In the end, Lin Xuan still joined the team. Well, it wasn’t voluntary, but it was half-forced.
Three minutes later, his watch received a flash message saying that he was allowed to join them. Oddly enough, there was no indication as to who it was.
Was he being followed?
Looking at the message, Lin Xuan knew that it was definitely from the principal. Additionally, the moment he declined the invitation of the two, the message immediately popped up.
Lin Xuan was a bit excited and a bit nervous. After the message disappeared, he immediately asked what he would benefit from it. From the reply, it seemed that he would receive two dragon blood fruits from accepting this team formation.
After a secret deal was made, it was Lin Xuan’s time to shine.
“Add me to your team.”
“Ah… Are you sure?”
The traitor was very willing, but he still had to refuse in order to prevent Lin Xuan from getting suspicious.
“Ha, I’m just a guardian! I’ll try my best!”
Lin Xuan’s expression was a little condescending, a little unwilling, and a little angry.
“Don’t worry. Guardians are super powerful. Besides, you’re from a top school, aren’t you? You should be really strong!”
The traitor student comforted Lin Xuan as his eyes flashed with a smug look that could see through everything!
Under Lin Xuan’s dejected expression, his eyes also flashed with a smug look.
These two were sure that they were out playing each other. The two of them each had their own ulterior motives. They agreed to set off for the mission tomorrow morning.
In the bar, the old man looked at them with a smile. “The people of Chongshou are getting more and more powerful. They’re even reaching out to those students as well. That old useless man…”
His tone was a little self-deprecating, but the shadow in the dark beside him was excited. The last time he said that was when a student was assassinated by a foreign force.
Then, the darkness around him surged, and the old man disappeared on the spot.
After parting ways, Lin Xuan and the traitor naturally did not go to sleep or rest. After knowing that he had become bait and might be involved in a fight at the earth rank level, it was necessary to get some life-saving items!
Therefore, the moment he left the bar, Lin Xuan went straight to the card shop in the town outside.
Although Diyi Town was only a small town, it was still considered a front-line battlefield no matter what. Everyone knew that in times of war, firearms were very profitable, and on this battlefield, cards were considered a type of firearm. The card shop wasn’t big, but there were many types of items.
“Let me introduce you to the life-saving set!”
The boss’s eyes lit up when customers came in. He knew that they were going to a dangerous place the moment he heard about the news. People would take whatever they can get to save their lives! It was time to make big bucks!
“Dear customer, the shop has a few types of life-saving sets. Please wait a moment, I’ll bring them to you.
“This set will allow you to instantly sense danger and escape from danger. The cards can be replaced, and the effect is more than a hundred times stronger. Of course, so is the price…
“The second set will allow you to safely return home when you are in a desperate situation, whether you are on the moon or in a different space-time, you can go home with one click!”
Lin Xuan nodded. When entering an unexplored dungeon, he would occasionally run into a dungeon and enter a different dimension. If he followed the original route, he could return, but sometimes he might get lost.
“The third set is amazing. It is something hunters often use in the wild. If you encounter a monster of several levels higher, you can escape into a low-tier dungeon to hide.”
If it was a yellow-tier dungeon, no monster could break his defense. and high-tier monsters could not enter unless they forcefully lower their ranks. When that happens, even the former earth-rank demon kings would have to accept the instant death judgment!
“I want this one!”
This was the one that stopped the boss from getting another life-saving set.
Oh… Because this set isn’t very popular, I just took it out to tell you what it had. I do have it here, but it’s not complete. I only have a dungeon lock card and a shelter card. Why don’t you change to another set? This set is also very powerful…”
“It’s fine. Then I’ll just take those two cards. I’ll borrow the immortal body and high-speed healing from my classmate.”
Lin Xuan revealed his watch and the owner instantly understood. “Okay, okay. You’ll get a twenty percent discount from me then!”
These two cards were not cheap. Dungeon lock cards and shelter cards were considered rare cards.
With these cards, Lin Xuan felt a little more at ease, but he still felt that it was not enough. After thinking about it, he walked to the equipment shop on the side. Previously, he did not rely on much equipment because his body was strong enough. However, now that he was facing a mystic rank monster that suppressed his rank, his own strength might not be enough. He needed to strengthen his body a little more.
A gold silk shirt that improved defense by five points. An alloy inner armor that improved defense by 10 points. Silk soft armor that improved defense by five points. Heavy iron mystic armor that improved defense by 20 points.
Naturally, Lin Xuan did not have any money. However, the two sisters did. After a call, Lin Xuan successfully borrowed a large sum of money. Then, he directly put on these four pieces of defense armor and adjusted them a little. Thankfully, it did not hinder Lin Xuan’s movements at all.
After preparing everything, Lin Xuan went back to sleep in high spirits. He was just waiting for tomorrow to see what kind of tricks that little punk could play. With his current defense, even a peak mystic rank monster would probably be somewhat helpless.
