Chapter 56

Yang Ye naturally shook his head and said no, how could he admit it? The other guild leaders wouldn't believe it! However, they were all kind enough not to expose him.

After some thought, he changed his position, ran to the back room of the shop, and returned to the shop interface. He changed the name, and the other attributes didn't need to be modified. He just needed to put in some items, and the shop could start operating.

But the problem was the items!

Yang Ye's shop wasn't "official." He had obtained it early from an NPC, much earlier than other players, so there were many restrictions.

One of the rules regarding items was that before Yang Ye officially obtained the shop, he could only sell 100 pieces of equipment per day, and only 2,000 red and blue potions per day. Other items also had limits, which made Yang Ye lose interest.

However, having something was better than nothing, and it would be his after completing the task in the future.

He ran to the nearby trading hall and picked out dozens of level 1 equipment. There was no choice; good equipment was scarce, and the supply couldn't meet the demand. The prices on the auction were not low.

He attached appropriate attributes and placed them on the shelves and display windows, which were used to display the items. Players could directly check the attributes and effects. Then he bought a scroll to make HP recovery potions, learned it, bought some materials, and made 2,000 potions.

Speaking of making potions, probably no one could make more money than Yang Ye. He always made the maximum number, while others might make two bottles at a time, and with good luck, four bottles. Yang Ye could make five bottles at a time.

If not for the damn restrictions, he could make millions of bottles, sell them at a low price, and make a fortune. However, the time required would be beyond what most people could endure.

He continued to set up the hired employees and then exited the interface. It was fortunate that he had smartly moved to the back room of the shop; otherwise, he would have been discovered by the increasing number of players outside.

He took out a return scroll and used it, and a flash of light appeared, bringing him to the eastern part of Yuluo City.

He called up the communicator and sent a voice message to Taozi —

"Taozi, task, are you coming?"

"What task? Oh, damn, wait a moment, I have something to deal with!" Taozi suddenly shouted.

"What happened? Are you surrounded again?" Yang Ye asked.

"Nothing, nothing, it's just that Yanzhi Tomb is always causing trouble for me. Today, I just retaliated a little..." Taozi laughed. Today, they coincidentally met on the way to level up, and Taozi took the initiative to attack, catching Yanzhi Tomb off guard.

"Damn, are you coming or not?" Yang Ye didn't want to listen to their love-hate relationship and said directly.

"Okay, okay, give me the coordinates, wait a moment, I'll talk to Yanzhi Tomb." Then, he hung up the call.

Yang Ye enjoyed Lilianna's leg massage while waiting for Taozi. After a while, Taozi finally arrived, followed by Yanzhi Tomb.

Before they got close, he heard their amusing conversation —

"Yanzhi, I told you, it's really Noyan who invited me for the task. Look, he's right there, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Taozi said to Yanzhi Tomb.

Yanzhi Tomb's face turned serious, and he remained silent.

"How can you not trust me? We've been friends for so many years, haven't we?"

"You've lied to me so many times..." Yanzhi Tomb raised his eyebrows.

"Anyway, Noyan is right there. Let's go and ask him, and you'll know."

Looking at the two approaching, Yang Ye didn't know what to say. Yanzhi Tomb spoke first.

"Hello, Noyan. Goodbye, Noyan. Noyan, give me back my Spirit Ghost Pearl."

"Sure, let's have a PK. If I win, I'll definitely give it back to you." Yang Ye raised his sword and scanned Yanzhi Tomb, noting two pieces of gold equipment, which were quite good.

Yanzhi Tomb remained silent. He didn't want to PK with Noyan yet, as he still hadn't figured out the skill from their last encounter. However, he believed Taozi's words and left alone.

"Gay." Yang Ye called out.

Taozi ignored him, remaining calm.

"Gay?" Yang Ye called again.

Taozi still didn't react, his eyes wandering.

"I eat Taozi is gay!" Yang Ye shouted loudly.

This time, Taozi finally reacted, jumping up in anger: "Who are you calling gay? Who? You are gay, your whole family is!"

"Ha ha ha, let's go, task time."

...

Following the miner's hat, they easily found the location and activated the Abyssal Rift Expansion Scroll.

The scroll released a large amount of black energy, continuously impacting a certain area, forcing its way in. The rift emitted a faint light, like dust spreading out — these were spatial fragments, extremely small spatial fragments.

This wasn't some cheap decoration like "I eat Taozi," but something that could kill you with a single touch!

The rift, initially invisible, gradually became visible, then expanded to the size of a fist, then an arm, and finally to the height of a person before stopping. The black energy in the scroll was completely consumed, and it flew back to Yang Ye's backpack.

"Go!" Yang Ye shouted, leading Lilianna into the rift.

The scene changed, and they found themselves in a magical place —

[System: You have entered the Abyssal Rift. This is the domain of the Abyssal Eye of Sin. Please proceed with caution!]

This is it.

Yang Ye looked around. This space was truly magical, with no buildings or roads. The ground was transparent, like extremely clear glass, and below was the entire Dragon City and its surrounding ten cities.

So, this is in the sky?

"Noyan, which way? There are no signs, it's like walking in a desert." Taozi asked.

"Follow me." Yang Ye looked at the virtual line above, which clearly marked the direction and distance to the Abyssal Eye of Sin.

The three took a few steps forward, and the space began to ripple, and many strange things appeared —

[System: Rift Patrollers have been dispatched to eliminate intruders. Please prepare for battle!]

These flying small eyeballs are Rift Patrollers?

Well, whether they are or not, they will become experience and help me ascend!

"No tricks, just brute force!" Yang Ye shouted, using the Royal Slash technique, which turned him into a blur, reappearing in front of the Rift Patroller.

Rift Patroller (Normal Level)

Level: 34

HP: 150,000/150,000

...

Skills:

Speed Patrol: Beep beep beep... Patrol time! Use energy to increase movement speed by 50% for 30 seconds, with a 2-minute cooldown.

Electric Interference: Crack crack crack! The Rift Patroller gathers energy and releases lightning from its pupil, hitting the first enemy in a straight line. The skill creates a chain effect, targeting another enemy within a certain distance.

Description: A small creature wandering in the Abyssal Rift, assimilated by the Abyssal Eye of Sin and turned into its puppet.

(Hidden: Drops Rift Patroller Core Fragments; collect 20 cores to have Barthen the Blacksmith make a Rift Patroller Core)

Rift Patroller Core? What is it? No matter what, let's see what it drops first!

He raised his sword and struck —

2008! (The monster's physical defense is set to 1500)

Good, the defense is quite high! How about this move —

Royal Slash: Break!

3251!

Much higher, indeed, having a skill is great!

"Low defense, pull them, and we'll clear them in a group!" Yang Ye shouted.

Taozi understood, activating Spatial Cut and moving away to pull the monsters. Lilianna stood there, clearly not understanding what "group clear" meant.

"Lilianna, come help me!" Yang Ye called out helplessly.

"Um, Lilianna is coming!" Lilianna heard Yang Ye's reminder, stretched out her hand, and the particles flew. The deadly Sasquatch technology sword glinted, and the gears spun.

Lilianna's attributes had improved, and although her equipment wasn't complete, her attributes far exceeded those of players. Ordinary players would definitely be taken down by Lilianna in two strikes, and her attack power and attributes lived up to the title of "Weapon Girl"...

She was just a bit stupid.

"Yah, brother, move aside, Lilianna is going to cut him down!" Lilianna shouted, swinging the technology sword at Yang Ye's face.

Yang Ye calmly stepped back, using gravity manipulation to pull the monster back to his original position, which was also under Lilianna's sword. This was clearly a well-practiced move...

The two "cooperated" to quickly take down a monster, and Taozi was already dragging a large group of patrollers over.

Yang Ye used the Royal Slash technique to engage most of them, taking the hate and relying on his own bloodsucking, high damage, high defense, and high health to hold them off.

After more than two hours, they finally cleared all the monsters, but unfortunately, they only obtained 14 core fragments, so the rest must be further ahead.

"Done, let's keep moving forward!"

They continued along the path indicated by the miner's hat. This time, they walked for a long time without encountering any monsters. Taozi kept asking if they were going the wrong way, but Yang Ye shook his head, as the distance shown by the miner's hat was decreasing.

They patiently continued forward, with nothing to see around them. The Dragon City and other cities below remained still, which was quite strange.

Just as their doubts grew, suddenly, the space began to tremble violently. Not far ahead, electric sparks crackled, and a black rift suddenly split open. A huge, rotten eyeball without a pupil squeezed out and slowly floated toward them, dripping pus as it went, which sizzled and spread, emitting a foul odor...

Yang Ye's face remained unchanged, as did Taozi's, but Lilianna covered her mouth, about to vomit.

The eyeball floated closer and stopped not far away.

The pale, bloodshot eyeball turned, seemingly observing them. After a while, a weak, old voice came from the eyeball —

"You, are you here to disturb the Great Eye of Sin? If so, I advise you to leave quickly. If not..." The voice paused, then turned harsh: "I will make you die more miserably than me!!"
