Great Western Sea World.
Boling City, Xite Empire.
An Lan wore a patched Priest robe, carried a huge sack on his back, and swaggered into the Imperial Bank branch with the gait of a man who recognized no kin.
He passed through the crowded throng and headed straight for a VIP service window that was still vacant.
In no time at all, An Lan slapped the sack onto the counter and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"One thousand one-pound Tier 3 Energy Ore! Exchange all of it for gold coins!"
In an instant.
Everyone's attention snapped toward him.
"Look at the foolish antics of that Tier 1 Priest. Did he hold an umbrella when the Goddess of Wisdom sent down rain? His stupidity is strangely enticing."
"Oh? Isn't that Priest An Lan from the North City Auxiliary Church?"
Someone in the crowd quickly recognized the identity of this fat sheep.
"Didn't he fail to even pay the nuns' wages? Where did he get so much Tier 3 Energy Ore?"
"No, is he really this bold? He dared flaunt his wealth without any backing?"
"Something's off. It's ten parts off, no, twelve parts off!"
"I don't care about all that. Hey, friend, let's take a step aside and talk..."
Quite a few people's eyes flickered as they quietly retreated toward the back.
An Lan had naturally expected this, but he did not care in the slightest. Instead, he felt himself getting almost high.
That was it!
Thrilling!
I'm just a tiny Tier 1 Priest, holding a huge fortune in my hands—a fat sheep so fat it couldn't possibly get any fatter!
Come slaughter me! The stronger they are, the more excited I get!
"Esteemed guest, after inspection, the one thousand pounds of Tier 3 Energy Ore are confirmed correct. They have been exchanged for one hundred thousand gold coins and deposited into your account. This is our bank's Class A Gold Card. Please keep it safe."
The counter clerk smiled brilliantly as she presented the gold savings card with both hands.
But An Lan did not take the card immediately. With a crooked smile, he grasped the clerk's fair little hand and said seriously, "Beautiful miss, has anyone ever told you that your hands are like priceless treasures left behind in this world by the gods? They make one unable to restrain oneself, unable to help wanting to touch them. The weather is so hot today—may I treat you to a cup of iced tea?"
The pretty clerk's little face immediately reddened. "Mr. An Lan, please conduct yourself with dignity. I still have work to do. But I'm off tomorrow. If you're truly sincere, I'll consider going on a date with you."
An Lan knew she was subtly warning him, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he pressed his advantage. "Beautiful miss, may I take that as you being concerned for me?"
"Caring for every VIP is my duty. I would advise you to seek the protection of the guard corps as soon as possible. It would be even better if you have confidence in your own abilities." The counter clerk politely pushed away his wandering hand.
"Fine, then it seems I can only invite you to dinner tomorrow. Could you tell me whether you can have cold drinks lately?" An Lan still did not forget his original intention.
The counter clerk nodded, blushing.
Understanding her meaning, An Lan gave a wicked smile. He did not linger any longer, turning to leave through the doors.
If nothing unexpected happened, at least ten second-tier experts should have already received the news and be rushing over.
But that was not enough!
His target was the third-tier commander of the Demon Spirit Hunter Group!
One hundred thousand gold coins might not matter to ordinary third-tier experts, but the Demon Spirit Commander, known for greed and cruelty, would definitely be tempted!
Since the city's defense forces made it inconvenient for you to act with all your might, I'll take the initiative and head for the outskirts!
At this moment, An Lan was no longer the wretched Priest who only hid in the back casting healing spells. He was going to be the warrior who started the raid!
Elsewhere.
Chen Yi had long since prepared an avatar possessing thirty percent of his strength.
At that moment, he was idly browsing through past missions in the public district channel.
Group 66 Help Mission: Group member 'Xuanyuan Qingtian' had transmigrated to the Age of Dharma's End and was about to be refined by an Evil Cultivator. This exceeded the capabilities of this group. Members from other capable groups were requested to lend assistance. Combat Power Requirement: Above 30,000; Mission Reward: 100,000 points, 3,000 group experience. Note: Mission completed.
Group 85 Help Mission: Group member 'Chicken-Flavored Rice Crust' had transmigrated into a Black Flood Dragon. Because its blood possessed aphrodisiac effects, it was currently imprisoned and being drained of blood. Its life was in critical danger. This exceeded the capabilities of this group. Members from other capable groups were requested to lend assistance. Combat Power Requirement: Above 130,000; Mission Reward: 200,000 points, 20,000 group experience. Note: Mission completed.
Group 6 Help Mission: Group member 'Must Believe in the Light' had transmigrated into a world currently undergoing a Dark Turmoil and was about to have his life essence extracted by a Great Cultivator with little lifespan remaining. This exceeded the capabilities of this group. Members from other capable groups were requested to lend assistance. Combat Power Requirement: Above 80 million; Mission Reward: 300 million points, 50 million group experience. Note: This mission timed out without anyone accepting it. Group member 'Must Believe in the Light' has died. Mission invalid.
"I originally thought the other chat groups were crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Turns out they don't even have a member with eighty million Combat Power?"
Chen Yi was rather surprised. He looked strangely at the two external avatars before him.
One was used to carry the chat group's main body, while the other was used to carry out missions. Both possessed thirty percent of the original body's power, and both displayed a Combat Power of nine hundred million.
And he could split off another forty-seven such external avatars, making forty-nine in total—perfectly corresponding to the first forty-nine bolts of Purple Firmament Divine Lightning from that damned Tribulation Transcendence.
As for the upgraded fiftieth bolt of Chaos Divine Lightning, there was truly nothing he could do about it.
An external avatar with thirty percent of his strength could not withstand the Chaos Divine Lightning. His original body could withstand it, but since he did not know how many bolts of Chaos Divine Lightning there would be, if he were held up and forced to expend a great deal of energy, then he truly would not be able to evade that cunning Tribulation Transcendence.
They had fought eighty-one times. Each time things looked bad, he had fled like a hare. Chen Yi knew full well that the Tribulation Transcendence, provoked for so long, would definitely not let him off!
Just as he was thinking, a notification sounded within the chat group.
Ding!
Group 108 Help Mission generated: Group member 'God of Light is Unemployed' carelessly exposed his wealth and attracted the covetous eyes of others. He is currently being surrounded and blocked, and his situation is dangerous. Capable group members are requested to lend assistance. Combat Power Requirement: Above 100,000. Mission Reward: 150,000 points, 20,000 group experience. Please consider whether to accept the mission within thirty seconds. Once the time limit expires, it will be uploaded directly to the public district for capable members of other groups to accept. Countdown: 30, 29, 28...
As the Group Leader, Chen Yi had higher priority. If he did not choose to abandon the mission within the first fifteen seconds, the other group members could not claim it.
God of Light is Unemployed: Ooooooh! Great Group Leader, come quickly! I'm surrounded by a bunch of burly men. Their eyes are glowing green when they look at me. So exciting, it feels so good...
The Runner-Up of the Cultivation World: No, bro, are you really this perverted?
A Sword Immortal with Clean Sleeves: My sword is straight, and so am I. But you, my friend, look like you might be a little bent?
The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me (Group Leader): Don't be afraid. I'm here. The chaos you have stirred up will be quelled by me!
The Group Leader accepted the mission. A spatial portal was about to open.
