Ninety-Nine in One Night, Dugu Bo Reaches the Limit

MC World was dangerous, yes, dangerous.

But if you said it wasn't dangerous, that was also absolutely true.

Back when he hadn't transmigrated yet—

Wearing a full set of iron gear and speedrunning the Ender Dragon had been standard practice.

So, with the strength of Dugu Bo's group of three, plus the combination of iron gear and boats—

Gu Changge couldn't think of any way they could possibly get themselves killed.

"Alright, since you've arranged everything, let's go!"

Seeing that Gu Changge had already taken care of everything, Dugu Yan stopped dwelling on it.

Holding Gu Changge's hand, she skipped toward the Void Gate.

As she walked, she said, "This Monster Grinding Tower is truly incredible. It can actually increase Soul Power this way. We absolutely must keep this secret. If those people from Spirit Hall find out, we'll be in serious trouble!"

Those who didn't understand the value of the Monster Grinding Tower wouldn't care about it.

But anyone who understood its value would be unable to resist temptation.

If Spirit Hall learned about it, they wouldn't give up even if they had to stake everything on it.

Yet Gu Changge merely laughed. "Silly girl! So what if Spirit Hall finds out? The Monster Grinding Tower's efficiency is right there. In a few days, not to mention anyone else, even you, Yanzi, will level up to the point where Spirit Hall won't dare provoke you. So what if they know? Can they come take it? I'll give them one hand and let them try!"

Hearing Gu Changge's arrogant words, Dugu Yan was amused by her own concerns.

Iris Duke Mansion was brightly lit.

When Gu Changge led Dugu Yan into the main hall, the aroma of food was already wafting toward them.

Ye Lingling was carrying the last dish out of the kitchen. When she saw the two return, a gentle warmth appeared on her cool, delicate face.

"You're back. Wash your hands and eat."

She untied her apron, moving with the practiced ease of a young wife who had managed a household for years.

Gu Changge walked over and naturally pinched her cheek.

"Thanks for your hard work, Lingling."

Ye Lingling didn't dodge. Her ears merely reddened slightly as she softly said, "It wasn't hard. Go wash your hands."

Before long, after Gu Changge and Dugu Yan had washed their hands, the three sat down at the dining table.

"Ah!"

Dugu Yan sprawled across the table and opened her rosy little mouth toward Gu Changge.

Like a child, she was clearly asking him to feed her.

"Here you go!"

Gu Changge smilingly scraped her nose, then picked up a piece of Soul Beast Meat she liked and fed it to her.

"What do you think Grandpa and the others are thinking? The Monster Grinding Tower is right there—it's not going anywhere!"

While chewing the meat Gu Changge had fed her, Dugu Yan mumbled indistinctly, "Why are they so obsessed that they won't even sleep and want to grind monsters all night?"

Gu Changge smiled. "Killing a few monsters can genuinely increase your strength. Who wouldn't be tempted by something so good? In this situation, forget staying up all night—even if they were made to keep grinding there for an entire year, they probably wouldn't so much as furrow their brows!"

Ye Lingling also put down her chopsticks, somewhat worried. "But grinding through the night without even sleeping still feels a little too unreal! They never cultivated like this before!"

Gu Changge reached out and rubbed Ye Lingling's soft long hair.

Unreal?

It was supposed to feel unreal!

If I weren't a transmigrator, and if I hadn't brought MC World with me—

My entire worldview would have shattered too. I'd also think it was unreal.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. If they want to grind, let them grind. I won't close the Void Gate tonight. If they get tired and want to come back, they can return anytime!"

Hearing Gu Changge's words, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan smiled sweetly and stopped worrying about it.

After dinner, maids from the mansion came to clear away the dishes.

Gu Changge, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling then went to the Hot Spring Pool for a bath.

After the three played around and cuddled in the Hot Spring Pool for an hour—

They finally returned to the bedroom and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Holding two warm, soft bodies in his embrace, Gu Changge's mind gradually settled into peace.

The next morning.

Gu Changge opened the door, refreshed and energized, followed by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, both with rosy complexions.

After the three washed up and ate breakfast, they once again stepped through the Void Gate and arrived in MC World.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

The sounds of monsters falling still rang out in a steady rhythm.

But the sound of swords being swung had lessened somewhat.

Gu Changge and the other two looked toward the monster grinding area.

Ye Guanlan and Mu Qingyu had already stopped grinding monsters. They were sitting cross-legged some distance away, facing the rising sun with their eyes closed in meditation.

Meanwhile—

Beneath the tallest, seven-story Monster Grinding Tower, Dugu Bo was still the same as yesterday, wildly swinging his Stone Sword as though sparks were about to fly from it.

"Grandpa?"

Dugu Yan called out to him, her face full of disbelief.

She truly had not expected this.

An entire night had passed, yet her grandfather was still here grinding monsters.

Didn't he get tired? Didn't he get bored?

Dugu Bo stopped swinging his sword at her call and looked over.

Bzzzz!!!

In that instant, Gu Changge felt as if the air around them had frozen.

Was this... a domain?

It seemed the Old Man had gained quite a lot over the course of the night.

Seeing that it was his granddaughter along with Gu Changge and the others, the terrifying aura that had unconsciously leaked out when Dugu Bo turned around dispersed like drifting clouds.

Then, a slightly distorted smile, equal parts exhausted and exhilarated, appeared on his face.

"Yan Yan's here. Grandpa didn't scare you just now, did he?"

Dugu Bo put away his Stone Sword and walked over with concern on his face.

"I'm fine. It's just that when Grandpa turned around, you gave me quite a fright. But Changge blocked it for me, so it was okay!" Dugu Yan said with a smile, then added worriedly, "What was that just now? Grandpa, don't tell me you improved too much by grinding monsters and ended up suffering from cultivation deviation?"

"..."

Dugu Bo, who had just been worried about frightening his precious granddaughter, was instantly left a little speechless by her words.

"Grandpa just gained a little too much strength last night. As a result, my control over my Soul Power isn't as precise as it used to be."

"That was only a trace of aura leaking out unintentionally!"

Dugu Yan stared at him in shock. "That feeling just now was only a trace of aura Grandpa leaked by accident? Then what level are you now?"

"Not much."

At those words, the smile on Dugu Bo's face immediately blossomed. "I only barely reached level ninety-nine!"

"Only level ninety-nine? Then that really isn't much!"

After hearing that, Dugu Yan spoke before her brain could catch up.

But the moment the words left her mouth, she froze on the spot. "Wait? Grandpa, what level did you just say? Level ninety-nine???"
