Chapter 27 Soul Cultivation, Hidden Profession!

A three-million-yuan IOU.

Lin Chen acted without hesitation.

To be honest, Bai Shuyi couldn't quite understand this operation.

After leaving in the car, Bai Shuyi asked while driving, "Just for that slap, you're really going to pay them an extra million?"

"How could that be?"

Lin Chen chuckled.

The Ye brothers wouldn't get a single penny of that money.

Nor would Lin Chen welsh on the debt.

Because it wasn't necessary.

Ye TengHu and Ye TengLong had already sold their game accounts.

When Lin Chen finished recording the show and returned from Jingcheng, the whole world would undergo a massive change.

In a world invaded by the game, two ordinary people who hadn't inherited any game abilities would probably become monster fodder without Lin Chen even lifting a finger.

Lin Chen felt no pressure about not repaying the money.

Over the years, many families had been ruined because they borrowed money from Ye TengHu.

Why should Lin Chen feel any pressure?

"Just wait and see."

Lin Chen didn't explain too much to Bai Shuyi.

The car arrived at Longhai TV Station.

"Then I'll go back first," Bai Shuyi said as Lin Chen was about to get out of the car.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "I estimate this trip will take a week, at least until the 27th before I can come back. It'll probably be boring for you to stay in Longhai alone. I suggest you go home and just say school's out. After all, you saw just now that the Ye TengHu brothers are not to be trifled with. I can't guarantee your safety while I'm not here."

He made an excuse to send Bai Shuyi home.

Lin Chen calculated the time.

By the time he came back from this trip, the game would have invaded the real world.

Bai Shuyi's parents were getting old, and he didn't know if they had game accounts.

Sending Bai Shuyi home at this time meant that her parents and family would at least have some protection when that moment truly arrived.

And not just Bai Shuyi.

In fact, when Liu Mengyao heard that Lin Chen was going to Jingcheng, she said that she could also ask for leave from school and go to Jingcheng to play, but Lin Chen refused and told her to stay home with her family.

"Okay, then I'll go home and play for a few days."

Bai Shuyi had no objection to Lin Chen's suggestion.

She came to Longhai because of Lin Chen in the first place.

Besides helping Xue Mo and getting information from Lin Chen, her father's health had been poor recently. Bai Shuyi had used this school in Longhai as a stepping stone to transfer back to her hometown to study.

That way, she could go back and take care of her ailing father at any time.

Bai Shuyi had told Lin Chen about this matter. Regarding Bai Shuyi's father's illness, Lin Chen remembered that the game's invasion of reality didn't bring only disasters.

There were also benefits!

And one of the benefits was that all human diseases on Blue Star disappeared!

Even paralyzed people could walk.

Blind people could see.

Severed limbs could be regenerated!

Cancer disappeared without a trace.

Obviously, this was a little unscientific… very unscientific!

It was more like a strange power, a magical energy.

It was very much in line with the settings of the game world.

However, Lin Chen couldn't determine what caused all of this.

For example, the latest soul cultivation system launched in the game.

It looked very mysterious.

But was it really that mysterious?

In Blue Star's Dragon Country, great sages had proposed the concept of soul cultivation as early as ancient times...

In addition, the opening of the cultivation system brought a major change!

Originally, in the "New World" game, players had a hunger system. Once the hunger value was below 70, their attributes would be reduced. Below 30, they would enter a state of weakness, and all kinds of physical resistances would be reduced, and the effects of negative states might be prolonged, etc...

Once the hunger value was below 10, there was a risk of death at any time!

However, after entering soul cultivation, players could use the energy of soul cultivation to obtain satiety. In other words, you could go a month without eating those delicacies in the game.

Even a year was fine!

In addition, the method of soul cultivation also gave birth to a new currency in the game...

Soul crystals!

This was a necessity and a consumable for soul cultivation.

Because soul cultivation was a continuous process that required constant consumption of soul crystals, this made the value of soul crystals extremely precious, enough to replace the status of gold coins.

And in the "New World" game, the major deities, holy lands, countries, races, and even the demon caves all opened gold coin exchange for soul crystals as soon as the soul cultivation system was launched.

An ordinary soul crystal was equal to ten thousand gold coins.

A medium soul crystal was equal to one hundred thousand gold coins!

A high-grade soul crystal was equal to one million gold coins!

A top-grade soul crystal was equal to ten million gold coins!

A dazzling soul crystal was equal to one hundred million gold coins!

Very expensive!

From this, the value of soul crystals could be seen.

Lin Chen definitely had to store these.

However, Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry. He first asked Zhang Chunlin to collect gold coins and try to collect all the gold coins on the market!

A very simple principle: players had to use gold coins to exchange for soul crystals.

There were so many forces and races in the game, and the soul crystals they had in reserve were enough for everyone to exchange, so Lin Chen only needed to monopolize the gold coins. After receiving enough gold coins, he could exchange them however he wanted!

Lin Chen now had over a trillion gold coins in the game!

But that wasn't enough.

That was only a thousand dazzling soul crystals.

Of course, in the game, this was a huge fortune.

Even richer than many small countries and races.

But in Lin Chen's opinion, it wasn't enough. He wanted more!

Anyway, now the ratio of game coins to real currency had fallen from one-to-one to one-hundred-thousand-to-one. According to this ratio, Lin Chen had spent more than one million on gold coins.

He could still collect a lot!

Lin Chen's plan was to reserve at least:

Ten thousand dazzling soul crystals.

One hundred thousand top-grade soul crystals.

One million high-grade soul crystals.

Ten million medium soul crystals.

One hundred million ordinary soul crystals!

Calculating it this way, Lin Chen still needed a lot of funds.

He was still short about twenty to thirty million.

A big gap!

However, Lin Chen still had a few days left. He could earn some money by going on the show, but the main source would be Kuaiyin. If it really didn't work out, he would ask Bai Shuyi and Liu Mengyao to invest some.

The TV station's program team sent an assistant to receive Lin Chen.

No one else.

After all, although Lin Chen was popular now, it was still black popularity. He wasn't a big shot. In this realistic society, he was just an ordinary person who had suddenly become popular.

Next, Lin Chen had his makeup done as usual.

An hour later, Lin Chen passed the audition.

Then he came to the studio. The beautiful host Xiao Xiao received Lin Chen generously in a business suit, and then started her introduction, followed by an interview with Lin Chen...

The recording of the program wasn't very smooth.

Because some of Lin Chen's words shocked the entire program team.

The recording was even suspended at one point.

The director directly communicated with Lin Chen, but Lin Chen still insisted.

"You're shouting at the Dragon Country military on our show. I'm just afraid..."

"Don't worry, Director!"

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "What if the dream I had comes true? With the current prices in the 'New World' game, even if the military invests a lot of resources, it won't cost much money at all."

"This isn't about money!" The director was very embarrassed. He said, "Although your dream, including the things you said, shocked us, what about after the shock? It's just your dream. Everyone will just listen to it as a joke!"

"In that case, what are you afraid of? Anyway, this is my personal statement, and I'll be responsible for it in the end! Furthermore, if the military really listens to me and the scene I dreamed of doesn't come true, do you think the military will actively disclose that they were tricked and let the whole world laugh at them?"

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Director, please rest assured, my remarks are safe!"

"Okay, since you insist so much, then I need to add a line to Xiao Xiao's script saying that these are your personal remarks and have nothing to do with us, how about that?" In the end, the director was still compromised by Lin Chen's persistence.

However, he didn't want to take responsibility.

So he thought of such a solution.

"Okay, whatever you want!"

Lin Chen didn't care.

Take responsibility?

He wasn't afraid!

Once the game descended into reality, who would dare to hold him accountable?

In terms of combat power, Lin Chen was already a unique existence in the game.

As for financial resources, Lin Chen was nothing in reality.

However, Lin Chen's share of the wealth in the game a few days later would exceed 50% of the entire game, or even more!

After completing the recording of the "Contemporary Youth" program, Lin Chen packed his luggage.

...

Longhai City, waiting hall, Lin Chen took out his phone and looked at the time.

April 22nd.

Afternoon, 4:20 PM.

Only six days left until the game invades reality...

No, it was five days!

Today was about to pass.

The plane was still two hours away.

Lin Chen sent a message to Liu Mengyao, then took out his game helmet and put it on.

He went online and played for a while, and clicked on his daily soul cultivation.

With Lin Chen's current status in the game, soul cultivation was definitely done with dazzling soul crystals, and Lin Chen also led the soul cultivation leaderboard with his second-tier cultivation base!

Soul cultivation could increase attribute values.

In addition, Lin Chen could now open the Supreme Treasure Box.

He opened three sets of pet equipment, and the attributes of his three war pets were also increased.

Lin Chen could even solo the Nantianmen (South Heaven Gate) dungeon now!

His spell attack power had also broken through 100,000!

Then, Lin Chen's gaze turned to the rewards of the Heavenly Palace Riot dungeon...

Hidden Class Certificate: Sky Walker!

[Sky Walker: Unrestrained, free-spirited, and carefree, that is the Sky Walker! After changing your class to Sky Walker, you will become an all-around warrior and mage. Whether ranged or melee, you will be able to handle any battle with ease!]

Lin Chen didn't get a hidden class with wind magic attributes.

However, he got the most balanced but also the most difficult class in the "New World" game.

At the same time, it was also an extremely powerful class!
