Meanwhile, at the training ground.
Xiaoyuer, with two dark circles under her eyes, looked like she was on the verge of tears.
Two consecutive nights of intense concentration
had left her sleepless, miserable, and resentful!
"Grandpa is gone! There have been a lot of things going on lately!"
Hearing the greeting from behind her,
Xiaoyuer gave an "oh" and flopped onto the desk!
Where the hell had that guy gone?
Early that morning,
after getting up, Lin Chen called Zhong Lili over to make breakfast.
As for his younger sister, Lin Jia, she could sleep two more hours before going to school. She no longer had to squeeze onto the subway like before!
Standing in the eight-hundred-square-meter villa,
Lin Chen felt as though even the air he breathed was faintly sweet!
Glancing toward the kitchen, he said,
"Lin Jia goes to school at eight-thirty in the morning and gets out at five-thirty in the afternoon. You need to prepare the ingredients ahead of time!"
"Yes, sir..." Zhong Lili, wearing an apron and sporting a high ponytail as she transformed into a little cook, nodded!
"Just call me Lin Chen," Lin Chen said with a nod. "Also, don't forget what I told you. If Lin Jia asks, don't let anything slip!"
For some reason,
Zhong Lili blushed every time she saw Lin Chen's handsome face!
She had even dreamed about him last night!
She shook her head slightly and continued cooking!
But just then, the sound of the door closing came from outside.
Only then did Zhong Lili realize that Lin Chen had already left home!
At six in the morning in Chuan City, the sun had already begun to brighten the sky.
As usual, the driver, Old Zhang, leaned against the car while eating breakfast.
Only after seeing Lin Chen arrive did he get into the car.
"Want one?"
Looking at the cigarette offered to him,
Lin Chen did not refuse.
Sometimes, when he was too tired, he would smoke one as well!
Cough, cough...
But after taking a puff, Lin Chen still felt it scratch his throat!
"Sorry, I usually only smoke Huazi. Other brands scratch my throat! Cough, cough..."
Old Zhang: "..."
Old Zhang glanced at his Hongtashan.
This kid was actually being picky!
"It's good enough that you have something to smoke. Where are you planning to go today?"
Hearing the question, Lin Chen did not answer.
He merely looked silently out the window.
Seeing this, Old Zhang did not ask further.
After several more Martial Artists got on, the bus set off for work!
The trip took half an hour.
At Lin Chen's speed, he could have made it there in five minutes!
Yet he still insisted on taking the bus!
Because Chuan City had an unspoken rule!
Only low-star Martial Artists took Bus 502 out of the city!
This plain and low-key method of travel
suited Lin Chen's needs quite well!
After all, it was better to be called weak than to have others discover he was an expert!
As he pondered this,
they arrived at the city gate!
Lin Chen still lined up, underwent inspection, and then left the city!
After Fourth-Level Demon Beasts and Fifth-Level Demon Beasts began appearing in the 0914 Danger Zone,
far fewer teams came here.
As a result, Lin Chen ran around for quite a while without seeing many people!
That big gorilla was gone too!
With no time to bother with it, Lin Chen shook his head slightly and continued onward!
After crossing a patch of grass,
an abandoned school came into view!
This was a gathering spot for Third-Level Demon Beasts!
Six-Eyed Demon Spiders!
Lin Chen, eager to test his blade, merely glanced at it
before plunging straight into the depths of the school!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As explosions rang out one after another,
Six-Eyed Demon Spiders scattered in every direction!
It was as if some great terror were chasing them from behind!
[ Ding! Killed Third-Level Demon Beasts x2, Qi-Blood Value +2! ] [ Ding! Killed Third-Level Demon Beasts x2, Qi-Blood Value +2! ] [ Ding! Killed Third-Level Demon Beasts x2, Qi-Blood Value +2! ] [ Ding! Killed Third-Level Demon Beasts x2, Qi-Blood Value +2! ]
Inside the abandoned school,
Lin Chen, clad in Alloy Battle Armor, charged straight in with his blade!
Everywhere he passed,
Six-Eyed Demon Spiders were severed at the waist like cabbages!
The sharp Demon Blade was invincible in his hand, like Death's scythe!
After slaughtering them all,
Lin Chen stopped.
He glanced at the Demon Blade in his hand, his eyes filled with astonishment!
When he had attacked just now,
he had not used any Combat Skills at all!
He had relied purely on physical strength to swing his blade and slaughter them!
Yet the Demon Blade's performance had been far too astonishing!
It made those Third-Level Demon Beasts no different from tofu beneath its edge!
What kind of treasure was this?
Lin Chen sucked in a sharp breath!
After glancing at the Demon Blade, he sped toward the next marked location!
There, the Third-Level Demon Beasts often had not even reacted
before they were already separated from their heads!
Inside the villa,
Lin Jia rubbed her eyes as she came downstairs.
She saw a table filled with a lavish breakfast.
Sister Lili was waiting nearby as well.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Lin Jia blushed and said,
"Sister Lili, you don't have to wait for me in the future..."
"I just finished cooking too," Zhong Lili said. "Hurry up and eat, Lin Jia!"
Lin Jia nodded and began eating.
Seeing this, Zhong Lili let out a sigh of relief.
Although she and Lin Jia got along pleasantly,
she still did not dare eat before the homeowner had taken a seat!
Only an idiot would do something so overstepping!
Thinking this,
Zhong Lili began eating as well.
But just then, Lin Jia suddenly asked,
"Sister Lili, what does my brother do at your company?"
The sudden question brought a trace of awkwardness to Zhong Lili's eyes!
She thought that if anyone else had been asked that by Lin Jia, they might already have given themselves away!
But Lin Chen had already briefed her and given her hush money.
So her standard answer was:
"President Lin's position at the company is confidential. Lin Jia, President Lin will be very busy in the future, so I'll be the one taking care of you most of the time..."
The innocent Lin Jia gave an "oh" and continued eating with her head down!
Seeing this, Zhong Lili breathed a sigh of relief again!
She wondered why Lin Chen insisted on hiding his identity as a Martial Artist. It was truly baffling!
Still, as an employee, she only needed to do her job properly!
If there were things she was not meant to know, she would not pry or gossip!
At noon in the 0914 Danger Zone,
the blazing sunlight shone upon the land!
[ Ding! Killed Third-Level Demon Beasts x15, Qi-Blood Value +15! ]
A blood-covered Lin Chen emerged from a cave!
His gaze cold, he looked around.
After confirming that it was safe, he changed into a fresh set of clothes!
The morning had passed.
Aside from the forty marked Third-Level Demon Beasts that he had cleared out,
he had also swept clean the packs of Third-Level Demon Beasts in this area!
There were 305 of them in total!
Including the Third-Level Demon Beasts he had hunted before,
there were 402 altogether!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen opened his panel:
[ Name: Lin Chen! ] [ Age: 18! ] [ Specialty: 18 cm! ] [ Realm: Three-Star Martial Artist! ] [ Qi-Blood Value: 1854/5000! ] [ Combat Skills: Mad Demon Slash! (Perfection) Gale Shadowstep! (Minor Mastery) Wrathful Vajra (Minor Mastery!) (Entry Level, Minor Mastery, major mastery, perfection!) ]
His Qi-Blood Value had surged from 1500 to 1854!
The gains from killing Third-Level Demon Beasts, including his added points, had doubled!
Lin Chen looked at it for a few moments before putting away the panel.
Burdened with a mortgage, he was not satisfied with this small number of Monsters!
He looked up toward the depths of the 0914 Danger Zone.
Then he rushed forward at top speed!
The instant he stepped inside,
an earth-shaking roar sounded from within!
Immediately afterward, a Fourth-Level Demon Beast, a Raging Demon Ape, leaped out...
