Chapter 339: Chapter 320 Successful Application for Aid in Battle
"Bei Batian?"
In a certain leveling spot, Tang Aotian looked at the information popping up in the message box with surprise:
Player "Bei Batian" is applying to support the [Tang Family Castle] guild, please choose:
[Agree] [Refuse]
A nearby player, Yao Ji, noticed this and curiously asked:
"Who’s this Bei Batian?"
"Is it your brother?"
This name oddly resembles ’Tang Aotian’ in a way, having the same domineering feel.
Tang Aotian shook his head and said:
"I don’t know him."
"But this person is applying to support our guild."
Then Tang Aotian looked at his fellow players and asked:
"Have you guys heard of this person?"
Yet all present shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know.
"Applying to support our guild?"
Yao Ji chuckled:
"In our current situation, anyone still willing to choose to support us must truly love us!"
Yao Ji looked at Tang Aotian:
"Did you agree?"
Tang Aotian shook his head:
"No."
Yao Ji, puzzled:
"Why didn’t you agree?"
At this point, Qi Xia from the other side spoke:
"Old Tang is worried this person might be some trick cooked up by that group of Goryeo folks."
In response, Yao Ji laughed and said:
"Aren’t you guys being too cautious?"
"Given our situation, do they even need to play any tricks?"
"By the time the event is over, if Park Renyong comes at us again, we’re pretty much GG even if we drag it out. Why would they need to come up with such a trick?"
Then Yao Ji shared his own thoughts:
"I’m actually curious about what kind of person would choose to stand with us at this time, what do you think, Old Tang?"
Tang Aotian thought about this and slightly nodded in agreement:
"I want to see too."
Subsequently, Tang Aotian chose: [Agree].
...
"Congratulations, you have obtained the qualification to support the [Tang Family Castle]. Please enter the domain within 10 minutes before the event starts, otherwise, the support qualification will be automatically canceled."
After Lin Yi received the agreement, he glanced up at the magnificent City Lord’s Mansion in the distance, then turned and headed towards the Teleportation Array.
It’s already 4 PM now, as the event starts tomorrow at noon.
There’s still plenty of time, Lin Yi intended to find a place to level up.
To avoid being recognized, Lin Yi did not summon the Behemoth.
Instead, the Jade Qilin was tucked comfortably inside Lin Yi’s loose robe pocket, constantly urging Lin Yi with slight annoyance:
"Hurry up and reach Fourth Transformation, once I transform, I won’t have to be hidden like this anymore."
To this, Lin Yi could only respond with helplessness.
To prevent his true identity from being revealed, this was the only viable option.
In such a perilous environment and with Jade Qilin being so noticeable, there was really no other choice.
Otherwise, with Lin Yi’s current strength, it’s not enough to contend against players from a battle zone!
Moreover, Lin Yi just wanted to complete the task and leave as soon as possible without causing any trouble.
Lin Yi went online to check out the game information of the Goryeo area and finally confirmed a leveling spot located north of Xinquan City, known as "Fishman Island," with level 39 wild monsters.
According to the online information, Fishman Island hosts various Fishmen ranging from Lv35 to Lv39.
Given Lin Yi’s current level and strength, killing level 39 monsters seemed more worthwhile.
Additionally, considering the average level of the Goryeo side, Lin Yi shouldn’t worry about being disturbed while leveling up here.
Lin Yi can thus exert himself fully without concerns.
When Lin Yi appeared on Fishman Island via the Teleportation Array, a salt-laden sea breeze immediately hit him.
Around the Teleportation Array were Fishmen holding fish spears, clad thinly, with rather unattractive faces.
In fact, on the western coast of the ocean, there lived a race called the Sea Race.
And the Fishmen, among the many branches of the Sea Race, are the most numerous yet the lowest in status.
Only because the Fishman Race is the known race that hasn’t evolved to have independent thought and wisdom.
Even if they evolved limbs and gained the ability to leave water, their actions remain tethered to biological instincts, focusing only on relentless slaughter.
Of course, the Fishmen in front of Lin Yi are merely system-generated monsters for players to level up on, not the indigenous residents of this world.
When Lin Yi arrived, the surrounding situation was indeed as anticipated, sparsely populated.
The island, albeit small, covered a vast area.
Passing through the level 37 monster zone, Lin Yi saw almost no other players.
It took Lin Yi nearly twenty minutes to find his target: Bomb Fishman Lv39
Once confirming there was no one around, Lin Yi summoned the Behemoth:
"Alright, let’s get to work here."
The Jade Qilin also reclaimed its true form, roaring:
"Roar!"
"Finally, I see the light of day again!"
Lin Yi mercilessly slapped the Jade Qilin’s head:
"You go with Xiao Jin to pull monsters."
The once imposing Jade Qilin suddenly became meek as a wronged wife, pouting:
"I’m a Divine Beast, yet you make me do such..."
Lin Yi glared at the Jade Qilin:
"Such what?"
Feeling Lin Yi’s faint killing intent, the Jade Qilin shivered and dashed off, calling out to the already charging Golden Behemoth:
"That area is mine."
Since the Golden Behemoth matured, Lin Yi realized it’s perfect for pulling monsters due to its freakish defense paired with Jade Qilin’s agility.
Even the level 39 Fishmen dealt less than three-digit damage to the Behemoth.
And Lin Yi could kill these Fishmen before the Behemoth’s health ran out, after which the Golden Behemoth would regenerate to full health upon leaving combat.
At that point, the respawned monsters could be pulled again, and the cycle would continue.
Throughout this whole process, Lin Yi only needed to focus on releasing skills.
Probably in this game, there aren’t many who can ’easily’ grind monsters like Lin Yi.
...
While Lin Yi was engrossed in grinding, at another leveling spot, Tang Aotian was puzzled:
"Strange, this Bei Aotian hasn’t contacted us, what’s he planning."
Yao Ji guessed:
"Could this guy just be messing with us?"
Tang Aotian shook his head with a smile:
"Nobody’s bored enough to joke about this, unless he doesn’t plan to participate in this event."
But what Tang Aotian thought was, facing those rich rewards, who could resist such temptation?
Qi Xia exclaimed in surprise:
"I can’t even add him as a friend, how odd."
If adding friends was rejected, there should at least be a notification.
However, when Qi Xia tried adding the target as a friend, the notification read: "Target not in service area."
Then Tang Aotian and Yao Ji tried successively, leaving them looking at each other in confusion.
Yao Ji subconsciously shrank his neck and said:
"Could it be haunted?"
Tang Aotian laughed to himself:
"Interesting."
Then said:
"Let’s keep grinding, whether he’s human or ghost, we’ll find out tomorrow."
