Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 25 That makes things easier.

After putting away Frosty Tide, Ling Chuan reopened his alchemy skill. Since the medicines he created automatically would have their recipes learned by default, he no longer needed to refine them one by one. So, Ling Chuan simply threw the remaining Purple Copper Flower, Black Tide Moss, and Yin Cold Berry into the material bar in a 2:5:3 ratio and clicked "Refine All".

[Ding] System notification: Successfully crafted [Frosty Tide]*89, failed*10.

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on your promotion to Level 2 Pharmacist.

The bell rang, the backpack slumped, and the 89 Frost Tide weapons were piled together in two stacks. It had failed 10 times unexpectedly, but it was still enough to handle the upcoming plans.

After closing the alchemy interface, Ling Chuan returned to the route to the beginner village. At this moment, he was single-minded and his journey home was as swift as an arrow.

……

At the entrance to the beginner village, Ling Chuan, who had just returned, headed straight for Ron. After their first encounter, the gun guard Rand did not stop him this time, but his gaze towards Ling Chuan still carried a slight hint of wariness.

Ron, however, remained enthusiastic, greeting Ling Chuan with a smile, "It's great to see you back safely."

Ling Chuan returned a sincere smile, took out eight silver coins, and discreetly placed them into Ron's hand, saying, "Thanks to Captain Ron, we have had a very fruitful harvest this time. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

[Ding] System notification: You have received the approval of [Captain Ron]. Under Ron's instruction, the area of ​​the wilderness protected by Ron will be increased by 100% with Ron as the center. Current protection range: 80 meters (originally 40 meters).

Ron's eyes gleamed, and his smile widened as he accepted Ling Chuan's "gift." He humbly replied, "Ha, what good fortune could I possibly have? Your safe return is a testament to your strength. I can foresee that your future will be bright."

The second successful purchase requires 8 silver coins instead of 5, while the third purchase requires 11 coins, increasing the protection range from 80 to 160; the fourth requires 16 coins, with a protection range of 320; and the fifth requires 18 coins, with a protection range of 640.

Following this logic, for Ron to extend the protective circle to the area where the West Village Silver Boss is located, it would need to be at least 8000 meters. Reaching 8000 meters would require nine expansions. The game currency awarded for these nine expansions follows no pattern: 5, 8, 11, 16, 18, 23, 25, 29, and 34, totaling 1 gold coin and 69 silver coins. He didn't know the designer's background in creating this sequence of numbers; he only knew that if any step involved an error in the awarded amount, he would have to start from zero again after paying a heavy price. This was why Ling Chuan called it a self-torture-style strategy. The reason this special mission was set to be so absurd was probably because its rewards were almost like cheating.

"Then I'll accept your kind words, Captain."

After bowing in thanks, Ling Chuan turned and ran into the village. There was no need to ask about the meeting point anymore, as Yi Han had sent the location information five minutes earlier. Now, Ling Chuan only needed to go to the agreed location.

……

Outside the weapon shop in Xicun, players were surrounded by five or six layers of players. Amidst their encirclement, a male and a female player dressed in beginner gear were being blocked by a fully armed squad of five.

The squad leader, holding a black iron staff, looked on with a mixture of amazement and greed. His four teammates behind him were also speechless with astonishment. The reason for this was none other than the two female players who were newbies—no, they should be called angel sisters.

Exquisitely beautiful faces, snow-white long hair, six wings folded back, even the simple beginner's robe couldn't conceal their flawless and perfect figures. Indeed, these two newlyweds surrounded were none other than Yi Han and Ling Feixue, who were waiting for Ling Chuan.

The five-person team was also familiar; it was the team led by Tang Dacai, who was ranked second on the leaderboard.

"What are you doing?"

Holding a wooden cane, her eyebrows furrowed, Ling Feixue questioned in a cold voice.

Yi Han stood firmly in front of Ling Feixue, as steady as an iron tower. This was a safe zone, and there was no possibility of conflict.

Tang Da Caizi suppressed the greed in his eyes. It was a coincidence, really. They had just returned to town to replenish their potions and happened to pass by a weapon shop. He was thinking of buying a level four white-grade weapon for his team's swordsman, Gu Yue, when, unexpectedly, he encountered Ling Feixue at the corner of the shop. She was a woman like a goddess. Based on his experience with countless beauties, even if her appearance was maxed out during character creation, she would still be an absolute beauty in real life, not to mention the holy aura of her hidden race, the Seraphim! He had to win her over! He absolutely had to win her over! And then, he had to conquer her!!
With this thought in mind, he slowly extended his hand and said warmly, "Beautiful lady, my name is Tang Hao. I mean no harm, but simply wish to invite you to join our proud and prosperous Tang Dynasty. Would you be willing?"

"Tang Hao? The peerless Tang Dynasty?"

Almost all the players around were from W City. Upon hearing Tang Hao's name, they knew that Tang Da Cai Zi was a well-known real estate tycoon in the city, the third son of the Tang family's CEO. He wasn't particularly capable, but his spending was legendary; he was considered a notorious playboy in the city. As for Ao Shi Sheng Tang, they could barely squeeze into the third-rate ranks of Holy Domain III. Their members were basically won over through benefits—the so-called "buying their way in"—which is why Ao Shi Sheng Tang had little real strength but a very high reputation. Seeing Tang Hao entangled with Ling Fei Xue, most of the players already understood that Tang Hao had taken a liking to her. Realizing this, the surrounding players all cast pitying glances at Yi Han.

Ling Feixue and Yi Han were both veteran Saint-level players, so they naturally knew what kind of person Tang Hao was. The former showed disgust in her eyes, while the latter firmly refused, "Sorry, we have no intention of joining the organization at the moment. Please step aside, thank you."

Tang Hao didn't even glance at Yi Han, still staring at Ling Feixue, and said in what he thought was a gentlemanly manner, "Miss, are you really not going to consider it? Although we are not a top-tier power, as long as you come, I will take care of everything in the future."

Tang Hao didn't say everything here, but the hidden meaning behind it is obvious that he had ulterior motives!
"you!"

Ling Feixue wasn't stupid; how could she not understand the implication? Just as she was about to speak, a soft but abrupt applause drifted out from the crowd.

Tang Hao frowned and glanced toward the source of the sound. However, what he saw immediately darkened his expression.

In his line of sight, a handsome figure walked straight toward him. The densely packed players in front of him were like cotton wool, bouncing aside at the slightest touch. So at first glance, it seemed as if the players had involuntarily made way for him, exuding an aura of domineering power.

Even more importantly, the name this player bears is—Past Life and Present Life!
"It's you!" Tang Hao said through gritted teeth.

Ling Chuan was surprised. "Oh? You know me? That makes things easier. Get lost."

With a casual remark, Ling Chuan completely disregarded the atmosphere and deliberately walked through the middle of Tang Hao's team in front of all the players. Tian Ling and Gu Yue, who were indignant, jumped out and stood side by side in front of Ling Chuan. However, Ling Chuan seemed not to see them at all. He took a step forward, and with a loud bang, Tian Ling and Gu Yue were blown away!
