After dinner.
At nine in the evening, when Ning Tiantian came out of the bathroom after her shower, she found the master bedroom door open, but it was empty.
She went back to her room, picked up her phone, and saw that Zhang Yue was online.
Without even bothering to dry her hair, she logged in immediately.
Ning Tiantian, suppressing her inner fear, avoided the various man-eating bugs on the road and ran all the way to the man-eating ant nest. Sure enough, she found Zhang Yue there, soloing the man-eating giant ants.
Zhang Yue had just finished off one giant ant when he turned around and saw Ning Tiantian approaching. He said, “Didn’t I tell you to rest early and not log in?”
Ning Tiantian was clearly worried about Zhang Yue being in danger while farming alone, but she didn’t express her true thoughts. “I… I couldn’t sleep.”
So, Zhang Yue didn’t say much more and created a team, pulling Ning Tiantian into the party.
With Ning Tiantian’s healing, Zhang Yue switched to group farming mode.
However, it wasn’t long before Wu Haotian also arrived, carrying his spear.
“Why are you here too? Weren’t you supposed to eat and sleep?”
Wu Haotian planted his spear with a clang and said, “I’m not a gigolo. Since I’m getting paid at your Temple of Destiny, I have to work for it!”
“Come on, let’s fight till dawn tonight!”
Zhang Yue glanced at Wu Haotian and said, “Aren’t you afraid you’ll help me kill monsters too quickly and assist me in refining the Golden Secret Order?”
Wu Haotian shrugged. “Doesn’t matter. If you really refine the Golden Secret Order, I’ll just have to accept my bad luck!”
“But I think it’s more likely you’ll be paying me triple my salary tomorrow, hahaha!”
Just as he finished speaking.
With Zhang Yue’s Hell Judgment, he killed two man-eating giant ants in front of him, gaining ten refinement opportunities and performing a one-click refinement.
Whoosh!
The originally dull copper token in Zhang Yue’s hand suddenly glowed with a golden light!
At that moment, the smile on Wu Haotian’s face froze.
“Damn! The Golden Secret Order… it actually got refined!”
“It’s over, my salary for this month is gone!”
Seeing Zhang Yue successfully refine the Golden Secret Order, Wu Haotian didn’t feel happy at all. His mind was filled with the thought of losing 150,000, and he felt utterly despondent.
Only Ning Tiantian was genuinely happy. “Brother Zhang Yue succeeded! That’s great!”
Without delay, Zhang Yue immediately used the order.
“Ding~ Congratulations on using the Golden Secret Order to upgrade the Night Fortress to a Hidden Secret Realm. You have received an exclusive activation reward: Gold Coins +20, and the equipment Night Cloak!”
[Area Announcement] (Dawn Sanctuary): “Ding~ Attention all Professionals of Dawn Sanctuary: Professional [Zero] has used the Golden Secret Order to upgrade the ordinary secret realm Night Fortress to a Hidden Secret Realm, which will last for 1 hour. All Professionals are welcome to challenge the Hidden Secret Realm!”
As this announcement was made.
At this moment, in a level 36 wild area in the southern part of Dawn Sanctuary, the Infinity Sword Saint, leading his guild members on a mission, was suddenly shocked.
“Zero?!”
“When did this kid come to the Fifth World? And he actually refined the Golden Secret Order and activated a Hidden Secret Realm!”
A guild member accompanying him noticed the key point:
“Vice President, it’s said that the Night Lord, the gatekeeper in the Night Fortress secret realm in the Fifth World, has a chance to drop the rare Priest poison healing skill book, which is worth over a million on the market and is extremely hard to come by!”
“Normally, the drop rate for the poison healing skill from the Night Lord is very low, but once upgraded to a Hidden Secret Realm, the drop rate will definitely increase significantly!”
The Infinity Sword Saint obviously thought of this too. “This is the perfect opportunity to kill Zero and take his secret realm, thus quenching my long-standing hatred!”
A subordinate advised, “That Zero is too strong. We suffered a loss last time in the Fourth World.”
“Vice President, should we inform the Guild Leader to come over?”
“The Guild Leader is busy with guild affairs and hasn’t cleared the Fourth World yet. The Hidden Secret Realm only exists for 1 hour; by the time he arrives, it will be too late.” The Infinity Sword Saint said, “That kid surely doesn’t know we are also in the Fifth World. We can sneak in, and with just one Assassin, we can one-shot kill him when he’s not paying attention!”
Despite his words, the Infinity Sword Saint merely wanted to monopolize the Hidden Secret Realm’s rewards.
So, he immediately led over thirty Professionals from the Infinity Guild towards the Night Fortress secret realm!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Zhang Yue, Ning Tiantian, and Wu Haotian passed through the golden barrier and entered the secret realm.
“Ding~ Welcome to the Hidden Secret Realm Night Fortress. The secret realm mission has been issued: Please kill 50 Night Ghouls and defeat the gatekeeper Night Lord Ray Jaden!”
In a dark, abandoned city.
Wu Haotian said to Zhang Yue, “Shouldn’t we close the entrance?”
“I’m afraid the Infinity Guild has also reached the Fifth World. If they hear the announcement, they’ll definitely come to steal the secret realm.”
Zhang Yue replied calmly, “I hope they do come.”
“?” Wu Haotian was puzzled.
Zhang Yue then opened his storage space and took out the equipment Night Cloak, which was rewarded by the system when the Hidden Secret Realm was activated.
The activation reward for a Hidden Secret Realm was bound to be good.
It was a level 35, 4-star quality item!
Zhang Yue performed a one-click refinement, consuming 600,000 psionic energy, upgrading it from white to gold!
[Night Shadow Cloak] (lv35·Armor)
[Quality: 4-star]
[Attributes: Gold]
[Health Points: 2600]
[Additional: Constitution +25, Agility +25]
[Effect: Shadow (Passive, immune to damage when attacked, triggers every 5 seconds, effect can be shared with pets)]
[Description: A cloak born in the night, capable of shielding you from fatal damage at critical moments…]
He immediately equipped the Night Shadow Cloak, boosting his health points to over 5600!
Who dares to say Beast Tamers have low vitality now?
Next, the three began their secret realm mission.
As a level 36 secret realm, the monsters in the Night Fortress ranged from levels 36 to 38.
They were all quadrupedal humanoid monsters: Night Ghouls!
Night Ghouls were extremely fast, with explosive power and high damage, but their health was relatively low.
Zhang Yue couldn’t one-shot kill a level 36 man-eating giant ant with his four S-rank skills, but he could easily one-shot kill a level 36 Night Ghoul!
The level 37 and 38 ghouls had higher defense and health, so Zhang Yue couldn’t one-shot kill them.
However, with Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian’s help, they were still relatively easy to handle.
They quickly killed 50 ghouls.
The three arrived at the depths of the Night Fortress.
In the distance, they saw a massive, four to five meters tall, blood-red beast with a gaping maw that looked like it could swallow an elephant whole. It was a terrifying super quadruped beast.
Wu Haotian, carrying his flaming spear, stared at the beast excitedly. “The big guy is finally here!”
Zhang Yue raised his staff. “Let’s finish this quickly.”
With that, the three began their attack on the level 38 lord monster, Night Lord Ray Jaden!
Meanwhile.
With a flash of white light, the Infinity Sword Saint led thirty Infinity Guild Professionals into the Night Fortress secret realm.
Ignoring the prerequisite task of killing ghouls, the Infinity Sword Saint said, “Let’s go in and take down that guy, then the lord monster!”
“Yes!”
The group avoided the Night Ghouls along the way and quickly moved towards the depths of the secret realm.
Soon, they reached the lord area.
However, the scene before them left the Infinity Sword Saint and his group astonished.
They saw the massive, blood-red beast, Night Lord Ray Jaden, with about half its health remaining, standing in an open area.
Not far in front of the Night Lord, a small pile of silver coins and potions lay scattered on the ground!
“What’s going on? Did that guy get killed by the Night Lord?”
“Right, Beast Tamers have notoriously low health! No matter how high their damage output, if they can’t take a hit, what’s the use? He must have been killed by the Night Lord!”
“That guy is even more useless than I thought, can’t even handle a level 38 lord monster,” the Infinity Sword Saint said, feigning regret. “What a pity, couldn’t kill him myself.”
“This is truly a heaven-sent opportunity!” The Infinity Sword Saint pointed his sword at the Night Lord and ordered, “Brothers, take down the Night Lord first!”
