After unloading on the perky-bottomed assassin and seeing nothing but “MISS,” and being unable to see the opponent’s base information upon entering combat, how could Zi Liyuan dare to stay and fight?
Another scroll was torn, a faint blue radiance instantly enveloped his entire body, merged into the space in the next moment, and whisked Zi Liyuan away from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already ten kilometers away. “Thanks to the Lucky Goddess for gifting me the power of wishes coming true! This Random Teleportation Scroll took me straight to the vicinity of the newbie monster zone, way too cool!”
He glanced at the nearby training teams, all new job changers, with levels reaching Level 11 to Level 12.
Casually tossing away the used Random Teleportation Scroll, Zi Liyuan sped towards the newbie monster zone.
The Random Teleportation Scroll truly was a divine artifact for escaping in the wild; aside from places with spatial lockdowns, it could be used anywhere, even if it cost a million a piece, a bit too expensive for ordinary folk to afford.
But was Zi Liyuan just an ordinary person? A mere million Dragon Coins were just a drop in the bucket.
During his last hasty sweep through the auction house, Zi Liyuan had prepared five of these items, precisely for unexpected situations that required a quick getaway.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they were somewhat expensive, he would have wanted to buy a few more to use as fixed point travel scrolls, as one of these could teleport him up to ten kilometers away.
As he ran, he summoned a clay Stone Demon and a group of Skeleton Behemoths, not stopping for a moment, and if anything, picking up speed in his strategic retreat.
Having hit nothing but “MISS” with his attacks just now, not to mention failing to obtain any information on the perky-bottomed assassin, could only mean one thing: the assassin was at least one job change and twenty levels higher than Zi Liyuan.
Who knew if an assassin of the second job change or higher had the means to instantly cover ten kilometers and continue the pursuit?
“I’ve only left the city twice and I’ve already caught the attention of some power. Wasn’t I supposed to have a lot of luckwith the Lucky Goddess? How did I suddenly run into bad luck?”
Cursing under his breath, Zi Liyuan, who had just been grateful to the Lucky
Goddess, turned disloyal in an instant.
However, he increased his speed once again and noticed that the density of new job changers ahead was growing, with levels starting to drop to around Level 9 to Level 10.
Clearly, he had entered the newbie monster zone, and with that, a bit of his unease settled.
The newbie monster zone was a training area specifically opened up for new job changers from the annual Awakening Day to the start of the College Entrance Exam period.
In this area, city defense force squads patrolled to maintain order and ensure the safety of the newcomers.
Running here, one hardly had to worry about attacks from those evil powers. The tails that had been following Zi Liyuan were left speechless at this moment. They had covertly tracked him and, seeing that this genius had no bodyguards or escorts, judged him to be a civilian job changer and thus had followed along. They hadn’t expected that this guy would just casually pull out protective shield scrolls and Teleportation Scrolls. These items were not cheap; the former was a Level 70 third-job-change lifesaving tool priced at ten million Dragon Coins in the official store, the latter a universal escape tool, priced at a million each.
No ordinary civilian could afford such expensive lifesaving tools! “Damn it, this slippery little brat, I need to find out which family he belongs to. We must have the organization look into this properly.
Looking at the scattered skeleton pieces and chunks of dirt on the ground, the perky-bottomed assassin’s face turned ashen.
As a Level 50 second-job-change Shadow Assassin, attacking a Level 24 first- job-change Necromancer and still managing to screw up was embarrassingly humiliating, enough to become a laughingstock among peers.
Feeling resentful, he checked the assassin’s tracking mark and seeing that the target was getting further and further away, nearly exceeding the maximum distance of the tracking mark. The assassin cursed under his breath with a livid face and then turned to walk toward the mines in the Goblin camp.
He wanted to know what that little brat had been up to in the mines. Others with similar thoughts were not limited to this perky-bottomed assassin. When they reached the grand hall in the mines, they were as shocked as if they’d seen a ghost and quickly ran back, using their respective special communication methods to contact their backing organizations.
Zi Liyuan naturally didn’t know that some of those following his trail had gone down to the mine to check things out, gathered some intelligence, and had contacted their organizations behind them.
At this moment, Zi Liyuan had returned once again to White Crane Academy’s Altar Square.
The grand square now bustled more than ever before, with countless students setting up stalls and hawking their wares; some had even constructed a small platform to openly conduct auctions.
“The next item up for auction is a Skill Book specifically designed for Dark and Death-based professions – ‘Dark Eye Vision.’ Those interested should make a move early, with the starting bid at 10,000 Dragon Coins-.” Originally, Zi Liyuan didn’t plan to join in the buzz, but when he suddenly heard something that intrigued him, he quickly made his way over.
Dark Eye Vision (Green): Uses dark energy to explore material information, capable of detecting hidden units. The stronger the Spirit, the wider and more detailed the detection range. Required professions: Dark series or Death series practitioners.
The Skill Book’s introduction was quite vague, but detection abilities were essential for every practitioner, and such specialized detection abilities were often much stronger than the general-purpose ones.
In just a short while, the bidding had reached 30,000 Dragon Coins, and the price was still rising rapidly.
“100,000.”
Zi Liyuan squeezed into the front row and directly raised the price significantly.
“110,000.”
A middle-aged man looking like a merchant glanced indifferently at Zi Liyuan and began to bid up the price.
During the seven days from Awakening Day to the entrance exams, it was the time when new practitioners frequented instances the most, so many lucky ones would obtain a lot of good things, naturally attracting many merchants.
Almost all good items were essentially snapped up by these merchants and then sold at high prices to those noble families.
“150,000.”
For Zi Liyuan, making money wasn’t difficult at all, especially since his account still had tens of millions lying in it.
“Such a good item, I want it-fatso bids 200,000!”
Not far behind Zi Liyuan, a deep voice rang out, and a big fat man with a smile on his face squeezed forward.
“Ge Erpang, are you trying to break the rules and cause trouble on purpose?” The middle-aged merchant’s face turned grim, and he asked coldly.
“Where would that be, Master Chen? In an auction, the highest bidder wins, surely we can’t let these young students suffer a loss, can we?”
Ge Erpang still wore a smile like a breath of spring, except for a hint of mockery that flickered in his eyes.
“Hmph, you fat death, breaking the rules-the Ge family might not be able to protect you, 210,000!”
Master Chen’s expression grew colder as he raised the bid once more. At this momen, Zi Liyuan, watching the two quarrel, also flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Detection Skill Books, generic types normally ranged between 10,000 to 100,000, while exclusive types were between 150,000 to 200,000. Now, as both men vied for ‘Dark Eye Vision1, the price had already exceeded this range, clearly indicating they weren’t showing their true limits yet. Therefore, this exclusive Skill Book must be a high-value item!
