Chapter 124: The Opportunity to Break Through to S-grade, Landing on the Island!

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: The Opportunity to Break Through to S-grade, Landing on the Island!

Her cool eyes, veiled behind a thin gauze, stared directly at Lin Ji.

"Captain Lin, what do you mean by that?"

Granny Fu also furrowed her brow.

But soon, a gleam of sharpness flashed in the old woman’s cloudy eyes.

It seemed as if she had suddenly understood something. She raised her head to look at Lin Ji, her voice trembling slightly.

"Could it be... could this be the opportunity to break through to S-grade, or even a higher-level talent?"

Lin Ji looked at Granny Fu but did not answer immediately.

He always felt that if this old woman knew the exact method, she might truly do something extreme to enhance her strength.

However, judging by Granny Fu’s reaction, she had clearly already guessed it.

Beside them, Ye Xinglan also vaguely understood Lin Ji’s meaning.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.

Lin Ji nodded.

"To upgrade a talent, one can only absorb the Primordial Force of someone with the same type of talent or obtain it from certain items."

"But that method is too slow."

"Moreover, because the energy belongs to different individuals, it will naturally repel each other."

"But if the child is one’s own..."

Lin Ji paused.

"Then there would be no possibility of repulsion."

"Of course, this would certainly require some medium. Perhaps certain special talents could achieve it."

"I don’t know the specific means, but I can guess that this might be Gu Tianming’s ultimate goal."

Qin Yao, standing nearby, listened in a daze.

She had also been curious before about why Guild Leader Gu Tianming was so obsessed with making women pregnant.

In fact, Gu Tianming had even hinted at it to her, intentionally or unintentionally.

However, since Qin Yao was a core combatant on the ship, Gu Tianming had not pressured her too much.

After hearing Lin Ji’s explanation, Qin Yao’s eyes widened in shock.

"If that’s really the case, then that old bastard is truly despicable!"

Lin Ji shrugged helplessly.

"That man has always been a ruthless schemer."

"For him to do such things to elevate himself and to be the last one standing in this Survival Game is only to be expected."

At this point, Lin Ji turned to look at Qin Yao.

"Have you heard about these things from that S-grade female prophet in your guild?"

Qin Yao was taken aback for a moment.

But she quickly realized that Lin Ji was fishing for information.

However, she did not resist.

Qin Yao frowned.

"I don’t know much about it."

"But I suspect the Prophet probably knows, yet she turns a blind eye to it."

"No one knows what the Prophet is thinking, not even Gu Tianming."

Mentioning the Prophet of the Apocalypse Guild, not only Ye Xinglan but even Granny Fu perked up their ears.

Clearly, they were both very interested in this S-grade Prophet.

Lin Ji smiled.

"I’ve said all I need to say."

"I wonder if you all think this Intelligence I’ve deduced has any value?"

The look in Ye Xinglan’s eyes as she gazed at Lin Ji completely changed.

She gave him a thumbs-up.

"Captain Lin Ji ranking fifth truly means something."

"I underestimated you before."

Lin Ji also smiled.

"Guild Leader Ye’s schemes run even deeper."

"A woman, building up such a large guild."

"And that fatso earlier... I suspect you already knew she was a spy, didn’t you?"

Ye Xinglan’s smile stiffened slightly on her face.

Lin Ji continued speaking.

"She attacked me, and you guessed it, and tacitly approved."

"Even her leaking the coordinates to the Apocalypse Guild..."

Lin Ji stared into Ye Xinglan’s eyes.

"I suspect this was also something you permitted, right?"

"President Ye, what exactly is your purpose in letting the Apocalypse Guild members in?"

"Could it be that there’s something on this island that even our two sides can’t handle?"

Ye Xinglan first tried to evade.

"Captain Lin, you’re overthinking it, how could that be?"

"I’ve just been taking things one step at a time."

Lin Ji shook his head.

"Don’t forget my talent."

"Although the Insight effect is weaker against those with high talent, I can still judge through body language."

"All of this was your plan."

"I wonder what role you’ve arranged for me in your scheme?"

Lin Ji paused.

"But none of that matters."

"I just want to take what’s rightfully mine, then we go our separate ways."

Hearing Lin Ji speak so confidently, Ye Xinglan knew this wasn’t a bluff.

Lin Ji had truly seen through it.

This made Ye Xinglan look at Lin Ji with even greater surprise.

A few seconds later, Ye Xinglan let out a soft sigh.

She no longer denied it.

"Captain Lin is indeed impressive."

"But rest assured, I, Ye Xinglan, know my limits. What’s yours will not be short by a single bit."

Lin Ji nodded.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore."

"Let’s discuss the matter of landing on the island."

Ye Xinglan also composed her expression, returning to her previous calm.

"The Apocalypse Guild members are landing from the east."

"We’re currently on the west side, opposite their direction."

"I’ve already gone in to scout."

"Although the mineral resources on the west side aren’t as abundant as the east, there’s still plenty, enough for both our groups."

"However, there are many Level 4 Ore Monsters on the west side, and even a Level 5 Ore Monster King."

"In the center of the island, there’s even a Level 6 Overlord-class Monster."

Ye Xinglan looked at Lin Ji, her tone serious.

"So we must proceed with caution and try not to cause any major disturbances."

After listening, Lin Ji nodded.

He turned and pointed to a few people behind him.

"Qin Yao, Su Qingyue, Teacher Shen."

"The three of you, come with me onto the island."

Gu Yihan immediately stepped forward.

She looked at Lin Ji, her eyes filled with some confusion.

"Why aren’t you taking me?"

Lin Ji reached out and ruffled her hair.

"It won’t do if all the main combat strength leaves; someone needs to guard the home."

"You need to take good care of the rest of us."

He paused, lowering his voice slightly.

"And... I don’t want Gu Yixuan to see you."

"Otherwise, I might not be able to protect you."

Hearing Lin Ji’s words, Gu Yihan hesitated for a moment.

She looked into Lin Ji’s eyes and finally nodded firmly.

"I understand."

Lin Ji took out ten Level 3 Crystal Cores and one Level 4 Crystal Core from his pocket.

He stuffed them all into Gu Yihan’s hand.

"Keep the shield activated at all times."

"Wait for me to return."

Gu Yihan clenched the Crystal Cores tightly and nodded forcefully.

"Mhm."

Lin Ji said nothing more and turned to walk toward the ship’s side.

Qin Yao, Su Qingyue, and Shen Manyun followed behind him.

On Ye Xinglan’s side, she also selected a few female team members, preparing to set off together.

Gu Yihan stood on the deck, watching Lin Ji’s retreating figure.

She watched him and Qin Yao disembark, stepping onto the black sand beach on the western side of the island.

She watched their figures gradually disappear into the dense jungle, shimmering with a dark Red glow.

Even after they had vanished completely, Gu Yihan remained standing in place.

She tightened her grip on the Crystal Core in her hand.

The sea breeze swept over, carrying the scent of sulfur and some kind of mineral.

Gu Yihan took a deep breath, turned around, and headed toward the ship’s cabin.

Then, in a place where no one could see, she opened her Logbook of Navigation.

There, an unread message awaited, from: Captain Lin Ji!
