand Level 15 green-tier soldier monsters vanished.
Then, they sat there waiting for the second wave, which would arrive in five minutes. Before they could even stand up, Ye Yun waved his hand, and another thousand Level 16 green-tier soldier monsters were gone.
The rate at which experience points were gained almost made the trio wet themselves in shock.
While they could also perform area-of-effect instant kills, their skills didn't have such a wide range.
Under Ye Yun's special care, the level rankings of the other three changed daily. Zhou Ningdong, in particular, who was originally ranked third, just managed to catch up to Mi Ya Luo, becoming second. And there were still 3 days left until the end of the first round of rankings!
"Damn it, I finally caught up to this guy named Mi Ya Luo. How is he leveling up so fast? We've even been using the time we'd normally spend going to the restroom!" These three were indeed dedicated to the game; after arranging their affairs, they plunged themselves into the game.
When Ye Yun was present, they grinded dungeons with him. When he wasn't, they grinded with their own party! Ye Yun also advanced to Level 19, while the three of them were all at Level 17, though their rankings differed significantly.
At the same Level 17, Zhou Ningdong was ranked 2nd, while Li Chenxu and Liu Hai were 5th and 7th respectively. The experience points between Zhou Ningdong and Liu Hai were only a difference of 200 million! This showed the intensity of the competition!
Chen Jiamiao and the other three were also quite capable. Under Ye Yun's massive gold coin offensive, the four of them reached Level 10 in just one day and then began grinding dungeons in Fengle Village day and night.
Originally, Ye Yun had thought they would find a support or tanking profession to fill their roles. He hadn't expected these guys to directly seek out Ding Yi, the one in the game pod next to him whose talent skill he had scorned.
Ye Yun had no idea what they were thinking.
With Ye Yun's intentional and unintentional help, their leveling speed was a few points faster than the veteran members of the Dragon Palace, and they were even about to catch up to the first tier group!
Seven SSS-ranks, still not quite enough. One US dollar could be exchanged for seven gold coins, and their US dollar advantage was too great.
At this moment, Ye Yun's mind was not on competing for the level rankings. For him, this list was already within his grasp. He was determined to take the top three spots, if nothing else.
"System prompt: You have used the skill 'Gold Touch' to upgrade your talent to max Level 2..." Dafeng Novel Network
That's right, the divine skill that comes once in a millennium could finally be used again. The moment its cooldown cleared, Ye Yun unleashed the processing power of his brain, which he had trained for over twenty years, and upgraded his talent!
"System prompt: Congratulations to player **** for upgrading talent to max Level 2! Reward: 20,000 attribute points. Due to the protection mechanism period, the server-wide announcement has been canceled."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player **** for being the first to upgrade talent to max Level 2! Reward: 100,000 attribute points. Due to the protection mechanism period, the server-wide announcement has been canceled."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for suppressing the Ninth Dimension Universe talent, rewarding player with attribute points: 200,000 points, Power Manifestation Card * 1, Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races in the Game event qualification card * 1, and the title 'Human King' has been strengthened! Due to the protection mechanism period, the server-wide announcement has been canceled."
Tsk, tsk, are the reward attribute points measured in tens of thousands now? This single attribute reward alone is equivalent to...
Ye Yun counted on his fingers?
32 billion!
If you add the attribute value of Human King, this is insane...
Human King—the title of the king of humanity! Possesses natural leadership! Holders of this title gain a permanent +3% attack, permanent +20% HP, and mana recovery speed of 10/sec. Skill: King's Embodiment.
Of course, the most unexpected and pleasant surprise was the 'Power Manifestation Card.' Ye Yun didn't know if he would receive such a reward every time his talent advanced. If so, that would be amazing.
This increase in strength, whether due to the game pod or not, besides a tingling sensation, there was no other feeling.
Ye Yun, without any hesitation, directly used the 'Power Manifestation Card.' Nothing is more important than real-world strength. This is the primary reason Ye Yun always thought of selling good equipment for money.
Looking at the 10% manifestation progress displayed on his attribute panel, Ye Yun felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Having been reborn into 'Heavenly Dao,' Ye Yun was already under immense pressure. Unexpectedly, in less than a week, he had surpassed his previous life. Currently, although he only had 10% manifestation, his strength was more than ten times that of his past self!
Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races in the Game event qualification card—grants qualification to participate in the Ten Thousand Races arena competition. The event has not yet opened.
"System prompt: Detected anomaly in player 'Divine City Revival' quest! Player must reach Level 20 within two days, otherwise, 'Heavenly Dao' will not be responsible for any unpredictable losses incurred by the player."
What the hell?
Ye Yun looked at the system prompt with a bewildered expression.
Quests could have anomalies? Could 'Heavenly Dao' be any more unreliable?
Despite his grumbling, Ye Yun took it very seriously.
This 'Divine City Revival' quest was the cornerstone of his in-game survival and his most important cash cow! Since the day before yesterday, his daily dividends from the village alone exceeded ten million. If he lost this income, what was the point of playing?
This time, Ye Yun didn't hesitate and directly released the 10 billion experience points from his experience treasure. Otherwise, just relying on grinding dungeons to level up, let alone reaching Level 20 in two days, even double the time would be difficult.
"Player level increased, gained 307,200 attribute points. Player's current level is 20."
10 billion experience points allowed Ye Yun's level to smoothly advance to 20, leaving him only 5% short of Level 21.
"Over 300,000 attribute points. Damn, leveling up once is equivalent to a 30 billion gold coin top-up. I wonder what players who have topped up tens of billions would think." The partiality of 'Heavenly Dao' was almost embarrassing even to Ye Yun.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for reaching Level 20, activating the follow-up quest for 'Divine City Revival.' Please complete the quest as soon as possible. Player should check quest details themselves!"
The system prompt made Ye Yun feel something different. Unlike before, 'Heavenly Dao' would never actively remind players like this.
