I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 297: Chapter 297: War God-Class Ace Thug?! Shenxiao Is Scared Sh*tless!

Lin Yi could tell this was Cheng Xiao being humble.

Right now, Lin Yi couldn’t understand the fundamental principle of the ”truth” law, but seeing Cheng Xiao predict the future, detect fortune, and even modify fate,

this guy was definitely the Innate Gambling King Sacred Body.

”Of course, the casino’s tricks are known to all who understand—even if it’s cheating, those grand prizes, placed high on the throne to tempt the ignorant masses to test their luck, it’s completely impossible for anyone to truly win them.”

”Normally, to ensure a surface-level fairness and authenticity, the casino will arrange for a stooge to win the grand prize every now and then.”

”And then replace it with a new grand prize.”

”Recently, you’d definitely be interested in the grand prize at Yunding Entertainment City.”

Cheng Xiao paused here, acting mysteriously.

Then he revealed the details of the grand prize.

”The Primordial Fire.”

Lin Yi’s pupils contracted.

He hadn’t forgotten that this was the material he needed to advance his Fire Element Forbidden Curse.

He had planned to revisit the Desert Sea Gold-digging instance to see if there was still a chance to obtain this material.

But now it seemed that this item had been transferred elsewhere?

”Surprised?”

”I also once cleared that instance called Desert Sea Gold-digging, and even had the fortune to see the two treasures beneath the Desert Vortex.”

”Unfortunately, I was still too inexperienced back then and couldn’t get my hands on them.”

”Actually, the Descent Abyss instance in Yunding Entertainment City is in the same universe plane as the Desert Sea Gold-digging instance.”

”By now, you should be able to guess who the boss behind this Yunding Entertainment City is.”

”Is it that Sand Pirate King Roger?” Lin Yi blurted out.

Clap!

Cheng Xiao snapped his fingers.

”This guy’s business empire spans the entire Seventh Descent Universe.”

”He deals in both the black and white trades.”

”His accumulated wealth and curated treasures basically allow him to dominate the entire Seventh Descent Universe.”

”So, if you want to get this grand prize, it might be incredibly difficult.”

”If there’s no other option, we may have to initiate the final plan.”

Lin Yi: ”Steal it?”

Cheng Xiao gave Lin Yi a knowing look.

Even though completing this instance was primarily for profit, as the most free-form Descent Abyss instance to date, allowing free entry and exit,

stealing it directly is certainly an option.

However, you can only do such a thing once.

After the heist, the instance, or rather the entire Seventh Descent Universe, will likely permanently banish you.

Entering again would be incredibly difficult.

”So the plan now is to enter the instance, keep a low profile, and make a good profit first.”

”At least meet the requirements for clearing the instance, so we can exit and escape at any time.”

”Once the objectives for clearance are met, we’ll act immediately!”

”The strongest entity in this instance is about the level of the Descent Abyss Demon Monarch, and even if I can’t kill him in a short time, he shouldn’t be able to do much against me. I can hold him off while you grab the treasure and run.”

”Alright, that’s all for now—everything else depends on the situation once we’re in the instance.”

”Now, call over three more people.”

”The instance requires a team of five.”

Lan Ruoxi added, ”The instance at Yunding Entertainment City is very open, so entrances are available in almost every country worldwide.”

”Xia’s entrance is in the Imperial Capital.”

”Once your team is assembled, just use the Teleportation Array from Shenxiao to get to the Imperial Capital.”

Cheng Xiao chuckled lightly: ”No need for such hassle.”

Lan Ruoxi was momentarily surprised, then smiled knowingly: ”I forgot you have this golden partner. Then I won’t say more, good luck to you all.”

Referring to a War God-level powerhouse as a partner.

It’s clearly not a compliment.

Even if the partner is prefixed with ”golden.”

Lin Yi had already sensed long ago that Lan Ruoxi’s background was likely not ordinary, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to chat so casually with a War God.

...

”The ninth level of... the Descent Abyss?!”

”I... I just managed to clear the zero level...”

At Shenxiao, in front of Fu Xi Academy’s teaching block.

The chubby Feng Sanyou had a bitter expression, clearly a bit intimidated by Lin Yi’s invitation.

”Mr. Lin, I’m afraid I’ll hold you back, maybe... maybe I shouldn’t go.”

No sooner had he said that than he got slapped on the back of his head.

”I say, why are you, this little chubby, so cowardly? With Mr. Lin leading, what are you afraid of?”

”If he dares invite you, it means he’s not afraid you’ll drag him down!”

”Learn from me, just latch onto the big shot and be ready to shout 666!”

Sun Dachuan’s build was even larger than Feng Sanyou’s.

The two chubby guys standing together almost seemed carved from the same mold.

Unified in heart and mind, they weighed over eight hundred pounds together.

”Little junior, this time I also have the privilege of tagging along.”

”I sure can shout 666~!”

Even Nangong Ling was grinning cheekily.

Actually, Feng Sanyou was a year older than Lin Yi.

After all, he was selected into Shenxiao from another academy.

Surely older than Lin Yi, the special recruit.

Lin Yi couldn’t be bothered to argue over being called ”Mr.” and simply reassured, ”Don’t put too much pressure on yourself; for this instance, I’m actually just along for the ride.”

”The true big shot isn’t me.”

Nangong Ling and Sun Dachuan were both stunned.

Huh?

You’re not the big one?

Just how big is this big shot?

”Little junior, who’s the last team member? Do we know them?”

”Is it the headmaster personally joining us?”

Nangong Ling asked.

Lin Yi shook his head, ”It’s not her.”

”You probably don’t know him either.”

”But he’s a War God.”

”I won’t reveal his name.”

The four stood there, Lin Yi didn’t lower his voice deliberately.

Given his current fame at Shenxiao, nearly everyone knew who he was.

Anyone passing by couldn’t help but turn to look.

Some even pretended to pass by just to eavesdrop on what the four were discussing.

Almost as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking.

He instantly saw the come and go, the students entering and leaving Fu Xi Academy.

Almost stumbled, nearly tripping face-first.

Knowing their eavesdropping had been exposed, they didn’t even bother to hide it.

Watching with eyes full of shock and terror.

No way, buddy!

A War God is helping you with the Descent Abyss??

Who is this guy?

Even the heirs of top families don’t get such treatment.

Just gone for a bit over a week.

The Great Demon King has already evolved to command War God-level powerhouses to help in instances??

These passers-by were stunned.

No doubt, such explosive news will top the day’s Shenxiao Forum gossip section in no time.

The onlookers were already dumbfounded.

The impact on Sun Dachuan and the other two was even more dramatic.

Chubby Feng Sanyou was almost in tears.

”War... War God?!”

Instead of feeling reassured by Lin Yi’s ”comfort,”

he felt even more nervous.
