Chen Ping thought for a moment and explained:
"King of Soldiers is the class after a sharpshooter advances to, with the core skill being: Soldier Soul."
With a hint of melancholy in his eyes, he said:
"Five years ago, when I was completing the job change quest, I was ambushed and failed. I lost my job change qualification and my level was stuck at level 30 forever. My path forward was blocked."
He paused for a moment before continuing his explanation:
"The token is the only known treasure that can continue the journey. The King of Soldiers Token will allow me to successfully become a King of Soldiers. I have been searching for it all these years."
Lin Yu nodded. He had gleaned some information from the brief conversation between Chen Ping and Yu Wenqing earlier, and now he understood it completely.
It's clear that the failure of the job transfer mission was a huge blow to Chen Ping, to the point that he has been depressed for years and hasn't even gone home.
At the same time, it can be seen that Chen Ping has an insatiable desire for the King of Soldiers token. Putting himself in Lin Yu's shoes, if he lost the opportunity to become stronger, he would naturally also yearn to become stronger again.
Lin Yu did not try to dissuade him, but instead offered his blessings:
"Old Chen, I hope your wish comes true, I wish you all the best on your journey, and I look forward to meeting you at the summit!"
Chen Ping smirked, but seeing Lin Yu's sincere expression, he didn't mind the nickname "Old Chen".
Chen Ping bought a ticket on the spot, boarded the plane, and the two parted ways.
Lin Yu was about to return to his residence when Zhao Daqiang called:
"Lin Yu, Sun Qianqian and I plan to spend a couple of days in Hangzhou. Let's grab a bite to eat sometime."
Lin Yu readily agreed, saying he would treat everyone to a meal, and that the two of them would have been able to easily subdue Liu Haoran this time.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yu called on his good friend Gao Yang, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.
Without saying a word, Gao Yang took a car and rushed over. Unlike his previous depression and low spirits, he now had a rosy complexion and looked refreshed.
The group met outside a hotel. Lin Yu greeted them warmly and casually asked:
What grade are you in?
The faces of the group turned dark.
Sun Qianqian said hesitantly, "Level 6."
Zhao Daqiang nodded: "I'm also at level 6."
Gao Yang was embarrassed: "Um, I'm one grade lower than you guys."
Lin Yu smiled slightly: "Don't feel too much pressure. I'm only five or six levels higher than you."
None of them wanted to speak anymore.
Lin Yu waved and led the group into the dining area.
One after another, sumptuous dishes were served, and the group raised their glasses in a toast.
Gao Yang chatted with Zhao Daqiang and Sun Qianqian in a very familiar manner, sharing his insights on upgrading, and laughter filled their private room.
The group chatted happily and felt like they had known each other for a long time. Gao Yang asked the two for their contact information, saying that they could keep in touch in the future.
Lin Yu simply added him to the group chat as well.
"Let's give our group chat a name," Gao Yang said.
Zhao Daqiang immediately suggested, "How about we call it the Firefighting Gang Communication Group?"
Sun Qianqian glanced at him sideways: "Not very good."
It was time for Lin Yu to make a suggestion: "How about we create a repairman's chat group?"
The group looked over together, and Sun Qianqian said, "I think the Fire Extinguishing Gang's communication group is pretty good."
Gao Yang nodded in agreement, and Zhao Daqiang raised both hands in support:
"Once a member of the Heavenly Fire Gang, always a member of the Heavenly Fire Gang."
Then, as if showing off, he whispered to Gao Yang:
"I am now the Left Protector of the Skyfire Gang, holding a high position and great power."
Gao Yang, feeling snubbed, quickly winked at Lin Yu, as if to say, "Aren't you going to give me a position too?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment and then offered him the position of elder.
Gao Yang immediately became smug: "Isn't the Elder even more powerful and influential than the Protector?"
Zhao Daqiang protested, shouting that he also wanted to be an elder.
Lin Yu was speechless, and promoted him and Sun Qianqian to elders as well.
The dinner ended an hour later. During the meal, Lin Yu told the group about the secret desert island and asked if they were interested in going there.
They were already key members of the Fire Extinguishing Gang, so Lin Yu had no need to hide it from them.
If possible, he would naturally hope that the others could also enter the secret realm, after all, it was a rare opportunity.
At the same time, Lin Yu also informed them of the price for entering the secret realm, and whether or not to enter was entirely up to them.
Gao Yang said he would go without even thinking about it. How could he let such a great opportunity pass him by?
As for the cost, Gao Yang didn't care. As a native of Hangzhou, the thought of standing up to defend the city when monsters attacked was exhilarating.
Sun Qianqian and Zhao Daqiang, however, did not plan to go.
The two stated that their current strength is too weak, and if they were to participate in the battle to defend Hangzhou, the outcome would likely be tragic. Moreover, they are not from Hangzhou and have no sense of belonging to the city.
Lin Yu respects their choice.
Lin Yu sent a text message to Yu Wenqing, hoping that he could provide another spot.
Yu Wenqing: "Okay, I'll go ask for you right away."
A few minutes later, he replied, "Okay."
Lin Yu was relieved, and Gao Yang was overjoyed.
After some more casual conversation, the topic of the Demon Wolf Guild came up, and Sun Qianqian said solemnly:
"Although Liu Haoran has been executed, this may not be the end of it. We must be careful of retaliation from the Demon Wolf Guild, especially its leader, who is said to be vindictive."
The group nodded, not too worried, thinking that they probably wouldn't dare to do anything reckless in the short term.
Even so, the group still made a careful agreement to stay in touch and inform each other promptly if anything changed.
After the dinner ended, Gao Yang didn't want to waste a moment and went straight into the dungeon. He wanted to level up as much as possible within the next three days.
Zhao Daqiang invited Lin Yu to accompany them on a tour of Hangzhou, visiting famous historical sites and sightseeing, and incidentally, to find a monster-infested area for some hunting.
