Level 15 Yang Jian's explosive properties

It was 4:10 PM in game time.

Yang Jian was enveloped in a flash of golden light, officially leveling up to Level 15.

He equipped a full set of new Level 15 purple gear; everything that could be replaced was, except for the skyfire hawk bow (Purple).

Of course, his necklace and ring were absolutely irreplaceable!

Looking at his attributes again, they were even more impressive.

Huh? Why is my attack so high?

Oh, it turns out my attributes are also stronger!

Haha, not only is the extra attack power super high, but the additional attributes are also extremely exaggerated.

A normal Level 15 hunter at this point would only have seventy or eighty Strength and just over a hundred Agility!

And that's assuming they're fully equipped with purple gear!

Speaking of which, how many people at this stage could be fully equipped with purple gear?

Yang Jian could only get so many purple items to devour by relying on Zhou Yue!

Suddenly, the warning bells of the Starry Sky Hood faded in his mind.

Yang Jian just wanted to shout: Is there anyone else?

Even now, Yang Jian, fighting Level 26 monsters while being suppressed by the rules, could still deal over 2000 damage with a normal attack.

With skill damage, it would be even more incredible.

It's just that, calculating the cost-benefit, it felt a bit unnecessary!

Mo Song clearly also felt the benefits of grouping monsters and clearing maps.

In the short time following Yang Jian, he had once again returned to Level 12!

Thinking back to the last time he left his homeland, left his parents' embrace, a lone wolf venturing into the New World... how much hardship did he endure?

And now?

He casually reached Level 12, and the opportunity for him to advance to purple aptitude was almost within reach... Mo Song was very excited; his talent was not bad, blue talent, which was already quite good on the Tianyao Continent, which had been peaceful for thousands of years!

When their Howling Moon Wolf Clan entered salvation more than 20,000 years ago, heroes were everywhere!

But as time passed, those who didn't reach demigod status would eventually be refined by time... By Mo Song's father, Mo Xuan's generation, even his father only had purple talent!

Advancing in rank was actually very, very difficult!

Mo Song's advancement seemed easy, but that was actually a perk for first-generation players.

This was also why Mo Song was almost effortlessly captured by Yang Jian back then.

After all, for such a powerful person who could contract him across levels... Mo Song was somewhat half-willing, half-reluctant!

After Yang Jian reached Level 15, he logged off directly at the inn in Nightshade Town.

He would rest for three hours, then take advantage of the Blood Moon BUFF at night to push for another level.

As for the potential inconvenience to other players, Yang Jian couldn't care less!

As long as there's no official intervention, who am I afraid of? I'm not afraid of anything!

When he logged off, it was just past five in the morning outside.

This time was still a bit too early.

Yang Jian first went to the gym for a session of fasted cardio.

After his first alarm rang, he went to the office to punch in.

Then he planned to go to the cafeteria for a meal!

While eating this meal, which he wasn't sure whether to call breakfast or dinner, he ran into Zhou Yue.

Fortunately, Yang Jian had hired over a dozen chefs working in two shifts.

Theoretically, the restaurant was open twenty-four hours a day... Zhou Yue was clearly in a very good mood today.

She sat opposite Yang Jian, and her little mouth started chattering!

“My mom is really too stubborn. Last year I asked her to come and stay with me, but she said her vegetables in the field couldn't do without her, and her chickens, ducks, and geese at home couldn't do without her! Anyway, besides me, nothing can do without her! The Earth wouldn't even spin without her!”

Yang Jian smiled without a word.

How should he describe Zhou Yue's mother... Zhou Yue could complain about her, but if Yang Jian were to agree with her, Zhou Yue would immediately turn into a fierce critic and scold him severely.

He could only make that mistake once; making it a second time would make him a fool!

“Do you think she doesn't care about me?”

“No, think about it, how difficult it was for her to raise you by herself, and she raised you so well? You got into a key university...”

Yang Jian racked his brains, trying to recall all the good things Zhou Yue had said about her mother over the years... “That's true, she said she'd buy a ticket to Linhai in the next couple of days. Where do you think she should stay when she comes? Will she not adapt? What if she doesn't have people her age to play with? And, and...”

Yang Jian listened to her rambling.

It was like the timidity one feels when approaching home.

In recent years, Zhou Yue, busy with her career, hadn't returned much.

With just the two of them left in their small family, home was wherever they were... “You can arrange everything else, but as for where she stays, she absolutely must stay here!”

Zhou Yue understood Yang Jian's meaning immediately and agreed with his suggestion.

Yang Jian could feel it.

After realizing the importance of the game, Zhou Yue awakened the highest known talent in salvation.

Her confidence immediately soared.

She was no longer as timid as before!

She now exuded a strong aura of self-confidence.

“You keep eating, I'm going to level up!”

Zhou Yue finished her breakfast and left first.

Just as he finished eating and was about to get up, someone else sat down opposite him.

Yang Jian was a bit speechless; a wolf had just left, and now a tiger had arrived... What a tough life!

Fortunately, Bai Youyou was here for something important!

“Don't make that face! Luckily your little assistant isn't here, otherwise, wouldn't you be drawing attention to yourself?”

Bai Youyou's tone was a bit disdainful.

At this moment, Yang Jian was utterly convinced that he was a kind person.

As soon as he did something slightly against his conscience, his morality would start to condemn him... This symptom usually resolved itself after a few more sleeps!

“What do you need me for?”

“This afternoon... at three o'clock game time, Miss Mo arrived in Zhenhai City! What should we do?”

“What do you mean, what should we do?”

“What about her vice guild leader position?”

“Grant her the authority of a vice guild leader normally! With power comes motivation, right?”

“Alright, then I know what to do...”

“You know Mo Suqing's capabilities, and even if you don't, you've heard her legends... Now, everything revolves around guild upgrades, so assign this matter for her to handle...”

Bai Youyou's mouth twitched. Mo Song might not be human, but you are truly a scoundrel!

After discussing Mo Suqing's matter, Bai Youyou brought up recruitment again!

Today, Lingyun Studio would have its final batch of aspiring players.

Standing next to the small meeting room, Yang Jian couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

The last batch was recruiting thirty people; today, there were twenty men and ten women!

A quick glance with his Divine Eye showed that most of them were retired special forces!

Yang Jian hesitated for three or four seconds, then approved all of them directly!

Come on.

Star Palace grand stage, if you have a dream, come... These people were all retired anyway, so theoretically, they didn't have much connection to their former teams.

Moreover, a team built with these retired special forces as its foundation would have a great advantage in discipline and combat effectiveness in the future.

As of now, Lingyun Studio had a total of 220 helmets and had recruited 213 professional players!

Yang Jian planned to keep the remaining seven game helmets for emergencies.

In case he encountered someone with extraordinary talent in the future, he would still have the capital to entice them.

Out of these 213 people, about forty had minor issues.

Some were planted by official forces, and others by local forces in Linhai.

Yang Jian accepted everyone!

Once the Abyssal Monsters invaded, their superiors might all be wiped out!

Even if they weren't, by then, he believed they would know how to choose... As for those who were truly lacking in foresight... Heh heh!

So, Yang Jian recruited people not based on influence, but solely on strength!

When he first rented this four-story building, Yang Jian had planned for a team of a thousand people.

However, he was tricked by salvation.

He couldn't buy that many helmets; even the official Xia Kingdom only received two hundred thousand game helmets.

Yang Jian, under the name of a game studio, only managed to buy 220!

The other major guilds had roughly similar numbers.

This severely limited the development of game guilds.

Of course, they were also recruiting people in the game now.

But after all, it wasn't as reliable as having old comrades who had cultivatedtacit agreement for many years.

This was also the main reason why Star Palace, as the number one guild, was currently not widely recognized.

No heroes in troubled times, making a nobody famous... This was the true impression the major guilds had of Star Palace.

Yang Jian was too lazy to care about these guys' self-indulgence.

His current focus was on the Abyssal Monsters in the Dragon Tomb.

This was the closest he had ever been to upgrading his necklace.

Before nine o'clock, Yang Jian had taken care of his external affairs.

He logged in again.

He sorted out his backpack in town.

Today's harvest was truly astonishing.

It almost filled all 246 of Yang Jian's backpack slots.

Both Yang Jian and Mo Song had 20 original backpacks each, and were equipped with 4 16-slot backpacks.

So, each of them carried 84 backpacks, and Yang Jian also had 76 talent backpack slots!

Even with all that, it was almost full today... This showed how many monsters Yang Jian and Mo Song had farmed throughout the day!

The more monsters they farmed, the more drops they got, so Yang Jian had gathered quite a few of the materials he needed.

At the mailbox, Zhou Yue and Bai Youyou had both sent Yang Jian some items.

Zhou Yue mostly mailed the equipment she had acquired.

Bai Youyou, on the other hand, had carefully selected and mailed over many materials that Yang Jian needed.

So, the current upgrade status of the druid king ring was... malorne's oath of loyalty (Green)

Finger: Ring

All Attributes +5

Skill: Travel Form (Land, Water, Movement Speed increased by 80%)

Note: A demigod artifact made from the shed horn of the Wild God Malorne, once gifted to his second son, damaged after being lost.

Repair Requirements:

Condition 1: Collect Souls (1000 / 1000), required soul level not lower than host level.

Condition 2: Wild Steelbloom (Green) 20 / 20,Royal Blood Grass (Green) 20 / 20, Silverlight Fruit (Blue) 3 / 10, Blood Mother Stone (Blue) 5 / 10

Condition 3: Silver BOSS Soul 1 / 1

Bound, cannot be dropped, cannot be traded

Wild Steelbloom and Royal Blood Grass both needed to be gathered in the wild with Herbalism.

He didn't have them before because Yang Jian couldn't gather herbs.

But as the main player force reached Level 10 and arrived at the main city, players with dual gathering professions were everywhere!

Therefore, these two green materials were easily gathered.

Blood Mother Stone was an associated ore from mining.

It had a certain chance of appearing as an associated ore when mining for gold or tin ore.

With a Undead Mine dungeon in the guild, it wouldn't be a problem for long.

Although the Undead Mine no longer produced undead, it produced ore!

The only difficult one was the Silverlight Fruit... Yang Jian himself estimated it would be very hard to get his hands on this item.

These three were all acquired by Bai Youyou at a high price from the Auction House!

As for Mo Song... Advancement Requirements: soul sand (Green) 10 / 10, soul sand (Blue) 10 / 10, ghost grass (Blue) 0 / 10, Iridescent Pearl (Purple) 1 / 1

There was no sign of the ghost grass yet.

Although Mo Song was still eager to advance, there was nothing he could do about the missing materials.

So, he could only urge Yang Jian to work harder!

He was like a child hoping his father would become a dragon!
