The first summon in the real world!
Two days later.
The news of Yang Jian appearing in Zhenhai City once again, accompanied by a viral image of him and Bamboo Leaf standing at the teleportation array, exploded across the internet.
It easily climbed to the top of the trending topics on all major platforms.
As a result, major powers once again began holding frantic meetings.
Jingdu.
Inside the conference room of the Rift and Salvation Emergency Response Committee.
The new nine-person group was once again seated together for a meeting.
"This panda is named Bamboo Leaf, and it's a pet of purple-tier aptitude!"
If you're wondering how Long Sihai knew so much?
That was, of course, Long Ruoling who told him!
It wasn't really a betrayal; after all, even many ordinary members had petted Bamboo Leaf's round head up close several times.
Related information, photos, and videos had long been spreading like wildfire across all major platforms.
"Do you know how Yang Jian performed the cross-realm teleportation? And where did he go?"
"How he teleported, no one currently knows, but where he went isn't a secret. Yang Jian mentioned casually upon his return that he went to a place called Tian Yao Realm, and there he contracted the panda Bamboo Leaf!"
He paused slightly.
"According to him, this panda is a Yao Clan member!"
What?
Fifth Elder rubbed his aching temples.
"How did another Yao Clan member suddenly appear?"
Long Sihai gave a wry smile. You ask me, who should I ask?
"Does Her Royal Highness, the Seventh Princess, know how to perform cross-realm teleportation?"
"In her dream, she was merely a low-level player who barely reached level 60 after the abyss invasion. This kind of world-spanning operation, she only heard that Zhou Yue had accomplished it!"
Yes, a dream!
There was no rebirth, just a Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly!
The officials had already confirmed the authenticity of the information Long Ruoling brought back... but as long as the abyss didn't arrive, Xia Country had to remain materialistic!
So, rebirth or anything... it didn't exist!
It could only be a dream!
Fifth Elder was silent for a moment.
"Don't you feel that President Yang's actions are becoming increasingly unrestrained?"
Chen Yang, the leader of the combat team, nodded.
"Indeed. Even if he knows the officials can't do anything to him for now, it shouldn't lead to this attitude!"
"What's wrong with his attitude? It's excellent! He even sold us a guild token..."
"It gives one a feeling of having no fear."
"You guys... do you think it's possible he can already use his abilities in the real world?"
The entire room fell silent... Meetings always failed to produce anything substantial.
In the days Yang Jian was away, the Liekong Society hadn't held a single meeting.
They had basically been leveling up quietly!
Now, even the high-ranking members, unless absolutely necessary, didn't log off during their evening hours!
And interestingly, unless it was due to a talent issue,
the professions chosen by the elders were mostly Paladins, which could tank and heal.
Being able to withstand two waves of attacks at critical moments was more important than anything!
Don't even mention rogues' stealth... there were countless anti-stealth methods in the game world.
Everyone believed the abyss would not lack anti-stealth capabilities!
Zhenhai City, Guild Outpost.
"Has everyone been alright these past two days?"
Yang Jian's question left everyone a bit confused.
"What could be wrong? Just leveling up!"
Leveling up is good!
"It just so happens I need to level up Bamboo Leaf! Why don't I just bring you all along for a couple of days?"
Yang Jian spent most of the day looking at the guild reports at the Guild Outpost.
In the two days he was gone, the guild had been running smoothly under the management of the several vice-presidents.
This caused their levels to be caught up to varying degrees... Everyone's eyes truly lit up, practically glowing.
Zhou Yue frowned.
"Won't that delay your leveling?"
"Hey, no matter how urgent it is, a day or two won't make a difference!"
Without waiting for others to object, Yang Jian immediately started calling out names.
"Youyou, Su Su, Xiaobai, just you three!"
A leveling party of five people could maximize leveling benefits.
After the envious crowd dispersed,
Zhou Yue came over to inquire about the gains from his long journey.
Yang Jian thought for a moment and gave her the intelligence report on the Heavens and the Abyss.
"From now on, I plan to go out and explore whenever I have a chance. See if there are any big gains."
Zhou Yue curiously scrutinized Yang Jian from head to toe.
"You can leave anytime now?"
Yang Jian nodded.
Zhou Yue couldn't help but get angry!
"Every single day, you have the nerve to tell me I'm cheating. Is my cheat as big as yours?"
Seeing Zhou Yue sulking, Yang Jian didn't have the heart to tell her.
That necklace had originally dropped at her feet.
It was just that he had picked it up as a bargain!
Strictly speaking, this wasn't even a bargain anymore!
This should be considered a snatch!
However, Yang Jian didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about snatching it from this young lady!
No worries!
In the future, when we no longer need it, this treasure can be passed down to our children... The Southeast Plains, after two or three days of quiet, once again welcomed its nemesis!
"I plan to build the future guild residence here. What do you all think?"
Upon arriving at the Southeast Plains, Yang Jian didn't rush to start work.
Instead, he first led everyone to a small town in the southwest corner.
He was soliciting everyone's opinions!
Mo Suqing frowned slightly at the environment.
"This place? The monster levels here range from 30 to 40! At the current leveling speed, when will our guild members be able to reach their own residence?"
Ah, this... it does seem to be a bit of a problem!
Bai Youyou also spoke up.
"Also, if guild members can't get here, how are we supposed to build the residence? Are you going to do it yourself?"
This question had an answer.
"Didn't you see the blueprints in the guild's private warehouse? The guild residence here needs to be built with blueprints!"
The guild had a total of ten warehouses: five private warehouses, which only the president and vice-presidents could view and withdraw from.
All the transcendent items Yang Jian and Zhou Yue had obtained were stored there.
There were also five public warehouses.
Ordinary guild members could view them but couldn't freely withdraw items.
They needed to exchange them using guild contribution points.
Although most of the good items circulated only within the five private warehouses of the guild,
even so, many pieces of equipment, cooking items, and materials in the five public warehouses were excellent items not seen elsewhere.
"Do all these buildings need corresponding blueprints to be constructed? Where are we going to get so many blueprints?"
Mo Suqing asked if they were going to play this way, what about the guild buildings outside?
"That's nothing to worry about... There should be a blueprint shop inside Zhenhai City's inner city.
It sells all sorts of blueprints... building blueprints, forging blueprints, cooking recipes, and so on!
However, you can only buy blueprints that you are qualified to purchase!"
Yang Jian, having received the latest intelligence, was no longer the novice who knew nothing about this game.
Now he knew quite a bit of secret information about the game.
"Should?"
"I haven't been there, but I know such a place exists!"
"What counts as being qualified?"
"For example, if you're a tailor and your tailoring skill is 150 or higher, you might be able to buy various blueprints up to 150!"
"So you can't buy anything over 150?"
"Of course not!"
You can only buy blueprints that you can learn and use.
If you can't use it immediately, it means you don't have the qualification!
"Then when can we buy blueprints for building a residence?"
"When it's time to build a residence, the president and vice-presidents will be able to buy residence-related blueprints at that shop!"
The group explored the abandoned small town.
It was clear that the location was quite good!
It was just unknown why it had been abandoned in the first place.
But it didn't matter... In any case, there was a river and a water source in the town.
It was diverted from the river that split the Southeast Plains in half.
From now on, this would be the Star Palace's territory.
Yang Jian summoned Bamboo Leaf and Mo Song.
Little Sea Turtle was officially relegated to the second line!
As for the Little Wild Wolf and Little Boar, two companions he hadn't seen in a long time,
Yang Jian had released them in Tian Yao Realm.
Nominally, it was the Yao Clan's realm, so he hoped they could find their opportunities and future there!
"Bamboo Leaf, you stay here with these sisters. Mo Song and I are going to pull monsters!"
"Pull monsters? I can too..."
The ever-strong Little Brother Bamboo Leaf!
But then again.
Actually, Bamboo Leaf's current level one health, attack, and defense
were already much stronger than Little Sea Turtle's at level twenty!
If Yang Jian were a bit more ruthless, it wasn't impossible for him to use it!
However... looking at the women around him, glaring and with 'disapproval' written all over their faces,
Yang Jian, being very sensible, appeased the giant panda who wanted to achieve great deeds.
Half an hour later, Yang Jian and Mo Song each pulled a group of wild monsters.
All five hundred-plus wild monsters in the entire southwest sector were pulled over.
Even the Silver-tier BOSS, Velociraptor King, was among them!
Yes, a Silver BOSS!
Golden BOSSes respawned 48 hours after being killed; the newly spawned one was only a Silver BOSS!
If a Silver BOSS could survive for ten days without being killed, it could once again become a Golden-tier one!
This clause applied to all wild BOSSes!
It also blocked the path for strong individuals like Yang Jian to exploit bugs and infinitely farm BOSSes.
After all, people who could farm Golden-tier BOSSes generally didn't care for Silver BOSSes.
Dungeon BOSSes were not included in this category.
Each time, their attributes were completely identical, without any change.
Yang Jian didn't intend to raise them to Golden-tier before killing them!
After all, these guys didn't drop orange-tier equipment for him, so it didn't matter!
Misdirection was cast on Mo Song, followed by a barrage of scatter shots... In less than a minute!
The scene was littered with corpses, a complete mess!
Unfortunately, none of those present leveled up!
The speed at which five people cleared the battlefield was truly extraordinary!
Yang Jian only focused on Skinning... He didn't know if it was because he was teamed up with Zhou Yue.
When Yang Jian was Skinning the Velociraptor BOSS, he even obtained a purple-tier leather.
【Sub-Dragon Hide (Purple)】
Undeniably, it was a good item!
This trip yielded over forty pieces of various purple-tier equipment of levels 30, 35, and 40.
When Yang Jian farmed by himself, he often had to clear the entire Southeast Plains to occasionally get this much loot!
Even the materials dropped more than usual... Yang Jian had already experienced this situation the last time he led a team to level up!
So he wasn't surprised, just a little envious.
After clearing the southwest sector,
when they moved to another area, the Blood Moon had already risen... Thinking of the moon in the Ten Thousand Mountains, it was bright and clear, and there was only one!
Was that Tian Yao Realm their original world, or the Howling Moon Wolf Clan's world in the game 'salvation'?
He knew nothing!
Although Yang Jian had spent most of yesterday reading messages from Tian Yao Realm, that particular document was too thick.
Yang Jian hadn't seen this part of the content!
He didn't know if it wasn't there or for some other reason!
Reading it himself was too slow.
He would split it and let Zhou Yue help read, and have her tell him any important points in time!
Taking these few people to level up together,
killing monsters, clearing the battlefield, and relocating were all very fast.
It took about an hour to completely clear one sector!
By the time the game world was faintly lit by dawn and the Blood Moon buff disappeared,
Yang Jian's team had already cleared the wild monsters of the entire Southeast Plains three times!
He checked his level: 31, with 7% experience.
Among the group, the lowest-level Bai Xiaobai had already reached level 17.
Although she hadn't entered the top ten on the leaderboard, she had caught up to the first tier.
Mo Suqing also returned to fourth place from eighth.
Looking at their tired figures,
Yang Jian decided not to continue!
"Log off and rest for two hours. We'll continue in two hours!"
"Thank you, boss!"
"President Uncle is the most handsome!"
Watching them log off one by one, Yang Jian thought for a moment and logged off as well.
Stepping out of his game pod, he looked at his office, which felt a bit unfamiliar.
Yang Jian was filled with emotion.
This peculiar feeling of waking up in a different time and space was truly wonderful.
Walking to an empty spot in the office, Yang Jian closed his eyes slightly.
Summon pet!
A wave of magic flashed, and Mo Song emerged from the void, appearing in Yang Jian's office!
Awoo... A wolf howl echoed all around.
Yang Jian's face darkened, and he slapped Mo Song's head.
"What are you howling about!"
Mo Song looked utterly bewildered from the slap.
I always howl when I come out; I've never been hit before!
He took out his phone and spoke in the large group chat of the studio.
Yang Jian: Sorry everyone, I don't know who turned up the volume of my office speakers to max...
Xia Mingwei: Boss is so polite, even specifically explained it.
Intelligence Zhu Zhongliang: Is the boss watching Animal Planet?
Su Mo: Boss seems to have been offline for many days; I haven't seen you eating these past few days!
...Yang Jian occasionally popped up in the group, and for a while, responders gathered!
Some believed it, and some didn't believe it at all!
Less than two minutes later, Zhou Yue pushed open the door to Yang Jian's office.
Yang Jian was sitting on a single sofa, his left hand resting on Mo Song, and his right arm around Bamboo Leaf!
Zhou Yue looked at Yang Jian, incredibly, and whispered, "How did you do that?"
