I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 927: Chapter 927: Familiar Faces

The area around his original residence used to be very secluded.

Without exaggeration, within several li around, his place was the only building there, but now, after just half a year, the environment around his residence had undergone earth‑shaking changes.

As soon as he pushed open the door, what came into view were all sorts of dazzling modern buildings, while the retro Xia‑style building Lin Yi lived in looked completely out of place.

Compared to the previous quiet elegance, there was now a lot more vitality around Lin Yi’s residence.

Experts were shuttling back and forth in front of Lin Yi, most of them new faces he didn’t recognize.

Not exaggerating, after half a year, standing in front of his own house again gave him a feeling like a lifetime had passed.

While Lin Yi was still dazed, a chubby, pudgy guy walked up to him and greeted him enthusiastically.

”Hey, bro, nice to meet you. My name’s Dezi, I’ve been in Dark Rising for hundreds of years now. This past half a year, Dark Rising’s been growing like crazy, recruiting a bunch of experts into the organization. Now I’ve finally had the fortune to enter Headquarters to handle logistics. Very happy to meet you, hehe.”

Looking at the little fatty in front of him, Lin Yi’s expression grew slightly distant.

The person before him actually gave him a sense of familiarity.

That humorous, enthusiastic chatter, that chubby body, made Lin Yi involuntarily think of that little fatty back then who had sacrificed his life for Blue Star.

In a bit of a daze, Lin Yi reached out his hand and clasped the little fatty’s hand.

”Hehe, big bro, if I’m not wrong, you should be that big shot who obtained the Divine River Song, right? Being able to meet you here, that’s my honor as Dezi, hehe. Having shaken hands with the owner of the Divine River Song, I’ll be able to brag for quite a long time in the future.”

”Big shot, is there anything I can do for you?”

Lin Yi hadn’t even said a single word yet when Dezi went on and on by himself.

Even so, Lin Yi didn’t feel the slightest bit of dislike toward this guy called Dezi.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, thinking of the time he’d been away and how much information he still needed to fill in, having this little fatty in front of him explain things and patch up his knowledge seemed like a pretty good choice.

”There’s nothing I particularly need help with. I just want to know what’s happened during this period. Can you tell me in detail?”

The little fatty clearly hadn’t expected a big shot of Lin Yi’s level to be this easy to talk to; it genuinely made him a bit flattered and overwhelmed.

”Of course, big shot. As long as it’s something you want to know, I’ll tell you everything I know, no holding back.”

Taking advantage of the fact that Xiyue and little Ao Shu were still cultivating, Lin Yi carefully listened to Dezi talk about the recent events.

Dark Rising making such big moves in such a short time was truly beyond Lin Yi’s expectations.

He really hadn’t expected Dark Rising to be this capable, this confident.

The scheming and infighting of All Celestial Divine Beings also left Lin Yi genuinely speechless.

No matter how strong a group is, as long as there are internal contradictions and no real cohesion, that group can’t become a truly solid iron bucket, unable to withstand big storms and waves.

All Celestial Divine Beings were no exception; it was just that their lack of cohesion was really beyond Lin Yi’s expectations.

”Being able to stabilize the entire Desire Realm in their own hands—sigh, Dark Rising really is impressive. It’s just a pity that a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Who knows when their counterattack will begin.”

All Celestial Divine Beings had ruled the Three Realms and Six Paths for so long. Even if there were gaps between the Divine Beings of each faction, and they were all seeking their own interests, you still couldn’t deny their strength.

Even after the entire Desire Realm was taken by the Dark Rising Organization, they were still able to remain unruffled. That alone showed how deep the foundations of All Celestial Divine Beings were.

This viewpoint of Lin Yi’s immediately piqued Dezi’s interest.

He was different from the other members of Dark Rising.

After the Desire Realm was seized from the hands of All Celestial Divine Beings, the members of Dark Rising were all more smug than the last.

They felt that by joining Dark Rising and becoming important members of Dark Rising, their strength and status were enough to rival All Celestial Divine Beings.

Such arrogant thinking was not good for the long‑term development of Dark Rising. Because of this, the higher‑ups of Dark Rising had specially said that taking the Desire Realm was just a phase victory, or rather, a very small victory, and told the members of Dark Rising not to get arrogant.

But this statement made the members of Dark Rising think the organization was simply keeping a low profile.

Stuff like ”Dark Rising will eventually drive out All Celestial Divine Beings” was being spread noisily throughout the Dark Rising Organization, and the sense of belonging and confidence of Dark Rising members had reached an unprecedented height.

Dezi had always been a hands‑on type.

Otherwise he couldn’t have spent hundreds of years to finally enter Dark Rising Headquarters.

He knew very well that he wasn’t on the same level as a freak like Lin Yi, but that didn’t stop him from having his own unique views.

It was just that he couldn’t say these views out loud, or it would cause dissatisfaction among other members.

Originally, Dezi planned to just go along with everyone, do what he should do, lie low and develop, and use the Source Power Elixirs given by the higher‑ups to enhance his strength. He never expected to actually run into a big shot whose thinking matched his own.

”Big shot, what you just said is really not something you should say in front of the other members. Now that the organization has grown bigger and stronger, they don’t want to boost others’ morale while weakening their own. It’s enough that you just tell me this. Saying it out loud is really bad for the organization’s unity.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled.

”That’s just how I am. I say whatever’s on my mind and never beat around the bush. If I can say this in front of you, then naturally I can say it in front of others as well.”

”Let’s go, take me to see the Dragon Queen. After lying low for half a year, it’s about time I did some work for the organization.”

At this moment, the way Dezi looked at Lin Yi changed—there was a light in his eyes.

Awesome! Idol!

Not affected by his environment in the slightest, what he thought in his heart was exactly where his sword pointed. He didn’t need to say insincere things just to cater to others. In the entire Three Realms and Six Paths, how many people could做到这一点.

Especially for those in high positions, people who could做到这一点 were extremely rare.

”Got it, follow me.”

Just as Lin Yi had guessed.

To make it easier to mobilize the organization’s manpower, and also to reduce some of the Dragon Queen’s workload, her workplace had been moved to a bigger, more spacious place with a lot more staff.

This place had been labeled by Dark Rising as the Dispatch Center, and the Dragon Queen was the controller of the entire Dispatch Center.

”Hey, what are you doing?”

”Don’t you know you need to make an appointment and line up to enter the Dispatch Center to receive tasks?”

On Dezi the fatty’s hand was a ”Si”-level ring. In the Dark Rising Organization, that level really couldn’t be called high; the fact he was able to come work at Headquarters was honestly just good luck.

No wonder the guards at the Dispatch Center looked so annoyed when they saw him.

As for the fact that he’d brought along a young man who looked a little over twenty, that only gave the guards at the Dispatch Center even more reason to look down on him.
