Chapter 32: Head to the Monster Zone in the Western Suburbs of Hangzhou to Farm Ability Points, and
Then he laughed.
It wasn't the kind of loud, hearty laughter, but rather the kind of smile where the corners of the mouth slowly widen and the eyes slightly narrow.
If Shen Man were to see that smile, she would definitely say, "What mischief are you up to now?"
The Sands of Time, within a three-meter radius, slows down by 10% to 30%.
It may not sound like much—a 30% speed reduction means your opponent will still be able to hit you with their sword or fireball.
But Lin Yuan had killed hundreds of demons in the wasteland over the past ten days, and he understood one thing all too well.
In battle, being a fraction of a second faster or slower can mean the difference between life and death.
When a Tier 2, Level 5 runemaster condenses a ball of light, if it's 30% slower—
He didn't need to dodge that red-haired ball of light at all.
Furthermore, the Sands of Time is an area-of-effect effect, not a single-target effect.
This means that anyone entering within three meters of him, whether human or attacker, will be slowed down.
Combined with the speed advantage of lightning-based superpowers... if he's fast and others are slow, how big will the gap be?
Most importantly, this combat technique is based on time and space.
No one knew that he had a time-space ability.
Everyone thought he was an E-rank lightning type, at most with a Nine-Round Bone Tempering skill.
They are not on guard against the spacetime system, nor against this invisible "gravel".
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a thought flashing through his mind.
The Sands of Time, activate.
There was no sound, no light effects, and no changes visible to the naked eye.
But he could feel that the air within a three-meter radius around him had become a little "viscous".
This resistance was negligible to him, but for enemies entering this area, it was an invisible speed bump.
The effect will disappear automatically after five seconds, with a cooldown of thirty seconds.
The beginner-level Sands of Time slows you down by about 10% to 15%, has a range of three meters, and lasts for five seconds.
Once you get a higher proficiency level, this combat skill will have tremendous potential.
Lin Yuan leaned Zidian back against the wall and sat down cross-legged.
He glanced at the proficiency level of Thunderclap on the system panel. It was proficient (about to break through), just a little short of breaking through to "master".
Proficiency Level 6: Beginner, Proficient, Master, Grandmaster, Transcendent, Ultimate.
He's been stuck at the "proficient" stage of "Thunder Walks the Nine Heavens" for several days now.
The proficient level of Thunder Walk allows him to roam freely within the first tier, but against second-tier enemies, the power of his spear technique is somewhat insufficient.
Just a little bit more...
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then took out his phone from his storage bag, opened the official app of the Superpower Association, and searched for "Distribution of Monsters around Hangzhou".
A map pops up on the screen.
There is a hilly area on the western outskirts of Hangzhou marked as a "D-level danger zone" with a moderate density of monsters, mainly consisting of first and second-tier monsters.
It is about a 20-minute drive from the city center.
He glanced at the time—4:30 PM. There were still about two and a half hours until dark.
enough.
Lin Yuan hoisted Zidian onto his shoulder, walked out of the training room, went upstairs to change into clothes that were easier to move in, and then hailed a hover taxi at the hotel entrance.
"Master, go to the entrance of the monster zone in the western suburbs."
The driver was a woman in her forties. She glanced at him in the rearview mirror, then at the dark purple spear on his shoulder.
"Young man, going demon hunting at this hour? It's getting dark."
"I'll kill a few and come back."
The older woman shrugged, started the car, and the hovercar silently rose and glided into traffic.
......
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of an area surrounded by barbed wire.
A warning sign hung on the barbed wire fence, with yellow background and black lettering that read "Class C Danger Zone, No Entry Without Permission".
There was a small registration station at the entrance, where a middle-aged man in camouflage sat with a computer and a stack of registration forms in front of him.
Lin Yuan walked over.
"Register."
The older man looked up at him, his gaze lingering on the young man's face before turning to the Purple Lightning in his hand. His expression shifted from indifference to interest.
How big?
"eighteen."
"one person?"
"one person."
The middle-aged man paused for a second, then pushed the registration form towards him.
signature.
The exit time is written below; you must be out before dark. It's not safe here at night.
Lin Yuan signed the form and pushed it back.
The middle-aged man glanced at the autograph and suddenly asked, "You're here to take the college entrance exam, right?"
Lin Yuan paused for a moment.
"Every year before the college entrance exam, there are students who come here to cram." The uncle put away the registration form, his tone calm.
"I've seen quite a few Tier 1, Level 4 and above, and not many come alone. Most come in teams of three or five, looking out for each other. You're all alone with just a gun..."
He paused.
"Don't go too deep. Just kill a few on the outskirts."
Lin Yuan nodded, shouldered his gun, and walked into the entrance.
......
The hilly areas in the western suburbs and the wasteland in Donghai City are completely different landforms.
The hilly area of Hangzhou consists of rolling hills covered with dense broad-leaved forests and shrubs.
Monsters can hide behind any tree or in any bush.
This type of terrain demands a higher level of perception.
Lin Yuan had walked less than two hundred meters into the forest when he encountered his first monster.
A Tier 1, Level 6 Thorn Boar burst out of the bushes.
Lin Yuan sidestepped the tusks, twirled the Purple Lightning spear halfway in his hand, and pointed the tip at the foreleg joint of the thorny boar.
A flash of lightning.
With a crack, the joint shattered. The thorny boar's front legs buckled, and its entire body collapsed to the ground, sliding more than two meters away due to inertia.
It tried to struggle to its feet, but Lin Yuan's second shot had already pierced its throat.
[Defeat a Tier 1, Level 6 Thorn Boar monster, +38 Ability Points]
Clean and neat.
Lin Yuan flicked away the few drops of blood remaining on the tip of his spear and continued walking deeper into the forest.
Over the next hour or so, he encountered five more monsters.
Two Tier 1, Level 7 Green-Maned Wolves, one Tier 1, Level 6 Rock-Armored Lizard, and two Tier 1, Level 8 Iron-Spined Porcupines.
异能点进帐：38+42+38+45+45=208点。
Adding the remaining 347 points, the total is 555 points.
As dusk began to fall, Lin Yuan was preparing to finish work and head back when he suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from behind the hill on his left.
It wasn't the sound of human footsteps, but the sound of something much larger stepping on fallen leaves and withered branches.
Lin Yuan gripped Zidian tightly, tiptoed, and crept towards the source of the sound.
After crossing the small hill, he saw the monster.
Second-tier, second-level, Rock Armored Bear.
The beast was over three meters long and nearly 1.8 meters tall at the shoulder.
The rock-armored bear was digging in the dirt next to a fallen tree, it was unclear what it was digging for.
Every time the massive forefoot lands, the ground trembles.
Second-order, double-layered.
