The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

You opened the Black Iron Chest yourself.

[Because of your Treasure Chest King talent, the Iron Treasure Chest has been upgraded to a Gold Treasure Chest.]

cool!

Every time Lin Yuan saw such a notification, he felt a sense of satisfaction that came from the bottom of his heart.

A flash of golden light, the box disappeared, and a red book appeared on the toilet seat.

Skill book?

Lin Yuan picked it up to examine it.

[Skill Book: Cleave (Rank C, Bound)] Teaches you how to use Cleave. Requires level: 10.

[Cleave (Rank C)] Deals 150% Strength damage to the target and three nearby targets. Cooldown: 10 seconds. Requires: Melee weapon.

Yo!

Although the damage bonus is not as high as Savage Strike, the key point is that it can hit 4 targets!

Four 150% increases that's 600%, which is stronger than Savage Strike.

But what if there's only one goal?

That power is not as great as a Savage Strike.

It's nothing, it's just a C-level skill!

Currently, new players can only obtain F-level skills, and they can only obtain E-level skills at level 30. How many levels do they need to reach to obtain C-level skills?

Level 80!

He's only level 14, yet he's already acquired level 80 skills—not just one, but two, and one of them is even A-rank!

Of course, other players who perform well in the beginner trials may also obtain skills of rank F or higher, which is the only way for players to obtain advanced skills at low levels.

Either spend money.

How much can this skill book sell for?

If it's not tied to anything and Lin Yuan is willing to sell, even if he asks for 100 million, he's guaranteed to be snapped up in seconds.

However, since it's a bundled agreement, there's no need to worry about whether to sell it or not.

"study!"

He slapped the skill book onto his body, and a new skill appeared in his skill bar.

Now, his monster-killing ability has reached a new level.

Unfortunately... the problem now is that there are too few monsters, not that his firepower is insufficient.

"If we practice tomorrow, our chances of breaking the record will be even greater," Lin Yuan smiled.

Just like yesterday, he ate a quick bite and then found an empty room to rest.

With the talent of being as immovable as a mountain, he leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep peacefully.

……

The Yang family.

"Still can't get in touch with Lao Hei?" Yang Bing asked.

"Yes," came the butler's reply.

Yang Bing frowned. "Is it possible that something unexpected happened?"

The butler thought for a moment and said decisively, "Impossible! Old Hei is level 29, and he's almost fully equipped with black iron weapons. Moreover, his talent is particularly suited for assassination—in my opinion, Old Hei must have gone out to lay low."

Yang Bing: "You said it yourself, his talent is suited for assassination, and no one can see him, so why do you need to avoid the limelight? No, contact Captain Zhang later and have them send someone over to check on that kid."

"Yes, sir," the butler replied respectfully.

Yang Bing changed the subject. How could a mere newcomer, even with S-level talent, possibly be worth his attention?

"What level is Xiao Xuan at?"

The butler smiled and said, "Young Master is now level 11. He's very promising. He reached level 10 in the beginner trial and practiced all day today, which is how he reached level 11."

Yang Bing nodded: "We've prepared so much equipment, potions, and talismans for that kid; it would be a waste if he didn't reach level 11!"

The butler then said, "Master, you're being too harsh on the young master. There are plenty of A-level talents out there, but those who can reach level 11 on the very next day are extremely rare!"

"Hahaha!" Yang Bing couldn't help but laugh heartily, but as he laughed, he snorted, "If Xiao Xuan could get an S-level talent, his achievements would be even greater!"

"It's all that bastard's fault!"

Even though he's dead, I still hate him to the core!

Yang Bing's face was cold, and wisps of cold air visibly materialized, turning into icicles that fell down in large pieces, which was quite frightening.

"Master, please calm down!" The butler was about to persuade him, but then he paused. After a few seconds, he turned to Yang Bing with a grim expression and said, "I just received a message from Vice President Xiao of the group. One of our teams in the game has been completely wiped out."

"What!" Yang Bing jumped up and threw the teacup away.

"Who did this?!"

He flew into a rage.

……

When Lin Yuan woke up, he felt that the fatigue from yesterday had been completely swept away.

Looking at the time, there's only one hour left before departure.

He quickly washed up, bought two steamed buns to take with him, and headed towards the station.

It wasn't far; he found an empty room nearby yesterday.

Soon, he got into the car and set off.

The car was full of people, and their protector was a young man not much older than Lin Yuan. He had a stern face, looked very cool, and had a sword at his waist. He was sitting on the roof of the car.

Lin Yuan quickly learned the identity of this young man by listening to the identities of the other people in the car.

Lin Quan, a third-year student at Wuhan University in Shanghai, is in his mid-50s. He took on the role of safety officer mainly to earn academic credits.

You should know that leveling up will only get slower and slower. Starting from level 10, it takes a month or two to level up once. At most, you can only level up 10 times a year. He awakened his talent at the age of 18, and in his junior year of college, which is only about three years, he has already leveled up to more than 50. It's terrifying.

Wuhan University in Shanghai truly lives up to its reputation as one of the two top martial arts universities in China.

However, it was a bit pretentious.

Lin Yuan looked up and wondered, "Is it really necessary to sit on the roof of the car?"

Hey, if he were level 50 or so now, would he be even more pretentious than Lin Quan?

With someone like that in charge, nothing should go wrong, right?

What you fear is what comes to pass.

Once outside the city, when the towering steel walls were far behind and out of sight, a rhinoceros covered in iron armor charged towards us from afar.

Wow, it's at least ten meters long and as tall as a two-story building!

"That's an armored rhinoceros!"

"A level 60 monster!"

Someone recognized the monster and exclaimed in surprise, their voice trembling.

With a thunderous roar, the earth trembled wherever the rhinoceros galloped past.

Is it possible that there are rhinoceroses in the Suzhou area?

Is this a rhinoceros in the zoo that has mutated, or is it a monster from the game that was not eliminated after its invasion and is now lurking in the wild?

Just as everyone in the car was terrified, a dazzling sword light flashed from the roof of the car and slashed into the rhinoceros's body. Then, as the rhinoceros was running, it was split in two!

Splash! Blood and entrails spilled all over the floor.

Sold out instantly.

Lin Yuan was deeply shocked.

At least 30 meters away, he actually killed a level 60 monster with a single sword strike. That's really impressive!

With his current physique, can he withstand such a sword strike?

Lin Yuan made an estimate and then shook his head.

If he can't catch it, he'll be instantly killed.

Wow, that's the real value of Wuhan University students in Shanghai!
