Chapter 290 Even after a day's separation, one should look at a person with new eyes.
A smile slowly spread across Meng De's face, which was bruised and blue from the cold.
"No, no, no."
Mengde took three steps back, speaking as fast as a wound-up toy.
"Brother Chen, there's no need to rush. For the follow-up matters, just come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me."
"Meng will go ahead and go back to organize the materials."
After saying this, the dignified lord of Thousand Light City skipped even the polite farewell and turned to run away.
That speed was nothing like that of a middle-aged man who had stood on the city wall all night and whose face had become paralyzed from the cold wind.
Chen You watched as Meng De's flowing robes disappeared at the top of the city wall stairs, and remained silent for a moment.
Row.
They run really fast.
He withdrew his gaze, braced his hands on the crenellations of the city wall, and looked down at the gray wilderness outside Qianguang City.
Level 32, three levels below the level 35 requirement for accepting the quest.
It might not sound like much, but he knew all too well that the higher you went, the more terrifying the amount of experience required for each level became.
The experience bonus from the anniversary celebration should not be wasted.
Let's upgrade first.
As for that legendary quest, I'll do it while I'm on the way.
Chen You took a deep breath.
Just do it.
He leaped down from the city wall, summoned his snow-white giant rabbit mount, and galloped towards the Tomb of a Thousand Lights.
Having completed the three Destruction Mode runs, today's daily routine is done.
Chen You looked at the experience bar; he had passed level 33, but was still quite a distance from level 35.
Upon entering the Supreme Building, Chen You pushed open the familiar door and immediately saw Hill.
The exclusive customer service NPC of the Supreme Building was holding a cup of hot tea and wrapped in a blanket that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Hearing footsteps, Hill looked up abruptly.
Eyes facing each other.
Hill's expression changed instantly.
That expression was like that of a corporate slave who had just escaped from the 996 hell, thinking he was finally on vacation, only to look up and find his boss standing smiling at the door.
"Dear...VIP member," Hill's voice trembled slightly, "you are not...?"
She was about to say, "Weren't you supposed to be on that mission? Why are you back so soon?"
However, as a customer service representative, she changed the subject and said:
"What service do you need?"
Chen You walked over and patted Hill on the shoulder.
"Old buddy, have you had enough rest?"
Hill's lips moved, and her eyes reddened.
"The training room," Chen You chuckled, no longer teasing the other person, "Let's open another one."
Hill opened his mouth, and his face gradually brightened.
"...Yes, esteemed VIP member."
Practice room – Start.
Once I logged in, I was already scrolling through to the next day.
Aside from briefly clearing the event dungeon with the Moon Arrow trio in the middle.
My level has reached 34.
Chen You calculated his experience and practiced until almost noon before leaving the training room.
Just as he was about to leave the Supreme Tower, he suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Dear VIP member, is there anything else?" Hill asked, puzzled.
Chen You did not answer, but looked into the depths of the Supreme Tower.
It has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.
The main body had been cultivating in the training room, and finally broke through its cultivation level once again.
Chen You smiled at Hill, "I'll give you a magic trick of making someone disappear in a bit."
After saying that, he went out and left.
Then repeat the three destruction modes.
Not long after, Chen You walked out of the training room again.
This is the new clone, Chen You.
Level 35, Qi Refining Level 8!
Hill looked at Chen You, who had reappeared, and then glanced at the doorway.
So this is what "the great transformation" means?!
As a system NPC, she naturally knew about Chen You's abilities.
She immediately put on a professional smile: "Congratulations, VIP member, on mastering your divine skills. Reaching the pinnacle of the world is just around the corner."
"Is there anything else you need?"
Chen You walked to the counter.
"Let's have a prize draw."
A giant virtual turntable appeared in mid-air, its pointer spinning rapidly.
Having just acquired a Heavenly Rank item yesterday, Chen You had no expectations for today's drop rate.
The laws of conservation of probability also apply to source boundary systems.
The pointer slowly came to a stop, pointing to the white area.
[Ding! Item obtained: Torn Leather Pants (Rough)]
A pair of ripped shorts with a faint fragrance appeared on the counter.
Hill looked at the leather pants and breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the normal fortune of an adventurer.
She gave a perfectly timed expression of regret: "The stars seem a bit dim today, VIP members' luck isn't good, please don't be discouraged, come again tomorrow..."
Chen You curled his lip and swept the leather pants into his backpack with a wave of his hand.
"I'm gone."
He turned and walked towards the gate.
……
The midday sun shone brightly, casting its light on the city lord's spacious training ground.
Meng De was brandishing a dark gold longsword in the courtyard.
The blade's energy crisscrossed, cutting the bluestone slabs on the ground with crisscrossing marks.
He leaped into the air, his longsword drawing a crescent-shaped arc of cold light as it shattered a wooden stake in front of him.
Wood chips flew everywhere.
Mengde sheathed his sword and stood with his hands behind his back.
He tilted his head slightly, letting the sunlight shine on his face, his expression cold and aloof, his brows revealing an air of unparalleled arrogance.
The disheveled state he experienced last night, exposed to the cold wind on the city wall, had completely vanished. At this moment, his face clearly proclaimed, "I am terrifyingly strong."
A round of applause came from the courtyard gate.
Chen You walked into the training ground and clapped his hands perfunctorily twice.
"Excellent swordsmanship."
When Mengde turned around and saw Chen You, his heart skipped a beat.
"Brother Chen, you've arrived. The path of martial arts is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. We must be diligent every day in order to reach that supreme path."
Chen You stopped and went straight to the point: "Lord City Lord, can I accept a quest now?"
Mengde frowned slightly.
"Brother Chen," he said earnestly, his hands behind his back.
"I told you yesterday that the laws of the land where the gods fell are extremely distorted."
"Although you have the talent to fight beyond your level, the gap in your cultivation level cannot be bridged by mere enthusiasm."
"Young people, avoid being overly ambitious..."
He slowly turned his head, but the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.
His hands, which were behind his back, suddenly froze.
His eyes were fixed on Chen You, his face full of disbelief.
Yesterday, this person was level 32.
Overnight, he skipped three levels and directly reached the level 35 threshold?
Mengde swallowed hard, and the coldness and aloofness on his face instantly crumbled.
He strode up to Chen You, grabbed Chen You's hand, and squeezed it tightly, his expression almost exaggerated with excitement.
"Brother Chen! I knew it! I, Meng, have seen countless people, and the moment I saw you, I knew you had extraordinary talent, a once-in-a-million genius!"
His attitude changed so quickly it was almost instantaneous.
Chen You forcefully pulled his hand back.
"So, can I accept the mission now?"
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!" Meng De exclaimed, beaming, and turned to make a gesture of invitation.
"This weighty responsibility of saving the world—besides Brother Chen, there is no one else in the entire Thousand Light City who is capable of it! Let's go to the study to discuss this in detail!"
Upon hearing this, Chen You frowned slightly.
Why do I need to go to the study specifically?
Is this mission of such high importance?
