I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second - Chapter 457: Ten Thousand Silenced—Xia’s “Escort” Speedrunner
Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Ten Thousand Silenced—Xia’s “Escort” Speedrunner
An ordinary Sixth Transformation professional bringing a “flower vase” to find teammates, it was expected that things wouldn’t go smoothly.
Lin Yi shouted for half a day, not only did he not find any challengers willing to team up, but Xiyue’s stunning looks caught the attention of many lechers.
A dozen professionals at the peak of the Seventh Transformation expressed their willingness to take Xiyue through the dungeon for free.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, Lin Yi and Xiyue knew exactly what these guys were up to.
Fortunately, there were plenty of professionals at the dungeon entrance, otherwise, with Xiyue’s beauty, who knows what those drooling over her might do.
“Lin Yi, do you think we should just spend some money to settle this?”
“Ever since I joined the Xia Camp, the officials have given me quite a lot of resources.”
Lin Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the female War God in front of him.
Using the resources given from above to play the fool, that’s something Lin Yi would never do.
Anyway, there’s nothing pressing to do, so let’s just wait it out.
Time flew by, one group after another entered the Desert of Death, and as meal time approached, there were still only two in the group, making Lin Yi start to waver.
Xiyue’s suggestion seemed not entirely unacceptable.
If they revealed the strength of War God Xiyue, plenty of people would flock over.
Considering they’re on someone else’s turf, revealing identities would inevitably bring unnecessary trouble, so Lin Yi had to abandon this option.
Just as Lin Yi was planning to negotiate prices with some professional hitters, a clamor caught his attention.
“I say, buddy, it’s not that I’m looking down on you, but if you don’t have the conditions, just grind dungeons more.”
“If once doesn’t work, try ten times, if ten times don’t work, try a hundred times, you rookies are bound to meet someone worse than you!”
“Alright, stop wasting my time, scram.”
With a glance, the Eye of All-Seeing effortlessly deciphered the target’s information.
The boastful speaker was none other than Ahmed, a Priest at the initial stage of the Eighth Transformation from the Pyramid Country.
Four Sixth Transformation professionals from Batie Country invited him to be a hitter, but he thought their offer was too low and started mocking them mercilessly.
The harmonious relationship between Batie Country and Xia is well-known across Blue Star.
Lin Yi had recently forcefully invaded a dungeon in the Pyramid Country and attempted to destroy it.
Given this, it’s not surprising that professionals from the Pyramid Country wouldn’t treat their Batie counterparts, who are friendly with Xia, well.
Feeling somewhat responsible for the public humiliation of his Batie brothers, Lin Yi felt a bit guilty.
“Brother Ahmed, about the price…”
Captain Antu of the Batie team lowered his stance, opening negotiations to ensure his team cleared the dungeon.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi suddenly appeared and interrupted him.
“Iron Brothers, how about we team up?”
Seeing the friendly greeting from a brother country professional, Antu felt a surge of affection.
The next second, he very politely shook Lin Yi’s hand.
After exchanging pleasantries, Antu was very pleased to agree to enter the dungeon with Lin Yi and handle the issue of hiring paid hitters.
“Why pay for that weakling? I can take you through!”
Upon Lin Yi’s words, many professionals planning to enter the dungeon were intrigued, and the Batie team was left in shock.
A Sixth Transformation peaking professional calling an Eighth Transformation a weakling, impressive!
The so-called weakling Ahmed couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.
Thinking that in his forty years of life, no one had ever labeled him “weak,” Ahmed was enraged and immediately lashed out.
“As expected, across the whole Blue Star, only professionals from Xia are this arrogant.”
“A mere Sixth Transformation dares to be so presumptuous in front of me!”
“I was planning to help these country bumpkins after they increased the price, but you, Xia’s maniac, dare to insult me like this!”
“Henceforth, whenever you four attempt to clear a dungeon, I shall ensure to block you for free! If you must blame, blame…”
Ahmed’s bombastic words sank the spirits of the Batie team.
To have caught the eye of an Eighth Transformation expert, their chance of clearing the dungeon seemed bleak.
Before Ahmed could finish, Lin Yi retorted: acting like a woman, what a blabbermouth!
With just a few simple words, Ahmed turned red with anger, shouting at Lin Yi: ignorant Xia madman, don’t think you’ll go further into the Descent Abyss! If I let you through, you can call me your dad!
Seeing the escalating tensions, Antu quickly pulled Lin Yi aside.
“Xia brother, in a bit, we’ll go into the dungeon first, if he focuses on targeting us, you’ll have a chance, quickly hire some hitters and take advantage of the situation to clear the dungeon, we’ll distract this troublesome guy…”
Antu’s words tugged at both Lin Yi’s and Xiyue’s hearts.
Meeting by chance, and willing to go to such lengths for Lin Yi, for this alone, Lin Yi decided he must ensure the Iron Brothers’ victory!
In their conversation, Lin Yi took out an item and handed it to Antu, whispering something in his ear.
The next second, Antu’s eyes brightened.
“You… you are…. then this one must be?”
Antu looked at Xiyue with eyes full of joy and astonishment.
Lin Yi smiled and made a gesture to keep it quiet, stuffing Antu’s words back in his mouth.
“Don’t say it out loud, saying it ruins the fun. Let’s give him a surprise.”
Initially, only Lin Yi ignored Ahmed, but now the Batie team joined this stance, which Ahmed could no longer tolerate.
As Lin Yi’s six-person team was preparing to enter the dungeon, Ahmed, regardless of potential loss, spent a fortune to hire two additional Eighth Transformation professionals and three Seventh Transformation teammates.
His sole goal was to eliminate Lin Yi’s group inside the dungeon.
People from all countries inherently love a spectacle, so the dungeon’s participants at the scene watched eagerly, ensuring Ahmed’s party and Lin Yi’s party entered the dungeon successively.
“Sigh, those Batie bumpkins are really pitiful, risking their lives just to kiss up to Xia.”
“I think those three in Ahmed’s party are really lucky; with three Eighth Transformation bosses leading them, it’s a welfare run! The best part is, they didn’t even spend any resources…”
“….”
Such discussions echoed continuously.
But what no one expected was that before the other group of contenders could even enter the dungeon, the announcement of completion that shattered everyone’s worldview rang out.
[Dungeon Announcement]
[Congratulations to professionals Lin Yi, Xiyue, Antu… six members for successfully clearing the dungeon as escorts, and breaking the record for escort team completion time]
[Congratulations to these six for receiving exceptional rewards, epic title: Abyss Sprinter]
Hearing the dungeon completion prompt, the professionals who hadn’t entered the dungeon looked at each other.
Until they witnessed with their own eyes Lin Yi and his companions being teleported out moments after entering the Descent Abyss, they, albeit reluctant, accepted the truth of Lin Yi’s team clearing the dungeon.
Thousands of Blue Star professionals held their breath, watching Lin Yi and his team depart.
No one was there to see what happened in the dungeon.
But any professional with even a modicum of intelligence could deduce from the completion announcement what transpired inside.
Clearing the dungeon swiftly as escorts—this meant that within mere seconds of entering the dungeon, Lin Yi’s team had already taken down Ahmed and other experts!
All threats eliminated, the escort mission lost its purpose, and naturally, the dungeon was cleared.
The young man from Xia wasn’t exaggerating; Ahmed really was a weakling compared to him.
Wait, Lin Yi… Xiyue…
Their names, they are actually two of Xia’s most legendary figures!
