Level 20!
【 Name: Moon (Under Passive Influence) 】
【 Description: There is no love without reason in this world. Players immersed in the Blood Moon DEBUFF, unable to extricate themselves, have not realized that Hematolger (Blood Moon Evil God) is using players to pinpoint Blue Star! This is an anomaly caused by Blue Star's Moon being passively eroded by the Blood Moon Evil God's power! 】
【 Note: All gifts of fate have already been marked with a price in secret! 】
【 Estimated targeting time: Unknown! 】
【 Note 1: Hematolger (Blood Moon Evil God) is intercepted by Elune (Moon God) in the world of salvation. With his attention divided to fight the Moon God, the interference process on Blue Star is greatly reduced. 】
【 Note 2: Fortune and misfortune are intertwined! Whether it is a blessing or a curse will only be known when the answer is revealed! 】
Three or four days passed, and Yang Jian had been diligently leveling up until today, when he felt relatively fatigued and decided to go out and look around.
He discovered that the description of the Moon had changed once again!
After a brief glance at the Moon, Yang Jian no longer paid it any attention.
He opened his phone, and Douyin was filled with accusations against Star Palace and Zhenhai City.
《Shocking: The Moon's color is gradually turning red, and experts from many countries have come forward to refute rumors, claiming it is a natural phenomenon!》
《Breaking News: Star Palace is systematically killing foreign players heading to Zhenhai City, drawing condemnation from players of many countries!》
《Accusation: Zhenhai City is not the Zhenhai City of any single guild, but the Zhenhai City of all East Asian countries...》
《Injustice: Great Xia occupies four main cities on the Eastern Continent, while over sixty other countries scramble for three cities!》
《Unveiling: The secret to Tianmu Zhenjun's incredibly fast leveling...》
Seeing the last Weibo push, Yang Jian was curious and clicked to read it!
He glanced at the blogger's ID: Zuo Zhi Yue!
That name sounded a bit familiar!
While he was wondering, the video began to play.
“Hello everyone, I’m your friend Xiao Zuo!”
“I believe everyone is very interested in the leveling method of the top-ranked hunter boss, Tianmu Zhenjun, who has been dominating the leaderboard for a long time. Today, Xiao Zuo will take everyone to uncover the secret!”
“Like first, then watch, make it a habit!”
“Without further ado, let’s begin now!”
Immediately after, the screen switched to a vast plain!
It was clear that Zuo Zhi Yue filmed this video from a very far distance.
He probably also feared that if he got too close, he would disappear!
Because of the distance, and Yang Jian's travel form being a relatively small cheetah.
The appearance and shape during the transformation were not captured very clearly!
However, how the two to three hundred monsters that gathered at the end died was filmed perfectly clear!
While watching the video, there were already several hundred comments below.
“I just want to say, is this game really... interesting?”
“Alas, our team is still dueling level 12 monsters, and he can already pull two or three hundred together and AoE them down!”
“He can actually bring two pets? One black wolf and one cheetah? By the way, where did he catch that cheetah? Why does it look a bit like a Druid player?”
“No wonder he reached level 20 in three days! If he plays like this, how can he not level up fast?”
“Is that the point? The point is his attack power is too high, isn't it?”
“Who do you think has stronger talent among Tianmu Zhenjun, King Arthur, Thunder God Envoy, and Sakura First Sword Saint?”
“Hard to say. Although Tianmu Zhenjun has a high level, he has never truly displayed his talent. But the other three all have golden talents... and they are all late-game talents, the kind that gets stronger the further you go!”
“Yes, maybe Tianmu Zhenjun's talent is similar to Templar Knight Borg's, becoming useless in the late game...”
“Are you even a Great Xia person? Why are you boosting others' morale and diminishing your own prestige?”
“Still chatting? The foreign internet is going crazy. Players from the Three Brothers' country are uniting with small Southeast Asian countries to militarily seize Zhenhai City!”
“Oh? I wasn't interested in this kind of thing originally, but if it's the Three Brothers' idea, then I have to pay attention... Tell me in detail, how are they going to seize it?”
“Uh... as soon as I saw the title, I rushed back to report the news...”
“Investigate further!”
“Yes!”
Stupid youths have a lot of fun!
Yang Jian closed the post.
By now, he also remembered who Zuo Zhi Yue was!
Back then, when he was first live-streamed in Hai Chao Village, it was this Zuo Zhi Yue who did it!
He was incredibly slippery... Now, this guy finally leveled up and actually came knocking again!
He didn't even know how long he had been looking for him!
He scrolled down two or three posts, and they were basically all news related to salvation.
As time passed, most of the players who had left the game had basically returned.
In the current situation, even a fool could sense that something was amiss!
The next post he scrolled to was the level leaderboard.
First place: Tianmu Zhenjun, Level 20, 1.3%, Class: Hunter, Guild: Star Palace (Guild Leader).
Second place: Thunder God Envoy, Level 13, 27%, Class: Thunder Mage.
Third place: King Arthur, Level 13, 26%, Class: Arcane Mage.
Fourth place: Thousand Years of White Clouds, Level 13, 18%, Class: Void Hunter, Guild: Star Palace (Vice Guild Leader).
Fifth place: Sakura First Sword Saint, Level 13, 18%, Class: Shadow Samurai.
Sixth place: Si Lian Jiang Chang, Level 12, 98%, Class: Warrior, Guild: Great Xia Federation.
Seventh place: Templar Knight Borg, Level 12, 92%, Class: Paladin.
Eighth place: Bi Luo Jing Feng Yu, Level 12, 84%, Class: Monster Catcher.
Ninth place: GOAT, Level 12, 81%, Class: Discipline Priest.
Tenth place: Bettina Sanchez, Level 12, 75%, Class: Hunter.
Their levels... are very close!
Yang Jian looked at Si Lian Jiang Chang in sixth place again... It could now be confirmed that this was an official Great Xia person!
Because the second guild token was sold to them by Yang Jian!
It wasn't sold for money; it was exchanged for a piece of land... To say it was exchanged for a piece of land isn't accurate, because this land originally belonged to Mo Suqing.
However, how land is used is subject to relevant regulations!
It's not like you can just use agricultural land for whatever you want!
You can't just build houses on land designated for farming; that's out of the question!
Now it's fine!
Not only was it allowed, but the officials also approved an additional large piece of land!
Of course, when they approved the land, they left a back door, reserving two hundred mu of land for themselves in a location deviating from the planning center... Everyone knew why, and Yang Jian just pretended not to know.
After all, with many things, if the officials endorse it, then it's much easier to handle!
At this moment, WeChat chimed. Yang Jian looked and saw the Star Palace Big BOSS group.
There were four people in the group: Yang Jian, plus Zhou Yue, Bai Youyou, and Mo Suqing.
Zhou Yue: @Yang Jian, didn't we agree to have a meeting at eight? You're not in the office either? Where did you run off to?
Yang Jian: Coming, I'm outside looking at the moon!
Mo Suqing: I've been in the video conference room for half a day, and none of you three have come in? Next time I'll make sure to be the last one to arrive!
Just as Yang Jian was about to type, his alarm rang.
Nothing is more important than cooldowns.
He logged in, waking up in the inn in Nightshade Town.
Yang Jian directly opened his backpack and swallowed a level 20 purple weapon!
Looking at his explosive stats now... 【Player: Tianmu Zhenjun】

【Skill: Deception】
Yang Jian did not use that orange experience orb for devouring!
On one hand, he didn't have any other orange equipment right now, so devouring just this one wouldn't have any effect.
On the other hand, with his leveling speed, if he got to max level too far ahead of others, this experience orb would still have other uses!
Yang Jian devoured the Orb of Deception!
After a two-minute delay, Yang Jian logged off.
In the office, Bai Youyou and Zhou Yue had already started a video conference with Mo Suqing using the office equipment!
“Didn't we just finalize things yesterday? Why another meeting today?”
Mo Suqing smiled brightly, her 37-degree mouth uttering the coldest words.
“Tianhai Group heard that I changed the nature of this land's use, and they contacted me during the day, shamelessly trying to get the land back...”
Zhou Yue's fiery temper immediately flared up.
“Dream on! Do they think they can just take it back? Oh, we pulled strings to change the use of this agricultural land, and now they want to swoop in and take the credit?”
“This was exchanged for a guild token! Do you know how much a guild token is being offered for outside right now? Even if we don't sell it, it's worth 100,000 guild points!”
As she spoke, Zhou Yue's suspicious gaze turned towards the unchanging smile of Mo Suqing!
“How did they find out so quickly?”
Zhou Yue's first dream in her youth was shattered when Mo Suqing acquired Chuangsheng.
Her impression of this woman had always been rather poor... Her first thought was to suspect this parachuted Vice Guild Leader... “Xiao Yueyue, if you suspect your sister like this, your sister will be very disheartened...”
“Don't shout nonsense, who are you calling Xiao Yueyue? Quickly tell me how they found out. Haven't all the industries there been given to you, and Tianhai's people withdrawn from Yun Province?”
“Didn't the Guild Leader instruct us to quickly find someone to design our own territory... I don't know any experts here in Yun Province, so I could only look among acquaintances...”
Yang Jian didn't find it particularly troublesome.
This matter was handled by Secretary Hu from the nominal Elder Council Secretary's Office!
In three hours, he completed procedures that would normally take three months!
Then the guild token was traded in the game... Now, Yang Jian's friends list had a new friend... ID: Group Leader Hu Mingwei!
Yang Jian didn't want to complain about their IDs; such administrative-style IDs didn't allow for his ridicule... However, this matter was clearly not something the Mo family from Linhai could interfere with!
Since the officials took the initiative to approach this matter, they clearly had some understanding of salvation and the Abyss!
Not to mention anything else, the fact that Si Lian Jiang Chang could fluctuate and eventually stabilize in the top tier meant that his talent was at least orange-grade!
With such a talent, he could also obtain a lot of information from NPCs!
After a brief compilation, Yang Jian believed that the current official emphasis on salvation would likely be at its peak... It was possible they had already figured out what Star Palace intended to do!
If Yang Jian handled things well, it would be good for defending the Southern Heaven.
If he didn't, they wouldn't suffer much loss either!
At this point, a merchant dared to cause trouble?
“Let's not talk about them. Go ahead and do it boldly! Regarding that land, if there are any problems, just go directly to the local government. No one can trip us up!”
“Let's talk about... Zhenhai City instead!”
