In the end, Jiang Fei and Han Tianyu agreed to follow the price given by the military. Jiang Fei would give the potions to Han Tianyu discreetly, and Han Tianyu would pay Jiang Fei the money. After that, Jiang Fei could rest easy. No one, other than Han Tianyu and Chen Kaiyin that would know of Jiang Fei’s existence!
Jiang Fei did some quick counting. At one thousand dollars per bottle, a thousand stacks of Health Points Potions was 30 million in cash. Then, he should be able to buy enough diamonds to level up the ring!
One thousand stacks of Medium Health Points Potions in the game was 10,000 gold coins. This amount was nothing but a wave of his hammer, but he did not intend to give all the potions to Han Tianyu immediately. It would be difficult to explain how he had managed to amass such a large number of potions so quickly.
In the evening, Jiang Fei returned home. Due to the gag order, Jiang Fei’s parents knew nothing about him being taken away by the armed helicopter. It suited Jiang Fei just fine. After dinner, Jiang Fei laid on his bed and replayed the events of the day in his mind.
His potion secret had been exposed to another person. He had made some dealings with some very powerful individuals, but, Jiang Fei did not regret it. As a patriotic young man, he was happy to contribute to the country!
Moreover, he was making a fortune off these potions. If he was ever at a loss of how to spend the money, he could always feed his stupid ring!
At eleven o’clock sharp, Jiang Fei logged into the game once again.
A few white lights flashed. One after another, Jiang Fei and his party members appeared in one of the Hatcheries that had already been cleared the previous day!
“Everyone’s here!” Jiang Fei said hello to everyone.
“F*cking hell, brother Fei, are you okay?” When Zhao Feng saw Jiang Fei, he immediately rushed over to Jiang Fei’s side. To be honest, when Jiang Fei was taken away by a group of men in black today, Zhao Feng had been really worried. If anything, he had only logged in today to ensure that Jiang Fei was fine!
“Hehe, I left my phone in school, or I would’ve called you!” Jiang Fei shook his head and smiled. He was touched to see that people still cared for him.
“Hey! You’re not dead!” When Sun Mengmeng saw that Jiang Fei was safe and sound, she was delighted, but she still forced a scowl on her face. After all, Jiang Fei had shoved her aside, despite her best intentions. Sun Mengmeng decided to be angry at Jiang Fei for at least ten minutes!
“Grandaunt, you really dare to stand up against anyone! Do you really think that those brawny men are as easy to bully as we are?” Jiang Fei could not help but tremble beneath her gaze. If Aaron and the others really did something to her, she might end up with broken bones!
“Who were those people?” Sun Mengmeng asked curiously. Zhao Feng remained silent. He already had an idea of what had happened.
“None of your business…” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes and said no more.
“Pfft! Who cares!” Sun Mengmeng glared at Jiang Fei angrily, then deliberately turned around and ignored him.
“Ah Fei, what are you guys talking about?” Rosette Rose and the others came up to the bunch, their faces quizzical.
“Nothing much, just some school stuff!” Jiang Fei laughed.
“Oh! Let’s move on!” Rosette Rose nodded. The shrewd businesswoman she was, she knew something was off, but since Jiang Fei was not in the sharing mood, she did not want to push it.
“Haha! Another Hatchery!” After yesterday’s battle, the girls were basically immune to the nasty sights in the Hatchery. This did not mean that they were thrilled either. But a Hatchery still meant a whole lot of Experience and a bottle of Blood of Evolution per person!
Three hours later, Jiang Fei and the others cleared up three Hatcheries. In addition to the two they cleared yesterday, Jiang Fei had already drunk five bottles of Blood of Evolution. It was at that moment when Jiang Fei slapped his thigh in anger.
“F*ck no! I messed up!” Jiang Fei roared.
“Brother Fei, what happened?” Zhao Feng asked. The other girls also stopped and turned to Jiang Fei.
“Nothing!” Jiang Fei shook his head. His heart was full of regrets. The Blood of Evolution merely added each of all his gaming character’s attributes by one point, but if brought into the real world, one could only imagine.
Naturally, he had allowed the moment to carry him and ended up drinking all five bottles. Moreover, who knows if there were any more Hatcheries up ahead?!
Luck was still on his side. One Hatchery came after another. Clearly, these ruins were completely occupied by mutants!
“Ding! Congratulations Player Verdure Glider for reaching Level 24! All Attributes +1! Gained 5 Undistributed Attribute Points!”
After clearing another two Hatcheries, Jiang Fei leveled up again. However, he stowed away the additional two bottles.
“Wow! Big brother Ah Fei, you’ve moved up the rankings!” Rosette Miaomiao said.
At this time, Jiang Fei’s ranking on the Level Ranking Board had reached the second spot, pushing down Billy Boy to third!
He was not the only one to climb up at that alarming rate. At that moment, half of the places on the Level Ranking Board had been occupied by the girls in Jiang Fei party! Other than Sun Mengmeng who was still Level 21, everyone else was around Level 22 or 23. If only the Level Ranking Board was a little longer — his entire party might be there.
The party continued to advance forward as golden pillars of light flashed through the girls one after another. They started levelling up once within an hour. Even if the Unknown Dungeon ended there and then, they had already earned their share of rewards from it!
“Ding! Congratulations Player Verdure Glider for reaching Level 25! All Attributes +1! Gained 5 Undistributed Attribute Points!”
After swinging his way through eight more Hatcheries, Jiang Fei reached Level 25, while the girls were mostly at Level 24. Sun Mengmeng was already Level 23 and more than halfway to Level 24!
The overall Level Rankings of Dawnlight City went through an enormous change. Happy Drunk — always at the top of the rankings had dropped to the bottom, while the others had been booted altogether. Jiang Fei’s party had claimed the entire Ranking board as their own.
“F*ck this shit! What a ruthless bunch!”
“That makes no sense! Must be some sort of crazy exploit!”
“Shameless assholes. Share us the secret already, would you?!”
The world was full of ridiculous folk. They either grew furiously jealous as others found happiness, or were downright schadenfreudes. Here, they were crying foul as others soared up the ranking boards.
Others had started bombarding Jiang Fei with private messages, demanding that he revealed the secrets.
The public rabble aside, even members from the four major guilds were profoundly regretting their decision to stay put.
It was for their own good that they had not attempted the dungeon. They would not gain any levels from such an attempt. If anything, they would only die, lose equipment and levels. What could an average Tank do against four Advanced Elite monsters and twenty or thirty normal Elite monsters at the same time? Don’t even get me started on the Evolved Mutant. Even Jiang Fei was barely able to outlast it. Anyone else would be utterly destroyed!
