61 The Abyss Is Coming! Fondness System!
Lin Bei followed Elena into the Light Temple.
After passing through the dazzling hall and walking along the golden corridor to the end, he arrived at the backyard.
In the corner of the backyard was an elegant house. Elena pushed open the door and led Lin Bei into the house.
Whoosh—
Golden light spread out, and the scene in front of Lin Bei changed. He appeared in a sea of flowers.
“So it’s here!”
Lin Bei came back to his senses. Elena had brought him here before, but he did not expect this to be the interior space of an elegant hut.
“What’s your real name?”
Elena suddenly asked.
“Ah? Inner Peace.”
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment before answering subconsciously.
“That’s just the code name given by the world’s will when you descended into this world. What I’m asking is your name in your original world.”
Alina asked seriously.
“Well…”
Lin Bei was a little stunned and did not dare to speak.
These Extraordinary NPCs… felt a little strange.
Her intelligence level was completely the same as a real person. If you didn’t say that this was a game, no one would suspect that she wasn’t a real person.
“If you’re unwilling to say it, don’t force yourself.”
Alina shook her head. “Actually, it’s not important. I just think that since we can be considered master and disciple, in the future, there will be some things that we have to face together. Since you still don’t trust me, don’t force yourself. As for the rest, we’ll talk about it in the future.”
“However, you have to remember one thing. Don’t easily provoke other Extraordinary lifeforms.”
Alina’s expression turned solemn. “Extraordinary lifeforms… are existences that have transcended. Even the will of the world can’t easily kill them. Moreover, every Extraordinary lifeform has at least one type of transcendent power. With your Descended ones’ strength, even if everyone attacks together, you’ll have no chance of winning! Remember!”
“I understand!”
Lin Bei nodded.
Of course, he knew how powerful these Extraordinary NPCs were. In his previous life, there were people who did not believe that, but in the end, they were all crippled.
Among these people, there was no lack of top players.
Lin Bei knew his current strength. How could he easily provoke these extraordinary NPCs?
“Very good. In addition, I’ll tell you something else. In a month, the Abyss will descend. You might not know what this means, but I can tell you that this will be a disaster for everyone in the Heavenly Might Continent!”
Alina said solemnly, “So, I ask you for a favor. Save my sister Elena before the Abyss descends! Her strength… can weaken the devouring power of the Abyss. With her around, we have a chance of winning!”
“Abyss is descending? In a month?!”
Damn it, was there a mistake?!
Lin Bei cursed in his heart.
What was going on? Wasn’t it supposed to be half a year before the combination of servers?
Why had it been shortened to a month?
Abyss Descent was the main storyline mission of the servers that had been activated before the combination of servers in his previous life!
After the mission, the nine servers would fuse. Then, higher-level map areas would be unlocked. All the players would truly rise after the server combination!
Originally, according to Lin Bei’s memories, this happened half a year later.
But now, it was directly brought forward by five months!
This was a little troublesome.
If he was alone, he would not be afraid. However, the key was that he had the Azure Plume Guild behind him!
“I’m in trouble.”
Lin Bei frowned and fell into deep thought.
His mind raced as he thought about how to quickly increase the strength of the Azure Plume Guild players in a short month to the level of other server players.
However, after thinking about it, there was only one conclusion—impossible!
“Looks like I have to save Elena as soon as possible. Since Alina said that her sister’s power can weaken the power of the Abyss, there’s still hope!”
Lin Bei thought to himself and looked up at Alina. He nodded and said seriously, “Leave this to me. I’ll definitely do my best to save her!”
“Thank you!”
Elena smiled when she heard this. It was like ice and snow melting, and flowers blooming in spring.
Alina’s Fondness +20! Current Fondness: 21 (Average Acquaintance)
You have activated the NPC Fondness System. If you increase their Fondness, you might have an unexpected gain!
“Eh?”
Lin Bei was stunned. He had never heard of this Fondness system.
Moreover, did every NPC have these Fondness points?
Or… could it be that only Extraordinary NPCs had a Fondness system?
Your Fondness with Alina has increased to “Average Acquaintance”!
“This is an Avatar Talisman I refined myself. Although it’s only a tenth of my main body’s strength, if you encounter some unfriendly Extraordinary lifeforms, you can use it to block them.”
A golden light flashed in Elena’s hand, and a talisman covered in mysterious symbols appeared.
“Thank you!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly took the talisman and looked at its attributes. He was even more excited.
Alina’s Combat Clone Talisman: After using it, summon a combat clone of Alina. Its strength is one-tenth of the main body. Duration: 10 minutes.
“Good stuff!”
Lin Bei’s breathing was a little rapid as he thought to himself, “I wonder if the effect of my talent can affect the duration of the Clone Talisman. If it can… I’ll make a killing!”
Lin Bei suppressed the thought of using the Clone Talisman. He only had one Clone Talisman and it was a life-saving method. Unless it was necessary, he would not use it easily, let alone use it for experiments.
What if the talent effect was useless?
Wouldn’t he cry to death?
“I’d better keep it to save my life.”
Lin Bei thought to himself and put away the Clone Talisman.
With this and the Random Teleportation Scroll he had bought from Goblin Merchant Bobo, he was confident that he could escape even if he encountered an Extraordinary NPC.
“Alright, let’s not talk anymore. You only have a month. You have to increase your strength as soon as possible! Now, I’ll teach you all the Level 20 skills of the War God profession. There are a total of three. Watch carefully.”
“Three? Aren’t there two?”
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment. The previous professional trial mission had mentioned that after completing the trial, he could obtain two professional skills.
“Previously, I planned to teach you two, but now that the situation has changed and your talent has exceeded my expectations, I plan to teach you all three skills.”
Alina said, “We War Gods master Judgment, War, and Healing at the same time. What I’m good at is war. Of course, you can choose your direction of development according to your ability. If you’re strong enough, it’s not impossible to choose all of them! Of course, as your profession advances, the future path will become more and more difficult. You have to be prepared in advance! Now, I’ll teach you the Level 20 exclusive skills of the War God profession!”
Three extremely dense energy pillars of light rose from Elena’s body at the same time. Then, they quickly compressed into three dazzling crystals that floated in the air.
“Those are exclusive skill crystals. After you absorb them, you can use professional exclusive skills.”
Alina explained, “Remember, the War God can learn three exclusive skills every 10 levels. They represent Judgment, War, and Healing Power respective. As for what you choose, it’s up to you.”
“Alright, I’m going to the Abyss to investigate the Blood Demon Prison. I’ll leave the rest of the matter to you!”
Alina said in a deep voice, “If you encounter anything that can’t be resolved, you can come and find me. This is a direct audio rune. Keep it well!”
As she spoke, Alina took out a green rune and handed it to Lin Bei.
Lin Bei took the talisman and felt the world spin around him. In the next second, he appeared outside the elegant house.
As for Elena, she had long disappeared.
“She’s really swift and decisive… But that’s good too. If she’s talkative and cares about too many things, it’ll be uncomfortable.”
Lin Bei sighed and looked at the three exclusive skill crystals in his hand.
