200: Chapter 200 The Traitor
Furthermore.
Qing Yu became increasingly comfortable around her family, and her behavior grew more and more like that of a normal person.
Lin Fan sometimes even wondered if she had forgotten her identity as a Demonic Beast from the God Realm.
Over the past few months, there was one more thing... Lin Fan received a System notification.
The notification indicated that he had successfully achieved first place in the All-Academy Nova Competition!
The System rewarded him with a batch of experience points and a new skill.
...
[supreme path system (glitch version)]
[Host: Lin Fan]
[Rank: 44]
[Experience required for next level: 307235 / 100 (glitch)]
[Tier: Tier 6 Saint Mage Peak]
[Elements: Space, Thunder]
[Special Abilities:]
[Dual-Element Constitution: The host can control two elements.]
[Mana Regeneration: Continuously restores mana for the host.]
[Void Walk...]
...
For the current Lin Fan.
This skill was not very useful, as he rarely lacked mana.
However, he was looking forward to the secret rewards given by other tasks when he first obtained the System.
Provided that those rewards actually existed.
Lin Fan stood on the top of a sand dune, immersed in the vast desert with yellow sand filling the sky.
To quickly farm experience, he had killed almost all the Demonic Beasts around Baiyun City, and the speed at which new Demonic Beasts reoccupied the territory was agonizingly slow.
Because of this, Lin Fan had to travel to extremely distant places to find more Demonic Beasts to hunt.
At this moment, he was millions of miles away from Baiyun City, having found this desert filled with countless sand worms.
Lin Fan had maxed out his experience for the day right here.
He had wiped out the entire sand worm population, leaving the desert empty.
It would surely be a long time before new Demonic Beasts migrated here.
He knew that next time he went out to farm experience, he would have to go even further.
"But it's not a big problem; I only need a few hundred thousand more experience points to create my first Sixth-Order Spell."
Lin Fan muttered to himself.
He was still wearing Mr. Chen's attire.
Although this set of clothing could no longer withstand forces capable of harming him.
Lin Fan had become accustomed to wearing it when going out.
Furthermore, the mask could still help him identify unknown things.
He took one last look at the vast desert, dyed gold by the setting sun.
Silver-white stars appeared around Lin Fan, rapidly condensing into a Star Map.
The next moment, he turned into a streak of silver light and vanished without a trace.
Instant Teleportation!
Void Walk!
Instant Teleportation!
Void Walk!
Even with Lin Fan rushing at top speed using Spells and skills.
It still took over an hour to return to Baiyun City from the desert.
This was enough to show just how far he had traveled to hunt Demonic Beasts.
At his current rate of hunting, he feared it might affect the economy of Baiyun City...
Adventurers would have no monsters to farm when they went out, and the tasks issued by the Alliance would also be greatly reduced.
"At least after a while, more Demonic Beasts will migrate here, so it should be fine."
Lin Fan thought to himself.
After arriving at Baiyun City, Lin Fan headed straight to the Alliance Building to sell the Demonic Beast corpses he had brought back.
His spatial storage space was already incredibly vast, sufficient to hold all the Demonic Beasts he had hunted while farming experience.
He even worried a little that the Alliance Building might one day go bankrupt from buying the massive amount of Demonic Beast corpses he delivered every day.
If they went bankrupt, who would buy his things?
Nowadays, relying on the sale of Demonic Beast corpses and magic cores, Lin Fan had accumulated over 30 billion yuan on his alliance card.
A small Alliance Branch like Baiyun City probably couldn't sustain paying him such huge sums of money continuously, right?
Perhaps he should save a portion and wait until he went to the royal capital, Yundu, to sell them there.
Entering the Alliance Building, Lin Fan sensed several familiar auras:
Fang Bin, Old Wang, and Zhao Chaoyang.
Jiang Tianhai and Vice Minister Wei Rujun were not present.
Lin Fan appeared directly in Fang Bin's office.
Fang Bin was startled by his sudden appearance and stood up abruptly.
Lin Fan noticed that after seeing him, his expression instantly shifted from normal to panic.
"Ah, Mr. Chen!"
"It's great that you're here! Branch Minister Jiang Tianhai and the others encountered trouble outside the city. They just contacted me and wanted to ask you to go help; the situation is extremely urgent!"
Fang Bin's tone was hurried, and the situation was clearly serious.
Lin Fan's brows furrowed beneath his mask.
He was certain that within a two-million-meter radius of Baiyun City, there were no Demonic Beasts that could threaten them, even for a Tier 3 Mage.
Those Demonic Beasts had long been wiped out by him, leaving only some common grade Demonic Beasts he couldn't be bothered with.
What did Fang Bin mean by this?
Jiang Tianhai was a Tier 4 Mage, and so was Vice Minister Wei Rujun.
How could they possibly be in danger?
Or, perhaps they hadn't encountered Demonic Beasts, but other mages?
"Where are they?"
Lin Fan asked, intending to verify if what Fang Bin said was true before going to check.
But Fang Bin did not tell him the location of Jiang Tianhai and the others; instead, he said he would take him there personally, as that would be faster.
Lin Fan: "..."
What kind of vehicle could be faster than the movement speed of a Saint Mage?
Even without using Instant Teleportation and Void Walk, it was impossible.
He immediately sensed that something was wrong with this matter.
Therefore, he did not refute him and agreed to let Fang Bin lead the way.
Fang Bin immediately rushed out of the office, with Lin Fan following closely behind.
The two took the elevator, quickly arrived at the reception hall, and then walked outside.
Many people in the hall saw Mr. Chen and wanted to come forward to talk.
After all, Mr. Chen rarely appeared in the reception hall, and many people hadn't seen him for months.
But Fang Bin directly dispersed the crowd, claiming they had urgent business to attend to.
Lin Fan hadn't intended to socialize anyway, so he let him be.
Arriving outside, the two got into Fang Bin's car... a red sports car with quite considerable speed.
The engine roared as Fang Bin drove onto the road, speeding off into the distance.
Not long after, they had driven out of Baiyun City, heading north all the way.
Fang Bin's expression was serious, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, his gaze fixed on the road.
Lin Fan sat quietly to the side, observing silently.
After driving for nearly two hours.
He saw Fang Bin take out his phone with one hand.
Typing while driving, the other hand still gripping the steering wheel, the car's speed didn't decrease at all.
Fang Bin deliberately bent his wrist at an angle.
To prevent Lin Fan from seeing the content he was typing; the movement wasn't very obvious.
But Lin Fan still noticed it, though he didn't make a scene.
Another twenty-something minutes passed.
The car drove off the main road, onto a dirt road, traveling between giant rocks and forests.
Lin Fan pushed his perception to the maximum and immediately sensed an abnormality.
Several human auras, all mages, among which a few were strange yet familiar.
It felt as if he had sensed similar auras before, yet he couldn't recall exactly what they were.
They were neither mages, nor humans, and certainly not Demonic Beasts.
Thinking of this.
Lin Fan instantly recalled the source of the familiarity.
It was the Dark Beast Puppet of the Dark Alliance!
With this thought in mind, he turned his head to look at Fang Bin.
"So that's how it is."
Lin Fan thought to himself, but remained calm and composed, letting Fang Bin continue driving.
