Dragon Raja's Number One Player

........................

The scales on the three "snakes" shimmered, and they rolled restlessly on the ground before slowly returning to calm, as if they were just a hair's breadth away from undergoing some kind of qualitative change.

Lin Zhiying listened calmly to the system notification sound coming from her ear.

You have used "Bloodline Enhancer (α) Grade A"

[Your bloodline: Grade B → Grade A]

[Status: Infinite Mana (4:57 remaining)]

[Ding! Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player "Lin Zhiying" for becoming the first player in the entire server to break through to A-rank bloodline! Reward: 50 points of critical points, 1 A-rank Word of Power of choice, and 10 points of Legendary Reputation]

Cutting water with a single stroke: ?

Five-second hand speed: Aren't we in the same auction house? How did you suddenly break through!

The forums were in an uproar, with countless players logging off and almost simultaneously typing "Lin Zhiying" into the search bar.

ID "I Want to Become a Dragon Master" wrote: "I seriously suspect that we're not playing the same game as this pro; he's playing a hacked version!"

ID Chen Wenwen's Dog: "I told you long ago, keep a Buddhist mindset, just look at the flowers in the game, isn't that great?"

ID玉足是对@ID陈雯雯的狗: "Are you Lu Mingfei? And this flower you mentioned, is it even legitimate?"

………………

Caesar smiled; he had known about the existence of the dragon blood potion for a long time.

Although Lin Zhiying's decision to drink it was somewhat unexpected, overall it wasn't too surprising.

Henkel, on the other hand, was completely different. He was immediately proven wrong after making his sarcastic remarks.

His facial expression changed several times, and finally he forced a smile, but it felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

Lin Zhiying didn't have time to care about how he was doing; his mind was entirely focused on the "A-level Word of Power Selection".

"King's Flame", "Bronze Throne", "Celestial Evolution", "Kamaitachi"...

A-rank incantations are, normally speaking, the limit that a hybrid's body can withstand.

Almost all the powerful incantations that could be named in the original work appeared before him.

If he so desired, the temporary "Junyan" would immediately become permanent, but Lin Zhiying did not intend to choose it.

He needs a Word of Power that can help him in his current situation.

"Tianyan" might be a good choice; he could instantly transform into "Einstein" and experience the feeling of being the most powerful brain.

However, for players, such Words of Power are too useless; they need Words of Power that can also provide a certain level of combat power.

On the task panel, the remaining time for the task has officially entered the one-hour countdown.

He chuckled softly, worried that there wouldn't be enough time?

So he chose "Word of Power: Time Zero"!

"Time Zero" replaced "Junyan," and an invisible domain spread out around him. In an instant, a strange feeling arose in his mind.

The world has come to a standstill!

Everything around him slowed down until Lin Zhiying noticed that the "infinite mana" status on the panel was still flowing normally.

He then realized that he had become faster and faster.

Recreating the "Time Zero" effect from the original work is a significant challenge for Xuanyu Company.

Stopping the entire server directly to achieve "time zero" is definitely not feasible. Their final solution was to create two different effects:

One is to slow down the time around you, and the other is to accelerate your own time.

This way, we can both stay true to the original work and achieve the desired technical results – a win-win situation!

Activating just one of the effects already consumes a terrifying amount of mana.

In Xuanyu Company's vision, no player can activate two effects simultaneously in the early stages of the game.

But Lin Zhiying is an exception.

The five-minute "unlimited mana" allows him to use "Time Zero" at will.

Currently, he can only achieve either a tenfold halt or a tenfold acceleration within a radius of three meters.

None of them are particularly outstanding on their own, but the problem is that with the support of "infinite mana", he can use "time zero" at the same time!

The sum of ten times the stagnation and ten times the acceleration equals one hundred times!

From Lin Chih-ying's perspective, time stood still.

"What kind of doujinshi plot is this?" he thought to himself.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis rose within him.

Lin Zhiying turned around and realized that the source of this feeling was Han Gao behind her.

Even though Han Gao remained motionless in his original posture, Lin Zhiying had a feeling that if she approached him, the outcome would definitely not be good.

The task was the priority, so he planned to use this time to search all the guests.

"Time Zero" combined with "Snake" ensures that no trace will be left.

After Lin Zhiying left, Caesar and Han Gao returned to normal.

Caesar was puzzled as to why Lin Zhiying had suddenly disappeared.

Han Gao, meanwhile, squinted slightly, looking thoughtfully towards the end of the corridor.

........................

As he turned another corner, Lin Zhiying encountered Jiu De Mai.

He glanced at her impressive figure, then thought of the 3D zone, and prepared to leave.

While he was with Mai Shutoku, his hand was suddenly grabbed.

My own "Time Zero" is always on.

He was caught at a speed a hundred times faster!

What's the difference between this and suddenly hearing someone knocking on the window while you're on an airplane thousands of meters in the air?

The next moment, he watched as Mai Shude slowly turned her head away.

She moved slowly at first, but then seemed to gradually adapt and became more agile.

Fortunately, it was a female ghost, Lin Zhiying felt somewhat relieved.

"Don't be confused, there are always some special people, like me, and like you."

Mai Shude spoke calmly.

Her slender fingers rested on Lin Zhiying's chin, then moved downwards to stop at his chest.

"Marked by a 'deity'? No wonder you're in such a hurry."

Lin Zhiying forced himself not to suck on her fingers.

He put on a very convincing, scared expression.

How did you know?

"Haha, your undisguised appearance is practically like you're running around naked in other people's eyes. I have a way to help you cover it up. Are you interested?"

Saketoku Mai's fingers slipped back into her straw hat.

Lin Zhiying's lewd mind automatically conjured up an image of Jiu De Mai tracing her finger across her lips and giving a seductive smile.

He couldn't help but lick his lips, which, in Mai Shude's view, was a sign of his hesitation.

"You can call me when you need me."

Mai Shude slipped a postcard, still warm from her body, into his hand, and then quickly left.

He stopped just before turning the corner and said:

"If you're looking for someone, you can check the security personnel."

"Security personnel?"

Lin Zhiying asked suspiciously, "Could it be an inside man?"

"I saw that guy in the bathroom just now. He was quite unusual, but he's definitely gone by now."

"Currently, only security personnel are allowed to move freely within the auction house."

Mai Shude leaned against the wall, her legs, clad in black stockings and red high heels, slightly raised.

"Thank you."

Lin Zhiying couldn't figure out what purpose Jiu De Mai had in telling her this news.

But if it's true, it could really be a huge help to him.

"You're welcome. I only told you because you're handsome."

After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.

"Security personnel?"

Lin Chih-ying admitted that she had indeed overlooked this point before.

With two minutes remaining in his "unlimited mana" state, he used that time to walk through all three floors of the auction house.

He observed and counted the number of security guards one by one, finishing the count before the "unlimited mana" countdown ended, and then returned to the front of the private room to meet up with Caesar.

Lin Zhiying just counted the number of people one by one; there are 51 security personnel.
