92: Traverse the battlefield and collect lots of lottery tickets.

After a series of attacks, the Ear Rats' spiritual power was running low, and their offensive gradually weakened.

At this moment, Yao Jianzhong, the commander of the South City Wall, issued an order,

telling the Strength-type Ability Users to prepare to descend the wall and Face the enemy.

...

"Su Chen, what about you? Are you staying with us to defend the City Wall, or are you going down?"

"Just so you know, the pressure below the City Wall is immense."

"Yesterday, our team leader, who is at the Third-rank, was crippled within half an hour of going down. If he hadn't been saved, he'd be drinking Mengpo Soup by now."

"I'm going down."

What was the point of a power Breakthrough if he just hid on the City Wall? It was the perfect time to go down and test his skills.

"Boss, I'll go with you."

"No need. You stay on the City Wall. It's too risky for you to go down in this situation."

"This... alright, I'll listen to you. Then be careful, Boss!"

During their conversation, the Ear Rats' probing attacks stopped, and the battlefield instantly fell silent.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the Ear Rat army's assault.

The alarm sounded again; everyone knew this was the command to attack.

In an instant, shouts of battle erupted all over the City Wall as Ability Users began to condense their Abilities to attack.

At the same time, a group of Strength-type Ability Users jumped off the City Wall to intercept. Su Chen joined them.

A Second-tier Ear Rat was about the size of a tiger, while a Third-tier Ear Rat was as large as an elephant.

A Third-tier Ear Rat could be considered a living target. Elemental-type Ability Users preferred these, as they could hit them even with their eyes closed.

Conversely, Second-tier Exotic Beasts were small, giving Elemental-type Ability Users quite a headache.

They were small and fast, making the hit rate of long-range attacks pitiful.

Su Chen and the others rushed down the City Wall to prioritize dealing with the Second-tier Ear Rats.

Su Chen took the lead,

with Lightning Art in his left hand and a fireball in his right. Originally a long-range Ability User, he had forced himself into the role of a melee mage.

With close-range spell attacks, grabbing an Ear Rat by the throat and using Lightning Art resulted in a hundred percent hit rate.

The superior single-target lethality of the Lightning Element Ability, combined with the large-scale crowd control of the Fire Element Ability,

allowed him to handle both group attacks and individual ambushes with ease.

Entering the Second-rank, combined with the effects of the marrow cleansing fruit, had given his strength a qualitative leap.

Exotic Beasts like the Third-tier ones that used to give him a headache were now taken down in a single strike during his ambushes.

One comes, one dies; a group comes, a group dies.

...

Chen Yuan looked at the fireball in his hand, then at Su Chen's Fire Tornado that instantly killed three Second-tier Ear Rats.

For some reason, he felt he was losing a bit of Face.

Both had an A-rank Talent, both were Second-rank, and Su Chen had only just reached the Second-rank Breakthrough.

Why was the gap so large?

"Yang Junlong, this friend of yours is quite fierce. If I were to duel him, I feel like I'd only end up getting beaten."

Yang Junlong was slightly proud: "Of course.

So I'm telling you, hurry back and finish the paperwork to come over to our side. Following my boss has a great future.

I'm serious. If you come too late, there won't be a spot for you."

"Alright, if I can make it back alive, I'll definitely consider it."

[Ding! Gained Chen Yuan's favorability, lottery ticket +1.]

...

Su Chen shuttled through the front lines of the battlefield, proactively engaging the Ear Rats.

Every time he killed an enemy and heard the System's occasional announcements, he felt delighted.

As expected, showing off on the battlefield made farming favorability effortless.

The battlefield was only so big. Every time someone glanced at him and saw his bravery, it triggered a series of favorability points.

This was respect for the strong coming from the bottom of their hearts. Without him saying a word, lottery tickets were rolling in.

But then again... where are my teammates!

Using another Fire Tornado to burn the surrounding Ear Rats to ashes, he looked around. There wasn't a single comrade nearby, only Ear Rats!

Not a single one!

Turning his head, he realized what was happening and felt like he'd been tricked by Chen Yuan.

They said they were going down to kill enemies, but they were just hanging around within ten meters of the City Wall.

On the other hand, he had unknowingly moved two hundred meters away from the City Wall. Aside from Ear Rats and Exotic Beasts, it was just him.

No wonder everyone was giving so much favorability now. How could someone so unconventional not be noticed?

How could he not be admired?

Although he wanted to keep showing off, half of his spiritual power was already consumed.

Though he had trump cards like the Advanced Spiritual Power Recovery Potion, using them in private was fine, but how could he explain it if he showed off too much now?

A Second-rank acting like a meat grinder, slaughtering his way in and out of Second-tier and Third-tier Exotic Beast swarms?

Su Chen pulled out the seven star dragon abyss sword from his waist and fought his way back. At the same time, he reduced his use of Abilities and started using only sword techniques.

This time, his teammates were decent enough. Yao Jianzhong, the person in charge of the South City Wall, personally came to meet him.

Yao Jianzhong's favorability arrived before he did.

[Ding! Gained Yao Jianzhong's favorability, lottery ticket +1.]

"Young man, you're quite fierce! I thought you were planning to fight your way all the way to the enemy's nest."

"Hahaha... if I had enough spiritual power, I would have."

Su Chen gave a casual explanation and followed the team led by Yao Jianzhong back to the vicinity of the City Wall.

With another sword strike, he killed an Ear Rat, which turned into black ash and vanished. Using a sword to deal with them was much easier than yesterday.

Although there were no spoils when the Ear Rats turned into black ash, who would care about that? Anyway, Su Chen didn't care.

He only cared about the lottery ticket gains.

Having earned five or six hundred tickets in a short while, he was very satisfied.

Su Chen continued to fight on the battlefield with his longsword, focusing more on helping his comrades.

With a sword thrust, he eliminated an Ear Rat on someone and reached out to pull the young man up from the ground:

"Classmate, be careful."

"Thanks a lot!"

[Ding! Gained Li Chengshi's favorability, lottery ticket +0.5.]

Su Chen didn't delay. His figure flashed as he saved another young man besieged by two Exotic Beasts.

[Ding! Gained Zhou Anjian's favorability, lottery ticket +1.]

"Thanks, man!"

"No problem, we should help each other!"

lottery tickets: 5243.89

Lottery Wheel: Orange Quality

He was very happy that every time he saved someone, he gained lottery tickets. Unknowingly, the number of lottery tickets had exceeded five thousand.

You have to know, three days ago, he had just used 10,000 tickets to clear it out. In four days, another 5,000 lottery tickets had arrived.

At this rate, what would a 100,000-draw streak even matter?

Su Chen continued to help people below the wall, occasionally saving a life or preventing a comrade from being seriously injured.

Although he worked hard, helping his teammates in times of crisis and saving them from life-and-death situations, his teammates' stamina was limited.

The teammates around him decreased one by one as they retreated to the City Wall to rest.

After a long battle, many were covered in wounds and retreated to the rear. Fewer and fewer people were fighting below the wall.

Now, only some Third-rank military Ability Users remained. Second-rank users were very few, most having run out of stamina and spiritual power and retreated to the City Wall.

However, Su Chen, a Second-rank Ability User, did not back down. He drank a bottle of Spiritual Power Recovery Potion and a bottle of Slow Recovery Potion.

He continued to kill enemies alongside the remaining dozens of military men.

As the number of people below the wall decreased, the gazes focused on him increased once more, and the lottery tickets he gained also grew.

From time to time, he even gained lottery tickets from the two big shots in the air.

But... Su Chen felt it wasn't enough.

"Classmates!

Leave the Exotic Beasts below the wall to me! As long as I, Su Chen, have a breath left, they will never charge up to ambush you!"

[Ding! Gained Zhou Anjian's favorability, lottery ticket +1.]

[Ding! Gained...]

[Ding! Gained...]

Yao Jianzhong felt relieved seeing such a fierce general among his subordinates.

But... then again,

I seem to be the commander of this defensive line. Shouldn't I be the one saying that?

Since you said it, what... am I supposed to say?

"Hold the line to the death with Classmate Su!"

"Hold the line to the death with Classmate Su!"

"Hold..."

Seeing his soldiers' morale so high, Yao Jianzhong also compromised.

"Hold the line to the death with Classmate Su!"

[Ding! Gained Yao Jianzhong's favorability, lottery ticket +1.]

[Ding! Gained...]

[Ding! Gained...]
