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

Lin Yuan waited for a while, and finally, the experience fruit tree suddenly disappeared, and the five fruits fell down at the same time.

With quick reflexes, he caught all five fruits.

【Experience Fruit (Consumable)】After consumption, it immediately increases experience points by 4%. The user's level cannot exceed 40.

Lin Yuan smiled.

Instead of putting the experience fruit away, he ate it directly.

It had almost no flavor, like chewing wax.

One, two, three... He quickly ate all five experience fruits.

It had no taste and didn't make me feel full.

Level: 20 (22%).

If he gets 5 every day, he can reach level 21 in a little over four days. Then he can continue farming gold-rated dungeons, using the Book of Wishes to wish for experience rewards, and he won't be far from level 30.

If you calculate it that way, he might even reach level 30 when school officially starts on September 1st!

Level 30, that's a completely different set of equipment.

Alas, it's a pity that I probably won't encounter the experience fruit tree again tomorrow.

Such a low probability!

Let's go, let's take advantage of the time we still have and run the level 20 dungeon one more time.

Ok?

Lin Yuan suddenly stopped, feeling a strange sensation.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something just feels off.

suddenly!

He sensed a murderous intent emanating from behind him.

Instinctively, he thrust his sword behind him.

Ding!

The sword was blocked, and the air distorted, revealing a person.

The man was completely covered in black cloth, with a cloak covering his head and most of his face, revealing only two murderous eyes. Clearly, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Indeed, he was clearly a high-level player who deliberately took a detour to this area and even used stealth. Logically, as long as he didn't attack, Lin Yuan shouldn't have been able to detect his whereabouts. So why did he suddenly thrust his sword at him, forcing him to parry and thus breaking his stealth?

"Huh, you're a high-level player!" Lin Yuan said in a deep voice. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to block my sword strike—you're an assassin, using stealth to launch ambushes; you specialize in killing low-level players!"

Seeing that Lin Yuan had analyzed his situation clearly, the assassin frowned, then flicked his hand, throwing a cloud of ash at Lin Yuan before disappearing from Lin Yuan's sight.

Lin Yuan instinctively closed his eyes and retreated.

"die!"

A cold voice sounded behind him, and then a chill ran down his back.

That assassin is incredibly fast!

Lin Yuan snorted.

The Blood Shadow Sword thrust backward, and the Dance of Thunder was activated.

However, the longsword swung across but did not touch anything!

"You've been tricked!" The cold voice rang out again, but this time it wasn't behind Lin Yuan, but in front of him!

A flash of cold light, and a dagger was seen thrusting towards his throat.

The assassin reappeared.

Once we see the person, things will be much easier.

Lin Yuan activated the special effects of the Imperial Belt.

[Upon activation, you unleash a powerful imperial aura, interrupting all spellcasting and causing all nearby targets to kneel before you for 3 seconds. Its effect is reduced or completely negligible against players or monsters level 140 or higher. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]

"Kneel down!"

As if by magic, the assassin involuntarily slumped to his knees on the ground.

Bang!

The special effects of the diamond armor were something he couldn't possibly withstand, and he immediately knelt down. Moreover, the special effects lasted for 3 seconds, making it impossible for him to get up.

Lin Yuan grinned and thrust his sword forward.

Thunder Dance is still on cooldown, so let's use Savage Strike.

This attack can deal over 7000 damage, instantly killing players below level 40. However, it might not be effective against players above level 50, as upgraded equipment and the addition of True Essence can significantly reduce the damage.

With a single strike, blood splattered everywhere.

However, after this sword strike, the powerful control of the Imperial Belt also came to an end.

The assassin suddenly leaped up, but instead of continuing the attack, he retreated.

Want to run?

Lin Yuan took a step forward and quickly closed the distance.

The assassin gritted his teeth, his body twisted, and he vanished in an instant!

Ok?

Lin Yuan sneered and activated the active effect of the Moon Goddess Necklace.

With a whoosh, a figure a hundred meters tall immediately appeared, pointing directly at the area in front of Lin Yuan. A beam of light fell, and a figure was revealed!

Faced with the special effects of the Starry Sky equipment, no matter whether the assassin uses skills, items, or equipment effects, they are far less important and are immediately exposed.

boom!

The strangulation begins.

After taking just one hit, the assassin's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he pulled out a teleportation talisman from his backpack, intending to flee. However, the special effects of the Starry Sky Armor were too terrifying; with a snap, the teleportation talisman was shattered into pieces.

—This attack can even shred bronze equipment, let alone a small talisman.

Now, the assassin finally showed a look of despair.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

That's 5000 damage per second, and this damage can't be reduced; you just have to take it!

After only the third strike, the assassin couldn't withstand it any longer and was instantly torn to shreds by the terrifying light.

Two seconds later, the huge figure in the sky disappeared, and Lin Yuan looked at the huge crater that had suddenly appeared in front of him, speechless.

The same thing happened again; everyone, including their equipment, was blasted to smithereens.

Lin Yuan frowned. This person was obviously a high-level player. If nothing unexpected happened, he was probably level 50 or above and wearing a full set of silver armor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to last for three seconds under the Moon God's Radiance. So, what was such a player doing in a low-level area?

Crucially, he was also an assassin!

He suddenly had a thought and sent a message to Su Yunmeng: "Is now a convenient time?"

"Convenient." Su Yunmeng replied almost instantly. "I'm currently fighting a Silver BOSS to gain experience, but it's not my turn to participate yet. I'm so bored I'm about to fall asleep."

Well, this is what it's like to be a child from a powerful family; there's absolutely no need to worry about gaining experience.

Lin Yuan switched to voice chat: "What do you know about cults?"

"Huh, why are you suddenly asking that?" Su Yunmeng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized, "Were you assassinated?"

"You could have guessed that?" Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.

"How are you? Are you hurt?" Su Yunmeng asked anxiously.

"No, I killed him instead," Lin Yuan replied. If he didn't quickly say that he was alright, he felt that this girl might even abandon the BOSS and come looking for him instead!

"It's good that you're alright!" Su Yunmeng breathed a long sigh of relief, then said angrily, "We humans have already had it tough enough, constantly fighting against monsters invading our reality, with heavy casualties. Yet some people are still spouting nonsense, actually believing that this is divine punishment and that we shouldn't resist, but rather accept our fate. Those who survive are the chosen ones and can enter heaven."

Lin Yuan was stunned. There were actually people, no, a group of people, who thought that way!

You're insane.

That's true, otherwise how could it have become a cult?

"Some cults only advise people not to level up, but some are extremely radical and will even assassinate our young geniuses," Su Yunmeng continued. "You've most likely encountered one of these cult members!"
