194: Chapter 194 You have to go during the day
"Is this our home?"
Xiao Xue curiously looked over the small courtyard. The courtyard was in a very remote location, similar to the Orphanage, right up against the protective barrier. Through the transparent protective barrier, she could see sparse trees outside.
"Yes. Back then, as soon as I saved up 50 Gold Coins, I bought this courtyard immediately. When I went to pick you up, Aunt Xiao wouldn't allow it, so I just lived here by myself."
"Later, as my level increased and I had more money to buy a bigger house, I noticed that the protective barrier of Sword Immortal City had a hole in it. I thought I'd wait until after you awakened to discuss whether we should move to another city."
"This place is quite nice."
Yun Ge was cooking, while Xiao Xue was touching and looking at everything in the courtyard. Both of them had grown up in the Orphanage and had very little personal space. Although this small courtyard only had two rooms, it was enough.
After all, both of them had to go out to kill monsters during the day, so having a place to rest at night was enough.
"Brother Yun Ge, let's just live here. I think it's quite good."
Xiao Xue walked around the courtyard and felt very satisfied. Although the small courtyard wasn't big, it was cozy enough, and the two rooms were perfect for one person each.
"Are you sure?"
Yun Ge shook his head. Originally, after the Awakened Alliance conquered 30 new cities, the overcrowding in other cities had improved. However, due to the recent incident, the appearance of the Abyssal Demon God destroyed Yunxiao City, and the people from the remaining 29 cities had fled back.
Nowadays, housing prices in Sword Immortal City had risen even more drastically, and some people were already sleeping on the streets at night.
In the current situation, even if Sword Immortal City had a hole in it, moving to another city would likely be quite difficult. The current human cities could no longer accommodate the existing population, but if they wanted to expand, they had to face the threat of the Abyssal Demon God.
Since Xiao Xue liked it here, they wouldn't change houses for the time being.
Dinner wasn't very lavish, but it was enough to satisfy Xiao Xue. The two chatted while eating. Today was the day of Xiao Xue's awakening, which was also Xiao Xue's birthday. Starting from today, Xiao Xue would officially begin to strive for the rise of humanity.
"Xiao Xue, I feel the timing isn't great. Later, when there's an opportunity, I'll introduce a few friends to you."
"Mm."
"Rest early. We'll continue leveling up tomorrow."
"Mm."
...
The next day.
Yun Ge and Xiao Xue arrived at the Teleportation Array plaza. Just as they intended to teleport out of the city to kill monsters, they ran into A-Tang again.
"Boss A-Tang, have you… not rested all night?"
"If that Prophet just awakened, it's impossible for them to be killing monsters at night. You have to look during the day."
"I know. I've asked Awakeneds in the low-level monster zones, and no one saw the Prophet class outside Sword Immortal City yesterday."
"I'm going to look in other cities."
"It's quite hard to find."
Yun Ge didn't take it to heart. He didn't know what this Prophet was useful for, to make these big shots so anxious. It looked like they had been searching all night. Could the Prophet class be extremely important to humanity?
A-Tang hurriedly said goodbye and left, teleporting to the next city. Yun Ge and Xiao Xue proceeded to teleport to the forest where they had been leveling up yesterday.
"Brother Yun Ge, that person just now had such a high level! Brother Yun Ge is so amazing to know such a powerful person."
A-Tang was wearing a full set of Dark Gold Equipment and holding a dragon-slaying sword; he looked extremely impressive. Xiao Xue had learned about various types of equipment yesterday, and seeing A-Tang being so familiar with Yun Ge made her feel very happy.
"Yes, they are very powerful. They've killed many Abyssal BOSSes, and the human cities were built by them."
"Then will Brother Yun Ge be as powerful as them in the future?"
"Mm... I suppose so."
Yun Ge didn't say much. Humans didn't have a status panel before awakening, nor could they receive system announcements. Xiao Xue didn't know what had happened to Yun Ge over the past two years; she just wished from the bottom of her heart for Yun Ge to become even more powerful.
"Who exactly could the Prophet be?"
The two walked into the forest and began to kill monsters. As usual, Xiao Xue cast various Prophecies on Yun Ge. While Yun Ge was killing monsters, he was also wondering, who exactly was the Prophet?
Seeing how anxious A-Tang was, it seemed to be a newcomer who had just awakened. Ye Fan and the others must have to protect this Prophet. After all, no matter how good the talent, a newcomer was still a newcomer. Facing powerful Betrayers and Abyssal monsters, the possibility of falling was very high.
Xiao Xue followed behind Yun Ge, picking up items. If there was equipment, she picked up equipment; if there wasn't, she picked up bottles and Silver Coins. In any case, she wasn't idle, but she was also thinking about what A-Tang had said earlier.
"Prophet?"
"Are they talking about me?"
"But I'm an Astrologer."
"But my skills are Prophecy. That's strange..."
Thinking of this, Xiao Xue silently recited in her heart:
"God says, Brother Yun Ge and I are very safe today and will not encounter any danger."
...
"That's strange. How come we haven't encountered a single Elite monster today?"
The two fought monsters from morning until dusk. He didn't know how many small monsters had died under Yun Ge's skills. Yun Ge's experience bar was almost full, and Xiao Xue had already leveled up to 16. But the strange thing today was that they hadn't encountered a single Elite monster!
There was a ratio between Elite monsters and small monsters. After killing enough small monsters, an Elite monster would appear. Today was very strange; up until now, they were all normal monsters.
"I originally wanted to get a few pieces of Silver Equipment to sell for some Gold Coins. It's like seeing a ghost today."
Yun Ge didn't know what was going on either, but Gold Coins were secondary to them. What Yun Ge wanted was experience, and the same went for Xiao Xue. As long as there were small monsters, that was fine; if there were no Elite monsters, so be it.
They farmed until nightfall. Yun Ge didn't plan on farming overnight. Just as he was preparing to take Xiao Xue to eat, a strange damage number suddenly appeared among the damage dealt to the group of monsters!
"-4024!"
"-4024!"
"-4024!"
"-1076!"
"-4024!"
Not right!
"Frozen Thousand Miles!"
Yun Ge quickly switched weapons and immediately froze all the small monsters nearby. Soon, a black figure rushed over!
It couldn't be frozen!
A Betrayer!
And it was a high-level Betrayer!
The ones who held a grudge against Yun Ge were those Awakeneds from the Liu Family. Could it be that the Liu Family had endured for so long and finally made a move again?
However, Yun Ge was no longer what he used to be. The powerful Awakeneds from the Liu Family had long since died off for the most part. If it was just a few level 80 Awakeneds coming, Yun Ge was not afraid at all!
"Xiao Xue, return to the city!"
Although he wasn't afraid, Xiao Xue was by his side. Xiao Xue was only level 16; no matter how much HP she had, she couldn't withstand a high-level Betrayer!
However, Xiao Xue did not return to the city. She followed behind Yun Ge and silently recited an incantation in her heart:
"God says, the Betrayer's movement speed is reduced by half, HP reduced by half, defense reduced by half, attack reduced by half, mana reduced by half, luck reduced by half, HP recovery speed reduced by half, and hit rate reduced by half."
"God says, the Betrayer's skill casting time is doubled, skill mana consumption is doubled, damage taken is doubled, and the chance of being hit by control skills is doubled..."
Then, Yun Ge suddenly discovered that the Betrayer, who had been as fast as a galloping horse just a moment ago, instantly became like a turtle, slowly performing strange actions on the ground as if trying to make them laugh!
