Chapter 41

After bidding farewell to the night sail, Li Huailin quickly logged off. He didn't plan to log back in that evening. Although this stage was a golden period for other players to level up and widen the gap, it wasn't difficult for him to level up. Moreover, the +280% all-attribute buff made him almost invincible, as he couldn't die no matter what.

However, Li Huailin eventually came to terms with the fact that this attribute was actually beneficial to him. Taking advantage of his seemingly invincible state, he could do some preparatory work to help his future leveling. For example, he could earn some money now, so he would have enough to buy health potions later. Or he could tackle some dungeons that were currently beyond his level, to get some equipment to sell or obtain some useful skill books. In short, he would find something to do these few days, even if it meant taking on quests that would deduct his experience, as he could easily make up for it later.

While thinking, Li Huailin started writing down some information about the Snake Cave dungeon on his computer. Since he wasn't good at writing, the content was a bit disjointed, but the key points were still clear, even if it was a bit hard to read.

After writing about 1,000 words, Li Huailin ran out of things to say. Since he was just completing a task, he named the file "Night Sail" and sent it to the Night Sail's email.

Having settled the matters in the spirit realm, Li Huailin checked the official website of Tianyu Company. There were no updates, just the usual information. He then checked the forum, which was bustling with activity, especially regarding his successful completion of the Abyssal dungeon. It was a prominently featured post, and Li Huailin was almost becoming a regular top-poster.

Of course, this top post contained no video files. Li Huailin still didn't know where the recording button was, and the girls hadn't recorded anything either. The post only contained a player's account of how they saw Li Huailin arrogantly kill someone and then announce his intention to clear the Abyssal dungeon, which he did. The post concluded with the player's opinion: clearing the Abyssal dungeon at this stage was almost impossible, and Li Huailin must have used some special means.

Li Huailin felt a bit scared after reading it. Although he had been impressive, he had indeed been a bit too arrogant. Since he had logged in illegally, who knew what might happen if he was caught. However, he found it a bit strange that Tianyu Company had never responded to these matters.

"Looks like I can't be so arrogant in the future," Li Huailin thought. He needed to be more careful when causing trouble, letting others kill him if necessary, so that people wouldn't doubt what had happened. He had never considered the idea of not causing trouble at all.

He continued browsing the forum, looking for posts about making money. Li Huailin wanted to earn money, whether in-game currency or real-life money, the more the better. Taking advantage of his current overpowered attributes, he wanted to find some ways to make money.

"Deed?"

A particular item caught Li Huailin's attention. He couldn't ignore it because he found that a large guild was offering 300 gold to buy a deed. 300 gold was an insane price; even a guild with thousands of members would find it difficult to come up with that much at once.

"What could be so valuable?" Li Huailin quickly used the forum's search function to look up "deed" and found very little information, only a dozen or so posts mentioning it.

Li Huailin quickly read through all the posts and gathered the following information: In the commercial district of the main city, Divine Blessing City, there was a special area reserved for player shops. The number of shops was limited, and those who got there first could choose the prime locations, giving them a significant advantage.

There were two ways to acquire a shop: the first was to get a deed, and the second was to be ennobled. However, ennoblement required military merit and reputation points, which were impossible to obtain at this stage since the battlefield hadn't opened yet. Therefore, the only way was to get a deed.

However, players had only heard that buying property required a deed, but no one knew where to get one. It was unclear whether deeds dropped from chests, quests, or bosses. The reserved area in the commercial district had no player shops yet, and all the spaces were still empty.

"300 gold, if I get one, I'll be invincible. I'll just drink health potions like tea from now on," Li Huailin said with bright eyes. "But if they're willing to pay 300 gold, the future value of this thing must be more than 300 gold. I wonder how much I could make..."

At this moment, Li Huailin suddenly thought of Hongchen Yanyu. She could probably analyze a lot of things for him. Professional matters should be handled by professionals. Li Huailin decided to ask her the next day, since he had already taken her through the dungeon twice, and she wouldn't refuse him such a favor.

With his mind made up, and seeing that it was getting late, Li Huailin went to sleep. On this night when all gamers were too shocked to sleep, Li Huailin slept unusually soundly.

The next day, Li Huailin woke up early as usual, ate some junk food, and quickly logged in.

"Huailin, you're up early," said the guild leader, Red Moon, in the guild channel as soon as Li Huailin appeared in the tavern where he had logged out the previous day. Since the guild channel showed who was online, Li Huailin wasn't sure if Red Moon had been waiting for him or just checking the guild's status.

"Guild leader, you were too ruthless, selling me out without a word yesterday," Li Huailin replied in the guild channel.

"I call it shedding tears to abandon a teammate. Your sacrifice was very valuable. Look, we managed to retreat smoothly," Red Moon seemed to be in a good mood and continued joking.

"Yeah, yeah, after you said that, I suddenly felt my image grew taller," Li Huailin laughed and replied.

"Oh, Huailin, you're online," said Second Sister Red Blood Seal in the guild channel, "By the way, I sold the potions you gave me and made a fortune. Do you want them? If not, they're mine."

"Hehe, I'll wait for you in the tavern in the commercial district," Li Huailin wasn't worried that Red Blood Seal would take his money; she was clearly teasing him, and he wouldn't let her get away with it.

"Tsk, wait for me, I'll be right there," Red Blood Seal said with a hint of disappointment.

"By the way, is Yanyu around?" Li Huailin suddenly remembered he wanted to ask Yanyu about the deed and said in the guild channel.

"What's up?" Hongchen Yanyu replied without much emotion.

"Oh, you're here, great. Do you have time? I have some questions for you," Li Huailin said.

"Oh, so you need my help? That's rare," Yanyu suddenly raised her voice, sounding surprised.

"Hey, I took you through the dungeon yesterday. Consider it a favor returned," Li Huailin quickly said.

"Um... okay, I'll go with Second Sister," Hongchen Yanyu thought for a moment and said.

"Alright."

"Actually, I'll come too," the guild leader, Red Moon, added, "Since everyone's here, I have something to discuss. Let's have a small meeting."

"Hehe... don't even think about it..."

"Shui'er is sleeping, she's not online," Hongchen Yanyu replied.

"Then let's get the meeting started! We need to finish quickly, I have something urgent to do later!" Li Huailin said immediately.
