Canglan City, outside the city gates.
Lin Yi found a concealed spot and landed.
All base cities in Great Xia were no-fly zones unless special permission was granted.
He had been too anxious earlier, taking off right in front of so many people.
Now he needed to enter the city and use the teleportation array to return to Jiangcheng.
He didn't want to stir up any trouble.
The moment Lin Yi touched down.
He saw two streaks of light, one red and one green, appear in the sky.
They flew into Canglan City at incredible speed.
Lin Yi: "..."
Damn! Why could they fly like that?
Up in the sky.
Qi Guoguang seemed to sense something.
He casually glanced downward.
Mana flowed in his eyes, and he quickly spotted Lin Yi hidden beneath the city gates.
Hmm?
Why did this person give him an oddly familiar feeling...
But for a moment, he just couldn't place it.
Soon, Qi Guoguang felt a slight shock.
He remembered.
The faint mana fluctuations radiating from that ordinary-looking, albeit handsome, young man below.
Were actually seventy or eighty percent similar to the mana imprint he had sensed at the scene in the Land of Silence!
Qi Guoguang slowed his flight.
Out of curiosity, he used an Identification Skill on the young man below.
Lin Yi's class and level appeared before him.
Qi Guoguang shook his head.
He must have been overthinking it.
A level 30 professional, not even at Second Turn, a mage though he was.
Could never cast a seventh-tier spell.
With that, Qi Guoguang didn't spare Lin Yi another glance and sped away again.
The gap in strength between Lin Yi and Qi Guoguang was still too vast—a complete suppression in level, stats, and everything else.
So even though Qi Guoguang had used Identification Skill on him, Lin Yi didn't notice.
Canglan City Professional Alliance meeting hall.
Thud!
Thud!
That was the sound of knees hitting the floor.
Chen Feng and Qi Guoguang looked at the crowd of Canglan City's high-ranking officials kneeling before them, endlessly expressing their gratitude, and didn't quite know what to say.
"President Hu, what are you doing?"
Chen Feng, as the one actually dispatched for crisis management this time, quickly helped up Hu Weizhen, the president of the Canglan City Professional Alliance.
Hu Weizhen was the same person who, after the Mutated Necromancer Knight appeared, had cursed out his deputy and immediately ordered the evacuation of civilians and a city-wide alert.
"I don't know how to thank you two. On behalf of the millions of people in Canglan, I kowtow to you in gratitude!"
With that, Hu Weizhen really tried to kowtow again.
To be honest, his gratitude at this moment was genuine.
The ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster was even more real.
Because this incident had been resolved so quickly, with no casualties and no economic losses.
And his handling of the situation had been textbook-perfect.
Barring any surprises, once these two big shots returned to Tianhai, his performance would likely earn him praise.
"President Hu, you've all misunderstood."
"Alas, Elder Qi and I rushed over nonstop at the fastest speed possible."
"But by the time we arrived, it was already over."
"That Mutated Necromancer Knight World BOSS was killed by some unknown expert."
Qi Guoguang hadn't spoken the whole time.
But his status was higher than Chen Feng's—a fact obvious to all the Azure City higher-ups present.
The fact that Qi Guoguang remained silent now only further confirmed that he tacitly agreed Chen Feng was telling the truth.
The reason Chen Feng was being honest was mainly that, at his level, he didn't really care about such trivial merits anymore.
Not to mention that Elder Qi, a true heavyweight, stood right beside him.
If he forcibly claimed the credit for himself, even though Elder Qi probably wouldn't expose him out of respect for his father's face, it would still indirectly create a debt of favor.
At their level, favors were the hardest debts to repay.
Hu Weizhen and the other Azure City higher-ups thought it over, and their CPUs were completely fried.
Huh?
So you didn't kill that BOSS?
Then who did?
How could their Canglan possibly have such an awesome expert!
On the other side.
Lin Yi showed his Student ID and entered Canglan City again.
As soon as he entered the city, he heard the loudspeakers broadcasting the alert cancellation notice.
At the same time, countless Military Professionals in full armor were beaming with joy.
As for the pedestrians on the streets, they were crying tears of joy, hugging each other.
No one had expected that Azure City, which had just been on the brink of disaster, would suddenly have its alert lifted, and they no longer needed to be evacuated.
Many professionals who had been too rushed to see their wives or children were reunited with their families, feeling that post-calamity relief.
It was the greatest happiness of their lives.
Lin Yi watched, a bit baffled.
What happened?
It had been less than half an hour—how had the whole atmosphere of Canglan gone from peaceful to this...
But that didn't stop him from heading straight to the Teleportation Hall.
Lin Yi pulled out his phone, having learned his lesson this time, and bought a ticket for the first-class teleportation hall.
Mission done, time to head back to Jiangcheng to turn it in.
Actually, Lin Yi had wanted to complete his job change in Canglan City, but when he passed by the Job Change Sanctuary, he noticed it had been used as some kind of air-raid shelter.
It was packed with ordinary people and a large number of professionals.
Chaotic and noisy—it would definitely take some time for normal functions to resume.
Lin Yi walked into the luxurious first-class teleportation hall, and the teleportation array lit up.
Then his figure vanished.
This teleportation experience was silky smooth.
The surrounding scenery was still bizarre and surreal.
But the intense, jarring spinning sensation was much reduced—that was why the others teleporting with him didn't react strongly either.
At least it wasn't like before, with the air reeking of vomit...
In less than half a minute.
Lin Yi felt his feet land on solid ground again.
The scenery shifted.
He was back in the familiar Jiangcheng Teleportation Hall.
Walking out of the Teleportation Hall, Lin Yi headed straight for the Job Change Sanctuary.
"Haah~"
Li Yiyi yawned.
She took off her glasses from the bridge of her nose and rubbed her tired, sore eyes.
Glancing at the clock on the hall wall.
It was already 11:30 in the morning.
Half an hour left until I could clock out.
Not only had I run into a handsome guy today and chatted him up a bit, but I'd also spent the whole morning slacking off—this shift was totally worth it!
Thinking just that, Li Yiyi put on her glasses, only to see that handsome face appear before her again.
"I'm here to turn in the quest," Lin Yi said bluntly.
Li Yiyi was dumbfounded.
Holy crap!
Handsome guy, didn't we just meet an hour and a half ago?
How did you finish it so fast?!
"Ah... ah! Okay!"
"Please follow me!"
Soon, Li Yiyi led Lin Yi into a room housing the Class Change Spirit Crystal.
Lin Yi approached the crystal and placed both hands on it.
A prompt echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Detected a completed class change quest. Submit?]
Lin Yi selected submit.
The next moment, a magic circle lit up beneath his feet, accompanied by a flash of white light.
[Congratulations! Class change successful!] [You have advanced to: Intermediate Mage (Second Turn)!] [You have acquired new skills: Ice Arrow, Mana Shield!] [Your Spirit attribute value and attribute point allocation gains have increased!]
