Currently, with Zhang Yue’s strength, he can easily sweep through the Fifth World. There’s no longer any challenge or excitement here.
Thinking about it, he should quickly break through the Fifth World and head to the Sixth World!
So next, his main focus will be on completing the two world missions: [Accumulate 100 Energy Cells] and [Rescue Three Survivors].
The former is relatively easy to complete. After all, as long as he kills monsters in the Fifth World, there’s a chance they will drop energy cells.
Although he hasn’t been deliberately doing world missions these days, through constant monster hunting, he has already collected over 80 energy cells!
For the latter, he still needs to rescue one more survivor.
So before setting out this time, Zhang Yue took a mission from an NPC guard named Ezio in the Dawn Sanctuary, which could be done concurrently with the two world missions—
[Rescue Operation] (Ordinary Mission)
[Difficulty Coefficient: 550]
[Description: Three days ago, the guard team ventured into the primal forest to rescue survivors. To this day, no one has returned. Please, Professionals, go to the primal forest to hunt the man-eating pythons, eliminate the threat to the Dawn Sanctuary, and rescue at least one survivor, bringing them safely back to the Dawn Sanctuary.]
[Mission Progress: 0/300 (Man-Eating Pythons), Survivors (0/1)]
[Mission Time: 36 hours]
[Mission Rewards: Experience Points +, Gold Coin +1, Psionic Energy +, Random 4-Star Equipment +1, Energy Cells +10]
Completing this ordinary mission would almost synchronize Zhang Yue’s progress in finishing the Fifth World’s tasks!
Lin Tian and the other three also took on their respective missions.
The five of them were on their way to the [Primal Forest].
Suddenly, a group of seemingly blind Professionals blocked their path, trying to harass Ouyang Ling’er and Ning Tiantian!
There were dozens of them, looking quite unfamiliar.
Their levels ranged around 32-33, and all had IDs prefixed with [Werewolf Gang], clearly a second-rate guild.
The leader, a Level 33 Knight named [Werewolf Gang, Mad], pushed aside Wu Haotian, who was blocking the way, and leered at Ning Tiantian and Ouyang Ling’er, saying with a smirk, “Beauties, hanging out with these losers won’t get you anywhere. Why not join our Werewolf Gang? We’re the ninth-ranked guild in Ganyang City. Follow me, Mad, and you’ll live the high life in the Otherworld!”
Wu Haotian glanced at Zhang Yue and said, “Boss, he called you a loser.”
Lin Tian added, “He means all three of us.”
Before Zhang Yue could react.
Nearby passersby, who weren’t blind, had already started mourning for the Werewolf Gang’s provocateurs.
“Whoa! Are these guys crazy? They dare to mess with Zero’s people from Linhai City!”
“Probably not crazy, just blind. They didn’t recognize who they were dealing with.”
“One is the top boss of Linhai City, another is the former Vice President of the Infinity Guild, and the third is the former President of the God of War Guild… Tsk, let’s mourn for these blind Werewolf Gang members for three seconds and stand back so we don’t get splattered with blood!”
On the field, Lin Tian couldn’t bear it and kindly reminded the Werewolf Gang’s Professionals, “I advise you to leave our sight within three seconds. After all, Resurrection Scrolls aren’t cheap.”
Hearing this.
The Werewolf Gang’s Professionals burst into laughter.
“Oh, is that four-eyes threatening us?”
“Haha, that’s hilarious! Do they even know who we are?”
“Ignorance is bliss. Remember to bring your brain next time you go out!”
Saying this, the Werewolf Gang’s Professionals brandished their weapons and approached Zhang Yue’s group.
“We gave you a chance.”
Thunder Mage Lin Tian slowly raised his staff.
Before he could make a move.
Suddenly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Countless arrows rained down from the sky, covering the entire area, instantly killing all the Werewolf Gang’s Professionals present!
When Mad turned around, he saw a dozen beams of white light shooting into the sky, and all his subordinates were gone!
In an instant, Mad was terrified.
The next moment, he saw a large group of high-level Professionals, all with [Infinity] IDs and fully equipped in gold gear, surrounding them from all directions!
Seemingly understanding something, Mad panicked and said, “I’m sorry… I didn’t know they were from the Infinity Guild! Please, spare me!”
Level 35 Epic Grade Phantom Assassin, Infinity Phantom, stood at the forefront of the Infinity Guild crowd and said to Mad, “Next time you go out, remember to bring your brain.”
With that, he waved his right hand.
Beside him, Mage Infinity Tianfa raised his staff and quickly cast a spell.
Boom, boom!
Fireball Spell + Ice Spike Spell, a two-hit combo, with 2100+2300 points of damage, instantly killed Mad!
Seeing this unusual action from the Infinity Guild, Lin Tian asked, “What do you mean by this?”
Without answering Lin Tian’s question, Infinity Phantom just waved his hand.
Then, Vice President Infinity Sword Saint personally brought a silver, exquisite storage box to Zhang Yue and presented it to him with both hands.
Infinity Phantom explained to Zhang Yue, “Inside are 1000 gold coins, a set of Level 35 4-Star all-gold Dark Set, and a rare Beast Tamer skill book.”
“This is an order from the Tian Family patriarch, asking me to deliver these items to you.”
“One should not receive rewards without merit,” Zhang Yue said. “Why is the Tian Family giving me these things?”
Infinity Sword Saint sighed lightly and said, “To be honest, although I don’t like you much, and even find you a bit annoying, your luck is truly remarkable to have caught the eye of the Tian Family’s young lady!”
“Let me put it this way, this is the Tian Family’s betrothal gift. The Tian Family’s young lady, Tian Xin’er, has taken a liking to you!”
As soon as these words were spoken, many onlookers cast envious and jealous glances at Zhang Yue.
“Did he say the young lady of the Tian Family, the top family in Tianjing?”
“My goodness! Just the value of this betrothal gift alone must exceed ten million! The Tian Family is really generous!”
“That’s nothing. Think about the Tian Family’s power and status! They’re the top family in Tianjing, and even in the entire Dragon Kingdom, they’re a prominent presence! And it’s rumored that the Tian Family’s young lady, Tian Xin’er, is as beautiful as a fairy. This is like marrying a rich, beautiful woman and reaching the pinnacle of life!”
“Why didn’t this happen to me? Oh, God! I wouldn’t have to work hard for the rest of my life. I’m so envious!!”
Anyone else would find it impossible to refuse such a betrothal gift.
However, Zhang Yue was indifferent to it. “Thank the Tian Family for their appreciation and kindness on my behalf, but please return these items.”
After saying that, Zhang Yue left directly, under the incredulous gazes of the surrounding Infinity Guild Professionals and onlookers.
Lin Tian and Wu Haotian caught up with Zhang Yue.
“Man! Why didn’t you accept such a good thing?” Wu Haotian said incredulously. “It’s the top family in Tianjing, the Tian Family! Marrying into the Tian Family would bring endless wealth and glory, and the young lady, Tian Xin’er, is so beautiful. I’ve heard her suitors could line up from Tianjing to Dragon City! And you actually rejected her?”
As soon as Wu Haotian finished speaking, Zhang Yue’s nonchalant reply left him speechless: “I have no time for romance.”
For Zhang Yue, who was over a hundred years old in a certain sense, he had only one goal: to keep getting stronger in the Otherworld and lead the Dragon Kingdom to become the world’s number one superpower!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The members of the Infinity Guild were stunned as they watched Zhang Yue’s departing figure.
“This guy… is too arrogant! He even dares to reject the Tian Family!”
“Damn! Is he some kind of celestial being who doesn’t care about worldly matters?”
This outcome was also somewhat unexpected for Infinity Phantom.
He immediately used Feixin to relay the news to the Tian Family.
Dragon Kingdom, Tianjing.
The Tian Family.
When the Tian Family patriarch heard that Zhang Yue had refused the betrothal gift, he was instantly furious: “That brat who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth dares to disregard my Tian Family!”
Beside him, Tian Xin’er, with her hair in a bun and wearing a black spaghetti strap dress, squatted next to the patriarch’s armchair and said, “Grandpa, it’s okay. Don’t be angry!”
“Grandpa’s not angry!” The patriarch looked at Tian Xin’er with heartache and said, “I’m just worried about my granddaughter being wronged!”
“Not at all!” Tian Xin’er said with a smile. “Grandpa, I’m not that fragile. How could I be upset over such a small matter!”
“If he had accepted, my expectations of him might have decreased.”
Tian Xin’er thought of Zhang Yue, and the fondness in her eyes deepened: “He was born from humble beginnings but dares to openly confront the top guild in Zhening Province, Infinity. He dares to reject things he doesn’t like and won’t bow to identity, status, or power. He loves and hates boldly.”
“This is the perfect true love in my heart!”
Hearing this, the patriarch smiled kindly: “Xin’er has grown up!”
Tian Xin’er held the patriarch’s arm and laughed, “In Grandpa’s eyes, Xin’er will always be a child!”
Beside them, Tian Yu crossed his arms and shook his head, sighing lightly, “Little brat~”
Tian Xin’er turned and glared at Tian Yu, pouting, “You’re the little brat!”
“The Beast Tamer you like, his strength is far above ours. Clearly, he values strength more. Maybe the best way to make him like you is to become stronger than him.”
Hearing this, Tian Xin’er thought for a moment and felt that Tian Yu made sense!
“Yes, I need to work hard to become as excellent as he is!”
Saying this, Tian Xin’er pulled Tian Yu to log in: “Brother Tian Yu, come level up with me!”
“I haven’t had breakfast yet!”
“Forget breakfast, leveling up is more important!”
“…”
