After the Awakening Bureau personnel left, Ling Yi shoved the sparrow onto Ziying's shoulder. "After dinner, I need your help with something!"
Ziying touched her belly, said "Oh," and her face was full of anticipation.
She only ate some noodles in the morning and skipped lunch, so she was starving by now.
Ling Yi knew this too, after all, there really wasn't any food left at home.
He, a transmigrator with special abilities, was so poor he couldn't even afford to eat. If other transmigrators knew this, they would probably laugh at him.
This is also the system's fault. Why call it the Low-Profile System"? Couldn't it be called the "Troublemaking System"?
For ten years, Ling Yi has tried to keep a low profile, speak less to people, and minimize his presence.
He alone controls Feng Town, but because he wants to keep a low profile, he doesn't dare to use any of the Feng Town's many resources.
Otherwise, why would things have come to this?
Putting everything else aside, just look at those vehicles left behind in Feng Town. Even if you sell them as scrap metal, they'd fetch a good price, let alone as secondhand goods!
Of course, blaming the system seems a bit unreasonable.
Ultimately, it comes down to Ling Yi's lack of a thorough understanding of the importance of keeping a low profile.
Simply put, how can you be low-key if you're not high-profile? If you're not awesome, what's the point of being low-key?
This is probably why Ling Yi only gets two or three points of Low-Profile Points per day.
Let's look at things now.
The news of Ling Yi's exceptional talent has already spread, and Ling Yi is about to confront the Church of Darkness. Isn't that a high-profile move?
But as a result, in just two days, Ling Yi's Low-Profile Points increased by more than 40 points.
It's ten times the original amount.
Therefore, Ling Yi's previous strategy of keeping a low profile was incredibly foolish.
Blame the system? What's there to blame? Pshaw!
That evening, Ling Yi cooked a big meal. He had earned 100,000 yuan that day, so naturally he wanted to celebrate.
Moreover, having two more Little Potato in the house makes it feel a bit more lively.
It won't be like before, when I would go home after school every day and be alone in my empty room, living a low-key life.
Is that being low-key? That's like a hermit monk, a Buddhist monk with only a lamp burning in his heart. In short, he dug his own grave.
Even if he tries to keep a low profile from now on, Ling Yi will still be seen as a coward.
There is a training ground on the third floor of the hotel.
At this moment, Ling Yi and Ziying were standing facing each other.
" Ling Yi, are you sure you want me to use my skills to attack you?" Ziying asked again.
"You've asked three times already, hurry up and make your move."
"However, the skills available now are all ultimate moves, they're extremely powerful."
"I have a priest's Healing Technique, and you might not be able to break through my defenses."
"I'm level 52, second job advancement, and you're only level 17, not even job advancement yet. How can I not break through your defense?"
"Come on, hurry up!"
"Alright, I'm going to make my move. First strike: a sudden, Sap!"
Ziying wasn't holding a rolling pin—oh, it was the God-Slaying Dagger —mainly because she was genuinely afraid of hurting Ling Yi.
Ling Yi has now switched to dual-perspective mode.
That is, his own normal perspective, and the sparrow's special effects perspective.
From a normal perspective, Ziying's petite body suddenly accelerated, running towards Ling Yi, then bypassing Ling Yi and arriving behind Ling Yi.
She raised her little fist, jumped up, and punched Ling Yi in the back of the head.
But from a special effects perspective.
After activating his skill, Ziying entered Invisibility mode and only reappeared when his fist struck Ling Yi on the back of the head.
Ling Yi scratched the back of his head, feeling nothing.
The fist was soft and weak, with no strength whatsoever; it didn't even qualify as a massage.
"Continue!" Ling Yi said.
Ziying asked, puzzled, "Why weren't you dizzy?"
The Sap skill at this moment is a control skill; it doesn't deal much damage, but it will definitely stun the target.
However, her Sap clearly did not cause any stun effect; instead, a "dodge" notification appeared above Ling Yi's head.
Sap is a guaranteed hit; how could it possibly be dodged?
This puzzled her greatly.
"Assassin's second skill, Continuous Stab, I rat-a-tat-tat..."
Ziying's small fists struck Ling Yi's stomach repeatedly with considerable speed, indicating that Ziying's physical abilities were better than Ling Yi had imagined.
An ordinary person couldn't throw a punch that fast.
With Ziying's current level and skill proficiency, he can unleash six consecutive thrusts in one second Continuous Stab skill.
The most powerful aspect of the Continuous Stab skill is that the final hit is always a critical Critical Hit.
However, from Ziying's perspective, all that appeared above Ling Yi's head was a series of "dodge" signals, which couldn't cause Ling Yi any harm at all.
Although Ziying has lost her memory, she has not lost her memories of her profession.
Ling Yi's situation was completely beyond her comprehension and incomprehensible to her.
"Continue!"
"Good!"
" Gale Thrust, Two-Stage Heavy Strike, Whirling Slash..."
Now it was Ling Yi's turn to be surprised.
Generally speaking, a professional can only have six skill slots, meaning they can master a maximum of six skills.
But Ziying actually used a total of eight skills.
How do you have eight skills?
" Gale Thrust and Whirling Slash are the equipment skills of the God-Slaying Dagger," Ziying explained.
Ling Yi suddenly realized, "So this rolling pin must be quite high-grade!"
However, the purpose of today's test has been achieved.
Just as he had guessed, the special effects of the professionals' skills were completely useless to him, or rather, the data-driven rules of this world were ineffective against him.
Perhaps this is the real reason why Ling Yi always felt that everyone else was sick and only he was normal.
"Are you going to grind monsters again tomorrow?" Ziying asked, sitting down on the sofa next to Ling Yi after taking a shower, her body still smelling sweet.
"Go!"
Upgrade, make money, why not?
Although upgrading wouldn't be of much use to Ling Yi, he still needed to earn money.
Moreover, Ling Yi found making money by killing monsters quite interesting.
"Can I come with you? I'm so Bored at home!"
"Can!"
"Real?"
"Get some rest. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning for the Eastern Suburb Swamp!"
The Eastern Suburb Swamp is the Map with the highest monster level among all the monster-farming Map around Dafeng City.
Among them is the level 40 Earth-Turning Mud Dragon, known for its defensive capabilities. Its hide is extremely valuable, with a complete Earth-Turning Mud Dragon hide worth millions.
Even so, there's no market for it.
This was the highest-rewarding quest that Ling Yi found on the Professional Guild's quest page on his way back; it was a quest that could be repeated infinitely.
However, this Earth-Turning Mud Dragon is too difficult to kill.
Not only is its defense high, but its attack power is also terrifying. Most importantly, this thing lives in groups.
Provoking one will provoke a whole bunch.
Killing the Earth-Turning Mud Dragon is difficult for others, but for Ling Yi, it's a piece of cake.
Because Ling Yi redeemed two more skills from the Low-Profile Points Shop.
Flash Step and Chain Lightning.
Flash Step is a movement skill that allows one to Teleportation quickly and easily within a confined space.
Unfortunately, speed is the weakness of the Earth-Turning Mud Dragon.
Chain Lightning is an area-of-effect skill, making it perfect for attacking groups of monsters.
Meanwhile, in the office of the director of the Dafeng City Awakening Bureau, Director Li was having a video call with senior officials.
"Let Ling Yi's matter take its natural course. If we act too deliberately towards such a powerful person, it might provoke their resentment."
In the video footage, an elderly man with Whitebeard head, squinting his eyes, speaks in a calm voice.
"But I'm worried he might join the Church of Darkness!"
"Hehe, no way!" the old man said confidently.
He paused, then added, "You can tell them about the Awakening Bureau's reward system. For example, killing a member of the Church of Darkness will earn you a reward."
"Some data came from the Professionals' Guild; it seems Ling Yi is really short of money!"
"Lack of money? How is that possible? For someone as powerful as him, making money would be incredibly easy, wouldn't it?"
"You are the main reason why I'm not worried about Ling Yi joining the Church of Darkness; he has his own bottom line and principles."
"Just as you said, if Ling Yi really wanted to make money through his abilities, it would be far too easy."
Director Li's eyes lit up. "I understand!"
"In addition, I will contact the Professional Academy and issue Ling Yi a letter of admission without examination!"
Will he go?
What if you go?
"However, the Professional Academy is facing significant problems. Many of the talented professionals it has cultivated over the years have joined the Church of Darkness."
"That's why we let Ling Yi go!" the old man chuckled.
Director Li was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed, "Old ginger is spicier!"
"I'll take that as a compliment!" the old man snorted, dissatisfied.
"What about Shadow Ziying!"
"I have Destruction all files related to this girl. As for her future choices, don't pay special attention to them, and don't take the initiative to contact her."
"This..."
" Ling Yi might need a Bond, so let's leave it at that!" The old man said, then ended the communication.
Early the next morning, Ling Yi took Little Potato and headed out of Feng Town.
Feng Town is located in the eastern suburbs, in the Eastern Suburb Swamp, about 120 kilometers to the east of Feng Town.
This time, Ling Yi decided to drive there.
During the Hell Demon Hound invasion of Feng Town a year ago, the residents evacuated in a very rushed manner.
Therefore, many cars remained in good condition.
Although Ling Yi had never used these cars, he had collected quite a few car Key over the past year.
More than a dozen car Key were found in the hotel where Ling Yi was staying.
Ling Yi is currently driving a modified Hummer.
This Hummer is wider and longer than a regular car, and its boxy shape makes it look like a tank.
Ling Yi drove, while Little Potato Ziying sat in the passenger seat.
Feng Town had long been turned into a restricted area by the Awakening Bureau.
After leaving Feng Town and getting onto the main road, we finally saw other cars.
There are too many professional players going out of town to grind monsters every day.
However, very few people come to the Eastern Suburb Swamp to grind monsters.
This is a high-level monster zone; even on the outer perimeter, the monsters are around level 20 or 30.
Generally, only those who have completed their first job advancement come here to grind monsters.
Hmm, it looks strange from a special effects perspective.
Ling Yi's modified Hummer immediately became the most eye-catching car on the road.
After passing several intersections, the number of cars on the road decreased.
Ling Yi's destination is the Western Suburbs Swamp, where he is Earth-Turning Mud Dragon that needs to venture deep into the Western Suburbs Swamp.
Other professions simply grind monsters on the periphery.
Killing the Earth-Turning Mud Dragon is too troublesome, and it's generally not necessary, so very few people bother to Earth-Turning Mud Dragon.
So, what exactly is Earth-Turning Mud Dragon?
