CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 77: IT FEELS LIKE I’M STRAYING FURTHER DOWN A STRANGE PATH

Seeing this prompt appear, Lin Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he wasn’t made of iron, and naturally, he couldn’t really endure three days and nights of uninterrupted battles.

The only chance for Lin Ye to rest was when he was about to reach his limits, casting a ’Holy Light Feather’ to clear the field, while also blasting away those ten Disaster Teleportation Gates in the distance!

These teleportation gates can be destroyed; this isn’t some unknown fact.

Some professionals even attempt to focus their strength and destroy a few teleportation gates at the beginning of a battle when the number of monsters isn’t overwhelming, to ease the upcoming pressures.

This is also the conventional strategy for this Secret Realm.

But someone like Lin Ye, who directly destroyed ten teleportation gates at once, is indeed unprecedented!

Of course, the destruction of the Disaster Teleportation Gates doesn’t mean the end of the Secret Realm, because after half an hour, these gates will reappear.

But this extra half hour is enough for the professionals on the battlefield to restore their conditions to peak!

"Half an hour! Great, we can finally take a break..."

"It feels like every step has been meticulously planned by Lin Ye."

"It’s truly ingenious! I was worried that everyone wouldn’t hold on, but now it seems my worry was unnecessary!"

"I didn’t choose wrongly this time! Being able to run a Secret Realm with Lin Ye is truly worthwhile in my life!"

The professionals who had just been through a major battle were filled with joy!

This kind of battle strategy was something they hadn’t experienced before!

The feeling of having no worries, even with a healer treating one-on-one, couldn’t be achieved before.

Such a battle was really exhilarating.

"Everyone rest quickly; we have to continue fighting in half an hour!" Lin Ye instructed, then sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and meditated.

With his powerful attributes, Lin Ye didn’t actually need to rest yet.

He only used the Holy Light Feather because if he didn’t, the other team members might not hold on, so he used it decisively.

Others did not dare to slack off at this time and immediately rested as Lin Ye instructed.

...

The next battle continued almost identically, in a cycle of one hour of fighting and half-hour resting.

Soon, it was nighttime.

Lin Ye once again used the Holy Light Feather to blast those ten teleportation gates, ushering in another half-hour rest period.

This time, the thirty-three professionals who had been fighting with him almost all day finally couldn’t hold on. As Lin Ye’s magic staff glowed, they all collapsed...

Not even waiting for those ghouls to be eliminated, or the teleportation gates to be blown up.

Fatigue and thirst left them exhausted, utterly unable to fight anymore, clearly reaching their limits.

This time, a mere half-hour rest wouldn’t be enough for them to recover.

Looking at the professionals lying all around, Lin Ye’s lips curled into a smirk.

Achieving an S-Class rating is not easily done...

"Get into the city first, it’s time for your shift!" Lin Ye weaved through the scattered professionals, heading toward the city gate.

Hearing this, the professionals who had just laid down struggled to stand and followed Lin Ye into the town.

Once Lin Ye led the warriors into the city, the other professionals, and all the town’s residents, were waiting for them.

The crowd erupted into enthusiastic cheers!

Even though everyone knew the battle was far from over, Lin Ye brought hope to the town’s residents!

Their gaze toward Lin Ye had already transformed from initial awe into full-blown admiration!

Even several children mimicked Lin Ye, using strange masks to cover their faces, wielding a wooden stick as a magic staff, playing cosplay.

"So amazing! So resilient!"

Lin Maofeng stepped forward, overly excited!

As a soldier, witnessing such a battle scene was simply boiling with excitement!

He couldn’t wait to join Lin Ye on the battlefield!

But unfortunately, according to Lin Ye’s arrangement, the team he led would be the last to take the field.

"Thanks to everyone today, take this food and share it. Especially Huo Ting, it’s time for your team to go out! Eat and drink well!"

Lin Ye touched his spatial bag at his waist, and in front of him, a large stack of neatly arranged food appeared.

There were small cakes, jerky, chocolate, and other things...

"Are these the professional adventurer combat rations? Rumor has it that their energy density and taste are beyond ordinary food!"

"Wow, this small cake costs a thousand, enough to sustain a Level 10 professional for a whole day’s energy consumption."

"Oh my, all high-end goods I usually can’t afford..."

These are more like potions in the shape of food rather than actual food, specifically for professional use, with high energy density. Though it wouldn’t necessarily kill an ordinary person if consumed, one would feel uncomfortable for days.

The vast majority of on-site professionals couldn’t afford such specialized food.

No one expected Lin Ye to bring out so much at once!

Indeed, the value of this food is already relatively high, but the value of a spatial bag capable of holding this food is even more terrifying!

This amount of food took up three cubic spaces, enough to fulfill the energy needs of a hundred professionals for an entire day.

However, to store so much material, Lin Ye’s spatial bag must at least be four cubes...

But that’s clearly impossible because Lin Ye couldn’t use three-quarters of its space for food.

So, it’s almost certain that Lin Ye’s spatial bag is eight cubes!

That’s high-end stuff worth tens of millions!

Having an eight-cube spatial bag and using nearly three cubes for food can be somewhat abstract.

Does Lin Ye eat that much?

"This is everyone’s food for today!"

Lin Ye paused slightly and continued, "I’ll replenish the food for everyone tomorrow night, so there’s no need to worry about food issues!"

He made the other professionals hand over their food to the residents, not only to prevent residents from hoarding food but also for ease of management.

If these inexperienced professionals managed the food, they might consume three days’ worth of food in a single day.

To avoid such a situation, Lin Ye had them hand over their food and then provided food out of his pocket.

After all, the cost was just about a hundred thousand. Spending a bit to hire ninety-nine extremely obedient henchmen to help him achieve a perfect clear of the Secret Realm was a bargain.

Those rich second generations pay millions in cash, hiring people to grind this cursed Secret Realm.

Otherwise, who would willingly spend three days and nights grinding this damned Secret Realm?

And Lin Ye only spent ten thousand yuan worth of food on these guys.

Not to mention, Lin Ye had gained a lot of attributes, Spiritual Essence, and more from them!

But...

Evasion Enhancement (C-level), Abundant Physical Energy (C-level), Shield Mastery (B-level), Dual-wielding Enhancement (B-level), Hand-to-Hand Master (A-level)...

Looking at these talents he acquired, Lin Ye felt like he was going further and further down a strange path.

Why the hell hadn’t he acquired a single Magic Talent?
