Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

When Lin Yu came out of the instance again, the lobby at the instance entrance was empty, and Xia Yue was nowhere to be seen.

If she stayed there, she would discover that Lin Yu and his two companions could complete a level 20 dungeon in just over four minutes.

Previously, the Dawn Squad took an average of more than 10 minutes to run this dungeon.

Their efficiency is more than twice that of theirs.

Knowing this will likely make her regret it even more.

However, Lin Yu didn't care about any of that.

The stronger her team becomes, the more regretful Xia Yue will feel.

There will be plenty of opportunities to appreciate it in the future.

He glanced at the time; it was 8:35 p.m., still relatively early.

"We'll continue upgrading," he said to Lin Xue and Lin Ya.

Lin Xue nodded and gripped her longsword tightly.

Lin Ya jumped up excitedly: "Great! I'm going to blast those ugly skeletons to pieces!"

The three entered the "Black Cemetery" again.

The process of playing the game has become an "assembly line".

Lin Xue pulls the monsters, while Lin Ya stacks buffs.

Lin Ya finished up, and Lin Yu packed up the spoils.

The tactics are simple and straightforward, except that the numbers are slightly higher.

The dungeon is cleared in 4 minutes and 13 seconds.

Exit and re-enter.

4 minutes 12 seconds.

4 minutes 14 seconds.

......

Time passed with each successful completion of the dungeon.

At 12:30 a.m., when Lin Yu logged out of the dungeon again, he glanced at the levels of the three people.

Lin Yu: Class of 22.

Lin Xue: Level 21.

Lin Ya: Level 20.

"That's enough for today," he said.

Lin Xue and Lin Ya immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"Let's rest here for a while, then go get some late-night snacks." Lin Yu walked to a bench in the lobby and sat down, rubbing her slightly sore calves.

Although most of the work was handed over to the two young people, Lin Xue and Lin Ya.

He didn't do anything.

But after walking non-stop all day, I was still a bit tired.

They have been playing the game for more than 6 hours since they finished eating hot pot in the afternoon.

Excluding rest breaks, and assuming a total of 6 hours, I completed 85 dungeon runs.

Lin Yu quickly calculated the ticket price in her mind: 1600 yuan each time, 85 times would cost 136,000 yuan.

This is all real cash.

If you don't have enough cash, you can only go back and forth to the trading center to sell equipment for money, which is much less efficient than farming dungeons.

Choosing to recycle directly is more efficient, but it will result in a loss of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Fortunately, during this time, Lin Yu sold two more waist bags, as well as a lot of equipment and materials.

The bank account balance has exceeded one million.

Of course, after running the dungeon for so long, the rewards are huge.

The two versatile waist pouches were stuffed full of dropped materials and equipment.

Several hundred materials and 85 pieces of level 20 common equipment, with a total value of approximately 20.

After deducting ticket prices and consignment fees, they can make a profit of 6 yuan.

More importantly, all three of them leveled up.

Lin Yu opened his attribute panel and looked at the changes brought about by the upgrade.

[Exclusive skills of "Alchemy Saint"]

Transformation Pill:

It takes 1200 (240) seconds to refine one Transformation Pill (the actual time after enhancement is in parentheses).

The Transformation Pill lasts for 120 minutes.

After consuming a contracted beast pet (level ≥ 10), it will transform into a beast girl, retaining its original talents and skills, and can choose one of three randomly appearing professions as its own profession (once chosen, it cannot be changed).

Maximum number of transformable pets: 5 (the limit increases by 1 every 10 levels).

Refining cooldown time: 60 minutes. ("Nine Heavens" Enhancement: After the pet transforms, all attributes +100%, talent skill effects +100%.)

[Standard Skills]

Formula 1, Blood-Activating Pill Lv.3:

It takes 60 (12) seconds to refine 5 Blood Activation Pills.

The Blood-Activating Pill lasts for 30 minutes. Upon consumption, it restores 3% (alchemist's magic attack power) + 1.2% (target's maximum health) of health per second for 30 seconds. Multiple pills consumed do not stack. ("Alchemist Saint" enhancement: Effect increased to 5 times; "Nine Heavens" enhancement: During the pill's effect, basic attack damage +100%.)

Refining cooling time: 10 minutes.

Formula 2, Yiling Pill Lv.3:

It takes 60 (12) seconds to refine 5 Yiling Pills.

The Elixir of Enlightenment lasts for 30 minutes. Upon consumption, it restores 2.1% (alchemist's magic attack power) + 1.2% (target's maximum mana) of mana per second for 30 seconds. Multiple consumptions do not stack. ("Elixir Saint" enhancement: Effect increased to 5 times; "Nine Heavens" enhancement: Skill damage increased by 100% during the elixir's effect.)

Formula 2, Healing Pill Lv.3:

It takes 120 (24) seconds to refine 5 healing pills.

疗伤丹存在时间为60分钟，服下后立刻恢复30%（炼丹师魔法攻击力）+30%（目标最大生命值）的生命值，并附加5层「自愈」。服用多枚效果不可叠加。炼製冷却时间：20分钟。

"Self-Healing": Upon being attacked, consumes one stack of "Self-Healing" to negate the attack and restores 20% (target's maximum health) of health over 10 seconds. ("Dan Sheng" Enhancement: While the "Self-Healing" effect is active, any excess healing will be converted into shield value.)

Besides the improvement in basic attributes, he also noticed a detail—

A new line of text has been added to the skill description of the Healing Pill:

"Dan Sheng" Enhancement: During the "Self-Healing" effect, any excess healing will be converted into an equal amount of shield value.

"A new entry for the title 'Sage of Alchemy'?" Lin Yu's eyes lit up.

The healing pill didn't have any enhancement attributes before.

With this enhanced effect, it's a qualitative leap!

For example, Lin Xue's talent skill "Guardian Heart" allows her to restore her own health after dealing damage, which is equivalent to "healing" herself.

However, her shield was too thick, and she was almost always at full health, so all the healing effects were wasted.

Now, as long as she takes the healing pill, she has a "self-healing" effect.

Then the overflow of healing from "Guardian Heart" can be completely converted into a shield!

This means that Lin Xue's shield will get thicker and thicker with each attack!

Moreover, Lin Yu's pills provided a considerable amount of treatment!

"I think I understand those two terms a little better now..."

Lin Yu pondered.

"The enhancement effect of the 'Dan Sheng' attribute seems to be an extension of the skill's effect itself."

"The enhancement effect of the 'Nine Heavens' attribute focuses more on combat, and can be described as an enhancement in 'killing'."

The two directions of reinforcement complement each other.

"Master, take a look at my panel." Lin Xue's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Lin Yu looked up and saw Lin Xue staring at her skill panel with a somewhat confused expression.

"What's wrong?"

"I... I think I've learned a new skill," Lin Xue said. "It suddenly appeared on the panel."

"A new skill?" Lin Yu immediately became interested. "Let me see?"

He immediately checked Lin Xue's panel information and saw the additional skills:

[Ultimate Skill]

Sacred Heart's Protection Lv.1: Upon activation, each member of the party gains a shield equal to 100% of the caster's maximum health per second. During this time, all damage received by each party member will be absorbed by their own shield. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 100 seconds.

Lin Yu gasped after reading the description.

This skill... is insane!

Once activated, each member of the team gains a shield equal to Lin Xue's maximum health per second!

Lin Xue's current health is just over 6000, which means 6000 shields per second, and a total of 6 shields in 10 seconds!

And the most absurd part is the line, "All damage received during this period will be negated by the team member's own shield."

This means that even real damage that ignores the shield, or even mental damage, will only consume shield value!

In other words, during the skill's activation, it's practically impossible for squad members to die.

"Shall we give it a try?" Lin Yu said.

Lin Xue nodded, closed her eyes, and seemed to be trying to figure out how to use the new skill.

A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and pressed her right fist against her chest.

"May the Sacred Heart protect you."

hum-

A soft golden light emanated from her body and quickly spread out, enveloping Lin Yu and Lin Ya as well.

Lin Yu immediately felt a layer of warm energy covering her entire body.

He looked at his status bar, where a new buff icon had appeared.

At the same time, a white shield value appeared above his health bar: 6023.

The next second, the number jumped to 12046.

The shield stacked in the second second.

If not attacked within 10 seconds, the shield value will eventually reach 60230 points!

In addition, the healing pill has new effects—

During "self-healing," excess healing is converted into a shield.

I can't even imagine how thick the shield will be!

"With so many shields, even a squishy damage dealer like Lin Ya..."

"Even when she's tanking monsters, she's still tankier than 30 Liu Huis combined!" Lin Yu exclaimed, comparing the numbers with Liu Huis as a unit of measurement.

Lin Ya then came over, her dark eyes sparkling: "Master, I've learned a new skill too!"

"No, you've also learned the ultimate skill?"

Lin Yu eagerly opened Lin Ya's panel information and found that ultimate skill:

[Ultimate Skill]

火力覆盖Lv.1：技能引导时间10秒。引导时间结束后，每秒消耗10%法力值并向目标区域发射30发炮弹。目标区域範围限定为10米×10米至100米×100米之间。範围越大，炮弹落点越分散。技能最大持续时间为10秒，期间法力值无法满足消耗将自动停止。技能冷却时间30分钟。

Types and probabilities of shells fired:

1. Normal shell: Deals 100% of the user's physical attack power as damage, with a 80% chance;

2. Mortar Shell: Deals 250% (own physical attack power) + 1.2% (target's maximum health) physical damage, with a 5% chance;

3. Tracking Shell: Deals 320% (own physical attack power) + 3.2% (target's maximum health) physical damage, with a 5% chance;

4. Grenade: Deals 150% (own physical attack power) + 1% (target's maximum health) physical damage, with a 10% chance;

5. Depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles: The corresponding skills have not been learned, and they are not included in probability calculations.

6. White phosphorus incendiary bomb: The corresponding skill has not been learned, and it is not included in the probability calculation;

7. Chemical toxic grenades: The corresponding skills have not been learned, and they are not included in the probability calculation.

8. Cluster shells: The corresponding skill has not been learned, so they are not included in the probability calculation.

9. Tactical nuclear weapons: The corresponding skills have not been learned, and they are not included in the probability calculation.

After watching Lin Ya's ultimate skill, Lin Yu fell into a brief silence.

30 shells per second?

What the hell is this firepower?

No wonder the job name is "Heavy Artillery Destroyer".

This isn't just destruction, this could destroy the world!

"Even if VanVleet from the real world saw this, he'd have to give it a thumbs up and call him 'bro'!" Lin Yu thought to himself.

At the same time, he also discovered a "blind spot":

Those types of shells that haven't been unlocked—depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, white phosphorus incendiary shells, chemical agent shells, cluster shells, and finally, tactical nuclear shells...

These should be related to the new skills Lin Ya learned after leveling up.

Just by seeing the names of those shells, Lin Yu could imagine their power.

They are all famous, on the blacklist of international conventions, and deserve to be the good things enjoyed by the people of the island nation.

It's pretty much the same if we use it on Warcraft now, since they're all beasts anyway.

"In short, once this ultimate move is activated, it's equivalent to the output of several thousand Xia Yues," Lin Yu thought to himself.

"Master, this skill looks amazing!" Lin Ya exclaimed excitedly. "Shall we find a place to try it out?"

Lin Yu glanced at the time; it was one in the morning.

"It's too late, I'll try again tomorrow," he said. "This skill has a 30-minute cooldown and consumes a lot of mana, so it should be used at crucial moments."

"When you're running the dungeon tomorrow, practice the timing of using this skill specifically."

Lin Ya was a little disappointed, but still obediently nodded: "Okay..."

"However," Lin Yu changed the subject, "we can go get some barbecue now."

Lin Ya's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?"

"Really," Lin Yu said with a smile, "It's to celebrate you learning the ultimate skill."

"Yay!" Lin Ya cheered, her earlier disappointment vanishing completely.

Lin Xue also showed a faint smile.

The three left the instance area and headed towards the night market at the east gate of the school.

The campus was quiet at one o'clock in the morning, with only the streetlights casting a dim yellow light.

Lin Yu walked in the middle, with Lin Xue, who had silver hair and was tall, on her left, and Lin Ya, who had pink hair and was petite, on her right.

Both of them naturally linked their arms with his, their actions intimate and natural.

"Master, I want to eat honey-baked steamed buns," Lin Ya said. "Ten skewers!"

"We also want grilled fish," Lin Xue added softly.

"Everything is available," Lin Yu said with a smile. "Eat whatever you like today, it's on me."

"Master is the best!" Lin Ya happily shook his arm.

When we arrived at the East Gate, the night market was still bustling.

The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue and the smoke of various foods.

Lin Yu led the two to the barbecue stall where they had met at noon.

The boss remembered them, and grinned when he saw Lin Yu: "Young man, you're here again... the same as always?"

"Same as always, add twenty more honey-baked buns," Lin Yu said.

"Okay!"

The three of them found a seat on the side and sat down.

Soon, the barbecue was served one after another.

Sizzling grilled fish, fragrant and crispy chicken wings, and perfectly marbled pork belly...

There are also golden honey-baked buns, with a thick layer of honey brushed on the surface and sprinkled with white sesame seeds.

Lin Ya couldn't wait to pick up a skewer of grilled buns and take small bites, her eyes squinting into crescent moons with happiness.

Lin Xue ate the grilled fish elegantly, occasionally picking up a skewer to feed Lin Yu.

Looking at the two of them, Lin Yu felt a surge of satisfaction.

He took a bite of the grilled chicken wing that Lin Xue handed him.

The crispy, caramelized skin and tender, juicy chicken, combined with the aroma of cumin and chili, melt in your mouth.

Really fragrant.

……

The three burly men that Lin Yu and his friends encountered last time they had barbecue.

This time, I sat at a table not far away again.

"This young man is really something, he's found another pretty girl."

"That's really impressive, it's got the flair I had back in the day."

"You're just bragging. He can get two lovers to sit at the same table for a meal. That alone makes him much better than you."

The two burly men were chatting idly, while the handsome man's face was filled with shock.

"Damn it, this pink-haired girl's fate line was even shorter in the past!" the handsome man said in a low voice, "less than a year!"

"Goodness, last time you said the white-haired girl was under 3 years old, and this time the pink-haired girl is under 1 year old..."

"You might as well be treating us like three-year-olds!"

"I have no reason to lie to you; this is what my 'Eye of Destiny' saw," the handsome man said confidently.

"Old Xue, is there something wrong with your 'Eye of Destiny'?"

"How is that possible!"

……

As they were talking, the handsome man's phone vibrated.

He glanced at the message and simply said, "We've located that Japanese spy."

The three exchanged a glance, picked up their glasses, drank them in one gulp, and then hurriedly left...
