Traveling through the game world

Lian Yang and his companions had barely settled in at the City of Doom with the weakened goblin Maggie when the old goblin Sherlock, who had heard that Lian Yang had rescued Maggie, rushed over.

Looking at the weakened Maggie, Sherlock sobbed, "You're back! You're finally back! My only kin, my dearest friend Maggie! I'm so glad I'm not alone in this world!" Although Maggie was still unconscious, she wasn't in any immediate danger. Sherlock turned to Lian Yang, his face full of gratitude, and said, "I'm so glad you finally found Maggie. I even despaired, thinking I would be the only goblin left in the world! Although these gold coins are rather vulgar, they are the only two rewards I can give you, and the other is my sincere friendship!"

Lian Yang accepted the gold coins Sherlock offered without any hesitation, saying, "Helping others is also the purpose of our adventures, let alone a friend's request! You should take him back quickly; here are some potions. I suggest you wait until he stops running away in his madness before letting him fully recover."

Lian Yang's motive for saving Maggie was actually quite simple. Sherlock, after all, was a native of Huttonmar and an old friend of Albert and Paris. Frankly, the identity of an Imperial Knight was somewhat awkward in the City of Misfortune; while Paris, from a humble background, didn't mind, it didn't mean Albert, a prodigy, was indifferent. Saving Maggie and helping Sherlock would undoubtedly ease the slightly strained relationship between them.

Late at night, Lian Yang, who was lying alone in bed, looked at the stars outside the window and murmured to himself, "Phew... it seems like I've been in this world for almost two years now. Even though I know it might only be a fleeting moment on Earth, oh, my darling, I really miss you so much."

As Lian Yang thought about his girlfriend, he muttered to himself, "I can't tell if I'm grateful or sad right now. I'm sad that I was so useless and lazy, spending all my time playing games. It's been so hard for you to be with me for so many years. But feeling the powerful energy within me now, I'm also grateful to you, because without you, I wouldn't have strived so hard. Cultivating with my master isn't easy; it's my longing and love for you that gives me the motivation to persevere!"

Lying in bed, Lian Yang continued to think about his girlfriend, about their sweet past, and then he fell into a deep sleep...

The night was quiet, with the wind rustling through the leaves and the occasional chirping of insects. For Lianyang, who was missing his girlfriend, it was a rare night of relaxation.

As Lian Yang drifted into a deep sleep, a dark shadow seemed to rise outside his window, quietly... quietly drifting to his side.

This wasn't a shadow, but an assassin completely shrouded in black! The assassin silently drew his dagger, aiming it at Lian Yang's heart. It was a seemingly effortless, silent thrust, yet as swift as lightning.

"Ding!"... Lian Yang, who sensed the murderous aura in his sleep, grabbed the curse of Kazan, who was sleeping with him, without saying a word, and hastily blocked the assassin's attack.

Sleepiness vanished instantly in that moment. In the instant of parrying, he rolled away decisively from the bed, and only then did Lian Yang focus his gaze on the person who had come to assassinate him.

With dark skin, long ears, and a gleaming dagger gripped in one hand, shrouded in a black nightsuit, Lian Yang was certain that this was a dark elf assassin.

Having missed his first strike, the dark elf assassin clearly wanted to escape, and was about to leap out of the window. But... how could Lian Yang possibly let go of someone who wanted to assassinate him in the middle of the night?

"Bloodthirsty Demon-Sealing Slash!" With a soft shout, the left hand shot out, and the intense blood energy and sword energy violently reversed, generating a huge suction force that pulled the dark elf that had drifted out of the window back.

The assassin's bloodlust surged towards Lian Yang's left hand. As the light from Lian Yang's left hand grew brighter and brighter... finally!

"Ha!" With a flick of his left hand, he tossed the dark elf into the air, then gripped his sword with both hands and thrust it forward fiercely.

"Pfft!" The sword pierced right through the dark elf assassin. The dark elf coughed up a mouthful of blood.

However, although the dark elf assassin was severely wounded, she hadn't died despite such serious injuries! Lian Yang understood that this assassin must be of a very high level, at least level 45 or higher. Due to the influence of the laws, the immense level suppression allowed her to only suffer severe injuries despite what should have been a fatal blow.

Despite being severely injured, Lian Yang's attack finally gave the Dark Elf assassin a chance to strike. Enduring the excruciating pain in his abdomen, he roared, "Wild Wind Dance! Die!"

For a moment, the dagger in the dark elf assassin's hand seemed to have grown wings, flying up and down, making it impossible to tell where it would suddenly appear and deliver a fatal blow to Lian Yang.

But, it's uncertain where it will appear, isn't it? A cold smile crept across Lian Yang's lips as he shouted, "Rage Burst!" No matter where it appears, it will attack Lian Yang, but how long can such a powerful skill hold its charge? Lian Yang believed it wouldn't last longer than his Rage Burst.

As expected, the impatient assassin, carrying a fatal blow, crashed into Lian Yang's erupting rage. Just then, Lian Yang gripped his greatsword tightly, assuming a drawing stance. "Clang... Clang!" Two crisp sword sounds rang out, and then, under the moonlight, a silver arc of light flashed by.

"Ding! Level up! Host level has increased to level 30!"

The image of the dark elf assassin, who was poised to attack, suddenly froze at the moment he was about to stab Lian Yang with his sword... "Pfft!" Just then, the dark elf assassin's body seemed unable to withstand the blood pressure inside him and suddenly split in two.

The fierce fight had already attracted everyone's attention. Albert rushed over immediately and, looking at the scene on the ground, asked, "What happened? Why would a dark elf assassin come to kill you?"

Wiping his greatsword, Lian Yang chuckled helplessly, "During the daytime rescue of Maggie, I offended an imperial nobleman who colluded with the Black Hat Thieves, and then I was hired to kill him tonight. Quite efficient! By the way, Albert, you need to get me a different room. Also, let's go check on Baron and Alice first; I'm a little worried about them."

Upon hearing this, Albert was taken aback and teased, "Oh, our knight has actually offended an imperial noble? That's quite something." Hearing that Lian Yang dared to offend an imperial noble, and that Lian Yang had saved Sherlock's friend Maggie, Albert's enthusiasm for Lian Yang indeed increased.

Just then, Baron's voice came over: "Phew! I'm fine here. I rushed over when I heard fighting. That Reading-Shuman guy's revenge is really quick. I'm relieved to see you're alright."

Baron arrived quickly, and Alice was no slower. She stormed in fully armed, and seeing Lian Yang unharmed and the Dark Elf assassin's corpse lying on the ground, she smiled seductively and said, "I didn't expect you, Lian Yang, to be so efficient. You got this done so quickly. Being too fast isn't always a good thing for a man!"

"Ahem!" Being assassinated in the middle of the night was bad enough, but then Alice teased him too. Lian Yang rolled his eyes helplessly. "I'm telling you, Alice, be normal! Can't you see I'm trying to calm my frightened little heart?" As he spoke, he even made a gesture of covering his heart with his hands. This made everyone in the room burst into laughter.

A burst of laughter and joking finally dispelled the oppressive atmosphere of an assassination attempt. Lian Yang quickly said, "Alright, alright, everyone go back to sleep. Don't sleep too soundly tonight, be vigilant!"

"Received!" "Received!"

Seeing Baron and Alice leave, Albert called out, "Come on, let's get you a more comfortable room! Looks like my little inn is going to be bustling these next few days, I'll have to charge you extra! I heard old Sherlock gave you a large sum of money today."

After moving to a brand new room, Lian Yang lay on the bed and asked, "Hope, what has the level 30 system unlocked?"

Hope said, "The new system hasn't unlocked anything, but the shop has been updated with a lot of good stuff. Oh, and the sky decorations you've been wanting the most are also in this update. Here's the list, take a look for yourself."

Level 30 Shop Update

The daily limit for Lucky Boxes is 50.

Sky outfits are now available (created using the outfit synthesizer; you can specify any updated sky outfit from Earth, and choose a transparent appearance).

The Costume Synthesizer is now available (it can combine two pieces of equipment to create a new costume, with a certain chance of obtaining a Sky Costume).

The Shining Remy's Kiss is now available (2-second cooldown. Restores 30% HP, removes all status ailments, no level restriction).

The Sparkling Magic Juice is now available (Restores 30% MP, removes all abnormal statuses, and has no level restrictions).

The Shining World Globe is now available (Removes all abnormal statuses, no level restrictions. Grants immunity to all abnormal statuses for 10 seconds.)

Lian Yang didn't have high expectations for the mediocre updates, and couldn't help but say, "Phew... it seems that apart from allowing me to make more money, the perfect updates to the shop aren't very appealing." The so-called "making more money" naturally refers to selling medicine... this has always been Lian Yang's main method of making money.

Hope casually said, "Level 30 isn't a very important level, so how could there be a major update? But isn't the Sky Outfit something you've always wanted?"

Lian Yang said, "It's alright. The Sky Set looks cool, but it's a bit too flashy. If word got out, people would think I'm an opera singer."

"Haha..." Hope laughed, "Now that you mention it, it's really true. A perfectly good set of sky-themed outfit can only be used as a special set of equipment. It's really frustrating."

Lian Yang helplessly pulled the blanket over his head and said, "It's not bad to be able to wear level 40 purple gear, and I can finally use this Agamemnon longsword! One shouldn't be too greedy, time to sleep!"
