After they left, Ling Yi carried Lin Shurou and returned to his room.

“I’m going to take a shower.”

“Go on.”

Ling Yi had to reflect on himself three times a day, and he also had to do his daily summary and organization.

He sat at the desk and first organized the things he had to do in the next few days.

[Current Time: 11th (Tuesday) ]

[13th (Thursday): Arena Qualification]

[Enemy: Assessment Monster]

[15th (Saturday): The great realm, Forest Temple.]

[Target: level 50 magical beast leader – Thousand-year Tree Spirit]

[??: The great world]

[Target: level 50 Beast King – King Kong Ape]

‘Mm… Other than the event, these are the only three things you have to do in the near future, right?’

Ling Yi thought about it carefully. When he was sure that he didn’t miss anything, he made a simple analysis.

‘I can definitely pass the Arena Qualification. After I pass, I can level up.’

‘I can defeat the Thousand-year Tree Spirit, but I have to be careful of the other players who are in the realm too.’

‘The Great World is much more dangerous…’

It was impossible for him to kill the Beast King in an instant. The battle against the Beast King would take at least dozens of minutes.

During that time, almost all the high-level monsters and players would be attracted to this place.

Just thinking about it made him feel that it was unnecessarily troublesome.

“Mm…”

‘How did the others deal with this situation?’ He wondered as he rubbed his chin.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the introduction to domain Skills that he had seen on the forum appeared in his mind.

It was a Skill that could trap the ground so that the sound inside would not spread out, and the battle inside would not affect the outside world.

These Skills were extremely rare!

‘If I had a territory Skill, the probability of attracting other monsters and players would be greatly reduced… And I have an additional boost in the domain…’

‘Wait a minute… If that’s the case, it’s indeed necessary for me to get a domain Skill.’

If he remembered correctly, there was a related item in the Event Store.

[Random Territory Skill Voucher]: After use, one can obtain a random territory Skill.

[Exchange Price: 1,000 Night Stones (limited to 5 – 4 remaining)]

“… Tsk… Someone has already bought one…”

Ling Yi felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

He had to hurry up tonight!

…

June 11th, 8 am.

It was sunny outside.

After Ling Yi slowly finished his breakfast, he unhurriedly entered God’s Path.

This time, he only wanted to farm monsters and gain exp. Other than that, he had no other goal for the day.

However, as soon as he arrived at the camp, he heard a lot of noise.

“Waa! Is this District 66? It looks even brighter.”

“So many people! Were they all new players who had entered the game using their player qualification cards? They all chose this area?”

“That’s for sure! The District 66th of this year’s June batch is the most famous server in the world!”

“There’s a super big shot in this area who defeated the Beast King twice! And I heard that he’s a loner and doesn’t interact with others at all. For newbies like us, a server with solo bosses like this is the best place to develop!”

“…”

It was as if there were thousands of people gathered at a banquet.

He looked around and could clearly feel that the number of people had increased.

[You have absorbed 73 excitement points from Li Feng.]

[You have absorbed 77 happiness points from Zhang Yi.]

[…]

The Super Mutation system’s information also appeared much faster than before!

And through the conversations he had overheard, he understood the reason.

It turned out that these new faces were all new players who had entered their district through the ‘player qualification card’!

The player qualification card costs 10 Night Stone per card. As long as one was lucky enough to open a few treasure chests in a row or was willing to spend money to buy one from a player, it was not particularly difficult to gather 10 Night Stones in one night.

‘Sh*t… If this continues, more and more people will come to my district.’

When he thought about the 100 million player qualification cards, there was a little quirk on his lips. ‘Not all of them, but even if only half of them chose to come to District 66, that’s still 50 million…’

‘… I heard that the map will expand and there will be a resource challenge when we join the zone. I wonder if there will be an increase in our numbers?’

Ling Yi was filled with anticipation when he thought about the tens of millions of newcomers that would come to his district in the future.

This way, even if he came in at four or five o’clock in the morning, there would still be people coming and going, and it would be very lively— he liked this kind of lively atmosphere more.

Ling Yi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He took a step and flew into the air, flying into the distance.

He was extremely fast. Not to mention the new players, even the original players in the original area would not be able to see him clearly.

…

At the same time…

On Burning Scorched Earth, Luo Yao was killing Fire Elementals.

“[Fireball]!”

After killing another Fire Elemental with another [Fireball], she quickly ran to a few boulders to rest.

“Hah… Hah… Hah…”

This was the resting place that everyone had tacitly agreed to. Besides Luo Yao, there were quite a few other people here.

She sat down, took out a bottle of water from her backpack, and began to drink.

The temperature in Burning Scorched Earth was very high, and one would be drenched in sweat after a short while. The more experienced players would prepare more water.

While Luo Yao was resting, Qin Mengya, who was in the depths of her soul, sighed softly.

“You level up so slowly.”

Hearing this, Luo Yao was slightly speechless. She pursed her lower lip and replied in her heart, ‘I’m already leveling up very quickly. 13 levels in 11 days, that’s very, very fast!’

“I know…” She sighed, “It’s just that when I think about how 01 is already over level 30, I feel like there’s a way to go faster.”

01 was ranked first in the level 30 – 39 region, which meant that he was at least level 30.

The various high organizations that had been paying attention to 01 had received this news the day he had reached the top.

“You can’t compare me to him. We’re not the same.” Luo Yao felt helpless.

“But at this rate, you’ll need about 10 years to reach level 72.”

When she had entered the depths of Luo Yao’s soul, she had already known that it would take a long time before she could come out again.

At first, it was a little novel, and she felt that it was just a change of perspective to look at the world.

However, she couldn’t do anything here, and the longer she stayed, the more bored she became.

At the thought that she would have to stay here for another ten years, she felt as if she was in prison.

Luo Yao’s mind was meticulous, and she could hear the loneliness in her voice. She couldn’t help but feel a trace of guilt in her heart when she said, ‘I’m Sorry. I’m too slow in leveling up…’

“Do you still remember that broken divine artifact?” Qin Mengya suddenly said.

‘Huh?’

Luo Yao was shocked when she heard Qin Mengya’s words.

‘I remember,’

Five years ago, a group of people attacked a divine weapon called “Inherited Power” with full force in an attempt to destroy it.

As a result, the divine artifact turned into five fragments and flew all over the world, and its whereabouts were unknown.

“If you can put all the fragments of that divine artifact together, perhaps it can be restored to its original state.”

“If there’s really such a thing, you can go to my clansmen,” Qin Mengya said with hope in her eyes.

‘Then…Then wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you?’

Luo Yao felt a little overwhelmed.

She still had new memories of the effects of the divine weapon “Inherited Power”…
