Chapter 87 - Payment in installments for 80 years

Silver Fox almost jumped up. He hurriedly rushed in front of Lin Xuan, his eyes flickering with a long-awaited hope.

“Really… Is it really the Elemental Mage profession? This is the profession I want to get the most!”

“But… doesn’t Flame Explosion also need this profession scroll?”

“If… you… no, damn, I can’t even speak properly… I mean, can you lend it to me first? I’ll pay you in installments every month with battle merits…”

Silver Fox’s expression was a little timid.

Shield Ghost was clearly his junior and had been recruited by him to the Construction Division.

However, he now needed Shield Ghost’s help.

This change in status made him feel a little embarrassed.

Clack.

Lin Xuan placed his palm on Silver Fox’s shoulder.

“What’s our relationship? Do you really think I would ask you to pay me in installments?”

Silver Fox felt extremely warm and tears were about to fall.

A rare smile appeared on Bai Xinghe’s serious face.

Chu Pengcheng smiled even more happily.

Shield Ghost had always been an intern of the Construction Division, but he was willing to take out the precious Elemental Mage profession scroll. It was really too surprising.

Lin Xuan casually took out a piece of A4 paper from his consciousness space and wrote the IOU. At the same time, he took out a stamp.

“I’ve already prepared everything. According to the Construction Division’s conversion rate. It will cost you 500,000 battle merits. You can also give me 500 battle merits every month. It will take a total of 1,000 months, which is about 83.3 years.”

“Come, sign here and stamp here.”

Lin Xuan smiled and handed the IOU and stamp to Silver Fox.

Silver Fox’s touched face instantly froze.

Bai Xinghe had a strange expression.

Chu Pengcheng was stunned, then laughed.

Silver Fox frowned. “Are you sure I can live for another eighty years?”

Lin Xuan smiled and said, “Your son can also pay for you.”

Silver Fox: “…I see you’ve become a big capitalist now.”

“Do you want it or not?”

“Yes! If your profession scroll is real, I definitely want it!”

Silver Fox quickly signed and took the Elemental Mage scroll from Lin Xuan.

“I’ll go to the west wall!” Silver Fox shouted and ran towards the west wall.

“After I change my profession, I’ll immediately go to the east wall.” Bai Xinghe bowed slightly to Chu Pengcheng and quickened his pace towards the warehouse.

“Can Director Chu stop that Thunder Swallowing Horse?” Lin Xuan saw that the Thunder Swallowing Horse was getting closer and closer.

Chu Pengcheng laughed loudly. His SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas suddenly split open and he quickly put on a set of equipment.

It was not the usual white healer suit, but a set of soft armor that emitted a cold aura.

“Before I changed my profession to Healer, I was one of the top close combat experts in the Construction Division!”

With that said, he jumped down from the city wall.

When he landed, a spear about 1.8 meters long had already appeared in his palm. It flowed with an ice-blue light and emitted a cold aura.

Lin Xuan was silent.

He had always thought that Chu Pengcheng was a healer. He did not expect that before advancing to the Seventh Realm, he actually focused on strength.

If a healer wanted to obtain a high healing amount, they had to focus on increasing their Spirit.

In this way, the strength that Chu Pengcheng had spent previously was almost useless.

This was reality and not a game. There were no items that could help you recover the points you spent.

It was hard to imagine how many sleepless nights Chu Pengcheng had spent thinking about his original decision.

It was even harder to imagine how much effort Chu Pengcheng had spent to barely increase his Spirit attribute.

“He’s willing to sacrifice his future just to benefit the organization…”

Lin Xuan sighed.

Even after transmigrating to a new world, their faith still did not waver.

“Use your long-range skills to attack from the city wall. I’ll block those Sixth Realm demon beasts!”

Lin Xuan instructed the members of the Construction Division who had gathered around him and also jumped down like Chu Pengcheng.

The members of the Construction Division nodded and went to their posts.

Some drew their bows, some threw fireballs, some condensed poison, and some used hidden weapons. They were all doing their best to use their skills to deal with the demon beasts from afar.

Lin Xuan casually raised his shield.

Bang!

A level seven Sixth Realm demon beast collided head-on with the huge shield. Lin Xuan did not move at all. Instead, the demon beast was forced back a few steps by the backlash, and blood flowed from its forehead.

Lin Xuan stood in the center of a large number of Sixth Realm demon beasts, but he was like a reef in a huge wave, standing firm.

Not far away, Chu Pengcheng blocked the Seventh Realm demon beast, the Thunder Swallowing Horse, alone.

The spear was enchanted with frost magic. Every attack would slow down the Thunder Swallowing Horse and force it to fight him.

Every time the Thunder Swallowing Horse attacked, it would also leave a wound on Chu Pengcheng’s body.

However, every time his wounds accumulated, Chu Pengcheng would use a recovery spell on himself.

However, his recovery speed could not compare to the speed at which his health points decreased.

If this continued for a long time, Chu Pengcheng would still lose.

“How shameless.” Lin Xuan could not help but laugh.

While resisting the demon beasts, Lin Xuan did not forget the avatar he had left in the warehouse. Through the avatar’s perspective, he discovered that there were only Wen Xiong and five Fifth Realm martial artists left in the surroundings of the warehouse. Lu Luo had also rushed to the east city wall to provide support.

“I don’t suspect Lu Luo and Wen Xiong. I’ve already interacted with these people for so long and there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with them.”

“I don’t know what method the other party used to attract three Seventh Realm demon beasts and a large number of Sixth Realm demon beasts to attack Dragon Sea City. If Silver Fox didn’t have the profession scroll I gave him, he probably wouldn’t have been able to defeat the Seventh Realm demon beast on the west wall.”

“If that happened, the western city wall would be the first to be broken, and Silver Fox would have died in battle. The city would immediately fall into chaos. At that time, it would be a good time for the spies to destroy the potions.”

“However, there’s a high chance that nothing will happen now. The three Seventh Realm demon beasts will be blocked outside the city wall. If they fail to create a chaotic environment, I wonder what they will do… Will they forcefully attack?”

Lin Xuan pondered, thinking about the other party’s next plan.

At this moment, he saw a violent explosion on the east wall. A large number of houses collapsed and the civilians wailed.

“The eastern city wall has suddenly exploded! A hole has appeared in the city wall. A Sixth Realm demon beast has taken advantage of the chaos to enter the city! Residents near the eastern city wall, please evacuate immediately! Sixth Realm martial artists, please head to the eastern city wall to provide support!”

“Repeat, Sixth Realm martial artists who are able to help, please head to the east city wall to provide support!”

The broadcast sounded.

After a short hesitation, Wen Xiong quickly rushed to the eastern city wall after notifying the other five martial artists.

“So that’s how it is. They’re using civilians to cause a scene so that Wen Xiong would be forced to leave to check the situation. In this way, there are only five Fifth Realm martial artists left in the warehouse.”

“All the Sixth Realm martial artists have already arrived at the east wall, the west wall, and the north wall to provide support. It’s time for them to take action.”

Lin Xuan perked up.

As expected, under the cover of the building’s shadow, a ghostly figure quickly approached the warehouse.

He did not make a sound the entire time, like a bat flying silently in the night.
