I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 124 Professional Tournament, Hong Ki-seok's Expectations

Jiang Chen made some preparations and planned to enter the outpost instance again, hoping to quickly gather everything Hong Shen needed.

This time, Lin Cai'er was smarter. She prepared food in her pocket in advance, so that she would have enough food even if she couldn't use the storage space.

Jiang Chen was really curious about how such a small person could fit so much food into their body.

Jiang Chen's skeletons behaved very loyally.

The skeleton warriors stand in front as meat shields, drawing the monsters' attacks, while the skeleton mages stand in the back, casting skills and spells.

Lin Cai'er chattered incessantly like a lark, sharing her observations, experiences, and interesting anecdotes. Jiang Chen listened intently, taking note of everything Lin Cai'er said.

After their intimate encounter, the relationship between the two seemed to have subtly changed, becoming even closer.

This was Jiang Chen's third time entering a dungeon of Hell difficulty, and he was already very familiar with it, able to advance with almost no effort.

This also speeds up the progression of dungeons.

Even though it was hellish difficulty, with the experience from the previous attempt, Jiang Chen found it very easy to defeat the monsters this time.

You don't need to rack your brains to think of strategies to deal with the enemy.

at the same time.

In the abyss, the eye burning with flames reappeared, its appearance causing the entire abyss to tremble and rumble.

It was filled with rage, wanting to find out what had happened in the Otherworld Battlefield, why so many Abyss Hounds had been instantly killed, and even the Dog Demon had perished. However, it seemed that an invisible force within the Otherworld Battlefield was preventing it from seeing what was happening.

"What's going on? Why is it so strange? Can't I check it?"

After a while, it closed its eyes again, acting as if nothing had happened.

Silence returned to the abyss, and darkness once again enveloped the land.

Shortly after it disappeared, human professionals appeared in the abyss.

"Was that the Flame Demon King just now?"

"That should be the case. It seems like it's the one that's on duty at the Abyss Entrance recently."

"This guy is extremely warlike and will definitely cause trouble for our human race. I hope everyone in the alien battlefield can stay safe and sound."

"Why think about these things? It's been so many years, it's not like it's been on duty for the first time, there won't be any major problems." "I've already reported what happened before, someone above will handle it, we don't need to worry about it."

These professionals exchanged a few words and then quickly dispersed.

None of them were below level 40; they were all advanced professionals.

They typically operate at the border between the Otherworld Battlefield and the Abyss Entrance.

They knew quite a bit about what had happened between the Abyss and the human race in the early years.

Now that they have gathered this intelligence, they need to relay it back to the higher-ups so they can understand and take appropriate countermeasures.

Despite potential disagreements and conflicts in normal times, humanity always manages to unite when fighting against the Abyss.

Only through such unity can humanity survive on the alien battlefield.

When facing other races, the human race always stands as a unified whole... At Shenlong University, Hong Jishi and Li Xueru sat together.

Li Xueru spends most of the year at Shenlong University, rarely leaving the place, and others have no idea what he is doing.

Li Xueru had been resting with his eyes closed for a long time, and hadn't spoken a word for almost half a day.

Hong Jishi did not disturb him and stayed by his side the whole time.

Suddenly, Li Xueru's eyelid twitched, and Hong Jishi immediately asked, "How is it?"

Li Xueru opened his eyes: "Pour me a cup of tea."

Hong Jishi immediately poured him tea, his attitude was very polite, and he even had a smile on his face: "Tell me quickly, how did it go?"

Li Xueru sipped his tea and said calmly, "I contacted the Hall of Heroes and the Demon-Slaying Tower and got news about Jiang Chen. He's fine and has even killed a lot of Abyss Demon Hounds. He's now a five-star private."

Hong Jishi was shocked: "So fast? It's only been two days, and he's already a five-star soldier?"

Li Xueru said, "The Flame Demon King is on duty at the entrance to the abyss and has sent many abyssal demon hounds to harass the alien battlefield. They just happened to run into Jiang Chen."

"He also killed an Abyss Hound Demon."

Hong Jishi took a deep breath: "Goodness, they even killed the Abyss Dog Demon."

Although the Dog Demon is the worst of the abyssal demons, at least it can fly and has many demonic hounds under its command.

They are indeed difficult to deal with for other professionals.

But they happened to run into Jiang Chen.

He happened to land on the ground and came to stand in front of Jiang Chen.

Under the slowing curse, he lost his chance to escape and was killed instantly by the skeleton warriors.

After learning that Jiang Chen was safe, Hong Jishi felt relieved and began to talk about other things. "How are the preparations for this year's Professional Player Tournament going?"

Li Xueru said, "Preparations are almost complete, and the news should be released in the next day or two."

Hong Ki-seok has been looking forward to it: "This competition should be very interesting; I'm quite looking forward to it."

The "interesting" thing he was referring to was naturally Jiang Chen.

"I never expected that they would end up together."

Li Xueru suddenly spoke, a look of amusement in his eyes.

Hong Jishi quickly asked again, "What did you see this time?"

"I've found Old Man Lin's nemesis..."

"This is hilarious. Old Man Lin is probably going to be furious."

After hearing Li Xueru's words, Hong Jishi slapped his thigh and laughed heartily.

"I never expected this, I really want to see Old Man Lin's face full of anger and helplessness."

In the Hell-level Outpost dungeon: "Defeat the Outpost Guardian, EXP +523687".

"Obtained Gold-tier weapon: Hell's Outpost Longsword"

"Obtained Gold-tier Armor: Hell's Outpost Leather Armor"

"Obtained Gold-tier Jewelry: Hell's Outpost Ring"

"Obtained 2 Dragon Cores"

"Hell's Outpost Longsword (one of the Outpost Sets): Gold-grade weapon, all attributes +500, Knight-type skills amplified by 50%, usable by level 30 and above"

"Hell's Outpost Leather Armor (One of the Outpost Sets): Gold-grade armor, all attributes +300, assassin-type skill cost reduced by 20%, usable at level 30 and above."

"Hell Outpost Ring (one of the Outpost Sets): Gold-grade jewelry, all attributes +100, fatigue recovery speed increased by 30%, usable by level 30 and above"

"Dragon Clan Crystal Core: An extremely rare material that can be used to make various items." Jiang Chen gave the leather armor and ring to Lin Cai'er.

Ring attributes cannot be stacked. This ring is the same as the one you obtained; having one is enough.

Leather armor is protective gear used by professions such as assassins and archers, so Jiang Chen doesn't need it.

He was shimmering with light; after completing this dungeon, his level had increased to 24.

Seeing Jiang Chen level up, Lin Cai'er was even happier than when he leveled up himself, her smile blooming as brightly as a flower.

"You leveled up again?"

"This leveling speed is too fast! It hasn't even been a month since you changed jobs, and you're already level 24."

"Other students are probably only in the 16 cohort now, you're way ahead of them."

Lin Cai'er sighed repeatedly. At this rate, Jiang Chen would probably be over level 30 in another month. Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Isn't it better to be faster?"

As he spoke, he donned a layer of skeletal armor for himself and then donned one for Lin Cai'er as well.

Lin Cai'er laughed: "So cautious, are you afraid of being attacked again outside?"

Jiang Chen said, "This has happened twice already."

He exited the instance twice, and both times he was suddenly attacked.

He wasn't afraid. With the threat of being framed, even with weak defenses, he wouldn't be injured in an instant.

But Lin Cai'er is different; if she is suddenly attacked, something bad could easily happen to her.

Two accidents in a row, it's best to be cautious.

"Better safe than sorry," was a saying that Jiang Chen's older sister, Jiang Ruo, often taught him when they were at home.
