Traveling through the game world

A terrible cataclysmic disaster destroyed Hutton Myre, the former economic center of Arad. This same cataclysmic event also caused Dark City, the capital of the Dark Elf Kingdom, buried deep underground, to rise from the depths and become the new economic center of the Arad continent.

As a native of Huttonmar, the former economic center of Arad and the capital of the Principality of Belmar, Arthur looked at the magnificent Dark City before him and felt a mix of emotions.

Seemingly sensing Arthur's complicated emotions, Alice casually said, "Don't think about it so much. The disaster is over, and Huttonmar will definitely be rebuilt."

Lian Yang also said, "Don't be fooled by Dark City's seemingly prosperous appearance; it's actually fraught with danger, and the monsters there are even more of a headache for the upper echelons of Dark City than those in the ruins of Huttonmar."

At this moment, Arthur was honestly feeling a bit unbalanced. Sensing what was on Arthur's mind, Lian Yang deliberately told him about the crisis in Dark City.

When someone complains that the world is unfair, just tell them that there's someone who's worse off than them. That's the contradiction in human nature.

Sure enough, Arthur shook his head and chuckled, "This place is quite different from Huttonmar before. This place is more like a huge city, while Huttonmar was more like a metropolis."

“That’s inevitable,” Lian Yang explained. “Huttonmar is, after all, a very old surface city, and the existence of city walls would seriously hinder its expansion. But Dark City is different. It was once buried deep underground, but the dark elves still remember the prosperity of the land world, so the city walls were built to be incredibly magnificent.”

With that, he easily made his way to Kelly's shop.

"Your equipment is pretty mediocre!" Kelly continued to try and persuade the clueless adventurer to upgrade his equipment.

"Hey, is my gear really that bad?" Alice joked, standing behind Kelly.

"That depends on how you look at it." Kelly stopped trying to solicit customers, turned around, and saw Alice and her group. In her heart, she thought, "The fat sheep have arrived!" She said aloud, "Your equipment is well-enhanced, but fundamentally it's still very basic."

"There's nothing we can do," Baron shrugged, saying helplessly, "It's because our level is low! We can't wear high-level equipment." Level is a real problem; this is something that can only be addressed gradually.

“That makes sense!” Kelly nodded in agreement and turned to Arthur, asking, “Is this handsome guy your new partner?”

Arthur nodded and said politely, "Arthur, Paladin, I joined the group some time ago."

"Joined?" Kelly was taken aback by the unfamiliar term, then chuckled, "That's quite accurate. You've really stumbled into a den of thieves. These people are ruthless when it comes to making money and robbing others."

Later, Kelly overheard many people mentioning Lian Yang and his group, and even learned about Lian Yang's money-making weapon, Remy's Kiss. ​​She immediately realized that perhaps she could never earn as much as Lian Yang by operating enhancement machines her entire life.

Lian Yang said arrogantly, "Robbing people is so tasteless. Look at how stable, efficient, and fast we are now. You've worked hard again today!" As he spoke, he took out four sets of equipment. Needless to say, they were all complete purple equipment.

Taking the equipment, Kelly said with a "I knew it" look, "I knew it! You guys coming as a group couldn't be anything good! I've worked so hard!" While saying this, her hands were quick; she upgraded all four sets of purple gear to +10, which was more than she earned in a month of hard work.

These four sets are all level 45 purple gear. They're spares for Lianyang, Baron, and Alice, and just the right amount for Arthur to wear. A full set of top-tier equipment provides a significant boost, especially since sometimes it's impossible to leave the adventure area for an extended period. Therefore, Lianyang needs to prepare the level 45 purple gear in advance.

After putting away the purple equipment, Lian Yang took out the spear that Hyde had given him to enhance.

When the magnificent spear, shimmering with a faint golden light, was handed to Kelly, her expression was one of utter astonishment, as if an egg could fit inside. She exclaimed, "An epic... an epic spear of level 85, the Azure Moon Token? This is a legend among legends, the ultimate aspiration of every magic spearman!"

It has to be said that Hyde, with his foul mouth and stubborn nature, has an incredibly high level of character; he even managed to get his hands on an 85-level epic spear. Lian Yang was also astonished when he saw the stats; this was the first epic piece of equipment he had ever seen on the Arad continent.

Making a shushing gesture, Lian Yang said softly, "This weapon belongs to someone else. I'm just helping them enhance it. Here, try to enhance it to level 15 today." As he said this, he took out a large handful of Divine Enhancement Protection Scrolls.

After accepting the enhanced protection scroll, Kelly suddenly asked, "Kid, I remember you were adventuring in the ruins of Huttonmar recently, right?"

"Yes, that's right," Lian Yang nodded.

Kelly asked mysteriously, "Whose gun is this?"

"Otherwise what? Lancers on this main road are practically rare animals. Who else but him could get an 85-level epic item?" In places like Dark City, there's still some taboo surrounding the Delos Empire, since its ambition to unify Arad is practically common knowledge.

Composing herself, Kelly said calmly, "Phew...you're pretty good, kid. That guy's notoriously tough and smelly, and you actually managed to handle him. But I'm still not very confident about +15 enhancement."

Although not as renowned as Barn, Agamemnon, or others, Hyde's strength is still considered top-tier in Arad. His stubborn temper and particularly foul mouth are known to almost everyone.

"Don't worry about strengthening it! I'm confident." How could he not be confident? Ever since he's been flush with cash, and then with Arthur joining the fray, Lian Yang has practically overflowing with enhancement protection scrolls. Even the smallest probability becomes almost a certainty when faced with a massive quantity.

Lian Yang didn't take it seriously, but Kelly was very concerned. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever enhanced such a high-level epic weapon. Even with the Divine Enhancement Protection Scroll, she was still quite nervous.

Soon, the Azure Moon Token had been enhanced to +10. After placing a Sacred Enhancement Protection Scroll, Kelly nervously turned on the enhancement machine.

"Buzz...buzz...buzz..." The roar of the enhancement machine accompanied Kelly's pounding heart, fearing that the enhancement would fail. The consequences would be quite serious.

"Clang...clang...clang..." Unfortunately, Kelly succeeded in getting 10 to 11 on her first try, despite her nervousness.

With a heavy heart, Kelly started the enhancement machine again. "Clang... clang... clang..." It succeeded once more, but the pressure on Kelly's heart only increased. She was truly afraid that the sacred enhancement protection scroll would fail to protect the epic equipment.

"Relax, I believe in you!" Lian Yang knew what Kelly was afraid of, but he wasn't afraid because he had unwavering faith in the power of hope.

"Click..." Finally, amidst Kelly's anxiety, the attempt to upgrade the Azure Moon Token from level 12 to 13 failed. However, seeing the Azure Moon Token still shining with a faint golden light, Kelly immediately felt relieved.

Since it won't break, why bother? Adjusting her mindset, Kelly put away the sacred enhancement protection scroll and started the enhancement again.

＋11、碎；11、12、13，碎；碎；11、12、13、14、碎……一次次的强化，最高也只不过是强化到14，但是此时凯丽却完全不着急。

After all, she still had a bunch of sacred enhancement protection scrolls in her hand. The more times she failed, the happier Kelly would be, because even if she failed, she would still have to pay the enhancement fee for Lianyang.

Finally, after Kelly had used up approximately 40 Holy Enhancement Protection Scrolls, and amidst a melodious tune, Hyde's Azure Moon Token was enhanced to level 15 by Kelly.

"Phew... This was so agonizing! At first, I was really afraid that the protection voucher would expire!" Kelly said with a relaxed expression, wiping the fine sweat from her brow.

"Don't worry," Lian Yang reassured Kelly. "With such a valuable weapon, how could I dare let you use it if I didn't have some skills?"

This Azure Moon Token is Hyde's strongest weapon. To be honest, if it were to be destroyed during its enhancement, Lian Yang wouldn't even be able to win Hyde over. Hyde isn't killing him out of respect for Agan Zuo.

After upgrading their equipment, Lian Yang and the others were about to leave when a tall dark elf suddenly appeared beside Kelly. Seeing the elf's familiar attire, Lian Yang stopped in his tracks.
