"Now I have no way out, and neither does the Ru'ashe Country!"
Does Apu not know the consequences of using the giant mushroom? Of course he does, but he has no other choice now.
Taking a deep breath, Apu looked at Ling Yi and said, "If the Ru'ashe Country no longer exists, then there's no need for this world to exist."
This was the first time Apu had said these words to an outsider, and it also demonstrated his determination.
" Wu Bai to solve one country!" Ling Yi laughed.
" Wu Bai?" Apu frowned; that was far too expensive.
" Wu Bai, Ancient Country Currency!"
Apu was completely dumbfounded and asked incredulously, "Why?"
Why? I need to level up, I need reputation!
Since the cheat codes are already in place, and since you've chosen to be a mercenary, why not become the strongest mercenary?
Of course, the truth cannot be told, nor is much explanation necessary.
"There's no reason why!"
Ling Yi didn't say anything, but Apu couldn't help but imagine it. He couldn't help but think of the Ancient Country, and when he thought of the Ancient Country, he began to analyze the current international situation.
Soon, Apu had pieced together a general outline in his mind.
" The Ru'ashe Country and the Ancient Country will always be friends!" Apu said earnestly.
Ling Yi nodded, without saying anything more.
There are no true friends between nations.
In the Original World, the Northern Sickle did plenty of backstabbing, and they almost used the Giant Mushroom against our Ancient Country.
Friends? Give me a break!
Ling Yi believed that given the opportunity, this emperor would definitely not hesitate to cause trouble.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ling Yi's level was raised to level 25 through sheer force.
But levels and such don't matter; what matters is that Ling Yi unlocked two long-awaited feature modules.
Equipment functional modules.
Even without enabling this module, purchased equipment can still be worn, but the equipment will immediately become visible and appear as a physical item.
After all, we're doing a live stream, so wearing such flashy gear isn't appropriate!
However, once the equipment function module is enabled, equipment will only appear in the equipment slots and can be hidden directly, allowing for one-click equipment switching.
Another enabled feature is, of course, Automatic Combat, which goes without saying.
After acquiring the equipment slot, Ling Yi immediately purchased a Glory Set.
In addition, Ling Yi also made adjustments to the skill slots and item slots.
Skill slots: [ Invisibility ] [ Teleportation ] [ Clone ] [ Divine ] [ Ghost Shield ] [ Poisoning ]
Item Slots: [Large Sun Water x99] [Medium Red x999] [Large Blue x999] [Random] [Return to Town]
With Automatic Combat, Ling Yi no longer needs to set up Combat skills in the skill slots.
These skills can be ignored, but Ling Yi needs to be able to use them at any time.
Ling Yi has now activated five functional modules.
The Map, skill slots, item slots, equipment slots, and Automatic Combat.
With the added bonuses from the equipment, Ling Yi's total Battle Power reached 551 points.
In other words, Ling Yi's current Map radius and skill attack radius have both reached 55 kilometers.
In addition, Ling Yi's Reputation Points accumulated to over Wu Bai million in three days.
After deducting the expenses, there are now more than 3.7 million left.
It can be said that Ling Yi's strength underwent a dramatic Changes in just a few days.
Of course, none of this matters.
Whether or not he stirs up trouble is the most important thing, after all, Ling Yi's cheat code makes him basically invincible from the start.
Even if it's stronger, it's still just a matter of Changes some data.
However, the viewers in the live stream were somewhat confused.
They watched the entire three-day inauguration process of Apu, but the Combat scenes they had imagined did not materialize.
In fact, not a single gunshot was heard throughout the entire process, and there was not a single moment of chaos.
Now we'll see Ling Yi just become a background character for Apu.
Anyone with access to information knows exactly what happened in those three days.
Fifteen mercenary groups, including the Blackwater Mercenaries and the Death God Mercenary Corps, were expelled from the list.
Nearly five thousand enemies died in Mo City Mo City or on their way there.
Moreover, the ways they died were all pretty much the same: either struck by Lightning, by Huoyan, or by Ice Storm.
Being struck by lightning or engulfed by Huoyan can be somewhat explained, but how do you explain Ice Storm?
It's late summer/early autumn now, where did the Ice Storm come from?
Did Ling Yi make it?
Regardless of how Ling Yi Ling Yi it, he was just a background character from beginning to end, seemingly doing nothing at all!
However, all the viewers in the live stream watched as Ling Yi submitted the mercenary mission and it was deemed completed.
In other words, Ling Yi did indeed successfully protect Apu, accomplishing a task that seemed virtually impossible to everyone in the world.
According to rumors, the Blackwater Mercenary Corps had even planned out three strategic commanders at the time.
As a result, it never even had a chance to be used.
Some say that this was a backup plan secretly left by Apu, and that Ling Yi was not needed at all to eliminate all the enemies. Those Lightning, Huoyan, and Ice Storm were all secret weapons developed by Apu.
Ling Yi is just getting something for nothing; he's a complete slacker.
This view has also gained considerable support.
In the exclusive hotel prepared for the contestants by the "No Rules Qiusheng " program team in North Leaf Province Dafeng City Province.
At this moment, Ling Yi is receiving three strangers.
Ling Yi glanced at the ID card handed over by the square-faced middle-aged man at the head of the group, and then returned it.
The live stream camera has been turned off.
This is already the umpteenth time Ling Yi has turned off his camera during his live stream.
Unlike in the past, this time the production team turned off the cameras an hour in advance, and it was not specified how long they would be kept off.
All three were from a special department of the Ancient Country, and the middle-aged man in the lead was named Du Weiguo.
"I'm just a Hire, I won't join any official organization!" Ling Yi shook his head and said.
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will maintain a proper balance. I won't touch these countries online!"
Seeing that Ling Yi understood his meaning, Du Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Apu is no simple man. Ling Yi, you need to be careful," Du Weiguo reminded him.
Ling Yi nodded. "Yes, I know that."
After a pause, Du Weiguo tentatively asked, " Ling Yi, do you have any ideas about the Radiation Beast?"
" Radiation Beast?"
"Radiation!"
" Zhanpuneisi?" Ling Yi asked, a thought flashing through his mind.
Du Weiguo shook his head. "Not only that, but two weeks ago, a similar Radiation Beast was discovered near our territorial waters."
"Any losses?"
"No, it didn't. It only stayed for a moment and then disappeared, but that's not a good sign."
"According to our investigation, at least thirty Radiation Beast have been born in the waters near Zhanpuneisi, and these Radiation Beast rarely leave the Zhanpuneisi waters."
"The fact that Radiation Beast are now appearing in other places can only prove one thing: Radiation Beast numbers have reached saturation, and the waters near Zhanpuneisi are no longer sufficient to meet Radiation Beast food needs."
Ling Yi thought about the enormous body of the Radiation Beast and nodded.
The appetite of these creatures must be astonishing. Those Radiation Beast have probably already devoured all the other creatures in the waters near Zhanpuneisi.
"You may not know this, but the Radiation Beast not only possess powerful bodies and unimaginable defensive capabilities, but also extremely high Wisdom, in no way inferior to Wisdom of humans."
"If the Radiation Beast are allowed to continue developing, they could pose a significant threat to humanity."
"Didn't Zhanpuneisi do anything?" Ling Yi asked.
Du Weiguo scoffed, "You can't count on them at all. It's good enough if they don't cause trouble. Even now, they're still dumping water into the sea."
A murderous glint flashed in Ling Yi's eyes, then he sneered and said, "If any Radiation Beast appear, you can notify me!"
"Good!"
After seeing Du Weiguo and the others off, Ling Yi stroked his chin and pondered for a long time.
This Radiation Beast is probably not easy to deal with.
His current strength may still be a little lacking, but without having met him, everything is unknown.
But leveling up, gaining reputation, and increasing strength is ultimately the right thing to do.
What matters is reputation; whether you upgrade it or not is irrelevant.
Not high enough level to equip gear? Check out the Ignore Level Equipment Card!
Therefore, in the upcoming mercenary missions, Ling Yi will focus on farming Light of the Spirit as much as possible.
But before that, he needs to level up his Light of the Spirit skill.
Next, Ling Yi will face the battlefield, which is different from the mercenary group he encountered before.
Mercenaries are driven by self-interest, while soldiers are not.
To achieve battlefield control in a second, your current Light of the Spirit level is definitely not high enough.
With that in mind, Ling Yi dialed a special seventeen-digit number.
"Mr. Apu, we can begin!"
"Starting with Wusiji Country?"
"Whatever!"
Ten minutes later, a new mission with restrictions appeared on the mercenary website.
Task Name (Limited-Condition Task): Recapture the Wusiji.
Task difficulty: Nine stars!
Mission start date: September 11, 2035!
Number of participants: 1!
Limited to: Only Magic Mage can claim this!
Mission Description: Help the Ru'ashe Country reclaim the Wusiji region...
At this moment, Ling Yi had already turned on the camera, and the live stream was restarted.
He deliberately showed the details of the task to the viewers in the live stream.
After all, if he wants prestige, he can't afford to do things discreetly.
The viewers in the live stream went wild after reading the task description.
Seeing his reputation soaring, Ling Yi couldn't help but smile. He believed that this time, regardless of his level, he would definitely earn a significant amount of reputation.
Ling Yi accepted the task directly in front of the live stream viewers.
Then, Ling Yi opened the system interface.
Looking at the more than six million reputation points that had accumulated, Ling Yi decided to use them all to buy Skill Upgrade Talisman.
{ Skill Upgrade Talisman lv8: Usable for skills below lv20, 15000 reputation!} [Click to Buy]
{ Skill Upgrade Talisman lv9: Usable for skills below lv30, 50,000 reputation points!} [Click to Buy]
{ Skill Upgrade Talisman lv13: Usable for skills below lv70, 250,000 reputation!} [Click to Buy]
"Hehe!" Ling Yi looked at the Light of the Spirit, which had already reached level 69, and couldn't help but laugh.
The higher the level, the more Contract you can have, and after level 50, single-target skills become area-of-effect skills.
The level 69 Light of the Spirit consumes 10 mana points per cast, and the maximum number of units that can Contract is 15046.
The only problem is that it consumes a lot of mana. Even with equipment bonuses, he only has a little over three thousand mana.
That won't do!
It seems we need to add a feature module to make it work; it can't control the situation in one second, not even two.
