【System Announcement: Congratulations to Sakura Rain for leading the SummerPalace team to successfully kill the world boss, the Ancient Stone Giant - Sostak! The final blow was delivered by Promise of Battle!】

【System: Lilina has reached level 20】

【System: You have killed the Ancient Stone Giant - Sostak, and received an additional 5 attribute points as a reward】

...

Success!

The moment the system announcement was heard, the entire SummerPalace guild erupted in excitement. All the members who participated in the battle felt like crying, they never thought it would happen! The boss had only a sliver of health left, but unfortunately, everyone except Yang Ye was dead. At that moment, everyone had given up hope. Even if Yang Ye was powerful, how could he possibly withstand and dodge the combined skills of dozens of people?

But he did! He withstood it! He dodged it! And he got the kill on the boss!

[Team] Fragile Glass: Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Handsome Promise, I want to have your babies!!

[Team] Flower Blooming: I thought we were going to be robbed... There were only a few of us left when I died.

[Team] Nine-Colored Fox: I love you, Promise, I want to have your monkeys!!!!

[Team] Jinnian: Holy shit, Fox, you want to have monkeys, not foxes?!

...

Compared to the excitement and relaxation of the girls in SummerPalace, the danger for Yang Ye was far from over. He quickly scooped up all the drops and charged directly at a member of the Seven Nights guild on the outskirts.

His figure darted through the air, and the rapid charge allowed Yang Ye to quickly break out of the encirclement. After the charge ended, Yang Ye didn't bother with the stunned mage on the ground and ran away. It was only then that the members of the Seven Nights guild reacted—

"Damn, damn, damn, chase him! Chase him! That guy isn't dead! Catch up and kill him!"

"Call for revives! Don't just lie there, it's useless!"

...

While fleeing, Yang Ye also sent a message to Sakura Rain, telling her not to revive on the spot but to directly revive in the city and contact him once he entered Rainfall City.

Yang Ye's current mood was indescribable. He felt like he had survived a great disaster, and there was a sense of being pushed to the brink. There was also the thrill of a hundred-person PK and the excitement of dancing on the edge of a knife. It was hard to put into words.

He ran quickly toward the main city, with assassins using Swift Wind hot on his heels. A few of them were quite fast, and Yang Ye's health was low, with Lilina in a critical state. It wasn't good to fight, so he had to run.

Thanks to his movement speed bonus, Yang Ye was never caught, even when he was ambushed by stealthed assassins. He easily avoided them thanks to the "No Stealth Mode" under his miner's helmet.

The Seven Nights guild's efforts were in vain, and they had no choice but to give up.

Outside the central trading hall in Rainfall City.

Sakura Rain and her group of girls had been waiting here for a long time. To be honest, Sakura Rain was a bit worried that Promise would take all the equipment, but fortunately, he didn't. Even so, her mood wasn't much better.

In the battle, everyone except Yang Ye had died, and the losses were significant. However, SummerPalace was one of the top ten guilds, and even with all girls, they could recover quickly. This time, the boss dropped a Spirit-grade item!

A Spirit-grade item! How could Sakura Rain not be upset? But since she had promised, she had to keep her word. Besides, without Yang Ye, the battle would have been a complete failure.

Yang Ye and Lilina walked over to Sakura Rain, chatting and laughing. As soon as they got close, Sakura Rain smiled and said, "Promise, thank you. If it weren't for you..."

Yang Ye smiled and waved his hand, saying, "President Sakura Rain, don't say that. It's a matter of mutual benefit. Look, I got the Spirit-grade item I wanted. Here, take the other equipment. Ha ha." Saying this, he sent a trade request to Sakura Rain.

The trade was successful, and Yang Ye gave all the other equipment to Sakura Rain, keeping only the Spirit-grade necklace, Sostak's Core—

Sostak's Core (Necklace - Spirit-grade)

Equipment Level: 25

Physical Attack +98

Physical Defense +232

Magic Defense +166

Health +144

Strength +132

Stamina +120

Intelligence +88

Mores' Hammer: Look at my hands, this is the hammerhead!! On normal attacks, there is a 5% chance to trigger Mores' Hammer, dealing additional damage and knocking back the target.

Rock Pillar: The rock is at my command! On attacks, there is a 10% chance to summon a rock pillar under the target, causing a knockback effect.

Sostak's Core Explosion: Sostak refuses to yield! When health is below 5%, you can self-destruct, dealing 1000 fixed damage to all enemies in the area.

The attributes were extremely strong. Yang Ye especially liked the passive effect of Sostak's Core Explosion. Combined with his Spirit-grade weapon's resurrection, it was a great combo. When he was about to die, he could use the explosion and then resurrect, which was very satisfying.

Seeing Sakura Rain's slightly gloomy expression, Yang Ye didn't dare to stay too long. Women, you never know what they might be thinking.

After saying goodbye to Sakura Rain, he checked the time. It was already 10:30 AM. He hurried to the trading hall and bought a lot of lavender essence materials. Then he listed the remaining 1000 portions of essence at 7 gold each. This batch sold faster than the previous one, as everyone seemed to worry that, like last time, the 1000 portions would be gone and there would be no more.

With 7000 gold in hand, deducting the fees and costs, he made over 6700 gold. Yang Ye was once again amazed at how easy it was to make money. On the trading website, he listed 5000 gold at a 1:73 exchange rate. The 800,000 from last time had already arrived, and this time he made another 360,000, bringing his total to over a million.

Yang Ye didn't rush to craft the materials. He was a bit tired and needed to rest. A night of fighting was truly exhausting.

He logged out, took a shower, and went to a nearby restaurant to order a few dishes and a bottle of wine, celebrating a bit—after all, he now had a million in savings!

Back in his room, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until 6:30 PM, when Qin Yan called to invite him for dinner.

At Qin Yan's house.

"Qin Yan, have you played the game yet?" Yang Ye asked. He had set up the helmet and peripherals for her, so she could go in directly. The beginner mode of TOST was quite user-friendly, and even if she hadn't played games before, it shouldn't be hard to get started.

"Yes, I played a bit. It's quite fun. No wonder you play it every day," Qin Yan replied. It was her first time playing such a game, and she was full of curiosity. Once inside, she just ran around and explored, even getting lost and entering a high-level monster area, where she was killed by a monster. She didn't want Yang Ye to know about that.

"Good, if Auntie feels better, you can buy one for her to play. Sitting here watching TV all day is so boring, right? She can plant flowers and make some money in the game," Yang Ye suggested.

This idea brightened Qin Yan's eyes. Indeed, even though her mother's legs were disabled in real life, they wouldn't be in the game! She could play in the game.

She happily said, "Mom, what Brother Xiaoye said makes sense. I'll buy a helmet for you too, and you can play in the game."

Qin's mother was surprised. How did the conversation suddenly turn to her? And they wanted her to play a game? Weren't games for young people? She immediately shook her head, "No, no, no, I'm too old to play games. I won't play, I won't play, I won't play."

"Mom, you can just play for fun, you don't need to spend anything. Okay?" Qin Yan tried to persuade her, but Qin's mother still shook her head.

Yang Ye watched for a moment and then said to Qin's mother, "Auntie, Qin Yan will definitely make money in the game. It would be good for you to help her."

Hearing that she could help her daughter make money, Qin's mother hesitated and asked, "Xiaoye, can you really make money in this game?"

Qin's mother's question made Qin Yan look at Yang Ye too. She also wanted to know.

Yang Ye chuckled and took out his bank card, saying, "Make money? Of course! I've already made 1 million!"

Qin Yan and Qin's mother both widened their eyes in surprise, "O... one million?!"

They were indeed mother and daughter, with the same reactions. Yang Ye smiled inwardly and said, "Would I lie to you? Do you want to check the website?"

Qin's mother and Qin Yan looked at each other, clearly not believing it. Seeing their disbelief, Yang Ye took out his phone, logged into his personal online banking, opened the account, and showed it to the mother and daughter. They were shocked again!

It was really... really one million!

The account name was Yang Ye, and the card number matched the one in his hand. The balance was more than one million, actually 1.16 million!

Qin's mother trembled as she handed the phone back to Yang Ye, her voice trembling, "Xiaoye, is this really money you made in the game? Tell me the truth, Auntie!"

Yang Ye was speechless. The older generation didn't take games seriously. He could only patiently explain, "Yes, definitely. It's all legal income, and I made it in the game!"

"Brother Xiaoye... this money... this money..."

"Yes, I plan to buy a house in Shangyuan neighborhood! But it's not enough yet. I checked, and a house there costs at least 2 million, and with renovation, it's over 3 million. Once I make that much, I'll buy a house, and you can move in too."

"Xiaoye, you..."

"Auntie, don't say so much. Do you not know me, Yang Ye?"

Qin's mother and Qin Yan looked at each other, their eyes filled with happiness and deep gratitude.

The dinner finally made Qin Yan more willing to quit her job and enter the game, and Qin's mother agreed.

In short, they were very happy.

At 9:30 PM, Yang Ye logged back in and immediately received a level 20 quest from Lilina—

【System: Lilina has issued a quest to you. Do you accept?】

What else could he say? Accept!
