Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 169 Second Transformation
Mo Lingyun imagined the banquet scene that was about to begin—[Powerful demons played the roles of the upper class in Wangyue City, toasting each other, and Lin Hanchuan not only had to mingle among them, but also had to distinguish their true identities.]

If even one demon notices Lin Hanchuan's abnormality, he's finished. Not just dead, but he won't have a place to stand in the entire Wangyue City.

"Old Lin, you're walking a tightrope!" Mo Lingyun reminded him.

"Just be bold and careful!" Lin Hanchuan said nonchalantly. "I'm not good at managing forces or business, but improving personal combat power is more or less in line with my expertise."

Lin Hanchuan was full of anticipation for the banquet.

If you can get help from the old oak tree to identify all the demons that appear, you should be able to complete the C-rank hidden quest.

Judging from the timeline, the quest hasn't been up for very long. It's normal for a hidden quest to take several months to complete in the game.

But Lin Hanchuan really couldn't wait.

At this time tomorrow, the new players who have just joined Wangyue City will flood into the city from the various newbie villages like a tide, and soon the city will be full of players.

Among them are definitely groups of forces from other regions, top-tier players, and plenty of wealthy whales.

They wanted to keep these people under control.

Reputation alone is far from enough.

It requires strength.

Only by demonstrating absolute strength and showing them who truly holds power in this city can we win their hearts and minds and get them to cooperate in making Wangyue City bigger and stronger.

Hidden quests related to demons are also an excellent way to obtain rare items, so Lin Hanchuan naturally wanted to complete them as soon as possible.

"Alright! Be careful!" Mo Lingyun nodded.

As the saying goes, "every profession has its own secrets," and rapidly improving one's personal combat power is indeed Lin Hanchuan's forte. In the entire mortal realm, there are very few who can rival him in this aspect.

In the first server, Lin Hanchuan, who was a year behind the top players, only took two years to not only keep pace with them, but also stand at the pinnacle of the mage class, becoming the recognized King of Mages.

"My safety tonight is in your hands."

Mo Lingyun was quite interested in the banquet personally organized by the city lord. After getting to know the upper-level NPCs in Wangyue City, many things would be easier to handle in the future.

He needs this kind of network.

"No problem!" Lin Hanchuan assured him.

Tonight's main purpose is to get to know the upper-level NPCs, and incidentally, have the old oak tree help identify which of those NPC residents are actually demons in disguise.

That's it.

They don't know how to fight.

They won't fight.

"The Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set, originally priced at 1000 gold coins, was prioritized for the brothers in the raid team according to the previous rules. There were a total of 80 pieces, of which 60 were sold and 20 were given away." Mo Lingyun steered the conversation back to the Water Bear Monster Set.

"The set was sold to the strategy team at half price, as you requested, for a total of 30,000 gold coins. I'll transfer it to you now."

"No need!" Lin Hanchuan said, "You can use it for emergencies later."

Lin Hanchuan was desperately short of money.

Every building constructed in Wangyue City thereafter would cost money.

However, Mo Lingyun was also short of money.

You need to give out some perks to the strategy team players!
You have to give me a red envelope if I get the dungeon walkthrough!
In the future, when dealing with those high-ranking NPCs, you'll have to give them gifts!

This is all money!
You need to throw in real gold coins.

Fortunately, the tavern and weapons factory have already opened, which will alleviate their gold coin shortage to some extent.

“Okay!” Mo Lingyun didn’t refuse.

As they were chatting, more and more players were adding Mo Lingyun as a merchant.

Mo Lingyun created a group chat for business people.

Lin Hanchuan and the Faceless Passerby were both invited inside.

Lin Hanchuan's main role was to keep things in order.

The Faceless Passerby is a man of action; he needs to work with Mo Lingyun to identify the merchant players who will ultimately join, and then return to reality to sign the contracts.

Lin Hanchuan wasn't idle either. After chatting with Roger for a while, he received a message from Long Xiaochen.

Long Xiaochen: "Captain, I've arrived at the weapons factory. Can you come out and meet me? The new guard doesn't seem to recognize us."

“I’m coming right now.” — Lin Hanchuan
After replying to the message, Lin Hanchuan left the factory and brought Long Xiaochen in. Following his advice, Roger observed that there were fifty or sixty NPCs patrolling outside the factory.

Players can't even get in.

He led Long Xiaochen and the others into the factory.

As soon as he stepped inside, Lin Hanchuan handed the spatial ring that Rosen had given him to Long Xiaochen, saying, "The resources you three need for your second transformation are all in here. Take what you need!"

Long Xiaochen took the spatial ring, glanced at the items inside, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Captain, aren't you afraid that after I reach the second stage of my cultivation, my combat power will surpass yours and I'll become number one on the Wangyue City combat power ranking?"

"It can come true in my dreams!" Lin Hanchuan said nonchalantly.

"Not necessarily!" Long Xiaochen took out the resources he needed for his second transformation from his spatial ring, handed the spatial ring to Cao Renjie, and then couldn't wait to advance to the next transformation.

Along with the resources needed for the second advancement of the Elf Lord, they disappeared from Long Xiaochen's storage space, and a milky white light surged around him.

After a few seconds.

Long Xiaochen successfully crossed the threshold of the second job advancement, and the values ​​on his personal panel, such as health, mana, defense, etc., which were improved by basic attributes, began to skyrocket.

For example, during the first job advancement, one point of Intelligence increases spell attack by 3 points!
However, upon reaching the second job advancement, one point of Intelligence will increase spell attack by 4 points. This is not an increase after leveling up in the second job advancement, but rather a complete recalculation and refresh based on the existing attribute points on the panel.

The excess experience points immediately allowed Long Xiaochen to level up continuously.

Level 31!
Level 32!
Level 33!
Level 34! !

After leveling up four times, Long Xiaochen immediately allocated all his free attribute points and eagerly opened the Wangyue City combat power ranking.

[Wangyue City Battle Power Ranking]

First, Arakawa White Owl

Second, the dragon that soars too high will regret it.

I only glanced at it, and the power rankings were refreshed the next moment.

As Long Xiaochen had been expecting, his name did indeed disappear from the second position, but instead of first, it appeared in third place.

Second place: Bloodhand Demon Slayer!
"Holy crap!!!" Long Xiaochen immediately turned to look at Cao Renjie, "Old Cao, are you cheating?! How did your combat power increase so much after the second transformation?"

"Hey Lao Cao! Don't you know that my shield can evolve into a two-star rare item after reaching the second rank?" Cao Renjie stroked the shield given to him by the mercenary guild leader and said to Long Xiaochen with a smile, "Little Long, call me Master Cao!"

Long Xiaochen immediately changed the subject, saying to Lin Hanchuan, "Captain, your combat power is too stable! My combat power at level 34 after second job advancement is not as high as your combat power at level 29 after first job advancement!"

"Calm down!" Lin Hanchuan said calmly. "Don't forget, besides an A-rank Fireball, I also have a Star Contract!"

Attributes, skills, contracted creatures, and everything else that can be used in actual combat will be recognized by the system as the player's personal combat power.

Lin Hanchuan alone might not surpass Long Xiaochen by much, but he has Xingchen's support: a Star Descendant, a Nine-Star Demon Plant Master, and a Divine-grade Demon Plant.

How could we possibly lose to Long Xiaochen?
"Sigh!" Long Xiaochen sighed deeply.

Upon reaching the second job advancement, he not only failed to surpass Lin Hanchuan, but was also overshadowed by Cao Renjie.

He was a little frustrated. Long Xiaoyue had also completed her second transformation by this time, and her ranking on the combat power list remained unchanged at fourth place.

Seeing this, Long Xiaochen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, my younger sister was there to cushion my fall.

My own sister is the best!

"Hey boss, wanna go grind some monsters together later?" Cao Renjie didn't insist that Long Xiaochen call him "Master Cao," but instead looked at Lin Hanchuan and invited, "Hurry up and level up to the second job advancement, then we can take down the Boss in the launch event together!"

The moment jungle farming was mentioned, Lin Hanchuan bought a Liandry's Torment mask, saying, "I really don't have time!"

"The Water Bear Monster outfit is already online, and we need someone to sell it. Once Lao Mo has selected a merchant, I'll be going back to the company this afternoon to work on the online contract signing with them."

"Lord Sharp has arranged a banquet for me tonight. All the important figures in Wangyue City will be attending. I can't leave at all."

"After the banquet, it will be daytime in the real Yanhuai City."

"I guess I'll have to go to the company again. I need to get the internal framework set up as soon as possible and establish the necessary departments immediately. I can't delay any longer. If this continues, I'm really going to be exhausted."

Lin Hanchuan looked utterly hopeless.

He also wanted to farm jungle camps.

But I really can't leave.

There are many things that are more important than gaining experience points.

He now wishes he could split himself into three pieces.

That's probably not enough.

"Captain, I've already spoken to my father about your company." Long Xiaoyue spoke up, looking at Lin Hanchuan softly, "If you're willing, I'll have the Long Group provide you with comprehensive assistance!"

"I'll help you quickly establish the prototype of an all-around company related to the current online gaming industry. The initial investment may be a bit large, but I'll cover it personally for now. I still have several hundred million in savings."

"You still have hundreds of millions?!" Long Xiaochen exclaimed in surprise. "Sis, didn't you say you were broke when I borrowed money from you to buy a sports car last time?"

Long Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at her own brother.

Long Xiaochen looked at Lin Hanchuan with envy.

His own sister was a miser.

She saved all the New Year's money her parents gave her.

She saved all the money from her graduation banquet, birthday banquet, coming-of-age banquet, and even the money she earned selling equipment in the first district.

When her parents asked, she said it was her dowry money.

When I asked her myself, she said she had no money!
Ok!

Lin Hanchuan hasn't even spoken yet, and they're already going to take everything out.

If anyone treats me this well, I, Long Xiaochen, will be their slave in my next life!
How could Lin Hanchuan refuse Long Xiaoyue's timely help? He immediately nodded and said, "Xiaoyue, you've really helped me a lot this time!"

"After the company is established, you will receive 20% of the shares!"

Lin Hanchuan is currently in a state of spending money. He has spent all the gold coins he earned in the descent, and now he is short of money.

In reality, if you were to establish an all-encompassing company related to the arrival of the gods, with its own website, its own club, its own business department, finance, human resources, legal team... and even pay salaries to contracted players, etc.

It requires a lot of money; the more than 100 million I currently have is really not enough.

However, once it's established, things will be much easier for me right now. At least I won't have to go offline anymore and deal with contract signings.

Unable to repay the favor, Lin Hanchuan voluntarily offered 20% of the company's shares.

"I don't want it..." Long Xiaoyue shook her head.

This time, Lin Hanchuan didn't give her a chance to refuse, "If you don't want it, I don't want it either!"

"Alright then!" Long Xiaoyue nodded helplessly.

Long Xiaochen rubbed his hands together and said cheekily, "Captain, I still have tens of millions in cash on hand..."

"I don't want it!" Lin Hanchuan immediately refused. Long Xiaochen gave him tens of millions, but he would never ask for shares or return the money.

The reason I say this is simply because this guy always wants to join in the fun.

Long Xiaochen: "Alas! I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter..."

Lin Hanchuan took out a bamboo tube.

Long Xiaochen immediately leaned over, "Ahem!! Captain, is this the bamboo tube that held the Saint-grade wine?"

"Hmm!" Lin Hanchuan nodded lightly.

"Brother, please!"

"Give it to me!!!"

"Hehe! Thanks, bro!!"

After taking the bamboo tube, Long Xiaochen took out a bottle of water that he had prepared in advance from his spatial ring and poured it into the bamboo tube.

Although Lin Hanchuan finished the wine.

However, the bamboo tube still retained an extremely strong aroma of wine.

After filling the glass with water, Long Xiaochen took a small sip, then looked at Cao Renjie and said,

"Little Cao, call me Brother Long and I'll give you a sip. This is the latest secondhand Saint-grade wine! Although it won't give you any extra attributes or improve your skills, it will let you savor the aftertaste of Saint-grade wine!"

Cao Renjie: "Get out!!"

"Tch! You'll regret this!" Long Xiaochen took a big gulp, not forgetting to greet Mo Lingyun.

Long Xiaochen and his group didn't stay at the weapons factory for long. After leaving behind a dozen or so architectural blueprints, they left the city again.

Before leaving, Long Xiaoyue didn't forget to tell Lin Hanchuan, "Captain, let me know when you log off."

After seeing Long Xiaochen and the others off.

Lin Hanchuan picked up the blueprints.

One architectural blueprint for a restaurant, one architectural blueprint for a pharmacy, and eleven architectural blueprints for residential villas.

"Old Mo, I'm going to build a house!"

After saying goodbye to Mo Lingyun, Lin Hanchuan left the weapons factory with the architectural blueprints.

Using his teleportation ability, Lin Hanchuan arrived at the Goblin Street near the City Hall. This street was originally planned as a high-end villa area in Wangyue City.

Lin Hanchuan used up all eleven building plans and built eleven villas in a row, each costing 10,000 gold coins to build.

Later, they went to the tavern, called on the Faceless Passerby, and chose two locations right next to the tavern to build a restaurant and a pharmacy.

After finishing everything, Lin Hanchuan returned to the weapons factory.

Mo Lingyun has already selected the first batch of businessmen to sign contracts, and the signing can be completed today.

People from the city hall also came.
